Chapter 418 The final attack
Disguised as Japanese troops stationed in the city, and removed prisoners of war with unsteady will. The remaining prisoners of war who insisted on not surrender became the recruits that Hu Biao was willing to rescue and recruit. Even if these people did not recruit them all, some people should be left behind.
Although these prisoners of war had their troops, Hu Biao still knew that whether they were from the Sichuan Army or the Northeast Army, they were not actually considered the direct troops of Chiang Kai-shek. Even if they were sent back to the original troops, their lives might not be easy.
No matter what the reason or reason is to be captured, it is a shame for many soldiers to be a prisoner. If they return to the old army, there may be people who welcome it. But Hu Biao feels that more people will still be suspicious of them.
Looking at the quick reorganized temporary company standing in front of several temporary company commanders, Hu Biao also said directly: "Time is limited, and I can't give you too much rest time. Next, I need you to cooperate in clearing out the Japanese in the city."
"Sir, no problem! We can still stick to it!"
"Okay! Take Shucheng, I will invite you to drink and eat meat! My subordinates will take you to the corresponding combat location later. In Shucheng, there is a large group of Japanese soldiers stationed, and the number of those puppet troops is also quite large.
The main attack is under my army, and you only need to cooperate. During the battle, I hope you can obey the command of my subordinates. Please rest assured that my task force has never used my brothers as cannon fodder!"
The prisoners of war must obey the orders, and they cannot make the prisoners feel that they are being treated as cannon fodder. It is Hu Biao who knows that some commanders will do this these days. No matter what, these rescued prisoners are all prisoners of war!
After hearing what Hu Biao said, the company commanders had no objection. During the previous reorganization process, Hu Biao did not break them apart. On the contrary, they asked them to choose their subordinates on their own and did not refuse their behavior of hudding together for warmth.
During this process, a company commander also asked: "Sir, what's the situation outside now?"
"Not optimistic! At present, the Japanese soldiers have already reached the city of Lu'an. Most of the anti-Japanese war troops in Anhui Province gathered in Lu'an and Huoshan areas. If you want to return to the original troops, let's talk about it after the battle!"
"I want it!"
After deploying combat missions with several company commanders, looking at the prisoners of war who chose to surrender, Hu Biao said calmly: "As soldiers, I regret the choice you made. But I know that you just want to live well.
Although I really want to punish you, you have also contributed to the War of Resistance before being imprisoned in the prisoner of war camp. What it feels like to be a prisoner of war in the Japanese devils is clear about it. But when the bones are soft, they can no longer be hard.
If everyone just wants to let themselves live, who will protect the people who trust us? Since the Japanese invasion, how many of our fellow villagers have fallen under their guns and butchers' knives. As soldiers, if we don't fight to the death, who will fight to the death?"
"Sir, we really can't stand it!"
Facing what Hu Biao said, the prisoners of war couldn't help crying. The period when they became prisoners of war was a double torment between the body and the heart? What's more, it's better to live without a single life than to die!
Hu Biao didn't say much about the panic shown by these prisoners of war and said directly: "Next, I will be responsible for commanding the battle. You are here honestly, don't walk around at will, don't make loud noises.
When the battle is over, if you want to return to the original army, I will send you a trip. If you don’t want to join the army, I will give you the corresponding money and let you go home. I just hope that you can remember the lessons this time.
Being a dog for the Japanese can certainly survive, but have you ever thought about how your family would feel if they knew you were traitors? What kind of eyes would your hometown elders look at you? Think about it carefully!”
After leaving these words, Hu Biao left a combat squad to guard the prisoners of war, and then ordered the reorganized temporary company to start following the combat platoon and head to the corresponding attack location one after another, preparing to launch the final general attack.
When he arrived at the location of the Japanese military camp in the city, looking at the Japanese who were still sleeping, Hu Biao also said directly: "Three knives, start shelling! After cleaning up these Japanese, we still have a lot to do!"
"Yes, the captain of the detachment! The gunner is in place, and five rapid fires are ready! Let it go!"
It is clear that the subsequent destination of the task force is Huoshan. If we had not learned that there were so many prisoners of war in Shucheng, Hu Biao would not have stayed for one more night. Now that the imprisoned prisoners of war have been successfully rescued, the rest will naturally be to encircle and annihilate the Japanese and puppet troops in the city.
Perhaps because the Japanese army had just occupied Shucheng not long ago, and the people in the city were either killed or had fled before the Japanese army siege the city. At present, there was no people in Shucheng, so the Japanese army did not form a garrison headquarters.
The Japanese commander in charge of Shucheng defense also lived in the military camp with his troops. Except for the on-duty troops who were guarding prisoners of war and the troops who patrol and guard the city, the other large Japanese troops lived in the military camp in front of them without exception.
When more than a dozen mortar shells were shot out from the barrel, the task force lurking in the military camp and the city's task force and the temporary prisoners of war company knew that the battle started immediately. The Japanese and puppet troops in the city also knew that they were attacked.
Looking at the explosive firelight that bloomed in the Japanese military camp, many prisoners of war who were cooperating with each other could not help but say, "I really didn't expect that we would be saved one day! Now, it's the Japanese's turn to suffer!"
From beginning to end, the prisoners of war who were rescued did not know how many troops came to the city. The only thing that could be confirmed was that these troops who were wearing Japanese military uniforms should be extremely rare elite troops.
The Japanese army, who was sleeping sounded, heard the loud explosions coming from beside them, and the Japanese who were sleeping were awakened. Just as all the Japanese were panicked and rushed out of the barracks to prepare for counterattack, round after round of shells continued to fall.
The commando lurking at the gate of the military camp also said directly: "Attack!"
The first thing to do was the Japanese guarding the gate of the military camp. Just when these Japanese realized that the military camp was attacked, they fired a wave of dense grenade launchers at their machine gun positions and the gatehouse.
The Japanese who were bombed by grenades and fled to the point of fleeing, soon discovered the combat troops charging towards the gate of the military camp. Even if the Japanese were preparing to fight back, the machine gun positions they built in front of the military camp could not cover the small artillery shells falling from the sky.
The combat team members holding light machine guns saw the Japanese at the range and pulled the trigger without saying a word. The Japanese soldiers who were still shrouded in the grenades were guarding against the grenades while being careful of the machine gun bullets.
At the same time, when the Japanese and puppet troops who were in charge of guarding the city wall and the city gate saw the attacked military camp, many Japanese officers guarding the city immediately said: "Baga! Enemy attack! Hurry up, support the military camp with me quickly!"
When they evacuated from the city wall and headed straight to the barracks along the streets, the combat platoons who had already been in place were also ready to shoot like those rescued prisoners of war, and they only waited for a command to shoot.
The combat platoon leader in charge of the command also said in time: "Everyone has it, prepare! Fight!"
Looking at the Japanese who entered the firing distance of 100 meters, the platoon leader immediately pulled the machine gun trigger in his hand. The other officers and soldiers who cooperated with the combat fired out bullets from their guns. Under the straggling of firepower, the Japanese and puppet troops returning to the rescue fell like harvested wheat.
Many bullied prisoners of war officers couldn't help but shout loudly when they looked at the Japanese who were lying under the gun: "You little Japanese, you have today too! Fight, brothers, beat them hard! Avenge the dead brothers!"
"kill!"
After being captured, they all became unarmed prisoners of war. After being rescued, Hu Biao distributed weapons and ammunition to all the rescued prisoners of war. Looking at the rifles that had just been distributed in their hands, many prisoners of war felt that they needed to vent their hearts.
Thinking of those comrades who were tortured to death by the Japanese, and when they were detained in prison camps, everyone felt a fire in their hearts. Now they finally had the opportunity to vent, and these prisoners of war all had the urge and passion to be fearless of death.
Looking at these yelling prisoners of war and the platoon leader in command of the battle, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, they were like these people at one time. If it weren't for Hu Biao's rescue, they would have been a pile of bones at this moment.
Looking at the prisoners of war who wanted to rush out to kill the enemy, the combat platoon leader also said directly: "No one is allowed to rush out of the position without my orders. I finally saved my life, don't be so impulsive! We can have enough bullets and greet the Japanese with bullets."
He said this to the company commander of the prisoners and the platoon leader signaled the combatants around him to use the grenade launchers he carried to shell out the Japanese who survived and concealed the attack. Hearing this, the company commander of the prisoners and war did not refute.
After all, even though they were officers, they were all prisoners of war in the lowest class during the period of their detention. Now that they have finally escaped, they don’t want to fall in a confused way under the guns of the Japanese.
Staying in the blocking position built by the combat platoon in advance, they are even less likely to be hit by the Japanese. Even if most prisoners of war have not had good shooting skills, this time they have enough bullets, and the prisoners who have finished shooting are not afraid of no bullets at all.
In addition, there were combat platoons on the side to supervise the battle, and they used machine guns and grenade launchers from time to time to clear out the Japanese who were blocked on the street. Looking at the Japanese who fell in the pool of blood, many prisoners of war felt very relieved.
When we arrived on the street, we could no longer see a few surviving Japanese devils. The combat platoon leader also said in time: "Stormtrooper, come on!"
He told the officers and soldiers of the prisoners of war company to stop shooting. The combat platoons carrying submachine guns quickly rushed out of the hiding blocking position. Looking at these combat team members holding submachine guns, many prisoners of war were also envious.
"Wow, it's Hua Machinery! Ge, many of these guys are double-gun soldiers!"
