The scorched earth policy and the thorough implementation of the clearing of the countryside and wilderness have not only left half of the people in Changhu Town, but even many people have set their houses on fire before fleeing, so that there are few good houses left in the town, and a good place to shelter from the wind and snow has been used as a camp.

A ruined temple at the east end of the town has become the best house in the town, and it is also regarded as the centerpiece of the military station, and the commander of the 40th Baggage Wing of the Japanese Army stayed in this only well-preserved place tonight.

It's not that this temple was deliberately left undamaged, but because the residents of the town didn't dare or couldn't bear it, this temple that had been inherited for a long time had to be preserved, and it would be occupied by the devils and become a military station for the devils.

When Wang Chaokui and the second battalion cat entered the town, they thought that they had gone to the wrong place, the ruins and ruins of Changhu Town, almost completely covered by heavy snow, and they found half of the town, not to mention the devils, not even a wild dog had never seen one, if he hadn't seen the order of the division headquarters with his own eyes, he would definitely suspect that the regiment commander was playing tricks on himself.

Fortunately, Wang Chaokui did not give up, and a few veterans who were at the forefront of the road reconnaissance soon reported that the military vehicles of the devils were found in the east of the town, and there were quite a few of them.

As soon as he heard that there was really a devil's baggage troops, Wang Chaokui immediately became excited, and led the soldiers of the second battalion to speed up to the east of the town.

In the vast white world, several slightly intact houses stood alone, and from a distance, Wang Chaokui could see a row of military trucks parked in the snow, although the roof of the car was also covered with snow, but the trucks were still easy to distinguish.

Behind these houses is a temple, which doesn't look very big and a little old, but at least the roof, doors, windows, etc., are much better than the rooms next to it.

The rooms not far from the temple had no doors or windows except for a roof, and the devils sealed the windows with quilts and canvases. Even so, these houses are still slightly intact in the town, perhaps because they were stained with the light right next to the temple, and people feared that it would damage the temple, so they did not burn down.

"Camp, it seems that there are a lot of devils here, but why can't you see the sentinels?" It was a veteran who spoke, and the first shot of the New Wall River was fired by him.

"It's so cold, are you willing to come out and be on duty?" Wang Chaokui quite "understands" the devil, originally, the Xinqiang River has long been cleared, where would he have thought that there would be ** troops.

"There's not even a sentinel, aren't they looking for their own death?" The veteran looked gloating.

"How? Do you still want them to have sentinels? And then find us, and then fight with us? Pig brains! Wang Chaokui scolded the veteran with a smile and continued: "You lead a few brothers to the back of the house, bring a machine gun, and prevent the devil from escaping from behind." ”

This is Wang Chaokui's strength as an excellent commander, often before the action, he will arrange everything, on the other hand, these devil guards and baggage soldiers at the military station, when they meet him, they can be regarded as eight lifetimes of mold.

At the window and door of each house, there were two soldiers of the second battalion holding cluster grenades, and Wang Chaokui jumped out of the corner with a smile, and waved down his hand raised in the air.

The cluster grenades that had been pulled off the cable, emitting a faint glow of fire and a puff of smoke, were stuffed into the window and thrown into the house.

Before they could hear the grenade landing, the soldiers ran out, shrewdly fearing that they would be caught up in the explosion. The power of the cluster grenade is not something that a thin brick wall or a door made of cotton cloth can hold.

In the quiet of the night, I was suddenly awakened by a few earth-shattering loud noises, although Changhu Town was just an empty town, but after these loud noises, there was still a heart-rending cry, which was the screams of the wounded soldiers in the house who were not dead after being blown up by cluster grenades.

It is rare that these dilapidated houses that were used as barracks by the devils were not blown down by several bundles of cluster grenades, but there was thick smoke coming out from the windows of the canvas that had been shaken off and the door of the quilts that had been shaken off.

Dai Cunxiang's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't like to hear this kind of wail, even though this painful sound was made by a devil, he was also very disgusted.

Pointing in the direction of the rooms again, the soldiers who had thrown the cluster grenades into the houses again cated again, and then the grenades were thrown into the rooms from different windows, and after a series of explosions, the whole world returned to peace.

"Let's take a look, little ......" Before Wang Chaokui finished speaking, gunshots suddenly rang out from the temple.

Like the common people, Wang Chaokui couldn't bear to see the temple destroyed in his own hands, so he only sent a platoon to search there.

But what he didn't expect was that although the Japanese also believed in Buddhism, when it was cold and could not accommodate them, they would use this only intact old temple as a place to live, and judging from the sound of gunshots, there were not a few people inside.

"The first company supported the attack, the second company surrounded the temple, and the third company inspected the houses that had just been attacked." Wang Chao did not hesitate for a moment, and directly issued an order.

The platoon that broke into the temple first, although he thought that there would be devils inside, but he didn't expect that there would be so many devils, and the ground of the main hall was actually full of bunks, at least dozens of people slept, and this is not counting the wing room behind the palace.

They didn't even think about it, and the ghost soldiers who slept all over the hall pulled the trigger, and the few who came in behind threw a few grenades into the main hall, and they didn't care that there was a clay statue Bodhisattva staring at it, and they didn't care that this was a place to receive incense, and they didn't think about this not too big place, the fragments of the grenade might hurt their own people.

In short, after the Sichuan army platoon rushed into the temple, they did everything they could, but the equipment in their hands was too poor, and there were too few people who rushed in.

Finding that there was suddenly a team of Chinese soldiers in the main hall, and they were still shooting the "Imperial Army" soldiers, the ghost soldiers who were not killed who woke up from their sleep, whether they were injured or not, began to resist like fighting for their lives.

Although compared with the Chinese soldiers, these devil soldiers have fewer rifles, and they are still some baggage soldiers, but they are not useless, and the combat effectiveness of these baggage soldiers who are often harassed and attacked at the threshold of life and death is amazing. They had no weapons in their hands, they used their heads and mouths as weapons, although they were stabbed to death and killed by the Sichuan platoon, but after all, their counterattack succeeded, not only fighting with the people of the Sichuan platoon, but also killing many people.

Seeing that this whole platoon of Sichuan troops was about to die in the main hall, the reinforcements of the first company arrived, they did not shoot, their brothers had already fought with the devils, and they could not wear them through the gourd.

In the hall slept the car soldiers and escort soldiers of the 40th Baggage Wing of the Japanese Army, the convoy that spent the night at the Changhu Town Military Station was not very large, the car soldiers and escort soldiers were together with less than 100 people, and they were killed and killed by the Sichuan Army's first wave attack, and then they were stabbed to death in the fight. Knowing that it was a dead end, he actually made a dead hand to the Sichuan army who was fighting with them, and the result was naturally a miserable death. Devil soldiers are also people, they are actually more afraid of death than ** soldiers, but the guns in their hands cover up the fragility of their hearts. The ferocity of the ** people greatly exceeds their psychological endurance, the timid are paralyzed on the ground, and the bolder ones are kneeling on the ground and raising their hands to surrender, which will make them feel cold, even if the cold wind blowing in from outside the door makes people can't help but tremble, but compared with life, it is still not enough to mention.

Wang Chaokui is not a soft-hearted person, not to mention that there is a devil in front of him, a devil who has killed his brothers in the second battalion, and he is angry at the head of a company that asks how to deal with the devil's captives: "You were kicked in the head by a donkey?" Or do you have water in your head? Do you need to ask me about this kind of thing? Didn't you see that the brothers in our second battalion were killed by them? What to do? How do you say? ”

He was scolded by Wang Chaokui for no reason, which made the first company commander very annoyed, and he yelled at the soldiers of the company who were watching him: "What are you watching me do?" Kill them all, not a single one! ”

The ghost soldiers kneeling on the ground had a slight understanding of Chinese, and were killed by the commander of a company, "Kill them all, not a single one will be left!" When he reacted, he shouted in Japanese: "Don't kill me, spare your life......"

The soldiers of the company had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and they didn't care that these ghost soldiers were crying and begging for mercy, and they all buttoned the guns in their hands, and there were a few guys with heavy tastes, and even directly picked up the big knife, sharpened the blade to a snow-white and sharp big knife, and chopped off a few bloody devil heads like chopping vegetables and melons, and the blood gushing out of the neck of the devil soldiers was like a blood rain, dyeing the clay Bodhisattva red.

What these guys did made the hard-hearted Wang Chaokui laugh, he frowned and said: "The Bodhisattva is watching, although the old man who killed the devil won't blame you, but you can't make his old man's law field filthy!" ”

"Battalion commander, as long as it is to kill devils, the Bodhisattva will not only not care, but will also bless us, you can put ten thousand hearts!" A veteran grinned in response to Wang Chaokui's words.

"Don't talk about these useless things, hurry up to treat the injured brothers, clean up the battlefield, we don't have much time." Wang Chaokui's mind was always clear, and he was not carried away by this victory with minimal losses.

On the wall of the main hall there is a slip of 38 big covers, and there are a few crooked machine guns and imitation Czech-style crutch machine guns, which attracted Wang Chaokui's attention, he walked over, stepped over from a few devil corpses on the side of the machine gun, picked up a crutch machine gun, and aimed at the back of the hall, suddenly he seemed to think of something, and shouted at the hall: "A company commander, take people to the back to see, there are still people inside!" ”

Everyone's attention was in the main hall before, completely forgot the wing room behind the hall, this temple is not big, but no matter how small the temple will be there to accommodate the monks' accommodation, just when Wang Chaokui aimed at the gun, he suddenly found that there was an empty door in the inconspicuous corner behind the hall, which could startle him who had always been cautious, and quickly ordered a company commander to take people in to inspect.

As he expected, the commander of a company asked a veteran to carry a military cap with a rifle and slowly stretched it out, but he was only half exposed before he was shot away by two bullets.

There are people in the back wing, but there are not many people, Wang Chaokui can clearly distinguish from the gunshots that these two shots were fired by Wang Babox, and he can be very sure that these two shots are not from the same gun, that is to say, there are two devils in the wing, and they are still two devil officers.

Knowing the details inside, Wang Chaokui's hanging heart was put down again, he made an offensive gesture at the company commander, and then opened the safety of the machine gun in his hand, and pulled the bolt of the machine gun.

The first company commander naturally would not give him this opportunity, and after saying "up" to a few veterans in front, he blocked in front of Wang Chaokui, although he did not dissuade him in words, but in action he showed his attitude.

Several veterans were very skillful in cooperating, first throwing a few grenades indiscriminately into it, and when the explosion sounded, they rushed in with machine gun fire.

From throwing a grenade, to rushing in with a gun, and then to the shouts of the veterans inside, "Company commander, the devil's head has been killed", it took no more than a minute, this speed made Wang Chaokui very satisfied, he pushed away a company commander who was blocking in front of him, and walked in.

There were only two wings connected to each other at the back of the main hall, and the two devils died not far from the door, they were not killed by the explosion, but by random shooting, and the bullet marks on the chest of the three on the white shirt on the same line fully illustrate this.

The two devils who died inside were obviously woken up from their sleep, they didn't even wear a coat, although the military pants were worn, but there was only a white shirt on the upper body, and the rank and identity of the two people could not be seen at all.

"Battalion commander, get rich, get rich, camp commander." A veteran of the Sichuan Army grabbed a devil officer's clothes, screamed and ran over, he said excitedly: "Battalion commander, company commander, it was the devil's officer who was killed by us!" You see. As he spoke, he showed the epaulettes on the devil's uniform, and it was Nakasa.

In the early morning of December 31, 1941, the captain of the 40th Wing of the 40th Division of the Japanese Army was killed by the 2nd Battalion of the 398th Regiment of the 133rd Division of the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army in Changhu Town, southeast of the Xinqiang River.

In fact, Anan Weiji was not fully prepared to attack Changsha again, at least in terms of logistics and supply, the 11th Army was definitely not prepared for a big war. In this battle, the three divisions were only given 120 rifle rounds to each soldier, which was unthinkable before. Moreover, what Anan did not expect was that the troops of the Ninth Theater learned the essence of guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army in North China, which caused the Japanese army's logistics line to be harassed and almost lost its supply capacity. The death of the commander of the 40th Baggage Wing is a true portrayal of this.
