Chapter 253: Reinforcement of Rongshan (2)

Jin Zhenbiao, who had just arrived outside Jinyang County from the Liujiahe stronghold, received a telegram from Liu Tianshu, asking him to launch an attack on Jinyang County at 9 p.m., and put on a posture of attacking Jinyang County, and then withdraw an hour later and advance through Shichanggou to Yuchang Town in the south of the Rongshan base area.

After reading the message, Jin Zhenbiao immediately called the three company commanders.

"Comrades, the regiment commander sent an urgent telegram, ordering our battalion to launch a feint attack on Jinyang County at nine o'clock tonight, and an hour later advance to Yuchang Town through Shichanggou. Next, I will arrange the task, a company commander, your company is attacking the east gate of Jinyang City at nine o'clock, use all the firepower, put on a posture of storming the east gate, withdraw from the battle at ten o'clock, and join the main force of the battalion at Shichanggou. Second Company Commander, your company launched an attack on the west gate of Jinyang City at 9:20 a.m., withdrew from the battle at 10 a.m., and joined the main force of the battalion at Shishigou. Commander of the third company, your company quickly rushed to Shichanggou, and before 11 o'clock, destroyed the enemy in Shichanggou, and responded to the first and second companies, the first platoon of the machine gun company cooperated with the first company, the second and third platoons of the machine gun company cooperated with the third company, and the artillery platoon cooperated with the second company. After finishing speaking, Jin Zhenbiao stared at the three company commanders.

After Yu Yongzhong, commander of the second company, was transferred to the instructor of the fourth battalion, Song Guoxian, the former deputy commander of the second company, took over the post of company commander.

Jin Zhenbiao's battalion was stationed in Songkan Town, and he tried his best to get four mortars from the devils and puppet soldiers, and set up an artillery platoon by himself, and as for the machine gun company, he also formed it after he got the weapons himself.

Considering that the first battalion was in charge of the direction of Songkan Town, Liu Tianshu did not ask him to hand over the captured heavy machine guns, which was equivalent to acquiescing to Jin Zhenbiao's battalion for an extra machine gun company and an artillery platoon.

This also resulted in the combat effectiveness of one battalion, which was more than a little stronger than several other battalions.

At about nine o'clock, the commander of a company, Guo Donglai, took out his pocket watch, saw that the pointer moved to the position, raised the shell gun, and fired directly at the devils guarding the city wall.

The devils guarding the city found that someone was attacking outside the city, and immediately shouted and opened fire outside the city.

Guo Donglai commanded three platoons of soldiers, slamming towards the head of the city and the city gate, and at the same time let out a shout of charging, and for a while, the company and the devil fought very fiercely at the east gate.

The commander of the devil guarding Jinyang City received an urgent call from the east gate, and hurriedly ordered the defenders to hold the city, and at the same time ordered a small group of Japanese troops and a company of imperial troops to quickly reinforce the east gate.

As for letting the following strongholds reinforce the county seat, because it was dark night, the devil commander was worried about being ambushed, so he didn't let them go, but just reported to the wing commander the attack on Jinyang County.

Just after the commander of the devil reported the situation to the wing commander on the phone, he heard the explosion of shells in the direction of the west gate, and he looked through the window, only to see that the light was constantly rising in the direction of the west gate, and the explosions came one after another.

He heard that it was the sound of mortars, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

You know, the Chinese army with mortars, at least the size of a regiment, out of somewhere a regiment of Chinese came to attack his Jinyang county town.

Dare the Chinese to attack the east gate, just to make a sound to the east and attack the west, but the real direction of attack is the west gate.

As a result, he had to urgently transfer the strength of a squadron to Simon.

Guo Donglai and Song Guoxian, with the cooperation of the machine gun company and the artillery platoon, kept firing at the city gate, and the firelight reflected the night sky, of course, there were many unlucky devils and puppet soldiers who were hit by the shells and fell to the ground screaming.

The two attacks launched by the two companies were finally forced back by the powerful fire of the devils on the city wall. However, the city gate of the West Gate was finally directly broken by Jin Zhenbiao's artillery platoon with mortars.

Seeing that the city gate was broken, the Japanese squadron leader defending the city was in a hurry and urgently ordered a squad of soldiers to defend the city gate.

At ten o'clock, the Chinese army outside the city suddenly stopped attacking, and the entire east and west gates were quiet all at once.

When the devil commander received the report, he stared at the map with trepidation, wondering whether the real direction of the Chinese army's attack would be the south gate or the north gate.

In a hurry, he had to send all the troops in his hands to the city.

As soon as his troops were dispatched, he received an urgent telegram from the Shichanggou stronghold, but after more than ten minutes, he lost contact with the devils in the Shichanggou stronghold.

As for the telephone to the Shichanggou stronghold, as early as after ten o'clock, it was directly blocked.

I don't know the actual situation of the Shichanggou stronghold, nor how many Chinese soldiers are lying outside the city, but the Japanese commander stationed in Jinyang City, in addition to reporting to the above, can only order the various strongholds outside the city to strengthen their vigilance to strictly prevent the Chinese army from attacking.

As for sending troops to Shichanggou, he didn't even think about it.

Jin Zhenbiao's third company, with the cooperation of the machine gun company, quietly approached the Shichanggou stronghold, and at the same time directly cut the telephone line from the Shichanggou stronghold to the county seat and other strongholds. Seeing the tense Shichanggou stronghold, Jin Zhenbiao couldn't help pouting, and directly handed over the task of attacking the Shichanggou stronghold to Sun Xiaoxian, and he ran aside to rest.

The Shichanggou stronghold is a large stronghold, with only more than 30 devils and more than 40 imperial allies in it, and the entire stronghold is composed of a tall turret and a small courtyard. The more than 30 devils were stationed in the turret, and more than 40 imperial troops were arranged to guard in the small courtyard on the side of the turret.

Although the devil set up a barbed wire fence on the fence of the small courtyard, because of the existence of the turret, the barbed wire fence was not electrified, of course, this is also related to the fact that the devil only has one gasoline generator in the stronghold.

The searchlight on the turret swept to the surrounding open ground from time to time, and the devils on the turret stared vigilantly outside, looking for all suspicious targets.

As for those imperial alliance troops, because they learned that the county town was under attack, they were also called by the devil commander at this time, and they guarded the high places on both sides of the small courtyard to prevent someone from sneaking up on the night.

It's a pity that the devil in the Shichanggou stronghold looks very tightly guarded, and in Jin Zhenbiao's opinion, he is just a paper tiger. He had a crack reconnaissance squad under him, which was built entirely on the model of the reconnaissance brigade in the regiment.

Jin Zhenbiao relied on his close relationship with Shi Qiang and Chen Jian, and specially invited the two of them over for guidance.

At this time, his reconnaissance squad put their bodies on the grass behind the small courtyard, and when the devil's searchlight moved, they immediately began to leap forward.

Anyway, the Imperial Association Army guarding the high place of the small courtyard, because there was no electric light, only lit a few torches on it, and the near place was illuminated transparently.

As a result, within thirty meters, you can see clearly, and thirty meters away, you can feel black and black.

When the reconnaissance squad was determining the route of the assault, it carefully studied the terrain on the north side of the small courtyard and saw clearly the three small dirt bags in the open field.

These three small dirt bags are about forty centimeters high, and some wild grass grows on them. One of the small dirt bags is only ten meters away from the courtyard.

As soon as the devil's searchlight moved, a soldier immediately jumped out, and after a few steps to the first small dirt bag, he immediately clinged to his body, and when the searchlight shone again and passed again, this soldier quickly ran to the second small dirt bag, and a soldier behind rushed to the first small dirt bag.

When the devil's searchlight moved by for the third time, the soldiers running in front of him had already rushed to the back of the third small dirt bag while the eyes of the Imperial Cooperative Army guarding the wall of the small courtyard had not yet adapted to the bright light of the searchlight.

The fighters behind leapt forward in turn.

The soldier hiding behind the third small earthen bag, at this time, carefully poked his head out, stared at the Imperial Association Army on the wall of the small courtyard, and when the eyes of the Imperial Association Army shifted, he immediately turned over from behind the small earthen bag, and rolled a few times on the ground, the distance of ten meters was completed in a second or two, and when the eyes of the Imperial Association Army turned around, he had quietly arrived under the wall of the small courtyard.

Sun Xiao first saw the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad approaching under the wall of the small courtyard, and only then did he let go of his hanging heart.

The warrior who rushed to the bottom of the small courtyard immediately took out his tools, quietly tinkered with the wall, and after a while, pulled out a hole that he could climb into.

After waiting for the comrades in the back to come up, one soldier was on guard with a gun, and two fighters immediately got in.

Seeing that the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad had entered the small courtyard, Sun Xiaoxian shouted and opened fire, and a platoon immediately continued to fire at the devils on the turret, and the searchlight on the top of the turret was immediately extinguished by the heavy machine gun, and at the same time, the devils guarding the roof of the building were also sent back to their hometown directly by the heavy machine gun that suddenly opened fire.

The heavy machine gun is a heavy machine gun, and the four 92 heavy machine guns fired violently at the Imperial Allied Army at the height of the turret and the small courtyard, and those Imperial Allied troops simply became live targets because they stood under the firelight, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight Imperial Allied troops fell screaming, and the fallen Imperial Allied Army dared to show their heads, so they could only hide behind the wall and fire indiscriminately outside.

At this time, the three reconnaissance squad soldiers who rushed into the small courtyard quietly rushed over from behind, and the fire on the wall of the small courtyard was two grenades, directly extinguishing the two fires, and then firing fiercely at the Imperial Alliance Army guarding the wall of the small courtyard.

Those Imperial Allied troops only cared about shooting outside, who would have thought that someone touched the side, and was immediately beaten and scattered and fled, three companies and three platoons immediately rushed through the open field, and those Imperial Allied troops saw that they could not escape, so they had to obediently raise their hands and surrender.

As for the devils on the turret, they were suppressed by two heavy machine guns, and a soldier of a reconnaissance squad took the opportunity to rush to a distance of fifty meters, raised a crossbow, and fired two homemade ****** at the turret, and the turret was immediately ignited, and the devils guarding it immediately panicked.

Taking advantage of the weakening of the firepower of the turret devils, a soldier held the explosive bag, quickly rushed to the bottom of the turret, put the explosive bag away, pulled the lead, and then rolled backwards.

The devil on the turret noticed that someone was approaching the turret, and immediately shot at him, and the soldier had just run less than ten meters when he was hit by several bullets and fell to the ground at once.

At this moment, the explosive bag suddenly exploded, and the turret was suddenly blown down, and the devils inside were buried in the rubble. (To be continued.) )
