Chapter 221: The Anti-Encirclement and Suppression Attack on Jinzhong City (2)
Chapter 221 Counter-Encirclement and Suppression: Attacking Jinzhong City (2)
"Commander! The front has been reconnoitred clearly! There is a Japanese checkpoint on the road five kilometers away from us, which is also the first line of defense for the Japanese in Jinzhong City!" Liu Xiaogang, the captain of the special operations brigade, came to Liu Hua who was resting.
Said!
"Damn! It's so fast. I didn't expect the Japanese defenses to be so tight! Can you be more specific?" Liu Hua frowned!
"Yes, Commander! In order to prevent someone from destroying a large amount of supplies in Jinzhong City, the Japanese army began to set up checkpoints five kilometers away from the county seat! According to the results of the reconnaissance just now, from here to the county seat! The Japanese army has a total of two checkpoints
!" Liu Xiaogang replied.
"Can we just sneak around from both sides and attack the county seat directly without passing through the Japanese checkpoint?" Liu Hua asked.
"No, Commander! These two checkpoints are located in strategic places. If it is a small army of dozens of people, it is possible! But it is impossible for our large army of several thousand people to bypass it! In addition, we still have
With dozens of cannons, it's even more impossible!" Liu Xiaogang answered affirmatively.
"Correspondent! Map of Jinzhong City! Captain Liu, mark the Japanese checkpoints! By the way, can you explain to everyone the deployment of Japanese troops?" Liu Hua ordered, looking at the map that had been spread out.
"Japanese checkpoints are occupied at these two mountain passes respectively! The terrain of these two places is difficult! Only through the checkpoints can our large troops pass! In addition, the Japanese army has deployed a small team of troops at each checkpoint. The specific situation is like this
"There is another situation! Each checkpoint has a telephone or radio. After being attacked! Jinzhong City will know the situation immediately?" Liu Xiaogang pointed to the map and answered!
"Comrades! It seems that the Japanese will not give us the chance to make a sneak attack! Since we can't make a sneak attack, we will attack by force! Anyway, the purpose of our attack on the county town is to attract the main force of the Japanese army to return for reinforcements. Captain Liu Xiaogang of the Special Operations Brigade!" Liu Hua looked around the surrounding area.
The cadre beside him ordered!
"Here, Commander!" Liu Xiaogang stood up!
"Order! The special operations team must capture the two Japanese checkpoints within one day tomorrow! Clear the way for the main force to move forward smoothly! Are there any difficulties?" Liu Hua ordered.
"Yes! Commander, the special operations brigade will resolutely complete the mission! Open a path for the main force to advance!" Liu Xiaogang replied solemnly.
"Okay! I believe in the Special Operations Brigade! Staff Officer Wang."
"Here, Commander!" Staff Wang, who followed Liu Hua out, stood up!
"Well, your task is to send a report to the three main regiments! Let them gather here before dark tomorrow! Also, through the radio, count the casualties of the three regiments as quickly as possible! If you want to know each other, you must
You must know your friends first!" Liu Hua ordered.
"Yes! Commander, I will compile the results as soon as possible!" Staff Officer Wang replied.
"Okay! Everyone's mission is clear! We will camp here tonight and wait for the good news from the special operations team! Let's split up!" Liu Hua announced the adjournment of the meeting.
After the meeting, Liu Xiaogang went straight to the gathering place of his troops. At this time, several soldiers were sitting together, eating marching dinner! Or lying on the ground to rest...
"Xiao Wang! Call some squadron leaders and let's go scout the enemy together! Tell them that we have a mission." Liu Xiaogang ordered the guards behind him.
"Yes, captain." After saying that, he ran out without waiting for Liu Xiaogang to nod! Looking at the guards disappearing into the night, Liu Xiaogang shook his head. However, several squadron captains arrived very quickly! No.
After a few minutes, several people ran up to Liu Xiaogang panting.
"Captain! What important mission is there? Just now Xiao Wang said there was an important mission, so I hurried over." The captain of the first squadron asked, wiping the sweat on his forehead.
"Look at you! Ask about the tasks as soon as you come. Don't worry! There are many tasks. I'm afraid you won't have time to complete them when the tasks come!" Liu Xiaogang replied with a smile.
"Captain, I'm really anxious! You don't know that during this period, our special operations brigade has been on reconnaissance missions! They watched the little Japs passing by, but they couldn't move. The soldiers were all anxious! What did they ask me every day?
You can go out and take care of the little devils." The leader of the first squadron replied with a smile!
"It's you who thinks about fighting Japanese soldiers every day! You even said it to the soldiers. I'm so embarrassed to say it." Liu Xiaogang asked with a smile.
"Everyone is here! Come, follow me to see the Japanese checkpoints! The commander gave our special operations brigade the task of using tomorrow to remove the two checkpoints in front of us!" Liu Xiaogang said and led everyone to
The first Japanese checkpoint was visited.
In less than twenty minutes! Liu Xiaogang and others arrived at a valley with lush woods. Through the gaps between the trees, a faint light on the road could be seen!
"Comrades, pay attention! The Japanese army's first checkpoint is ahead!" Liu Xiaogang interrupted several squadron leaders who were chatting and reminded them.
Sure enough, after walking for less than two minutes! The group came to a place less than 200 meters away from the Japanese military checkpoint and stopped.
At this time! Everything at the Japanese military checkpoint was clearly displayed in front of everyone under the bright light of the searchlight.
"Captain! The commander asked us to seize the checkpoint in front of us! Is there artillery support?" asked the second squadron leader.
"Artillery support! What does our special operations brigade need to do when we have artillery?" Liu Xiaogang began to carefully observe the Japanese checkpoint.
The checkpoint occupies the only passage in the valley. Two machine gun bunkers made of sandbags appear at the front! Through the telescope, you can clearly see two Japs guarding each bunker, one of whom is holding a light machine gun vigilantly.
Looking at the road.
"Captain, the Japanese defense is too tight! If the artillery had not destroyed the two machine gun positions in front of us, the soldiers would have suffered heavy casualties!" said the leader of the third squadron.
"Well! I know it too, so I want everyone to come up with a solution!" Liu Xiaogang said with a frown. Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the roar of a car reached everyone's ears. Everyone quickly looked for the sound and saw two cars appearing in everyone's field of vision, heading towards the first checkpoint.
. The two cars turned on their headlights and passed through two machine gun positions. They stopped in front of a sentry post. The first car handed out something like a pass. Within half a minute, the two cars started again, easily.
Passed the checkpoint.
Seeing this, a battle plan suddenly appeared in his mind. Liu Xiaogang's frown suddenly relaxed. He looked at the squadron leaders around him, and everyone was smiling.
"It seems that everyone has thought of a solution. Let's go! Go back and assign combat tasks!" Liu Xiaogang turned around and walked towards the way he came. Since he had a good strategy to defeat the enemy, everyone went back very quickly. In less than 20 minutes, everyone gathered again
Temporary headquarters.
"I won't go into details. The task assigned to us by the commander is to take down the two checkpoints on the road! Now we assign a combat mission: Captain No. 1 Squadron."
"Arrived!" the leader of the first squadron replied resoundingly.
"Your mission is to ambush on both sides of the road and seize a few Japs cars. By the way, remember to seize a few Japs uniforms. This is the key. Second Squadron?"
"Here we go!" The captain of the second squadron stood up excitedly.
"You set off overnight and lead your troops to ambush where we just ambush. After the first squadron starts attacking, immediately launch a charge! Eliminate the remaining Japanese at the checkpoint. The third squadron is the reserve team and prepare to eliminate the second checkpoint!" Liu Xiaogang ordered!
arrive!
"Yes, captain!" After hearing the order, the two squadron leaders replied in unison!
"Are the tasks clear? If so, everyone will start to act separately..." Liu Xiaogang ordered.
At this time, almost five hours had passed since the meeting ended. The captain of the No. 1 Squadron was quietly lying in the woods on both sides of the road with his troops. Although after several hours of ambush, everyone was very tired! But due to the usual
After hard training, the soldiers were still staring at the road in high spirits. Finally, the roar of cars reached everyone's ears. The soldiers raised their guns almost at the same time.
The first squadron leader raised his binoculars and saw three Japanese cars slowly approaching his ambush circle! There were seven or eight Japanese soldiers standing crookedly on each car, without any warning. There was a light machine gun on the roof of the car.
, but the machine gunner seems to have fallen asleep.
"Inform all squads to prepare for battle! Remember, you must not let a little Japs go." The leader of the first squadron ordered, and at the same time he took out the pistol at his waist.
After receiving the battle order, the soldiers quietly loaded their weapons! The snipers aimed at the Japanese driver and machine gunner, all waiting for the squadron leader's order...
"Comrades, fight!" the squadron leader shouted loudly! At the same time, the right hand holding the pistol tightly also pulled the trigger, firing the first shot of the ambush and the first shot of the Jinzhong Battle.
At the same time, a sparse sound of rifles sounded! It was a dozen snipers from a squadron. Under their guns, the entire Japanese transport team lost half of its combat effectiveness at the beginning of the battle. Three cars were parked crookedly.
On the highway, he became a target for the soldiers.
"Da da da..." Immediately afterwards, the sound of machine guns and rifles rang out! Intense bullets swept towards the Japanese car, and the remaining Japanese soldiers had not yet reacted to the sudden attack! Half of the troops fell again, and the remaining soldiers
Several Japanese soldiers who reacted quickly relied on the cover of the car to fight back. Since they had to completely capture these cars and more than a dozen complete Japanese military uniforms, the soldiers could not use grenades. Facing several hidden Japanese soldiers, the soldiers basically
There is nothing we can do! However, for snipers, these stubborn Japanese are no problem.
