Heyuan Railway Station.
After the artillery fire of the secret service battalion stopped, Nagano Higashioka breathed a sigh of relief.
He said to a little devil next to him:
"Yo Xi, it seems that there are no artillery shells on Tubal Road.
Order the warriors to hold on!
Captain Sato will come to support us soon! "
Before he finished speaking, a bullet fired from a heavy machine gun suddenly shattered the glass of the station building and accidentally hit the kid next to him in the head.
Suddenly, a splash of blood splashed on Nagano Higashioka's face, which instantly made his heart tighten.
I was so scared that I almost peed my pants!
After serving in the army for many years, this was the first time he was so close to death. He could even feel the burning heat of the bullet just now.
After a long while, he was finally woken up by the constant screams and crackling gunshots nearby. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Heyuan County. When he saw that there was still no movement there, he couldn't help but be very angry!
Is Captain Sato not going to take care of the train station?
Do you think that the warriors of your own squadron want the whole army to be shattered here?
If there was no telegraph machine, Nagano Higashioka would have wanted to immediately send a report to Colonel Takeshi Takeshi of the 225th Regiment, accusing Sato Ga of not saving him.
…
At this time, the soldiers of the first two infantry platoons of the first company of the Secret Service Battalion had already rushed to the two barbed wire fences at the train station under the cover of six heavy machine guns.
Monk Wei had already reported before that the Japs had set up a barbed wire fence in front of the train station, so now the soldiers brought a few pairs of pliers.
Braving the light gunfire from the Japs' infantry, they began to cut the barbed wire fences.
However, a few dozen meters behind the barbed wire fence, the Japs set up a row of telephone poles with bright electric lights on them. The soldiers of the secret service battalion had to cut the barbed wire fence and had to be exposed to the bright electric lights.
…
On the hillside, Yang Yuanshan saw that the soldiers from the secret service battalion who were cutting the barbed wire were shot by the Japs' rifles from time to time and fell to the ground. He couldn't help but feel pain in his heart and quickly ordered Wang Xikui:
"Xizi, the person who led you will knock off all those electric lights!
Without the lights, let's see how the little Japs use their marksmanship to bully our soldiers! "
"yes!"
Wang Xikui received the order and rushed down with his sharpshooter squad.
After a while, they came to a position about 500 meters away from the telegraph poles and started shooting "click" and "click", and soon blinded the few bright electric lights in front of the Xiaojiazi train station.
At this moment, the soldiers who cut the barbed wire were instantly enveloped in the darkness of the night.
If the little devil wants to shoot at them again, it will be impossible to shoot accurately.
However, after Wang Xikui and others knocked off the kid's electric light, they did not return to the hillside. Instead, they continued to rush forward for a few hundred meters, then each chose a position to lie down, and began to fire at the kid defending the train station.
On the way down, Wang Xikui told his men to complete the battalion commander's mission first and then have free time.
Now, how could these sharpshooters be willing to return?
Of course, I chose to show the little devil a little color.
When sharpshooters like Wang Xikui join the battlefield, the little devil's life becomes even more difficult.
Without electric lighting, they could only fire guns in the dark, or use the muzzle flash of the Eighth Route Army soldiers as an anchor point to shoot.
The hit rate of this shooting is naturally ugly.
Occasionally, a kid would fire flares under the command of an officer to temporarily illuminate an area, but such a bold kid would be shot dead by Wang Xikui immediately.
After several attempts, no one dared to fire flares anymore.
As a result, the balance of victory on the battlefield tilted more and more towards the secret service camp.
…
On the hillside, Yang Yuanshan frowned and muttered:
"It's been half an hour, isn't the reinforcement from Heyuan County, the bastard brat, coming out?
Why is it moving so slowly? "
Next to him, Zhou Xianpei couldn't help but suggest:
"Battal Commander, why don't we just take over this train station?
Maybe the little Japs didn’t dare to come out because all the strongholds and gun towers were attacked tonight and they couldn’t figure out the target of our army? "
In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, and that was: In my opinion, the train station should not be attacked! In this way, maybe the Japs will send reinforcements to support the various gun towers.
We just need to stay outside the county town, eliminate these reinforcements who dare to come out, and then attack the train station so that the little devils have no reinforcements to send. This is the easier way to win.
But what he didn't think about was that this seemed to be safe, but at first it was uncontrollable, and secondly it was too passive, and it was destined to be impossible to be accepted by Yang Yuanshan.
"Isn't the little devil very arrogant? Now he is so cowardly?
They don't want such an important place like the train station? "
Yang Yuanshan is a little doubtful about life.
Li Dahe next to him was also a little anxious. Seeing that Han Yang's continuous work was almost finished, he still didn't catch anything in the third continuous operation. This was not satisfying!
He immediately said:
"Battal Commander, how about our whole battalion swarm up and capture this train station first, and then bombard this and Heyuan City. If we can defeat them, we will attack them. If we cannot defeat them, we will withdraw before dawn."
As soon as he said this, Wei Dayong beside him nodded repeatedly:
"I think so too!
Battalion Commander, don't waste time, give the order quickly!
I'll rush in line with my pistol and I'll be able to deal with these little devils in less than half an hour. "
Facing everyone's suggestions, Yang Yuanshan was shaken for a second.
But after a while, he strengthened his belief in taking over Heyuan County.
It was so easy to capture the more than 100 little devils at the Little Devil Railway Station.
It was so easy that he had no interest at all!
But taking Heyuan County has a different meaning!
Saying less can shock the First Army Headquarters in Jinyang City.
When the boss engages in such a big battle, he will definitely compare the results of various divisions, brigades, and local units when he looks back. He must earn some face for the brigade commander!
Thinking of this, he immediately shook his head and said:
“Go and order Han Yang, don’t rush into the train station, wait another half hour!
Let his heavy machine gun pretend to be out of bullets and gradually misfire!
Then let the soldiers shoot against the little devils, just to practice their marksmanship.
We are in the dark and the enemy is in the light. Our casualties are definitely lighter than the enemy's! "
Seeing that he had made a decision, Zhou Xianpei, Li Dahe and others stopped trying to persuade him.
On the battlefield, the most fearful thing is to shake the morale of the army!
Since Yang Yuanshan, as the commander, has made up his mind, they can only execute it.
…
The order was quickly passed to Han Yang. Han Yang understood that Yang Yuanshan still wanted to lure the Japanese from Heyuan County, so he had no choice but to execute the order immediately.
Soon, the "thumping" sounds of the six heavy machine guns on the battlefield stopped.
The dozens of soldiers in the first company began to shoot at the Japs in the darkness.
…
Seeing the changes in the spy camp, Nagano Higashioka was naturally very excited in the eyes of the little devil.
He took a long breath and said:
"Yo Xi, Tubal Road is still Tubal Road.
They're out of shells and bullets! "
Then he shouted to the soldiers under his command:
"Locust Army Warriors, there are no bullets on Tubal Road. As long as we hold on until dawn, none of these Tubal Roads can escape!"
After shouting this, he immediately called Sato He again:
"Your Majesty, Major Sato, I apologize for my previous mistake in reporting military information.
There is no division on Tubal Road, and there are only a hundred people currently shooting at the Locust Army warriors. However, their marksmanship is extremely poor, so there is no need to worry at all.
The infantry artillery and heavy machine guns on Tubal Road have also run out of shells and bullets.
Once dawn comes, my No. 1 Squadron will definitely be able to destroy this group of rogues! "
On the other end of the phone, Sato He heard Nagaya Higashioka's words and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thought: It seems that Tubalu is still Tubalu. Although their will to fight is very firm, their strength is limited.
They went on a full-scale attack tonight. It was probably because of strict orders from their superiors that they attacked the turrets, strongholds and train stations regardless of the difference in strength.
They even emptied their wealth to get out those infantry cannons and heavy machine guns.
Thinking of this, he felt a surge of anger: These weak bugs actually scared me so much that I dared not leave Heyuan County?
This is really unreasonable!
So he immediately said to Nagano Higashioka:
"Nagano-kun, ask your people to step up the offensive and entangle this group of Tubalu. I will send two squadrons carrying an infantry gun out of the city and enter the train station to support you."
Upon hearing this, Nagano Higashioka quickly suggested:
"Your Excellency, Captain, why don't you let these two squadrons go around the mountains to the east and attack the artillery positions on Tubal Road?
Although they have no artillery shells, if they can kill these artillerymen, Tubal Road will definitely be devastated! "
"Baga! Idiot! Now that Tubal Road's cannons have fired all their shells, won't they withdraw?"
Sato He cursed angrily.
He thought to himself: How could I have such stupid subordinates?
In fact, he was still a little worried in his heart, worried that the Eighth Route Army would have other plans. If two squadrons were sent to detour to the east mountain and something happened, then he, the captain, would be in trouble.
He is still waiting to be promoted to lieutenant colonel!
Now send two squadrons into the railway station to defend. As long as they defend until dawn, it will be victory. By then, there will be no merit but no fault. This is a foolproof method.
Nagano Higashioka didn't understand Satoga's inner calculation, and felt very aggrieved after being scolded.
But since the other party was willing to send two squadrons to support him, he didn't say anything. It was enough to save a few of his warriors from dying.
He immediately nodded and bowed, like a chicken pecking at rice:
"Hi!"
…
The little devils in Heyuan County began to gather when the spy camp attacked the train station. At this time, following Sato He's order, they sent two squadrons carrying an infantry gun out of the city and entered the train station to support them, and they quickly began to take action.
In less than three minutes, these three to four hundred little Japanese set off from the north gate of Heyuan County with torches and a Type 92 infantry cannon.
Originally, Sato He hesitated for a second, whether to go around in a circle and leave the city through the south gate, but in the end he decided that the distance from the north gate to the train station was only two kilometers, and it would take less than 10 minutes to march quickly, so there was no need to go around.
As soon as the little devil moved here, the observer who was observing with a telescope on the hillside suddenly laughed.
He excitedly rushed to Yang Yuanshan and reported:
"Battal Commander, the Japs from Heyuan County are out. It looks like there are two squadrons, and they are also carrying a Type 92 infantry gun. They are going very fast, heading straight to the train station!"
When Yang Yuanshan heard this, he immediately became energetic. He picked up his binoculars and looked at the fire dragon coming out of Heyuan County. After a moment, he burst out laughing:
“This old turtle in Heyuan City still couldn’t hold it back and showed his head!
It seems that our secret service camp is sure to eat this big piece of meat in Heyuan County! "
