The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

261 Chapter 4

After Yuan Xinglong left Jing Guoyong, he repeated the instructions of the chief analyst, and found that there are two very important points, one is to use brains in fighting, and the other is to make great contributions in this battle.

Unfortunately, the combat area assigned to the Yuan Xinglong Regiment was Changxing County, the enemy of Changxing. It was the 117th Wing, the main force of the 113th Brigade of the 225th Division of the Japanese Army. mountain guns and 3800 12mm infantry guns).

In addition, in order to respond to the sudden attack of the national army, the 117th Division still has a tank squadron with 1 Type 4 tanks stationed in Changxing.

Because Changxing is the front line of the confrontation between the Japanese army and the national army, its fortifications, bunkers, trenches, etc. are not only very standardized, but also very strong.

Different from other places, the Japanese army in Changxing did not send troops to patrol the controlled area at any time like the Japanese army in other places, but basically huddled in fortifications and bunkers, preventing the attack of the national army at any time.

Yuan Xinglong's "wartime reconnaissance regiment" is not a standard marine regiment, but a light infantry regiment.Obviously, a light infantry regiment that doesn't even have a 75mm mountain cannon or an armored combat vehicle wants to severely damage this turtle hiding in a hard shell, which is a bit whimsical.

Yuan Xinglong felt that his luck was a bit bad.Such an enemy can be taken down by directly sending a marine regiment or marine division, so why scout and harass them?

However, Yuan Xinglong also knew that the superiors had their own considerations, and their mission was to reconnaissance and harass the enemy, and look for opportunities to annihilate the enemy. This was absolutely worthless.

However, Yuan Xinglong is not a person who gives up easily.

21日凌晨3时，袁兴隆带着全团3000余人运动到距长兴县城约10公里的虹星桥镇附近的一片竹林，立即命令临时1营营长、原1连连长郭成先率队对长兴周边乡镇进行侦察。

At 10:225 in the morning, Guo Chengxian returned to Hongxing Bridge one after another. Comparing the map of Changxing, the deployment of the Japanese [-]th Regiment was immediately clear at a glance.

The strength of a regiment of the Japanese army was not all stationed in Changxing County, but distributed in the towns around Changxing, defending Changxing in all directions.

The specific deployment of the Japanese army is as follows: Hongxingqiao in the south has a Japanese army with a strengthened squadron; Yanggongchang in the west also has a Japanese army with a reinforced squadron; and the northeast is close to Taihu Lake and Huzhou, each with 1 Japanese army. A squad of Japanese troops.

The main force of the Japanese army was stationed in Changxing County.

However, no matter which side the Japanese army has complete trenches, fortifications and strong bunkers.It is very difficult to fight down; if you don't fight, you can't reach Changxing City.

"Let's talk about it, what should we do?" Yuan Xinglong recruited all the "battalion commanders" to hold a Zhuge Liang meeting, and work together.

"Hard hitting definitely won't work."

"I think you can sneak attack in the dark."

"This... should be the task of the main force."

A few guys say something to each other, and the main meaning is one: This Changxing is not easy to fight!

"Commander, if we insist on knocking down the bunker, I think it will be very difficult. Because we don't have direct-firing guns and armored vehicles, we can't get close to the bunker, so we won't be able to use many of our methods. However, we You can also think of some ways, such as this Hongxing bridge, the devil's blockhouse is mainly at the entrance of the town facing the south area, if we pass through the side of the town, and then turn back to attack Hongxing bridge, although it is still unrealistic to take down the blockhouse , but it is easier to win the town." Guo Chengxian said.

"What's the use of taking down the town if you can't take down the bunker?" Another person retorted.

"Hehe, Guo Chengxian, I really have you. Okay, let's do it like this." Yuan Xinglong immediately understood Guo Chengxian's meaning, as long as the Hongxing Bridge was taken down, the situation would be opened. "Dead thing", you ignore it, it is of no use at all.If the Japanese dared to attack, what would be the use of bunkers?

Yuan Xinglong saw that there were still some people who hadn't figured it out, so he ignored it, and directly issued an order:

4营1连前往长兴和湖州方向警戒，凡有鬼子向虹星桥方向运动，及时向团部报告其规模、装备以及行军速度，不可惊敌扰敌。4营2、3、4连埋伏在长兴与虹星桥之间，随时准备歼灭长兴前来增援之敌；1营、2营埋伏在湖州与虹星桥之间，准备歼灭湖州方向援敌。3营1连、2连准备突袭虹星桥，3营3连、4连作为全军预备队。

"Haha, the team leader is going to gather around to fight for aid!" After hearing Yuan Xinglong's arrangement, those who didn't understand before also understood.

"Are there any questions?" Yuan Xinglong asked.

"No more." Everyone replied.

"Commander, I have a question." 2 Battalion Commander Chen Guiting said.

"What's the question?" Yuan Xinglong asked back.

"It's good to surround the spot to fight for aid, but what if the devils don't come out?" It turned out that Chen Guiting was worried that his work would be wasted for a while.

"That's a good question. If the devils don't come for reinforcements, it's just a field training for you. But, are you still worried that the two companies of the 3rd Battalion won't be able to take down those bunkers?"

It turned out to be like this.Everyone finally understood that if the devil wanted reinforcements, Yuan Xinglong would surround them; if the devil didn't come out, then slowly build up the bunkers.As long as the National Defense Forces break into Hongxingqiao Town, they can always find the devil's weak point.

At the south gate of Hongxingqiao Town, the devils erected three blockhouses in the shape of "pin", which were built very quickly, half of which were underground, and only half were above the ground.Obviously, the National Defense Forces would not be able to break into the Hongxing Bridge without knocking down this translucent bunker.

However, at the north gate of Hongxing Bridge, the devils only built a blockhouse and a sentry tower about 10 meters high.

An hour later, the 3st Company and 1nd Company of the 2rd Battalion, led by Battalion Commander Xie Yuyao, came to a dense forest outside the north gate of Hongxing Bridge.

Changxing was also occupied by the Japanese army in history, but later it was the seat of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Military Region of the New Fourth Army.There are no big mountains in Changxing, but there are many forests and bamboo forests, and they are all large areas, because the cover of these trees is very conducive to the movement of troops.When the devils occupied Changxing, they could actually only control large towns and major traffic arteries. But for the wartime reconnaissance regiment, a light infantry regiment without heavy weapons, the devils could not control it at all, because there were countless trails to pass or bypass.

"What do you two think?" Xie Yuyao asked after watching the two company commanders observe with binoculars.

"The devil's bunker has gun holes and blast holes in three directions. In addition, there should be fortifications built on the top of the bunker. This is a bit like a hedgehog. It's not easy to fight." The 1st company commander said.

"Commander, I thought of a way," the second company commander glanced at the first company commander, and then said, "We can use these bamboos to make bamboo rollers with a diameter of about one meter, and the soldiers can push the bamboo rollers forward. .”

"Okay! That's a good idea! Make a few more bamboo rollers and roll out at the same time, so that the devils don't know which one to aim at! In addition, gather all the machine guns of the two companies and block the guns and guns of the bunker. At the same time, they blocked the exit of the town to prevent a devil from coming out; the mortars of the two companies were ready to bombard the top of the bunker at any time to prevent the Japanese army from establishing a position on the bunker!" Yuan Xinglong said all the tactics he thought of in one breath come out.

"In addition, our mortars can also fire smoke grenades in front of the bunker to hinder the devil's shooting or shelling." The 1st company commander added.

"Okay, let's act now." With a mature idea, Xie Yuyao also became excited.

Bamboo, although the inside is hollow, but its bamboo fiber is very tough, a bullet can penetrate one bamboo or two bamboos, but it is very difficult to penetrate three bamboos.For a bamboo roller with a diameter of 1 meter, how many bamboos should it be thick, at least 20? Moreover, the bamboo roller is rolling forward. a place.Therefore, it is almost impossible for the devil to penetrate the bamboo roller.

The reason why this strategy is feasible is that the devil's engineering experts helped a lot.Perhaps, in the opinion of devil engineer experts, the semi-underground bunker is very strong and can effectively prevent heavy artillery attacks.However, because its muzzle and muzzle are too low (less than one meter from the ground), if you shoot it higher, the bullet will fly into the sky; if you shoot it lower, the bullet will go into the mud again. Therefore, Xie Yuyao’s The method just happened to restrain the devil.

Except for the soldiers in charge of security, other soldiers were cutting bamboo to make bamboo rollers. After an hour, six bamboo rollers with a diameter of 1.2 meters and weighing four to five hundred catties were finally completed.

"Da da da..." At exactly 12 o'clock in the noon, the Japanese soldiers in the bunker were preparing to have lunch, when suddenly there was a violent machine gun from the bamboo forest facing them.

"Enemy attack——" The devil reacted quickly, immediately put down the bowl, set up the gun, and began to observe.

However, in the open space at a distance of 200 meters, there was no one except for a few slowly moving bamboo rollers.The devil observed for a long time before finding all three machine gun positions in the bamboo forest.

"Quickly, fire at the bamboo roller. Behind the bamboo roller is the Chinese army!" The ghost team leader finally guessed the secret of the bamboo roller.

"Da da da..." The devil's machine gun also rang out, but as soon as the machine gun fired, a devil screamed "ah", and was hit by the bullets fired from the bamboo forest.

"Deal with the machine guns of the Shina Army first!" the devil squad leader ordered.

"Ouch—" Before the team leader's words hit the ground, another ghost machine gunner took a gun.In this case, the shot was either on the face or the head, which was definitely a serious injury.

"Quick, quick, grenade launcher, get on—" Seeing that two machine gunners were injured in an instant, the leader of the devil squad immediately greeted the new weapon.

However, under the blockade of up to 20 machine guns of the National Defense Forces, even if the devil's grenade was fired, it lost its usual accuracy.

"Puff, puff, puff..." The advancing bamboo roller was shot by the devil's machine gun from time to time, but the bullets hitting the bamboo roller could not hurt the soldiers of the National Defense Forces behind the bamboo roller at all.

"Boom boom boom—" the mortars of the National Defense Forces began to fire smoke bombs, and this time, the devil's shooting became even less threatening.
