Behind Heyuan County Railway Station.
After Yang Yuanshan exchanged greetings with the villagers, he pulled Zhou Xianpei and Xu Shaobai aside to talk:
"Lao Zhou, Shao Bai, thank you for your hard work.
You guys came very quickly, our county hasn’t been conquered yet! "
"Ah, Battalion Commander, wouldn't the folks have to wait here?"
Zhou Xianpei exclaimed.
It was not easy to mobilize the villagers to carry the loot late at night, especially since the independent group had just arrived in northwest Shanxi and had not yet become familiar with the villagers here.
He and Xu Shaobai had gone to great lengths to mobilize these people just now, and of course they didn't want to encounter such an accident.
"That's not necessary. There are a lot of trophies that need to be moved away from this train station."
With that said, Yang Yuanshan took them towards the abandoned train.
Then they saw the mountains of weapons boxes, cannons and other items that were moved down by Zhang Xiaohe and the soldiers from the guard company and piled aside.
"This... so much? We are getting rich!"
Zhou Xianpei was stunned.
He finally understood why the weapons of the secret service camp were so good.
It's outrageous that so many things can be confiscated from just a kid's train station!
Did the little devil prepare a division's war-ready weapons and prepare them for shipment to Jinyang, but were they intercepted here?
Xu Shaobai was used to this kind of scene. He quickly called on the villagers to move forward and said to Zhou Xianpei:
"Hey, instructor, what is this?
Last time we were at Hehekou, we beat up the traitor Zhuangzi and seized a large amount of equipment.
Nowadays, it is quite normal to attack a train station where the Japs are heavily stationed and seize these weapons and equipment!
Very reasonable! "
After hearing this, Zhou Xianpei finally closed his open mouth, feeling secretly ashamed of his ignorance.
Yang Yuanshan gave Xu Shaobai a thumbs up in his heart and said:
"That's right. The little devil is our transportation captain!
As long as we have little devils to fight with, we will never have to worry about equipment! "
What he said was true, but it was a pity that Zhou Xianpei took it as his contempt for the little devil and his absolute confidence in victory, and he admired him more and more in his heart.
But at this time, he still frowned a little and said:
"But battalion commander, with so much equipment, even if we mobilize thousands of young and strong men to help, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move it quickly!
It's late at night, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and I can't go fast! "
Regarding this issue, Yang Yuanshan was also scratching his head.
The road conditions these days are simply terrible.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said quickly:
"First move it to the big caves on Shuishen Mountain on the way we just came, and store it temporarily. If you have time, move it slowly!"
This Water God Mountain is a large mountain only more than twenty miles away from here. It is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
On the way here, when they passed Shuishen Mountain, they discovered several large caves. Yang Yuanshan also told Zhou Xianpei that in those large caves, perhaps a brewery could be set up in the future to produce some medical alcohol.
Now that I think about it, I immediately made this suggestion.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."
Zhou Xianpei also thought those caves were good, especially in terms of distance. Compared to Lujia Village, which was more than forty miles away, they could save at least half the distance, so he nodded immediately.
…
After leaving all the handling of the loot to Zhou Xianpei and Xu Shaobai, Yang Yuanshan returned to the front and continued to observe the direction of Heyuan County with a telescope.
In order to avoid being a target, the little devil turned off all the lights on the city wall. At this moment, he could only observe the little devil's movements through the not-so-bright moonlight.
It's a pity that under the shelling of the artillery company, most of the little Japs were hiding. No one dared to show their heads, and they couldn't see anything at all.
Yang Yuanshan secretly wondered, if some infantry were sent to get under the city wall and use explosive packs to blow open the city gate, wouldn't the little Japanese be able to find it?
However, he gave up this idea. Even though the little Japs were all hiding now, they had left observation posts wherever they could be protected.
As soon as the soldiers of the secret service camp get close, the Japs' heavy machine guns may come out and cause great damage to the soldiers.
Although the heavy machine gun will definitely be blown up by Wang Gensheng's artillery as soon as it is exposed, it is still easy for one heavy machine gun to kill or injure dozens of our soldiers.
Nowadays, there is such a shortage of veterans in the secret service camp, so it is better not to take such risks.
Moreover, even if the city gate is blown open and the soldiers rush in through the city gate, the formation is too crowded. Once they are shot by the Japs with heavy machine guns, the casualties will be huge.
Let's continue the bombardment and wait until the city wall is blown open.
Isn't it just a waste of shells?
He, Yang Yuanshan, has a lot of cannonballs!
If he hits Heyuan County, even if he fires 1,000 rounds of artillery shells, he won't feel bad!
In this way, Yang Yuanshan continued to watch Wang Gensheng's artillery performance, and time passed by like this.
…
Huangtian paid off. Just when the soldiers of the secret service camp were waiting anxiously, with the roar of shelling, the city wall on the north side of Heyuan County suddenly collapsed with a "bang", forming a slope.
This section of the city wall withstood hundreds of rounds of shells from the artillery battery, and finally could no longer withstand it.
As soon as the city wall collapsed, the little Japanese captain Sato He immediately shouted in horror:
"Quick, hold the gap in the city wall, don't let Tubal attack in!"
At this moment, he extremely regretted his previous negligence. He thought that it was impossible for the enemy to dare to attack the county town. He did not lay mines and arrange minefields outside Heyuan Railway Station and Heyuan County town. Otherwise, he would have been able to hold on for a while longer.
As soon as he gave the order, the little Japanese soldiers hiding everywhere had to come out and prepare to deal with the infantry charge of the secret service battalion.
However, what they didn't expect was that when the city wall collapsed, Yang Yuanshan did not order Wang Gensheng's artillery battery to stop at all, but continued to order:
"Continue to extend the artillery fire and hit this gap. I think the gap is not big enough and the slope is too steep. It will be difficult to charge!"
After Wang Gensheng and others heard this order, they immediately looked at each other and could only ignore the slightly red barrel and continue to fire.
They continued to fire, which made the little devils on the wall suffer, and dozens of people were killed by shrapnel flying in all directions.
Captain Sato, who was a little devil, was about to cry and could only scream in his heart: Are their artillery shells inexhaustible?
Don’t you pay for cannonballs?
devil!
These guys are all devils!
terrible!
Under the city wall, Wei Dayong and Li Dahe had just seen the city wall collapse and were about to jump up and lead the soldiers into the city. However, they did not expect that Wang Gensheng's cannons did not stop at all and continued to bombard.
Wei Dayong couldn't help but cursed:
"What is Gensheng doing with this weak little thing?
The city wall has collapsed, and he is still wasting cannonballs?
This bitch, after this battle is over, I have to beat him. "
Li Dahe was also anxious now and could no longer be rational, so he echoed:
"That's right, as soon as we rush up to the city wall, with heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, the little devil on the wall will be finished. Why is he still blowing up?"
Hearing what the two leaders said, the soldiers lying behind them were immediately filled with indignation and impatient, wishing they could rush over and ask the artillery company to cease fire immediately.
It's a pity that what they don't know is that Wang Gensheng also wants to cease fire!
The artillery company's ammunition and hand-carried ammunition are almost exhausted.
There were piles of shell casings next to each gun, which almost affected the operation of the gun.
But Yang Yuanshan didn't give the order, what could he do?
Previously, the artillerymen in the artillery company were rushing to serve as gunners and fire artillery.
Wang Gensheng and Gao Yuanzhi had to step aside the soldiers who were unable to fire accurately, but now, no soldier was interested in firing.
After nearly an hour of intense bombardment, everyone just wanted to lie down on the ground and rest for a while.
Even if I beat them to death, I would never have imagined that there would be a day when they would fire until they felt like vomiting!
Two soldiers who were transferred from Kong Jie's New Second Regiment to the Secret Service Battalion and were assigned to the artillery company were secretly stunned: In the past, in the New Second Regiment, they thought about it day and night just to be able to touch the cannon, but they didn't expect that now they He can actually fire until he is killed and doesn't want to move.
It's so scary!
Fortunately, after another ten minutes, Yang Yuanshan saw that it was getting late and sent Zhang Xiaohe to deliver the order:
“Stop the shelling!
Push two infantry cannons up the city wall to suppress fire. All other cannons must retreat! "
After hearing this order, Wang Gensheng and others immediately felt as if they had been granted amnesty and shouted quickly:
“Stop the shelling!
Leave two infantry artillery pieces behind and all other artillery pieces retreat! "
