Chapter 73: The Suhu Brigade (3)
Wan Zixiong didn't think much of Li Jiakui's victory, this nerd was just shit luck!
The devils in Changshu, like the devils in the eastern suburbs of Suzhou, broke through the layers of resistance, endured the attack from behind, used up the ammunition of heavy firepower, and finally rushed to the north shore of Yangcheng Lake with more than 700 people, completing the encirclement of Yangcheng Lake.
Wan Zixiong calculated the situation: there are two brigades of devils in the east and west, both of which are new forces that have been smoothly inserted, there is a brigade of devils in the north and south, and there is a new force of devils in the south, but Li Jiakui in the south can beat him in the back at any time, and the devils in the north are already at the end of the crossbow, so if you can't withstand the encirclement and suppression of the devils, you can get out from both the north and the south, and the remaining problem is how to thwart the encirclement and suppression of the devils.
After Changsheng Wunan and other units arrived as planned, they immediately ordered: first shelling from all sides, and then the Suzhou Gangcun Brigade and the Changshu Inoue Brigade advanced north and south, interspersed along the road in the lake; The Wuxi Yoshino Brigade, the Chenggang Brigade, the Kunshan Watanabe Brigade, and the Taicang Hamada Brigade used wooden boats and rubber boats to advance east and west to clean up the lake and the islands.
In the lake area, it was very inconvenient to carry artillery and heavy machine guns, so Wan Zixiong did not arrange artillery and heavy machine guns in the lake area at all. But he had fortifications against heavy weapons---- trestle bridges on the shores of the lake. The trestle bridge is built for the convenience of fishing boats to dock, there is a certain height from the water surface to hide people below, but the strength is not enough to resist the shelling, Wan Zixiong they reinforced the bridge piles of the trestle bridge, and specially made a multi-layer bamboo curtain, the bamboo curtain is covered on the trestle deck when the shelling is prevented, and then pressed with a wet quilt, and the bamboo curtain hangs down to the water surface 2 feet below, and the underwater anti-artillery hole is built, that is, anti-shimpnage and anti-shock wave!
At this time, Wan Zixiong was immersed in the water under the trestle, hiding from the shelling with everyone. He knew that after the shelling, it would be the decisive moment to fight the devil!
In order to prevent accidental injury, the devils who were advancing from the north and south set off later, but the flotilla from the east and west attacked first. The devil already knew that Wu Mujun had 6 motorboats that were extremely fast, so each of the devils was equipped with more than 2 grenadiers, ready to cover the motorboats with firepower.
The lake surface of Yangcheng West Lake in the west is narrow, and all kinds of devil boats quickly approach the lake avenue, and Wu Mujun launched dozens of meteor flying mines, and the ordinary wooden boats and rubber boats of the devils can't stand the meteor thunder that hits the tank, and the hit is shattered. The devil commander on the west bank was shocked by the unexpected super firepower and immediately ordered the ships to turn around and retreat.
The devils in the east don't know why, but they still move forward bravely. The devil's long-awaited motorboat appeared, 3 motorboats rushed straight towards the devil's fleet, and each fired 3 meteor thunderbolts from a distance from the devil's fleet, when the devil woke up from the shock of the explosion, the motorboat was rapidly approaching the fleet, and the devil's grenadier hurriedly launched, but the untrained devils couldn't aim at all under mutual movement, not to mention that the motorboat was not only fast but also erratic in direction!
After sinking a few ships, the motorboat passed through the middle of the devil's fleet and headed straight for the devil on the east coast. After approaching the shore, 3 meteor thunderbolts per boat went straight to the devil artillery position, but did not hit.
The three motorboats missed a hit, turned around in a chic manner, and came to the devil's fleet, and the devil's boat was afraid to avoid it, so they avoided it one after another, but they were still hit by meteors and thunderbolts.
After Changsheng Wu Nan got the report, he was furious and furious: "I don't believe it, 6,000 imperial soldiers can't wipe out a few Zhina soil buns!" ”
It was the erratic performance of the six motorboats of the "Shina Bun" on Yangcheng Lake, which shattered the dream of Changsheng Wunan's east-west advance, and also destroyed two infantry guns of the Okamura Brigade in the south, sinking 25 enemy ships in one day.
When it was dark, Jiang Kang's troops attacked behind the devils in the east, Li Jiakui attacked the devils in the south, and Wu Mu's army in the north also began to launch a frontal attack on the devils in Changshu.
In this battle, Wan Zixiong eliminated two brigades of devils (Changshu Inoue Brigade was also completely annihilated), sank 39 enemy ships, killed about 500 enemies, Wu Mujun killed 97 people, seriously injured 56 people, lightly injured 131 people, captured not much, but in southern Jiangsu, won the hearts of the people, the team expanded to more than 5,000 people.
Knowing that Jiang Kang was ordered to cross the river to fight north, Wan Zixiong decided to advance eastward, fill Jiang Kang's position, and threaten the beach!
Wan Zixiong listened to the summary reports of various departments, was impressed by Li Jiakui, and appointed Li Jiakui as the deputy captain and chief of staff of the Jiangsu and Shanghai Brigade, leading more than 2,000 people developed on the basis of the original battalion, as well as motorboat squadrons, heavy machine gun squadrons, infantry artillery squadrons, and mortar squadrons, in charge of the Jiangsu (Zhou) Chang (Shu) area, responsible for the defense area defense, troop training, organization of production and rescue, and logistics supply; Wan Zixiong led the other two battalions and guard companies of the original Wumu Army to develop more than 3,000 people, equipped with two infantry guns, two mortars, two heavy machine guns, and a number of meteor and javelin mines, ready to march to Shanghai!
Wan Zixiong took the guard company on a trip first. The first is to be familiar with the terrain and transportation, the second is to understand and make friends with the top figures in various places, and the third is to save some money for the later actions.
Wan Zixiong traveled to talk about style, brought 3 carts, pulled the sinking tank wine, a winery and a wealthy posture, others dressed as Jianghu Langzhong, butchers, artists, and several carts pulling ropes, fishing nets, shovels, pickaxes, hoes, knives, shovels, axes, chisels, grains, dried fruits......
Along the way, I met all kinds of anti-Japanese armed forces, and I came to visit; The gentry, wealth, scholars, and literati of various towns and villages also handed over their names; ruffian bullies, secretly cleared; The most beautiful thing is the turret of the devil.
Wan Zixiong has several devil's certificates: what special high school, Mei organ, Chinese dispatch army headquarters gendarmerie, Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd., Great East Asia Evening News, Yomiuri Shimbun...... With these pieces of paper, there are a lot of devils nodding their heads and waists, as well as large bags of sweat medicine and soul-breaking incense, so that the devils can't find the north.
Wan Zixiong really made himself a Japanese without fear, and when he saw the turret, he entered, and when he saw the Japanese, he was close.
Under a turret, Wan Zixiong pointed arrogantly at the soldiers in the watchtower: "You, go and call your commander to come to see me!" ”
When the devil officer came out and saw Wan Zixiong's arrogant style, he hurriedly saluted: "Sir, are you looking for me?" ”
Wan Zixiong took out a certificate: "I am Mu Wujing Sanzhong Zuo of the epidemic prevention force, and I must talk about secrets separately!" ”
The devil officer is just a little second lieutenant, how dare he slack off, and hurriedly invited Wan Zixiong into the house.
"Listen," Wan Zixiong's face tensed, "The Imperial Army is going to have an important operation recently, it is top secret, and I want to give you preventive medicine!" Orders to your level, to keep your mouth shut about others, leakers, no mercy! You only told the soldiers that I was a member of the National Condolence Corps, and asked them to drink a bowl of wine each! ”
"Hello!"
After a while, the devils of the squad were drunk and unconscious, and everything in the turret was looted. Weapons and ammunition are buried, secretly recorded, and recorded.
……
The turret of a railway garrison brigade. The devil is having dinner. Wan Zixiong, dressed in a kimono, swaggered in: "Long live the Great Japanese Imperial Army!" Soldiers, you are all warriors, save me, a coward! ”
The devils were curious: "What's going on?" ”
"That's right, I'm a scholar who can't do anything, called Huyou Shark Bi, a few days ago a monk told me that I will encounter a very difficult problem recently, if I can't solve it, my whole family will have a bloody disaster!"
"What the hell is going on?" Devil chief, a Cao Chang can't wait to ask.
"That's right, I always see the impossible now, and it's always the same thing, that is, I'm covered with mallets (i.e., ginseng) in the manor outside the gates, and all the roots of the mallets grow into the soles of my feet, sucking my blood, oh my god, it's terrible!" Wan Zixiong was startled and pretended to be a ghost, and followed the devil with a shock.
"I see this several times a day now, whether it's eating, sleeping, walking, talking, ah, yo, I see it again, I see, mallet, mallet, blood!"
The devil was infected by Wan Zixiong's tone and demeanor, and his hands and feet were cold.
Wan Zixiong suddenly came back to his senses, "I'm sorry everyone, I seemed to have lost my temper just now!" The monk told me that he wanted me to find 28 vajras, holding vajra pestles, and shouting "Go!" at the same time as I lost my mind. "I will never have to worry about evil spirits invading my body!"
"What is King Kong?" The devils were intrigued.
"It's a young man who has killed people!" Wan Zixiong took out a few gold bars, "This is the vajra." The devils' eyes suddenly glowed golden.
"But we ......" A devil wanted to speak and stopped, but it was the devil Cao Chang who glared at him angrily.
"We are willing to help you, Mr. Huyou," the devil Cao Chang looked sincere, "I will help you find 28 Vajra, but I don't have a vajra!" ”
"I have the vajra, I have, thank you so much, sir, I have to trouble you with one more thing, I want to ask you to be the head of the 28 vajra---- lead the Dharma Protector Vajra, and be in charge of all vajra!"
**There are 22 people in total, where did the 28 King Kong come from? Play with Lao Tzu and see who plays whom? Wan Zixiong's face was overflowing with gratitude.
"I'm a soldier, and it's my duty to keep some ritual utensils for Mr. Huyou!" The devil Cao Changyi Bo Yuntian performed.
"It's not a ritual weapon, it's a magic weapon!" Wan Zixiong corrected him.
"Yes, yes, it's a magic weapon!" The devil Cao Chang should undertake, who can't get along with gold at this time, as long as the gold is in his hand, whether he is a ritual or a magic weapon, what does it matter if the toilet is used?
"I wonder if it's convenient for the sir, tonight? Tomorrow I'm going to see off Mr. Shunroku Hata! "Wan Zixiong has a lot of trouble.
The devil Cao Chang was shocked, it was broken, it seemed that he was going to work in vain! Whoever dares to touch the gold of General Shunroku Hatata's relatives and friends will not have to kill the whole family. But I have already agreed, so I can only continue to act: "No problem, willing to serve you!" Please command! ”
"The monk said midnight works best!" Wan Zixiong was polite.
"I'll arrange it right away!" The devil Cao Chang walked out with a casual look, and blasted out the other soldiers before leaving, not allowing him to interfere with Mr. Huyou's retreat.
"People, no, no, it's King Kong, it's all here!" Devil Cao Chang cautiously reported.
"Thank you, Mr. Juncao!" Wan Zixiong is still polite.
"Lao Tzu is Cao Chang, not Jun Cao!" This kid only dares to slander.
"May I ask Mr. Koyou, who are you and General Toshitoshi ......?" The devil Cao Chang began to find out.
"Oh, Mr. Toshi-hata is my teacher!" Wan Zixiong understated.
"Oh, then you're a military master!" The devil Cao Chang slapped his ass repeatedly.
"No, no, Mr. Shunroku Hata is a military master, I'm not, I'm just his naughty student, and I'm not a soldier, and it's not the military who follows Mr. Shunroku Hata to study, but sports ---- running, well, long-distance running, sprinting, you understand?" Wan Zixiong understated it, I'm afraid it's wrong.
"As a student of the general, you are really low-key!" The devil is long.
"This is the way of life that Mr. Toshi-hata taught me!" Wan Zixiong didn't want to speak, Lao Tzu taught these old devils to keep a low profile, and those who were beaten by fat would be low-key. "Mr. Juncao, please take a look at this time......"
"I'll go right away, go right away!"
According to the request of Mr. "Huyou Shark", 28 "King Kong" walked into the 3rd floor of the turret, each holding a large handful of lit incense, chanting words to 7 gold bars, and they were unconscious for a while.
Wan Zixiong ordered people to open the doors and windows of the turret, ventilate the shooting hole, and transport the Chinese without a crotch cloth to the outside of the turret and throw them on the side of the road; Equipment: mortars, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, rifles, pistols, grenades, bullets, binoculars, maps, ...... Take it all according to the order, the stronghold of the devil's railway garrison is so rich that it is full of oil, and every turret has a heavy machine gun!
What about more than 20 devils? Wan Zixiong hesitated, should he castrate first and then kill, or kill first and then castrate?
……
Wan Zixiong and his entourage went back and forth for a month, and the guards and men of the company buried 12 mortars, 7 infantry guns, 29 heavy machine guns, 38 light machine guns, 59 grenadiers, 407 rifles, 87 pistols, 171 grenades, and a number of other ammunition and equipment along the way from Suzhou to Shanghai.
Back at Yangcheng Lake, Wan Zixiong put the list of weapons in front of Li Jiakui, and looked at Li Jiakui with smugness: "I need 7 squads of infantry artillery gunners, 84, 12 squads of mortar gunners, 168, 25 company-platoon-level artillery officers, and 420 heavy machine gunners......"
Li Jiakui took out a stack of forms, stood upright and saluted: "Report to Commander Wan, according to the eastward expansion plan, the training office and teaching team of the General Staff Department have completed the overall selection and training of the artillery battalion according to the scheduled needs, according to one battalion, 5 companies, 18 platoons, 60 squads, including 27 artillery squads, a total of 396 people, including 18 artillery officers at the company and platoon level, and the main gunner, deputy gunner, loader, observer, and ammunition hand can independently operate the Type 92 infantry gun and 75mm mountain artillery and field artillery, and 121 excellent gunners; Mortar training, the training department of the General Staff Department, the teaching team according to the predetermined needs, all infantry squads, guard squads, reconnaissance squads, communications squads, health squads and other combat squad leaders and deputy squad leaders to carry out mortar use training, according to the regimental level 100 combat squads, training 197 excellent mortar gunners, all veterans more than 3 months old can operate mortars together, can be used as loaders, ammunition men in mortar actual combat, a total of more than 1,900 people; All veterans over 3 months old can operate light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and have undergone systematic heavy weapon control, observation, storage, transportation, supply, and cooperation training, totaling more than 2,600 people, including 305 excellent heavy machine gunners, 521 light machine gunners, and 84 grenadier operators. ”
"Okay, Chief of Staff Lai! Your work is very good, I am very satisfied and relieved! Wan Zixiong took out the official authority of the chief officer, played an official tone, and covered up his gaffe of showing off his results.
"Report to the commander, there is a problem with the staff that needs to be reported!" Li Jiakui's face was expressionless.
"Speak!" For the first time, Wan Zixiong solemnly listened to Li Jiakui's report.
"According to the training situation and preparation plan, the Songhu Eastward Advance Force was formed according to the specifications of the reinforced regiment, with 3 infantry battalions, 27 mortars, 27 heavy machine guns, 180 light machine guns, 180 grenadiers, 1,440 rifles, 270 pack horses, and 45 running horses; The regimental artillery battalion needs 18-27 infantry guns or mountain artillery, field artillery, cannons, and howitzers of more than 70mm, and at least 108 pack horses and horses; The special service battalion is equipped with one company each for guard, reconnaissance, and communications, as well as an engineer battalion and a health team......"
"Wait, wait!" Wan Zixiong was dizzy, "Let's rest first and talk slowly!" ”
There was a sudden burst of laughter in the headquarters, and Wan Zixiong was inexplicable.
God is happy, Wan Zixiong, who is often looking for people to be happy: this Li Jiakui was originally a cheerful person, but he was injured in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, causing facial paralysis, and became a cold face, his vocal cords were injured, and his speech hurt, so he was silent; When Wan Zixiong went out on a cruise, a local old Chinese medicine doctor cured Li Jiakui's throat, and with happiness, Li Jiakui took advantage of Wan Zixiong's boasting of the results to put him together: Wan Zixiong is the shopkeeper, I don't know the family background, although the figures reported by Li Jiakui are true, but the inventory gap is very small, and some still have surpluses, just report Wan Zixiong dizzy.
Around the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1939, Wan Zixiong and Li Jiakui became brothers in life and death who could not leave Meng and Meng; Wan Zixiong led troops into the suburbs of Greater Shanghai --------; Zhou Dagou became the general distributor of Shanghai's "Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab"; The first Battle of Changsha began; Shunroku Hatatake's return to China; Nishio Shou created the commander of the Chinese dispatch army; World War II kicked off.
