"Of course!"
Zhou Weiguo nodded and said solemnly. Then, he pointed at the map and said,"The Wang Family Town is a basin, and although it is surrounded by mountains and dense trees, it is easy for the troops to get close.”。
"Old Zhu, look, the weather is good. It's sunny and cloudless. The weather in Wang Town was probably similar to Clear Wind Camp. With so many of us approaching the Wangjia Town Basin in broad daylight, it would be very difficult. It would be very easy for the Japanese to find us. Therefore, we can only act at night."
Pausing for a moment, Zhou Weiguo continued his analysis,""Although the Laiyang area is quite far from Quancheng, the 12th army has an airport in Quancheng. They can send out their bomber and fighter planes to attack at any time. If we march during the day, we will be easily discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes. Brothers, do you understand?"
Zhu Ziming, Sun Fugui, Zhao Shoutian, and the others nodded.
To be honest, they had seen Japanese fighter jets a few times in the sky above Lu Province.
The bandits of Clear Wind Camp, no, the brothers of the independent battalion were not ignorant.
Even Zhu Ziming understood the threat of the Japanese fighter jets in the air. Once the Japanese fighter jets discovered people on the ground, they would fire and bomb at a low altitude at any time.
As someone who had previously taken in some of the defeated Lu soldiers who could not resist the Japanese's attack, Zhu Ziming had some understanding of the threat of the Japanese's fighter aircraft.
Seeing this, Zhou Weiguo continued," Considering that the Japanese fighter jets may be deployed at any time, it is impossible to attack Wangjia Town during the day. The devils gathered in Wangjia Town must have a radio station to keep in touch with the outside world. Therefore, we can only act at night.”。
"Hey!"
When Zhu Ziming heard this, he was a little annoyed and said,"If we had our own fighter aircraft to cover us, we could set off now and rush to Wangjia Town to attack the devils. It's only ten in the morning. If Battalion Commander's old classmate returns to Wang Town, wouldn't it be a surprise?”。
"It depends on the situation! We can't attack Wangjia Town in the daytime. The Japanese can easily send out a few fighter jets to suppress us. Unless, we enter Wangjia Town and engage in close combat with the Japanese.”
Zhou Weiguo shook his head. The Japanese were not only cruel to us, but they were also sometimes cruel to their own people. Without the cover of fighter jets, we can't move during the day.”。
"However, from now on, brothers, seize the time to train. Rest in the afternoon and rest up. Half an hour before nightfall, they would immediately march towards Wang Town.”
When Zhu Ziming and the others heard this, they stood up straight and saluted,"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
After Shoutian Zhao and the other company commanders left, Zhu Ziming walked up to Zhou Weiguo and said,""Battalion Commander, what about Clear Wind Camp? How many people are left behind in my hometown?"
Zhou Weiguo pondered for a while. Clear Wind Camp was still the first base of the independent camp.
There was no possibility of giving up in a short period of time. After all, Clear Wind Camp was also a treasure land with steep terrain. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Putting aside the fact that one man could hold off ten thousand men, Clear Wind Camp was the closest place to the Wang Family Town.
Only when they could no longer hold on in Clear Wind Camp would they give up on Clear Wind Camp and retreat.
If they attacked at night, there would definitely be people left behind to guard the place.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Weiguo said to Zhu Ziming,"Old Zhu, I think we can just leave some of our old brothers and some of the new recruits with weak combat strength to watch over Clear Wind Camp. What do you think? Just leave a hundred people! He also left a few light and heavy machine guns behind.”。
"Alright! This is safe!"
Zhu Ziming nodded his head. Zhou Weiguo had indeed thought things through. Under Zhou Weiguo's leadership, Clear Wind Camp's old brothers would definitely grow and develop.
"Alright, Old Zhu, you'll have to work hard. Get ready!”
Zhu Ziming chuckled." Yes, Battalion Commander!”
Zhou Weiguo looked at the calendar as he watched Zhu Ziming leave.
It was already August 13th!
......
Two flowers bloomed, each showing a branch!
Just as Zhou Weiguo was preparing to attack Wang Town on the night of August 13th…
In the early morning, when he learned that the Laiyang Armory had been destroyed by the enemy and that his uncle Fujiki Taro had been killed in an explosion, Takeshita Shunshi immediately took his special forces back to Laiyang County City in a jeep.
At this time, it was past ten in the morning, almost an hour after Zhou Weiguo and the others had their meeting.
Takeshita saw Fujiki Taro, the last shoe left by his uncle, who had been blown to pieces.
Takeshita Jun had specially brought the shoes to Fujiki Taro after he returned from studying abroad.
Now, he could only remember Fujiki Taro, his closest uncle, from the sole shoe he had left.
"Uncle!"
Takeshita put down his blood-stained shoes and gritted his teeth in a trembling voice.
Keibun and Mizutani Taiichi, the new chief of staff of the exploration team, did not say anything, but Takeshita quickly calmed down.
"Takeshita Sang, my condolences!"
He patted Takeshita on the shoulder and gestured for him to sit down before continuing,""Your uncle sacrificed himself for the empire. The empire will never forget his contributions, and neither will I.”。
"Thank you, General!"
Takeshita stood straight and kowtowed heavily.
Then, under the gaze of the chief of staff of the exploration team, Mizutani Taiichi, he sat down.
"General! The armory was destroyed by the enemy. The first thing I did when I returned to Laiyang County was to check out the scene!”
"I discovered that there are fragments of a time bomb in the arsenal county." It was estimated that the enemy had sent people to place time bombs in the critical warehouses that stored ammunition, bullets, grenades, and other types of ammunition. The power of the time bomb was very strong, enough to cause the shells, grenades, and other ammunition in the warehouse to explode.”。
"Time bomb?" Keimei and Mizutani Taiichi were both surprised.
Among them, the guard's expression quickly turned serious.
To be able to obtain a time bomb and infiltrate Laiyang County to carry out a sabotage operation, the opponent was definitely an expert.
"Yes, the other party used a time bomb." Takeshita nodded. Otherwise, they would not have been able to retreat in time with just simple explosives. Unfortunately, the 400 imperial soldiers guarding the arsenal were all killed by the explosion. Otherwise, if there were witnesses, we might have some clues.”。
After Takeshita finished speaking, Keibun and Mizutani Taiichi looked at each other helplessly.
The Japanese soldiers guarding the armory were all killed by the huge explosion. Even if they managed to rescue a few alive Japanese soldiers, they were all sentenced to death in less than half an hour.
One could imagine that the huge power of the explosion of the arsenal did not only devour more than 400 Japanese soldiers guarding the arsenal.
Moreover, the clues were cut off because none of them were alive.
Moreover, the few soldiers who were still alive were already speechless.
It was almost impossible to find any clues to determine the enemy's strength by relying on the few dying Japanese soldiers.
At this point, Keibun said to Takeshita,""Takeshita Sang, your uncle's corpse is nowhere to be found. All that's left is this shoe that represents your uncle's existence. Pack up your uncle's things and send them back to his family!”。
"It's good to make a cenotaph!”
Takeshita stood up and kowtowed,"" Yes, General!"
However, Takeshita seemed to have thought of something." General, what about the Imperial Army troops in Wangjia Town?”
"I will let the infantry captain lead the attack on Clear Wind Camp. You should deal with your uncle's funeral first!”
The guard said seriously.
"Yes, General!"
However, the direction of Wang Town had changed.
......
Time passed quickly!
At 7 PM on the 13th of August, when it was completely dark, Zhou Weiguo immediately led a battalion of over 500 people with weapons, equipment, and ammunition. Under the cover of the night, they used the small path on the side of Clear Wind Stronghold to bypass the possible surveillance of the devils at the foot of the mountain. They directly led the army towards Wang Town.
After a full 40 minutes of rapid marching, Zhou Weiguo and the rest led the Independent Battalion soldiers to the vicinity of Wang Family Town. They would meet up with Liu San and the rest, who had set off a few hours earlier for their reconnaissance mission.
Liu San had led the Snow Leopard Special Forces to scout the Wang Family Town for at least three hours. They had basically figured out the situation there.
After the meeting, Liu San personally reported the situation to Zhou Weiguo.""Battalion Commander, there are hidden sentries deployed by the Japanese on the high ground of the mountains around the Wangjia Town Basin! We were almost discovered before you came.”。
