Chapter 5
""Xie Ning, have you caught the person?"
When Xie Ning came to the door in a hurry, Jiang Fan couldn't help asking
"Commander, I have two things to report to you.
The person has been caught, and I also found a damaged radio on the spot. It was a telegram sent to the Japanese army in Yangquan.
The scouts we sent to Yangquan also called and found traces of a large group of Japanese troops."
Jiang Fan frowned when he heard this.
It seems that he didn't stop it after all, otherwise he could at least delay him for a few more days.
However, the Japanese's intelligence system is well-developed and has penetrated deeply into China.
Even without this telegram, it would not delay for two days.
"What else? Let me tell you all at once."
"There was a man at the door who wanted to see you. He is a well-known local middle school teacher. I heard he graduated from Baoding Military Academy."
"He came from Baoding Military Academy, he's interesting, let him in."
Xie Ning wanted to say something, but paused.
"He said the Japanese army was about to attack, and if we were still in Chengde, he would come to see us. Then he left again, which was really strange."
Jiang Fan chuckled and said,"In that case, let's deal with this group of devils first.
Xie Ning, I have a task for you now."
Xie Ning stood at attention, raised his chest and said,"Please give the order, Commander, Xie Ning will definitely complete the task"
"You lead a platoon to harass the Japanese army and buy us time.
Remember the essence of guerrilla tactics."
Xie Ning nodded heavily and said,"Yes, Commander. When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack."
""Okay, go ahead. How much time you can buy depends on you."
He just built another mining car.
The base earns up to 9,000 funds every day.
To deal with this brigade of devils, at least a battalion of troops is needed.
To form a battalion, at least 30,000 funds are needed.
So this blocking battle is very important.
However, with the strength of Xie Ning and the first platoon, it should be no problem to buy more than three days.
Pingquan is about 80 kilometers away from Chengde.
It takes about two days at a normal marching speed.
That is to say, Xie Ning only needs to block the Japanese army for more than one day.
But I am afraid it will also pay a very painful price.
But This is war.
The first day went smoothly, and Jiang Fan was also accumulating troops step by step.
Xie Ning also arrived at the first blocking point-Hedong Village at the fastest speed.
The road from Pingquan to Chengde is all rugged mountain roads.
Xie Ning also knew that it was unrealistic to use a platoon of troops to head-on block a Japanese battalion.
So he didn't plan to fight head-on at all.
He divided a row into three, with squads as units.
Carry out harassment operations against the Japanese army.
At this moment, he led a squad to ambush on an unnamed hill.
Below the hill, a battalion of Japanese troops was advancing rapidly.
Even though everyone was panting, the team remained in order.
"Boom boom boom......"
Suddenly, a series of explosions occurred in the team.
As the explosions sounded, black shadows fell from the sky on the hilltop.
"boom...boom...boom....."
A burst of intensive explosions struck again.
It was Xie Ning's chain mine array and grenade rain.
Even the elite Japanese troops were a little confused by this sudden attack.
The whole team was a little confused.
But they reacted quickly.
"The enemy is attacking on the right hill. Machine guns are suppressing the enemy. Mortars and grenade launchers are indiscriminately attacking. Organize troops to attack immediately."
""Retreat!"
Without firing a single shot, Xie Ning led his team to flee.
This Japanese army was still very difficult to deal with.
They reacted so quickly.
Once they were entangled by them, they would probably not be able to escape.
His mission was to delay the Japanese, not to stop them.
""Bakayaluo."
When the two squads of Japanese troops attacked the top of the mountain, they found it empty.
Staff Officer Koizumi was so angry that he cursed.
"Keep moving forward!"
After the attack, the Japanese army seemed very cautious and sent a minesweeper to the front of the team.
The speed of advancement was greatly slowed down.
And Xie Ning's goal was achieved.
Along the way, he and the other two squads did not give up any opportunity to harass the Japanese army.
The two PM-37 82mm guns brought by the artillery squad this time also came in handy.
The total weight of 56 kilograms plus the maximum range of 3 kilometers.
They can bombard the Japanese army from a distance and run away after one round.
The Japanese army, which was overwhelmed by the harassment, also began to divide part of its forces to encircle and suppress the troops that harassed them.
This also made it difficult for Xie Ning and his men to succeed, and they also lost more than a dozen soldiers.
"Go to Wugou Town, there is a Laoniu River here, now the river surface has thawed, the river surface is very fast.
As long as we destroy the upstream and downstream bridges and boats, and then set up a blocking position on the other side of the river, we can at least delay them for half a day.
But in this case, we may not be able to go back.
Are you afraid?"
Xie Ning looked at the soldiers around him and asked
"No, as long as we can buy time for the commander, we are not afraid of death.
"Yes, we are not afraid of death!"
"It's the third day, Xie Ning, you guys must hold on." In two days, he spent about 20,000 funds.
With three barracks recruiting at the same time, he has recruited nearly 400 soldiers.
After today, he will have a full infantry battalion.
But people alone are not enough, you also need equipment.
