Chapter 64: Return to the Horse Gun (3)

Qiao Han was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that the devil was also very smart, and he actually crossed the river with a brigade, and he only had one squadron of one hundred and fifty people, and he couldn't fight hard with the devil. Admonished: "Order, shoot with one shot, and then retreat, be quick." ”

After speaking, he raised his gun and aimed at a devil, and with a shot, a devil standing in the water fell headlong. This is the signal, a burst of gunshots like bursting beans, dozens of devils in the river fell, although the river is not wide, there is nothing to cover, one by one devils are live targets, the distance between the two is only 100 meters, there is no reason not to hit.

The other devils immediately retreated, and the devils in the river forgot that this was the river water, and out of training habits, immediately lay down. The water is not deep, but it is close to seventy or eighty centimeters, although it is a river bank, but it is also in the water, and it immediately becomes a soup chicken.

Yoshino Masao Nakasa was stunned, he dared to let the troops wade across the river, that is, he observed the other side of the river with a telescope, and there were no fortifications, proving that the Shina army did not want to block the riverbank.

The cunning Shina people did not build a position, then they were looking for death, and immediately ordered light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers to fire together on the river bank. Since there are no fortifications, let's wait to be destroyed.

But how did he know that this was a shot, and after this shot, he didn't even load the bullets, and the whole squadron was bent on his waist, and even rolled and crawled backwards, leaving here as fast as he could. Taking advantage of the uneven terrain, he withdrew from the river bank and ran towards the village of Xujiaqiao in the distance.

Qiao Han didn't know how many devils he killed, but he also had a squadron, and if it went on like this, the devils would arrive in Kunshan, and there would be no more than a few left in a brigade. I didn't lose a single one on my side, and this battle was too cool

Run to Xujiaqiao and immediately enter the selected location, of course, it is the place that has been arranged. There were also positions without any fortifications, houses, walls, ditches, vegetable cellars, and more than a hundred people were hidden.

Hiding behind the ridge of a house and looking at the clearing outside the village, there was a cleared shooting range, and there was nothing within a hundred meters. Looking at the calm village, more than a hundred and fifty guns were pointed outside. Qiao Han said: "Give the order to the left and right, or shoot with one shot, and retreat quickly." ”

It's like a war, it's like a game. There were gunshots and explosions in the distance, and Masao Yoshino was still angry. He was already dizzy because there was not a single shot fired from the other side of the river.

He ordered the shooting to stop, sent a squad to try to cross the river, ordered heavy fire to be ready, and immediately strike as soon as the opposite bank was blocked.

A team crossed the river tremblingly, and when they landed on the shore, they knew that the Zhina Army ran away after a moment's emotion, isn't it annoying? Furious, Masao Yoshino ordered a full crossing of the river.

When the Japanese army landed on the riverbank, they couldn't feel the cold if they were to fight and charge, but the devil who had nothing to do was wet with his lower body, and he shivered from the cold wind.

In this way, Masao Yoshino had to leave a squad to guard the shore, repair the blown up bridge deck, and meet the wing behind. He led his soldiers forward to attack and occupy Xujia Village.

When he ran to the village, Yoshino Masao ordered the troops to stop advancing, and looking at the silent village, Yoshino Masao was also a little scared. These cunning snow fox brigades are really the same as foxes, too cunning.

He also learned wisely, holding up a telescope to observe and see if there were any defensive positions. There were foxholes on the riverbank, and I didn't even pay attention to it.

For more than ten minutes, there was nothing abnormal, and he waved his hand to order a squad to conduct a tentative attack, and ordered the machine guns in the back to get ready.

The squad spread out completely and cautiously moved forward. Qiao Han was a little disappointed, it was only a small team, a little less. But then don't think about going back, immediately order to convey, three against one, fight for one shot, and then retreat.

One hundred meters, one hundred and ten meters, fifty meters, Qiao Han shouted: "Fight." ”

One hundred and fifty people fired calmly, three guns hit one, static shooting, if they missed, Xue Ru's bullets would be in vain. There was a burst of gunfire, and the devils of the entire squad fell. Masao Yoshino, who had been holding a telescope to watch, had a black eye in front of him, because he could see very clearly that he was not lying down but was killed.

The light and heavy machine guns behind him immediately opened fire, and the * of the grenadiers also fired. It's still the same, and the whole blocking side never fired a single shot again. But Yoshino Masao didn't dare to attack, he didn't have many troops to consume like this.

He wanted to destroy this place, but he was the vanguard, and he didn't even have artillery, only grenadiers, which were not as long as the range of machine guns. While sending someone to report to the wing commander in the back, while letting the grenadier machine gun fire blindly. The grass and trees flew and the dirt flew. For more than an hour, there was still no movement, and Masao Yoshino, who had no choice, had to order a squadron to attack.

While retreating, Chen Dong said: "Squadron leader, do you want to fight again in the three lines of defense?" ”

Qiao Han shook his head: "No, withdraw to Kunshan immediately, the devil will not be fooled again, this time we suffered five casualties, the little devil reacted too quickly, and it can be called a strong army." ”

Chen Dong could not be unconvinced, but despite this, the slower soldiers were hit by the fast-arriving machine gun bullets of the Japanese army, killing three and seriously wounding two. Looking at the soldiers carrying the corpses and the wounded soldiers on their backs, Chen Dong also knew that as long as the devils found something suspicious, they would fire the cannon first. Such an ambush is no longer possible, snorted fiercely.

Qiao Han said: "The time has already rushed, and when I return to the city, I will immediately arrange it, withdraw from the city as soon as it gets dark, and the captain will come back and clean them up." ”

It wasn't until the arrival of the wing commander Zhi Dao Baoliang Dazuo that the Japanese army entered Xujia Village, but even the wing captain was dumbfounded, there was no one in Xujiaqiao, which was less than a thousand people, and the Snow Fox Brigade that blocked the attack was long gone.

Glancing at Yoshino Masao fiercely, Zhidao Baoliang Dazuo did not delay, and still pursued to Kunshan as soon as possible to prevent Xue Ru from coming back, after all, the 101st Wing was destroyed too quickly. Fortunately, the reconnaissance plane reported that no trace of the Snow Fox Brigade was found, and they must have been hiding near Jiading.

Taking the opportunity to occupy Kunshan and surround the Snow Fox Brigade was the best policy, so he did not hesitate and immediately waved his troops to attack Kunshan.

These small forces were obviously delaying the advance of the imperial army and buying time for Xue Ru, so they could not delay and immediately occupy Kunshan and complete the encirclement plan. At the same time, it attacked Suzhou and approached Nanjing.

When they arrived in Kunshan, they saw Kunshan that was waiting for the battle, although there were many flags on the city wall, and there were some soldiers hidden, but Zhidao Baoliang Dazuo knew that it was just a suspicious tactic, and Kunshan did not have many troops.

According to the report of the 101st Wing, which fled back to Liu Xing, there were three or four thousand people in the Snow Fox Brigade that attacked Jiading. Taicang's army took the initiative to retreat, that is, Xue Ru Kunshan did not leave any troops.

Zhidao Baoliang did not wait, and ordered the artillery of the wing to immediately open fire on the city wall to cover the infantry to attack the city. However, after more than half an hour of shelling, the attacking soldiers had already begun to enter the city, and not a single shot was fired from it. Soon the Japanese army attacked Kunshan from the entire south, and there were only sporadic gunfire inside.

Zhi Dao Baoliang sneered: "The cunning Zhi woman, do you think that you can scare yourself by using suspicious soldiers to block the battle?" The Imperial Japanese Army also understands the empty city plan. He ordered a large group of men to enter the city at the city gate.

Until the command in the city, at a glance, it was Xue Ru's headquarters, there was basically no change here, there were scattered papers everywhere, and it could be seen that the troops who held on were withdrawn in a hurry. They didn't expect the Imperial Army to attack without hesitation, right?

He also used this as the headquarters of the wing, and ordered the three brigades, and the logistics baggage brigade, to guard in four directions, Zhidao Baoliang thought that Xue Ru would come back before dawn, so he had to be strictly guarded.

The deputy commander of the wing, Kenji Kobayashi, said: "Your Excellency, I just received a report that the entire Kunshan City is empty, I'm worried that Xue Ru won't come back?" ”

"Aren't there any people?" Zhidao Baoliang was stunned.

"Yes, not only did not there be a single one of the people, but many wells were filled to death, and not a single grain of grain was found, not even fodder."

Zhidao Baoliang is like a deflated ball: "Cunning and big." Report to the brigade commander that the Snow Fox Brigade may have fled to the rear elsewhere and let the Imperial Army be fooled. ”

Kenji Kobayashi said: "There are imperial troops all around, and since she doesn't plan to come back, she can only escape from the direction of Suzhou." Is it for the brigade commander to block the Beijing-Shanghai railway to prevent her from fleeing west? ”

"Yo Xi, today the 16th Division has occupied Changshu, the 13th Division occupies Taicang, we occupy Kunshan, the 11th Brigade attacks Suzhou, Xue Ru's Snow Fox Brigade has nowhere to run, and the plane will be able to find them early tomorrow morning" Zhidao Baoliang Dazuo said proudly.

"Dasa Gaoming, the Snow Fox Brigade has no provisions, they can't lurk for a long time, and the people of Shina who surrendered to the Imperial Army can also report their whereabouts," Kobayashi Kenji said flatteringly.

Zhidao Baoliang knew that Xue Ru would not come back, and Kunshan obviously carried out a strong wall clearance. Even the wells were filled in, and the people were all evacuated, and it seemed that the imperial army had been fooled.

In one night, the Snow Fox Brigade must have looked for loopholes in the imperial army's defenses and fled to the rear. But that's not his business, since Kunshan has been occupied, when the other wing arrives, he can attack Suzhou and attack Wuxi.

The teams were ordered to dig wells, prepare to eat and rest, and wait for the arrival of the brigade commander tomorrow. Originally, I thought that the Snow Fox Brigade would come back, but since it didn't come back, what else was there to defend, the devil relaxed his vigilance, left a guard team in each direction, and the other soldiers began to rest.

This is very good, there is basically no damage to the houses in Kunshan City, maybe the Snow Fox Brigade really intends to come back, and the troops are scattered into the houses.

Zhidao Baoliang Dazuo was relieved, this is exactly the result Xue Ru wants. In a forest on the east side of Kunshan City, Dai Zong's special operations squadron, which had been rushed back overnight, and Qiao Han's third squadron, which had withdrawn from the city, converged.

Since they planned to do so, Wu Yuzhao and Xiang Wenbin studied the details of various plans. This small place, called Gangpo, is where they meet. In the woods, Dai Zong and the others did not participate in the battle in Jiading City, and they didn't know what the situation was.

Dai Zong said to Qiao Han: "Everything in the city is arranged, right?" ”

Qiao Han said: "Of course, the arrangement has been completed when the captain leaves, and we are just luring the devil in." It seems that the captain can really pinch the same, and the devils are really obedient, and they all obediently enter the city. ”

Dai Zong said: "I sometimes really wonder if the captain is a fox spirit, why is he so smart? ”

Qiao Han said: "Also, if you look at Xiao Yongdu, you will know, he is completely confused, and he is uncomfortable without being trained." ”

Dai Zong said: "Don't talk about Xiao Yong, you are no better. ”

"You dare to laugh at me" Qiao Han glared at her eyes and said: "She is so small, she is a little sister, I think it won't take long for Xiao Yong to be a public enemy." ”

Dai Zong said: "He deserves it, and I won't help him." The captain belongs to everyone, why should he care? ”

"That's," Qiao Han said, "At least Chief of Staff Lan won't agree." ”

Both of them felt that Xiao Yong wanted to eat swan meat, and when they thought that everyone did not support him, they laughed proudly. While talking about happiness, a rhythmic call of wild birds can be heard in the distance. Dai Zong said: "It's Wei Ming, this kid, he's really fast." ”

"Fart, what time are you watching?" As soon as Qiao Han said this, Dai Zong noticed that the two of them were just talking happily, forgetting the time, and seeing that it was really not early outside.

When Zhao Yan appeared, the two of them knew that they had completely annihilated a wing, which was something that several divisions could not do. It seems that the fate of this 23rd wing is similar. Immediately feeling confident, he sent someone to meet the main force of the captain.

When two regiments and a brigade of more than 3,000 people arrived in Kunshan, it was almost dawn after midnight.

Xue Ru had a strong man with him, so he almost let Fan Tiezhu carry it, and finally he didn't fall behind. Sitting down in the woods, Xie Chengrui, Ji Min, Xiang Wenbin, Lan Xunzhou, and Wu Yuzhao gathered together to listen to Qiao Han's report.

The battle of Jiading greatly increased the confidence of these troops, and the devils were nothing more than that. Losing aircraft artillery, this kind of street fighting, is not an opponent at all. Xue Ru said: "Check the weapons and ammunition, bayonets*, leave the excess weapons and ammunition here and hand them over to Zhao Wufu." Liu Quan, turned on the radio, contacted the theater command, and learned about the entire battlefield situation, and the other troops carried out as planned, and the gunfire was the signal. ”

"Yes" everyone immediately agreed, leading their troops into action.
