Chapter 293: Raid on Zaozhuang
Chapter 293: Surprise Attack on Zaozhuang (Second Update)
South Shandong, Zaozhuang. (《》!dukan)
Since Xuzhou was attacked by the Huben Army, the Japanese troops in Zaozhuang and Linyi were ordered to go south to support Xuzhou. After the recaptured by the Huben Army in Xuzhou, the Japanese reinforcements from these two places did not return to their original garrisons.
Instead, in order to support the main force of the North China Front Army trapped south of Xuzhou, it continued to advance towards Xuzhou, so as to achieve the strategic goal of restraining the Hu Ben Army to support its main force in recapturing Xuzhou.
Therefore, at this time, the Japanese garrison forces in the Zaozhuang area were very empty. Among them, there was a squadron in Taierzhuang, plus a puppet army company, and about five to six squads in Lincheng, plus two companies of puppet army traitors.
Zaozhuang is the one with the most defensive forces. At this time, Zaozhuang had three infantry squadrons of the Japanese army and one battalion of the puppet army, with a total force of more than 1,300. However, these three infantry squadrons belong to the garrison troops under the Mixed Brigade, and their combat effectiveness is far from comparable to the field troops of the Japanese elite division.
As for the puppet troops in that battalion, both equipment and combat effectiveness are not worth mentioning. They are themselves bandits in southern Shandong, local gangsters and some scattered soldiers and brave men. They have poor military discipline and lack combat awareness. They usually use their power to bully ordinary local people by bullying them. If they really want to fight, they will be a bunch of mobs.
The reason why there are more Japanese troops in Zaozhuang than in Taierzhuang and Lincheng is not that the geographical location here is more important, but because Zaozhuang has accumulated a large amount of combat materials urgently transported from Xuzhou at this moment.
Therefore, despite such a shortage of troops, the Japanese army still deployed more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops in Zaozhuang, which shows that the Japanese also know the importance of Zaozhuang to them.
The strength of more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops may not be large against the Hu Ben Army, but it is more than enough to deal with the * and Eighth Route Army guerrillas active in southern Shandong.
Since this is the rear of the Japanese, the city gates of Zaozhuang are all open, but there are signs set up by the puppet troops at the gate, and there are even Japanese soldiers with guns and ammunition on the city walls.
It was four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had already begun to slowly set westward. Under the setting sun, the figures of several puppet soldiers were pulled.
"Erniu, I heard that the Zhao Wu family in your village went to another concubine?" A puppet soldier asked his companion beside him with a 38 rifle on his back.
"Yes, this is already the fourth wife. Zhao Wu, the old rich man, has so much money that he can't spend all his money in his lifetime. He married his concubines younger than the other and more beautifully. I heard that this fourth wife is also a little beauty who is famous in all corners of the countryside." The puppet soldier named Erniu replied in a low voice.
"That's really a fucking call to put a flower on the cow dung. Zhao Wu, an old cow, eats tender grass. What a pity." The puppet army asked, saying a little envious and jealous.
"By the way, Dalin, why are you asking this?" Erniu suddenly asked.
"Nothing, nothing." The puppet army called Dalin replied casually.
"Oh, Dalin, there is something wrong! There is something wrong!" Suddenly, Niu Er pointed to the earthen road ahead and shouted in horror.
Dalin and several other puppet soldiers held the steel guns on their backs in their hands and aimed at the front with a vigilant look.
The Japanese on the city wall obviously also had an abnormality. Two Type 92 heavy machine guns and several crooked light machine guns opened the security one after another, and the black muzzle was aimed coldly in front of them.
"Wait, it seems to be the Imperial Army!" Dalin looked around and said with some confusion.
At the same time, a Japanese lieutenant on the top of the city also found his own people, and his tense expression couldn't help but relax. Soon, the "Imperial Army" had arrived at the city, with a population of about one small team.
The puppet army under the city did not dare to interrogate, but heard the Japanese lieutenant on the top of the city shouting loudly in Japanese: "Did you guys belong to that army?"
A "Japanese officer" under the city looked at each other with a person behind him, and raised his head and replied loudly in Japanese: "We are from the Inoue Brigade. The commander is afraid that the Chinese people will attack here, so he ordered our troops to come and strengthen the garrison of Zaozhuang."
The second lieutenant on the top of the city couldn't help but laugh proudly after hearing this: "The chiefs are too worried. This is the rear of the imperial army and is absolutely safe. How could those despicable Chinese pigs appear here?"
"Military orders are like mountains! We have walked all the way, and the warriors need to go to the city to rest." [Japanese officer] said.
"Yoxi, let them enter the city!" The Japanese lieutenant waved his hand to the puppet army under the city and signaled.
The puppet soldiers did not dare to disobey, so they quickly moved the roadblock away and respectfully made way.
About fifty or sixty fully armed "Japanese troops" drove into Zaozhuang City in a swagger. When they entered the city gate, the last few "Japanese troops" in the row suddenly became difficult. Several sharp bayonets stabbed into the bodies of several puppet soldiers such as Erniu and Dalin at the same time.
"You...you...you... are not the Imperial Army!" The puppet army named Erniu spitted blood in his mouth and twitched unwillingly.
Several special forces members almost dragged their bodies in. Since the Japanese lieutenant on the top of the city had already turned around, he could not show any abnormalities at the city gate.
After Liang Yimang entered the city with dozens of soldiers, he rushed up the city wall ladder at the top of the city with lightning speed.
When the Japanese lieutenant turned around and walked to the inside of the city wall, he found that the "Imperial Army" who had just entered the city rushed up fiercely.
The lieutenant, who was shocked, quickly pulled out his lieutenant command knife and shouted urgently: "Baga, enemy attack, hurry up, shoot! Shoot!"
But because his subordinates were all aiming the guns outside the city in a row, especially the two Type 92 heavy machine guns, before they could turn the guns around, Liang Yimang led the elite special operations battalion to kill the city. He held a mirror box in each hand and fired his guns left and right.
The mirror box, known as the small submachine gun, is much stronger than the Japanese 38th large cover at such a close distance.
"Baopao...Baopaopao" A rapid gunfire sounded, and dense bullets made the city dregs splash everywhere. Two Japanese soldiers who had just run over were even shot one after another and fell to the ground with a tilted head.
In a moment, taking advantage of the unresponsiveness of the Japanese, Liang Yimang rushed to the city with the elite special operations gate. The dozen soldiers who rushed to the city first dropped their rifles and took out twenty mirror boxes from their waists, and dozens of mirror boxes opened fire at the same time.
For a moment, the Japanese were knocked to the ground one after another. As other special forces members rushed up, in less than five minutes, they wiped out all the Japanese squads on the top of the city. Only two of them suffered minor injuries to varying degrees and controlled the back of the city gate.
Liang Yimang immediately ordered the soldiers to turn the Japanese light and heavy machine gun, and at the same time, he took out a signal gun and pointed it at the sky and pulled the trigger.
"Bang, 其..." With a sharp whistling sound, a white signal flare was about to rise.
The next moment, there were roars like roars like mountains and seas, and about 200 elite special operations camps rushed towards the city gate from a distance.
The gunshots at the top of the city have alarmed other Japanese and puppet troops in the city. About a squadron of Japanese troops rushed towards the city gate along the street.
When the Japanese entered a range of less than 200 meters, Liang Yigang on the city wall immediately ordered fire. Two Type 92 heavy machine guns, several crooked light machine guns and dozens of 38 rifles fired at the same time. The dense rain of bullets immediately poured towards the Japanese crowd.
Especially several light and heavy machine guns, they even blocked the Japanese in progress. Due to their condescending geographical advantages and the accurate shooting of the special operations battalion soldiers, the Japanese light machine gunners who were hastily shooting under the city were all shot into sieves.
The city was occupied by the Chinese team, and there were sounds of killing outside the city. The Japanese obviously understood. More and more Japanese and puppet troops were transferred over and began to attack Liang Yigang and others desperately.
The Japanese knew very well that if they could not regain the city gate and let the subsequent Zhong* team enter the city, Zaozhuang would likely be unable to defend it. Therefore, a Japanese Japanese in the city was furious and issued an attack order to all the Japanese and puppet troops at all costs.
"Dadada...Dadada..." In the fierce battle, the streets were already full of corpses, most of them belonged to the Japanese, and there were many puppet troops.
The two Type 92 heavy machine guns were condescendingly, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese, and therefore became the priority targets for the Japanese magic gunners.
During the fierce battle, no less than six special forces operating heavy machine guns were hit by bullets flying from somewhere and died on the spot.
Each special forces member was an elite soldier of the Hu Ben Army who had experienced many battles. He lost several subordinates in succession, which made Liang Yimang heartbroken. He then personally picked up a Type 92 heavy machine gun and roared and fired violently at the city.
After about ten minutes of fierce battle, the main force of the special operations battalion outside the city finally arrived. As the elite special operations battalion with full German-style equipment entered the city, the Japanese who were still attacking were quickly defeated.
Liang Yimang raised his arms and shouted at the top of the city to lead his subordinates to take advantage of the situation to launch a rapid pursuit of the Japanese. Then, a fierce city battle began.
Although the Japanese and puppet troops had an advantage in numbers, the Hu Ben Army Special Forces Battalion had an absolute advantage in terms of individual combat capabilities or weapons and equipment.
After about an hour of fierce battle, Liang Yimang finally led his troops to drive the Japanese out of the city. Before retreating, the Japanese took the initiative to destroy a large amount of combat supplies hoarded in the city.
Looking at the towering fire and smoke, Liang Yimang took off his already dark white gloves, and still on the ground, and said to his subordinates behind him: "Tele to the military captain to win, Zaozhuang has been taken down, and all the Japanese combat supplies have been destroyed!"
"Yes!" A top soldier quickly stepped forward and then turned around and quickly took the order.
