Chapter 67 Ordered to go to Wutai
Chapter 67: Ordered to go to Wutai
The three platoon commanders looked at the battlefield after the victory, a little disbelieving in themselves: "Company commander? We, we won now? One company killed an entire brigade?"
Zhao Hu said with a smile: "Not only that, but also a squadron of heavy troops. This shows that no matter how powerful the Japanese are, they are no match for our guerrilla warfare. Everyone, hurry up and clean the battlefield, and arrange personnel to pay attention to air defense."
A lot was seized, including a broken radio and two 92-gun cannons that failed to fire a single shot. In total, there were three to five hundred good guns, including dozens of rifles.
This gun has only produced more than 90,000 units in Japan. It can be said to be the best rifle. It also uses 6.5 bullets, which is 30 centimeters shorter than the 38-gun, but has a range of more than 40 meters and is very accurate.
The spear spur is not put on the muzzle, but is foldable, similar to the later Type 56. In order to prevent the cavalry from breaking when sprinting, the spear spur is made into a spear shape, and there are almost no three-sided spurs.
Zhao Hu asked the Shen brothers to put on this 4-4 lance first, and decided to imitate this rifle after returning. Firstly, the gun body was short, saving materials, and secondly, it could be carried on the back.
There are two heavy machine guns in good condition and a lot of 7.7 bullets. After each soldier has replenished 200 rounds, there will still be a lot left. Of course, there are also a lot of crooked guns, good or bad.
All weapons and ammunition, including the Japanese military uniforms, were stripped off and transported to the ravine. There were few people and many weapons, so they could not be taken away. Zhao Hu asked the third platoon to take action again, first transporting the wounded to Huangyadong in the south, and by the way, Ni
The commander will send some more people over.
The spring rain finally fell from the sky. The Japanese were unable to send out planes and could not contact the Noda Brigade. The entire regiment was panicked. This was a brigade of men. Plus a squadron, the force could basically beat a regiment of the Guoming Army.
Now there was no sound, and a shadow suddenly covered the faces of all the officers.
The southern front was not going well either. The 117th Regiment was surrounded by the main force of our army in Changle Village. The Japanese army in Liao County had to send more than a thousand troops to support, but they were blocked by part of the 772nd Regiment and the 689th Regiment.
Keep calling for support from the county.
Gao Shujiayi of the 117th Regiment shot himself in the foot this time. When he attacked recklessly, Commander Liu and Political Commissar Deng seized the opportunity in time and surrounded him in the Zhuozhang Valley. The 16th Division did not have many troops to begin with, and the two brigades added
There are less than 3,000 workers and cavalrymen in the ranks. After excluding the engineer squadron that rescued people, there are only about 700 left in the county.
Sukegawa Shizuzo looked at the stern message from brigade commander Sasaki, and felt bad all over. Both sides were at odds, which one should be saved first?
After thinking about it, more than a thousand people have been sent to the southern front anyway, and Takashu is seeking his own death. Whether he can hold on depends on whether Amaterasu will bless him. I'd better go and see how the Noda Brigade is doing.
There are 1,300 or 400 people going out, but there can’t be even one messenger, right?
Without the second batch of reinforcements, the surrounded 117th Regiment suddenly fell into disaster. There were no planes in the sky to participate in the battle. The 129th Division used all its troops to launch a fierce attack at dusk, first cutting the enemies in the valley into several sections.
, and then used two mountain cannons to blast the Japanese in the valley.
After the artillery fire ceased, the soldiers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were like fierce tigers emerging from the mountains, picking up their rifles and charging into the crowd of Japanese while firing.
Different from the past, this time the main force of the division was close to the arsenal, with sufficient ammunition, and all two mountain cannons were mobilized. Only half of the shells were used to blow up the temporary bunker set up by the Japanese on the river beach to pieces.
When the battlefield was finally cleaned, I realized that this time I had actually annihilated a Japanese regiment. Of course, this was only the main force of the 117th regiment. As for the workmen and cavalry artillery, they only brought a small part. Although their designations were still there,
However, the entire regiment has basically lost its main combat effectiveness, and it will not be able to recover within a few years.
The main force of a Japanese regiment was annihilated at one time, and the casualties and wounded totaled more than 500. However, only more than 200 people were sacrificed. A beautiful 15-to-1 ratio was achieved at once. It can be said that the entire Chinese battlefield has reached
There has never been such a large proportion of victory before.
Of course, this result was soon broken after Xiaodudou and the others arrived at Huangya Cave.
"What? You said that your company defeated an entire brigade? There were only dozens of casualties. Xiao Zhu, you weren't caught in the rain, were you?"
"I didn't get caught in the rain, and I don't have a fever. This is the captured Zuoguan knife."
Commander Ni took it and took a look and said in surprise: "It's true, there is a plum blossom on the handle of this knife. By the way, how many weapons have you seized this time? Are they really the weapons of a whole brigade?"
Company Commander Zhu quickly reported: "Except for the ones broken by the Japanese, there are still more than 440 good guns, eight light machine guns and two heavy machine guns. Our company commander said that if he has time, he can take those
Most of the broken guns have been repaired."
This capture was truly remarkable. Just one company, without heavy weapons, actually wiped out a reinforced Japanese brigade, and it was completely wiped out. No one would believe it when told of it, but it just happened.
Commander Ni looked at the more than 30 tall war horses, more than a hundred Type 44 lances and a large number of light and heavy weapons in front of him. He simply couldn't believe his eyes: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, your battle results are not as good as those of other countries."
How much difference is there in the division's main force? If it doesn't work, I have to report it and give you a reward for the entire company. This is an incredible victory!"
The heads of the division and headquarters soon arrived at Huangyadong. Once they arrived, they found that the terrain here was very secluded, making it the most ideal place to set up an arsenal. In addition, the mountains on both sides were towering. Even if the Japanese planes came over, it would be difficult for them to bomb. They could fly high.
It cannot explode, it flies low and can hit mountains at any time.
Zuo Shen and others were full of praise when they saw it, and immediately decided that Huangyadong would be the most critical arsenal of the Eighth Route Army headquarters from now on. All manpower and material resources should be tilted towards Huangyadong. At the same time, Zuo Shen also transferred the defense team of the arsenal from
The company level is raised to the battalion level, and later to the regiment level.
As for the results of the engineering company, they are also reported to the headquarters and the central government. They will all be rewarded as soon as the order is given!
Here, Zhao Hu had just settled the sick and wounded in the engineering company and was about to show off his skills and start repairing the guns, when Commander Ni called him over again.
"Xiao Zhao, there is a special task that I want to entrust you to complete this time. Are you confident?"
"Yes! Whether we are going up a mountain of swords or going down into a sea of fire, our engineer company will never frown!"
"Don't be nervous, it's just a simple escort mission. Sit down and listen to me first!" Commander Ni poured a bowl of water specially, and Zhao Hu jumped up to catch it.
"Sit down, sit down. Logically speaking, your engineering company has just made such a great victory, so you shouldn't be assigned a mission. But this time the situation is a bit urgent. An American medical team to aid China came to our northwestern Shanxi..."
As soon as Zhao Hu heard this, he thought, could it be that Dr. Bai is here?
Sure enough, Commander Ni continued: "This medical team has a Canadian party member with superb medical skills, but they are very short of surgical instruments in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, and our army happened to eliminate most of the 117th Regiment this time and captured
One of their field hospitals, so they want to escort a batch of medical equipment across Zhengtai Road to Wutai. There are not many things. This whole road is blocked by the Japanese army. If there are too many people, they will be exposed. If there are too few people, we will not be able to fight. We
After some research, we have decided to send you with five members of the special operations team, are you confident?"
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" If I can't go back this time, I have to go. Dr. Bai, thank you. Maybe we can contact Canadian or American personnel through him and get a lot of foreign aid for the future war of resistance.
"As long as you have confidence, you can set off as soon as you are ready. You can choose the weapons from the arsenal, but one thing is that you must not cause any trouble along the way. You must deliver the medical equipment safely and a batch of automatic weapons sent by the central government.
Bring me the sulfonamide tablets."
"Ah, can we produce sulfonamide tablets?" When Zhao Hu heard this, he felt that the situation was great. There were many wounded people at the headquarters, but the medicines were only brought with them when they set off, and they were already stretched thin.
"It's not like you brought some raw materials last time, otherwise they wouldn't be able to produce them so quickly. Well, go to the arsenal and take a look. If you have any weapons, bring them with you. I'll give you one day to prepare them. Once the equipment arrives tomorrow night
Let’s go!”
Zhao Hu came to the company headquarters and found that Director Lin was not there. Xu Hongyuan said: "Instructor Lin went to the headquarters hospital. At the same time, the border officer also ordered Director Lin to mobilize the masses to join the army. This time the security office has been promoted to the battalion level, and there are still many soldiers missing.
.”
"Oh, this requires us to mobilize ourselves. By the way, why do we work on the side? Are we studying on the side? This guy has been promoted?"
"Isn't there no one yet? This...he himself asked to be a security officer in the arsenal, and as soon as this guy arrived here, he found a reason to kill a few Japanese artillerymen. We were almost able to convince these guys.
What a failure. Alas, life will be hard for me from now on."
Zhao Hu also felt that it was difficult to work with this guy. He didn't expect it to be so difficult, but now he couldn't help it. Maybe this guy was targeting him. So he said to Xu Hongyuan: "You two, get ready and go on a mission tomorrow night."
