Chapter 1966 Find the Japanese Scout
The Japanese army reorganized the artillery group and deployed it on the reverse slope, leaving the artillery regiment with no choice.
The news and the solution to the problem were sent to Zhao Zhiguo's headquarters.
"The Japanese artillery fire caused a lot of casualties to our attacking troops. Now both sides have become honest children during the day, and the Japanese army has sent more troops for defense at night. It is indeed difficult for us to make a large-scale breakthrough." Matthew Wen said.
Unable to implement a large-scale breakthrough, the Japanese army could continue to send more troops to the road positions, and might even launch a counterattack at night.
Repeated changes of positions will only increase casualties and prevent Zhao Zhiguo and others from completing their set goals.
"If we want to capture the Japanese army's positions, it seems we have to deal with the Japanese army's artillery positions first," Zhao Zhiguo said.
Zhao Zhiguo did not want to spend too much time with the Japs near the highway position.
The battle initiated by Gangcun has already taken Zhao Zhiguo and the others for more than twenty days. If they spend another twenty days on the road position, not to mention the casualties of the frontline soldiers, there may be no supplies in the rear to supply the frontline troops.
Zhao Zhiguo didn't know how much supplies Gangcun still had on hand, but he was sure that their ammunition would not last another twenty days.
"Old Yao went to interrogate the kid. Only you are familiar with the affairs of the special forces." Matthew said.
In order to suppress Zhao Zhiguo's momentum, the Central Army and Mr. Yan made up nonsense in the newspapers and took almost all the credit to Mr. Yan.
The overwhelming propaganda in the newspapers was all about Mr. Yan’s wisdom, and not a word was mentioned about the Eighth Route Army.
In order to win this breath, Team Leader Gu thought of using radio broadcasts to ask the little devils to speak, so that he could advantageously launch a counterattack against the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army.
You don't need to use a single soldier to disgrace Mr. Yan.
"I will arrange for people to go to Qin Dongsheng's headquarters, and then ask Qin Dongsheng to assign combat missions to them."
Qin Dongsheng is the supreme commander in charge of frontline operations, so he is naturally responsible for deploying frontline combat missions.
Moreover, Qin Dongsheng had decided to adopt this method, and Zhao Zhiguo could only arrange troops to cooperate with him.
Once the task is handed over, it is their business to do what happens next. Zhao Zhiguo only needs the results.
A special force team entered Qin Dongsheng's headquarters with weapons, and the special force soldiers lined up neatly in two rows.
"Old Yao's soldiers are very powerful." Qin Dongsheng was a little envious.
"Brigadier Qin, we already heard about the mission when we came here, but we still need to confirm some details with you."
Make complete preparations before taking action, this is what Zhao Zhiguo told the special operations team.
When they arrived in enemy-occupied territory, they had no support, no logistics, and no guarantee. The only people they could rely on were themselves and their companions.
Therefore, both officers and soldiers must be fully prepared before taking action.
"Come on, come on, we have marked it on the map." Qin Dongsheng said, "You can take this map with you, and the mortar crew has also prepared it for you. There are five of them in total. They will absolutely obey your orders.
"
"Do any of them speak Japanese?"
"I'm afraid they don't have this. They can only operate mortars skillfully, and their individual combat effectiveness is relatively strong."
The five mortar operators were all carefully selected by Qin Dongsheng. After all, this mission was very difficult, and he did not want to slow down the operations of the special operations team because of the problem of the mortar operators.
In fact, every soldier in the special operations team can skillfully operate a mortar, but whether they can fire accurately is another matter.
"Do you need anything else?" Qin Dongsheng asked.
"Our equipment is very complete." The equipment of the special forces soldiers is all wartime equipment and they are always ready. "We also asked Brigadier Qin to prepare Japanese military uniforms, 38-type caps and Japanese-style grenades for the five gunners.
Of course it would be best to equip them with a telescope."
"I have a question, how long will it take for you to complete the task?"
Qin Dongsheng did not want to spend too long fighting the Japanese army on the battlefield. This kind of attrition war would increase the casualties of the troops and would not be of much benefit.
"It will take three days at the earliest and five days at the latest," said the captain of the special operations team.
"Okay, follow your pace. I'm waiting for your good news here."
Qin Dongsheng also knew that sneaking behind enemy lines to fight would definitely be difficult. If the time was forcibly shortened, it would only increase the pressure.
In Heyun County, three corpses of Chinese soldiers were hung on the dilapidated city walls.
These three Chinese soldiers were observers of the artillery regiment. After the Japanese artillery position was destroyed, they disappeared. No one knew where they went.
Zhu Hongsi concluded that they were sacrificed, but neither alive nor dead bodies were seen. Finally, with the help of Zhao Zhiguo, he defined sacrifice for them.
The special forces disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers. After taking a look at the corpses of the soldiers on the city wall, they had already determined their identities.
The gunner in the team was a little stunned when he looked at the hanging corpse. The special forces soldier who followed him quickly pushed the gunner and whispered: "Don't look up. The little devil has sharp eyes. Don't hurt us all."
Dead."
If you want to destroy the Japanese artillery positions, you must first obtain cannons. If you want to obtain cannons, you must enter Heyun County.
The Japanese troops outside the county town actually wanted artillery. If you asked them for it, they would definitely not give it to you. The best way was of course to go into the city.
Qin Weitong was also in Heyun County. They worked as traitors in Heyun County and also worked part-time to spy on the Japanese army.
Despite the fact that the Japanese army had recently replaced them with new monitoring equipment, Qin Weitong and his colleagues did not dare to turn on their radio stations at will to avoid being discovered by the Japanese army.
After the special forces team entered the city, the first thing they did was to contact Qin Weitong and the others.
After connecting, they naturally started talking about the three corpses hanging on the city wall.
"The night before yesterday, that is, the evening when the Japanese heavy artillery position was blown up, the Japanese troops hung them up. We also wanted to put them down, but the walls were full of little Japs," Qin Weitong said.
It took the special team a day to arrive from Qin Dongsheng's headquarters to Heyun County.
"Before entering the city, I guessed their identities. Judging from the time, they should be the artillery observers who lost contact with the artillery regiment." The captain of the special operations team said, "I didn't expect you to know about the bombing of the Japanese artillery position."
"This is not a big secret, and we also got some information and got some information casually." Qin Weitong said, "But... you are not here to save the three of them, are you?"
The captain of the special force glanced at Qin Weitong: "How many subordinates do you have in Heyun County?"
Qin Weitong chuckled: "Just keep it a secret, why bother beating me around the bush?"
"I want to save the three of them. Can you be responsible for burying them?" the captain of the special operations team asked.
"If you can put them down, I can bury them, but even the monument is a matter, here is an enemy -occupied area." Qin Weitong said.
"I still need a mortar, do you have a way here?"
