Accompanied by the loud blast of the charge, four regiments, namely the Independent Regiment, the New Second Regiment, the 771st Regiment, and the 772nd Regiment under the 386th Brigade, rushed into Yushe County from four directions.
There was no main attack or assist in this general offensive. From the brigade commander down to the soldiers, no one had any doubts about the outcome of this battle. The only thing the regiment commanders considered was how to destroy this enemy at the minimum cost, and
Brigadier Chen even had the leisure to drag Gao Hongming along to do some household chores.
In fact, there were no surprises in the outcome of the battle. After more than an hour, the battle had entered a countdown.
Wearing an ordinary Type 36 German Army uniform, Gao Hongming entered Yushe County surrounded by Dabao and a group of soldiers.
The narrow streets, dilapidated houses and corpses everywhere tell everyone that they are now on a battlefield.
Dabao, who was holding a StG-44 assault rifle, and a group of soldiers from the guard camp had already spread around, trying to minimize the danger as much as possible.
Seeing Dabao's vigilant look from beginning to end, Gao Hongming couldn't help but smile and said: "Dabao, as for you, this place has been cleared by the Eighth Route Army soldiers long ago, and the possibility of an enemy situation is extremely slim."
But Dabao made a rare retort: "Master, even if there is only the slightest chance, we can't take it lightly. Something can happen to anyone in our group, but you can't!"
Seeing Dabao's insistent look, Gao Hongming stopped saying anything, but Dabao was right. The current Liantai Vigilante Group was not just established when there were three or two big cats and kittens.
Today's Liantai Militia has become a large force including five infantry battalions, supplementary battalions, guard battalions, one armored battalion, two artillery battalions, two air defense battalions, as well as transport battalions, pontoon bridge companies, communication companies and many other units.
of military power.
It is said that Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment is a large super-staffed regiment of the Jinsui Army, with more than 5,000 troops. But compared with the Liantai Militia, it can only be a younger brother. As for the specific number of people, everyone can guess for themselves. Anyway, this
It's a secret that cannot be told.
So many people depended on Gao Hongming for food, and the number would be even higher if you include the families of officers and soldiers, the tenants who rented the Gao family's land, and even the shopkeepers and clerks of the Gao family's shops.
Unknowingly, Gao Hongming had become a character who would shock even Tai County by stomping his feet.
When they first entered the county town, everyone could only hear the faint sound of gunfire, but the further they went, the louder the gunfire became, and Dabao and the soldiers in the guard camp became even more vigilant.
When they were walking through a street, they happened to see a group of soldiers wearing German-style 36 Army uniforms pressing a group of prisoners over. When they saw Gao Hongming and his party, they quickly stopped. Because they were on the battlefield, everyone
No salute.
Gao Hongming asked curiously: "What part are you in and where are you going?"
The young soldier walking at the front quickly replied: "Reporting to the regiment, Private Lu Xianping of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Company, 3rd Platoon and 1st Squadron is reporting to you. Our platoon has been ordered to escort these puppet prisoners out of the city and hand them over to the Eighth Route Army."
Gao Hongming looked at these puppet troops and said with a smile: "Oh, there are a lot of them?"
"That is!"
Lu Xianping said with some pride: "These two Japs are far behind the little Japs. Our machine gun has just been set up, and before a round of bullets has been fired, we immediately raised our hands and surrendered. They are not like those little Japs. Even if they are beaten,
There will be no surrender until the end.”
Gao Hongming laughed and joked: "That's not a good thing. If these people are like the Japanese and don't surrender until the last one, wouldn't you be the one who has a headache?"
"That's true." Lu Xianping scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Kid...how long have you been a member of the vigilante group?"
Lu Xianping said proudly: "Reporting to the regiment, I joined the militia in March this year. It will be half a year in two days. By then I will be able to receive a military salary of one yuan and five oceans."
"Not bad." Gao Hongming nodded with satisfaction and counted the time, "So, you have participated in many battles since joining the army, and you can be considered a veteran?"
Lu Xianping scratched his head in embarrassment, and the second lieutenant next to him smiled and said: "Regiment leader, when this kid first joined the army, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants when he heard the sound of cannons. He is much better now.
Moreover, this boy has practiced marksmanship very well. In the battle at Qixiaguan two months ago, he personally killed ten Japanese soldiers, and the regiment even rewarded him with a hundred yuan."
"Oh... I didn't expect you to be a sharpshooter?"
Gao Hongming looked at the young soldier with some surprise. Looking at his tall figure and honest face, he really couldn't tell that this boy had the potential to be a sniper. He couldn't help but blurt out: "Since your marksmanship is so good, why not come here?"
My guard camp, right?”
Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers all looked at Lu Xianping with envy, and then at the guard battalion soldiers who were wearing exactly the same clothes as them, but had a lightning mark on their helmets.
Although Gao Hongming's guard camp is not well-known, it is the best among the Liantai militia in terms of combat effectiveness, treatment and even equipment.
Ordinary soldiers of the Liantai Militia are equipped with 98K rifles, while non-commissioned officers are equipped with Schmeisser submachine guns.
The guard battalion is different. Their military pay is only twice that of ordinary soldiers. Their weapons are different from ordinary soldiers. The soldiers in the guard battalion are equipped with G43 semi-automatic rifles and StG-44 assault rifles. These two weapons
Both performance and power are much stronger than the 98K and Schmeisser submachine guns.
The most important thing is that as Gao Hongming's personal security force, the guard camp does not have many opportunities to go to the battlefield, so being able to enter the guard camp is a good job for many people.
What was unexpected was that Lu Xianping actually refused.
He smiled innocently, rubbed the back of his head out of habit and said sheepishly: "Tuanzuo, I'm used to staying in the Second Battalion. I'm familiar with the brothers around me. I don't want to change places again."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The second lieutenant on the side was so angry that he secretly kicked him and cursed in a low voice: "Are you confused, you don't want to do such a good thing?"
"Platoon leader, I can't bear to leave you." Lu Xianping felt aggrieved, "Besides, when you get to the guard camp, you can't fight Japanese soldiers all the time."
"You..." The platoon leader was so angry that he wanted to kick him again.
"alright."
Gao Hongming stopped the platoon leader's move, "Second Lieutenant, don't make it difficult for him. Everyone has his own ambitions. If the young man doesn't want to come to the guard camp, that's his freedom. So..."
He stretched out his hand to a soldier in the guard camp behind him, and the soldier knowingly handed him the gun in his hand.
Gao Hongming handed the gun to Lu Xianping, "As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle. Since your marksmanship is so good, you should get a better weapon. I give this gun to you. I hope you can use it."
More guns will kill the Japanese."
Lu Xianping tremblingly took the rifle...well...to be precise, it should be a G43 semi-automatic rifle, and it is a sniper type because it also has a 4x scope.
After receiving the new gun, he was so excited that his voice trembled, and he said loudly and tremblingly: "I will report to the group, I will live up to your trust and kill more Japanese to repay you!"
"You are wrong, you don't need to repay me." Gao Hongming shook his head and said seriously: "You have to remember that you are not killing the devils for me, you are for the innocent brothers and sisters who died tragically under the devils' knives and the compatriots who died in vain.
Kill the devil.
If you must repay me, then work hard to kill more Japanese!"
"Understood!" Lu Xianping's face flushed with excitement. He wanted to salute Gao Hongming several times, but he was forced to restrain himself.
"Okay, let's go." Gao Hongming waved his hand and suddenly remembered something. He turned to the platoon leader next to Lu Xianping and said: "Tell your company commander that after Lu Xianping joins the army for half a year, his military rank will be raised to a first class soldier.
Just say what I said."
"Yes...understood!" the platoon leader replied loudly.
After Gao Hongming and his party left, Lu Xianping couldn't wait to stroke the new gun he just got. However, as soon as he lowered his head, he felt a violent shudder in his head.
As soon as he looked up, he saw the platoon leader scolding him with a bit of hatred: "You idiot, why didn't you agree to such a good opportunity just now? The regimental guard camp, the military pay there is double ours, you are
Not stupid?"
Lu Xianping touched his painful head and said aggrievedly: "But I just can't let go of the platoon leader and our brothers."
"You..." The platoon leader glared at him and stopped talking. However, he looked at him more kindly. After all, who doesn't like people who value love and justice?
Gao Hongming continued to move forward with Dabao and his party. The further they went, the more soldiers they encountered from the Eighth Route Army and the Liantai Militia. From time to time, male caregivers from the medical team could be seen carrying the wounded down on stretchers.
As the gunfire became more intense, Dabao led more than a dozen soldiers to protect Gao Hongming behind him, refusing to let him go ahead.
Gao Hongming also knew Dabao's good intentions. If he insisted on walking in front, that would not be called bravery, but stupid and stubborn.
After walking for a while, we found that this place was already a battlefield. The Japanese commander of Yushe County led the last squadron of Japanese troops to guard the last two streets. Knowing that they would definitely die, the Japanese resistance here was extremely crazy, and the battle lines were intertwined.
, there was a pungent smell of sulfur in the air.
When they came here, Dabao said nothing to let Gao Hongming come forward. In desperation, Gao Hongming had no choice but to go to a building, go up to the second floor and watch the battle from the window.
Through the telescope, he could see a group of Japanese troops occupying a building more than 400 meters ahead, firing hard at the street with Type 92 heavy machine guns. About a platoon of Eighth Route Army soldiers were attacking them.
However, these Eighth Route Army soldiers all used 38-type rifles, which had very weak firepower. In the exchange of fire, they not only failed to take advantage, but also lost two soldiers.
Seeing this, Gao Hongming couldn't help but frown, and was about to speak when he saw a group of Liantai militia soldiers wearing German military uniforms coming next to him.
This group of soldiers is not large, just the size of a squad, but they carry an MG42 machine gun.
After this group of soldiers arrived, they immediately set up their machine guns, pointed the machine guns at the building, and pulled the trigger.
"Kakaka..."
Accompanied by a sound like tearing an oilcloth, the dense bullets immediately flooded the small shooting hole in the building a few hundred meters away.
The MG42 machine gun is indeed known as the best machine gun in World War II. After firing half of the bullets, the machine gun on the opposite side misfired.
"Hurry... rush over..."
When the Eighth Route Army platoon leader saw friendly troops coming for reinforcements, he immediately led his soldiers towards the Japanese stronghold without hesitation.
Moreover, Gao Hongming also discovered that when these Eighth Route Army soldiers charged, they did not rush forward in a hive, but moved forward covertly according to the terrain. Not only that, when they charged, dozens of soldiers charged, covered, shot and other tactical actions were connected.
He must be well organized and look like an experienced veteran.
Seeing this, Gao Hongming not only nodded secretly. Although he had passed on all the three-three systems learned by later generations some time ago, due to time constraints and the combat experience of the troops, the soldiers of the militia were not able to fully utilize the advantages of this tactic.
Bring it into play.
Although the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the opposite side are not as armed as the militiamen, their combat experience is obviously much richer than that of many militiamen. They look like veterans at first glance. Once such troops are equipped with advanced weapons, they can put them to good use.
The role will be huge.
While Gao Hongming was thinking, the Eighth Route Army had already reached the building occupied by the Japanese. Three Eighth Route Army soldiers quietly went downstairs, pulled out the grenades made in the border area, pulled the strings, and threw them at the shooting window at the same time.
"Boom boom boom..."
Accompanied by a huge explosion, the building was instantly demolished. Dust and smoke filled the sky for a while, and all the Japanese soldiers inside were buried in the ruins.
"Rush..."
Upon seeing this, the group of Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed in without hesitation.
Seeing this, Gao Hongming knew that the Japs in this building were doomed. Not many people could survive such an explosion. Those who survived several times would probably have little fighting power.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Although the remaining Japanese troops fought tooth and nail, facing the attack of tens of thousands of troops, their resistance melted as quickly as ice and snow under the scorching sun.
By about four o'clock in the afternoon, all the Japs in Yushe County were wiped out.
Gao Hongming, who had been observing all afternoon, also returned to the joint headquarters of the Liantai Militia and the 386th Brigade.
As soon as he returned to the headquarters, he saw that Ding Wei seemed to be saying something to Li Changan, but Li Changan looked very embarrassed and shook his head, as if he was rejecting something.
Li Changan saw Gao Hongming as soon as he entered the door. As soon as he saw his group returning, he hurried to Gao Hongming as if he saw a life-saving straw and said to Ding Wei: "Mr. Ding, our group is back, please tell him."
Yes, as long as the leader agrees, I will hand him over to you without saying a word, without any hesitation."
Gao Hongming asked curiously: "Hey...Old Ding, what good thing do you like about us again? Tell me about it."
