Chapter 222: The Anti-Encirclement and Suppression Attack on Jinzhong City (3)
Chapter 222 Counter-Encirclement and Suppression: Attacking Jinzhong City (3)
"Bang..." A sharp gunshot sounded! A Japs hiding in the car, preparing to fight back, fell under the sniper's gun. Then, there were two more gunshots, and a Japs were hit by two bullets at the same time.
In the middle, his whole head was almost shattered and he fell into a pool of blood. In this way, in less than two minutes, under the precise strikes of snipers, the battlefield fell into silence. The soldiers rushed out of the woods where they were hiding,
Start cleaning the battlefield.
"Squadron Captain! There are still two cars that can be driven. This is a pass for the Japanese to go to Jinzhong to collect supplies." The deputy squadron leader took out a piece of paper full of Japanese writing and said.
"Enough! Two cars are enough. Order all the machine gunners to change into Japanese military uniforms? Bring me the Japanese second lieutenant's military uniform! Change your equipment and be ready to go!" said the squadron leader, looking at the pass in his hand.
"Yes, captain! I'll go and assign the task right away." After the vice captain said that, he walked towards the two cars parked on the road!
"Beep..." A sound of car horns reached the ears of the Second Squadron who was ambushing the Japanese army not far from the checkpoint.
"Comrades, prepare to fight!" After receiving the signal from the first squadron, the captain of the second squadron quickly ordered.
I saw two cars with their headlights on, swaggering through the Second Squadron's position, heading for the inspection battle not far away! Under the cover of their military uniforms and cars, everyone successfully passed the two Japanese machine guns.
position.
"Baga! Stop for inspection." Suddenly, a Japanese soldier stood in the middle of the road, blocking his way!
"Rush over! Comrades, get ready for battle..." the squadron leader said to the driver beside him. At the same time, he picked up a newly captured light machine gun and pointed the muzzle at the Japanese outside the car window...
"Baga! Stop the car quickly and get checked, or we'll shoot!" Looking at the car that was getting closer and closer without slowing down at all, the Japanese standing on the road showed a horrified look and raised the rifle in his hand.
Several Japanese soldiers also noticed something was wrong and began to be alert.
"Comrades, fight..." Seeing that the Japanese army seemed to have discovered something? The squadron leader did not hesitate anymore and shouted loudly. At the same time, the light machine gun in his hand also sprayed flames at the Japanese dormitory at the checkpoint.
At this moment, the two cars were no longer ordinary cars. The six machine guns on each car were like a moving fortress, constantly spraying out dense bullets! Those Japanese soldiers exposed to the sight of the soldiers
, they had been beaten into a hornet's nest long ago! The worst thing was that the Japanese on the two machine gun positions were turned into pulp by the machine guns from behind before they could react.
"Tick tock..." As the gunshots of the first squadron rang out, the second squadron also launched a charge. Without the threat of the machine gun position! The soldiers were overwhelming. They rushed into the Japanese checkpoint without suffering any casualties.
At this time, the Japs exposed outside had basically been eliminated by the first squadron! All the remaining Japs huddled in the barracks and waited for reinforcements. You know, this kind of street fighting is the specialty of the special operations brigade! Under the cover of the intensive firepower of two cars,
Next, the soldiers slowly moved to the side of the Japanese barracks and eliminated the Japanese soldiers inside one by one. The whole process was over in less than 15 minutes. All the Japanese soldiers in a small group fell to the guns of the special operations brigade.
The first Japanese checkpoint was captured by the soldiers! But for the second one, Liu Xiaogang was in trouble! The old method would definitely not work. In the end, the leader of the first squadron, who was responsible for the assault, thought of a good method... As the sky
Gradually it gets brighter! Two cars filled with sandbags appeared in front of everyone.
It turned out that the captain of the No. 1 Squadron thought of the intensive firepower on the car just now, so he came up with the idea of using a car to charge. Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the soldiers in the car during the charge, a lot of sandbags were piled on the entire car!
Except for a gap left at the driver's eye and several machine gun shooting holes! Even the top of the car was covered with water-splashed quilts! However, these quilts were captured by the Japanese army, and the soldiers would only feel distressed...
"The Third Squadron is following the armored vehicle! Get ready to go..." The captain gave the order excitedly as he looked at the two vehicles that were armed to the teeth.
So! The first coordinated infantry-tank operation in the history of the independent division began.
Two heavy cars started to move, and hundreds of soldiers slowly followed behind the cars and approached.
Finally, half an hour later, the enemy's second inspection battle appeared in everyone's sight. The leader of the first squadron, who was responsible for the assault, quickly raised the telescope in his hand and looked through the shooting hole.
At this time, as expected before the war, the Japanese already knew that the first checkpoint would be attacked and the entire army would be wiped out. They were preparing for it seriously, hoping to block the Eighth Route Army's path with the help of difficult terrain and solid fortifications.
"Da da da..." When the car drove 200 meters away from the Japanese army, two Japanese machine gun positions opened fire.
"Haha, I didn't expect that our earthen tanks can actually be beaten! Order the soldiers to open fire and let the little devils taste the damage of our earthen tanks. Keep moving forward and don't stop." The captain of the first squadron looked at the bullets flying by the Japanese army and they were all sandbags.
He blocked the car and shouted loudly.
Immediately, more than a dozen machine guns on the two cars fired. It was several times the enemy's firepower, and it was so commanding! It suppressed the Japanese troops so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads.
"Baga! When did the Eighth Route Army have armored vehicles? Bastard, what are you doing with your head down? Get up and fight back immediately!" the Japanese squad leader cursed loudly at a machine gunner hiding behind a sandbag.
However, just when the Japanese team leader was at a loss, the two tanks, relying on their rough skin and thick flesh, had already advanced to less than 50 meters away from the Japanese position. Behind the car, hundreds of special forces troops were under the cover of the car.
It has slowly taken over the position!
"Comrades, hit me as hard as you can, let the little devil know how powerful our special operations brigade is." Looking at the Japanese position where bullets were flying everywhere, the captain of the first squadron shouted excitedly.
Finally! Two cars rushed to the front of the position. The Japanese soldiers who were guarding the position were forced to abandon dozens of corpses and fled back to the barracks in embarrassment. They wanted to use the profit-making room to continue to resist! But he didn't know that his opponent was not an ordinary Eighth Route Army soldier.
, but a well-trained special operations brigade.
"Comrades, charge! Kill the remaining Japs..." the soldiers of the Third Squadron shouted, rushing into the ruins of the Japs barracks...
"Report to the captain, all the Japanese troops at the two checkpoints have been eliminated! A total of seven of our team members were killed and 21 were injured."
"Well, very good. Order each squadron to withdraw from the battle, rest for four hours, and then conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the outskirts of Jinzhong as a squad."
"Yes, Captain!"
"Wait a minute, tell the first squadron and ask them to hide the two cars. Maybe the commander will use them later." Liu Xiaogang stopped the correspondent who was about to leave and said.
"Yes, captain. I will go and deliver the order right away." After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the position.
At this time, Liu Hua's temporary headquarters was extremely lively! Because after a night of rapid marching, the first and second regiments of the rapid reaction brigade had already come to join together, and the third regiment only needed a few hours to arrive.
"Staff Wang, inform the artillery regiment to assemble immediately! Count the number of artillery shells. Also, hurry up and count the casualties of each regiment."
"Commander Zhou, go to the special operations brigade immediately to find Captain Liu! Find a way to contact the militia organization in a subdivision around the county! I will be in urgent need then!" Liu Hua ordered.
Watching the two staff officers leaving, Liu Hua picked up the intelligence that had just been sent from the underground party in Jinzhong! He discussed the war with the two regiment leaders.
"Report to Commander, the mission was successfully completed. This is the loss of each regiment and the amount of ammunition for each artillery regiment."
"Yes! Yes, there are more than 5,000 people in the three regiments who can participate in the battle. Each artillery gun has an average of 15 rounds, which is enough to capture Jinzhong." Liu Hua said excitedly.
"Report to the commander..." Liu Hua raised his head and saw Staff Officer Zhou coming to him with two cadre-looking comrades.
"Who are these two, Staff Officer Zhou?"
"Commander! This is Captain Li of the County Brigade in Jinzhong City, and this is Political Commissar Luo of the County Brigade! Two comrades, this is the Commander Liu I'm telling you about." Staff Officer Zhou introduced.
"Hello, Chief..." After listening to Staff Zhou's introduction, the two of them saluted at the same time.
"Okay, hello everyone. Captain Li, Political Commissar Luo. I invited you here today to ask you to help us. I won't say anything to be polite. Can any of you introduce to me the situation of your county brigade?" Liu Hua asked
road.
"Chief, let me introduce you!" Political Commissar Luo said.
"Our county brigade is a battalion-level organization with four companies and a total of 500 people. However, the weapons are very poor. There are only four light machine guns in total. There are also soldiers who will join a company without weapons..." Political Commissar Luo introduced.
"Don't worry about weapons. We will capture Jinzhong County and I will supply them all for you!" Liu Hua said with a smile.
"Chief! Are you going to attack Jinzhong? That's great! A large amount of military supplies have been put in Jinzhong County. I watch the Japanese transporting them in and out every day. I don't even know how much my mouth is watering! That's great..." Captain Li was excited...
answer.
"Captain Li, I understand how you feel! Captain Li, does the county brigade have any soldiers who are particularly familiar with the terrain in the city? When we attack the county, we must have comrades who are familiar with the terrain to lead the way. Also, can you do it in the shortest possible time?
How many militiamen and ordinary people must be summoned? Let's capture the county town, and the materials inside must be transported!" Liu Hua asked.
"Chief, don't worry, the county brigade has a company of soldiers to meet your requirements! Militia? Give me a day, I can mobilize at least 5,000 villagers!" Captain Li thought for a while and said.
"Okay, very good, Captain Li! You go to mobilize now. I will send a radio station to follow you and we can keep in touch at any time! Political Commissar Luo will stay for now and have a meeting! The headquarters has other combat tasks for your county brigade.
Staff Officer Wang, please inform the cadres above the battalion to come to the headquarters for a meeting immediately." Liu Hua said excitedly.
