Chapter 49 Restoring the Dragon's Mouth (1)
Captain Takeda did not take the guerrillas seriously at the beginning.
Before today, Captain Takeda had never fought head-on with the guerrillas, and the guerrillas had been careful to avoid head-on confrontation with the Japanese army in Qingyang Prefecture, so Captain Takeda was still unfamiliar with the guerrillas, but this did not prevent him from having a basic judgment on the combat effectiveness of the guerrillas.
After all, the reality of the guerrillas is there.
Captain Takeda originally thought that it would be absolutely no problem for the Japanese army to pass through Yanke. The question was how long it would take to make a passage. However, as soon as both sides approached Captain Takeda, they knew that they were wrong.
Listening to the gunfire, the guerrillas may not have too many troops, at best, only a hundred people.
The equipment of the guerrillas was also unsatisfactory. Judging from the gunshots, there were Type 38 rifles, which were formally made in Hanyang, and even old sleeves. There were only two machine guns, one Czech and the other crooked handles, and the gunshots were intermittent. Obviously, the guerrillas' bullets were extremely short of bullets and rarely shot for a long time.
Therefore, both equipment and troops, the Japanese army had an overwhelming advantage.
Logically speaking, the Japanese army could easily defeat the guerrillas, but when they really fought, Captain Takeda discovered that the guerrillas were more difficult than he thought. Although their equipment was poor, they were very experienced. Before the battle began, they occupied two hills on both sides of the road. No matter which hill the Japanese army attacked, they would be covered by the opponent's crossfire.
Ij's tentative attack was soon defeated and lost more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.
"Bagayaru." Captain Takeda cursed and unbuttoned the military uniform. At this time, the weather had already started to get hotter. Even in the second half of the night, it was still unbearable. However, what made Captain Takeda even more anxious was the urging telegram from the brigade headquarters every half an hour.
The brigade and regiment headquarters urged so urgently, which shows that the situation in Longkou County must have been very serious.
Captain Takeda called Nomura, the captain of the first team, and shouted with a ferocious expression: "Nomura, I will give you half an hour. Within half an hour, you must take down the hills on both sides of the highway and draw the passageway.
"Hai" Nomura lie down heavily and turned around and gathered troops.
(Split Line)
In fact, the situation faced by the Japanese army in Longkou was severe, but it was far from the point of collapse.
The 19th Detachment of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not attack the Longkou County Military Police Command, which was very unsatisfactory.
Longkou County has been a small and deserted county with bandits since ancient times. Not only is the city wall built much stronger than ordinary county towns, but even the county government has specially reinforced it. The surrounding walls are two meters taller, and both sides are wrapped in blue bricks. In the middle is glutinous rice juice and straw mixed with loess. Their solidity is as strong as that of concrete.
After the Japanese army occupied Longkou, the county government became the headquarters of the military police force and strengthened it again. Two circular barricades were built outside the gate of the county government, barbed wire was built on the surrounding walls, and artillery towers were also built at four corners. Each artillery tower had a guard post on duty continuously, which was simply a small fortress.
When the surprise attack becomes a strong attack, the 19th Detachment seems to have few solutions.
The fourth brigade's strong attack was once again overwhelmed by the Japanese, and it also lost more than a dozen Sichuan Army veterans.
The little Japanese not only built two circular street mulberry at the gate, but also welded two machine gun nests with steel plates.
Fan Xiaoha, who led the team, came to Xu Shijiu with a sad face and shouted, "Captain, this is impossible. If you continue to attack like this, your brothers will be fine."
Niu Sigen and several puppet army officers also looked over and looked at Xu Shijiu in a hurry.
Xu Shijiu also scratched his head. The attack was not only based on fighting will or tactics, but also on equipment. Not to mention the temporary miscellaneous unit of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui, even if the Central Army came, it might not be possible to deal with the little Japan that was shrouded in the turtle shell. After all, attacking the attack had to rely on heavy weapons.
But what the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army lacks now is heavy weapons.
Even with an 8hmm caliber mortar, Xu Shijiu could smash the turtle shell.
The gendarmerie of Xiaosi was actually equipped with mortars, but the Japanese had some vision. Seeing that the main force of the gendarmerie was inevitable, they decisively blew up the only two mortars, even the grenade launchers were destroyed, and all the shells were thrown out to explode people as grenades, so the 19th Detachment did not seize the mortars.
If it was during the day, Gao Shenxing could still hunt Japanese machine gunners one by one with his extraordinary marksmanship.
But it's night now, no matter how good Gao Shenxing's shooting skills are, he can't accurately shoot the bullet into the machine gun nest, the shooting hole that is only a foot square.
There was no way out, so Xu Shijiu could only order a suspension of the attack.
"Captain of the Detachment, why don't we retreat first?" Fan Xiaoha had already started to pull out the drum.
Niu Sigen was also a little interested. It was too difficult to attack the military police headquarters. Instead of spending time here and losing troops in vain, it would be better to take advantage of the opportunity to break the county town and gain some benefits, especially those businesses that openly and secretly defect to Japan, rob him of the dog and let them be dogs.
When I think of these unscrupulous merchants in the city, Niu Sigen gritted his teeth.
Before the little Japanese came, these merchants treated their patrol as their grandfathers, but as soon as the little Japanese came, these merchants no longer regarded them as people. If others didn't say anything, they would just say that the boss of Zuixianlou was the old bullshit. In the past, when did he pay for dinner at Zuixianlou? Now, it's better, not only did he give money, but the price is also more expensive than others.
Niu Sigen also brought people to smash it once, but Qian Laobi directly sued the military police team. As a result, the former military police captain called Niu Sigen to the military police headquarters. It was a great scolding丨Why could Qian Laobi ask the military police captain? It was not because his wife had a secret affair with the former military police captain, this dog thing that did not treat her own woman as a human being.
Niu Sigen said tentatively: "Sir Xu, why don't you fight here first and suppress those traitors first?"
"No, it's never been the style of our 19th Detachment," but Xu Shijiu flatly refused.
Niu Sigen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Xu Shijiu to refuse so fragilely and so resolutely. It was at this moment that Niu Sigen suddenly remembered that he was no longer the acting brigade commander of the Imperial Army Police Brigade. Now he is a member of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and he has not yet decided on his position.
Xu Shijiu has used his brains to think about it. If he can't attack, then there is only a surprise attack.
But Japan is already prepared, so how easy is it to attack again?
Xu Shijiu thought about it, but in the end he really thought of a solution that was not a solution.
It was the Battle of Shanghai. Due to Zhu Xia's promotion, the 19th Brigade was transferred from the Shanghai Security Corps to the Central Army No. U Pei. Xu Shijiu went to Wusong Town with Zhu Xia first, but he encountered a surprise attack from the Japanese special forces. The security team stationed in Wusong Town at that time left a deep impression on Xu Shijiu.
Xu Shijiu still remembers the captain of Wusong Security Team and the SEAL who was born as a water bandit.
When he was fighting street battles with the Japanese special forces in Wusong Town, the SEAL's security team had all kinds of strange tricks, secret tricks and secret tricks. Even the well-equipped and well-trained Japanese special forces were exhausted. Xu Shijiu still remembers that some of the security team members used chili noodles to wrap grenades to blow Japanese.
Xu Shijiu called Niu Sigen to come and asked, "Team Commander Niu, is there any grocery store in the city?"
Niu Sigen was a little surprised and said casually: "There are too many grocery stores, there must be more than a dozen. The most famous one is the Chenji store in Dongmen, which has been a century-old brand, with fair prices and no deception."
Xu Shijiu said again: "Are there anyone selling chili noodles in the grocery store?"
"Since it's a grocery store, how can you not have chili noodles?" Niu Sigen became more and more confused. Although southern Anhui people are not as spicy as Hunanese and Sichuan people are famous, they are not spicy. If there is no spicy flavor in a meal, it will taste boring. Therefore, every grocery store and chili noodles are a must-have item.
"There is a problem," Xu Shijiu clapped his hands and said, "Teacher Niu, now you will take your brothers to collect all the pepper noodles from various grocery stores. I have an urgent need."
Niu Sigen said in surprise: "Sir Xu, now?"
"Yes, now." Xu Shijiu nodded, "Can you take down the military police headquarters? Just point to this chili noodles."
"Sir Xu, do you want to use chili noodles to slap in the Japanese?" The four beef finally came back to the taste, and then their eyes shone, took a series of people, and excitedly collected the chili noodles.
