Lost and Spy

Chapter 309 The First Command
The huge peripheral organization, those spies who were not on the official list of the military command, finally began to play their role.

At 5:[-] p.m., a dung worker named Fan Jucheng found traces of the Japanese Army's Zhenchuan plainclothes team in Gongzhi Lane of Pujia Temple.

The all-plainclothes team is based on the Ancestral Temple, with a number of about 15 people. They have built simple fortifications near the Ancestral Temple.

These plainclothes teams have been frequently active on the battlefield since the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, bearing the same responsibilities as the Chinese military.

However, unlike the military agents, most of the Japanese plainclothes teams were composed of professional soldiers. Each team was led by an officer, and with the cooperation of local traitors, they investigated, attacked and harassed the Chinese army.

These plainclothes teams have strong combat capabilities and are very courageous. They often actively search for the headquarters of the Chinese army, and then wait for the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on it.

Not long ago, the commander of the 88nd Battalion of the 523rd Regiment of the 2th Division of the elite German weapon division was killed in a sneak attack by the plainclothes team.

These Japanese plainclothes teams with the full support of the traitors brought great changes to the battlefield and became the most troublesome existence for the middle and lower commanders of the Chinese army.

The plainclothes team usually has ten to 12 members, and a plainclothes team with 15 members is at full strength.Moreover, they actually built fortifications on the spot at the Ancestral Temple?
Zhen Chuan has become arrogant and domineering to a certain extent.

In Meng Shaoyuan's view, this must be a provocation to himself.

"Kill them all, leave no one behind!"

This was the order issued by Meng Shaoyuan in Dagongzhi Lane immediately.

Not one left!
As soon as Xiang Shounong and Wei Yunzhe received the order, they immediately mobilized the armed rangers that could be summoned nearby, and rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible.

There are a total of five teams, plus the people brought by Meng Shaoyuan, a total of 43 armed agents.

With an absolute superiority close to three to one, there is actually no chance of winning at all.

You know, most of the Japanese spies they faced were professional soldiers.

The only thing that can be relied on is the powerful firepower advantage of the Armed Rangers under Meng Shaoyuan's previous careful preparations.

Light machine guns, submachine guns, shell guns...

Moreover, a "weapon of mass destruction" prepared by Meng Shaoyuan is on its way.

"Director Meng." Wei Yunzhe, who came one step ahead of time and had already observed the entire battlefield, was also a professional soldier before, and no one had more right to speak than him:

"The terrain of Gongzhi Lane is relatively complicated. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack when guarding the old ancestral temple. And if it cannot withstand it, it can quickly retreat to the north. Zhenchuan is still very experienced.

But now the situation has changed. A platoon of the 402nd regiment, in order to carry out the mission of attacking the Japanese army, was stationed at Yuanmutou Bridge two hours ago, just blocking the retreat route of the Zhenchuan plainclothes team. "

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes lit up: "So, Zhen Chuan has nowhere to run?"

"That's right, that's right, it's actually their bad luck." Wei Yunzhe looked very serious: "My 201st Brigade originally planned to launch an attack on the Japanese army in the early morning, but who would have thought that one of the Japanese army's detachments would get lost and rush in It reached the defense range of the 201 regiment of the 402 brigade.

The 402nd regiment quickly launched a siege and killed a few. In order to ensure that there would be no problems in the position and block the escape route of the Japanese army, they urgently transferred a platoon to Yuanmutou Bridge.As a result, the Zhenchuan plainclothes team could only defend on the spot in Laozumiao, until the Japanese army broke through the 201st Brigade's defense line. "

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and often an unexpected situation that no one expected before will disrupt the entire strategic deployment.

The Zhenchuan plainclothes team chose Laozumiao as their base camp before, putting themselves in a favorable position where they could advance, attack, retreat, and defend. However, the appearance of the Japanese army's small unit put them into a dead end.

Meng Shaoyuan looked at Wei Yunzhe: "That's not right, why do I think you seem worried?"

"There are advantages and disadvantages." Wei Yunzhe smiled wryly: "Director Meng, we were planning to launch an attack before you arrived, but another accident happened. The Ancestral Temple added 8 Japanese troops, and they were heavily armed Japanese troops. I took a look, there was a light machine gun, five rifles, luckily no grenades."

Meng Shaoyuan was startled, and then realized: "Don't tell me, these eight Japanese are the lost Japanese squad."

"Who else is there but them?"

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This lost Japanese squad allowed the 201st Brigade to adjust its troop deployment, and without knowing it, blocked the escape route of the Zhenchuan plainclothes team.

However, the remnants of the Japanese squad actually joined the plainclothes team.

The sudden addition of 8 heavily armed Japanese troops reversed the Japanese's military disadvantage from [-] to [-] to [-] to [-], and what's more terrible is that they now have a machine gun.

Don't underestimate a machine gun. Once commanded, this is definitely a headache for the attacker.

From the first minute of the Battle of Songhu, the military command has been involved in the war.

However, without the cooperation of the regular army, the agents were solely responsible for attacking a well-armed Japanese position. This was the first time for them.

When Meng Shaoyuan was performing tasks, he was calm and easy.

But commanding a tough battle?

He also has no experience at all.

Now, how to fight depends on Wei Yunzhe, who is a professional soldier.

"My idea is to make full use of the roofs on both sides."

Wei Yunzhe seemed to have a plan: "Gongzhi Lane is full of bungalows. I'm going to put our two machine guns on the roof and shoot suppressively at the Zhenchuan plainclothes team from east and west directions. At the same time, Under the command of Xiang Shounong, we will attack the Ancestral Temple on the ground."

"Old Xiang, what do you say?" Meng Shaoyuan's eyes fell on Xiang Shounong.

I haven't seen him in the past few days, and Xiang Shounong seems to have lost a lot of weight.But it still has a carefree character: "Master, leave it to me. I fought with Little Japan before."

"That's because we cooperate with the regular army to fight." Meng Shaoyuan was not at all relaxed: "Now, the 201st Brigade can't mobilize troops to help us, it's all up to us. The attack will be launched in 10 minutes, and the battle must be over before midnight. Otherwise, when the attack of the 201st Brigade begins, the bastards like Zhenchuan will escape, and it will be impossible to cause trouble for the 201st Brigade."

Now, it's 6pm.

Two light machine guns have been transported to the roofs on both sides.

During the transportation, the Japanese army apparently discovered the intention of the military command agents, and they organized shooters to shoot at the roof, which resulted in an agent being injured.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately ordered to concentrate all firepower to suppress, and only then did the light machine gun enter the designated firing position.

The Japanese gave up the attack on the machine gun positions and began to improve and strengthen their positions.

Experience plays a vital role at this time.

In the binoculars, Meng Shaoyuan found the commander of the old ancestral temple and handed it over to a Japanese army officer.

In the establishment of the Japanese army, the position of Sergeant Cao is the lowest-ranking officer, but it is often the most respected by the Japanese army.

This position is always filled by veterans.

They have strong prestige and rich experience. Whether in the army or the navy, most of the time, lieutenant officers will maintain full respect for sergeants and listen to their opinions.

The only machine gun in the Japanese army position in Laozumiao was placed in a blind shooting spot on the roof of the machine gun position in order to avoid strafing from the roof.

On the contrary, this machine gun can block the attack line.

This is the most headache for Wei Yunzhe.

But, now, there is no way out.

He looked at the time:

"attack!"

With an order, several grenades were thrown out at the same time.

Amid the "rumbling" explosion, the machine guns on both sides of the roof roared wildly at the same time.

Gunshots and explosions turned Gongzhi Lane into a battlefield in an instant.

It was Xiang Shounong's turn.

"Brothers, go for me!"

Xiang Shounong's cry sounded like a broken gong.

A team of military command agents, under the cover of machine guns, quickly launched an attack on the Ancestral Temple.

But just after a few steps, the machine guns on the Japanese position finally roared.

"Tut-chug, chug-chug, chug-chug."

Laozumiao's machine gun fired rhythmically, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the rifle, it suppressed the attacking troops in one fell swoop.

An agent couldn't dodge in time, his body was pierced by bullets, and he fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out from his body. When the agent died, his face was full of disbelief and fear.

In just the blink of an eye, he was dead.

"Hide, hide!" Xiang Shounong hid behind a big stone plate, and his voice was as angry as he wanted: "Wei Yunzhe, hold down your machine gun, hold it down for me!"

Wei Yunzhe, who personally directed the machine gun fire on the roof, was also extremely wronged.

These Japanese troops were too cunning, and their machine gun positions were set up very well, making it impossible for their two machine guns to hit them.

The key point is that the Japanese army did not throw grenades frequently, or even threw one occasionally, but every time they threw them, the sound of explosions always exploded at the most correct place, thus blocking the attack route.

After attacking twice in a row, all of them returned in vain. Instead, four of Xiang Shounong's men died.

In contrast to the Japanese army, only one person was injured.The wounded Japanese soldier quickly went into battle again after a simple bandage.

In two attacks, the casualty ratio was four to one.

Meng Shaoyuan has been observing the battlefield.

He is studying.

Military command is his weakness.

Although, he doesn't need to be on the battlefield often.

But with the deepening of the war, more and more such opportunities will appear.

Being on the battlefield and witnessing it with his own eyes, he now has a clearer understanding of the gap between Chinese and Japanese soldiers.

Japanese soldiers would not hold up their guns and fight indiscriminately, but looked for shooting opportunities very patiently, and tried their best to bring a huge threat every time the trigger was pulled.

But the agents under him were desperate to shoot wildly with submachine guns, but the effect was not ideal.

This is the difference between professional and non-professional.

"Director Meng, Director Meng." Song Deng suddenly appeared on the battlefield, hurried up to Meng Shaoyuan, panted and said, "According to your request, that guy is here!"

"Good!" Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed:

"Bring up my Italian cannon!"
