Chapter 81 Crushing the Little Devils Stronghold
After replenishing ammunition and supplies, Xu Tianlong took people on the journey again, aiming directly to the Japanese base, Meng County!
This time, he did not leave his troops to station in Linyuan County, but chose to let the left-behind 37th Brigade send a battalion.
After all, in Hefeng County, the Japanese in front of him had already fled to Meng County, and there were no Japanese strongholds in the surrounding areas, so there was no need for too many troops to garrison at this time.
The Mixed Brigade was divided into two near the Liaohe River. Xu Tianlong led two infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, and marched towards Mengxian in a row!
Along the way, Xu Tianlong sighed a little. It would be great if he had traveled through time earlier. The Japanese around 1931 had only about 20,000 people. In addition, the Japanese reinforcements from the peninsula were only 50,000 at most, so how easy it would be to fight!
Unlike now, after 31 years, after the Japanese plundered a lot of wealth and resources, their national strength increased sharply. At the same time, they also launched mobilization orders in China and frequently mobilized troops across the sea. In the four northeastern provinces, the total strength of the Japanese is conservative and has a scale of five divisions.
The average number of a division is 30,000, and five are 150,000. In addition, some puppet troops, police forces, and the Japanese have 200,000 as the foundation.
However, it is not impossible to fight. Now that their Fengtian army has become a climate, it is not so easy for the Japanese to mobilize divisions to siege. At worst, they can only spend a few years of hard life.
.........
At this time, many Japanese officers in Mengxian and the Japanese command were worried. They had already learned the news that the Feng army marched to Mengxian.
"Everyone knows the meaning above. We must guard Meng County, otherwise Shuangyang County will be safe!"
The captain of the Japanese Regiment stationed in Meng County said with a sad face.
"Our Confederate Captain, based on our analysis and judgment on the victory of the Fengtian Army's previous battles, I think we must not retreat to the county town this time, otherwise once the city gate is broken, our army will be surrounded."
A Japanese officer stood up and said, "I think we should ambush the main force of the Fengtian army outside the city. Even if we cannot wipe them out, we will inevitably suffer losses!"
The captain of the Japanese corps closed his eyes and thought for a while, and agreed to the Japanese officer's suggestion, but the question arose. Where can I ambush the main force of the Fengtian army, which can not only attack the enemy, but also retreat quickly?
Seeing the captain of the corps to signal to himself, the Japanese officer continued, "My idea is that our army can set up an ambush behind Wangjia Village, where the terrain is relatively different, which is very beneficial to us..."
On the other hand, after several days of marching, the Fengtian army led by Xu Tianlong had arrived in Meng County and stationed troops in an area.
On that day, Xu Tianlong sent three soldiers from the reconnaissance company to reconnaissance the enemy situation in a concealed or made-up manner!
The Japanese have shrunk their troops. According to the news sent by the scouts, they had transferred a large number of troops back to the county town for defense two days ago.
On the periphery of Meng County, only a large number of puppet soldiers were arranged in the strongholds and bunkers near the official road.
"This is using the second Japanese as cannon fodder. I want to use this to consume our strength and ammunition, but unfortunately his plan failed."
Xu Tianlong sneered, turned around immediately, and said to Chen Dalei and others, "Old Chen, first fight against the puppet troops in the outer stronghold, a total of five large bunkers and artillery towers. You can arrange the personnel yourself and transfer Chen Erlei and his sharpshooter to me."
After saying that, Xu Tianlong felt something was wrong again and then added:
"Remember, our attitude towards the puppet army is also clear, focusing on persuading surrender. After all, the Chinese do not attack the Chinese, but if they are stubborn, then don't be polite!"
"Yes, Grandmaster!"
Chen Dalei nodded. When the soldiers learned about the combat mission, they quickly began to prepare for dinner.
At twelve o'clock noon, the soldiers of the two regiments were broken into pieces and divided into several forces. At the same time, they launched an attack on the levels set up by the Japanese along the way.
Xu Tianlong also led a company of soldiers, all of whom were weeds on their heads, to the periphery of a Japanese level, preparing to carry out a raid!
"The Japanese bunker is well built. You must know that you will bring another cannon company here."
Xu Tianlong lay in the trench outside the bunker, holding a telescope to look at the Japanese bunker. Judging from the other party's clothes, it was indeed a puppet army, that's right.
The number of people in the bunker was unknown, but at most, there were about 100 people in such a building. Outside the bunker, there were about twenty or thirty puppet troops standing guard.
Three or four of them gathered together and kept looking around. The seemingly loose position of the puppet army seemed extremely cautious everywhere, which made Xu Tianlong frown.
"Shunliu, start fighting!"
However, he did not think much and directly ordered the soldiers to launch an attack, advance 200 meters, and include the Japanese bunker within the range of grenade throwing.
"Crazy!"
Chen Erlei, who was beside him, pulled the bolt, loaded the bullet, raised his hand and shot it into the head of a puppet army!
"Bang!"
The puppet army who was hit immediately burst into blood and fell down straight. The puppet army around him became alert and hurriedly fell to the ground. Instantly, they judged the location of Xu Tianlong and others and shot.
While shooting, they retreated, retreated one after another, and entered the auxiliary building next to the bunker.
Soon, a heavy machine gun inside the bunker, coupled with the heavy machine guns on the stairs next to it, also opened fire at Xu Tianlong and the others one after another, and the bullets flew over the heads of Xu Tianlong and others.
Rifles poked out from several shooting holes in the bunker to shoot!
It's a bit strange. The reaction speed and fighting style of these puppet troops are obviously different from the second Japanese they encountered before!
Just one stronghold is equipped with two heavy machine guns, which may be more than this number. Is the Japanese so good to the Japanese?
"Machine gunners, give them some color and wait for my order to cease fire!"
Before he could think too much, Xu Tianlong ordered the light machine gun to fire and suppress the fire. Five light machine guns were ordered and the firepower was fully opened. In an instant, the second Japanese were flew away and bullets flew everywhere.
It’s a pity that most of them hide in bunkers, and bullets basically don’t have much lethality.
"Shunliu, what about Shunliu? Fight me the machine gunners on the hood to death! They must destroy a firepower point!"
Seeing that the opponent's counterattack was so fierce, Xu Tianlong immediately shouted.
Chen Erlei raised the muzzle, opened the ruler on the rifle, aimed it, and decisively pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The second Japanese devil who was manipulating the neck of a pheasant was shot by Chen Erlei more than 200 meters away and fell on the wardrobe. He died so much that he could not die anymore.
Another two Japanese next to him took over the position of the machine gunner when he saw his companion die, without even thinking about it, and did not even have any fear.
It’s a pity that he underestimated the sharpshooter’s marksman’s spearman, and even though he didn’t even have a high-power scope in his hand, he quickly solved the three Japanese devils on the sentry tower!
A heavy machine gun was fired so quickly, and the machine gunners and substitute machine gunners and ammunition senders were killed one after another, which made the other party unexpected!
Seeing that the firepower on the opposite side weakened, the soldiers immediately took out a few smoke bombs and threw them out. Taking advantage of the cover of the smoke, everyone successfully pushed the front line into a trench more than 100 meters outside the bunker.
With the cover, Xu Tianlong ordered the soldiers to cease fire, and a soldier immediately raised his own megaphone and began to shout at the bunker.
"Brothers in the bunker, now the one fighting with you is the troops of the Fengtian Army Mixed Brigade of Jinlong County! We have three regiments in the rear!"
"I advise you to surrender quickly. Guns and cannons do not have eyes! They are all raised by their parents. Who is not very precious? If Chinese people don't beat Chinese people, why should they lose their lives for the Japanese?"
"Give you ten minutes to consider! You will be responsible for the consequences!"
Xu Tianlong looked at the movements on the bunker, and the more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he was, the more he thought about it, the more he was wrong. These two minutes passed, and the opponent neither answered nor surrendered. Are they not afraid of death?
Thinking of the other party's well-trained combat methods and calm handling methods, and quickly judging their location, Xu Tianlong felt even more confused.
Could it be...
"Bang bang!"
When Xu Tianlong saw the bodies of several Japanese killers who were killed lying in front of him, he immediately took out two smoke bombs and threw them out. With the cover of the smoke bombs, he dragged the two corpses back.
Chapter completed!
