Chapter 489 Everyone has their own plans
Yuan Shuai nodded and said.
"If it's an ambush, of course we have to avoid it, but we're only setting up a fake camp this time, not an ambush!"
"No ambush?!"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Since you've already set up a fake camp, why not set up an ambush?
Then wouldn’t this fake camp be in vain?
Yuan Shuai did not answer, but asked instead.
"What is the biggest threat from the devils?"
"Of course it's the 105mm howitzer!"
Tan Guohao answered without hesitation.
They now have experience in dealing with Japanese tanks.
Once you encounter a tank, just fire with lime powder mortars.
Lime powder can burn the eyes and block the periscope of the Japanese tanks. Even if the Japanese inside the tank can put on gas masks in time, they cannot see the situation outside the tank.
At that time, as long as the infantry around the tanks are killed, the tanks will lose the cooperation of the infantry and the tank soldiers will have to retreat.
But the tank commander must stick his head out to command the tank's retreat. As long as the bombardment continues, the shrapnel will kill the tank commander sooner or later.
Once the tank commander died, the remaining Japanese soldiers in the tank had to abandon the tank and climb out to retreat and escape.
Moreover, they now have tanks, and even a lot of 75 field guns and 105 howitzers.
What they fear most now is of course the 105mm howitzer for long-range bombing.
Yuan Shuai said with a smile.
"Although we have 105mm howitzers, we don't have many shells left. We don't have any 105mm shells to replenish. We can only get supplies by killing the devils!"
"You mean to set up a fake camp to attract the devils, and then launch a surprise attack on Zhenlongkou?!"
Someone in the crowd raised a question.
"How is that possible? Even though the Japs are outnumbered now, they will think we are going to attack their Zhenlongkou. And given the location of Zhenlongkou, it is very difficult to sneak in! If we fail, no one will be able to come back!"
"Then stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now!"
Some people hurriedly urged.
Yuan Shuai said with a smile.
"If we set up a fake camp here, the Japanese 105mm howitzers will definitely bomb it! In this way, the Japanese will consume a lot of shells, and they will definitely deploy shells from the back! As long as we intercept them halfway, do we still have to worry about not having shells?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, and then they started laughing happily.
Tan Guohao even gave Yuan Shuai a thumbs up and praised him.
"Great, it's really great! I was just worried about not having any shells. Now that you mentioned it, I have a source of shells! Hahaha, brother Yuan Shuai, your idea is really great! But!"
Tan Guohao put away the smile on his face and said with a worried look.
"What if the Japs don't use 105mm artillery to bomb?"
"If they don't use 105mm howitzers to bomb, can't we use mortars and infantry guns? They're all fake camps anyway, so we can still kill a lot of devils just by using artillery instead of infantry guns!"
"Okay, just do it!"
Tan Guohao gritted his teeth and nodded.
"So what is our Black Tiger Army's mission?"
Zhao Zilong asked anxiously.
"You Black Tigers have done a great job today. Brothers, you are exhausted. After cleaning up the spoils, retreat and rest! We will need your brothers to be the main force when we rob the enemy's baggage train next time!"
Zhao Zilong felt somewhat unwilling after hearing what was said before.
But later when he heard that the Black Tiger Army would be the main force, Zhao Zilong became extremely excited.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and go back to rest first!"...
the other side.
The Japanese brigade commander, Tian Gu Chuanxiong, was so angry that he yelled at several of his subordinates who had retreated back to the camp.
Several team leaders’ faces were beaten blue and purple.
After venting his anger, he looked at the sand table map with a serious expression.
"General, with the tactics used by the New Sixth Army before, they will definitely launch a surprise attack on our artillery position at Zhenlongkou! Because as long as they take Zhenlongkou, they can cover our Sanchalu position and Jiudaowan position with artillery fire!"
A captain whose face was bruised and purple from being beaten quickly raised the question.
Tian Gu Chuanxiong gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Yoshi, they will definitely come and attack us when we are outnumbered, so we must defend our Zhenlongkou! But they killed so many of us today, how many Chinese soldiers can they kill just by defending?"
"They want to launch a surprise attack on us. Not only must we defend ourselves, we must also launch a surprise attack on their camp and take back our howitzers and tanks!"
"They got so many weapons and ammunition this time, they will definitely not be able to get them back in a short time, so they will definitely camp somewhere beyond the maximum range of our howitzers! Notify the Shangshui Brigade to go to bed immediately after dinner and set off at 11 o'clock! Surprise attack on their camp!"...
Time passes quickly.
Zhenlongkou has made sufficient preparations.
There were light and heavy machine gun positions on the four directions of the position.
In order to prevent a surprise attack, all the people in Zhenlongkou stayed up all night. They were ready at their positions, waiting for the New Sixth Army and the Black Tiger Army to launch a surprise attack.
the other side.
After dark, the brothers of the New Sixth Army used the starlight to set up tents and create fake positions.
They replaced the clothes of some of the Japanese soldiers' corpses with their own, sat in a circle on the ground, and used wooden sticks and other things for support.
After some Japanese soldiers changed their clothes, they curled up on the ground wrapped in Japanese blankets.
Radio antennas have been added in some places.
The so-called radio antenna is nothing more than a bamboo pole standing up with some wooden sticks tied to the top to make an antenna for the radio.
Because it was night, the Japanese could not get close to conduct reconnaissance, and they could not tell clearly from a distance whether it was a real antenna or a fake one...
On the mountain more than 2,000 meters behind the fake camp, there are twenty mortars and ten infantry guns hidden.
The Black Tiger Army has withdrawn.
Although the New Sixth Army and the Hongfei Regiment had a large number of mortars and infantry guns, they had limited artillery shells.
After this battle, there is the next battle, and the next battle after that, and we don’t know how many Japanese invaders we will have to fight.
So, they can't use all their artillery and shells here.
What's more, Marshal Yuan said that the Japanese invaders this time were at most a battalion, and some shells would be wasted due to reasons like low accuracy in the middle of the night.
The other soldiers were busy trying to retreat to their previous field artillery positions and prepare for defense.
Although Yuan Shuai estimated that the Japs would not come, he was prepared just in case, which would put him in an invincible position...
At this time, Tan Guohao and Yuan Shuai were already sitting on the Japanese tank, smoking cigarettes.
This is the tank they captured in this battle.
The lime powder on the tank has been cleaned.
Just to prevent the Japanese from suspecting that they were retreating, the tanks did not drive backwards but stayed on the road.
Tan Guohao touched the tank next to his butt and smiled happily.
"General Yuan, I shot down this tank. You can't have any idea of taking my tank!"
