Chapter 274: Take Xiyang

The sound of "bang bang bang" gunfire is getting clearer and clearer, and it is becoming more and more sparse, and at this time, there are still more than a dozen little devils above the city wall who are defending with the fortifications that take care of it. The space above the city wall was narrow, and Ma Wanzhong led his troops to attack several times without killing the last dozen or so little devils, and there were seven or eight brothers who took a battalion.

Liao Fan entered the city with the remaining troops, and saw that there was still a fierce battle above the city wall: "What's the matter with Ma Wanzhong, just a few little devils, why hasn't the battle ended yet?" ”

"Brother Fan, the little devil hid in the fortifications and didn't come out, the brothers didn't have heavy weapons, they rushed twice just now, and they lost eight brothers." Ma Wanzhong was also impatient, they didn't have heavy weapons, so they could only rely on the soldiers to blast with explosives packets, but they slapped two groups of soldiers up, and they were all killed by the little devils.

"Order a company to stay here and watch the little devil," Liao Fan glanced at the fortifications in front of him, and did not give any more orders to continue the assault, their purpose had been reached tonight, "The second battalion immediately went to the arsenal and warehouse of the little devil, and the third battalion went to the little devil's barracks and headquarters, and took away everything that could be taken away, and there was less fire that could not be taken away." ”

"Yes! A company stayed to keep an eye on the little devils on the city wall, if they dared to show their heads, they would shoot directly, and the rest would act immediately according to Brother Fan's orders. Ma Wanzhong passed the order to the three battalion commanders under his command.

"The first battalion and the second company were responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and the third company took care of the wounded and immediately returned to the station." Liao Fan looked at the remaining troops on the side, and came out of the first battalion, the remaining two companies, and a squadron of the special combat team.

After the two companies left, the soldiers of the special combat team tightly guarded Liao Fan's surroundings, although the county seat of Xiyang was defeated by their surprise, but there were still unstable factors, no one could say that there were still little devils in other parts of the county who had not exposed their targets, especially the puppet army that had not yet appeared, which made the soldiers of the special combat team dare not be careless about Liao Fan's safety.

However, Liao Fan did not arrange all the tasks: "The first squadron leader, send soldiers to contact Commander Hu and Deputy Commander Zhao to retreat after half an hour, and then send a group of soldiers to investigate whether the little devil who entered Taihang Mountain is already on the way back, remember to find out the marching degree of the little devil." ”

After Liao Fan arranged all the tasks, looking at the gate of the county seat that was still smoking, he didn't feel that there were many achievements, although it was definitely a great achievement to be able to win a county seat in the hands of the little devil behind the enemy, but Liao Fan They couldn't hold it at all, Xiyang County is the transportation artery of Jinxi after all, and a large amount of coal from the little devil will be transported through the railway in Jinxi, and the little devil will definitely try his best to take back Xiyang County.

"Follow the rest to the factories in the city." Liao Fan said to the soldiers beside him.

The squadron leader of the special combat team immediately stepped forward to stop: "Brother Fan, the city is too dangerous, we haven't cleared the little devils on the city wall, maybe there are other little devils in the county, in case we are ambushed, there is no way to guarantee your safety." ”

"I ......" Liao Fan didn't expect that he would lose his personal freedom as soon as he returned to Taihang Mountain, and Liao Fan also understood the caution of the captain of the special combat team, but he just couldn't get used to it, and there were people around him who protected him all the time, which made Liao Fan feel like a three-year-old child.

Liao Fan had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, as the squadron leader of the special combat team said, there may still be this Japanese army lurking in the county, the second and third battalions on the mission, have a numerical advantage, the little devils will definitely not rashly attack them, Liao Fan has only more than fifty soldiers of the special combat team around him, although he is not worried that the little devils will eat them, but fighting street battles, these soldiers have no experience at all, street fighting and beach grabbing 6 are the most sacrificial battles in all operations, Liao Fan does not want to sacrifice the soldiers around him in this place for no reason, Especially to sacrifice to protect him.

Just when Liao Fan was helpless, Ma Wanzhong rushed back to the city gate with a squad of soldiers: "Brother Fan, what do you see we found?" ”

A squad of soldiers behind Ma Wanzhong was dragging a cannon towards the city gate, looking at the cannon behind him, before Liao Fan could reply, Ma Wanzhong showed off: "Brother Fan, we have taken down the arsenal of the little devils, there are twelve such cannons in it, and there are countless munitions. ”

"Find two artillerymen and blast the little devils on the city wall first." Liao Fan looked at the cannon pulled by the soldiers as a ninety-nine mountain cannon for little devils, this cannon is a sharp weapon for field warfare, but it is very suitable to deal with little devils at this time.

"Brother Fan, you want to go with me." Ma Wanzhong grinned, just now more than a dozen little devils on the city wall made a battalion suffer with strong fortifications, Ma Wanzhong always held his breath in his heart, but he didn't expect that when he went to the little devil's arsenal, there were more than a dozen cannons, which had to be used to blow up the little devils.

With the help of the artillery, the soldiers set up the cannons, and hit the bunker of the little devils is a cannon, and more than a dozen little devils who shrank in the fortifications died tragically on the spot.

"Brother Fan, can you give this artillery to our regiment, and you won't need the artillery support of the artillery battalion to fight the little devils in the future." After Ma Wanzhong saw the power of the 99-type mountain cannon, he liked this cannon more and more.

"Of course there is no problem, let the artillerymen disassemble all the guns and carry them back, when the time comes, there will be no regiment equipped with two such guns, and I will send you artillery again, but the artillery is lent to you, and you will have to pay it back when the time comes." Since the end of the last battle, the artillery battalion exists in name only, there are soldiers without artillery, there are artillery without ammunition, this time to fight Xiyang County, the only remaining family funds have also been consumed, Liao Fan needs to rebuild the artillery battalion, so for the arms in the arsenal of the little devil, he would rather choose not to have guns, but must remove all the guns in the arsenal.

After understanding Liao Fan's thoughts, Ma Wanzhong looked at Liao Fan in surprise, the howitzers, mountain artillery and mortars in this arsenal are enough to equip an artillery regiment, and it really takes time to move away, but the little devil did not leave them enough time to slowly move the little devil.

Looking at the surprised Ma Wanzhong, Liao Fan immediately guessed his thoughts: "The howitzer is too heavy, we only need mortars and mountain artillery, and tell the soldiers that everyone can't leave their hands empty, and take everything they can take away." ”

As long as this crisis is resolved, with this batch of munitions, the 33rd Independent Division will quickly grow stronger, in fact, the artillery, after Liao Jundong returns to Taihang Mountain, the artillery will also be back on the right track, and if the little devils enter Taihang Mountain again in the future, they will have to weigh whether they have this strength.

"Report to Brother Fan, regiment commander, we captured a group of puppet soldiers, and according to their regiment commander, they didn't fire a single shot when we attacked the county seat." The third battalion commander walked up to Liao Fan and Ma Wanzhong with a pseudo-army commander.

is soft-hearted to Chinese compatriots Liao Fan, even if they surrendered and became traitors, Liao Fan does not think that all of them are bad, and many people are forced to be lackeys of little devils.

"Sir, when you attacked the city just now, we didn't stop it, I hope you can spare more than a thousand brothers under me, they were also forced to embark on this road in desperation, as for me, you can dispose of it at will." After speaking, the puppet regiment commander took out the matching gun on his waist and handed it to Liao Fan, this gun is not a little devil's gun, it is a gun for the regiment commander, judging from the gun, this regiment commander used to be at least the Central Army instead of the Jingsui Army.

looked at the thin pseudo-army commander in front of him, his face was angular, and there was a sense of justice between his eyebrows, but this justice was not covered by his frowning brows.

"I won't kill you, and I won't embarrass you." Liao Fan didn't mean to embarrass the puppet army, "But I'm afraid you won't be able to get along with the little devils, you should also know the methods of the little devils, once the little devils know that you are passive and sluggish, you and your brothers may not have a way to live, not long ago they just buried alive the soldiers of a regiment of the puppet army." ”

Of course, the thin puppet army commander also knew that after the Japanese army failed to attack Taihang Mountain, he attributed most of the responsibility for the defeat to the passive slackness of the puppet army, and just returned from the withdrawal of the army from Taihang Mountain, he buried more than 1,000 puppet soldiers alive on trumped-up charges, which made the puppet army who had taken refuge in the Japanese trembling and trembling, for fear of doing something wrong, so that the little devil would be caught, and then he and his brothers were killed by the little devil.

But this thin pseudo-army commander doesn't seem to care about this passive slack, and he doesn't seem to care more about the little devils who will kill them.

"The last time I was buried alive by the little devil was my regiment commander, during that time I happened to be sent out to carry out a mission, and I escaped a catastrophe, this gun is also from our regiment commander's gun, I am just a small company commander under his hand." The thin puppet commander gently stroked the gun in his hand, as if he had it with an old friend.

"I don't have time to listen to your past story at first, and if you're willing to come with me, I'd love to hear you finish it." Liao Fan's troops are too short of officers, for the puppet army that can take the initiative to surrender, Liao Fan still feels that he can use it for himself, but Liao Fan does not believe the story that the puppet army commander made up for him, as for whether his identity is true, he can slowly check it when he arrives in a safe place, but a thousand puppet troops are a thousand combat effectiveness, Liao Fan can completely supplement these puppet troops to three regiments, after training, these puppet troops can be used better than recruits.

Of course, the thin puppet regiment commander understood the meaning of what Liao Fan said: "The former captain and company commander of the 778th Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army will report to the commander in his name." ”

"Commander Zhi, I urgently need manpower to help carry supplies, your regiment is temporarily led by you to help carry arms from the small devil arsenal, but because you have just surrendered, I must temporarily send soldiers to watch you." Liao Fan didn't want this group of puppet troops to drag them back from their backs.

"Understood, sir!" Zhi Zhengming put away his matching gun again.
