Chapter 33 Puppet Army Meritorious Service

Orient. A glimmer of dawn is slowly opening, in a courtyard in the northwest of Xiabu Township, Xia Gaole listened to an explosion, stared at a pair of eyes and said to several puppet army leaders around him: "Don't look at it, this battle, the student army will definitely win, they have tanks, the imperial army does not, the imperial army has no way to fight with others." I asked you to help rescue those mud-legged people, but you didn't listen, but now it's okay, and when they win, they will definitely settle the score. Don't have any illusions, the Xuebing Army is the most ruthless in dealing with us, have you heard of what Ouyang Yun did in Tianjin? He single-handedly broke into the heavily defended Japanese Concession, killed two big traitors who were heavily protected, and killed more than 100 devils, this kid is not human at all. This kind of person, can we fight with others? Look for death! ”

After the Second Army dispatched tank units, most of the Japanese army's firepower points lost their due effectiveness, and they could only use limited anti-aircraft artillery to counterattack. However, the Japanese army's anti-aircraft artillery was only 57 mm caliber, which was not enough to destroy the thick armor of the laser tank in the front, and the battle lasted for more than an hour, and half of the Japanese fortifications in Tongjia Town had been knocked down by tanks. There is no suspense in the battle of Tongjia Town, and the next thing is to slowly annihilate point by point. Seeing this, Li Hansoul divided two battalions of tanks to go to Xiabu Township, and now, the most fierce fighting is conveniently at the township office in the southeast corner of Xiabu Township. The Japanese relied on two bunkers and deep trenches, and used a combination of anti-aircraft guns and human bombs to withstand the attack of the tank troops.

The front-line battle was quite stale, and the puppet army troops who had fled the front line fell into confusion and anxiety, among them, one-third of the puppet army had already stripped off the Wang Bafu on their bodies and began to return to the people; A third of the puppet army belonged to the die-hard Japanese army, although they did not dare to stay on the front line to participate in the war, but they firmly believed that the imperial army would win, and its officers were planning how to find an excuse for the previous slip after the war; The rest were previously rebelled against and later gave up the battlefield because of timidity.

Xia Gaole is the general contact person of the puppet army for this anyway operation, he wanted to resolutely carry out the orders of the battlefield anyway, and help rescue those poisoned people, but unfortunately the puppet army was born a rabbit, whether it was following the Japanese or already wanting to do it anyway, the habit was difficult to change, and he was coerced and ran away alone.

After he finished speaking, all the leaders of the puppet army were silent, and after a long time, a very tall and strong officer suddenly roared and said: "Wealth is in danger, but I have heard that if you can join the Cadet Army, even if you are an ordinary soldier, you will get five silver dollars every month." Brothers, do it, do a good job, if you can join the Cadet Army, hehe, brothers don't say anything else, at least the family will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future. ”

Xia Gaole followed up and said, "Then do it!" ”

"Okay, Lao Xia, you planned this matter, or you took the lead! If anyone dares to be half-hearted, I, Yellow Tiger, will pick his skin! ”

Xia Gaole nodded and said, "Then it's decided." My thoughts are ......"

The Cadet Army's actions at Eagle Pond were quickly telegraphed by Mizuhara Yoshishige to Okuichiro, Suzuki Shimono, and Kawabe Shozo. The 3rd Division of Shozo Kawabe was still far away from the battlefield, and Suzuki Shimono was closest to Hawkan at this time, but because his own situation was not very good, at this time, the 3rd Army of the Regibu School was surrounded by superior forces in the hilly area from Jiangshan to Yushan, and was waiting for Okuichiro to come to his rescue, and when he received a telegram, he could only organize a tentative attack, and there was nothing else he could do.

Okuichiro's 9th Division has been very strange since it was put into the battlefield, and it has disturbed the first-line student soldiers in Fujian and Zhejiang with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west.

Jiang Guangnai was once led by his nose, looking quite passive.

After Ouyang Yun heard about it, he personally sent a telegram to Jiang Guangnai, which wrote: The purpose of the 9th Division is only to rescue the Japanese army surrounded by our army, so the best way for our army to deal with it is not to blindly chase the tail, but to try to think about whether we can make the pocket bigger and directly put the 9th Division into it.

After Jiang Guangnai received this telegram, he immediately knew that he had fallen into a misunderstanding, and he still regarded himself as a simple defender, and if he stood on the angle of the attacker, then the series of actions of the 9th Division before could only play a harassing role, and it was not enough to really cause too much damage to Fujian. If Okuichiro really dared to occupy a Fujian town, then was he ready for the annihilation of the entire army?

In view of this, Jiang Guangnai changed his previous rear-end chasing style, and only ordered the cities along the Fujian and Zhejiang routes to strengthen their defenses, and at the same time separated the troops, and he personally led the 13th and 14th divisions to march directly from Songxi to Longquan, and at the same time asked the 15th Division to implement the previous established strategy, continue to attack the southeast coast of Zhejiang, and try to help the She people establish an anti-Japanese base area.

Once the Fifth Army began to implement such a strategic plan, Okuichiro's previous actions seemed a little redundant and ridiculous, at least, he no longer dared to implement the previous plan, and wanted to forge ahead into Fujian alone, and directly take the back road of Wuyishan to outflank the Second Army. Instead, he now had to consider that once Songxi and Longquan were fully controlled by the Xue Fifth Army, then his troops might be surrounded in the mountains east of Fengling Pass.

The specific battle situation at this time was that although the Second Army and the Third Army of the Japanese Army surrounded the 8th Mixed Independent Brigade and the 13th Division, the Third Army was also surrounded by the 13th Division and the 9th Division, and at the same time, the 9th Division was also encircled.

This kind of overall situation has accelerated the process of both the Xuebing Army and the Japanese Army in the next situation, which is also the reason why Li Hansoul is in a hurry to solve the besieged Japanese army, because only by completely solving the 8th Mixed Independent Brigade can he transfer the troops of the Xuebei Second Army to support the Xuejun Army and wait for the opportunity to eat a part of the 13th Division or surround the 9th Division.

These things in the big picture, Xia Gaole does not understand, in fact, he is only concerned about his personal net worth and future now.

The section where Yoshishige Mizuhara personally commanded the defense was the strongest in the entire Tongxia defense line, although the Cadet Army had a tank unit to open the way, but the Japanese army's will to resist was very tenacious, and it was very good at using human bombs, and the Cadet Army lost three tanks in a row, not only failed to break in, but blocked the tank's forward path, which made him very annoyed.

"It's really not good, I can only use people to rush! No matter how many people die, it must be taken before six o'clock! Li Hansoul was ruthless in the temporary headquarters, and Deng Longguang at the door looked at the huge fireball that suddenly rose in the distance, and he shouted in surprise: "One of the devil's bunkers has exploded!" Well done, which troops did it, Lao Tzu wants to reward them! ”

The Japanese army fought to the death to defend several bunkers, among which the one that was commanded by Mizuhara Yoshishige was particularly strong, and the cadet army rushed to the bunker several times, but was finally defeated because it could not be blasted. Deng Longguang, Li Hansoul and others have been paying close attention to this bunker, and Deng Longguang has known that the explosion is near the bunker according to his previous observations.

Li Hansoul heard Deng Longguang's shout and ran out, at this time, the sound of the explosion reached everyone's ears, looking at the huge fireball, Li Hansoul said in surprise: "It seems that the ammunition depot has exploded!" Old Deng, let's take a look! ”

"Good!"

The explosion was not the bunker that Mizuhara Yoshishige was holding, but this explosion caused a hole with a three-meter radius to be torn open in the back of the bunker, and Mizuhara Yoshishige and dozens of devils inside were killed by the explosion at that time, and several of them were killed, and those who did not die were also shocked and fainted with bleeding ears.

The explosion was planned by Chahgaul, which was originally a warehouse used by the Japanese army to store ammunition, and was only five meters away from the bunker. Xia Gaole and the others knocked on the door of the courtyard in the name of condolences to the imperial army, and then killed the five devils inside, and then detonated the ammunition depot.

The ammunition depot was detonated by Chacellor himself, so although he ran hard, his eardrums were bleeding from the huge shock wave, and he was almost not shocked to death. The huge explosion was followed by sporadic explosions, and after this explosion, the front-line troops of the Cadet Army immediately seized the opportunity to carry out a fierce attack, and most of the Japanese troops were stunned by this explosion, except for the two devil squadrons that acted as reserves and rushed out in time to carry out stubborn sniping, most of the Japanese troops on the front line failed to organize effective resistance again.

"Damn, I'm not dead!" The sporadic explosions continued, Xia Gaole trembled and got up from the ground, he shook his head to shake the dirt off his head, and then suddenly saw the opening behind the bunker, and immediately realized that a greater credit was beckoning to him, he looked back, behind him, more than two hundred puppet soldiers except for Huang Laohu was standing there stunned and drooling, everyone else was lying on the ground and refused to get up. He ran over and grabbed the yellow tiger and shouted, "Tiger, do you want to make a great contribution!" ”

He was shocked by the explosion, lost his judgment of volume, and the roar in this life was so loud that it startled the yellow tiger, and he jumped back: "You make a light sound, Lao Tzu's ears are deaf by your roar - what is the great achievement?" ”

Xia Gaole's eyes flashed with charming brilliance, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the big hole more than thirty meters away, and shouted: "There, Mizuhara Yoshishige must be inside, let's go in and arrest him!" ”

If this kind of thing had been done before, Huang Laohu would not have dared to do it, but now his courage has grown a lot, and he roared vigorously: "It's done!" Then he yelled at the people lying on the ground: "Brothers, wealth and danger are in danger, let's do a big deal!" ”
