Chapter 522: The Great Victory of the Shunpei Defense Regiment
Chapter 522: Great victory, great victory of Shunping garrison (second update)
The sound of constant exchanges of fire rang out on the top of the city, and a little Japanese suddenly left and, under the cover of darkness, went straight to the artillery squadron station.
The squad leader kept his eyes on the Japs until he disappeared at the end of the street.
Artillery support is very important to him. As long as he knocks out the enemy's artillery, he will be in an invincible position and kill as many enemies as he comes.
If they fail to knock out the enemy's artillery, the city defense troops will continue to fight under artillery fire.
If the enemy brings enough cannonballs, they can severely damage the garrison in the east of the city and capture the east gate.
This was the last outcome the squad leader wanted to face, so he was full of expectations for the messengers who had just left, hoping that they would contact the artillery unit in time and bring them to the east of the city to join the battle.
"boom……"
A gunshot suddenly rang out where the messenger disappeared, and the team leader's hopeful face was instantly covered with despair.
The gunshot never came sooner or later, but it happened to happen at this time. Even a fool knew that the gunshot had something to do with the messenger.
Once the messenger died, there was no hope for artillery support. The troops stationed in the east of the city could only continue to fight while staring at the enemy's artillery fire, enduring unprecedented casualties and combat pressure.
That wasn't what worried him the most.
The messenger was attacked, which meant that an enemy ambush was hidden there.
It's okay if there are only a few people. The most you can do is beat the messengers, cut off contact with other troops in the city, and have no impact on the troops garrisoned at the top of the city.
If there are too many people, the garrison at the top of the city will be attacked from both sides by the enemy, and the result will be disastrous!
There are not many troops stationed in the east of the city, and it is already difficult to withstand the enemy's attack outside the city. If another part of the force is divided to block the enemy coming from inside the city, it is likely that they will not be able to defend from both directions, and will eventually be wiped out on the top of the city.
"Captain, someone is coming towards the city gate!" Captain Cao suddenly reminded.
"Baga...they are enemies, not our own!" the squad leader shouted with a solemn expression as soon as he saw what the other party was wearing.
"Immediately dispatch a combat detachment and a platoon of Imperial Army troops to resist them. We must not let them get close to the city wall... Hurry up, they will reach the city gate if we don't shoot!"
Captain Cao was also shocked and broke into a cold sweat. He rushed towards the troops and ordered as he ran: "Come here...bring two light machine guns..."
"Li Sang... Platoon Leader Li, bring your people to block the enemies in the city. Don't let them get close to the city, otherwise all of us will die here... Hurry up..."
"Da da da……"
The Japanese reaction speed was much faster than that of the puppet army. After a while, the familiar sound of gunfire sounded behind Cao Chang.
Duan Peng reacted faster. He squatted on the ground as soon as the gunfire rang out from the top of the city, picked up the 38 cap he had just captured, aimed at the Japanese machine gunner, and pulled the trigger...
The sound of machine gun fire suddenly stopped, not even a single round of bullets was fired.
The Japanese deputy shooter was not afraid at all. He moved away the body of the machine gunner, held the handle of the machine gun, put his shoulder on the butt of the gun... pulled the bolt, aimed at the special forces team more than 100 meters away, and pulled the trigger.
"boom……"
The special operations team did not give him this machine gun... Before the machine gun fired, the rifle bullets flying towards him had already penetrated into his eyebrows...
This is the masterpiece of the snipers of the first detachment of the Special Forces...
After losing six machine gunners in a row, the other Japanese and puppet troops no matter how courageous they were, did not dare to lean over to die. The two crooked guns became completely a decoration...
The light machine guns and box cannons equipped by the special forces joined the battle one after another, suppressing the riflemen hiding behind the battlements.
Several special operations team members took the opportunity to reach the foot of the city wall, took out a grenade, pulled the string, held it in their hands for three seconds, and then threw it towards the top of the city.
"Boom boom boom..."
Three grenades exploded in the air, and four grenades exploded after landing. The flying fragments quickly set off a steel storm at the top of the city.
Wherever they went, no matter whether the Japanese and puppet troops were lying down or squatting behind the battlements, no one was spared.
"Boom boom boom..."
The second round of grenades followed, increasing the losses of the Japanese and puppet troops at the top of the city. Other special forces members took advantage of the situation and reached the foot of the city wall, and began to attack along the stairs to the top of the city...
This is the most dangerous time.
The Japanese and puppet troops can kill several team members just by throwing a grenade into the corner of the city wall. Everyone must seize the time, attack the top of the city as quickly as possible, and clear out all the Japanese and puppet troops on this section of the city wall, so as to ensure everyone's safety.
Duan Peng had replaced the 38 cap with a box cannon, holding the gun with both hands, the muzzle of the gun constantly moving with his eyes, ready to pull the trigger at any time.
As soon as a Japanese poked his head out from the battlement, the cannon in his hand went off, and his steps became faster and faster.
Two subordinates followed closely behind, holding the same box cannon in their hands, ready to provide fire cover to the captain at any time.
The Japs squad leader was particularly unlucky.
After two crooked guns misfired continuously, in order to boost morale, he decided to take the lead and become a machine gunner himself. As a result, his head was blown off as soon as he put his shoulder on the butt of the gun, and he died.
Without the commander, facing the sudden rain of grenades, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops here instantly became a mess.
Especially the puppet troops, who accounted for the majority of the troops, all hid in the corner of the city wall with their heads in their hands, praying that grenades would not hit them.
In the face of saving their lives, they had long forgotten their mission of blocking the enemy.
"Pa bang bang..."
Duan Peng finally rushed to the top of the city, faced the three Japs who were about to raise their guns more than ten meters away, and continuously pulled the trigger...
Several Japanese soldiers further away also noticed them and turned around one after another, raising their 38-meter caps in an attempt to force them back to the corner of the city wall.
The two team members behind them didn't give them this chance. They fired at the same time. The bullets rained down on them in a fan shape. It was so airtight that the Japanese couldn't hide even if they wanted to. They watched the bullets penetrate into their bodies, and their eyes changed from shock to
Despair, then unwillingness, and finally collapsed in a pool of blood.
"Da da da... bah bah..."
More and more special forces rushed to the top of the city, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and harvesting their lives everywhere.
The puppet soldiers they met along the way seemed to be discussing it. They threw their rifles on the ground, knelt down with their heads in their hands, and shouted: "I surrender...I don't want to die...Eighth Route Army commander, spare your life..."
Only then did Duan Peng's tense nerves relax. He took a deep breath and ordered: "The first detachment continues to clear out the remaining enemies at the top of the city... The second detachment immediately opens the city gate to cover the main force entering the city... and then follow me to raid the Japanese."
Artillery station!"
"I just heard from a puppet prisoner that there is a mortar squad in the city... He knows the specific location and is willing to take the blame and help us take it down..."
At the headquarters of the Duer Regiment, three cavalry correspondents ran for dozens of kilometers and finally returned here before three o'clock in the morning.
The horse jumped down quickly before it stopped, panting and shouting to the headquarters: "Great victory...Shunping garrison's great victory..."
"Where is the leader? Where is the leader? I want to see him right away!"
"We captured Shunping County... Captain Huang asked me to report the victory..."
The quiet regiment suddenly became lively. Kong Jie put on his coat and rushed out. As he ran, he asked: "What is the big victory? Can you explain it clearly? What did Xiao Huang take down?"
"Reporting to the leader... Captain Huang led us to capture Shunping County!"
"Captain Huang also asked me to tell you: The Japanese army in Baoding has not received relevant information yet. Commander, please lead at least one battalion of the main force to Shunping immediately!"
"I said I have a big operation to discuss with you..."
"If you are well prepared, you can still kill two little Japs from the infantry brigades!"
Kong Jie unconditionally trusted Huang Yu, and after hearing this, he ordered Liu Sen, who had just arrived: "Chief of Staff, immediately notify the regiment headquarters security company, artillery company, first battalion and one company, second battalion and fourth company, third battalion and seventh company, tomorrow morning at 9
Get to Shunping County before midnight, and those who disobey orders will be subject to military law!"
"The security company just follow me and set off now!"
"You are staying at the base and are in urgent need of recruiting new soldiers and training the troops..."
"I have a strong hunch that if we fight this next battle well, the plan of the Japanese and puppet troops to sweep us away in Baoding will be pushed back two to three months!"
"The equipment and ammunition we urgently need to expand our troops can also be solved!"
"Maybe we can include the entire Shunping within our base area!"
"The center of the wing is dominated by plains. We can't hide in the mountains forever. We must find a way to get out!"
"I feel that Xiao Huang's sudden capture of Shunping County will be our breakthrough into the plains!"
It was only at this moment that the gunfire in Shunping City completely stopped.
After the special force cooperated with the secret agent company to capture the east gate, Huang Yu's original plan was to divide the special agent company into three and launch an attack directly from inside the city, blocking all the remaining three city defense troops on the top of the city and annihilating them together.
As a result, the two city defense forces reacted too quickly and evacuated into the city in an attempt to engage in street fighting with the garrison.
Huang Yu was not afraid of street fighting with the Japs, but street fighting was too time-consuming, and the Japs were more familiar with the city's terrain than the garrison. As a result, it took the attacking troops more than two hours to clear out hundreds of Japs in the city...
Duan Peng was the first to enter the city. No one knew the situation in the city better than him. When he saw Huang Yu, he kept reporting: "Captain...Shunping is small, but he has all the internal organs...Although there is only one mortar squad left in the Japanese artillery squadron station,
, but it is equipped with six mortars...the two mortars have just been taken out of the arsenal, and they are still brand new!"
"There are more equipment and ammunition in the arsenal than we expected..."
"There are two heavy machine guns alone, eight crooked handles, two mortars, two hundred 38-inch guns..."
"Not to mention ammunition... 300 rounds of infantry artillery shells, 600 rounds of mountain artillery shells, 1,200 mortar shells, more than 300,000 rounds of various bullets, and thousands of grenades and hand grenades?"
"This is what's left after the Japanese took away part of the equipment and ammunition!"
"There are insufficient troops in the city. In order to defend the county, the Japanese army can only do the next best thing and strengthen the firepower of the city defense troops!"
"In the past few days, we have carried out four heavy machine guns, two mortars, and sixteen light machine guns... Now we are all advantaged!"
"Back in northwestern Shanxi, an infantry regiment did not have so many weapons and ammunition in stock. A small county like Shunping actually hid so many treasures!"
