1061. Hunt down the devil deserter

On the battlefield, weapons and ammunition are the second life of a soldier, and it is impossible to discard them until the last resort, let alone a devil.

On weekdays, the devil retreats or transfers, and he has to destroy the weapon, not leaving it to the middle **, not to mention that the entire gun and bullets are discarded on the side of the road.

Before Sangou's troops, even if they won the battle, they rarely had Japanese weapons and ammunition that matched the results, and when they cleaned up the battlefield, they were mostly faced with some rotten guns, parts were thrown everywhere, and bullets were buried in the ground or in water.

Even if you can pick up some good guns, many bolts will be destroyed, not to mention mortars and infantry guns.

Unless it is a sudden attack on the devils, and kill them all or quickly drive away the devils, so that they do not have the time and opportunity to destroy weapons and ammunition.

So every time in the war report, Sangou wrote a few sentences about the seized weapons, and the ** in that era was also very poor, as long as the weapons and ammunition were seized, the first thing was to secretly equip themselves, who still wanted to hand them in.

Unless you can't equip yourself, for example, if you have an infantry company, you can't keep mortars, heavy machine guns or even infantry guns when you catch them, and people will know at a glance that the infantry company is not equipped with these things.

Since you can't keep it, it's better to turn it in, and maybe you can get a little bounty, but this kind of opportunity is rare, and it is difficult for an ordinary infantry company to catch the devil's heavy machine gun mortar.

In the past, the Seventh Company of Sangou had so many opportunities, but it was also in the situation of great confusion in the main force, such as in Songhu and Nanjing, the Seventh Company often acted independently, and there was no way to hand over these weapons, either for their own use or on the spot.

Now it is different, at the battalion level, there are not many opportunities to act alone, and now the 74th Army has become a direct unit of the Military Commission, and it is impossible to run around.

The current Ninth Theater Command is located in Changsha, and the troops in the northern Jiangxi region are under the jurisdiction of General Luo Zhuoyin, deputy commander-in-chief, who is also the commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army.

The 19th Group Army is the backbone of the Civil Engineering Department, and Mr. Luo is also the head of the "Four King Kongs" under General Chen Cheng, the boss of the Civil Engineering Department.

Whether it is General Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth Theater, or General Luo Zhuoyin, deputy commander, they now regard the 74th Army as a treasure and regard it as the main mobile force in the theater, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the theater.

Except for the two of them, no one wants to mobilize the 74th Army, unless the Military Commission itself comes forward, but it has been rejected by the two of them many times.

These two Cantonese people at the same time, although there is a big difference in temperament, General Xue is a person from the Shaoguan Mountains, born in the mountains, and his temperament is like a mountain, and he is very strong.

General Luo is a native of Dapu, Meizhou, although it is also a mountainous area, but after all, it is closer to the sea, his temperament is much softer, and General Chen Cheng is a serious and rigid person in the civil engineering department, and when he encounters a lot of relationships that need to be dealt with, he sends General Luo to come forward.

It is precisely because of this that General Chen Cheng will let Luo Zhuoyin serve as Xue Yue's deputy, instead of letting Xue Yue be Luo Zhuoyin's deputy.

First of all, in terms of ability, General Xue will be a step higher, and in terms of temper, the chairman of the committee sometimes can't control Xue Yue, who is like a little tiger, and General Luo can't control General Xue.

On the other hand, from the perspective of human feelings, Chen Cheng was kind to Xue Yue, and Xue Yue was an active figure against Chiang back then, which made the chairman extremely disgusted, and without Chen Cheng's strong recommendation, there would be no chance for Xue Yue to turn over.

Therefore, Xue Yue will naturally have a reward for Chen Cheng and the civil engineering department, and he must have something to say for this deputy of a fellow from Guangdong.

Therefore, in the Ninth War Zone, the cooperation between the principal and deputy is quite harmonious, and most of the command in the northern Jiangxi region, Xue Yue let Luo Zhuoyin do it.

Even the troops directly under the Military Commission, the chairman's favorite 74th Army were handed over to Luo Zhuoyin to control, in addition to withstanding the attack of the Japanese army in the direction of Nanchang, it can be regarded as a return to the civil engineering department and Luo Zhuoyin.

Whether it is Xue Yue or Luo Zhuoyin, they all know that although the 74th Army is under them, they all know that this is the old man's favorite weapon, and it cannot be used indiscriminately, let alone let it suffer too heavy losses.

Therefore, the 74th Army is now generally used in a centralized manner as a division, as a mobile unit in the theater and in the mountainous areas of northern Jiangxi, swimming around, going wherever it is tight, and where it needs to attack fortified positions.

This makes middle and low-level officers like Sangou and them can only move around with the large army, and only in subtle local battles can they show their command skills.

Seeing that the Japanese army had lost their armor, Sangou decided that the devil's will to resist was almost gone, and at this time, he had to speed up the pace to chase, and once again pass the order down, and then catch up with the five-mile road.

The vanguard troops, especially the Eighth Company, pursued them all the way to Camel Mountain, and were about to reach Shangfu Town, when they gradually stopped, and everyone turned back and began to slowly search for the remnants of the enemy stragglers who had not had time to escape.

In the Black Gate Tower, which is close to the Nine Immortals Soup, it was found that there was a private house with devil soldiers, and at first a soldier from the Seventh Company searched over there and was about to open the door, but was put down with a shot.

As a result, everyone hurried over and surrounded the house, and everyone wanted to snatch the soldier who had been shot back for rescue, but found that there was more than one devil in the house, and several rifles were sticking out of the window and shooting at everyone to get close to the house.

How can this be reasonable, when has it been, this devil is still so arrogant, the commander of the seventh company only arrived, and first shouted to the devil in Japanese, meaning to put down his weapon and come out to ensure their safety.

But the devil didn't pay attention to Xiucai at all, and shot at Xiucai provocatively.

The devil is so rampant, he obviously looks down on the ** of us, besides, the soldier who was shot to the ground can't delay for too long, and if he misses the best time for treatment, he will lose a lot.

It's just that now everyone is running fast because of the pursuit of the enemy, and they don't bring heavy weapons, machine guns, or even grenades for the time being, just some bullets for rifles.

This also did not bother Xiucai, who asked five or six people to block the devil's window with rifles, aiming at the window and shooting from time to time, so that the devil did not dare to look up.

Then he sent for the wounded brother to be snatched, and by the way, he pulled out the bundles of firewood from under the eaves of the house, piled them up around the base of the wall of the house, and then set them on fire.

In the houses in the countryside of Jiangxi, many people like to bundle up the dried firewood, pile them under the eaves, and carry a bundle into the kitchen when they want to cook.

In this way, the firewood will not be left in the open air to be wet by the rain, but there is a hidden danger of causing fire, and often houses will be burned down like this.

Now Xiucai and they lit up the house, and the smoke was everywhere, rushing straight into the house, and the smoke made the devils cough constantly inside.

This house happens to be a single-family house, Xiucai told everyone to ambush around, and if a devil comes out, he will shoot them directly, no matter how much, if he doesn't come out, he will directly roast them to death.
