Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 194 Made a small fortune!
On the south wall.

After hearing the translator's translation of the Eighth Route Army's words, the Japanese squadron leader Goro Mitani's face turned pale.

It’s not that Goro Mitani didn’t want to break out, but that there were Eighth Route Army troops inside and outside the city, and they surrounded them and killed them.

He was sent by the military police captain Tanaka Takeo to the south city wall to ambush the Eighth Route Army.

Unexpectedly, the ambush failed and they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.

"Takeo Tanaka is a complete waste."

From the height of the south city wall, one could naturally see that the gendarmerie headquarters' troops had been completely wiped out.

"This group of locust soldiers is even more unreliable."

Captain Goro Mitani's eyes flickered.

Not only the Eighth Route Army was on guard against the puppet army, but even the Japanese were on guard against the puppet army. The puppet army was suffering from both sides.

After Mitani Goro muttered to the translator for a while, the translator said loudly:
"The locust army said it! Reinforcements are on the way. We just need to hold on for half an hour, and the locust army will arrive to reinforce and completely wipe out this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers! Kill one Eighth Route Army soldier and you'll be rewarded 50 dollars. Kill five Eighth Route Army soldiers and you'll be promoted one rank and rewarded 5 dollars!"

After hearing the translator's call, some of the puppet soldiers, whose eyes were flickering and eager to try, suddenly became hot-eyed.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!

But there are still some puppet soldiers who are afraid of death and are very clear-headed. Even if they have money, they must have the life to spend it!
The puppet troops are most afraid of death. In the current situation, resistance will lead to death.

As for surrendering?

The puppet soldiers wanted to do it, but the Japanese would never agree. Helping the Eighth Route Army to kill the Japanese might give them a chance to survive.

One group of puppet soldiers had their eyes rolling around, while another group of puppet soldiers was determined to make money from the devils.

Just one shout made the morale of the entire puppet army unstable.

The puppet army battalion commander was shouting encouraging words, saying that he had helped the devils kill the Eighth Route Army guerrillas and there was no way he would survive.

The loud voice rang out again: "You have one minute to consider..."

"idiot."

"Da da da…"

Goro Mitani personally operated a Type 92 heavy machine gun and fired a bullet at the place where the call was made, causing dust to rise near the wall.

After the gunfire stopped, the loud voice continued to shout:
"In one minute, we'll open fire and leave no one alive!"

As the propaganda chief finished speaking, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment roared in unison:
"In one minute, we'll open fire and leave no one alive!"

"kill--"

"kill--"

The roar that rose into the sky was like the roar of a wild beast, sweeping with murderous intent, completely breaking the psychological defenses of those fearful puppet soldiers.

"Fight the devils!"

On the south city wall under the cover of night, puppet soldiers shouted loudly.

A group of puppet troops had already planned to attack the devils, and this shout caused a huge uproar.

All the Japanese soldiers were on guard against the puppet troops around them. As soon as they heard the gunshots, they immediately turned their guns around and fired at the puppet troops around them.

"Da da da…"

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, the sound of gunfire and explosions on the south city wall suddenly became a deafening sound.

"Is there really a fight?"

Looking at the battle on the city wall, Zhao Gang's tone was full of surprise.

Li Yunlong smiled slightly. This situation was beyond his expectations, but on the surface he looked like he had everything under control.
"Although this group of puppet troops were a ragtag group before they defected to the enemy, they did fight against the Japanese on the battlefield. If they were a unit like the Nationalist Security Corps, they might not dare to fight against the Japanese."

Zhao Gang said, "Captain, your strategy of defeating the enemy without fighting is impressive."

Zhao Gang was not complimenting, but praising from the bottom of his heart!
It has to be said that Li Yunlong is indeed quite capable in fighting.

"Haha." Li Yunlong laughed, "That's nothing. Everything is under my control."

At this moment, Wang Chengzhu came running over: "Captain, there's fighting on the city wall. Should we fire?"

At this time, the artillery shells had been loaded, the mortar gunners had placed the shells at the muzzles, and dozens of machine guns were pointing at the battlements of the city wall, ready to fire at any time.

Li Yunlong: "Don't fire, save some ammunition."

Wang Chengzhu: “Yes!”

Li Yunlong: "The infantry immediately rushed forward to collect the corn, and the artillery fired flares at the city walls to provide vision for the attacking troops."

Wang Chengzhu and Zhao Gang said in unison: "Yes!"

The puppet army's combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Japs, but on the narrow city wall, both sides were armed with weapons of equality, and the Japs also suffered heavy casualties.

As Li Yunlong's order was issued, the soldiers launched a general attack on the city wall.

"Kill!"

Flares were fired at the city walls continuously.

Figures charging towards the city wall appeared in the sight of the people watching from afar.

Not far away, a military reporter took a photo of the city wall. Fires were flickering on the wall, and Eighth Route Army soldiers were charging forward regardless of their lives below the wall.

In fact, Li Yunlong could also wait until the Japanese and the puppet army finished fighting, then order the artillery unit to fire, and finally let the infantry go up to harvest the corn.

This will minimize the casualties of the new regiment.

but.

Although the New 129st Regiment will go to the north of Zhengtai Road to open up the Jinzhong base, the main force of the th Division will still be in this area. If we watch the puppet troops being killed by the devils, will there be any puppet troops who dare to shoot at the devils at such a critical moment in the future?

This is why the Eighth Route Army treated prisoners well. Not only could it reduce the enemy's fighting will and disintegrate and reduce hostile forces, but it could also help them understand the enemy's intelligence and tactics through prisoners. It could also help them carry out anti-war propaganda and expand anti-Japanese forces.

Of course, if they rushed forward at this time, the casualties of the New 1st Regiment would be extremely low. The Japanese and the puppet troops were busy shooting at each other, so how could they have time to shoot at the Eighth Route Army?

After just a few minutes, the gunshots gradually stopped until they finally disappeared completely.

As Li Yunlong expected, all the Japanese were killed, and only a small number of puppet soldiers survived and were eventually captured.

Li Yunlong said loudly: "Pass my order, the first battalion will clean up the battlefield, and the second and third battalions will be responsible for guarding."

Then Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao, "Xiao Zhao, Zhang Dabiao, come with me to the granary and arsenal."

"Yes."

Immediately, Li Yunlong took Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and the guard company and walked towards the granary and arsenal.

……

at the same time.

Temporary brigade headquarters.

"What did you say? The Japs just left the county town and are retreating again?"

After listening to the report from the communications staff, Chief of Staff Li's tone was filled with surprise.

The brigade commander also frowned slightly.

Li Yunlong attacked Wuxiang County, and the brigade commander realized that this was a good opportunity to encircle the city and attack its reinforcements.

Therefore, the brigade commander personally led the two main regiments, 771 and 772, and prepared an ambush overnight on the road that the Japanese had to pass through to reinforce Wuxiang from Qin County.

Taking advantage of the Japanese's eagerness to rescue the enemy in Wuxiang, the brigade commander planned to teach the Japanese puppet army a lesson. After ambushing and defeating the Japanese puppet army in the wild, he would capture the county seat of Qin County and make a small fortune.

The deputy brigade commander speculated, "Could it be that... our ambush plan was leaked?"

"I don't think so."

The political commissar shook his head. "It's very likely that something went wrong in Wuxiang County. It's possible that Li Yunlong's attack wasn't going well. It's also possible that Li Yunlong has already captured Wuxiang County. There's also another possibility that Li Yunlong has given up on attacking Wuxiang County. All three of these scenarios could cause the Japanese to give up on sending reinforcements."

The brigade commander narrowed his eyes, paced back and forth in the brigade headquarters with his hands behind his back, thinking rapidly.

Chief of Staff Li said.

"It's impossible for Li Yunlong to capture Wuxiang County so quickly, right?"

"There are more than 400 elite devils there, as well as a puppet army infantry battalion, with strong combat effectiveness."

"Even if the Japanese puppet troops can't hold the city walls, they can retreat into the city and engage in street fighting until reinforcements arrive."

According to the speculation of the brigade staff, the New 1st Regiment may not be able to completely eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Wuxiang County until this afternoon.

It's still dark now, how could Li Yunlong possibly capture Wuxiang County?

The brigade commander said, "There's no point in guessing. Send a telegram to Li Yunlong immediately to inquire about the progress of the attack on Wuxiang County."

Chief of Staff Li: "Yes."

……

Wuxiang County.

Japanese military granary.

Wei Qiang saluted and handed over an account book. "Commander, this is the grain depot account book. According to the account book, the Japanese have stockpiled 145 tons of wheat, sorghum, millet and other grains in the Wuxiang grain depot."

Wei Qiang led the assault platoon of the special forces company, dressed in the clothes of the devils and puppet soldiers and approached the granary.

There were not many Japanese soldiers defending the granary, and the soldiers had good weapons, all submachine guns, and the battle was resolved in less than 10 minutes.

After the battle, the soldiers of the assault platoon of the special forces company stayed here to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from burning the food.

"Not bad." Li Yunlong nodded with a satisfied look on his face. "Send a messenger to inform Lao Wang and bring a communications team to the granary to transport the grain."

Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers of the guard company all had happy expressions on their faces.

"Yes." Zhao Gang quickly arranged for the signalman to convey the order.

Li Yunlong: "Go to the armory."

Soon, Li Yunlong and his men rushed to the armory. The reconnaissance platoon leader walked over quickly and straightened his body, "Commander."

"Xiao Wang," Li Yunlong asked impatiently, "How many weapons and ammunition did you seize this time?"

"Report to the regiment commander." Wang Hongcai immediately reported, "I just checked. The Japanese have a total of six munitions depots, half of which are full. There are not many weapons, mostly bullets, grenades, bombs, and some poison gas bombs."

Compared with the assault platoon of the special forces company attacking the grain depot, the reconnaissance platoon's attack on the arsenal was much more thrilling.

After all, it is very easy for a chain reaction to occur during a firefight in an arsenal. Once the arsenal explodes, no one will survive.

Fortunately, the Japanese puppet army did not receive the order to detonate the arsenal, and the whole plan went smoothly.

"Haha." Li Yunlong smiled, "Not bad."

"Commander." Just then, Xiao Zhang, the radio operator, came over quickly, holding a telegram in his hand. "The brigade headquarters sent a telegram, inquiring about the progress of our regiment's attack on Wuxiang County."

Before setting off, Li Yunlong sent a signalman to deliver the New 1st Regiment's combat plan to attack Wuxiang County to the brigade headquarters.

Therefore, Li Yunlong was not surprised when the brigade headquarters learned that the New 1st Regiment was attacking Wuxiang County.

"Immediately call the brigade commander back and tell him that our troops launched an attack on the enemy in Wuxiang at 4:800. After half an hour of fighting, we have successfully recaptured Wuxiang County, wiped out more than Japanese and puppet troops, seized a large amount of food and ammunition, and made a small fortune."

"Yes." After Xiao Zhang drafted the telegram and gave it to Li Yunlong for signature, he quickly went to send the telegram.
