Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

17 Go out for reconnaissance and choose to outwit

"How come we are more than ten minutes later than the scheduled time?

I hope everything goes well for them.”

Zhou Pingkou looked at his watch and found that the gunfire was more than ten minutes later than the one hour they had agreed with Ye Qingshan.

It made him feel worried.

However, Zhou Pingkou also knew that any unexpected situation could happen during war.

Maybe Ye Qingshan encountered some minor troubles.

But as long as the sound of gunfire sounded now, Ye Qingshan and the others would probably have solved the problem.

The Japanese began to attack Jing'an Temple.

Their second company only needs to do their ambush mission well.

Just during the time when Zhou Pingkou led the Second Company to Huanghualing to set up an ambush position.

Ye Qingshan was not idle either.

“Black Bear, take your reconnaissance squad and follow me.

Dahai, you and your men wait here for orders."

Ye Qingshan took advantage of this hour to lead the Black Bear reconnaissance squad to conduct fire reconnaissance around the temple.

Although, now they have found the location of the Japanese brigade headquarters.

Moreover, the enemy was in the light while they were in the dark, giving them the advantage.

However, Ye Qingshan was not careless.

His experience as a special forces soldier in his previous life told him that no matter how great an advantage he had, he must not underestimate the enemy in battle.

Otherwise, there will be a bloody price to pay.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength!

Therefore, before the attack, Ye Qingshan had to understand in detail the terrain surrounding the temple occupied by the Japanese.

Reconnaissance revealed the defensive positions set up by the Japanese in the surrounding area.

Of course, Ye Qingshan also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

Teach Black Bear and others skills related to special operations reconnaissance and other aspects.

The reconnaissance squad led by Black Bear, consisting of more than a dozen soldiers, were all carefully selected by Ye Qingshan from among the more than 300 people.

A large portion of them were literate soldiers, and the other half were skilled in martial arts.

Ye Qingshan had high hopes for this reconnaissance squad.

It is hard to say who among the soldiers under his command can accept Ye Qingshan’s indoctrination of special operations concepts.

These people are the most suitable.

Ye Qingshan took Black Bear and the others to a hilltop and observed the surroundings with a telescope.

According to the detailed map of this area that Ye Qingshan had seized from the Japanese before.

The temple in front of us that was occupied by the devils was called Jing'an Temple.

It is not a very big temple.

Jing'an Temple is built on the mountain, located halfway up a mountain called "Qingrao Mountain". The terrain is not very high, but it is the highest mountain in the vicinity.

“I knew that the Japanese commander of this brigade chose this place as his headquarters.

It’s not a random choice.”

Ye Qingshan couldn't understand the specific terrain and environment of the area just by looking at the map.

But now, he discovered after observing the scene.

The Japanese commander chose Jing'an Temple as his headquarters because of its location and terrain.

First of all, in terms of location, this place is close to the gap in the assembly headquarters of the two major combat fronts of the National Army in the rear.

If things go wrong, they can always retreat.

In terms of topography, the temple is located on a hilltop, overlooking everything around it.

If any enemy launches an attack from the surroundings, it will be difficult to escape the discovery of the Japanese on the hill.

"Look, there is a Japanese garrison on the top of the mountain, with a Type 92 heavy machine gun,

Halfway up the mountain, to the left of the temple gate, there is a Japanese outpost with a Type 99 light machine gun.

Ye Qingshan used a telescope to find out the various firing points set up by the Japanese on the mountain, and Black Bear drew them on the paper next to him.

"This battle is not easy to fight."

After scouting the Japanese's firepower deployment, Ye Qingshan frowned.

The situation was worse than he had expected.

The Japs' firepower was reasonably configured, and judging from their troop strength, their number was at least over a hundred.

"Fortunately, these Japanese defenders should all be soldiers from the Japanese transport squadron.

They were not soldiers from the Japanese main infantry squadron.

The Japanese Type 92 infantry gun was not found either. It must have been taken away by other Japanese squadrons.

Otherwise, this battle may not be won."

The strength of the Japanese soldiers was not weak to begin with, and the combat quality of the National Army soldiers was much inferior to them.

Now, they have the geographical advantage.

A strong attack will inevitably come at a huge cost.

"But if we want to reduce the casualties in this battle, we have to use our wits to do it."

"Let's go, Black Bear, let's go back."

Ye Qingshan and Black Bear slowly retreated from the hillside. On the way back, Ye Qingshan was thinking about how to take down the Japanese position.

"There is."

Not long after, Ye Qingshan really came up with a solution.

After reuniting with Lu Dahai and the others, Ye Qingshan quickly asked Lu Dahai, "Where are those Japanese uniforms and helmets that I asked you to put away?"

"It's with the old pipe.

What's wrong? "

Lu Dahai asked doubtfully.

"It's good that they're still here. We'll need them this time."

Ye Qingshan smiled sinisterly.

Afterwards, Ye Qingshan quickly summoned the company's officers and combat backbones to hold a pre-war meeting.

Ye Qingshan pointed out the Japanese firepower points around Jing'an Temple drawn by Black Bear to Lu Dahai and the others.

"Da Hai, after these enemy fire points open, you must immediately clear them out at all costs."

"understand!"

"Remember, don't shoot until we reveal our identities.

Wait for my orders.

As soon as you see me shooting, launch a fierce attack immediately.

We must catch the Japanese off guard. Just lead one row and don't worry about the others.

Rush into the temple as soon as possible. It would be better if we can capture the Japanese captain alive, but that’s not important.

The important thing is that their radio station must be kept.

We must not let the devils destroy it."

Ye Qingshan reminded Lu Dahai of the details that needed to be paid attention to after the war began.

"Yes, Captain.

I've got it in mind, just watch it.

I will definitely bring you the Japanese captain and their radio station."

Lu Dahai assured.

Not long after, a group of Japanese soldiers marched onto the road and headed towards Jing'an Temple.

The leader was none other than Ye Qingshan.

At this time, Ye Qingshan was wearing the uniform of a Japanese squadron leader, followed by Lu Dahai and more than a hundred other "Japanese soldiers".

Just like that, we approached Jing'an Temple unscrupulously.

Not long after, the Japanese garrison sentries on the hill where Jing'an Temple was located discovered Ye Qingshan's team.

"What? Is it our squadron that's back?"

A Japanese sergeant guarding the top of the mountain was also confused when he saw a group of his own people coming up the mountain.

"Flagman, signal them with flags and ask them which squadron they are from."

The Japanese sergeant then gave orders to the flag bearer beside him.

Then, the Japanese flag bearer ran to a high point and waved the small flag in his hand at Ye Qingshan and the others at the foot of the mountain.

"The devils on the hilltop are signaling us with flags.

Ask which squadron we belong to."

Ye Qingshan immediately saw the flag signals raised by the Japanese flag bearer on the hilltop.

This was within Ye Qingshan's expectations.

"Let our flag bearer give the devil a reply.

Tell us we are from the Third Squadron, I am Iguchi Kawaishi, I am back."

Ye Qingshan said arrogantly.

The person Ye Qingshan was impersonating was none other than Iguchi Ishikawa, the commander of the Japanese squadron that was completely wiped out by them two days ago.

As for the Japanese flag signals, Ye Qingshan learned them after checking them on his mobile phone.

Then, it happened that there was a former flag bearer of the National Army in the company.

Ye Qingshan taught the Japanese the simple flag signals, and now the flag bearer is replying to the Japanese flag bearer on the hill.
