Chapter 127: The Liberation War

Seeing that this young man of the Japanese army was holding a bright saber in one hand, holding her neck from behind the young woman with the other, and slowly walked out of the tea house, Zhao Mutou, who threw a mouse bogey, involuntarily took a step back, and there were bursts of roars around him:

- Little devil, surrender quickly!

- Your grandma's, let go of the woman!

- Fucking arrogance to the end of your life, believe it or not to beat you into a sieve!?

Walking to Fukudaoka on the street, he looked at the battlefield just now with the corner of his eye, and his subordinates were either killed, or fell to the ground struggling and wailing, and in fact they were close to "total annihilation".

"Yaga!"

Captain Shao Zuo roared in grief and indignation, raised his hand and placed the saber across the chest of the woman in his hand, at this moment, the only thing that the mighty Imperial officer was sure of sanctioning was the unarmed Chinese woman in his arms.

His action drew another round of scolding, the sound of a rifle and a bolt pulling, and the young woman who had been held hostage was bloodless with fright.

"Don't shoot!" Zhao Mutou shouted loudly, and then shouted towards Fukudaoka, who was five or six steps away: "There is a kind of let go of the woman, I will fight one-on-one with you!" ”

Fukudaoka couldn't understand the words of the commander of this group, but he saw Zhao Mutou hand over the * in his hand to the soldiers beside him, and instead pulled out a short knife from his waist and gestured at him. The Japanese army Shaozo understood that the officer of China was going to compete with him for cold weapons.

The long knife is against the short knife, and he naturally has the upper hand, but in the face of the soldiers standing around him, he has won a moment, but he is destined to lose everything-that's it, it's time to kill himself!

As soon as it was too late, Fukudaoka jerked the long saber in his right hand to the neck of the woman in front of his chest, wiped it hard, splashed a bloody arrow, and then kicked away the woman who had been blocked by blood in her throat and could not scream.

The Chinese soldiers present were all stunned, no one expected that this devil officer would dare to commit murder at this juncture!

Fukudaoka seized this gap, tore open his military coat with one hand, changed the saber to his hands upside down, and raised it high towards his lower abdomen: "Long live the emperor!" ”

His roar was covered by Zhao Mu's roar: "I am your ancestor!" ”

At the same time as the spy company commander screamed, he had already jumped up in the air, raised his legs, and used a standard flying foot action in Chinese martial arts to kick him with a knife before Fukudaoka's saber was disemboweled, and hit the wall of the tea house hard, and then, almost all of them spewed out tongues of fire at this moment, and the Japanese soldier Shaozo howled and was beaten into a blood gourd.

The battle for the inner city is over!

Qin Zhongxiao first received an urgent report from the chief of staff from the south gate, and a group of reinforcements from the Japanese army sent out from the direction of Little Elm Mountain, carrying heavy weapons, and had driven the 6th Company of the Second Battalion led by the chief of staff into the city, and is currently guarding the south gate; The colonel of the Central Army was shocked, this time he was most worried about the counterattack on the county seat, and it was whether there would be heavy troops from the devils in the direction of Wencheng, and sure enough! However, he received a report from the chief of staff that although the Japanese reinforcements had fierce firepower, the strength of the troops was only about 100 people.

Soon, the battle report of the spy company and the 1st company of the 1st battalion also came, and the Japanese puppet army in the city was basically annihilated, and the remnants all fled to the north city. Qin Zhongxiao's heart was relieved: if the matter of the inner city was solved, the initiative would be in his hands, and if the enemy came to help, the whole regiment could withdraw from the east gate at any time.

He was about to send a special service company to the south gate for reinforcements, and at the same time transfer a battalion and 1 company back to participate in the general attack on the enemy in the north city, but unexpectedly, the chief of staff reported again: Hundreds of Eighth Route Army appeared outside the south city, launched a sneak attack from behind the besieging Japanese army, and the Japanese army had been defeated!

Eighth route army?!

Qin Zhongxiao was stunned - during last year's Northern Jin War and the Battle of Xinkou, he had heard of the Eighth Route Army, that is, the Eighteenth Group Army, but he had never met it. At that time, his brigade commander said that most of the Eighth Route Army was interspersed with the flanks and rear of the Japanese army to carry out offensive and harassing attacks, and rarely participated in the frontal attack and defense organized in the Second World War Zone. As far as he knew, long before the Battle of Taiyuan, this communist army was basically out of the control of the commander's department, and it was like a fish in the sea, and its whereabouts were unknown. But today, the figure of the Eighth Route Army appeared outside Fengdian City!

The chief of staff also reported that the sortie of the Eighth Route Army was accompanied by artillery support, and the shells were accurate and ruthless; Judging from the explosion point of the shell, it is very likely that the 391st regiment once had the Republic of China Type 20 82-mm mortar!

This undoubtedly aroused the curiosity of the colonel of the Central Army, and he asked the chief of staff to pay attention to observe and see if he could get in touch with this friendly army outside the city - since the 12th Independent Brigade of the Jin Army escaped, the 391st Regiment was really alone, although the identity of the Eighth Route Army was not embarrassing in the eyes of the orthodox national army, but they dared to take the initiative to attack the Japanese invaders, it was worth joining forces with them!

Now that the crisis outside the southern city has been resolved, Qin Zhongxiao decided to go all out against the Japanese troops in the northern city. He calculated that after several battles in the inner city, there should not be much left of the Japanese puppet army that fled to the northern city; The colonel of the Central Army quickly adjusted his deployment and ordered the three companies of the second battalion to take over the south, east, and west gates respectively, and at the same time each sent his troops to clear the remnants of the enemy forces nearby; The three companies of the first battalion plus Zhao Mutou's spy company immediately assembled and divided their troops into four routes to attack and advance to Beicheng.

When Aso Nakasa hurriedly came to the gate of the northern city, there was less than a squad of troops left around him, and as the sound of guns became weaker and weaker, there were constantly remnants of defeated soldiers who escaped from all over the city to come here, and the deputy commander of the Japanese army finally counted the approximate number of people, counting the infantry and cavalry of the Mongolian army, about two hundred - the captain Fukudaoka had lost communication contact.

Aso ordered the telegraph soldiers to immediately set up a temporary radio antenna on the walls of the northern city, and all telephone communications were cut off, and he had to keep in touch with the brigade headquarters in Wencheng; Previously, the brigade headquarters sent a telegram saying that it had ordered the Futian Brigade to transfer the infantry squadron in the Xiaoyushu Mountain Pass to reinforce Fengdian, but at the moment Aso had no way of knowing the progress of that squadron.

From Fukuoka Shaosa's walkie-talkie report earlier, he had learned that the branch army that attacked the county town was the 391st Regiment of the Central Army that was originally stationed here, and Aso felt tricky: Although he had never personally fought with the 391st Regiment of the Central Army, after listening to the officers and men of the wing, the deputy wing commander was still quite afraid of this strong force of the branch.

Looking at the straight north and south streets and the streets and alleys on the left and right from the city gate tower, you can vaguely see the figures of the soldiers of the Chinese army who are active in the streets and alleys, but both the imperial army and the Mongolian army are basically extinct. Aso was desperate to realize that the officers and soldiers, including the captain Fukudaoka, were probably broken. And Fengdian County, there is little hope of holding on.

Aso sent an urgent telegram to the brigade headquarters in Wencheng, informing him that the garrison had lost most of it, that the Chinese army was fierce, and that the remnants of his own troops could no longer support it, and asked to retreat to the front line of Junling.

The reply from the brigade headquarters had not yet been received, but a captain staff officer of the Aso wing headquarters exclaimed: The Shina army has begun to attack the northern city!

Aso grabbed the binoculars and scanned it, and sure enough, there was a large group of Shina troops searching and marching on the streets of the city, and it was visually estimated that there were about 300 people; And at the east and west ends of the north city wall, there were also enemy spearheads who were cautiously and hidden.

Aso decided not to wait for the reply from the brigade headquarters: if he did not withdraw, it was very likely that the whole army would be annihilated. He ordered the north gate to be opened, and all of them went out of the city, and retreated along the road to the old station of the Otsuka United: the Junling.

The choice of the deputy commander of the Japanese army was wise and correct, and before their rear guard was withdrawn, the forward of the 391st Regiment of the Central Army pounced on the street, and at the same time, the attacking team along the head of the city also came together; This situation of attacking from three sides is something that Aso's 200 people are unable to deal with.

Fortunately, the Chinese army did not go out of the city to pursue, they intercepted and killed a small part of the rear team, and then occupied the north gate and collected the troops.

Fengdian, an important town in the south of central Jin, announced a change of ownership.

Wu Zijian, who was cleaning the battlefield outside the south gate, was very excited.

The 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Eighth Route Army, at a slight cost of three dead and two wounded, captured most of the heavy equipment of an infantry squadron of the Japanese army: a Type 97 81 mm mortar, a Type 92 heavy machine gun, and two Type 89 grenadiers. In addition, there were five boxes of mortar shells, each containing six shells; The Type 92 heavy machine gun had two boxes of bullets, each containing eighteen plates of ammunition.

Zhao Yejiao, the leader of the artillery squad, danced happily, and this result was exactly what Deputy Battalion Commander Wu promised to give them the artillery squad.

Among them, the grenadier is the first time that Wu Zijian, Li Tianlin and other officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route have seen it. In the past, I had heard about how powerful the Japanese grenadiers were, but this time I finally saw them in real form.

Zhao Yejiao was born as an artillery of the 14th Army of the Central Army, and he had a certain understanding of the 89-type grenadier commonly equipped by the Japanese army. Captured along with the grenadiers, there were also two grenadier ammunition bags carried by the Japanese soldiers, a total of four ammunition bags, and in addition to the * that was shot, there were still 23 left. Zhao Yejiao took a grenadier and a *, and explained the use of this weapon to Wu Zijian and others.

Knowing that this seemingly inconspicuous thing could actually hit more than four or five hundred meters, and the power of the explosion was also huge, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route were a little stunned, and many people didn't even believe it, and eagerly encouraged Zhao Yejiao to try to hit it.

was making a lot of noise, but there was a shout from the head of Fengdian City, it was the soldiers of the 391st Regiment of the Central Army trying to greet the field army outside the city. Wu Zijian was also planning to contact the national army attacking the county seat, and immediately sent Chen Xuanzhu, the captain of the enemy engineer, to walk towards the city gate with two people.
