Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare. I'll send someone else over to lead the way for you."

"Row."

One o'clock.

It was very dark.

There was only a very faint moonlight. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the men Xiahou Wen had brought with him was not as great as that of the main force of the Eighth Column. However, they had received military training and had fought many battles against the landlords' armed forces in the past few months.

Plus, these people are all farmers.

He was honest and obedient, and could endure any hardship. He marched at night without complaining.

"Director Xiahou, our people have opened the door."

The underground party’s strength in the War of Resistance cannot be underestimated.

The four men on duty at night were all members of the underground party, or police officers willing to obey the party's orders. At one in the morning, they quietly opened the door. Xia Houwen immediately led a force of more than 400 people into Kangzhuang.

"What's the current situation of the police in the pseudo police station and the railway station self-defense group?"

"Only about thirty police officers from the puppet police station are at the police station. The rest are locals and have gone home to sleep. The railway station self-defense group, on the other hand, are all in their own camp. Their main job is to guard the weapons and ammunition on the train."

"Zhou Chong."

"director."

"Take a hundred people with you and go take out the police from the police station. It's best not to use guns."

"Yes."

"After we deal with these puppet police, we will meet at the Japanese barracks and take them down together."

Zhou Chong was brought here by Xiahou Wen from the 16th Regiment.

When Xia Houwen returned from the 16th Regiment, Zhang Zihua gave him a platoon of regular soldiers. One was to help Xia Houwen transport weapons and ammunition, and the other was to help Xia Houwen train the guerrillas and improve their combat effectiveness.

Zhou Chong is the platoon leader of the team.

"The others follow me."

Xiahou Wen led a troop of 300 men and headed straight for the train station.

The Railway Station Self-Defense Corps was originally the armed force of landlords in the Kangzhuang area.

After the Japanese army arrived here, they reorganized this armed force into a railway station self-defense corps, which was usually responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of trains.

The Japanese army did not expect this self-defense corps to be able to fight.

They were only responsible for guarding the train station during normal times. The Kangzhuang Police Station was responsible for matters outside the train station, and the Self-Defense Corps assisted the Japanese army in maintaining order at the station. It was already one in the morning, and the Self-Defense Corps were sound asleep.

With the cooperation of internal personnel, Xiahou Wen easily entered the self-defense corps camp.

"Remember, don't shoot. Divide into six teams, rush in, put them all on the kang, and quickly end the battle."

"Yes."

"Walk."

Xia Houwen was previously the head of the Civil Affairs Section of the Pingxi Detachment and is now the director of the Political Department of the 16th Regiment. But before that, he was a grassroots commander leading troops in battle. Therefore, he was at the forefront.

Went straight into one of the collective bedrooms.

It was one o'clock in the morning, when people were most sleepy. The people in the self-defense corps were not regular troops, and they were all sleeping soundly.

Xiahou Wen entered the house and waved his hand for the soldiers to take away the guns placed aside. Even after Xiahou Wen's men had taken away all the guns in the house, the self-defense corps officers and soldiers inside did not react.

Xia Houwen did not wake them up, but waited for reports from others.

"Director, everything is resolved."

"it is good."

This was the first time Xiahou Wen led his troops to attack such an important place as Kangzhuang, but he didn't expect the situation to go so smoothly.

"Wake them all up and put them under guard together. Leave fifty of them behind, and the rest will come with me to deal with the Japanese."

Chapter 127 Great Victory

"what happened?"

When Xiahou Wen led his troops to the Japanese camp, there was already a sound of gunfire.

Xiahou Wen came over to see that Zhou Chong's troops had already engaged the Japanese. The Japanese army consisted of only one squad of thirteen men. However, after the two sides engaged, Zhou Chong's troops were beaten to a pulp by the Japanese.

"Director, it wasn't me who wanted to attack. They saw the Japanese and had to attack. As a result, they were discovered by the Japanese, and this situation has become the case."

Zhou Chong answered with great embarrassment.

Xiahou Wen did not rebuke Zhou Chong because the troops Xiahou Wen led this time included the guerrillas he had personally organized, as well as the elite from the Lianzhuang Association who had come to cooperate with him.

Although they gathered on Xiahou Wen's side, they were not very disciplined.

Without any orders, they began to attack the Japanese army.

Unfortunately, they were too anxious and were discovered by the Japanese sentry. Although the Japanese army only had thirteen people, they did not fight at all when facing Zhou Chong's hundred people. On the contrary, the people of the Lianzhuang Association here were brave, but they had no rules in fighting.

They rushed up in a swarm, but were shot down by the Japanese light machine guns.

Then a gunfight broke out between the two sides. But it was obvious that the Japanese soldiers were very good at shooting, and in just a few shots they made the armed forces of the Lianzhuang Association unable to raise their heads.

Even though one hundred people fought against thirteen, they fought for more than ten minutes and didn't take down a single Japanese soldier. However, their own casualties exceeded twenty.

This is the gap between troops that have not received military training and the main force.

“Zhou Chong.

"director."

"You organize a crack assault team of capable men. I will suppress the Japanese firepower."

"Yes.

The Lianzhuang Association has never fought a war.

I don't understand how to fight in this situation. Being a disorganized group, they can bully the rabble, but fighting the Japanese exposes all sorts of problems. But the guerrillas Xiahou Wen brought are different.

These guerrillas were trained by Xiahou Wen himself.

Although they were weaker than the main force, their basic tactical maneuvers were flawless. Xiahou Wen immediately divided the guerrillas into three groups, one on the left, one on the right, and one on the right. Taking advantage of the guerrillas' large numbers, they opened fire from three directions, suppressing the Japanese firepower.

Compared with the previous village alliance, which had no rules, the three guerrilla teams were able to cooperate well.

After all, there are a lot of people.

Although the Japanese had a light machine gun, it was impossible to suppress them from three sides. Moreover, there were many soldiers with good marksmanship among the guerrillas. With Xia Houwen's arrival, the situation changed rapidly.

Even the members of the Lianzhuang Association who were very panicked during the previous attack calmed down a lot after seeing Xiahou Wen.

The Japanese army's disadvantage in manpower became increasingly obvious.

There were too few people to take care of so many people. After about ten minutes of fighting, the Japanese also suffered casualties. The Japanese army was small in number, so even a single death or injury would directly affect the Japanese defensive position.

Seeing that the Japanese army had lost its initial firepower, Xia Houwen immediately ordered Zhou Chong to lead the commando team to charge. In order to cover the commando team, he threw all the grenades in his hands.

“Grenade.

"Boom boom boom"

"rush-

"cover.

A dozen Japanese soldiers, if deployed by the main force, could have been decisively defeated in just over ten minutes. However, Xiahou Wen's guerrillas, numbering three or four hundred, surrounded the Japanese for over ten minutes, inflicting only five casualties. Meanwhile, their own casualties had already exceeded thirty. Xiahou Wen was anxious, hence his decision to charge.

The commandos came from three directions, a total of about 20 people.

Xiahou Wen didn't care about bullets at this point. As long as he dealt with this group of Japanese soldiers, there would be plenty of bullets. So Xiahou Wen ordered everyone to shoot at the Japanese positions, regardless of their marksmanship.

Hundreds of people firing were able to suppress the Japanese firepower in a short period of time.

Lacking heavy weapons, they could only use grenades. The twenty-odd commandos charged from three sides because the Japanese were outnumbered. Covering every area was impossible, so once they reached the front, they used grenades to blow up the Japanese positions.

Seeing the commandos throwing grenades into the Japanese positions, Xia Houwen shouted, "Charge—that's the commandos' mission.

Although the few remaining Japanese soldiers wanted to resist, they were too few in number. Only four or five of them were capable of fighting, so how could they stop so many people?

"What are the casualties?"

"Forty-seven people.

"Damn.

Xiahou Wen frowned.

Then he said, "When I return to the 16th Regiment, I will definitely send more military officers to the guerrillas to properly reorganize the troops. We can't fight such a cowardly battle anymore. Now, quickly clean up the battlefield and then go check the weapons and ammunition on the train.

Although Xia Houwen had been mentally prepared, he was still stunned when he actually saw the Japanese army's trainload of munitions. There were eight trainloads of weapons, four of which were filled with weapons and ammunition.

Rows of weapons.

Have everything.

"Go and see where the people Li Jiu mobilized are.

After hearing that there was a trainload of weapons and ammunition, Xiahou Wen sent someone to find Li Jiu, asking him to quickly organize the people from more than 20 villages in the base area to come to Kangzhuang to transport the supplies.

"Yes."

“Everyone else, check how many good things are in here.

Check each vehicle one by one.

Fortunately, the Japanese army’s weapons and equipment were packed in boxes, and each box had standards.

"Director, we've made a fortune this time."

"How about it?"

"There were at least 2600 Type 128 rifles, 34 light machine guns, 18 heavy machine guns, 39 mortars, 4 Zheng ammunition canisters, and four Type infantry guns. The rest was ammunition, boxes upon boxes. There were over boxes of infantry gun shells alone. There were also two carriages in the back filled with leather backpacks, military blankets, coats, uniforms, and two boxes of food. I saw all kinds of canned goods, biscuits, and soda. Two full carriages were filled with these things. There was also a lot of medicine, boxes upon boxes of medicine."

"Too many. Go find Comrade Zhou Yuanshan right away. I need trolleys, lots of them. I want all the trolleys we have in Kangzhuang. Tell them it's the price, and we won't keep track of the bill."

Xia Houwen was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

This time, after taking Kangzhuang, they seized nearly 300 rifles and short rifles, as well as three light machine guns, from the Japanese army, the police station, and the railway station self-defense group. There was also a small arsenal in the Japanese barracks.

Because the Japanese army has a reinforced squadron stationed here all year round.
