Chapter 135: Driving Okamura Ningji Crazy (6)
"It's not good, we've been fooled, withdraw quickly, order the troops to retreat, and withdraw from the county seat immediately." Ma Suozi, who had already rushed into the county seat of Jingcheng, shouted with horror on his face, and the Burmese translator beside him had almost been strangled to death. As the vanguard of the entire Burmese army, Ma Suozi commanded 500 Burmese soldiers, and he thought that Jingcheng County was a difficult bone to gnaw, but he did not expect that the Burmese soldiers under his command would only charge into the county. But looking at the empty county town, Ma Suozi's heart suddenly jumped wildly for no reason, and a voice in his head reminded him that this was a trap set by the Japanese, and he had fallen into a trap.
Ma Suozi, who had come back to his senses, retreated back the way he came with the more than 300 Burmese soldiers who had been hastily assembled, and those who had already run away for some possessions could only ask God for their blessings. The dense rain of bullets had blocked Ma Suozi's retreat, and after being swept by machine guns to dozens of people, Ma Suozi and they were suppressed at a crossroads by the Japanese army's ambush fire, and the more than 300 people he hastily gathered had been broken up into several gangs.
"Go back and find a safe place to wait." With more than 40 people who had been following him, Ma Suozi and his party touched into a house. "Fellow, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we are here to help you fight devils, I am the national army." Looking at the family hiding in the corner of the house, Ma Suozi smiled remarkably. Locked up in the barracks and mingling with these Burmese every day, Ma felt that his ability to speak Chinese was slowly decreasing.
"Blow this wall with a grenade and we'll evacuate along the yard." What he had learned in the training camp finally came in handy, and ignoring the family's frightened expressions, Ma Suozi led the people to the backyard of the house. This area is all residential area, and the street outside the gate has been blocked by Japanese machine gun fire, and the only way is to blow up the adjacent courtyard wall and move to the next street entrance, if the horse lock and their actions can outpace the reaction and arrangement of the Japanese army, they can get out of here alive.
There was a "boom" explosion, and as a cloud of smoke slowly rose up, the wall between the two courtyards had been blown down. "Go, go, go, don't look at it, blow up the wall over there." As if he had seen the hope of life, Ma Suozi returned to his original fierceness in the national army, and the Burmese soldiers who followed him did not dare to say more, but quickly climbed over the collapsed courtyard wall and entered the backyard of another family according to Ma Suozi's order. "Boom" Another wall was blown down, and before the smoke cleared, the Burmese soldiers carrying grenades ran to the next brick wall.
"Damn, I finally came out alive, set up the machine gun for Lao Tzu, it's time for us to clean up the little devil." In the distance, you can already see the hill outside the county, and the horse lock stopped, and their current position is close to the edge of the county, which is full of gunfire and explosions, it is the scattered Burmese soldiers who are exchanging fire with the Japanese army. Like the other Nationalist officers in the Burmese army, Ma was released from a military prison and had signed documents before joining the Burmese army, and they could only be freed after the liberation of Shandong according to the Thunder's battle plan.
After fighting in Shandong, there are other battles, those who are willing to stay in the army and continue to serve will be promoted according to the promotion standards of the national army, and those who are unwilling can go home immediately, but those who go home will have no chance with the army from then on, and can only live a dull life as a civilian. Ma Suozi is a single, his parents died early, he left the army, he didn't know what else he could do, and Ma Suozi, who wanted to turn things around and climb up, would not give up any opportunity to kill devils and accumulate military merits, so he planned to fight the pursuing Japanese army here.
The Japanese soldiers who chased them all the way were able to have two squads, but fortunately they only had light machine guns and grenadiers, and Ma Suozi did not find out that the Japanese were chasing him with mortars. Most of the soldiers on the other side could not speak Chinese, but they had lived in China for several months and could understand simple Chinese instructions, so after Ma Suozi ordered the machine gun to be erected, the two light machine guns that had not been lost all the way were quickly erected, and the other Burmese soldiers were also ready to shoot as required.
The sound of hurried footsteps is getting closer and closer, and Ma Suozi's hand holding the gun has begun to sweat, this is not that he is afraid, Ma Suozi must sweat in his palms every time he fights, and the more he sweats, the more he can fight, which is known to everyone in the original national army. "Fire" can already clearly see the faces of the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, Ma Suozi then ordered to fire, I have to say that the trained Burmese soldiers are different, the two sides are only more than 20 meters apart, but not a single Burmese soldier because of nervousness appeared to go off and affect the battle.
The two light machine guns under Ma Suozi opened fire first, and the Japanese troops who pursued them did not expect that the opponent who was defeated would have the courage to fight with them, and they were swept by the barrage to more than a dozen by surprise. "Grenades, throw grenades." Ma Suozi threw a grenade himself, and then shouted at the Burmese soldier beside him, desperately gesturing to throw the grenade.
Just when the Japanese soldiers were happy to be glad that the smoke was blocking the view of the opposing machine gunners, dozens of grenades were rising from the side of the horse chain. "Hmm" The Japanese second lieutenant who led the pursuit covered his head and screamed miserably, and under his feet was a bloodstained grenade whirling around, and this unlucky Japanese second lieutenant was actually smashed in the head by a grenade thrown by the other party.
"Nani?" Looking at the grenade that was rolling under his feet, the Japanese second lieutenant covering his head was dumbfounded, and when he looked up again, dozens of black dots were falling through the smoke overhead. "Boom", "Boom", "Boom" The whole street intersection sounded, dozens of grenades exploded enough to sweep across the street, the stone walls on both sides of the street became the biggest accomplice, scattered shrapnel hit the wall and then flipped over, and then these shrapnel that changed the angle pierced into the body of the Japanese soldiers, and a series of explosions with no distinction and no dead ends turned the entire street into a slaughterhouse.
"Rush over, take all the weapons and ammunition." Ma Suozi dared to say that he was the second in the world, but he did not dare to say that he was the first in the world, not only did the smoke clear, but Ma Suozi rushed over with dozens of strong Burmese soldiers. Light machine guns and grenadiers are important, and then grenades and bullets, Ma Suozi, who easily harvested two light machine guns and three grenadiers, smiled from ear to ear, and retreated outside the county with his men full of bullets.
Only less than 30% of the 500 Burmese soldiers were able to get out of the county alive in the end, but Song Shi, who commanded the battle, didn't care very much, as the commander of the Burmese army specially selected by Chiang Kai-shek to command this Burmese army, as long as he could complete the task of attracting the attention of Okamura Ningji's troops, those death row officers and 200,000 Burmese people could be abandoned, which naturally included his own Song Shi's own life. Song Shi, whose whole family died in the hands of the Japanese army, didn't want to live for a long time, and this time he led the troops from Yangquan into Hebei is a good opportunity to take revenge.
"Inform the troops on the left flank to continue to advance, be sure to take Jingcheng County before dark, how to fight is their business, the command will not intervene, ask people to give ammunition and ammunition, and my dinner will be eaten in Jingcheng County." Song Shi showed a smile on his cold face, didn't Okamura Ningji just want to use Jingcheng County as bait to lure himself into being fooled, that's good, then Lao Tzu will be fooled by you, when you are busy surrounding Lao Tzu, I believe that the brothers of the national army who have moved in Shandong will be very happy.
Okamura Ningji's defenders in the county town of Jingcheng were only a Japanese squadron and a few hundred Imperial Cooperative troops, and Song Shi's left wing troops were 50,000 people. "Search for civilians in the county, let them immediately move to Xinzhuang and Jiazhuang, and order the troops to build a perimeter defense line to guard against the Japanese counterattack." Song Shi, who hinted that he had dinner in the county town, was in a good mood, and even after receiving the information that Okamura Ningji had hidden troops in Cangyan Mountain, Song Shi still had a smile on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we all came to this unit voluntarily, and the chairman of the committee once sent me an edict, saying that you are all pillars of the party-state, and since you are pillars, you should have the appearance of pillars." Song Shi's operational headquarters was full of officers of the national army, large and small, and it was time to uncover the mystery, and Song Shi did not hide it and directly revealed it all. "The code name of our eastward movement this time is Jing Ke, which means that the strong man will never return, but we are not the assassin Jing Ke, but here to act as a bait, I have received information that Okamura Ningji is coming along Xiulin Town with 50,000 elite Japanese troops hiding in Cangyan Mountain."
Song Shi's words made the entire command department chaotic like a hot oil pot with water, some were dumbfounded like fools, some were disdainful and only smoking, and some were hysterical and scolding. Song Shi looked at the reaction of the officers coldly, slowly pulled out the pistol on his waist and slapped it on the table, and said sharply, "This is the pistol sent by the chairman before departure. ”
"The chairman of the committee has an edict, our task is only to be bait and not to send them to death, after this battle is over, all the officers will be promoted to one level, but if anyone shakes the morale of the army, talk to my pistol." None of the people present were stupid, look at the killing intent in Song Shi's eyes, and then look at the loaded pistol on the table, no one rushed to find death.
