Chapter 400 Never want to sleep
Even if it belongs to the Japanese combat sequence, the garrison troops sent to the occupied areas will undoubtedly have a lower position in the army than the division troops responsible for the combat. At this time, the Luzhou City garrison was actually subject to the jurisdiction of the combat division.
The news was completely wiped out by two squadrons who left the city to sweep. For the Luzhou garrison officers, this news was undoubtedly a reality that they were unwilling to accept. They originally wanted to delay the delay for two days before reporting it, and tried to find out the attacked rebels and kill them before reporting to the division.
As a result, what surprised the colonel garrison was that the situation in Luzhou would change so dramatically in a short period of time. The road from Chucheng to Luzhou was almost paralyzed, and many transportation teams were attacked.
From time to time, the colonel also seemed a little anxious and said, "Why did the situation become so complicated? Damn, what exactly do the city defense troops stationed in Chucheng do for food?"
"Your Excellency Colonel, in fact, no wonder other city guard squadrons. Their strength is very limited. They must not only ensure the safety of the occupied areas, but also prevent those sneak attacks that resisted the armed forces. There is really no way, this requires mobile troops!"
Earlier, there were harassment incidents in counties around Chucheng, or there were anti-Japanese armed forces attacking the Japanese army's supply convoys. The Japanese troops stationed in Chucheng would send vehicles or cavalry to help. Now, this unit has been completely wiped out by Hu Biao.
The New Fourth Army, which began to attack everywhere, went from being cautious at first to a few tests, and found that the Japanese soldiers stationed in the county did not dare to go out of the city to pursue them. This situation quickly made the New Fourth Army commanders and fighters see the opportunity.
In some towns that were valued by the Japanese army before, the local tyrants and evil gentry who were rich and unkind, quickly became the targets of attack and eradication of the New Fourth Army. Many traitors and gentry had armed guards, but they still dared not look at them in front of the New Fourth Army.
As the people said, if you work hard for the Japanese devils, you will sooner or later be put on a list by the anti-Japanese armed forces to calculate the general account. Now when you see these traitors and evil gentry who have been attacked, many of the people applaud and feel very relieved.
Correspondingly, more and more young people who took the initiative to apply to join the New Fourth Army have become, and more and more people who are willing to try to believe in the New Fourth Army. This also means that the New Fourth Army has completely opened up the situation in Chucheng.
The rest is to maintain this situation, strive to grow the team in the shortest time, and open up more guerrilla areas and bases behind enemy lines. The territory is large and there are many teams. In the future, the confidence will be greater when fighting with the Japanese.
Regarding what happened in Chucheng, Hu Biao, who was resting outside Luzhou City, could only obtain it through telegram. The more noise there was on the ground in Chucheng, the more it could attract the attention of the Japanese, and let the Japanese army draw more troops to encircle and suppress.
The problem is that the Japanese army is now in the occupied areas, although there are many mobile troops stationed. However, accordingly, these mobile troops are also one by one. I believe the Japanese will feel very distressed about the manpower and material resources spent on cross-provincial troops.
The only feasible way is to pull back the 13th Division, which is still moving forward, and first put out the anti-Japanese war fires that ignited the occupied areas. If the rear is unstable, they will feel uneasy to attack on the front line.
What Hu Biao hoped at this moment was to disrupt the offensive steps of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army and give more preparation time to the National Army troops responsible for defense. The more times the Japanese army went tossed, the easier it was for the task force to find a fatal blow.
Correspondingly, the number of national troops currently gathered on the front line is actually quite large. If there is really a chance to encircle and suppress a division, Hu Biao believes that national generals like Li Zongren will not miss such an excellent opportunity.
As night fell, the Japanese soldiers stationed in Luzhou City seemed to know what happened during the day. The destruction of the two sweeping squadrons not only greatly shocked the Japanese in the city, but also made the puppet troops who were recruited and bought up.
When on duty at night, some puppet troops also whispered: "I heard that the two gangs of Taijun who left the city during the day were killed by someone! Who did this? Will they attack Luzhou City?"
"Who knows! I always feel that this job is not down-to-earth. If you don't say anything, you might be a cannon fodder again!"
"What can we do if we don't join the army? Alas, in this world, farming is not peaceful, and there is no gun on hand, and life is hard to save!"
Just as the puppet troops were talking in a low voice, discussing and analyzing the recent situation and situation, Xu Sandao, who had received the order from Hu Biao, also led his reconnaissance team to make final preparations before the artillery attack.
Looking at the mortars set up, a captain smiled and said, "Captain, did you do it so early? Look at the lights in the city, the Japanese shouldn't have a rest yet! Once we fire the fire, they will still be in full swing?"
"What you want is to make them mess up! Remember, each cannon will be fired with a box of shells and transfer them immediately. To ensure safety, everyone will leave immediately after the bombardment is over, and don't let the Japanese counterattack be injured!"
It is clear that the Japanese army stationed in Luzhou City also cooperates with an artillery squadron. Once they encounter artillery attacks, the Japanese artillery will quickly enter the state of war, and it will not even take long to use artillery fire to fight back.
But Xu Sandao fought tonight and did not ask for many enemies to kill, just to make the Japanese in the city unable to sleep all night. In such a poor vision at night, I believe that the Japanese are unlikely to send infantry out of the city, and it is wise to defend the city defense.
Even if the Japanese send infantry out of the city, there are also sniper combat teams sent by Hu Biao. These sniper team members will also provide vigilance protection for the reconnaissance team responsible for the harassment. If the Japanese want to go out of the city to pursue, they will also depend on whether the sniper team is willing to let go.
Staring at several brightly lit areas in the city, many artillery soldiers said, "If there were a few mountain cannons, we would definitely be able to let the Japanese drink a pot tonight. The distance between the mortars is somewhat closer, and it cannot reach the core of the Japanese."
"Don't worry! There are thousands of Japanese devils stationed in this city, which is enough for us to have fun. The mission of our trip is to make Japanese devils in the city anxious and even make them nervous. In this way, they will ask for reinforcements from the higher authorities.
What we want to see is that the Japanese hope that they will call more reinforcements back. At that time, we can siege the city and fight for reinforcements, or leave from Luzhou City, run to other places, and continue to cause trouble for the Japanese.
As for mountain cannons, I believe there will be a chance to use them! Now, use the mortar in your hands well! You must be fast, finish the work, go to the next place to wait. Then bombard it once every once in a while!"
"Yes, squadron leader!"
I know that the members of the reconnaissance team also hope to cause more losses to the Japanese in the city. But in Xu Sandao's opinion, this is of course more effective, but using mountain cannons and using mortars are completely different concepts.
Generally speaking, mortars are more common in Japanese squadrons or brigades. In the combat sequence of the national army, combat troops at the battalion level can also be seen. On the other hand, mountain guns must be corps or regiments or division level units.
Eight mortars lined up in a row, and the team members responsible for the artillery picked up a shell and quietly stared at Luzhou City in front. Just after Xu Sandao ordered the "fire of artillery", there were a series of thudding sounds coming from the temporary artillery position.
At the same time, eight flames instantly rose into the air, and eight shells that were out of the bore quickly rushed to the Luzhou City ahead. The Japanese who were patrolling the city of the city soon discovered this sudden flame.
Some Japanese even pointed at him and said, "What's that? Why is it still lit up?"
One of the sergeants saw this and screamed in horror: "This is the tail flame of the shell! The enemy attacks! The shelling! Hidden!"
Amid its screams, eight artillery shells dragging the tail flame fell straight into the city. With explosions after explosion, the Japanese and puppet troops who had not yet rested quickly formed a group of groups and began to gather quickly.
The Japanese garrison commander who also heard the sound of shelling also said unexpectedly: "What's the situation?"
"Grand Colonel, the south of the city was bombarded by the enemy!"
"Does anyone want to attack us?"
"Your Excellency Colonel, the guards in charge of the city defense did not find any movement outside the city. The only thing that can be confirmed is that there should be a group of attackers lurking in the south of the city. I just don't know how many of them are!"
"Baga! Order the artillery squadron to quickly organize a counterattack and destroy all these damn artillery!"
In order to kill as many targets as possible, the eight mortars set up outside the city were adjusted from time to time. In this way, the shells falling in each round seemed extremely different, making the nearby Japanese and puppet troops unable to defend themselves.
On the other hand, the Japanese artillery squadron, which received the counterattack order, took a certain amount of time from entering the position to setting up artillery to adjusting the angle of the artillery barrel. When the Japanese finally fired the artillery, the shelling outside the city seemed to have stopped.
The Japanese and puppet troops who arrived in the south of the city were responsible for reinforcements, stood on the city wall and watched their every move outside the city, trying to find out the attackers who might be hidden. It was obvious that there were deadly gunfires outside the city, and many Japanese devils were killed on the city wall.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese officer in charge of command also said cautiously: "Hide! Stay up! Don't show off at will! Damn, there should be a Chinese sharpshooter lurking outside the city, notify the artillery squadron and plow the outside of the city!"
Unfortunately, the soldiers of the sniper team were not stupid. After several rounds of sniping, they quickly moved their positions. Knowing that the location in the south of the city will become the focus of the Japanese's defense and attack, they moved to other directions.
Although it takes a little time, the reconnaissance team is not afraid of not having a sniper team. When they move to a new position, they can rest for a while, and then wait for the next round of attacks to continue to harass the Japanese in the city.
