Chapter 226: The Assault on Jinzhong City (7)
"Rush... Da ...... "Three machine guns suddenly appeared behind the devils, and dense fire hit their backs. At the same time, the fighters who climbed onto the roof also quickly threw grenades at the group of devils.
The sound of machine guns and the explosion of grenades immediately knocked the last squad of the army to the ground. Similarly, there was an attack in the back, and the entire squadron of the Japanese army began to go into disarray.
Just as the army was preparing to counterattack to the rear, the commander of the first battalion quickly seized the opportunity and ordered the mortars behind him to fire.
In front there are troops to block the attack, and behind there is dense fire to block the circuit, grenades and shells constantly falling from the sky! Immediately, the soldiers tasted the taste of being killed, and under the blow of artillery fire, the soldiers began to consume their strength little by little.
The dying and struggling little devil was not willing to be eliminated like this, so in the artillery fire, one by one the death squads launched a final charge against the soldiers, but this can only speed up the time for them to be completely annihilated, and the rest is only a matter of time before the squadron is destroyed.
Let's talk about the special operations brigade that is rapidly advancing towards the army's baggage warehouse! Under the leadership of the members of the county brigade, along the way, everyone tried to avoid the large number of troops of the army, eliminated sporadic enemies, and quickly interspersed with the army's baggage warehouse.
"Captain Liu, it's almost there. The first few large warehouses are there, there are searchlights at the door of the warehouses, we can't go any further, and if we go any further, we will be discovered by the defenders. The member of the county brigade who led the team pointed to the front and said.
"Thank you, comrade! We'll take care of the rest. The leader of the first squadron immediately sent someone to reconnoiter the garrison strength and defense of the warehouse. Second Squadron Leader, you take a few people to the city to find a few sets of devil uniforms, and the others are hidden and on standby. ”
"Yes..."The two quickly disappeared from everyone's view with their troops. After a while, the leader of the first squadron grabbed two tightly tied security soldiers and came to Liu Xiaogang.
"Captain, it's all clear, this is an officer of the defenders, I guess he's going to go out to play, so I brought it back. He knew the situation in a little more detail. ”
"The Eighth Route Army spares my life, I have an eighty-year-old mother above, and I have below..."
"Don't bother, tell us the situation of the warehouse defenders in detail, I will let you go, our Eighth Route Army is what we say, and we will definitely not embarrass you!" Liu Xiaogang interrupted his nonsense.
"Yes, Commander of the Eighth Route Army, I must tell you everything I know, the warehouse defenders are the troops of the third battalion of the Security Corps, and I am a platoon commander. We had a company of defenders at the entrance to the warehouse, and the remaining two companies patrolled around the warehouse in squads. Sir, that's all I know, so let me go! ”
Seeing that the leader of the first squadron nodded, Liu Xiaogang waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take him down. At this moment, the leader of the second squadron also came back with more than a dozen sets of military uniforms.
"The situation is already clear, the defenders are a security barracks, and there are no devils. 15 soldiers with good language were selected from the whole team, changed into military uniforms and followed me, and went to clean up a company at the door of the warehouse, and strive for all the prisoners. The rest of the people, led by their respective squadron leaders, deal with the patrols around them, preferably without killing. Start preparing now, and split up in five minutes. ”
On the dark street, a group of devil soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield and were running towards the warehouse. The second lieutenant officer who took the lead was none other than Liu Xiaogang, the captain of the special operations brigade.
"Stop, this is a military stronghold..."Suddenly, the light of a flashlight shone into the marching procession!
"Yaga! Your conscience is greatly bad..."Liu Xiaogang unceremoniously interrupted the words of the officer of the security army opposite.
"Ah! It's Taijun, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope Taijun will forgive me, I am the commander of the third battalion of the security army, and I was ordered to stick to the warehouse! Hearing this, the battalion commander of the garrison couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly ran to Liu Xiaogang and said flatteringly.
Hearing the other party say that he was the battalion commander, Liu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel excited! It really didn't take much effort to get it. Just catch this battalion commander, and the rest will be much easier.
"Yo Xi! We are blocking the Eighth Route Army entering the city on the front line, but the consumption is too great, mine is here to move ammunition! Liu Xiaogang said with a smile. And just as Liu Hua was speaking, the enemy battalion commander had successfully brought the squad into the interior of the defensive position.
"Yo system, your defense is very good...."Liu Xiaogang patted the enemy battalion commander on the shoulder. And just as Liu Xiaogang spoke, the fighters had already unconsciously stood behind several commanders and machine gunners, ready to attack.
Liu Xiaogang saw that the soldier was ready, quietly took out a pistol, put it on the waist of the enemy battalion commander, and quickly wrapped his other hand around his neck.
"Command your men to lay down their arms at once! Otherwise, it will kill your dog," Liu Xiaogang whispered into his ear.
"Ah! Taijun, don't joke with me. ”
"Hehe, who's kidding you! Comrades, do it. ”
After receiving the order, more than a dozen fighters immediately attacked, and surrendered several officers' guns, and at the same time, the machine guns in the hands of the three machine gunners were also given down by the soldiers. The three fighters got their machine guns and immediately stood on top of the bunker, loaded their bullets, condescendingly, and pointed their guns at the security soldiers lying in the bunker.
"Brothers of the security army, we are the Eighth Route Army, you have been surrounded, surrender immediately! Don't give your life to the devil! As he spoke, the muzzle of the gun in Liu Xiaogang's hand rubbed the battalion commander's waist fiercely. The commander of the enemy battalion was clever for a while, and immediately understood.
"Brothers, they all listen to the Eighth Route Army, the devils in the county town are finished, we don't need to sell them anymore, hurry, put down their guns and listen to the command of the Eighth Route Army."
With the words of their own battalion commander, those soldiers who were hesitating immediately knelt on the ground and surrendered! At this moment, the other three squadrons also came to report with prisoners.
"Captain, I just ran a company commander here and ran towards the devil headquarters. I reckon the devils now know that the warehouse is under attack, and we need to hurry up and prepare for defense in case the devils fight back. The second squadron leader walked up to Liu Xiaogang and said embarrassedly.
"You, you, you're always frizzy in doing things, look at how I clean you up after the battle! Go, take your team members to take care of the prisoners, and the others will follow me into the warehouse to move weapons, there is such a big warehouse behind me, and we will be relieved today. Liu Xiaogang ordered loudly.
As a result, a heavy machine gun and a box of ammunition were to be moved out by the soldiers and placed on the position. Even the captured commander of the enemy battalion felt a chill when he saw the brand-new heavy machine guns, and began to worry about the security forces that came to counterattack.
Sure enough, just as the fighters were ready, the figure of the enemy began to appear at the street entrance. Liu Xiaogang raised the binoculars, and there was about a squad of troops at the front, lined up in a scattered attack formation. Behind the army was a dense security army, probably several hundred people.
"Order the soldiers, the devils are close and fight again, eliminate the devils in front, and let those security forces go, after all, they are all Chinese." If you can, try not to kill people. ”
Slowly, the devils got deeper and deeper, and finally, the cabinet entered the range of the soldiers.
The two machine guns next to Liu Xiaogang rang out, and immediately afterward, nearly ten heavy machine guns all opened fire, and the impermeable bullets hit the street where the enemy troops were. The soldiers at the forefront fell one after another, while the security forces behind them surprised the soldiers. Seeing the devils who kept falling in front of me, I listened to the dense machine-gun strafing sound. Everyone was so frightened that they ran away, dropped their guns, and hid in the houses next to them! Some soldiers were even frightened and lay on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the counteroffensive team of several hundred people disappeared, and only a few dozen devils were slowly wiped out by the soldiers.
Suddenly, a loud charge sounded behind the devil! Countless Eighth Route Army poured into the streets, and it turned out that the soldiers of the Second Regiment who had entered the city had already attacked... Another hour has passed! The gunfire in the city slowly thinned out, and under the front and rear fire of the special operations brigade and a battalion of the second regiment, the enemy who went to the rescue warehouse was completely wiped out. Under the threat of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, the commander of the security corps killed the remaining dozens of devils, all surrendered, and the entire battle ended smoothly.
"Report to the commander. Our army has completely occupied the county seat, and the material warehouse of the army has been completely captured by the special operations brigade. Is it possible to let the militia into the city to carry supplies? Counselor Wang said excitedly.
"Okay, there's still an hour before zero morning, it's good! Send a report to Captain Li of the county brigade, ask him to take the villagers into the city, move the supplies, tell him to bring all the supplies from the mountains to the east into the stronghold, and also let them participate in the transportation of a captured security corps. We will have a regiment of soldiers along the way to protect, and this task will be handed over to the second regiment, which has suffered a lot of casualties in this storm, and it is time for them to rest. ”
"Yes, Commander!" After speaking, Staff Officer Wang turned around and went to send a telegram.
In this way, Captain Li, who received the telegram, immediately led the villagers out of the hidden woods. Walk towards the county seat. Due to the need to go into the mountains, everyone gave up the wheelbarrow and began to carry the materials in the warehouse on the shoulders of people.
It was at this time that the unexpected happened. The 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment on guard in the direction of the base spotted the Sakai Brigade on a rapid march.
The reason why Major General Sakai retreated so quickly was because he had no food and grass for his own mistakes, and now almost every soldier has no experience of continuing to fight. So he wanted to withdraw to the county seat as soon as possible to prevent him from encountering the Eighth Route Army again.
So, after receiving the order to retreat, the Sakai Brigade, which had no weapon to look for, almost ran back to the base area, and it took him only one day to march for two days.
