Ding Ning thought carefully about the battle plan proposed by Zhou Wu, and felt that although this plan was more risky, and it was not possible to be counter-surrounded by the little devils, but at present, in the absence of an air defense weapon at hand, it was a bit difficult to rely on the Second Regiment and Commander Wang and their men to defend Shen Jiabang.
But now the main force of the column is not completely in place, the first regiment Chen Guofu and they are still destroying the communication line of the devil puppet army on the Jinpu line, and the large army has not yet turned around and turned to the east of the Jinpu line to form a local advantage over the Wang puppet army, so the second regiment can only hold here to prevent this group of devils from the direction of Yangzhou from attacking Shenjiabang.
Zhou Wu immediately ordered Regiment Commander Wang: "You hurry up and take your brothers into the Shen Jiabang position, don't relax the vigilance around the fortifications for a moment, continue to send reconnaissance outside, and get a batch of Wang puppet army uniforms you have saved, one or two hundred sets is enough, we will be useful when we attack, let the old Jiang battalion commander follow us to act, Zhang Ercheng's artillery company is under your command, as long as I can resist the little devil's attack on the Shen Jiabang position, and don't let the devil conquer here before the day after tomorrow, you will have completed the task." ” Commander Wang immediately received the order to go back to prepare, Zhang Ercheng was puzzled: "Brigade seat, our artillery should follow you to attack, why do you want to nest in these fortifications, it's too boring."
"Zhang Ercheng always wanted to follow Zhou Wu and them to attack together, it was not interesting to nest in this kind of fortification.
Zhou Wu glanced at Zhang Ercheng and said to him: "Zhang Ercheng, your artillery is troublesome, although you can dismantle the mortar and take it away, but you can't bring many shells, there is enough ammunition in the fortifications here, the defensive performance is good, you can give full play to the advantages of your artillery, plus in case the little devils attack here on a large scale, the support of your artillery firepower has a great encouraging effect on the officers and soldiers of the puppet army uprising who just threw themselves over anyway, Zhang Ercheng, don't look at you only have a few mortars, but if you fight, the impact is not small." ” Zhang Ercheng listened to Zhou Wu's words, stopped talking, and hurriedly went back to the fortification to arrange the firepower point.
In less than half an hour, Commander Wang sent someone to send Zhou Wu two hundred sets of brand-new Wang puppet army uniforms, all soldiers and officers, and there was also a military flag of Wang puppet army inside, which was similar to the Kuomintang's clear sky and red day, but there was an extra five-color pattern on the corner, and there were several sets of devil uniforms, which were probably obtained by Commander Wang from the Yamamoto squad leader, those devils were killed by the brothers, and their military uniforms could be used.
Zhou Wu hurriedly said to Ding Ning and Ge Sanmin: "Ding Ning, I see that you picked more than 100 brothers with good skills and flexible minds in the second regiment, put on the uniforms of these Wang puppet army, and then pick 40 brothers to pretend to be devils, led by Ding Ning, you set off immediately, find a big road to meet them, and meet the devils to deal with them, Ge Sanmin and I took a thousand brothers to insert from the left and right sides of Shen Jiabang, planning to give the devils a look on the way, you look at my signal, once you find that the devils over there are in trouble, you will start immediately, Be careful not to fight with the devils, just run after a fight, and try to lure the devils to our ambush circle, I just looked at the map carefully, I think a place called Shaziji is very suitable for ambushes at a distance of twenty miles south here, you see that there are undulating hills on both sides of the road in this Shaziji, although the altitude is not so high, only a hundred meters at most, but it is quite enough to conceal our ambush team, Ge Sanmin and I each divided seven or eight hundred brothers to ambush on both sides of this road, The other 200 brothers inserted into the waist of the devil to harass and sneak attack, provoking the devil who was marching towards Shen Jiabang, and then your brothers in disguise suddenly launched a frontal attack on the devil, and at the slightest contact, they evacuated to Shen Jiabang, the devil was attacked by you, he must be annoyed and angry, and chased you towards Shen Jiabang, and when the devil was introduced into our ambush circle in the sand, you quickly turned back on the spot, inserted it from the back butt of the devil's formation, and completely cut off the retreat of the devil who entered the ambush circle.
It doesn't matter how many devils are catching up with you behind, you can intercept as many as you can. ” Zhou Wu's purpose was to lure and attack Ding Ning and Ge Sanmin on three sides, first Ding Ning disguised himself as a devil Wang puppet army and dealt with the devil team coming from front, and he and Ge Sanmin each led a team to harass the middle part of the devil team, so that most of the troops were ambushed at the road where the devils must enter in the dangerous terrain, waiting for the little devils to drill into their pockets.
Political Commissar Niu also immediately agreed with Zhou Wu's plan, thinking that this was a good plan, although I don't know if I can lure those little devils into the ambush circle, but it is definitely better than everyone nesting together in such a small fortification as Shen Jiabang, and the team is mobile and scattered, which can also avoid heavy casualties from the devil planes to bomb.
The young Director Xia completely lost his temper this time, and nodded in agreement with Zhou Wu's initiative to attack and lure the devil's combat deployment, what he is most looking forward to now is to be able to immediately smash this anti-clearance battle, fortunately, he had a good sleep in the rear, and ran back and forth from the Hengtang River, almost breaking his little thin legs.
I slept last night, and I haven't completely recovered yet.
Ding Ning immediately picked a company in Ge Sanmin's second battalion, all of them changed into the military uniforms of the Wang puppet army that he took from Commander Wang, and he put on the military uniform of the captain of the devil Yamamoto squad, and led more than 30 brothers dressed as devils and a company of Wang puppet army brothers to immediately set off from Shen Jiabang and walked in the direction where the devils in front might come.
The brother in front of this team was holding a brand-new Wang puppet army flag, and a brother behind Ding Ning was holding a devil's plaster flag on his bayonet, striding towards the front with great strides.
In this way, Ding Ning took these brothers disguised as devils and puppet soldiers all the way to the south for a distance of about 20 miles, and suddenly a brother in front reported that there was a situation in front, and Ding Ning immediately ordered the brothers behind to immediately stop advancing and prepare for battle.
Ding Ning picked up the telescope left by Captain Yamamoto and looked at the opposite side, only to see a group of devils rushing over in a car, there were seven or eight cars, all of them were full of heavily armed devil soldiers, and behind them was a group of four or five hundred devil infantry, Ding Ning took the telescope and looked carefully, and suddenly he found that there was a team of little devil cavalry behind the car, although there were not many horses, but there were twenty or thirty horses, and those devil soldiers sitting on the horses were carrying horse pistols and sharp sabers, and they were rushing towards this side at a gallop.
The devil cavalry arrived as soon as he spoke, more than 20 horses surrounded Ding Ning and them, and an officer who looked like a ghost cavalry kept looking at Ding Ning and them, and suddenly a sentence of Japanese popped out of his mouth: "Why are you from that unit?"
Of course, Ding Ning understood the words of the devil, and as soon as he heard the question of this devil cavalry officer, he replied in Japanese: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, we are the Takeshita squad sent by the headquarters of the East China Dispatch Army in Nanjing to supervise the Peace Salvation Army, and I am the captain of the Takeshita Takabun team, and I am on the way to Shen Jiabang, and I found a large force of the imperial army, so I am waiting for you halfway." ” Ding Ning's fluent devil words with a slight Yokohama accent frightened the devil cavalry officer for a moment, and the look on his face softened a little, but he still didn't believe Ding Ning very much, and took other devil cavalry to keep circling around Ding Ning and them, trying to find some flaws under Ding Ning.
Ding Ning was quite anxious at this time, like an animal in a zoo, surrounded by more than 20 devil cavalry to watch, he must be seen by these little devils, what should he do It is definitely not possible to do it now, the twenty or so devil cavalry are easy to deal with, but the devil infantry who follow closely behind are not easy to deal with, once the fight starts now, Ding Ning and they will definitely suffer, and they will be exposed early, which will have a fatal impact on Zhou Wu's actions.
At this moment, the devil car on the opposite side drove over, stopped in front of Ding Ning and them with a creak, and a group of devil soldiers with 38 big covers jumped out of the car, and one of them, the devil infantry Shaozuo with a full beard on his face, walked over with an Oriental sword.
He first saluted the cavalry officer on the horse, and then asked, "Fujita-kun, what's the matter, do you suspect that these people are not from the ranks of our imperial army, but those hateful Shina people are pretending?"
Ding Ning heard the words of this devil infantry Shaozuo, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: Could it be that these devils have already seen the flaws in us here, what do the devils suspect about us The devil cavalry Shaozo nodded at the devil infantry Shaozo, said hello, and said to him: "Takeda-kun, come here, I met your fellow Yokohama here, you guys talk quickly, it's not easy to meet fellow countrymen on the battlefield in China." ” As soon as Ding Ning heard that this little devil cavalry officer regarded him as a little Yokohama fellow with a bearded devil officer, could it be that his Japanese accent caused the trouble, he wanted to get away with it, but now that he is a real Yokohama, wouldn't he have to be exposed on the spot Ding Ning had already put his left hand behind his back at this time, and signaled to the brothers next to him, the old Jiang battalion commander was next to Ding Ning, he was still an old man of the puppet army, and when he saw Ding Ning constantly gesturing to him with his left hand, look at the looks of the little devils around him, it is estimated that he is about to go through the gang, and he has to be ready to do it immediately, he also hurriedly signaled to the brothers behind him, hurry up and get ready, and wait to kill those devil officers first. t1706231537:
