Wang Yigong, commander of the first company of the reserve battalion, was hiding here with his soldiers. Since the New Second Regiment had too many men, the north and south gates were all captured by Jing Dagang's first battalion. Wang Yigong had no choice but to lead his soldiers to break through the earthen wall on the west side.
"Brothers, whether we can eat meat today depends entirely on us. If our legs and feet are slow, we can't blame others." Wang Yigong said in a low voice.
"Company commander, just look at it, it's just a bunch of puppet troops, deal with them with a fistful of hands." A soldier said in a low voice.
"It's because they are too weak that they have to take advantage of it. The whole battalion is full of masters who are willing to fight with their lives. There are not many puppet soldiers in the town. Two people can't share one puppet soldier. The puppet soldiers have such virtues."
, the troops in the front can eat meat, and the troops in the back probably don’t even need to fire their guns, and the battle is over." Wang Yigong analyzed.
"First platoon leader, you go and lead two people to place an explosive pack on the wall. The regimental leader gives the order and blow it up for me. Then the whole company rushes to the center of the town for me. What you need to fight against the puppet troops is momentum.
, a wave of attacks will directly overwhelm them."
"yes"
Zhou Weihan did not personally participate in the battle, but led the guard company and independent brigade on a small high ground in the rear.
"Commander, all companies are in place and ready to launch an attack." Dong Jiang came over to report.
For the sake of fairness, at the request of each company commander, each company must be in place before it can launch an attack.
"Dong Jiang, use signal flares and launch an attack," Zhou Weihan ordered.
"Whoosh" a flare flashed in the air.
Each company launched an attack at the same time. At the north and south city gates where the first battalion was located, mortars took the lead in destroying the puppet fortifications. Then the soldiers launched a charge. The soldiers in front did not fire their guns and occupied the city gates.
Wang Yigong's side was even more straightforward. The only thing blocking Yilian was an earthen wall.
After the battle began, a platoon leader detonated explosive charges and opened a gap of seven to eight meters.
A company of soldiers swarmed in and, led by Wang Yigong, went straight to the puppet army station in the center of the town.
"Quick, rush me."
Gunshots came from all directions, and soon the entire town of Hengling was surrounded.
A company of four machine gunners rushed forward and fired at the patrolling puppet troops when they encountered them.
Guo Wenzhi was not at the station at this time. As the leader, he had a separate house in the town.
When the battalion commander heard the gunfire, he quickly put on his clothes and ran out with a gun.
"Quick, gather together, there are enemies."
There were shouts of killing everywhere, and less than two companies of puppet troops were gathered in a hurry.
"Why are there just these few people? Where are the others?" the puppet battalion commander shouted loudly.
"Report to the battalion commander, some people heard gunfire and ran over the wall!" said a puppet soldier.
"Run? There are enemies everywhere in the town. Wherever you can go, build fortifications quickly and fight back on the spot." This battalion commander was Guo Wenzhi's confidant in the 386th Regiment. He was still somewhat courageous and did not mess up his hands and feet.
"The new Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is here, surrender your guns and do not kill." The cry of killing came from not far away.
"Battalion Commander, listen, this is the new second regiment that went head-to-head with the Japs in Taohua Mountain. How can we defeat them?" said a puppet soldier.
A quick look at the team that had just gathered revealed that another group of people were missing.
The puppet battalion commander gritted his teeth and said: "Brothers, the regiment commander treats us well. Rush out and join the regiment commander, otherwise we will have to let the Eighth Route Army make dumplings." After saying that, he led the people and rushed out of the station.
Just as Wang Yigong's battery was coming face to face, the four machine gunners at the head of the battery immediately pulled the triggers of their machine guns and opened up their firepower.
The puppet battalion commander who was running in front was shot first and fell to the ground. The puppet soldiers behind saw this and retreated.
The walls surrounding the "Hangbo" station were blown down. The puppet troops who had fled from the station after seeing a bad opportunity were forced back by the soldiers of the New Second Regiment.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the puppet troops trapped in the garrison dropped their weapons one after another and shouted: "Commander of the Eighth Route Army, we are willing to surrender, don't shoot."
The second and fourth companies of the reserve battalion broke through from the rear, and the three companies of the new second regiment disarmed the puppet troops in the camp.
"Old Wang, you are very agile in this company. Our fourth company did not stop for a moment, but your people still took the lead." Han Zhiqian, commander of the fourth company, said.
"Hehe, your Fourth Company is not slow at all."
"How many people are there in the town? Who is the most powerful?" Wang Yigong turned to the captured puppet soldiers and said.
"Sir, there are two battalions in the town. Our first battalion is in the center of the town. The battalion commander was just killed by your machine gunner at the door. The second battalion is in the east of the town. The leader Guo Wenzhi lives in a house in the town.
Here." A puppet soldier rushed to say.
"Sir, we were originally from the 386th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. Guo Wenzhi took us to join the Japs. We are willing to do whatever it takes." Another puppet soldier said.
"Damn it, the reputation of the Jinsui Army has been ruined by you." When the fourth company commander Han Zhiqian heard this, he immediately became angry. It turned out that he was from the Jinsui Army. Later, he was captured by the Japs on the battlefield and was killed by Zhou Weihan.
The Eighth Route Army joined after the New Second Regiment was rescued.
"Let's go, you take us to Guo Wenzhi's residence." Wang Yigong didn't hesitate and took more than a dozen people straight to Guo Wenzhi's house in the town.
As soon as they arrived at Guo Wenzhi's house, people from the Third Company of the Reserve Battalion came out. Guo Wenzhi was shot in the abdomen and was carried by the soldiers. Li Si and Adjutant Yu were suppressed by the soldiers.
Fourth Company Commander Yang Xiansheng looked at Wang Yigong who was running over and said: "Captain Wang, I'm sorry, we caught this big fish in three consecutive runs, so your trip was in vain."
Yang Xiansheng is also a shrewd master. He knows that there are more wolves than meat, so he goes straight to the point when he comes up.
As soon as they entered the town, the soldiers captured everyone alive and went straight to Guo Wenzhi's residence, blocking Guo Wenzhi who was trying to escape. After a firefight, all the people inside were captured.
From the start of the battle to the end, in less than half an hour, the gunfire in Hengling Town basically disappeared.
When Zhou Weihan arrived at the puppet army's station, a large number of puppet prisoners were gathered together, and the soldiers were unloading supplies from the warehouse.
"Captain, this battle was fought. The puppet troops surrendered before a few shots were fired. There are only two battalions of puppet troops in the town. More than 500 people are alive here. We are currently screening prisoners." Jing Dagang
Reporting.
This group of puppet troops was just formed by the little devils. The weapons in their hands were not warmed up before they were disarmed by the New Second Regiment and became a proper transportation brigade.
"Captain, the leader of the puppet army, Guo Wenzhi, was captured by our fourth company." Yang Xiansheng saw Zhou Weihan coming and quickly asked the soldiers to carry Guo Wenzhi up.
Guo Wenzhi, who was lying on a stretcher, turned his head away and said nothing when he saw Zhou Weihan, an old acquaintance.
Zhou Weihan waved his hand and said: "Carry it down and give him a good time."
Zhou Weihan had never regarded someone like Guo Wenzhi as an opponent. Hengxi Town was also unlucky for him this time, and happened to be on the marching route of the New Second Regiment.
From the commander of the Jinsui Army to the Jaap who surrendered to the enemy, Guo Wenzhi ended his life with the sound of a gunshot. His merits and demerits will be commented by future generations.
After hearing this, Li Si broke away from the shackles of the soldiers, covered his face and sobbed softly.
"Si'er, is that you, Si'er?" Thief Jiu finally saw the woman next to Guo Wenzhi and ran over in a few steps.
Li Si looked at Thief Jiu in front of him, and thinking of what happened during this period, he finally couldn't help it anymore, and cried loudly while holding Thief Jiu in his arms.
