Chapter 64: Automobile Squadron
However, if he fought head-on, his own strength would definitely not be the opponent of a devil brigade that strengthened two artillery squadrons. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If you can kill the devil's artillery at the beginning of the war, then this battle will be fought, Li Han does not require that he must defeat the Japanese army, but at least he can ensure that the troops will not be defeated by the Japanese army.
At the north gate of Fengning City, the troops of the Guyuan Anti-Japanese Brigade are going to the distance through the city gate, and the people in the city spontaneously rushed to see off the troops.
During the war years, how the common people hoped that their own army would be stationed in the city, which could help them maintain that life that was not rich but relatively stable.
The troops only stayed in Fengning for one day, and so many landlords, squires and famous families sent money and food to themselves, hoping that Li Han and them could stay in Fengning, so that they would no longer live the life of slaves in exile.
It's a pity that the Japanese didn't let themselves live in peace, and just after recovering a county town, the devil's army came. In order not to burn the flames of war to the newly liberated city, Li Han decided to lead his troops to attack the paddock, and then meet the large Japanese army there.
The paddock is the same as Fengning, only one squadron of devils is guarded, and then there is a pseudo-legion. Li Han has seen the combat power of the puppet army, and if he fights head-on, the battle of a regiment is equivalent to a little more than a squad of the Japanese army.
The large army of devils in Chengde had already set off, and there was not much time left for Li Han, so he planned to directly attack and take the paddock, and then rely on the vast area of the two counties to fight the devils.
At that time, whether it is a guerrilla war or a positional war, there will be enough room for maneuver, and if it is really not possible, it will retreat to Chahar. Anyway, it is impossible for the devil's army to stay in Fengning for a while, and then fight back when the devil is gone.
After the large army left the city, Li Han did not follow the large army to move together, he selected more than 200 relatively short soldiers from the brigade, changed into captured Japanese military uniforms and weapons, disguised himself as a Japanese squadron, drove the captured car, and went straight to the paddock.
Of course, with more than 200 people, it is definitely not enough to capture two Japanese military vehicles, but Li Han does not lack anything now, that is, there is no shortage of cars.
I randomly selected six cars from my own car, painted them with paint to the same color as the devil's car, and was able to paint the devil's plaster flag pattern, and the six devil military cars were baked.
As for whether the brand and style of the car are the same, there is no need to worry about this at all. The Japanese army occupied the hometown of the Northeast Army and seized a large number of automobiles, both civilian and military.
It is impossible for so many car devils to be pulled back to the factory to be rebuilt, let alone destroyed on the spot, and it is not like Li Han to casually draw a plaster flag pattern, and then shamelessly engrave the words made in Japan, and it will become something produced by the Japanese.
At this time, the paddock county was already in the rumor, and the captain of the Japanese army Koike squadron, who was responsible for guarding the paddock, had already transferred all the soldiers who could be seen in Fengning City to defend the city.
Even the Japanese ronin in the city were temporarily requisitioned by him, which shows that the fall of the Imura squadron has caused a great shadow in his heart.
Fortunately, as soon as he received a telegram from the captain not long ago, he learned that the younger brother of the captain of the wing, Yoshio Yamashita, had already led the 11th Infantry Brigade to recover Fengning.
His Excellency the Captain told Koike not to worry, as long as he held the paddock well, as for Fengning's Shina Army, Yamashita Yoshio Shaozo would be responsible for destroying it. Although the captain said it lightly, Captain Koike seemed to hear a sour smell from it.
Captain Koike understood the captain's feelings very well, and the Imura squadron was a member of the 12th Infantry Brigade like him, but the wing commander gave the 11th Brigade the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. It's a pity that the official level crushes people to death, and the co-captain wants to favor his younger brother, and the captain is helpless.
Of course, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Imura squadron, Captain Koike still transferred all the troops from all over the paddock back to the county seat.
He knew that as long as he kept the county seat, it didn't matter if the rest of the place was occupied by the Chinese people.
As long as the large forces of the imperial army have eliminated the Chinese army that dared to make trouble in Fengning, everything will still be back in the control of the imperial army.
As a direct result of Koike's approach, all the towns and villages in Weichang County were occupied by local rebels except for the county seat, and for a time there was a smell of wolf smoke in all parts of Weichang County.
When Li Han entered the paddock area with the disguised troops of the Cheng Japanese army, he was attacked by the local forces.
In the past, Li Han could have sat down with them and had a good talk, but this time Li Han planned to pretend to be a devil to deceive the city gate, and he didn't dare to tell the truth to these anti-Japanese armed forces with almost no organization and discipline.
The quality of these anti-Japanese armed personnel was uneven, and even many of them turned out to be local bandits and bandits.
Besides, during the Republic of China, the devil's spies can be said to be all over the land of China, and no one knows where there are devil spies.
Li Han's detachment was specially used to deal with devils, and its combat effectiveness was not something that the anti-Japanese armed forces of the militia nature could confront it, and they easily repelled the local armed forces, nor did they love war, and rushed to the county seat with all their might.
Moreover, these people attacked, and inadvertently did Li Han a favor, confirming that there was a Japanese army unit that was approaching the county seat.
And the news quickly reached Koike's ears, which shows how wise Li Han was not to tell his true identity.
Otherwise, the best outcome is that the stealing of the city is unsuccessful, if Xiao Chi is smart enough to plan to lure the king into the urn, then the entire detachment will not escape the danger of annihilation.
"Could it be that Yamashita Yoshio sent the troops, but he didn't receive a telegram about this! Forget it, it seems that we will have to wait until they arrive and ask for the details. ”
Captain Koike was also full of doubts, but judging from the intelligence from the spy department, this unit should be the unit of the Imperial Army, because the combat effectiveness of this unit is very strong, and it is impossible for the Imperial Allied Army to have this combat effectiveness if it can easily defeat the anti-Japanese forces that block them.
And in this land, apart from the imperial army, Koike really can't think of anyone else who will attack the anti-Japanese forces.
"It may be that Yamashita Yoshio Shaozo was worried that the Shina Army knew that it was not an opponent and ran away, and wanted to let himself drag them down, but he was worried that he would not have enough troops, so he sent a squadron of soldiers to support him."
The more Captain Koike thought about it, the more likely it became, and he thought he was destined to be a bystander of this battle, but he didn't expect joy to fall from the sky, and it seems that Amaterasu treats me well.
After coming to Shina for so long, Koike felt that his mood had never thought that he had been up and down like today, just like he had been on a roller coaster.
Of course, there was no roller coaster in that era, so Captain Koike didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings.
In order to be in a hurry, the soldiers of the entire detachment all took cars, and after defeating several local armed forces composed of bandits, they arrived outside the town of Weichang in less than half a day.
Of course, the anti-Japanese forces repelled by Li Han actually did not suffer a substantial blow, and in any case, they dared to attack the Japanese at this time, which deserved Li Han's respect. So he basically opened the road with machine guns all the way, and he didn't even stop the car halfway.
As long as those anti-Japanese forces were not blocked on the road, there was basically no major damage, and some armed forces were unwilling and wanted to pursue Li Han and them, but how could they catch up with the four-wheeled truck with two legs. I could only watch Li Han and his party go away.
Click......!
Although the brakes were slammed, the bulky car was still driven by inertia and slid for several meters, and a few devils who came to inquire suddenly jumped, thinking that they were going to have a car accident.
I was about to scold the other party for not having long eyes, but I saw the car door being opened and a lieutenant got out of the car.
"Hello sir!"
A few little devils immediately swallowed the words that were ready to curse back into their stomachs, hurriedly stood up straight, and saluted the captain officer, who was as big as his own squadron leader.
"Yo Si! Take me to your chief at once! Li Han pretended to be an arrogant devil officer and ordered loudly.
"Sir, please wait a minute, I'll report now."
The devil soldiers guarding the gate did not suspect Li Han's identity, because the cars Li Han was in were all Japanese military cars, a car for thirty people, and there were eight cars.
And on the roof of each car, there were two soldiers with a Type 92 heavy machine gun, murderously guarding the surroundings.
Such elite troops can only appear in the imperial army, and a few devils take it for granted in their hearts. Besides, a mechanized squadron is rare even in the imperial army.
Several devils even began to speculate whether Li Han's was a nobleman, otherwise it would be impossible to command such a luxurious squadron. They would never have imagined that this well-equipped mechanized squadron was actually pretended by the cowardly Chi Na people in their eyes.
Of course, as a common practice in the army, the devil soldiers still want to report to their leaders first. After all, the two units are not subordinate to each other, and they may have to fight together in the future, and as the commanders of the two armies, they must get acquainted with each other first.
In order to make up enough eight machine guns, Li Han had already transferred all the Type 92 heavy machine guns from the three squadrons. Even the two machine guns promised to Li Yong yesterday were requisitioned by him, which made him a little embarrassed to speak.
Seeing the devil's reaction, Li Han finally breathed a sigh of relief, all his previous preparations were rewarded at this moment, and the next things were much easier.
"Yaga!"
"Take me to your chief at once"
Li Han didn't say a word, rushed up and slapped the leader directly.
