Chapter 373: Shelling of the Japanese Headquarters in Taiyuan (Part I)
The first to fire was all the fighters with shell guns. The barge gun that was transferred to the state of continuous fire, in the hands of all the combat team leaders, was like a light machine gun, and shot a dense rain of bullets into the group of little devils, knocking down the little devils in front of them one by one in a pool of blood.
At the same time, the snipers of the special operations brigade who were ambushed behind a piece of artillery also pulled the trigger of the rifle in their hands at the same time. In an instant, several squadron leaders of the army who were still waving the command knives in their hands just now, shouting at the soldiers to prepare for battle. Under the precise blow of the sniper, they fell in a pool of blood.
And until this time, in the midst of the flying bullets, looking at the soldiers who had just drunk with themselves, their compatriots fell in pools of blood. Those little devils who were sitting on the ground, already drunk, realized that something was wrong and wanted to stand up and resist. However, they were drunk, and they lost the command of the commander, so it can be said that they have no room to fight back, and they can only make a mess of porridge.
In the face of the dense rain of bullets, more than a thousand little devils can do all they can do is to scurry back and forth on their own positions, shouting and shouting. However, the dense rain of bullets did not let them go, and one after another, deadly bullets, as if they had eyes, were shot into their bodies mercilessly. Even some of the little devils, still awake, hid in the crowd and wanted to shoot at the fighters.
However, as soon as they fired a bullet, the flames that erupted from the muzzle of their guns had already exposed their position to the eyes of the snipers hiding in the shadows. Nearly 100 snipers who were ambushed around mercilessly fired accurate bullets into their bodies.
At the same time that the main force of the special operations brigade led by the political commissar launched a surprise attack, the first squad, which had been quietly guarding not far from the entrance of the army position, also launched an attack at the same time.
Faced with two heavy machine-gun positions at the entrance of the barracks, the well-trained special combat personnel certainly would not trade their lives for victory. Just when the first shots were fired from the garrison of the enemy's artillery wing, the six grenadiers that were already prepared for each squad of the special operations group fired a grenade at the two heavy machine-gun positions at the entrance of the enemy's barracks at the same time.
"Boom, boom, boom" Six continuous explosions sounded, and the two heavy machine gun positions at the entrance of the barracks and a dozen or so little devils around them. In an instant, it was engulfed in a fireball from the explosion of six grenades. At the same time, more than 100 special combat personnel shot an impenetrable rain of bullets at the entrance of the barracks. The first squad of more than a dozen snipers is ambushed on the commanding heights at the entrance of the barracks, shooting at any time, all targets that threaten their comrades.
"Comrades, rush over" saw two heavy machine-gun positions that had been completely covered by artillery fire, and looked at the entrance of the enemy's barracks, which were completely controlled by their own snipers. The first squad leader did not hesitate and immediately ordered the team to charge.
The final result was not surprising, under the cover of the accurate marksmanship of a dozen snipers, more than 100 special combat personnel rushed to the door of the barracks and eliminated the defenders of a small squad guarding the door. More than 100 special combat personnel gave dozens of little devils at the gate of the barracks, and each of them made up a bayonet. In addition to leaving two combat groups to guard the entrance of the barracks to prevent enemy reinforcements. The rest of the team, led by the squad leader, also joined the battle in the barracks.
The sound of dense gunfire, the screams of the little devils, the explosion of grenades immediately became a chorus on the enemy's artillery positions. Under the intensive rain of bullets and strafing by several hundred special combat personnel, the Yue army, which had already been surrounded, could be said to have fallen in a pool of blood in patches, and there was no room for a counterattack
In the end, the 1,843 little devils on the entire artillery position, under the siege of more than 600 special combat personnel, it can be said that there was almost no room for counterattack, and they were all wiped out by the soldiers of the two squadrons. Less than five minutes later, in front of the soldiers, there were only piles of bonfires that had not yet burned out and the wounded little devils lying in pools of blood and still wailing
"Commissar, that's it. This is more than a thousand little devils, just like that, we have eliminated them" Looking at the corpses of the little devils next to each other in front of him, as well as the little devils who kept squirming in the middle of the corpses and made bursts of wailing from time to time, Wang Hong, the first squadron leader who came to the side of the political commissar Luo Zhi, looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
"Captain Wang, Captain Meng, I can't believe it, the little devils of nearly 2,000 people, we solved it in five minutes. Hehe, maybe we're lucky! Let these little devils all gather together, and without any defense, they are all still drunk. Don't talk about this, order the soldiers to clean up the battlefield immediately, or the old rules. We made such a big commotion just now, maybe the little devil's reinforcements are already on the way. Political Commissar Luo Zhi also looked at the battlefield in front of him dumbfounded. A loud command.
"Yes, Commissar" The two took the order and left. Soon, a special combat member, holding a rifle with a good bayonet, began to mend a bayonet on the corpse of every little devil in front of him. At the same time, the political commissar was not idle, and immediately came to the radio station with the team, preparing to send a report to the captain Liu Xiaogang.
And just when the special combat team members led by the political commissar fired the first shot, hundreds of team members led by the team leader had also lurked in the offensive position. However, because the patrol of the Yue army was so densely arranged, a squadron of more than 300 people could only approach a place less than 500 meters away from the headquarters of the Yue army, and it really could not move any further.
However, the sound of gunfire from the artillery position did Liu Xiaogang a great favor. Hearing the gunfire coming from the artillery position of the Yue Army, Liu Xiaogang immediately knew that it was the political commissar who had launched an attack. Just when he was about to order the more than 300 special combat soldiers behind him to carry out a strong attack, an accident happened. A squadron of gendarmerie troops, led by a young man, quickly rushed towards him. However, just after the more than 300 special combat personnel had all hid in the courtyard next to the alley, the military police of this squadron quickly passed through the place where they had just stopped and ran towards the artillery position a few miles away.
It turned out that when the gunfire came from the artillery wing, the captain of the military police brigade, who was on guard duty in Taiyuan tonight, immediately reacted immediately. The gendarmes of a squadron around the headquarters were ordered to immediately go and investigate the situation. However, what the captain of the Zhongzuo Brigade did not expect was that it was because of the departure of a military police squadron that Liu Xiaogang, who was hiding around the headquarters, found a breakthrough to attack the headquarters of the army.
"Captain, a military police squadron should be going to reinforce their artillery wing, and now in front of us, there is only half a squad left." In less than two minutes, Li Zheng, the leader of the third squadron, came to Liu Xiaogang and reported.
"Okay, it seems that we have to thank the political commissar this time, if it weren't for his gunshots, we wouldn't have been able to find a breakthrough. Captain Li immediately concentrated all the grenadiers and fired a salvo at the position of the army in front of him, destroying the enemy's position, and the troops were ready to make a surprise attack. After listening to Li Zheng's report, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Xiaogang's mouth, and he ordered loudly.
"Yes, captain, boom, boom" Immediately after Li Zheng's answer, there was a dense explosion in the position of the army outside Baimi. At the same time, the soldiers of several combat groups launched a charge at the position of the Japanese army, which had been completely immersed in a sea of fire in front of them, at the same time as the cannon sounded.
A dense burst of shell explosions, coupled with an impenetrable rain of bullets. The more than thirty little devils who stood in front of the fighters, without accident, all fell in the sudden attack. However, the good fortune of the warriors ended there. Because, just when the soldiers had just rushed through the position of the Yue Army, which had turned into a sea of fire, and launched a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Yue Army, which had more than 300 meters left.
The soldiers, who were attacked, unhurriedly pushed all the troops into the headquarters and closed the door. And just when the warriors didn't know why, a violent whistling sound reached the ears of the warriors. Hearing the whistling sound, the charging warriors couldn't help but change their faces, and they immediately understood something.
"Not good, comrades, retreat immediately, retreat quickly, boom" Just when the fighters, under the command of their respective team leaders and squad leaders, began to retreat sideways, more than a dozen mortar shells had already fallen in the soldiers' charging formation. At the same time, several firing holes suddenly appeared on the thick courtyard wall of the headquarters of the Chinese army, and more than five sudden dense tongues of fire covered the three combat groups that were charging at the front at once.
After a dense burst of shell explosions, more than 30 soldiers who charged at the front, except for 6 soldiers who were lucky enough to retreat, all the rest were sacrificed in the dense artillery fire and bullet rain just now.
It turned out that before this reception was held, the commander of the military police brigade responsible for the security of the entire Taiyuan was in charge. In order to prevent the entire party from being attacked, a large number of firepower nets have long been arranged in the headquarters. At the same time, in order to strengthen the heavy firepower of the garrison squadron, a mortar squadron of 12 mortars was specially removed to participate in the alert of the headquarters.
"Captain, it seems that the little devil is on guard, the enemy's fire is too fierce, and even the courtyard wall of the headquarters has been opened by them several shooting holes. If we don't have artillery support, it's hard to rush in" Looking at the more than 20 soldiers who fell in a pool of blood, squadron leader Li Zheng said rationally to Liu Xiaogang, the captain of the squadron, although his heart ached for a while.
"Well, order the soldiers to be ready to retreat at any time, if there are ten more minutes and we can't capture the enemy's headquarters, we will retreat and shift the target of the attack." Liu Xiaogang also shook his head and replied with a frown.
And just when the two of them were thinking about the plan and constantly shaking their heads, a good news came to the ears of the two people. "Report to the captain, the commissar called, the enemy's artillery positions have been occupied by us, and all the artillery personnel have been wiped out." The telegraph operator took a telegram and came to the two men and reported loudly.
"Haha, there's a way, Captain Li, now it's just a matter of coming? Hurry up, immediately send a telegram to the commissar and ask him to mobilize all the artillery that can be mobilized and give me an artillery attack on the enemy's headquarters. This time, I want these commanders to die under their own fire. Hearing the report of the operator, Liu Xiaogang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he replied with excitement on his face.
"Yes, Captain, I'll call you back right away"
"Wait a minute, Captain Li, you go with you and send all the coordinates of the enemy's headquarters over. Also, tell the commissar that reinforcements from a squadron of the enemy's gendarmerie are coming towards you, so that they are ready to meet the enemy. Looking at the operator who was hurriedly preparing to send the report, Liu Xiaogang then ordered.
After receiving the telegram from the captain, political commissar Luo Zhi immediately understood the situation of the captain at this time.
"Captain Meng, where is the attack frustrated by the captain and needs artillery support, this task will be handed over to you, this is the coordinates that need to be shelled, I will give you five minutes to mobilize the contingent artillery that you can mobilize, and prepare to shell the enemy's headquarters. Captain Wang, the captain of the brigade called Bao, a military police squadron of the army, more than 100 little devils are reinforcing the enemy's artillery wing, this little devil of the squadron, I will hand it over to you. After reading the contents of the telegram, the commissar immediately ordered to the two squadron leaders beside him.
"Yes, Commissar" Hearing that there was another battle to be fought, the two squadron leaders were full of excitement on their faces, and replied at the same time, and the monopoly god began to order his troops to assemble.
A few minutes passed, and thanks to the efforts of more than 300 special combat personnel of the Second Squadron, a total of 14 heavy mountain guns, all of which were turned around in accordance with the polar coordinates provided by the team leader, were ready to fire at any time. At the same time, the first squadron led by Wang Hong, which was the only way for the quiet Mao Load Army, arranged a pocket formation for a squadron of the Army that came to reinforce.
Of course, the most chaotic place at this time should be the Supreme Command of the Yue Army. After hearing the gunshots and explosions outside the headquarters, all the officers of the puppet army who were attending the drinking party stopped almost simultaneously and looked at the Supreme Commander Major General Nakamura, who was standing too far away in the direction of the rostrum.
"Baga, what's going on outside the headquarters, gunshots coming from there." Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Major General Nakamura immediately shouted loudly at a young staff officer beside him.
"Also, Your Excellency Commander, I'm going to ask Suzuki Nakasa, it's him who is in charge of the defense of the entire Taiyuan at night" Seeing the commander Major General Nakamura with an angry face, Staff Officer Shozo quickly replied, spread his legs, and escaped from the field of vision of the commander Major General Nakamura in the eyes of everyone.
However, before he could wait for the return of the staff officer, he saw the captain of the military police brigade, Suzuki Nakasa, rush into the reception in a hurry and ran in front of the commander, Major General Nakamura.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, that our artillery wing and headquarters have been attacked at the same time by unknown forces, and I have sent a squadron of gendarmerie to reinforce them. At the same time, the first attack of the enemy on our command had already been repulsed by us, and there were heavy casualties. Suzuki Nakasa replied anxiously.
"The cunning people of Baga are attacking us in such a big day, Bage Yalu. Captain Suzuki, are you sure that you will hold the headquarters and annihilate all these Chinese forces who dare to sneak attack our headquarters. Hearing that someone was sneaking up on his artillery wing and headquarters at this time, the commander, Major General Nakamura, couldn't help but be furious.
"Hi, please rest assured, Your Excellency, Commander. I have placed a large number of light and heavy firepower and troops around the headquarters. Unless the people of China have artillery support. Otherwise, it will be absolutely impossible to attack the headquarters, so please rest assured, Your Excellency the Commander and your lords, that I, Suzuki, will ensure your safety. Listening to the question of the commander, Major General Nakamura, Suzuki Nakasa replied with a confident face.
Because, from the first attack of the special operations group just now, Captain Suzuki had already seen that although the combat effectiveness of the special operations team was very strong, it did not have any heavy firepower. And in his hands, there are not only a large number of light and heavy machine guns and inexhaustible ammunition. More importantly, it has fire support from 12 mortars.
"Yo Xi, Suzuki-kun, then I'll be sorry for you. However, in order to eliminate these armed forces more quickly, I think it is better to send a large group of Imperial Army soldiers to assist in the attack from the outside, and strive to flank the inside and outside, so as to eliminate all these armed people in the shortest possible time. The commander, Major General Nakamura, nodded and replied with a relieved face.
"Hey, Your Excellency the Commander, please give the order," Captain Suzuki replied in a loud voice.
"Yo Sai, Jun Suzuki, immediately call the nearest garrison to the headquarters and ask them to send a large group of Imperial troops immediately. From the perimeter of the headquarters, surround all the Shina people involved in the offensive and completely wipe them out," the commander Major-General Nakamura ordered in a loud voice.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander" Nakasa Suzuki turned and ran outside. And looking at the departing Suzuki Nakasa, the corners of the mouth of the commander, Major General Nakamura, showed a smile. Victory, it seems, is already in front of his eyes. At the same time, the officers of the puppet army, who were still nervous just now, also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
