Chapter 184: Secretly assassinating Chen Cang (3)

"Yes, political commissar." More than a dozen cadres replied in unison.

"Okay, let's all disperse. Do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers, especially the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment. Most of the soldiers there are new soldiers who joined the army in Shanxi Province. We will start the operation on time in the evening. Here is the division headquarters

The attached logistics and baggage company guards have all dispersed!" Brigadier Gao Yuan waved his hand.

In the evening, each battalion of the Second Independent Brigade left the camp on time and ran towards their destination under the leadership of local guides. Since the farthest town was nearly 100 miles away, the soldiers did not dare to relax at all.

, all hurrying on their way. Finally, at about 4 o'clock in the morning, Yangou Township and Dongshe Town, the farthest places, were also secretly surrounded by the Fourth Regiment's First Battalion and Third Battalion respectively.

Finally, the weather gradually became brighter. After eating breakfast and resting for a few hours, the soldiers' physical strength obviously recovered a lot.

Brigadier Gao Yuan personally led the guard company and reconnaissance company to surround the stronghold in Wangjiazhuang Township. According to the reconnaissance, there is currently only a small group of Japs guarding this stronghold. However, because Wangjiazhuang Township is located on an important road, the Japs still attach great importance to it.

Yes, the stronghold here is not just a military camp like others, but consists of three front and rear gun towers, and fire support can be provided between each gun tower.

"Brigadier Commander, these three Japanese artillery towers are very solid. If our shells cannot accurately hit the gun holes, there will be no threat to the dozens of Japanese soldiers inside. Moreover, there is a large amount of ammunition stored in the gun towers, which is enough.

The Japs inside held out for several days." The reconnaissance company commander pointed to the three gun towers not far away and said.

"Is it possible for the soldiers to rush over and blow him up with explosives?" Brigadier Gao Yuan suggested.

"Yes, but there will be a huge cost of casualties. When the Japanese built the gun tower, they basically cleared all the obstacles within a hundred meters around the gun tower. It can be said that within this distance of one hundred meters, the soldiers were completely

He is a living target for the Japanese." After hearing what the brigade commander said, the commander of the reconnaissance company quickly retorted.

"Looks like he's really tough! Come on, let's think about it and see how we can defeat the Japanese's three artillery towers in the shortest possible time, and our losses will be less." The brigade commander looked at the surrounding companies.

the platoon leader asked.

"Brigade commander, let's build earthen tanks." a platoon leader reminded.

"No, the Japs have grenade launchers. At such a long distance, the tanks are perfect targets for the Japs' grenade launchers." The reconnaissance company commander retorted quickly.

After listening to the company commander's words, everyone fell into silence.

"Brigadier Commander, can you make smoke bombs to smoke out the Japanese from the turret? As long as we drive them out of their turtle shells, our mortars can take care of them." A platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon said hesitantly.

"Well, that's a good idea. Let's talk about it in detail." The brigade commander nodded and asked.

"Yes, brigade commander, it's like this. Before I was assigned to the reconnaissance company, I followed my company commander to attack a traitor's gun tower. There were no cannons at the time. We suffered huge casualties, but made no progress.

Until later, a soldier came up with a good idea. Our whole company collected dozens of kilograms of chili peppers, piled them downwind, lit the chili peppers, and smoked out the traitors. Then, the battle ended smoothly.

." Perhaps because he saw the encouraging eyes of his brigade commander, the platoon leader fluently told what he had experienced.

"Brigade commander, this idea should be good. Our artillery company can also use chili pepper to change the shells into smoke screens and hit them directly in the middle of the Japanese gun towers." After hearing this, the artillery company commander immediately agreed.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, the security company will immediately go to the town to collect peppers and hand them over to the artillery company. The artillery company must transform the tear gas canisters in the shortest possible time and launch an attack on time."

Today is August 21, an unforgettable day for the Japanese troops in Yuanping County and an unforgettable day for the commander of the Japanese Taiyuan Command.

Just this morning, the Japanese soldiers stationed at various strongholds in Yuanping County blew the wake-up call as usual, and the soldiers lined up on the training ground on time to prepare for morning drills.

However, when they ran out of their barracks, they encountered a scene they would never forget. Their stronghold was tightly surrounded by Chinese troops descending from the sky. The muzzles of light machine guns and rifles were aimed at each other.

Looking at myself, what shocked me even more was that the opponent actually had mortars. The mortars with their muzzles raised were like lions with big mouths, ready to devour their lives at any time.

"Baga, how could this happen? Come on, get into combat position immediately. Come on," this was the first thing the commanders of each stronghold said to their soldiers after getting up.

At this time, Gao Yuan, as the brigade commander, was holding up his telescope and staring at the Japanese stronghold only three hundred meters away from him. Although the stronghold in front of him was the strongest among all the strongholds in Yuanping County. But look

Looking at the mortars with their muzzles raised on the outside position, the Japanese troops inside were still very confused, and they hurriedly got into their turtle shells one by one.

"Report to the brigade commander, we have prepared 24 loaded artillery shells and are ready for bombardment at any time," the artillery company commander said as he ran to the plateau.

Gao Yuan looked at his watch. "Well, after 5 minutes, launch the attack on time. Don't fire all the shells at once. Shoot several times every few minutes. You must force the Japanese out of their turtle shells." Gao Yuan said.

"Yes, Brigadier."

"Everything..." The dull sound of six shells being ejected reached Plateau's ears. At the same time, the sounds of mortar shells exploding from seven strongholds outside Yuanping County were heard. The explosions of shells.

The sound swore that Liu Hua's plan to assassinate Chen Cang had reached the final stage.

"Woooooooo..." The sound of mortar shells streaking across the sky reached the ears of the Japs in the Wangjiazhuang Township stronghold. "Baga, the Eighth Route Army has begun shelling. Be careful to hide." However, before he could finish speaking, six shells had already been fired.

It fell around three artillery towers. However, the Japanese soldiers, who covered their ears, did not wait for the explosion of the artillery shells.

"Could it be that the shells fired by the Eighth Route Army were all dumb bombs, just like the Chinese during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895? However, facts quickly verified that his judgment and conjecture were wrong. In less than a few seconds, hiding behind

The Japanese in the blockhouse could vaguely smell a spicy smell.

"Ah, it's a gas bomb, hurry up, the Eighth Route Army has released a poison gas bomb." A Japanese soldier looked outside the blockhouse and screamed. The scream drew the attention of all the Japanese soldiers to the outside of the blockhouse. At this moment, he saw himself

The turret where we stayed was completely shrouded in thick red smoke, which was constantly pouring in from the gun holes.

"Tong Tong Tong..." Six more loaded shells landed around the Japanese gun tower, and the smoke became even thicker. "Ahem, cough, cough..." From the gun tower, which was completely shrouded in thick smoke, came the violent sounds of the Japanese army.

The Japanese soldiers coughed. "Ah, despicable Eighth Route Army people, cough..." The Japanese soldiers kept coughing and insulting.

"Ah, Baga, I can't stand it anymore, I want to get out." Finally, some soldiers couldn't stand the spicy smell of smoke and began to run towards the door of the gun tower.

"Baga, come back, it's dangerous outside..." Looking at the soldiers pouring out, Chang Cao shouted loudly. However, the running Japanese soldiers didn't seem to hear it. They still covered their noses and closed their eyes.

Rushing out. One person, two people, and finally, even Chief Cao, who had always been opposed, ran out. In the place where the shell smoke was sparse, he kept panting.

Brigadier Gao Yuan kept staring at the Japanese stronghold not far away. As the smoke became thicker and thicker, Gao Yuan finally saw what he wanted to see. One by one, the Japanese soldiers covered their noses and escaped from the turret, running towards the back of the military camp.

Go and try to get some fresh air.

"One, two, three...fifty..." The brigade commander, the Japs are the most likely to come out. The political commissar next to him warned.

"Okay, order the artillery company to put in live ammunition and carry out covering fire on the Japanese military points. Be sure to keep the Japanese outside the artillery tower, and the guard company is ready to charge." Brigadier Gao Yuan immediately ordered.

"Everything..." Another group of artillery shells were fired into the sky, flying in a parabola towards the Japanese stronghold. "Woooooooooo..." The sound of the shells streaking across the sky reached everyone's ears. Standing in the air

The panting Japanese soldiers on the ground stared blankly at the approaching artillery shells, and did not take any evasive action. Because in their eyes, the artillery shells were still tear gas grenades that would not explode.

"Boom, boom, boom..." 12 artillery shells exploded into more than 12 gorgeous fireworks in the crowd of Japs. "Ah, Baga, it's not tear gas, you despicable Eighth Route Army, hurry up, go back to the artillery tower, go back to the artillery tower..." As the artillery shells

The explosions continued, and the Japs squad leader screamed and roared loudly.

However, the artillery company did not give them a chance, and group after group of artillery shells exploded towards the Japanese stronghold. The remaining Japanese soldiers were finally blown up completely.

"Guard company, charge. The old rule is, don't leave anyone alive." The brigade commander shouted to the guard company commander beside him.

"Tick-tock-tock..." A loud charge horn sounded from the Eighth Route Army position. Led by the guard company commander, a team of nearly a hundred people, with their guns raised, ran toward the Japanese stronghold where the smoke had not yet cleared.

Although there were still scattered sounds of counterattack in the Japanese artillery tower, under the intensive firepower of the guard company's submachine guns and rifles, the remaining Japanese troops were beaten into a hornet's nest one by one and fell into a pool of blood. "Kill..." the soldier

They roared loudly, passed through the stronghold wall that was blown into ruins, and attacked the Japanese stronghold.

Under the heavy fire of the guard company, the remaining Japanese soldiers would be driven into a hornet's nest as soon as they fought back. The soldiers rushed into the turrets with their guns in hand, and eliminated the Japanese soldiers inside room by room. The entire attack only required

Within a few minutes, a small group of Japanese soldiers who owned a strong fortification fell to the bullets of the soldiers' artillery.

"Report to the brigade commander, the guard company lost 5 people, 3 were seriously injured, and 8 were slightly injured. A small Japanese squad was completely wiped out. A complete small arsenal of Japanese weapons was captured." The guard company commander came to Gao Yuan with a face full of gunpowder and said.

.

"Okay, very good. The guard company will withdraw from the battle immediately and hand over the position to the second platoon of the reconnaissance company. The third platoon will clean up and leave the wounded. The troops will set off immediately and attack Yuanping County." Gao Yuan shouted to the surrounding company and platoon leaders.
