The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1221 Raid on the Navy Station

Chapter 1221 Raid on the Navy Station (Second Update)

The co-captain of the baggage train still had a sweet dream of waiting for help.

I feel that the headquarters below are all made of reinforced concrete structures, and ordinary mortars cannot damage the building itself no matter how hard it is bombed.

As long as the guards have enough ammunition, they will definitely be able to defend for three or four hours.

At that time, the reinforcements sent by the Peking Command should have crawled to the dock even if they had to crawl.

To put it bluntly, even if the front army headquarters did not send reinforcements to the Tianjin Pier and directly asked the thousands of people who had just set off from the Pier to turn around and return, three or four hours would be enough for them to march back to the battlefield and relieve themselves.

"Rumble..."

Two explosions that were obviously more violent than the explosion of mortar shells reached the ears of the commander, and then several guards guarding the door began to panic. One of them, Captain Cao, turned around and rushed to the commander: "Sir..."

"Field artillery..."

"The Eighth Route Army brought two field artillery pieces to attack us."

"The two machine gun bunkers at the headquarters gate have been blown up by field artillery, and the two machine gun teams were killed on the spot."

"Although the building where the headquarters is located is very strong, it certainly cannot withstand continuous field artillery attacks."

"This place may be breached at any time, you must move immediately..."

When he heard the word "field artillery", the captain realized that his dream was shattered, and at the same time he realized that he had missed a big problem.

The reason why a baggage regiment is arranged at the dock is that it is valued by the North China Front and so many troops are stationed there.

Not because the geographical location is very important, nor because a gunboat detachment is stationed here, but because most of the weapons and ammunition from the logistics department of the North China Front are stored here.

I had just been thinking about how to hold on to the headquarters, hold on until reinforcements arrived, repel the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops, eliminate them, and finish the warehouse that I really needed to defend.

There was only a small patrol there, which was ineffective against the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops.

Once captured by the Eighth Route Army, they will be able to obtain a steady stream of weapons, ammunition and various supplies from the warehouse.

Not to mention two field guns, even if two large-caliber heavy artillery were pushed in, the captain would think it was nothing.

Facing the anxious-looking subordinates, his first reaction was that it was over.

Abandoning the dock warehouse, even if he was lucky enough to escape the siege of the Eighth Route Army and survive until the end of the battle, Okamura Neji would send himself to a military court, and he would still not escape death in the end.

Since he was destined to die if the warehouse was lost, it would be meaningless to move now.

After waving his hand to signal his subordinates to leave, he ordered: "The Eighth Route Army is now everywhere on the dock. We have no way to escape."

"Everyone is ready to fight..."

"Put the enemy into the headquarters before fighting, and strive to kill more than two Eighth Route Army soldiers for each soldier before dying."

…………

Naval offshore gunboat detachment station.

Hearing the sudden sound of a large number of firefights around the dock, these naval officers, although not in the army, were soldiers after all. They still rushed out of the hard protection at the first time, fully armed and ready for battle.

But they had no orders to go up to the peak. Faced with the sudden accident in front of them, no one knew what to do next.

After all, they were not familiar with the army's combat methods, nor did they know how bad the battle situation would be after the dock was attacked, let alone whether the baggage regiment could block the enemy's attack and defend the dock.

If they can easily hold the dock, the gunboat detachment will not need to move, they will just stay at the station and be a bystander. However, if the baggage regiment cannot stop the enemy's attack and cannot defend the dock, everyone must get on board as soon as possible and drive the more than ten gunboats under the gunboat detachment away from the dock to prevent them from having accidents during the battle.

Time is life on the battlefield.

In this instant, they cut off the only way out for the gunboat detachment.

If their captain Li Duan immediately led the team on board the ship as soon as the pier was attacked and drove the gunboat away from the pier, the Eighth Route Army in the wings would have no way to deal with them and could only look back and sigh.

As a result, they actually stayed at the station waiting for news.

The first to reach the naval garrison was the 2nd Battalion of the 4th Regiment of the Unique Brigade. The battalion commander Wang Guanghui was called Scud by Kong Jie. He ran very fast. Even the troops in his hands were also very good at marching and were very fast.

In order to intercept the little Japanese navy at the dock and prevent them from boarding the ship, Huang Yu specially gave him the task of raiding the navy station.

After the troops broke through the Japanese line, Wang Guanghui led the troops all the way to the naval station, fearing that these little devils would slip away from under his nose.

Maybe it was his luck.

When they arrived near the naval station, not one of the more than 300 naval officers left the station.

Although they had stepped up their guard and arranged a small team of soldiers to defend at the gate of the station, and even set up heavy machine guns, Wang Guanghui did not take this threat seriously.

As long as they didn't run away, no matter how hard these Japs held their positions, they couldn't stop the Second Battalion's attack.

"Boom boom boom..."

A group of three artillery shells first came to the naval station, and they hit the door of the station steadily as if they had eyes.

A machine gun position was overturned in an instant, the machine gun was blown away, and soldiers were blown everywhere. Some people screamed, and some were bloody and lifeless.

"Enemy attack...prepare to fight..."

The captain of the Japanese gunboat unit drew out his command knife with a swipe, rushed out of the office and shouted orders to his assembled subordinates.

"Sir... the Eighth Route Army is attacking the station. It has at least one squadron and is equipped with mortars and a large number of light machine guns. The defenders at the gate have suffered heavy casualties. They will definitely not be able to hold on for too long."

A squadron under his command immediately reminded the captain: "Sir, the Red Army has entered the dock..."

"The baggage regiment will definitely not be able to hold on anymore. I suggest everyone rush out of the dock immediately, get on the ship and leave..."

When the captain hesitated and didn't know what to make, the operator suddenly ran over: "Sir..."

"Urgent call from dock command..."

"Let us board the ship immediately and use the gunboat's naval guns and the baggage regiment to provide artillery support to block the Eighth Route Army's attack..."

The arrival of this telegram finally made the captain make up his mind. He pointed his command knife at the gate and ordered with a murderous expression: "Attack..."

"Launch a counterattack against the enemy's attacking troops from the front, kill the enemies in front of us, board the ship to fight, and kill them..."

"Boom boom boom..."

Three rounds of artillery shells hit the gate of the station non-stop. Among the Japanese navy officers and soldiers who rushed out, some were killed and injured by the shells, and fell on the way to the breakout.

But because the density of shells was too low, more than 80% of the Japs still rushed out of the station.

Holding the gun, he trotted towards the gunboat, wanting to board the ship quickly without stopping on the battlefield.
