The night was gentle, and Zaozhuang City was silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the northwest corner of Zaozhuang City, a small group of people quietly came to the city wall, a black shadow took out a flying claw, and was about to throw it on the city wall, suddenly, a large figure flashed on the city wall, and then the guns rang out.

Zhang Quan, the special operations captain who was in charge of the command in front, couldn't help but bleed in his heart: he was ambushed by devils! That's a squad of special operators.

The Tiger Brigade's plan for a surprise attack was discovered.

It turned out that Ryosuke Isoya received a report that a force of men and horses known as the Lunan Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army suddenly attacked various counties along the railway. Ryosuke Isoya has a headache, but he can't take care of these things at all now, and the Seya detachment in Taierzhuang is still waiting for him to rescue!

In Zaozhuang, the left-behind troops, logistics, field hospitals, etc. of the 10th Division are also key targets, and Ryosuke Isoya has no choice, so he sent a staff officer to go back to command the defense of Zaozhuang.

This Nakasa staff officer is named Sasaki, and he is a powerful character. He has been a lieutenant general in history.

Sasaki didn't know that the enemy was the Tiger Brigade, but he had to ensure the safety of Zaozhuang, so he temporarily organized the troops in Zaozhuang City. At this time, the Japanese army in Zaozhuang had a total of 1,244 combatants and 386 non-combatants.

He divided the fighters into two parts, and took turns to go to the city wall to guard it. Be prepared for sneak attacks.

Zhang Quan sent people to steal the city, and the number of Japanese troops on the city wall was relatively large, and the special combat team's attempt was discovered.

Seeing the situation in the summer, there was nothing good to do, so he had to order the troops to open fire. However, he did not let the troops attack, only feints. He's going to open the gap himself.

Bergman, Xu Feihu and others did not agree with him going. Bergman said: "Brigade Commander Xia, I think you are an incompetent general. You always take risks like this, what if something happens, who will command the army?

Also, you always go into battle in person, how can the troops be trained? You can't always fight the war alone, right? ”

Xu Feihu said: "Brother Tian, if you want to go, I'll go, I can do it too." ”

Xia Chao said: "It's not that I can't trust you. Our Tiger Brigade is congenitally deficient, and since the beginning of the Tiger Brigade, there has been no time to train systematically. Let's just talk about this batch of recruits, who have only been trained for more than a month. The run-in between the troops was also not good. Have you seen the casualty figures of the past few days? ”

After Xia Chao finished speaking, Bergman and Xu Feihu were silent.

From yesterday to now, the Tiger Brigade has attacked various county towns, and although the number of devil puppet troops is small, it has caused great casualties to the Tiger Brigade Brigade. In total, 467 people were killed and almost 1 thousand wounded. Even the special combat personnel, plus those who died just now, there are more than 20 people.

Xia Chao said: "Today's situation, it is clear that the devils have taken precautions, and the casualties of the assault will be very large. The battle in Taierzhuang is tight, and there is no time. I'll do it myself again this time, and I'll not take it as an example. ”

Xia Chao took Zhang Quan and a few fast runners around the city wall of Zaozhuang and came to a place where the Japanese firepower was weak.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, they found a canal about 40 meters from the city wall. At the sound of an order from the summer court, they began to throw grenades at the city walls.

Each of them threw five grenades in a row, and there should be no living people on at least a 50-meter-long section of the city wall.

Xia Chao and Zhang Quan quickly ran to the city wall, and Xia Chao was not at ease, so he threw three grenades at the city wall one after another. To make sure that there were no devils nearby for the time being, he threw out his flying claws, and in less than 10 seconds, the people had already gone up.

As soon as he got on the city wall, he saw devils moving here on both sides, he took off his backpack, took out a grenade and threw it, the grenade fell extremely accurately in the group of devils, he threw more than a dozen grenades in one go, at least within 100 meters, the devils were killed.

At this time, Zhang Quan had already come up, and he was in charge of the devil on the right, sweeping with a machine gun. Summer Chao then threw a grenade at the devil on the left.

The special operators came up one after another. They signaled to the troops outside the city, who came up with ladders.

Xia Chao and Zhang Quan jumped off the city wall and went up to the roof of a house, preparing to block the counterattacking Japanese army.

Sasaki received a report that the enemy had breached the wall in the southwest corner and hurriedly came to support with a mobile squad.

At this time, many soldiers had come up on the city wall, and more than a dozen machine guns had come up, and the powerful firepower suppressed the reinforcements of the devils at a distance of 150 meters.

Summer looked at the location of the devil and threw grenades vigorously, some of them landed, and some of them exploded in the air. The explosion killed and injured the devils.

The devil was suppressed by the machine gun and wanted to throw a grenade to return fire, but the distance was 150 meters, and he couldn't reach it. In a few moments, the squad was almost dead.

Sasaki was lucky not to die, but he was extremely helpless about the current situation. At the beginning of the battle, he felt that the enemy besieging the city was strong, so he sent all his troops to the city wall, and he only had this small squad in reserve.

He felt that it was over, and Zaozhuang couldn't hold it.

He ran back to the headquarters, sent a farewell telegram to Ryosuke Isoya, and then took the gendarmerie squad to the divisional field hospital. He organized the wounded soldiers and male military doctors in the hospital and prepared to hold out. At the same time, it was ordered that all female medical personnel be gathered in a large room, guarded by a gendarmerie squad.

Zaozhuang's city defense was broken, Zhang Quan led his troops to capture the west gate from the city, and the main force of the Tiger Brigade poured into the city.

The devils guarding the four walls lost contact with Sasaki and fought separately, fighting with the Tiger Brigade in the streets.

The second battalion of the third regiment of the Tiger Brigade surrounded the field hospital of the devils.

The commander of the 3rd Company of the 2nd Battalion felt that the field hospital of the devil should be easy to fight, so he commanded the troops to rush in, but they were fiercely returned fire, killing and wounding more than a dozen soldiers.

When the battalion commander Zhang Hu saw it, he immediately brought in all the light and heavy machine guns in the battalion to suppress the firepower of the devils. He then organized the fighters to throw grenades into the devil's hospital. Hundreds of grenades were thrown in, and the devil basically stopped moving.

Field hospitals were taken down. Sasaki also died. Zhang Hu entered the hospital, and a soldier came to report and asked him to take a look inside the room.

I saw that in a large room, there were many corpses of ghost children and medical personnel, all of whom had been killed by bayonets, and the appearance was extremely miserable.

Zhang Hu asked the commander of the 3rd company and said, "You did it?" ”

The commander of the 3rd company shook his head and said, "No, that's how it was when we came in." ”

It turned out that Sasaki, a fanatical militarist, thought that their Yamato nation was the best and that it would be a shame for them that their women could not fall into the hands of the enemy, so when he felt that the field hospital could not be held, he ordered the gendarmerie squad to masshouse these female medical personnel.

Zhang Hu said: "These devils are really not fucking human, and they are so cruel to their own people." It's okay, the provincial Lao Tzu is embarrassed. ”

The battle ended at 5 a.m.

Xia Chao, Bergman, Xu Feihu and others came to the headquarters of the devils.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the results of the battle were counted, and more than 1,600 people left behind by the devils were annihilated, and the capture was huge, and they were being counted. The Tiger Brigade suffered 772 casualties.

The casualties were not small, but the troops were trained and worth it. Xia Chao immediately sent a telegram to Li Zongren.
