The bloody battle in Zhoucun actually started at the Holy Well in Zhangqiu County.
After receiving the order to cooperate with the Ludong Group to fight, Li Shuniu, the captain of the No. 1 Sniper Squadron, went out to Zhangqiu to annihilate the small Japanese infiltration and reconnaissance troops and slow down the Japanese attack speed. He led the No. 1 Sniper Squadron to take cars and three-wheeled motorcycles from Fangzi to rush.
When they arrived at Puji Town, Zhangqiu County, they established an advance base here, then led the troops across Zhangqiu County and ordered three teams to split up. One of the teams guarded the Jiqing Highway, the second team guarded the Jiaoji Road, and led the fire support team themselves.
Hidden in Mingshui with the third team, supporting the two teams at any time.
Li Shuiniu is one of the most senior people in the sniper brigade. He was selected by Liu Yimin when he established the sniper class in the 18th Red Regiment. After several years of training and training, this man was first heard from Liu Yimin in the channel.
The Red Army soldiers who speak sniper tactics have become professional sniper warfare commanders in our army.
According to Li Xiaoniu's idea, it is only 45 miles from Zhangqiu County to Jinan. The Japanese reconnaissance troops guarding the roads and railways at the junction of Zhangqiu and Lixia will never be able to escape. Because at this time, Zhangqiu was still a guerrilla zone, and the Third Teaching Brigade was there.
When Qinghe was developing, because it was too close to Jinan, we were focused on keeping the secret of our army's main force marching eastward to Shandong, and did not develop large-scale development towards Zhangqiu. After our army's Luzhong Campaign, although the remaining troops of the Fourth Teaching Brigade advanced their defense line to the suburbs of Jinan,
But there was no time to rectify the various guerrilla armed forces in the countryside of Zhangqiu. Therefore, after the Battle of Central Shandong, the countryside of Zhangqiu was in a state of anarchy. There were many types of armed forces, including civilian armed forces such as Meng Zhaojin's Chinese People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, as well as covert tendencies.
The local armed forces of the Japanese army. However, due to the development of the Third Jiao Brigade in Qinghe, Meng Zhaojin's Chinese People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army did not have 5,000 soldiers and 600 guns like in history. The influence was much smaller, and the scope of strength also shifted from Zouping and Qidong.
When we arrived at Zouping, our relationship with the Eighth Route Army became even closer. If the Japanese army wanted to attack eastward, Zhangqiu would be their first stop.
As for whether the No. 1 Sniper Squadron could deal with the small Japanese reconnaissance and infiltration force, Li Shui Niu didn't even think about it, because he knew that the soldiers of the sniper brigade all had four weapons: a sniper rifle with a silencer, and an August 1st sniper rifle.
Automatic rifle, a shell gun, and a dagger. This equipment is the most advanced in the world. What's more, the squadron also has a fire support team equipped with a rocket launcher, an infantry gun, two grenades, and a nine-gun
Type II heavy machine gun. This kind of firepower composition is especially suitable for special operations fire support of small units. With such equipment, sufficient ammunition, and the magical marksmanship of the snipers, the little devils are waiting to die!
The sniper team arrived at Shengjing Town next to the Jiqing Highway at night. After the combat squads were separated, squad leader Geng Qiang ordered the squad leader Yung Gengen to arrange the six combat teams in the class into two triangular formations.
They are deployed on the north and south sides of the road. On the north and rear side of their position is the position of the second squad, and on the south rear side is the position of the third squad. The whole squad is in a loose triangle formation, and each squad forms a triangle formation.
This Geng Qiang is from Jizhong, and his family is a tenant farmer. In those days, there was no way to survive for the poor. Geng Qiang’s parents worked hard all year round. Even if the family wanted to eat meat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, Geng Qiang went to herd cattle for the landlord’s house early.
Well, this landowner was pretty good. Seeing that he had a calm personality and was very smart, he often asked him to pick up the young master from school. After going back and forth, Geng Qiang also knew some words. Later, Geng Qiang's parents died due to illness and lacked money for medical treatment.
He and his sister were left to depend on each other.
One day, there was a team meeting in the village. Geng Qiang was sent by the chief to carry water for the bosses to cook. He did not go home until dark. When he arrived at the door of the yard, he heard the girl's heartbreaking cries. Geng Qiang was heartbroken.
, kicked open the courtyard door and ran towards his hut.
When I entered the room, I saw a boss was crawling on the girl's body with his lower body naked, and there was another boss standing next to him who kept shouting, "Come on, Jia Lao Er! Come on, Jia Lao Er!"
Young people are full of blood. Who can stand such an insult? Geng Qiang easily picked up the guillotine at the door and struck the two soldiers who were standing and laughing lewdly from behind. The splattered blood hit the soldier who was raging on the girl.
He was so frightened that he slipped out of the kang, knelt on the ground and kowtowed silently to beg for mercy.
Geng Qiang's eyes were blazing, and he chopped it into pieces without even looking. After he finished chopping, he remembered that there were still many soldiers living in the village, and it would be over if they found out. He quickly found some clothes and handed them to him. He couldn't cry anymore.
The girl who had lost her voice said, "Hurry up and put it on, let's run!" Then she turned around and left the house, waiting for the girl to come out dressed.
After waiting for a while, the girl didn't come out. Geng Qiang waited impatiently. When he went back to the house, he saw that the poor girl had the scissors left by her mother on her heart.
Geng Qiang wiped away his tears, dug a hole in the yard, and buried the girl. He carried the rifle and bullets left by the three soldiers on his back and left his hometown. Later he moved to Jiangxi and joined the Red Army. In the Red Army
After learning culture, he understood that there was no way for the poor to survive in this cannibalistic society, and he also developed good marksmanship. During the Long March, he served as a platoon leader in the 18th Red Regiment, and was rescued by Liu Yimin during the Battle of Gulingtou.
From then on, he followed Liu Yimin on his expeditions to the north and south.
Later, after Liu Yimin was attacked in Chengdu, he, Huang Wenhu and Li Xiaoshuai were selected as Liu Yimin's bodyguards. Liu Yimin felt that the three men's marksmanship was very good, but Geng Qiang's marksmanship was better. The disadvantage was that his close combat ability was average.
Let him go to the sniper team for training, leaving Huang Wenhu and Li Xiaoshuai as guards.
At this time, Geng Qiang was already twenty-eight years old. He was tall, had a thin face, and was usually taciturn. Only the cold light in his eyes made it clear at a glance that he was a master who would kill without mercy.
Yung Gengen is different from Geng Qiang. He is only 21 years old this year. He is a Mongolian and his family is in Jinjie Town, north of Yulin. Not only is he good at riding, he is also very good at sharp swords and guns with both hands. When Liu Yimin went to Yulin Shenfu to look for coal fields, Han Sangjie rode
The bandits looted Jinjie Town and killed his family. After the Red Army avenged him, Yung Gengen joined the Red Army. Liu Yimin took him with him as a guard for a few days, and then he discovered that the young Yung Gengen was not only a martial artist but also a martial artist.
Yes, his hand skills are also extraordinary. He can use both hands to make sharp knives and shoot with both hands, and his marksmanship is extremely accurate. Liu Yimin knows that snipers require talent. People with high talent can train with twice the result with half the effort, so he handed over Yung Gengen.
Gave it to Wang Tongsheng for training.
Due to the extremely high hit rate of snipers, a rifle can defend a relatively large area. The position of the sniper team is said to be built on both sides of the Jiqing Highway, forming a triangular position with a large triangle within a small triangle, but the distance spreads far from front to back, left and right.
Far enough to block the Jinji-Qinghai Highway and a few miles away on both sides. Within this range, under the muzzle of snipers, let alone little devils, even a bird wants to fly over.
Ask the snipers if they will agree.
The sniper team's operations are different from those of field troops. All orders and communication are conducted through sign language, and the movements are extremely fast. Following the requirements of the special operations textbook written by Liu Yimin, Geng Qiang led the soldiers to fight all night, building a group of hidden positions every five miles.
, a total of three position groups were constructed, and the positions were connected and communicated with each other through road trenches, preparing for layers of fortifications and sniper attacks to prevent being bitten by Japanese artillery fire.
After the position was constructed, Geng Qiang reported to Li Shui Niu through the team radio that the combat preparations were completed, and then asked the soldiers to eat dry food, prepare enough water, enter the position, and rest while waiting for the Japanese.
Waiting until June 19th, when the sky was just twilight, a small Japanese reconnaissance and infiltration force appeared in the field of vision of the sniper team.
The little devils were indeed well-trained. Twelve people were placed in a line formation. The two in front were vanguards, the two in the back were machine gunners and rearguards, and the eight infantrymen in the middle were spaced about ten meters apart along the Jiqing Highway.
Carefully search the field path on the south side.
Geng Qiang, who was hiding in the individual soldier's bunker, took a look, and there was a smile in his eyes. Sure enough, as the Japanese got closer and closer, the third squadron on the south side of the first squad opened fire. Although no gunfire was heard,
Judging from the frequency of Japs falling down, Geng Qiang knew that two combat groups were firing, four people, four sniper rifles with silencers, each shot four times, cleanly.
After the Japanese reconnaissance team was dead, it stopped for about 10 minutes. The follow-up reconnaissance and search troops of the Japanese came up. This time there were three teams. From the strength of the troops, they were an infantry team. They were divided into three teams. One team was along the Jiqing Highway.
Moving forward, the other two teams on the left and right flanks were also in a regular search formation, and they still searched carefully.
This time, the sniper team did not fire and let the Japanese move toward the triangle formation.
Yungengen's position is to dig a pit in the ground, put branches on top, and spread wheat straw on the branches. From a distance, it looks like a pile of wheat straw abandoned by farmers after the wheat harvest.
Seeing the Japs search team walking into his position, Yung Gengen put down his telescope, stretched out the barrel of the gun, loaded the gun, looked through the sight, and fired at the Japs squad leader.
After only firing one shot, Yung Gengen stopped shooting, because he knew that there was no chance to fire a second shot. When a team of Japanese soldiers met a team of his own, one shot per person was enough. Soldiers
If your hands and feet are nimble enough, the little devil won't stand a chance.
What happened was exactly as Yun Gengen thought. There were more than fifty people in a Japanese team, twelve of whom had died just now. The remaining forty-odd people, in a very short period of time, rushed to the ground. The ground fell to the ground in an instant.
Return to tranquility.
About an hour later, the Japanese cavalry search squadron came up. Geng Qiang patiently counted them, no more, no less, a total of 144 cavalry.
The Japanese did not notice the destruction of their infantry reconnaissance and search infantry squad. Feeling that the front was safe, they formed a cavalry battle formation and trotted forward in a swaggering manner.
Geng Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up. He had resisted firing just now because he didn't want to compete with the soldiers for the opportunity to test the newly issued sniper rifle, the Japs. It was different now, this was the Japs cavalry.
If they rush into the position accidentally, it will be very troublesome!
The sniper rifle used by Geng Qiang was a German-made Mauser K98 rifle with a six-fold scope that Liu Yimin obtained from Tada Lingfu, the French Charge d'Affaires in Qingdao. This gun has a long range and high accuracy, making it a sharp sniper weapon.
Equipped with 1000 rounds of ammunition.
Geng Qiang stretched out his gun and aimed at the flag guard of the Japanese cavalry search squadron. Looking through the scope, this guy was quite young, with a rebellious expression on his face.
Geng Qiang aimed at the forehead of the flag guard of the Japanese cavalry search squadron, and gently pulled the trigger. The bullet flew out in a spinning direction and penetrated into the forehead of the Japanese flag guard. The little Japanese didn't even shout, but raised his hand.
The military flag in the middle of the week fell to the ground, and the man fell off his horse.
The little Japs behind didn't hear the gunshots and thought the flag guard accidentally fell to the ground. Several little Japs came up with their horses and stretched out their hands to pull the flag guard lying on the ground. At this time, Geng Qiang took aim at the team again.
The Japanese cavalry squadron leader in the middle had no choice but to have a sight, so he could see more clearly. The Japanese squadron leader's epaulettes and snow-white gloves betrayed him, making him Geng Qiang's second victory.
At this time, a small group of soldiers from the sniper squad opened fire, hitting the little Japs like dumplings, and they fell to the ground.
This time, Geng Qiang was lucky. He fired five shots and killed five Japanese, including the cavalry squadron leader and the flag guard. After finishing the shooting, he reloaded his bullet and was about to find the target and fire two more shots.
The Japanese were all dead. The more than twenty cavalrymen at the end seemed to have noticed something was wrong, turned their horses' heads, and drove away.
Geng Qiang knew that he had to retreat. Next, the Japanese would use tanks and armored vehicles. They did not have rocket launchers, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns. There was nothing they could do against these tough guys. If he retreated too late, his hidden position would be occupied by the Japanese.
Covered by artillery fire. So Geng Qiang ordered the soldiers to quickly clean the battlefield, collect the guns and bullets, load them on the captured Japanese war horses, and quickly retreat.
After the Japanese cavalry ran back, they were a little crazy. They all exclaimed "Ghost! Ghost!"
The captain of the cavalry regiment of the Fifth Division saw that the retreating cavalry were in a slightly lunatic posture. He went up and slapped the more than 20 cavalry until their faces were bleeding, and then asked why they were retreating.
The Japanese cavalrymen were already awake after being beaten, and a bow-legged cavalry sergeant quickly reported that there was a devil ahead, who ate meat but did not spit out bones. No one could be seen, and no gunshots could be heard, but the soldiers were all knocked off their horses one by one. The captain of the regiment
If you don't believe it, you can go check it out on the spot.
As soon as he said this, the captain of the cavalry regiment of the fifth division became angry. He cursed "Baga" and slapped him again. After the beating, he reported to the commander of the fifth division, Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi, that the division
The No. 1 Squadron of the Cavalry Regiment suffered heavy losses. According to the reports of the recovered soldiers, the Eighth Route Army did not fire their guns and no one was seen. The soldiers were quickly killed. Please give urgent tactical guidance to the division commander and dispatch tanks and armored vehicles as the main force.
