Chapter 460: The fierce battle outside the south gate
"Revenge?" Li Lian's eyes rolled, thinking of Company Commander Zhu, who was brutally killed by the Japanese, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, the Japanese don't treat us as human beings, don't blame us for being ruthless, brothers, look at my eyes and act." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Lian said in a low voice, raised his pistol and shot it indiscriminately outside the city, and then quickly replaced a magazine.
When those devils saw that the puppet army was shooting out again, they turned their heads again and shot desperately outside the city.
Seeing this, Deputy Li Lian said a blow, raised his pistol, and shot at the three devils not far away, who were concentrating on shooting outside the city, and they didn't expect that the puppet army, which had always been timid, suddenly fired at them, and immediately fell backwards with a scream.
The rest of the puppet army opened fire while roaring at the devils, and Deputy Li Lian saw his men fighting fiercely with the Japanese, and he was anxious, so he ran down the city wall with a few people, and killed the four devils guarding the city gate with a burst of random guns, and then struggled to open the city gate.
Seeing that the city gate was suddenly opened, several puppet soldiers hid by the gate while waving white towels and shouted: "Don't shoot, we are Chinese, and the devils guarding the city gate were killed by us." ”
The commander of the horse company, who was about to lead the charge, pressed down the soldier who was about to shoot, and said, a platoon leader, up.
When the platoon leader heard the sound, he shouted "Come with me" in a platoon, and bent down with his gun in his hand and ran quickly towards the city gate, and behind him, a platoon of warriors followed in battle formation like fierce tigers.
Rushed into the city gate, saw several puppet soldiers standing there nervously, a platoon leader said a good word, and raised his hand to pat a puppet soldier on the shoulder, and quickly rushed into the city gate with the soldiers, rushing to the city wall.
At this time, the puppet army guarding the north gate was fighting fiercely with the devils, but unfortunately although the courage of these puppet troops was commendable, their tactical actions were no match for the devils, and more than 30 puppet troops were crushed to death by six devils.
Fortunately, at this time, a platoon leader rushed to the battlefield with soldiers, and hit the devils violently, killing the four devils, and the remaining two devils saw the ferocity of the New Fourth Army, so they had to retreat east along the city wall while shooting, but unfortunately they ran less than five meters away, and they were caught up by the New Fourth Army, and a few bullets passed and fell directly to the ground.
Seeing that a platoon controlled the north gate, the commander of the company immediately waved his hand and quickly rushed into the city with the whole company.
The three gates of the east, west and north were successively breached by the New Fourth Army, and Matsui knew that the general trend had gone, and originally wanted to apologize to the emperor by disembowelment, but was persuaded by Sato, and the two of them rushed to the south gate with the non-combatants of the headquarters.
Now the south gate is still in the hands of the Japanese army, and the only way out is to break out from the south gate.
Although he knew that Liu Tianshu's troops did not attack the south gate with all their strength, there would definitely be a rear waiting for him, but at this time, Matsui had no choice.
Liu Tianshu learned that the troops had entered the city from the three city gates, exchanged glances with Su Lan, looked at Xie Pingcai, who was answering the phone on the side, and said, "This battle is good, and the second regiment is worthy of praise." ”
Xie Ping, who answered the phone, heard this, and looked at Liu Tianshu with some embarrassment: "Detachment leader, this is all your teaching, and it is a pleasure to fight with you." ”
"Don't make a fool of yourself, if you don't attack the south gate, what are your plans?" Liu Tianshu looked at him and said.
"Detachment leader, we dug countless trenches at the south gate, besides, the city gate of the south gate was blown down again, Matsui must have thought that I would put the main attack direction at the south gate, so I estimate that Matsui must have put heavy troops at the south gate, now that the east gate, the north gate and the west gate have been captured, Matsui should know that the general trend has gone, he has no choice, even if he knows that there is a trap waiting for him at the south gate, he has to jump here. So, I want to meet him at the South Gate. Xie Ping said truthfully.
"Okay, I don't care how I fight, I want victory." Liu Tianshu was very sure when he heard him, so he didn't elaborate.
Su Lan on the side, a pair of excited eyes turned from time to time, she had never seen such a happy battle from Yan'an to eastern Anhui, that is, in the fifth detachment headquarters, every time she fought, it was very difficult, and as for attacking the county town heavily guarded by devils, it was something she had never thought about.
Unexpectedly, Liu Tianshu's seventh detachment attacked Ningyuan County so smoothly, and she also knew that Liu Tianshu had beaten Ningyuan County last time, but she gave up quickly, so it didn't attract much attention.
After Xie Ping went out, Liu Tianshu looked at the gradually whitening sky and lit a cigarette for himself.
As the leader of the detachment, although he did not directly command the battle this time, he had been paying attention, and now that victory was a foregone conclusion, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after defeating Ningyuan City, how to defend Ningyuan City next is a very nerve-wracking problem. Not to mention, once after dawn, the devil learns that Ningyuan City has been captured, whether he will be angry and send planes to bomb it, it is difficult to determine.
Half an hour later, as expected, fierce gunfire rang out at the south gate, accompanied by the sound of mortar grenades and grenadiers, and there were clumps of fire, and judging by the situation, the two sides fought very fiercely there.
"Tianshu, do you think the devil will escape from the city?" Su Lan couldn't help but ask worriedly when he saw the constant sound of gunfire there.
"Xie Pingcai is very steady, the devil who broke through from the south gate, at most two squads, I think he should have a way to deal with it." Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.
Liu Tianshu guessed correctly, Matsui led his troops to leave three minutes before the second battalion attacked his command post, and when he arrived at the south gate, he immediately gathered all the Japanese troops, and at the same time, he was accompanied by the gendarmerie and plainclothes detectives.
Seeing the frightened look on everyone's faces, Matsui straightened his military uniform and said in a deep voice: "Imperial warriors, we have been surrounded by the New Fourth Army, and now we can only have a glimmer of life if we break through from the south gate, I hope that everyone will carry forward the imperial army's invincible bushido spirit, rush out of the city, and eliminate these damned Chinese." Please! ”
After saying that, Matsui also bowed deeply to the subordinates who were surrounding him.
"Kill all the Chinese and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" The eyes of those Japanese soldiers were red, like fanatical believers roaring angrily, and those traitors who were about to flee for their lives couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
With the wave of Matsui's command knife, the two 92 infantry guns arranged at the city gate hurriedly fired shells outside the city, causing the fire to continue to rise outside the city, and before the shells were exhausted, under Matsui's order, the Japanese army overflowed from the gap like a tide, and rushed towards the outside of the city without fear while firing.
Guarding outside the city was the machine gun company of the third battalion and the guard company of the second regiment, and the deputy regiment commander Qin Yonghe personally commanded, as early as when the battle began, the two companies built a solid blocking position 500 meters away from the city gate, in order to confuse the enemy, Qin Yonghe also deployed troops less than 200 meters away from the city gate, and carried out a diversion attack on the south gate.
Countless traffic trenches were dug outside the south gate, and these traffic trench devils were also found on the city wall, they thought that the New Fourth Army was trying to approach the city gate through the traffic trenches, so they kept using artillery fire to block the New Fourth Army's excavation, but they didn't know that these traffic trenches had another mystery.
The soldiers guarding in front saw the devils suddenly rushing out of the gap, and immediately raised their guns to block them, but unfortunately there were too many devils rushing out, and the devils used infantry artillery to carry out a crazy bombardment of the outside of the city just now, so they naturally couldn't resist it, and under the order of the platoon commander, they retreated along the traffic trench while fighting.
When the devils who rushed out saw that the New Fourth Army was repulsed, they suddenly doubled their confidence, rushed forward desperately, and rushed into the traffic trench in a blink of an eye, and more devils did not jump into the traffic trench, but rushed directly forward on the position.
At this moment, Qin Yonghe saw that the devils were crowded in the front position, and suddenly shouted to fight, and the heavy machine guns of the second regiment immediately shouted happily towards the crowded crowd in front, and those devils were rushing forward, and on the flat position, they were completely alive.
The heavy machine guns of the second regiment were like several sickles harvesting back and forth, knocking the devils to the ground one by one, and when Matsui saw this scene, he was so anxious that he shouted to hurry into the trenches.
It's a pity that the New Fourth Army swept away half of Matsui's troops with a machine gun sweep, and the rest of the devils hurriedly jumped into the traffic trench and rushed forward along the crooked traffic trench.
As soon as he rushed forward, he immediately found that the New Fourth Army's communication trench was really evil.
These trenches did not go straight forward at all, but zigzagged in the wilderness outside the city. As soon as these devil soldiers turned a corner, a light machine gun suddenly appeared in front of them, and bullets rained down, and the devils running in front were immediately beaten and fell to the ground covered in blood.
By the time the devils behind took out their grenades and threw them over, the New Fourth Army had already run away.
What's more, they rushed forward for a while, but they folded back along the crooked traffic trench, and the whole traffic trench was like a labyrinth.
And at this time, a few grenades will suddenly fall on their heads, and these devils can't dodge at all in the not spacious traffic trenches, and they will either be blown up to the point of flesh and blood, or they will swallow their breath directly.
As for jumping onto the communication trench and charging directly, it is even more impossible, the heavy machine guns arranged in front of the New Fourth Army can easily tear these bold Imperial soldiers apart.
By this time, it was already dark, and Matsui heard the sound of gunfire and the screams of Imperial soldiers around him, and his heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
He didn't expect the imperial soldiers to rush into the communication trenches of the New Fourth Army, but they rushed into the grave of death.
Qin Yonghe saw that the devil was beaten and almost had the strength to fight back, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Peng Pengfei, the commander of the guard company on the side: "Company Commander Peng, it's up to you next, remember, try to capture Matsui alive." ”
"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission." When Company Commander Peng heard this, he immediately waved his hand and took the three platoons of the guard company as a reserve to the final battle.
The traffic trench in front of the machine-gun position, which they had been familiar with for the past two days, was like the back garden of their own home, and after rushing in, they attacked along the traffic trench together with the first and second platoons. (To be continued.) )
