Chapter 282: Return to Jing County
readx;? The road leaving the Jurong base was all mountain roads, and five trucks were slowly driving on the mountain road, the two trucks in front were the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion led by Wei Changxing, the middle two vehicles were mainly medical personnel, and there were several soldiers from the guard battalion protecting these medical personnel. On the last car www.biquge.info pen & fun > pavilion was Wang Haitao and the remaining soldiers of the guard battalion.
After the five cars pulled away, they bypassed the checkpoints in Jurong County and the city before dawn, and after dawn, Wei Changxing chose a remote mountain village and stopped the car. From Jurong to Lishui Town is a 30-kilometer mountain road, this mountain road can only accommodate one truck, in order to avoid encounters with the Japanese army, Wei Changxing chose to rest in seclusion during the day.
When it was completely dark, the five trucks drove up the mountain road one after another. This kind of road is generally not passed by Japanese troops at night, so the truck turned on its headlights and soon arrived outside Lishui Town, where it was only necessary to bypass Lishui Town and walk on the road when they retreated from Nanjing last time. After touching a Japanese outpost outside Lishui Town, the truck finally passed through Lishui Town.
The road behind this has been walked once, and with the trucks of the reconnaissance battalion leading the way, there will be no danger. After several days of day and night, the convoy arrived outside the town of Sungai outside Xuancheng. The last time I passed here, there was only one Japanese outpost in Shuangxi Town, and there were more than ten Japanese puppet soldiers in it.
However, this time, on the mountain pass outside Sungai Town, the Japanese army actually set up a stronghold, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion found that this stronghold not only had turrets, trenches, and barbed wire, but also a Japanese squad and a puppet army squad were stationed together. And this mountain pass in Shuangxi Town is the only way back to Jing County, if you detour, you have to go back, and then go through Nanling County to Wuhu County and then to Jing County.
This road is not only a matter of more than ten days to walk, but also Nanling County and Wuhu County will have Japanese strongholds. Wang Haitao knew very well that this was the Japanese army's attempt to trap Jing County's own troops when they were unable to conquer Jing County, so they would set up strongholds on several major roads. Wang Haitao called Wei Changxing and Tang Donglin together to discuss what to do now.
If there were no medical personnel in the team, this would be easy to do, with the skills of the three trucks and the soldiers, just rush over, but now there are dozens of medical personnel in the team who have little combat effectiveness, and once these people have losses, it will directly affect Wang Haitao's idea of setting up a regular hospital in Jing County.
According to Wang Haitao's idea, he allocated this stronghold, with three groups of more than 20 reconnaissance battalion soldiers and more than 30 guard battalion soldiers, and he has all the light and heavy firepower here, and there are even dozens of 120 heavy mortars in the storage ring, not to mention light and heavy machine guns. Even if the mortar is not very easy to deal with the Japanese turret, there are not more than ten 40 bazookas, this thing is a sharp weapon against the turret.
There is no problem with the stronghold of Qianggong, the problem is that once the battle goes on for too long, the Japanese army in Xuancheng will definitely go out of the city to reinforce. This Shuangxi town is only ten kilometers away from Xuancheng County, once the Japanese reinforcements in Xuancheng City, I am afraid that it will not take an hour to reach here, at that time, although they are not afraid of the Japanese troops who come up with their own firepower, but the loss is inevitable.
After the three of them discussed for a while, Wang Haitao decided to get rid of this stronghold. The final decision was that a combat group of the reconnaissance battalion plus 10 soldiers of the guard battalion carrying two mortars, a rocket launcher, four light machine guns and a Type 69 heavy machine gun bypassed the stronghold from the mountain road, and then set up an ambush between the stronghold and the county seat of Xuancheng to block the Japanese troops who came out from Xuancheng County to reinforce them.
The rest of the soldiers, in addition to leaving six soldiers from the guard battalion to protect the medical staff, were led by Wei Changxing and Tang Donglin to clear the Japanese stronghold. They were equipped with four 40 rocket launchers, six 120 heavy mortars, four Type 69 heavy machine guns, and eight light machine guns. In addition to the sniper rifles used by the snipers, the soldiers all used 54-type submachine guns and 20-round barge guns.
It was eleven o'clock in the night, and the attack on the stronghold would begin at two o'clock in the evening, and the fighters who were fighting the attack had three hours to make a detour and set up a blocking position. With the light of the turret fire as a signal, the blocking troops can retreat in the direction of Jing County on their own after seeing the firelight, and all the troops will converge in our occupied area in Yangliu Town.
After the combat mission was issued, the soldiers who were going to fight the blockade received all their equipment, and under the leadership of Liu Yi, the platoon commander of the guard battalion, they walked towards the mountains and forests on the side of the road. The group was led by a group of reconnaissance battalions, and although there were a little more heavy weapons, it was only a few kilometers of mountain roads, and an hour's march should be able to reach the destination.
When the paramedics on board learned that a combat mission was imminent, four doctors were able to hold their ground, while two surgeons were preparing surgical instruments and supplies in case the wounded fighters needed to be treated. Among those nurses, a dozen or so male nurses were bent on going to the front line, and they were all looking for Wang Haitao and asking Wang Haitao to issue them guns to participate in the battle.
Wang Haitao's face sank at that time and he said: "Nonsense! You are nurses, you have received several days of tactical training, and you know how to shoot, do you think you can go to the battlefield? You go to the front line will only increase the burden on the soldiers on the front line, and our battle this time is to be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and we want to destroy the Japanese strongholds in the shortest possible time. I order all of you to stand guard and not to leave the car more than twenty meters. ”
Although Wang Haitao said this, considering that in case of any accidents, these nurses had no ability to protect themselves at all, so they still issued a shell gun to each of the more than ten male nurses. The nurses were playing with the shell guns in their hands, and the soldiers who were responsible for protecting them were instructing them on how to use them.
At two o'clock in the night, there was silence in the darkness around them. The two groups of the reconnaissance battalion first quietly approached the Japanese stronghold, and after cutting the barbed wire, the soldiers dodged the light of the searchlight on the turret and reached into the stronghold. A few minutes later, the sentry outside the stronghold was silently eliminated, and several snipers were in place. Just as the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion touched the door of the turret, several puppet soldiers came out of the turret.
These puppet soldiers should have come to change the guard, so they suddenly met the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion. The puppet army was stunned when they saw the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, and the leader asked, "Who is it? What are you doing?" When the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion saw that the sneak attack could not be completed, they raised their hands and swept away a bullet at several puppet soldiers.
Although several puppet soldiers were killed, the sound of gunfire alarmed the enemy in the turret. As soon as the sniper heard the gunshot, he raised his hand and knocked out the searchlight on the turret. At this time, there was chaos in the turret, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion had already hidden in place the sandbag fortifications outside the turret, and sealed the exit of the turret.
After a while, in the firing hole on the turret, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns opened fire, and although the target could not be found in the darkness, several light and heavy machine guns still blocked the open space dozens of meters in front of the turret. The fighters of the guard battalion had already entered their respective positions when the reconnaissance group was moving towards the stronghold, and the 120 heavy mortars had been set up, and the light and heavy machine guns had also been prepared. At this time, the flame spewed from the muzzle of the Japanese machine gun in the firing hole of the turret was the target, and the light and heavy machine guns of the guard battalion also began to suppress the fire.
When the mortar shells fell on the roof of the turret, the Japanese squad leader in the turret knew that it was not good, although the Chinese army outside did not know how many people, but with a large number of machine guns and artillery, they knew that not only would there be no fewer people, but also the main force of the Chinese army. The squad leader immediately used the radio to ask for help from the Japanese troops in Xuancheng.
The guard battalion fired several shots at the turret with heavy mortars, but the curved guns of mortars were indeed of limited destructive power against such a strong fortification as the turret. But the guard battalion had another killing weapon in their hands--- the four-zero bazooka. Some fighters took out the 40 rocket launcher, loaded it with armor-piercing shells, and aimed at the firing hole of the turret more than 100 meters away.
Four bazookas, four armor-piercing shells, two of which hit the wall of the turret, blew a large hole in the wall, and the other two hit directly on the shooting hole, not only blowing up the shooting hole, but also the machine gun behind the shooting hole was dumbfired. After several rounds in succession, not only were several of the firing holes of the turret muted, but several large holes appeared in the walls of the turret.
At this time, there was an explosion under the turret, and it turned out that the fighters of the reconnaissance group blew open the gate of the turret with a grenade, and as soon as the gate was blown open, the reconnaissance group rushed into the turret while facing the gate of the turret. Half an hour after the battle, the reconnaissance group and the fighters of the guard battalion captured the stronghold.
Except for a dozen or so puppet soldiers in the stronghold, all the rest were killed. The soldiers signaled to the trucks, and the five trucks quickly drove under the turret. Two of the soldiers who had been lightly wounded were treated by paramedics, and the rest of the soldiers cleaned the battlefield and loaded all the useful things onto the truck.
Finally, the soldiers lit a fire in the turret, and five trucks with the prisoners drove in the direction of Yangliu Town in the light of the fire. Outside Yangliu Town, the soldiers met the sentry of the Independent Brigade, and when the sentry saw Wei Changxing in the first car, he knew that it was the military seat that had returned, so he not only let him go immediately, but also hurriedly sent someone to report the news in the town.
After the convoy entered the town, under the guidance of the soldiers stationed there, it came to the command post of the third company of the first battalion of the independent regiment of the Yangliu town garrison. After seeing Wang Haitao who got out of the car, he ran forward, saluted Wang Haitao, and then said: "Report to the military seat, the third company of the first battalion of the independent regiment was ordered to garrison Yangliu Town, and Zhang Wu, the commander of the third company, reported to the military seat. ”
Wang Haitao replied with a salute and said: "Company Commander Zhang, arrange for the soldiers and medical personnel to rest, I still have to wait for the detachment to come back, and you will send a telegram to Jing County early tomorrow morning, and tell the deputy brigade commander Li and the chief of military staff of Jing County that I have successfully returned to Jing County." Zhang Wuli said rightly: "It's a military seat, the humble post will arrange it immediately, the military seat will go to my command post to sit down first, and as soon as the soldiers of the blocking detachment come back, the humble post will immediately come to report to the military seat." Wang Haitao nodded and walked into the command post of the third company.
