Chapter 385: Unyielding
The infantry company in the defense city is leaderless, this kind of garrison in the county town, in fact, the symbolic meaning is greater, this company belongs to the Gui army Xia Wei department, the level of equipment is higher, but the company commander fled, the entire company lost its command.
Lin Asan, the captain of the Civil Defense Brigade who learned of the situation, took the initiative to take the command of the infantry company, and let the infantry company and the civil defense brigade form a temporary resistance force in the defense of the city, and the grassroots soldiers of the infantry company are still bloody.
Although there were many who escaped secretly, most of them stayed under the organization of several squad leaders.
"Let's go! Go out! ”
Lin Asan exercised his command authority and organized the defenders in the city to go out, he didn't know the special command terms, he could only use words like go to command his subordinates, but it didn't matter, the brothers under him knew that the situation was urgent, and they couldn't be delayed, so they went out one after another.
In addition to the soldiers of the infantry company, most of the members of the civil defense brigade are locals of the city, and they also hope to reduce the casualties caused by the war to the city, and there are their relatives and family businesses in the city, and there are ancestral houses on which they live.
This team, with the same goal, seems to be extremely united.
The source of the chaos in the city was the attack of the Japanese army, and in Guangxi and Guangdong, where the people were fierce and full of guns, it was almost impossible for the Japanese army to act covertly.
The Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, the Taiwan Mixed Brigade and the attached artillery units landed at Qinzhou Bay on 15 November, and then began to attack, and on 16 November they captured Qinzhou.
It was the troops of the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division that came, and the brigade commander Masao Nakamura and his 21st Brigade became the vanguard of the road, and the 42nd Wing went straight to the defense of the city, of course, it was impossible for a single wing to concentrate all its forces to fight a county town.
Fangcheng is only one of the objectives of the 42nd Wing, and the second brigade of the 42nd Wing is assigned to Fangcheng. The rise of the second brigade of killing, encountered a lot of resistance along the way, all of them were disintegrated, and after the disintegration, there was crazy revenge and burning, and almost all the villages where they went were spared.
As long as there is resistance, there will be repression and burning, which is the strategy of their march this time.
The 2nd Brigade of the 42nd Wing is approaching the defense city, and a fierce battle with a huge disparity in strength is about to begin.
The two sides were the local defenders and civilian housing brigades in Fangcheng, and the 2nd Brigade of the 12th Wing of the 21st Infantry Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army.
Comparison of strength: Lin A three more than 530 people, automatic firearms have three Guangxi-made Czech light machine guns, rifles have more than 50 German-made Mauser rifles, and the rest have a small number of 79 rifles, the model has Hanyang-made, Yuannian-style, Zhejiang-made 77 rifles, hundreds of various colors of earthen guns, broadsword spears, plus a Franco machine and an earthen cannon.
The Second Brigade of the 42nd Wing, with more than 800 people, was fully equipped with two 92 infantry guns, and a rapid-fire artillery squad reinforced from the Wing, equipped with two Type 94 37 rapid-fire guns, with sufficient ammunition for rifle machine guns, and was well-equipped.
In such a situation of strength comparison, a fierce battle quietly began. The second brigade fought a lot of local armed forces along the road, and the casualties paid were about a dozen people, and these armed forces along the road, because they were not organized, were quickly broken by the second brigade, and the second brigade slowly became accustomed to these "rabble" who were constantly harassing. ”
In the process of advancing towards the defense city, not enough pathfinders were discharged, but with the strength of one squadron in front, the whole captain drove straight forward.
"Third brother, the brothers have all hidden, and those who went to touch the wind were also sent out." In the grass outside the city, Lin Asan's men and horses had already completed concealment.
Many of these people make a living by hunting, and there are a lot of mountains and grassy vegetation in this area, which is also an excellent place to shelter, they don't know strategy and tactics, but they all know that there is no good fruit to eat if they fight hard with the Japanese, and their only choice is to play their strengths and avoid weaknesses and play the tactics they are most familiar with.
"Okay, let the brethren pay attention to concealment, report the situation immediately, listen to my order, hold the fire, and set up our cannons." Lin Asan said.
Lin Asan had never fought with the Japanese army, and his only war experience was to fight a few times with bandits, and he knew that the capital in his hand was not enough, so he could only take out the most powerful earth cannon and Franc machine to increase the power of the attack.
Lin Asan's subordinates set up earthen cannons and franc machines according to his orders, raised the guns in their hands, and grabbed broadswords and spears without guns.
They knew that they could not retreat, because behind them was the defense city, which was their home.
The vanguard squadron of the 2nd Brigade was careful, and the light enemy of the brigade did not affect their arrangement.
The vanguard squadron sent search detachments and vanguard platoons to search and advance.
Slowly, the figure of the Japanese soldier gradually appeared in the eyes of Lin Ahsan and his men.
Lin Asan clenched the Guangxi Provincial rifle in his hand and aimed at the Japanese soldiers as if he were aiming at his prey while hunting.
He doesn't know anything else, only that he has to fight.
The Japanese forward detachment of more than a dozen people scattered around to search, and the Japanese forward detachment was very sophisticated, and a dozen people not only searched on the road, but also did not let go of the vegetation on both sides, and poked them with bayonets.
Behind them were the vanguard squadron of the 2nd Brigade and even the main force of the Brigade.
The squadmen and soldiers hidden in the vegetation on both sides had sharp ears, and the voices coming from behind could not hide from them.
Lin Asan was also a little panicked, seeing that the Japanese search team was about to go to the front, and the civil defense brigade would definitely not be able to escape and be discovered if it hid in the grass.
When it is broken, it is broken! Lin Asan can't fight, but at this time, there is no way to do it.
All he could think of was to see the Japanese soldiers beat them hard, beat them, drag the Japanese soldiers outside the city, and prevent their relatives and homes from being damaged!
He put the Japanese vanguard on the crosshair of his rifle and pulled the trigger like a rabbit.
With a muffled sound, the bullet accurately hit the head of the Japanese forward soldier, killing him instantly.
"Hit!"
Lin Asan's signal was the signal for all to open fire, and a round of Orion's accurate platoon guns hit past, and the Japanese detachment in the vanguard was almost completely annihilated.
"Kill!" The forward detachment was attacked, and the open road squadron of the 2nd Brigade reacted quickly and launched a counterattack, launching an assault charge against the attacking civil defence units.
Machine gun fire and grenadier fire began to increase, causing a large number of casualties to the Civil Defense Forces.
"Hit, fire!"
The battle was transformed from an ambush to a field offensive and defensive battle, with the Japanese firing, deploying, and charging.
With two loud bangs, a Franc machine and an earthen cannon under Lin Asan opened fire, and a puff of black smoke came out of the muzzle.
The shells and iron balls fired by the Francophone and the earthen cannon inflicted the greatest casualties on the attacking Japanese forward squadron since the landing, and many Japanese soldiers were hit and fell to the ground, howling.
"Good!"
There was a burst of cheers in the grass, and the Civil Defense Force men fought even more fiercely, and they also paid the price of dozens of casualties in the battle just now.
The marksmanship and firepower of the Civil Defense Forces attracted the attention of the Japanese troops, and the regular soldiers in the ranks and the light machine guns they carried were fierce.
In this team that fought with the Japanese army, there were many rifles and even light machine guns and artillery fire!
The captain of the 2nd Brigade once suspected that this was the regular army of the National Army, with light machine guns and artillery fire, and a large number of people.
The commander of the 2nd Brigade ordered the whole brigade to attack, and the infantry artillery and rapid-fire guns bombarded it in turn, forming a battle formation and attacking it.
After all, the arms could not twist the thighs, under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, Lin Ah San's civil defense brigade suffered casualties, and the team members and soldiers below Lin Ah San used the inferior equipment in their hands to engage in white-knuckle combat with the Japanese army, shedding the last drop of blood in front of their homeland, and fulfilled their duties.
The Fangcheng Civil Defense Brigade was almost completely wiped out, and the Japanese army was held up outside the defense for two hours, and the Japanese army paid the price of dozens of deaths, and the losses were very large.
The second brigade, annoyed and angry, took a terrible revenge on the defense city, the place where the resistance was most fierce......
