Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2720 Night attack! Night attack!

The black troops have made preparations according to Duanwu's arrangements.

The first preparation is as usual.

The black troops did what they did on weekdays, and they did the same thing today.

So the empty camp that Zhao Laonian saw was actually the normal state of the black-clad troops. Zhao Laonian just saw it for the first time.

As for all the people in Phoenix City, including those in the arsenal, they had secretly arrived at the woods five kilometers west of the Black Army’s base tonight and hid there.

The reason for this arrangement is that Duanwu will launch a night attack on the Japanese army tonight.

Even if it is impossible to completely wipe out the Japanese army, we must find a way to send these villagers from Phoenix City to Laoyeling.

Of course, this was Duanwu's beautiful wish. He really hoped to wipe out the Japanese army, but they didn't have enough people. The entire black army only had about 600 people. On the contrary, the Japanese and puppet troops had a mixed brigade.

Even though an infantry battalion had been annihilated before, Duanwu guessed that the other side still had at least 5,000 troops.

This is equivalent to the Black Army wanting to annihilate all enemies that are ten times their number, which is simply a fantasy.

So, this is just a small wish for the Dragon Boat Festival.

He hoped to annihilate the enemy completely, but the reality was that it was impossible.

Then he could only create an opportunity to evacuate the civilians while attacking the Japanese.

So when Zhao Laonian was worried, Duanwu smiled and said, "Let's go. Your wife is fine. She is with the people from Phoenix City five kilometers away from here. Tonight, we will attack the devils at night to create an opportunity for them to break out."

"what?"

Only then did Zhao Laonian realize that he had been cheated.

But he dared not say anything, because he could not win at all, otherwise he would definitely use his size 42 big foot to kick Duanwu in the butt.

This time, Duanwu ignored Zhao Laonian and rode directly into the camp.

Of course, a secret sentry from the black army had already reported the arrival of Duanwu to the one-eyed dragon, and the one-eyed dragon came out to greet him personally.

Duanwu dismounted and asked, "Are you all ready?"

The one-eyed dragon chuckled and said, "Everything is ready, Captain, please!"

The one-eyed man invited Duanwu into his tent, where a large amount of black, green and khaki oil paints were prepared.

Duanwu looked at the paints and smiled slightly, saying, "Let the black-clad troops paint all of them on their faces. Tonight, we can avoid using guns if possible."

At this point, Duanwu took off his military uniform and put on the black clothes of the black army.

Zhao Laonian just stood there looking stupidly.

At this time, Duanwu scolded: "Why don't you change your clothes? If you can't open this escape passage tonight, your wife won't be able to get out."

"Hey!"

Zhao Laonian is not afraid of anything else but his wife being in danger. He is obviously a sentimental person.

Duanwu seized on this point of Zhao Laonian, otherwise this old guy would definitely not work hard.

When he reaches the battlefield, where will he hide and where will Duanwu go to find him?

So they tied him up first, and then tonight he was going to cause trouble in the Japanese military camp.

············

Time passed by minute by minute, and the reconnaissance team kept an eye on the enemy's camp. When Duanwu brought Zhao Laonian, Du Yanlong and the black-clad troops to the vicinity of the enemy's camp, the scout immediately came to report:

"Captain, everything is normal in the enemy camp. The patrol team changed shifts on time and found no unusual movements. However, their guard seems to be stricter than usual tonight, and there are twice as many enemy patrols as usual."

Duanwu nodded and said, "Okay, got it. Inform everyone to act according to the plan and be careful."

After saying that, Duanwu turned around and winked at Zhao Laonian and Duyanlong, and the three of them quietly moved towards the edge of the Japanese camp.

The night was as dark as ink. Only the torches in the distant enemy camp flashed disturbing lights like the eyes of wolves.

Approaching the camp, Duanwu crouched low and, under the cover of night, carefully observed the enemy's layout.

The camp was surrounded by high wooden fences, with a Japanese soldier standing with a gun every ten steps. The patrols moved back and forth along a fixed route with orderly and vigilant steps.

There were several tents in the center of the camp, the largest of which was undoubtedly the Japanese command center. There were sentries all around it, making it difficult for even a fly to fly in.

Duanwu thought to himself that with such defense, a head-on attack was undoubtedly the worst option and he could only outsmart them.

He noticed that there was a sparse forest on the west side of the camp. Although there were still sentries, the defense here was slightly weaker than other places. More importantly, there was an inconspicuous trail at the edge of the woods that led directly to the back of the camp, which should be the blind spot of the Japanese defense.

Duanwu pointed with his finger and lowered his voice, "It seems that our breakthrough point is there."

The one-eyed man nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Captain, let's make a feint to the east and attack in the west to attract their attention, and then take the opportunity to break in."

Duanwu shook his head and said, "This is not the way to conduct a night attack. I asked you to paint your faces black in order to intimidate the Japanese. The Japanese believe in ghosts and gods. Let's pretend to be ghosts tonight. Remember to turn off all the lighting equipment when you act."

"Yes!"

The one-eyed dragon took the order and immediately retreated to pass on the message.

At this time, Duanwu looked at Zhao Laonian behind him and said, "Laonian, your task tonight is very simple, play tricks. Don't you like singing opera? Sing tonight. Kill the devils while singing, and use all the tricks you use to get the new recruits."

Zhao Laonian narrowed his eyes slightly. Killing the Japs while singing and making them feel afraid, isn't this a bit too difficult?

But when he thought of his wife, Zhao Laonian suddenly had an idea: "Captain, don't worry, I, Zhao Laonian, will risk it all!"

"very good!"

Duanwu patted Zhao Laonian on the shoulder to show encouragement, and then he and Zhao Laonian slowly retreated.

However, the attack still has not started because Zhao Laonian needs to prepare some things.

If Zhao Laonian were to get serious, he would definitely be beyond your imagination.

And Duanwu saw this in him, otherwise he would not have brought him to this battle.

Zhao Laonian has many tricks up his sleeve, and they are particularly effective tonight.

Although the black troops fought bravely, I'm afraid they really can't play tricks.

So at this time, Zhao Laonian's role became prominent.

Especially his Beijing accent, he sings very well, and he can even compose lyrics on the spot, which is very valuable.

Therefore, Duanwu has high hopes for Zhao Laonian.

When he was young, Zhao Laonian came back and brought back a scarecrow from somewhere and also two masks.

Duanwu was very confused. Where did Zhao Laonian get these things in the middle of the night?
