    In response to Wang Guangyu's earnest attempts to dissuade him, Yang Zhen's attitude was very firm.  For him, whether he can capture this warehouse is directly related to whether the troops who are currently sitting on nothing can survive.  With more soldiers, the strength has become stronger, but nearly 10,000 people eat horse chews every day. If nothing else, the food required alone is an astronomical figure.  As for other needed arms and supplies, there are even more.

    Although many battles have been won and a lot of equipment has been replenished, the number is far less than that of the nouveau riche-style troops.  The troops now number nearly 10,000 people. Not counting light and heavy machine guns and various small-caliber artillery, there is a shortage of more than 3,000 rifles alone.

    On average, each person has less than one grenade.  According to this ratio, it means that one-third of the troops are still using bare hands and fists.  Not to mention formal equipment, the poor and weak Chinese army does not even have a traditional broadsword for hand-to-hand combat.

    As for ammunition, it is even more scarce and can only be used by veterans and key personnel.  Recruits are trained every day and can only be allocated five rounds of ammunition.  Ammunition reserves have dropped below a dangerous level.  The lavishness he had during training at Lao Heidingzi's secret camp has long since disappeared.

    What¡¯s more, although the weather is still a bit cold now, it is gradually starting to get warmer.  The tens of thousands of individual military uniforms needed for the troops to change their uniforms have yet to be found. We can't march and fight in cotton-padded clothes on a hot day.  When the time comes, let alone fighting, even the heat will burn out the soldiers.  The army is now stronger, but the demand for all supplies is far beyond what it was before.

    Only now did Yang Zhen truly understand why, when the enemy was strong and we were weak, the seniors of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were willing to take the risk of being defeated by the enemy due to the single communication method and inconvenience in communicating with each other.  Spread out activities.  With so many people gathering together, just filling their stomachs is a headache every day.  This is northern Manchuria, which is vast and sparsely populated, not the densely populated Guan Nei.

    The reason why Yang Zhen dispatched an attack to Xiajiang under the current severe situation was that in addition to his plan to change the deteriorating anti-war situation in the Xiajiang area, he also had a plan to search for Japanese arsenals there based on some situations in his memory.  The idea of ??beating the autumn wind.

    The Xiajiang area is the base camp for the Japanese army to prepare for future wars against the Soviet Union. There are many secret arsenals of the Japanese army there.  Looting the Japanese military arsenal in order to obtain necessary material support for its own development and growth is currently a relatively good way to solve the problem.  Is this considered taking something from the enemy and using it against the enemy?  Now that he has encountered this opportunity, will he give up?

    In response to Wang Guangyu's persuasion, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "I know what you think, and I also understand your thoughts. But the situation is unforgiving. We are now very short of equipment, and food and other supplies have dropped to a dangerous level.  . If this situation continues, without the Japanese army attacking, we will be starved to death even if we are hungry."

    Yang Zhen pointed to the hand-drawn map he drew: "The terrain there is difficult, and the surrounding areas are either naturally formed or man-made steep slopes. Due to the limitations of the terrain, we can only attack from the front. The Japanese military fortifications are also extremely tricky.  If we attack with force, we will be massacred by the Japanese. We also lack direct-aiming artillery, so if we want to destroy these fortifications, we can only use people to pile them up."

    "Needless to say, just the two heavy machine guns deployed by the Japanese army at the entrance of the valley, which can form cross fire, can kill half of us on the way to the charge. Not to mention, the Japanese have also deployed a twenty-meter-wide cannon around them.  Minefield. We cannot use the blood and lives of soldiers to accumulate victory. In order to reduce casualties, the best way is to use small units to secretly infiltrate and launch attacks."

    "Although Li Mingrui and others have taken similar actions in Jingbo Lake, their experience is still very insufficient and they still need a lot of training. In order for the troops to survive and grow in Xiajiang, I have to go this time. However, you can rest assured that I  It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t seen his skills before, so there won¡¯t be any danger. What¡¯s more, we still have this.¡±

    Having said that, Yang Zhen took out a few jars from a shoulder bag that Li Mingrui had always carried with him carefully since the old Heidingzi secret camp, and said with a smile: "These are good things. We were able to defeat the little devils last year."  It sticks out there, and this thing has done a great job. With these things, you can do things with twice the result with half the effort. It's a pity that there aren't many of these things left, otherwise, just throw these things into the devil's warehouse."

    Looking at the oddly shaped steel jars in Yang Zhen¡¯s hands that were carefully wrapped and tightly wrapped, Wang Guangyu didn¡¯t see anything strange.  But since Yang Zhen said it was a good thing, Wang Guangyu didn't ask any more questions.

    It wasn't until the battle ended cleanly and almost without bloodshed. As a former victim, he finally knew what was in the small, inconspicuous jars in Yang Zhen's hands and what kind of power they had.  ???

    Seeing Wang Guangyu¡¯s disapproving look, Yang Zhen smiled and didn¡¯t explain much.  He just said: "That's it. I will lead the reconnaissance team to infiltrate secretly, and you will lead the large force to respond. If there is a gunshot, it means that we have been exposed, and you will immediately launch an attack. But you must find a way to knock out the Japanese plan.  Those two machine gun emplacements on either side of the valley.¡±

    "If there is no gunfire within two hours, it means that our operation is going well. You can spread out the troops and seal off the outside of the Japanese base. Remember, you must not let a single Japanese escape. I'm done.  After the action, two red flares will be fired for you. Just lead your troops and rush in through the main entrance."

    After saying that, Yang Zhen looked at his watch and said: "It's almost dawn now. Inform the troops to have a good rest during the day and start taking action at eight o'clock in the evening. I will lead the reconnaissance team to deal with the Japanese patrols. You will follow with the large troops.  Go in. Tell the troops that they are not allowed to talk or smoke while marching."

    Yang Zhen pointed to a point on the map and said: "After arriving at the target, hide your troops here and wait. Remember, there are minefields outside the barbed wire fence. You must not act without authorization before receiving a signal."

    After explaining the battle plan to Wang Guangyu, Yang Zhen looked at his watch, waved his hand and said: "It's almost dawn now, so I tell the troops to take time to rest, but they are not allowed to move around at will. We will set off on time at eight o'clock tonight."

    With Yang Zhen and Li Mingrui leading the team and taking action personally, they were able to quietly deal with the Japanese patrol of no more than ten people.

    This base is extremely heavily guarded, with a complete range of light and dark sentries and permanent firepower points.  You could be exposed if you're not careful.  Although Yang Zhen was very capable and capable, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

    What's more, compared to those of his comrades in later generations, his own reconnaissance team is just a blank, not even just formed.  It is still far from what I want in my heart.  Therefore, even though Yang Zhen had figured out the pattern and approximate number of Japanese troops here, he was still cautious.

    However, from the beginning of last year to this year, the Japanese army mobilized tens of thousands of troops to suppress the anti-alliance forces in the Xiajiang area for a full year.  As the second and third route armies of the Anti-Japanese Army in the Xiajiang area were severely damaged one after another, they were either transferred, disbanded, defeated, or even surrendered to the enemy. A large number of Shanlin troops who had fought side by side with the Anti-Japanese Army and even been commanded by the Anti-Japanese Army successively defected to the enemy.  , it can be seen that there are no anti-Japanese armed forces that pose a threat to the Japanese army in the entire Xiajiang area.

    Facing the favorable situation, although the Japanese troops here are still heavily guarded due to the special situation, they are somewhat lax.  The patrol team was quite vigilant, and the patrol density and strength did not relax at all because the situation was favorable.  However, the personnel on duty in various fortifications were quite lax.

    ¡°Compared with the seemingly heavily fortified fortifications of the Japanese army here, the minefields and patrols are the real troubles that Yang Zhen needs to face.  The patrol team has a large number of people. Generally, according to the establishment of the Japanese army, they are all in a rifle group.  Many times, a light machine gun is also carried.  With so many people to deal with at the same time, if anything goes wrong, the plan may be exposed.

    Fortunately, although the scouts under Yang Zhen's current command can only be regarded as rough parts, they were brought out by Yang Zhen after all.  Before departure, a targeted drill was conducted in advance.  In order to be on the safe side, Yang Zhen also adopted a two-on-one approach.  When they actually started to take action, except for the fact that the military dog ??they carried almost did not reveal their whereabouts, there were no major mistakes.

    After clearing out the Japanese patrols, Yang Zhen took advantage of the Japanese army's psychology to create a beautiful time difference.  After estimating the time, I easily touched the periphery of the minefield.  This time Yang Zhen had no intention of eliminating a passage from the minefield.  He didn't have that much time to specifically eliminate a wide enough passage.  Therefore, Yang Zhen simply used the full set of Japanese military uniforms on his body and entered directly from the main entrance with a swagger.

    Yang Zhen is now wearing a full set of Japanese military uniforms, including a cotton coat and leather boots.  I even got one for the command knife.  At night, when the sight distance is limited, it is enough to pretend to be a troop returning from patrol and fool the Japanese sentries.  At least it can be close enough to use a knife, so there should be no problem.

    Especially the Japanese military dog ??that was held in Yang Zhen¡¯s hands at this time and was captured and made obedient by unknown means by Yang Zhen, which adds to the credibility.

    The little devil is obviously confident in his own strength and more confident in the loyalty of the military dogs he has trained.  The sentries who had just changed their guard had never thought that these loyal wolf green military dogs that had been painstakingly cultivated by the empire would betray their masters.  Therefore, although the little devil sentries were extremely vigilant, they did not interrogate Yang Zhen and his party too much.

      After deceiving the Japanese sentries, Yang Zhen did not take action immediately, but cleverly left two people behind. He immediately divided his troops and pounced on the two machine gun fortifications on both sides of the valley that controlled the entire access to the mountain.

    These two machine gun fortifications are too threatening.  If it is not resolved first, once the action is exposed and the main force takes a strong attack, the crossfire formed by the two heavy machine guns will cause huge casualties to the main force.  As long as these two machine gun fortifications are solved first, even if the remaining Japanese fortifications are launched, it will not be a big deal.  As for those sentries, it is not too late to take action after the Japanese troops in the machine gun fortifications are dealt with.

    In order to ensure that something went wrong, Yang Zhen decided to take matters into his own hands and contract one each from Li Mingrui.  However, what Yang Zhen didn't expect was that it was his side that almost made no mistakes.

    As soon as Yang Zhen went up the mountain, he met a Japanese soldier who came out of the fortification to urinate.  The Japanese soldier was obviously stunned when he saw Yang Zhen.  Although Yang Zhen's military uniform bore the rank of second lieutenant, the Japanese soldier, who was just Commander Cao, did not treat his commander with the slightest respect. Instead, he said in a very stern tone: "Which part are you from? I don't know that there are only designated defense forces here."  No one is allowed to come near except you? Even if you are a commander, it is the same. This is an order personally given by His Majesty the Major. Don¡¯t you know?"

    After that, this guy took a closer look at Yang Zhen's face with the searchlight that swept over from time to time, frowned and said: "Which part are you from? Why have I never seen you? Are you not a soldier here? Here  I've been here since construction began and I'm pretty sure I've never met you."

    Yang Zhen did not expect that the Japanese commander Cao would be so vigilant. When he saw his superior, he neither saluted nor showed respect, but instead asked a barrage of questions.  This is an unusual situation among the Japanese army, which has always been strictly hierarchical.

    In response to this guy's continuous questioning, Yang Zhen used his peripheral vision to glance at the few Japanese soldiers guarding the searchlights on the tower on the other side, knowing that he had no way to take action here.  The two machine gun fortifications of the Japanese army were built extremely skillfully.

    Not only is the shooting range wide, but the rear is not far from the fortifications serving as flank cover, and the entire area is exposed to the fire support of this tower.  Even at night, it was completely exposed to the searchlights. If he wanted to take down this fortification quietly, he could only go inside to solve it.  Otherwise, once you take action, all your actions will be exposed.

    Facing the Japanese sergeant with a sullen expression, Yang Zhen smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his body and handed him one. He said, "I am Second Lieutenant Uesugi who was transferred from Harbin yesterday. I am serving as Lieutenant General Sasaki."  I came here to assist you with my order.¡±

    | "A few days ago, a group of thugs attacked the Jingbo Lake Hydropower Station construction site and disappeared. Your place is the key defense unit of the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Because I was worried that this group of thugs would flow into Tangyuan, Lieutenant General Sasaki specially sent me  Come to assist. After I arrived yesterday, I led the team out for patrol and then came back. Your Excellency, Major, asked me to come and check the outpost for him, so as to get familiar with this place as soon as possible."

    At this point, 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 senior you are, but I am your commander, and I am dignified.  A second lieutenant officer of the Empire of Japan. I hope you can face me with the attitude that a soldier should have after seeing a commander. Otherwise, I don¡¯t mind reporting to the Major and severely punishing you."

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

    After hesitating for a while, the guy finally stood at attention and saluted: "Sir, I'm sorry. Your Majesty the Major has a strict order. This is a defensive area. Without his order, no one is allowed to approach. I am carrying out the order. Please forgive me."  "

    Seeing this guy surrendering, Yang Zhen frowned consciously and said: "I told you that I came to check the sentry under the order of His Majesty the Major. If you don't believe it, you can call the Major immediately or ask for instructions in person.  .I am also following orders."

    "By blocking me like this, are you doing something that violates military discipline at the sentry post?" After that, Yang Zhen pushed the guy away and forcibly walked into the machine gun fortification.

    In fact, as soon as he met this guy, Yang Zhen could smell the smell of alcohol on him, although it was not strong, but it was still very strong.  This guy repeatedly stopped him, probably not only because of the order 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 a beast by nature, its military discipline is also extremely strict.  Burning, killing, looting, rape and massacre are just a way for them to boost morale and intimidate the people of the occupied countries.  Its own military discipline is still extremely strict.  What's more, no??Which country's army allows soldiers to drink alcohol while on duty?

    As soon as he walked into this extremely solid fortification and saw the scene inside the fortification, Yang Zhen showed a smile of understanding on his face and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.  There were not as many Japanese troops in this machine gun fortification as expected. It happened to be a Japanese heavy machine gun group consisting of four people.  To deal with these four people, even if Yang Zhen didn't shoot, he could still fight them off.  While he breathed a sigh of relief, the knife hidden in Yang Zhen's cuff also slipped skillfully into his hand.

    Seeing Yang Zhen forcefully enter the fortification, Chief Cao's face instantly turned pale.  Because he knew that even if he was a close confidant of His Excellency Major, if he drank privately during duty hours and was caught on the spot by an officer sent by his superiors, he would face harsh military punishment.

    Seeing this guy's face turn pale, Yang Zhen smiled, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "It turns out that the order given by Your Excellency Major Major is to cover you for drinking in violation of military discipline here. Yes, yes, I will tell Sasaki about this."  I will report it truthfully when I get to No. 1 Middle School.¡±

    While Yang Zhen was talking to this guy, he cleverly blocked the door without leaving any trace.  Seeing that he had occupied a good position, Yang Zhen looked at the other guys who were also pale, put his arms around this guy's shoulders to avoid direct light from the lights in the fortification, and said without changing his expression: "Captain Cao,  Now let¡¯s think about how to explain it to Mr. Major.¡±

    Before this guy could wake up from his fear, the bayonet in Yang Zhen's hand had already stabbed into his heart silently.
