Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 286 The Power of High Explosives

Boom boom boom!

As the Japanese convoy advanced, the demolition experts finally took action. After searching for a long time, they still did not find any Japanese baggage. If they did not take action, the Japanese convoy would be gone.

It was also because Mizukawa Kita was cautious that the baggage was not concentrated in any one area, but was scattered throughout the convoy, which led to the scouts not discovering it.

Moreover, it was night, which made it more difficult for the scouts.

Otherwise, with the explosives on the road, the baggage they brought with them would basically be destroyed, and they would naturally not be able to continue the battle.

As the explosives were detonated one after another, violent explosions continued.

The thirty or forty vehicles following behind were in bad luck. A large number of Japanese soldiers in the vehicles were killed by the explosion and shock, and it seemed that most of them were dead.

"Bakayarō," Mizukawa Kita's face flushed with anger.

But at this moment he felt a sense of relief. It was only a few hundred meters away, and he would be in Aunt Amaterasu's arms in advance. How could he not be relieved?

"Your Excellency, these Chinese..."

Ohashi Kangmei couldn't continue his words at this point. He also felt fortunate that both of them were at the back of the convoy and almost died in the accident.

And it is a true death of honor. With the power of these explosives, they can cut him into pieces.

"Report to the brigade commander, those Chinese have retreated." The Japanese captain responsible for blocking the special forces walked to Mizukawa Kita's car to report.

It was pitch dark, so he didn't choose to chase.

Another thing was that the convoy behind him was in a mess, which made him feel a little afraid.

Fortunately, Mizukawa Kita did not blame him. He waved his hand and let him leave.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, should we find a place to camp and continue the battle tomorrow?"

At this time, Ohashi Kangmei didn't dare to say that he would attack immediately. He was obviously very scared.

"Reporting to the division commander, requesting guidance on the next course of action."

The clever Mizukawa Kita gave the choice to the division commander. He didn't want to fight in the first place, and he didn't want to take responsibility.

"Hi!" Daqiao Kangmei's voice was still a little shaky, like a frightened little quail, and his legs were still a little unsteady when he walked.

Soon, news came back from Inaba Shiro.

The order was to retreat to Boye City and wait until dawn to continue the attack.

Thirty or forty vehicles, more than a thousand devils and a small amount of baggage were killed and destroyed. At this time, Shiro Inaba did not dare to say that he would attack overnight.

He planned to wait for dawn, and then with the cooperation of the flying squadron, he would take down the Laiyuan Independent Regiment in one fell swoop.

From ignoring it before to launching a war in advance now, it can be seen how angry Inaba Shiro is.

.........

"Report to Commander Gu, the special forces have sent news that the Japanese soldiers from Baoding have evacuated to Boye City for rest and recuperation." Wu Mazi said as he approached.

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "It seems that the special forces have exceeded their mission, so there is no need to worry tonight."

"Send a telegram and ask Lao Luo and the others to go to Ding County to meet up and have some fun with the Japanese in Ding County tomorrow."

He had just noticed that the points had risen again, and it was obvious that the special forces had caused great losses to the Japanese.

"Yes,"

Wu Mazi was about to turn around and inform them when Gu Changfeng suddenly said, "Oh, right, send a telegram to the special forces and ask them to find an opportunity to see if they can strike the Japanese again."

Wu Mazi nodded. He had been worried about the simplicity of the fortifications, but now there was no problem.

By tomorrow we will have 8 German heavy artillery pieces and 10 Katyusha guns. If the Japanese dare to come, they will definitely be in trouble.

How does it feel to capture more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers in one wave?

"Lao Lu, come here," Gu Changfeng called out.

Since he had moved his position, he had another idea at this time. These heavy artillery must not be able to enter the city.

If the Japanese find out and are on guard, tomorrow's battle will be no fun.

When Lu Daya heard Gu Changfeng calling him, he immediately ran over from the front and asked, "Commander Gu, what are your arrangements?"

Gu Changfeng said directly: "The Japanese will not fight today. Let's take a detour to the vicinity of Gaomen Village and give them a surprise tomorrow."

Gaomen Village is not far from Ding County. After calculating the distance tonight, we can take advantage of the enemy's attack tomorrow to strike them hard.

Lu Daya said happily: "It seems that the Japs are also afraid, which just gives us time."

Gu Changfeng said: "Okay, since there is no problem here, I will go back to Lingyun Mountain to prepare. They sent a batch of anti-aircraft guns over."

He knew very well what the Japanese were thinking. If he didn't attack tonight, there would definitely be a Japanese flying squadron bombing him tomorrow.

Now that he had the points, he didn't want to sacrifice more soldiers' lives. Anyway, his subordinates like Lu Daya were used to it, so he was not afraid of people knowing.

Lu Daya really didn't take it seriously and said cheerfully, "Then go quickly. I'll have Old Wu come find you after we've finished setting up."

Gu Changfeng gave a few more instructions and then left.

An hour later, he arrived at the grove west of Lingyun Mountain and exchanged for 10 anti-aircraft guns again.

The special forces team caused a lot of damage to the Japanese in one attack. There were more than a thousand heads in the convoy alone, as well as the Japanese Iron Turtle, snipers, and heavy machine gunners, and they earned more than 5,000 points.

In other words, the special forces took away more than a thousand Japanese devils in this ambush, and the results were indeed good.

Of course, the main credit goes to the large amount of explosives. All the explosives loaded on the Japanese train were returned to them by the special forces, so the Japanese's hard work was not in vain.

At two o'clock in the morning, several battalions in Chenjiagou arrived in Dingxian and continued to set up defensive fortifications.

At three o'clock in the morning, the artillery positions were set up.

At five o'clock in the morning, anti-aircraft guns were secretly transported into the county town.

Everything is ready.

It is worth mentioning that the special forces, led by Zhao Ziqing, sneaked into Boye County and caused a lot of trouble, causing hundreds of casualties to the Japanese and burning some supplies.

The Japanese were so frightened that they had little rest the whole night.

The brigade commander Mizukawa Kita was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

The special forces operation has some advantages. After secretly killing the Japanese patrol, they directly burn their supplies.

The Japanese soldiers couldn't tell who was who.

Zhao Ziqing was quite cunning. When he encountered a small group of Japanese soldiers, he would just use his knife. When he encountered a large group of people, he would use grenades and submachine guns. The Japanese soldiers were no match for him at all, so it was normal for him to feel frustrated.

That night, the whole Boye County was bustling with activity. The people were so frightened that they hid in their homes and dared not come out. The Japanese reacted and began to search for the special forces in groups.

The result was obvious. Not a single hair was found. The special forces team seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

With Zhao Ziqing's experience, there was no way he could let the Japanese soldiers find him. Having achieved his goal, he led his team members and climbed over the west wall.

As for the devils on the city wall,

Haha, they were replaced by special forces personnel as early as the operation began.

The Japanese couldn't think of it, and Mizukawa Kita naturally couldn't think of it either.

However, after these two waves of attacks, he vaguely felt that the other side had a special forces team.

The characteristics are too obvious.

Not to mention other places, even in Taiyuan City, the commander has such a team under his command, but the time has not come to mobilize it yet.
