For the current Eighth Route Army, there are not many opportunities to capture such a wealthy place. But as long as such a wealthy place is captured, most of the logistics of the troops can be solved, and even the strength of the troops can be improved to a higher level.

The Special Forces Battalion, the second team now needs such an opportunity.

An opportunity for the second team to make a leap forward.

Lei Jiabin thought for a moment and said, "This is very dangerous. If our commandos fail to take the city wall, the Japanese army will be well prepared, and it will be very difficult for them to attack Dajing Town."

"I've thought it all out. This time, I'm not only going to take Dajing Town, but I'm also going to show the new recruits what warfare is like. Bring up the county brigade we've formed, the surrounding district squads, and the militia."

"Who do you want to take the city gate?"

"Of course it's our Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang. If he had been in our Northwest Army, I wonder how much Marshal Feng would have liked him. Marshal Feng likes brave generals like Zhang Shan."

1938 5 Month 27 Day.

The Japanese army's three-pronged siege was on the third day.

weather is good.

At the south gate of Dajing Town, one squad of the security corps was guarding the gate, another squad was resting in the gate lounge, and the other squad was on the city wall.

They were all careless and not alert at all.

Dajing Town was a wealthy town in the area, and even in the Chahar region, with merchants flocking to it every day. However, due to the high mountains and dense forests in this area, there were also many bandits.

When Yan Xishan was in power, he also thought about getting rid of these bandits.

But if the bandits couldn't defeat you, they would flee into the mountains, making it difficult to completely eliminate them. Later, the local government in the area counted more than 5,000 bandits within a hundred miles of Dabing Town.

You can imagine the security situation here.

However, the reason there were so many bandits here was actually because there were so many merchants on this road. Only the most powerful merchants from Datong to Zhangjiakou could use the Pingsui Railway. Most other merchants took this route.

Therefore, there are especially many bandits on this road, and they all rely on these caravans for their survival.

But the bandits also have self-awareness.

They didn't have the strength to provoke Dajing Town. The wealthy businessmen in Dajing Town formed a security group, which became the most powerful armed force in the area. This was because the weapons and equipment of these security groups were really good.

Not only light machine guns, but also heavy machine guns are equipped.

Who would dare to mess with such an armed force?

The Japanese army occupied Chahar and stationed troops in Zhangjiakou.

However, the main focus for the Dajing Town unit was to win them over. After all, the Japanese army was reluctant to provoke a local landlord armed with such weapons and equipment. Furthermore, these merchants and landlords were extremely wealthy and powerful local figures. The Japanese wanted to establish a Hanhao regime, and these were the people they wanted to win over.

Therefore, Dajing Town has always been safe.

Therefore, these security groups gradually lost their vigilance. Although the Japanese army sent news that they were going to sweep the Sanggong area and asked the security groups to strengthen the defense of Dajing Town, the security groups only added a platoon at each gate and did not really take it seriously.

There have been many people coming in and out since morning.

The temperature kept rising until about ten o'clock.

The soldiers guarding the gate were becoming increasingly listless when they suddenly spotted a large merchant caravan. This was their favorite thing to do, because any merchant caravan entering the city would have to pay a fee.

Even if you are a very powerful caravan, you still have to abide by the rules.

Even the captain of the security regiment, who was lying with his eyes half closed, perked up. Gazing from afar, he realized there was no end in sight; there must be at least thirty or so horse-drawn carts, which made him even happier. With so many carts, the city gate tax paid would be substantial, and they would get a good share.

So the company commander waved his hand.

The people below immediately stepped forward and said, "Stop the car, stop the car."

Chapter 123: Taking Dajing Town 2

"Hello, Junye. Come, have a cigarette."

"This is our commander."

The soldier looked at "Hardemen" with envy.

But he was a smart man, and he immediately brought the person to his company commander. Zhang Shan immediately nodded and handed the "Hardemen" to the security company commander. He smiled and said, "Hello, sir. Have a cigarette."

"From where?"

"Taiyuan."

"Your accent doesn't sound like Taiyuan."

"Sir, please understand. I'm from Dingbei County. I followed our master to Taiyuan during the war. Unexpectedly, Commander Yan couldn't even hold Taiyuan, and the Japanese army soon occupied Taiyuan. Our master simply stopped following Commander Yan and turned around to make friends with a Japanese logistics officer. After the Japanese army captured Taiyuan, the Japanese logistics officer stole a lot of valuables. He couldn't sell them in Taiyuan, so he asked our master to go north to find a buyer. So we set out from Taiyuan and came all the way here, ready to go to Zhangjiakou to sell our things."

"What good stuff?"

The company commander was attracted.

If you don't do business here all year round, then you are not a friend of those masters in the security group. This way, it is convenient to do anything and you can even make a lot of money.

"Bring up the two boxes."

Eight people immediately lifted up two large boxes.

The company commander squinted his eyes and looked at the big box.

He didn't mind the fact that these people were wearing box guns on their waists. Merchants coming and going here, to guard against bandits, all had their guards carrying guns. In Chahar, the last thing they lacked was guns.

They put the box on the ground with great effort.

The company commander was curious, and so were the other security guards. They all came over to see what was inside.

"Come, open the lock and let the commander see it."

A man who looked like a scholar came over from behind.

He pulled a bunch of keys from his waist and began to open the boxes.

The security guards at the door were all attracted by the box.

"Kajin—The box opened, and all the security guards looked inside.

Soon everyone's eyes widened.

Because there was a light machine gun inside.

"This

"Don't move. If you move or scream, I'll beat you to death."

Zhang Shan’s box gun hit the company commander’s waist directly.

Zhang Shan made a move, and those who had just carried the boxes took out their box guns. At this short distance, there was no better use than a box gun.

How could those security guards have imagined that such a change would happen?

"Good man, good man. We can talk about anything."

The company commander was really nervous.

Who wouldn't be afraid when facing a gun?

Zhang Shan waved his hand, and the others immediately began to speed up and enter the city gate.

"Go, call down all of you on the tower. Tell them you're changing guard."

"Yes, good man."

fast.

It took Zhang Shan less than ten minutes to control the city gate.

Without firing a single shot, they captured a platoon of the City Gate Security Corps. Wu Qinghe led a large force into Dajing Town in a swaggering manner.

"Political Commissar, take the Fourth Company, the New Recruit Company, the County Brigade, and the District Squad and seize the Security Corps' base."

"it is good."

"Tang Xijie."

"arrive.

“You three companies will be divided into three teams, and take the other three gates for me.

"Yes."

"Company One, Company Two, follow me. We are going to the Japanese barracks."

Wu Qinghe led the first and second companies and attacked the Japanese barracks. The Japanese had a small team in Dajing Town, which was the smallest in number but the most powerful.

Of course, Wu Qinghe also had to take his two strongest companies with him.

The weapons of the special forces battalion were already strong before it was reorganized into the second detachment.

A company in the Special Forces Battalion had between 240 and 280 soldiers, with the first and second companies totaling .

The Japanese army was not very vigilant.

But it was much better than the security group. The Japanese army built a watchtower at the location of their barracks, although it was only about five meters high. But one of their soldiers in the watchtower happened to see Wu Qinghe leading his troops.

This Japanese observer is very smart.

Looking at the troops Wu Qinghe led, it was clear that they weren't the city's security corps, nor were they the escorts for a particular merchant caravan. Their weapons and equipment were different. This unit was carrying heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. Within Dajing Town, there were no such armed forces. It was even less likely that the merchant escorts had such sophisticated equipment.

"Hua hua!" The Japanese observation soldier immediately blew the whistle. The Japanese reacted faster than the security group.

Soon most of the Japanese troops appeared in their positions.

"Da da da" The Japanese army set up a machine gun position on a high place.

Wu Qinghe looked at the Japanese positions and said with a smile, "Damn it.

We were chased and attacked by the Japanese heavy firepower before, now I will let them taste our heavy firepower. Zhang Shan, bring me our Zhengzhou bullet tubes and heavy machine guns, and take down the Japanese light machine gun positions.

"Yes."

The Special Forces Battalion was previously the most powerful battalion in the independent detachment.

Even after the 8th Column was established, the Special Service Battalion remained the most powerful force.

Not only are they numerous, but they are also well-equipped.

The special forces battalion immediately pulled out four grenade launchers and three heavy machine guns.

"First, shoot down the high-point machine guns."

"Da da da, three heavy machine guns, firing directly at the high machine gun point.

This was just a temporary machine gun point for the Japanese army.
