Chapter 714: Surprise Attack on Yangqu City!
As a dangerous pass in Yangqu, Chitang Pass is undoubtedly a traffic artery in and out of Taiyuan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince the Japanese army has been guarding this place, the once prosperous transportation arteries seem to have withered.
At present, Shanxi is full of wars, and there are not many caravans that dare to leave here. Even some people who usually come and go don't dare to go here. After all, everyone knows that after going out from here, it will be the defense area of the Eighth Route Army.
Although it has become less lively, the Japanese army also knew that the terrain was dangerous, and held the important road access to Taiyuan. If the Eighth Route Army wants to attack Taiyuan, this is undoubtedly the only way for them.
It's just that no one would have thought that the Eighth Route Army, which had occupied this place at the beginning, would now quietly take Chitang Pass by attacking the camp in disguise. The Japanese soldiers guarding the garrison, except for those who were taken prisoner, all became dead bodies.
After receiving a telegram from the special battalion, He Zhengdao immediately commanded the 2nd Division to carry out operations. Strive to be able to quickly transfer the 2nd Division and the artillery brigade to the territory of Yangqu at night. As long as the large army crosses, the Japanese army will also be powerless to resist.
As for the other two dangerous passes in Yangqu, in He Zhengdao's opinion, there is no need to worry. After taking Chitang Pass, whether the remaining two passes are attacked or not is actually not a big problem. Take Yangqu City, and these two passes will also be self-defeating.
Without the supply of materials from the Japanese troops in the city, He Zhengdao believed that the final fate of these Japanese troops would be either to break through the mountain or to disarm and surrender. But with their little strength, it is undoubtedly wishful thinking to break through.
With the 2nd Infantry Division and the Artillery Brigade, it smoothly entered the territory of Yangqu from Chitang Pass. The special battalion had found a good resting place for the troops earlier, but it was quickly filled by these garrisons. But all this, the Japanese army in Yangqu City did not know.
When dawn came, the special battalion that took Chitang Pass was also disguised as a patrol team that went down the mountain to return to the city. And after going down the mountain, naturally he will not forget to inform the commander in the city. And all this, the commander of the city did not doubt.
It was only at noon that the remaining two passes, which the Japanese army attached great importance to, found that a large number of Eighth Route Army was gathering. Such a situation naturally attracted the attention of the defenders of the pass, and it was also natural for the defenders of the pass to seek support.
But in the end, the reinforcements came, but the reinforcements they waited for, just like Chitang Pass, they were all reinforcements pretended to be by the special battalion. Under the combination of the inside and the outside, the two passes were soon captured by the Eighth Route Army.
But for the Japanese troops in Yangqu, they did not know that the two passes had been lost. The commander of the city kept asking about the situation of the battle by telephone, and the answers he received were all the answers that the commander of the position was 'holding on'.
In the face of the defenders of the position, they were able to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese co-captains in Yangqu were undoubtedly relieved. But even so, he was a little worried that he would not be able to hold the position for long, so he began to draw troops from the city for reinforcements.
Looking at these troops who were driving out of the city one after another, the special battalion that was already lurking outside Yangqu City, said with a smile: "The little devil in the city is out of the hole!" These little devils, leave it to our main force to be responsible! ”
'Battalion commander, when are we going to act?' ’
'What's the hurry?' Let them go a little farther away, and we'll be back into town then." This infantry brigade has all driven out of the city, and the little devils in the city are afraid that there are less than a thousand. As for those puppet soldiers, do they really dare to fight for the little devils? ’
As the battalion commander of the special battalion, Lin Tie also knew that He Zhengdao attached great importance to him. Even if he is still a battalion commander, many people know that the troops in his hands are no less than a main regiment.
At the end of the battle of Shanxi, the special battalion will also be expanded. At that time, he, the main battalion commander, was finally promoted to regimental commander. But in Lin Tie's opinion, they must also fight this battle well!
The reinforcements in Yangqu City marched towards the other two dangerous passes. The situation at Chitang Pass is naturally what the Yangqu garrison officer is worried about. It was only two phone calls, and they both learned that no abnormalities were found in Chitang Pass.
But the more this is the case, the garrison officer of Yangqu still advised: "Strengthen vigilance, I am worried that the Eighth Route Army's attack on our two passes will divert our attention and distract our troops. When the time comes, they will raid Chitang Pass again.
Order all defenders to enter their positions, and you must also report to the command as soon as you find out that the Eighth Route Army is attacking. If your position is lost, the Eighth Route Army will be able to invade Yangqu in a big way, and then we will be very passive. ”
'Yes, we will not allow the Eighth Route Army to cross our defensive positions!' ’
Just as the garrison officer was paying attention to the situation at the three dangerous passes, a convoy also arrived outside Yangqu City. Looking at these convoys returning to the city, the Japanese soldiers standing at the gate of the city could recognize that it was the patrol led by Captain Miyako yesterday.
Listening to the shouting of a Japanese soldier in the head car, the Japanese puppet army who had set up a checkpost outside the city also quickly moved away from the barricade. The whole convoy seemed to have passed the checkpoint outside the city without any problems.
Looking at the convoy that began to enter the city, the Japanese soldiers on duty at the head of the city didn't seem to care too much. In their opinion, this is the patrol returning to the city, so naturally there is no need to be too careful. But no one knew that something unexpected happened.
When the last car passed through the city gate, the car quickly braked and stopped on the road. Just when the Japanese soldiers at the head of the city felt that the convoy was not returning to the barracks, why did it suddenly stop on the street, a Japanese soldier with a gun quickly jumped out of the car.
In the face of these Japanese infantry who suddenly got off the car, not to mention that the Japanese puppet army in the city felt incomprehensible, even some people in the city also felt that these little devils, how could they suddenly stop at the intersection of entering and exiting the city gate?
Just when some Japanese soldiers felt that these Japanese soldiers were full of murderous spirit. The car moving in front also quickly stopped. It was also at this time that the Japanese soldiers who got out of the car first suddenly raised their guns and fired.
'Bang bang' gunshots rang out, and many of the defenders at the head of the city who were caught off guard were quickly killed by the Japanese soldiers who got out of the car. And after the last car was lifted, a machine gun made up of sandbags quickly showed a hideous face.
Along the open gates, the machine guns were quickly activated. The dense bullets quickly knocked the Japanese puppet army responsible for guarding the city gate to the ground. This scene made many people a little puzzled, what the hell the little devil was doing.
When will the little devils also stage a scene of ghosts fighting ghosts!
It was also at this time that the little devils who jumped off the car one after another suddenly had a humanitarian: "Fellow villagers, hurry up and hide, we are the Eighth Route Army, and we are here to fight the little devils." Get out of here and go home and hide! ”
As soon as such words came out, many people suddenly realized: "I said why do little devils beat their own people!" It turns out that these little devils are all impersonated by the Eighth Route Army! When the Eighth Route Army entered the city, did it come to recover the county seat? ”
With countless confusions and expectations, these people also went home to hide. At this time, the officers and men of the special battalion who carried out a rapid assault also quickly controlled the gate that entered the city.
The Japanese checkpoint that had let them pass earlier also realized that something was wrong in the city when they heard the fierce gunfire coming from behind them. It's just that when they ran back to the city to support, they were also frantically strafed by the special battalion troops entering the city.
At this time, the second division and the first regiment, which had been waiting in the back for a long time, immediately said: "Comrades, rush! Kill all the little devils and liberate Yangqu City! ”
After the commander shouted such a slogan, a regiment of officers and men who had been waiting for a long time also began to rush towards Yangqu City in the form of a wild run. As for the special battalion that seized the city gates, it also began to advance towards the center of the city.
The Japanese garrison officer, who set up his headquarters in the city, heard the fierce gunfire from the west gate, and said in surprise: "Why are there guns in the city?" What's wrong? What's going on in the west of the city? ”
Faced with the inquiries of the garrison officers, the staff officers of the command headquarters were also unsure of what was going on. Until a Japanese soldier ran back to the command and said: "Captain, the Eighth Route Army has attacked the West Gate, and the West Gate position has been lost." ”
As soon as these words came out, the officers of the command headquarters were suddenly shocked and said, "How is it possible? How could they have taken our gates so quickly? What do our troops eat? Also, how many troops did the Eighth Route Army come? ”
'Report to the co-captain, we don't know exactly what's going on at the West Gate. But there was a team in our uniform, rushing to the side of the headquarters. Moreover, on the West Gate, a large number of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army also appeared. ’
After the slightly anxious herald said this, the garrison officer also said in disbelief: "Na! The Eighth Route Army in our military uniform? Yaga, what the hell is going on? ”
It's a pity that before the herald could explain more, there were three loud noises from the headquarters in the city. The explosion of 'boom boom' rang out, letting all the Japanese troops in the command know that they were being shelled.
'Baga, it's a mortar! Duck and dodge! ’
Faced with the mortar shells that kept flying into the headquarters, many Japanese commanders were curious about how the Eighth Route Army could come so quickly. The front had just taken the west gate, and now an artillery bombardment was being launched near their headquarters.
At such a speed, could it be that these Eighth Route Army would not be able to fly?
In fact, this round of three-round shelling was also the handiwork of the special battalion. Even Taiyuan City, the reconnaissance brigade can mix in, let alone this Yangqu City? As for transporting weapons into the city, it is naturally very easy.
Even though the Japanese army has recently stepped up inspections in and out of the city, these mortars are weapons hidden in secret intelligence stations. After the special battalion entered the city, they quickly brought out the weapons.
Now that the battle of Ximen has begun, these special battalion soldiers who infiltrated Yangqu City in advance are naturally eyeing the Japanese headquarters in the city. Thinking about the shelling here, the other three little devils are afraid that they will also be in chaos.
In this way, it undoubtedly relieved the offensive pressure of the main force entering the city, and also made the Japanese army lose the command of their superiors and fall into the embarrassment of fighting on their own.
And as the shelling began, the assault detachment of the special battalion was also rapidly advancing towards the headquarters. If you can catch up with the first regiment and take down the Japanese army headquarters in Yangqu City, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement! (To be continued.) )
