Chapter 141: The Battle is Coming!
After a loud bang, the Japanese troops who had been waiting for news from the base soon saw the towering pillbox collapse. The barracks built at the www.biquge.info stronghold also collapsed one after another in the explosion.
The Japanese squad that was ordered to enter the stronghold of Wujiazhuang, in the face of this sudden explosion, did not have time to make too many covert actions, and most of them were buried in the collapsed barracks, and the scene became chaotic for a while.
Miyata Konan, who was staying under the stronghold, couldn't help but want to lie down when he heard the explosion, and when he looked up again, he saw that the originally quiet Wujiazhuang stronghold was now in ruins. Along with the fortified bunkers, most of them collapsed at this moment.
'Yaga! Damn sneak attackers, quick, hurry up and save people. ’
Miyata Konan, who came over in anger, thought of the infantry squad that entered the stronghold, and knew that the fate of this squad would not be too good. From this series of explosions, it can be seen that the attackers' combat methods are all-encompassing, and it is impossible to prevent it!
The officers and men of the Fourth Company of the Independent Battalion, who had already retreated to the Wangzhuang stronghold in advance, stopped and looked at the explosion coming from the Wujiazhuang stronghold. I don't know what the outcome of the battle will be, but many of the fighters have a smile on their faces.
For many of the soldiers who joined the independent battalion, they were extremely happy and satisfied with today's battle. Some of the first-time fighters also built up their self-confidence through this battle.
Even after the previous battle, some recruits couldn't help but vomit nauseously. But the veterans of the company know that after these recruits vomit, they will slowly become iron-blooded veterans.
Compared with the joy of ordinary soldiers, the commander of the fourth company who led the team said with a smile: "Don't look at it, retreat quickly, it's really troublesome for the little devils to catch up." Next, there is a big battle waiting for us! ”
'Yes, Company Commander! ’
Just when the fourth company was about to return to the Wangzhuang stronghold, looking at the battalion commander who led the team to support, the fourth company commander also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Battalion commander, why are you here?" ”
'Come and see, I thought you'd have to put some effort into it!' How's that, has the stronghold been taken? ’
'Taken! Just dozens of puppet troops, all cleaned up. In addition to these prisoners, we killed those who resisted. It's just that in the previous battle, our fourth company still sacrificed a dozen fighters. ’
Zhang Mingxiang, who heard this, nodded and said, "Alas, it's almost the same on my side." However, if we can successfully defeat these two strongholds and completely annihilate the defenders of the two strongholds, I believe that the losses of the little devils will be greater than ours. Let's send the wounded to the rear first! ”
'Yes, Battalion Commander! ’
Since they are on the battlefield, casualties cannot be avoided. Compared with the previous battles with the little devils, the proportion of battle losses fought by the independent battalion this time is still acceptable in Zhang Mingxiang's opinion. After all, they eliminated a much larger number of Japanese puppet troops.
As the fourth company returned with the third company that attacked the Xinzhuang stronghold, Zhang Mingxiang also ordered the two companies to enter the previously built blocking fortifications to rest. The remaining two companies acted as reserve troops, ready to reinforce Zhao Tiehu's combat detachment at any time.
Compared with the neighboring direction of Xinzhuang and Qi County, even if the Japanese army learned that the train was hijacked, when they rushed over from Qi County, it was estimated that the daylily would be cold. And at this moment, what Zhao Tiehu is really dealing with is only a large reinforcement army coming from the direction of Taigu.
Sun Jie, who was in charge of blocking along the way, also saw the scene of the Wujiazhuang stronghold being bombed. As far as the combat detachment under his command was concerned, the task of blocking and harassing had basically been completed, so that the Japanese troops who arrived at the earliest could not rush to Wangzhuang's side as soon as possible.
Looking at Sun Jie and the combat detachment who came back, Zhao Tiehu, who listened to the report, was also very happy and said: "Comrades, it's hard work. Let's take a break at the back, drink some hot soup and have some food, and then there is a tough battle waiting for us! ”
'Yes, Captain! ’
If no one was damaged, the Japanese troops who came to support by train lost nearly 100, and the remaining more than 200 Japanese troops were not enough in Zhao Tiehu's opinion. On the other hand, Zhao Tiehu felt that there seemed to be too few reinforcements.
Thinking that a train didn't seem to be able to pull too many people, and the little devils who came to the rescue did not carry artillery, Zhao Tiehu felt that the big army of the little devils should still be behind. When the time comes, it is estimated that there will be a tough battle!
While Zhao Tiehu was quietly waiting for the little devil reinforcements to arrive, the villagers in the base area who were responsible for transporting the materials arrived one after another, and they also began to quickly load the materials and pull all the weapons, ammunition and materials back to the base area.
It's just that when many people saw the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who were killed, they also felt a little worried: "Killing so many little devils, I'm afraid that the little devils will kill people everywhere next, right?" ”
'What are you worried about?' We only need to be responsible for transporting things back to the village, and the comrades of the army are responsible for the war? What's more, with so many weapons captured, our troops are afraid that they will expand again. ’
Even if the villagers who were called this time were mostly people from the fortress village. But for the little devils, these people are also afraid. After all, after the Japanese army invaded and occupied Taigu, it did commit a lot of crimes.
But some villagers also understand that if they don't help these Eighth Route Army, then they don't have the ability to fight back. The stronger the Eighth Route Army, the safer they will be able to live and suffer less from the scourge of little devils and puppet armies.
Looking at the team of villagers who were speeding up the transfer of materials, Zhao Tiehu also felt that there was a lot of strength in numbers, and most of the weapons and ammunition that seemed to be a lot before had been moved away after the rapid transfer of these villagers.
Hearing the news, Zhao Tiehu said with a little satisfaction: "Well, Mingxiang, it seems that the mass work of your independent battalion is doing a good job. In such a short period of time, it is indeed rare to be able to mobilize so many people to help.
This batch of weapons and ammunition, you must arrange for someone to hide it, and find an appropriate time to hand over these weapons and ammunition in the future. In addition, your independent battalion can also choose some weapons and ammunition that can be used and keep them in advance.
Behind enemy lines, the stronger your strength will be, the safer our anti-Japanese base areas will be. As for the captured cannons, even if they are given to you, they will not be used. But these artillery pieces are very important to our main forces, and they must be kept safe. ”
'Yes, old company commander, don't worry! I have already contacted the local county government when I transferred the supplies, and they will take good care of the weapons and ammunition. However, can our independent battalion really prioritize a batch of weapons? ’
Why not? This time I grabbed the train, but it was the credit of our two troops. The main force eats meat, let's drink the soup, right? Didn't you see that I had also asked a group of people to choose a batch of weapons and ammunition to leave? ’
Considering that the troops may need to fight continuously in the future, Zhao Tiehu naturally hopes to store more weapons and ammunition. After selecting a batch of weapons and ammunition, the Qi County guerrillas brought by Jean sent them back to the temporary camp in the mountains that had been established earlier.
In Zhao Tiehu's opinion, if such a big thing happened this time, I believe that the little devil will also fight back and chase him wildly. When the time comes, presumably the little devils will also hunt and kill. Save more weapons in the mountains, and it will be convenient to fight with the little devils at that time!
Hearing Zhao Tiehu say this, Zhang Mingxiang immediately smiled and said, "Okay, since the old company commander agrees, then I'll let people get some grenadiers and mortars later." Both of these weapons can be used by our independent battalion, and they can also enhance our combat effectiveness. ”
'Well, that's good! It seems that in the past few years, your kid has also grown a lot. Remember to prepare more shells, and when you have time in the future, take some live ammunition for the artillery training. Don't be reluctant to shell shells, only by training artillery well can it really play a role. Do you understand? ’
'Understood! Thank you old company commander, this time our independent battalion has really changed its guns! ’
Facing Zhang Mingxiang with a happy face, Zhao Tiehu could also understand his mood. These days, the commander of the Eighth Route Army didn't want to have more hard guys in his hands. If you fight like this, you will be more sure!
Just when Zhao Tiehu was quietly waiting for the little devil reinforcements to arrive, listening to the explosion from the railway ahead, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Okay, the little devil is here, you go back to the position!" Something, I'll call you later! ”
'Yes, old company commander, take care! ’
'Well, as long as you guard my rear, I'll be safe, go!' ’
The security of the rear and flanks was handed over to the independent battalion, and Zhao Tiehu and the combat detachment brought by him were responsible for frontal defense. Regarding the first batch of Japanese troops that were about to arrive, Zhao Tiehu did not feel anything to worry about.
According to the news brought back by Sun Jie earlier, there were only more than 200 people left in this group of little devil reinforcements who arrived first. Except for a certain number of grenadiers and machine guns, they did not carry any heavy weapons.
And Zhao Tiehu, who has now occupied the stronghold of Wangzhuang and strengthened the stronghold, feels that it is impossible for the little devil to break through his defense line with this little person alone. But now, they can't retreat yet.
The reason is that the villagers who are currently transporting the supplies have not yet gone far, and they need to buy time for the people who are transporting the supplies. And Zhao Tiehu's other idea is to take this opportunity to take this opportunity to frustrate the little devil.
Just when Miyata Konan was about to arrive at the Wangzhuang stronghold with the remaining troops, the cavalry scouts who were in charge of reconnaissance on the periphery soon discovered a large number of Japanese puppet troops rushing from the road to support.
Hearing this, Zhao Tiehu didn't feel any surprise. In his opinion, the big attack of the little devils in Taigu City was expected in itself. After all, the train he grabbed was too important to the little devil.
'Order the troops, begin to enter the position. Deal with the group of little devils who are about to come first, and then find a chance to fight with the big army of little devils. In terms of time, we will be here at least two hours to stop the little devils, comrades, are you confident? ’
'Yes! ’
Zhao Tiehu handed over all the matters related to the stronghold before to the independent battalion. Now that the little devil's reinforcements have finally arrived, the soldiers of the combat detachment naturally don't want the independent battalion to rob them of their credit.
For the next battle, many fighters feel that as long as Zhao Tiehu stays by their side, they believe that the next battle will be another rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and many soldiers feel that they must grasp the opportunity to accumulate military merits!
