Chapter 317: Thunder in the Silent Night
Because of the heavy rain a few days ago, the water volume of the Hutuo River has increased dramatically, and the moon and stars in the sky shine on the surface of the river, flickering bright and dark, mottled, and between the flickering light and shadow, there is a kind of dreamy beauty that is so beautiful that people are intoxicated. Vertex. Fastest updates
The air is fresh and moist, mixed with the aroma of the earth and the aroma of the plants, and if you sniff it with your nose, you will be intoxicated!
It's a pity that Wu Peng, who led the three companies of cavalry to attack the Hutuo River Railway Bridge, did not have that kind of Yaxing. He also sniffed with his nose, but what he smelled was not the freshness and aroma of the air, but the smell of coal and the iron smell caused by the friction of steel on the Pinghan Railway in the distance!
Since carrying a shuttle dart as a Red Army, Wu Peng feels that fighting with Xiao Siming is the most enjoyable. The reason is very simple, every time the enemy is defenseless, the casualties are small, the results are large, and the fight is enjoyable!
No, when Wu Peng rode on a horse, his body was lying on horseback, and he quietly touched the Hutuo River Railway Bridge with three companies, he was still thinking in his heart, the little devils never dreamed that Lao Tzu would come to blow up the bridge, maybe they had already fallen asleep hiding in the fortifications!
This is not Wu Peng's imagination, in fact, the Japanese railway garrison is all in that style. During the day, only a few sentries were left on duty in the pillboxes and fortifications, and at night they would go to the position in order to guard against enemy attacks. It's normal to sleep in the fortifications.
Such an important target as the Hutuo River Railway Bridge, because it is too close to Shijiazhuang and belongs to the key defensive part of the Japanese army, it is impossible for the guerrilla forces behind the enemy to touch here. Vertex. Fastest updates
In fact, the Japanese army had many strongholds around Shijiazhuang, and there was a tight defensive line. After the cavalry battalion stole across the Deshi Highway, they walked all the way around the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army, and found that the Hutuo River, which was only 10 miles away from the railway bridge, was hidden, and then escaped the sight of the Japanese puppet army.
It's dark under the lamp, and this cliff is really dark under the lamp.
The land after the rain is soft and elastic, and the horses march in broken steps, and the horses' hooves do not make a sound, let alone stir up dust!
Walking and walking, in the night, the figure of the Hutuo River Highway Bridge appeared.
Wu Peng's task was to blow up the Hutuo River Railway Bridge, and the task of blowing up the Hutuo River Highway Bridge was the second battalion, and the first battalion led by Liu Zhaoming undertook the task of sending reinforcements, that is, to block the enemy in Shijiazhuang from reinforcing the Hutuo River.
Wu Peng flicked his horse's head, took the three companies around the south end of the highway bridge, quietly crossed the highway, continued westward, and touched the Hutuo River Railway Bridge.
The figure of the Hutuo River Railway Bridge appeared dimly, and it became clearer and clearer.
Visually less than two miles away from the bridgehead, Wu Peng straightened up on the warhorse, waved his hand, and dismounted all the three companies of the horse, leaving a squad to guard the war horse, to carry out the vigilance, Wu Peng took the rest of the soldiers, carrying the disassembled 92 infantry cannon, along the river, to the Hutuo River Bridge.
No one can figure out the establishment of the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War!
On the bright side, there are only a few kinds of units that the Japanese army has appeared in the North China battlefield, such as divisions and regiments, independent mixed brigades, mixed brigades, railway wings, and independent railway brigades, which cannot be found in the history of warfare, and is often referred to as a certain unit by the name of the commander of the unit. In addition to these, there are also some inexplicable units whose numbers the Chinese do not know, undertake local garrison tasks, and do the same thing as killing people and setting fires, but they cannot be found in the information released by the Japanese army.
To cite two examples, we can illustrate the problem: One is that the Japanese army's North China garrison army is a mixed brigade, which claims to be the size of a brigade and regiment, but in fact the strength of this unit far exceeds the strength of the brigade and regiment, and some experts have found that the strength of this unit should be about 15,000 people, which is consistent with the situation that they later expanded into the 27th Division on the spot. The other is the relevant materials and physical evidence of the Japanese army's 16th Division Supplementary Team found in Zhengding, north of Shijiazhuang, this year, all of which prove that the 16th Division Supplementary Team has been stationed in Zhengding for a long time, concealed its number, and is unknown. However, after checking the history of the war, there is no record of the 16th Division once stationed in Zhengding, and it is not even shown in the archives of the Japanese army.
The county towns of Zhaoxian, Luancheng, and Gaocheng around Shijiazhuang were all garrisoned by Japanese troops, and if these troops searched from the information, they could not find out which unit they belonged to. Because there are only a few divisions and independent mixed brigades in the sequence of the First Army of the Japanese Army, and there are no such garrisons in the troops directly under the army, but they really exist, holding guns and dragging artillery, fighting with the Eighth Route Army and the miscellaneous armed forces behind enemy lines in this area, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong!
The little devils are big ghosts, and there are more ghosts and ghosts, and only they know their details!
The little devils stationed at the Hutuo River Railway Bridge and Highway Bridge are garrison troops of this nature, and they do not belong to the 20th Division, the 108th Division, the 109th Division, the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the Independent Mixed Brigade, nor do they belong to the Second Railway Wing of the Japanese Army, and they are an independent combat unit that the Eighth Route Army does not control. The fastest update of the apex m. is likely to be the troops under the Shijiazhuang Garrison Command of the Japanese Army.
Due to the fierce troops on the Jinpu Road, the Japanese puppet army on the Pinghan Road Road had already received orders from the North China Front Army Headquarters and the First Army Headquarters, and they were very vigilant.
When Wu Peng and the others touched 400 meters of the Hutuo River Bridge, they found that the two devil sentries at the southern end of the bridge were standing straight and straight with rifles, and they were looking around vigilantly.
There are devil sentinels at the south end of the bridge, and needless to say, there are also devil sentinels at the north end of the bridge!
On the east and west sides of the railway bridgehead, there are three pillboxes each, all of which are distributed in the shape of a pin. The bunker is a black hole, silent, maybe the little devil inside is really asleep.
When Wu Peng was observing, a light flashed in the distance, and then there was a faint sound of a train.
Wu Peng gestured, and the warriors all lay on the ground, hiding their figures. Vertices M. updates the fastest
After a short time, a Japanese railway patrol car, also an ironclad car, came from the direction of Zhengding, and when it arrived at the Hutuo River bridge, it stopped, and the machine guns on the car clattered and clucked, and a fire reconnaissance came.
Two of the fighters let out two low muffled grunts, needless to say, bitten by the bullets of the little devils.
The vehicle-mounted machine guns on the devil's ironclad patrol car are all heavy machine guns, which were bitten by bullets, hit the arm, and broke the arm; Stop the leg, the leg is broken! At that, the two warriors just let out a low muffled grunt, and then there was no more movement.
This is the style of the elite of a hundred battles, this is the style of the main force!
Seeing that there was nothing abnormal, the devil's ironclad patrol car drove away and drove towards Shijiazhuang!
Only then did the health officer of the third company climb to the side of the two wounded soldiers and bandage them with first-aid kits.
As soon as he saw the devil's ironclad patrol car drive away, Wu Peng waved his hand, and the artillery squad attached to them began to assemble the 92nd infantry gun, and it didn't take long for the barrels and wheels to be installed.
Wu Peng pointed to the devil's bunker on the east side of the north end of the bridge across the river, and whispered an order to the artillery squad leader: "Push the cannon to the river, aim at the devil's bunker on the opposite bank, and knock it out for Lao Tzu!" ”
Advancing to the river, it may be within the range of the machine guns in the devil's bunker on the opposite bank, which is extremely dangerous!
Fortunately, the 92 infantry cannon is also protected by steel plates, and it is not afraid of the bullets of the Japanese army!
When the soldiers of the artillery squad pushed the infantry guns forward, Wu Peng waved his hand again, and the first, second, third, and heavy machine gun platoons began to move forward.
The task of the second platoon is to touch the devil sentry and blow up the devil bunker on the west side of the bridgehead; The task of the third platoon was to blow up the devil's bunker on the east side of the bridgehead; The task of the first platoon was to move quickly north along the railway bridge to deal with the Japanese troops at the northern end of the bridge; Two horse-drawn heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun platoon suppressed the fire of the Japanese and covered the attack of the platoon.
It may be that the ironclad patrol car has just passed, and there is indeed no enemy here, the two devil sentries have a relaxed mentality, and the rifles in their hands are carried on their backs, and the two of them actually get together to light a cigarette on the fire and smoke it.
Smoking a cigarette, the two little devils actually chatted, talking about going to the Shijiazhuang comfort station to accept comfort and exchange experiences with each other!
As he spoke, one of the little devils said that he had heard that the comfort stations of the officers were of high grade, and the flower girls in them were all female students from Japan, who volunteered to sacrifice themselves for the imperial army and comfort the Yamato warriors. What an unforgettable pleasure it would be to be able to go there for comfort!
This statement aroused the sorrow of another devil. The little devil actually said that when he went to receive comfort the day before yesterday, the flower girl he met turned out to be his neighbor's daughter Tomoko. That was his dream lover, and he didn't expect to come to North China to comfort the Imperial Army. The moment he met Tomoko, he felt that life was truly wonderful! Zhizi's parents thought his family was poor and rejected his marriage proposal, but I didn't expect to meet Zhizi here, I didn't have to say anything, I went directly to work in the "sunning grain", that taste, it's really **!
Two little devils talking about kinky? The evil place actually laughed, and the laughter spread far and wide in the quiet night.
The two devil sentries were so proud that they didn't notice that a team of the Eighth Route Army came from the east side of the bridge, and quietly went up to the bridge, and actually touched behind them.
When the two little devils felt a hard object piercing their backs and their bodies tearing in pain, they found that they couldn't shout anymore, staring at their empty eyes and falling to the ground softly.
The two devil sentinels have been eliminated, and the Japanese troops in the pillboxes on the east and west sides of the bridgehead are still in the dark!
The three Japanese pillboxes on the east side of the bridgehead were all opened to the east, facing the direction from which Wu Peng and they came, and posed the greatest threat to the Eighth Route Army.
Just as the second platoon touched the bridgehead and killed the Japanese sentries, the third platoon pounced on the Japanese pillbox on the east side of the bridgehead.
At this time, not to mention that the little devils in the bunker may have slept heavily, even if they don't sleep, at such a close distance, it is impossible to stop the Eighth Route Army from bombing the bunker!
The soldiers of the third platoon touched the front of the Japanese pillbox on the east side of the bridgehead, and as soon as they raised their hands, the small melon grenade flew into the shooting hole of the devil's pillbox. At what time, the thunder sounded in the quiet night, and both sides of the Hutuo River were shocked!
The three Japanese pillboxes on the west side of the bridgehead were all opened to the west, mainly to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking the bridge from the west.
The second platoon that solved the devil sentry came down from the bridge, pounced on the three devil bunkers in the west, and directly knocked the small melon grenade lightly, and threw it into the devil's bunker along the shooting hole.
Throw one that is afraid that the little devil inside will not be able to tear it clean, so it will be two or three directly, and the little devil will be completely blown into stump pieces!
The three devil bunkers on the west side of the south end of the bridge were quiet in the grenade explosion of the second platoon of soldiers! (To be continued.) )
