Chapter 7: The Embarrassed Jin Sui Army (1)
"Company commander, there's gunfire ahead."
Although the 6th Company suffered heavy losses before, during the period from the opening to Hunyuan, some new recruits were also recruited, from more than 50 people to more than 80.
Lehi's 2nd platoon also became 19 men, but unfortunately, there were only 11 guns, and the other 8 men used broadswords, spears, and hoes.
Well, he can't rob the landlords along the way, even if he robs, he may not be able to rob them, these landlords are very rich, so naturally they will not be stingy with that money, and the weapons are better than the regular army.
The same goes for bandits, so Lehi has nowhere to get weapons.
"Gunshots? Devil? Brigand? Or something else? ”
A lot of speculations flashed in the company commander's mind in an instant, there was no way, the current situation in Shanxi was very complicated, and as the pioneer of the regiment, he had to be careful.
The company commander's name is Li Xiangbei, and his name sounds more casual, so he has taken the first two words, and he is not called Li Xiangyang.
It's a pity that Li Xiangbei has nothing to do with Li Xiangyang.
Li Xiangbei is an old Red Army, a native of Xiangtan, Hunan, 30 years old this year, one of the old Jinggang Mountains, participated in the Northern Expedition in his early years, and then the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and the Central Red Army also participated in five anti-encirclement and suppression, not to mention the Long March.
It stands to reason that with such a rich resume, it will not take ten years to become a company commander, and Li Hai doesn't know why, but one thing he can be sure of is that he has suffered a loss from not reading.
I haven't read a book, and my own command ability is not outstanding, even if your superiors want to promote you, what can you do if you don't fight.
"Company commander, I think we should go and see, we have entered the territory of Hunyuan County, which is close to the Beitongpu line, and it is very likely that it is a devil." Lehi leaned over and suggested.
Looking at Lehi, who looked serious, he found that the other party seemed to have changed a lot, could it be that reading Kang Da was different? But he also read Kang Da.
"Okay, college student, you come with me. Instructor, you took the company fighters into hiding. The company commander instructed the instructor next to him, who was only a few years older than Lehi.
"Okay, company commander!"
The instructor nodded.
Soon, the company commander and Lehi each took a soldier and reached in the direction of the source of the gunshot.
The average altitude of the whole territory of Hunyuan County is quite high, except for the terrain around the county is relatively flat, the other areas are mountainous terrain, Beiyue Heng Mountain is in the territory of Hunyuan County.
The reason why the company commander was suspicious was because they were still in the mountains, and the devils shouldn't have come here, but when they came to the woods, they saw a small village, and there were dozens of devils wearing green 'Zhaogo-style' military uniforms outside the village attacking the village.
The reason why Lehi was so sure that the military uniform was the 'Shogo-style' was because the vertical banner, compared with the Meiji 38/45-style military uniform used by the Japanese army before, the 'Shogo-style' gave people the feeling of arrogance and conspicuousness.
"Company commander, who is this devil fighting? Actually dispatched a squad and ran so far? ”
A soldier next to him leaned over, a little surprised. They were located some distance from the village, and there was no way, and if they were too close, they would be easily spotted.
But it can still be roughly seen that the number of Japanese troops is not much, only about thirty, less than the number of a squad, but more than one detachment.
But it's very likely that it's a squad, but it's just lost, after all, there are still some devil corpses on the ground.
"It's Jin Suijun!"
The reason why Lehi was so sure was because in addition to the Japanese soldiers who fell on the ground, there were also soldiers in gray-blue military uniforms, and the gunfire in the village was all Type 38 rifles.
In Shanxi, two troops armed with Type 38 rifles at the same time fought here, it could not be a Japanese infighting, then there was only one possibility, the other side was the Jin Sui army.
Shaanxi, north of the Great Wall, did not have a central army at this time, and there were so many Type 38 rifle troops, it must have been the Jin Sui army. Because the Taiyuan Arsenal itself is producing Type 65 rifles (that is, Jin-made Type 38 rifles), who called Yan Laoxi is a Japanese graduate, and he is very keen on Japanese-style weapons, and the proportion of Japanese-style weapons in the Jinsui army is not low.
"You two stay and keep watching, be careful not to be noticed by the devil."
The situation in front of him is more tricky, no one expected that there would be Japanese troops here, either bypass or destroy this Japanese army.
When he returned to the company's rest place, the company commander called the instructor, the deputy company commander, and the four platoon commanders over to discuss what to do.
"The situation is very simple, there should be a Japanese squad chasing and fighting a Jinsui army in front, and it just happens to be stuck on the road we must pass, what do you think we should do?" The company commander looked at everyone.
It's definitely too late to ask the battalion headquarters for this matter, they are the vanguard responsible for opening the way, if they ask the battalion headquarters for everything, what kind of battle will they fight?
"Company commander, as I said, just bypass it. When we fought devils in Pingxingguan before, the Jin Sui army refused to reinforce them, what did we save them for? Moreover, there are more than 30 Japanese soldiers, and we have more than 80 people in the company, and a third of them do not have guns, how can we fight? ”
The deputy company commander should have an opinion on the Jin Sui Army, so he thinks that it is okay to sit idly by, and there is no need to put the company in order to save the Jin Sui Army.
The instructor shook his head, "No. What the Jin Sui Army did before was wrong, but now it is a period of all-out resistance against Japan, the Jin Sui Army is a friendly army, we can't see death without help, if the superiors know, we will all be punished. Moreover, these devils are in the way we must pass, and it is troublesome to change the road temporarily. ”
"I agree with the instructors." At this time, Li Hai did not keep a low profile, as the youngest person present, he did not show timidity, "Our regiment was ordered to go to the northwest of Hunyuan and Lingqiu to fight guerrillas, just to attract the attention of the Japanese army and prevent them from attacking the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army in front with all their might.
Now is the period of all-out resistance against Japan, no matter what happens to the Jin Sui army, we cannot see death without help, only in this way can we gain a foothold in Shanxi. ”
"The second platoon is long, and there are a lot of devils. Thirty or so devils are not something we can deal with even in our current state. The platoon leader worried.
The company commander also looked at Li Hai, "College student, what good can you do?" ”
Lehi muttered, "Yes, yes, but you have to plan it carefully." The deputy company commander and the platoon commander were right, more than 30 devils are indeed difficult to deal with, but they are not impossible to deal with.
There must be a lot of Jin Suijun in the village, otherwise they wouldn't have lasted so long, and the devil doesn't know that we are nearby, this is our chance.
We can go around behind the devil and attack the devil in three directions... ”
"Second platoon leader, we don't even have many people, and we are scattered...
Before the deputy company commander could finish speaking, the company commander interrupted him, "Let the second platoon commander finish." ”
Lehi continued, "We are not many people, but there are even fewer devils. They are going to attack the village at the same time, and they have to meet us, and if we attack from three directions, the devil's forces will be weakened, and we will have a better chance of winning. ”
The company commander glanced at Li Hai and said in a deep voice, "Just do what the second platoon commander said." ”
Since the strength of the 6th Company was the strongest in the 1st and 3rd platoons, there were about 50 people in the two platoons and more guns, so the main attack was these two platoons, and the 2nd and 4th platoons became the flank attack teams.
Although it was said to be a three-sided attack, it was also emphasized, and the two flanks were more focused on containing the attention of the Japanese army.
Although he did not win the main attack position, Lehi was not dissatisfied, his platoon was indeed not strong, and the flanks were honestly safer and more suitable for fishing in troubled waters.
"Platoon commander, this is too unfair, it's obviously the way you think, but you don't let us fight the main attack." Wang Shiyong, the third squad leader on the side, complained.
"What do you know? Hit the main attack on the undead? Li Hai gave the other party a blank look, and then instructed the people around him, "When the fight starts, give me some attention, our purpose is to grab the machine gun that looks like a Czech light machine gun."
Of course, everyone has to have a rifle in hand. As for the grenadiers and crooked handles, don't grab them, don't hear them. ”
"Platoon commander, why don't you grab the crooked handle, that's a good thing for devils." Deputy platoon commander Mao Hong was puzzled.
"How can there be so many why?" Lehi dissatisfied, "Just carry out the order!" ”
Crooked handles? There are other options, why would he want to be such a pit with a crooked handle? also regarded his company commander as a treasure.
With all 6 companies in place, the devils still did not notice that the Eighth Route Army appeared behind them, perhaps in their opinion, how could the Chinese army take the initiative to attack them.
And seeing the second lieutenant squad leader of the devil, Lehi's Type 38 rifle was already aiming, and the distance of 100 meters was enough to kill in an instant with his marksmanship.
。。。。。
"Commander, what should I do? There are fewer and fewer brothers, and if we continue to fight, we will all have to die here. ”
In the village, in the room of a large mansion in the center, a captain officer of the Jin Sui Army said to a wounded lieutenant colonel next to him.
In this compound, there are dozens of Jin Sui soldiers, and there are more than 100 people outside, and the Jin Sui army, which adds up to nearly 200 people, is actually surrounded by more than 30 devils in this village, which is called an irony.
This Jin Sui Army was subordinate to the 61st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and their commander was Li Fuying, the one who Yan Laoxi shot on the grounds that the battle was unfavorable.
Due to the unfavorable defense of the 61st Army, the strategic location of Tianzhen was lost, and the 61st Army was also defeated on all fronts. The Jin Sui army in front of him was one of the troops that was dispersed by the Japanese army after withdrawing from Datong, and this lieutenant colonel was the deputy regiment commander and retreated to Hunyuan with more than 300 people.
As a result, I was not very lucky, and I met the devils, and although there was only one team, I scattered them and fled.
More than 300 people, except for those who fled and died in battle, there were less than 200 people left in front of them, and the devils also lost more than a dozen people.
But even so, the devils still surrounded and fought these Jin Sui troops who were several times their own.
The weapons of the Jin Sui army were actually not bad, and in the Chinese Jun team at this time, they were second only to the Central Army. But they lost the courage to fight, and they were beaten so badly by a squadron of devils.
The battle loss ratio is almost ten to one, which is really embarrassing to say.
