It's a pity that the attacks of the independent division have always been fast and effective, and the 21st Brigade was originally the main force of the independent division, and its combat effectiveness is extraordinary. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first battalion and one company of the 65th Regiment are a well-known sharp knife company in the whole regiment, and the coordination between its squads and platoons and the tactical movements of its soldiers are even more extraordinary.

Before these puppet soldiers rushed to the edge of the trench, a row of them rushed to a close place, grenades and bullets immediately flew towards the position, a few grenades were falling into the trenches, with the explosion of grenades, in a small space, bullet skins flew everywhere, the three puppet soldiers who had just run here were hit by bullet skins, let out a few screams, and then fell softly in the trenches.

Geng Dazhu, the leader of the first platoon of squads who rushed to the front, threw the grenade, but his body was pressed very low, and he ran towards the trench quickly with left and right flashes, and behind him, the two fighters cooperated closely, while the other fighters in the squad held their guns and desperately suppressed them in front.

The puppet army that rushed to the position found that several New Fourth Army troops were about to rush to the trench, and they were just about to run over, but they were stopped by bullets from the soldiers behind, and the two puppet soldiers were unfortunately hit.

Taking advantage of the sluggishness of the puppet army's movements, Geng Dazhu saw that he ran to the side of the trench, immediately flew and jumped, his hand was supported on the trench, and his body immediately turned into the trench, and he rolled on the ground, the gun in his hand was already raised, and he saw a shadow rushing from the side of the trench, and immediately raised his hand and shot the man to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, two other fighters also jumped into the trenches.

The three of them rushed into the trench and immediately controlled a section of more than ten meters, and the soldiers of the first squad had a squad leader and comrades-in-arms to respond, and soon rushed to the position of the puppet army.

After the first squad rushed in, they immediately rushed along the trench in two ways, and the other two squads in the first platoon quickly followed suit.

The devil who was in charge of supervising the puppet army saw the New Fourth Army rushing to the position, and he was so anxious that he shouted and forced the puppet army to recapture the lost position, but before he could run far, he was hit by a bullet, and with full of unwillingness, he went back to see their Amaterasu.

A platoon rushed to the position, and the two hidden bunkers of the puppet army on the forward position were naturally greatly reduced, and in less than fifteen minutes, the puppet army guarding the front line, except for those who put down their guns and surrendered, all the rest were wiped out.

Immediately afterwards, the 1st battalion launched an attack on the main position held by the devils.

The devils guarding Changxing knew that the artillery fire of the New Fourth Army was powerful, so they did not build tall pillboxes, but built low bunkers, such fortifications could reduce the threat of shelling, but they didn't know that the independent division was equipped with self-made incendiary bombs.

As the soldiers of the 65th Regiment attacked in front of the two bunkers on the main position of the devils, the soldiers of the incendiary bomb squad immediately fired several incendiary bombs at the bunker where the devils were spitting out their tongues of fire under the cover of the soldiers of the 65th Regiment, enveloping the bunker in the flames.

Immediately afterwards, the fighters of the explosion group rushed forward and threw two explosive bags into the bunker, and with two loud bangs, the devil's bunker on the small hill was destroyed by the 65th regiment.

After eliminating the devils of Xiaogangzi, the 65th Regiment approached the east gate of Changxing.

When the 65th Regiment captured Xiaogangzi, the 66th Regiment also successfully hit the West Gate.

Ji Sen, the captain of the Japanese army stationed in Changxing City, was shocked to learn that the positions outside the east and west gates had been lost one after another, he did not expect that the defense line that he thought was extremely strong would be quickly broken by the independent division, and the Japanese army in Xia Yucun did not dare to reinforce overnight because it was already night.

The New Fourth Army began to storm the east and west gates, which made him anxious. 、

Helplessly, he only had such a small number of troops in his hands, a squad guarding the east gate, a squad at the west gate, a squadron at the south gate, a squadron at the north gate, and the remaining two squadrons and a machine gun squadron were responsible for defending the city. As for the puppet army that cooperated with the operation, there was a company in each of the four directions outside the city, the other two companies cooperated with the imperial army to defend the city, and there was also a battalion of troops, but they stayed in the city to be responsible for grain collection and eradication.

Now that the positions outside the east and west gates have been lost, and the positions outside the south and north gates have also been attacked, how can he not be in a hurry.

The sixty-fifth regiment attacked the city and immediately rushed towards the city gates.

Ono Saburo, the leader of the Japanese squadron guarding the eastern city, saw the New Fourth Army rushing to the city, and immediately fired flares, illuminating the area around the city gate as if it were daylight, and at the same time, the devils and puppet soldiers guarding the city were ready to shoot in their respective positions.

Gui Xuebing also arrived outside the city at this time, and when he saw the devils on the city gate, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously, and ordered the heavy machine guns of the whole regiment to be quickly set up outside the city, and at the same time, the mortars were also prepared for shelling outside the city.

Although Gieson also had an infantry artillery squad in his hand, it was deployed in the city and had not yet emerged.

However, Tong Guijie had already formulated a method for dealing with the devil's infantry artillery, and the two companies of the 21st Brigade Special Service Battalion had already mixed into Changxing County in advance, and with the cooperation of the underground party lurking in the city, one company was responsible for dealing with the devil's artillery team, and the other company was responsible for cooperating with Gui Xuebing.

As Gui Xuebing opened fire, the mortars arranged outside the city began to fire at the city wall, and the shells flew out, and some fell on the city wall, and immediately resounded with an earth-shattering explosion.

While the mortars opened fire, the 2nd Battalion, acting as the siege vanguard, began to rush under the walls.

When Ono Saburo saw the New Fourth Army firing artillery, he immediately knew that the New Fourth Army was about to attack, and immediately ordered the grenadiers to prepare for the opening of the cannons, and when the New Fourth Army rushed to 400 meters away from the city wall, the heavy machine guns of the devils on the city wall opened fire one after another, and at the same time, the grenadiers also began to bombard.

The 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion saw the devils on the city wall firing, and immediately looked for cover, and then slowly approached, while at the same time, the mortars of the 65th Regiment arranged in the back immediately fired at the position of the devil's grenadier canisters to suppress the devil's firepower.

The grenadiers of the devils on the city wall were knocked out by the mortars of the New Fourth Army in a blink of an eye, and the firepower on the city wall suddenly weakened.

At the same time, the machine gun fire of the devils on the city wall was also suppressed by the heavy machine guns of the 65th Regiment.

The second battalion and the first company, which served as the main attacker, took advantage of the weakening firepower of the devils and immediately seized the opportunity to rush forward, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived less than two hundred meters away from the city gate.

At this time, the devils and puppet soldiers guarding the city wall were even more anxious, and under the coercion of the devil officers, many puppet soldiers were forced to risk being hit and shoot with their probes, and in the fierce battle between the two sides, the casualties of the devils and the puppet army increased sharply.

At this moment, dozens of puppet soldiers ran towards the city wall under the leadership of an officer, Ono Saburo saw that the reinforcements were coming, and he immediately felt happy, and opened his mouth and shouted: "Quick, call me quickly." ”

The puppet army officer who walked in the head was holding a shell gun in his hand, and when he saw Ono Saburo's shout, he immediately smiled on his face and took two quick steps.

When Ono Saburo saw his smile, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and just as he was about to ask carefully, he saw that the group of people had rushed up the city wall, and the officer who was running in the head suddenly raised his hand.

"Not good," Ono secretly screamed, his body flashed to the side, and a bullet flew past him, at the same time, the puppet army that rushed up the city wall kept shooting at the devils on the city wall, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "We are the New Fourth Army, and the Chinese do not fight the Chinese." ”

When the puppet soldiers who were shooting outside the city heard this shout, they couldn't help but tremble, put their guns down, and sat on the ground.

The devils on the city wall were concentrating on shooting outside the city at that time, and they were caught off guard by the New Fourth Army that rushed up, and many devils swallowed their breath without understanding what was going on.

Ono Saburo only felt a chill in his back at this time, he saw the imperial soldiers fall one by one, knowing that the general trend had gone, he suddenly jumped out of the hiding place, rolled over his body, rolled to the stone steps on one side, and then rolled a few times, and escaped from the city wall.

By the time the soldiers of the 21st Brigade Special Service Battalion, disguised as puppet soldiers, discovered that Saburo Ono had run away.

Destroy the devils on the city wall, more than 30 warriors immediately rushed down the city wall, fought fiercely, eliminated the enemy guarding the city gate, and then struggled to open the city gate.

Seeing that the city gate was opened, Gui Xuebing excitedly shouted "yes", and immediately, the 65th Regiment entered the city from the east gate.

Ever since the New Fourth Army began to attack Zhujiaxiang and Changxing City, the commander of the Japanese army in Central China, Duo Ze, has been paying close attention to the changes in the situation. To tell the truth, the last time the base camp allowed the Japanese army in Central China to attack the third theater of operations and ensure the safety of the flank of the Japanese army in the Battle of Changsha, he had many small excuses.

The Japanese army seemed to be in the limelight on Chinese soil, and even the grassroots officers thought that the imperial army was invincible, but as the commander of the Japanese army in Central China, he knew this. The Chongqing government resisted desperately, and although the Nanjing puppet Nationalist government defected to the empire, it was limited, especially after the war lasted for four years, which made the dream of ending the war in three months come to naught, and the empire was also pulled into the quagmire of war.

At present, the situation on the battlefield in China is not optimistic, the army in Chongqing is stubbornly resisting, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are again operating in the occupied areas, and the limited forces of the empire have long been stretched.

At this time, the short-sighted Japanese high-level leaders actually listened to the greedy words of some war maniacs and brazenly launched the Pacific War; in order to conquer the South Seas as soon as possible, the base camp drew a large number of troops from the Chinese battlefield, and the combat effectiveness of the troops in his hands can be said to have dropped sharply.

Thinking of this, he felt very painful, and wanted to send troops to reinforce Changxing, but he was afraid of being ambushed by the New Fourth Army.

Just when he was hesitating left and right, an urgent telegram from the New Fourth Army suddenly attacking Guangde and Si'an was delivered to him.

Seeing this message, he knew that what he had been worrying about had finally happened.

The attack of the 22nd Brigade of the New Fourth Army on Guangde and Si'an began two hours after the 21st Brigade launched the battle against Changxing. According to the original plan, after the New Fourth Army attacked Changxing, if the Japanese mobile troops in Guangde went out of the city to reinforce, they would ambush the Japanese army on the road, but who knew that two hours later, the Japanese army did not have the slightest sign of reinforcements, so Xie Ping decided to implement the second set of plans to encircle Guangde and attack Si'an.

All of a sudden, the Japanese positions outside Guangde City were fiercely attacked by the New Fourth Army, and at the same time, the 68th Regiment of the 22nd Brigade launched an attack on the enemy in Si'an. (To be continued.) )
