Chapter Fifty-Six: Cutting the Belly of the Fish with a Quick Knife
"Smack! …… Syllable! ”
At this time, half of the Lingqiu County was closed. The people didn't know exactly what was going on, but the occasional gunshots were enough to terrify them.
The speed at which the information spreads is astonishing, and when the people in the telegraph office are released, the news spreads like a germ, and in the process of spreading, some people inevitably mix some falsehoods into it. It can be said that half of the county has become panicked now.
"Master Zhang, these people inside are really fierce, the bullet is like having eyes! Let's spend it with them right here? ”
On the street in front of the telegraph office, the security regiment pulled up a series of barbed wire, piled up sandbags, and hid behind them, daring to stick out the barrel of a gun. At the back, a black pichu with gauze wrapped around his ears asked a burly officer beside him.
"What else can I do if I don't consume it like this? Hard attack? When we get in, how much will the brothers have to fold? When the time comes, Captain Xia will not tear me alive! This Xia regiment leader is too, he led half of the people to go to County Magistrate Fan's mansion to hide, leaving me in this top bag! ”
was asked by this person, Zhang Qing looked embarrassed. He is Xia Xiang's deputy, and he is also one of the few people in the security regiment who has been on the battlefield, but Zhang Qing, a "person who knows the soldiers", actually still has water, when the Central Plains War, Zhang Qing once followed Yan Xishan's troops out to fight, but he was wounded in the first battle and retreated. Later, the wound healed, and the battle was over.
As he was talking, a small soldier ran over, and at the same time brought a message from Xia Xiang, urging him to find a way to attack the telegraph office and deal with the people inside.
"The deputy head of the regiment, the county magistrate and the head of the Xia regiment said that they should exterminate the thieves inside as soon as possible, and if they can't do it, they will set fire to the telegraph office."
Listening to Xia Xiang's message, Zhang Qing's face was like eating Coptis chinensis, just for a while, this was the third time.
"Burn the telegraph office...... To put it simply, if it was really that easy, I would have burned it a long time ago, and the inside of the telegraph office is the elite of the eight roads! I don't believe that any bandit on the hill can have this marksmanship! There is no room for people to stand within twenty meters of the gate! Don't look at the silence now, as soon as they rush, they will shoot immediately, and the grenades will not be thrown in! ”
Zhang Qing complained, he was not afraid that Xia Xiang would hear what he could do, everyone was actually mixed under the hands of the Japanese and Fan Jianwen. The entire security regiment has been on the battlefield seriously, and he still has some ability, and Fan Jianwen is not too biased towards Xia Xiang, his wife and brother who has made several turns.
was choked by Zhang Qing like this, and Xiao Bing could only listen to it. After complaining, Zhang Qing smoothed out his anger.
"Okay, you go back and talk to the regimental commander, we'll do our best. After all, the brothers also want to earn those twenty oceans. ”
……
"Commander, Commander, the black dog has moved!"
On the second floor of the telegraph office, Lei Zi was looking across the road through the gap in the curtains. Seeing that the security group surrounding the opposite side seemed to be about to move, Lei Zi reported to Yue Siliang at that time.
"It seems that the other side can't sit still first, we have dozens of people and guns, and we have been guarding here, even if we don't do anything, it will be enough for them to panic."
Twisting the cigarette butt into the ashtray casually, Yue Siliang said with a light smile.
"Cheng Fei, how is it, is there a call back?"
The reason why Yue Siliang has been guarding here with people is to wait for a callback, the transfer of troops is a major event, and no matter what the final result is, there will definitely be a callback.
"Captain! Here it comes! Call back and forth! ”
Cheng Fei, who was guarding in front of the transmitter, was also very anxious, he had only been in the 424 regiment for less than a week, and he was really a little unsuitable for Yue Siliang's imaginative style of doing things, at this moment his heart was excited and excited in addition to nervousness.
"Read!"
Yue Siliang didn't say much, just spit out such a word, and at the same time picked up his Browning pistol.
"Yes."
Cheng Fei's tone was calm and a little strange, because he had already finished reading the call back from the regiment headquarters.
"Okay, it seems that the team has been assembled and is heading towards the county seat, so there is no need for us to guard this living coffin.
It will take an hour and a half to wait for the team to come over, so let's warm up the field first. Xiao Gao, you go and prepare the explosives pack, we should also go. ”
Yue Siliang said excitedly, tightened his cotton belt, and said to Xiao Gao, who was standing beside him.
"Commander, just say it! What about those black-skinned dogs outside?! ”
Lei Zi said with his fists, although he did not dare to exchange fire, but the security regiment also successfully set up an encirclement far away from the telegraph office, which means that they will collide with the security regiment no matter how much they want to break through in a while, Lei Zi clenched his fists and rattled, ready to shoot bullets into the enemy's skull at any time.
"If you say it, since you said that you want to find trouble with Fan Jianwen, you naturally have to go to him for trouble with Fan Jianwen! Pull strings! ”
"Okay!"
Lei Zi responded loudly, and a pair of big feet crackled down the stairs like two fans.
"Gao Chengming! Is the explosives bag installed? Ahead, prepare to retreat, save some bullets, don't waste it on the dead! Iron pillar, go upstairs and pull out a few nails around for me! You guys, come over to me......"
is like a tiger that is napping, Lei Zi is making arrangements resolutely, and at this moment he finally came up with the appearance of an elite platoon commander.
The layout of the first floor of the telegraph office is very simple, except for the hall where the transmitter is placed and the customers who come and go to take the telegram, that is, the porter on one side of the hall and a small suite at the end of the hall, this suite only has another staircase leading to the second floor, and the rest is the back door to go out.
"Bang!"
A kick opened the back door in the stairwell, and the second combat team hunched out.
The layout of the telegraph office is also very simple, outside this two-story small building is a small courtyard surrounded by a brick and stone iron fence, and outside the small courtyard are the buyers and sellers on the left and right and the residents behind the telegraph office. The only indication of the special status of the telegraph office is that the fence and the buildings on the left and right are half a meter empty.
"Smack! Syllable! ”
As soon as the first combat team stepped out of the back door and separated from the left and right, they heard several gunshots around them, and the four of them were alert at the time, and they hurriedly hid behind the stone pillars between the fences, their backs pressed against the wall, ready to return fire at any time.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ……”
However, the first group was not affected, and as soon as the gunfire outside rang out, the iron pillar guarding the second floor and the two combat teams threw a string of grenades crackling to the left and right. Several ambush points that had been fired at the first group were unplugged.
The security corps was not stupid, they had long considered that the guards platoon might escape through the back door, so in the middle of the confrontation, they cleared out several houses around the telegraph office and let the members of the security corps go in and set up an ambush.
It's a pity that the guard platoon didn't take them for fools, but they took the guard platoon for blindness. The arrangement of surrounding the telegraph office has long been clearly seen by Lei Zi and them, and the first thing they want to move from the back door is to remove the threat of the nearest circle, and they are guarding the second floor of the iron pillar, waiting for them to shoot on the left and right, and when the time comes, a large number of grenades will be thrown down, even if it is a shock, they will be killed.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ……”
With a barrage of Mauser pistol gunfire, and without the threat of the left and right, the first group began to fire fiercely back at the enemy hiding in the construction area behind the telegraph office. Then the second and third combat teams rushed out of the back door, each with a Mauser pistol with a butt in his hand, and one of them was equipped with 200 rounds of pistol ammunition, full of firepower.
"Fire! The Eighth Route Army in the telegraph office wants to escape! ”
As soon as he heard the gunshots from behind and the grenade explosions that appeared on both sides just now, Zhang Qing understood that the guard platoon was trying to get out of the back door, and immediately ordered the dozens of people guarding the front to attack the telegraph office.
With the order of the upper peak, and the temptation of the twenty oceans, the fear in the hearts of the soldiers was counteracted at that time, and one by one they attacked the gate of the telegraph office.
"Smack...... Smack......"
At that time, the soldiers felt the thinness of their firepower compared to Fang Cai, and the distance of twenty or thirty meters before could be called purgatory, and every step forward had to be tested by a series of bullets. It was only a brief confrontation before, and the security regiment had already killed and injured more than a dozen people, which was also the reason why Zhang Qing was reluctant to attack.
Rushing outside the fence of the telegraph office, dozens of small soldiers of the security regiment immediately made a diversion, some detoured along the fence to both sides, and some rushed straight to the gate of the telegraph office.
"Bang!"
A small soldier kicked open the door, and a crowd of people rushed in.
"Boom !!"
But before the dozen or so men had lifted their feet on the floor of the telegraph office hall, they heard an earth-shattering roar, and a blinding flash of fire exploded at the gate, followed by billowing smoke, accompanied by the pungent smoke of gunpowder and the smell of cooked meat.
It was the explosives pack that Kodaka's place before, and here Kodaka designed a mechanism that automatically pulled the lead as soon as the door was pushed open.
"This ...... They're so ruthless......"
Zhang Qing watched more than a dozen people being blown up in front of his eyes, and a dozen or so living people turned into more than a dozen black flesh and bones in a blink of an eye, and in the end, he only squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The thirty-odd men on either side of the telegraph office also did not get a bargain, and as soon as they showed up, a string of bullets rained down. The power of this explosive bag at the door was suitable, not light or heavy, killing more than a dozen people, but it didn't affect it too much. The soldiers managed to get out of the telegraph office in just a few breaths, and those security regiments who wanted to take advantage of it naturally couldn't please them.
More than 30 people had guns, and they didn't dare to take the lead, and when they thought of the dozen or so brothers who had just been blown up, they all retreated silently. Twenty oceans is good, but you also have to have a life flower!
Looking at the thirty or so people who retreated in embarrassment, Zhang Qing's face was ashen, and he didn't blame his subordinates. For the encirclement set up in the rear, Zhang Qing no longer expects them to be able to stop this group of eight roads, their combat effectiveness is unprecedented to him, whether it is the Central Army in the south, or the Jin Sui Army where he used to be, or Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, or even the Northeast Army once called the Northeast Tiger, he has never given him this kind of vigorous and resolute feeling!
At this moment, Zhang Qing was even ready to find another way.
"County Magistrate Fan, ask for more blessings...... Hope you survive from these people. ”
