Chapter 716: The National Salvation Army Hides Misfortune
Chen Zhengyu couldn't understand why the regiment commander was eyeing Jingxing Coal Mine at this time, but he didn't ask much.
The leader of the regiment is a person who takes three steps. Since he decided to attack Jingxing Coal Mine, there must be a reason to attack Jingxing Coal Mine. When the time comes, he will naturally tell himself the reason.
Immediately receive the order: "Then I will take the 23rd Battalion and the two mountain artillery companies of the artillery battalion commander to attack the railway line, the 1st Battalion, the Guard Battalion, and the Special Battalion. Let the regiment commander attack the Jingxing Coal Mine."
When Major Panasonic returned to the room, he began to arrange his troops to go to the artillery battalion and the offensive troops to monitor the every move of the National Salvation Army.
As soon as several subordinates entered the room, a platoon of the National Salvation Army surrounded the yard.
Facing the subordinates who rushed over, Major Panasonic didn't say a word of nonsense and said bluntly when he said the reason he was looking for them: "Everyone, I just received the news that the battle scenes we have seen in the past two days are probably all fake."
"I remember correctly: For two days, every time we were going to the battlefield in person, we were rejected by the National Savior Army for various reasons. The battlefield we saw was also cleaned up by the National Savior Army, and we did not see a body that was killed by the National Savior Army on the battlefield."
"This is so strange. It can be regarded as an accident once or twice. If it is like this every time, it means that the National Salvation Army has concealed something from us!"
"In order to prove my judgment, no matter what the national rescue army has, we must visit the battlefield in person to find out whether the national rescue army's battle to attack the Unique Regiment is true."
"If so, it proves that I'm over-concerned!"
"If not, it proves that we have been deceived by the National Salvation Army. They have ill-intentioned intentions. We must send a telegram to the military headquarters immediately to remind them to be prepared for the National Salvation Army."
"Who is outside..." When Major Panasonic was about to continue speaking, a subordinate guarding the door suddenly shouted.
Major Panasonic subconsciously pulled out his pistol and stared at the door with a vigilant look on his face.
"Dadada..."
Before the other party could respond, a dense sound of submachine gun fire sounded at the door.
"Baga, we are fooled. The Eighth Route Army wants to kill us and kill people to silence us. Everyone hides and firmly guards the room." Major Panasonic instantly understood his current situation. He shouted loudly while lying down, and luckily avoiding the bullets flying into the house.
The subordinates guarding the gate were not so lucky. Although the exclamation just now achieved the early warning effect, allowing Major Panasonic to avoid the sudden attack, he also exposed his position.
The moment the gunfire sounded, at least ten bullets flew towards him.
Although his subordinates were well-trained, they could not resist too many bullets flying towards him. They could not avoid the bullets in this direction. Two of the bullets were just right into his body...
"Sir, there is at least one platoon of the National Salvation Army outside the room, and we are surrounded..." Another subordinate took out his gun and reported nervously.
"What are you panic!" Major Panasonic forced himself to calm down and then cursed.
"Death in the battlefield is our best destination. As the most heroic samurai in the Great Japanese Empire, everyone should be ready to sacrifice themselves at any time!"
"The radio operator immediately sent a telegram to the military headquarters. We were deceived by the National Salvation Army. They had evil intentions and had no intention of seeking refuge in the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire. We asked the military headquarters to send troops to encircle and suppress the National Salvation Army immediately."
"We will definitely not be able to rush out today, but we must persist until the radio operator sends the telegram to death!"
Major Panasonic's order was the most rational order he issued in two days.
But it is not that easy to execute this command and achieve the purpose he wants.
"Dadada..."
The gunfire outside the room continued. This time, not only were the submachine guns and rifles continuing to shoot, but two light machine guns also joined the battle.
The bullet penetrated the window and flew into the room like rain. Because one of his subordinates was hiding behind the door, they didn't expect that the two-inch-thick wooden door could not block the bullet. They were hit by three machine gun bullets and fell into a pool of blood.
There are six people in the room, including Major Panasonic.
The radio operator was operating the radio station in the inner room, and two subordinates were killed. In the blink of an eye, there were only three people and three pistols left in the room.
"Bang bang..." The impact suddenly sounded at the door, and two grenades emitting white smoke hit the wooden door one by one and one behind.
"There are grenades, hide!" The squadron leader shouted while lying on the ground with his head in his arms.
"Boom..." Before he finished speaking, two explosions rang three or four meters in front of him. The confined door was also exploded in the explosion, and they fell to the ground with the door frame.
Before Major Panasonic got up from the ground, a string of bullets flew in from outside the door, making the table beside him ramble. Major Panasonic could only continue to lie on the ground with his head in his arms!
At this moment, two more grenades hit the door.
Just now, two grenades hit the outside of the room and exploded.
Now there is no gate blocking the road, two grenades flew directly into the room and hit less than one meter away from Madame Panasonic.
"Sir, be careful, there are grenades in front of you!" A subordinate next to him saw the danger and shouted and moved to the side.
Major Panasonic just looked up and an explosion sounded right in front of him, and then he lost consciousness...
Tongcheng stronghold is a large stronghold built by the Japanese army 34 kilometers southwest of Shouyang County.
Before the relationship between the National Salvation Army and the Japanese was "relieved", the Japanese had always stationed half an infantry brigade and a battalion of the Imperial Army here, with a total force of more than 900 people, specifically monitoring and blocking the National Salvation Army in Shouyang.
After the relationship between the two sides "eased", the Japanese, who were short of troops, drew nearly half of the troops to reinforce other battlefields.
After the National Salvation Army "was ordered to attack" the unique regiment, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed around the defense zone felt that the National Salvation Army was only one step away from the reorganization of the Imperial Army, and their vigilance towards the National Salvation Army gradually relaxed. There were even garrisons who kept sending telegrams to the superiors, wanting to leave the garrison to go to the front line to fight the Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Tongcheng stronghold also had this idea.
Half of their troops were transferred to the railway to fight against the Eighth Route Army. Although there was constant war and they might encounter danger at any time, they could gain military achievements in the battle.
The Japanese and puppet troops who remained in the stronghold were depressed. The National Salvation Army could "adapt" the Imperial Army at any time and would definitely not attack the stronghold at this time.
This means that they are guarding a stronghold that will never be attacked, except staying in the stronghold every day, wasting time, and not making any military achievements.
For a Japanese devil who is eager to go to the battlefield, staying at the stronghold is undoubtedly a torment.
Every day it was dark, except for dozens of puppet troops on duty, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops were all huddled in the barracks to sleep.
Perhaps it was because the Japanese and puppet troops believed too much about their judgment on the national rescue army and believed that they were about to reorganize the Imperial Army and could not attack the stronghold.
The dozens of puppet troops on duty at night were not vigilant.
Pretending to guard the roof of the artillery tower and the post, he was actually sleeping soundly...
Tonight, they were on duty as usual, and they slept. Before ten o'clock, the base became quiet.
Except for a few vaguely visible puppet army sentries standing on the roof of the artillery tower, there was not even a single active Japanese in the huge stronghold.
By the early morning, the several puppet army sentries were silent and they all slept soundly by the mercenary on the roof of the artillery tower.
Outside the stronghold, more than a hundred figures formed a scattered line and quickly approached the stronghold. Each black shadow was holding a gun, holding a light machine gun, and holding a submachine gun. They were like ghosts, without making any sound.
Three hundred meters behind them, two piles of thatched trees suddenly appeared at some time.
Behind the haystack, more than a dozen soldiers were digging gun positions on the ground, and some soldiers piled bags filled with soil into front of the gun positions to form a temporary cover to protect the artillery that was about to be in place!
Two minutes later, two infantry artillery were pushed into the gun position one in front and one behind.
More than a dozen gunners immediately became busy around the two infantry cannons. Some adjusted the shooting angle of the cannons, some fiddled with shells behind, and some were half-squatting behind the sandbag bunker to guard...
After aiming at the central artillery tower of the stronghold, the gunners immediately squatted beside the infantry cannon and prepared to fire the cannon.
On the battlefield two hundred meters away, more than a hundred black shadows were still approaching the stronghold. They wanted to shorten the attack distance as much as possible before the Japanese and puppet troops discovered them.
Once the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold discovered them and fired at them, two infantry cannons immediately fired and exploded the artillery tower with the fastest speed.
Behind a small pile of earth seventy or eighty meters behind the infantry artillery, Huang Hu, the captain of the Shouyang Guard Brigade, squatted here, holding a telescope and staring at the artillery tower in the middle of the stronghold with a nervous look on his face.
This is the first major battle that the Shouyang Guard Team has fought since its establishment.
The mission of the regiment headquarters to the garrison brigade is: to kill more enemies in one night, so the garrison brigade will be divided into three groups tonight.
He led the garrison brigade's strongest combat power to attack the Tongcheng stronghold with the most Japanese and puppet troops around Shouyang. The deputy commander and chief of staff each led a new battalion to attack two small strongholds.
After the stronghold was defeated, the troops swept through the nearby artillery towers with lightning speed, striving to capture all the Japanese and puppet troops around Shouyang in one night.
Huang Hu has a very big appetite, and if he wants to get high returns, he will have to bear higher risks.
It is very dangerous to fight several battles tonight, especially the battle in front of you.
Although the Japanese transferred many troops from here, the Japanese and puppet troops left behind the strongholds still reached about 500, and they also had very complete fortifications to defend.
Although I brought nearly 800 people, I seemed to have gained the advantage of military strength. But if I wanted to win the stronghold through a strong attack, my chances of winning were less than 30%, and I would pay a huge price.
So Huang Hu thought of a sneak attack.
Using the Japanese and puppet troops in the strongholds to underestimate the national rescue army, let the main attack troops get as close to the stronghold as possible, and while the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops is still sleeping in the barracks, quickly break through the outer defense line, enter the stronghold, and strangle with the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the strongholds."
"If you fight like this, Huang Hu has more than 70% chance of winning, and he can also control his casualties within his own tolerance."
