467, the guerrillas specializing in fighting the puppet army
Big left?
A mortar?
The soldiers around him couldn't help but laugh.
Comrade Xiao Yang!
What is it that limits your imagination?
That's the Japanese invader Dazuo!
He is a senior official at the brigade commander level! Even bigger than the brigade commander!
The captain of the Japanese leftist alliance commanded more than 3,000 people!
In a head-on battle, the national army's several divisions and 20 to 30,000 people would be no match for the Japanese invaders.
Even a brigade of our Eighth Route Army cannot fight head-on against a regiment of the Japanese invaders.
Of course, that was before.
Now……
"Do you know how many mortars you can replace?"
"Two doors?"
"Guess the big one!"
"Three doors?"
"Keep guessing bigger! Guess the biggest number!"
"Four doors?"
"Ten gates!"
"What?"
"If you kill a Japanese invader, you will be rewarded with at least ten mortars!"
"ah?"
Xiao Yang was shocked.
Ten mortars!
Ten doors! Not four! God! So many!
can not imagine!
Incredible!
Isn't he just a Japanese invader?
so smart?
It seems pretty powerful...
"Cuckoo!"
"Cuckoo!"
Suddenly, the cuckoo's call came from the distance.
Three long and one short, very rhythmic.
Lao Fu and Lao Yang looked at each other.
It's one of our own!
There are other guerrilla groups operating nearby!
"Cuckoo!"
"Cuckoo!"
Lao Fu responded immediately.
The sounds are three short and one long. This is the code for contact.
Even if the Japanese invaders knew about it, it would be useless because as long as they entered the guerrillas' range of activities, they would be noticed immediately.
For experienced hunters like them, the little devil's fake guerrillas could not escape their notice at all.
"Cuckoo!"
"Cuckoo!"
Sure enough, I got in touch quickly.
Then, guerrillas from afar approached them.
"you……"
The old man was a little surprised.
However, the number of people on the other side was very large. There were hundreds of people.
The equipment is also very sophisticated.
Not only are there semi-automatic rifles, but also rotary light machine guns, and mortars.
There are even people dragging three heavy machine guns with wheels. It is said to be called Deshka. The name is too hard to remember. Everyone calls it a two-wheeled machine gun. If it has two wheels, isn't it a two-wheeled machine gun?
"Old Zhong, are you going to fight a positional battle with the Japanese?" Lao Fu asked doubtfully.
Even the heavy machine guns were pulled up, it was obviously not guerrilla warfare.
This heavy machine gun is very powerful, but it is also very heavy and cannot be disassembled. It can only be dragged along.
Unlike a mortar, it can be dismantled and carried by three people.
"of course not."
The guerrilla leader over there, Zhong, responded.
Lao Fu:???
Lao Yang:???
What is that to be done?
"Commander Zhang said, let us kill more puppet troops and powerful landlords who are clinging to the Japanese invaders. We will destroy the foundation of the Japanese invaders' rule."
"Kill the puppet troops?"
"Yes! There are reactionary local tyrants and evil gentry! Reactionary landlords are powerful!"
"What did Staff Officer Zhang say?"
"right!"
Lao Zhong answered in the affirmative.
Indeed, this reminder was sent by Zhang Chu himself.
At the beginning, Zhang Chu asked for the heads of Japanese soldiers to be exchanged for weapons and ammunition. One Japanese soldier was exchanged for a box of bullets.
The purpose is of course to kill as many Japanese as possible.
The number of Japs is limited. Kill one and you will lose one. Kill two and you will lose a pair.
Only later did I realize that what I did was wrong.
In other words, not entirely right.
The Japanese invaders are hateful.
Traitors are just as hateful.
Those local tyrants and evil gentry who surrendered to the Japanese invaders are just as despicable.
They are the biggest accomplices of the invaders!
It was impossible for the Japanese invaders to directly control so many civilians. Their military strength was really limited.
They must rely on traitors among the Chinese to maintain their rule over a vast area. In other words, traitors are a very important part of the Japanese rule. Therefore, it is very important to eliminate these traitors.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these traitor teams is far different from that of the Japanese invaders.
The combat level of the guerrillas is not high either. A head-on confrontation with the Japanese invaders will definitely result in greater casualties. Even if the equipment is very good, it is impossible to compare with the Japanese invaders in terms of combat skills. If you are going to fight against the puppet troops, fight against the local tyrants and evil gentry.
, that would be much safer.
Once all the reactionary traitors are eliminated, the Japanese invaders will no longer be able to effectively manage them.
In fact, after 1944 and 1945, the Japanese invaders in some places lived a very miserable life and almost had to "beg" to survive.
Some people may find it very absurd. However, it is all true.
Because the Japanese invaders after 45 years were already in the sunset and gradually dying out.
In some areas, the Japanese invaders were seriously short of troops and could no longer maintain effective rule. The Chinese people around them did not listen to the Japanese invaders and were not afraid of the Japanese invaders. The Japanese invaders were blocked in gun towers by the anti-Japanese armed forces and were in constant panic all day long.
The turrets will not grow food on their own, but they dare not come out to grab it because they will be beaten if they come out.
Without food, you will starve to death.
The Japanese invaders did not want to starve to death.
What to do in the end?
We can only reach an agreement secretly with the anti-Japanese armed forces and exchange labor for food.
The Japanese invaders put down their weapons, walked out of the gun towers, helped the common people with work, and then exchanged them for the common people's food. Then they managed to survive.
Fortunately, on August 15, 1945, the Japanese Emperor announced his unconditional surrender. Otherwise, these Japanese invaders would have become long-term workers for the Chinese.
It's not yet 45 years.
However, in some places, such an atmosphere can also be created in advance.
Because the main force of the Japanese invaders had been drafted to fight the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army. In many places, only the puppet troops maintained their rule. Then there were the traitor maintenance committees and so on. It was just right to use the guerrillas to clean them up.
"Old Zhong, where are you going to fight?"
"Maple Bridge Town."
"oh?"
Lao Fu and Lao Yang's eyes lit up.
Maple Bridge Town is an important stronghold of the puppet army! There are three to four hundred puppet troops stationed there.
It turned out that there was still a small group of Japanese troops stationed there. Later, the Japanese invaders were transferred away, leaving only the puppet troops.
"Is it possible?" Lao Fu immediately expressed concern.
Although it is garrisoned by puppet troops, there are still some gun towers.
Those turrets are not too afraid of mortars. Even if there are mortars, it will be difficult to take them down.
"Yes, the Japs have gun towers..."
"So, we brought this!"
Lao Zhong pointed at the two-round machine gun.
Lao Fu:???
Lao Yang:???
This is a machine gun! Can it hit turrets?
"Staff Zhang said that this kind of two-wheeled machine gun is enough to deal with ordinary Japanese artillery towers."
"Yeah?"
"Isn't it true that we will know it when we get to the battlefield?"
"Okay, let's go too!"
"Let's go too!"
Lao Yang and Lao Fu took action immediately.
Of course they couldn't miss such a major event as the attack on Maple Bridge Town.
This is a head-to-head battle.
If they can complete the combat mission successfully, it means that these guerrillas are also very powerful.
If Maple Bridge Town cannot be taken...
That's okay. At best, it's a temporary withdrawal and a comeback next time.
Lao Yang is especially confident.
Didn't he accidentally kill a Japanese invader?
If I don’t want to exchange for a mortar but want to exchange for a field gun, can I also exchange for one?
If there is a field gun, the Japanese aggressor artillery tower is not a problem at all.
Immediately march to Maple Bridge Town.
Soon after arriving at Fengqiao Town, we found that the puppet troops here were already well prepared.
The puppet army probably also received the news. They did not dare to neglect. They gathered all their troops and stood firm to wait for reinforcements. No, they held firm. There were probably no reinforcements.
"one two three……"
"There are five turrets in total!"
"Yes! Five!"
Both Lao Fu and Lao Yang were a little worried.
With so many turrets, it is not easy to attack unless there are direct-fire guns.
Lao Yang decided to exchange for direct-fire guns.
I need a 75mm mountain gun!
Over there, Lao Zhong and his men loaded up the Deshka heavy machine guns. The distance was about three hundred meters.
"Da da da……"
"Da da da……"
The puppet troops took the lead in shooting.
They only have light machine guns. No heavy machine guns or mortars.
The Japanese will not equip them with these weapons. If they are defeated by Tubal, they will all become the Eighth Route Army.
"Fire!"
Old Zhong gave the order.
Three 12.7mm heavy machine guns opened fire fiercely.
The bullets hit the outside of the turret, making holes one after another. Some of the bullets penetrated the wall.
"puff……"
"ah……"
The puppet soldiers inside let out a short scream. Then it stopped suddenly.
That is a 12.7 mm caliber bullet! Even if it penetrates a wall, it is still extremely lethal.
As long as you are hit, there is basically no chance to scream.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Tu tu tu tu..."
The Deshka heavy machine gun fired fiercely.
In a short time, the puppet troops in the first gun tower had almost suffered casualties.
This kind of brick-concrete turret cannot block 12.7mm suicide shots. It has almost 100% penetration. It has extremely high lethality to the personnel inside.
On the surface, the turret is still intact. Like a sieve, it is riddled with holes.
If Zhang Chu were here, he would definitely order the heavy machine gun to continue firing until the turret collapses.
The Deshka heavy machine gun is also a powerful weapon for demolishing houses.
However, the prerequisite is that a large number of bullets are needed. But the guerrillas do not have that many bullets.
Guyuan has plenty of bullets, but the guerrillas can't carry that many.
12.7mm caliber bullets are very heavy. They can't carry too many.
so……
It can only kill the defenders inside. It cannot smash the gun tower.
However, this is enough.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Tu tu tu tu..."
The heavy machine gun continued to fire.
The puppet troops in the second gun tower gradually suffered all their casualties.
"Damn it!"
"Why do guerrillas have anti-aircraft machine guns?"
"Is Tubalu crazy?"
"All anti-aircraft machine guns are allocated to the guerrillas?"
"Do you want to be so cruel..."
At this moment, in Fengqiao Town, the deputy commander of the puppet army was in panic all day long.
