Chapter 308: The End of the Vine Wildflower (Part II)

The mortar company's artillery bombardment of Fujinohana's headquarters can be said to be the last straw that overwhelmed the resistance of the Japanese troops in the headquarters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A series of shells fell into the compound, directly destroying one house after another, and many soldiers were crushed by the collapsed houses, and those with broken arms and legs could not stop screaming.

As for those who were hit by the vital point, they were directly cut off.

The frightened devil saw the eight roads rushing in, and mustered up the courage to pick up the weapon and shoot, but the eight roads in front were very agile, and the soldiers running in front saw that someone was resisting, and the guns were shot, and the bombs were thrown, and the devil's resistance was crushed in a blink of an eye.

Most of the remaining devils in the courtyard are non-combatants such as health soldiers and orderlies, and their combat quality is much worse than that of the Japanese troops in the infantry squadron.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade, most of whom knew some Japanese, saw that the devils were already panicking, and while beating and rushing, they shouted in Japanese: "Surrender the gun, don't kill, give preferential treatment to the prisoners." ”

A few skinny Japanese soldiers saw the murderous rush of the Eight Roads, and their feet were so frightened that they threw their guns aside and knelt on the ground, shouting in Japanese Don't kill me, I surrender.

For the first time, the soldiers who rushed over saw the devil surrender voluntarily, and looked at each other, one soldier was on guard with a gun, and two soldiers stepped forward and took away the devil's weapon.

At this time, the fighters in the back rushed up, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade handed over these prisoners who had voluntarily surrendered to them, and then began to clear the remnants of the enemy house by house.

With the addition of Sheng Dongsheng's second company, the battle progressed quickly, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade who rushed in front encountered the resistance of the devils, and a grenade flew directly over, blowing up the devils screaming again and again.

Fujino Hana heard the shouting and killing sound outside gradually approaching, his face flashed with fierceness, he solemnly kowtowed two heads to the east, slowly raised the short knife called Wakisa, slowly stabbed it into the abdomen, and then twisted it hard, and a mouthful of dirty blood overflowed from his mouth.

It hurts!

One last thought flashed through Fujinohana's mind, and then she tilted and fell to the side.

Shi Qiang rushed into Fuji Yehua's command room with a gun, and saw a devil officer with a white cloth strip on his head with a short knife stuck in his abdomen, his body twisted and fell to the ground, he glanced at it contemptuously, picked up the command knife he put aside, and let out a long breath.

From the devil's uniform that fell to the ground, he could already tell that the dead devil was a young man.

Shaozo in the Fujino Flower Brigade, who else will there be besides Fujino Flower?

The devils who returned to the headquarters were blocked by the Eighth Route before they could run, and found that there were no gunshots coming from the brigade headquarters, and the leader of the devil squadron who led the team looked dark, knowing that the brigade headquarters was finished, so he had to leave more than a dozen corpses, and wisely took the remnants of dozens of devils and ran into the fortifications south of the town.

Liu Tianshu knew that the devils in the town had been eliminated, stood there and let out a sigh of relief, ordered the troops who entered the town to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then quickly withdrew from the town with the loot and more than a dozen prisoners who surrendered voluntarily.

In another hour, it will be dawn, and he has basically achieved the intended goal by attacking Chengou Town. As for the two Japanese squadrons guarded by the devils in the south and north, because they were shrunk in strong fortifications, Liu Tianshu could only let them go temporarily.

After the troops withdrew from the town, Liu Tianshu asked Yangjuan to report the battle situation to the brigade commander, and at the same time ordered the first regiment, the first battalion and the second battalion to withdraw from the battle, and after joining the troops, they immediately withdrew to the northwest direction of Chengou Town.

Hong Feihu learned that the outer line corps led by Liu Tianshu had successfully entered Chengouji, not only blowing up the arms and materials set up by the devils in Chengouji, but also killing the captain of the Sakai Brigade, Fuji Yehana, and eliminating more than 700 devils.

After discussing with Jiang Jinyong, he immediately informed the various units of the base area of the news of the victory. When the soldiers and civilians in the base area heard the good news, their faces were filled with the excitement of victory.

The destruction of the devil's arms and materials has dealt a great blow to the devil's arrogance, and without this batch of materials, the Sakai brigade's sweeping efforts will naturally be greatly affected.

The victory of the outer line corps allowed the new 1st Brigade and the soldiers and civilians in the base area to see the dawn of the sweep of the smashed devils.

Sakai learned that Chen Gouji was finally broken by the Eighth Route Army, and all the war materials stored there were destroyed, and even the captain of his own team, Fujino Hana Shaosa, was loyal to the emperor, and immediately sat on the chair.

When he received an urgent telegram from Fujinohana, he also wanted to draw troops back to help, but it was dark at that time, and night has always been the world of the Eighth Route Army, and he had some suspicions that the Eighth Route Army was playing the trick of encircling the point to send reinforcements.

Besides, Chen Gouji has an unusually strong fortification, and the Eighth Route Army has always lacked the ability to attack fortified positions, so in his opinion, Fujinohua has a complete brigade in his hands, with more than 1,000 people, and he is stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, and there is absolutely no problem in holding on until dawn.

Once there, the Imperial planes could go to help, and they could also concentrate their forces to encircle the eight roads that dared to besiege Chen Gouji.

Who would have thought that when there was still an hour and a half before dawn, he actually received a farewell message from Fujino Hana, and then he knew that the Eighth Road had broken into the town.

In the message, Fujino said that Chen had been attacked by a large number of eight-way attacks, that his arsenal had been blown up, that his headquarters had been besieged, and that he had resolved to be loyal to the emperor.

Sure enough, half an hour before dawn, I received a telegram from a squadron leader below the Fuji Yehua Brigade, saying that the Eighth Route attacking Chen Gouji had left, and the captain had committed suicide, and there were only more than 350 people left in the entire Fuji Wilda Brigade, including more than 100 lightly and seriously wounded.

As for the war materials stored in Chengouji, in addition to those that were blown up, they were all taken away by the Eighth Road.

Sakai sat in his chair for a long time, and then he regained his breath, called his adjutant, dictated a telegram to Commander Otaka Kamezo, and weakly ordered the troops to suspend the attack and stand by in place.

The combat troops had only brought combat supplies for a week, and now the logistics supply base has been destroyed, and Pingyuan Town and the newly occupied area have not been able to find a single grain or a single person because of the clear walls of the Eighth Road.

Otaka Kamezo received a telegram from Sakai and knew that although the Sakai Brigade had occupied the town of Pingyuan on the Eighth Road, it had only eliminated about 200 Eight Routes except for an empty town, but now the Fujino Hana Brigade left behind in Sakai to guard Chengou was attacked by the Eighth Road, and there were only about 300 people left.

What surprised Odaka Kamizo even more was that all the combat materials needed by the Sakai Brigade were destroyed.

Thinking of this, he sat there and thought for a long time, and was just about to give an order to Sakai, when a staff officer came in and reported that the main force of the Eighth Route in the north of Jinan suddenly moved southward, several strongholds were destroyed, and at the same time, Luxi's Eighth Route also began to become active.

Ogaka Kamizo immediately walked over to the map, looked at the locations carefully, and fell into deep thought.

After dawn, Odaka Kamizo had to give Sakai an order to withdraw his brigade from Mount Fuya.

Unable to draw troops to support Sakai, and the Eighth Route Army in Shandong began to move around again, Gao Kamizang had to decide to be on the safe side, first guarding the important support points along the railway, as for the Eighth Route hiding in the mountains, they could only prevent them from rushing out to make trouble.

It is more important to maintain the safety of Shandong's important towns and important communication routes than to eliminate the eight roads in the mountains.

Sakai received an order from Commander Ogaka to shrink his forces and slowly retreat south at noon.

Hong Feihu found that the devil began to retreat, and immediately commanded the troops to chase and kill in the back, and fierce battles broke out between the two sides from time to time. However, as long as the Eighth Route Army found out that the devils had the idea of defending on the spot, they immediately stopped attacking.

After all, attacking the devil fortifications in broad daylight is not the best strategy for the eight roads, which are not very strong.

Besides, the devil's plane can come to help in the war at any time, and for the Eighth Road, which does not have any air defense capability, it is a painful thing to brave the bombing and strafing operations of the devil's plane.

Liu Tianshu received a telegram from Hong Feihu, saying that the devils seemed to be retreating, and the Sakai Brigade had withdrawn from Pingyuan Town. He stared at the map for a long time, and an idea came to him.

"What? Liu Tianshu wants to fight Yongle Town? Jiang Jinyong couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard Hong Feihu's words.

"Yes, this is the battle plan he sent, you can take a look first." After Hong Feihu handed the telegram to Jiang Jinyong, he took out a cigarette and lit it.

Jiang Jinyong quickly finished reading the message, then lit a cigarette for himself as well, took a deep breath and stood there digesting Liu Tianshu's bold idea.

According to Liu Tianshu's thoughts, the main force of the devils in Jiping County is now concentrated in the west of Pingyuan Town, even if it receives an order to retreat, the most likely thing is that the main force will retreat south with the Sakai Brigade, and will not withdraw to Yongle Town.

Because after the devils of Yongle Town were strengthened, only a few troops were sent to be incorporated into the sweeping force, and the current Yongle Town, that is, the two squadrons before the war, plus the Imperial Army, is about seven or eight hundred people.

The distance between the Sakai Brigade and the Jiping Japanese Army and the Japanese Noeda Brigade of the Japanese Army in Fuchang County was too close to each other, and once attacked, they could support each other, and the current strength of the Eighth Route Army alone could not achieve the goal.

However, if his outer line corps quietly moved to the vicinity of Yongle Town, and as soon as the Sakai Brigade and the Jiping Japanese army withdrew to the south, he immediately launched an attack on Yongle Town, and took Yongle Town in the shortest possible time, it is estimated that the Japanese army would have to accept the bitter fruit of Yongle Town falling into the hands of the Eighth Road.

"Brigade commander, do you say that Liu Tianshu is really sure to take Yongle Town?" Jiang Jinyong is still a little uneasy, you must know that the last time he attacked Yongle Town, the brigade used a regiment, but in the end it was still in vain, and it also triggered a large-scale sweep of the base area by the devils.

"Political commissar, I have carefully studied all the battles commanded by Liu Tianshu, and found that this kid never fights unprepared, since he wants to fight Yongle Town, he should have thought of a way. You think, Chen Gouji, who was heavily defended by the devil, was also easily broken through by him, and forced Fuji Yehua to commit suicide, and it should not be a problem to lay down a Yongle Town. Hong Feihu said slowly.

For Liu Tianshu, the head of the regiment, he is more and more fond of it. (To be continued.) )
