Chapter 796: Danyang City
Naojiro Amaya didn't know that his opponent had a big killer weapon like the 17 Tiger Roar in his hands! If he had known, he would have ordered all his troops to stand by and be reinforced. At the same time, the Central China Front Command was requested to provide tactical assistance.
Unfortunately, he didn't know. On the one hand, the guerrillas in northern Jiangsu led by Huo Qingyun, under the leadership of veterans of the National Defense Army, camouflaged the traces after the shelling in great detail.
Even the wrecked truck was dismantled. Without careful analysis, it is difficult to tell whether this was destroyed by artillery fire or blown up.
Secondly, the soldiers who were also surveyed by the Rì Army were not very careful. On the one hand, they don't want to believe from the bottom of their hearts that they have a unit with heavy artillery around them.
This is the blind spot of their thinking, in their minds, if there is such a force, then why didn't the Nanjing side use it earlier?! And if this unit was subordinate to the Wehrmacht, then why didn't they launch a battle for the positions of the Rì Army on the outskirts of Nanjing?! Even if you can't fight Nanjing, why haven't the cities and towns in your hands been attacked?!
It can only be said that both aspects are yīn wrong. The formation of the guerrillas in northern Jiangsu was actually completed after the invasion of northern Jiangsu, and secondly, this force has not reached the point where it can attack the positions of the army on the outskirts of Nanjing.
Therefore, since then, they have mainly ambushed the transport team of the army and trained the troops. As for hitting towns...... Aren't they ready to start fighting now?!
It can only be said that Rìjun's assumptions have caused misunderstandings in his thinking. And this judgment based on this misunderstanding is likely to lead to a big loss under the attack of the guerrillas.
It's a pity that Naojiro Amaya still doesn't know. Even the entire mixed brigade does not know what they will face.
After the commander of the 12th Infantry Wing, Anda Twenty-three Zuo, returned to his headquarters, he called a joint meeting of the group leaders under his command.
A brigade was then assigned to escort the last batch of supplies to the outlying positions in Nanjing, and at the same time ordered the troops to strengthen the defense. At this time, the armored vehicles of a brigade of the Combat Vehicle Wing of the Rì Army had also arrived at the station of the 12th Infantry Wing.
After the two sides converged, they marched towards the outside of Nanjing.
As a result of sending a brigade out. The 23rd Zuo of Anda sent two squadrons from the other brigade and the artillery squadron of the wing to Danyang, which was the assistant of the original brigade, to take over for a short time.
In the opinion of Anda Twenty-Three Zuo, those damn guerrillas should have nothing to do with their own troops this time, right?! With a squadron of armored vehicles, even if they attack, they will only inflict more casualties on themselves.
Anda Twenty-Three was full of confidence, and after giving the order, he rested in his wing headquarters.
The roar of the "woo ......" car sounded in Danyang City, but I saw that one after another RÌ army transport trucks slowly drove out of Danyang City under the escort of armored vehicles.
At the same time, another army began to enter Danyang City. Machine guns have been erected in bunkers on the walls and at the gates. At the same time, the soldiers of the Rì Army were constantly patrolling the streets, looking at anyone in Danyang City.
A piece of artillery was also transported to Danyang City, and with them came another group of rì troops. But these rì armies do not know. In the darkness of Danyang City, countless eyes were observing them.
"Hey! It seems that Xiao Zizi is quite cautious, and here is an estimate of the strength of two infantry squadrons. There is also an artillery squadron that should be directly under the wing, which is enough to cost blood. ”
Liu Yunjiao smiled and said to Huang Bamei beside him: "If it is this force, it will not be easy for us to break through Danyang City for a while. ”
Huang Bamei nodded. When she saw the equipment of the rì army, she already had a bottom in her heart. If it is a strong attack, it will definitely not be able to take Danyang City for a while.
The rì army only needs to hold out for a while, and their large army will rush to support. At that time, their troops will be dumplings, and they can't run away if they want to!
"Brother Liu, we are all in Danyang City now. These wishful thinking is wrong! Huang Bamei was full of confidence in herself, and said to Liu Yunjiao: "We smashed his artillery at night and opened the city gate." I'll see how long this can last. ”
Liu Yunjiao smiled slightly, turned to Huang Bamei and said, "It's this reason, we should plan our attack target now." More than 300 brothers entered. It is not difficult to cause chaos in the rì army. ”
A standard infantry squadron of the Rì Army is 1 man, which includes a 19-man squadron headquarters, squadron leader, executive officer, 3 sergeants, 4 health officers, officers' orderlies, and division officers. Communicators, and three squads of 54 people.
Two infantry squadrons, that is to say, there are now more than 300 people of the Rì Army infantry in Danyang City.
The artillery squadron was 17 people with 4 Type 92 7 infantry guns.
This kind of strength is quite good, even in a normal battle, such a configuration ratio is enough to allow the rì army to flexibly resist attacks from outside the city.
But they did not think: what if the enemy attack was launched from the inside of the city ?!
The Rì army had never encountered such a situation, because they had never considered themselves to be attacked from within the city. And this loophole in thinking also gave great convenience to the guerrillas in northern Jiangsu.
Liu Yunjiao and Huang Bamei were the first guerrilla detachments to attack the transport team of the Rì Army, and after the attack was completed, they changed their costumes and lurked all the way to Danyang City.
Under the reception of all directions. The detachment of more than 300 people all entered Danyang City in batches. They either disguised themselves as men, or disguised themselves as small merchants and quietly lurked in Danyang City waiting for orders.
Of course, not all of these three hundred people were members of the detachment. More of them are the jīng rui of the various detachments that have been transferred from the crows.
Although there was no way to transport heavy weapons to Danyang City, light machine guns and grenadiers were still tried everywhere to get in. These weapons are now stored in warehouses all over the place, and at the slightest command, these killing weapons will be used for their original purpose.
"Let's go, let's go back to Command first. Look what the commander-in-chief has to say. Liu Yunjiao put away the telescope. said to Huang Bamei beside her. The latter nodded, and then slowly walked out of the private room of the teahouse like a young couple.
After going downstairs, Liu Yunjiao stopped a rickshaw, said an address and left here. "Woo ......" drove out of the car in Danyang City, and Captain Nakamoto Qing was paying attention to the surrounding movements. He knew that two squadrons and several squads had not even survived the recent attack.
The other party's hands were crisp and neat, which was really beyond his expectations. A squadron of one hundred and eighty people. was annihilated in silence.
Not even a single one escaped, which made Captain Kiyoshi Nakamoto extremely surprised. Yes, he somewhat understood why the wing would send himself out on a transport mission.
And with them, there are even powerful weapons such as armored vehicles.
"Let everyone pay attention to the surrounding movements, once you find that you don't have the right poke to the Fu Ying Dan slanted stable, the slashing badge emblem, the slashing of the mother?
"Hay!" The adjutant replied loudly, and he was also aware of what had happened recently. To be honest, the adjutant was also a little nervous about this sortie. The most terrible enemy is the one who knows nothing and does not know anything.
It was beyond the expectations of Captain Kiyoshi Nakamoto. They even drove dozens of kilometers out of Danyang City, but there was no attack. Even so, Nakamoto Kiyodai still did not dare to relax.
It wasn't until late at night that Kiyodai Nakamoto asked the troops to stop and stay in a village. At the same time, the president of the village maintenance association was also asked to take charge of the food and lodging of the entire brigade.
Kiyoshi Nakamoto eats the cooked chicken that was served. Nodding in satisfaction. After being told to go down to the sentry, he went to rest.
During the Republic of China, there was another war. There are not as many activities as in later generations, and most people eat and rest almost as soon as it gets dark. This is no exception even in Danyang City.
After the meal was finished, the rest of the rì troops, except for the sentry posts, returned to the barracks to rest. They rested, and the guerrilla operations began at this time.
"According to the plan, we will launch an attack on several posts, garrison positions and artillery positions of the Rì Army at 12 o'clock at midnight." In the cellar of a courtyard somewhere in Danyang City, Huo Qingyun said in a deep voice to Liu Yunjiao, Huang Bamei and others beside him.
This cellar is huge. Connected to different yards. These are all secret bases that have been repaired for a long time by talking around. Several courtyards separated from each other have been opened underground.
A huge underground liaison point, warehouses and accommodation area are formed here. Huo Qingyun had just arrived at noon today, and he had arrived in Danyang City a few hours before the army left the city.
"A team, you are responsible for cleaning up the firepower points at the city gate and the city tower of the rì army." Huo Qingyun looked at Rao Fu, the leader of the first detachment of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Column, and said in a deep voice: "Remember! Don't make any noise that will attract the attention of the rì army and expose our actions. ”
"Yes!" Rao Fu replied in a deep voice, he is the old man of the crow. Knowing how to carry out assassinations and surprise attacks, the first detachment is the core force of the entire guerrilla column in northern Jiangsu.
They are small in number, though. But they were the only ones who held the core secrets of the entire guerrilla column in northern Jiangsu. At the same time, they are also Huo Qingyun's sharp knife troops.
"Second detachment, your mission is to completely paralyze the command of the Rì Army after the battle has begun. We must not allow them to form contacts and commands, but we must cut off the way in which they are connected to the outside world. Someone is already in charge of the wires, and your mission is to destroy the radio station of the Rì Army! ”
"Yes!" Huang Bamei replied loudly, she was the leader of the second detachment. Nominally, Liu Yunjiao is nothing more than her deputy. In other words, the specific battle command is completed by Huang Bamei. Liu Yunjiao's task is to assist from the side.
"Third detachment. Your task is to prepare for an ambush of the artillery positions of the Rì Army. According to our intelligence, the artillery positions of the Rì Army are not very strong, so try to ambush them as much as possible. It's best to take this position without casualties! ”
"Yes!!" Yu Peng, the leader of the third detachment, responded loudly.
With the issuance of orders one after another, the entire Danyang City was constantly changing inside and outside. Several detachments have already covertly and quickly surrounded Danyang City.
Unfortunately, Squadron Leader Horii Koeda and Captain Hiroshi Aikawa didn't know that they were surrounded by a lot of people, and they were still drinking happily in the headquarters.
In their opinion, the troops at their disposal are sufficient for any contingency. Even if the zhōngyāng army troops came to attack in a big way. He was also able to support the ambush troops.
"Horii-san, why are you talking about why the brigade was placed in the rear to be responsible for strengthening security?!" Captain Hiroshi Aikawa complained to the leader of the well digging squadron: "We are also a meritorious brigade on the Songhu battlefield!" Why should we be responsible for these security issues?! We should go to war and annihilate all those damned, stubborn dolphins! ”
"yes...... But the command won't send us, and we can't do anything about it. Squadron Leader Aikawa sighed: "It seems that General Matsui is commanding the battle now, but none of us know that the real person in charge is actually Asaka's palace." ”
Aikawa smiled bitterly and said, "Why should we oppose His Royal Highness's proposal?!" At least, I don't have the guts. ”
Hearing this, he sighed and drank the sake from his cup. After the Battle of Songhu, he always dreamed that he would be able to go to the battlefield again. so that your title can be promoted.
Otherwise, it's just a matter of boiling qualifications, then you will get the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse! Only in war will promotion be the fastest and most stable. But this kind of opportunity is hard to come by, and digging a well feels that it is difficult to come by.
"Dig a well...... We don't have a strong background, so we just have to be honest and carry out the task. Aikawa seemed to see the idea of digging a well, and smiled and comforted.
"Since the established strategy of the empire is to completely annihilate the Chinese dolphin and form a new national capital. Then there are still many opportunities for our soldiers. Aikawa smiled and said, "We are at least on active duty." It's much better than the emperors who have been transferred to the reserves......"
Digging a well and thinking about it, the two of them raised their glasses and drank together after laughing.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the two stopped drinking with extreme restraint. After a casual conversation and laughter, he left the headquarters and hurried towards his camp.
You know what you're doing. They didn't take it lightly. The sake has a low degree of liquor jīng. The two of them were very restrained and only drank a little, so that it did not affect their actions.
As the moon gradually sank in the west, bursts of snoring came from the barracks of the rì army one after another. The entire Danyang City gradually fell silent. "Right watch!" Huo Qingyun raised his wrist, and Huang Bamei and others moved the same as him.
"It's eleven o'clock, and you guys are ready now." Huo Qingyun said in a deep voice to everyone: "The first and third detachments started to move at 11:50. The rest of the troops, as well as those outside the city, will start moving at 12 o'clock sharp! Ministries, each in place! ”
"Yes!!" The group let out a low roar, and then walked out of the headquarters in the cellar. Outside, guns, grenadiers, etc. have been taken out everywhere.
Everyone silently picked up their weapons. Then they left the cellar in batches and passages with their respective chiefs. In the night, groups of gray-clothed people walked through the streets and alleys of Danyang City.
They were extremely skillful in sticking to the shadows of the walls, and kept rushing towards the city gates, the headquarters of the Rì army, and the artillery positions.
"Wangwang......" A few dog barks sounded in Danyang City, and the dog owner muttered a few curses. The dog shut up aggrievedly and didn't bark. The rì army on the castle tower was constantly dozing.
They had just been replaced, and they were thinking about their beds with resentment. Although the camp bed is not comfortable, it is better than blowing the wind here.
Muttering a few curses, the soldiers began to keep their heads down and dozing off with their machine guns.
Night sè. Several gray shadows slowly approached the city gate. A few men dodged and took advantage of the fact that the rì army was not paying attention, and suddenly flashed to the bottom of the city wall along the shadow of the base of the wall, and climbed the tower like a tanuki along the stairs.
There was a muffled sound of "poof......, and several soldiers in the machine-gun positions under the city walls were twisted off their necks in shock. They didn't even have time to react in surprise before they lost the ability to resist.
The Shadow posed the rì troops and repositioned them on machine-gun positions. At this time, a gray shadow also flashed from the city tower and made a few gestures below.
A few men in the machine-gun position under the castle tower understood and waved their hands at the wall in the distance. But I saw dozens of gray shadows suddenly appear from under the base of the wall, and went straight to the city gate.
Quickly and silently, they removed the bolts from the city gate, and quietly hid themselves behind the yīn shadow of the city gate.
Rao Fu, the leader of the first detachment, raised his wrist and looked at it. Smile slightly. It seems that his brother's hands are not rusty, but they have all been dealt with in a minute.
Now when the time comes, you can act.
At this time, a group of gray-clothed men outside the headquarters of the Rì Army had also lurked. It's not easy to deal with here, because there are so many guards, and it's a brigade headquarters in the first place.
Yes. All the fortifications and firing points are well placed. Even the searchlights on the towers don't stop sweeping around here. Obviously, the rì army here is extremely jǐngti.
"Aim that searchlight up there! And those machine-gun positions. Liu Yunjiao calmly arranged: "The grenadier is ready, and it will be directly bombarded when you launch an attack in a while!" Let's talk about it after hitting the grenadier! ”
"Yes!" Liu Yunjiao's voice was very low, and it was more than two hundred meters away from the headquarters of the Rì Army. So the rì army did not notice here.
And on the artillery position of the Rì Army, Yu Peng, the leader of the third detachment, had a headache! The artillery on the opposite side was obviously extremely well defended, with not only searchlights but also several high-altitude firing points.
It was all covered with people, and Jǐng Ti looked around. This made Yu Peng feel extremely difficult to start. Once you do it, it will inevitably alarm the rì army. If you don't do it, it's a violation of the order.
P: Tomorrow I will learn to drive for another day, and I can take a break for a while......
