Chapter 145 Preparing for a Night Raid
After more than an hour, Gu Changfeng was finally happy.
Waving his fists, he said excitedly: "Damn it, the cannon is still effective. Now the Japs don't dare to act so arrogantly!"
Although dispersed artillery fire is not as effective as concentrated fire, facing this kind of battlefield, it is enough to destroy the Japanese artillery positions. What does it matter if a few shells are wasted?
"Hey! Changfeng, do you have any way to get some heavy artillery?"
Gu Changfeng's words reminded Zhao Ziqing.
Gu Changfeng paused his smile, turned to look at Zhao Ziqing and said.
"Why do you ask that suddenly?"
Although everyone is familiar with his secrets and has guesses about them, revealing them and guessing are two different concepts.
He was afraid that Zhao Ziqing might ask something or find out something, which would make it difficult for him to deal with it.
The system would not be exposed if it could be kept secret, and he was not afraid of everyone's speculation.
Zhao Ziqing said suspiciously, "I'm just asking the forces behind you if they can get some heavy artillery. Why are you so nervous?"
He really didn't think that much about it, he just wanted to ask this.
As for what secrets Gu Changfeng had, he was not interested.
Gu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment and said, "The heavy artillery is no problem. It will probably be available soon. We have to wait and see when it will arrive!"
He had been thinking about this before, and since Zhao Ziqing asked, he just said it out loud.
"Really." Zhao Ziqing suddenly raised his voice and didn't ask about Gu Changfeng's nervousness just now.
"What caliber? How many?"
Zhao Ziqing was very anxious, but he was constantly suppressed by the Japanese heavy artillery and his fighting was not effective at all, which was meaningless.
"I don't know the exact amount, but the information is that it's over 120mm, but the quantity is still unclear."
Gu Changfeng hasn't looked at them in detail yet, so how does he know what to choose?
"Don't you have a 200 caliber?"
Zhao Ziqing was a little disappointed. He felt that if he wanted to restrict the Japanese artillery regiment, it would be best to have one with a caliber of 200 or above.
Gu Changfeng waved his hand and said, "We'll see when the time comes. I just received some news, but I don't know what it is."
He thought that he would make mistakes if he talked too much, so he decided to wait until he made his choice.
"Commander Gu, the special forces sent a message saying that there are Japanese troops stationed at various intersections. Their main force cannot pass through and has retreated."
The signalman reported.
"What else did you say?" Gu Changfeng asked.
It didn't matter that the special forces operation failed, since he had already decided to find time to go out and get some heavy artillery.
But he was somewhat unwilling to retreat like this.
The signalman shook his head.
Gu Changfeng turned to look at Zhao Ziqing and asked, "What time is it now?"
"8 point."
Zhao Ziqing took out the pocket watch he bought when he was studying abroad and looked at it.
Gu Changfeng tapped the table lightly with his fingers, lost in thought.
The Japanese regiment was not far from them. Instead, the brigade headquarters was stationed in Tuqiao Town, while the division headquarters and the main force remained in Shishi Town.
Of course, this information was also passed on by Wang Yaowu, otherwise he would not have so many sources of information.
Seeing that Gu Changfeng had been silent, Zhao Ziqing couldn't help but ask.
"Changfeng, what do you want to do?"
"Destroy the Japanese regiment in front of us." Gu Changfeng said seriously.
Zhao Ziqing asked happily, "How to eliminate them? Special forces?"
This is not difficult to guess. Gu Changfeng has been silent since he heard the news about the special forces. He must be planning to send out the special forces!
Gu Changfeng nodded gently: "The Japs haven't made any movement, so I guess they won't fight for the time being, but we can't stop fighting."
"I want the bazooka platoon to cooperate with the special forces team and launch a surprise attack."
"We will be responsible for attracting fire from the front and launching a night raid."
Zhao Ziqing laughed and said, "It's time to deploy the bazooka. What hidden cards are you hiding? Let's go and discuss this with Captain Ji."
Even Gu Changfeng found this defensive battle boring, let alone him.
"Are you looking for me?" Ji Hongru suddenly walked over with a smile.
After he arranged for everyone to eat, he ran back to see what Gu Changfeng was thinking next.
"Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear." Zhao Ziqing was very happy.
"Captain Ji, let me explain to you, we are planning a night raid on the Japanese regiment and we need your cooperation."
Ji Hongru's smile faded, and he said with a wry laugh, "Is this how all you young people fight?"
It was another proactive attack. For a captain like him who was used to defense, this kind of battle was very helpless.
Zhao Ziqing laughed and said:
"When we attacked Qingpu and Changshu, we always took the initiative."
"If not, where did we get all these devil's equipment?"
"Really? Captain Ji, haha!"
Knowing that they would raid the Japanese regiment at night, he was in a very happy mood and did not take Ji Hongru's words to heart.
Ji Hongru shook his head and said, "Since the master told me to listen to Changfeng, tell me how we can cooperate."
The losses under his command in the daytime battle were not too bad, and now the morale of the soldiers is high, so it is not impossible to fight another one at night.
It's just that he himself is not used to the fighting style of Gu Changfeng's troops.
"There's nothing else. My unit will be responsible for the main attack. You need to take a detour and attack from the right. Just don't let the main force of the Japanese escape."
Gu Changfeng said lightly.
"So simple?" Ji Hongru asked in surprise.
Gu Changfeng said: "It's that simple!"
In fact, he didn't need the 301st Regiment to do anything, even though it lost nearly 300 people today.
But the loss of firepower was not great, especially with the special forces and bazookas present.
Faced with nearly half of the Japanese regiment being wiped out, a quick victory is not impossible.
"Okay! Let's arrange it this way." Ji Hongru agreed directly.
This was a very simple matter and there was no pressure at all for his 301st Regiment.
"Then get ready!" Gu Changfeng said, and ordered the communications soldier.
"Have the special forces team first move to the vicinity of the Japanese regiment, try not to alert the Japanese, and wait for orders."
The order was given and soon all departments began to take action.
The special forces team was waiting at the spot. After receiving the news, they immediately reported it to Xiaowu.
Xiao Wu smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Gu is ready to destroy this regiment of the Japanese. Let's set off as well."
They were still on the mountain at this time. They had been running for several hours but had accomplished nothing. They were feeling depressed when the order came.
"We failed to capture the Japanese artillery regiment, but it would be nice to capture the Japanese regiment."
Liu Dazhuang spoke.
"The main reason is that there are too many Japanese guards everywhere. If we take action, the Japanese will get the news quickly. Otherwise, it is more cost-effective to attack the Japanese artillery regiment."
Li Jie said helplessly.
Liu Dazhuang said indifferently: "Who cares? Changfeng will always find a way. Let's defeat this regiment first!"
They aimed at the Yagi Regiment that was attacking Huxiu, but the Japanese Yoshizumi Ryosuke was in trouble.
The Japanese 9th Division has always had outstanding military achievements, but now it is stuck in the small place of Huxiu. It is a great irony.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, since the Huxu defenders are difficult to defeat, why don't we attack from other locations?"
The operations staff said nervously.
The earlier battle report made Yoshizumi Ryosuke, who was always known for his elegance, very angry.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment and said.
"It's not impossible to attack Chunhua Town directly from Tuqiao Town, but as long as the Hushu Town garrison is still there, our warriors will always be threatened."
Yesterday and today, his 9th Division suffered losses exceeding two battalions and more than a dozen tanks.
This is also the reason why he was extremely angry. His 9th Division was strong in soldiers and horses and well-equipped with ammunition. When did he ever need to suffer such humiliation?
