Predator Reborn

Chapter 121 Breaking War (3)

Seeing the oncoming Chinese soldiers, the Japanese squadron leader did not panic. He actually began to gather the troops in an orderly manner and slowly assembled into a circular position. After firing the loaded bullets in the rifle, he immediately

Change the formation. Several people form a smaller circular position, and several small circular positions are combined into a large circular position. Strictly follow the rules in the Army Infantry Drill Code, attach bayonets, and withdraw bullets...

Although the last round of Japanese shooting caused dozens of casualties to the soldiers, the battle-hardened regiment and battalion did not stay much longer. Facing the comrades lying on the ground, there was no sympathy, only grief and indignation.

Angry, all the remaining people have only one thought: to turn grief into strength, continue to rush towards the Japanese, and use the Japanese's heads to avenge their comrades. In the first round of collision, the two armies suffered casualties, but the ones who charged forward were

The soldiers did not struggle much with the Japs. The soldiers charging at the front avoided the Japs' sharp edge and continued to charge. Soon, the Japs were surrounded by the soldiers. The large circular position was completely disrupted by the soldiers.

.

In an instant, the entire position was filled with the sounds of bayonets clashing, guns clashing with guns, bayonets piercing flesh, and of course, the constant sound of shell gunfire. The Japanese retreated their bullets for their own sake, and the Eighth Route Army did not have to comply.

What is the standard for infantry training? Because the independent brigade is specially designed to deal with Japanese bayonets. Each battalion is equipped with certain melee weapons. All platoon leaders, deputy platoon leaders and above in a battalion are equipped with shell guns. The whole battalion has nearly 30 guns.

The shell guns opened fire one after another. When they saw a soldier in danger, they immediately shot over and ended the life of the complacent Japanese. Soon, under the double blow of the soldiers' bayonets and shell guns, there were fewer and fewer Japanese troops on the position.

After the squadron leader led by the Japs chopped down a soldier, he suddenly found that there were more and more Eighth Route Army soldiers around him, while there were fewer and fewer imperial soldiers. The squadron leader immediately realized that something was wrong, and roared loudly, and the remaining Japanese soldiers

They all moved closer to him, and soon dozens of Japanese troops gathered together. The Japanese troops gathered together soon formed a circular bayonet array again. They slowly broke out towards Yangquan, and in the desperate charge of the Japanese, even

Sometimes when faced with the shell guns in the hands of the soldiers, the Japs were not afraid at all. They raised a grenade and died with the soldiers next to them... Soon, after paying a certain price, the Japs opened a blood channel and took the remaining

About 20 Japanese soldiers fled into the county town in a hurry.

Faced with the crazy actions of the Japanese, the regiment leader Shen Qinghua was powerless. He couldn't let the soldiers also hold up grenades and perish with the Japanese army. If the commander knew about such a thing, with the commander's character of loving his soldiers like his own children, he would still be able to do so.

If you don't shoot yourself, no matter how great your military exploits are, you won't be able to forgive yourself for missing the greenskeeper.

Looking at the dozens of Japs who fled into the county, the regiment leader Shen Qinghua shook his head and immediately ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. The results of the battle were quickly tallied: except for the 20 or so Japs remnants who escaped, the entire squadron that left the city was wiped out.

, a total of 142 people were killed, including 82 rifles, 5 crooked light machine guns, 6 grenade launchers, and nearly 20,000 rounds of ammunition. 16 soldiers were killed and 45 were injured, 3 of whom were seriously injured.

The battalion outside the city was happily cleaning the battlefield, but the Japanese captain inside the city looked at the squadron leader of the second squadron who ran back with a gloomy look. He originally thought that his elite squadron of imperial troops could definitely defeat the Eighth Route Army outside.

, Unexpectedly, a squadron was almost wiped out. The captain looked at the squadron leader whose face was filled with gunpowder smoke in disbelief, with a horse-faced anger. "Baga, you idiot, the reputation of the Imperial Army is all over."

You should apologize to His Majesty the Emperor for being so humiliated by you." The captain roared loudly.

At the same time, he also stopped underestimating the enemy. After losing two elite infantry squadrons, there was only one infantry squadron and a few baggage squadrons left in the city. The number of troops in the city was less than 500. If he wanted to defend such a large city, he would not underestimate the enemy.

The county seat, what should we do? Thinking that he could easily wipe out a squadron of the Eighth Route Army outside the city, as well as the terrifying mountain artillery, the captain did not feel a chill, and had confidence in his ability to defend the county seat.

It’s getting more and more insufficient. Baga, the captain said to himself. As a warrior of the empire, the captain felt ashamed of his thoughts just now. The county must be defended, the captain thought secretly.

Soon, a telegram asking for help was sent from Yangquan County, and the Japanese strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway were dispatched one after another, heading towards Yangquan with most of their mobile forces. Because every Japanese officer knew that Yangquan stored a large amount of the empire's

If the military supplies were lost, not only the current commander of Yangquan would be punished, but also those along the railway would be punished. Therefore, every Japanese officer sent the maximum number of troops he could to reinforce the county.

Of course, in order to create a real posture of attacking the county seat, regiment leader Shen Qinghua also put on a good show. After cleaning up an enemy squadron that left the city, he immediately handed over the captured weapons and ammunition to a company of his new regiment for replacement.

At the same time, he ordered the mountain artillery battery that had built the artillery position to fire again. Of course, the target this time was the city wall. Under the powerful artillery attack, from time to time, artillery shells fell directly on the city wall, throwing up Japanese soldiers.

's corpse.

Of course, the infantry was not idle either, leaving two infantry companies that had not been re-equipped to protect the mountain artillery company. Of course, the reason why only two companies were left was because Commander Shen Tuan believed that it would be impossible to dispatch troops with the remaining Japanese troops.

He went out of the city to sneak attack on his own artillery position. The remaining four companies with Japanese-style equipment were all sent out by Shen Qinghua, looking for opportunities to eliminate some small groups of Japs who came for reinforcements. Just like this, the fierce artillery fire was a charge of a company.

, really made the captain in the city think that the Communist army was going to attack the county town, and constantly urged reinforcements from the surrounding areas.

Of course, the enemy's troop mobilization was not hidden from the independent brigade investigators squatting outside the stronghold. As soon as the Japanese walked out of the stronghold, the investigators quickly reported the situation of the stronghold's troop mobilization to the commander-in-chief Sun Xingbang.

Soon, less than two hours after Captain Shen Qinghua led his team to attack the county town, a vacuum zone of nearly 40 miles appeared along the Zhengtai Railway. Only a few Japanese soldiers were left on guard in the strongholds along the way.

This small amount of Japanese troops is not enough to fill the gap between the more than 2,000 people under Sun Xingbang.

In this way, the soldiers who had been hiding for a long time, after receiving the order, quickly attacked and rushed towards the vacuum zone. As for the strongholds along the way, they were all shattered before they could resist under the bombardment of the two regiments of mortars.

(Since the Japanese army had just occupied the railway line and had not yet built fortifications such as gun towers, they only had some sandbag fortifications. Therefore, in the face of mortar bombs, they could only be hit by the bombs, not even a place to hide. They could only be destroyed quickly)

Soon, the railway line truly became a no-man's land. The soldiers picked up the prepared tools, rushed onto the railway, and began to scrape the rails and destroy the roadbed... It didn't take long before raging fires were ignited everywhere on the railway. Of course,

These fires were all caused by railway sleepers. There were continuous explosions. In just a few hours, several kilometers of railway were torn clean by soldiers. All the sleepers were burned down and the rails could be destroyed.

Everything that could not be taken away was taken away, and what could not be taken away was buried on the spot. Even the small railway nails were looted under Liu Hua's order, leaving only the dug roadbed full of holes on the entire railway...

As for the Japanese troops who were reinforcing the county seat, they were awakened by the distress telegram from their stronghold before they arrived at the county seat. When they inquired again, there was no response from the stronghold. The Japanese soldiers who understood it came back to help, but when they returned to their stronghold

At that time, I was completely stupid. Because there was only a ruin in the entire stronghold, and all the useful things in the stronghold were looted. And the railway next to the stronghold, by the way, can no longer be called a railway, because you can only see countless things along the line.

The fire keeps burning...

At this time, the two victorious regiments, led by Sun Xingbang, had returned to their temporary base with the seized materials and stripped rails...

The four companies sent out by Commander Shen Shuqing also achieved fruitful results. In just a few hours, the four companies wiped out three reinforcements that came for reinforcements, and another squadron of Japanese troops was wiped out. After receiving the general

After receiving the telegram from Sun Xingbang that he had successfully completed the mission, Shen Shuqing quickly ordered the mountain artillery company to retreat. With the captured supplies, he quietly withdrew from Yangquan County and returned to the station before the enemy could react.

In this way, after a night of fighting, a total of nearly 4 kilometers of the Zhengtai Railway was completely damaged and could not be repaired. The captain of the Yangquan garrison received the news without saying anything and had his belly broken in the early morning of the next day.

suicide……

Sun Xingbang led two regiments. In order to avoid Japanese revenge, they evaded Japanese reconnaissance planes under the cover of mountains and continued to wait in hiding. A few days later, just when the Japanese thought that the Eighth Route Army that had destroyed the railway had retreated, they relaxed.

At that time, Sun Xingbang led two regiments to set off again. Under the cover of the powerful firepower of the mountain artillery company, they once again conducted a thorough attack on the railway west of Yangquan. The strongholds encountered along the way (due to the destruction of Yangquan supplies)

, a large amount of supplies and soldiers were lost. The newly appointed captain withdrew a large number of troops from along the railway to guard the county and protect supplies. As a result, the enemy strength in the strongholds along the way was less than half of the original number.) In the attack of the mountain artillery company and mortar company

Due to the experience of destroying the railway the previous time, the soldiers were particularly handy this time and once again destroyed nearly 2 kilometers of railway before local reinforcements arrived.

After two raids, the railway linking Yangquan with the outside world was completely interrupted. Judging from the extent of the damage to the railway, it would have been impossible to open the railway to traffic without half a month of repairs.

Facing the paralyzed railway, the Japanese army's shortage of supplies on the front line is now even more scarce. The ammunition reserves in the hands of frontline soldiers are less than half of what they were during the war. The cannons have no shells, and the soldiers have no food... The Japanese army's original strong offensive is finally under way.

This situation of lack of clothing and ammunition slowed down, and it provided good support to the Kuomintang troops and the Eighth Route Army troops in western Shanxi on the frontal battlefield.

In this way, the mission of this raid was successfully completed. However, in order not to lead the enemy's target to the Shandong base area, the two regiments led by Sun Xingbang stayed in Yangquan for half a month. After the enemy gave up the search

, and then slowly drove towards the base area with the seized materials and rails.
