Chapter 327: Siege and annihilation in the north of the city
The Japanese army was defeated like a mountain, and a squadron leader ran to Aso Dairo who was still outside the garrison headquarters compound in a panic, and said: "Your Excellency, the battle situation is not good, the Chinese army has a large number of troops and strong firepower!" We can't resist it, the losses are very heavy, you better retreat quickly! ”
"Yaga!" Aso raised his right hand angrily, but in the end he still did not fight, because he had already seen his soldiers being driven by the Shina army like ducks.
Without the slightest hesitation, Aso snorted coldly, turned around and left with dozens of guards around him.
At the same time, the Japanese troops at the east and west gates were also attacked by the first battalion of detour troops and the onslaught of the second battalion of siege troops, and they were forced to withdraw along the city head in the direction of the north gate under pressure.
The 2nd Battalion of Siege Force and the 1st Battalion of Roundabout Troops seized the east and west gates, and then divided into three routes, one along the head of the city, all the way along the street into the city, and the other did not enter the city, but went directly along the outside of the city wall towards the north gate.
All of them were proceeding in an orderly manner according to Qiao Youhua's predetermined battle plan.
The main forces of the 1st battalion and the reconnaissance company in the city chased and fought fiercely, defeating the remnants of the devils and driving them out of the city.
Taking advantage of the situation, he captured the Japanese garrison headquarters and continued the pursuit.
Before the devils who retreated along the city from the east and west directions could leave the city, they were just blocked by the main attacking force led by Jiang Haidong and Liu Jianhua.
The main force of the second battalion and the roundabout troops of the first battalion took advantage of the situation to kill, and a volley of fierce fire annihilated these two dozens of devils on the head of the city.
Most of the troops of the 1st and 2nd Battalions were united, and the reconnaissance company took the lead and rushed out of the city.
On the outskirts of the northern part of the city, Aso Dairo carried his adjutant sword and led about three or four hundred remnants of the defeated army all the way, but when they had just escaped about a mile or so, gunfire suddenly rang out in the dry ditches in the pitch-black sorghum fields on both sides of the road.
The dense rain of bullets turned into hot and dazzling tongues of fire that erupted, forming a dense network of intersecting firepower, and Aso Dairo, who was walking in front, and dozens of guards behind him bore the brunt.
was the first to be beaten into a hornet's nest, and fell down with an unwilling face.
To the death, the old devil Aso Daro couldn't believe that the cunning Shina army had also set up an ambush in the north of the city, and he, the commander of the Luquan garrison, would die in battle if he didn't survive a day in office.
In fact, Aso Dalang interpreted two things with practical actions, the first is not to pretend to be forced in everything, if it weren't for his bullishness and self-righteousness not to take the Dragon Tooth Task Force of Feiyunling in his eyes, and rashly lead the team to attack, he would not have met Guo Meng.
The second thing is that if you don't do it, you won't die! If he hadn't been greedy for merit and rushed to pursue Guo Meng and Chen Bing, he would not have attracted Qiao Youhua's anger, and he might be able to stay in Luquan for a while.
After all, Qiao Youhua originally didn't plan to move Luquan County in a short period of time, and he wanted a period of peace more than the Japanese, so naturally he would not take the initiative to break this temporary calm pattern.
Instead, they will do their best to recruit new soldiers, expand their troops, and accumulate strength.
In a certain way, Aso's behavior of pretending to be dead also caused a lot of trouble to Qiao Youhua, that is, at least it delayed Qiao Youhua's recruitment expansion plan.
There was no suspense in the next battle, there were ambushes in front, chasing soldiers in the back, and on the road north of the city, which was not too wide, the remaining more than 300 devil remnants were beaten into a bloody hole in Aso Dairo.
Already headless flies, in the crowd and chaos, they were shot one by one by the Dragon's Tooth Task Force that surrounded them on all sides.
From the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, the news of the attack on Luquan County did not leak out, because the telephone lines in Luquan County were not connected, and there was no radio station.
As for the communication soldier sent by Aso Dalang before, not long after he left the city, he was shot by Wu Ming, who led the three battalions to set up an ambush, and fell down from the war horse, and then the body was dragged into the ditch next to it by several officers and soldiers of the third battalion, and the war horse and the weapons carried on the body became the trophies of the three battalions.
As a result, Qiao Youhua's careful arrangement did not come in handy, and the blocking troops of Erdaogouzi were completely busy in vain, while the small forces led by Sun Dahai, Zhou Dasheng, and Zhao Youde caused great panic to the devils in Shimen.
After receiving a request for help from some strongholds along the Shimen section of the Zhengtai Railway, Wuchun Watanabe, the current commander of the Shimen garrison, immediately sent troops to reinforce him overnight in a panic.
Sun Dahai and the others were originally from guerrillas, and they were very skilled in mastering guerrilla tactics, and they didn't need Qiao Youhua to hand them over at all.
As soon as the devil's reinforcements arrived, they turned around and retreated, giving full play to the essence of guerrilla warfare, the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, and the enemy retreats and we advance!
During the period when Qiao Youhua attacked Luquan County, they turned the world around Shimen upside down with only three platoons of troops, and the garrison brigade of Wuchun Watanabe was exhausted and unbearable.
Not to mention that he didn't receive a request for help from Luquan County, even if he did, he might not be able to send effective reinforcements to reinforce Luquan.
After all, although Sun Dahai and his number are not many, compared to the past, their equipment is all Japanese-style equipment, which is not inferior to the Japanese army, and there is plenty of ammunition.
made Sun Dahai and them fight guerrilla warfare, which was more handy.
……
"Regiment commander, the battlefield has been cleaned up, and the city of Luquan County has also been carefully searched to the side, to make sure that there are no fish that have slipped through the net, we have killed a total of nine hundred and thirteen devils in this battle, all of them were killed, and there was not a single prisoner!
The captured weapons and ammunition are enough to make up for our consumption in this battle, and there is still a large surplus, all in all, we have earned this battle! Liu Jianhua, who was in charge of leading the team to clean up the battlefield, gasped and ran over to report to Qiao Youhua, who was smoking.
"Do we have many casualties?" Qiao Youhua took a puff of his cigarette.
"The casualties are okay, according to preliminary statistics, there are one hundred and nine wounded soldiers in the whole regiment, of which twenty-three are seriously wounded, and the rest are lightly wounded and are not in the way. Thirty-two were killed, after all, this was a strong attack, and in the fierce battle between the city and the streets of the city, casualties were inevitable!
With such an exchange ratio, we have already won a big victory! Liu Jianhua said.
Qiao Youhua was silent, with the current equipment level of his troops and the situation that had just been reorganized, it was not bad to play such a battle loss ratio.
In the future, if we can build our own arsenal, establish our own weapons production lines, and improve them to produce some more advanced weapons, then we should greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our troops.
Qiao Youhua was thinking about it in a far-sighted way, and Liu Xiaohai, the deputy commander of the reconnaissance company, ran over and saluted and reported: "Regiment commander, what should I do with the corpses of more than 900 devils?" It takes a lot of effort to dig a pit. ”
Qiao Youhua didn't think about it, and said coldly: "Take off all the military uniforms and boots on the devil's body, and throw them all to Lao Tzu to feed wild dogs and wild wolves in mass graves outside the city!" ”
