Chapter 165: Surprise

After the guard platoon arrived at the battlefield with mortars and heavy machine guns, Yang Xiong happily ordered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Platoon Commander Chen, you came too soon, the Imperial Alliance Army has been pressed back to the barracks by me, immediately set up mortars, bring them two, and then force them to surrender!

"...... Boom...... "A shell fell from the sky and smashed into the barracks and exploded.

Scorching flames erupted from the closed windows and doors of the barracks at once, and even a bloodied Imperial Allied Army soldier was directly blown out.

"Battalion commander, the Eighth Route Army has artillery in its hands, what should I do next!" The company commander next to the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army asked very nervously.

"There are Eighth Route Army troops everywhere here, and you definitely can't escape." The battalion commander replied with a calm face.

"And I killed a few devil instructors just now for the sake of my brothers' lives, and if I go back to the devil, I will definitely die. Therefore, I decided to surrender to the Eighth Route Army with my brothers, do you have any objections! ”

There are three types of these puppet soldiers, one is the one who was taken prisoner by the devil and put on this skin, for them, there is no problem at all in surrendering to the Eighth Route Army.

One is to become a puppet army in order to support his family, and they want to be that little money, and they will definitely not lose their lives for the sake of devils. As long as you can survive, there is no problem at all in surrendering the Eighth Route Army.

There is also a kind of who really wants to be a traitor and work for the little devil. But they have one thing in common, and that is the fear of death.

Although they are unwilling to surrender to the Eighth Route Army in their hearts, they will also have no opinion on surrendering the Eighth Route Army for the sake of their lives.

Therefore, when the battalion commander said the word surrender, none of his subordinates showed a surprised expression on his face.

"If you don't speak, you agree! Order the troops to raise the white flag, surrender, and let the Eighth Route Army not open fire! The battalion commander commanded after breathing a sigh of relief.

"Company commander, the puppet army has surrendered with a white flag!" An exclamation sounded among the soldiers in front.

Yang Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted: "The artillery stopped firing, and everyone else stopped shooting to shout to the Imperial Cooperative Army inside, and walked out one by one and threw the guns outside!" Then get out of the barracks, no one can carry a gun! ”

More than 130 Imperial Cooperative troops all became Yang Xiong's prisoners in less than five minutes.

As soon as the Imperial Allied Army surrendered, a platoon of the Eighth Route Army rushed to the station to clear out the puppet army that might have been hiding and did not come out.

In the end, the puppet army didn't catch one, but it brought Yang Xiong a huge surprise.

"Cannon, company commander, we found a small irritable warehouse at the station, and there are cannons in it!"

Yang Xiong's eyebrows raised, and he immediately asked the battalion commander among the captives, "Battalion Commander Wang, what's going on with those cannons?" As far as I know, the devils are reluctant to give you valuable cannon equipment! ”

"These cannons are our own garrison brigade." The battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army hurriedly replied.

"Our garrison brigade has its own mountain artillery company, and each regiment also has a mortar company! In order to defend the city walls, the imperial army ...... No, it's the devil, the little devil told us to separate the cannons and defend the four city gates separately! Just now, a mortar was blown up by your army, and the remaining three mortars and two mountain guns were captured by your army before they could be launched! ”

"What about the artillery, let the artillerymen among the captives come out immediately!" Yang Xiong immediately asked the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army.

Soon, more than 20 gunners stood up with a panicked face, and Yang Xiong was not polite, and directly ordered: "I don't care what you did before, now you must obey the command of our Eighth Route Army." Next, we need you to get those cannons in motion and go to the front line to provide artillery support to our Eighth Route Army. If you fight well, at the end of the battle, one person will be rewarded with five oceans, and if you don't fight well, military law will be engaged! ”

"Company Commander Yang, do you want to?" Chen Junyu, the commander of the guard platoon, asked with a puzzled expression.

"Artillery is not only a weapon for attack, but also a weapon for defense. If such good equipment can be used, the combat casualties of the troops in Laiyuan City will definitely be much smaller! ”

Without too much explanation, and without giving the artillery prisoners too much time to think, Yang Xiong did not stop and ordered directly: "The second platoon will stay to guard the prisoners, and the others will bring artillery and shells with me to reinforce the battalion commander!" ”

"The Japanese puppet army has built a lot of fortifications around the material warehouse in the west of the city, and the casualties of the assault are too great, and artillery support is definitely needed!"

Not only did the warehouse store store a lot of supplies, but it also stored an infantry brigade for five days of ammunition supplies, which was very important.

So, the Japanese puppet army sandbags piled up a large number of fortifications around the warehouse, among which there were several machine-gun fortresses made of masonry and cement.

In ordinary fortifications, a mortar can be smashed down with a shell, and even if it can't be destroyed, it can blow up the devils in the fortifications. But a few machine gun forts are different, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and a shell is smashed down, and at most a little skin is broken.

Although Zhang Yunshan led the main force of the battalion to eliminate many Imperial Allied troops, under the support and resistance of several machine gun fortresses, the troops never rushed into the warehouse, and also left thirty or forty corpses, and the whole attack was very tragic!

Just when Zhang Yunshan ordered the two mortars to continue firing with anger, preparing to order the troops to launch a new round of attacks under the cover of the Three Kingdoms, Yang Xiong came.

"Battalion commander, don't attack yet, you see what good things I brought you!"

"Cannon, and it's also a mountain cannon, Yang Xiong, where did you get it!" Zhang Yunshan exclaimed excitedly.

"The garrison of the Imperial Association Army, I captured it before the cannon was fired, and I brought more than 20 gunners of the Imperial Association Army with me."

Zhang Yunshan was so excited that he was almost speechless, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, let them set up artillery immediately and blast out those machine gun fortresses for me." In addition, let a few people in the artillery platoon learn from it, our second battalion will have its own mountain artillery and infantry artillery sooner or later, don't capture it and won't use it when the time comes! ”

Dozens of meters away, the cannon was directly aimed, and as soon as the muzzle of the black hole was erected, the faces of the machine gunners guarding the dark bunker turned pale.

Then he dropped his machine gun and fled outside the bunker. More than a dozen Imperial Allies, and as soon as five or six people ran out, the mountain artillery opened fire.

"Boom...... Boom ......" a violent explosion sounded behind them just now, and the strong machine-gun fortress was like paper paste, which was instantly blown up, and then turned into a pile of ruins.

"Battalion commander, the Eighth Route Army has mountain artillery, and a machine gun fortress has been blown up, and we can't hold the warehouse!" In a machine-gun fortress at the back, a company commander looked at the explosion scene dozens of meters away with a miserable face and exclaimed.

"That's the mountain artillery of the mountain artillery company of the brigade headquarters, there is a platoon commander among the gunners I know, they actually surrendered to the Eighth Route Army, how is it possible!" Another company commander shouted, his face full of incredulity.

"It must be that the three battalions guarding the city wall have surrendered to the Eighth Route Army, battalion commander, what should we do, you quickly make up your mind, otherwise we will all die here!" The deputy battalion commander asked in a heavy and anxious tone.

As he spoke, another explosion sounded in front of him.

The second machine-gun fortress was blown into ruins in the explosion.

The violent explosion, like a talisman, urged the battalion commander to make a decision quickly.
