Lizhuang, where the Second Battalion of Shunping Garrison Regiment is stationed, Kong Jie appeared at the entrance of the village at six o'clock in the morning, staring at the road in front of him and looking forward to it...
As a result, more than an hour passed and nothing appeared on the highway.
First Battalion Commander Xie Guangfu couldn't help but stand up: "Commander, we still have a tough battle to fight tonight... If we don't get enough rest, it will definitely affect the unit's combat effectiveness!"
"Why don't you go back and rest first... I'll stay here and I'll send someone to call you as soon as Deputy Chief of Staff Huang comes back!"
Kong Jie shook his head: "If I don't see Xiao Huang, I won't be able to sleep even if I lie down on the bed!"
"The night attack on the South Korean village is a replica of the decisive battle between us and the Japanese in Shunping. It contains a lot of combat experience worth summarizing and learning from!"
"The defense team has won, and we will be more confident in the decisive battle with the Japanese tonight!"
"If we lose, we should sum up and learn lessons along the way!"
"Wait a minute... Judging from the time, they should be back soon!"
"There's someone on the road..." A cry suddenly rang in Kong Jie's ears. When he looked up, he saw two soldiers running towards the entrance of the village quickly.
From a distance, he gasped and reported: "Commander...Deputy Chief of Staff Huang is back..."
"They won the battle and brought back a lot of trophies..."
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, a troop appeared at the end of the road, carrying the wounded, seized weapons and ammunition, and pulling several large vehicles, and rushed towards the village in a mighty manner.
Kong Jie suddenly became excited, stretched out his legs and rushed over.
"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the garrison regiment successfully completed the blocking mission..." Huang Yu saluted Kong Jie with a military salute.
"In the interdiction battle and night raid, we killed at least 1,400 Japanese and puppet troops... Most of the enemies were killed in the night raid last night. We captured more than 200 puppet troops and captured six intact mortars.
artillery, five heavy machine guns, 16 light machine guns, nine grenade launchers, more than 400 rifles, and nearly 100,000 rounds of various bullets!"
"We also seized 14 box guns from the puppet troops and 38 box pistols from the Japanese..."
"I plan to equip all of them for tonight's night attack force. They will definitely help us kill many more Japanese and puppet troops and reduce many unnecessary casualties!"
The smile on Kong Jie's face was thicker than before, and he immediately asked: "Tell us quickly, how did you win this battle!"
"The terrain of South Korea Village is limited, and the battlefield is only so big. I thought it would be good if you could kill the puppet army for seven to eight hundred days, but it turned out to be completely different for me!"
After saying that, he ordered the guard beside him: "Immediately notify all cadres above the company in the village to gather in the conference room!"
"In a while, Deputy Chief of Staff Huang will introduce the battle of South Korea Village in front of everyone, so that everyone can learn together."
Half an hour later, everyone in the conference room was immersed in Huang Yu's introduction and couldn't help themselves.
After another ten minutes, these cadres seemed to have discovered a new world, chasing Huang Yu to ask what they couldn't understand...
After another ten minutes, the busy conference room became quiet.
But the way everyone looked at Huang Yu was obviously different. There was shock, admiration, and happiness...
Kong Jie was very satisfied with this atmosphere and said bluntly: "Comrades, Deputy Chief of Staff Huang used a strengthened battalion to attack the Japs at night, successfully wiping out more than 800 days of puppet troops, with less than 200 casualties..."
"We have two reinforced battalions here, and the equipment is better than that of the garrison, not to mention the terrain advantage..."
"I, Kong Jie, am not the kind of person who talks big. As long as everyone annihilates the remaining Japanese and puppet troops tonight, I will be satisfied!"
"The entire combat plan was formulated by Deputy Chief of Staff Huang. The battle in South Korea proved that there is no problem with this combat method. Deputy Chief of Staff Huang is also more experienced than me."
"I have decided that tonight's night attack will be under the unified command of Deputy Chief of Staff Huang!"
One kilometer outside the east gate of Junpei, Nakazu Takeuchi is standing here observing the city head.
More than a hundred subordinates had just entered the city, and he was most worried about the Eighth Route Army setting up an ambush in the city to raid the forward troops that had already entered the city.
There is a city wall between the two armies. If an accident like that happens, I won't be able to send reinforcements in time, and I can only watch them being eaten.
From the moment the vanguard troops entered the city, his heart had been hanging in his throat.
Five minutes later, the forward troops successfully occupied the city head. In this way, even if they had an accident in the city, at least they would have the retreat route in their own hands.
Takeuchi Nakasa immediately felt relieved.
Ten minutes later, the troops staying at the top of the city sent a safety signal, which meant that no accidents occurred to the troops entering the city, and no enemy was found at the top of the city...
Fifteen minutes later, there was still no sound of exchange of fire in the city...
Until the forward troops sent someone out to report the situation, none of the accidents that Lieutenant Colonel Takeuchi was worried about happened.
"Report to the Chief of Staff: Shunping County is deserted, not even a living creature found!" the squadron leader reported with a happy face.
"Have you found any tunnels?" Takeuchi Zhongsao asked with a worried look on his face.
learn from mistakes!
In the battle at South Korea Village, the troops were defeated by the Eighth Route Army tunnels. The same mistake must not be made a second time.
The squadron leader nodded immediately: "We found several tunnels... They were all expanded from ordinary people's cellars, but there was no one inside!"
The captain of the second brigade suddenly interjected: "Chief of Staff, I guess the Eighth Route Army originally wanted to use these tunnels to fight street battles with us!"
"But they were frightened by our superior artillery and air force, and temporarily decided to abandon the county. These tunnels dug in advance had to be abandoned!"
The squadron leader added: "The tunnels we discovered are all independent. At most three or four courtyards are connected together, and they have no connection with the outside world!"
"That's right!" The captain of the second brigade was even more convinced of his judgment.
"If the Eighth Route Army really wants to use these tunnels to kill us and attack us at night, it will definitely connect all the tunnels in the city together and then outside the city."
"Otherwise those isolated tunnels will have no choice but to engage in street fighting with us!"
After Lieutenant Colonel Takeuchi's only concern was relieved by his subordinates, he immediately ordered: "The troops will enter the city immediately... and at the same time report the good news that we have recaptured Junpei to the brigade commander!"
"The troops will have a good night's rest in the city and start searching for the main force of the Eighth Route Army tomorrow, striving to find them and eliminate them within five days.
Compared with last night, perhaps because of the protection of the city wall, the little devil slept particularly peacefully tonight.
Before eight o'clock, Shunping County, which had been busy all afternoon, became quiet.
Of the more than 1,700 Japanese and puppet troops, except for the more than 400 who stood firm at the top of the city, the others were all hiding in their barracks and sleeping soundly, including Lieutenant Colonel Takeuchi!
We were attacked by the Eighth Route Army at night last night, and everyone struggled for half the night.
Already exhausted, we drove another ten or twenty kilometers this morning, and in the afternoon we searched S County and organized the barracks... Everyone was even more tired and fell asleep.
Maybe it's because there are no outsiders in the city. Except for the patrol team and security troops at the top of the city, the other Japanese and puppet troops didn't even arrange security posts!
The streets were empty, not a soul in sight.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, a soft sound suddenly came from the kitchen of a house in the east end of the city, and the iron pot on the earthen stove started to move...
Then I saw the iron pot being lifted up by a soldier. After confirming that there was no danger, the soldier carefully put the iron pot aside, then got out of the earthen stove and touched the door to alert...
This is an underground entrance and exit connected to the earth stove...
Soon, the room and courtyard were crowded with Eighth Route Army soldiers.
Because there were too many people, we had to move to the courtyards on both sides!
The company commander stayed at the entrance and exit to help carry artillery shells and mortar parts. This was Huang Yu's temporary decision.
The county seat is different from the South Korean village blocking position.
There are a large number of courtyards here that can be defended by the Japanese. If there are no heavy weapons to attack the enemy from a distance, the troops will definitely pay a huge price in the process of attacking the courtyards.
It happened that the troops captured six mortars in South Korea Village. Together with the more than 20 mortars already owned by the Duer Regiment and the garrison regiment, it was enough to equip each main company participating in the battle with three mortars.
If it weren't for the fact that mountain artillery and infantry artillery were too difficult to transport and could not enter the county through tunnels, he would have wanted to transport several mountain artillery and infantry artillery pieces that were the main force of the regiment into the county to join the battle.
"Company Commander Zhou... Three mortars and 150 rounds of artillery shells have been brought in... From now on, the entire artillery platoon will be under your command, and we can hit wherever you say!" said the last mortar platoon leader.
After getting out of the tunnel, I looked at the leader of the team, Captain Zhou, with a report on his face.
Company Commander Zhou glanced at his watch and replied: "There is still half an hour until the general attack time..."
"You guys should rest for ten minutes first...and then go to the attack position with us!"
"Our target is the eastern garrison of Xiaoguizi City... there are more than two hundred Japanese and puppet troops stationed there... try to get under their noses to launch an attack, end the battle within ten minutes, and kill them all."
Outside the county seat, the four companies of the garrison were divided into four, and a blocking position was built five or six hundred meters away from the county wall...
In the battle at South Korean Village, although the losses of the participating troops of the garrison were much lower than those of the Little Japs, their total strength was too small. All in all, almost every company suffered more than half of its casualties.
Their mission tonight is to eliminate all Japanese and puppet troops leaving the city.
Despite the small number of people, the equipment is surprisingly good.
Heavy machine guns were not suitable for street fighting, so Kong Jie waved his hand and strengthened the entire garrison.
Although the four companies only have 60 or 70 people, they are equipped with five heavy machine guns, and their firepower is not ordinary.
The Japanese and puppet troops were stationed in the east of the city. Company Commander Zhou led the security squad and was the first to reach this place.
As a result, there was not a single Japanese sentry at the gate of the station.
There was no one inside the machine gun position surrounded by sandbags!
The station was deserted, not even a patrol was seen!
This scene confused him, and his first subconscious reaction was that there was no one in the station.
Otherwise, with the cautious character of the Japanese, no matter how careless they are, they would not even be able to arrange for a sentry.
It wasn't until a scout touched him that he realized that a huge fighter plane was opening its arms to him!
