Chapter 499: Sneak Attack
At noon, the team that went out for reconnaissance had returned.
The information received by all the scouts was consistent, that is, the Japanese supply convoy was indeed heading here.
Moreover, some of the vehicles were not covered with tarpaulins, and ammunition boxes and food bags could be clearly seen inside the carriages.
In addition, along the way, apart from the baggage squadron of more than 180 people responsible for escorting, there were no other troops traveling together.
Yuan Shuai and others were busy all night, and after coming back to eat, they went to bed and rest.
Inside the meeting hall of the Black Tiger Village, there were only some people from the Black Tiger Army.
After hearing the report, almost everyone suggested taking quick action to capture the Japanese supply train.
Because they have tasted the sweetness of robbery now.
This time when they looted the county town, they brought back a lot of weapons, ammunition and food.
Including the ambush of the Yuxiang League, the weapons and ammunition brought back this time are enough for them to equip an entire regiment.
Besides, these are supplies for the Tanaya Brigade.
If we can take it, let alone equip an entire brigade, we should be able to equip at least half a brigade.
They already have plenty of weapons, but they also want to continue to grow and develop the team.
What's more, training requires ammunition, and fighting the Japanese also requires ammunition.
In this war era, who would complain about having too much ammunition?
However, Zhao Dalei stretched out his hand to stop the crowd's shrill voices and said.
"Everyone, I, Zhao, also want to get more weapons and ammunition, but think about it, doesn't Yuan Shuai want to?"
"But why did General Yuan say that this was a plan of the devils? Can't you think about it carefully?"
"General Yuan has never lost a battle. He almost always wins. Why is that?"
Everyone looked at each other in silence, and then shook their heads.
Zhao Dalei glanced around at all his men and said.
"I don't know why, but I know one thing. Every time he takes action, he will think about many problems and analyze the success rate and consequences of the battle plan! The reason why he doesn't recommend us to attack the Japanese baggage train is because the success rate is not high and the risk is too great. Once it fails, the consequences will be very serious!"
After saying that, he turned and looked at his father.
My father nodded silently.
"Da Lei is right. First of all, this operation is too dangerous. Even though the Japanese only have a baggage squadron with less than 200 people, don't forget that the Japanese have tanks, cannons, and airplanes. If the Japanese use airplanes directly, how many of our people can come back alive?"
"Besides, we have more than enough weapons and ammunition in the Black Tiger Village at the moment! There's no need to take risks!"
"..."
After hearing this, no one said anything. Dou Jiande opened his mouth to say something, but Xiao Liangcai pulled him by his clothes, telling him to shut up.
Leaving the meeting hall and walking to a deserted place, Dou Jiande muttered in a low voice in dissatisfaction.
"Captain, why did you try to stop me? This is such a great opportunity!"
"Their Black Tiger Village has more and more soldiers, and now they have almost 5,000 to 6,000 troops. But now they only recognize General Yuan and don't accept our suggestions at all. If we don't make some achievements, how can we get them to follow us to fight the Japanese in the future!"
Xiao Liangcai's face was solemn, but he was unable to refute.
Originally, they went to the Black Tiger Camp with the intention of making the Black Tiger Army their own.
But now, in the hearts of the entire Black Tiger Army, Yuan Shuai is like a god of war.
Even Zhao Dalei wanted to bring Zhao Ying'er and Yuan Shuai together.
Once Yuan Shuai really becomes the son-in-law of the Black Tiger Camp, the Black Tiger Army will become the Black Wolf Army.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a long breath, looked at Dou Jiande, and asked.
"Then what do you want to do? We can't just attack the enemy's baggage train with just our few men, right? Don't forget that the old men, child soldiers and female soldiers in our team were all trained by Yuan Shuai. If they knew about our actions, they would definitely inform Yuan Shuai immediately. We haven't even come down the mountain yet, and they probably know about it. How can we act!"
"This is easy. We just need to act at night, without notifying them, and only use our own people. By the time they find out, we will have already run away!"
"But what if this is really the devil's plan to lure us into a surprise attack on his baggage train?"
"Old Xiao, why are you always so afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind? If you are afraid, you can stay here and I will take the others with me, okay?"
Xiao Liangcai gritted his teeth and said nothing.
At this time, a signalman ran over quickly.
"Captain, deputy captain, we got a telegram from above, saying they hope we can find a way to destroy the Japanese baggage train!"
"Look, look, even the higher-ups have spoken!"
Dou Jiande suddenly became excited.
Xiao Liangcai could only nod and say.
"Okay, inform our people, keep it a secret, and take action at 12 o'clock tonight!"...
Twelve o'clock in the evening.
Xiao Liangcai led his team of about 200 people and left through the back mountain.
Although there were checkpoints and sentries in the back mountain, we saw that it was Xiao Liangcai who led the team away, and Xiao Liangcai said that it was Yuan Shuai's order to let them go down the mountain.
The brothers in charge of the checkpoint did not suspect anything and could only let them leave.
It was not until the next morning that a brother discovered that only old soldiers, child soldiers and female soldiers were left in their camp, and he quickly notified Zhao Dalei.
"What, he left? When did he leave?"
"I don't know the details! Please ask the brothers at the checkpoint!"
After the brothers who were on duty at the checkpoint yesterday reported truthfully, Zhao Dalei thought it was Yuan Shuai's order and quickly called Yuan Shuai over.
When Yuan Shuai heard this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Damn it, Xiao Liangcai is such a bastard!"
"They left at around 12 o'clock at night, and it's already 8 o'clock in the morning. Even if we chase them on horseback, we won't be able to catch up! If I'm not mistaken, they must have gone to attack the Japanese baggage train! I told them not to move, they can't move, why didn't they listen!"
"Then what should we do now? We can't just ignore it!"
Zhao Zilong gritted his teeth in anxiety.
"Come to my camp and look at the map!"
After saying this, Yuan Shuai turned and left.
After all, there is no sand table map in the meeting hall.
Only Yuan Shuai has a sandbox map.
The new army has sand table maps for fighting, which is more convenient and intuitive.
But just when they walked into Yuan Shuai's combat command post.
There was the sound of gunfire in the distance.
"Damn it, it must be Xiao Liangcai and his men fighting the Japanese!"
"What a pity! If only we had acted together, the baggage train would have been captured by them!"
"Oh, what a great opportunity!"
Some people thought that Xiao Liangcai and others would definitely be able to capture the baggage train successfully, but they shook their heads and sighed in disappointment.
