Chapter 24: Someone from the Military Division
The 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army in Pingding County was tossed by Sun Weiguo for an afternoon, and most of the officers and soldiers were already very tired.
After nightfall, after dinner, a small number of guard posts were left, and the rest of the Japanese officers and soldiers had already slept.
Even Hasegawa did not go to find a woman, but rested on a comfortable bed.
Hasegawa slept soundly, but he didn't know how long it took before he was woken up by a burst of gunshots.
He immediately stood up, took out his southern pistol, and looked out with a wary gaze.
"Captain, we were attacked by the main Chinese forces, they were armed with light machine guns, grenadiers, and all the troops were Type 38 rifles and medium formal rifles."
The lieutenant pushed open the door in a panic, and he came to Hasegawa's face, and said with a panicked expression.
The lieutenant did not expect to encounter the main Chinese force in Binh Dinh County, and he was a little flustered, while Hasegawa sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"Baga, we are looking for these main forces of the Eighth Route Army to fight, and now they have sent them themselves. Gather troops, immediately go out of the city to meet the battle, and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army for me. Hasegawa immediately gave the order.
Czech light machine gun, crooked light machine gun, Type 38 rifle, medium formal rifle, grenadier canister.
This was equipped by the district squad, and Sun Weiguo pulled all the main forces of the district squad over, creating the illusion of attacking the county seat.
The Japanese mistook the district squad for the main force, and as Hasegawa's order was given, a large group of Japanese troops quickly attacked.
When the Japanese brigade arrived outside the city, they were shocked to find that there was not a single enemy outside the city except for bullet casings.
The sleeping officers and soldiers were extremely angry, but they could not find any enemy, and they had nowhere to vent.
Hasegawa realized that this force was equipped with the same equipment as the main force, and must have harassed their force during the day.
After these several small-scale raids, Hasegawa also judged that the task of this unit was to interfere with itself and prevent his troops from getting rest.
After judging his opponent's intentions, Hasegawa ordered his troops to return to the castle to rest, and removed the Japanese troops from the castle tower.
Hasegawa ordered the Maruyama squadron to be responsible for guarding Binh Dinh County, and the remaining three infantry squadrons and the troops directly under the brigade headquarters immediately rested.
The Japanese officers are all professionally trained, they are not fools, and Sun Weiguo's intentions have been exposed.
Seeing that the Japanese troops did not pursue, Sun Weiguo was very surprised, and he thought about whether to continue fighting.
At this time, several men dressed in ordinary people's clothes found the main force of the district team, and they asked to see Sun Weiguo.
When the five came to the man, Sun Weiguo saw the correspondent he had seen before.
"Chief, this is Sun Weiguo, and it was his idea to attack Chengguan Town." The correspondent brought a man about twenty-eight years old to Sun Weiguo.
"Little ghost, it's very good, I heard that you have good marksmanship, and your mind is also very powerful, not bad." After the man saw Sun Weiguo, he said with a look of praise.
Later, the correspondent introduced Sun Weiguo, and this man was Wang Dacheng, chief of staff of the Seventh Brigade of the Military Division.
After the correspondent returned to Meng County, he reported on the situation here in Pingding County.
The commander of the military sub-district was surprised to know that the Pingding County District squad had captured Chengguan Town and had seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
Taking into account the situation of the Seventh Brigade itself, Commander Zhou Jianping of the Military Sub-district immediately ordered the correspondent to bring Wang Dacheng, chief of staff of the Seventh Brigade, to Pingding County.
Wang Dacheng's mission when he came to Pingding County was to lead the district team to immediately transport the captured weapons and ammunition to Meng County and equip them with the Seventh Brigade.
Looking at the equipment of Sun Weiguo and others, Rao is the chief of staff of the main force, Wang Dacheng couldn't help but gasp.
The troops, which were less than 100 men, were armed with eight light machine guns and two grenadiers, which was enough to equip an infantry battalion of the 7th Brigade.
Hearing that Wang Dacheng had deployed a new task, Sun Weiguo happily agreed, he was born in a soldier, and a soldier should obey orders.
Moreover, the main force has to engage in a head-on decisive battle with the Japanese army, and the weapons and ammunition captured by Sun Weiguo can solve many problems of the main force.
Wang Dacheng didn't expect Sun Weiguo to agree so happily, and before meeting Sun Weiguo, he was worried that Sun Weiguo would be stingy.
After all, when the district squad was formed, the military sub-district did not give the district squad any weapons and ammunition.
Now it's a good thing, the main force of the military sub-district has actually come to the district squad to ask for weapons and ammunition.
Sun Weiguo took Wang Dacheng to Chengguan Town, and took the initiative to learn about the situation from Wang Dacheng.
Regarding Sun Weiguo's inquiry, Wang Dacheng revealed with reservations.
Although Wang Dacheng had reservations, Ye Xiaofeng still knew a lot of things.
The military sub-region is the Fourth Army sub-division belonging to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and is under the direct leadership of Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
At present, the Fourth Army Subdivision has jurisdiction over the seventh, eighth, and ninth guerrilla brigades, and the guerrilla brigades are regiment-level establishments, but each brigade is only eight or nine hundred people, and it belongs to a small regimental system, and as for weapons and ammunition, it is very backward, and most of the soldiers use old-fashioned rifles made in Hanyang.
As for the light and heavy weapons, there were even fewer and were pitiful, and the entire guerrilla brigade did not have eight light machine guns.
"Chief, can the weapons and ammunition of the district squad be kept, these weapons are left to us, and we promise not to spoil these weapons."
After coming to Chengguan Town, digging out the buried weapons and ammunition, Sun Weiguo glanced at Wang Dacheng, and he said with some concern.
He was worried that the weapons and ammunition of the district team would also be handed over, and in that case, the district team would have to return to the pre-liberation period.
"Little ghost, don't worry, Commander Zhou said that the weapons of the district squad are retained, and you have annihilated a squad of the Japanese army, which means that you are also combative."
Wang Dacheng patted Sun Weiguo's shoulder with a smile, and said frankly that Sun Weiguo treated the enemy cruelly, but he treated his own people very kindly.
All the people who come into contact with him, even if it is a short time, will trust Sun Weiguo very much, and Wang Dacheng also treats Sun Weiguo directly as his own.
"Sir, Platoon Commander Sun led us to attack the Japanese army in Pingding County several times in a row during the day, causing at least 50 casualties among the Japanese troops."
A Sichuan soldier looked at Wang Dacheng and told Sun Weiguo about the attack on the Japanese army in Pingding County.
Wang Dacheng was slightly stunned, his eyes looked at Sun Weiguo in disbelief, he was a little unbelievable about this matter.
After all, he knew very well that there was a brigade of Japanese troops in Pingding County, and it would be very difficult to cause casualties among more than 50 Japanese soldiers in Pingding County.
