Chapter 335: Frontal Defeat
When Zhao Gang rushed to the Drum Tower with the guard squad, he found that the brigade commander was still there.
Zhao Gang was anxious and said, "Brigade Commander, why haven't you left yet?" Hurry up. ”
The brigade commander burned the documents unhurriedly, and asked Zhao Gang: "The rest of the grain has been distributed?" ”
"There's no time left." Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "We simply opened the warehouse and let the people in the city take it for their own use, anyway, not a grain of grain can be left for the devil." ”
"What about the 358th regiment?" The brigade commander asked again, "Did you withdraw?" ”
"It's been withdrawn." Zhao Gang nodded and said, "The brigade headquarters has not been withdrawn." ”
While the two were talking, the brigade commander had already burned the already small number of documents, and said, "Zhao Gang, you check again to see if there is anything missing." ”
"Brigade Commander, let's go, I'll check."
After speaking, Zhao Gang asked the guard squad behind him to protect the brigade commander and leave.
After the brigade commander left, Zhao Gang checked the inside and out of the drum tower again to make sure that there were no useful documents left, and then left the drum tower and turned over and came to the locked door.
As a result, as soon as they arrived at the city gate, two plainclothes suddenly appeared in the alley next to them.
Fortunately, Zhao Gang's reaction was also practiced, and when he saw the shell gun in the hands of the plainclothes, he instinctively hid in a kick.
only heard two gunshots from the horn, and the war horse under Zhao Gang's crotch was shot and fell to the ground in a moment, but Zhao Gang escaped by luck, and then used the fallen war horse as a cover to shoot at the two plainclothes.
One magazine was quickly fired, but when the magazine was replaced, it jammed.
Seeing this, the two plainclothes on the opposite side immediately outflanked them on the left and the right.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the city gate, and then a cavalry rushed in like a gallop, and the first horse with a body of blood was the cavalry battalion commander Sun Desheng.
Sun Desheng saw Zhao Gang at a glance, and immediately yelled: "Kill!" ”
Seeing that the momentum was not right, the two plainclothes turned around and tried to escape, but it was too late.
In the blink of an eye, Sun Desheng had already caught up with him, slashing left and then right, and the two plainclothes heads fell to the ground, turning into two headless corpses lying on the street of Dabeimen.
"Commissar, get on the horse and follow us, the devil will be there when he speaks."
Sun Desheng said as he motioned to his subordinates to bring a military horse.
Seeing that it was a redundant military horse, Zhao Gang was not polite, and quickly turned over and got on the horse.
When he left the city gate, Zhao Gang asked, "What about the other soldiers in the cavalry battalion?" That's all there is left? ”
"How is that possible?" Sun Desheng said, "The cavalry companies of the new 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment have all been rebuilt. ”
"The 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Companies, the Machine Gun Company, and the Mounted Artillery Company, I have asked them to go to the direction of Dongluo Town, and I specially went into the city to meet you."
Zhao Gang immediately heard that something was wrong, and asked, "What about the 1st Cavalry Company?" ”
Sun Desheng's face darkened: "All of them were sacrificed, including Lao Cao." ”
Zhao Gang sighed softly, and said, "What about the people of the transport team?" Is it a safe transfer? ”
"Most of them have already passed Gujiao County." Sun Desheng nodded and said, "And after the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is broken, you can rest assured that the political commissar, otherwise the brigade commander will not let our cavalry battalion be built." ”
Zhao Gang said: "Since this is the case, I, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, should also be rebuilt." ”
"Commissar, don't go." Sun Desheng said, "You better follow the brigade commander." ”
"Nonsense." Zhao Gang flatly refused, "I am the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, of course I have to go with the Independent Regiment." ”
Sun Desheng didn't persuade anymore, and he also hoped in his heart that Zhao Gang, the political commissar, could stay with everyone.
……
The independent regiment concentrated 4 75mm mountain guns, 5 37mm rapid-fire guns, and 33 mortars to bombard the positions of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army for more than a quarter of an hour!
In less than twenty minutes, at least more than 1,000 shells of various kinds were fired!
This is almost all the reserves of the artillery battalion, which were basically wiped out at one time.
In the end, whether it is a mountain artillery, rapid-fire gun or mortar, the barrel is hot and red.
As soon as the artillery stopped, more than 500 soldiers of the 4th Battalion, under the leadership of Zhang Dabiao, jumped out of the trenches one after another and launched a tidal charge against the disastrous Japanese positions on the opposite side.
Immediately behind the 4th Battalion were three more battalions and their direct teams.
The huge attack formation composed of more than 3,000 commanders and fighters of the independent regiment was like a sledgehammer, smashing heavily into the defensive position of the Japanese 3rd Brigade Headquarters.
Looking at the main force of the regiment that had left in the dust, Yu Chengzhu shed tears.
An artilleryman whispered: "Battalion commander, it's time for us to go." ”
"Roll the calves!" Yu Chengzhu roared, wiped his tears and said, "It's blown up, it's all blown up, leaving 9 82mm Jinzao mortars, and the rest of the guns are all blown up!" ”
The soldiers of the artillery battalion took out the 50-petal melon grenades they had prepared in advance.
Knocking the fuse, and then stuffing it through the muzzle, only a tom-tom sound was heard.
Looking back, I saw that the barrels of the four mountain guns and more than 20 mortars were blooming.
The remaining 5 37mm rapid-fire guns were also blown into scrap iron lumps by a 5-pound explosive pack placed under the base.
……
At this time, the commando of the 4th Battalion was already like a sharp three-edged army thorn, stabbing into the heart of the 3rd Brigade, that is, the brigade headquarters of Maori Suhiro.
The brigade headquarters of the devil is actually very easy to identify.
The one with the highest antenna is accurate.
The Wolf Tooth Squad had already determined the location of Maori's brigade headquarters early on.
Therefore, the assault of the 4th Battalion also came directly towards the brigade headquarters of Mori Suehiro.
This is also Li Yunlong's consistent style, if you don't make a move, you will go straight to the point as soon as you make a move, and you will be killed directly!
In order to tear apart the defensive line in the shortest possible time, Zhang Dabiao concentrated 20 light machine guns and 30 submachine guns and rushed in the direction of the Devil Brigade Headquarters.
In the face of the ferocious automatic fire of the independent regiment, the Japanese could not parry at all.
Because in the shelling just now, the Japanese lost most of their machine-gun firepower, and as a result, an infantry squadron in front was crushed at once.
After breaking through the first line of defense, the 4th Battalion continued to rush forward and fight fiercely.
The 1st and 3rd Battalions, which quickly followed, tore along the gap to the sides and continued to widen the gap.
Then the 2nd Battalion, as well as the guard company, the communications team, the health team, and the artillery battalion, continued to pour into the positions of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army along the gap.
Under the onslaught of the independent regiment, the 8th Independent Infantry Brigade, which remained in the brigade headquarters, was quickly overwhelmed and showed signs of total collapse.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Iimura Futsuo quickly ordered the guard squadron to escort Mori Suehiro to transfer.
It's a pity that it's too late, because Zhang Dabiao has already rushed over with a surprise killing.
With only one burst of firepower, half of the guard squadron at the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade fell in an instant, and the brigade commander Mori Suehiro and the chief of staff Iimura Futsuo were also beaten into a sieve.
The 3rd Brigade was also crushed head-on!
