Liu Qibin looked at the Japanese cars and rubber-tyred carts on the Daguozhuang Highway, spat, and said in a low voice, unwilling to accept it: "My county brigade No. 500 only has 50 38-guns deployed by the army."
, most of the soldiers were armed with old confiscated guns that had no rifling. Once fired, the bullets would not know where to fly!"
Zhang Renchu knew that the distance between the Shandong Southwest Garrison Brigade and the Taiyi Central Base was too far, and that it was separated from the Japanese invasion line. It was very difficult for the logistics headquarters' weapons and ammunition to be transported to Shandong Southwest. In addition, in the past six months, Shandong Southwest
The local armed forces in the region are developing too fast, and there is a huge shortage of weapons. When the leaders of the local armed forces see the main force, their biggest wish is to provide them with weapons and ammunition.
Zhang Renchu was still staring at the Japanese baggage convoy on the road without turning his head, as if he was afraid that the Japanese convoy would fly away if he turned around.
Seeing that Zhang Renchu didn't answer, Liu Qibin muttered: "What a great opportunity. The Japs' ammunition is right in front of them. Even if they can get 50 rifles, the Caoxian County Brigade can change the equipment of five squads."
When you encounter a Japs, if you fire a hundred 38-guns at the same time, you can defeat seven or eight Japs, right? You no longer have to be like now, when the Japs come, you have to abandon the city and flee, making the common people look down on you.
"
Zhang Renchu said in a low voice: "If a 38-meter cap with a hundred rounds of bullets is placed in the hands of Master Liu, it will be the life of 100 little devils. If it is put in my hands, I can kill two or thirty of them at least."
Japs. When your county brigade arrives and a hundred rifles open fire at the same time, they can only kill seven or eight Japs. Maybe not a single one of them can be killed."
When Liu Qibin heard this, he almost jumped up and quarreled with Zhang Renchu. Fortunately, this was not the time for a quarrel. Liu Qibin whispered bitterly, "You look down on the local armed forces." He turned around and was about to get up and lead his team to lay landmines.
Zhang Renchu stopped him and said in a low voice: "Don't be nagging! I have made the decision. All the captured Japanese rifles and light machine guns will be distributed to the Caoxian County Brigade. After you and your comrades have laid the mines, come back and carry the loot. Be quick.
The little devils will definitely come for reinforcements, I have to stop them!"
When Liu Qibin heard this, his eyes that were a little disappointed suddenly lit up. He promised to complete the task, turned around and went to call the county brigade to plant the mines in the dark.
Zhang Renchu called Mo Wenhua and several battalion commanders and instructors to his side. He took a wooden stick in his hand, drew on the ground and said, "Can you all see clearly? To the east of the highway is Daguozhuang, which was just attacked by a little devil.
The fire was burned, but the fire has not been extinguished yet. To the south of Daguozhuang is Huzhuang, and to the north is Liuzhuang.
The Japanese army's baggage convoy was parked on the road outside Guozhuang Village. I counted clearly. There were ten cars in total and fifty-six rubber-tyred carts. The carts should be part of the supplies of the 228th Regiment of the Little Japanese Army.
, bullets, artillery shells, small supplies for the Japanese army to capture Dingtao County tomorrow.
There are plenty of melon grenades. There must be all kinds of medicines we urgently need. There are more than 300 Japs escorting the truck. They should be a baggage squadron and an infantry squadron. The Japs are very alert, and there are patrols on the road.
There is a sentry post of five soldiers every 1,000 meters. They are in charge of police.
The Japs guarding the transport convoy established a simple position around the convoy. The soldiers were sleeping in the trenches with their guns in their hands. As soon as there was any disturbance, the Japs would immediately jump into battle. The Japs set fire to Daguozhuang, and the village was no longer alive.
There will be a garrison, and the Japanese have just established a warning position at the entrance of the village."
After introducing the enemy situation, Zhang Renchu began the deployment: "The reconnaissance platoon is responsible for touching down the Japanese sentry posts on the road between Daguozhuang north and Liuzhuang; the guard platoon is responsible for touching down the Japanese sentry posts between Daguozhuang south and Huzhuang. Fire support
The battalion established a position in front of Daguozhuang and concentrated its firepower to beat up the Japanese escort troops. The first battalion launched an attack from the north, and the movements had to be swift and violent. The first battalion and company first entered Daguozhuang and eliminated it.
The Japs on the security position at the head of the village made an assault on the highway from Daguozhuang; the second battalion launched an attack from the south of Daguozhuang. The third battalion, the supplementary battalion and the fire support battalion, were deployed on the front, and once the heavy firepower stopped, they followed Laozi.
Launch an attack from the front. Then, the political commissar commanded the third battalion to lead two rocket launcher groups to the south to join the guard platoon, destroy the Japanese patrol coming from Caoxian County, and then guard southward, preparing to block the attack from Caoxian County.
Japanese reinforcements. Remember to use those anti-tank mines. I led the first battalion, second battalion, supplementary battalion, and fire support battalion to advance to Liuzhuang, set up an ambush circle, and caught the reinforcements of the 228th Regiment in the north by surprise.
The supply company is responsible for cleaning the battlefield and directing the Caoxian County Brigade to transfer the seized materials. All captured rifles are allocated to the Caoxian County Brigade for use, with one hundred rounds of ammunition and four small melon grenades per person.
, and give them three machine guns. The remaining bullets, grenades, and artillery shells will directly supplement our regiment. The excess will be taken away by the county brigade. The whole regiment uses the sound of my gun as a signal. If I don’t shoot, no one is allowed to shoot.
After the gun and fire attack, blow the charge horn. As soon as the charge horn sounds, the heavy firepower stops shelling and shooting. The whole regiment takes a moment, everyone mounts their bayonets, and everyone rushes forward for me. The battle will be resolved in five minutes. Do you hear me clearly?"
The cadres responded in unison: "Listen clearly!"
Zhang Renchu waved his hand: "Start taking action and covertly engage the enemy!"
Under the cover of night, the most elite Southwest Shandong Guard Brigade took action. The soldiers held their guns, walked as lightly as possible, hunched over, and ran toward the road. When they were 1,000 meters away, they began to lie down.
, and then crawled forward.
If Liu Yimin were at the scene at this time, he would definitely find that the Southwestern Shandong Garrison Brigade, tempered by the war, has become a veritable main force. What is missing is heavy artillery fire support such as field artillery and mountain artillery, and vehicles and war horses.
motorized transportation capabilities.
One thing Zhang Renchu was right about was that there were no Japs in Daguozhuang. The reason was that the villagers in Daguozhuang had been transferred in advance under the guidance of cadres and militia organizations. There were not even dogs or cats on the ground in such a large village.
The village looks lifeless. Small
After the Japanese hurried here, they wanted to fetch water from the well, but what they found were dead cats and mice. They broke into the house and were hit by landmines, killing or injuring five or six Japanese. Now the little Japanese got angry and used a torch.
The village was burned down, so they had no choice but to camp on the road.
This was the time when the 38th Division was at its most arrogant from top to bottom.
In the Battle of Yangji Town, the defense line of the 38th Division was torn apart by the Eighth Route Army, and all the defenders were killed. After the Eighth Route Army achieved the transfer of combat objectives, everyone from Okamura Neji who led the reinforcements to Chief of Staff Kanin Miyazai to Emperor Hirohito
They all thought that the 38th Division was trained and fought on the battlefield.
The increase in combat effectiveness forced the Eighth Route Army not to further expand its results, and then praised the 38th Division. As a result, not only did the division commander Fujii Yotomo's ambitions expand, but even the grassroots officers and soldiers became arrogant, thinking that they were really
It's not worse than the permanent division at all.
No, the little Japs were not honest when they camped. In addition to the soldiers on guard, the remaining soldiers removed the door panels from Daguo Village in advance, piled firewood into piles, and lit bonfires to illuminate the position and prevent
After a sneak attack on Tubal Road, the weather was getting colder, so camping in the wild at night required protection from the cold. The little devils sat around the campfire, looking at the still burning Daguo Village, laughing and gloating.
A few little Japs didn't know that their nerves had gone wrong, so they excitedly twisted around the fire and started singing. The Japs who were on alert on the battlefield all forgot about the danger, and started to move from the shallow trenches.
He got up and stood there watching.
If these little devils hadn't gotten carried away and kept singing and dancing, the Eighth Route Army would not have been able to approach the Japanese position so smoothly.
The reason why the little devils were so bold was that after they retaliated against the Eighth Route Army's Southwest Shandong Guard Brigade and the Second Shandong Guard Brigade, which attacked Longhai Road, they fought extremely smoothly. They even captured Caoxian County along the way. Not only did no large-scale attacks occur,
In battle, there were only a handful of small battles encountered, it was like being in a deserted land.
In the capture of Caoxian County, a famous city in southwestern Shandong, the Japs only suffered a few hundred casualties. This result made the Japs even more arrogant. You know, they were fighting against the legendary Liu Yimin Department of the Eighth Route Army. This was too unexpected.
This can only explain one problem, and that is that the judgment of the division commander is correct. There is no large-scale main force of the Eighth Route Army's teaching division in southwestern Shandong. If I had known this, I should have launched a mopping up operation to recapture southwestern Shandong.
Zhang Renchu and Mo Wenhua led their troops from the west to the Japanese baggage convoy on the Daguozhuang Highway. When they reached 500 meters, the soldiers of the fire support battalion began to establish mortar positions, grenade launchers and heavy machine guns.
then go straight ahead
They entered a place 250 meters away from the road before setting up a position. The infantry continued to crawl forward until they were 100 meters away from the Japanese position. They were afraid that the Japanese would find out, so they lay down on the ground, moved forward and drew their guns, preparing to
fighting.
Zhang Renchu had been following the actions of the fire support battalion. As soon as he saw that the troops were in place and the artillery positions were completed, he no longer hesitated, raised the shell gun in his hand and opened fire.
On this night, the moon and stars were sparse and the visibility was high. Guozhuang was burned down again by the Japs. The fire illuminated the sky red, and the fire on the road made it impossible for the Japs to hide.
.The goal is clear!
The Southwest Shandong Guard Regiment lacked heavy artillery but did not lack light and heavy machine guns and grenades.
As Zhang Renchu's gunfire rang out, the artillery positions, machine gun positions and light and heavy machine guns of each battalion of the Eighth Route Army's fire support battalion opposite Daguozhuang all opened fire. The shells fell on the little Japanese's simple position, and the light and heavy machine guns moved towards them like wind.
The fires where the Japs had gathered were being swept away fiercely, and the bullets were chirping and popping as they penetrated into the bodies of the little Japs.
Mortars and grenades were roaring, heavy machine guns and light machine guns were croaking. The riflemen did not stop, aiming and shooting at the Japanese soldiers jumping up and down. In an instant, the little Japanese who had been dancing and singing just now was trapped in the Eighth Route Army's compound.
Fire Network.
The heavy firepower lasted only two minutes. Zhang Renchu pulled out a broadsword from his back, held a shell gun in one hand, and weighed the broadsword in the other. He shouted: "Stop the bombardment! Bugler, blow the charge horn!" After shouting, he walked towards the road.
Rush away.
The ticking charge horn sounded, and the roar of mortars, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns suddenly stopped. The soldiers jumped up from the ground, shouting, and rushed towards the road.
At best, there are only about 300 Japs, and the Southwest Shandong Guard Regiment has nearly 3,000 people. That's ten to one. To be honest, this is a bit of a waste of bullets. If it were left to the previous Red Army period, neither Chen Shiqu nor Zhang Renchu would have done it.
How to solve battles by relying on firepower. Ever since I joined the Red Army
In college, when I got to the instructor, it became a method of controlling the enemy with intensive firepower and reducing troop casualties. Because the entire Red Army and the Eighth Route Army cadres and soldiers knew Liu Yimin's famous saying: The greatest wealth of the Red Army is the lives of Red Army soldiers. Ning She
One hundred rounds of bullets, not even a soldier's life.
The Eighth Route Army's fire attack wiped out every one of the Japs in one go. The little Japs who were lucky enough to be alive were actually very brave. They threw themselves on the ground and started shooting with their guns in an attempt to stop the Eighth Route Army. Unfortunately, the difference in power was too great.
Not only are there few people,
Weapons don’t have an advantage either. The Southwest Shandong Guard Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is also equipped with all Japanese equipment, and the number of machine guns is much more than that of the Japs. Basically, the Japs who try to resist will only have a chance to fire one shot, and they will be immediately killed by the Eighth Route Army.
hit.
A distance of 100 meters, for the Eighth Route Army soldiers who have guaranteed food and constant physical training, is as close as they can get. The attack speed is so fast that even the little devil’s car has no chance to escape. By the time Zhang Renchu is holding the shell gun and holding the big knife,
When we rushed onto the highway, the little devil was almost dead. Only one car started and started to put into gear, preparing to slip away.
This time Zhang Renchu came into use. He ran for a while, rushed to the car, raised his hand and fired a shot, hitting the Japanese driver who was holding the steering wheel and pressing the accelerator to the head.
The Japanese army's car swayed from side to side and lay down. Only then did Zhang Renchu say with satisfaction: "This trip was almost in vain."
Mok Wenhua complained that Zhang Renchu should not have been so careless. What should he do if he was injured?
Zhang Renchu laughed and said loudly: "I was injured seven times, and every time I was injured, I was fine. Are you afraid of a bird?"
Mo Wenhua reminded him: "Stop bragging and get the troops away quickly. Reinforcements will probably arrive soon!"
Zhang Renchu laughed again: "I have a lot of bullets and artillery shells right now, and I'm afraid that the Japs won't reinforce me! Political commissar, order the troops to take action."
Zhang Renchu is a tiger general, and he doesn't even know how to write the word "fear" in his mind. Now is the time when the 38th Division is at its peak, and Daguozhuang is on the traffic line, with Japanese troops on both sides.
It was easy to fall into the enemy's encirclement. But Zhang Renchu was not afraid and led his troops towards Liuzhuang to set up an ambush position.
Zhang Renchu's boldness is also justified. He has been in the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army for so long. When did the equipment become as good as it is now? You know, Liu Yimin said that several security brigades had poor weapons and equipment. Those were the First Hejiao Brigade and the Second Teacher Brigade.
Compared with the first-class main force such as the 3rd Brigade and the 3rd Teaching Brigade, if compared with other troops, even if they are the elite of the ***, they cannot be equipped with the same Japanese-style equipment as the Eighth Route Army's security brigade. The 38th Brigade is better than the national-made equipment.
The rifle can hit much farther and more accurately!
