Chapter 187: Attack on Songkan Town (4)
Hou Guoquan saw the devil soldier Cao turn his head, shouted angrily at his brother, and immediately held the box cannon that was nervously firing the head of the gun, and after taking a deep breath, he suddenly turned his head and shouted at the devil soldier Cao **** Grandma, the gun in his hand rang out at the same time, and a bullet shot out of the muzzle, hitting the **** of the devil army Cao.
The devil soldier Cao only felt a **** pain, turned around, and saw Hou Guoquan's muzzle facing him, opened his mouth to scold, and heard two more gunshots, but Hou Guoquan fired two more shots, all of which hit him in the chest.
The Devil Scout Cao slowly fell.
The other four devils, I didn't expect Hou Guoquan, who had always bowed his head and was pleasing to the eyes, to dare to shoot at the imperial army, a devil with a quick reaction quickly picked up the gun, and before he could aim at Hou Guoquan, his head was hit hard, and his eyes were black and he fell to the ground.
The other three devils were surrounded by Hou Guoquan's men at this time, and with a burst of gunshots, the three devils were caught off guard and sent back to their hometown by the puppet army who suddenly resisted.
Seeing that the devils on the third floor were killed by himself and his subordinates, Hou Guoquan wiped the sweat on his forehead, waved his gun, and shouted at the two cronies: "Follow me and kill the devils upstairs." ”
The two cronies immediately took the Hanyang Zao in their hands, followed behind Hou Guoquan, and ran upstairs.
The other two brothers ran downstairs, found a piece of white cloth to hang on a stick, and stretched out the door and waved it out.
Hearing the sudden sound of gunfire in the turret, Liu Tianshu immediately sensitively guessed that the puppet army and the devil were infighting, and when he saw someone waving a white cloth, he immediately ordered Xie Xiaohu to take four soldiers and quickly rush into the turret.
A few devils guarding the upstairs heard the sound of gunshots downstairs, but they were not alert, because at this time they were forcing the puppet army guarding the upstairs to keep firing into the distance.
When Hou Guoquan rushed upstairs with two of his subordinates, the devil who was guarding the upstairs thought that Hou Guoquan had brought people up for reinforcements, and a smile appeared on his face.
Hou Guoquan made this move, and the brothers who followed him also immediately shot, and the puppet army guarding inside, seeing their commander moving towards the Japanese, also shouted and raised their guns to shoot at the devils.
It's just that the devil is well-trained after all, Rao is Hou Guoquan and they suddenly made a move, and the two brothers were still beaten to death by the devil who reacted.
However, these two devils were also smashed in the head by Hou Guoquan's people.
When Xie Xiaohu rushed into the turret with people, all the devils inside were eliminated.
Xie Xiaohu took Hou Guoquan to Liu Tianshu, "Battalion commander, this is Hou Guoquan's platoon commander, it was he who took his brother and killed the devil hiding in the turret." ”
Hearing this, Liu Tianshu showed a smile on his face, looked at Hou Guoquan and said: "This Brother Hou, good job, we are dignified Chinese men, how can we be angry with little devils, you have done a good job, you are worthy of being my Chinese hot-blooded man." ”
"Sir, Hou is really ashamed, so he made the chief laugh." Hou Guoquan's face was full of nervousness and shame.
"Hehe, don't be nervous about this brother, as long as he is a Chinese who really fights devils, he is my good brother Liu Tianshu." Don't worry, I won't embarrass you and your brother. After speaking, Liu Tianshu immediately ordered Yang Donghu to command the troops to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time prepare to blow up the artillery tower.
The strength of the independent battalion of Fuya Mountain is still very thin, although Songkan Town was captured tonight, but with the current strength of the independent battalion, it is impossible to hold Songkan Town, and the artillery tower built by the devil here must be completely destroyed, not only the artillery tower, but everything that the devil has in Songkan Town, must be brought back to the base area.
After handing over the task of cleaning up the battlefield to Yang Donghu and Zhu Aiguo, Liu Tianshu asked Shi Qiang and Yu Yongzhong to gather their troops and rush to Qilongao with all their strength to pick up the second company responsible for blocking the devils who came from the county seat to reinforce them.
An hour earlier, the 2nd Company, which was guarding the Dragon Pass, had come into contact with the Saito Brigade that had come out from Fuchang County to reinforce it.
However, Jin Zhenbiao, who had followed Liu Tianshu for a period of time, was quite experienced in blocking the enemy in the dark.
Although his second company has just been reorganized and there are quite a few new fighters in it, after all, after more than 10 days of intensive training, coupled with the fact that his second company has particularly strengthened its training in fighting blocking tactics, the combat effectiveness of the unit has been greatly enhanced.
After Jin Zhenbiao commanded the troops, under the leadership of soldiers who were familiar with the situation, they rushed to the Dragon Pass, and immediately spread out the three platoons at the Dragon Pass and began to build three lines of defense, which were also connected by trenches.
Hearing the start of Songkan Town, he immediately let a platoon go forward and completely cut the road in front of the Dragon Pass, and at the same time put the rocks and some trees on the road that was dug up.
In order to add trouble to the devils, he also asked the warriors to carefully arrange a few tricky mines under those trees.
According to the battalion commander, there is no need to treat the little devil as a human being at all, and whatever means are effective, he will use whatever means, and he doesn't have to care about whether the light is bright or not, whether it is righteous or not.
Even if you use any vicious means against the little devils, it is also a matter of course.
With the words of the battalion commander, the soldiers of the second company naturally gave full play to the inherent whimsical nature of the descendants of China, some soldiers arranged traps on the dug roads, buried some sharpened wood in them, some buried the traps of wild beasts on the main roads that the devils must pass, and some naughty ones also made feces on the road.
After doing this, the first platoon withdrew to the first line of defense, the second platoon was responsible for the second line of defense, and the third platoon was in the third line of defense.
The distance between the three lines of defense was eighty meters, and at the same time, Jin Zhenbiao asked a platoon to give the little devils a fierce attack, and then immediately withdrew to the second line of defense, and waited until the devils' artillery fire was over, and then returned to the first line of defense.
Then the platoon gave the devils another block and then withdrew again, but did not stay in the second line of defense, but directly retreated to the third line of defense.
The second platoon was in the second line of defense, holding out for only one round, and immediately retreated back.
After the three platoons engaged the devils, the three platoons were slowly retreating.
Anyway, the task assigned by the battalion commander is to delay the reinforcements of the enemy for two hours, as long as the devils who come to reinforce are not allowed to rush to Songkan Town within two hours.
Therefore, after the three platoons blocked the enemy for a while, they immediately got out of the way and let the devils go to Songkan Town.
Saito commanded the troops, divided into more than ten cars, turned on the lights, and rushed to the dragon pass with murderous spirit, and the devil who opened the road in front suddenly found that the road was blocked, and hurriedly braked suddenly, while sending someone to report to the captain, while directing the devil to get out of the car and clear the obstacles on the road.
Those devils are still alert, more than a dozen devils quickly ran to both sides to be on guard, the rest of the devils in the light of the headlights, rushed to the trees on the road, the two devils grabbed a piece of wood, lifted it hard, just about to throw it to the side of the road, suddenly smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, looked carefully, saw a faint fire in front of him, suddenly frightened, shouted: "There is a bomb." ”
As he spoke, the two devils threw the wood in their hands, and just as they were about to throw it to the side, the grenade exploded immediately, and a slow-acting devil was cut in the shoulder by shrapnel, and immediately the blood flowed like a pour, and he couldn't help but let out a miserable scream.
Fortunately, the rest of the devils heard the warning and threw themselves to the ground desperately, but they were not hit by the shrapnel that flew from the explosion.
But in this way, those devils who were about to rush up to clean the obstacles immediately became cautious, and finally the devils with flashlights carefully inspected them, and after feeling that there was no danger, they stepped forward to clean up.
Seeing that the devils had become cautious, Platoon Commander Zhu, who was guarding the first line of defense, and a platoon of soldiers with good marksmanship slowly raised their guns, and after slowly aiming with the light on the opposite side, they suddenly pulled the trigger, and the crisp gunshots rang out, and the two devils were beaten to the ground.
The devil in charge of the guard noticed that someone was sneaking up, and immediately turned around and raised his gun to shoot continuously into the darkness in front of him.
It's a pity that after Platoon Commander Zhu and the soldier got a shot, they immediately squatted in the trench and didn't show their heads at all, allowing the devil's bullets to fly over the position.
Saito heard that the road in front of him had been dug up, and that there were people sneaking up on his troops, so he hurriedly walked to the front, but unfortunately there was no movement on the other side, so he quickly ordered his men to stop shooting, and listened quietly for a while, but still found that there was nothing unusual.
"Could it be that this is the harassment tactics of the Eighth Route Army?" Saito thought to himself.
You must know that if the Eighth Route Army wants to break through Songkan Town, it is impossible without the strength of a regiment, and according to the information obtained, the Eighth Route Army that ran to Fuya Mountain was at most a battalion.
With this amount of troops, how can it be possible to attack Songkan Town and block itself?
However, at this time, he still has an extra heart.
In his opinion, Songkan Town had a strong artillery tower, and there was not only a company of puppet troops, but also a small squad of imperial troops. It's just that the radio station of the Tanaka squad was broken two days ago, because there was a telephone between Songkan Town and the county seat, and it didn't attract attention at that time.
Now that communication with the town of Songkan is interrupted, in Saito's opinion, it should be the Eighth Route Army that has cut the telephone lines. As for the Eighth Route Army, which had already broken through the town of Songkan, it was impossible.
If the real purpose of the Eighth Route Army was not Songkan Town, but its own reinforcements, then the situation would be a little bad.
After this thought flashed through Saito's heart, he immediately ordered the troops to get out of the car and prepare for battle, and at the same time asked the artillery squad that followed to prepare for artillery bombardment, and as soon as the Eighth Route Army exposed the target, immediately use artillery fire to carry out a rapid attack.
Platoon Commander Zhu saw that the devil was busy on the opposite side for a while, so he stopped shooting this side, and immediately probed with the soldier again, and with the help of the distant firelight, he aimed at the devil who was busy, and quickly pulled the trigger.
The gunshots rang out again, and the two devils fell to the ground.
Platoon Commander Zhu and the soldier quickly squatted down again, just waiting for the devil to fire at this side again.
It's a pity that this time, it was to the surprise of Platoon Commander Zhu, the devil's machine gun did not sound, but what suddenly sounded was the whistling sound of shells in the night sky. (To be continued.) )
