After the old Japanese leader Ando was killed, the Japanese lost their command. Although there were still squadron leaders and squad leaders maintaining the most basic command, there was no clear voice on major directional issues.
Whether to advance or retreat, or to rely on the two wings, each squadron could not reach a unified opinion in a hurry, and could only do its own thing. Under the front and rear attacks of the independent battalion and the new regiment, it became a mess;
In particular, the independent battalion's attack behind them simply killed them. The firepower advantage formed by 5 mortars and more than 100 light and heavy machine guns made it impossible for the Japanese to gather together. As long as ten or eight people gathered together, , machine gun fire came over, and the Japanese could only passively respond, and were massacred unilaterally by the independent battalion behind them.
In just ten minutes, the Japs in the direction of Qijia Town let loose and were completely defeated. Under the attack of the Independent Battalion and the New Regiment, they became headless flies, scurrying around, and then were eliminated;
The Independent Battalion is a little better, they are basically solved with guns, and the whole body of the Japanese can be left behind when they die;
Many of the buddies of the New Regiment charged with ghost-headed swords. If they caught up with the Japanese, they would hit them on the head, and the round heads would fall to the ground. According to the tradition of the Japanese's hometown, the brainless Japanese Amaterasu The great god will not accept you, you can only become a lonely ghost.
This time Chu Xiong didn't pick up the gun himself. After all, he was a commander, so he still had to pay attention to his identity. It would be a bad idea if he led the way!
If he behaves like this in every battle, the company commanders below will imitate him. Bullets have no eyes, and it is not easy to train a company commander.
The rest of the battle was very simple. After chasing and annihilating the remaining enemies, Shitou also successfully captured the Japanese artillery positions, capturing 8 75mm mountain guns, 8 infantry guns, 12 81mm mortars and a large number of artillery shells;
The mountain artillery and infantry artillery must be handed over to the headquarters, but the mortars can be divided equally with the New Regiment. We can fight the Japanese together, not alone!
After dealing with the Japs in the direction of Qijia Town, only a large group of Japs on the left wing were left. Chu Xiong originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and deal with them all, but the Japs were not stupid and did not give him a chance at all.
After the left-wing Japs commander learned that the main force of the regiment had happened, he decisively issued the order to move in and evacuated the battlefield of Qijia Town in large strides. The company responsible for blocking did not dare to pursue, and could only watch the Japs taking turns to cover. evacuate;
At this point, the Japanese siege of the headquarters was completely broken. The Japanese in the center and right wing of Qijia Town were all disabled. More than 2,600 Japanese soldiers below Colonel Ando were eliminated. Ando's regiment was disabled, and a large amount of weapons, equipment and logistics supplies were seized. There were no less than 200 light and heavy machine guns, as well as a complete field artillery brigade. It can be said that they won a complete victory!
"Which one is Commander Chu? I am Commander Li Tiejun of the new regiment!"
A big man who looked like an old farmer from the Dabie Mountains, with a gray face and covered in blood, shouted loudly at the soldiers of the Independence Battalion.
Chu Xiong suddenly felt ashamed. He, the little battalion commander, should have taken the initiative to report this to the big brother. Now he was passive. He would use a few more machine guns to stop the leader's mouth.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiong hurriedly ran to greet him. He greeted Captain Li from afar. He first saluted cautiously, but was stopped by Captain Li. Chu Xiong quickly apologized:
"Captain Li, I am Chu Xiong, and I have been ordered to come here to assist the New Regiment in dealing with these Japs."
"Okay, brothers, let's stop talking about these nonsense. What does assistance mean? It's obviously aid. I, Li Tiejun, and the New Regiment lead the friendship of Commander Chu. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. On behalf of the thousands of brothers in the New Regiment, I would like to thank Battalion Commander Chu and the Independent Battalion for their generous help."
After Li Tiejun finished speaking, he cautiously wanted to salute Chu Xiong, but was stopped by Chu Xiong. Chu Xiong quickly apologized:
"Captain Li, please don't kill me. According to our Dabie Mountain custom, I have to call you big brother in private."
"Battle Commander Chu is also an old brother from Dabie Mountain?"
Li Tiejun asked very excitedly. It is said that when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, tears well up in his eyes. It is still very cordial to see a fellow villager thousands of miles away on the battlefield of Sanjin.
"He is a member of the 7th Hubei-Henan-Anhui Red Army. He is a low-level platoon leader."
Chu Xiong reported his family name. The Seventh Red Army of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui Provinces existed for a short time, and the designation was changed later because the troops in the Youjiang Uprising in Guangxi were also called the Seventh Red Army;
Those who have served in the Seventh Red Army in Hubei, Henan, and Anhui means that they participated in the Jute Uprising. They are authentic Genhongmiaozheng. Not to mention that they were just a small platoon leader at the time. Even if they were just a small soldier, Captain Li would call him brother and join us. Outsiders cannot understand the experience of fighting.
Sure enough, after Chu Xiong announced his family status, Commander Li was not so polite. No matter how polite the old brother from Dabie Mountain was, he would always turn away:
"Chu Xiong, brother, this battle has been tough. We've run out of bullets, and the soldiers are all carrying ghosts on their heads..."
When Chu Xiong heard this, he immediately understood and couldn't help but smile. These big brothers are all piss-poor. They talk about affectionate words, but in their hearts they are thinking about settling accounts between brothers.
In a word: I am afraid of being poor!
"Captain Li, it's not easy for the comrades of the new regiment. In this way, you can replenish the captured bullets first. The infantry artillery and mountain artillery must be handed over to the headquarters. 12 small artillery pieces, half of which are from our family, light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers You give priority to replenishing the , 38-year-old building and military supplies, and hand over the rest to some headquarters, what do you think, brother?"
As soon as Chu Xiong finished speaking, Captain Li, who had always been quite thick-skinned, couldn't help but blush. Of course, it was only for a moment. He originally wanted to refuse, but what came out of his mouth was:
"Brother, just follow this plan, Xinyi Tuan appreciates your love!"
After solving the most critical matter, Commander Li felt much better. He pulled Chu Xiong to talk about the past of the Dabie Mountains. The more he talked about it, the closer he felt, and he almost had to burn yellow paper to say goodbye!
Not only did Chu Xiong not feel disgusted with Li Tiejun's peasant cunning, but he felt warm to it. They fought for weapons and equipment because they hoped that fewer of their soldiers would die in the battle. With machine guns and cannons, who would want to fight with the Japanese with bayonets?
This time, in order to open a bloody path for the headquarters, the New Regiment lost all their wealth. The company on the right wing only had three wounded left. The weapons and equipment could be replenished, and the veterans were gone.
Chu Xiong's independent battalion is not short of weapons. Just replenish some ammunition. If you have too many guns, you can't bring them back to the base. What he likes the most are the small cannons. When it comes to cannons, Chu Xiong has always said the more the better!
After sending away Captain Li, Chuxiong's independent army began to strengthen the defense line of Qijia Town, waiting for the headquarters to come;
The new regiment went directly to the left wing after replenishing sufficient ammunition to prevent the Japanese on the left from counterattack. Of course, they did not forget to take away the 6 small cannons that Chu Xiong promised them when they left.
Brothers, let’s settle the score clearly!
