Chapter 12: Take the county seat
"The purpose of your two battalions is to move the devils at the city gate, so that the cannonballs of squad leader Wang can fall on the turret."
"Yes, regiment commander", the two battalion commanders began to act, one left and one right, towards both sides of the county seat.
Inoue looked at the movements of the Eighth Route Army, and his face changed greatly: "Baga, the Eighth Route Army has divided its troops, artillery squad, you immediately go to the city wall and guard against the Eighth Route Army on both sides." ”
"Hi"
A detachment of devils returned to the county town with an artillery squad, and after boarding the city gate, it was divided into two parts.
"Hahaha, it seems that the devil's strength is really not much."
"Signal soldiers, you go and inform the two battalion commanders, just say that the plan is changed now, they will attack the main force, and the guerrillas will be responsible for containing the troops at the city gate."
"Yes, Captain."
When the signal troops left, the guerrillas began to attack, and Li Ping looked at the tongues of fire coming out of the two turrets, and his heart was ruthless, and he absolutely could not drag it out any longer.
"Regiment commander, we can't delay here, the devil's reinforcements are likely to come, I will suppress the heavy machine gun in the turret, and let Squad Leader Wang open fire." After Li Ping finished speaking, he ran to the side of the heavy machine gun and pulled the soldier who fired the gun away.
"Dada"
Li Ping's strength is very great, he can control the heavy machine gun without shaking too much, and the tongue of fire will tilt the bullet when staring at a turret.
"Okay, squad leader Wang, it's up to you now." , Regiment Leader Zhang looked at the turret suppressed by Li Ping, and immediately asked Squad Leader Wang to take action.
Squad Leader Wang advanced for a distance with three cannons, and everyone was covering for him.
"Boom Boom"
Three explosions sounded, and one turret began to collapse, and Li Ping looked at it and shifted the direction of the heavy machine gun to another turret.
"Okay, that's it." , Head Zhang laughed happily.
Squad Leader Wang and several people were crawling forward, and the well of the city gate watched a turret collapse, and his face changed greatly.
"Baga, keep an eye on the artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army, I can't let them blow up another turret, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, explosions sounded on both sides of the county, and a devil ran over in a panic: "Squadron leader, the city walls on both sides were blown open by the Eighth Route Army, and we can't hold on anymore." ”
"Baga, send a farewell telegram to the captain, and we are ready to die here."
"Hi"
The signal corps sent a telegram, and Inoue was murderous, drew his command knife, and shouted: "Kill." ”
The two battalions that rushed into the county immediately turned back to the city gate, and in the face of the Eighth Route Army attacking from front to back, Inoue sent out a desperate attack pace.
"Okay, rush in for me." , Regiment Commander Zhang saw that Inoue was killed, the puppet army had surrendered, and the turret had also been taken, and immediately rushed into the county with his troops.
Before he died, Inoue sent a farewell telegram, and Ichiro Hirahara, the captain of the devil brigade stationed on the main road of Ping County, received the telegram and became angry.
"Yaga, I can't hold out for a night, Inoue and Zhaiten are waste."
"Order the reinforcements and get them up to speed."
Ichiro Hirahara's heart was dripping with blood, those were two squadrons, his own garrison brigade was a reinforced brigade, and now the two squadrons were almost completely wiped out, and the position he was stationed in was too important to lose.
Thinking of this, he immediately called the brigade commander, put down the phone, and Hirahara Ichiro stared at the county town where Inoue and the others had an accident, revealing a murderous aura.
"Baga, it seems that the main activities of the Eighth Route Army are here, and it's time to clean them up again."
Ichiro Plains's plan Commander Zhang and the others didn't know, now that they had taken control of the county seat, Commander Zhang looked at the county town that had been defeated, and ordered loudly: "We have three hours, and in three hours we will retreat, and I will take everything we can to take away." ”
"Yes, regimental commander", the fighters quickly began to act.
Three hours later, Regiment Commander Zhang retreated with his troops and disappeared without a trace.
The reinforced devil squadron looked at the dead devils, their faces were gloomy, and in addition to the corpses, there was also the shadow of the Eighth Route Army.
"Baga, send a telegram to the captain, saying that we have regained control of the county seat, the Inoue Squadron and the Zaiteng Squadron have all been annihilated, and the Eighth Route Army has disappeared without a trace."
"Hi"
The devil is looking for traces of the Eighth Route Army on this side, and Commander Zhang on the other side has returned to Taiping Village with his troops.
Political Commissar Wang walked in with a smile on his face and said, "Regiment Commander, we have already counted the seizures. ”
"Five hundred and sixty rifles, one hundred and fifty damaged."
"Five shells were captured, thirty shells, and countless other ammunition."
"A total of 200,000 catties of grain were seized in the county seat, including military rations for devils, and some for investigating and punishing traitors."
"In terms of money, the 160,000 yuan in the ocean are all the ill-gotten gains of those traitors, and other finances are still being counted."
After Political Commissar Wang finished speaking, Head Zhang raised his head and asked softly, "What about our casualties?" ”
The political commissar looked sad and said softly: "The first battalion suffered more than 200 casualties, and the second battalion was about the same. ”
"The guerrilla casualties were very small, just over 20 people."
Regiment Commander Zhang took a deep breath, his eyes were red, and he looked at the political commissar and said with a wry smile: "In this way, more than half of my regiment has basically suffered casualties. ”
The political commissar nodded, he was not in a very good mood, and the head of the regiment Zhang thought for a while, and said to the political commissar: "You go and educate the puppet army of our captives and let them join our team." ”
"The puppet army company commander and above will be closed for a period of time, and their thinking needs to change."
Political Commissar Wang nodded, he knew that many people in the puppet army were veterans, as long as their thinking changed, they would definitely have a strong combat power.
"As for the guerrillas, let them be the independent third battalion of our regiment, and we will defeat the county town where the devils are stationed, and the devils will not allow us to have a good time."
After Commander Zhang finished speaking, the political commissar was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Regiment commander, the guerrillas were built by our superiors, and the purpose is to penetrate our sphere of influence into the people, and you will include Zhou Jie's guerrillas in the independent battalion, so ......?"
Before the political commissar finished speaking, Commander Zhang interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said softly: "Political commissar, I don't have such a purpose, the guerrillas will continue to be reorganized by Zhou Jie's partner Lao Wang in the future, as for Zhou Jie, he was originally a company commander, and now I will promote him to a level." ”
The political commissar laughed after hearing this, stared at Commander Zhang, and said with a smile: "I think you want to kill two birds with one stone, let's say that you still care about Li Ping's kid!" ”
Regiment Commander Zhang smiled awkwardly and said to the political commissar: "I am really optimistic about that kid, I have heard about the process of the battle, just look at the process of him driving away a regiment of puppet troops this time, his head is very good." ”
"For the rest of us, the first thought would be to set up a blocking position to fend off the enemy."
"But if you look at Li Ping's choice, he can grasp the psychological state of the puppet army and seize the initiative in his own hands."
"He's a good kid in command and can't be wasted."
After Commander Zhang finished speaking, the political commissar also nodded, and before he could speak, a telegraph operator walked into the room.
"The regiment commander, the political commissar, the brigade headquarters sent a telegram, and the matter is urgent."
