[69 Book Bar-www.] Chapter 41: A Shot in the Central Plains
The first battle of the army started in Yuanyang. According to the intelligence, Jiang Tuan found that a Japanese brigade and a mountain artillery squadron were stationed here. There were not many troops. So let's use them to practice their skills and run in the new army's troops.
.
Yuanyang is an ancient small town, located to the north of the Yellow River, across the river from Zhengzhou. It is a bridgehead at the Yellow River ferry. The strategic location is very important. The population is only about 10,000. But the market is very lively, and people from the south
Merchants traveling north will stay here for a while.
Therefore, the Japanese army also attaches great importance to this place and has heavily guarded it. The highlight of this Japanese army is the mountain artillery battalion, which is too threatening. If it can be captured and turned over, it will be the biggest killer of the Jiang regiment.
Although Shui Rou is not short of artillery, he is more willing to use it to stimulate the fighting spirit of the troops. He is also more willing to use the Japanese army's arms to attack the Japanese army themselves. He has such a hobby.
Jiang Shuirou ordered the third battalion to protect the regiment headquarters. Langya and the first and second battalions encircled the Japanese troops in Yuanyang and tried not to make any noise. Langya took the order and went to the Japanese mountain artillery squadron, and the remaining troops surrounded and annihilated a Japanese brigade.
The battle started at midnight. Langya entered the station of the mountain artillery squadron and silently eliminated the Japanese army's light and dark sentries. With a wave of his hand, he broke into the Japanese army's dormitory. He used the Japanese soldiers who were still sleeping soundly in their dreams to
Dagger killed a Japanese army of a mountain artillery squadron. Then he concentrated a large amount of captured supplies in the yard and waited for Shui Rou to receive them. There was actually a large amount of funds here.
The task of solving a Japanese brigade was quite arduous, and the troops had to use weapons. The troops who attacked the Japanese brigade headquarters, and after solving the Japanese overt and covert outposts, a squad of soldiers immediately found the Japanese telecommunications room;
There was a Japanese soldier on duty. The soldiers of the Jiang Regiment easily eliminated the Japanese soldier. One man was left to guard the telecommunications equipment in the house, and the other soldiers immediately attacked other rooms.
But just when other soldiers broke into the Japanese barracks, a Japanese soldier happened to come out to use the toilet. The Japanese soldier was still in a daze. Suddenly he saw the black shadow shaking all over the yard, and he was suddenly horrified.
"Enemy——enemy——enemy attack——"
Before he could say the word "attack", soldiers from the Jiang regiment used daggers as flying knives and knocked him to the ground.
In the dormitory of the Japanese soldiers, a Japanese soldier, Captain Cao, who was quite awakened from his sleep, immediately shouted, "Enemy attack--" and a commotion immediately broke out in the dormitory.
Although the soldier outside was dealt with as soon as he shouted, the alert Japs discovered that the little Japs who had taken a rest unexpectedly rushed out naked and fired. At this time, the soldiers of the Jiang Regiment did not
After finding a solution, the troops had no choice but to use guns to solve the problem.
The submachine guns showed their power at this close range. The soldiers of the Jiang Regiment moved quickly to seize the favorable terrain and get close to the shooting blind spot of the house. The division of labor was clear, and all the Japanese soldiers who ran out were immediately thrown to the ground. The soldiers who did not run out were also killed.
The grenade thrown into the room exploded and killed him inside the house. The one-sided attack made the Japanese soldiers scream in agony.
Fortunately, the speed was very fast, and the Japanese were eliminated before they had time to send a report. A large amount of weapons and ammunition from the Japanese army were seized, as well as a warehouse of supplies. Shuirou recovered all the supplies. There were also a large number of cars that could be used.
Due to the large amount of funds seized, Shui Rou gave two oceans as a reward to all the people in the regiment, which was called combat expenses. The whole army was overjoyed. Shui Rou ordered the troops to block the news and wait for the information.
At this time, a staff officer suddenly said to Shui Rou,
"Captain, don't we have a radio station?"
"Yes? A lot of them were seized."
"Then we can use the Japanese army's radio to monitor the Japanese army's intelligence messages. Then we can know the movements of the Japanese army very quickly, as well as the deployment of other troops of our national army."
"Yes, how could I have forgotten this problem? I am so confused by the chaos every day. Isn't this just a password war?"
Shui Rou quickly used the existing Japanese military transceivers and the latest captured codes. A telecommunications room was set up on site, and she appointed this staff officer as the director to search for people who had worked in radio stations throughout the regiment. She actually found several people.
Shui Rou immediately set up four radio stations to monitor them. He collected a large number of documents on Japanese military correspondence and sent them to the intelligence room for summary.
At this time, Jiang Tuan's intelligence became clear. There was a lot of room for Shui Rou to choose. Jiang Shui Rou knew through the telegrams exchanged between the Japanese army and the National Army that the National Army planned to use the National Army's retreat and defense situation in the Lanfeng area to encircle and annihilate them.
Japanese 11th Division.
Due to greed for merit, this division rushed forward, far away from the Japanese army, and went deep alone. They were purely greedy people. Shuirou suddenly felt her heart shake, this was an excellent opportunity. If they unite as one, they will definitely eat it.
The Japanese 11th Division will give the Chinese army, which is constantly suffering defeats, a shot in the arm to inspire people.
The formation of this situation coincided with the defeat of a large number of National Army troops in the Battle of Xuzhou. They retreated to the west and inadvertently formed a two-sided attack situation with the National Army holding the Lanfeng line. As for the Japanese Eleventh Division,
Cha Cha's surprise attack and wedged into the middle zone. The national army wanted to take this excellent opportunity to fight a battle in the Lanfeng area to boost the morale of the national army.
Shui Rou must take part in this rare opportunity. Then he would attack the Japanese army closest to Lan Feng, that is, the troops of the Japanese 14th Division in Xinxiang, and grab its legs to make it difficult for them to move. This way
It will greatly reduce the pressure on the Chinese army in the Lanfeng area.
Shuirou had already sensed signs of movement of the Japanese 14th Division. She immediately ordered the troops to attack Mucheng on the west side and encircle and annihilate a large group of Japanese troops in Mucheng. In this way, when the Japanese army turned around and wanted to encircle Jiang Group, Shuirou could
It can quickly break through the encirclement and enter Zhongtiao Mountain; it can also relieve the worries of attacking the Japanese troops in Xinxiang.
Mucheng is a small county town. Due to its ancient history, there are city walls around it, but the walls are not too high. But they still have a certain effect on people. Mucheng, Xiuwu and Boai county towns form a triangle and can support each other.
This time Jiang Regiment was assigned to the Chinese soldiers for combat. In addition to the logistics organization, all four battalions were deployed to fight, striving to resolve the battle within an hour. Otherwise, the Japanese support troops from Xiuwu and Boai would be beaten.
.In this battle, there was no support from neighboring blocking troops, only two companies of our own reinforcement troops.
Shuirou gave Wolf and Leopard an extremely difficult task. Sneak into the city and solve it in advance within the attack time. The Japanese command organization, mainly the destruction of communication facilities, prevented the Japanese rescue information from being sent out; the military police also
There is an arsenal and the city gate is open. The combat mission is extremely difficult.
Wolf and Leopard took the order and left early, while the other troops took orders and quietly assembled at their respective locations.
On May 18, 1938, the Jiang Regiment's attack on Mucheng began. It was a mute battle at the beginning. The commandos emerged from nowhere and first cut off external communications. They successively captured the brigade headquarters and the gendarmerie.
, then the warehouse, and then the city gate.
The troops swarmed in without any disorder, approaching the Japanese barracks. Suddenly there was gunfire, as fierce as popping beans. However, it did not last long before it was terminated. Mucheng was captured in this way.
Shui Rou confiscated the Japanese and puppet assets and food in the city. In addition to distributing some to the masses, they all were used as military rations.
