Chapter 82: Mending the Swords One by One!
If the cavalry squadron that came to help last time had not been ambushed by Zhao Tiehu, then this raid on Xinguan Town in broad daylight would not have much time left for the Eighth Route Army to transfer supplies. After all, the speed of cavalry reinforcements is much faster than that www.biquge.info of infantry.
It was precisely considering that the Japanese army had a small number of cavalry at this moment, and Zhao Tiehu also calculated the time for the Japanese reinforcements. Even if the speed of the Japanese reinforcements this time was faster than Zhao Tiehu imagined, Zhao Tiehu still didn't feel surprised.
With the increase in the number of times he dealt with little devils, Zhao Tiehu also had a better understanding of little devils. I have to say that the strength of the Japanese army in this period was indeed much higher than that of the anti-Japanese forces in China.
From Zhao Tiehu's attack on Xinguan Town to the reinforcements sent by the little devils in the county seat, it took less than two hours. Regardless of the distance between the county seat and Xinguan, the little devil's decision to send troops quickly is indeed much faster than that of the anti-Japanese war troops.
If the anti-war troops are attacked, after learning the news, the troops from all walks of life will have to discuss it and then mobilize the troops according to the situation. Often, by the time reinforcements arrived, the attacking troops had fled.
The speed of a force is also an advantage in times of war. Once upon a time, wasn't the Red Army, which was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, also famous throughout the country for its iron feet? And now the walking level of the little devil is actually not bad!
At this moment, the Japanese puppet army, who was in a hurry to rush to Xinguan, may not have expected that Zhao Tiehu would ambush them here. After all, according to the information they learned, the Eighth Route Army should be busy cleaning up the battlefield at this moment and preparing to retreat from Xinguan.
Once you fight them, I'm afraid that they won't be able to evacuate the battle for a short time. If you fight in the field, the little devil is really not afraid of these Eighth Route Army with simple weapons.
But what's going on now?
In addition to the shells falling from the halfway up the mountain, there was also a raging rain of bullets on the slopes on both sides. This kind of super firepower strike, even the little devils who are used to seeing the world, also think that they are not on the battlefield of a large-scale battle.
On the other hand, Zhao Tiehu, who was staying on the hillside and shooting wildly, looked at the Japanese puppet army who was killed on the road like wheat, and those puppet soldiers who were scurrying with their heads in their hands, and also felt that such an attack was really a waste of bullets!
'A detachment, follow me!' The rest, keep fighting! ’
Under Zhao Tiehu's roar, a detachment of soldiers lying not far from him quickly jumped up from the trench. Li Hao and Tiedan, who were following Zhao Tiehu, also followed Zhao Tiehu to the highway down the mountain as quickly.
Although there are some surviving little devils at the moment, they have chosen a good position and are ready to fight back. But in the face of such a powerful firepower attack, many little devils did not dare to raise their heads at all. As soon as you look up, you risk being hit by a dense barrage of bullets.
Looking at Zhao Tiehu, who rushed down the mountain first, and the platoon commander of the third battalion who stayed in the machine gun position, he said with a surprised face: "Team Liu, is the Zhao brigade so crazy in war?" How did he rush to the front? ”
In the opinion of Platoon Commander Sun, Zhao Tiehu, as a commander, is not suitable for charging on the front line. As a commander, if he is injured or sacrificed in the charge, it will undoubtedly be a heavy setback to the morale of the troops.
Just looking at the brave Zhao Tiehu, Platoon Commander Sun couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Crazy Tiger, it's really a madman who fights a war!" ”
Facing Platoon Commander Sun's inquiry, Liu Cheng also smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "I know what you want to say, but this is the combat style of our team leader." As soon as the battle started, no one could persuade him except himself.
But with him on his own, we can settle the battle quickly. There is also a large group of little devils coming at us in the back, and we really need to speed up and clean up this group of little devils. You see, he started throwing grenades. ”
In the process of chatting between the two, Zhao Tiehu, who was the first to rush down the mountain, began to take out a grenade from his body and threw it at the Japanese puppet soldiers lying on the road. One grenade after another, accurately fell on the heads of the hidden Japanese puppet army.
Platoon Commander Sun, who saw this scene, couldn't help but sigh: "Team Zhao's grenade is a comparison with the shell!" ”
Zhao Tiehu, who had the advantage of the terrain, began to throw grenades in the process of running. Not to mention the accuracy of the grenade, the distance of throwing alone was admired by many soldiers of the guard platoon of the third battalion who cooperated with the operation.
In the face of these grenades that exploded in the air, some of the surviving little devils suffered again. Li Hao, who was following Zhao Tiehu, and a detachment of soldiers were also not idle, stopping from time to time to shoot at the little devils on the road.
Looking at these Japanese puppet soldiers who were scurrying around and even beginning to flee, Zhao Tiehu shouted again: "Rush up and kill them!" ”
In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Zhao Tiehu didn't care whether the other party was a puppet army or a little devil. As long as there are weapons in their hands, the Japanese puppet army that still survives has become the target of a detachment of fighters to be eliminated.
Except for a few puppet soldiers who had a whim, they threw away their weapons directly, lay on the ground and raised their hands and shouted, 'I surrender!' 'Escaped. The rest of the puppet soldiers, who were still preparing to escape, were also killed by a detachment of soldiers who were pursuing.
Looking at Zhao Tiehu and the others who had rushed to the highway, Platoon Commander Sun, who was staying on the mountain, said in his heart: "Guard platoon, follow me!" ”
Under Platoon Commander Sun's order, the guard platoon of the third battalion, which was also already excited, immediately jumped up from its hiding place and rushed down the mountain with Platoon Commander Sun. Seeing this scene, Liu Cheng couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Stop shooting and prepare to retreat!" ”
In order to avoid accidental injury, Liu Cheng also gave an order to stop the battle at the right time. On the previously arranged artillery positions, some unfinished artillerymen also began to disassemble the artillery, preparing to tie the cannons to pack horses and pull them away.
At this time, Zhao Tiehu, who had already finished the battle, looked at the corpses of the Japanese puppet army on the road, and still said with a cold expression: "Start cleaning the battlefield and make up for the little devils!" ”
'Yes, Captain! ’
Platoon Commander Sun, who also rushed down the mountain, said with some curiosity when he heard this: "Team Zhao, the little devils are dead, why do you have to mend the knife?" ”
'Mending the knife is also to ensure that nothing goes wrong, who dares to guarantee that the little devil will not play dead? If we don't mend the knife, when we clean up the battlefield, our soldiers may also be injured by these little devils.
If he makes up for it one by one, even if he is pretending to be dead, he must be made a real death. This is my rule, and it is also to avoid the soldier being injured by the little devil when he is cleaning the battlefield. I fight wars and never want captives of little devils! ’
After saying this, Platoon Commander Sun still wanted to say that it was the policy of the Eighth Route Army to give preferential treatment to prisoners. But seeing that he didn't say a word, and began to mend the little devil one by one, he was also very sensible and shut up and didn't dare to say anything.
It's just that when this scene fell into the eyes of those puppet soldiers who surrendered, many puppet soldiers were also scared enough. Just when they were worried that these Eighth Route Army would kill them, Zhao Tiehu also walked in front of these prisoners.
With a murderous face, he said: "You should be glad that the previous act of voluntarily surrendering saved your life." When you meet Lao Tzu's team in the future, you must remember today's events and don't become the ghost of Lao Tzu's gun.
Rest assured, Lao Tzu doesn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately. But you will have to suffer a little bit when you wear this skin. Sun Pai arranged some soldiers, stripped them of their clothes, found ropes to tie them up, and escorted them to the forest next to them.
Send two warriors to watch them, and whoever dares not to listen to the greeting will be killed directly without asking for instructions. As for how to deal with them, wait until we deal with the next batch of little devils. Speed points, we don't have much time left. ”
'Yes, Brigade Zhao! ’
In the face of Zhao Tiehu's unceremonious order, Platoon Commander Sun didn't say much. After all, when he rushed to support, the battalion commander Zhu Xin had already told him that he must cooperate with Zhao Tiehu's actions.
At present, more of the materials that are being transferred by the troops in the town will also be left in the third battalion. It can be said that blocking these little devils who come to help now, in a sense, is also buying time for the transfer of supplies for the third battalion.
Even so, it is very reasonable to obey Zhao Tiehu's orders!
As the soldiers began to quickly clean up the battlefield, they picked up the corpses of the little devils and the puppet army and threw them in the ditch on the side of the road. Such a scene made many soldiers of the guard platoon of the third battalion feel a little too bloody.
Fortunately, most of the fighters who are qualified to join the guard platoon have actual combat experience. It's just that a battle like this is really the first time for some fighters.
But no matter what, seeing that the troops fought a victorious battle, only two people were even slightly wounded. Such a victory also made all the fighters who participated in the battle proud and happy. After all, such victories are actually rare!
When the battlefield was quickly cleaned, Zhao Tiehu checked the terrain around him, and finally said, "Liu Cheng, let someone carry our two mortars over." I'll find another place and rebuild an artillery position.
The rest returned to their previous blocking positions and continued to build fortifications. Wait a minute, we're here, stopping the little devils from the county seat. It's just that you are responsible for commanding the next blocking battle! ”
'Captain, what about you?' ’
'Rest assured, I'll strike when the time is right.' As soon as I make a move, you will retreat immediately. Do you understand? ’
As soon as these words came out, Liu Cheng naturally felt that something was wrong. Just looking at Zhao Tiehu's indisputable expression, he could only nod helplessly to show obedience to the order. But Liu Cheng knew in his heart that Zhao Tiehu was also doing this to buy time for them to retreat at that time!
