Tsim Shan Tsui is about 10 kilometers away from the county seat.
It is only 6 kilometers away from the Nanzhuang Village base.
The Japanese also built some gun towers and bunkers outside the city wall.
This is also one of the reasons why the county town is difficult to conquer. In addition to the strong walls of the county town itself, the fortifications such as bunkers and gun towers outside the city also need to be removed one by one.
Five minutes after the Sharp Sword detachment left, the temporary cavalry battalion also set off under the leadership of Sun Desheng.
Although it is only 10 kilometers away from the county seat, it will take at least an hour for the infantry to march to the county seat.
The cavalry can dismount and attack the Japanese outside the city, reducing the pressure on the Sword Special Forces.
Immediately afterwards, the third battalion commander Chen Dugu left a platoon to clean the battlefield and led the rest of the soldiers to march towards the county seat.
Lu Yingjun led more than 60 "Japanese" cavalry and ran all the way, arriving at the stronghold of Nanzhuang Village in less than 10 minutes.
Outside the Nanzhuang Village stronghold, there were many Japanese and puppet troops busy fighting there.
After the first squadron of the Kuroshima Regiment Cavalry was eaten, Kuroshima Morita led the main force out of the city to pursue the Eighth Route Cavalry. Some Japanese military police and puppet troops in the city went out to clean up the battlefield.
The scattered horses and soldiers were all driven to the horse farm outside the city. Some of the Japanese and puppet soldiers were collecting the corpses of the Japanese, while others were wielding knives to chop the horse flesh.
When I saw the Japanese cavalry rumbling in, the Japs and puppet troops were still there waving to them.
However, the cavalrymen only glanced at the Japanese and puppet troops, and then galloped towards the county seat without stopping for a moment.
After passing through the stronghold of Nanzhuang Village, the Japanese checkpoints did not dare to stop us.
In this way, the Eighth Route Cavalry No. 60 arrived at the south gate of the county seat without any hindrance.
At the south gate, in addition to the two bunkers outside the city gate, more than a dozen Japanese military police and puppet troops were checking people entering and leaving the county. Two light machine guns were mounted behind the two sandbag positions.
Seeing the "Japanese cavalry" coming from a distance, the Japanese and puppet troops quickly moved away the roadblock, then stood up straight and raised their hands in salute.
The Eighth Route Cavalry No. 60 entered the county seat from the south gate like a gust of wind.
As soon as they entered the county town, they all reined in their horses, dismounted, and took out submachine guns and magazines from their sacks.
Lu Yingjun made a gesture to everyone, and Wei Dayong led ten soldiers to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops at the city gate.
Afterwards, Lu Yingjun led the others and rushed towards the tower with submachine guns.
There were only about 40 Japanese and puppet troops on the south wall. Although the light and heavy machine guns had strong firepower, they were all aimed at the outside of the wall.
It wasn't until the Eighth Route Army walked up the stone stairs on both sides to the city wall that the Japanese and puppet soldiers realized what they were doing. However, when they saw the Japanese cavalry uniforms, they were all stunned.
A Japanese soldier wearing the rank of second lieutenant looked puzzled and asked in Japanese: "What do you do?"
What greeted him was a hail of bullets, and the Japanese second lieutenant was beaten into a bloody sieve in an instant.
The Japanese and puppet troops reacted at this moment, but it was already too late. On the narrow city wall, the Eighth Route Army had almost every man with a submachine gun and its firepower was invincible.
Moreover, it was a two-sided attack, and the Japanese and puppet soldiers had no chance to escape.
The battle was over in less than two minutes. None of the Japanese or puppet troops on the city wall escaped the net, and all eight light and heavy machine guns placed on the city wall were captured.
At the same time as the gunfire rang out, Wei Dayong led ten team members to suddenly rush out of the city gate behind the Japanese and puppet soldiers. He held a submachine gun and beat the Japanese and puppet soldiers into a sieve.
There was no suspense in the battle. Lu Yingjun led the Sword Special Forces and Commando No. 30 to capture the city wall in less than two minutes.
The next step is to hold the city wall and wait for the main attack.
At the same time, Captain Nobutada Takeda who was at the Military Police Headquarters also heard gunshots.
The gun bodies were very dense and close, as if they were in the south of the city.
Takeda Nobutada immediately grabbed the phone, quickly shook the handle, and then put the phone to his ear: "Moxi Moxi, pick up the South City Wall for me."
The call was connected, but there was a blind tone and no one answered.
This made Takeda Shinaka immediately realize that something was wrong, something might have happened!
After calling the phone twice more, it wasn't until the gunfire stopped that the other end of the phone was connected. Takeda Nobutada quickly asked: "Tanaka-kun, what happened at the South City Wall?"
South city wall.
After killing the Japs on the city wall, the phone kept ringing. Duan Peng picked it up and put it to his ear.
There was a jabbering voice on the phone, obviously in Japanese, but he couldn't understand it.
Duan Peng asked in Japanese-Chinese: "This is the South City Wall, where are you?"
A Japanese-Chinese voice came from the phone: "What are you doing? Where is Mr. Tanaka? Hurry up and get him to answer the phone!"
Duan Peng's lips curled up slightly: "Sir, Captain Tian has just died for the empire!"
"Nani, Tanaka-kun died in the battle?" the Japanese voice on the phone asked with suppressed fear, "What's going on at the south city wall? How many militants were there who attacked the city wall?"
"The city wall has fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army!" Duan Peng said, "Please give us your support quickly!"
After finishing speaking, Duan Peng hung up the phone, took out a knife and cut off the phone line.
On the other end, Takeda Nobutada was still calling: "Moxi Moxi? Hello???"
"Baga!" He called several times in a row and received no response. Takeda Nobutada hung up the phone angrily.
He did not quite believe that the southern city wall had been occupied by the Eighth Route Army.
It was broad daylight. How could the Eighth Route Army pass through the strongholds, gun towers and bunkers and reach the southern city wall?
However, it is also true that there were intensive gunshots from the direction of the South City Wall and that unknown elements answered the phone at the South City Wall.
"Kempeitai and Imperial Army squadrons must assemble immediately!" Takeda Nobutada shouted outside.
The urgent assembly whistle immediately sounded in the gendarmerie.
…
It had only been a quarter of an hour since Sun Desheng led the temporary cavalry battalion to leave Tsim Shan Tsui.
Li Yunlong then led the artillery company on horseback to Tsim Shan Tsui.
After gathering the more than 200 military horses in Yelangyu, Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang to lead some soldiers to stay and wait for the division transport team.
He himself led an artillery company and machine gunners with more than 40 light machines to attack the county town.
Seeing the soldiers cleaning the battlefield, Li Yunlong ordered to stop advancing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He rode his horse to the front, turned over and dismounted, and asked the soldiers of the third battalion: "Where is your battalion commander?"
"Report to the captain!" the soldier said with a military salute, "Our battalion commander led the others towards the county seat."
Li Yunlong asked again: "There are no Japanese cavalry who have escaped, right?"
"No!"
When Li Yunlong heard this, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Finally, the Black Island Cavalry Regiment was wiped out.
The platoon commander of the 8th Company of the 3rd Battalion ran up to Li Yunlong, gave a military salute, and then handed over a command sword: "Report to the commander, this is Kuroshima Morita's command sword!"
Li Yunlong took it and saw that it was indeed a Sakan sword. As for whether it was Kuroshima Morita's command sword, it was difficult to judge.
"Where is Kuroshima Morita's body?" Li Yunlong asked.
"On the other side of the mountain." A long line said.
"Take me to see." Li Yunlong got on his horse and walked forward with the artillery battery and machine gun battery behind him.
As soon as he turned the corner, Li Yunlong saw the corpses of the Japanese gathered on the side of the road, and he couldn't help but take a breath.
Most of the corpses of the Japanese were beaten into pieces, and even a good piece of meat was hard to find.
Although he was prepared in his heart, Li Yunlong was still frightened by the power of the 20mm machine gun when he saw this scene.
Even the wounded horse that was shot was bigger than a bowl.
Although the veterans were surprised, they still looked calm. However, many recruits had never seen such a scene before and couldn't help but vomited on the spot.
The platoon leader pointed at the two pieces of meat that had been pieced together and said, "Commander, one is the colonel and the other is the lieutenant."
Only the legs and head were left of these two lumps of meat, and the body in the middle only had some internal organs, and the rest could no longer be found intact.
Li Yunlong turned over and dismounted, stepped forward, used the scabbard of his command sword to lift up two pieces of fleshy clothes, and looked at the ranks of Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel stained red with blood.
"Throw all the corpses and minced meat of these Japanese soldiers to the bottom of the cliff, and keep the horse meat for me." Li Yunlong got on his horse and said to a platoon leader.
"Yes!" A row of long bodies straightened up.
"Set off!"
The artillery company and the machine gun company, led by Li Yunlong, headed towards the county seat.
at the same time.
Outside the Nanzhuang Village stronghold, where the Eighth Route Cavalry and the Japanese cavalry fought, a one-sided massacre was taking place.
Those who were massacred were the Japanese and puppet infantry who were cleaning the battlefield, and those who were massacred were naturally the Eighth Route Cavalry.
Sun Desheng led a temporary cavalry battalion to prepare to attack the Nanzhuang Village stronghold, and happened to see the Japanese and puppet troops cleaning the battlefield there.
Without saying a word, he ordered to rush towards the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops never expected that the Eighth Route Cavalry would kill them with carbine.
Seeing the Eight Route Cavalry coming, they all ran away.
The Eighth Route Army Cavalry, numbering close to 300, swept toward the Japanese and puppet troops like a gray torrent. It didn't take long for them to catch up with the Japanese and puppet troops, and then there was a one-sided massacre.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Desheng ordered all the cavalry to dismount and set up two mortars to attack the Nanzhuang Village stronghold to put pressure on them.
…
On the south wall of the county seat.
Wang Gensheng and several team members threw more than 20 grenades at the two bunkers under the city wall.
There are single grenades, and there are also cluster grenades with several large knobs tied together.
Without exception, they failed to blow up the two bunkers outside and below the city wall.
"Captain!" Wang Gensheng shouted to Lu Yingjun, "Our grenades were bounced off the bunker and could not hit the Japanese inside the bunker."
Lu Yingjun leaned out of the crenellations of the city wall and looked down at the bunker. There were many large craters around the bunker, but the bunker was still intact.
But the Japanese and puppet troops in the two bunkers were unable to attack the city wall.
Lu Yingjun thought for a while: "Then don't waste the grenades. There are a few barrels of gasoline in the turret over there. Bring it over and pour it on the bunker from above, and use fire to burn out the Japanese and puppet troops!"
There are also gun towers on the city wall, and the top of the gun towers is the sentry tower.
Dealing with Japanese bunkers is Lu Yingjun's specialty.
"Yes!" Wang Gensheng straightened up and quickly called a few soldiers to move the gasoline together.
"Captain, the Japanese and puppet troops are coming!" Wei Dayong's voice sounded again from behind Lu Yingjun.
Lu Yingjun quickly turned around, walked quickly to the crenellation, and looked down. A large number of Japanese and puppet soldiers were coming towards the city wall along the street.
