Chen Shusheng's baggage camp is probably the most difficult baggage unit the Japanese have ever encountered.
The Japanese First Division can be said to be the elite of the Japanese army. However, it fought with a machine gun platoon from Chen Shusheng's supply camp for more than 20 minutes, killing and wounding more than 50 people, and failed to break even one of the fortifications.
Kitashirakawa Aoi cursed Commander Ito as a waste. The defense line composed of dozens of people could not be broken through for so long. And the sun was about to set. He is also thinking of holding a celebration banquet in Bengbu!
But at this time, Ito also felt wronged. There were indeed dozens of people on the opposite side, but there were too many machine guns, right? It was as if each person had a machine gun and was shooting at them continuously. It seemed like they couldn't run out of bullets no matter how hard they fired.
Of course, they would never have imagined that they were fighting a baggage force, and the most important thing they needed was ammunition.
If Chen Shusheng wanted to, it would not be difficult to bring another cart.
But Chen Shusheng did not want to fight with the little devil in Bengbu.
He only stayed to stop the attack so that the troops and the people could go further, and then hid in the mountains.
"Sign up and tell the brothers to prepare to retreat. We have been dragging the little devil for more than half an hour, and the baggage troops have already left. Even if the little devil wants to pursue him, he must think about where he is here!"
Chen Shusheng gave the order, and the flag soldiers immediately conveyed the order.
After seeing the signals from the flag soldiers, each unit slowly withdrew from their respective bunkers, and then retreated along the alley to the north gate of Bengbu.
At the same time, the furious Japanese were slowly pushing the heavy artillery to a position more than 500 meters away from the inn.
There was a yard in front that blocked the firing range of the 75mm mountain cannon. The little devil directly used a spade and a pickaxe to dig holes in the wall of the yard, and then buried explosives.
Just as the Japs engineers were about to detonate the bomb, another group of Japs came from the other side and over thirty captured civilians came.
The Japanese soldier who led the team laughed loudly and said: "Wait a minute, just blowing up the yard like this. Don't you think it's a waste, Mr. Xiaomura? Lock these Chinese people in."
"Xiao Quan, I really belong to you. Hurry up, but be quick."
Xiaocun had a cruel smile on his face, and he was the same as the little dog.
The captured people naturally did not understand what the Japanese were saying. They thought the little devil just wanted to find a place to lock them up.
They all lowered their heads in frustration, not even seeing the fuses scattered across the courtyard walls and the courtyard, as well as the bundles of explosives.
At this time, they regretted a little. When the county magistrate and the people from the Independent Group told them that the Japanese were coming and they were leaving Bengbu immediately, they didn't take it seriously at all. Some even made harsh words. I won't Come on, what can the little devil do to me?
Now they know what the little devil will do to them.
At this time, they were just praying in their hearts that as long as they were obedient, the little devil would not kill them.
But I'm afraid they never dreamed that the little devils were far more ferocious than they imagined. Driving them into the house in the courtyard was just to avoid wasting explosives.
When everyone was driven into the house, the little devil found a lock from nowhere and locked the door.
At this moment, someone realized something was wrong and shouted loudly: "Let us out."
But the little Japs didn't pay attention to this. They raised their bow-legged legs and ran away in a hurry. Moreover, no Japs could be seen within a radius of two hundred meters.
The two Japs, Xiao Quan and Xiao Cun, laughed, and Xiao Cun personally pressed the blasting switch.
Boom!
After hearing a loud noise, the entire yard and the houses in the yard were razed to the ground.
And more than thirty innocent people were buried in the rubble because of this explosion.
But at this time, the little devil not only did not think that he was cruel, but actually cheered because of it.
In their hearts like animals, there is no mercy or sympathy at all.
It's no exaggeration to call them devils.
No, they are scarier than the devil. They are the root of all evil that sprang from hell.
"fire!"
The artillery's firing range was opened, and the Japanese artillery officer drew his sword and roared loudly.
At the same time, the Japanese artillery fired one after another, and a series of shells shot out like raindrops, covering the inn five hundred meters away.
boom! Boom, boom!
The huge explosion was deafening. The inn was constantly shaking under the Japanese gunfire, and especially the second floor of the inn was directly destroyed, and the entire roof collapsed.
"Attack!"
At this moment, the Japanese officer drew his sword and shouted, while the little Japanese soldiers rushed towards the inn like ants turning over their eggs.
The little Japanese made a desperate move and used the smoke and dust after the explosion to capture the inn first. Then, relying on the inn, they harassed the enemies in the Drum Tower and the Mill to prepare for further artillery bombardment.
The little devil has become smarter after several losses. If he can't compete with the enemy in shooting skills, let's compete with guns! Let their enemies be drowned under the artillery fire of the Japanese Empire.
It was only when the little devils rushed into the half-exploded inn that they discovered that their enemies had already run away.
I don’t know when I left, but the person is gone.
The little devil's officer boldly looked in the direction of the mill from the window. There was no one on the roof of the mill.
Looking at the Drum Tower again, there is no one on the Drum Tower.
The little Japanese officer curled his lips, and then said to his men: "Go and report to Mr. Ito that our enemy has escaped. Can you please tell me if we should continue the pursuit?"
"Hi!"
The Japanese soldier took the order and ran to see the commander Ito. Ito heard that his enemy had escaped and looked at the sun that had set in the west.
He did not dare to make the decision, but sent someone to ask Prince Kitashirakawa for instructions.
After hearing the report, Kitashirakawa said with a proud smile: "No need to chase, our goal this time has been achieved. Bengbu is ours from now on. Close the city gate, set up defenses with the 1st Infantry Brigade, and cook with the 2nd Infantry Brigade. The Third Infantry Battalion went to search the city to see if there were any Chinese, and I wanted to tell them about the Kingdom and the Paradise. Hahaha!"
"Hi!"
The Japanese signal corps took the order and then conveyed it to Ito. Ito let out a long breath, because it would be bad if the prince wanted to pursue him.
They were not familiar with the terrain near Bengbu, so during the day they could march according to the map and pursue the enemy.
But if it comes at night, outsiders like them will definitely have a black eye, and they will not be able to distinguish anything.
Fortunately, the prince didn't do that. At least they stayed in the city and they were safe for the time being.
However, it is now the enemy's hinterland. Once surrounded by the enemy, he feels that his Ito company will be extremely passive!
