Chapter 408: Beijing Strategy (4)

The forward outpost of the Japanese army is to build a square enclosure with sandbags on both sides of the railway line, leaving only an exit about 1 meter wide and about 1.5 meters high, the Japanese army is divided into two groups, stationed in two sandbag enclosures, and between the two sandbag enclosures, there is a rectangular horse made of log horizontally, blocking the railway line.

However, at this time, a fire was lit in each of the two sandbag enclosures, and the Japanese soldiers sat around the fire to warm up, and there were kettles on the fire, and a few rabbits and rice balls caught during the day were roasted on the fire, and occasionally only one or two Japanese soldiers showed their heads, looked around, and then sat down again.

It's the coldest season of the year, and the temperature tonight is estimated to be around minus 10 degrees, and although it can't be said to be freezing water, it's also extremely cold, and it's hard to get through without a fire to keep warm and boil a little boiling water to drink. The Japanese soldiers who kept vigil often brought some food, and sometimes a few game, which they kept for the vigil. And the officers of the Japanese army also turned a blind eye to this, because the vigil in this season is also quite a hard thing, and now there is not much pressure on Beijing, so there is no need to manage it so tightly.

The water in the pot has been boiled, steaming, and the rabbit and rice balls are almost roasted, the aroma is overflowing, the Japanese soldiers laugh with each other, and sing a few folk songs from their hometown from time to time, while drinking water and eating meat, in this cold winter night, it is also quite comfortable. However, although the Japanese army was lax, they did not get carried away, and still remembered the task of vigil, otherwise they would all sleep, so from time to time they would arrange for people to stand up and look around.

In fact, in this almost dark night, the visual distance is no more than 50 meters, and there is nothing to be seen at all.

At this time, in the sandbag enclosure on the side, a Japanese soldier finished eating the baked rice balls, stretched a stupid waist, got up forward, looked left and right, in fact, he couldn't see anything, only saw a Japanese soldier standing up in the sandbag enclosure opposite, the two glanced at each other, and when they were about to say hello, they only heard "bang bang", In the depths of the darkness, there was a burst of intensive gunfire, and I saw the head of the Japanese soldier who had just stood up in the sandbag fence on the opposite side tilted his head and pounced on the sandbag.

The Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly shrank their heads and squatted down, and at this time, the gunfire was as dense as the sound of bursting beans, and the other Japanese soldiers were also a little panicked, shouting "there is an enemy" and "the enemy is coming", while hurriedly picking up their weapons and preparing to return fire.

A Japanese soldier raised his rifle and stood up from behind the sandbag, and was about to look in the direction of the enemy, when he suddenly tilted his head, fell on his back into the sandbag, and knocked over half of the pot of boiling water that was burning on the fire.

At this time, all the Japanese soldiers did not dare to take their heads easily, and they all shrunk their necks and hid behind the sandbags, listening to the continuous flying of bullets overhead, and the sound of "porphyry" when bullets hit the sandsuit. And I wondered how the enemy aimed and shot in this dark night.

Suddenly, a Japanese soldier suddenly understood and shouted, "The fire, put out the fire." As he spoke, he raised his leg and kicked down the bucket by the fire, and the water in the bucket flowed out, but unfortunately it was kicked a little crookedly, and although the fire was half doused, it was not completely extinguished.

At this time, the other Japanese soldiers also reacted, although the fire was in the sandbag fence, but the firelight far exceeded the height of the sandbag, in this dark night, it could be seen clearly from a distance, so the enemy could naturally aim and shoot. After figuring this out, the Japanese soldiers hurriedly rushed to put out the fire. Only then did the squad leader of the Japanese army react and hurriedly sent out a signal flare to inform the Japanese troops at the railway station that there was an enemy night attack.

The Japanese soldiers were busy for a while before they basically extinguished the fire, and they were about to raise their guns to fight back, but at this moment, they saw a few "rubbing" sounds, and more than a dozen black shadows had already stood on the sandbags and shouted: "Don't move, raise your hands." It turned out that the other side suppressed the Japanese army with powerful firepower, and on the other hand, sent people to secretly force the Japanese army's outposts.

Although they spoke Chinese, the Japanese soldiers had been in China for more than half a year, and they could understand a few words of Chinese and understand what this meant. If it was a soldier from another country, they would honestly abandon their guns and surrender at this time, but unfortunately the Japanese have always only broken jade and will not surrender, so not only did they not give up their guns and surrender, on the contrary, two Japanese soldiers shot back, and several Japanese soldiers did not have time to open the safety bolt of the rifle, so they simply picked up the rifle and threw it at the other party.

However, the other party is not a vegetarian, as soon as he saw that the Japanese soldiers did not abandon their guns, but there was a strange movement, they were unceremonious, and immediately opened fire.

In fact, in less than 1 minute, the KPA took down the outpost of the Japanese army, and 14 Japanese soldiers were completely annihilated, while only 3 KPA soldiers were wounded.

Luo Yue immediately reported the results of the battle to the two trains, and at the same time moved away from the horses blocking the railway, and let the three wounded stay, and led the other soldiers along the railway line to attack the Tongzhou Railway Station.

However, at this time, the Japanese troops stationed at the Tongzhou Railway Station had already been alarmed, even if the Japanese troops at the outpost did not send out signal flares, but they were only separated by more than 1,000 meters, and the gunfire could be heard very clearly. Therefore, the soldiers who were on the night vigil immediately raised their spirits, set up their rifles on the various bunkers that had been built, and prepared for battle, while the soldiers who were still asleep were also woken up, dressed and armed with guns, rushed out of the dormitory, and immediately began to build a defensive line.

And at this moment, only listen to the "boom boom boom", in the Tongzhou railway station, there were explosions continuously, some occurred on the railway, some occurred on the platform, although the power of these explosions is not too great, but because of the large number, and very dense, so it still caused a certain amount of damage to the Japanese army, a moment of fire flashed from time to time, as if lightning, the entire railway station was illuminated.

Luo Yue stood behind a big tree about 300 meters away from Tongzhou Railway Station, watched the fire in the railway station flicker, nodded, and said on the walkie-talkie: "Company Commander Zhou, you fought well." ā€

And a voice also came from the walkie-talkie: "This is a small meaning, Battalion Commander Luo, do you want to come again." ā€

Luo Yue said: "No need now, I will inform you when I need you." ā€

It turned out that the round of strikes just now was three 47mm Haqikaisi rapid-fire guns assigned to the firepower reinforcement company of the 1st battalion.

In fact, the 47mm Haqikes rapid-fire gun was originally a weapon developed for the navy, which was used to engage the two ships at close range, or to hit the soldiers on the deck of the enemy ship with a high rate of fire when attacking the small boat close to the side of the ship, so a large number of 47mm Haqikes rapid-fire guns were installed on the warships of this era. However, with the continuous expansion of the distance of naval warfare, the 47mm Haqikaisi rapid-fire gun is too close in range, only 4000 meters, in fact, it has become more and more chicken in naval warfare, and it has completely failed to achieve the original intention of designing this type of rapid-fire gun, but because of the light weight of this type of rapid-fire gun, the total weight is only more than 200 kilograms, which is more carryable, and the rate of fire is fast, the power is large, but it has gradually been widely used in the army.

In addition to capturing a large number of 47mm Haggaeth rapid-fire guns from the German Far East Fleet, the traversers also dismantled all the 47mm Haqikes rapid-fire guns on the salvaged warships and assembled them for the army.

At present, the 47mm Haqikaisi rapid-fire gun of the firepower reinforcement company is currently the most lethal weapon in Luo Yue's hand, so after occupying the forward outpost of the Japanese army, he immediately set up the 47mm Haqikaisi rapid-fire gun in the same place and first launched an artillery bombardment on the Tongzhou Railway Station.

Although the explosive lethality of the 47mm Haqikaisi rapid-fire cannon shell is not large, it is better because of the fast rate of fire and dense firepower, and the Japanese army did not build a very strong and tight fortification in Tongzhou, but only piled up some sandbags, and also used some carriages, low walls of the platform, etc., and the power of the 47mm Haqikaisi rapid-fire gun is small, but it is also a cannon, and the lethality is much greater than that of ordinary rifles, so it still caused a certain lethality to the Japanese army.

At the same time as the firepower reinforcement battalion launched an attack on the Japanese army, Luo Yue also commanded the soldiers of the whole battalion to approach the Tongzhou Railway Station. Because the traversers had carefully reconnoitred the terrain of the Tongzhou Railway Station in advance, they were very familiar with the environment in this area, and knew that those places could be used as cover to arrange positions, so they quickly set up positions in the area 200-300 meters away from the Tongzhou Railway Station, and immediately launched fierce fire on the Japanese positions after the shelling.

Although it was in the dark of night, a burst of shelling in front had already ignited more than a dozen fires of various sizes at the Tongzhou railway station, so this also gave the KPA soldiers enough obvious targets to shoot in the direction of the fire. However, the Japanese army obviously did not have this obvious guidance, and could only judge the enemy's position and shoot by the sound of gunfire, and the hearing was obviously unreliable and unreliable, so the Japanese army's counterattack force was much worse, and it was basically suppressed by the people's army.

However, after all, it was fighting in the dark of night, relying only on a little firelight, which could only provide a general direction for the People's Army, and after all, the People's Army had only been established for a few months, and the quality of individual soldiers and the level of shooting were far inferior to those of the Japanese army, which had received systematic training, and the number of Japanese troops was not much less than that of the People's Army, so although the Japanese army was suppressed, it was not completely powerless to fight back. Moreover, as the mood of the Japanese army gradually stabilized, more and more soldiers participated in the battle, and the intensity of the counterattack became more and more intense, and after about 30 minutes of mutual fire between the two sides, the Japanese army basically turned the situation back, and the two sides were generally evenly matched.

It's just that except at the beginning, after the KPA launched a wave of suppressive shelling, there was no shelling of the Japanese defense line, so the KPA still maintained enough cards.
