Chapter 911 Battle Plan

There are two more villages to the north of the village that Hao Xiazi and the others lost, and the three villages are listed in the shape of "pin".

Because the Forty Army entered the war in a hurry, the village where Hao Xiazi and the others were guarding did not have any decent fortifications except for the tall houses and many stone walls. They had no time to build the fortifications.

However, there is a small river between the two villages at the back and this village. During the winter in Shandong, the ground has long been civilized. The river is pure silt, and it has become a natural anti-tank trench.

Shang Zhen didn't know this at first, but Hao Xiazi certainly knew it. Considering that the Japanese tanks were coming and they really had no good defense means, Hao Xiazi withdrew his people.

It was almost dusk now, and the sky was getting increasingly gloomy, as if rain would drop from the low-hanging clouds at any time.

However, the sound of gunfire and explosions from the side and rear was still there. It was thought that the two companies in the camp were still resisting because they could not cross the silt-filled river relying on the Japanese armored vehicles.

But precisely because of this, Blind Hao was even more reluctant to come down.

So he took his men and set off. They would arrive at the prepared position according to the terrain that had been scouted in advance, where they would launch an attack on the Japanese troops in the village after dark.

"Should it rain today?" Blind Hao looked up at the sky and asked casually, but the person he looked at was still Shang Zhen.

Shang Zhen didn't expect that Blind Hao would still talk to him. When he was setting off, Blind Hao said angrily, "You, a Northeastern guy, will lead the new recruits and I will lead the veterans. Let's see who of us is better!".

Although those were angry words, it was still possible to see Hao Xiazi's dissatisfaction with Shang Zhen's status in the minds of the recruits.

Seeing that Blind Hao was talking to him again, Shang Zhen could only shake his head noncommittally, which undoubtedly meant who are you asking?

"Fuck, I forgot that you're not a fucking local either." Blind Hao said angrily.

Shang Zhen ignored Hao Xiazi's foul language. Hao Xiazi's temperament and temperament were no different from those of Northeasterners. He adapted well.

"It also rained at this time in previous years." At this time, a recruit replied.

"Oh." Blind Hao responded, but then he raised his eyebrows and glared at the recruit, "You are from AH and you are not from Shandong. How did you know?"

When the recruit saw that he had been robbed by Blind Man Hao, he lowered his head and walked without saying a word. He must have been scolding in his heart. Damn, you deserve to be scolded. Who told you to keep talking? And the "you" here of course refers to himself.

"Lower your waist, we're almost there!" Hao Xiazi ordered after walking for a few minutes.

They were walking down a long gentle slope. In another two minutes, they walked around the gentle slope. In front of them was a relatively large brick kiln and several bungalows. When they got there, they were only one mile away from the village they wanted to attack. .

Shang Zhen glanced at the top of the gentle slope and felt a little worried.

And his worry was purely due to his always cautious character.

Now they were walking under a gentle slope. If there were enemies on the gentle slope, they would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage. This was also the sensitivity to terrain that veterans like him had developed through long-term battles.

However, soon, when the more than 100 of them moved forward for a while, Shang Zhen's worries did not come true, but unexpected situations still occurred.

"Company Commander, Company Commander!" Suddenly a soldier from the front stepped out from under the gentle slope, and at the same time made a silent gesture to Hao Xiazi and the others. It was the observation post that Hao Xiazi had previously arranged here.

As soon as Blind Hao made a move, everyone lowered their bodies, and at the same time there was a "crash" sound from the weapons and equipment they carried.

The veterans all knelt on one knee, while some of the recruits simply lay on the ground.

"Be like a veteran, you can advance, attack, retreat or defend. If you are afraid of death, sometimes you will die faster. Pass on." Shang Zhen glanced back at the reactions of the new recruits and whispered.

"Oh." Li Qingfeng, who was following Shang Zhen, hurriedly whispered the words behind him.

At this time, the soldier in front bent down and ran back: "Company Commander, the Japanese have just sent sentries here. Four of them came. The iron chain and I can't fight, so we have to retreat here first."

After finishing speaking, the soldier had an apologetic expression on his face.

"Damn it, before we could use this place, the Japanese devils also took advantage of it." Blind Hao scolded.

There is no doubt that the Japanese army has also noticed this.

This kiln can protect the flanks of the village. When it comes to tactical literacy, compared with the Chinese army, the Japanese army is not inferior except for being slightly dull in the application of tactics.

Blind Hao discussed with his two platoon leaders. This time he ignored Shang Zhen, acting as if I could still do something without you, a Northeastern guy.

And the reason why there are only two platoon commanders is because the three platoon commanders have been killed.

Shang Zhen was indifferent to Blind Hao's attitude towards him. He listened to Blind Hao and the others studying the battle plan, but in his heart of course he was thinking about what to do next.

"Have you seen the positions of the four Japanese sentries?" After a while, Blind Hao asked the sentry.

"I saw it. There are two on the roof of the broken brick kiln, and two in a room next to it." The sentry replied.

"It's easy to do it in the house. I guess it's just a job change or something, but it's a bit difficult for two people above to kill it together." said the platoon leader under Hao Xiazi.

"Within thirty meters, I can kill the honest one, but what about the other one? If one is cut, the other one will shoot." At this time, the second platoon leader said.

As soon as the second platoon leader spoke, Shang Zhen looked over curiously.

He couldn't figure out what means the second platoon leader had to kill a Japanese sentry within thirty meters.

And what does "being able to be honest" mean? He also said "cut". This "cut" should have the same meaning as the Northeastern people's saying "cut whoever has a meal." How to use "cut" and what kind of attack method is this?

While Shang Zhen was thinking about it, the platoon leader said, "Don't we have that boy's crossbow?"

Um? When the platoon leader said this, not only Shang Zhen was shocked, but also Qingfeng Li and Big Laoban's eyes lit up.

To be precise, that crossbow originally belonged to Qingfeng Li's old Taoist master, so he naturally gave it to Qingfeng Li. However, the string of the crossbow was too laborious to pull. Qingfeng Li didn't use it very much, but the old fool used it more often. .

But when Shang Zhen and the others were captured, the crossbow was confiscated by Hao Xiazi and the others!

Crossbow is a cold weapon. In the era of hot weapons, cold weapons naturally have the advantages of cold weapons. Although it is not powerful, it can kill enemies silently in close combat.

Since Shang Zhen's status among veterans like Hao Xiazi and others has improved, he also asked the soldier who snatched the crossbow from the old man, but the soldier said that he would play for two more days.

As a result, Shang Zhen couldn't say anything else.

But now that Hao Xiazi wants to kill the Japanese sentries quietly, the role of the crossbow has become highlighted.

As long as you use it well, it is obviously more difficult to seal the enemy's sentry's throat with an arrow from forty or fifty meters away than to close the enemy's mouth and wipe his throat!
