Chapter 13: The Puppet Legion
Based on the fact that Yingshan City is in the south of Xinyang, and Xinyang has a brigade of devils, psychologically speaking, the devils naturally think that the north is safer than the south. Therefore, the defense of the devil corresponding to the mountain castle has always been focused on the south gate. It is also based on this situation that Gao Quan chose the breakthrough point at the north gate. And the defense of the north gate happens to be all puppet troops.
But the situation at the South Gate is completely different. To the south of Yingshan is Wuhan. Although Wuhan has now fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, too many of the ** troops that were defeated during the Battle of Wuhan were concentrated around Wuhan, and these troops not only had local warlords, but also a large number of elite troops of the Central Army. After suffering defeat, these troops lurked in the vast area around the three towns of Wuhan, like a pack of hungry wolves, ready to look for an opportunity to bite the Japanese army fiercely. In the face of these hundreds of thousands of elite squadrons scattered all over the country, it is impossible to say that the devils are not afraid at all.
Wanjialing, that is a place that makes the Japanese invaders tremble, on that small dirt slope jungle, the 106th Division of the Japanese Army was almost wiped out by the squadron! That's a whole division! In the face of the squadron that doesn't know when it will become tough, how can the Japanese invaders not be afraid?
Arrange a team here at the south gate, although the number of people is a little less, there is really a squadron of ** army attacking the city, which the Japanese army can't play much role at all, but this also represents an attitude of the Japanese army, doesn't it? At the very least, it shows that people attach great importance to it! Okazaki Nakasa wants to send more people, but he only has a reinforcement brigade in his hands, a city gate defense, how many people can you let him send?
When the puppet legion commander heard the shouts of killing at the north gate, he led his hundreds of people to attack the devil's squad. But his side is not the key place for the 500 division to attack, and the reconnaissance battalion has not sent people to this side, plus the regiment commander's organizational ability is also a little worse than Liu Slanyan, although his five or six hundred people have also been ambushed near the city gate, but when they really want to rush up to fight, this group of puppet troops who are usually loose and used to it have not even rushed up at the same time!
The regiment commander heard Zhang Erxiao's troops outside the city shouting and killing, and he was anxious, as many troops as he came up, he would send as many troops as he wanted. It's going to be a hell of a thing! The puppet army has been living in the shadow of the devil for a long time, and subconsciously has a fear of the devil soldiers, and now the number of people is not even, dozens of them attack the devil squad, this battle is wonderful! The devils knew that they were small in number and did not dare to leave the city gate without permission, and the puppet soldiers were afraid, so the two sides began to shoot at each other a hundred meters away, and for a while, rifles and pistol bullets flew wildly, grenadiers and grenades exploded into a piece, ping pong, and the fight was not lively!
Outside the city, Zhang Erxiao heard that the city was fighting, where could he still sit still? The independent brigade, under the orders of their brigade commander, formed up and began the siege battle!
The city is also fighting, and the south gate is also fighting, what about Gao Quan? Our High Master Throne has just entered the city at this time. It's not that he doesn't want to enter the city in advance, it's just that he understands in his heart that now is the time for the two armies to set up their positions and officially fight, and he, the supreme commander, must sit in the central command, and now he can't tolerate it, and he will go deep behind the enemy like a scout to annihilate the enemy.
As for the 500 Brigade, the other main force of the 500 Division, which has another important task, it will not participate in this battle to capture the city, and we will introduce it later.
The north gate was quickly occupied, and after Gao Quan entered the north gate, he led the special service battalion, guard company, and cavalry battalion to pursue the 201 Brigade behind. There was only one destination for his trip, and that was the headquarters of Jiro Okazaki in the Japanese army. He is no longer interested in annihilating the devil's brigade, Wang Dazhu's 201 brigade has nearly 5,000 people, and if he can't even handle more than 1,000 devils, he is not worthy of being the commander of this heroic unit.
What is the spirit of the 201 Brigade? That is to be good at hitting tough battles, gnawing hard bones, and fighting tough battles. With the fame of the 201 Brigade, coupled with Wang Dazhu's tough character, the first victory of this arrow unit will start from Yingshan City!
The Japanese soldiers were really well-trained, although the city gate was broken in the middle of the night, when the 201 Brigade arrived at the devil camp in less than ten minutes under the leadership of Liu Slan's puppet army, the devils in the camp still made preparations for battle.
The puppet soldiers running in front were still two hundred meters away from the Japanese barracks, and the devils in the barracks had already run out. Of course, the devils are definitely not running around, they came out of the barracks to participate in the battle!
The first enemy that the devils rushed out to meet was the puppet army, these devils were vicious, they didn't even say hello, and they killed when they met! Grenadier canisters, light and heavy machine guns, three or eight large covers, shooting together, this pseudo-army of several hundred people could not withstand it at once. Although the devils who rushed out were only more than two or three hundred people in the squadron, these five or six hundred puppet troops were still disrupted by the devils' guns and bullets!
The puppet soldiers turned around and ran in a hurry, and behind them was the vanguard battalion of the 201 Brigade!
The army on the battlefield is most afraid of the rout, and when it is rushed by the rout, the troops that were originally quite good may also become routs. After so many years of fighting, what has Wang Dazhu never seen? From the moment the first puppet army retreated, he thought of this possibility.
"Spy Company, give it to me!" This command does not need to be explained at all. What does the Spy Company do? That is to enforce military discipline, at this time, send the spy company to the front, no need to explain, the spy company commander knows what the brigade seat sent him to the front to do!
Seeing that more than 100 people ran to the front with box guns and light machine guns, Wang Dazhu looked at Liu with slanted eyes and sneered, "Commander Liu, you'd better go to the front and restrain your brothers, my soldiers don't have any affection, don't let the friendly army turn their faces and let the devil pick up the cheap!" ”
Although most of the puppet soldiers ran to the front, for some reason, Liu Slanting was left by Wang Dazhu's side. Liu squinted his eyes and couldn't figure out the reason at first, but now he understands that he was kept as a hostage! If his troops rejoin the devil after coming into contact with the devil, then he is the first ghost to sacrifice the flag! Now that the puppet army has been defeated and retreated, this brigade seat master only remembered to put him in front, because he didn't want his rout to disrupt the battle formation!
Liu squinted, blushed, and saluted thickly, and ran ahead with a few of his horses.
It should be said that Liu Squinted and ran up quite timely, because he ran up with the spy company. As soon as the spy company reached the front, he immediately put on a posture, and someone with a big horn began to shout.
"Listen to the rebel soldiers in front, now I order you to attack immediately, and anyone who retreats from the battle will be killed!"
