Chapter 183: Wave your hands quickly, we are the devils now, let’s trick the fighter plane away firs
Lin Zhenhua took advantage of this time to interrogate Saburo Matsui. When he learned that the Japanese fighter planes were about to arrive, his face suddenly changed and he immediately ordered the team to stop advancing.
"Zhu Zi, Zhang Dashan, quickly have the soldiers change into the Japanese's clothes, hide those four armored vehicles quickly, and wave the Japanese's plaster flags. In another 20 minutes, the Japanese's fighter planes will be over our heads. What the hell are you still doing? Hurry up and change your clothes!"
Under Lin Zhenhua's urging, it took less than 15 minutes for all the soldiers to change into the Japanese's clothes. The Japanese's brigade flag was raised high and fluttered in the wind. Four armored vehicles were also parked on the side of the road and covered with branches and grass. There was no suspicious look from the sky.
"Let the soldiers imagine themselves as the Japanese. When they encounter the Japanese fighter planes, they must cheer and wave their hands. Whether they can deceive the Japanese's fighting power depends on how convincing the soldiers are."
After arranging everything, Lin Zhenhua began to tinker with the Japanese radio and checked it according to the code book. He quickly sent out a message of victory, hoping to fool the Japanese pilots.
Lieutenant Ono Kazuo, who was flying a Zero fighter, did not return directly after receiving the telegram sent by Lin Zhenhua, but planned to go and confirm the situation in person. He simply replied on the radio and increased the flight speed, shortening the original 15-minute flight to minutes.
Ono Kazuo looked at the neat marching formation below and the imperial flag flying high, and then made a low-altitude pass. Lin Zhenhua immediately asked the soldiers to cheer like the Japanese. Ono Kazuo confirmed that the news was true, so he drove a Zero fighter to other places to continue his patrol mission.
"Reporting to Captain Makino, after my investigation, my imperial army has won the victory and is returning triumphantly. Captain, there is no need for you to come over!"
When Captain Makino heard the report from Ono Kazuo, he didn't feel anything unusual. In fact, the Japanese were having a hard time at that time, and fuel and ammunition were becoming scarce. Since Ono Kazuo had already confirmed it, there was no need for Makino's fighter squadron to rush over for support. It so happened that a new combat mission came at this time, which made Yoshimura's squadron lose its last chance of survival, and their fate was already doomed.
Wang Chengzhu and Zhang Dashan saw that the Japanese fighter planes had left, and were about to have the soldiers take off the Japanese's clothes, but they were stopped by Lin Zhenhua: "Zhuzi, Dashan, can you two use your brains? The Japanese fighter planes have just left and we are changing clothes. What if the Japanese pilots come back and attack us? Wouldn't that mean we are walking into their trap!"
"Hurry up and drive out our four armored vehicles. Next, we will put on a show for the Japanese. We will send out three companies to pretend that the Japanese are fleeing. The armored squad will be responsible for chasing them from behind. The artillery battalion will fire a few more shots on the roads on both sides. It will take another half an hour for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive. At that time, the artillery battalion will launch a wave of artillery fire on the Japanese reinforcements. I will take that Japanese soldier Matsui and pretend to be a fleeing Japanese unit and blend into the Japanese team. What to do next? I don't need to tell you. You two should know it, right?"
Wang Chengzhu always felt that Lin Zhenhua's plan was somewhat unreliable. After all, he felt that the Japanese soldier Matsui Saburo could not be so honest, and it was even more impossible for him to do whatever he was told right after surrendering. He always felt that there was something fishy about it, and wanted to remind Lin Zhenhua, but Lin Zhenhua glared at him fiercely, and he could only hold back what he was about to say.
Lin Zhenhua pulled Matsui Saburo aside and said in a serious tone: "Matsui, since you are very cooperative, I plan to give you a chance to live. As long as you can help me get rid of the Yoshimura Squadron, I will agree to let you go. Just like the method I taught you before, you will definitely be able to get away with it after you return to your side. It is better to live a miserable life than to die. And you can also put all the blame on Shimada. At most, you will be reprimanded. You may even be promoted to a higher rank for bringing back important information. Have you thought about it? The Yoshimura Squadron will encounter us soon. You only have five minutes to consider it!"
Saburo Matsui was having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. Lin Zhenhua was tempting him like a devil. He had a good relationship with Yoshimura on weekdays, and he really didn't want to betray his old comrade. But if he didn't betray him, he would not be able to get out of this quagmire, and even his family in his hometown would be implicated. For the sake of his own future and family, he really could only sacrifice his old friend Yoshimura. Since he had made up his mind, Saburo Matsui no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.
"Matsui, you are very sensible. I am not familiar with your Shimada Brigade. Please take a look at what is wrong with our performance. While there is still time, please point it out to me and we will correct it immediately!"
Under the guidance of Saburo Matsui, the soldiers of the first and second companies acted out the role of retreating Japanese soldiers more and more convincingly. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice anything suspicious.
Then a big drama took place. Under the leadership of Saburo Matsui, Lin Zhenhua led his men to fight and retreat. A lot of bullets were consumed, but no one was injured.
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimura, who was rushing to the battlefield, heard the sound of gunfire in the distance and immediately ordered his troops to speed up. Ten minutes later, he met the embarrassed Saburo Matsui and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Matsui, why didn't you see Colonel Shimada?"
Saburo Matsui took a breath and replied hastily, "We originally planned to continue to hold our position, but then the Chinese army came to reinforce us, so we had to break out in advance. During the breakout, the colonel and I got separated, and we ran out of ammunition, so we had to fight and retreat at the same time!"
"Yoshimura-kun, you lead the others to hold out for a while. I'll go to the back to replenish the ammunition, and then we'll launch a counterattack together!"
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimura didn't think much about it and agreed directly, saying, "Mr. Matsui, go and replenish the ammunition first. I will definitely resist the attack of the Chinese army. After we defeat the Chinese army, we will go find the colonel!"
Saburo Matsui didn't say anything else, and hurriedly led Lin Zhenhua and others to rush towards the ammunition truck. Yoshimura's squadron also reacted quickly, and under the order of Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimura, they immediately launched a counterattack.
Wang Chengzhu saw through the telescope that Lin Zhenhua had successfully mixed into the group of Japanese soldiers, and he knew that victory was in sight this time. He immediately ordered the artillery battalion: "Let go of the Japanese ammunition trucks, and launch a covering bombardment on the Japanese front-line positions. First, send half a base of ammunition. With the sound of artillery as cover, it will be easier for college students to move!"
"Mortar three rapid shots, fire!"
"Two rapid shots from the mountain cannon, fire!"
Zhang Dashan also hurriedly gave up his position. Four armored vehicles slowly drove up from the rear and began to rush towards the Japanese position. The soldiers of the third company followed behind the armored vehicles and launched an attack together. The soldiers of the fourth company were responsible for protecting the safety of the artillery battalion.
The combat effectiveness of Yoshimura's squadron was not weak. Facing such fierce firepower, they fought back and forth with Zhang Dashan, and the battle fell into a stalemate for a while.
Lin Zhenhua and his men had completed the ammunition supply. He signaled with his eyes that the first company would be responsible for the left wing and the second company would be responsible for the right wing. Amid Lin Zhenhua's roar, they suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese from the rear. Many Japanese soldiers were shot through the body before they could react and closed their eyes in pain.
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimura saw the situation behind him and could not help but shout angrily, "Matsui, you bastard, you actually betrayed the empire, I must kill you! Counterattack quickly! Counterattack quickly!"
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshimura commanded some of the Japanese to immediately adjust their direction and start counterattacking, but Lin Zhenhua had already been prepared for this move. He had previously concentrated all the pistols of two battalions, and each soldier of the first and second companies was equipped with one. At such a close distance, the pistols could be used as submachine guns, and the mirror box was very useful at this time.
Without Lin Zhenhua's reminder, the soldiers of the first and second companies had already taken out their mirrored boxes and fired continuously at the close-range devils. The light machine guns were responsible for suppressing the devils' firepower. The armored squad also took the opportunity to rush up. After more than ten minutes of fighting, all the devils were wiped out. This battle not only wiped out a squadron of devils, but also seized a large number of weapons and ammunition. More importantly, the Xiaozhangzhuang stronghold is now guarded by only a squadron of devils. If they move faster, they can take the stronghold before four o'clock this afternoon!
"Companies 1, 2 and 3 are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. The armored squad will stay behind. Company 3 and the artillery battalion will follow me to attack the Xiaozhang Village stronghold. We will have dinner in the Xiaozhang Village stronghold tonight. Wang Chengzhu will take the artillery battalion and follow me. Zhang Dashan, you stay here and wait to meet up with the regiment commander!"
Lin Zhenhua made simple arrangements and led the team to the Xiaozhangzhuang stronghold. This time, Lin Zhenhua did not intend to trick the door of the stronghold open because the possibility of success was too low. The Japanese were not fools and would not be fooled a second time.
This time he planned to teach the Japanese a good lesson and let them know that the Independent Regiment was not to be trifled with, so that the Japanese would not be obsessed with the Independent Regiment day after day and he would not dare to pull back even half of the division's equipment. He wanted to use this opportunity to attack the stronghold openly and honestly to establish the prestige of the Independent Regiment!
"Zhu Zi, use the cannons to attack hard. Use all our pepper and lime bullets. These two types of shells were not very effective before, but if we use them to attack the enemy's strongholds, they can have a miraculous effect!"
"Before, you kept yelling at me, saying that the soldiers had too few opportunities to fire live ammunition. Today, I'm going to give you a chance to fire live ammunition. Destroy all the buildings above Xiaozhang Village, including those six tough bunkers. If the shells can't blow them up, use them. Use the unscrupulous cannons to shock the Japs inside to death. This time, I'm going to use the ammunition to pile up the Japs to death without hurting any of our independent regiment, and have a zero-casualty battle!"
