When the countdown reached 10, a gunshot rang out. Hirano Shicheng on the tower was shot in the back, blood was spitting out of his mouth, but a look of relief appeared on his face.
In fact, when Ping An was surrounded by Tubal Road, and every city gate was equipped with about twenty artillery pieces, Hirano Shisei knew very well that the city could not be defended.
It's just that as a member of the Ping An Supervisory Team, Hirano Shicheng has no other way to go, and it is impossible for him to surrender.
However, with the gendarmerie currently having less than a hundred people in the city, they still had to disperse and defend some important areas. If his strength did not allow it, he would not be able to suppress the two Japs from the third regiment of the 5th Mixed Brigade, which numbered more than 1,000 people.
From the beginning of the siege, death has been inevitable for Hirano Shicheng. Adjutant Zhao Lifan killed him with one shot and freed him.
With the death of Hirano Zhicheng, bursts of gunshots rang out in the city. This was when the Japanese Japs were dealing with the real little Japs around them.
Then the white flag was raised, and Gao Jianwu's artillery finally stopped filling cannonballs. The infantry regiments under the city set up their machine guns and looked warily at a line of Japanese soldiers who came out to surrender with their guns listed.
"Hahaha, I am the first to capture a city without losing any blood!" After a burst of laughter, the brigade commander stepped forward and gave Gao Jianwu a hard blow, "However, this is taking advantage of your independent regiment. Let's go in. Check out the city!"
"Brigadier, you can't," Gao Jianwu quickly stopped him, "The city hasn't been cleaned up yet. It's too dangerous to go in at this time."
This stop was not only for the safety of the brigade commander, but also to finally capture a city. If Gao Jianwu didn't go in first and release it, when would it be?
"Yes, yes, brigade commander, you can't go in now. We'll go in first and clean up the little devils and traitors before you go in."
Li Yunlong also echoed.
Li Yunlong discovered that when fighting with Gao Jianwu, he was basically a spectator. The last time he fought against the Kwantung Army's baggage train, he had watched a good show. Not long ago, he almost missed the fight against the Watanabe task force.
Who knew that today's attack on Ping'an City would be even more outrageous, and it would be done without even a chance to charge!
This Gao Jianwu is simply poisonous, extremely poisonous to the little devils and the second devils!
Li Yunlong couldn't find any room to perform.
This is very uninvolvement.
"What nonsense," the Grand Brigadier waved his hand and scolded with a smile, "Are you afraid that I will steal your trophies?"
"That's not possible, brigade commander, how dare I." Li Yunlong smiled coyly, "With you here, what trophies are there for me, Old Li." But he really didn't dare to say this! Just make fun of it.
Seeing that Gao Jianwu couldn't stop him anymore, he glanced at Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gao Jianwu and turned around to leave first. He immediately understood that Gao Jianwu wanted to stop the brigade commander a little, and they went to the city to clean up. Ichiban.
"Brigade commander, this is Comrade Shen Quan, the instructor of our Dagushan guerrilla brigade. Regarding the latest situation in Dagushan, we asked Shen Quan to report to the brigade commander." Zhao Gang pushed Shen Quan out as a shield. Now, Dagushan The brigade commander also saw the other party's good intentions and did not refuse.
He was well aware of Gao Jianwu and Zhao Gang's tricks, but this was indeed for his own safety, so the Brigadier did not tell them. Besides, he was also really curious about Dagushan, so he took advantage of the current opportunity to learn more about it.
Only in this case can he hear the truth.
After Gao Jianwu escaped, he took Song Tiecheng and the others straight to the city.
The Japanese soldiers who were coming out in groups looked at the majestic detachment passing by, and they were all secretly glad that they surrendered so quickly.
This group of Tubal troops is really not comparable to other teams. Not only is there sufficient artillery fire, but look at their infantry equipment, including submachine guns and light machine guns, it is comparable to the commander's guard regiment of the Jinsui Army!
How can we fight like this? No wonder the little devils are captured and unable to come back.
Now they don't have much contact with other troops, and everyone thinks that the Eighth Route Army that besieged the city has the same equipment as Song Tiecheng, the commando team.
The Japanese who surrendered here were convinced one by one.
This unexpected gain was something Gao Jianwu didn't expect, but that's not what he was thinking about now.
The group of people went straight to the little devil's military camp in the city.
Naturally, there are still some little Japs and ronin who are not dead inside. They are currently wreaking havoc and fighting against the surrendered Japs.
As soon as Song Tiecheng's commando arrived, the remaining little Japs seemed to have found a place to vent their anger, and rushed up one by one howling.
However, for the commandos who were well prepared, these struggling little devils had no tactics at all, even if they were holding crooked machine guns, their firepower was not weak.
But compared to Song Tiecheng and the others, they were far inferior in flexibility. After a simple burst of gunshots and grenade explosions, the little devils were wiped out.
Gao Jianwu rushed to the front with a submachine gun, leaving no Japs alive.
Carrying out house-by-house raids and releasing too many accumulated 38-guns and crooked-bar light machine guns. Putting dozens of 38-guns and a few crooked-bar light machine guns into every house is a basic move!
They are arranged neatly one after another, just like the equipment of a small team of little devils gathered there.
As for the place that looks like a warehouse, it is placed directly in boxes, starting at 50 boxes! If it's a rifle, it's 500, and there are 20,000 to 30,000 rounds of bullets!
After Gao Jianwu finished sweeping the Little Japs barracks, more than 2,000 38-guns, more than 100 crooked guns, and more than 20 92-heavy machine guns appeared out of thin air, which was equivalent to arranging a complete infantry equipment for the two brigades of the Little Japs!
In addition to more than 60 grenade launchers, 16 81mm mortars and 8 90mm mortars serve as additions.
As well as more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition and hundreds of rounds of various types of artillery shells.
With so many hoarded weapons and ammunition, it looked like logistical preparations for a brigade-level sweep.
...
When the brigade commander saw the list of seizures, he didn't react at first glance. The weapons of the Little Devils alone were enough to equip two main regiments!
Coupled with the equipment of a regiment of the Imperial Association Army, Ping An's seizure this time is enough to expand three main regiments and there is more than enough!
The seizures in this battle were much richer than those in the Pingxingguan victory, especially the bullets and artillery shells, which were more than enough for the 386 Brigade to fight a battle!
When the brigadier came to his senses, he looked at Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu with completely different eyes.
"Li Yunlong, I congratulate you on making a fortune!" The brigadier held the list with a smile, "Tell me, what are you going to do with these seizures?"
Li Yunlong was a little frightened by the brigade commander's congratulations on getting rich. He lamented in his heart that he couldn't save much of the seizure this time. He was about to struggle again, but was overtaken by Gao Jianwu next to him.
"Brigadier Commander, these seizures should be quickly distributed to the brother units to form combat effectiveness. The little devil has another field unit that is about to arrive. We don't have much time."
"Xiao Gao has a good consciousness. Li Yunlong, do you have anything to add?" the brigade commander said with a smile, staring at Li Yunlong, but he had no intention of letting Li Yunlong add anything.
"Brigadier Commander, my consciousness is not bad. You know, when the independent regiment seizes good things, they must be sent to the brigade headquarters. This time, all the brothers and troops are here, haha, just in time to transport all our transportation. Forget it." Li Yunlong laughed dryly and expressed his distress.
But in his heart, he secretly made a note of Gao Jianwu's prodigal attitude.
This wasteful thing is the equipment of the three main groups. Even if one third is left, the independent group can expand by one or two thousand people.
Gao Jianwu's words left Li Yunlong with no room for rescue.
But thinking of the upcoming tough battle, Li Yunlong didn't blame Gao Jianwu too much.
Although Cheng Xiazi and the others are said to be the main force, their weapons and equipment are much worse than those of the Dagushan Guerrilla Brigade, or even the independent group that just defeated the Watanabe Task Force and changed their equipment.
Being able to quickly replace a batch of their weapons and equipment is indeed a good way to quickly enhance one's own strength.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of light machine gun firepower alone, if the main force group can have two in a platoon, the attack power can be doubled.
If the light machine guns are on duty like the Dagushan Guerrilla Brigade, a company can have 9 machine guns.
So in this battle, facing the 139th Regiment of the Little Devils in the company-level competition, with the old foundation of the main force group, a squadron of the Little Devils can completely pass it head-on!
Coupled with grenade heavy machine guns and sufficient ammunition supplies, it is basically no problem for the two main groups to confront the two brigades!
In this way, the chance of winning against the 139th Alliance will be even greater.
Not to mention the poor fellow of the New Second Regiment. Their main battalion has just had one gun per man. The company ensures one or two machine guns. This time, more than 100 light machine guns were seized, which is enough to equip the company with more than 6 machine guns. For For the new second regiment, the combat effectiveness has doubled after updating the equipment!
After the victory over Ping'an City, the newly captured weapons were enough to update the main battle weapons and equipment of the three regiments, basically reaching the same level as the Little Japanese Brigade.
It has been completed that there are guns and artillery, and one regiment can also have a mortar company. As for the gunners, the two main regiments are short of men but they are short of artillery. The new second regiment is short of both men and artillery, but it is not a problem now. The artillery battalion at the brigade headquarters sent a few gunners to top it up, and they were all working together!
Regarding Gao Jianwu's suggestion, the brigade commander listened with a smile and immediately ordered the three regiments to change their uniforms without any delay.
Li Yunlong was so distressed that he couldn't breathe when he saw a large number of weapons being taken away with a smile on his face, but Zhao Gang on the other side saw some clues.
He secretly pulled Gao Jianwu aside, "Have you already planned this change of clothes?" Zhao Gang asked.
Gao Jianwu was stunned, he didn't expect Zheng Zhengxin to be so detailed.
Because this was indeed planned by him. When he decided to involve the main force of the 386th Brigade, he planned to take this opportunity to release a wave of changes for the main force and the new first and second regiments.
This is why he strongly wants to put the battlefield in Ping'an City. Zhaojiayu is really not suitable for such a thing.
"No, no, let's face it, how could I have thought so far back at that time? I just thought that after taking advantage of the situation and defeating Ping An, our battlefield situation would be much better than that of Zhaojiayu whether we were defending or attacking. We happened to have so many captures this time. It would be great if we let our brother troops change their uniforms to enhance their combat effectiveness."
Gao Jianwu denied it.
This cannot be admitted.
Otherwise, a series of things cannot be explained at all. As if he had not yet served as a prophet.
Because they showed off their muscles and allowed the Japanese to surrender without a fight, the entire siege time was shortened to less than half an hour, allowing the main force of the 386th Brigade time to calmly change gear and build some fortifications.
It's just that Gao Jianwu had no intention from the beginning to fight a formal positional battle with the 139th Regiment and bring the battlefield into Ping'an City. Instead, he had already deployed a group of artillery outside the city to prepare for a sneak attack.
These artillerymen didn't even know where they were going. Gao Jianwu didn't count them in the siege team at all. For the 139th Regiment, they were like moths to the flame.
