Chapter Ninety-Six: Deal with Them Yourself
When I saw that I had already seen myself standing at the gate of the city, this former staff officer of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region Command was also an acquaintance of my old subordinates. Now that he has arrived at the gate of the city, Xing Renfu, who has infiltrated Jizhong all the way with this very cleverly disguised Japanese army, immediately knows that his camouflage has come to an end.
He knew that this was not a fishing village in the Jilu border area, let alone a village in Xinhai. At this heavily guarded city gate, it was impossible for him to replicate the scene in the Jilu border area, taking advantage of the paralysis and carelessness of the local cadres to preemptively kill them before they raised the alarm.
No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army around him was, it was impossible for him to quietly kill the defenders of the platoon in front of him. As early as the day he killed his deputy commander, Xing Renfu, who knew that he had no way out, decided to strike first without the slightest hesitation. After handing a look to Yang Zhenghou beside him, the two of them took out their guns in unison.
In the end, it is a veteran who has been killing on the battlefield for many years, and the reaction is still quite fast. Although he became a traitor, he did not fall behind. Although it was a preemptive strike, the movements of the hands were a step faster. Before the words of the former Hebei and Lubian cadres who questioned him fell, the two fast and slow machines in the hands of Xing Renfu and Yang Zhenghou had already started to take the lead.
In many cases, in such encounters, the speed of the gun is often the fatal factor that determines one's life and death. Although Xing Renfu and Yang Zhenghou became traitors, they also fought one battle at a time. The speed of reaction is far from that of this student-born staff officer, which can be compared.
Compared with Wei Fangjie, who was ready for battle, and the squad leader of the Jinchaji Military Region who was kicked into the sandbag fortification on the opposite side by him. This highly alert cadre died on the spot because of a slow reaction speed. As early as the cadre spoke, Wei Fangjie, who already felt that something bad was going to happen. At the same time as he raised his foot and kicked the squad leader of the brother unit into the fortification, his left hand had already drawn the pistol on the holster of his thigh.
After opening the safety on the thigh, one turned sideways while leaping into the fortifications. The pistol in his hand was fired almost at the same time as the pistol in Xing Renfu's hand in front of him. At the same time that the guns in the hands of Xing Renfu and Yang Zhenghou accurately hit the staff officer.
The Soviet-made TT pistol imitated by the Anti-United Nations in Wei Fangjie's hand also fired quickly. Directly knocked down the two people around them, I don't know if it was the Japanese army, or the traitors, and easily scattered the rest. Ensure that the Japanese army will not launch a group charge in the front for a short time. It's just a pity that the two traitors were not slow to react, and quickly lay down at the same time as his gun rang out, dodging the rapid fire of his pistol.
Just as the pistol in Wei Fangjie's hand fired, all the weapons in the hands of his subordinates also fired. And the two snipers he deployed on the city walls also opened fire at the same time. With accurate shooting, you will continue to support the battle below. In particular, the two Type 92 heavy machine guns, which were the key blockade targets, did not give the Japanese army a chance to set up at all.
It's just that although a few people were knocked down at the beginning, the Japanese army in front of them did not show weakness. Quickly formed a battle formation and constantly launched an attack on Wei Fangjie's north gate defense line. Its equally accurate firepower also quickly caused casualties among Wei Fangjie's subordinates.
In particular, the squad sent by the newly formed regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to assist in defense lacked actual combat experience because it was the first time it had experienced actual combat. Combined with the dense firepower of the Japanese troops in front of them, as well as relatively strange tactical movements, the embers were killed and wounded in just a few minutes. Except for the squad leader who was kicked into the sandbag by Wei Fangjie, the rest of the people were either dead or injured.
For Wei Fangjie, it felt wrong as soon as he fought with this Japanese army. This group of Japanese troops and the Japanese troops they encountered before are two different things, both in terms of tactical movements and shooting skills. Although the tactical maneuvers are still the standard tactics of the Japanese army, they have been greatly adjusted compared to the past.
He even made him, who had been trained in the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region, feel that the tactics of the Japanese army in front of him were faintly in the style of the reconnaissance brigade directly under him. Although there were some specious movements of the Japanese troops on the opposite side, he was also very unsure. But he always had some familiar feelings about the various tactical actions of the Japanese army.
It's just that these tactical moves of the Japanese army in front of them were not stolen from the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region. Wei Fangjie now has no time to think about it, he has a disadvantage in terms of troops, and the performance of individual weapons and equipment is roughly equal. However, the Japanese army, armed with grenadiers and superior in numbers, soon gained the upper hand in this local battlefield. Wei Fangjie and his subordinates were suppressed around the north gate. At the same time, with dense firepower, Wei Fangjie's road to retreat into the city was blocked.
Although the two snipers on the city walls, with the Mosin Nagant sniper rifles in their hands, are constantly trying to find a way to support. However, the superiority of the Japanese army in strength was too great. Moreover, the extremely accurate grenadiers also made the two snipers have to constantly change positions. The accuracy of the two snipers has also been greatly weakened.
As soon as the gunfire on the city wall rang out, the grenades fired by the Japanese grenadiers immediately smashed over, and their accuracy even reached ** not far from ten. The two snipers on the city wall were even forced by the Japanese grenadiers and riflemen to only shoot one shot.
But no matter how passive the battlefield situation was, Wei Fangjie knew that he must not take a step back. Because the city of Renqiu County behind him is the location of the former commander of the entire Jizhong battlefield. The commander-in-chief of the No. 1 and Eighteenth Group Armies is also in Renqiu County at this moment. There are also a large number of radio stations and secrets, as well as non-combatants at headquarters.
Once this rather unusual Japanese army infiltrates the city from itself, the consequences will be too serious. He is a member of the headquarters guard regiment and is a unit that is responsible for guarding the perimeter of the headquarters. Not to mention that No. 1 was slightly injured at all, even if he lost a piece of paper on his front finger, he was a serious dereliction of duty.
Now the North City Gate is his last line of defense, and it is also his last position. The only thing he can do now is to buy time for reinforcements from other directions to arrive, even if all of them die here. Swearing to defend the security of the headquarters is definitely not an empty word.
Fortunately, although the enemy's firepower was fierce and the offensive was quite strong, the telephone line between the north gate and the headquarters had not been interrupted. Let Wei Fangjie report the situation he encountered as soon as possible, so that the headquarters can be prepared to prevent similar situations from other directions.
Wei Fangjie led his troops and struggled to support them at the North Gate. And the news that the north gate was attacked by the enemy army in makeup was also transmitted back to Yang Zhen as soon as possible. After receiving Chai Shirong's report, Yang Zhen, who was carefully checking the map, didn't even stop with the red and blue pencils in his hand, but just said lightly: "You go and deal with this matter, and report to me after it is resolved." ”
Although he hesitated slightly, Chai Shirong still said: "No. 1, is it a temporary transfer of the headquarters?" I don't know where this Japanese army came from, how many there were, and whether it was just the vanguard. Whether it was accidentally touched, or whether it has been discovered that our former command is in Renqiu County, and the special tactical arrangements made are not clear for the time being. ”
"We had only two companies of troops in the city, and only one platoon at the north gate. It is not clear what the situation is on the periphery now. The telephone lines from the county to the outside world have been completely cut off. If the peripheral forces do not understand the situation clearly, and the rescue is slow, then our situation is dangerous. ”
"There are now quite a few non-combatants in the city, as well as a large number of classified documents and radio stations. No matter how many Japanese troops came, even if a dozen Japanese troops infiltrated into the city, it would cause serious losses. I'll see if you and the front finger are immediately transferred, after all, the safety of the headquarters comes first. ”
Regarding Chai Shirong's persuasion, Yang Zhen did not raise his head but said directly: "Transfer? Where is it safe in your eyes? I'm telling you, I'm not going anywhere right here. The position of the front finger will not change, and I will not leave. As for what to do with these Japanese soldiers, that's your business. ”
"Lao Chai, you are a veteran of the old Anti-Japanese Union period, there are some things I don't need to say, you, the old commander of the Fifth Army, know it in your heart. How did this Japanese army come from, we don't have to worry about him for now. But one thing can be easily determined, except for the north gate, there are no gunshots in other directions. ”
It shows that at least on the bright side, the Japanese army only came from the North Gate. Judging from the current situation of the entire battle in Jizhong, do you think it is possible for the Japanese army to penetrate behind our army's battle line with a large force? No matter where this Japanese army comes from, they will not have too many troops. ”
"Let's not forget that the Western Front is our own theater of operations, and we should not have any doubts about the capabilities of our commanders on the Western Front, as well as the capabilities of our troops. If a large number of Japanese troops, whether they were wearing makeup or using other means, could have infiltrated from our army's front to the rear of our line so openly, then my head would have moved long ago. ”
"And on the eastern front, from Jinpu Road to Bohai Bay, it is the old base of the fraternal troops. Although the coastline is too long for a small group of specially trained Japanese troops to infiltrate, it is almost impossible for a large force of Japanese troops to sneak through the eyes of their brother troops and run more than 100 kilometers to the rear of our battle line. ”
"If the brother troops don't even have this ability, can they survive and develop under so many brutal sweeps by the Japanese army? Lao Chai, I think you are concerned about it. If you are really afraid that this Japanese army will threaten the security of the front command, then concentrate your troops and cleanly solve them earlier. ”
"Also, this time the Japanese army is disguised as our troops, so don't let the brother troops participate in the war. The military uniforms on everyone's bodies are the same, and the battlefield identification will definitely not be very clear. They are involved in the combination, and it is easy to cause confusion and miscalculation on the battlefield, causing unnecessary casualties. Since this Japanese army is coming for us, let's solve it ourselves. ”
Yang Zhen's voice fell, and Chai Shirong opened his mouth to persuade again, but finally swallowed the words in his mouth. It's just that just when he turned around to leave and went to the north gate to command the battle, Yang Zhen behind him suddenly spoke again: "You can also bring my guard platoon over, and it is enough for me to leave a Zhang Zixiong by my side." ”
Hearing the last short sentence of One, the tone of indisputable tones. Chai Shirong gritted his teeth, and finally chose to accept it. After placing a submachine gun and a few magazines beside Yang Zhen, he took Yang Zhen's personal guard platoon away according to Yang Zhen's request.
He has been the deputy chief of staff of the Anti-Japanese Federation for many years, and he knows that Yang Zhen is useless on the battlefield, even if he fights for it, he knows that instead of doing useless work here and arguing with No. 1 and delaying precious time, it is better to solve the accident that happened as soon as possible.
