Chapter Twenty-Four: A Night Attack on the Japanese Army
"Very well, now I will assign a combat mission. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Seeing that the morale of the brothers had been raised, Li Han was relieved that the next meeting was the theme of today.
"The Japanese army is responsible for attacking Chaoyang Road this time, of course, the area of Chaoyang Road is so large, it is impossible for the Japanese army to attack us all, so this time our main opponent is a brigade under the Kumamoto Wing of the Japanese army, and the captain is called Nokan Shinichi."
"The Yekan Brigade is a full-fledged brigade under the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, with the same number as our battalion, and has a machine gun squadron with twelve Type 92 heavy machine guns; An artillery squad with two Type 92 infantry guns. In addition, the Yekan Brigade had already sent a squadron as the vanguard to occupy the town of Niujiabao. ”
Li Han explained the general situation and let everyone express their opinions.
Wang Dazhu, Lin Youzhi, Hu Zhi, Wang Wei and others heard that a squadron of devils had occupied Niujiabao Town, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
In the Republic of China, he has always been arrogant, so that the devil's actions have become unsightly, and they do not take our army into account at all.
There are at most 200 devils in a squadron, but there are more than 1,000 people in the fourth battalion, and they far surpass the Japanese army in terms of weapons and equipment.
"Battalion commander, do you still need to think about this! The little devils have been sent to the door, and we don't entertain people well, which is unreasonable! Wang Dazhu said with a smile.
Niujiapu Town, which is only more than 10 miles away from Jianping County, was just occupied by the Second Squadron of the Yekan Brigade this morning. Since the beginning of the war, the Japanese army has been advancing all the way, and there has been little resistance from the formation along the way, and in only one day, it has taken the important town of Kailu in Rebei, which is basically not much different from the speed of the march.
This atmosphere of easy victory created an attitude of many Japanese officers who believed that the Northeast Army was vulnerable, including Captain Koizumi, the pioneer of the Japanese army in charge of the attack on Jianping County, and that they had detailed information before the start of the war, so they knew themselves and their opponents.
There was only one battalion of the Northeast Army guarding Jianping, and generally there were only four or five hundred people in one battalion of the Chinese army, but the wing commander let a large group of soldiers attack, and Captain Koizumi thought that the wing commander was simply killing chickens with a knife, which was an insult to the honor of the imperial warriors.
In his opinion, what can be an opponent with a brigade of the empire must be at least a brigade of Chinese troops. Therefore, Captain Koizumi specially asked Yekan Shaozo to fight, and asked Shaozo to rest for a while in the back, and he promised that in less than two hours, he could invite His Excellency Shaozo to enter Jianping County to rest.
Nokan was bigger than Koizumi, and of course his knowledge was a little wider than Koizumi, and his brigade did not come specifically to attack Jianping County, but to clear away the resistance forces in the eastern part of Rehe and clear all obstacles for the large army to attack Chengde.
Of course, for an imperial officer like Koizumi who has the courage to perform and take responsibility, Nokan Shaozo feels that he should give him a chance, anyway, the opponent has only one battalion, and it is enough to have an imperial warrior of Koizumi's squadron. Even if you can't take it, you can quickly reinforce it after you finish repairing it yourself.
After Koizumi entered Niujiapu Town, the people in the town immediately fell with blood mold, and the nature of the Japanese army and beasts was completely exposed, and they wantonly robbed, raped, and killed people in the town, and did all the evil things that human beings could think of.
Many big girls and little daughters-in-law in the town have been killed, and there are unbridled laughter and women's cries everywhere, and Koizumi has occupied several good families by himself.
Koizumi never thought that the Northeast Army defending the city would dare to take the initiative with such a small number of troops. And it will come so quickly, after Li Yong's reconnaissance platoon discovered this Japanese army, it immediately reported to Li Han.
After deciding to eat this outstanding Japanese army, Li Han led people to march to Niujiabao Town overnight. At four o'clock in the morning, Li Han arrived at the outskirts of Niujiabao Town. At this time, the Japanese troops in the town did not receive any news at all, nor did they have any defense.
"Li Yong, how is the situation in the town?" Li Han asked.
"Battalion commander, before dark, our brothers have touched into the town and have already found out. As soon as the devil entered the town, he burned and looted everywhere, and also harmed many women, so he would be sleeping soundly! Li Yong said with a sad expression.
"! I can't help it, if I don't kill all these Japanese beasts, it's really hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart. ”
After listening to Li Yong's report, Hu Zhi suddenly became furious and shouted through gritted teeth.
In fact, not only Hu Zhi was uncomfortable alone, but the officers present were deeply ashamed, but at this point, in response to the shame given by the devils, they could only use the devil's head to wash away their crimes.
After listening to Li Yong's words, Li Han's heart was also very sad, but there was no way to do it, the national strength was so weak. It's not something that can be changed overnight, and the only thing that can be done is to kill more little devils to avenge the villagers.
"The cavalry company went to the back door and blocked the retreat of the little devil, Xu Hu, your artillery immediately opened fire, give me a hard shot of these Japanese brutes, the heavy machine gun company suppressed the enemy's firepower, and the other three companies were all pressed and attacked immediately."
With Li Han's order, the eight eighty-zero mortars immediately let out an angry roar.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The dull sound of artillery rang out, and mortar shells whistled into the temporary camp of the devils in Niujiapu Town.
The vigilance of the Japanese army had long been reduced to the lowest level, and they made a small fortune in Niujiapu Town, from Captain Koizumi to ordinary soldiers, and their pockets were full.
At this moment, they are sleeping contentedly, unaware of the impending threat.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Dense explosions rang out in the Japanese camp, and fireballs rose into the air one by one, shrapnel in all directions, mercilessly harvesting the lives around them. Many of the devil soldiers were torn to pieces by the violent explosion while they were still asleep.
"Ahh Enemy attack! ”
Suddenly encountering an enemy attack, the devil soldiers were like headless flies, shouting and scurrying everywhere, and putting their guns indiscriminately. The officers couldn't find the soldiers, and the soldiers couldn't find the officers, and the whole scene was extremely chaotic.
"Kill, give!"
At that moment, Squadron Leader Koizumi's angry howl rang out, and the sound was like a pig crying before death.
However, with his shout, there were really a lot of devils who began to move closer to him, and the machine guns also fought with his command knife, after all, these devils were the field troops of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army's permanent division.
When it comes to the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, every Chinese will not forget. Because it is one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre. At this time, the Nanjing Massacre had not yet taken place, but the strength of the 6th Division was also very famous among the Japanese army.
The 6th Division of the Russo-Japanese War was one of the main forces attacking the Russian army, and it had very rich combat experience.
Of course, Li Han is also very well prepared for this operation, and neither the strength nor the weapons are comparable to Koizumi's squadron, let alone a sneak attack, even if Li Han encounters them head-on, he is sure to annihilate them completely.
This is not a small devil who has just gathered a little force and wants to counterattack, but he was blown up by the oncoming shells, and Xu Hu is also an old artilleryman, and he is also very experienced on the battlefield.
Listening to the sound of gunfire, you can know where there are many devils, and the result is that where the devils gather, mortar shells will fall, and the devils who blow up cry for their fathers and mothers, and there are many dead and wounded.
In the past, it was the Chinese who were suppressed by their artillery fire, moaning in pain, this time it was their turn, the devils could not bear it either, they were suppressed by the artillery fire and could not take a step, watching more and more Chinese troops kill under the cover of artillery fire.
Moreover, even the heavy machine gun company came to join in the fun, Wang Wei commanded the soldiers of the machine gun company and set up a heavy machine gun position directly outside the devil's camp.
"Fire!"
When the Japanese saw that the situation was not good and wanted to break out of a bloody road, they were immediately hit by intensive fire.
"Dada! Dada! ”
More than a dozen heavy machine guns and dozens of light machine guns opened fire together, and the bullets were as dense as rain and swept towards the Japanese troops, and the devil soldiers who had just rushed out of the camp were immediately swept away. The remnants of the devil soldiers were so frightened that they fled back.
"Blow the trumpet of the charge, and the whole army charges."
Li Han ordered, there were only dozens of devils left, and Li Han didn't want to play any more games of shooting, it was a complete waste of time.
"Your Excellency, the situation is not good, we only have less than a squad of soldiers left, and the Zhina army has come in." Captain Koizumi's adjutant reminded in a whisper.
"Baga Ya Road! Damn the Northeast Army, dare to sneak attack! ”
The hatred in Koizumi's heart, before this, he couldn't believe that the cowardly Zhi Na soldier dared to take the initiative to attack him.
In less than half an hour, more than a hundred imperial soldiers served the emperor, and with this level of casualties, it can be said that the second squadron has basically been abolished.
"Your Excellency, let's break out from behind the town! I just looked at the army that didn't have the China. ”
I have to say that Koizumi's adjutant is really dedicated, and he has not forgotten to protect Koizumi's safety at this time. Of course, it is not excluded that it is for the sake of his own life, after all, if Koizumi refuses to leave, he will definitely not be able to leave as an adjutant.
"Breakout? The second squadron is gone, what's the point of breaking through, instead of being forced to commit suicide by disembowelment, it is better to fight to the death with the Shina army, order everyone to fight to the death, and everyone return to the arms of Amaterasu together. ”
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard! Great Japanese Empire onboard! ”
Before the words fell, Koizumi shouted hysterically again, his eyes full of madness, like a beast that had been wounded, leading the remnants of the little devils to launch a suicidal attack.
Bang!
With a crisp gunshot, Captain Koizumi in the charge fell to the ground at once, Li Han solved the devil boss with one shot, and before he could fire the second shot, he saw countless blue shadows surrounding dozens of yellow shadows, and soon the yellow shadows disappeared into the blue ocean.
The first to kill the devils was Li Han's guard platoon, after Koizumi died in battle, the remaining devils had fallen into a state of madness, and when they saw someone rushing over, they screamed and rushed straight over, wanting to pad a few before they died.
It's a pity that they miscalculated, the guard platoon is all equipped with MP28 submachine guns, although the power is not as good as the later MP35, but there is no problem in dealing with these dozens of little devils.
The soldiers of the guard platoon quickly stood in two rows, and after several rounds of submachine gun fire, dozens of little devils fell to the ground one after another like wheat harvesters. More than forty little devils were not even close to the soldiers of the guard platoon, and they were all wiped out from a distance of more than ten meters.
The battle of Niujiabao ended in less than an hour, and although Koizumi's squadron was caught off guard by Li Han's night attack, and was inferior in terms of strength and weaponry, none of them surrendered, and all of them fought to the end.
The devil's desperate counterattack also brought some casualties to the fourth battalion. The total number of casualties and casualties in the troops was more than 70 people, and the casualties were close to one company, but compared to the results of this battle, Li Han felt that it was still worth it.
