Chapter 265 Why there is no good news
This battle in Linchuan Town is not easy to fight.
Although the Japanese army in Linchuan Town had only one squadron, less than 200 people, they were stationed in the town, and the complex terrain was one aspect. The most troublesome thing was that there were still thousands of ordinary people in the town. The large number of artillery carried by Gao Jiu and others was useless.
This time when Gao Jiu came out, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas almost came out in full swing. Only a few players were left in the entire special forces, with a total of 98 people coming out. Li Chengwu and Liang Shihu also brought 36 players.
Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion currently has 204 people. The total force in Linchuan Town is now 335.
Wang Zhankui has been in Linchuan Town for a long time. He used to be a puppet army to be stationed here. After the newly formed 24th Regiment was established, he was also stationed in Linchuan Town. It can be said that he is too familiar with this place to be familiar with it.
In order to avoid accidentally hurting the people, Wang Zhankui thought he was familiar with the terrain and simply fought this battle with the cavalry battalion.
He said, "Master Jiu, let me fight this battle to my brothers." He was going to take his brothers to use the familiar terrain to enter the town to destroy the enemy.
Gao Jiu understood Wang Zhankui's intentions, and believed in the combat effectiveness of Wang Zhankui and his cavalry battalion. There was absolutely no problem in defeating the Japanese in the town.
However, when entering the town and fighting against the Japanese army on complex terrain, the cavalry battalion will inevitably suffer considerable casualties and will waste a lot of time.
Gao Jiu said, "Brother Zhan Kui, I understand your intentions, but this battle cannot be fought like this.
Now everyone is on the horse! Come with me.”
Wang Zhankui did not argue, and took his brothers to get on the horse and followed Gao Jiu in the dark sky.
At 7:40, Gao Jiu and others had already arrived in the north of Linchuan Town.
Gao Jiu, Zhang Quan, Guo Hengming, Du Shengxi, Li Chengwu, Liang Shihu and Wang Zhankui and others held a combat meeting.
Gao Jiu said: "Because there are a large number of people in the town, this battle should not be fought in the town as much as possible. My plan is to encircle the Japanese army from the east, west and north of the town, leaving a passage to the south, forcing the Japanese army to withdraw from Linchuan Town and flee to Zhiyuan County.
This time we will only defeat the squadron of the Japanese, let them escape to the outside of the county, and send letters to the Japanese, so that they can know that our main force is here."
When everyone heard this, they knew that Gao Jiu would have a new combat plan after fighting Linchuan Town. Everyone trusted Gao Jiu and had no doubts about the combat plan he proposed.
Gao Jiu looked at everyone and saw that everyone had no different opinions, so he issued a combat order:
Zhang Quan led the first squadron of the special forces to ambush the east of Linchuan Town, Guo Hengming led the second squadron to ambush the west of Linchuan Town, Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion was on the left side of the north, Li Chengwu's security army was on the right side of the north, and Du Shengxi's firepower team was on the middle of the north.
Ning Wu, Li Shengdong, and Li Xiaoshan each chose their own sniper positions.
Gao Jiu led two special forces members to approach the town's wall with two cloth bags filled with grenades? He was responsible for attacking the enemy.
Gao Jiu specially designated this battle. Li Shengdong opened fire first. At 8:00, Li Shengdong used the moonlight to aim at a Japanese sentry at the gate of the town. He shot him in the chest.
With the signal sent by Li Shengdong, the troops of Li Chengwu and Wang Zhankui, who were deployed in the north, opened fire? Their firepower was very fierce, and the team members shouted slogans of rushing? The momentum was huge.
Gao Jiu and others were about 70 meters away from the town wall? Searched for a shelter and stopped and carefully observed the situation in the town.
Not long after, he saw many figures shaking in the town, and those people gathered towards the north of the town.
There is no need to ask these people? Of course they are the Japanese troops in the town? Gao Jiu was not in a hurry to attack the Japanese troops. He was waiting for more Japanese troops to approach.
Not long after, Gao Jiu saw about 100 Japanese troops near the town's wall. At this time, there were other people running in the town? Some people in the south of the town ran south, and it should be part of the fleeing people.
There were two groups of people moving quickly towards the east and west of the town respectively? Each streak of about thirty or forty people, and these people were also Japanese soldiers? They wanted to encircle them from both wings.
To the north of the town, did the Japanese army line up? They began to fight back to the outside of the town.
Ning Wu, Li Shengdong and Li Xiaoshan flashed towards the Japanese gun? Started to attack the enemy.
Gao Jiu saw that the Japanese army had entered the position? He picked up the grenade and threw it quietly at the relatively dense Japanese army.
The black grenade quietly flew over the Japanese army's heads in the dark sky and suddenly exploded. Gao Jiu could see that after the explosion, the figures stopped shaking. Their images dimmed in a short while.
The Japanese army had no idea where the grenades flew from. According to their experience, the people who threw grenades should be at a distance of 20 or 30 meters nearby, so some of the Japanese army opened fire randomly at this range. Some Japanese army also threw grenades outward, and they also exploded at a distance of 20 or 30 meters ahead of the position.
The Japanese army hoped that such a blind attack could knock out the attackers hiding in the dark and throwing grenades. However, to their disappointment, the enemy's grenades still flew silently to their sky and exploded violently.
Although there were only Ning Wu, Li Shengdong and Li Xiaoshan, three snipers, who shot one by one, killed more than 20 Japanese soldiers in a short while.
Gao Jiu was even more outrageous. He exploded wherever he had many people. He killed more than 30 Japanese soldiers in a short while.
The Japanese army was very tenacious. Even though the casualties were so heavy, they still insisted on shooting outwards. Gao Jiu understood why they were like this. They were counting on the Japanese army surrounded by both wings to play a role in raiding the enemy.
Gao Jiuba couldn't hold on here, so he kept throwing the grenade out.
At this time, the Japanese army surrounded from the east and west wings were also attacked by the special forces team led by Zhang Quan and Guo Hengming. After the two sides fought, although the other members of the special forces team were not as good as those of the snipers in the sniper team, they were all sharpshooters. Each of them had a sniper rifle, and the Japanese army had no chance to fight back. As soon as they fired, bullets from the sniper rifle would fly over.
At this time, there were not many Japanese troops in the north, and they finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to run towards the southern end of the town. The remaining Japanese troops on both sides of the east and west also ran south.
In order to force the Japanese army to escape, Gao Jiu ordered a full-scale attack. The troops lying in the east, west and north sides were ambushing the east, west and north, and fired while roaring forward.
The remaining Japanese soldiers suffered a heavy blow and were already exhausted. When they heard the enemy's huge attack, how could they dare to stay in the town? Seeing that there was no enemy in the south, they desperately escaped from the town and fled towards Zhiyuan County.
Zhang Quan sent some special forces members, bluffed and chased after several hundred meters behind, then stopped and returned to the town.
After taking down Linchuan Town, Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and others led their troops and ran towards Lanxi County.
After the 115th Japanese Regiment passed Linchuan Town, it is now deployed in the north of Zhiyuan County, responsible for attacking the National Army positions that refused to defend the 24th Regiment north of the county town.
From the afternoon, they launched four consecutive attacks on the national army's positions. They once captured the first trench of the national army, but were taken back by the national army reinforcements. Although they caused major casualties to the national army, they also lost more than 170 people.
The captain of the regiment, Chiba Kotaro, was very depressed. After Li Guishan, the captain of the Pingyue County Public Security Army, fled back to the county town, he reported to the military captain that the Yamaguchi brigade was annihilated.
The military captain had a conflict with Chiba Kotaro. After receiving the news, he immediately reported the news to the Jinan Military Police Command with gloating.
Sakai Toichiro and Hamada Yoshihiro were very depressed when they received the news. Another Japanese brigade was wiped out by others. Gao Jiu and his group of people in Taohua Mountain were really terrifying.
They could not help but inform the information to the 128th Brigade of the Japanese Army. The commander of the brigade, Obofu, was in a bad mood and scolded Chiba Kotaro on the phone, saying that if his troops could not take the enemy's position tomorrow, they would engage in military law.
Chiba Kotaro was in a bad mood. After drinking a little bit of wine, he lay on the camp bed to rest.
11:40. He was woken up by the corps. It turned out that the Japanese troops stationed in Linchuan Town fled back. There were 181 soldiers in the squadron, and now there are only more than 60 people left. The squadron leader was also killed in battle.
Chiba Kotaro had to put on his clothes and listen to a report from a small team leader who escaped. The Japanese team leader who came back by luck said that they had encountered a large number of enemy attacks. The attackers were equipped with a large number of machine guns and had very fierce firepower, with at least 1,000 troops in the enemy's army.
The reason for this conclusion was that he could not see the specific number of enemies at night. Based on military common sense, he judged the enemy's firepower, such powerful vitality was no less than a regiment of the national army. Another point was that in order to shirk them from such heavy losses and lose Linchuan Town, he deliberately exaggerated the enemy's strength.
Chiba Kotaro was very depressed. He couldn't figure out where the enemy had such a large force? Although he had once encircled Taohua Mountain, he just shot him with a fake shot and had never fought with Gao Jiu from Taohua Mountain. He could not tell that these people were Gao Jiu's Taohua Mountain guerrillas.
He could not help but report this information to the brigade commander Obaofu. However, this time he learned his intelligence. He did not report to Obaofu himself, but asked the wing team to report. When Obaofu asked about his whereabouts, the wing team said that he had gone to the front line to observe the enemy situation.
However, Obaofu gave the death order and asked him to answer the phone in person. Chiba Kotaro was very helpless. He deliberately delayed for half an hour, then picked up the phone, pretended to have just run back, and asked breathlessly: "Governor Captain, Huine has just returned from the front line. What instructions do you have?"
Although Obofu spoke very stiffly, he did not scold Chiba Kotaro. He said: "Lanxi County was besieged by the large army of the army. You should immediately bring people to reinforce."
Chiba Kotaro was so amused and cried, and thought to himself: "Why are all bad news?"
