Chapter 241 Entering Dengfeng
Zhang Peng and Zhang Chenggong immediately changed their deployment after receiving the telegram and withdrew the ambushed troops. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The devil reinforcements in the three counties were cautious all the way, for fear of being ambushed.
The devil is not stupid, he has been learning China since the Tang Dynasty, and they are also the allusions of the encirclement and reinforcement.
Reinforcements arrived, and the arrogance of the devils in the county town suddenly rose.
The leader of the devil squadron in Dengfeng County even clamored to go out of the city to destroy the invading enemy army.
Fortunately, the captain of the devil brigade who came to support did not have a hot head, "Baga! The situation of the enemy forces outside the city is unknown, and our task is to hold the county seat of Dengfeng. Don't do anything extraneous. ”
"Hey! Your Excellency Nakasa, as far as we have ascertained, only one battalion of the Central Army is needed outside the city. ”
"Yaga!" The group leader raised his hand and slapped the squadron leader in both mouths.
"The latest news from the special high class, Zhang Guochang's three armies have disappeared from Nanyang, maybe his troops are waiting for you to go out of the city outside, remember...... Our mission is to hold the county seat of Dengfeng! ”
"Hey!" The squadron leader bowed upright.
The tradition of devils has always been to stand up when beaten.
The offensive and defensive battles of the three counties have become very interesting, one side is not in a hurry to attack, and the other side is not in a hurry to defend.
The three armies of the 99th Group Army attacked the three county towns separately, and only one battalion of troops was sent to participate in the attack at a time, and the other two battalions were on standby nearby to prevent the devils from counterattacking.
All armies strictly carried out Zhang Guochang's order, and the attacking troops rotated once every two days, and the guns were aimed and then fired.
In such a low-intensity war environment, the military quality of the soldiers has improved very quickly.
After two days of fighting, the recruits became veterans.
In this way, the devil's strength was slowly eaten, and in a month, the devil had increased his troops three times, and half of the devil's army had been buried in each county.
Just when the devil felt unbearable and was about to give up the three county towns, the 99th Group Army had almost trained and started the second phase of the battle.
In the morning, the gendarmerie department of the devils in Dengfeng County, the captain of the devil's wing, Jiro Sasaki, was waiting for the order of the headquarters.
The telegram he asked for to be transferred had been sent to the headquarters for three days, but the headquarters had not given the order, and according to his fellow villagers who worked at the headquarters, the headquarters was hesitating.
I am afraid that once the county seat of Dengfeng is abandoned, it will bring a series of unexpected consequences, and even affect the entire battle of Wuhan.
"Report! Your Excellency, the Chinese army has begun to attack! A devil captain ran in in a panic to report.
"Yaga! The Chinese army did not attack that day? Sasaki Jiro was furious and shouted and cursed.
"Joint ...... His Excellency Wing Commander ......"
"Boom...... Rumble! ”
"Boom...... Rumble! Rumble! A burst of heavy artillery fire drowned out the captain's words.
This is a test launch.
Sure enough, the explosion then became more and more violent, and the windows of the gendarmerie department rattled.
"Nani? Where did the cannons come from for the Chinese army? Sasaki was shocked.
From the explosion of artillery fire, Sasaki can tell that this is the sound of 105 howitzers, and there are at least more than twenty guns.
He was a little puzzled, where did the people get so many 105 howitzers.
Playing like a family, playing with the little devil for more than a month, the soldiers have long held back the fire in their stomachs.
Now that I have received an order to attack, it is not a matter of stuffing shells into the barrel of the cannon.
Half an hour of artillery fire was ready to end.
Bullets rained down on the walls, and the little devils were stupefied by the onslaught of the onslaught.
By the time the little devil reacted, the 5th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the 1st Army of the 99th Group Army, which was in charge of the attack, had already rushed under the city wall.
"Yaga! Damn the Chinese people, great cunning! How can you ...... like this," a devil squad leader scolded.
What kind of people lead what kind of soldiers, the 99th Group Army also followed Zhang Guochang's learning, and did not play cards according to routines.
He didn't blow the trumpet of the charge, and the artillery fire was ready to end, and he directly launched the charge.
In fact, the little devils are like this, they never blow any charge trumpets, it's just that they are used to the Chinese army, and they blow the charge trumpets before attacking.
Zhang Shaochen, the head of the Fifth Regiment, was also depressed, and as the head of the regiment, he led the way to the city.
The city gate tower had been blown up in the preparation of the artillery fire just now.
"Bang!"
"Bang...... Bang! ”
Zhang Shaochen carried two shell pistols, opened his bow left and right, and shot at the devil again and again.
He was very happy, but the guards were in a hurry, and they followed him with a gun, and they didn't care about shooting, they looked around vigilantly, ready to block bullets for his regiment commander at any time.
The regiment commander is so desperate, not to mention the soldiers below, one by one, like tigers, they pounce viciously on the devils.
The results of the two-month live-fire training and the more than one month of actual combat training were fully reflected.
Under the leadership of the battalion and company commander, the soldiers charged and shot at the same time, basically three shots could hit one devil, and ten shots could kill one devil.
This is a remarkable achievement, you must know that Chen Cheng once counted in history that the Chinese army used to need 100 rounds of bullets to hit a devil, and 500 rounds of bullets to kill a devil.
The streets were full of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops who had been routed and scattered and fled.
The air was filled with gunpowder smoke and there was a stench, and after more than a month of siege, it was not only the devils who could not bear it, but also the Chinese people in the city who were even more bitter.
It is always the common people who suffer from the war, especially in the second half of the month, when a large number of people trapped in the city starve to death every day.
At first, the devils would send people to clean up the dead bodies, but later more and more people starved to death, and the devils didn't have enough manpower, so they didn't bother to clean up.
Thanks to the winter, if more people die in the summer, there will be an outbreak of plague.
Zhang Shaochen chased the devil's ass and killed all the way to the gendarmerie department.
The two barge pistols had long since run out of bullets, and I don't know where they were thrown.
Now Zhang Shaochen is holding a light machine gun, rushing to the front, and when he encounters the devil who resists, he is a shuttle past.
The guards cooperated well with him, and after Zhang Shaochen finished shooting, the guards would throw two grenades over.
At the door of the gendarmerie, the devils did not come at all and organized an effective defense.
The fifth regiment rushed too fast, and it was only about ten minutes from the end of the artillery fire preparation.
Before a large number of devils could organize resistance, they were scattered by the Fifth Regiment, and then killed by the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment who followed behind.
If you want to surrender, you can't do it, Li Jin secretly gave an order in front of the station, don't leave the following prisoners.
The general trend has gone, and Sasaki, who is powerless to return to the sky, burned the flag of the wing, and was about to end his life with a katana, but unfortunately God didn't want to be so cheap for him.
Zhang Shaochen kicked the door open, "Bang! "Knock out the katana in Sasaki's hand with one shot.
grinning, "Hey, hey! Catch a little loach! ”
