Chapter 442: Havoc in Guangzhou [II]
The troops who rushed to the city gate immediately divided their labor, one platoon of the guard company went to open the city gate, and the other two platoons cleared the remnants of the enemy. The soldiers of the reconnaissance company used the bunkers left by the Japanese army to guard against the Japanese counterattack in the city. The soldiers of the platoon who had gone to open the gate came to the gate, smashed the lock, and pushed the gate open halfway. Wang Haitao saw that the city gate had been opened, and ordered everyone to go out of the city.
The guard company was the first to go out of the city, and as soon as the reconnaissance company was halfway out, it saw the Japanese soldiers rushing over in a car at the corner of the street not far from the city gate. Seeing that the Japanese pursuers came so quickly, Wang Haitao frowned. After leaving the city, the goal of Wang Haitao and his more than 300 people was too big to hide, and the two legs of the people could not outrun the wheels of the chasing soldiers' cars, so they could not let the Japanese army chase after them like this.
At that time, the company commander of the reconnaissance company asked to stay and block the Japanese army, and the dozen or so lightly and seriously wounded even asked to stay. Wang Haitao sneered at the Japanese soldiers who rushed over, and replied: "You don't have to stay, little Japan has cars, and we have them too." The reconnaissance company will shoot out all the mortar shells that have not been fired, and after blocking the little Japan, they will all go out of the city, and I will wait for you outside the city. ”
The company commander of the reconnaissance company was puzzled, but out of trust in Wang Haitao, he did not hesitate to give orders according to Wang Haitao's words. The soldiers of the reconnaissance company set up 10 mortars and fired dozens of shells at the Japanese troops who had just finished shooting in one go. The Japanese troops who rushed over were only a few hundred meters away from the city gate, and they were suddenly bombed by flying mortar shells, and two trucks were shot at that time, and dozens of soldiers were blown into the sky. At this time, these Japanese soldiers did not dare to rush over like this, so they got out of the car one after another, and then used the buildings on both sides of the street to carefully approach the city gate.
The reason why Wang Haitao was confident was that there were dozens of Japanese trucks in his storage ring that had just been brought in and used to tow artillery, and with these trucks there, why did he have to pay with his lives to stop the Japanese army? When the commander of the reconnaissance company and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company also rushed out of the city gate, he was startled by the 15 brand-new Japanese-style trucks parked in a row on the side of the road.
Wang Haitao was standing next to a truck, and when he saw that the soldiers had all come out, he shouted: "Quick, all get on the bus, go!" The commander of the reconnaissance company was not surprised, and immediately ordered the soldiers to get into the car. On the first truck, Tangshan Leopard held a map and commanded the soldiers driving around him to go straight to Sihui County.
Wang Haitao and the others retreated, and the Japanese headquarters in the city blew up. At present, the 104th Division of the Japanese Army is still stationed in and around Guangzhou City, and the troops directly under the 21st Army are guarding the city, including a military police brigade, a tank squadron, baggage units directly under it, and some logistics units.
The commander of the 21st Army, Lieutenant General Furuzhuang Kanro, learned that the ammunition and light weapons inside had been stolen from the munitions warehouse, and that 36 of the latest 150 mm howitzers and 10 heavy combat vehicles of the same latest model had just arrived from the mainland. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and I almost didn't pass out.
When he sobered up a little, his first reaction was that it was impossible, to know that it was impossible to carry so many weapons and ammunition even with a heavy baggage squadron, and it was impossible to carry them all in one night, and the vehicles required to carry these munitions were even more amazing, and a reinforced squadron guarding the warehouse was all dead people?
Just when Lieutenant General Furujo Michiro felt more and more incredible the more he thought about it, his subordinates came in and reported that Lieutenant General Toshio Miyake, the commander of the 104th Division, and Kaoru Kataoka, the chief of staff, asked to see him together. Lieutenant General Furujo Michiro invited the two into the office, and Lieutenant General Toshio Miyake signaled Commander Furujo to let all the people in the office withdraw, and then said to Commander Furujo: "Your Excellency, Commander, we have learned about the matter of the arms warehouse, I wonder what Your Excellency Commander thinks about this matter?"
Lieutenant General Furuso Kanro forced a light cough calmly, and then asked Lieutenant General Miyake Toshio rhetorically, "Do you have any opinion on Miyake-kun?" Miyake Toshio glanced at Kaoru Kataoka, who was also coming, and then leaned over to Furuso Kanro, and said: "Weird, quite weird, this incident reminds me of the ancient legend of Shina, the legend has the power of cultivation, there is the art of moving mountains, maybe there is such a great power to make a move." ”
An expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and he asked in surprise, "Miyake-kun, do you have any evidence for saying that?" Miyake Toshio replied with a wry smile: "Your Excellency Commander, what evidence can I have? But if this is not the case, how can you explain that so many arms, and even heavy artillery, have disappeared overnight?"
There was silence in the office for a while, and the ringing of the telephone on Guzhuang Ganlang's desk broke the silence in the office. Guzhuang Ganlang walked over and picked up the telephone, and after listening to it for a while, his face showed an angry expression, and he yelled: "Yaga! You are all a bunch of waste, look for and chase them! You must catch these hateful people!" After roaring, he threw down the receiver hard.
After calming his breath a little, Furujo Michiro turned around and said to Toshio Miyake: "Miyake-kun, just now the gendarmerie brigade reported that a few hundred people of the Shina troops broke through the city gate and fled. This branch must have something to do with the theft of the arsenal last night, you immediately mobilize the troops, you must catch them, as long as you catch them, you should be able to understand what happened last night. ”
As soon as Toshio Miyake heard this, he immediately stood up, stood up and saluted, and said, "Hey, Your Excellency Commander, don't worry, I will mobilize troops immediately, and I will definitely be able to capture this branch of troops." After saying that, he said goodbye and left with Kataoka Kaoru, leaving Lieutenant General Kojo Michiro alone with a cloudy and uncertain face, thinking about what Toshio Miyake said.
Wang Haitao didn't know about his actions, so that the Japanese even connected the story of the powerful art of moving mountains in myths and legends. Wang Haitao now just wants to get rid of the growing team of pursuers behind him. Soon after Wang Haitao and the others left the city gate, the Japanese army found that there were no living people at the city gate except for the corpses, so the military police brigade got into a car and immediately chased out of the city gate.
Outside the city was empty, and the dust raised by Wang Haitao and his car became an obvious target, and the Japanese convoy was in hot pursuit. After the Japanese army contacted the headquarters in the city by radio, new Japanese troops continued to join the encirclement and interception along the way. Soon Toshio Miyake commanded the troops stationed in the counties around Guangzhou and joined the pursuit.
Wang Haitao's form is becoming more and more dangerous, and the area of 1 to 200 kilometers around Guangzhou is occupied by the Japanese, and Japanese troops are more or less stationed in large and small towns. Such an encirclement and interception made Wang Haitao and his team have to change directions frequently, and they also exchanged fire with the Japanese army many times. Fortunately, the two companies under Wang Haitao were extremely strong in combat, and Wang Haitao's storage ring was not short of weapons and ammunition, so they broke through the Japanese blockade several times, making it impossible for the Japanese army to encircle them.
Wang Haitao and the others originally went to Sihui County in the northwest, but as soon as they approached Sanshui County, they were blocked by a wing of the Japanese army. As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, Wang Haitao found that the group of Japanese troops blocking him not only had a large number of people, but also had fierce firepower, and even the 92nd infantry artillery was used. With Wang Haitao's two companies, it was impossible to rush over. Wang Haitao immediately made a decision and commanded the convoy to turn due north, and when the Japanese saw Wang Haitao and they turned due north and ran, they used the radio to contact their superiors and sent two brigades to chase after them.
Wang Haitao and their troops rushed over when they encountered a small group of Japanese troops along the way, and bypassed when they encountered a large group of Japanese troops, and in the afternoon, Wang Haitao's team arrived at a town called Fanhu Town, which was already sleepy and lacking horses. Fifteen trucks broke four along the way, and three more went on strike. There is still a storage ring in the car king Haitao, but the soldiers haven't eaten since last night, and they just took the time to nibble on a few mouthfuls of dry food, and they are a little unbearable.
After throwing his pursuers off the distance, Wang Haitao stopped his troops in the woods two kilometers away from the town. The reconnaissance company sent a squad to reconnoiter the situation in the town, and the other fighters took a break for a while. After a while, the reconnaissance team came back and reported that there was only one platoon of puppet troops stationed in Wang Haitao's town, and no Japanese troops were found. Wang Haitao immediately decided to occupy the town and let the soldiers have a hot meal.
The reconnaissance company was the first to act, they entered the town on foot, and in only a quarter of an hour they were able to deal with a platoon of puppet troops stationed there, giving a signal of safety. At this time, Wang Haitao and the guard company all entered the town. Wang Haitao and his subordinates occupied two hotels, and then sat down. As soon as the number of people was counted, eighteen soldiers had been killed since the attack on the city gates, and more than twenty soldiers had been wounded.
Looking at the map and asking the owner of the hotel, Wang Haitao learned that this Fanhu Town is in the direction of the north of Sihui County, more than 30 kilometers away from Sihui County. There is only one trail from Fanhu Town to Sihui County, and this trail can only be used by horse-drawn carriages at most, and cars cannot walk. Now Wang Haitao is a little difficult to do. More than 30 kilometers is not far away, and the soldiers can reach it in less than four hours on a rapid march, but there are still more than 20 wounded, and a dozen or so lightly wounded are okay, but what about the dozen or so seriously wounded?
Wang Haitao hurriedly ate a bite of food, called Tangshan Leopard over, and talked about it. Tangshan Leopard suddenly patted his thigh and said: "Junzao, I remember, when I first entered the town, I saw a big car shop on the side of the road, let's go buy a few carriages, and use the carriage to pull up the wounded, isn't it?" Wang Haitao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Let's go, take a look!"
Tangshan Leopard led the way, the two came to the big car shop, because the town came to the troops, the big car shop has been closed, Tangshan Leopard doesn't care so much, go up and knock, half a day later, the store door opened a crack, stretched out a head, the man saw that it was two people in military uniforms, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master Jun, is there something?" Tangshan Leopard smiled and asked: "Is your shopkeeper here? We want to buy two carriages." The man was visibly startled, and replied, "Our shopkeeper is not here, and there is no carriage." After saying that, he shrank his head back and was about to close the door.
