Chapter 255: Reinforcements to Rongshan (4)
Because there are four companies in the west, the fifth company is mainly responsible for the devils in the other three directions of the old house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Xinlong's three platoons were each responsible for one direction, and it was his platoon that launched the attack from the north, and it was also the direction that the instructor personally commanded.
Instructor Gao Song saw that the devils on the hill in front of him were suppressed by artillery fire, and with a wave of the shell gun in his hand, four combat groups in a platoon and a squad immediately jumped out of the ambush just now. The three fighters of the first group were in a zigzag shape, and the two fighters in the back raised their guns to shoot at all suspicious targets, and the soldier in front immediately jumped out, then bent down and rushed forward ten meters, and immediately pounced behind a stone, aiming the gun in his hand at the front.
At this time, the devil guarding the top of the hill came back to his senses during the initial explosion and saw that someone was taking advantage of the explosion to attack the mountain, and hurriedly launched the flare into the night sky.
By the light of the flares, he found that the Eighth Route Army was rushing towards the mountain, so he shouted in panic that the Eighth Route was coming, and at the same time desperately fired below.
It's a pity that as soon as the devil's firepower point was exposed, it was immediately hit by the mortars of the artillery company of the independent regiment, and at the same time, the grenadier squad of the fifth company also took advantage of the bright light when the bullets were fired, and fired at the devil's firepower point.
With the support of mortars and grenadiers in the back, the first squad paid the price of sacrificing one person and finally rushed to the top of the mountain, and the remaining six devil soldiers saw that the eight roads rushed to the nearest place, and immediately turned their hearts sideways, and held up the 38 big cover of the bayonet, and actually rushed out.
It's a pity that the fighters of the Independent Regiment, under the teaching of Liu Tianshu, can solve the battle in other ways, and they will not fight with the devil with bayonets at all. As soon as these devils rushed out, they were beaten into a blood sieve by the crooked sub-machine guns that followed behind to provide cover.
When Zhang Xinlong learned that the mountain in the north had been captured, he was overjoyed and ordered a platoon to quickly attack the supply depot of the devils.
As a company commander, he knew that the reconnaissance team had entered the supply station in advance under the leadership of the captain Shi Qiang, and now the battle was urgent, and they urgently needed reinforcements.
The platoon commander received an order for the soldiers who were happily cleaning the battlefield on the hill to immediately put down their booty and quickly rush towards the old house at the bottom of the hill.
There are more than one squad of devils guarding the old mansion, but they are all baggage soldiers. As soon as the battle began, these devils immediately stood by in the fortifications outside the old mansion.
Because of the influence of the sound of gunfire outside, Shi Qiang and others did something to the devils inside, but they were surprisingly not noticed by the devils guarding outside.
However, there were only twelve people who followed Shi Qiang into the old mansion, and at this time, the twenty or so devils who were guarding inside had been eliminated, and then they were guarding several important places in the old mansion, and at the same time monitoring the enemies outside the old mansion.
A platoon rushed from the north, and the devils guarding outside the old house immediately relied on the fortifications to shoot desperately to block, as the Japanese army responsible for the protection of the baggage, although the combat effectiveness was much worse than that of the field troops, but the equipment was very sophisticated, that is, the devils guarding the mountain, if it were not for the artillery fire of the independent regimental artillery company, it would have lost most of the heavy machine gun fire at the beginning of the war, I am afraid that the fifth company would have to take a lot of time to capture the mountain.
The more than 20 devils guarding the north side of the house were not only armed with a 92 heavy machine gun, but also a crooked handle, and a grenadier canister.
Seeing that there were eight ways rushing on the opposite side, the devil army Cao immediately ordered the light and heavy machine guns to fire, and the dense bullets were fired, weaving a dense metal mesh on the road of a row of charges.
The platoon commander saw that the situation was not right, and immediately ordered the soldiers to find cover, while the first squad blocked the enemy head-on, and the second and third squads began to outflank in a roundabout way.
Because there are a large number of weapons and equipment and various materials in it, the bombardment of the artillery company deliberately avoided here, and the devils guarding the outside of the old mansion did not lose anything.
Just when the first platoon confronted the devils, the second and third platoons attacking from the east and south also hit the old house, only to the west, and the fierce gunfire was non-stop, but the fourth company failed to break through to this side.
Zhang Xinlong saw that his three platoons had surrounded the old house, and he was immediately overjoyed. At this moment, the battalion commander Hao Mengxuan walked over quickly.
"Fifth Company Commander, what's the situation?"
"Report to the battalion commander, we have surrounded the devils, but the devils' resistance is very tenacious, and if we don't use mortars, I'm afraid it will take some time." Zhang Xinlong's face was full of gunsmoke, and he looked at Hao Mengxuan and said.
"Tell the fighters to use their brains more in battle, it is full of ammunition, and it cannot be bombarded with artillery. Besides, there are still our comrades in it, but the firepower point against the devil can be solved with grenades. Hao Mengxuan glanced ahead, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said.
Zhang Xinlong saw that the two attacks of the second platoon were repulsed, and he was anxious, and said: "Battalion commander, don't worry, I will personally lead people to charge, I don't believe that I can't destroy these little devils." ”
Hao Mengxuan grabbed it, pointed to the front and said: "Fifth Company Commander, don't panic first, I estimate that the reconnaissance team should be near the gate, so you can concentrate on attacking the gate." ”
Hao Mengxuan has worked in the reconnaissance brigade for a long time, and knows Shi Qiang and others very well, and knows that if the reconnaissance brigade succeeds, he will definitely send people to keep an eye on the devils near the gate.
"Okay, I'll go to the gate myself." Zhang Xinlong listened, said a word, and ran to the second row with a gun.
When I got to the opposite side of the gate, I saw that the devils had built two barricades next to the gate, and two heavy machine guns desperately spat out tongues of fire, firmly blocking the way for the second platoon to advance.
"Second platoon leader, bring me the grenadiers, Lao Tzu will kill these little devils with his own hands." Zhang Xinlong stared at the devil in the distance, took the grenadier handed by the second platoon leader, set it up on the ground, squinted at the opposite barricade and estimated the distance.
After adjusting the grenadier, Zhang Xinlong roared and loaded, a soldier immediately loaded the shell, with a soft sound, the shell flew out and landed in front of a barricade, Zhang Xinlong saw that it was closer, and immediately adjusted the parameters, and then another shell passed, just falling in the barricade, with the explosion of the cannonball, two of the six devils inside were blown out, and the remaining four were also dying of broken shrapnel.
Zhang Xinlong knocked out a barricade with two cannons, and the soldiers all applauded loudly, and the soldiers of the fourth squad, under the leadership of the squad leader, quickly rushed forward.
The remaining devils in the barricade didn't expect the grenadiers of the Eighth Route Army to hit so well, and in a panic, they dragged heavy machine guns and crooked handles, turned around and prepared to run towards the gate.
At this moment, gunshots rang out at the gate, and several soldiers in imperial uniforms rushed out, raising their guns and firing directly at these eight devils without saying a word.
The eight devils didn't understand what was going on, and they were knocked to the ground.
The four people who rushed out were none other than the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade, these soldiers had towels wrapped around their sleeves at this time, and when they saw that the devils at the gate were eliminated, they immediately waved their hands and let the soldiers of the second platoon pass.
Zhang Xinlong ran over to see that it was Shi Qiang who was the leader, and immediately shouted happily: "Captain Shi, you guys are playing really well." ”
"Company Commander Zhang, let the soldiers guard here, don't let the devils rush over." When Shi Qiang saw him coming, he was also very happy.
The devils at the gate were eliminated, and it was only a matter of time before the devils in other directions were eliminated, Liu Tianshu learned that the supply station had been taken, and immediately asked Zhang Xinlong to send a squad to send the 92 infantry guns and shells in the warehouse to Shu Zhi.
At the same time, he asked Luo Kai to inform Shu Zhi not to care about the cannonballs, and to use the artillery fire to suppress the devils in White Horse Town.
As for the Fourth Company, after completing the division task, it worked with the Fifth Company to eliminate all the devils between the old house and the town, and then, according to Liu Tianshu's order, one platoon was left to monitor the devils in the town, and the other two platoons, together with the Fifth Company, quickly moved out all the weapons, ammunition, and food supplies in the devil's warehouse.
However, there are indeed too many materials in it, and when Liu Tianshu was worried, Shi Qiang came over.
"Commander, we found ten cars in the courtyard behind the old house, and we can load these supplies into the cars and transport them to Causeway Bay."
"What? Found ten cars? Hearing this, Liu Tianshu was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, ten cars, ten whole cars." Shi Qiang's eyes lit up.
Too many materials were seized this time, and the second battalion of the independent regiment alone. It is impossible to take all of them away, but now with ten cars, as long as two go back and forth, they can take advantage of the dark night to transport all the materials inside.
Causeway Bay is located in a ravine in Vinh Mountain, just fifteen kilometres from the town of Kep, and there is a road to get there. Thirty kilometers further into Causeway Bay is the center of the Rongsan base.
This Causeway Bay is also the territory of the base area.
Many fighters in the reconnaissance brigade can drive cars, and although they are not very skilled, they can still do it by following the car in front of them.
With the hard work of the soldiers of the 4th and 5th companies, they quickly loaded ten vehicles with important supplies, and then drove quickly towards Causeway Bay.
Following the car, there are also four companies and a platoon, who will rush over to take charge of the security work.
At the same time, the fighters of the other two platoons of the 4th Company ran to Causeway Bay.
The devils and the Imperial Association army stationed in White Horse Town, they didn't expect that the shells of the Eighth Road didn't need money, and they kept smashing them on their heads, and after two hours of intense shelling, the positions and camps of the Devil Emperor's Association Army in White Horse Town were blown up to pieces, and half of the Japanese troops in a squadron were lost, and as for the Imperial Army, as soon as the artillery fire of the artillery company came, they immediately hid, and the losses were much smaller.
It's just that the telephone line from White Horse Town to the supply station has been completely cut off, and the radio station can't contact the supply station.
The leader of the devil squadron guarding White Horse Town saw that the Eighth Road was only carrying out continuous artillery bombardment on the defenders of White Horse Town, and did not launch an attack, and the supply station was full of gunfire, and immediately guessed that the target of the Eighth Road should be the supply station over there.
It's a pity that the team he sent out for reinforcements was violently blocked by the Eighth Route as soon as they left the town, and finally retreated in disgrace.
In desperation, the leader of the devil squadron had to use a telegram to report the situation to Mi Toma Shaozuo, who was sweeping in the depths of Rongshan. (To be continued.) )
