The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 935 Prepare for a big fight

Huang Rui is one of the main representatives. He believes that so many guerrillas have retreated to remote mountainous areas, and supplies are difficult. It is really too much pressure to feed so many people. If the problem of eating and drinking cannot be solved, the troops will soon be dragged down.

Guan Tieshan felt that Huang Rui's worries were justified.After deliberation, everyone finally decided to stay in the county and fight the Japanese puppet army first. If they can repel the attack of the Japanese puppet army, they can buy a period of time for the guerrillas to train and at the same time raise supplies. Build a secret camp in the deep mountains.As a last resort, retreat into the mountains.

After the determination was made, the third battalion began to strengthen the defensive offensive on the city wall.Due to the large number of people, some people were separated to dig trenches outside the county seat, preparing to fight the Japanese army.

The commander of the Binjiang Public Security District and Captain Watanabe sent a large number of spies to inquire about the situation of the guerrillas. When they learned that the guerrillas were planning to rely on Baolin County to fight the Japanese army, they were very happy.

Both the commander of the security area and Captain Watanabe have long-term experience in fighting guerrillas. What they are most worried about is not the number of enemies, but the fear that guerrillas will sneak into the mountains.

In order to track these guerrillas in the vast forest, they suffered a lot.The guerrillas are in the dark, they are in the light, it is almost impossible to guard against them, which makes them exhausted physically and mentally, and very tired.

Although there are a large number of guerrillas today, they stay in Baolin County to fight the Japanese army. This is the Japanese army's favorite result.

The commander of the public security area and Captain Watanabe decided to seize this golden opportunity to completely annihilate the third battalion.

The Japanese army was very sure that they would be able to defeat the troops of the third battalion. What they were worried about was that after the defeat of the third battalion, the backbone of the third battalion would run into the mountains and forests again. Therefore, they decided that the Watanabe unit would attack Baolin County head-on and divide the public security area. The troops of the Communist Party of China divided into two groups, outflanked Baolin County, and cut off their retreat to the mountains.

This morning, Captain Watanabe led the troops to Baolin County. After observation, he ordered the troops to attack the troops of the third battalion.

The troops of the third battalion were large and powerful, and they dug two trenches outside the city.At the beginning, when they saw that the number of Japanese troops was not as large as their own, the guerrillas became more courageous. They held guns and prepared to repel the Japanese attack in the trenches.

The infantry tactics of the Japanese army, whether it is the Kwantung Army or the Japanese army in the Kanai, are based on the same set of textbooks during training. However, this offensive tactic is very effective.

The Japanese infantry got ready and began shelling.

There is a saying on the battlefield that "new soldiers are afraid of artillery, and veterans are afraid of machine guns." When the Japanese cannons were fired, the recruits of the guerrillas were frightened.When they saw people around them being blown to pieces, their spirits began to collapse.

When the Japanese infantry charged, the guerrillas guarding the first trench began to flee.The old guerrillas guarding the second trench shouted desperately, and finally stopped the rout of these recruits.

The recruits all entered the second trench. Seeing that there were more people in the trench, everyone became more courageous, encouraged each other, and stayed.

The Japanese artillery fire began to extend, continuously shelling the second trench.Although everyone was evading, it still caused a lot of casualties.

The infantry of the Japanese army began to charge. The Japanese soldiers attacked in a very organized way. Instead of rushing up in a swarm, they first sent a small group of people to approach in a skirmish line. When they were 50 meters away from the enemy's trenches From the left and right distances, I began to lie down and crawl forward, preparing to throw grenades within 30 meters from the enemy's trenches, and then jumped up to charge.

When the leading troops rushed into the enemy's trenches to fight with the enemy, the large troops behind rushed up quickly and finally settled the battle.

At the beginning, the guerrillas saw that there were not many enemy soldiers rushing up, so they became more courageous. They shot randomly and even hit some devil soldiers.Seeing this situation, the guerrillas became excited, and their morale increased a lot.

However, when the devil soldiers reached a distance of 50 meters and began to crawl forward, seeing the devil soldiers approaching step by step, the guerrillas began to panic again.

When the devil soldiers climbed more than 20 meters away from the trench, a burst of grenades was thrown, and the guerrillas were blown to pieces.

Taking advantage of the smoke rising from the explosion, the ghost soldiers jumped up from the ground, holding bright bayonets, and rushed up screaming.The brigade of Japanese troops behind also howled and rushed forward.

The recruits were terrified and had no intention of fighting. They climbed out of the trenches and ran towards the city gate. No matter how loud the old guerrillas who had just been appointed commanders shouted, they could not stop the rout of these recruits.

They could only be forced to follow the recruits and run towards the city gate.

Seeing this situation, Guan Tieshan hurriedly asked someone to open the city gate.The guerrillas crowded into the city, and the devil soldiers fired violently behind them, and many guerrillas fell in a pool of blood.

When the devil soldiers saw the guerrillas running into the city from the gate, they also rushed forward, hoping to mix with the guerrillas and seize the opportunity to snatch the city gate.

Guan Tieshan commanded the guerrillas on the city wall to block the Japanese army behind with machine guns, and finally stopped the Japanese army's pursuit and rescued the guerrillas outside the city.

After a short battle, the guerrillas had lost nearly 1000 people, and the morale of the guerrillas was very low.

The commanders coaxed, lied and threatened, and finally forced these recruits to go up to the city wall to defend.

The Japanese army approached the city wall and continued to bombard the city wall.The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army used firepower to suppress the firepower of the guerrillas on the city wall, and at the same time launched an attack towards the city gate.

Guan Tieshan knew the importance of the city gates. The two city gates were guarded by officers and soldiers directly under the guerrilla corps. These officers and soldiers had participated in several battles, and many of them were sent by underground party organizations. player.Their combat effectiveness was very strong, and they repelled the Japanese attack not long after.

The recruits of the guerrillas guarding the city wall originally wanted to escape when they saw the Japanese army rushing up, but after seeing the Japanese army's attack was repulsed, they became a little more stable.

Since the Japanese army did not carry the ladders for attacking the city, they saw that they could not take down the city gate for a while, so they suspended their attack and organized troops to tie up the ladders under the guidance of engineers.

Three hours later, the Japanese army launched an attack again. The devil officers and soldiers rushed towards the city wall carrying the ladder and screaming.

Guan Tieshan led his personal guards to patrol the city wall. Seeing that the recruits on the city wall began to waver again, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't run, the county has been surrounded by devils. Only by holding on to the city wall can everyone be able to move forward." There is a way to survive. Don’t be afraid of devils, they are human beings, and they are also afraid of death, just look at me.”

Guan Tieshan took a 38-type rifle from a guerrilla, and shot at the Japanese commander outside the city, hitting the guy with a face full of tears, and then he fired three times in a row , Killed three more devil soldiers.

The devil soldiers were hit so badly that they all fell to the ground at once.

Seeing the distress of the devil soldiers, the morale of the guerrillas suddenly rose.With their rifles in hand, they kept shooting at the ghost soldiers outside the city. Some devils were knocked down by them just as they stood up, and the morale of the recruits became even stronger.

Guan Tieshan kept patrolling the city wall, rushing to wherever he saw danger.As the attacks of the devil soldiers were repulsed, the morale of the guerrillas gradually recovered. After that, they repelled two attacks by the Japanese army.

The guerrillas experienced the test of the war and began to adapt. Before dusk, they repelled the Japanese attack again.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Captain Watanabe decided to temporarily suspend the attack, and sent someone to get in touch with the commander of the public security area. He learned that they had completely outflanked the guerrilla's rear and surrounded the county town. We discussed suspending the attack tonight, as long as we firmly hold the county seat and prevent them from escaping, we will ask the air force to send bombers to support it when the morning dawns, and then we will take the county seat in one fell swoop and completely annihilate the third battalion.

After receiving Gao Jiu's telegram, the commander of the third military division of the Jidong Military Region of the underground party immediately reported the content of the telegram to the Jidong Military Region.

The head of the Jidong Military Region attached great importance to this matter, and immediately contacted the underground party organization outside the pass through his superiors.

After communication, the underground party organization outside the pass requested the Jidong Military Region to send reinforcements to support the third battalion.

The Jidong Military Region issued an order to the Third Army Division, ordering them to send a regiment of troops into the pass to support the third battalion.

The team was led by a deputy chief of staff of the Third Army Division of the Jidong Military Region. He led the troops to set off overnight according to the route map sent by Gao Jiu.

In order to ensure the safety of the troops of the Third Army Division, Gao Jiu airdropped a batch of weapons, ammunition, medicine and other supplies for them, and also airdropped a special warfare squadron of the Taohuashan Guerrilla Army to escort the troops of the Third Army Division to Customs.

Gao Jiu planned to play a big one this time, until the Kwantung Army was completely subdued.

Baolin County.

After fierce fighting during the day, Huang Rui realized that he had overestimated the combat effectiveness of the newly formed troops of the third old battalion. He now believes that Guan Tieshan's opinion is correct, because the current combat effectiveness of the third old battalion is not enough to fight against the Japanese army. anti.

He agreed with Guan Tieshan's opinion and withdrew the troops to the mountains as soon as possible.

But it's too late now, Baolin County is surrounded by enemy troops on all sides. Although the Japanese army's troops are scattered in all directions, and there are not so many troops in each place, the old third battalion is now distracted and trapped in the county. In order to save their lives, they can also unite as one to fight devils.Once out of the city, the troops are likely to collapse when they are attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops.

After all, Guan Tieshan has more than ten years of combat experience. After a comprehensive analysis, he decided to leave Baolin County. Otherwise, a large number of reinforcements from the Japanese army will rush over, and the third battalion will be completely wiped out by then.

He planned to launch a breakout tonight while there were not many enemy troops outside, and counted as much as he could get out.As long as the backbone of the third battalion is guaranteed, there will be a chance for a comeback in the future.

Huang Rui didn't have any ideas now, and said he would obey Guan Tieshan's arrangement.

Guan Tieshan summoned the backbone of the old third battalion and asked them to gather most of the new fighters who performed well in the daytime battle.Guan Tieshan wanted to form them into a commando team, break out of the siege, and then cover the new soldiers to evacuate Baolin County together.

Outside the city, neither Captain Watanabe nor the commander of the public security district took a break.They were very worried that the third battalion would use the night to break through, so they ordered the troops to strengthen their guard, half of them rested, and half were on duty, ready to block the breakout of the third battalion at any time.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the breakout operation of the third battalion began.Guan Tieshan knew that the two city gates of the county seat would be closely monitored by the Japanese army. In order to achieve a sudden breakthrough, he did not choose the city gate, but chose the city wall on the other side.

They lowered a few ropes from the wall and organized commandos to climb down from the wall.

A few guerrillas went down the city wall, looked around, and found no movement, so they began to shake the rope to signal safety.

Guan Tieshan was very happy to see that the enemy was unprepared, so he organized people to continue slipping down the city.

Suddenly, gunshots erupted outside the city.

Guan Tieshan could clearly see that the flashes of the enemy's guns were densely packed, and a large number of Japanese troops had already ambushed here.

The guerrillas who had already descended the city wall were shot and fell down one after another, and the officers and soldiers who were going down the city wall along the ropes were even more miserable. Many of them were shot and fell directly from the city wall.

"Oops! The enemy is on guard." Guan Tieshan groaned secretly in his heart. He had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

After repelling the breakout operation of the third battalion, Captain Watanabe was very satisfied. He believed that the third battalion surrounded in the city would be completely destroyed this time.

In order to prevent the third battalion from being desperate to break out of the siege, he ordered his troops to keep half of them resting and half of them to continue to stick to the defensive position.

The commander of the public security area was also very happy. The sudden expansion of the ranks of the third battalion made him worried for a while, but he did not expect that this turned out to be a good thing.The so-called boat is small and easy to turn around. The former third battalion has always maintained a guerrilla state. They are hidden in the vast forest, and it is really difficult to find them.

But this time they automatically got into Baolin County, surrounded by water, and it was impossible to escape.

He also ordered his troops to maintain a high level of alert to prevent the third battalion from breaking through again.
