The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 202 Inspiration from Classic Movies

Jia Liu and a special forces member led a platoon of officers and soldiers from Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion, and Gao Jiu specially came to cooperate. Li Xiaoshan, the top sharpshooter of the 792 regiment, quietly lay in ambush near the bunker on the top of the Japanese mountain.

On the hills on three sides of the prisoner-of-war camp, a bunker was built, and a squad of Japanese soldiers was stationed inside.If it was just a bunker in Beishan, Jia Liu and the others could use the cover of night darkness to touch down the enemy's sentry and take down this bunker.

Since this is a unified operation, if the Japanese army is alarmed in advance, the army will destroy the action plan of the entire army, and they have to wait until 7:00 to carry out a storm.

Seeing that the battle was about to start, Jia Liu checked the battle deployment again.On the side facing Jia Liu and the others, there was a shooting hole in the bunker of the Japanese army. The shooting hole on the side also had a part of the firing range, which could pose a threat to Jia Liu and the others.

For the shooting holes on the frontal Japanese bunker, Jia Liu arranged for a light machine gun and 15 soldiers from the cavalry battalion to block it.A light machine gun was arranged for the shooting hole on the side, and 10 soldiers blocked it.Li Xiaoshan and a special forces member walked around to the side and rear of the bunker, preparing to block the entrance and exit of the bunker.Jia Liu himself took a bundle of hand grenades, ready to blow up the Japanese bunker.

At this time, Wang Jindong's main force had moved to a distance of more than 200 meters from the bridgehead of the Lanxi River Bridge, and some soldiers in the forward position had already touched a distance of about 100 meters from the bridgehead position.

Wang Jindong looked at his watch, the hands on the watch kept moving, and finally pointed to 7:00.

"Start," he ordered.

A messenger behind him fired a signal flare into the sky.

As the signal flare was lifted into the air, the sound of guns suddenly rang out.

Jia Liu on Beishan saw the signal flare rising in the sky, and he immediately ordered to fire.The officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion are all veterans, and all of them have good marksmanship. The place where they ambush is only more than 50 meters away from the Japanese bunker. Most of them can shoot bullets into the Japanese firing holes.Coupled with the blockade of a machine gun, the Japanese army in the bunker could not approach the firing hole at all.

The Japanese soldiers were not afraid of death, but after two Japanese soldiers went up one after another and were killed, none of them dared to go forward again.

Cao Chang of the Japanese army ordered the soldiers to rush out from the entrance and exit of the bunker, but as soon as the two Japanese soldiers showed their heads, they were all shot dead by Li Xiaoshan and the special forces.

The Japanese commander Cao originally thought that the security would be much improved by guarding in the bunker, but now he discovered that the bunker had turned into a coffin.

The main advantage of the bunker is safety, but its disadvantage is that the shooting holes are easily blocked.Therefore, in order to play the role of bunkers, groups of bunkers are usually used to form crossfire.

Cao Chang of the Japanese army knew that the enemy would definitely send someone to blast the bunker next.However, the shooting holes were firmly blocked, and the door of the bunker could not be exited, so he was very anxious.In order to prevent the enemy from approaching the bunker, he ordered the Japanese soldiers to throw grenades blindly from the shooting holes.

The bullets coming in from the firing holes were too dense. The Japanese army threw two grenades and exploded outside. When the third grenade passed through the shooting holes, it was hit by machine gun bullets and fell into the bunker. , it exploded inside.The space inside the bunker is small, and the grenade explosion exerted its greatest power.With just this grenade, all the remaining nine soldiers in the bunker lost their combat effectiveness.

Jia Liu was crawling forward with a grenade in his arms. The grenade thrown by the Japanese army just now almost hit him.For the convenience of action, he simply stood up, so that he could avoid the grenades thrown by the Japanese army, be more flexible, and be able to approach the enemy's bunker faster.

At this moment, Jia Liu saw an explosion in the bunker, and a puff of smoke and dust violently sprayed out from the shooting hole.The entire battle lasted less than 5 minutes, and it was over.

Jia Liu immediately asked the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to fire a signal flare.

That is to say, within one or two minutes, Dongshan and Xishan also raised signal flares.Guo Hengming, Du Shengxi and others also captured the Japanese bunker.After these three bunkers were occupied, they could condescendingly suppress the Japanese and puppet troops in the prisoner-of-war camp.

Chief of Staff Liu saw the signal flares rising from the three hills, and he said excitedly: "Tuan Zuo, the people from Taohua Mountain and the Cavalry Battalion are really good at fighting, and they took down the strong Japanese bunker so quickly."

Wang Jindong was looking in the direction of the bridgehead with a telescope at this time, he nodded and did not speak.

The officers and soldiers of the 792 regiment are also attacking the Japanese bridgehead position on the south side of the bridge.

A reinforced squad of the Japanese army was defending the Lanxi River Bridge.
A total of 40 Japanese soldiers guarded the south side.

On the south side of the bridgehead, two blockhouses and two machine gun positions built with sandbags were built.On both sides of the machine gun position, there are two trenches.Relying on these positions, the Japanese army blocked the attack of the officers and soldiers of the 792 regiment. The 792 regiment brought two mountain artillery and 24 mortars this time. After the battle started, the artillery fired together and blasted at the Japanese bridgehead position.The artillery preparations took a full 5 minutes, and most of the bridgehead positions were destroyed.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, soldiers from two infantry companies of the 792 regiment rushed up.The Japanese army was very tenacious. Although nearly half of the people had been lost in the artillery fire just now, the Japanese soldiers who were alive were still shooting desperately.The area near the bridgehead is all open land, which caused many casualties of the national army soldiers, and the attacking national army soldiers were forced to temporarily stop their attack.

After the battle started, the Japanese commander guarding the bridge didn't understand the target of the national army's attack. He thought that the national army was here to destroy the bridge, so he couldn't let the national army rush to the bridge no matter what. The bridgehead sent 20 soldiers to reinforce the bridgehead on the south side.If he knew that the goal of the national army was only to cross the bridge, he would definitely shrink all his troops to the north side of the bridge.

Wang Jindong was very annoyed and ordered the artillery to fire again.Shells are very expensive, and the average army is basically reluctant to bear a few shells.Wang Jindong didn't care, he was a dignified central army, backed by his father-in-law, rich and powerful, he ordered the artillery to fire again in frustration.This time they fought for a full 10 minutes. Seeing that there were no living people in the Japanese bridgehead, they ordered the troops to attack.

Sure enough, under the violent bombing, the Japanese army was basically killed and injured.Although there were still remaining Japanese soldiers blocking when the soldiers of the 792nd regiment charged, their firepower was too weak, and the soldiers of the 792nd regiment swarmed up and took the bridgehead position.

Wang Jindong was very happy and said: "I have taken down the bridgehead on our side, and the bridgehead to the north is up to Brother Gao Jiu."

Chief of Staff Liu said a little embarrassedly: "Tuan Zuo, the Japanese position in the north, Gao Jiuye has already taken it, and I have seen the signal flares they fired."

Indeed, he had seen the signal flare rising from the north a few minutes ago.However, he saw that Wang Jindong was getting angry at that time, so he didn't have the nerve to tell him.

Gao Jiu and the others made a detour to Niujiawa Village, and from there they crossed the Lanxi River with the people and horses, and arrived near the bridge an hour ago.

After the battle started, they saw some Japanese soldiers running out of the north bridgehead to reinforce the south side of the bridge, so they also launched an attack.

At this time, there were no more than 20 Japanese soldiers left on the south side of the bridge, which was really not enough for Gao Jiu and the special forces team Jiu to grit their teeth.After a round of accurate shooting, there were only a few Japanese soldiers left. A few Japanese soldiers were hiding in the bunker, and Gao Jiu threw two grenades in from the eye, and they were immediately reimbursed.From the start to the end of the battle, it took less than 3 minutes in total.

Gao Jiu and the others don't need to worry about the next battle.

The soldiers of the 792nd regiment passed the Lanxi River Bridge like a tide, and launched an attack on the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp.

The Japanese and puppet troops in the prisoner-of-war camp were very passive. They were blocked by special forces on three hills and soldiers from the cavalry battalion.

The three detachments originally carried six light machine guns, plus two crooked machine guns captured by the Japanese army, and dozens of rifles.The national army is best at fighting such positional and fortified battles. With the support of fierce artillery fire, thousands of soldiers launched a fierce attack. In less than an hour, they completely wiped out the Japanese and puppet troops in the prisoner-of-war camp.

The next step is to collect the spoils and transfer prisoners and wounded.Chief of Staff Liu has made careful arrangements in advance and is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Zhou Mingshan, Qin Feng and others were busy looking for Deputy Director Li among the prisoners of war.

Wang Zhankui stood on the south side of the bridge, waiting for news from the scouts, and prepared to block the reinforcements of the Japanese army.

At the same time as the battle started, all the telephone lines leading to the outside world from the Japanese prisoner-of-war camps had been cut off by the soldiers of the cavalry battalion, and the surrounding Japanese troops did not get any news.

Wang Zhankui waited for an hour, but still no scouts came back to report the movements of the Japanese reinforcements.

During this period, Gao Jiu was not idle either. He first stood at one end of the Lanxi River Bridge, carefully inspected the environment under the bridge, then came to the center of the bridge, tied a rope and climbed down.

The deck of the bridge was nearly 40 meters away from the river below. He descended seventeen or eight meters and came to a step on the main pier. He observed carefully and found that there was complete pouring of concrete, and there was no room for explosives. place.

When bridges were built in the past, when the aviation industry was underdeveloped, the role of bridges was even more important.In order to prevent being used by the enemy during the war, many important bridges are often designed with a self-destruct chamber installed with explosives.

There is a classic song "Ah, Goodbye, Friend", which is very nice, and it is the theme song of a famous Yugoslav movie "The Bridge".This movie describes the story of the Yugoslav partisans who installed explosives in the darkroom on the main pier of the bridge and blew up the bridge.

Gao Jiu looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help being a little disappointed. He thought that perhaps because of the different national conditions, this bridge didn't have such a dark room.

Gao Jiu searched for information on this bridge. The designer of this bridge is Spanish. According to their design concept, there should be such a darkroom.Unwilling to give up, he pulled out the pistol from his waist again, and beat the concrete pier with the handle of the gun. After a short time, he really heard the sound of a hollow inside.This kind of design is very ingenious. It looks like a solid concrete wall on the outside, but in fact there is only a thin layer. If it is needed in the future, it will reveal the dark room inside after breaking it open.

Gao Jiu got the result he wanted, so he climbed onto the bridge deck, and came to the south end of the bridge, and checked the surrounding environment of the bridge from this side.

With the continuation of the war, it might be necessary to blow up the Lanxi River Bridge, but now it's idle anyway, so Gao Jiu made some preparations in advance.After finishing all these, he came to Wang Zhankui's side.

At this time, the 792 regiment had completed the finishing work and had already begun to retreat.
