"Smack-"

Another enemy soldier who stretched out half of his head was lifted off the Tianling cover by an accurate bullet, and half of his head that spewed out a blood mist fell heavily on the hard corner of the two-story stone building, so frightened that the enemy company commander lying behind the stone pillar quickly crawled backwards for several meters, and one turned around and climbed into the threshold of the hall, but was shattered by another flying bullet that had no time to put away his right knee.

The commander of the "Tiger Company," who was famous among the three armies, no longer had the courage and composure he had in the past, and his heart-rending wails of pain made the remnants of the enemy in the camp feel terrified and their morale was completely lost.

The battle has been fought for nearly an hour now, and more than half of the enemy troops have been killed or wounded, and they are helpless against the opponents who occupy the commanding heights around them. At a distance of more than 300 meters, the enemy's powerful flower machine guns and shell guns lost their accuracy and power, and as soon as the only three light machine guns appeared, the machine gunners were immediately killed by accurate bullets, and then a mortar shell flew in, blowing up the surroundings of the stone building and the top floor where the machine guns were erected beyond recognition.

On the dirt slope on the east side, An Yi pulled the bolt of the gun amid the screams of the enemy company commander, and aimed again, Dou Fang, who was lying beside him, smiled admiringly:

"Boss, this gun is damaged! One shot knocked out the enemy's morale...... Behind the window at two o'clock, the man wanted to raise a white flag and surrendered......"

"Smack-"

The flagpole was shattered when the white flag that was just about to be raised in the window, An Yi pulled the bolt of the gun and ordered in a low voice: "Little Bean, it's time, order the brothers to set up a machine gun salvo and cover the assault detachment to rush into the enemy camp, and not a single one will be left!" ”

"Yes!"

Dou Fang excitedly slid down the dirt slope and loudly ordered the machine gunners to enter the position and suppress the enemy with all their might.

"Dada, dada, dada......"

The four Czech light machine guns on the east side rang out in unison, and the other three brothers also set up machine guns to fire fiercely when they received the signal, and the stone towers in the enemy camp were sparked in the rain of bullets and emitted pieces of dust.

Ding Zhicheng, who was holding two guns, personally led an eight-man assault detachment to jump over the corpses of the enemy at the entrance of the camp, and quickly rushed into the camp and then dispersed, three light machine guns and five flower machine guns fired beautiful point shots one after another, and the remnants of the enemy in the barracks on both sides were killed as soon as they showed their heads, and the two team members who were free of hand accurately threw grenades into every barracks on the way, and the second detachment that followed immediately rushed into the room after the explosion, and launched a merciless slaughter of the enemies who were still struggling and wailing.

At the same moment, the Dou Fang detachment that climbed over the wall from the northeast corner also concocted the same method, and with the tacit cooperation of the machine gunners around it, it smoothly approached the front and rear of the stone building, and seven or eight grenades accurately flew into the various windows of the stone building.

Dou Fang walked through the lobby to the bloodied steps in front of him, took out a cigarette and handed it to Ding Zhicheng.

"Rejoice! There were no casualties in the whole battle, and the battle was fought comfortably. ”

Ding Zhicheng took the cigarette and lit the fire, and simply ignored the frequent sound of guns in the building:

In the first twenty minutes, they shot at least sixty enemies accurately, especially Lao Li's four apprentices, lying on the roof of the courtyard, the vision was very good, and the distance was close, almost a gun headshot, and the soul of this pus-filled company was scattered, all the arrogant shouts were gone, and no one dared to show half of their heads in the end, I estimate that the remaining so-called tiger elite were all peeing their pants.

I was inspired a lot by this battle, both in terms of process and result, as expected by the boss, and the role of the sniper was fully reflected. After we go back, we have to start a discussion and summarize the coordination between snipers, mortars and assaulters, and there will be a lot of street battles or ambush siege battles in the future. Dou Fang nodded: "I agree!" Brother Ding, do you think you can pick out ten or eight top players from today's teaching team to add them? I found out that there are quite a few good seedlings in it! ”

"Don't worry, our department has priority, according to the boss's promise, even if we fancy which battalion company commander can be transferred at will, not to mention the teaching team that provides reserve talents for our departments."

Speaking of this, Ding Zhicheng saw Li Fuqiang coming over with a sniper rifle, grinned, and waved his hand to greet loudly: "Lao Li, are you addicted to guns?" ”

The short and sturdy Li Fuqiang still has that naturally sad face, and when he laughs, he is as ugly as crying:

"What a pleasure, Lao Tzu only beat two officers, and the rest were all taken care of by the following boys...... The boss has gone into the city, let me tell you to camp on the spot, and ask for a full clean-up and burial of the corpses immediately, closely monitor and fully guard the west direction of the road, and the artillery company will soon be stationed here, it is estimated that this time it will be stationed for a long time, and the company I led is also ordered to be stationed here, and the backyard and the area around the puppet lake in the east are suitable for sniper training. ”

Ding Zhicheng looked at the puddles of blood and the unrecognizable camp under his feet, shook his head and walked into the house.

Dou Fang laughed, climbed on Li Fuqiang's shoulder, and suggested that he order a hundred or so apprentices to do the drudgery of burying people, so that they could not only have seizures, but also exercise their psychological endurance.

Li Fuqiang was very generous, without saying a word, he turned to the courtyard and tore open the broken gong and shouted, and more than 100 disciples and grandchildren moved when they heard the sound, and immediately started working with a smile.

At this time, there was still a panic in Kunshan City, and the sixty patrols of Xia Jian's first battalion were distributed on every street, and the three battalions led by Chen Zhibiao continued to do the familiar work, confiscating and seizing the three opium stores in the city; According to An Yi's instructions, Shen Fengdao led a group of guards to Chengbei Prison, released all the prisoners, and immediately locked up more than 30 opium smokers, account offices, and hawkers after vacating the place, waiting for the newly established political work unit brothers of the Youth League Department to come and take over; In the majestic county office, more than 30 members of the county magistrate's family were politely invited out by Gu Laoer, and in a panic they lived in the Hongfa Inn diagonally opposite.

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Jian's 1st Battalion was stationed in Tongfeng Battalion and carried out large-scale cleaning and maintenance with the Model Battalion; Chen Zhibiao led the 3rd Battalion to Bingxi Town, 6.5 kilometers to the east, and Gu Changfeng's 4th Battalion went to Zhoushi Town, on the south bank of the Yanglin River, 7 kilometers north, to garrison each other, echoing with Ye Cheng's 2nd Battalion in the west to guard against a possible attack in the direction of Changshu.

In the hall of the county government, the commanders of all battalions gathered together and laughed loudly.

A soft and thick green military blanket was laid on the long table, which was spliced together by eight beautiful and valuable large square tables, and two huge battle flags and party flags were arranged cross-laid on the north wall of the main hall.

The battle summary meeting presided over by Yin Jinan was underway, and the commanders of each battalion reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of the troops one by one, and finally when Yang Bin asked how to deal with the more than 100 boxes of opium tobacco that had been seized, An Yi's answer greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Burn! And to burn it openly! ”

An Yi made a decisive decision and explained the reason in detail to the brothers: "If you don't do this this time, you can't do it this time, Kunshan has convenient transportation and developed information, and a little wind and grass will spread all over Shanghai, Nanjing and even the whole country." From now on, all units of our regiment, including every officer and soldier, will not be careless or negligent in the slightest under the watchful eyes of many people and newspaper reporters, otherwise we will not only smash the brand of our 'model battalion', but also affect the image of the entire revolutionary army.

After returning home, we must strictly discipline ourselves and restrain the officers and men under our command, actively solve problems for the people in the garrison during the interval of training, and help the lonely and old people to repair dilapidated houses; the engineer companies of the model battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion must all be dispatched to repair bridges and pave roads and clean up the sanitary dead spots in the cities and towns where they are stationed; every engineer company must regard the construction of small bridges as a part of their training, and the funds will be uniformly allocated by the regiment headquarters.

Don't worry about money, the cash we have obtained in a few enemy camps in Kunshan City alone this time is as high as more than 800,000 yuan, and if we count more than 2,400 long and short guns, 47 light and heavy machine guns, six Hanyang field guns, more than 130 war horses, more than 220 pack horses, more than 400,000 rounds of ammunition of all kinds, 1,600 shells, and a large number of military supplies, the total amount has reached as much as 2.5 million; The confiscated money from the opium tobacco house also amounted to 370,000 yuan, and even if the 370,000 yuan was used to repay the people and society, it was very deserved. You must have a clear understanding of this point, and you might as well take a long-term view, which will only benefit us in the future! ”

The brothers expressed their support for An Yi's decision, and Yin Jinan emphasized to the new head of the Political Work Unit, Captain Li Zhengming:

"Lao Li, after the meeting is dismissed later, you are responsible for going to the street to make the red armbands of the pickets for your eighty officers and soldiers, and customizing new battle flags for each battalion and company. The image of our Reading Force Regiment is too important, and if the estimate is correct, several reporters from home and abroad will arrive one after another, and the commanders and instructors of all battalions must vigorously rectify military discipline after they return home, and must not do anything that damages the image of the revolutionary army! ”

"Yes!"

Li Zhengming, who graduated from the political science department of the third phase of Huangpu, replied loudly, and there was no expression on his square and angular black face.

An Yi added: "Lao Qu, how is the identification of those people who were pulled out of the train going? ”

"It has been completed, 67 enemy officers and soldiers and 31 enemy puppet officials among the passengers have been detained and examined, and according to the instructions of the regiment commander, we let the train go to Suzhou in the early hours of the morning, and most of the passengers on the train expressed their understanding of the actions of our army, and the railway workers even put up slogans celebrating the victory of the revolutionary army." Qu Muchen replied.

An Yi nodded with satisfaction and told the commanders of each battalion to vigorously assist the officers and men of the communications company in erecting telephone lines, and strive to complete the task of installing telephone lines before noon.

Finally, after asking Hu Zi and Yang Bin if they had anything to add, An Yi announced the dismissal of the meeting.

At the end of the meeting, An Yi and Yin Jinan began to inspect the whole city. At this moment, An Yi and his brothers did not know that the first battle of Kunshan gradually caused a strong shock in the whole country because of the severance of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway and the Jiangsu-Shanghai Highway in one fell swoop, and the major impact on Shanghai-Nanjing, Suzhou-Hangzhou and other places, hundreds of Chinese and foreign, Jiangsu-Shanghai-Nanjing major chambers of commerce, and heads of non-governmental organizations were rushing to Kunshan in an endless stream.

The "Central Newspaper Daily" immediately issued a call for the first battle of Kunshan and spoke highly of it, taking the lead in calling this division-level battle the "Kuntai Campaign," and as a spiritual reward for the officers and men of the Second Division's Reading Force Regiment and the Sixth Regiment, the names of General An Yi, General Xu Tingyao, and the Model Battalion were recited again, and in particular, the achievements of the "Tiger Company" of the Sun Army were completely annihilated, which aroused great concern among the major military forces in the north and south, and the prestige of An Yi's regiment spread throughout the country overnight.

In the afternoon of the same day, Shanghai's "Declaration" and Tianjin's "Ta Kung Pao," which had a large sales volume throughout the country, simultaneously published the news of the Kunshan War in a conspicuous position on the first page, invariably fully affirming the great significance and effect of the Kunshan Battle, and exclaiming that Shanghai, Nanjing, and other major cities would soon be under the control of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The profound impact of the First Battle of Kunshan was even more evident in the following night, when Sun Chuanfang's three brigades and one corps stationed around Shanghai retreated under the cover of night, and fled north in panic by sea, and General Bai Chongxi led Xue Yue's division to occupy Longhua at a dizzying speed; General Chen Jiji led the 22nd Division to defeat the defenders of Nanhui and pursued to the shore of the sea with victory; The 2nd and 21st Divisions led by General Liu Zhi and General Cheng Zheng conquered Songjiang and Qingpu and approached Jiading, and Shanghai was surrounded by the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army on three sides.
