Chapter XXIV
Wang Dazhu still went to the front. If the commander of a sharp knife unit cannot take the lead at a critical moment and share the weal and woe with the officers and soldiers, how can he win the support of the soldiers? How can it become the military soul of this army?
However, Gao Quan didn't let Wang Dazhu go to the front like this, after all, the 201 Brigade had already used all its strength, and it hadn't been taken down yet, so it could only be said that these devils they faced were too tough. Even if Wang Dazhu rushed forward, the 201 Brigade was greatly boosted by his encouragement and won this battle, and the troops would definitely suffer heavy losses, which was not Gao Quan's original intention. Therefore, when Wang Dazhu left, Gao Quan handed over the spy battalion and the thousand people in Zheng Guotai's hands to him.
With the help of the brigade commander on the front line and the injection of a new force, such a battle can be won faster.
Wang Dazhu had only been walking for a few minutes when Zhang Erxiao arrived. Looking at Brigade Commander Zhang, who was obviously interested in these devils in the barracks and looked like he had never been addicted, Gao Quan directly ordered the Independent Brigade to take over the key points elsewhere in the city.
After the battle, there was still a lot of work to be done, the city gates had to be armed, the places occupied by the Japanese army had to be carefully searched to prevent any fish from slipping through the net to cause sabotage, and there were people who had to do this work to find out where the devils and traitors stored their weapons and finances, and to maintain order in the city. Although there are cavalry battalions and reconnaissance battalion fighters who are already doing it, the manpower is not so sufficient after all, and it must be much better to have more than a few thousand people in the independent brigade.
Although Zhang Erxiao was a little reluctant in his heart, no one dared to disobey the order of the division, and he took the troops of the independent brigade to various places in the city to carry out the order.
Gao Quan observed the situation on the battlefield. On the front, after Wang Dazhu led more than 1,000 people up, he not only blocked the devils who were rushing outward, but also began to launch a counterattack. This is a real counterattack, although the progress is not fast, but it is forcing the devil into the barracks step by step, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before he breaks into the barracks.
As for the flank troops over there, after blowing up the wall of the devil's barracks, although an arrow unit broke through and was in close contact with the devils inside the wall, it seemed that there was not much progress. What they do is only to distract the devil from attacking with all his might in the front. As for their own gains, it is not so obvious.
"Go over there!"
As soon as Gao Quan moved, it was natural for the guard company to follow, and the hundreds of people in the reconnaissance battalion also moved with him. Liu Qi is still with him. The reason why he said just now that he let the spy battalion follow Wang Dazhu up, and didn't mention the matter of the reconnaissance battalion, was because Gao Quan's own family knew about his own affairs. Since Liu Qi has been by his side, it is to protect him at close range, even if he forcibly sends Liu Qi up, it is estimated that this kid will not be able to work, and he may run back when he will run back.
This was the combat philosophy he had instilled in the reconnaissance battalion at the beginning. The reconnaissance battalion has relatively strong combat autonomy, only doing what it should do, and fully maintaining the mobility of the scouts. Fortunately, Liu Qi has become a special existence among the five hundred divisions, except for Gao Quan, he doesn't buy anyone's account. Even his old boss Qian Sixi, Liu Qi also said that yin is yin, and when he says top, he will top. This kid is unwilling, and it is useless to send him up.
When Gao Quan arrived at the flank, he saw that Wang Jiantang was organizing his troops into echelons and taking turns to put them into the gap.
"Wang Jiantang, what are you doing?" Wang Jiantang heard that the master had come to him in person, so he hurriedly ran over to greet him. After Gao Quan met, he frowned and asked.
"Master, I'm ......"
"That's it!" Gao Quan waved his hand and rudely interrupted Wang Jiantang's explanation, "You don't have to say it! Bring me your platoon. "The artillery battalion of the division headquarters is still at the north gate, and now send someone to transfer it, it will be too delayed, Gao Quan simply asked the artillery platoon in Wang Jiantang's hand to come over.
"Yes!" Wang Jiantang turned around and trotted away. For the orders of the division, he carried out them unconditionally at all times. Although he is now the head of a group, Gao Quan's personal order, Wang Jiantang still thinks that he should do it himself and let others go, which doesn't show his respect for Gao Quan, right?
It didn't take long for two eight-zero mortars and two six-zero mortars to be carried over. Of course, there was also the artillery platoon commander with his soldiers. Units at the level of 500 divisions and regiments are still equipped with mortars, battle defense artillery, howitzers, and other heavy artillery, which can only be found at the division and brigade level.
"Listen to my orders, aim at the wall of the Japanese military camp in front of you, and open fire!" This time, Gao Quan didn't have to personally indicate the coordinates to the artillery. The wall is in sight, such a long wall, there are several cannons here, and there are plenty of shells, how can it not hit?
Sure enough, with a few soft sounds, little crows rose into the air and quickly flew in the direction of the Japanese military camp.
"Boom! Thundered! ”
In the loud bang, the firelight flashed, the smoke rose, and the bricks and stones flew wildly! Inside the wall, a mournful howl sounded in the Japanese camp, and the Japanese soldiers who were not in a good position were killed and injured by shells, broken bricks and tiles. Looking at the place where the wall was hit by shells, it suddenly opened up, and a gap more than ten meters wide was in sight!
"Shift positions now!" After finishing speaking, Gao Quan took the lead in turning around and leaving. There are cannons inside the devil's wall, and as soon as the artillery position here is exposed, the next thing must be the devil's artillery retaliation.
Sure enough, less than five minutes after Gao Quan left, the devil's shell fell on the mortar position just now, fortunately, the soldiers of the artillery company moved quickly, otherwise these precious guns would have to be explained here.
What is the purpose of Gao Quan's order to blow up the wall? This question does not need to be answered at all, anyone understands. Wang Jiantang, who was the commander of the regiment, began to assemble the reserve team when Gao Quan ordered his artillery platoon to shell the devil's wall. By the time the artillery was transferred, all the capable combatants of the 504th Regiment were already in neat positions.
"Target, devil barracks, kill!" Wang Jiantang shouted and took the lead in rushing towards the gap in the devil's wall. The two thousand officers and soldiers of the 504th Regiment shouted in unison, and with their regiment commander, they rushed to the devil camp together!
Of course, the devils are not stupid, after the wall was blown down, the devils who understood what was going on immediately gathered hundreds of people at the gap in the wall, in a vain attempt to block the attack of our army.
Wang Jiantang has a big knife in one hand and a box cannon in the other, as the commander of the regiment, he takes the lead and leads the soldiers to attack the devils in the gap!
The devils bombarded with grenadiers and strafed with machine guns. Our soldiers threw grenades, and from time to time they lay down to dodge while marching, and shot at the devils with rifles, machine guns, and pistols in their hands. Although there were a few fires on the battlefield, the darkness of the night still seriously affected the sight of the two armies, and the accuracy of both sides was much worse than usual.
