Chapter 383: Anti-Sweep in Progress (Part II)
A platoon rushed to the gate of the stronghold, and immediately several grenades flew out, blowing the gate directly away, and at the same time a squad of fighters immediately rushed in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The devil had two firepower points made of sandbags at the gate, and when the gate was blown up, the Imperial Allied troops guarding these two firepower points were killed by the flying sawdust shrapnel, and the rest turned around and ran away in fright.
Platoons rushed into the gates, immediately jumped into the fortifications, and quickly prepared to hold on.
At the same time, Xie Ping saw that a row had taken control of the gate, and immediately waved his hand and ordered the Demoman to rush up quickly with the explosives bag.
The two turrets of the devils were ignited by the five bombardiers, but although the flames surrounded the outer wall of the turret, the devils could not use the shooting holes to effectively shoot at the attacking New Fourth Army for a while, but the strong turrets still stood majestically, and to remove the turrets of the devils, they had to use explosives packs to blast them.
Fortunately, at this time, the first platoon of the fourth company had taken control of the gate, and the second and third platoons were also ready to attack.
Each of the four soldiers ran to the turret with a bag of explosives tied to a long bamboo pole, supported the explosives on the outer wall of the turret, and then suddenly lit the fuse.
The soldiers in the first platoon knew that the Demoman was ready to blow up the turret, so they naturally looked for cover and lay on the ground.
The more than 30 devils and more than 40 imperial troops guarding the two turrets have suffered one-third casualties in the attack launched by the New Fourth Army, especially the devils on the top of the turret, all of whom have been killed******.
Now that the gate has been captured again, the devils guarding the turret are caught in the dilemma of whether to go down and destroy the New Fourth Army that occupies the gate, or stick to the turret.
At this moment, a sharp-eyed devil accidentally found that the demoman of the New Fourth Army rushed to the bottom of the turret from the firing hole, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat and reported the situation to the commander in horror.
Unfortunately, at this time, it was impossible to stop the New Fourth Army's demomen from planting explosive packs, so Akita had to order all the personnel to rush down the turret and block the attack of the New Fourth Army with all their might.
It's a pity that it's too late, Akita and the rest of the devils and the Imperial Alliance Army haven't run out of the turret, the explosive pack has already exploded, only to hear two loud bangs, the turret where Akita is located is shrouded in dust and smoke, and at the same time countless stones fly into the sky.
By the time the dust and mist cleared, half of the originally tall and sturdy turret had collapsed, and the other half was still standing there, but it was also crumbling.
A few Imperial Cooperative troops who were lucky enough not to run down the turret were covered with dust at this time, like wooden carvings, and they sat in the turret, not daring to move at all.
And those devils and the Imperial Alliance Army who had just run to the ground floor were all buried by flying bricks and stones in the violent explosion just now.
Less than a minute after the turret where Akita was located was blown up, another turret was also given the same order, and that turret was even worse, the entire turret was blown up, and none of the dozens of devils and the Imperial Army in it escaped, and all of them were buried in the rubble.
Xie Ping saw that the devil's two turrets were directly blown up, and he couldn't help but shine in his eyes, looked at Liu Tianshu and said, "Regiment leader, the devil's turret was finally blown up by us." ”
"Hehe, don't be busy rejoicing yet, Battalion Commander Xie, order the troops to immediately eliminate the enemy in the stronghold, and then clean up the battlefield, the devil's reinforcements will arrive soon." Liu Tianshu raised his hand and looked at the time, it had been an hour since the battle began.
"Yes, Captain." Xie Pingcai shouted happily, and then ordered the fourth and fifth companies to quickly end the battle.
After the devils and the Imperial Allied Army guarding the stronghold were eliminated in the turret, their morale was severely hit, especially the remaining thirty Imperial Allied Army, seeing the New Fourth Army rushing towards them, they immediately raised their guns and surrendered voluntarily.
Although the more than ten devil soldiers resisted desperately, it was a pity that the fourth and fifth companies had become more and more skilled in the use of squad and platoon tactics during the attack after this period of intensive training, and in less than 20 minutes, these devil soldiers were all wiped out.
Subsequently, the second battalion quickly swept the battlefield, and after learning that the fifth company had found weapons and ammunition in the warehouse of the stronghold, Liu Tianshu and Xie Ping rushed over.
When he saw that the room was full of bullets, grenades, medicines, and field dry food, Liu Tianshu immediately understood that Sen Mu had put all the logistics materials of the Eastern Route Army in Majiaji, and immediately smiled with joy and ordered the soldiers to move all their things, even the telephone and telephone line sapper shovels.
As for the Japanese army's low-power radio station that was discovered, it was naturally taken away completely.
When evacuating Majiaji, Zuo Guanglong, the commander of the fourth company, reported that he found that there were still eight Imperial Allied troops trapped on the remaining turret, and asked Liu Tianshu how to deal with it.
Liu Tianshu went over to see that half of the turret had been blown off, and the stairs had been blown away, and these Imperial Cooperative troops trapped on it couldn't come down for a while.
Thinking that they were all Chinese, Liu Tianshu asked Zuo Guanglong to order those imperial allied troops to throw down their weapons and ammunition, otherwise they would immediately blow up the building.
When those Imperial Allied troops heard this, they had to obediently throw down the weapons in their hands and watch the New Fourth Army march away.
Half an hour after Liu Tianshu and Xie Pingcai left Majiaji with the second battalion, the devils who came to reinforce from Linshan County finally arrived at Majiaji, but what appeared in front of them was a stronghold that had been bombed into ruins.
The Japanese commander who was ordered to reinforce inspected the entire stronghold, and finally found only eight frightened Imperial Allied troops on the remaining turrets, so he had to think carefully to get those eight people down.
However, he asked these people about the situation, and they all said with trepidation that the New Fourth Army was too powerful, and that the New Fourth Army did not know what new weapons were used, and even set fire to the outside of the turret, so that the imperial troops guarding the turret could not prevent them from approaching the stronghold. 、
The devil commander couldn't see what to ask, so he had to curse the rice bucket, and then use the radio to report the situation to Moriki.
At that time, Senmu led the troops to advance westward, because the soldiers had not slept well last night, and they were called up to hurry at this time, and they were a little lacking in spirit, and this speed naturally could not be fast.
No, two hours have passed, and they haven't gotten ten kilometers yet.
At this moment, Sen Mu received a report from his subordinates who had been ordered to rush to reinforcements, saying that the Majiaji stronghold had been destroyed by the New Fourth Army, and the troops guarding the Majiaji stronghold were all killed except for the eight frightened Imperial Cooperative Army.
All the supplies stored in the Majiaji stronghold were lost.
"The Ma Jiaji stronghold was actually wiped out by the New Fourth Army?" Sen Mu couldn't believe his eyes, you know, the Ma Jiaji stronghold has two extremely strong turrets, and the New Fourth Army has no mountain artillery and other heavy weapons, how could it blow up the turrets so quickly.
You know, it's only been two hours since the battle started.
Could it be that the Imperial Army, with such a strong turret, could not hold out for two hours?
In particular, all the supplies stored in Majiaji were snatched by the New Fourth Army, and Sen Mu couldn't help but be dizzy.
In this raid on Sujiatang, his troops brought two weeks' provisions, half of which were placed in Majiaji.
After all, the troops have to march to fight, and with spare ammunition and food, it is very likely to slow down the speed, who would have thought that these supplies were given to the New Fourth Army in vain.
When he was angry, a Japanese officer stepped forward and said carefully: "Captain, the Majiaji stronghold has been breached in just two hours, and I suspect that the main force of the 16th Regiment of the New Fourth Army may have run behind us. ”
A sentence woke up the person in the dream, Sen Mu heard it, and hurriedly asked people to take out the map, and after carefully inspecting it, it was decided that the troops would suspend their advance to Sujiatang, and wait until they found the main force of the 16th Regiment of the New Fourth Army, and then decide to act.
After all, Moriki was an experienced commander, and when he found that the main force of the 16th Regiment of the New Fourth Army was very likely to run behind him, he ordered the Fujiki squadron under his personal command to quickly occupy Miaoba Village, and at the same time build fortifications on the surrounding hills to prevent the New Fourth Army from attacking him.
Liu Tianshu and Xie Pingcai walked 10 kilometers west with the 2nd Battalion and were resting in a mountain forest when they received a report from the reconnaissance company that the devils who were advancing west suddenly stopped in Miaoba Village.
This Miaoba Village is not within the scope of the New Fourth Army base area, and naturally there is no organization for evacuation.
Knowing that the devil suddenly stopped in Miaoba Village, Liu Tianshu couldn't help frowning. After thinking about it, he said to the soldiers who came to deliver the letter: "Immediately tell you Company Commander Zhou that you must closely monitor the movements of this group of enemies, and report to me immediately if there is any situation." ”
The devil stopped moving west, and there was no point in staying there any longer.
After thinking about it for more than ten minutes in the mountains and forests, Liu Tianshu ordered Xie Pingcai to immediately ask the soldiers to replenish the ammunition, and then find a hidden place to bury the remaining ammunition first, and at the same time ordered the fourth company to escort the wounded and prisoners back to Sujiatang, and the fifth and sixth companies turned to the southwest.
In addition, Liu Tianshu sent a messenger and ordered the first battalion to leave one company to block the enemy at Xiaotangpo, and the other two companies, plus a platoon of the reconnaissance company and a machine gun company, hurried to Jinlang Bay, preparing to encircle and annihilate the Yokono squadron in the south.
If Yokono wants to rush to Sujiatang, Jinlang Bay is the only way to go, and according to calculations, his troops should be forty miles away from Jinlang Bay.
After the order was issued, the 5th and 6th companies of the 2nd Battalion immediately forced their march and ran towards Jinlang Bay.
Two hours later, the troops finally reached Jinlang Bay and joined up with the battalion that had been ordered to come.
Tong Guijie, the commander of the first battalion, knew that the second battalion had succeeded in attacking the Majiaji stronghold, eliminated more than 100 enemies, and captured a large number of supplies. ”
"Lao Tong, this is all well guided by the head of the regiment." Xie Pingcai glanced at Liu Tianshu and said with reverence in his tone.
Liu Tianshu heard this on the side, and said with a smile: "Lao Xie's second battalion fought really well this time, this knife directly stabbed Senmu in the soft underbelly, and when we eat Yokono again, I don't think Senmu dares to attack my Sujiatang?" (To be continued.) )
