Chapter 553: Crushing the Kobayashi Brigade 2
The morning light crept into the plains.
In the county seat of Thanh Hoa Town, the sound of gunfire is sparse, and the sound of shouting has rolled away to the east.
The Chinese army of more than 2,000 people chased after the devil troops, and pursued them relentlessly.
Gradually seeing Lierao's traces clearly, the Chinese officers and soldiers were extremely excited.
These people, who have been bullied and slaughtered by the devils, and have a deep hatred for the devil's blood, have finally found a moment for revenge.
Every Chinese soldier chased after him bravely.
Long-term malnutrition has made them very poor, and some people are running and falling, fainting.
And some are constantly shooting.
The enemy is in front of him, and if you shoot at will, you may hit the enemy.
After all, the Japanese army was a seasoned regular army, and in the process of rout, it also constantly organized and blocked the attack.
The Chinese officers and men were overly attacked, lacked vigilance against the enemy's counterattacks, and were constantly killed and wounded by the enemy in large numbers.
Sometimes, a dozen soldiers were shot and fell by a single machine-gun fire.
However, the Chinese troops shook the devils with a ferocious chase.
Moreover, the Chinese officers and soldiers were outnumbered, and after a burst of random gunfire, the machine gunners of the devils were shattered.
The Japanese army was fast, with short legs like rabbits, and swished away.
Soon, it left the county seat more than 2,000 meters.
The Japanese breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a mound appeared in front of me.
This is something that the Japanese army had never seen when they came.
The Japanese army was stunned: "Huh? ”
In the morning light, the Japanese army panicked, and when they came to the front, they saw clearly.
was in a daze, suddenly, a shout, from behind the mound, the simple and excited faces of countless Chinese officers and soldiers emerged.
That was the first line of defense of the Chinese army!
An infantry battalion, more than four hundred people, at a distance of a kilometer, suddenly appeared and fired fiercely at the enemy.
The machine guns formed crossfire, and boiling water poured on the devil's head as if it were an ant's nest.
The battalion commander personally shouted, gave the order, and several hundred fighters shot together.
More than 200 remnants of the Japanese army fell immediately.
However, the devil is not easy to mess with, so he immediately charged.
In the vague morning light, the Japanese army's fierce assault, infiltration, and brutally killed the Chinese soldiers on the curtain, broke through the defensive line, and fled.
The Chinese officers and soldiers did not care, while searching and killing the devils who fell to the ground, raising knives and guns at the same time, completely killing them, and on the other hand, shooting in the direction where the enemy fled.
Marksmanship is not good, but there are many people and many guns.
There was a burst of gunfire, and the devils could escape, but there were only fifty or sixty people.
The devil escaped more than 1,000 meters, thinking that he had escaped from the trap, and breathed a sigh of relief, when suddenly, there was a loud gunfire in front of him, and bullets flew like locusts.
At this time, the color was already clear, the devil was cunning, and when he saw the ridge, he immediately dodged.
Even so, more than a dozen devils were killed.
The ridge is the excess soil dug by the soldiers in the trenches, which was originally caused by the gap between the trench and the trench blockade ditch at night, and the devils who made traps and pits, but now, it is clear, but it is easy to expose themselves.
No matter what, the devil can't escape.
At this time, Han Feng's pursuers had already chased over.
Seeing that there was no way to advance or retreat, the devils cried a few times and committed suicide one after another.
The Hanfeng forces finally wiped out the enemy.
The captain of the Japanese infantry brigade was Lin, so it was the Lin brigade.
There were more than 1,200 devils in this brigade, and all the troops were wiped out, and not a single one of them escaped the net.
Several square kilometers of ground were littered with weapons, ammunition and corpses discarded by Japanese troops.
After the troops were spread out, Han Feng could no longer command.
Only signal corps can be dispatched to remind the regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and company commanders to quickly clean up the battlefield.
More than a moment later, the whole army completed its mission and returned to Thanh Hoa City.
More than 4,000 officers and men lined up outside the city in accordance with the unit structure to check the casualties.
It turned out that after the Ming Dynasty, a large number of villagers participated in the cleaning task and joined the army one after another.
In the battle that began in the early morning, the total casualties of the Hanfeng army were more than 50 people, and more than 100 people were wounded.
More than 700 villagers joined the army on their own.
Hanfeng was overjoyed.
Han Feng was on the city wall, condescending, and spoke to the officers and soldiers, who were solemn and morale high.
More than 1,000 guns of various kinds were seized and replenished the troops, and at this time, almost everyone in the troops had firearms.
There are just not many bullets.
Han Feng temporarily organized the troops into an independent brigade of the People's Army, divided into a supplementary regiment, two infantry regiments, an artillery battalion, and a tank battalion.
Convene a meeting to discuss next steps.
The regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and company commanders were respectful to Han Feng: "Commander, you, you are what you are." ”
"Commander, follow you, our family's revenge! Woo, I'm so happy, Commander, you are the great benefactor of our family! ”
"Commander, we should take advantage of the victory and pursue!"
The officers and men expressed their views and actively fought the main battle.
Han Feng had other plans.
The sudden expansion of the army requires the most basic training.
Although there are many guns, ammunition is scarce, and it is not possible to attack rashly.
He ordered the troops to rest on the spot, train hard, and wait for the opportunity.
The next goal is to capture the three county towns in the east and finally conquer the new elephant city.
The officers and men were full of vigor and immediately threw themselves into training.
The troops were stationed separately around the county town of Thanh Hoa.
Now, there are still many problems that need to be solved.
There are not enough bullets, there are not enough shells, there is not enough training, and food is a big problem.
And military pay!
More than 5,000 food and clothing, it's not a problem, he doesn't have a little reserve, what should he do?
The people whose fighting spirit has been aroused, it is inconvenient to cut them home, which will hit the morale of the officers and soldiers, and in addition, it is not appropriate to pull the troops away and rest at a safe distance from the evacuaters, because the villagers are relocated to their land and are only willing to be stationed in the local area, and once they have to march long distances and leave their hometowns, the morale of the army may be unstable.
Han Feng decided to return to Yewang and Mengzhou by himself, go to Zha Pei, and contact the headquarters of the commander of the theater to solve these problems.
After arranging the personnel of the troops, Han Feng immediately led a cavalry platoon to leave here and return to Yewang City.
The wind was galloping, the war horses were hurrying, and the defenders of Yewang City saw Han Feng and others coming, and hurriedly welcomed them.
As the officers and soldiers welcomed them, the people who had returned came to watch.
The commander of the defending company shouted to everyone: "This is the famous Commander Hanfeng, he took us and defeated the devil!" ”
The people soon flocked to see Han Feng's demeanor.
The glory of being admired is really indescribable.
The Chinese people are really good.
However, to Han Feng's surprise, as soon as he arrived here, he received a report from the antelope.
The telegraph operator was a stranger, and it turned out to be a person sent by Commander Pei.
The devil's troops retreated south, suffered heavy losses in Yewang City, and retreated in embarrassment, and this news was soon known to Commander Pei.
Commander Pei also led the troops and returned to Gudan Town.
Han Feng immediately rushed to Gudan Town.
However, halfway through, on the banks of the Dalong River, I encountered it.
Commander Pei led a company of cavalry troops, with smoke and dust, and was majestic.
Dozens of meters away, Commander Pei shouted Han Feng's name loudly, jumped off his horse, and rushed over.
"Junza, Junza, help, help."
