Chapter Twenty-Six: Another Night Raid
Commander-in-Chief Tang's original intention was that since Gao Quan was willing to take his troops to attack the Japanese army, as the main army and the elite of the Central Army, it was also his proper intention to carry forward a little demeanor and give some support to these local troops. After all, if they are well-equipped, these people can inflict deeper damage on the Japanese army. Relative to his defenders, it will also relieve a lot of pressure.
On the other hand, Tang Enbo also wanted to give the Central Army a boost in face, so that in the future, Liu Ruming, a local army general, could not say that the Central Army would not give benefits to others. In Commander Tang's opinion, Gao Quan and his subordinates only have one or two hundred people at best, and if he takes it, can he take it less? This kind of economical thing, which can also give the Central Army and the commission a pomp and increase face, will be praised even if you come to the commission seat in the future.
Now that the commander-in-chief has spoken, of course the commander of the 533 regiment can't have any opinions. So Gao Quan and his officers and soldiers of the first battalion gave him whatever he wanted. Two box guns per person, 100 rounds of ammunition, dry food bags and water bottles were filled, and this is not counting, even mortars, Gao Quan asked for three, and Czech light machine guns asked for ten in one go. I wanted more, but I couldn't take it, so I gave up. The rest is a big knife, and the one on his own body is already there, and the Central Army is not worthy of this thing, if you want to replenish it, you will only have it in Zhangjiakou.
The whole army is armed to the teeth, and even dry food has been brought. A battalion of soldiers, who had rested for half a day after eating and drinking, quietly descended from the nearby city wall by rope as it approached midnight.
The battle at the gate was still going on, and the devils attacked round after round, day and night. These devils are hard enough, in order to hit the Great Wall pass, even the third shift has fallen. It is estimated that the devils are about to scold Qin Shi Huang alive, you said that you have nothing to do to build the Great Wall so well, the imperial army has died so many people and has not yet been captured.
The devils attacked the city in three shifts backwards, and in the camp behind, there were those devils who were lucky enough not to die in the daytime attack were sleeping, planning to continue to take over after dawn tomorrow. What Gao Quan wants to attack is these sleeping devils.
Like the night attack in Luowenyu, if the troops want to approach the devil's camp unconsciously, they must not approach from the front, and attack the devil's camp from behind, so they can only take a long detour. Before leaving, Gao Quan and his company commander and staff officers went to the headquarters of General Commander Tang to take a good look at the topographic map of Badaling, and had a good idea of the terrain in this area and the route of this evening's march.
Commander-in-Chief Tang not only did not refuse these requests, but opened the door to convenience and asked one of his operational staff officers to give a detailed explanation to the junior officers of these local armies. After all, these people have to do dangerous work tonight, and after tonight, it is unknown whether they will be alive or not. Any commander appreciates subordinates who can fight, and Commander Tang is of course no exception.
This time, the troops did not climb over seven hills, but only climbed three dangerous peaks, and then touched the back of the devil's camp.
This camp was a brigade camp of the 23rd Wing of the Ushijima Detachment. During the day, this brigade attacked the Badaling Pass five times in a row, and the casualties were relatively serious. The troops were very tired and were ready to rest for the night, and tomorrow morning they would replenish some men and join the rest of the troops in the battle.
When the first battalion touched the camp, it was close to the early hours of the morning, and it was the darkest time before dawn. The devil's camp was brightly lit, the camp was quiet, there were two devils standing guard at the camp gate, and six or seven devils lined up to patrol around the camp. This is behind the battle line, and the troops on the devil's front are fighting, and it is estimated that they don't have extra energy to keep the defense here.
Qian Sixi waved his hand, and Liu Qi touched it with more than a dozen people. As soon as the devil's patrol walked past the camp gate, the scouts came behind the group of devils.
The devil's eyes are accustomed to the light, and he didn't immediately notice this group of people in the dark, and when he heard a sound behind him, he looked back, and the bright big knife was already on his neck! The scouts had a clear division of labor, a few people to deal with the devil's patrol, and another four people to deal with the two battalion guards.
It was still the battalion gate guards who reacted quickly, after all, the patrol was facing away from the sneak attackers, and they were attacked from the side by the sneak attackers, and their eyes saw it early. In this way, the two devil guards still didn't have time to shoot. If the 38 big cover wants to shoot, he has to pull the bolt of the gun, and then he can raise the gun to shoot, but the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon are two throwing knives as soon as they come up and shake their hands! Follow the shiny big blade and you're here!
The two guards of the devil only had time to pull the bolt of the gun, and before they could pull the trigger, the heads of the two guys were separated from their bodies. It is a little more troublesome to solve the devils of the patrol, there are many devils in the patrol, although the number of our soldiers who participated in the attack is more, but they have not been able to knock everyone over at once, and one of the devils still has time to shoot a shot!
"Smack!" A crisp gunshot echoed in the night sky, and Gao Quan's plan to unknowingly solve all the devils in this camp was in vain.
"Kill!" Gao Quan shouted with a big sword, and more than a hundred soldiers rushed forward with a shout! Now that the action has leaked, let's do it with real guns! Anyway, it's all about killing devils, where to kill it differently?
The devil soldier who fired a shot in the patrol team was chopped to pieces by the annoyed and angry Liu Qi and his people! It's all this guy, so that Squad Leader Liu's perfect performance in front of the camp seat is flawed, it's really hateful! After annihilating the seven devils of the patrol, the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon rushed into the camp of the devils first, entered the camp tent when they saw it, and cut down people when they saw it, and soon these people became a group of bloody people.
"Don't use a big knife, give me a gun! Machine guns on! Gao Quan saw that the soldiers seemed to be particularly keen on broadswords, and immediately reminded that there were still guns to use. It's a pleasure to cut with a big knife, and it's really easy to use when the two sides are fighting hand-to-hand with bayonets, but we're sneaking up now, most of the devils are still asleep, how fast are you using guns!
Gao Quan personally held a Czech-style and said "Click!" to the door of this tent. It's a shuttle, first break the tent door curtain, and then kick forward, "Ah! In one fell swoop, he kicked down the smashed door curtain and burst into it with a machine gun. As he fired, he stepped inside.
When Gao Quan finished firing a shuttle of bullets and threw away the machine gun, the box gun in his hand had already been taken into his hand. There are more than a dozen devils in the tent, all of them have been killed, and two of them are dead at the door of the tent. Others were basically shot in their beds. This makes Gao Quan a little strange, it is said that it has been half a minute since the patrol shot, why haven't all these guys gotten up yet? Isn't the reaction of the Japanese army said to be very fast, why is it so grinding tonight? Is it to cooperate with my actions? Shaking his head, driving this ridiculous idea out of his mind, Gao Quan picked up a steel helmet from the hook at the head of the bed and put it on his head, along the way, his steel helmet didn't know where to throw it, this job is so dangerous, but you have to do a good job of labor protection.
