Chapter 231: Battle of Nanchang (13)
As soon as Kotaro Fukuda died, the Japanese soldiers who had been beaten suddenly collapsed and began to flee in all directions, so that the scene was even more chaotic, because of the small location, the dense machine gun bullets on both sides of the road were spilled out like no money, most of the Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot, and the whole street was full of limbs and broken arms and flesh and blood, and the scene was unbearable.
In the face of such a bloody scene, some Japanese soldiers were terrified, threw away their weapons, lay on the ground with their hands raised, and shouted the slogan of surrender in their mouths, but the attackers seemed to ignore them at all, and still fired bullets frantically at them, and in less than two minutes, the Japanese army of more than 1,000 people, except for a few about 200 Japanese soldiers who fell behind the team, frantically fled to the lake, the rest were wiped out.
In the dark, Li Hu looked at the Japanese soldiers who were wiped out on the street in front of him, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately gave the order to stop firing. A special combat soldier ran over from behind him and said, "Captain, there are hundreds of Japanese soldiers fleeing in the direction of the lake, and Deputy Captain Li Kuan has already led people to chase after them." ”
Li Hu nodded and said, "Very good, we blocked the road to the north here, and they can't run out." By the way, how is it in the county, Captain Tao, have they already taken the devils in the county? ”
The special operator said, "It's already taken." Previously, the Japanese army only left less than 50 Japanese soldiers in the city, and more than 200 puppet soldiers, and more than 200 people in Captain Tao, plus the weapons we supported and the special combat team members sent to help, if it weren't for attracting devils, it wouldn't have taken so long. ”
It turned out that after Li Hu led the special combat team to cross Poyang Lake and landed at Xiyazui in Duchang County, he quietly cleared several Japanese puppet army strongholds set up on various communication arteries along the way, and when he walked to Dashu Township, not far from Duchang City, he happened to meet Tao Jiaqing, the captain of the No. 5 Squadron of the Second Jiangxi Security Regiment, and he was leading his subordinates to prepare to attack the Japanese stronghold outside the east gate of Duchang.
After finding out the situation, Li Hu immediately sent someone to contact him, and the two sides met and reported to each other's homes, Tao Jiaqing heard that the person who came was the famous gendarmerie regiment directly under him, and he couldn't help himself with excitement, and even said that "Duchang is hopeful." It turned out that since the Japanese army attacked Duchang, the Jiangxi Second Security Regiment had fought several battles with it, but because of the low equipment of the troops and the scattered personnel, most of the time they were about to collapse with the Japanese army, and the personnel fled with death, and even their regiment commanders ran away, and some even directly defected to the Japanese to become traitors, but Tao Jiaqing firmly led the fifth squadron of less than 200 people, and carried inferior weapons to fight the enemy near Duchang. In history, the captain named Tao Jiaqing, when Duchang and the Japanese army were maneuvering, encountered the Japanese army's encirclement, Tao Jiaqing was not afraid of the brave resistance, killed more than ten enemies, in the case of several bullets in the body, still bravely killed the enemy, and finally fell to the ground with exhaustion, shouted "China will not die", and died bravely!
After understanding the situation, Li Hu admired Tao Jiaqing very much, and immediately donated all the weapons of the Japanese puppet army that were about to be collected all the way to Tao Jiaqing and his subordinates. Knowing that the defenders in the city were empty, Li Hu had an idea, and even decided to send ten special combat personnel to cooperate with Tao Jiaqing's troops to make a feint attack on Duchang County, so as to attract the Japanese army to come to the rescue. He himself led the special combat team on a rapid march all the way, lurking on the way back to the city, which led to the beautiful ambush of the Japanese army before.
Moreover, when Li Hu heard that the county seat had been taken, even if he commanded the troops to disperse and defend, in addition to some of the Japanese troops who pursued the west, some of them were placed on the only way for the Japanese army to flee north, and the rest were all sprinkled to the area north of Duchang, so as to prevent the Japanese army in the north from coming to the rescue after receiving the news. However, fortunately, most of the Japanese troops are now on the west bank of Poyang Lake, and except for a small number of garrisons in the Japanese-occupied areas such as Hukou and Pengze, there is no risk in the short term.
After doing all this, Li Kuan from the west came with news that the fleeing Japanese army had been blocked in the Chenjiawan area north of Jiannao Peak, and had been wiped out at this time.
Li Hu immediately sent a telegram to Bai Fei and informed him of all this.
Bai Fei was overjoyed after receiving the telegram, at this time it was only two hours before the shelling of the Japanese artillery position on the east bank of Poyang Lake, and the special combat team waded across the lake in such a short period of time, not only recovering the county seat of Duchang, but also the Japanese troops stationed in Duchang were wiped out, and the efficiency was not insignificant. So he immediately ordered people to prepare boats to cross Poyang Lake and came to Duchang County.
Li Hu and others of the special combat team and Tao Jiaqing, captain of the fifth squadron of the Second Jiangxi Security Regiment, learned that Bai Fei was coming, and personally went to the shore to greet them.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and everyone walked all the way, and everywhere they went, there was a cry of wearing linen and wearing filial piety everywhere in Duchang City.
Bai Fei knew that those who cried bitterly were the families of victims whose relatives were brutally murdered by the Japanese army. Tao Jiaqing sighed beside him: "These plague-stricken little Japan, who have occupied Duchang for just a few days, don't know how many beastly deeds they have done that people and gods are angry about, they really pity the people of Duchang..."
When Bai Fei heard this, he also sighed lightly and did not speak.
Tao Jiaqing said: "Fortunately, now that the regiment directly under the Central Military Police under the leadership of General Bai has overcome Duchang, those damned Japanese have also suffered due retribution, and it can be regarded as avenging the unjust and tragic death of the people of Duchang." ”
Bai Fei said: "Captain Tao, let's not hide it, although we have eliminated the Japanese army in Duchang now, but this is just a small fight, once the Japanese army moves south, Duchang is close to the enemy-occupied area, and it is located in an open area, there is no danger to defend, it is easy to fall again." Besides, we can't stay in Duchang for a long time, and we can't always protect the safety of the people of Duchang. Therefore, for the sake of long-term planning, it is better to transfer the people as much as possible, only in this way can the common people be prevented from encountering the flames of war and the poison of the Japanese army..."
Tao Jiaqing nodded and sighed: "What General Bai said is very true. It's just that I'm just a security captain, so I'm afraid of such a heavy responsibility..."
Bai Fei understood what Tao Jiaqing was worried about, and said, "Are the Duchang county magistrates or other government personnel still in Duchang?" ”
Tao Jiaqing scolded: "Those cowardly guys have already run away. The Japanese army occupied Duchang for a short time, and no puppet county magistrate was elected, so Duchang is now in a state of anarchy. ”
Bai Fei said: "Since there are no other chiefs, then you are the supreme commander." So, in the name of the commander of the gendarmerie of the Ninth Theater of Operations, I now order you to proceed at once with the transfer of the population. Any consequences are on my shoulders. ”
Tao Jiaqing immediately saluted: "Yes!" ”
Then he was embarrassed: "It's just that I only have more than 200 subordinates now, and the number of people is too small, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete this work in a short time!" ”
Bai Fei turned his head and asked Li Hudao: "How about the capture of the Japanese army this time?" ”
Li Hu said: "There are more than 3,000 guns of all kinds, more than 150 grenadiers, and all kinds of ammunition are not counted. ”
Bai Fei nodded, and then said: "Immediately allocate 1,500 guns and some grenadiers to Captain Tao, and the ammunition is matched." ”
