Chapter 185: Attack on Songkan Town (2)
Seeing that the people of the reconnaissance squad had arrived at the designated position, Liu Tianshu lay in the mountain forest opposite the artillery tower in the east of Songkan Town.
Although the devils have a squad of troops stationed in Songkan Town, Songkan Town is a big town, and the devils have built four turrets on the edge of the town.
Therefore, Shiro Tanaka, the leader of the devil squad stationed in Songkan Town, set up the command post in the original town office, and then stationed one squad of Japanese soldiers and one squad of puppet troops in the north and west turrets, while two squads of puppet troops were stationed in the east turret and south respectively, and the rest of the puppet troops were stationed in the company headquarters in the east of the town.
At the same time, the Japanese puppet army patrolling along the town was divided into two groups, one group of ten people, two devils and eight puppet soldiers.
As for the guards at the four town gates, they are the police of the pseudo-police station.
After arranging the troops in this way, Shiro Tanaka was in his command post, and there were only about twenty devils left as reserves.
However, since the devils occupied Songkan Town, Shiro Tanaka's headquarters has not been attacked, and the four artillery towers built on the edge of the town can be said to have firmly controlled the surrounding of the town, and their powerful firepower made the Fuyashan guerrillas not dare to take the initiative to attack at all.
After all, the Fuyashan guerrillas did not have heavy weapons, and rifles and machine guns could not pose a threat to the turrets at all.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Shi Qiang saw the patrol of the devils walking from the north to the east along the road outside the town's trench, and immediately signaled to the soldiers who were lying in ambush on the side of the road.
The location they chose was exactly the blind spot of the line of sight between the north and east turrets, and although it was only thirty meters long, if they moved quickly, they could quietly take out these patrols.
Just now, Shi Qiang let go of the first patrol, and then adjusted the ambush position according to the interval between the enemy patrols.
After Liu Tianshu's careful guidance, the reconnaissance squad had extraordinary natural skills in concealment and camouflage, and they hid in the open ground on the side of the road, and their whole bodies were no different from the dirt on the side of the road at all, if they didn't bend down and observe carefully, they would not be easy to detect at all.
The devil who walked in front held a flashlight in his hand, swaying around from time to time, and appeared behind the sight of Shi Qiang and others, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad all held their breath and lay their heads on the ground.
The devil just shook a few times, and then walked forward, and the devil and the puppet army who followed behind were also walking lazily.
This kind of patrol duty that has to be carried out every night has long been boring, and all they want is to run to the town and have fun after the patrol is over.
It's a pity that such patrols have to be made every hour.
Seeing that the enemy's patrols had all entered the dead corners of the two turrets, Shi Qiang jumped up suddenly when the devil who hit the head walked to his side, and pounced on the devil, the devil was not wary at all, and just turned his head in shock, the sharp dagger had slashed through his neck, a bloody arrow shot out, and a sound of snorting came out of his mouth, and then slowly fell.
At the same time as Shi Qiang made a move, the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad also moved quickly towards their respective goals, and those puppet soldiers who usually acted as powerful did not expect someone to attack in the dark night, and they were hunted by the reconnaissance squad that suddenly appeared in horror.
After the enemy's patrol was cleanly done, the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad immediately changed into the enemy's clothes, and then Shi Qiang flashed a flashlight and walked forward with the reconnaissance squad in a big way.
Slowly, they walked to the turret outside the east gate, and the two puppet soldiers standing in front of the bottom department of the turret suddenly stopped laughing when they saw the patrol coming.
You know, the patrol team is led by Japanese, these devils have always had a bad temper, if you find yourself still talking when you stand guard, maybe the big ear scraper will come.
However, when the patrol got closer, a puppet soldier still mustered up his courage and shouted "Password!" ”
Unexpectedly, Taijun, who was walking in front, actually returned a sentence in Japanese, and the puppet army couldn't help but be stunned, but before he came back to his senses, he heard the Taijun scolding and scolding.
It's a pity that all the words he scolded were in Japanese, and this puppet army didn't understand half a sentence.
In the blink of an eye, the Taijun walked closer, saw the puppet army stunned there, couldn't help but be angry, raised his big hand, and suddenly slammed it towards the puppet army's face.
The puppet soldier standing guard next to him was so frightened that he was stupid, and when another devil came to him, he was not alert.
Suddenly, the puppet army who was beaten dizzy suddenly felt a sharp pain in ****, and raised his head in shock, only to find that the Taijun in front of him was so unfamiliar, and his face was so young.
It's a pity that this is his last memory in this world.
Shi Qiang glanced at the fallen puppet soldier, took back the dagger, waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him followed him into the turret.
Chen Jian, Sun Bao, Shi Hu, and Hao Mengxuan are all cadres in the reconnaissance squad, and Liu Tianshu has revealed that as soon as the reconnaissance squad is expanded into a reconnaissance platoon, a number of cadres will be promoted to serve as squad leaders.
More importantly, the reconnaissance platoon will also have the position of deputy platoon commander.
Rushing into the turret, Shi Hu naturally held a gun in the back to guard, while Chen Jian and Hao Mengxuan pounced on the four puppet soldiers who remained at the bottom of the turret.
It's a pity that these four puppet soldiers, who were playing cards around a square table at the time, were suddenly attacked by the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad, and they fell directly in a pool of blood before they had time to raise the alarm.
Eliminating the puppet army on the ground floor, the reconnaissance squad quickly rushed to the second floor, but when it was time to do it, it still made an alert puppet army pick up a rifle.
It's just that the bullet fired by this alert puppet army in a panic did not hit Hao Mengxuan.
The crisp sound of gunfire rang out, and Chen Jian immediately rushed upwards with a pistol in accordance with the predetermined plan. The six puppet soldiers upstairs were awakened by the sudden sound of gunfire, and before they could come to their senses, they saw a companion rushing up.
"What's going on?" The puppet army squad leader who was guarding it thought it was his brother, looked up and asked, and saw a black hole muzzle on his head.
"We are the Eighth Route Army, immediately lay down our arms, and we will give preferential treatment to prisoners." Seeing that these puppet soldiers wanted to turn their guns in a hurry, Hao Mengxuan shouted loudly.
The squad leader was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, the grandfather of the Eighth Route Army spares his life, we surrender the gun, we surrender the gun." ”
As he spoke, the squad leader kicked a short puppet soldier beside him, and the puppet soldier immediately put down his gun.
The two puppet soldiers guarding the top floor received an order from the squad leader and had to surrender obediently.
At this moment, the phone in the turret rang, and Jian Chen put the gun in his hand and ordered the puppet squad leader to pick up the phone.
"Why did the gun go off? What happened? The voice of the translator Lin Siru rang on the phone.
"Report to the translator, a brother's gun accidentally went off." The puppet army squad leader forced himself to calm down, and then replied.
On the other side of the phone, the interpreter explained the situation to Shiro Tanaka in Japanese, and then he heard Shiro Tanaka scolding a sentence.
"It's really a bunch of rice buckets, Tanaka Taijun said, if a similar situation occurs again, it will be dead." After Lin Siru finished scolding on the phone, he put down the phone.
At this time, the first company of the independent battalion, after receiving the signal from the reconnaissance squad, immediately entered the town from the east gate.
As for the puppet army on the turret, they were naturally escorted to the ground floor to be guarded at this time, and at the same time, a platoon of companies stayed behind to guard the turret, the third platoon and the reconnaissance squad ran to the south gate turret under the command of Jin Zhenbiao, and the second platoon ran to Shiro Tanaka's command post under the personal command of Liu Tianshu.
Since the devil had not yet noticed that the East Gate Turret had been taken, taking advantage of the devil's lack of vigilance, he quickly captured Ichiro Tanaka's command post, which naturally became Liu Tianshu's preferred target.
From the east gate to the town office in the middle of the town, only a distance of 800 meters, Liu Tianshu commanded the troops, arrived in a blink of an eye, and after meeting with the troops lurking in the town in advance, Liu Tianshu immediately commanded the troops and launched an attack on Tanaka Shiro's command post.
The battle broke out suddenly, and Shiro Tanaka heard the sound of gunfire outside the command post, and immediately understood that an accident had occurred, and he got dressed and came out with a gun, and saw that the Japanese soldiers guarding the door had been killed, and the attackers had rushed into the compound.
Seeing that these attackers were wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, they immediately knew that the Eighth Route Army in Fuya Mountain had entered the town, and immediately raised their pistols and fired directly at a Eighth Route Army running in front.
The soldier of the Eighth Route Army who ran in front rushed forward while shooting at the devil who was constantly retreating, but he didn't catch Shiro Tanaka from suddenly firing, and he was suddenly shot, his eyes were wide open, and he fell to the ground.
Liu Tianshu had just rushed into the courtyard at this time, and when he saw a devil officer hiding behind a wooden pillar and shooting, he immediately raised his gun and pointed at Shiro Tanaka is shuttle.
His pistol was fired continuously, bullets rained down, Shiro Tanaka's retracted body was half a beat slower, he was hit in the shoulder by the bullet, screamed, covered his wound and lowered his head, turned around and ran to the house.
A few other devils, seeing that the Eighth Route Army was coming too strongly, just took out the grenade in a hurry, and the Eighth Route Army threw a grenade first, and it was directly blown out.
Shiro Tanaka ran back into the house, grabbed the phone and shook it sharply, and as soon as the phone was connected, before he could speak, he was knocked to the ground by the soldiers who rushed in.
The devil stationed in Fuchang County received a call from Shiro Tanaka, and before he could understand what was going on, he heard a burst of gunfire in the microphone, and at the same time, Shiro Tanaka's screams rang out.
Watanabe received a call from Ichiro Saito, the captain of the 1st Brigade, and learned that there was a problem with the Matsukan stronghold, and immediately ordered Saito Shaosa to gather troops to rush to the aid of Matsukan Town.
The Saito Brigade was dismantled and stationed at various strongholds in Buchang County, leaving only an infantry squadron and a machine gun squadron as reserves in the county seat, and an artillery squad also remained at the brigade headquarters.
Since it was his troops that were attacked, it was natural that the Saito brigade sent reinforcements.
Saito knew by this time that Ichiro Tanaka's headquarters no longer existed, and his only hope was that the turrets to the north and west would hold out until he rushed over.
As for the two artillery towers guarded by the puppet army in the east and south, the phone calls have been unanswered, and it is unlucky to think of it. (To be continued.) )
