After receiving the report of the attack on the military column, Captain Guizi Shanpu immediately sent a cavalry squadron to the scene of the accident. An hour later, the squad escorting the military column and the cavalry squadron lost contact. Shanpu felt that the situation was not good. It seemed that the situation was not good.
It was not the work of a small group of enemies. An elite cavalry squadron plus a well-equipped Imperial Army squad could often drive several battalions of Chinese troops into flight. In the past, small groups of Eighth Route Army guerrillas harassed railway lines, but
It was all a small fight, and he did not dare to engage in a head-on battle with the imperial army. The people he encountered today were obviously not good people, and there were many of them. He was considering sending troops for reinforcements, but the intensive sound of gunfire from around the station made him give up the idea.
Compared with the warehouses where a large amount of military supplies are stored in the station, the military trains that did not enter the station have a greater responsibility to protect the latter. He immediately ordered the Japanese troops guarding the warehouses to guard them tightly, and the gendarmerie and puppet army squadrons quickly attacked.
The center of the station was guarded by Japanese soldiers at all levels, and the surrounding area was guarded by a squadron of puppet troops. Li Ming led Li Tiezhu's second battalion and transportation company to lurk outside the station. When Liu Heizi's first battalion succeeded in attacking the military column, the Japanese soldiers sent out a cavalry squadron for reinforcements.
After that, he immediately ordered the troops to advance quietly towards the station under the cover of night.
It was impossible for a large force of nearly 600 people to move without making some noise. When the puppet soldiers who were on guard near the station were spotted, they fired alarms. The shrill sirens rang through the night sky, and the strong searchlight beams swayed across each other, illuminating the earth as if it were daytime.
The small traders at the station quickly closed their stalls and went back to their nests. The people closed their doors and hid in their homes without turning on the lights. Suddenly there was no one on the usually busy roads. Under the supervision of the Japanese military police, all the puppet troops were dispatched to open fire on the Tigers.
.
The Anti-Japanese Tigers failed in their sneak attack and were not allowed to resort to forceful attack. Intensive gunfire rang through the night sky, and grenade and mortar shells smashed into the enemy group like hail. Li Ming ordered the snipers to focus on greeting the Japanese military police who were supervising the battle.
The puppet army squadrons surrounding the defense station were composed of local armed forces recruited by the Japanese. Their combat effectiveness was poor and they could not withstand the powerful attack of the Anti-Japanese Tigers. Most of them were killed or injured in less than ten minutes of fighting. How could the surviving puppet troops have the heart to resist?
They dispersed one after another. The puppet army was defeated like a mountain. The Japanese military police caught in the middle yelled and shot several deserters, but to no avail. Seeing the Japanese, the squad leader of the puppet army turned against the Japanese and refused to recognize anyone and shot his comrades. He was afraid that he would also be the next target, so he simply
Taking advantage of the chaos, they fired black guns at the Japanese. Several of the Japanese military police who screamed the most fiercely were shot in the head by snipers from the Anti-Japanese Tigers and fell to the ground.
After repelling the puppet troops, the Tigers spread out in skirmish formation and rushed into the center of the station, encountering stubborn resistance from the Japanese garrison. Before the war, Jiang Hailong and Li Ming analyzed that the entire enemy force at the station consisted of one Japanese brigade and one cavalry.
squadron, a gendarmerie squad and a puppet army squadron. The puppet army squadron has little combat effectiveness and can be captured quickly. After the army column is attacked, the Japanese will definitely take away the fast-moving cavalry squadron for reinforcements, and divide the remaining Japanese soldiers into the brigade.
Guard each warehouse and never dare to act rashly and take the initiative to attack, so that we can break them one by one. The troops should try to avoid casualties and use more firepower to break through.
For safety reasons, the Japs' arsenal was more than a mile away from the grain depot and the uniform depot. The defensive force of the latter was relatively weak. Li Ming decided to start there first, and then concentrate his forces to attack the arsenal after success.
Li Tiezhu led the first company to stay in a feint attack, attracting the firepower of the Japanese arsenal. Li Ming led the second company, third company and transportation company to move to the grain depot and the service warehouse.
Opposite the two warehouses there is a two-story building, which is a Japanese company. Li Ming, who is also the commander of the logistics battalion, would not let it go. He shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, the little devils are plundering the house every day."
Our minerals are shipped to Japan, and we brought his foreign goods today!"
The soldiers responded loudly, broke through the doors and windows of the foreign bank, charged and fired, killing all the guards and the Japanese bosses and clerks who wanted to exploit China's national wealth. In the basement vault, they collected a total of 200,000 yuan in cash, as well as several antiques from various eras. Li Ming
He gritted his teeth and cursed: "What a stupid little Japan, I don't know how much money it takes from China every year!"
The soldiers used various obstacles to extend their guns, set up machine guns on the roof, placed grenade launchers, and swatting cannons. At Li Ming's order, all kinds of weapons opened fire at once, overwhelming the grain depot and the defenders of the depot and unable to raise their heads.
Come, the bunker made of sandbags was blown away together with the Japs and firearms inside. The warehouse was hit by several slap shells, and the flammable materials inside were ignited. The Japs fought back while fighting the fire, exhausted. The Tigers
Dense bullets were thrown at the clear target reflected in the raging fire. Half an hour later, there was no more swaying figure of the Japanese in the firelight.
The commander of the transportation company, Wang Weihua, led his soldiers to break through the Japanese garage next to the grain depot. There were not many enemies defending the garage, and captain Shanpu detached some of his troops to guard the arsenal. The transportation company made a fierce attack, killing and wounding more than a dozen soldiers.
At the cost, less than a small group of Japanese soldiers were killed.
