More than 3,000 soldiers armed with steel guns swarmed toward the Japanese position like a tide, intent on capturing the commander of the Little Japanese Division alive.
With the heavy weapons out of action, the little devils were beaten back and forth.
Even the heavy troops and artillery can see the training quality of the little devils. At the beginning, these little devils could barely maintain the retreat formation.
However, the soldiers who came under siege were all jealous, and from time to time they would bite the little Japanese formation, and if there was a single little Japanese, they would immediately stab them with several bayonets.
At this time, three commandos of more than 40 people from a regiment penetrated into the village where the Japanese army was located from three directions. The commandos were all equipped with submachine guns and short rifles.
The lone Japanese troops encountered along the way were wiped out before they had time to react. If they encountered larger Japanese troops, they would take a detour to avoid them.
A commando soldier carefully climbed to the roof, looked around with a telescope, and then pointed in a direction in the village: "The company commander has found the little devil's artillery. It's right in front of us. It looks like the threshing ground in the village!"
"
"Where is the Little Japanese Division Headquarters? Can you find it?" The person who spoke was Zhang Fucai, commander of the third company of the 1st Battalion.
"Now that the little devils are all retreating to the center of the village, the division headquarters should be in the center of the village!" the soldier observing from the rooftop speculated.
"Great, our luck is really good. This time we are in the lead. It's our turn to make contributions. Hurry, lead the way. Don't let the little devil blow up the mountain cannon. The little devil's division commander can't run away, so leave it to others.
Let's go!" Zhang Fucai's face was filled with joy, and he impatiently urged the soldiers to step forward and lead the way.
This commando team belongs to a regiment and a battalion, and was personally selected by Xin Tiebing, the commander of the first battalion. If he, the chief of staff, had not led the team and commanded it, Xin Tiebing would have personally led the team and was responsible for the insertion.
Before arriving, Xin Tiebing personally promised the soldiers of the commando team that as long as they could capture the commander of the Xiaojiazi division alive or capture the Xiaojiazi mountain cannon, the regiment headquarters would report it to the military region and ask for credit for the commando team.
A commando team of more than 40 people quickly approached the location of the Japanese artillery. Before they could reach the threshing floor, they heard a burst of gunfire from inside.
"It's over. Others have beaten me to it. Come on!" Zhang Fucai took the lead and climbed over the low earth wall of the threshing floor.
Although Japan is an industrialized country, it is not as wealthy as the old United States. Within the Japanese army, artillery is an extremely important strategic weapon, and each Japanese army regiment has a number of artillery pieces.
During the battle, it was punishable to lose artillery. This is why Teruchi Yong listed all kinds of weapons and ammunition in the transaction list, but still has not traded artillery with Zhou Weihan.
Therefore, when the battle situation is unfavorable, the first thing the Japs destroy is the artillery.
However, these twelve mountain cannons were not a small number. They were a whole mountain artillery brigade. Even though Tian Daoshengwu was the division commander, he did not dare to issue orders to destroy them easily. He might still have a little luck in his heart.
However, the Eighth Route Army quickly broke through into the village and completely destroyed Tian Daoshengwu's chance. As a result, the commando team came in before the order was issued.
After Zhang Fucai climbed over the low earth wall, he saw soldiers climbing over the short earth wall on the opposite side one after another. Several commando soldiers who came in first from the opposite side had already fought with the Japs.
Looking back, he saw that the commando soldiers he led had also climbed over the low earth wall.
He immediately ordered: "Come on, the mountain cannon belongs to us, don't let them take it away!"
There are only a hundred or so Japanese artillerymen guarding the mountain artillery in the threshing floor. The Japanese artillerymen who were previously transferred to guard the village entrance were equipped with spare weapons or weapons for wounded soldiers. Now, except for a few sergeants and officers, these little devils in the threshing floor
Besides, everyone has a bayonet in their hand.
Facing the little Japs with bayonets, the commando soldiers would not show mercy. The two commando soldiers quickly approached from both sides and pulled the triggers while running.
A young Japanese officer with the rank of second lieutenant took out a grenade, screamed strangely and rushed towards the commando soldiers, and was immediately beaten to a pulp.
"Da da da!" The submachine gun in Zhang Fucai's hand knocked down a kid who was trying to get close to the mountain cannon with a short burst of fire.
The purpose of the commando team was very obvious. All the little Japs who were not afraid of death were killed. The remaining Japs also came to their senses and moved away from the position of the mountain cannon.
After successfully driving around thirty Japanese artillerymen to one place, the two commandos also joined together.
"Li Dafu, your Ninth Company moved through very quickly!" Zhang Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were soldiers from the Third Battalion, and said hello with a smile.
"Hey, our Ninth Company has the advantage of position, you guys are not slow at all!" Li Dafu responded.
The two company commanders were polite, but none of the soldiers below showed any concern for the situation, and they were scrambling to pull the mountain cannon into their own ranks.
Not to mention, seven or eight soldiers pulled a mountain cannon of about one ton, trying to separate an obvious boundary.
"Okay, don't bother, Li Dafu. If you do this, I won't let you go in vain. How about halving the twelve mountain cannons?" Zhang Fucai said in a pretentious manner.
"Oh, you know how to share. Damn it, we arrived first, why should we share it with you?" Li Dafu cursed.
They are all men with their heads stuck in their waistbands. Who is not angry? Li Dafu has already had an opinion about Yiying.
One of Jing Dagang's regiments is an independent detachment of the Sharp Knife Regiment, and each battalion is another regiment of the Sharp Knife Battalion. This can be seen from the fact that Xin Tiebing is the battalion commander and chief of staff.
As a result, there is naturally a gap in the allocation of resources in various aspects, which is one of the reasons why Zhou Weihan wants to reorganize the various regiments.
"Hey, you kid, don't be stupid. Let me tell you, how many more of these mountain cannons do your third battalion want to make trouble with? They will all be handed over to the military region after the war. If you keep talking nonsense, the commander of the little Japanese division will let you go in a while.
The other companies have been robbed, and I guess the new regiment of comrades will arrive soon. By then..."
Zhang Fucai's words made Li Dafu change his mind, and Li Dafu said: "Then half of the family, one squad leader, and a few people will stay to watch the mountain cannon!"
Zhang Fucai laughed and then designated a few people to stay.
"Company commander, what should we do with these little devils?" asked a soldier from the Ninth Company.
"What else can we do? Why are we being polite to the little devils? The old rules are all over the place!" Li Dafu said as he raised his submachine gun and pointed it at the thirty or so little devils.
The little devils squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. When they saw the gun pointed at them, they screamed and screamed, as if begging for mercy.
Seeing this, Zhang Fu hurriedly stepped forward to grab Li Dafu and said with a smile: "Dafu, my brother Dafu, aren't you violating discipline? You will be punished when the time comes. If you don't deserve it, leave it to me."
The commander of the Little Devil Division is still waiting for you!"
Li Dafu glanced at Zhang Fucai suspiciously and thought to himself, where did this guy sing from?
However, I kept thinking about the leader of the Little Japanese Division, so I waved my hand and led his men to withdraw.
Seeing that the men of the Ninth Company had withdrawn, the soldiers of the First Company suddenly became anxious.
"Company Commander, let's hurry up, don't..."
"Why are you so anxious? No one from the second battalion came. They must have gone directly to the headquarters of the Little Devil Division. With an attacking force of more than 3,000 people, it will be too late if we attack at this time!"
"But we are not at a loss. We have taken good care of these little Japanese artillerymen. The regiment commander may be able to exchange a Type 92 infantry cannon with the artillery battalion!" Zhang Fucai said with a smile.
