"Political Commissar, more than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops are gone again. As long as we maintain this intensity of attack for another hour, I estimate that the Japanese and puppet troops on the city will be almost exhausted by us!" Wang Ping said happily.
Political commissar Huang Yuanqiang was also very happy, but very heartbroken.
"Captain, if we attack like this, even the Japanese who are defending the city will not be able to withstand our bombing. I just calculated that the mortar platoon cooperating with the first battalion's attack used almost 120 rounds of mortars."
artillery shells and more than twenty infantry artillery shells!”
"Totaling all the battalions together, the number of artillery shells consumed must be more than 600 rounds. If the fight continues like this, at least 500 artillery shells will be used. That is to say, our new regiment robbed a Japanese army column not long ago.
I have a lot of ammunition in hand, which can withstand the trenches. Put it in the hands of other units of the Eighth Route Army. It would be a blessing to have 200 rounds of artillery shells for such a siege battle!"
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Political Commissar, you think too much!"
"In order to capture Xiangfen, we did have to use more than a thousand artillery shells. However, after capturing Xiangfen, the benefits will be greater than we imagined! Therefore, I am sure that we will never defeat this critical battle.
Suffer!"
Huang Yuanqiang's eyes immediately shot out two rays of light.
Staring at Wang Ping, he asked: "Captain, what do you say? How do you know we won't suffer a loss!"
"Definitely not!" Wang Ping replied confidently.
"Although there is only one Japanese garrison stationed in Xiangfen, this garrison is a mixed brigade, including not only a mortar squadron, but also a heavy machine gun squadron!"
"Although these Japs are only garrison troops, they are also the troops that have the most contact with our Eighth Route Army. Therefore, their ammunition reserves have always been very sufficient. If nothing else, Xiangfen County has at least three basic Japs' various ammunition reserves."
"As long as we can capture the county seat, all these ammunition will be seized by us!"
Huang Yuanqiang was stunned for a moment before he realized: "If the formation has so much ammunition reserves, in order to capture Xiangfen County, I would agree to use an additional 500 rounds of artillery shells!"
At the Japanese garrison headquarters in Xiangfen County, just five minutes ago, the military police team that had just completed its assembly was dispatched by Major Hepburn.
At this time, Major Hepburn had no redundant subordinates except for more than twenty civilian staff officers and communications troops.
Just when he was frowning and thinking about what to do if someone came to ask for help, the adjutant came back.
"Sir, a total of 135 expatriate armed forces were gathered. I divided them into three squads and assigned three second lieutenants from the headquarters to command them! Because many of them are veterans who have retired or have received short-term training.
They are young and strong with military training, so they can go to the battlefield at any time as long as the commander gives the order!"
Major Hepburn breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Yoshi, with these people in hand, the next battle will be much easier to fight!"
Less than ten minutes after the tense nerves had relaxed, a communications soldier rushed in.
"Sir, the north gate is in emergency, please continue to reinforce!"
The more than 100 troops that had just been obtained were all sent out by Major Hepburn in less than half an hour.
Just when his nerves were tense again, a burst of gunfire reached the headquarters, making Major Hepburn's face turn pale.
"Where was the gunshot?" Major Hepburn asked subconsciously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard at the door rushed in: "Sir, the gunfire came from the direction of the ammunition depot. It seems that the ammunition depot was attacked."
"Da da da... boom boom boom..."
Another burst of gunfire came from the other direction of the headquarters.
"The gunshots came from the direction of the material warehouse and the grain depot. Sir, these two places seem to have been attacked too!" the guard standing in front of him reported.
Major Hepburn frowned and shouted: "Who is it? Who is attacking our ammunition depot and grain depot! Contact the security forces immediately, be sure to guard the grain depot and ammunition depot, and repel the enemy attack!"
Several officers grabbed the phone and started talking on the phone.
However, no matter how hard they tried, the telephone calls to the ammunition depot and grain depot could not be answered.
More importantly, the gunfire from two directions lasted less than two minutes and ended.
Seeing that his subordinates had not answered the phone, Major Hepburn suddenly thought of two words: "It's over!"
"Da da da……"
The harsh sound of gunfire reached Major Hepburn's ears again.
"Bage Ya Road, the enemy is coming to our headquarters!" Faced with the sound of gunshots so close at hand, Major Hepburn reacted immediately and shouted.
The total number of guards at the headquarters is less than ten. As long as the attacking force has more than one platoon, it will definitely be able to break in easily.
After glancing at the panicked staff around him, he pulled out his gun and ordered: "Why are you panicking? Don't forget that you are all officers of the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan!"
"Distribute all the weapons immediately and prepare for battle... I must see who is hiding in the county to attack us!"
"Da da da..." Amidst the intensive gunfire, several guards only lasted less than two minutes before they were all killed.
A dozen Chinese armed with pistols and rifles rushed into the headquarters compound. They moved quickly and hid behind the surrounding corners and pillars as soon as they rushed into the yard.
"Machine gun cover, continue the attack, take down the Japanese headquarters, there are not many of them left!" the voice of Li Wen, the captain of the direct team, sounded at the door of the yard.
"Bah bang bang..." As soon as a few special operations team members showed up, several bullets flew out of the headquarters.
"Machine gun cover, sniper, kill the Japanese who appear...Assaulter, prepare grenades, rush in and greet with grenades, kill the remaining Japanese and puppet troops for me!" Li Wen ordered decisively.
"Da da da... boom boom boom..."
Amidst a series of violent explosions, the Japanese headquarters, which had been buzzing with gunshots just now, suddenly became quiet.
At the enemy headquarters of the New Regiment outside Xiangfen City, three signal bombs exploded inside the county town. Wang Ping, who had been staring at the battlefield, quickly flashed a smile on his face.
"The political commissar, the direct team and the reconnaissance platoon have captured the Japanese headquarters. Victory is in sight. Order the four battalions to strengthen the attack. The direct team will cooperate with their attack. They will enter Xiangfen City in ten minutes and clear out everything in the city in half an hour.
enemy!"
"Your mother goes up to organize the militia, guerrillas, and fellow villagers who support us. As soon as the battle is over, they will immediately go to the city to grab supplies!"
In the end, it only took the new regiment twenty minutes to eliminate all the Japanese in the city.
As soon as Wang Ping and Huang Yuanqiang reached the city gate, Li Wen rushed over with a smile.
"The regiment leader, the political commissar, has made a fortune! The Japanese ammunition depot is full of ammunition, including bullets, grenades, grenades and artillery shells!"
"Boxes one after another are piled up in the ammunition depot, like a mountain!"
Wang Ping ordered Huang Yuanqiang with an expression that he had known for a long time: "Political Commissar, it's up to you..."
