Chapter 278 I led people to ambush the Japanese and puppet troops
Matsushita Gen asked Gangtian again.
"Who are the bandits who attacked you this time? What is their purpose in attacking your train station?"
Captain Gangtian said: "Report to the colonel, I don't know why they attacked our train station. There is nothing at our train station.
It is said that the bandits are most short of food at this time.
They usually go to rob the wealthy landlords at this time, but this time they are not sure what is wrong with them and come to attack our train station!
By the way, the bandits who attacked us this time are the famous bandits of Ma Zhankui nearby!"
Matsushita Gen had also heard of Ma Zhankui's bandits. They were quite famous among the local bandits and had a large group of people, but no more than 1000 people at most, and their equipment was extremely poor.
Although there were only about 300 Japanese soldiers at the railway station, their equipment was several times better than those bandits.
How do they have the courage to attack? The key is what is the purpose of their attack?
Although there are several warehouses near the train station, these warehouses are only used temporarily to store grain during the harvest season. Usually there is nothing in them except rats.
Why did Ma Zhankui's bandits come to attack the train station? This was a question that Matsushita couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried.
Matsushita Gen waved his hand and asked Gangtian to retreat.
However, the information collected afterwards left Matsushita Gen and Okada dumbfounded.
Later, the intelligence soldiers brought in information saying that after Ma Zhankui's bandits captured the warehouse, they transported thousands of tons of food and thousands of guns back to their railway station warehouse.
Is this a ghost? How could there be so much food and guns in that empty warehouse?
Matsushita Gendu suspected that this was a play put on by Ma Zhankui for them to watch.
But what was the purpose of their acting? And it is said that many poor local people also took a lot of food back home, this can't be faked.
Could it be that other friendly forces placed food in that warehouse, and Ma Zhankui got the news?
He called Gangtian over and asked him in detail: "Gangtian, is there any other army at your train station that has a large amount of food and guns? Tell me the truth."
Okada Kodera said with a sad face:
"Colonel, you don't have any food in your warehouse. My warehouse is cleaned thoroughly and there may not even be any rats in it.
Besides, there is no way that large amounts of food would need to pass through our warehouse at this season. Even if other friendly forces want to transport military rations, they cannot unload the rations and place them in our warehouse.
"Wouldn't it be a waste of time to load it up and transport it away? Besides, it's impossible for the guns to be kept in our place? What's going on?"
Matsushita Gen cursed angrily: "Asshole! Who should I ask if you ask me?"
Gangtian didn't dare to speak and could only lower his head.
“No matter what, we have to take back the train station. It is said that they have destroyed a long section of the railway.
We have to repair this damaged road quickly, otherwise the higher-ups will blame us and our lives will be in danger. You should take people to repair the railway quickly. We will prepare to completely eliminate Ma Zhankui in three days!"
So then Gangtian took his few remaining men and led a group of national defense troops back to the vicinity of the train station, and then supervised the railway workers to repair the railway.
Sure enough, three days later they repaired the railway, and then Matsushita Gen led his 1000 Japanese troops and 5000 national defense troops along the railway to wipe out Ma Zhankui's army. They claimed to have 1 troops, but in fact they had an army of 6000 people.
When Gu Wenxuan heard that the Japanese army was less than 10 kilometers away from them, he asked Ma Zhankui for 500 soldiers so that he could ambush the Japanese troops in front.
Ma Zhankui was very surprised that Gu Wenxuan was going to ambush these Japanese puppet troops: "General Gu, did I hear you wrong? You are going to ambush these enemies."
Gu Wenxuan said: "Yes, you heard it right, I am going to ambush them.
You only need to allocate 500 people to me. These 500 people don't need to be well-trained, as long as they can shoot. You can keep your well-trained soldiers and provide support when the time comes!"
Gu Wenxuan only wanted his new recruits, not his old soldiers, which made Ma Zhankui feel at ease.
Indeed, if it was as Wenxuan expected, Ma Zhankui would be relieved when he heard that only 500 new soldiers were needed and not his old soldiers. You know, he only had about 1000 old soldiers.
He was a little afraid that if Gu Wenxuan transferred half of his men away, he would not be able to resist the attack of the Japanese soldiers.
Because in Ma Zhankui's view, using 500 people to ambush 1 people is like an egg hitting a stone.
However, Ma Zhankui was still happy and allocated 500 people from Gu Wenxuan.
Gu Wenxuan led 500 newly recruited soldiers out of Ma Zhankui's camp.
It is less than 1 kilometer away from Ma Zhankui’s village.
There were two carriages parked by the mountain road.
Gu Wenxuan immediately ordered all 500 of his soldiers to stop and cease action.
Then he asked the soldiers to take out brand new Japanese military uniforms from the two carriages and asked them to change into them.
These new recruits immediately changed into the Japanese army's coats and riding boots, and they looked much better immediately. Compared with their previous tattered clothes, it was truly a major upgrade.
And there were a lot of submachine guns in the carriage.
Gu Wenxuan asked these 500 people to throw away all their previous rifles and replace them with these 500 Thomas submachine guns.
When Tan Tai Leng Yue saw that his brother-in-law had dressed them all up as Japanese soldiers, he knew that his brother-in-law would definitely infiltrate the Japanese army and kill them by surprise.
Tantai Lengyue couldn't hide her inner excitement; she was very much looking forward to the battle starting soon.
The Japanese army is now less than 10 kilometers away from Ma Zhankui’s lair.
Within this 10-kilometer range, there is only one place that can be used for an ambush.
Most of the other places are relatively flat, with only some bushes on both sides of the road, so even an ambush would be easily discovered.
The place where people can be ambushed is between two mountain ranges, about two to three hundred meters high.
The peaks of these two mountain ranges are steep, making it difficult to climb up and difficult to descend.
So Gu Wenxuan ordered Tan Tai Ming Yue to lead 400 people to climb these two mountains.
As soon as the Japanese troops entered these three places, they began to shoot at them.
Gu Wenxuan gave them a large number of grenades.
As long as the enemy Japanese troops have entered the ambush circle, throw grenades down with all your might. This does not require any skill. As long as you are strong and throw them accurately, you can kill many Japanese troops.
Although these 500 people are newly recruited soldiers and may not be able to shoot accurately, they have no problem throwing bombs and grenades.
Gu Wenxuan led a hundred men with him. Not far after the valley, there was a river with a stone arch bridge on the river. This stone arch bridge looked very old and was in disrepair.
Although this river is not big, it is no more than 50 meters wide, but it is deep and the water flows fast. According to local soldiers, the river is at least 20 meters deep.
It is very difficult to get out if you fall into the water.
Now the river water has gradually thawed, and the river water with ice crashes back and forth on the water surface, creating a spectacular scene.
