Yang Zhen's attitude was very firm in response to Wang Guangyu's bitter dissuasion. For him, whether he could take down this warehouse was directly related to whether the troops who were now living in vain could survive. With more soldiers, their strength was stronger, but nearly 10,000 people ate horses every day. Not to mention anything else, the food needed was just an astronomical figure. As for the other arms and supplies needed, there were more.

Although many victories have been won and a lot of equipment has been added, the number is far from keeping up with the nouveau riche-style development troops. The troops now have nearly 10,000 people, not counting light and heavy machine guns, various small-caliber artillery, and only one rifle is missing.

On average, no one grenade is available for each person. According to this ratio, one-third of the troops are still empty-handed. Not to mention regular equipment, there is not even a traditional big blade for hand-to-hand combat in the poor and weak Chinese army.

As for ammunition, it is even more insignificant, so it can only be guaranteed to be used by veterans and backbones. New recruits can only allocate five bullets every day. The ammunition reserve has dropped below a dangerous line. There has been no longer the big shots that were used to train in the Lao Heidingzi Secret Camp.

What's more, although the weather is still a little cold, it has gradually begun to warm up. Tens of thousands of single military uniforms are needed for the troops to change their clothes. You can't marching and fighting in cotton clothes on hot days. Not to mention fighting, even the heat will heat the soldiers up. The troops are growing stronger now, but the demand for all materials is far from comparable before.

Yang Zhen now truly understands why, when the enemy is strong and we are weak, the old predecessors of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces would rather risk the risk of being defeated by the enemy because of the single communication methods and inconvenient communication, and the troops were in danger of being defeated by the enemy, and they would disperse the troops to move. So many people gathered together, just filling the stomachs of these people is a headache every day. This is the vast and sparsely populated Beiman Empire, not the densely populated pass.

The reason why Yang Zhen was in the current severe situation that he was dispatched to Xiajiang was not only to change the plan of the deteriorating anti-Japanese war situation in the Xiajiang area, but he had the idea of ​​finding the Japanese arsenal there to fight Qiufeng according to some of the situations he remembered.

Xiajiang area is the base camp for the Japanese army to prepare for future war against the Soviet Union, where there are many secret arsenals of the Japanese army. Looting the Japanese arsenals in order to develop and grow and gain necessary material support is a relatively good way to solve the problem at present. Is this also considered taking it from the enemy and using it for the enemy? Now that he encounters this opportunity, will he give up?

In response to Wang Guangyu's persuasion, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "I know your thoughts, and I understand your thoughts. But the situation is not forgiving people. We are now short of equipment, and the supply of food and other supplies has dropped to a dangerous level. If this situation continues, we will not be attacked by the Japanese army, and even hunger will be hungry."

Yang Zhen pointed to the hand-drawn map he drew: "The terrain is dangerous, and it is either naturally formed or artificially transformed steep slopes. The restrictions on the terrain allow us to attack from the front. The Japanese fortifications were extremely tricky and the large army could not carry out the operation. If it attacks forcibly, it would be just sent to the door to be massacred by the Japanese. We lack direct-seeking artillery, and if we want to destroy these fortifications, we can only use people to pile them up."

"Not to mention anything else, just the two heavy machine guns deployed by the Japanese army that can form cross-fire can kill half of us on the way to charge. Not to mention, the Japanese also arranged a minefield of twenty meters wide around them. We cannot use the blood and lives of the soldiers to accumulate victory. In order to reduce casualties, the best way to use the secret infiltration of small troops and raids to launch an attack."

"Although Li Mingrui and the others have taken similar actions in Jingpo Lake, their experience is still insufficient and they still need a lot of training. In order for the troops to survive and grow in Xiajiang, I must go this time. However, don't worry, you have not seen my skills, and there will be no danger. What's more, we have this."

After saying that, Yang Zhen took out a few jars from a suitcase that Li Mingrui had been carrying with him since Lao Heidingzi's secret camp, and smiled and said, "This is a good thing. We were able to stand out from the Japanese last year. This thing has made great contributions. With these things, it will be twice the result with half the effort when doing things. Unfortunately, there are not many things, otherwise, you can throw these things into the Japanese warehouse directly."

Looking at the strange-looking steel jars in Yang Zhen's hands, which were carefully wrapped in several extremely tight steel jars, Wang Guangyu didn't see anything strange. However, since Yang Zhen said that this was a good thing, Wang Guangyu didn't ask much.

Until the battle was clean and neat, and almost bloodless, as a former victim, he knew what was in the small and inconspicuous jars in Yang Zhen’s hands and what kind of power they had.

Seeing Wang Guangyu's disapproval, Yang Zhen smiled and did not explain much. He just said, "It's settled. I'll lead the reconnaissance team to secretly infiltrate, and you will be able to support me with the large army. If there is a gunfire, it means we have been exposed, so you will immediately launch an attack. But you must find a way to knock out the two machine gun fortifications arranged by the Japanese on both sides of the valley."

"If the gun is not fired within two hours, it means that our actions are going well. You will disperse the troops and block the periphery of the Japanese base. Remember not to let a Japanese escape. After I complete the action, I will shoot two red flares for you. You will lead the troops into the main gate."

After saying that, Yang Zhen looked at his watch and said, "It's almost dawn now. I'll inform the troops to have a good daytime day and start the action at 8 o'clock in the evening. I'll lead the reconnaissance team to deal with the Japanese patrol. You will follow up with the large army. Tell the troops that you are not allowed to speak or smoke when marching."

Yang Zhen pointed to the point on the map and said, "After reaching the target, you hide the troops here and standby. Remember, there is a minefield outside the barbed wire mesh. You must not act without authorization until the signal is received."

After explaining the combat plan to Wang Guangyu, Yang Zhen looked at his watch and waved his hand and said, "It's almost dawn now. I'll be instructing the troops to hurry up and rest, but not walk around at will. Let's set off on time at 8 o'clock tonight."

Yang Zhen and Li Mingrui led the team and took action personally to quietly deal with the Japanese patrol team, which had no choice but to deal with more than ten people.

This base is extremely vigilant, with various light and dark whistles and permanent firepower points. If you are not careful, you may be exposed. Although Yang Zhen is very good at self-control and has great skills, he dare not be careless at all.

What's more, his reconnaissance team is even a piece of cake and is not even considered a newly formed comrades in later generations. It is still far from his request. Therefore, even though Yang Zhen has figured out the rules and approximate numbers of Japanese troops here, he is still cautious.

However, since the beginning of last year to this year, the Japanese army mobilized tens of thousands of troops to clean up the Anti-Japanese United Army in the Xiajiang area for a whole year. With the Second and Third Route Army in the Xiajiang area, they were severely damaged, either moved, collapsed, lost, or even surrendered to the enemy. A large number of mountain forest teams that had fought side by side with the Anti-Japanese United Army and were even commanded by the Anti-Japanese United Army successively surrendered to the enemy. It is difficult for the entire Xiajiang area to have anti-Japanese armed forces that pose a threat to the Japanese army.

Faced with the great situation, although the Japanese army here is still very cautious due to the special situation, they are somewhat relaxed. The patrol team is still extremely vigilant, and the patrol density and force are not relaxed at all because of the favorable situation. However, the duty personnel in various fortifications have been much relaxed.

Compared with the fortifications that the Japanese army seemed to be very well prepared on the surface, the minefield and patrol team were the real troubles that Yang Zhen had to face. The number of patrol teams was large, and generally according to the Japanese army's organization, they were all in the same rifle group. In many cases, they also brought a light machine gun. At the same time, they solved so many people, and once any mistakes occurred, the plan might be exposed.

Fortunately, although the scouts under Yang Zhen can only be considered a piece of cake, they were brought out by Yang Zhen after all. Before setting off, they conducted targeted drills in advance. In order to prevent them, Yang Zhen also adopted a two-on-one approach. When he really started, except for the military dog ​​they were carrying, he almost exposed his whereabouts, and there was no major mistake.

After clearing the Japanese patrol, Yang Zhen used the Japanese army's psychology to make a beautiful time difference. After estimating the time, he easily touched the periphery of the minefield. This time, Yang Zhen did not intend to eliminate a passage from the minefield. He didn't have so much time to specifically eliminate a wide enough passage. Therefore, Yang Zhen simply used the full Japanese military uniform on his body to enter directly from the front of the main gate.

Yang Zhen is wearing a full Japanese military uniform, cotton coat and leather boots. He even has a command knife. At night, when the distance of sight is limited, he can dress up as a patrol unit and fool the Japanese sentinels. At least he can get close to the distance of the knife, so there should be no problem.

Especially after holding the captured Japanese military dog ​​in Yang Zhen's hand, he didn't know what means Yang Zhen used to make the obedient Japanese military dog, which increased its credibility.

The Japanese were obviously confident in their strength and more confident in the loyalty of the military dogs they cultivated. The sentry who had just completed the change of duty did not expect that the extremely loyal Wolf Green Army Dogs who were so hard-workingly bred by the empire in front of them would betray their masters. Therefore, although the Japanese sentry was extremely vigilant, they did not interrogate Yang Zhen and his party too much.

After tricking the Japanese sentinels, Yang Zhen did not take action immediately, but cleverly left two people. He immediately divided his troops and rushed to the two machine gun fortifications on both sides of the valley that controlled the entire mountain passage.

These two machine gun fortifications have a great threat. If they are not solved first, once the action is exposed, the main force adopts a strong attack, and the crossfire formed by these two heavy machine guns will cause huge casualties to the main force. As long as these two machine gun fortifications are solved first, the remaining Japanese fortifications will not be a big deal even if they launch a strong attack. As for those sentries, it is not too late to take action after the Japanese army in the machine gun fortifications have been resolved.

In order to ensure that if there are any mistakes, Yang Zhen decided to take action and contract one with Li Mingrui. However, what Yang Zhen did not expect was that what almost made no mistakes happened to be his own side.

As soon as Yang Zhen went up the mountain, he met a Japanese soldier who came out of the fortifications to urinate. The Japanese soldier was obviously stunned when he saw Yang Zhen. Although Yang Zhen's military uniform had the rank of a second lieutenant, this was just Chief Cao's Japanese army, but he did not treat the superiors at all. Instead, he said in a very stern tone: "You are from that part of you. I don't know that no one here except for the designated defensive forces? Even if you are the superiors, it's the same. This is an order issued by the Grand Secretary himself. Don't you know?"

After saying that, this guy took advantage of the searchlights that swept over from time to time and looked at Yang Zhen's face carefully, frowned and said, "You are from that part of you, why have I never seen you? You are not a soldier here? I have been working here since the start of construction. I am sure I have never seen you."

Yang Zhen did not expect that this Japanese chief Cao would be so vigilant. When he saw his commander, he was neither respectful nor respectful, but instead asked questions like a cannon. This was also an alternative among the Japanese army, which had always been of strict hierarchy.

Regarding this guy's repeated interrogation, Yang Zhen aimed at the Japanese soldiers watching the searchlights on the other tower on the other side, knowing that he had no way to do it here. The Japanese army's two machine gun fortifications were extremely tricky.

Not to mention the wide open shooting range, the back is not far from the fortifications that serve as flank cover, and they are all exposed to the fire support of this tower. Even at night, they are completely exposed to the searchlight. If you want to remove the fortification quietly, you can only enter the interior to solve the problem. Otherwise, once you take action, your actions will be exposed.

Facing the Japanese sergeant with a bad face, Yang Zhen smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his body and handed it to him and said, "I am the Second Lieutenant Uesugi who was transferred from Harbin yesterday. I came here to assist you by the order of Sasaki to the First Lieutenant General."

| "A few days ago, a group of thugs attacked the construction site of Jingpo Lake Hydropower Station and disappeared. You are the key defense unit of the Kanto Army Command. Because you are worried that the thugs will rush to Yuyuan, Lieutenant General Sasaki specially sent me to help. After I arrived yesterday, I led the team out to patrol before I came back. The Grandpa asked me to come over for him to check the post to get familiar with the place as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, in order not to give this guy time to think carefully, Yang Zhen finished speaking softly, with a straight face and said seriously: "Sergeant, I don't care how old you are, but I am your commander and a second lieutenant officer of the great Japanese Empire. I hope you can face me with the attitude you should have when you meet the commander as a soldier. Otherwise, I don't mind reporting to the Grand Master and punishing you severely."

Maybe it was Yang Zhen's fluent Japanese, maybe it was Yang Zhen's explanations that worked, maybe the officer attitude he later made the guy finally change his attitude and soften.

After hesitating for a moment, the guy finally stood at attention and saluted: "Sir, I'm sorry. The Grandpa, you have made a strict order. This place is a key defense site. If it were not for his orders, no one would be allowed to approach. I am executing the order. Please forgive me."

Seeing this guy surrender, Yang Zhen frowned consciously and said, "I said I came to check the whistle by the order of the Grand Master. If you don't believe it, you can call the Grand Master immediately or ask for instructions in person. I am also executing the order."

"Don't you do something that violates military discipline at the sentry?" After saying that, Yang Zhen pushed the guy away and forcibly walked into the machine gun fortification.

In fact, when he met this guy, Yang Zhen smelled the smell of alcohol that was not strong but also very compelling. This guy repeatedly stopped him, not only because of the orders of the Japanese commander here, but also because he was afraid that he, the officer, would find out that they were drinking in violation of discipline.

Although the Japanese army is wild, its military discipline is extremely strict. Burning, killing, looting, rape and massacre are just a means of encouraging morale and intimidating the people of the occupied countries. Its military discipline is extremely strict. What's more, no country's army allows soldiers to drink while on duty.

As soon as he walked into this extremely strong fortification, he saw the scene inside the fortification, and while Yang Zhen showed a clear smile on his face, he also breathed a sigh of relief. The Japanese army in this machine gun fortification was not as much as he imagined. It happened to be a Japanese heavy machine gun group, which was organized by four people. Even if Yang Zhen did not fire the gun, he would rub it. While breathing a sigh of relief, Yang Zhen's knife hidden in his cuff also cleverly slid into his hand.

Seeing Yang Zhen forcibly entering the fortification, Cao Chang's face turned pale in an instant. Because he knew that even if he was a confidant of the Grand Master, he was drinking privately during duty hours and was caught on the spot by the officer sent by his superiors, and he would face harsh military law.

Seeing the guy's face turned pale, Yang Zhen smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "It turns out that the order of the Grand Master is to cover you to drink in violation of military discipline here. Not bad, not bad, I will report this truthfully to Sasaki to General No. 1."

While talking to this guy, Yang Zhen cleverly blocked the door without any trace. Seeing that he had occupied a good position, Yang Zhen looked at the other guys with the same pale face, hugged the guy's shoulder and avoided the direct lights in the fortifications, and said without changing his face: "Cao, now I'll think about how to explain to the Grand Master."

Before this guy could wake up from his fear, the bayonet in Yang Zhen's hand had quietly stabbed into his heart.
Chapter completed!
