Chapter 222: The Assault on Jinzhong City Against Encirclement and Suppression (3)

"Bang..."A sharp gunshot rang out! A devil who was hiding in the trunk of the car, ready to shoot back, fell under the sniper's gun. Immediately after, two more gunshots rang out, and a devil was hit by two bullets at the same time, and his entire head was almost shattered and fell in a pool of blood. In this way, in less than two minutes, under the precise blow of the sniper, the battlefield fell into silence. The fighters rushed out of the woods where they were hiding and began to clean up the battlefield.

"Squadron Leader! There are also two cars that can be driven, which is a pass for the devil to go to Jinzhong to extract supplies. The deputy squadron leader took out a piece of paper full of Chinese texts and said.

"Enough! Two cars are enough. Order all the machine gunners to change into military uniforms? Bring me the second lieutenant's uniform! Change your gear and get ready to go! The squadron leader said as he looked at the pass in his hand.

"Yes, Captain! I'm going to assign the task. After the deputy captain finished speaking, he walked towards the two cars parked on the road!

"Tick..."A car horn sounded to the ears of the 2nd Squadron, which was not far from the checkpoint of the ambush army, "Comrades, prepare for battle!" "Receiving the signal of the first squadron, the commander of the second squadron hurriedly ordered.

I saw two cars with their headlights on, swaggering through the positions of the second squadron, and driving towards the inspection battle not far away! Under the cover of the military uniform and the car, everyone successfully passed the two machine gun positions of the devil.

"Yaga! Stop for inspection. "Suddenly, a ghost soldier stood in the middle of the road, blocking his way!

"Rush over! Comrades, get ready for battle..."The squadron leader said to the driver next to him, and at the same time, picked up a light machine gun that had just been captured, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the devil outside the car window..."Yaga! Stop and get checked, or you'll be shot! Looking at the car that was getting closer and closer, without the slightest slowdown, the devil standing on the road showed a frightened look, raised the rifle in his hand, and several soldiers next to him also noticed that something was wrong and began to be vigilant.

"Comrades, fight..."Seeing what the army seems to have discovered? The squadron leader did not hesitate any longer and shouted loudly, and at the same time, the light machine gun in his hand also spewed tongues of fire at the dormitory of the checkpoint devils.

At this point, the two cars were no longer ordinary cars. The six machine guns in each car are like a moving fortress, constantly spraying a dense burst of bullets! Those devil soldiers who were exposed to the soldiers' field of vision had long been beaten into a hornet's nest! The worst thing was that the devils on the two machine gun positions were swept into pulp directly from the back by the machine guns before they could react.

"Tick-tock..."As the guns of the first squadron rang out, the second squadron also launched a charge. No more machine-gun position threats! The fighters were overwhelmed. Without any casualties, they rushed into the checkpoint of the Japanese army.

At this time, the devils who were exposed to the outside had basically been wiped out by the first squadron! All the remaining ghosts cowered in the barracks and waited for help. You know, fighting this kind of street fighting is the specialty of the special operations brigade! Under the cover of the intensive fire of the two cars, the soldiers slowly touched the side of the devil barracks, and cleared the devil soldiers inside one by one. The whole process ended in less than 15 minutes, and all the soldiers of a squad fell under the guns of the special operations team.

The first checkpoint of the devils was taken by the fighters in this way! As for the second one, Liu Xiaogang made a difficulty! The old way certainly won't work. In the end, the leader of the first squadron who served as an assault came up with a good idea... As the sky gradually brightens! Two cars piled high with sandbags appeared in front of everyone.

It turned out that the leader of the first squadron thought of the dense firepower on the car just now, so the idea of charging with the car came up. Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the soldiers in the car during the charge, a lot of sandbags were piled up! The whole car except for a gap left in the driver's eye and a couple of machine-gun firing holes! Even the top of the trunk is covered with a water-splashed quilt! However, these quilts are all captured by the army, and the soldiers will only feel distressed..."The third squadron followed behind the ironclad car! Ready to go..."The captain looked at the two cars armed to the teeth, and ordered excitedly.

Thereupon! Thus began the first infantry battle in the history of the Reading Force.

Two bulky cars started up, and hundreds of soldiers slowly followed behind the cars.

Finally, half an hour later, the enemy's second inspection battle appeared in everyone's field of vision. The leader of the first squadron, who served as an assault, quickly raised the telescope in his hand and looked through the shooting hole.

At this time, as expected before the war, the devils already knew that the first checkpoint had been attacked and the entire army was destroyed. They were waiting for the Eighth Route Army to block the way with their dangerous terrain and strong fortifications.

When the car drove 200 meters away from the Japanese army, the two machine gun positions of the devil opened fire.

"Haha, I didn't expect our earthen tank to really fight! Order the soldiers to open fire, let the little devils taste the damage of our earth tanks, and continue to move forward, without stopping. The captain of the first squadron shouted loudly as he saw that the bullets of the army were blocked by sandbags.

Immediately, a dozen machine guns from two cars went off. Several times the enemy's firepower, condescending! All of a sudden, the army couldn't lift its head.

"Yaga! When did the Eighth Route Army have armored vehicles! Bastard, what are you doing with your head down, get up and fight back immediately! The squad leader yelled at a machine gunner hiding behind a sandbag.

However, just when the leader of the devil squad was at a loss, the two earthen tanks had advanced to a place less than 50 meters away from the position of the Japanese army, and the hundreds of special combat personnel behind the car had slowly entered the position under the cover of the car!

"Comrades, give me a deadly fight, and let the little devils know how powerful our special operations brigade is." Looking at the position of the army that was hit by bullets, the leader of the first squadron shouted excitedly.

Finally! Two cars rushed to the front of the position, and the troops guarding the position were forced to leave dozens of corpses and flee back to the barracks in disarray, wanting to continue to resist with the help of the barracks! But he didn't know that his opponent was not an ordinary Eighth Route Army, but a well-trained special operations brigade.

"Comrades, Chong! Destroy the remaining devils..."The soldiers of the third squadron shouted and rushed into the devil barracks that had become ruins..."Report to the captain, the troops at the two checkpoints have all been wiped out! A total of seven members of our team were killed and 21 wounded. ”

"Well, very good, order the various squadrons to withdraw from the battle, rest for four hours, and then conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the perimeter of Jinzhong in small squadrons."

"Yes, Captain!"

"Wait a minute, tell the first squadron to let them hide the two cars, maybe the commander will use them later." Liu Xiaogang stopped the messenger who was about to leave and said.

"Yes, Captain. I'm going to deliver the order. With that, he turned and ran towards the position.

At this time, Liu Hua's temporary headquarters was extremely lively! Because after a night of rapid marching, the 1st and 2nd regiments of the rapid reaction brigade had already come to converge, and the 3rd regiment would only need a few hours to arrive.

"Staff Officer Wang, inform the artillery regiment to assemble immediately! Count the number of shells. Also, hurry up and count the casualties of the regiments. ”

"Staff Officer Zhou, you immediately go to the Special Operations Brigade to find Captain Liu! Find a way to contact the militia organization in a sub-district around the county! I'll be in a hurry then! Liu Hua ordered.

Looking at the two staff officers who left, Liu Hua picked up the information that had just come from the underground party in Jinzhong! Discuss the battle with the two regimental commanders.

"Report to the commander, successfully complete the task, this is the loss of each regiment and the amount of ammunition of the artillery regiment."

"Hmmm! Yes, there are still more than 5,000 people in the three regiments who can participate in the battle, and the artillery has an average of 15 shells per gun, which is enough to shoot Jinzhong. Liu Hua said excitedly.

"Report to the commander..." Liu Hua raised his head, only to see Staff Officer Zhou with two comrades who looked like cadres came to him.

"Who are these two Staff Officers Zhou?"

"Commander! This is Captain Li of the county brigade in Jinzhong City, and this is the political commissar of Luo of the county brigade! Two comrades, this is what I told you about Commander Liu. Staff Officer Zhou introduced.

"Hello chief..."After listening to Staff Officer Zhou's introduction, the two saluted at the same time.

"Okay, everyone. Captain Li, Political Commissar Luo. I brought you here today to do us a favor. I won't say anything politely, which of you will give me a brief introduction to your county brigade? Liu Hua asked.

"Chief, let me introduce you!" Political Commissar Luo said.

"Our county brigade is a battalion-level organization, with four companies under its jurisdiction, with a total of 500 people, but the weapons are very poor, there are only four light machine guns in total, and there are soldiers who will enter a company without weapons..."

"Don't worry about weapons, take down Jinzhong County, and make up for it all!" Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Chief! Are you going to fight Jinzhong? That's great! A large number of armaments and materials have been put in Jinzhong County, and I don't know how much saliva has flowed when I watch the devils move in and out every day! Great..."Captain Lee replied excitedly.

"Captain Li, I understand your feelings! Captain Li, are there any soldiers in the county brigade who are particularly familiar with the inside of the city, when we attack the county seat, we must have comrades who are familiar with the terrain to lead the way. Also, how many militiamen and civilians can you gather in the shortest possible time, let's lay down the county, and the materials inside must be transported! Liu Hua asked.

"Chief, don't worry, the county brigade has a company of soldiers to meet your requirements! Militia? Give me a day and I can mobilize at least 5,000 folks! Captain Li thought for a while and said.

"Good, good, Captain Lee! You go and mobilize, and I will send a radio station to follow you and we will keep in touch at any time! Political Commissar Luo stayed first and had a meeting! The command gave your county brigade other combat missions. Staff Officer Wang informed the cadres above the battalion level to come to the headquarters for a meeting immediately. Liu Hua said excitedly.
