Chapter 795: Landmine Warfare and Tunnel Warfare
The Langya Detachment retreated through the mountains and forests in time to avoid the indiscriminate bombing by Japanese planes.
Liang Chuxue couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect that retreat would be a blessing in disguise."
Yang Jiang nodded and said, "Yes! Fortunately, we retreated in time."
At this time, the radio operator reported: "Captain! The political commissar called and said that two battalions of the Japanese are chasing us from the north. We can ambush them and then retreat."
Liang Chuxue said angrily, "It's him whether we retreat or not. All right! Tell all the teams to set up an ambush and scare the devils."
"Yes!"
The radio operator hurriedly received the order.
The four battalions of the Langya Detachment formed a U-shape, waiting for the Japanese troops to take the bait.
Soon, two Japanese battalions came chasing towards the north with great momentum.
"beat!"
At Liang Chuxue's command, the sound of gunfire once again resounded throughout Jiaozhou Bay.
The two Japanese battalions fought back hastily, leaving behind more than a hundred corpses and fleeing.
Yang Jiang said anxiously: "Captain! The Japanese are in disarray, let's chase them."
Liang Chuxue shook his head and said, "Don't chase them! These devil soldiers seem to want to lure us into attacking. Let's go! Retreat to Jiao County, continue to recruit soldiers, and prepare for a big battle with the devils."
The Langya Detachment retreated, and the Japanese soldiers caught up with them again, firing guns and cannons to provoke them.
Liang Chuxue was annoyed and said angrily: "These damn devils are looking for death. The whole army will turn around and destroy them..."
At this time, the radio operator reported loudly: "Captain! The political commissar said that the Japanese warships have entered Jiaozhou Bay. Let us quickly move north away from the coast and maneuver towards Jiaoxian."
Yang Jiang observed through a telescope and said with a wry smile: "Captain! Five Japanese warships have entered Jiaozhou Bay."
Liang Chuxue praised: "This guy's reconnaissance skills are really not simple, otherwise our army would have suffered heavy losses. Order all troops to retreat northward quickly!"
"Yes!"
The messenger hurriedly received the order.
The Langya Detachment was far away from the coast, and the Japanese warships and guns were out of reach.
Akiyama Yoshikatsu had been sitting behind the Japanese pursuers, and he was furious:
"Baga! Why is the Langya detachment so cunning?"
Nagano Kaiji consoled him, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! Don't worry, the Black and White Assassination Team has already rushed to Tori."
Akiyama Yoshikatsu wondered, "Could it be that Yang Jiang is in Boli and not in the frontline troops?"
Nagano Kaiji nodded and said, "Yes! Yang Jiang has always been in the rear and never appeared on the front line."
Akiyama Yoshikatsu sneered, "Yoshi! Please telegraph the Black Soldier Twin Assassination Team and ask them to bring Yang Jiang's head to the commander of this brigade."
Nagano Kaiji bowed and said, "Hello! I will notify you right away."
Boli, the command post of the Langya Detachment.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Lao Gan! Continue to pay the local people to dig deeper and wider underground passages in Boli and connect them into one."
Gan Rong laughed and said, "Political Commissar! The people are willing to work even if they are not paid but given food. They said that Li Yunpin asked them to dig tunnels before, and they had to bring their own food. He would often whip them to death."
Xiang Chu said angrily: "Can we be the same as those traitors?"
Yu Xiaowan asked in confusion: "Brother Chu! Why did you dig the tunnel so deep?"
Xiang Chu held up two fingers and said, "One is to prevent the Japanese planes from bombing, and the other is to prevent the Japanese heavy troops from encircling and suppressing us."
Gan Rong asked with a smile: "We won't run away this time?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No more running! We have to fight the devils in the underground tunnels."
Yu Xiaowan smiled bitterly and said, "My dear brother, if the Japanese use poison gas to fumigate the tunnel, won't we be in trouble?"
Xiang Chu asked back: "We can dig a tunnel into the mountain and use mine warfare and mobile warfare to coordinate tunnel warfare. What do you think?"
Yu Xiaowan clapped her hands and laughed, "I think this is great! We should have fought like this a long time ago."
Gan Rong said anxiously: "Political Commissar! Why don't we let the arsenal produce more mines, let the militias in each village dig tunnels and bury mines, and fight the devils with mines and tunnels."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! Let's mobilize the masses and fight a people's war."
At this time, Shima reported: "Political Commissar! We have detected a relatively strong radio signal nearby. Since we don't have the latest code book of the Japanese, we can't decipher it. Could it be the radio station of the Japanese spies?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "It's not impossible, Lao Gan! Immediately have the guards search the area around Boli, with a focus on the spy radio station."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Wulian Mountain, Zangjia Village.
In order to find Xiang Chu's whereabouts, the Pingcang team reached the entrance of the village.
Smoke from cooking fires rose from the village and children were playing happily.
The old people were basking in the sun under the archway and chatting about family matters.
The village girls were washing clothes by the stream, looking very peaceful.
The captain of the flat position team was very excited and laughed:
"Yoshi! This village is perfect for slaughter."
The sergeant said impatiently: "Captain! Take action immediately."
Captain Pingcang laughed sinisterly, "No! We should show our friendly side first, and then show our wolf-like fangs when they let down their guard. Haha!"
Some civilians spotted the Japanese soldiers and shouted in panic:
"The devils! The devils have entered the village."
"Bang!"
Captain Pingcang fired a shot, but missed the civilian.
The people of Zangjia Village ran desperately to escape from the Japanese invaders. The whole village was in chaos and fell from heaven to hell in an instant.
The sergeant taunted, "Captain! I feel like your marksmanship has become a little rusty lately."
Captain Pingcang was so angry that he yelled, "Baga! Set fire to the village and kill all the useless Chinese."
"Da-da-da! Boom!"
The sounds of machine gun fire and grenade explosions rang out, and a large number of Japanese soldiers fell down instantly.
Captain Pingcang lay on the ground and shouted: "Enemy attack! Fight back."
Countless Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed over from all directions, shooting as they rushed.
"Boom! Boom!"
Countless grenades were thrown into the middle of the Japanese Pingcang squad and exploded at the same time.
The captain of the Hecang team was killed on the spot with the telegram code book in his hand which he had not destroyed in time.
Liu Zhengxiong rushed forward, snatched the telegraph code book from his hand, flipped it open and said happily: "Great! This is the latest telegraph code book of the Japanese army. Quick! Report it to the political commissar."
"Yes!"
The radio operator hurriedly took the order and sent the message.
Not long after, I received a reply by telegram:
"Lao Liu! Quickly translate the following message using the latest telegram code book."
The radio operator deciphered the telegram code and said anxiously, "Chief of Staff! The Japanese assassination team of black and white has sneaked into Boli City and wants to assassinate the deputy commander."
Liu Zhengxiong said anxiously: "This deputy detachment commander must be the political commissar. Report to the political commissar quickly."
"understand!"
The radio operator hurriedly sent the message.
Boli, the command post of the Langya Detachment.
Xiang Chu held the telegram in his hand and sneered:
"The Black Soldier Assassination Team! They actually came here to seek death. Lao Gan! Close the city gates and all passages, gather all the people in the city, and catch the assassin."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Yu Xiaowan stamped her feet and said thoughtfully:
"Brother Chu! Is this a basement under our feet?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! Let's go down and take a look."
After saying this, he ran to the door leading to the basement, quickly pulled out his pistol, and loaded the bullet in one go.
"Everyone in the command post, retreat outside!"
Yu Xiaowan gave an order and hurriedly followed him.
