On August 20, at the Shouyang and Yuci sections of the Zhengtai Railway, outside the Xinzhuang Railway Station where Japanese troops were stationed by the Japanese independent ninth brigade.
"Captain, the combat mission assigned to our regiment this time is not good. It's just a Japanese train station and a few strongholds. What can we do?" Zhang Dabiao from the independent regiment's temporary headquarters came to Liu Gen and spoke softly.
said.
Li Yunlong glanced at Zhang Dabiao with some annoyance. Naturally, he would not be in a good mood after receiving such a combat mission. But the combat mission was issued by the division headquarters. Could it be that Li Yunlong was asked to go find the division commander? Li Yunlong did not dare.
In front of the brigade commander, Li Yunlong could sometimes be tough, but in front of the division commander, he couldn't do it.
"Okay, don't talk about it, kid. You failed to get a good combat mission, and your captain is in a bad mood. The battle has just begun, and there will be many battles in the future. In my opinion, just don't be anxious.
"Commissar Zhao said.
Li Yunlong looked at Political Commissar Zhao, "How can we not be anxious? Things like combat missions need to be fought over. How can we do it without fighting? The 772nd Regiment is acting with us, and we can't achieve a good record. I don't know what blind man Cheng will laugh at.
Where is I, Li Yunlong."
"Look, it's here again." Zhao Gang said helplessly.
Kong Jie stood up, came to the map, and studied it carefully. Kong Jie knew Li Yunlong's temper. Now that Li Yunlong was obviously in a bad mood, how could he choose to come forward and scold him?
"Kong Jie, what are you looking at? Stop pretending." Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie and said directly.
Kong Jie raised his head, not paying attention to Li Yunlong's attitude, "Old Li, please do some research. Our group is in the direction of Xinzhuang, and there are many Japanese strongholds and stations in the surrounding area."
"Don't forget why we are fighting this time. As long as we can destroy the Japanese railway and transportation, then our strategic goal can be achieved. As long as we can do this well, are you, Li Yunlong, worried that there are not enough Japanese to kill for you?"
Li Yunlong's eyes widened, like bells. Damn it, now this idiot Kong Er is actually trying to teach him a lesson? When he first learned about the combat mission of the Independent Regiment, Kong Er was the guy who shouted the most fiercely, but now he is
Start being a good person.
"Captain, the time is almost up." Noticing Li Yunlong's expression, Zhao Gang reminded him.
Li Yunlong nodded and gave up the idea of scolding Kong Jie, "In twenty minutes, the troops of our independent regiment left to launch attacks on various Japanese strongholds in the Xinzhuang area. I have only one request, and that is to do so in the shortest possible time.
Kill the Japs in this area."
"Cooperate with the militiamen of the county brigade and district squad to destroy the railways in this area. If we can transport it away, we will transport it directly. Don't leave anything behind for the devils."
"Yes!" Liu Gen and others stood up, looking solemn.
Looking at Liu Gen who was standing aside, Li Yunlong spoke again, "Genzi, take half of your artillery battery and follow the first battalion to attack the Japanese train station set up in Xinzhuang. The rest of the artillery battery soldiers are assigned to each unit attacking the stronghold.
Don't be petty, take out all the artillery shells, and try to capture the Japanese stronghold in this area in the shortest possible time!"
Liu Gen nodded vigorously. During this period, the Independent Regiment had accumulated some artillery shells. It was still feasible to be more luxurious. Liu Gen also knew the importance of this combat operation. What was needed was to capture the Japanese strongholds in the shortest possible time.
Destroy the Japanese railways and transportation arteries.
"As for the cavalry company, I will rely on your mobility to set aside some to guard the perimeter. Once any traces of the Japanese are found, report them immediately. The other part will bring explosive packs to help me clear the bridges, tunnels, etc. in this area.
I want to bring all traffic in this area to a standstill!" Li Yunlong looked at Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company. This time, the task of the cavalry company was still a bit heavy.
Of course, since there was no need to fight the Japs, the cavalry company would not suffer any casualties easily. The cavalry company had previously fought behind the Japs and achieved good results, but Li Yunlong was quite distressed by the casualties suffered by the cavalry company soldiers.
Sun Desheng just wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Yunlong's serious eyes, he chose to give up. He knew that it was useless to speak.
"Political Commissar Zhao, try your best to organize the masses. After we kill the Japs, organize them to dismantle the Japs' railways and transport them away. The arsenal in the rear needs a lot of rails to make mortars." Li Yunlong ordered again.
Zhao Gang nodded. He had already considered this matter, so naturally there wouldn't be any problems.
In twenty minutes, Liu Gen followed the First Battalion to a distance of less than 500 meters from Xinzhuang Railway Station. Even at night, the Japs still conducted strict patrols. A Japs train transporting supplies could be seen at this time.
When they stopped at Xinzhuang Railway Station and saw the train, Liu Gen and Zhang Dabiao were a little excited. Maybe they could make a good seizure this time.
"Genzi! It depends on your artillery company." Looking at Liu Gen, Zhang Dabiao said.
Liu Gen nodded. Some soldiers ignited the thunder cannon in advance. He only brought one thunder cannon. Liu Gen chose to use this one because he considered that there was a barbed wire fence around the Jaap Railway Station. Facing the barbed wire, the flying thunder cannon had unique effects.
The small destructive force is used to destroy the barbed wire fences arranged by the Japanese. Naturally, there is no need to pursue precision.
"Shells!" Liu Gen personally controlled an 81mm mortar with a serious look on his face.
A soldier handed the cannonball to Liu Gen and took it steadily. Liu Gen shouted loudly: "Let go!"
Immediately, the prepared soldiers put the shells directly into the mortars, and several shells fell directly towards the Japanese train station. Liu Gen and others did not stop their movements, and the shells flew out as if they were free of charge.
, kept landing in the Japs’ train station, blowing up the Japs and knocking people off their feet.
"boom"
The explosive package placed in the thunder cannon flew out, and after two or three seconds of flight, it landed next to the Japanese barbed wire fence. With a bang, an obvious large hole was blown open in the barbed wire fence arranged by the Japanese soldiers.
The Japs in the train station couldn't help but tremble when they heard such a noise, and looked frightened. How could there be heavy artillery on Tubal Road? In the eyes of these Japs, only heavy artillery can make such a loud noise, but
How come Tubal Road has heavy artillery? Or is it that Tubal Road who attacked the train station is the main force among the main forces?
"boom"
A shell fell around the Japs, and the shrapnel sliced through several Japs who had no time to dodge. Blood poured out from the Japs' wounds, and several Japs wailed in pain. The shrapnel from the shell entered their bodies and stayed directly inside, leaving the Japs
He could only collapse to the ground in pain, losing his fighting power!
"Blow the charge horn!" Zhang Dabiao shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Dabiao shouted and led the soldiers to rush towards the Jaap Railway Station. The charge horn sounded, making the soldiers rush faster and harder. There had been no fighting for a while, and the soldiers of the first battalion were like tigers emerging from the cage.
