The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Text Chapter 927 Lurking

The thick cloud cover was dark and heavy, and the early morning wind was biting. In a large field overgrown with weeds, an entire infantry company's guerrilla officers and soldiers were ambushing.

The devil commanders in Gaoyou City are very cunning. After their plan to lure the enemy into the city to wipe out Yang Ling and the others failed, they began to fight house to house, trying to consume Yang Ling and the others while waiting for reinforcements to counter the encirclement.

Yang Ling planned to leave a small part of his troops in the city to confront the little devils, while the main force of the guerrilla corps was secretly dispatched outside the city, preparing to destroy the devils and puppet troops who came to reinforce them.

At least one infantry company's guerrilla officers and soldiers were lurking near the main roads in all directions of Gaoyou City. They left the city secretly in the middle of the night last night, and had been lurking in the icy field for several hours.

Compared with the numbers of the puppet troops in the other occupied areas that remained on paper, the puppet troops in Gaoyou City were well-organized and well-organized, with a total of 2000 people in the surrounding villages and towns.

This also has a lot to do with the fact that the little devil has been coveting China for a long time. During the melee period of the Beiyang warlords, the devil sent a large number of agents and spies to operate in various parts of China, and the coastal areas were even more rampant.

For example, the devil is now the commander of the 11th Army Neiji Okamura, the division head Kenji Doihara and others were formerly consultants under the Chinese warlords, or they were active spies who knew China like the back of their hands.

It is precisely because of the more than ten years of activities of devil spies and agents, during which they wantonly bought and wooed traitors, so when devil troops entered these areas, the local traitors quickly moved into action, and soon established a support organization to assist devils Yes, puppet troops.

These hardcore traitors firmly believe in the so-called "China-Japan friendship" and "establishment of a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" that the devils preach, so they follow the devils wholeheartedly.

The devils have been planning to swallow China for a long time. Now they are not only trying to occupy by force, but also wantonly opening schools in the occupied areas, trying to enslave education, trying to train more traitors.

I have to say that the little devil's method is effective, and now there are a large number of Chinese in the field troops that the devil is fighting with the Chinese army.

They are the heavy rattan detachment from Taiwan, which later became the wave field detachment. They are brigade-level troops with strong strength.

In addition, during the Battle of Songhu, part of the army of the "Puppet Manchukuo" even fought all the way to Changzhou, Jiangsu. They fought fiercely and had to be transferred back to the original garrison area due to heavy losses.

The current garrison area in Gaoyou and its vicinity is the troops of the Fifth Public Security Brigade, and they are also one of the earliest puppet troops established.

Many of the officers in these puppet troops are people with actual combat experience, and many of them are even Chinese soldiers who fought bloody battles with the devils in the Battle of Songhu.

But they were captured by the devils in the subsequent rout, and the devils massacred many captured civilians and soldiers who laid down their weapons.

Watching their companions being beheaded by devils one by one, their psychological defenses eroded by hunger and exhaustion finally collapsed. The desire to survive overcame their patriotism, and they finally chose to rebel and become another traitor.

They used to be glorious Chinese soldiers, but the devils were not at ease with them. In order for them to submit their names, these survivors swung their knives and had to kill many brothers who fought side by side with them.

Under the influence of various factors such as treason and killing their companions, although they are still alive and even appointed by the devils as officers of the puppet army, their psychology has become distorted and they have become murderous killing machines.

With such a group of officers who are full of evil spirits training and commanding, most of the regiments and battalions of the Fifth Public Security Brigade are strong in combat strength, except for some newly recruited companies.

They are all traitors, they can't stand the ridicule and white eyes of the people, so they become fierce, trying to make others fear them by killing.

Compared with those devils who are inferior to beasts, they are more cruel to their compatriots. One is to ask for credit and rewards and gain the trust of the devils. After all, the more Chinese they kill, the more the devils trust them.

Another important reason is that under the influence of various factors, their values ​​have been distorted, and they have become crazy and bloodthirsty people. They have broken their cans, and only killing can make them forget the blame from the bottom of their hearts.

At the last moment when the first guerrilla force in the Sulu theater led by General Ma Yuren attacked Gaoyou, the devil's skeleton special forces took down the headquarters, and faced the pincer attack of these puppet troops, the army collapsed.

These ferocious puppet troops immediately dispersed to search for the scattered guerrilla officers and soldiers. Once caught, they would be dealt with by death.

The bodies of guerrilla officers and soldiers hung in the vicinity of many main roads, gun towers and villages, many of which had been dried, and many were left in the wilderness to be eaten by wild dogs, which was a horrible sight.

Now in the enemy-occupied area, there are not only those devil soldiers who are like wolves and tigers, but also these wolf-like puppet minions with shining eyes. Those guerrilla troops left behind the enemy are in a difficult situation when they lack ammunition and food .

Fortunately, the Chongqing Military Commission formulated a winter offensive, and all war zones across the country launched a large-scale counterattack against the devils. This made the guerrillas who were beaten and hid in Tibet finally proud.

The Fifth Brigade of the puppet army has been dispersed. They use the battalion and company as the unit, and expand the search area around Gaoyou City as the center, hunting down the scattered guerrillas.

It was already dawn when they received the return order from the devil commander in the city, Shaozuo Qingchuan, and gathered again.

But these puppet troops did not stop at all, and immediately marched towards Gaoyou City from all directions, preparing for another internal and external attack to wipe out Yang Ling and his troops.

But this time Yang Ling was prepared. The combat company equipped with Japanese equipment had already been dispatched to ambush in various main roads outside the city in the middle of the night, waiting for the puppet army.

The scope of the puppet army's search and arrest has been expanded, and it is not a short distance from Gaoyou City, and their grassroots commanders are almost all former Chinese military officers with rich combat experience.

They understood the combat methods of guerrilla forces, and often surrounded and attacked key points, so they did not rush in the dark, but used the reason of assembly to reinforce Gaoyou City after dawn.

As a result, those guerrilla units that were going to ambush to help the puppet army had to lurk in the icy field for several hours. In this midwinter season, lurking in the icy field, the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas were all bruised and swollen from the cold. .

Although they had prepared for the various problems lurking before, and even smeared lard on the exposed skin and flesh, the cold soaked into the bones.

Liu Jinhu, the deputy battalion commander, was wearing a camouflage suit made of weeds. He crawled like a snake in the wilderness full of weeds, patrolling everywhere.

The brothers had been lurking in the foxholes for a long time, covered with floating soil and weeds, their body temperature dropped so badly that many of them were shivering from the cold, and some even had a fever.

"Persevere, the enemy will come soon."

"Cheer up, don't fall asleep..."

Liu Jinhu, the deputy battalion commander, was constantly encouraging the lurking brothers, setting up an ambush in the near wilderness, which was not an easy task in the first place.

Now that it was dawn, they were even more afraid to move rashly, because once they stood up, they could be seen from a distance, so they could only lurk under the disguise of foxholes and blend in with the surroundings.

Text Chapter 928 Puppet Army

Lurking in the icy field in the middle of winter, the bone marrow cold is devouring the combat effectiveness of the brothers. Although they try their best to huddle in the foxholes, they still can't feel the slightest warmth.

Those lurking experienced veterans will keep the stiff and cold hands and feet in a state of control through almost invisible slight movements.

But more recruit brothers were lurking there stiff and cold. Faced with the cold and stiff hands and feet, they had lost consciousness.

Fortunately, the deputy battalion commander Liu Jinhu, who was disguised in weeds, patrolled around like a wriggling snake. He discovered the bad state of the brothers and asked the brothers in the adjacent foxholes to take care of each other to prevent any brothers from really falling asleep.

Sleeping in this icy wild field, even wearing a cotton coat and smearing lard, may still be frozen to death.

In the more than ten years of fighting with the Japanese invading army, the Chinese army with backward weapons and equipment fought the most in close combat and ambushes at night.

Because only in the dark night and sudden ambush operations, can the firepower gap with the devils be narrowed as much as possible to achieve an acceptable exchange ratio.

But this exchange ratio is also relative. In the face of those short, strong and explosive devil soldiers, the Chinese officers and soldiers with yellow complexion, emaciation and malnutrition actually have no advantage.

But compared to those who are bombarded by the devils with heavy artillery and have no power to fight back, they can use grenades to pull some backs in close combat with the devils. In every close combat, countless brothers with grenades strapped to their bodies will jump into the pile of devils, even though they know it is Death, but they still have no hesitation.

Melee combat is brutal, and it seems easy to fight an ambush, but in fact it is not easy. In the early days of the war, most of the inexperienced Chinese troops were often discovered by the devil's vanguard before they entered the ambush circle.

Because the devil's vanguards are almost all marching in parallel in the field of 200 meters on both sides of the road, if there is any trouble, they will be discovered by them, unless they have no time to send vanguards when they rush to help, but they will also fire for scouting.

Once the little devil finds out that there is an ambush, a brutal battle will follow, and the Chinese army that failed in the ambush has to evacuate and transfer immediately.

Because they can't confront the devils head-on except for ambushes, every time the ambush fails and the rapid withdrawal will leave a troop as cover to block the devils' pursuit, these troops that leave the cover are often wiped out by the whole army.

Such failed ambushes occurred almost every week on the Chinese battlefield, because many of the troops who ambushed the devils were recruits, even guerrillas without any military training, and the probability of being discovered by the devils in advance was very high.

But even so, ambush warfare is still one of the most effective combat methods to eliminate devils. Once it succeeds once, it is a big victory.

At this moment, Liu Jinhu, the deputy battalion commander, took a brother from the infantry company to ambush in the field beside a small stream, waiting for the puppet army to return.
