Under the night sky, in the dilapidated courtyard of Nanzhuang Village, the platoon leaders of the county brigade had all arrived and sat together.
Yang Chen hung a map he had taken from the Japanese on the wall.
He looked around and picked up a branch from the ground.
"Captain, are you going to attack Wan Family Town?”First Platoon Leader Gao Jin and Fourth Platoon Leader Sun Xiu said in unison.
Wan Jia Town was marked on the map. These two people were from the regular army. They could see through Yang Chen's thoughts at a glance.
Yang Chen nodded and pointed at Wan Jia Town on the map with a tree branch,""I've decided to destroy the puppet cavalry battalion of Wan Jia Town!”
Wan Jia Town was guarded by the cavalry battalion of the 8th mixed regiment of the Imperial Association Army. There were more than 300 people, and their weapons and equipment were very good.
Through Yang Chen's repeated investigations with the 5th Platoon, this cavalry battalion should have been formed not long ago.
They were equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns, the light machine guns of the Soviet Republic, the VZ24 rifles of the Soviet Republic, and horses.
The Japanese had invested a lot of money into this puppet cavalry, and their intentions were self-evident.
The cage had pillars, chains, and locks. These cavalrymen could act as scythes and quickly harvest the lives of the resistance troops.
If this puppet cavalry unit were to become a fighting force, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"You guys don't know, but these idiots are actually equipped with a Ma Si Huan rifle.”
Thinking of the equipment of the puppet cavalry, Monk Wei couldn't help but mutter.
The VZ24 rifle was quite good. It had a short body, high accuracy, and great power. If it hit the target, it would either die or be crippled. Because there were two sets of iron rings on the bottom and side of the gun for cavalry to use, it was called the Masihuan rifle in China.
The Japanese's Type 38 precision rifle was very high, but its lethality was not strong. For the well-trained and experienced Japanese, the Type 38 rifle was a sharp weapon. Their accuracy was very high, and they could directly hit the vital points.
However, for the county brigade, which had many new recruits, it was obviously not suitable for them to be fully equipped with Type 38 rifles.
As for the Japanese's light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns, Yang Chen was even more confused.
These weapons were not bad, but they required long-term training to bring out their best performance.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the weapons and equipment of the puppet cavalry were highly sought after by Yang Chen.
Of course, the most important thing was the warhorses of the puppet army.
In these few battles, Yang Chen clearly felt that the mobility of the troops was very poor.
It was just a small fight now. If it was a large-scale battle in the future, it would be easy to suffer losses. After all, the Japanese had enough vehicles to maintain mobility.
If the warhorses of the puppet army were seized, the county brigade would all be able to ride horses, and their mobility would naturally be improved.
And with the county brigade's current capabilities, warhorses were the best way to maneuver.
As for cars, firstly, there were no cars. Secondly, there was no one to drive. Thirdly, there were fuel, roads, repairs, and other problems.
"Captain, tell us how to fight. We'll listen to you.”Third Platoon Leader Hu Dali said impatiently.
In general, the county unit's weapons and equipment were not bad. After training, their morale was high and they wanted to fight.
Yang Chen pointed at the map with a tree branch and began to make detailed arrangements.
The team had just completed their expansion and had started training. Yang Chen wanted to test the team's combat effectiveness through combat.
Fighting with the newly established puppet cavalry battalion was obviously the most suitable choice.
After the deployment, the five platoon leaders returned to make preparations.
Yang Chen glanced at the Yang Village Independent Regiment and said,""Old Li, I'm sorry. I made the first move.”
In this era, because there were no street lamps, it was dark everywhere at night.
Under the cover of the night, the county unit quickly moved.
The thousands of soldiers from the 4th Brigade had yet to return to their base because they were cooperating with the special agent team. This area was still very safe.
The team moved very quickly. At around three in the morning, they arrived at the periphery of Wan Jia Town.
Yang Chen raised his binoculars and observed for a while. He called a few platoon leaders over and gave the order again.
1. Gao Jin in the first row and Zhou Baoguo in the second row will be the main attackers. They will attack from the south of Wan Jia Town.
2. Sun Xiu's fourth platoon, set up an artillery position on the nearby high ground to cover the main attack.
3. Monk Wei's fifth row, advance stealthily from the north of Wan Jia Town. Once the battle begins, push forward from the north with all your might.
4. Hu Dali, third row, as the reserve team.
After the order was given, the platoon leaders went back to prepare.
As the captain, Yang Chen was supposed to be the commander, but he chose to lead the 5th Platoon.
Gao Jin would command the first and second platoons in the main attack.
This time, the county unit didn't have much of an advantage. Yang Chen's real trump card was in the fifth row.
The platoons started to move, and they gradually advanced toward Wan Clan Town.
After all, the puppet troops here had just been formed, and they were not very vigilant.
When the main attack force was less than 100 meters away from Wan Jia Town, the artillery positions that had been set up began to fire.
Yang Chen had a detailed understanding of the situation of the puppet army in Wanjia Town through the cannon mirror and had measured various coordinates in advance.
Sun Xiu took the map given by Yang Chen and fired the cannons according to the coordinates on it.
Two 65mm mountain cannons, two 81mm mortars, and two 82mm mortars began to test fire.
Grenades flew toward Wan Jia Town, and explosions sounded.
Sun Xiu observed the impact point through the cannon scope. After adjusting it, the six cannons began to fire.
As if they had eyes, the cannonballs accurately landed on the puppet army camp.
A huge explosion sounded, and the puppet army camp was instantly engulfed in smoke.
Many of the puppet soldiers were killed in the explosion while they were asleep. The rest of the puppet soldiers who had reacted hurriedly grabbed their weapons and ran outside.
The puppet soldiers guarding the wall of Wan Family Town also woke up. They held their weapons and looked ahead warily.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The six cannons fired separately. Two mountain cannons focused on the barracks, while the four mortars bombarded the earthen wall. Scorching heat waves spread in all directions, and the shrapnel quickly became useless. The puppet army's casualties continued to increase.
Ten minutes later, the cannons began to fire. The first and second rows of dozens of people launched a fierce attack from the front.
The machine guns began to suppress and fire, and the squads took turns to cover as they advanced quickly.
The platoon leader with the Garand rifle fired accurately, killing the puppet soldiers on the spot.
