"God is really helping me. The second wave of reinforcements only has the little Japs No. 100. They rush to the front of the team. They are simply hitting our guns and seeking death..." Zhang Xuan became more and more excited as he watched. The light machine gun nearby began to issue orders.
"The light and heavy machine guns are concentrated in the pot to deal with the Japs in front... One platoon is blocking them from the front, and the second and third rows are outflanking them. They are encircling the Japs in the back. Not a single Japs can be allowed to escape!"
"Ready to fight!"
After saying that, he put his shoulder on the butt of the light machine gun, opened the safety, pulled the bolt, and was ready to shoot.
The Japanese marched very fast, and they rushed to Zhang Xuan in a blink of an eye.
With a slight swing of the machine gun barrel, a little Japs carrying a light machine gun was immediately put into the crosshairs.
When all the Japs got into the pocket array, he decisively pulled the trigger with his right finger.
The sound of shooting rang out from the barrel of the gun at the same time, and the recoil on the shoulder shook violently. The bullets flew out of the barrel, and the Japanese machine gunner and deputy shooter in the crosshairs fell to the ground.
Zhang Xuan immediately deflected the muzzle of the gun, put the other two Japanese soldiers next to him into the crosshairs, and pulled the trigger again.
"Da da da...dong dong dong..."
The sound of gunfire was an order, and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns ambushing Zhang Xuan all joined the battle.
Densely packed bullets were flying everywhere in the pocket array, and the little devils were swept to the ground one after another like ripe wheat.
When the surviving little devil hurriedly lay down, sixty or seventy corpses were already stolen around him.
But lying down doesn't mean you can survive.
This place happens to be in a hilly area. Although the hills where the secret agent company ambush are not high, they are still twenty or thirty meters high.
The bullets flew condescendingly towards the road, and even if the Japanese were lying on the ground, they could still get into their backs.
The puppet troops behind were blinded, but they were very lucky, and no machine gun fired at them.
The puppet troops of No. 100 actually suffered no casualties in the first round of fire attack, and they all lay on the ground.
Seeing the Japs in front being attacked and suffering heavy losses, a few die-hard traitors felt that the time had come for them to curry favor with the Japs. They immediately got up from the ground, raised their cannons and shouted: "Brothers, the Eighth Route Army attacking Taijun only has one reinforced company." ... We are twice as powerful as them, we will definitely win. Everyone rush with me, go around behind the Eighth Route Army to launch an attack, and respond to Taijun... Everyone stand up for me, everyone will be rewarded for rescuing Taijun, and whoever lies on the ground will not I'm going to shoot whoever... bang..."
The puppet army officer's shouts suddenly stopped. A bullet made a bloody hole in his chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain. He fell to the ground and became silent.
"Bang bang... bang bang bang..."
Many more gunshots rang out around them, and several traitors who were squatting on the ground and trying to rush out to rescue the little Japs were beaten to death.
Facing the sudden rain of bullets above their heads, the other puppet soldiers were so frightened that they quickly retracted their heads and did not raise their heads no matter who was shouting.
"We are the Eighth Route Army. We will not kill anyone unless we surrender our guns... Comrades, charge forward..."
Two platoons of the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to rush out from the hill, holding guns, like a group of unstoppable little tigers, howling and attacking the puppet troops.
The die-hard traitor in the team died, and several officers also died. The army was leaderless, and the puppet army suddenly lost its backbone.
Faced with the sudden attack of the Eighth Route Army, it was not a matter of grabbing and counterattacking, nor was lying on the ground waiting for death.
In the end, they decided to save their lives first before talking about anything else. They threw the weapons in their arms aside, held their heads in their hands, and lay motionless on the ground, waiting for the Eighth Route Army to kill them and take them as prisoners.
…………
At the Zhoukou stronghold, as soon as the second wave of reinforcements set off, the squadron leader stood on the top of the gun tower and watched them disappear at the end of the road.
This force is the only mobile force left in the stronghold. Once they leave, the garrison at the stronghold drops to two hundred people. If another accident happens outside, he will not be able to mobilize any soldiers unless the stronghold is no longer under his feet.
The result is whatever you are afraid of.
Less than five minutes after the second wave of reinforcements disappeared from sight, a fierce exchange of fire suddenly sounded three kilometers west of the stronghold.
The reinforcements were not equipped with heavy machine guns, but the sound of exchanges of fire from the battlefield included the sound of heavy machine gun fire, indicating that the Eighth Route Army was also very powerful on the battlefield three kilometers away.
The squadron leader held up the telescope and raised his head, trying to see clearly what the battlefield was like.
But there are several hills in between, and except for the black smoke rising from the battlefield, nothing else can be seen.
But it can be concluded from the sound of gunfire that the situation faced by the second wave of reinforcements may be worse than that of the first wave of reinforcements. In order to rush on the road, he did not equip them with any heavy weapons.
The opponent has heavy machine guns, and the two sides are head-to-head. If they cannot defeat the opponent's heavy firepower, all reinforcements will be beaten by the Eighth Route Army's heavy machine guns...
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he put down the telescope and ran to the command room, ordering: "All troops in the stronghold should enter the position and prepare for battle. Hurry up!"
"The telephone soldier called the brigade headquarters immediately. I want to speak to the commander and request reinforcements!"
…………
On the battlefield five kilometers west of the Zhoukou stronghold, except for sporadic rifle firing, all light and heavy machine guns have stopped firing.
The troops participating in the war were searching along the road for any fish that had slipped through the battlefield. When they found a suspicious target, they greeted it with bullets and then walked over to confirm the results of the battle...
This is the experience and lesson learned by the soldiers with their lives.
The Japs were too crazy. Under the brainwashing of Bushido, they would rather die than be captured.
After many Japanese soldiers were injured and lost their combat effectiveness, they deliberately hid among the corpses and detonated grenades when the Eighth Route Army approached, thus achieving the purpose of being loyal to the emperor. The army had suffered a lot in this regard in the past.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the troops were specifically required to clean up the battlefield. They were not allowed to turn over the corpses of Japanese and puppet soldiers with their hands.
"Captain..." Wei Dayong hurriedly ran towards Huang Yu, holding a newly captured major commander's command knife in his hand, his face almost burst into laughter, he was very happy.
"This is the commander's knife of the little Japanese captain that we captured. It is a military officer's knife. The Japanese captain was shot to death by our soldiers, and his head was blown open!"
"The Japanese artillery squad and the heavy machine gun squad were all killed in the first round of fire raids. Not a single bullet or shell was fired. They were all captured by us. Now our strength will be increased... …”
"More than 30 puppet soldiers from two companies died, and the remaining 170 or so were all taken as our prisoners..."
"There are still many puppet troops who were frightened by the firepower we exposed and have not reacted until now."
"I learned about it. Although the training of these puppet soldiers is not very good and they have little combat effectiveness, they can shoot guns and have been on the battlefield. They can adapt to the battlefield more easily than new recruits. There are many honest people among them who do not want to work for the devils. With a little mobilization, many people will definitely be willing to join us.”
"How about we replenish our troops while fighting, maybe when we return to the base area, the three companies will become three battalions."
Huang Yu thought for a while before answering: "It can be expanded, but the number must be controlled, otherwise it will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the gain will outweigh the loss."
"First send all the prisoners to the back and hand them over to the custody of the guerrillas. The instructors who will accompany the team will be mobilized to try to add three new recruits to each infantry squad, ensuring that each recruit is accompanied by more than three veterans. This can ensure The combat effectiveness of the troops will also enable the captive soldiers to integrate into the troops as quickly as possible and form combat effectiveness."
"All the heavy weapons captured will replenish the troops, and the light weapons will be given priority to replenish the battle losses of the troops. The extra equipment will be used by the guerrillas to ensure that each guerrilla team has three light machine guns. If there are more, find a place to hide them temporarily, and then return them to the base area after the operation is over. .”
"The purpose of our attack is to make Neji Okamura believe that there are three regiments of the Eighth Route Army around Beiping, which may threaten the security of Beiping at any time, and to establish a base around Beiping, gain a firm foothold, and force him to bring back the little Japs who have reinforced Baoding. , the combat pressure on the main defensive base of the strong regiment."
"If you want the Japanese to be fooled, you need to have more troops, but you also need to have strong combat effectiveness."
"Otherwise, no matter how many troops there are, they will not be able to threaten the security of Peiping. With the experience of commanding Neiji Gangmura, we will definitely not be able to divide our troops and return to support Peiping. Therefore, we must take our time to replenish the captive troops, and first add one platoon to each company." New recruits, wait until all the captured soldiers have become combat effective and integrated with us, then add another platoon."
The second update is delivered today, please order it all!
