Chapter 453: The Battle of Longjiang (3)
In order to block the pace of the Japanese attack, the 3rd Division of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, under the leadership of division commander Zhou ****, fought against the 8th Brigade and the 33rd Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army in the areas of Yangjiadian, Keshan, and Baiquan. In order to bring the Japanese into a combat position, the soldiers of the 3rd Division fought and retreated, and the Japanese placed the heavy weapons they carried in the rear in order to catch up with our troops.
In order to cooperate with the main force in the operation, Li Zhaolin of the Fifth Army Sub-district learned that the Japanese army mobilized part of the Japanese army and supplies from Qiqihar, divided into three routes by more than 30 vehicles, and went north along the highway through Fufu County, Yi'an County, and Baiquan to reinforce the Japanese troops fighting on the front line. As soon as he received the information, Li Zhaolin knew that he must annihilate this convoy cleanly and resolutely cut off the Japanese army's strength and supply so as to create conditions for the main force to win victory. When Li Zhaolin sent the combat mission to each regiment, the mood of the soldiers was extremely high, and they prepared guns and ammunition one after another, eager to eliminate the devil immediately.
At about 8 o'clock in the morning of November 21, 1940, 14 Japanese transport vehicles slowly drove towards the ambush circle of the 103rd Regiment of the Fifth Army Division on the winding and rugged mountain road.
"Report to the head of the regiment, the political commissar, the little devil's convoy is about to arrive." The platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon said sweating profusely.
"Be specific. What's going on? Political Commissar Feng Zhigang asked.
"A large convoy of devils five miles ahead of us is driving this way, with a total of more than a dozen cars loaded with all kinds of supplies and ammunition, starting with two three-wheeled motorcycles. The force serving as the escort was about a squadron, and it was ten minutes before it came. ”
"Hmm. More than a dozen cars. The strength of a squadron, can our regiment eat it? ”
"Of course you can eat it. I don't eat the fat in my hand, and let them run! ”
"But Lao Geng, what if this is a trap set up for us by the little devil and let us drill into it?"
"What to do? Cold? Our mission this time is to cooperate with the main force to fight, we were sent here to watch this, we can't let the little devil send in a bullet and a grain of rice, even if it is a trick of the little devil, then we have to drill into it, what can we say we can't let them pass. ”
"Old Geng, you're right. But I think we should report this to the commander and ask him what he thinks. ”
"Wait for the commander's call back and the daylilies are cold, since they are here, don't go, it just so happens that our troops have just been expanded, and the weapons and bullets are not sufficient, so we can't let them slip away from here, we need to send a troop to detour to the back of the convoy to block their retreat, a battalion commander. This task will be handed over to your battalion, whether there is confidence or not. Geng Dianjun asked the battalion commander beside him.
"Please rest assured that our first battalion will definitely complete its task." The commander of the first battalion replied with an oath.
"Alright, go and set it up! Don't be too late. Geng Dianjun ordered.
"Yes." The commander of the first battalion turned and walked towards the first battalion.
Really. The situation was the same as what the reconnaissance platoon commander said, and within a few minutes of the various units rushing to the designated position, a burst of machine-gun fire reached everyone's ears. Regiment commander Geng Dianjun picked up the binoculars. I saw that the two motorcycles at the head of the Japanese army were each carrying a light machine gun with crooked handles, and the machine gunner was sitting in the saddle of the car to strafe the mountain beams on both sides of the road. Using the most old-fashioned firepower reconnaissance to test whether there is an enemy situation on the mountain beams on both sides of the road.
I saw that there was no movement on the ridges on both sides of the road. The devil seems to be relieved. Driving the car. Swaggering into the mountains.
300m, 200m, 100m...... When he saw that the Japanese convoy had all entered the ambush circle, Geng Dianjun waved his hand. The herald understood the meaning and immediately ran to the back and told the artillery company of the artillery position in the language of the flag to start attacking, and a whistling sound came from the mountain. At this moment, the entire mountainous road, which is less than 200 meters long, turned into a sea of fire. The devil's first three-wheeled motorcycle, undoubtedly, was directly torn to shreds by intensive artillery fire. And then the second three-wheeled motorcycle. The first personnel carrier did not escape this fate.
Under the impact of the strong inertia of the car, knowing that there was a sea of fire in front of them, the Japanese cars and motorcycles still rushed forward in a hurry. That's why it's like this. It was because all this came so suddenly that the Japanese drivers did not have any reaction time at all.
Looking at the pace of the Japanese convoy with binoculars has stopped, "Hit!" The regiment commander Geng Dianjun shouted, and the officers and men of the battalions and companies opened fire with light and heavy firearms, and the sound of gunfire, killing, and grenade explosions suddenly resounded through the valley. The first transport vehicle of the Japanese army was hit by a shell, caught fire and exploded, paralyzed at the intersection, and the car behind was blocked and could not move. Suddenly, the Japanese army was in chaos, and many devils took the opportunity to flee in a hurry. I saw the officers and men of the 103rd Regiment, like arrows off the string, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" jumped out of cover and rushed towards the fleeing enemy at the bottom of the mountain. A burst of fierce assault knocked the devil transport team into a daze and collapsed. Some soldiers who had just joined the Anti-Japanese Federation saw that their squad leader had followed the large army down the hillside, clenched their rifles and rushed down the mountain, and some nearby militia teams followed the troops with red tassel guns and rushed towards the group of devil soldiers.
At this time, the officers and men of the first battalion had already blocked the intersection with wood, so that the Japanese vehicles could not retreat and escape, and when they saw that the intersection was completely sealed, the commander of the first battalion breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest of the things were easy to say. Of course, blocking the valley mouth, the first battalion was not polite, and immediately set up all the light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and grenades to strike at the Japanese troops in the last five cars of the convoy.
In the face of flying bullets and countless grenades, the five cars behind him were not much better than the one in front. Those devils who were attacked and were just about to jump out of the car to fight back, just stretched out a leg, they were hit by a flurry of bullets and hung upside down on the car.
However, there were still more than a dozen old devils with combat experience who dodged the first round of shooting, quickly jumped out of the car and hid under the car, and began to shoot at the first battalion. In the face of the devil's accurate marksmanship, the soldiers with cover were still killed and wounded quickly, and the battalion commander looked at everything in front of him anxiously. Although I was in a hurry, there was nothing I could do. Because the devil is hiding under the car. Light and heavy machine guns in the hands of the fighters simply could not penetrate the thick underbody of the car.
"Battalion commander. The remaining Japanese soldiers must be dealt with quickly, and there are snipers in the crowd of little devils. Now the soldiers have suffered almost a platoon of casualties, and if they are not resolved, the casualties of the soldiers will be even greater, and the marksman's marksmanship is too accurate." The camp instructor ran to the side of the battalion commander and said eagerly.
"What is a sharpshooter, can you find it?"
"I can't find it, I don't know if he hid in that corner and put a black gun on us, if we delay a little longer, we won't have a company. Lao Jin, do you want to...""Bang! ”
A stream of blood spurted into the face of the first battalion commander Jin Jinzhong, the first battalion commander Jin Jinzhong looked at the instructor who was still talking to him just now, and at this time he was out of breath and fell next to him, his eyes were red and shouted: "Lao Liu, Lao Liu." ”
"Little devil, I **** the ancestors of my family for eighteen generations." After speaking, Jin Jinzhong picked up a Type 38 rifle and pointed it at the Japanese soldiers who relied on the bottom of the car as cover to resist, "Bang!" "Several shots killed several Japanese soldiers one after another.
"Bang!" "Battalion commander be careful." Kim Jin-jung's guard pounced on him with a tiger pounce.
"Little Dragon." "Bang bang!" The familiar sound of gunfire reminded him again, and Kim Jinzhong saw several heavy machine gunners in the unit being shot in the head. "Grenadier, grenadier". Jin Jinzhong shouted loudly behind him.
Each infantry company of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army was equipped with a grenadier squad and six grenadier canisters in a squad. You know, at many times. All six grenadiers played a very important role.
"Battalion commander, is there any task. Give the order! "Soon. The squad leader of the grenadier squad led a dozen fighters behind him to drill out of the woods carrying grenadiers and ammunition, and asked excitedly.
"Zhang San, I'll give you half a minute to blow up those little devils for me. I'm going to let them all die, die. Jin Jinzhong ordered loudly.
"Yes, battalion commander. Guaranteed completion of the task. After speaking, Xiang Hongsheng, the leader of the grenadier squad, took the soldiers of his squad and began to aim on the spot.
"Kojima-kun. You see that the people of China are too frightened by your miraculous marksmanship to show their heads, and I judge that your shot just killed the commander of the people of China. Otherwise, the sharpshooter of the Shina man could not have been so excited. ”
"Don't be so optimistic about Toyoda-kun, we don't have much time now, if we don't rush out, the troops of the Shina people will chop us into minced meat, do you see that there are still our soldiers around?"
"Don't be so pessimistic about Xiao Daojun, Longshanjun is leading the soldiers to counterattack that group of people, I think there will be results soon."
"Lieutenant Toyoda, Squadron Leader Longshan has instructed you to make sure that you must open a breakthrough for the convoy within five minutes." A herald ran over and said.
"Yo Xi! You drop back and tell Your Excellency Longshan that I will definitely complete the task. ”
"Hey!"
"All Talk". A few slight noises reached Toyota's ears, he knew that it was the sound of a grenadier, and before he could run out of the bottom of the car, in a blink of an eye, he remembered several violent explosions in his ears, including his hidden vehicle, and two ammunition trucks were affected, and the detonated ammunition tore the entire car to shreds at once, as for the devil hiding under the car, he didn't know where it was blown up, and the Japanese soldiers who resisted around him were also plugged by stray bullets.
No matter how stubborn the Japanese army resisted, in the end it was all wiped out by the 103rd Regiment several times that of the Japanese army, Geng Dianjun ordered the battalions to clean up the battlefield, a recruit was cleaning the battlefield, but he didn't expect that a Japanese devil lying on the ground pretending to be dead suddenly got up and brandished a bayonet and stabbed him, saying that it was too late and that was fast, he dodged with a wit, and then hit the devil in the face with a heavy punch. Seeing that the devil was knocked to the ground, the recruit immediately shot again, and this time the devil was really dead.
"Lao Geng, our ambush battle this time was fought cleanly, except for the three that were blown up by our shelling before, the remaining eleven cars have all become our trophies. This time, we made a fortune, and in half an hour, we wiped out more than 100 people from a squadron of the Japanese army, and captured eight grenadiers, four light machine guns, and dozens of rifles. Political Commissar Feng Zhigang said with a smile.
"What about the casualties of the troops?"
"The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th battalions did not suffer any losses except for 14 minor wounds, but the 1st battalion responsible for blocking the valley mouth suffered heavy losses, with nearly a company killed and wounded, and the instructors were also sacrificed."
"How can there be such heavy casualties, aren't the main forces of the devils all fighting with us? When did you run to the back? ”
"The large army of devils did not run to the back, but there were snipers in this team of devils, which caught our troops by surprise."
"Sniper, hurry up and let Jinzhong lead the first battalion back to rest, and the remaining battalions and companies quickly clean up the battlefield, burn the cars, and transfer positions." Geng Dianjun was not surprised to hear the sniper, a large part of the sacrifices of the anti-United Nations fighters in the previous years were caused by the snipers of the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Two gunshots rang out from inside the battlefield.
"What's the situation?" Geng Dianjun took out his box gun and asked defensively.
"Regiment commander, the regiment commander is not good, the first battalion commander is crazy and wants to shoot and kill." An anti-union soldier ran and shouted.
"Kill whom?"
"Japanese woman."
"Japanese woman? Where did we come from Japanese women here? ”
"The regiment commander found it in the car, and just when the troops were cleaning up the trophies, he suddenly found two Japanese women in kimonos cowering in a tarpaulin wagon, about 20 years old, with sallow faces and dull eyes, and it seemed that both of them were injured. The two of them were holding a zippered canvas bag in their hands, and their whole bodies were trembling, and our squad leader asked the two Japanese women to get out of the car quickly. But instead of getting down, they hugged each other tighter. Our squad leader ordered us to drag them out of the car. I saw that the two of them were struggling desperately, refusing to come down. At this time, the commander of the first battalion came over and shot at the two female devils with a submachine gun. ”
"Killed?" Feng Zhigang asked.
"No, it's missed, and now the first battalion commander is tearing up with our battalion commander! Check it out! ”
"Comrade Kim Jin-jung, how did you shoot at the prisoners?" Geng Dianjun rushed over and shouted.
"They don't get out of the car, this is to resist to the end, it is our enemy, not a prisoner." Kim Jin-jung pleaded.
"If you don't get out of the car, you can't shoot, we have a policy for the Anti-United Nations." Seeing this, political commissar Feng Zhigang hurriedly walked over to stop it.
"If they are allowed to kill us, we are not allowed to kill them? I'm going to shoot today. Jin Jinzhong, whose face was full of anger and his eyes were red, raised the gun again. said that it was too late, it was too fast, Feng Zhigang rushed forward with an arrow, snatched the gun from Jin Jinzhong's hand, unloaded the magazine, threw it out vigorously, and threw the empty gun to Jin Jinzhong.
At this time, Feng Zhigang and several soldiers jumped into the car, trying to lift down the two dejected Japanese women and bandage their wounds, but they grabbed the guardrail of the car tightly with both hands and refused to get out of the car. The fighters all knew that due to the language barrier, the two Japanese women misunderstood the friendliness of the Anti-Japanese Union. In order to overcome the language barrier, Feng Zhigang stepped forward and talked to the two women in Japanese and gestures, and finally the two finally let down their guard and let the stretcher team carry them away. Seeing this, Jin Jinzhong didn't pick up the magazine in a rage, and left in a huff. (To be continued.) )
