The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 265 Why is there no good news
The battle in Linchuan Town is not easy.

Although the Japanese army in Linchuan Town has only one squadron, there are less than 200 people.But they are guarding the town. The terrain is complicated. The most troublesome thing is that there are thousands of ordinary people in the town.The large number of artillery carried by Gao Jiu and the others was useless.

When Gao Jiu came out this time, the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas almost came out in full force. The entire special forces team only left a few members, a total of 98 members came out, and Li Chengwu and Liang Shihu also brought 36 members.

Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion currently has 204 troops.Now in Linchuan Town, the total strength here is 335 people.

Wang Zhankui has been in Linchuan Town for a long time. He was stationed here when he was a puppet army. After the establishment of the new 24th regiment, he also stationed in Linchuan Town. It can be said that he is very familiar with this place.

In order to avoid accidentally injuring the people, Wang Zhankui thought he was familiar with the terrain, so he decided to let the cavalry battalion fight this battle.

He said: "Master Jiu, let me fight this battle." He was going to lead his brothers to use the familiar terrain to enter the town to destroy the enemy.

Gao Jiu understood Wang Zhankui's intentions, and believed in the combat effectiveness of Wang Zhankui and his cavalry battalion. It would be absolutely no problem to defeat the devils in the town.

However, entering the town and fighting the Japanese army in complex terrain, the cavalry battalion would inevitably suffer a lot of casualties and delay a lot of time.

Gao Jiu said: "Brother Zhankui, I understand what you mean, but this battle cannot be fought like this.

All on horseback now!follow me. "

Without arguing, Wang Zhankui got on his horse with his brothers and followed Gao Jiu in the dark sky.

By 7:40, Gao Jiu and the others had arrived at the north of Linchuan Town.

Gao Jiu, Zhang Quan, Guo Hengming, Du Shengxi, Li Chengwu, Liang Shihu, Wang Zhankui and others held a battle meeting.

Gao Jiu said: "Because there are a large number of people in the town, this battle should not be fought inside the town as much as possible. My plan is to form a siege to the Japanese army from the east, west, and north of the town, and leave a passage in the south to force the Japanese army to withdraw. Linchuan Town, fled to Zhiyuan County.

This time we only defeated the squadron of the devils, let them escape to the outskirts of the county, and sent letters to the devils, letting them know that our main force is here. "

When everyone heard this, they knew that Gao Jiu would have a new battle plan after defeating Linchuan Town.Everyone trusted Gao Jiu and had no doubts about his battle plan.

Gao Jiu glanced at everyone and saw that there was no disagreement, so he issued a combat order:
Zhang Quan led the first squadron of the Special Forces to ambush in the east of Linchuan Town, Guo Hengming led the second squadron to ambush in the west of Linchuan Town, Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion was on the left side of the north, Li Chengwu's security forces were on the right side of the north, Du Shengxi The fire team was in ambush in the middle of the north.

Ning Wu, Li Shengdong, and Li Xiaoshan each chose their sniping positions.

Gao Jiu led two special forces members and approached the town's wall with two cloth bags filled with grenades, and was responsible for attacking the enemy.

Gao Jiu specifically designated that Li Shengdong should fire first in this battle.At exactly 8:00, Li Shengdong aimed at a devil sentry at the gate of the town with the help of moonlight, and shot him in the chest.

Following the signal sent by Li Shengdong, the troops of Li Chengwu and Wang Zhankui deployed in the north opened fire. Their firepower was very fierce, and the team members shouted the slogan of rushing and killing with great momentum.

Gao Jiu and the others found a shelter about 70 meters away from the town wall and stopped, carefully observing the situation in the town.

Not long after, he saw many figures shaking in the town, and those people gathered towards the north of the town one after another.

These people don't need to ask, of course they are the Japanese army in the town, Gao Jiu is not in a hurry to attack the Japanese army, he is waiting for more Japanese army to approach.

Not long after, Gao Jiu saw about 100 Japanese troops approaching the town's wall.At this time, there were other people running in the town, and some people from the south of the town ran to the south, they should be some people who fled.

In addition, two groups of people moved quickly towards the east and west of the town respectively, with about 40 people in each group. These people were also Japanese soldiers, and they wanted to outflank the town from both wings.

On the north side of the town, the Japanese army formed a line and began to fight back outside the town.

Ning Wu, Li Shengdong and Li Xiaoshan started to attack the enemy with the flash of the guns of the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu saw that the Japanese army had already entered the position, picked up the grenade and threw it quietly towards the place where the Japanese army was relatively dense.

The black grenade flew quietly above the heads of the Japanese soldiers in the dark sky, and exploded suddenly. Gao Jiu could see that after the explosion, those figures stopped shaking. After a short time, their images became dim down.

The Japanese army didn't know where the grenade came from. According to their experience, the person who threw the grenade should be at a distance of 30 meters nearby, so some of the Japanese troops opened fire indiscriminately towards this range.Some Japanese soldiers also threw grenades outward, and they all exploded at a distance of 30 meters from the front of the position.

The Japanese army hoped that such a blind attack could knock out the attackers who were hiding in the dark and throwing grenades. However, to their disappointment, the enemy's grenades still flew over them silently and exploded violently.

Regardless of the fact that there were only three snipers, Ning Wu, Li Shengdong, and Li Xiaoshan, they killed more than 20 Japanese soldiers with one shot at a time.

Gao Jiu was even more outrageous. His grenade exploded wherever there were many people, killing more than 30 Japanese soldiers in a short time.

The Japanese army was very tenacious. Even though the casualties were so heavy, they still insisted on shooting out.Gao Jiu understood why they did this. They were counting on the Japanese army outflanking the two wings, which could play a role in surprise attacking the enemy.

Gao Jiu wished they would persist here, he kept throwing the grenade out.

At this time, the Japanese troops outflanking from the east and west wings were also attacked by the special forces led by Zhang Quan and Guo Hengming.After the fight between the two sides, although the other members of the special operations team were not as good as the snipers of the sniper team, they were all sharpshooters, each with a sniper rifle, and the Japanese soldiers they fought had no chance to fight back. Shoot, and sniper rifle bullets will fly over immediately.

At this time, there were not many remaining Japanese troops in the north. They finally couldn't take it anymore and started running towards the south end of the town. The remaining Japanese troops on the east and west sides also ran southward.

In order to force the Japanese army to escape, Gao Jiu ordered an all-out attack.The various troops ambushing on the east, west, and north sides opened fire with their guns in hand, while roaring and attacking forward.

The remaining devils suffered a heavy blow, and their souls were already scattered.Hearing the enemy's massive attack, how dare they stay in the town?Seeing that there were no enemies to the south, he desperately escaped from the town and headed towards Zhiyuan County.

Zhang Quan sent some special forces to chase after him for a few hundred meters with bluff, then stopped and returned to the town.

After capturing Linchuan Town, Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and others led the troops and galloped towards Lanxi County.

After the 115th Regiment of the Japanese Army crossed Linchuan Town, it is now deployed in the north of Zhiyuan County, and is responsible for attacking the positions of the 24th Regiment that refused to guard the north of the county.

Starting in the afternoon, they launched four consecutive attacks on the national army positions. They once took down the first trench of the national army, but were taken back by the national army reinforcements.Although they caused heavy casualties to the national army, they also lost more than 4 people.

The captain of the regiment, Chiba Kotaro, was in a very depressed mood. After Li Guishan, the captain of the Pingyue County Security Force, fled back to the county, he reported the news of the annihilation of the Yamaguchi Brigade to the gendarmerie captain.

The captain of the gendarmerie had conflicts with Chiba Kotaro. After getting the news, he gloated and immediately reported the news to the Jinan gendarmerie headquarters.

Sakai Toichiro and Hamada Yoshito received the news and were very depressed.Another entire brigade of the Japanese army was wiped out by others. The Gao Jiu gang in Taohuashan is really terrifying.

They had no choice but to report this information to the Japanese 128th Brigade.The head of the brigade, Oboff, was in a bad mood, and he scolded Chiba Kotaro on the phone, saying that if his troops were unable to take down the enemy's position tomorrow, he would be punished by military law.

Chiba Kotaro was in a bad mood, drank a little stuffy wine, and lay down on the camp bed to rest.

11:40. He was woken up by the squadron. It turned out that the Japanese army stationed in Linchuan Town had fled back. There were only 181 soldiers left in this squadron, and the squadron leader was also killed.

Chiba Kotaro had to put on his clothes and listen to a report from a team leader who escaped back.The leader of the ghost squad who came back alive by chance said that they were attacked by a large number of enemies. The attackers were equipped with a large number of machine guns and the firepower was very fierce. The enemy's army had at least 1000 people.

The reason why he came to such a conclusion was that he could not see the specific number of enemies at night. Based on military common sense, he judged from the enemy's firepower that such a powerful vitality was no less than a regiment of the national army.Another point, in order to shirk their heavy losses and the loss of Linchuan Town, he deliberately exaggerated the enemy's strength.

Chiba Kotaro was very depressed, he couldn't figure out where the enemy got such a large force?Although he had gone to encircle and suppress Taohua Mountain, it was just a feint, and he had never fought against Gao Jiu from Taohua Mountain, and he could not tell that these people were Gao Jiu's Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

He had no choice but to report this information to the brigade commander Oboff.But this time he learned to be smart. He didn't report to Obauf himself, but asked the wing team to report. When Obaugh asked about his whereabouts, the wing team said that he had gone to the front to observe the enemy's situation.

However, Obauf gave a death order and asked him to answer the phone in person. Chiba Kotaro was very helpless. He deliberately delayed for half an hour, then picked up the phone, pretended to have just run back, and asked out of breath: " Your Excellency Captain, I have just returned from the forward position, what instructions do you have?"

Although Oboff's tone was very blunt, he did not reprimand Chiba Kotaro.He said: "Lanxi County has been besieged by a large group of Chinese troops. You should immediately bring people to reinforce it."

Chiba Kotaro didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and thought, "Why is it all bad news?"

Gao Jiu and the others came outside Lanxi County, and after deployment, they began to launch a feint attack on Lanxi County.They want to surround the reinforcements and ambush the enemy's reinforcements.
