Chapter 504 We Guarded a Hen That Laid Golden Eggs
Chapter 504 We guarded a hen that could lay golden eggs (second update)
The second lieutenant who climbed to the top of the turret first quickly turned around and returned to the stairs. He almost bumped into the squadron leader. He said with a look of horror: "Sir, the 8th Route is equipped with infantry artillery. We are locked by an infantry artillery. We will be hit at most."
Three shells will collapse, and the troops must evacuate the tower immediately!"
"Evacuate quickly!" The squadron leader also realized his dangerous situation. Without saying a word, he nodded and ran downstairs.
The shell that hit the turret just now hit the second floor. When the squadron leader ran here, the entire turret was filled with smoke, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the screams of soldiers kept reaching his ears.
The squadron leader was so distracted that he turned around and ran towards the first floor without even turning his head.
"boom……"
The second shell hit the outer wall of the third floor of the turret. Air waves and smoke quickly surged from the stairwell to the second floor. The squadron leader was so frightened that he unconsciously sped up and ran away.
He rushed out of the turret in one breath and then stopped, and then started breathing heavily.
"boom……"
The third shell exploded immediately behind him, and the turret became shaky and could collapse at any time.
The squadron was horrified after seeing this, and ordered with lingering fear: "Enter the position immediately. Without the gun towers, we still have the bunker. Without the bunker, we still have ground positions. We must hold the stronghold..."
"The telephone soldier immediately connected the phone line and contacted the headquarters... I want to speak to the captain in person..."
"Our opponents did not recover from the last major sweep... Not only are their morale high, they are also equipped with infantry artillery..."
"The stronghold at the entrance of the cave was attacked. The troops suffered heavy casualties and are in urgent need of reinforcements..."
After saying that, he ran towards the position not far away. The crumbling turret collapsed at this moment and turned into a pile of ruins...
"Boom boom boom..."
Five mortar shells roared over and suddenly hit the open space in front of the gun tower and the outer positions...
The main force of the puppet army was still sleeping in the barracks when the stronghold was attacked.
After the infantry artillery fired three rounds of shells, all the Japanese and puppet troops rushed out of the barracks and rushed to their positions.
At least a hundred Japanese and puppet troops gathered in this open area that was attacked by mortars...
Five fireballs soared into the sky among the crowd, and at least twenty Japanese and puppet soldiers were blown up...
The ensuing battle was exactly the same as the Pingyang stronghold...the only difference was that Huang Yu had cut off the only telephone line in the same county in the stronghold before launching the attack.
As a result, the stronghold at the entrance of the cave was completely captured and the county seat was not contacted.
"The platoon with the most casualties from the second company will be left behind... all the lightly and seriously wounded will be left behind. The other troops will complete their assembly within five minutes and take heavy weapons to the next stronghold!"
"As long as the little devils in the county don't call for air support, we are in no danger!"
"Comrades, let's hold on a little longer... take the third stronghold, and I guarantee that everyone will eat well, drink well, and have a good rest!"
Zhang Xuan, the commander of the special agent company, came from the independent regiment. Before Kong Jie was transferred, he was the deputy battalion commander and company commander of the main battalion. After Kong Jie was transferred, Huang Yu was demoted from battalion commander to company commander, and Zhang Xuan was naturally demoted to platoon leader.
After Kong Jie became the leader of the Duer Regiment, although he was promoted to the commander of the special agent company, he was far from being reinstated.
The Duer Regiment is different from other main forces in that it is formed by downsizing a main brigade.
There are more than ten company commanders in the regiment, almost all of whom have served as battalion commanders, and some have even served as deputy regimental commanders.
If you want to stand out in such a talented team, you must work harder than others.
During the Li Zhuang ambush battle, the Secret Service Company Bu Ming had become a blockbuster, allowing everyone in the Duer Regiment to see the powerful combat effectiveness of the Secret Service Company, as well as their own commanding abilities, but this was not enough.
Unfortunately, the battalion commander did not give the special agent company a chance to continue participating in the war.
Zhang Xuan understands this determination very well. The secret agent company has already achieved its first success, but it still has to give others some soup.
If they participated in all battles, with the combat effectiveness of the special agent company, there would definitely be nothing to do with other troops. In the end, all the combat achievements would be taken away by the special agent company, and others would definitely say that the battalion commander was partial.
Although he was left in Lizhuang to clean the battlefield, in the eyes of others, the battle belonging to the special agent company was over, but Zhang Xuan did not see it that way.
In the past, in the independent regiment, the battalion commander had received many tasks of cleaning up the battlefield.
But he will change from passive to active, just find opportunities when cleaning the battlefield, seize the opportunity, and gain some military exploits that others cannot see.
In Zhang Xuan's view, Lizhuang, where the special agent company is located, has such an opportunity.
The battalion commander captured the Pingyang stronghold, and the reinforcements sent by Shunping County were also eliminated. If the little devils in the city did not become blind and deaf, they would definitely send people out of the city to understand the situation.
If you set up a net here and wait, you can not only kill the Japanese troops leaving the city, but also make the Japanese and puppet troops in the city blind for a while longer.
In his memory, if the Japanese and puppet troops in the city wanted to know the news outside the city quickly, they would definitely ask the messengers to advance on horseback.
If you kill a messenger yourself, you can capture a war horse.
Compared with northwestern Shanxi, the role of cavalry in the Yizhong Plain is several times greater, and the value of war horses is also greater than in northwestern Shanxi.
There is no shortage of food in the Yizhong Plain, and the army has the conditions to form a large-scale cavalry unit.
If the Second Special Regiment could build a cavalry battalion, even an infantry brigade would not be at a disadvantage when encountering Japanese soldiers on the plains!
The secret service company captured more than a dozen war horses here, and together with the Duer Regiment already had, the regiment leader was able to build a cavalry platoon immediately.
As soon as the main force of the battalion withdrew, he picked three reinforced squads with the strongest combat effectiveness and lurked separately on the road leading to Lizhuang from the county town...
They are five hundred meters apart from each other. If the Japanese and puppet troops only send out one wave of messengers, the front ambush soldiers will not move, and they will wait until they rush to the third wave of ambush soldiers before taking action...
If the Japanese and puppet troops send three waves of messengers, none of these three waves of messengers can escape...
"Da da da……"
At 4:30 in the morning, the sound of a series of machine gun fire suddenly reached Zhang Xuan's ears...
Less than ten seconds later, another burst of gunfire came from the ambush position...
Ten minutes later, the six war horses were led back to Lizhuang by their subordinates...
At the Japanese garrison headquarters in Shunping County, Major Harada waited from about three o'clock until after five o'clock, but no messenger sent out returned to the county seat.
The bad premonition in my mind became stronger and stronger.
I especially want to lead the troops to visit the Pingyang stronghold in person.
But just thinking about it, minus the reinforcements I sent out, there is only one infantry squadron, one mortar squad, one heavy machine gun squad, one transportation team, and one gendarmerie squad left in the county. The total is less than four hundred
people!
It is difficult to even defend Shunping County with this small amount of troops. If something unexpected happens after leaving the city, Shunping County will be lost.
But he couldn't stay in the county town like a blind man or a deaf man all the time, so Harada Major decided to send a few more messengers out of the city to have a look...
Go to the Pingyang stronghold from different directions to investigate, and there will always be someone who can return safely.
