Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tuan continued to advance and captured Xiuwu County. They used the artillery of the mountain artillery squadron that captured the Japanese army. Xiuwu is located between Xinxiang and Jiaozuo. It is a key town with a railway passing through it. After Shuirou captured Mucheng
, which eliminates the worries of attacking Xiuwu.
Shuirou's attack on Xiuwu this time is to make the noise as loud as possible. The worries have been lifted; there is no longer the threat of Mucheng. The current combat goal has changed to try to push the Japanese 14th Division from Lan
Feng was pulled back from the battlefield.
There is a railway passing through Xiuwu County, so the Japanese army set up a large arms warehouse here to provide combat supplies for the Japanese army in the Central Plains region. The Japanese army's warehouse is really not that big, it is very big. There are too many supplies.
It turned out that this was the Japanese army's logistics supply base that took care of both Xinxiang and Jiaozuo.
Shui Rou did not expect that during this battle, too many supplies from the Japanese army would be seized. So she thought of selling guns, bullets and bullets to raise military pay. Selling them at a high price could not only support the war of resistance but also raise part of the military pay.
So in the logistics department, a special department was set up to purchase arms and supplies, called the Arms and Supplies Processing Department. The medicines could not be sold, as they were too expensive. They had to use them themselves, right? But I didn’t expect that as soon as this measure came up, it would be immediately
There are a lot of customers. Most of them are members of the national army, so they are really rich.
It turns out that in order to be promoted in the national army, there must be combat captures, especially older guns and ammunition from the Japanese army, which are more valuable and equivalent to the number of Japanese soldiers killed. If there is no actual combat capture, then
Sorry, I can only buy ready-made ones to replenish the balance. In this way, this strange phenomenon occurs. Fraud is commonplace in the government, and everyone can do it.
Shui Rou saw that the Japanese 14th Division still had no intention of returning, and knew that the battle in Lanfeng had entered an extremely fierce state. The Japanese army was determined to lose soldiers and save vehicles at all costs to save the 11th Division's fate. Shui Rou
Seeing this situation, they were determined to intensify their attacks on the Japanese army.
Shui Rou was determined to attack Huojia and went straight to Xinxiang. He moved his troops to Huojia's city with great fanfare. He also installed the heavy artillery in his hand and directly bombarded the city wall. The 150-caliber heavy artillery was a massacre in the world.
The gun blasted a large hole in the city wall with one shot. The guarding troops had to ask for help from the division headquarters.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Chinese army's artillery fire is too fierce and we can no longer defend. Please give us tactical guidance."
"Nan Nai? How many people are there in the Chinese army?"
"A lot, about a division's worth of troops, and they used 150-caliber heavy artillery."
Shui Rou saw that the Japanese army still had no intention of responding to the message and was still waiting and watching, so she was sorry.
Jiang Tuan's troops directly captured the city gate and poured into the town. They seized all the enemy and puppet assets with ease, reported them to the masses, and shot a large number of traitors who had committed heinous crimes and had blood debts. Jiang Shuirou compared traitors to traitors.
If you still hate Japanese soldiers, they are the scum of the nation.
The troops continued to point their troops towards Xinxiang. They came to the city and besieged Xinxiang on three sides. Surrounding three and leaving one. Isn't this insufficient strength? Large-caliber mortars were used to bombard the city wall on two sides. Shuirou personally commanded one side and bombarded with 150 artillery pieces. The troops also
If they didn't show up, they would bomb with artillery, make full use of the sniper rifles in each company, and shoot at the roll call. They would rush back in a short while and not get within the range of the Japanese machine guns.
The telegrams sent by the Chinese and Japanese troops were monitored, but there was still no reply. It seemed that the Japanese army was determined to recapture the 11th Division and did not care about anything. This was because this was an order from the North China Expeditionary Army, and the order was to recapture the 11th Division at all costs.
One division.
Snake also reported that there was no movement of large Japanese troops nearby. Shuirou decided to attack the city. The artillery fire extended to bombard the command center in the city. The artillery extended the artillery fire according to the coordinates provided by Snake, and 150 were knocked out with one shot. The Japanese army
The headquarters of the 14th Division. The second artillery is the gendarmerie.
The siege troops from three sides rushed into the city with shouts. As long as they saw the Japanese army, they didn't ask any questions, they just massacred them. They couldn't even raise their hands. The remnants of the Japanese army fled for their lives.
Shui Rou did not pursue them, and immediately ordered the troops to seize the property of the Japanese and puppets, including the shops of Japanese merchants. All of them were confiscated. The traitors, traitors, and local scoundrels who had committed the most heinous crimes were shot to death. They were all breeding grounds for traitors and Japanese accomplices.
There is also a large-scale warehouse group in the city, which is divided into three warehouses: one is an arms warehouse, one is an equipment warehouse, and the other is a grain, food and medicine warehouse.
Shui Rou distributed part of the military uniforms, coats and quilts in the equipment warehouse to the common people, as well as part of the food. The rest was collected and supplied to the troops. From now on, no one will care about them anymore, and they must be self-reliant.
The fall of Xinxiang made the Japanese army extremely angry. In order to rescue the 11th Division, they had to reluctantly abandon Xinxiang. They lost a large amount of material reserves. This made the already stretched Japanese army even more difficult to supply.
The exchange of messages between the Japanese and Chinese troops became more frequent. Jiang Shuirou once again saw scenes in Shanghai and Nanjing that he did not want to see.
In order to preserve their strength, the various units of the national army once again ignored orders and abandoned their formations and fled. This reversed the good situation of the war again. They actually destroyed the Yellow River at Huayuankou and artificially used the Yellow River water to resist the Japanese attack. How many times did they use it?
The lives and property of tens of millions of civilians were used to resist the Japanese attack. What a masterpiece for the ages.
Jiang Shuirou was once again thankful that his troops had escaped the plot of these scum. Shuirou once again fell into deep thought, where should his troops go? Where is the way out?
The country is so big, but there is no place to live. There is no brotherly army to rely on. The Japanese army has completed its combat objectives and has to turn around to encircle and annihilate its own troops. It is time for me to leave, otherwise there will be no one to help me relieve myself.
The national army is definitely out of control. If they can't take care of themselves, how can they bother to take care of others?
Shui Rou ordered the troops to advance to the Taihang Mountains. Only Yang Ji was strong and weak in attacking the enemy. He used special warfare to deal with the Japanese counterattack. In the mountains, he was a prince. No matter how many Japanese troops came, they were just meat buns and dogs.
.The mountainous area is a paradise for your troops and a place where they need to survive.
The troops returned to Kehui County again, passed through Nancun, and retreated into the Taihang Mountains. The southern foothills of the Taihang Mountains are close to the Yellow River and have a suitable temperature and abundant water. Therefore, the trees grow well and lush, and tumbling waterfalls can be seen from time to time. In addition, the mountains are steep.
It is dangerous, has strange peaks and ravines, and is sparsely populated. It is an excellent place to station troops. The difficulty is the supply of supplies. Fortunately, a lot of food supplies have been accumulated in several battles.
At first glance, the mountains we walked through here were an excellent place for Jiang Tuan to use his troops in mountain warfare. Jiang Tuan entered Lingchuan and stopped walking. He decided to take root here. It is very convenient to enter and exit the Taihang Mountains.
Defeat the attack and retreat.
He didn't know whose territory this was, so he couldn't leave anyway. He was too tired, and the troops needed to rest. Shuirou placed the troops in Lingchuan, Liuquan, and Caozhuang in a stable triangular formation and set up camp.
Shui Rou is a restless person, and as soon as she settled down, she thought, Damn, I forgot that this is a mountainous area, how can we do it without horses? We have to find a way to get some horses.
"Snakehead, where are your people? Look at the Japanese cavalry there. Do you need to get some horses? You can't just rely on your feet in the mountains."
"Yes, boss."
"Just find the cavalry according to the scale we can fight."
