Chapter 254: Reinforcement of Rongshan (3)
After the 3rd Company eliminated the enemy in the Shichanggou stronghold, the 1st and 2nd companies and the machine gun company had just cleaned up the battlefield. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Jin Zhenbiao was relieved to see that the whole battalion had converged, and there were only more than a dozen wounded.
You must know that this time, when he was ordered to lead his troops eastward, it was a battle far away from the base area, and if there were too many wounded, it would not only affect the speed of the troops' mobility, but also cause a great drop in combat effectiveness.
Jin Zhenbiao took out his pocket watch, saw that the time had reached twelve o'clock, discussed it with instructor Huang Xiaocheng, and immediately took the first company as the vanguard, and the second company was responsible for the break, and the whole battalion drove quickly to Yuchang Town.
When Jin Zhenbiao's first battalion launched an attack on Jinyang County, Liu Tianshu and the second battalion had already arrived at Baima Town outside the Rongshan base area.
White Horse Town is a large town in the hilly area outside Rongshan, and it is also the bridgehead for the devils to sweep the Rongshan base area. The devil has been working hard here for half a year, and he has already built this place into a sturdy turtle shell.
No, the devils who swept away the Rongshan base area will store most of the supplies in White Horse Town.
Of course, in order to ensure the safety of Whitehorse Town, the devils stationed two squadrons and a battalion of the Imperial Allied Army here.
One squadron is responsible for the defense of Whitehorse, while the other is responsible for the security of the supply depot.
As for the Imperial Allied Army, it was naturally placed on the periphery and undertook the most onerous and dangerous tasks.
For example, in this Imperial Cooperative Barracks, two companies were stationed in the south and west of White Horse Town, and the other company remained in the town as a reserve with the battalion headquarters. And the devil squadron responsible for guarding White Horse Town, one team is guarding the hill to the north, and the other two teams are guarding the town.
The devil's supply base, probably considering the cheapness of supplies, was not located in the town, but in an old mansion in the east of the town, and the devils of the squadron were guarding around the house.
The scout team completed the reconnaissance of Whitehorse Town during the day. When Liu Tianshu heard that the devil had stored a large amount of supplies in Baima Town, he immediately became interested, and changed his original plan to lead his troops straight to Rongshan to reinforce the Rongshan Independent Regiment, and asked Hao Mengxuan to send a company to form a vanguard with a squad of the reconnaissance brigade, and immediately enter Rongshan to support the Rongshan Independent Regiment, while the main force of the second battalion and the machine gun company artillery company were ready to attack Baima Town.
There are so many things in the town, if you don't take the opportunity to take it, it's not a tyrannical thing. Liu Tianshu would not be such a sinner.
Hearing that the regiment commander was preparing to attack White Horse Town, Hao Mengxuan's eyes lit up, "Regiment Commander, the matter of fighting White Horse Town will be handed over to our second battalion, you can rest assured, I promise to snatch all the devil's things for you." ”
"Meng Xuan, don't underestimate the enemy in White Horse Town, I calculated carefully, the devil plus the puppet army, there are more than 600 people, this is a hard bone." Liu Tianshu said solemnly.
Of course, he didn't want to eat all the enemies in Whitehorse Town, he just wanted to finish off the devil supply station in the east of the town.
Although the devils guarding the supply station have a squadron, most of them should be baggage soldiers who are not strong in combat effectiveness, and those who really have combat effectiveness are at most a small team.
He was still worried about the Japanese squadron guarding the town.
"Hard bones? Our second battalion is specialized in gnawing hard bones. Hao Mengxuan didn't care. However, subsequently, Liu Tianshu still called the cadres above the company commander of the second battalion and gave a briefing on the situation, and then began to assign tasks.
The main point of this battle is to fight quickly, take a clean and sharp way to capture the supply depot, and at the same time block the reinforcements of the devils.
According to Liu Tianshu's plan, the machine gun company was responsible for blocking the devils in the town and the reinforcements of the imperial army together with the fourth company of the second battalion, the artillery company was responsible for bombarding the devil's camp and fortifications in the town, and the fifth company, with the cooperation of the reconnaissance brigade, was responsible for attacking the devil's supply station.
After the order was given, the ministries acted quickly. After the commander of the fourth company, Kuang Guosheng, and the commander of the machine gun company, Xu Yongdong, immediately quietly advanced to the supply depot and the town to prepare for battle, and as soon as the battle in the east began, they launched an attack on the junction of the two with lightning speed, quickly separating the enemy in the town from the enemy in the supply depot.
At half past twelve, Shi Qiang took the three combat teams of the reconnaissance brigade, put on devil clothes, quietly blended into the devil's defense area, and arrived outside the supply station.
Seeing that although the supply station was brightly lit, the devils guarding the fortifications outside were all drowsy, and even the sentries standing outside the gate were also leaning against the door with their guns.
Shi Qiang glanced at the soldiers, and then formed a column formation and walked towards the gate of the old mansion.
The sleeping devil was awakened, and one of the devils rubbed his eyes and shouted loudly: "Stop, what are you doing?" ”
Who would have thought that as soon as the soldier's voice fell, he heard an angry voice sound: "Bage, you cowards, dare to sleep while standing guard, and you have lost the face of the imperial army." Go, call your commander. ”、
Shi Qiang scolded arrogantly in Japanese, and the devil who was guarding the door of the house was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.
When the pedestrian approached, the devil soldier recognized that it was a captain, and hurriedly raised his hand to salute, and then ran inside.
Shi Qiang and his party stood at the door of the old mansion, and the soldiers behind him stood upright, making the Japanese soldiers who were responsible for guarding the supply station feel very ashamed.
After a while, the leader of the Japanese squadron, who was in charge of guarding the supply depot, ran out while getting dressed.
"Tada-kun, your people are too lazy, the imperial warriors are fighting bloody battles against the earth in the mountains, but look at your people, what are they doing? Is it still a bit like the Imperial Japanese Army? The face of the imperial army has been lost by you, Mi Toma Shaozuo asked me to come to check the defense of the supply depot, according to reliable information, a large force of the Eighth Route Army appeared around Jinyang County. Shi Qiang looked at the squadron leader with his feet together, and then bent his body slightly and said in a deep voice.
When Captain Tada heard the cold imperial soldier in front of him, he directly called out his name, coupled with the other party's fluent Japanese, he didn't doubt it at the moment, and directly brought Shi Qiang and the others into the old mansion.
When he got inside, Shi Qiang asked Tada to take him around the courtyard under the pretext of checking the security work of the supply station, and Shi Qiang's people began to quietly separate and stay at the most critical place.
Just as Tada accompanied Shi Qiang to see the supply station, and when the two returned to his office, an explosion suddenly sounded outside, and Shi Qiang and Tada immediately stopped and prepared to enter the house.
"Tada-kun, what's going on?" Shi Qiang glared at Tada and asked unhappily.
Tada was caught by the captain who sent a surprise inspection because his subordinates were sleeping, and he was a little flustered, and he didn't care about doubting Shi Qiang's identity for a while.
Tada is also at a loss, since he was in charge of this supply depot, White Horse Town has not been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, especially the explosion of shells from the 92nd Infantry Cannon, he has never heard of it in White Horse Town.
Tada's face changed, and he looked at Shi Qiang and said, "Could it be that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is here?" ”
At this moment, sharp explosions rang out from time to time on the Japanese positions around the town, and gunfire rang out like beans.
Shi Qiang's face immediately changed, and he yelled at Tada: "Tada-kun, quickly assemble the team, you must hold the supply station, quickly." ”
Seeing Shi Qiang's anxious appearance, Tada didn't suspect him at all, and immediately turned around and called an officer, asking him to immediately gather troops and hold the commanding heights around the old mansion.
Seeing countless devils running out of the old mansion and running towards the hills around the house, Shi Qiang showed an approving look on his face, patted Tada's shoulder, and said in his mouth: "Yo Xi, Tada-kun, let's go, we will report to Mi Toma Shaozo immediately, and at the same time ask the troops stationed in Hakuba Town to quickly reinforce us." ”
The two walked side by side into the telecommunications room on the side of the old house, and Tada turned around and called a telegraph operator and told him to report to Yoshima immediately.
Shi Qiang walked into the house and saw that there were only four telegraph operators in charge of liaison in the room, and at this time, Tada's attention was on letting the telegraph operator send the report, stretched out his hand, took out the shell gun from the belt inside, and quickly opened fire on the four telegraphers.
A crisp gunshot rang out in the telecommunications room, and the four operators, without understanding what was going on, were beaten to death by Shi Qiang on the chair.
Tada heard the gunshots suddenly rang out, and subconsciously turned around, but saw that the Japanese captain who was still talking and laughing with him just now was holding a shell gun in his hand, and a wisp of smoke floated from the barrel.
Suddenly, he understood that the officer in front of him was actually a person pretending to be a man.
A wave of shame and indignation welled up in my heart, "Eight grids! Tada scolded angrily while stretching out his hand to his waist, but unfortunately he saw a sneer on the corner of the officer's mouth in front of him, and then he heard a gunshot, and his forehead seemed to have been hit hard, and then his vision was blurred, and he fell to the ground with unwillingness.
The gunfire in the telecommunications room was drowned out by the dense gunfire around the old mansion, and the remnants of the devils who remained in the old mansion did not notice.
And at this moment, the members of the reconnaissance team who followed Shi Qiang into the old mansion also began to ruthlessly hunt those devils guarding the warehouse.
Zhang Xinlong, the commander of the fifth company, was the platoon commander of the Imperial Association Army who rebelled on the battlefield in Pingyuan Town, and after being promoted to company commander by Liu Tianshu, he was bent on killing more devils. This time, when he received the task of attacking the hill around the old house, he immediately discussed with the instructor and quietly moved the three platoons below to the opposite side of the Japanese position around the old house, and heard the 92nd infantry cannon of the artillery company sound, and then, a platoon of the mortar company that cooperated with his action continued to fire at the opposite hill, blowing up the devil's defensive position into a ball of fire.
Seeing that the devil's firepower was suppressed, he immediately waved his hand and shouted, and saw the instructor running in front with a pistol.
The attack of the fifth company was not like Zhang Xinlong's original troops, shouting and rushing, and everyone rushed forward with guns in a swarm, all with the spirit of not being afraid of death to defeat the opponent.
In the independent regiment, according to Liu Tianshu's requirements, the troops must play a team role in attacking, and one squad is divided into four combat groups, each group is spread out in a formation of one in the front and two in the rear, and four groups in one squad are formed into a formation of the first, the middle, the second and the last, and they attack forward.
This new offensive tactic made Zhang Xinlong feel new and at the same time, his rapid advancement ability made him very amazed. (To be continued.) )
