Tang Xingsheng, the captain of the special team of the secret service, recruited two martial arts masters with particularly strong arms.

The two martial arts masters were tested by Sichuan Direct Post and were able to climb a big tree with the help of ropes.

Seeing that everything was ready, Tang Xingsheng proposed to Sichuan Direct Mail: "Captain Sichuan, there is a Japanese bunker in Dongniuyu Village, Xingtai, with a Japanese detachment and a puppet army platoon inside; can we try our skills for a while?"

Sichuan Zhiyou shook his head and said: "If we are going to attack, we must gain something; a dozen or so Japs can't arouse my interest."

Tang Xingsheng was very happy to hear this. However, for the Eighth Route Army, offensive battles have never been a strong point. He explained: "Dongniuyu Village is not far from Xingtai; once there is a problem in the offensive, the enemies in Xingtai will arrive quickly by car.

Reinforcements from Dongniuyu Village..."

When Sichuan Zhimail heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Approximately how many Japanese soldiers can the enemy in Xingtai send out at one time?"

Tang Xingsheng immediately understood that Sichuan Direct Post hoped to attack the enemy's reinforcements. He thought for a while and said: "The Japs in Xingtai have a brigade headquarters and a squadron of guards; they are the mobile troops of the Japs in the entire Xingtai area. If it is Dongniuyu

The village was attacked; the Japanese in Xingtai could probably dispatch a reinforced squadron, no less than 200 people."

Sichuan Direct Mail nodded and said, "Chief of Staff Tang, can you take me to see the terrain?"

"Of course!" Seeing that Sichuan Direct Mail was very cautious, Tang Xingsheng certainly couldn't ask for it. After all, it is not easy to gather so many elite soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. If there are battle losses in the first battle, it will not be easy to report to his superiors.

Accounted for.

Early the next morning, Tang Xingsheng personally took four people from Sichuan Direct Post to Dongniuyu Village and the highway from the village to Xingtai for reconnaissance.

Also going to participate in the reconnaissance were Yu Daonian, Zhao Guanli and Wan Taoshan.

Two days later, Tang Xingsheng and his party returned to Liao County. Sichuan Direct Mail immediately wrote a combat plan and gave it to Tang Xingsheng.

Tang Xingsheng immediately reported to Commander Peng of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

After careful study, Chief Peng, the Deputy Chief of General Staff and several others approved the battle plan. At the same time, they decided to send personnel to observe the battle.

Sichuan Zhiyou saw that his battle plan had attracted the attention of the head of the headquarters, and he felt somewhat stressed; after all, this was the first time he had presided over a battle.

In the afternoon of that day, a special team of more than 70 people set out carrying two 60-gun cannons and seven heartless cannons.

There are a total of sixteen members of the headquarters observation group, mainly leaders of the headquarters staff department and the special agent group. The team is led by the deputy chief of general staff and escorted by a squad of soldiers. They set off after dark.

It was exactly twelve o'clock at night when the special team arrived near Dongniuyu Village.

Sichuan Direct Mail arranged for the soldiers to rest for an hour and took the opportunity to connect the two ends of the temporary bridge.

At one o'clock in the morning, Sichuan Direct Mail announced the battle plan to all the soldiers.

Then, he waved his big hand and whispered: "The action begins!"

Four gunmen, Yu Daonian, Zhao Guanli, Wan Taoshan, and Li Sichao, acted as the main shooters and hid at the front of the enemy's stronghold.

Four backup shooters, Xu Wanwan, Hu Dagan, Li Mingwa, and Zhan Youyou, also followed them to the vicinity of the enemy's stronghold.

Tang Xingsheng, Sichuan Zhimail, Yu Daonian and others had already clearly seen the outposts in the enemy's stronghold during their reconnaissance a few days ago.

A five-meter-wide deep trench was dug around the enemy stronghold in Dongniuyu Village; a suspension bridge was erected in front of the gate of the stronghold. Behind the stronghold, there was a two-and-a-half-story bunker; a detachment of thirteen Japanese soldiers lived inside.

There is a light machine gun and ten rifles. There is also a telephone that can be directly connected to the Xingtai brigade headquarters.

In front of the bunker, there is a row of bungalows. In addition to warehouses, kitchens, and toilets, there are four rooms where three squads of the puppet army and the chief and deputy platoon commanders of the puppet army are stationed. They are equipped with a Czech light machine gun.

At night, there were two puppet soldiers standing guard under the bunker; a gas lamp was hung in front of the suspension bridge, which clearly illuminated the trench near the gate. Of course, the two puppet soldiers on guard could also be seen clearly from the outside.

There is a searchlight on the bunker, and two Japanese soldiers stand guard; once they find any noise, the Japanese can use the searchlight to check at any time.

No matter how you look at it, this stronghold seems to be impregnable. If they want to attack it, the Japanese and puppet troops will hold on for a while; then, the Japanese reinforcements will arrive and attack the attacking troops from both inside and outside...

When Yu Daonian and Zhao Guanli saw the puppet soldiers exposed under the gas lamp, they raised their guns almost at the same time, took aim slightly, and pulled the triggers at the same time.

"Puff!"

As two slight gunshots were heard, two puppet soldiers were shot in the head and fell to the ground.

The two Japanese soldiers on the bunker seemed to hear the noise. They turned around and shined their searchlights downwards.

"Puff!"

Wan Taoshan and Li Sichao's guns rang out.

The two Japanese soldiers were also shot in the head and fell on the bunker.

Sichuan Direct Post waved his big hand and lowered his voice and said: "Cross the ditch!"

At this time, four team members rushed over carrying a temporary wooden bridge about six meters long.

They had been trained specifically in the camp and were very skilled in building wooden bridges on the trenches.

Sichuan Zhiyou walked onto the wooden bridge first. He crossed the wooden bridge like a civet cat and reached the other side.

Following closely behind were Qin San and two warriors with high martial arts skills, and the other warriors also crossed the wooden bridge smoothly.

Thinking of the Japanese in the bunker, Qin San's legs trembled.

Chuan Zhiyou grabbed Qin San's arm, and Qin San barely stood still.

Chuan Zhimail pointed to the door of the bunker.

Qin San hesitated for a moment, but he felt the power of Sichuan Direct Post's fingers, so he had to step forward, took out a knife as thin as a cicada's wing, and stuck it into the crack of the bunker door. He gently opened the door.

After a few moments, he turned back and shook his head towards Sichuan Direct Mail.

Sichuan Direct Mail immediately launched the second plan. He shook his head at the two martial arts masters.

The two quickly took out their flying claws and threw them towards the roof of the bunker...

Soon, both of them successfully climbed up the watchtower.

Sichuan Direct Post asked Qin San to open the door of the puppet army barracks. Fortunately, the doors of the puppet army barracks were all ajar.

Only the dormitory of the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader was locked. Qin opened it by clicking three times, five times and two times.

The two masters held bright bayonets in their hands and quietly went down to the second floor of the bunker. They saw six Japanese soldiers sleeping on wooden beds.

The two made gestures to divide the work, and after a while, the two killed the six Japanese in their sleep.

There are five more Japs downstairs.

When the two came downstairs, a soldier opened the bunker door.

Sichuan Zhiyou led the soldiers and rushed in.

The Japanese were awakened by the footsteps of the soldiers and were about to get up to see what was going on. Who knew they were greeted by gun butts one after another...

After the five Japanese were knocked unconscious, they were immediately tied up.

The puppet troops in the bungalow spent little effort, because the puppet troops' guns were placed on the gun racks beside the door. The soldiers who were rushed in took control of the guns first.

The soldiers pointed their rifles at the puppet soldiers and shouted: "Get up! Raise your hands!"

"Don't be so joking... It's the third watch in the middle of the night... ah? It's the real Eighth Route Army..."

More than an hour later, the observation group arrived at the stronghold...
Chapter completed!
