Huang Yu glanced at the approximate location of the Japanese army marked on the map by the cavalry company commander and snorted: "No matter how powerful a temporarily integrated army is, it is just a mob..."
"Haven't they not joined up with the troops coming from Tianjin direction yet? As long as the two troops don't join together, we still have a chance."
Among the several battalion commanders, Huang Yong liked to use his brain the most. After hearing this, he asked Huang Yu tentatively: "Captain, do you want to take the initiative and defeat the little Japanese who are besieging Tong County?"
Huang Yu nodded and asked: "How is the rest of the troops? Can they continue to fight?"
Huang Yong looked at the clock on the wall and replied: "I started going to bed at four o'clock in the morning. It is now eleven o'clock in the morning. I have slept for seven hours. It should be almost time to rest. Please give the order to the regiment leader."
Huang Yu didn't talk nonsense. He pointed at the little Japs that the cavalry company had just detected and ordered: "I will give you two mortar companies, ten heavy machine guns, and fifty rounds of shells for each mortar. The troops will set off now and divide the troops.
Leave the city, disperse the march, rush to the battlefield and assemble secretly, first use mortars to sneak attack the Japanese from a long distance, slow down their marching speed and consume their troops."
"If they ignore it and go straight to Tong County, they will keep bombing."
"The puppet troops here are indeed the elite of the pacification army. In addition, they bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the east gate of Peiping. The Japanese also attach great importance to them. They not only equip them with mortar companies, but also equip them with a large number of artillery shells."
"We seized a total of 2,500 rounds of artillery shells from the pacification army arsenal. Two artillery shells can kill one Japs, and the more than 1,000 artillery shells you took away can also kill six or seven hundred Japs. Neji Okamura finally got it together.
An infantry brigade in our country was destroyed by bombing. No matter how bold you are, you dare not come to Tong County and die in vain."
The continuously captured artillery shells provided Huang Yu with the confidence to defeat the Japs time and time again, and also gave him the confidence to defend Tong County to the death.
No matter how powerful the little devil is, he is still made of flesh and blood. As long as the artillery fire is strong enough, weapons made of steel can be blown into parts, let alone people.
As soon as Huang Yong heard the number of artillery and shells allocated to him by the regiment commander, he realized that he was sure to win. He was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away from his mouth, so he quickly accepted the order: "Please don't worry, regiment commander, I will lead the troops to set off now."
"
"Make sure these little devils don't get to Tong County."
Huang Yu thought for a while and added: "Annihilate them all as much as possible. This will be good for the special agent company's operations tonight."
"If the special agent company can also successfully complete its mission, that old devil Neji Okamura will definitely be shocked. Without us urging, the 5,000 troops who reinforced Baoding will return to Peiping overnight, and then our mission will be completed.
"
Chen Jia was anxious and immediately stood up to ask for a fight: "Captain, the Seventh Company has a mission. As for the First Company, it is impossible for us to stay in Tong County and sleep, right?"
"The first company has also been repaired. The morale of the troops is high and they are ready to join the battle at any time. Please give the order to the regiment commander."
Huang Yu patted Chen Jia on the shoulder and replied: "Don't worry, I won't let you idle..."
"Take the remaining mortars with fifty rounds of ammunition for each gun, divide the troops out of the city, and head towards Tianjin to harass the little Japs in Tianjin who are reinforcing Peiping."
"I don't care how you attack them, but you must kill more Japanese while preserving your strength, and be prepared for air defense at all times."
"You have all heard the other news brought back by the cavalry company: the planes at Peiping Airport are ready to go, and they must be prepared to eliminate us."
"But as long as the troops disperse and do not gather together and make disguises, it will be useless no matter how many planes the Japanese send to escort the reinforcements."
…………
In a valley two kilometers south of Tianjin, three detachment leaders of the special operations team were surrounding Duan Peng to take charge of the mission.
There is a hand-drawn map at my feet, with the specific locations of Tianjin City and Tianjin Pier clearly marked on it.
Of course, even without this map, Duan Peng still knows how to fight.
This is his second visit to Tianjin. The last time he came here, not only Huang Yu, but also the old regiment leader visited almost all of Tianjin, especially the Tianjin dock where a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies were stored.
In which direction of the dock are ammunition piled, in which direction are oils piled, in which direction are weapons piled... He knows it all clearly.
"The mission given to us by the regiment leader is to harass Tianjin City so that the Tianjin garrison will feel the danger and dare not send too many troops to reinforce Peiping." Duan Peng stared at the sketch on the ground and introduced.
"According to investigation, the Tianjin garrison dispatched two brigades to reinforce Peiping. The first brigades have already set off for more than three hours and are almost arriving in Peiping. It is impossible to return to the reinforcements. The second brigades have just set off an hour later. As long as we set off as soon as possible,
If we launch an operation, there is still a chance for the Tianjin garrison to bring them back, at least half of them should be brought back."
"The first detachment is equipped with two mortars. They choose their own attack location and attack time. They directly attack Tianjin City in a sneak attack and find a way to cause maximum damage to Tianjin City at the minimum cost."
"The second and third teams have four mortars left. Come with me to attack the Tianjin dock."
"Let's try to blow up the oil the Japanese have stored at the Tianjin dock."
At this moment, Tianjin City is under martial law, with more than 200 Japanese soldiers and more than 400 puppet troops patrolling the four walls.
The dark barrels of light and heavy machine guns protruded from the crenels, reflecting a faint blue light under the sunlight, which looked particularly scary.
The city gate is tightly closed, with a wooden barrier blocking the doorway and a barbed wire fence surrounding it, giving people an insurmountable feeling.
】
The bustling streets in the city suddenly became extremely quiet. Except for the Japanese and puppet troops patrolling back and forth, no ordinary people were seen.
If someone is not afraid of death and suddenly appears on the street, he will definitely be turned away to the gendarmerie as soon as possible.
If you are unlucky, you may be targeted by the patrol.
The captain of the first detachment of the special operations team was hiding behind a bush, which was more than a thousand meters away from the city. As long as the hit rate was high enough, mortars could easily hit the city with shells.
"Let's start from here..." Looking at the Japanese and puppet troops patrolling the city, the squad leader ordered with a hot look.
"The artillery team immediately set up artillery, aimed at the city head, fired five rounds rapidly, and then moved away...the assault team and the sniper team covered the retreat, and first fired ten rounds of artillery shells at the Japanese and puppet troops as a greeting gift."
"Boom boom..."
Two explosions soon sounded on the city wall, and a cannonball hit the city wall. The squad leader clearly saw a Japanese soldier being blown into the sky, then jumping over the battlements and hitting the corner of the city wall.
Another shell fell inside the city, and only a cloud of black smoke could be seen rising into the sky.
The hit rate was exactly 50%. The squad leader was very satisfied with the order: "Continue to fire, faster, and move after the attack."
"Boom...boom..." Two cannonballs hit the city head one after another. After a while, seven or eight plumes of black smoke rose from the south gate of Tianjin.
The Japanese and puppet troops were condescending and quickly found the specific location of the special operations unit.
However, because the two sides were too far apart, the light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers in their hands could not hurt each other at all, so they could only request artillery support.
As a result, before the artillery squad reached the top of the city, the rapid artillery fire from outside the city stopped.
More than a dozen Eighth Route Army troops carried mortar parts and swaggered out of sight.
After the Japanese army headquarters in the city sent reinforcements to Peiping, the commander called several close staff members together to discuss the Peking guerrilla detachment that suddenly captured Tong County on a sand table, replicating their combat trajectory and methods.
, in order to find the enemy's weaknesses and create conditions for reinforcements to retake Tongxian County.
You must know that the troops that counterattacked Tongxian this time were mainly Huixia's two brigades. The better the tactics and tactics used, the smaller their losses in the battle will be.
If they can easily defeat the Peking Guerrilla Detachment, the relevant honors they obtain will also belong to them.
Tianjin is different from other places in North China. Its special geographical location and importance have meant that the troops stationed here have not fought in a war for a long time.
In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, it is definitely best not to fight.
But in the eyes of these officers, who were brainwashed by Bushido, only by fighting can they gain military merit and be promoted.
Therefore, he is eager to fight more than anyone else. Faced with the pie-in-the-sky opportunity of attacking Tongxian, he must seize any chance.
After more than an hour, they successfully reproduced several battles fought by Huang Yu using the enemy information reports sent from Peiping. The only remaining battle was how the Peking guerrilla detachment captured Tongxian County.
"Boom boom..." When they were about to continue, two explosions suddenly reached their ears from the south of the city.
The commander of the regiment stood up from his chair as if he had been beaten to death, took three steps and two steps at a time, rushed out of the war room, and climbed onto the roof of the headquarters.
"Boom boom..."
The explosion continued, and several billows of black smoke were already rising in the south of the city. At first glance, it was obvious that it was an artillery shell.
When I returned to the war room, I heard a report from my subordinates: "Captain of the regiment, the garrison in the south of the city reported that they were attacked by a small group of Eighth Route Army. The opponent was equipped with two mortars and withdrew from the battlefield after five rounds of shelling..."
"The time was too short and the artillery units were unable to counterattack... They asked the headquarters for instructions whether to send troops out of the city to pursue and eliminate the opponent."
"Did they suffer a lot of losses?" the captain asked calmly as if he had guessed the origin of this Eighth Route Army.
The subordinates shook their heads: "Eight people were killed in the battle, including four imperial soldiers... Six people were seriously injured, including two imperial soldiers..."
"Then there's no need to pursue..." the captain said with a sigh of relief.
"My guess is good: the Eighth Route Army that attacked us should be from the Peking Guerrilla Detachment, the same Eighth Route Army that occupied Tong County."
"They want to threaten us through a sneak attack on Tianjin City, but they dare not send too many troops to reinforce Tong County and reduce the pressure on them to defend the city. This little trick can't fool me."
"Let the city defense troops strengthen their vigilance. If the Eighth Route Army fails to attack once, it will definitely launch a second sneak attack."
"As long as we control our casualties and defend Tianjin City, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to do anything to us. They will only dare to fire a few shells from a distance with mortars, which will have little impact."
As soon as the commander explained, everyone in the war room felt relieved, and the two staff officers who were about to propose a pursuit out of the city also decisively shut their mouths.
