Chapter 1287 The Division Commander’s Overreaction
The battle ended very quickly.
Half of the little Japs who were left behind to guard the stronghold were gathered in the running building.
The five soldiers from the security squad rushed into the gun building and killed everyone they saw. They used grenades to blow up places where the guns could not reach them.
In less than a minute, all the ten-meter-high turrets were cleared.
As for the scattered little Japs scattered in the stronghold, facing the dozens of soldiers commanded by Huang Yu himself, they had no place to escape and were quickly beaten into pieces.
"Captain..." The guard squad leader who was the first to enter the stronghold rushed to Huang Yu with excitement on his face.
"The Kwantung Army is indeed richer than the North China Front Army..."
"We captured a small Japanese stronghold in North China. It would be good if we could seize 10,000 rounds of ammunition..."
"This stronghold at our feet has a total reserve of more than 30,000 rounds of rifle bullets, and we have also seized more than 300 artillery shells, 6,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets, 300 grenades, and 500 kilograms of explosives..."
"The stronghold's warehouse is also filled with all kinds of supplies. The food alone contains 20,000 kilograms, which is enough for the little devils to eat for a whole winter. We also found hundreds of kilograms of frozen food in the warehouse, all filled with big fat pigs."
"correct……"
"We also seized a light machine gun that is different from the crooked gun..."
"They are all piled up in the ammunition depot. There are four in total... They look like crooked guns, but they are indeed loaded with magazines..."
The guard squad leader said as he took out a light machine gun that was still smeared with gun oil.
The appearance looks similar to the crooked handle, the only difference is the way of feeding ammunition.
Huang Yu immediately thought of the "Type 96" light machine gun, a light machine gun modified on the basis of the crooked handle.
In the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, Japan also discovered various problems with the crooked gun on the battlefield. In order to produce a light machine gun that could rival the Czech-made light machine gun, and to solve the various problems of the crooked gun on the battlefield, the Type 96 light machine gun was conceived.
born.
Compared with the crooked handle, this machine gun is more adaptable to the battlefield and will not jam during shooting. It is a light machine gun that is almost comparable to the one made in the Czech Republic.
If all the crooked weapons equipped by the Beishang detachment can be replaced with Type 96 light machine guns, the overall combat effectiveness of the Beishang detachment can be increased by at least half.
His face immediately lit up with joy, and he excitedly ordered: "Have any mules, horses or horses been captured..."
"With so many trophies seized and the wind and snow outside so heavy, if there were no mules, horses and horses, and all the trophies had to be transported back by manpower, the troops would definitely suffer non-combat attrition."
"Ten horses were seized near the warehouse, but no mules or horses..."
Just when Huang Yu was about to say something too little, Duan Peng ran over at some point and immediately interrupted: "Captain..."
"We seized a large number of horses and mules from the immigrants in the settlement points..."
"Don't say that the little devil's stronghold only has 20,000 jins of grain. I can transport even 50,000 jins of grain back to him..."
"The expatriates in the settlements are so damn cruel. They stay at home and eat delicious food and drink spicy food, while our people stay at home and suffer from the cold and hunger..."
"If it weren't for the food we distributed, many people in the settlement point we captured would have starved to death this winter..."
"Excluding the grain distributed to the people, we kept 20,000 catties for ourselves, and also seized 15,000 yen worth, gold, and oceans..."
"There are a total of 128 mules and horses, plus the mules and horses we brought ourselves, we can definitely send all the loot back to the secret camp..."
After hearing this, Huang Yu stopped being impatient and answered confidently: "Then hurry up and transfer the loot..."
"Didn't we just seize five hundred kilograms of high explosives from the stronghold?"
"Keep three hundred kilograms and send them back to the station, use two hundred kilograms to make twenty explosive bags, and continue blasting the railway for me..."
"Duan Peng, go there in person and try to blast another 500 meters of railway line before we retreat..."
"It is already very difficult to build railways in the dead of winter. I want to make it impossible for the Kwantung Army to use railways to transport troops in the next month or two."
"The Kwantung Army's southward reinforcements cannot enter North China via the railway, so they cannot launch retaliatory raids against the base area in the center of the wing. The commander who stays behind in the base area will have more time to expand and train troops."
…………
Jinzhou Kwantung Army Division Headquarters.
Until dawn, the Kwantung Army division commander stationed here did not receive any news that the railway was bombed or that the Shishan stronghold and the settlement point were attacked.
The chief of staff received the news just before lunch.
Without delaying for a second, he went straight to the division commander.
Regardless of whether he had eaten well or not, he directly reported: "Your Excellency, Division Commander...there is an accident on the railway line..."
"The Shishan settlement in the northeast of Jinzhou was attacked by unknown enemies, the expatriate area was breached, and all the expatriate armed forces were wiped out, leaving only a dozen old, weak, women, and children."
"After the enemy retreated, they immediately sent people to the nearest Shishan stronghold for help..."
"As a result, the stronghold was also breached, the entire defense force was destroyed, and all the weapons, ammunition and supplies we stored in the stronghold were lost..."
"and……"
Seeing that the division commander's face was getting darker and darker, the chief of staff was a little afraid to report, and his voice became softer and softer, until it turned into a stutter in the end.
If I remember correctly, there have been no resistance forces in Jinzhou for a long time, let alone a vicious incident such as a stronghold attack.
The division commander in front of him had just taken over as the commander of Jinzhou, and a stronghold in his area was breached, and the entire garrison was destroyed... This was a slap in the face, and it was hard not to be angry.
But after all, he was the commander of a division with heavy troops, and he would not express his anger in front of his subordinates.
He stared at the chief of staff and asked: "And what..."
"The railway near Shishan stronghold was also bombed..."
"According to reports from the settlement site... the railway line that was bombed exceeded 800 meters... it was destroyed along with the roadbed. The rails and sleepers were all destroyed and cannot be repaired. They must be rebuilt..."
"It's winter now...it's very difficult to build the railway..."
"Based on a length of 800 meters, the section of railway near Shishan stronghold will take at least 40 days to be built."
"idiot……"
The division commander had no mission for the moment. He slammed his clenched fist on the table in front of him and cursed loudly.
"Who did it..."
"I must cut them into pieces..."
"All reconnaissance troops are dispatched, we must find these enemies..."
"The 109th Infantry Regiment is ready to attack... As soon as the reconnaissance force locks the enemy's position, the 109th Infantry Regiment will attack immediately and give me the shortest possible time to eliminate them..."
The chief of staff was startled by the division commander's overreaction and quickly reminded: "Division commander..."
"Although I don't know who this mysterious opponent is, the number of troops will definitely not be too large, otherwise our intelligence personnel will not be clueless... Would it be too exaggerated to dispatch a main force to deal with them...
