Chapter 12: The Aftermath of War (60)

The engineer platoon of the 414th regiment was very creative, they forcibly requisitioned a Nissan rabbit car on the road from Sanhe to Lujiang, and built a watchtower as high as eight meters on the carriage with the sturdy parts brought by the sapper platoon. The rear and sides of the car are reinforced with two-inch thick planks to ensure that bullets cannot hit the tires or fuel tanks.

When Liang Yisheng rushed to the Donglu Camp with the grenadier troops of the 413th Regiment at the speed of a rapid march, the watchtower built on the car was just completed. Liang Yisheng ignored the heaviness of his body, climbed to the top of the tower in person, bent cross-legged and shrunk in the bucket, a big turtle. The driver was not in a hurry, and slowly retreated the car to the west gate of the old green camp, Liang Yisheng cautiously stretched out his head to see, everything in the old green camp was in full view.

The 414th Regiment had 27 grenadiers, the 413th Regiment was richer, with 36 canisters, the difference was that the 414th Regiment had the 27th type of domestic people, and the 413th Regiment had the Nissan Taisho 10 type. Although they are all smoothbore hand guns, relatively speaking, the Min 27 type is imitated and developed on the basis of the Taisho 10 type, and the performance is slightly stronger, the most prominent point is that the Min 27 type can use the Taisho 10 type shells, while the Taisho 10 type cannot use the Min 27 type shells. The 413th Regiment was equipped with more shells per hand cannon, and if the 414th Regiment had basically run out of shells before, sixty-three grenadiers could come in handy.

With the appearance of the lookout Diao Dou, and then see dozens of hand cannons assembled, the old green battalion in the Jianguo Army knew that this time in the catastrophe, the top priority, is to knock out the door of the Diao Dou, but unfortunately in the barracks in addition to the 38 rifles, there are no heavy weapons, a little helpless, throw * too far, with a cluster * is even more impossible, the opponent's machine gun sealed the gate impenetrable, not to mention the individual, even to go out a mouse is difficult. I had to concentrate my fire on the Nissan Rabbit, but it had no effect, and when the bullet was fired into the quilt, a wisp of white smoke came out, and even the wooden board inside could not penetrate it. Instead, the shooters of the 414th Regiment outside the old green battalion seized the opportunity and knocked over a few of the soldiers of the National Construction Army who showed more bodies above the wall.

Sixty-three hand cannons, twelve in a group, the hand cannon shells have been bore, the springs have been depressed, and they can be fired with a pull of the leather rope. As Liang Yisheng issued an order on Diaodou, the herald in the passenger cab relayed the order loudly, and the teams complied with it.

Order: The first group, according to their own ideas, fired freely at the Founding Army on the fence and shooting at the lookout.

Twelve shells went straight to the wall.

Hand cannon is a good thing, as early as the 23rd year of the Republic of China, the Hanyang Arsenal of the National Government began to copy the Japanese Taisho ten-year grenadier and its ammunition, but the quantity is limited, only for a small number of troops and military education institutions research and use. At the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the grenadier canister, which was ignored or even despised by the Chinese army, posed a threat to the Chinese army far more than the 38 rifle, which reached a distance of nearly 200 meters. The Chinese army was often fiercely attacked by Japanese grenadiers during defensive operations, but there was no effective means of returning fire. In the 27th year of the Republic of China, the Ordnance Industry Administration ordered the preparatory department of the Shaanxi No. 1 Arsenal, which had been moved to Chongqing, to develop similar weapons on the basis of the Japanese-style Taisho 10-year grenadier canister, and the goal of "treating others the way they would be" had been achieved. Researchers led by Jiang Yuanfang worked day and night to tackle key problems in various ways, and finally tried to produce a new type of grenadier based on the Taisho 10-year style and improved in terms of technology and individual structure. The First Arsenal worked overtime to produce and quickly assembled the troops.

The grenadier is the essence of the infantry, and hard training can enable them to reach the level of no missing bullets, especially the firing of fixed targets.

The 12 shells of the first group landed exactly behind the wall, and immediately swept away the Jianguo Army, which was concentrating on shooting and watching. Liang Yisheng, who was on the lookout fight, saw it clearly and praised loudly, and the herald soldiers also passed the praise to the grenadier position word for word, which made the grenadier players excited.

Just after the wall was broken, Liang Yisheng's order arrived again, the second group, in the direction of ten and a half, at a distance of one hundred and twenty meters, and a range of five meters in diameter, launched.

Twelve shells landed in front of the canteen in the old green camp almost at the same time, and a group of Jianguo troops who had gathered in front of the canteen to rest were suddenly wiped out.

The next time was a rabbit and a fox run, and the founding army in the old green camp was hit with extreme precision, as long as the number of people gathered was more than five, it would definitely attract twelve shells, without exception. There are no blind spots under the fighting, and there are no dead ends in the old green camp. The soldiers of the founding army shouted for their lives, wailing that they did not want to die like this, and the cries, begs for mercy, and the sound of choking the earth were incessant, and the explosions of grenadiers and shells were overwhelming.

At this moment, an officer rushed out of the barracks, shouted as he ran towards the west gate, and put a white undershirt on his head. Hearing the shouts of the officers, the soldiers in the old green battalion who could still move all took action, threw away the guns in their hands, untied their armed belts, raised their hands high, and walked to the west gate. The various voices of the soldiers of the founding army gradually converged into two rhythmic words: surrender, surrender. Liang Yisheng told the heralds under him that the car drove away, the grenadiers left, and a company of brothers came over to accept the surrender.

The west gate opened, and under the guidance of a white sweatshirt, the first battalion of the Lujiang garrison surrendered, and the guns of the old green battalion came to an end.

In just half an hour, the old green battalion was taken, seven of its own wounded, no casualties, one hundred and seventy-one prisoners, and the rest were either dead or wounded. When the news reached Yefu Mountain, the 138th Division was jubilant, Li Benyi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and his eyes changed from his previous closeness to admiration, his little brother can really know people well, use a Liang Yisheng, and immediately achieve the purpose of the battle.

Gong Qingyuan was overjoyed, and he was victorious, a good omen, and said to Mo Di with a smile: "It seems that Liang Yisheng is really your disciple in the room, and the use of the tower can be described as superb." I remember that the last time I was in Hefei, I also used a tower, but that time it was a virtual use, and the tower was used to draw out the Japanese artillery array, and this time it was completely practical, and it was clearly bullying the door. ”

"That's because I knew that the first battalion of the Lujiang Garrison Regiment had no artillery, and if there was artillery, I didn't dare to send it to the door to be bombed." Mo Di said.

"Next, I want to hear Tianzong's opinion, will the 414 regiment enter the Lujiang River or come over to join the 413 regiment?" After completing the first phase of the operation, Gong Qingyuan had no bottom in his heart for the next work.

"Let Wei Jiebo interrogate the prisoners first, I want to know where the second battalion of the Lujiang Garrison Regiment is." Mo Di said: "The first battalion has been cleaned up, the third battalion is in Shengqiao with Wang Zhanlin, where is the second battalion?" I don't know! I don't want to be in the middle of a fierce battle, and a strange army will come out, and that will be killed. ”

Gong Qingyuan nodded. No wonder he was able to be invincible in the Anqing area and kill invincible opponents, not because of how strong his troops were, but because he comprehensively considered all the factors of the battle, and would not give the opponent a chance, let alone give himself a chance. Immediately send a telegram to the 414th regiment, asking the other side to figure out the situation in the shortest possible time.

"Tianzong, I got the news just now, Yan Junlong has arrived at Guanyin Temple with the Ye Bu Group, but this time they were ordered to rush over after sending grain and grass to Wanfo Lake, and the whole group was almost bare-handed, but I was afraid that it would not be useful." Li Benyi said.

"Some people are still afraid of not having weapons!" Mo Di said with a smile: "The old green battalion that was cleaned up before was the first battalion of the founding army, and the captured weapons and equipment should be enough for one battalion of the field supplement regiment, as far as I know, Wang Zhanlin's garrison regiment is full, and it is a Japanese weapon, a color of 38 big covers, don't tell me, Yan Junlong's field supplement regiment will only use the official one, not the 38 style." ”

"Hehe, Yan Junlong's field supplement group is not official, they are all made in Hanyang, and they are only stronger than Longzhou Kuaili." Li Benyi said with a red face. The 138th Division, all of which are mainly made in Hanyang, is formal and is also a legendary German weapon, which is not something you can have. It was because he looked down on Hanyang and Gongxian that he switched to using Japanese style, and although he lost the supply in the rear because of this, his performance was still greatly improved. Because the 138th Division relied on supplies from the rear, it had little interest in Japanese weapons, so there would be a situation where there were guns in front of it but bare-handed.

"Brother Li Guang, regardless of Japanese weapons and moral weapons, those that can kill the enemy are good weapons, and in a land like ours, getting supplies through combat is also a good means, and it should not be excluded." Mo Di said: "The last time in Lu'an, there was a situation in the Yan Seng Martial Forces, when the upper hand was over, the ammunition ran out, the whole army retreated, the Japanese army was invincible and won, and our army was defeated without defeat. Our 176th Division, not only the field supplement regiment is all-day equipment, but the other three regiments also have one battalion of Japanese weapons, just to prevent this situation. ”

"Makes sense!" Li Ben nodded and said: "We are already behind enemy lines, and the supply is indeed better than capture, Tianzhong, you are right, through this operation, the field supplement regiment will be armed." I've been regretting that I should have snatched the vole in Xu Ping's hands and became the head of the field supplement group, only the vole can learn a few skills from you. I looked at the battle examples of the 176th Regiment, all of them are because of the elusiveness of your field supplement regiment to make great achievements, relatively speaking, the field supplement regiment of the 138th Division is weak! Dead horses as live horse doctors, Tianzhong, during this time, you use dim sum to help me build a usable field supplement group, brother, I accept your love. ”

Mo Di nodded and said, "I'll do my best!" ”

At this time, Gong Qingyuan ran over, holding a telegram in his hand, and said excitedly: "I have found the second battalion of the Lujiang Regiment!" ”

Li Benyi took the telegram and glanced at it, and smiled: "This Wang Zhanlin is really a soldier for the people." ”

Mo Di took the telegram, glanced at it, and said: "Everyone's thinking is similar, Wang Zhanlin is no exception, we are in Yuexi, all the security is in charge of the field supplement regiment, and even the business is taken care of by nineteen military stations. Lujiang does not have as powerful a heavy logistics force as our Yuexi, so we can only divide one battalion, and Wang Zhanlin can be regarded as exhausted. ”

The telegram said that the second battalion of the Lujiang garrison regiment was completely dismantled and broken into pieces. In addition, the director of the grain bureau and the director of the finance and taxation office are all officers of the second battalion, and the five platoons are stationed in Baihu, Nihe, Shilongqiao, Luohe and other places, and other personnel serve as police officers, maintain law and order, collect taxes and fees, and manage the market.

Knowing the whereabouts of the second battalion, Mo Di was really relieved, there is no hidden opponent, everything is on the bright side, it will be easy to do!

"Division, 414th Regiment, are you coming to Yefu Mountain to join us next?" Gong Qingyuan asked.

"What do you think?" Li Benyi asked rhetorically.

"I think it's better to take Lujiang first. That's right behind us, and we can't leave a needle behind us, and we could be caught off guard at any moment. Gong Qingyuan said: "Although the second battalion of the Lujiang garrison has been dismantled, it is small and hurtful!" ”

Li Benyi completely agreed with Gong Qingyuan's opinion, and said: "Lujiang City is an ancient city, with high walls and deep ditches, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am worried that if we take Lujiang, our losses will not be small, and a disabled 414 regiment is not conducive to the next battle, and this matter must be discussed in the long run." ”

Mo Di raised his head and said to Li Benyi: Brother Li Guang, let the 414th Regiment stand by in place, and the Field Supplement Regiment will run and move forward, and immediately converge with the old green camp, I promise not to lose a single soldier and take Lujiang.

Don't lose a single soldier and take Lujiang? Li Benyi looked at Mo Di, and couldn't help but have a suspicion, praise you a few words, you still think you have really become a god!
