Chapter 104: Three Castles of Restoration
Huzhou City, located in the southwest of Taihu Lake, adjacent to Jiaxing in the east, Hangzhou in the south, and Tianmu Mountain in the west, is an ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River with a history of more than 2,000 years.
It is known as the land of fish and rice, and the house of silk.
For more than a week, the battle of Songhu was defeated, and the Japanese army immediately captured it, but at this time, Huzhou was still called Wuxing County.
After capturing Wuxing County, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army went to Suzhou, Wuxi and other places along the north of Taihu, and the Guoqi Detachment and the 18th Division attacked Xuancheng, Lishui, and Wuhu, leaving only one squadron of Japanese troops to garrison here.
With the total annihilation of the Kunisaki detachment and Wuhu falling back into the hands of the Chinese army, the Japanese top brass sent an additional brigade from Shanghai to strengthen the defense of Wuxing County to ensure the safety of Jiaxing, Wujiang and other towns on the outskirts of Shanghai.
The strength of the Japanese army in Wuxing County reached more than 1,300 people, which is more than the current Dragon Tooth Task Force.
Under normal circumstances, if a frontal attack was launched on this thousand-year-old city garrisoned by more than 1,300 Japanese troops, it would be really difficult for the Dragon's Tooth Task Force to break through it in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Qiao Youhua happened to kill the 8th Garrison Regiment of the Japanese Army that rushed to Rencheng, and then rushed towards Wuxing County overnight.
This is something that the devils in Wuxing County could not have expected, after all, the 8th Garrison Regiment had just set off from them for Guangde, in this case, the devil commander of Wuxing County certainly did not expect that there would be Chinese troops to attack Wuxing at this time.
In a forest under Tianmu Mountain, which is not far from Wuxing County, Qiao Youhua put down Liu Ruhan, whose face was flushed and hot, and the ears and temples were grinding all the way, both of them were very uncomfortable, if it wasn't for the upcoming attack on Wuxing County, Qiao Youhua might have been unable to help but carry Liu Ruhan into the woods and have a field battle!
"Wait for me here!" Qiao Youhua made a pun.
Liu Ruhan's heartbeat was still beating rapidly, as if a deer was bumping into him, and his mind was also in chaos, and he subconsciously said, "Hmm." ”
As soon as the words came out, he reacted, glanced at Qiao Youhua charmingly, and turned away.
Qiao Youhua saw that her shy appearance was so cute, he couldn't help but look up and laugh, and waved his horsewhip to ride away.
Liu Ruhan suddenly turned his head and said rarely: "Come back alive!" "She is not an iceberg, with Qiao Youhua all the way south, thousands of miles to fight, born and died, witnessing him leading his soldiers to create one miracle after another, how can she not be moved, but she has always been strong on face, and it is difficult to say.
Bypassing Tianmu Mountain, Qiao Youhua quietly approached the north gate of Wuxing County with more than a thousand subordinates, and the sky was still gray and not yet completely bright.
Vaguely found that in front of the city gate building, the two devil soldiers leaned against the door post with rifles on their backs and fell asleep, no wonder, no matter what, the current Wuxing County is still a real rear for the Japanese soldiers, and it is very safe.
The devil soldiers who had guarded the city all night were the most tired.
Qiao Youhua waved his hand, and Liu Jianhua's reconnaissance company immediately divided dozens of people to quietly touch the rest, and used the flying claw rope to quietly climb towards the head of the city.
Suddenly, a ghost soldier came over sleepily, Qiao Youhua and several soldiers under the city raised their rifles one after another, and once the sneak attack failed, they would shoot them without hesitation.
I saw that the devil soldier walked to the root of the battlement wall, began to untie his belt, and began to pee, from beginning to end, the devil soldier was half-closed, in extreme sleep, probably awakened by urine, and did not find dozens of black shadows hanging outside the city wall at all.
The foul smell of urine fell on the steel helmet of a scout, and the scout gritted his teeth and endured it, his heart burning with rage, until the devil soldier finished urinating, and returned to the city gate to lean against the doorpost and continued to sleep.
Dozens of scouts climbed towards the city again, this time without hindrance, easily climbed to the city, and landed gently, the two sleeping ghost soldiers were still asleep, and suddenly their mouths were covered, and the cold light of the two sharp daggers flashed, cutting their Adam's apples.
Bright red blood gushed out from their severed carotid artery, and the two devil soldiers' mouths were covered with death, and they couldn't break free at all, and their eyes were wide open, so they had to watch their hot blood gush wildly until they lost their last trace of will.
A scout kicked the corpse of one of the ghost soldiers in a fit of rage, and scolded, "Dog, dare to pee on your grandfather's head, it's really an ambitious leopard's guts!" ”
At the same time, the other scouts had already entered the city gate building, stabbed a few sleeping devils inside, and took control of the city gate.
As the city gate was opened, hundreds of officers and men of the reconnaissance company and the first battalion, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed into the city and launched the most rapid attack on the devils who were still sleeping.
Dense gunfire and grenade explosions soon sounded in the city, and when encountering the devil barracks, the dragon tooth soldiers generally first came to machine gun fire, and then threw grenades and bombed indiscriminately.
The firelight and gunfire soon spread throughout the city, the Japanese army was caught off guard, and they did not know the truth in the night, and were easily defeated by the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, and hundreds of devil remnants fled from the south gate in a hurry under the leadership of a Shao Zuo.
Outside the south gate, hundreds of devil soldiers did not dare to turn back at all, and rushed to flee, for fear that the Zhina army in the city would catch up.
However, they didn't run far, and a deafening gunfire suddenly rang out head-on, and before the devil soldiers could react, a dense rain of hot bullets like locusts rushed to their faces, and the devils suddenly screamed and fell in pieces.
The officers and men of the second battalion pulled the trigger to their heart's content, and hundreds of light machine guns and several heavy machine guns built an impenetrable network of death firepower, and hundreds of devil remnants were soon killed and wounded, and fled around the city in a hurry towards the east of the city......
Ma Biao, the commander of the second battalion, personally led the team to launch a pursuit with a light machine gun, and in the east of the city, he and a company of the third battalion blocked the remnants of this devil army and wiped them out on the spot.
At the same time, the battle in the city also came to an end, and with a plaster flag on the devil's headquarters being taken off and dropped, this ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River was officially recovered.
………………
At six o'clock in the morning, the official residence of the leader of Wuhan.
Wang Shihe came to Chairman Jiang's bedroom door in high spirits, probably hearing footsteps, and Chairman Jiang, who had already gotten up, said, "Is it Shihe?" Wait for me at the office, I'll be right there. ”
"Commission, let's report to you outside the door, this is a great piece of good news, I just got the telegram from the Dragon Tooth Task Force, the Dragon Tooth Regiment, under the leadership of the regiment commander Colonel Qiao Youhua, drove straight into more than 300 miles within two days, and successively recovered the three cities of Xuancheng, Guangde, and Wuxing!
Annihilated more than 3,000 Japanese puppet troops and captured countless people! Now the soldiers of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force are directly aimed at the Shanghai-Hangzhou region! Shihe couldn't hold back his excitement and said loudly.
The room fell into silence, and then Chairman Chiang's door suddenly opened, and he asked, "What?" You repeat? ”
