Chapter 686 Prepare to attack!
This is the first time the assault regiment has attacked a county town since its establishment. It is of great significance and must not be misunderstood.
To this end, Zhang Qingshan not only made strict arrangements, but even beat people in some aspects.
In order to keep the secret along the way, Zhang Qingshan almost stuck in the time point and accurately calculated the time from Yingzui Cliff to Longfeng County, so that if someone informed the Japanese in the county, the Japanese would not have time to react too much.
In order to avoid leaking news, Zhang Qingshan ordered: No matter who the other party is, they will be held accountable temporarily, and after the battle begins, they will be released.
Ordinary people didn't understand at first, and many people were unhappy. The political cadres brought by the assault regiment and the propaganda team members who came later patiently explained to them. When the people heard that they were going to attack the county town, they immediately became enthusiastic. Many people were willing to serve as guides for the assault regiment, and even asked them to give them guns so that they could kill the Japanese with the assault regiment.
In response to this, the assault team could only express their refusal regret and tactfully.
However, some wealthy and powerful people have always been used to bullying the people, and even the army does not take it seriously.
Now, when we were about to arrive in the county, we met a young master from the landlord family with five or six subordinates on the road. No matter what the people from the assault group said, the other party was arrogant and domineering like 25, and he also threatened how powerful his family was. The people of the assault group dared to forcibly detain him, which hindered his nature of traveling around. He not only had to retaliate, but also responded to the superiors of the assault group, and he must make the people of the assault group unable to afford it...
It just so happened that Zhang Qingshan passed by here. When he saw that the people from the assault regiment were still patiently doing his work, the more patient he was, the more arrogant he became, and his voice became louder and louder. He did not take the soldiers seriously at all. Instead, he made passers-by look at him, which made Zhang Qingshan suddenly feel angry.
"This is going to go to war, not to buy things, it's like a mess?"
Liu Bing, who was standing beside him, also frowned and added: "If this is delayed, it will be troublesome if the Japanese spies are found."
Zhang Qingshan immediately winked at the guard Sun Bingcheng next to him, but unfortunately, Sun Bingcheng was really a elm-wood head, and he looked over with confusion, which made Zhang Qingshan's heart even more angry.
"Baoyu!"
Zhou Baoyu ran over immediately, but Zhang Qingshan didn't say anything, just talked to him.
He is worthy of being the person who has been with Zhang Qingshan for the longest time. He is also smart and knows Zhang Qingshan's temper very well. So, Zhou Baoyu rushed over immediately, without saying a word, grabbed the young master's collar with his left hand. Before the other party had time to react, "Bang! Bang!" twice, he blew his right hand and slapped the other party hard.
The young master was yelling with power, and was caught off guard and was stunned by Zhou Baoyu's two big-eared slap.
When he had just come to his senses, before he could figure out what was going on, a box cannon was pressed against his forehead. Only then did he see Zhou Baoyu's ferocious face clearly, and Zhou Baoyu's roar came from his ears: "You fucking think you are an old man, you dare to be arrogant with our Eighth Route Army... If you have the affair, you can talk to me and try to see if I dare to shoot you in one go?"
Perhaps it was shocked by Zhou Baoyu's murderous aura. Although the other party wanted to show off, he did not dare to gamble. He felt both aggrieved and dissatisfied, but he did not dare to gamble. This huge sense of humiliation immediately turned his face into a pig's liver, which was much redder than the two Zhou Baoyu slapped him before.
The guards around him all wanted to move, but when they saw countless guns hitting them directly and shooting guns with the army, wouldn’t that be seeking death? Who dares to move around?
Zhou Baoyu suddenly pushed him down: "The person came, he put their guns down, took them all down and looked closely, and turned around and interrogated them carefully to see if there was any collusion between the Japanese devils at home..."
As he said that, Zhou Baoyu spat at the young master and said angrily: "Damn it, you can tell at a glance that you are used to being arrogant to the common people, so arrogant that you dare to ignore the army... You are a man, go and try to be so arrogant with the Japanese? That's the man."
"Okay! Well said."
"Yes! Those who are in the army should have backbone."
"It's still the Eighth Route Army that dares to fight the Japanese..."
The audience watching the show immediately applauded and applauded.
Zhou Baoyu then put away his gun, saluted the people around him, and returned with pride... That kind of pride would definitely be very insightful from someone's self-satisfaction when he was proud.
Otherwise, what kind of generals will lead out what kind of soldiers, Zhou Baoyu is like this, and even the soldiers who rushed up are not polite. Not only did they get off the guns of these guys, a soldier also squatted in front of the young master with a scared look on his face and teased loudly: "Young master, you see that you were very arrogant just now, you can tell at a glance that you are a loud hero. Do you think this is OK? Our Eighth Route Army is going to fight the Japanese now, and it just lacks a hero like you. Otherwise, you will fight the Japanese with us now? Let us also see your heroic posture in killing Japanese. How about it?"
"No! No! I won't go, I won't go..."
The young master said in great horror and hid behind. Unexpectedly, the soldier turned his back immediately, grabbed his collar, and shouted viciously: "Even the Japanese dare not kill him, they only dare to act as a hero to their compatriots and show off their power. You are so soft-boys who are arrogant in the door, but you are still fucking good-looking to be a Chinese? Bah! I feel ashamed of your family."
As he said that, he lifted him up and shouted: "Get out! Bad stuff!"
It immediately attracted the people to applause.
Of course, the soldiers behind the palace were responsible for this, so Zhang Qingshan didn't care about these things anymore and led the team to continue to go out.
...
"Ba!Ba!"
4:30 pm!
With two gunshots, the battle to attack Longfeng County began.
"Ba!Ba!Ba..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
"Ka! Da! Da..."
Under the leadership of the first battalion and the second company, the Longfeng County Guerrilla Brigade suddenly charged towards the south gate of Longfeng County... The original plan was to have the Longfeng County Guerrilla Brigade feinted the attack on the south gate of the county town, but when the strong encounter of the first battalion commander Liu Bing, Zhang Qingshan also felt that relying on a county guerrilla brigade alone could not form a resistance attack posture, nor could it be confused to the enemy, so he temporarily sent the first battalion and the second company. For this reason, he specially transferred a light machine gun over. The second company originally had two light machine guns to increase the firepower to make it more confusing the enemy.
Since you are responsible for the feint attack mission that attracts the attention of the enemy in the city, you naturally cannot fight to the death as soon as you get up.
Therefore, when the Japanese and Japanese in the county were panicked and quickly organized a counterattack firepower network, the people who were feinting attack immediately fell down and looked for cover nearby, and began to compete with the firepower of the other party.
Zhang Qingshan stood on the edge of the forest three or four miles southwest of Longfeng County. In this direction, you can see the attack situation at the South Gate and the situation at the West Gate. It is more intuitive to see the enemy's situation clearly, which is conducive to grasping the overall situation. He held a telescope and carefully observed the reaction of the enemy on the Ximen wall. Now, as soon as the south gate of the county town opened, the enemy in the county town immediately closed the city gate. You can tell at a glance that you have had this aspect in advance and increased the alertness. However, when you saw that the enemy on the city wall was not affected by the battle between the West Gate and did not move, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but frown.
"Are you sure that there has been no increase in the number of Japanese devils and second Japanese in the county?"
The instructor of the Longfeng County Guerrilla Brigade immediately nodded and confirmed: "Captain, since I received the order a few days ago, I have been staying in the county town, always paying attention to the movements of the Japanese and the Japanese, especially whether they have increased or decreased their troops. I can be sure that the Japanese and the Japanese did not get Zeng Bing. However, they seemed to have guessed that we were going to attack them, so these days, they will not only train them during the day, but also at night to train how to defend."
No wonder the other party is so unconfused, and this explanation makes sense.
Zhang Qingshan nodded and said to Zhou Baoyu: "Send an order to divide the artillery company into three small steel cannons, go to the South Gate to give the Japanese a few strokes, and increase the attack on the South Gate to better confuse the Japanese."
More than ten minutes later!
"Swoosh!swoosh!swoosh!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
When the three shells were fired, they soon exploded around the south gate of the county town. However, they were all blown inside and outside the city wall. Zhang Qingshan did not see any of this: the artillery has a saying of testing artillery, and no one can ask the artillery to be 100% accurate as soon as it comes up, that is to force people.
The Japanese and Japanese on the city wall saw that the shells were only exploded around and did not hit them directly. Although they were uneasy, their morale had no major impact.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Sure enough, after a brief pause and a little debugging, the second shells all landed on the city wall accurately.
Now, the enemy panicked.
The Japanese were a little better, after all, their knowledge of shells was far better than that of the Japanese. But the Japanese were frightened, especially when they saw their comrades around them being killed and injured by shells, some timids couldn't help but let go, but they were naturally killed by the Japanese.
The small steel cannon fired quickly, and after another round of shelling, the two Japanese had given up resisting, but they did not dare to escape, so they had to hide behind the walls with their heads in their arms, begging God to bless them not to be bombed by shells. The Japanese were also a little panicked, and more importantly, in this case, they had to be bombed and had no power to fight back.
However, the Japanese were well-trained soldiers and responded quickly.
Just a few minutes later, their artillery brought the cannons and immediately fought back at the assault regiment. The first target was naturally to destroy the three small steel cannons that Zhang Qingshan specially sent.
Who said that in artillery battles, we cannot fight guerrillas? Especially when the opponent has strong firepower and only three small steel cannons on his side, if he doesn’t run away, would he still be stupid enough to be bombed?
So, when the Japanese dropped the shells around three small steel cannons for the first time, the artillery platoon leader immediately took everyone to move their positions without hesitation.
Next, they naturally had to fight one shot and change another place. Anyway, they were ordered to attack, so they had time and mood to play with the Japanese.
They were happy to fight, but the Japanese who always defended passively felt uncomfortable. Gradually, they sent more small cannons to the south gate.
And this is what Zhang Qingshan wants. When he saw more and more shells shooting from behind the South City Gate, he finally ordered - "Start attack!"
The siege, which is of great significance to the history of the assault regiment, has a milestone in the anti-Japanese war situation in Sanqiao County and its surrounding areas, began, and the prelude to the assault regiment display its strength.
Chapter completed!
