Chapter 483: Surprise Attack on Tang (II)
The two women were so frightened by him that they didn't dare to cry anymore, so they had to come to him again and let him act recklessly, and the room echoed with the last arrogant and unbridled laughter of the big traitor before he died.
Lingshou County is dozens of miles away, and Xinle County is only thirty miles away from Xingtang, so even if he knows that Lingshou County is occupied by the Eighth Route Army of the Dragon Tooth Task Force, this Niu Daring does not think so.
Not only did he not build fortifications according to the instructions of the Japanese, but he often shouted to his subordinates that he would take them to Lingshou to fight the eight roads one day.
When Qiao Youhua arrived at Lingshou County, it was less than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the distance of fifty miles was not far at all for the soldiers of the first battalion, and it only took them more than three hours to arrive at Xingtang, which was still to launch a surprise attack at night, and there was no full-speed march.
When Qiao Youhua, Jiang Haidong and others arrived with the troops, Niu Daring, a traitor, was still venting on the two snatched women.
The goal of this battle is not to capture Xingtang County, but to seize horses and cavalry equipment as much as possible, so Qiao Youhua discussed with Jiang Haidong, and several people quietly lurked around Xingtang County with their troops.
Waited until dark, most of the puppet army fell asleep, they quietly approached the county city wall, Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong were responsible for each leading a team of elites from the east gate and the south gate to attack, Liu Yidao and Scarface led the other two teams of soldiers, in the west gate and the north gate out of the city, quietly rushed to repair a blockade fortification.
Set up light and heavy machine guns to block the escape path of the two devils, which is a typical tactic of closing the door and beating dogs.
Outside the east gate of the city, under the cover of night, Qiao Youhua took the lead, using the flying hook rope carried by the soldiers to easily climb the city wall that was only more than three meters high, and then quietly put down a rope ladder, and the end of the rope ladder was tied to the battlement wall.
Then he turned around and pulled out the three-sided military thorn, and waited by the rope ladder, and the soldiers outside the city quickly climbed up the rope ladder with guns on their backs.
Almost a similar situation was also staged at the south gate almost at the same time, when some soldiers climbed up the rope ladder to the top of the city, Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong led them to quietly kill the sentry and patrol deployed by the puppet cavalry battalion at the head of the city.
It is not difficult to judge the overall quality and vigilance of this puppet army from the bold arrogance of the battalion commander Niu, who was born as bandits and horses, and oppressed the people, and they have a very good set in the fish and meat township, but when it comes to marching and fighting, they are too far behind, whether it is combat effectiveness or vigilance.
After the Longya officers and soldiers led by Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong easily solved the sentry posts and patrols on the east and south gates, they quickly opened the city gate and enlarged the troops into the city.
Then he went straight to the puppet army's barracks in the city, and the location of the puppet army's barracks was on a large area occupied by the southeast of the city, which was also the reason why Qiao Youhua chose the southeast direction as the main direction of attack.
The whole barracks is divided into two parts, one part is the barracks that occupy several large mansions for the puppet army to live in, and the other part is a stable dedicated to the horses, which is a temporary stable built with simple wooden planks and other things, which is about 100 meters away from the barracks of the puppet army.
After Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong each led more than 200 soldiers into the city, they came straight to the stables and barracks respectively, Qiao Youhua commanded the soldiers to take away all the horses in the stables, and Jiang Haidong led people to quietly surround the barracks of the blockade puppet army.
When the puppet army was awakened by the neighing and strange noises made by some war horses in the process of being taken away, and ran out of the barracks, they were immediately ambushed by Jiang Haidong and the soldiers.
Hundreds of light and heavy weapons opened fire, and the puppet soldiers fell one after another in the courtyard and the courtyard gate, and no one was able to rush out.
Since the battle began, the soldiers no longer hid, and some soldiers threw grenades towards the courtyard of the barracks of the two devils.
The combat effectiveness of the two sides was not at the same level at all, and the dragon's tooth column was unprepared with mental calculation, and the battle turned into a one-sided slaughter from the beginning.
Sudden gunshots and explosions resounded throughout the city, and the sleeping people of the entire county were awakened almost at the same time.
Niu Daring, the commander of the puppet military battalion, was no exception, after venting on the two women, he originally slept like a dead pig with these two beautiful women in his arms, but he was still awakened from his sleep by the piercing dense gunfire and rumbling explosions.
He sat up suddenly, hurriedly got dressed, ran out of the bedroom, and asked angrily, "******, what's the matter, where is the gun?" ”
A puppet soldier on duty at the battalion headquarters ran over tremblingly and said, "Battalion commander, the gunfire came from the barracks, could it be that the Eighth Road came in?" ”
Niu Daring was also startled when he heard about the Eighth Route Army, but quickly calmed down: "You go immediately to see what the situation is, and notify the guard platoon to gather immediately!" ”
The puppet army guard immediately bowed his head and answered, and soon went and returned, panting and panicking: "Battalion commander, it's really the Eighth Road!" Our brothers were blocked in the barracks by the Eighth Road and couldn't get out at all, and they were almost killed! ”
Niu Daring opened his big eyes: "What? Is it really eight-way? ”
A guard platoon commander on the side trembled with fright and said: "Big brother, let's run, the Eighth Road is not easy to mess with, even the imperial army can't beat it, let alone us." ”
Niu Daring said a little hesitantly: "Run? Damn, I lost Xingtang County, can the Japanese spare me? ”
"Big brother, it's a big deal that we won't do the Imperial Army, anyway, our old brothers are in the guard platoon, that is, the third brother, they probably won't be able to escape, after escaping, we will also Chahar do the old business! It's not happier than being an errand for a devil! The guard platoon commander said: "As long as we can live, the sky and the earth are big, and wherever the grass falls for Kou Zhanshan to be the king, it is better than dying here!" ”
Niu Daring was moved by what he said, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then quickly withdraw!" Just take the guys with you, and throw the rest away! ”
Dozens of puppet soldiers around began to take action, and the war horses of the guard platoon directly under Niu Dada's battalion headquarters were not placed in the stable, but were kept in captivity not far from the battalion headquarters, which made it easier for them to escape for their lives.
The frightened Niu boldly took his more than 30 guards, rode all the way to the north gate where there was no movement, and the war horses galloped on the streets, which frightened the people in the surrounding houses, and some of the people who just wanted to go out to see what was going on hurriedly shrank back.
However, when Niu boldly led people out of the north gate not more than 100 meters, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from the front, and a large area of hot bullets and rain whizzed head-on.
