Chapter 425: The Second Regiment Wins

The gap in the city wall instantly became the focus of contention between the three regiments and the little devils, as long as there was a breakthrough on the city wall, they would be able to break into the city of Heshun County. However, the soldiers of the three companies of the commando had already suffered more than half of the casualties after two strong attacks, and the fortifications that the little devils had just built in the gap in the city wall posed a great threat to the commandos.

By the light of the fire, Hu Guoshan saw through the telescope that the assault company retreated again.

"Let the mortars be aimed at the little devils' fortifications in the gap in the city wall, and blow them up for me!" Hu Guoshan said to a communications soldier beside him.

"Boom Boom"

The mortar aimed at the gap that had just been blown up with the flying thunder cannon, and the little devils guarding the gap were instantly killed and wounded, and the Japanese firepower of the gap in the city wall weakened and disappeared, and the remnants of the assault team attacked the gap in the city wall again.

The attack went smoothly and successfully occupied the gap in the city wall, but the little devil had already prepared another fortification not far from the gap in the city wall, and the dozen or so soldiers who had just rushed into the city were instantly beaten into a sieve by the little devil's machine gun.

"Order the mortar to carry out artillery fire extension!"

Hu Guoshan also thought that the little devil would arrange this hand for them, and immediately ordered the mortar fire to be extended to blow up the little devil's fortifications in the city. The assault team again occupied the gap in the wall and finally held the gap in the wall under the cover of artillery fire.

However, the artillery of the little devils was not vegetarian, and they also launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the gap in the city wall, and only about 30 wounded soldiers of the three companies of the assault team finally left the battlefield alive.

The battle for the gap in the city wall has been going on, and the soldiers have occupied the gap desperately, and the shelling of the little devils has ushered in, and the little devils have occupied the gap again. Hu Guoshan ordered the mortars to flee the Japanese army again, and the gap in the city wall changed hands again, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, the forces of the little devils were transferred to the city wall, and the second squadron of the special combat team lurking in the city took action.

The 2nd Squadron of the Special Operations Team was divided into three squads and went to three different places. The first place is, of course, the top priority in Heshun County-the arsenal, but the second squadron leader doesn't want to blow up the arsenal of the little devils, after all, after the three regiments of Heshun County are breached, they need a lot of supplies, and once the arsenal is breached, the little devils will definitely mess up.

The second place is the little devil artillery that poses the greatest threat to the three regiments, in order to allow the three regiments to enter the city smoothly, the artillery position of the little devils must be destroyed, otherwise even if the three regiments can break through the city wall, the casualties after entering the city are very huge.

The third place is the little devil's railway station in Heshun County, the railway station is the place where materials are transferred, in order to attack Taihang Mountain, the Japanese army has transported a large number of materials from all directions have not had time to transport to the front line, so a lot of materials have been hoarded at the railway station.

Just when the third regiment and the little devil were desperately fighting for the position of the gap in the city wall, the soldiers of a small detachment of the special combat team quietly sneaked behind the little devil's artillery position, and the little devil didn't think that there were enemy personnel infiltrating the county town.

Under the leadership of the detachment leader, more than a dozen grenades were thrown into the artillery position of the little devil, and with the sound of violent explosions, the artillery on the position of the little devil was blown into scrap metal, and the body of the little devil was also carried into the sky by the air wave generated by the explosion.

The violent explosion came from a long distance, and the little devils who were guarding the city wall were all shocked by the explosion.

Hu Guoshan only smiled lightly when he heard the explosion, he knew that the special combat team had infiltrated the city and cooperated with their actions. Under the cover of mortars, the soldiers of the third regiment attacked the gap in the city wall on the whole line, and in only half an hour, Hu Guoshan led the main force of the third regiment to successfully attack the county seat.

After more than three hours of fierce fighting above the city wall, more than 200 Japanese troops retreated into the county town and prepared to fight street battles with the soldiers of the third regiment. Soldiers of the special operations team also occupied the county seat and the railway station. Hu Guoshan sent a company of soldiers to rescue more than 5,000 strong men and prisoners of war held in Heshun County.

"I didn't expect your captain to be really face-saving, this time thanks to the help of your special combat team, otherwise our three regiments wouldn't know how many brothers would be killed or injured!" Hu Guoshan saw the second squadron leader and said with a smile.

"Captain Hu is polite, we are all brothers in our own family, and it is appropriate to help each other, and we will see the outside world when we say these words!" The second squadron leader saluted Hu Guoshan and said.

"But I still have to ask your second squadron leader for a favor!" Hu Guoshan said to the leader of the second squadron, "There are still more than 200 little devils in the county, and the soldiers of our third regiment have really too little experience in street fighting, and I hope that your special combat team can help!" ”

The second squadron leader thought for a while and said to Hu Guoshan: "Commander Hu, there is no problem in helping, but the soldiers of our special combat team are not very manpower, and we need your third regiment to send a battalion of troops to assist us." ”

"This is no problem, not to mention one battalion, three battalions will do!"

Hu Guoshan knew that fighting in the streets might cost them more than one or two battalions for their inexperience.

"Commander Hu, don't be in a hurry to agree, I have a request, the soldiers of this battalion must each have a submachine gun, otherwise I can't guarantee that they can all end the battle alive!" Street fighting is not only a test of individual combat ability, but also a test of cooperation between troops.

Obviously, the coordination of the fighters of the three regiments cannot be changed in a short time, but the firepower can at least be strengthened.

"Okay, I'll do it for you!"

In about 10 minutes, Hu Guoshan assigned a battalion of troops to the commander of the second squadron, and each soldier had a submachine gun in his hand, and these submachine guns were deployed from each battalion to strengthen the battalion.

"Each warrior leads three warriors, act immediately!" The second squadron leader commanded his fighters.

Seeing that the special combat team had already moved, Hu Guoshan immediately ordered Zhao Caizhu: "Old Zhao, you quickly take the soldiers to block the gaps in the city wall and the city gate with sandbags, and order the soldiers to clean up the battlefield immediately, we may have to live here for a while." ”

Zhao Caizhu understands that capturing Heshun County does not mean that the matter is complete, once they evacuate, the little devil will immediately reoccupy it, and the little devil's communication line is still unimpeded, so he has discussed it with Hu Guoshan, what they have to do is to hold on, as for how long they can hold it, no one can say.

Hu Guoshan went to see the strong men and prisoners of war captured by the little devils, and at the moment of crisis, of course he would not let these strong men and prisoners of war go. So Hu Guoshan showed them the impassioned speech that Hu Guoshan was not good at in history, from national righteousness to personal hatred, moving with emotion and reasoning, and then making some promises.

In the end, Hu Guoshan explained the situation clearly to these people, if they want to survive, they must follow their three regiments, once they leave Heshun County, the little devil's troops will immediately round them up, and the possibility of survival will not be beaten.

The third regiment has an additional 5,000 combat strength, although 90 percent of these 5,000 combat strength have no military training, and 80 percent of them cannot shoot, but the little devils have enough ammunition and materials in Heshun County, which is enough for them to squander.

More than 5,000 people were divided into ten battalions by Hu Guoshan, and each battalion arranged a platoon of soldiers to be responsible for training them first for the rest of the time, and the content of the training was also very simple, that is, shooting, and obviously the burning sticks in their hands became guns that could kill and injure the enemy. As for grenades, the way to use this thing is even simpler than rifles, so after two hours, the three regiments have five thousand more reserves.

As for such advanced things as grenadiers and artillery, of course, the artillery of the third regiment took over.

In the end, Hu Guoshan counted the materials in Heshun County, which was enough for the three regiments to spend a month.

However, Jin Sanshan and the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion did not enter the city after receiving Hu Guoshan's order, because Jin Sanshan thought that their role in staying in the periphery was still relatively large.

Before dawn, there were still gunshots in Heshun County, and the soldiers of the special combat team took the soldiers of the three regiments to fight with the little devils again, and the soldiers equipped with submachine guns had fierce firepower, compared with the little devils with rifles, the soldiers of the three regiments had an overwhelming firepower advantage.

But the battle in Heshun County lasted until dawn, and half of the soldiers were killed or wounded in a battalion of the three regiments participating in the battle, but there was a hospital for the little devils in the county, and the entire hospital, including doctors and nurses, became prisoners of the three regiments, and the little devils' medical skills really didn't say.

As for the direction of Beitai Peak, it was not until dawn that the soldiers returned to their positions, and only the cavalry battalion of the second regiment returned in formation. The Japanese army had been completely defeated by the Second Regiment, and although the soldiers who had been running all night were covered with dirt and fatigue, everyone had a smile on their faces.

It was not until nine o'clock in the morning that all the soldiers of the second regiment returned to the establishment, although the second regiment won the victory, but the losses of the second regiment were not small, except for the cavalry, more than half of the casualties of each battalion and company, but the formation was still there. In the end, the 2nd Regiment even captured 2,000 Japanese soldiers, which Li Weimin did not expect.

"Although the little devil was defeated by us, the little devil still has a strong strength, we can't underestimate it, each battalion and company still has to arrange the matter of standing guard and patrolling!"

Li Weimin admonished the officers at all levels under his command.

The second regiment had achieved a great victory, and no one knew about it except themselves, and no one cheered for them. The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment simply carried the wounded soldiers into the hospital and then buried their comrades who died in battle. There was no revelry on the battlefield, only silence and the lingering smoke of gunpowder in the distance.

"Regiment commander, the communications soldiers of the third regiment are here!" A soldier walked into the command headquarters with three regiments of communications soldiers.

"Oh? Tell me how your three regiments are doing now? ”

In the past few days, Li Weimin has inquired about the situation of other troops, but in addition to their second regiment, the other units of the 33rd Independent Division are either surrounded, or they do not know where they are hiding, and they cannot be contacted at all.
