There are more than a dozen settlement sites gathered around Xijiagou. Among them, there are five settlement sites controlled by Japanese expatriates alone. The total number of civilians exceeds 8,000...
It can provide millions of kilograms of grain to the Kwantung Army every year.
In order to better control this area, the Kwantung Army originally stationed a reinforced team and a company of the Puppet Manchurian Army in Laixijiagou.
In order to reinforce North China, many local troops were withdrawn.
Considering that Xijiagou has no other mineral resources besides growing grain, and is not an important transportation thoroughfare or military town, the Kwantung Army in the town was directly transferred away, leaving only one company of the Puppet Manchurian Army to maintain public security in the area.
Of course, in addition to this apparently traitorous force, there were nearly a hundred armed men in the settlements controlled by Japanese expatriates.
They are well-equipped, and although their overall combat effectiveness is not as good as the main force of the Kwantung Army, they still have no problem dealing with the puppet Manchurian Army.
With them scattered throughout the country to monitor various settlement sites and the puppet Manchurian Army, the Japanese were not afraid of the local Chinese causing trouble.
At ten o'clock in the evening, about one company of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared outside the Puppet Manchuria Army's garrison.
Without any warning, without even the most basic probing attack, a general attack was launched directly.
"Boom boom..."
Two special-purpose grenades hit the machine gun position at the gate of the station accurately.
The fire splashed, and the two machine gun teams hiding behind the bunker were immediately blown to pieces, and even the machine gun bunker made of sandbags was razed to the ground.
"Da da da……"
The sound of machine gun fire sounded on the battlefield at the same time, and the two sentries guarding the gate of the station were instantly beaten into pieces...
"Rush..."
Dozens of soldiers who had reached the door not far away jumped up from the ground and charged forward with rifles with bayonets in hand.
The ones who charged the most were several machine gunners.
He held the machine gun in his arms and used it as a submachine gun. He charged forward while pulling the trigger. Bullets spurted out from the barrel and flew into the Puppet Manchurian Army station in a fan shape...
"Enemy attack..."
The Puppet Manchuria Army was basically trained by Jaaps, although most of the people in it were just for a living and did not really work for the Japs and become traitors.
But the fighting ability is still there.
As soon as gunshots and explosions were heard at the door, the soldiers hiding in the barracks got up from their beds. They didn't even wear military uniforms. They picked up the weapons leaning against the wall and rushed outside.
Although they do not sacrifice their lives for the Japs, they are still afraid of death. When faced with an attack, their instinctive reaction is to prepare for battle.
No matter who the enemy is attacking them, save their lives first.
"Da da da……"
The gunshots at the gate of the station were getting louder and louder, and the puppet Manchurian Army soldiers who had just woken up were becoming more and more anxious.
Some soldiers had already picked up their weapons and rushed outside, trying to figure out who the opponent was who attacked them.
As soon as he opened the door, a barrage of light machine gun bullets flew into the house.
Seeing their comrades being separated from life and death in the blink of an eye by being beaten into a sieve at the door, the Puppet Manchurian Army soldiers in the room became even more panicked.
Some people were lying on the ground, some were hiding by the windows, but no one went to the door.
The company commander of the Puppet Manchuria Army was a die-hard traitor, otherwise the Kwantung Army would not have let him lead the army and manage such a large area alone.
He reacted very quickly in the face of battle. He got up from the bed and got ready for battle with his gun in hand. Then he bent over and reached his desk, grabbed the phone and called the county garrison headquarters for help.
Then the company commander's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Because no matter how he shook the phone, there was no response from the receiver.
He knew that the telephone line had been cut off by his enemies.
By not allowing themselves to call for support from the county seat, it is clear that they want to buy enough time to attack and eliminate themselves.
"Company...the enemy has entered the station..." The guard squad leader who lived next to him suddenly opened the door and rushed into the company commander's room, shouting with a look of horror on his face.
"Who is the enemy attacking us?" the company commander asked with fear on his face.
The guard squad leader shook his head and replied: "I don't know even if I am in a humble position..."
"They are all wearing uniforms, have sophisticated weapons, and are equipped with more light machine guns than we do."
"The brothers were blocked in the barracks with machine guns and couldn't get out..."
"Blow up the back wall and rush out..." The company commander didn't want to die here, so he quickly thought of a way to save his life!
A glimmer of hope quickly ignited on the guard squad leader's desperate face.
There were a lot of weapons and ammunition stored in the company commander's room. The guard squad leader quickly found a few grenades, pressed them in the corner, pulled the string, quickly reared, and hid behind the downed table with the company commander.
"Rumble..."
A violent explosion soon sounded on the back wall of the barracks. The powerful air wave almost overturned the table. The flying bricks hit the table with a loud bang, and two bricks hit the company commander, almost knocking him over.
My son broke his femur, which made him tremble with pain.
But in order to survive, the company commander endured it all.
He quickly got up from the ground and rushed towards the hole in the wall that was still filled with smoke.
Just when the company commander thought he had escaped the battlefield alive, a loud shout suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Surrender without killing..."
Five or six Eighth Route Army soldiers were guarding the hole in the wall with rifles in hand. The muzzles of the black holes were all pointed at themselves. As long as the company commander made the slightest movement, the bullets ejected from these barrels would beat him to a pulp.
"I surrender……"
He who knows the current affairs is a hero...
This is the company commander's long-standing belief, otherwise he would not have gotten into trouble with the Japanese and gained the trust of the Japanese.
The company commander of the Puppet Manchuria Army was captured, and the remaining soldiers were easy to deal with. After a while, the gunfire in the garrison stopped.
Because the Puppet Manchuria Army basically did not fire during the battle, the weapons and ammunition equipped by the Kwantung Army were not wasted at all, and all fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
At a settlement point five kilometers away, the raid went more smoothly than the attack on the puppet Manchurian Army.
There were only a dozen or so expatriate armed forces at the settlement site. Except for the two young Japanese on duty, all the other young Japanese were huddled in the barracks and sleeping.
For this attack, Li Yunlong's goals for the troops were "quick, accurate, ruthless..."
Especially the raid on the settlement point, without giving the little devils any time to counterattack, eliminate all the armed foreigners as soon as possible and capture the settlement point.
After all, there are many Japanese expatriates living together with ordinary people in settlements. If the raiding force fails to fight quickly and the two sides exchange fire during the battle, and even throw grenades and hand grenades at each other, ordinary people will definitely be accidentally injured.
These ordinary people are the foundation for the northward detachment to establish its base in the Northeast. If there is no loss, there will be no loss.
Moreover, a quick victory can also make the local people feel the power of the northbound detachment.
In their eyes, the invincible little Japanese became vulnerable in front of the Northward Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, which made the local people trust and support the Northward Detachment more. This was also more conducive to the Northward Detachment gaining people's support here and establishing a base faster.
