Chapter 177: Gathering Annihilation

Bang!

A grenade landed near the machine gunner of the second platoon, killing both the machine gunner and the co-shooter who were firing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After losing a machine gun, the firepower of the second platoon suddenly weakened, and the bandits also took the opportunity to charge forward.

"Flathead, go up with your machine gun crew!"

"Yes!"

Soon, a machine gun team was added and fired at the bandits in front of them.

Deng Yu, the commander of the first battalion not far away, calmly commanded the battle, and Biantou was now the commander of the first company, and the cadres of the first battalion suffered serious losses, and Biantou's performance was also good.

So after Deng Yu reported to Deng Zishan, Biantou was promoted to the company commander of a battalion and a company by the line of fire, but there are only about 20 people left in the company, and Deng Yu has formed a large machine gun group.

Although Liu Guitang's number was still three or four times that of the 19th Regiment, after the artillery company and heavy machine gun company came up, they were able to calmly face Liu Guitang's attack.

In one afternoon, Liu Guitang and these bandits actually launched more than ten charges towards Chicheng County, directly from one o'clock in the afternoon to six o'clock in the evening, but when it came to bandits, they couldn't even raise the two hands of the Japanese who were only responsible for firing the artillery.

After nightfall, neither the 19th Regiment nor Liu Guitang's people had to stop to repair the troops. The 19th Regiment is okay, they are regular troops after all, although their combat effectiveness is not strong at night, but they can still fight.

However, Liu Guitang's people are not good, if these bandits are allowed to attack the city overnight, without Deng Zishan's action, these people may collapse without attacking.

And Liu Guitang obviously knew this, so even if he was already anxious, he had to ask the troops to stop and repair.

In the dark of night, an army of thousands of people quietly appeared in the territory of Chicheng County.

After getting Li Han's order, Lin Youzhi took the independent brigade and began to rush non-stop, in order to speed up, Lin Youzhi put the artillery battalion aside and advanced lightly with two regiments. Finally, I arrived in Akagi when it was dark.

"Tuanzuo, Brigade Commander Lin of the Independent Brigade called, they have now arrived at the periphery of Chicheng and are ready to attack at any time, Brigade Commander Lin also asked us about the specific situation of Chicheng now, and the distribution of Liu Guitang's troops."

A staff officer ran directly from the telegraph room to Deng Zishan's headquarters with a telegram.

Deng Zishan's face also showed a smile, not only him, but also several battalions who were meeting in the headquarters also showed joy on their faces, the reinforcements of the independent brigade are coming, and the end of Liu Guitang has come.

This time to block Liu Guitang, Deng Zishan's 19th Regiment suffered a lot of losses this time, and his strength was already at a disadvantage, two of the three infantry battalions came, plus the troops directly under the regiment headquarters, it was only about 1,600 people.

Liu Guitang's total strength was more than 7,000 people, and he was also equipped with a large number of mortars and grenadiers, and what was even worse was that the regular Japanese artillery was helping them operate, and the reason why the first battalion suffered so many casualties was mainly because the Japanese suppressed their firepower.

"Chief of Staff, you report the details of our situation here to Chief Lin, and the commander of the first battalion and the commander of the second battalion immediately go back to gather the troops, and after the brothers of the independent brigade make a move, they will immediately rush out and attack with the brother troops."

Deng Zishan said excitedly, although Liu Guitang had an advantage in numbers, but the regular army of his dignified national government was surrounded and beaten by a group of bandits, and he always held his breath in his heart.

After talking to Deng Zishan, Lin Youzhi quickly arranged the battle plan, defeating these bandits was just a matter of being able to capture them, and the key was not to let Liu Guitang take advantage of the chaos to escape.

He is the person who is hand-picked by the military seat to die, in Chahar, the military seat is the emperor of the soil, and the military seat wants Liu Guitang to die, so don't think about living.

Thundered......

Although the artillery battalion was not brought over, the two artillery batteries under the independent brigade combined had 30 mortars, and the other units directly under the brigade headquarters also had more than 10 mortars combined, and at the same time they opened fire on the station of Liu Guitang's troops in the dark night.

Dozens of mortars fired together, this battle was more powerful than his shelling of those mountain guns and infantry guns, and the rumbling explosions continued to sound, and Liu Guitang's station was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire purgatory.

The Japanese were the first targets to be hit, and their coordinates were provided by the commander of Deng Zishan's artillery company.

He fought an artillery battle with the devil for an afternoon, although he was always at a disadvantage, and even half of the mortars were blown up, but the devil's artillery position was clearly felt by him.

When dozens of shells from the mortar group of the Independent Brigade fell on the camp of the devils, half of the 300 devil soldiers were lost on the spot, of which artillery accounted for eighty percent.

After firing three shells in the direction of the devil's camp at the same time, the artillerymen got to the point and began to hit Liu Guitang's bandits.

The violent explosion completely enveloped the entire main force, whether it was Liu Guitang's bandit troops or the Japanese soldiers who came with Miki, they all suffered a catastrophe.

In a few rounds of shelling, at least three-quarters of the Japanese died, and only a few dozen people remained with Miki Nakasa, and Liu Guitang's people died even more.

In the face of the sudden shelling, not to mention Liu Guitang, even Miki was confused, and the reinforcements of the security army came too quickly, and the intensity of the shelling made him even more frightened.

However, Miki was the deputy wing commander of the Japanese army, and he quickly woke up from the shock, and he didn't even have time to get angry, so he hid in the bunker with the remnants of dozens of Japanese soldiers and began to break through secretly.

Although he was very reluctant to do this, because it was equivalent to losing the battle, and it was still lost to the Chinese whom they despised, Miki knew that this was the most correct choice in the current situation.

Miki, a man who walks in China and watches the sky, has chosen to flee, not to mention Liu Guitang, who has already lost more than half of his troops after a battle during the day, and his morale has fallen to the lowest.

This big night was bombarded by a burst of artillery fire from the security army, and everyone was in chaos, and Liu Guitang also knew that he was completely planted this time. But until the last minute, he will not admit defeat.

Liu Guitang tried his best to stabilize a few cronies and officers, and at the same time gathered his troops and began to break through.

And Lin Youzhi also opened fire at the same time, personally led the soldiers of the Independent Brigade to attack Liu Guitang, the bandits were originally blown up by the artillery, and after the thousands of people of the Independent Brigade rushed over, they were even more completely defeated.

After a fierce attack, Liu Guitang's troops were directly divided into two halves, and then he and Yan Chihuo each led a regiment and began to attack separately.

In particular, Yan Chihuo's 17th Regiment had a Mauser rifle in hand, pistols and submachine guns in front of it were opening the way, and there were dozens of 80 mortars 'tom tom tom' ringing non-stop, and the already chaotic bandit troops were scattered in an instant.

"Capture Liu Guitang alive! Brothers, follow me! ”

The 19th Regiment in Chicheng County also took the opportunity to kill, and the commander of the first battalion shouted loudly to capture Liu Guitang alive.

"Capture Liu Guitang alive! Kill! ”

By the time the 19th Regiment came out, the bandits had basically given up resistance, and the battle Deng Yu was looking forward to had turned into a prisoner competition.

Liu Guitang is not dead-eyed, otherwise he would have lived for so long, after seeing that the army had completely collapsed, he began to think about the way back, escaping is a must, he has been with Li Han for a long time, and this time he killed thousands of civilians in Chahar, I don't believe that it will be difficult to escape death if caught by Li Han.

But Liu Guitang didn't want to die yet, he survived when there were only a few dozen people, not to mention that there are still hundreds of people around him, hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, and a huge reputation over the years.

Liu Guitang is confident that as long as he goes out and raises his arms, there will definitely be countless bandits and bandits who will come to him, this is the use of prestige, prestige is not only in the system of officials, but also bandits.

"Throw off all the stumbling things, the horses will be killed, and no wives and children will be left."

Liu Guitang summoned several regiment commanders and battalion commanders under his command and ordered them.

The battalion commanders of several regiments all looked at Liu Guitang with shocked faces, in their opinion, other things can be thrown away, and it doesn't matter if even the wife is gone.

Besides, if their wives are captured, they will become someone else's woman, and these bandits are all selfish masters, and if they can't get it, others don't want to have it.

But tiger venom doesn't eat children, let them kill their own children, and there are really few who can do it.

Seeing that his subordinates were silent and no one moved, Liu Guitang said fiercely: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." When you arrive in Shandong and Henan, Lao Tzu will get dozens of female college students for each of you, young and beautiful. ”

As if he felt that this was not convincing enough, Liu Guitang first killed several of his wives, and then ordered a pistol team and machine guns to shoot a burst of strafing, killing all the family members, children, mules and horses in the team, and then began to lead the remnants to break through.

"Brigade, Liu Guitang is really not as good as a brute, and even his wife can still do it." Yan Chihuo said.

It was the first time he had seen such an inhuman person, and it was no wonder that the military seat wanted to exterminate him, this kind of inhuman madman was the most destructive.

"Brother Yan is right, but Liu Guitang is cunning and cunning, and he took advantage of the chaos to run away, which makes us explain to the military seat.

Ordered all regiments and battalions to carefully search Chicheng County within a radius of fifty miles, Liu Guitang would definitely not be able to run far, and also sent a telegram to the military seat to see what the military seat said. ”

Lin Youzhi said with regret. watched the dejected captives pass by in front of his eyes, but Lin Youzhi was not happy at all.

Neither he nor Li Han ever regarded Liu Guitang's Chadong guerrilla detachment as an opponent, and the only one who was a little troublesome was Liu Guitang himself.

This old bandit has a great appeal in the ranks of bandits, and if he can't be killed, it won't take a few years for him to pull up another team of bandits.
