Chapter 299 Here comes a colorful tiger (ask for double monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)
“Only one person was trapped. He was on the pagoda of Xilin Temple. He was besieged by a Japanese infantry squad. According to Zhao Daqiang’s observation, he killed nearly 10 Japanese soldiers with several shots.”
Liu Yuqing’s face became solemn after hearing the report from the security regiment soldiers who rushed in regardless of the risk.
His eyes turned from the direction of Cangcheng, where artillery fire was still raging, to the two extremely excited officers of the security group: "If he is the crow you are talking about, then I can say now that he is the leader of our Songjiang army and the leader of Songhu
The role model in the war zone is the hero of all China."
“Thank you for the compliment, sir! All the brothers in the Songjiang Security Group will be proud of it!” Zhuang Shisan stood up straight, his pride mixed with sadness. “But I would rather my second lieutenant platoon leader be alive.”
"It's very difficult to survive!" Liu Yuqing's eyes flashed with pain. "You have just heard that the Japanese army, which has been unable to attack for a long time, is planning to use poison gas bombs again."
"His location is in an area controlled by the Japanese army. Moreover, the Japanese army also has poison gas bombs." Wang Gongyu's face showed grief, and he slowly shook his head and said: "We can't save him, we can't save him, even if all the brothers in my security group are killed,
Even if you pull him over and fight with the Japanese, you can't save him. Mr. Liu, I know you have tried your best. Let that brother withdraw! Don't try to get him involved just for his own sake. It's not worth it!"
"No, it can still be saved." Liu Yuqing took a deep breath, with determination on her face, and turned to look at the security regiment soldiers who ran for more than 400 meters in one breath with all their strength. After reporting, they collapsed in the fortification and gasped.
.
“Soldier, let me ask you, since you started running wildly without concealing your traces, have any Japanese soldiers shot at you?”
"Well, it shouldn't happen. I didn't hear the gunfire." The soldier thought about it carefully and answered with certainty.
“That’s it, the Japanese are planning to use crows to set a trap for us, waiting for us to get in!” Liu Yuqing said firmly.
“Commander Liu, we can’t go there anymore, the Japanese army is ready.” Wang Gongyu quickly advised.
"No, this is our only chance." Liu Yuqing shook his head in denial, glanced at the bewildered commander of the security group, and had no choice but to explain briefly: "The Japanese army wants to lay a trap, so naturally it is the commander in the neighborhood.
The officer hopes to gain results to make up for the previous consecutive losses, Commander Wang, do you think this is true?"
“That’s true, I would do the same thing if it were me.” Wang Gongyu nodded in agreement.
"People are ambitious. Those who serve as officials want to be the greatest official. The biggest dream of those who serve in the army is to become a general. Only in this way can they return home with honor and glory. The Chinese are like this, and the Japanese are no exception." Liu Yuqing
Continue the analysis.
“I just observed carefully in the neighborhood. The Japanese learned well after being bombarded by us, and they will never invest more than 300 people in search.
The Japanese have always been arrogant. For example, in the Songhu War Zone, they often used an infantry regiment to fight against an infantry division of our army. If they had 300 troops, the Japanese commander believed that he could withstand a battalion of our army.
Therefore, he is confident that when our army sends a small force to rescue, he can annihilate it. Even if there are more troops than he expected, he can at least block and wait for reinforcements from outside the block."
"Then this time, I want to let him know that the reason why they can confront our Chinese army at a strength of one to three is not because of how strong their infantry is, but because of the gap in heavy firepower between the two sides. Without heavy firepower
, they are just like that." Liu Yuqing snorted and looked fiercely at Zhuang Shisan, who was standing straight.
“Battlemaster Zhuang, if I allow it, do you dare to lead people into the neighborhood again to rescue your brother?”
“There is nothing we dare not do to save our own brothers. Please give me the order, sir. The 1st Battalion of the Songjiang Security Regiment will definitely return to the battlefield.” Master Zhuang stood at attention, his chest raised even higher than before.
“Okay, it’s good to have the courage to not be afraid of death!
I order the 1st Battalion of the Songjiang Security Regiment to abandon repairs and all uninjured brothers to join the battle. In order to strengthen the firepower, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Security Regiment will hand over all firearms such as shell guns, light machine guns, and submachine guns to your battalion for use.
At the same time, the infantry regiment where Xicheng is located will detach an infantry company to support your battalion with all its equipment on both wings.
Also, Commander Zhuang, please tell all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion that this is not a military order from the Songjiang headquarters, but an order from Xicheng Commander Liu Yuqing. They are not under my direct jurisdiction, and they can completely refuse this risky military operation.
However, please believe that if they fall into such a dangerous situation one day because of fighting the Japanese invaders, I, Liu Yuqing, will also issue such a military order. I, Liu Yuqing, will not give up any of my brothers fighting against the Japanese, that's it." Liu Yuqing
Order.
“Yes!” Zhuang Shisan accepted the order, turned around and strode away.
The soldiers of the security regiment took a short break to gain strength, saluted the two men, turned around and ran away.
“Mr. Liu, this is too risky, too risky. How can we, the Songjiang Security Team, be so virtuous and capable?” Wang Gongyu’s eyes welled up with tears, but he didn’t know how to refuse Liu Yuqing’s kindness, so he could only stamp his feet and mutter to himself.
He believed that the 1st Battalion of the Security Regiment, which had just withdrawn from the neighborhood, would accept this military order.
As a former politician, he may not understand, but after spending two days in the military camp and experiencing the war first-hand, the commissioner's thinking is constantly moving closer to his other identity - the commander of the Songjiang Security Group.
There may be sacrifices, but the significance of this battle is actually far greater than the result itself.
Because, from this moment on, those security regiment soldiers will truly believe that they will not be abandoned by anyone. They are soldiers of the militia and Chinese soldiers, as long as they fight the Japanese invaders.
Perhaps, not only the security regiment, but also the officers and soldiers of the 67th Army in Xicheng will also feel the same way.
Soldiers can risk their lives to fight the enemy on the battlefield. They can be fearless of bullets and bullets, and even forget about life and death, but they are also afraid of being abandoned after being injured.
They met many wounded soldiers like this on their way to Songjiang.
Lying on the roadside, his eyes numb, quietly waiting for death to come.
Their fate has been determined.
Either died from wound infection or died at the hands of the enemy, even if they still had some water and food at hand.
And now, their lieutenant general commander would not even give up a second lieutenant of a militia group that was surrounded by enemy troops, so how could he give up on them?
Although they re-entered the neighborhood battlefield that could be covered by Japanese artillery fire at any time, no one was worried about falling into danger again, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.
This is the role of the commander. He must not only be proficient in tactics, but also know how to read the hearts of the soldiers. Only when the officers and soldiers work together can they win this seemingly impossible blocking battle.
Of course, Liu Yuqing would not rashly throw four or five hundred people into the battlefield just for the sake of military morale. Soldiers are warriors, not tools.
In fact, he had made adequate preparations. The two mortar positions responsible for supporting Xicheng District had already obeyed his order and readjusted their muzzles to the edge of the block. If the Japanese infantry were defeated and asked for help, there would be a total of 16 150-weight mortars.
The edges of the neighborhood will be bombarded and cordoned off.
Of course, at this time, the Japanese artillery in Cangcheng was still showing off its majesty, and all the artillery positions in Songjiang City had not yet received military orders from the Songjiang headquarters.
The purpose of strengthening the 1st Security Battalion with short-range burst-fire firearms was also to quickly defeat the self-righteous Japanese infantry.
As for how to take advantage of the terrain to attack the Japanese infantry, that was Zhuang Shisan’s responsibility. Liu Yuqing also believed that the 1st Security Battalion, which had experienced several neighborhood battles, had enough methods to deal with it.
In addition to the close-hand 'hand-to-hand' combat used by the First Battalion of the Security Regiment, Liu Yuqing also specially added an insurance policy. The infantry company of the 67th Army, which is responsible for the two wings of the infantry company mainly equipped with rifles, light machine guns, and grenade launchers, is mainly used to sweep the formation for them.
Mainly long-range strikes.
Nakamura Futoshi, who was still dreaming of promotion, waited for Chinese reinforcements to arrive, but he did not expect that the Chinese, whom he thought he knew well, gave him such a big surprise and sent more than 440 people at once.
What is even more 'surprising' is that among the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the security regiment, which has concentrated all the continuous firepower of the security regiment, there are as many as 150 armed with shell guns, 40 submachine guns, and 20 light machine guns alone. This 100-meter
The intensity of firepower within the distance was incomparable to that of a Japanese infantry squadron, even the most elite guard company of the 644th Regiment beside Zaitang Dao.
That's it, not counting the infantry company that followed the 1st Security Battalion into the battlefield.
What is important is to gather the most ferocious firepower in the shortest possible time to stun the Japanese so that they do not even have time to release poison gas bombs.
All the soldiers were naturally well prepared for this aspect of defense. They all wore towels soaked in white wine, just like masked heroes.
Of course it is impossible for hundreds of people to enter the neighborhood through the city gate, otherwise they will be discovered by the Japanese observation post immediately.
The security battalion was a veteran in this area. Knowing that the moat was shallow and there were many houses, they sent an infantry company from the city gate through Zhongshan Street into the neighborhood to attract the attention of the Japanese troops. Everyone else waded through the water in one class.
Sneak into the neighborhood.
When Nakamura Fujun was happy, big pockets were waiting for the Chinese to enter. It didn't take long before the fire, he found that he didn't seem to wait for the pheasant in the imagination, but he came with a tiger.
This fucking feeling, really, there is no words to describe it.
