I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 168
Liu Tianzhou had no intention of treason and surrendering to the enemy. With the assistance of Xu Hu and others, the work of raising ships went very smoothly.

On Xu Qingfeng's side, after discussions between Sun Kui, Zhang Zhijian, Fang Shengli and others, the distribution of personnel and equipment for the army was quickly finalized.

Each infantry squadron has 100 people, the machine gun squadron has 100 people, and the remaining more than 100 people are assigned to the guard platoon and the reconnaissance platoon.

In terms of equipment, all three heavy machine guns were given to the cannon squadron, and the light machine guns were allocated to three squadrons.

The submachine guns were uniformly assigned to the guard platoon and reconnaissance platoon.

Four mortars and some grenade launchers captured from the Japanese were also provided to the cannon squadron to strengthen fire support.

In fact, in terms of weapons and equipment, Xu Qingfeng still has a total of 18 medium-sized rifles, [-] MP[-] submachine guns, and a Sherman tank in his warehouse.

However, now is not the best time to take it out and use it.

This batch of equipment must wait until it crosses the river and reaches a safe place, and then be used according to the situation.

Fortunately, the Independent Brigade does not lack weapons and equipment right now, so there is no need to worry.

Just after the reorganization of the troops was completed, the veteran squad leader sent by Zhou Weiguo arrived.

When he came to Xu Qingfeng, he stood up to him and said, "Report to Commander Xu that we have entered Hekou Town.

There are no Japs in the town. Our commander, Captain Zhou, has sent us a humble post to inform you to bring your troops there as soon as possible. "

"Okay, I got it." Xu Qingfeng got up immediately, and told Chen Qifeng, Sun Kui and the others: "Pass my order, all of them will move to Hekou Town, the No. 1 Squadron will open the way, and the reconnaissance line will be at the back!"

"Yes!" Several people responded happily, and immediately split up and went.

……

When Xu Qingfeng and the others rushed to Hekou Town with their troops, Liu Tianzhou, Xu Hu and others had already raised thirty fishing boats of various sizes.

The people in the town were also mobilized, except for dozens of experienced fishermen.

There are also many women and children who enthusiastically helped the Independent Brigade prepare a hot dinner.

Xu Qingfeng and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade were able to eat steaming rice as soon as they arrived.

"Qingfeng, this is Mayor Liu Tianzhou and Liu of Hekou Town. Thanks to his enthusiastic help this time."

While he was eating with the officers and soldiers, Zhou Weiguo led Liu Tianzhou to Xu Qingfeng and introduced him.

"Hello, Mayor Liu. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers in our department, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Xu Qingfeng stood up immediately and saluted Liu Tianzhou solemnly.

Liu Tianzhou was a little flattered and said: "This officer is too polite, I just did what I should do.

Oh, by the way, do the soldiers have enough to eat?If it's not enough, I'll ask someone to prepare it. "

"That's enough, that's enough." Xu Qingfeng nodded and said, "Mayor Liu, you've worked hard. Go and rest first. Captain Zhou and I still have something to say."

"Okay, okay, sir, I have something to say." Liu Tianzhou nodded and left.

After watching Liu Tianzhou leave, Xu Qingfeng immediately asked, "Guo Wei, how many ships did you get?"

"Thirty ships." Zhou Weiguo said: "Mayor Liu and I calculated that an average of 300 people can be carried in one trip, and all of us can be sent to the north bank in two trips."

"En." Xu Qingfeng nodded and said, "That's enough."

"By the way, the troops have been reorganized into three infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron, plus two guard and reconnaissance platoons."

Zhou Weiguo said: "As long as you have made your decision, there is no need to tell anyone."

"Then let's discuss the preparations for crossing the river and the plan after crossing the river." Xu Qingfeng pondered for a while, looked up at Zhou Weiguo and said, "After crossing the river, we will be able to return to the Kuomintang-controlled area soon. What are your plans?"

Zhou Weiguo was silent for a while, and asked back, "Brother Qingfeng, how about you?"

"To be honest, I don't plan to return to the team." Xu Qingfeng told the truth: "I plan to play by ear in Jiangbei, replenish the troops, and continue to fight against the Japanese invaders."

"Moreover, I judge that after the Japanese army captured Nanjing, they will definitely attack Xuzhou from the north to the south.

Because only in this way can they get through the Jinpu line, realize the join forces of the North China and Central China Front Armies, and further reduce the strategic living space of our army.

At that time, if Xuzhou is in a tight situation, I may lead my troops north to join the war and do my best to help the national army fight the Japanese attack. "

Zhou Weiguo said: "In this case, I will not return to the army. As long as I can fight the Japanese and serve the country, wherever you go, Brother Qingfeng, Weiguo will also go."

Xu Qingfeng nodded happily and said: "Then I welcome you with both hands. To be honest, it's really nice to be able to fight side by side with you, brother, and fight against the enemy together!"

Zhou Weiguo nodded and smiled: "Me too!"

"Then it's settled. After crossing the river, we won't go to the third theater to return to the team, but will turn west and enter the area near the Dabie Mountains.

For the time being, the devils can't get their hands on it yet, so we have a lot of room to make up for it. "

"Yeah." Zhou Weiguo happily nodded in agreement.

An hour later, it was completely dark.

The officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade had already eaten and drank enough, and had recovered their strength through rest.

Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo didn't want to stay longer on the south bank, so they ordered the troops to start crossing the river.

The first batch of troops crossing the river was personally led by Xu Qingfeng. Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu stayed behind on the south bank and waited for the ships to return before crossing the river.

Since the devils were attacking Nanjing with all their strength at that time, most of their naval ships were also blocked in the Jiangyin area.

Therefore, there are actually no Japanese ships patrolling the waters around the river mouth.

By night, with the help of the local people.

More than 600 people including Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo successfully crossed the Yangtze River and arrived at the north bank.

After all the troops landed, Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo came to bid farewell to Liu Tianzhou and other people in Hekou Town.

As soon as they arrived on the shore, Liu Tianzhou, who was standing on the bow of a fishing boat, said goodbye to them: "Mr. Xu, Chief Zhou, let's say goodbye. I hope you can fight back soon and regain Jiangnan."

"Mayor Liu, thank you for your kindness, please rest assured, we will do our best to kill the enemy and recover Jiangnan as soon as possible!" Zhou Weiguo said in awe.

Xu Qingfeng couldn't bear to attack them and immediately shouted: "All of you, salute Mayor Liu and the compatriots!"

After saying this, he took the lead and stood upright, solemnly saluting Liu Tianzhou and the fishermen and boatmen behind him with a standard military salute.

Driven by him, Zhou Weiguo, Fang Shengli, Sun Kui, Zhang Zhijian, Wang Tiezhu, Chen Qifeng and other hundreds of officers and soldiers of the independent brigade all stood up to attention and raised their hands in salute.

After bidding farewell to Liu Tianzhou and other people in Hekou Town, Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo immediately led the troops and began to transfer and evacuate in the northwest direction under the cover of night.

After walking for about five kilometers, Wang Changgui, the deputy platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon sent by Xu Qingfeng in advance to conduct reconnaissance, suddenly turned back as soon as he crossed the river.

He came to Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo nervously, and saluted them: "Captain, deputy captain, there is a situation. We found a convoy of Japanese and puppet troops three kilometers ahead, marching from west to east."

"Japanese and puppet military convoy?" Xu Qingfeng was startled when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Have you figured out the enemy's strength?"

Wang Changgui said: "There should be a hundred or eighty people, but there are dozens of military trucks."

Zhou Weiguo analyzed: "From west to east, there are dozens of military trucks. Could they be the enemy's transportation team?"

Wang Changgui nodded and said, "Captain Lei and I think so too."

Xu Qingfeng pondered and analyzed: "The enemy's convoy is traveling from west to east, so it should come from He County.

At the moment, the Kunisaki detachment is attacking Pukou. This Japanese and puppet army convoy is most likely the logistics force provided to the Kunisaki detachment. "

"Then shall we vote for him?" Zhou Weiguo asked.

"Of course!" Xu Qingfeng said solemnly: "Although we are unable to attack the main force of the Guozaki detachment in a roundabout way to support the direction of Pukou.

But destroy their transport team.Still no problem.

Besides, we don't carry much food ourselves. Killing this transport team can just replenish some. "

Speaking of this, Xu Qingfeng made a decisive decision: "If you didn't say anything, go fuck yourself!"

"Then give the order!" Zhou Weiguo said.

"Order the guard platoon and communications squad to stay, and the other squadrons will quickly spread out along the road to lay an ambush. When the Japanese enter the ambush circle, they will beat the hell out of them!"

After Xu Qingfeng finished speaking, he told Wang Changgui alone: ​​"Deputy Platoon Commander Wang, go back immediately and inform Lei Xiong, tell him that the reconnaissance platoon should not act rashly and let the enemy convoy come over.

When we attack here, you two will immediately lead the reconnaissance platoon to encircle the enemy from behind, and cooperate with the main force to wipe them out.

Fight against an enemy and never let him go! "

"Yes!" Wang Changgui saluted and immediately left with a scout.

Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo also split into two groups. Xu Qingfeng led the No. 1 Squadron and the Machine Gun Squadron to set up an ambush north of the highway.

Zhou Weiguo led the 2nd and 3rd Squadrons to ambush south of the highway.

Because the Japanese and puppet army convoy was less than three kilometers away from them, there was no time to dig trenches and repair fortifications.

They could only find woods and rocks on both sides of the road to hide and ambush.

However, since it was night, the dark night could provide them with good concealment, so they didn't have to worry about being exposed.

On Lei Xiong's side, after receiving Wang Changgui's notification and the Japanese puppet army convoy passed smoothly, he quickly divided the reconnaissance platoon into two. He and Wang Changgui each led half of the troops and also ambushed along both sides of the road.

Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo were right. The Japanese and puppet convoy discovered by the reconnaissance platoon was indeed a transport convoy.

Because the main force of the Guoqi detachment was exhausted on the front line, after receiving the order, they set off from Hexian overnight to deliver supplies to Pukou.

Since Kunisaki Noboru, an old Japanese soldier, had too few troops left in He County, the Japanese soldiers called on two platoons of puppet troops to accompany them during this supply transportation operation.

Including a small group of Japanese troops, the escort force of this transport convoy totaled more than [-] people.

The leading officer was the second lieutenant and captain of the Japanese squad, Kameda Nishiyama.

Although the guards were a bit weak, from Kameda Nishiyama's point of view, the entire Hexian County to Pukou had long been occupied by the imperial army.

The Chinese army was invincible, and their transportation could not be in danger.

Therefore, when their convoy entered the ambush circle of the Independent Group.

Kameda Nishiyama was still sitting in the passenger seat of a military truck, smoking a cigarette happily and humming a tune.

Behind a big tree more than ten meters away to the north of the road, Xu Qingfeng watched as the devil convoy had entered its ambush range.

He immediately raised his Mauser gun, aimed at the driver's seat of the leading car, and decisively pulled the trigger.

boom!There was a gunshot, and a hot bullet whizzed through the cab glass of the military vehicle, hitting the head of the devil soldier who was driving.

At such a short distance, with the headlights of the ghost behind him shining, a headshot was quite normal for Xu Qingfeng.

Losing the control of the driver, the first Japanese military vehicle suddenly lost control and crashed towards the south of the road.

boom!Finally, it hit a big tree and stopped.

The sound of gunshots was an order, and the officers and soldiers of the independent brigade ambushing on both sides of the road followed suit and pulled the triggers.

In an instant, gunshots erupted on both sides of the entire road, and dazzling tongues of flame shot out one after another.

The Japanese soldier in the co-pilot of the first car was already badly hit. Before he could react, he was shot to pieces by Zhou Weiguo and others who were ambushing him in the south of the road.

Several Japanese and puppet soldiers on the roof of the car were also hit by intensive firepower before they could jump off, and they were shot and fell down one after another. Some even fell from the roof of the car.

The three heavy machine guns, four mortars, and multiple grenade launchers of the machine gun squadron also roared.

The dense rain of bullets and grenades blew up the devil's convoy to pieces.

Many Japanese and puppet troops on trucks were either blown up into the sky, including people and vehicles, or were beaten to bloody sieves by dense rains of bullets.

In this kind of battle, where both firepower and troops are at an absolute disadvantage, and they are suddenly attacked.

The dozens of puppet troops who were originally a ragtag group had no ability to resist at all.

As for the dozens of Japs in the Kameda team, although they were capable of fighting, due to the sudden incident, they were beaten to pieces by the dense rain of bullets fired from both sides before they had time to organize a counterattack.

When the Japanese and puppet troops were most desperate, a salvo of fire was fired.

On both sides of the road, there was a sudden rush of charging horns.

Immediately afterwards, deafening shouts of killing were heard, one after another.

With the help of the flames of the explosion, the remaining Japanese soldiers and puppet troops saw in horror that a large number of national army soldiers, armed with various weapons, were rushing towards them from the woods and grass on the roadside.

"Go! Kill!"

For a moment, the killing sound shook the sky!
The horrified Second Lieutenant Kameda was just about to get out of the car when he was fired upon by a light machine gun, and he was beaten to death on the car door.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the remaining 20 or so Japanese and puppet troops turned around and ran away.

However, before they could run very far, they were ambushed and intercepted by the reconnaissance platoon.

Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and others also brought part of the main force and followed them in pursuit.

Under the attack from front and back, they were all wiped out in no time.

The entire ambush battle, from start to finish, didn't even last 10 minutes.

More than 100 Japanese and puppet troops were all annihilated by the Independence Brigade with their absolute superiority in firepower and troops.
