Chapter 68: Capture Zhoukou and cry for recommendation and collection
At this time, there were still gunshots outside Shenqiu Town, and the sound of explosions was endless. If it weren't for the fact that Ferry Jiro would have been able to find out at night, the people of the city did not attack the city wall at all, but just lay on the ground and shot at the city wall, and the most ferocious thing was a few light and heavy machine guns.
After half an hour of rapid marching, the devils of Zhoukou had almost arrived at Shenqiu Town, and when Liu could hear the sound of gunfire from Shenqiu Town in the distance last time, he ordered the army behind him: "Advance quickly!" Fast! The devil behind him quickened his pace again.
Zhang Mingyu saw the lights of the devil's motorcycle in the distance from the telescope, and ordered: "Prepare to fight!" "The fighters of the battalions and companies loaded their bullets and their bayonets one after another!
After all the devils entered the ambush circle, Zhang Mingyu pulled out his pistol and fired a shot into the sky, and the soldiers of each battalion and company heard the gunfire and opened fire one after another, and the light and heavy firepower on both sides of the highway opened fire at the same time, catching the devils by surprise! However, as the main force of the 17 permanent divisions and regiments of the Japanese army, the 12th Infantry Wing is quite good in combat effectiveness, and Liu's tactical literacy last time was also good.
The ambushed army immediately dispersed in an attempt to counterattack by relying on the favorable terrain. But they met the reader, Liu met Zhang Mingyu last time, the devil's machine gunner was still under the special attention of Zhang Haisheng and the sniper, and he couldn't see anyone at night, but the fire chain from the devil's machine gun leaked them, and the snipers followed the machine gun's tongue of fire and killed the devil's machine gunner one by one, and the devil's mortar could not implement effective fire suppression because it could not find a target at night.
Two hours later, as Zhang Mingyu expected, the squadron of devils who came to reinforce was completely annihilated, capturing 600 rifles and a large number of bullets. I have to admit that the devil's combat effectiveness is still very strong, even if he is ambushed at night and is passive. Machine gun fire was suppressed, and all other unfavorable factors, they still caused more than a hundred casualties to the reading division. It is conceivable that if this battle is in the daytime, the two squadrons of the devil are facing up and fighting with the reader, it is really hard to say who wins and who loses, the real elite of the reader is only the thousand people, most of them are from the original Fuyang security regiment, although after more than 20 days of training by Zhang Biao, but their combat effectiveness and the elite of the devil are still vulnerable!
At the same time as Zhang Mingyu's side was fighting, Lai San also led the third battalion to launch a real attack on Shenqiu Town, almost at the same time as Zhang Mingyu annihilated the devil's reinforcements, and captured more than 100 puppet soldiers. And the third battalion also suffered nearly two hundred casualties.
Although the encirclement and reinforcement this time was successful, the reading division also paid more than 300 casualties, not because Zhang Mingyu's tactical arrangement was not good, but because there was still a gap between the combat effectiveness of the reading division and the devil. Although they killed nearly seven hundred devils this time.
Among the more than 100 puppet soldiers, more than 30 were willing to join the reading division, and all the rest were sent home!
After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhang Mingyu personally led a battalion of troops and headed towards Zhoukou, and Zhang Biao, Lai San and others followed up with the main force.
At present, there are two regiments and a guard company of about 3,000 people, the division commander: Zhang Mingyu, of which Zhang Biao is the commander of the first regiment, and Wang Tiehan is the battalion commander of the first regiment and the deputy commander. The commander of the second battalion of the first regiment was Chen Xiaochun, the commander of the third battalion was Sun Dali (his artillery company was merged with the third battalion), Lai San was the commander of the second regiment, Ma Liqun was the commander of the first battalion of the second regiment, and Tie Niu was the commander of the second battalion. The commander of the third battalion was concurrently served by Lai San himself. Li Gang is the commander of the guard company.
Zhang Mingyu took Wang Tiehan's battalion, changed into the devil's costume and went to Zhoukou, driving two captured devil motorcycles, Zhang Mingyu sat on the side bucket and smoked, Wang Tiehan asked: "Master, we won't be trying to open the city gate of the little devil this time, right?" ”
"Congratulations, you got it right!" Zhang Mingyu spit out a puff of smoke rings and said.
After half an hour's journey, he finally arrived at the foot of Zhoukou City, and the devil on the city tower asked Maxi Maxi: "Who are you?" ”
Zhang Mingyu said a few words in Maxi Maxi, and the devils in the city shouted: "Captain is back soon, open the city gate"
Several devil soldiers struggled to open the city gate, and at this time, more than 400 soldiers of the first battalion behind them rushed into the city and fired fiercely at those devils, many devils were swept down before they knew what was going on, and this time there was also Li Gang's guard company who acted with the first battalion.
The guard company took the lead with submachine guns, and after eliminating the devils on the city wall, they began to attack the city, and the leader of the remaining devil squadron immediately ordered to shrink the troops, started a street battle with the reading division, and sent a telegram for help to the headquarters of the 12th Infantry Wing that had already attacked Xinyang.
Anda 23rd has already led the 12th Infantry Wing to clear the outer positions of Xinyang, and is preparing to launch a general attack on Xinyang early tomorrow morning. Suddenly, the staff officer walked into the headquarters with a telegram, and said with a heavy face: "Your Excellency, the defenders of Zhoukou called just now: "They were attacked by the regular army of the Zhina, and now the Zhinamen have captured the city gate, and they are fighting with the enemy in the streets, asking for our immediate support." ”
"Baga, there is a brigade of ours in Zhoukou, if the people of China want to capture Zhoukou, they must have at least a brigade or even a division of troops, there are not so many troops near Zhoukou at all, at most a few groups of guerrillas are scattered, how can they be attacked into the city by the people of Zhoukou?" Anda twenty-three said angrily.
"The telegram said that three hours ago, Liu Shangjun took two squadrons to reinforce Shenqiu Town, and he can't be contacted until now, it is estimated that something happened, Wing Commander, let's hurry back to Zhoukou to support the first brigade, otherwise the large amount of supplies that were just transferred to Zhoukou County yesterday will fall into the hands of the Zhina." The staff officer said again.
"Yaga! Order the 2nd and 3rd brigades to quickly reinforce Zhoukou! Anda Twenty-three ordered angrily.
The 12th Infantry Wing has not yet arrived at Zhoukou, the first battalion has captured Zhoukou with the main force of Zhang Biao and Lai San, Lai San quickly ran to Zhang Mingyu: "Division!" Division! Good news, good news! ”
"What's the good news?" Zhang Mingyu looked at Lai San with an excited face and asked.
"Just now in the devil's warehouse, I found a warehouse full of supplies, including cannons, machine guns, and melon grenades," Lai Sanzheng said as he shook his hand.
"Okay, okay, don't fucking count, take Lao Tzu with you." Zhang Mingyu said impatiently.
"Yes," Lai San turned around and took the lead and ran towards the seized warehouse.
When he arrived at the warehouse, Zhang Mingyu Zhang Mingyu was also completely shocked, a large warehouse of two or three hundred square meters, which was full of equipment and materials, mortars, mountain artillery, and light and heavy machine guns, and bullets were piled up.
Zhang Biao saw Zhang Mingyu running over and said, "Master, let's pull!" I did a rough calculation, and these weapons and equipment are enough to equip a division! Ha ha! (It turned out that these materials had just been transferred from Xuzhou, and they were the supplementary materials of the 11th Division, and Zhoukou was just a transit station, and the more than 2,000 ordinary people who were responsible for helping the devils transport materials were rescued by the Reading Force Division and all dismissed!) )
"Laugh! Laugh fart! Let the brothers replenish their ammo, change their handy weapons, and blow up the rest! Zhang Mingyu said calmly.
"Master, why did you blow them all up? Is this the equipment of a division? Zhang Biao asked puzzled.
"If you don't blow it up, can you take it away? If you don't blow them up, do you leave them to the little devils? Grandma is a bear, look at your little talent, you can't bear this equipment? When you arrive in Gansu, Lao Tzu equips you with a division for you to bring. In fact, when Zhang Mingyu said these words, he was also a little reluctant, but there was no way, and he couldn't take it away. Gotta blow them all up.
Lai San interjected again: "Master, we have such weapons and ammunition to defend Zhoukou, so we don't have to blow them up." ”
"What the hell, when is there so much nonsense, if we are guarding Zhoukou and waiting for the devil's army of 30,000 to come, can you stop it? Don't fucking the mill! Restock them all, then blow them up and evacuate quickly. Violators are shot! Zhang Mingyu shouted loudly.
"Yes!" Zhang Biao, Lai San, and others each rushed to the warehouse with their troops.
