Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    From the bottom of his heart, Lieutenant Colonel Kato, the captain of the Gaizhou Garrison Brigade of the Kwantung Army, was very unfavorable about the approach of Major Fukuoka, the captain of the Military Police Brigade, rushing to the west bank of the Daqing River to block the independent division. With only more than 1,200 troops, it was only a mere 1,200 troops.  More than twenty mortars were rushed into battle in a hurry. There was not even a trench, and there were no favorable terrain conditions on the west bank of the Daqing River. If Fukuoka did this, it would cost the lives of more than a thousand imperial soldiers!

    Lieutenant Colonel Kato was even more worried about how to defend Gaizhou. There was only one brigade with less than 1,500 troops. Gaizhou did not have a solid city wall and was a place for four attacks. Although fortifications were built outside the city,  But there must be soldiers to defend it, right?

    As for the strength of a reinforced regiment of the Manchurian Army in Gaizhou City, Lieutenant Colonel Kato did not count on these Manchus at all. After racking his brains for a long time, he finally made a decision to shrink all the troops in the center of Gaizhou.  The urban area includes a reinforced regiment of the Manchukuo Army and the police. In this way, at least when the independent division troops attack, they will not be defeated one by one due to the dispersion of troops.

    As long as we hold on to the central city of Gaizhou until the retreating 109th Division of the Third Army and the first and second detachments of the Kwantung Army arrive, the siege of Gaizhou can be solved immediately. After making up his mind, Lieutenant Colonel Kato immediately seized the  He gave a series of orders on the phone. As soon as he put down the phone, he heard fierce gunfire ringing in Gaizhou City. His face turned pale.

    Kato Nakasa never expected that the independent division troops would arrive so quickly. The Fukuoka Military Police Battalion had just set out less than three hours ago. How come the battle started in the urban area of ??Gaizhou? Isn¡¯t that true?  Has the military police brigade in Fukuoka been completely wiped out?

    What¡¯s even worse is that several squadrons of the security brigade are scattered in the urban area of ??Gaizhou, and there is no time to assemble the troops Lieutenant Colonel Kato currently has.  With less than one squadron, the idea of ??sticking to the center of the city has come to nothing. He knew that Gaizhou could not be saved. Lieutenant Colonel Kato smiled miserably.  After closing the door of the security brigade captain's office, more than ten minutes later, there was a painful scream, but it was covered up by the fierce gunfire from other Kwantung Army soldiers.  Not heard at all.

    Wan Lipeng commanded the troops and divided them into four groups. They rushed into the urban area of ??Gaizhou without encountering any resistance. After the troops rushed in, they immediately fought in company units along the streets and alleys.  Fierce gunfire suddenly rang out in every corner of the city.

    In line with the Gaizhou Garrison Brigade of the Kwantung Army, the Manchukuo reinforcement regiment in Gaizhou was unlucky. They were gathering in the direction of the Garrison Brigade Headquarters in accordance with the order of Captain Kato. After the troops of the Ninth Brigade rushed into Gaizhou, the two sides came  A sudden encounter, almost bumping into each other, a hand-to-hand encounter.  What matters is the tactical literacy and battlefield experience of the troops, as well as the quality of the weapons.

    When the soldiers of the Kwantung Army and the Manchukuo Army pulled the bolt to fire a single shot, a dense burst of submachine gun bullets poured over them like raindrops.  The Type 38 rifle was the opponent of the Somi submachine gun. The intensive shooting at close range hit the Kwantung Army soldiers and the Manchukuo Army soldiers. Their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and their bodies were like sieves. However, the troops of the Ninth Brigade only had  A few warriors fell.

    The asymmetrical battle, almost a one-sided massacre, and the smooth capture of Gaizhou made Wan Lipeng feel unrealistic. When he calmed down and thought about it, he really felt lucky. If it weren't for the little Japanese and the second Japanese, he wouldn't have committed the crime.  That evil force left their respective military camps and ran in the same direction along the streets. The Ninth Brigade, with only more than 4,000 troops, would be forced to remove the little Japanese strongholds one by one.  It will take a lot of trouble to get up, not to mention the time wasted, the casualties of the troops will not be small!

    The gunfire in urban Gaizhou gradually became sparse, which meant that the battle was basically over. After Wan Lipeng met with Chief of Staff Xu Lei, under the protection of the guard company, they headed towards the Gaizhou Guard Brigade Headquarters of the Kwantung Army. There,  It was the center of Gaizhou and had been captured by a company of the third battalion. Less than a squadron of the Kwantung Army was completely wiped out.

    When Wan Lipeng arrived, he saw that the originally impressive five-story building was almost empty, and every window was blackened by gunpowder smoke, like a black hole. He clucked his lips and muttered, "What a pity."  !" Let the staff call over to the company commander who is directing the soldiers to clean up the broken bricks.

    The commander of the first company of the third battalion was a young captain. He looked sharp and capable. Even though he had just finished the battle, his uniform was neat and tidy. He ran over quickly, stood at attention, saluted, and shouted: "Report to the brigade commander, the second regiment."  The commander of the third battalion and the first company, Zheng Zhijun, reports to you and asks the brigade commander for instructions!"

    Wan Lipeng knew all the company-level officers of the Ninth Brigade. He looked Zheng Zhijun up and down, pointed at the building and said: "Zheng Zhijun, your soldiers did this? I said why don't you think better?"  A building was made into a black hole by you. How many artillery shells hit it? You said, my brigade headquartersWhere is it?  "

    Zheng Zhijun scratched his head in embarrassment and explained: "Brigadier, I'm sorry, the situation at that time was that the little Japs in the building were resisting very fiercely, and the machine guns were firing like raindrops. A strong attack was impossible. The mission was  I was in a hurry, so I concentrated all the rocket launchers and recoilless rifles from the entire company. Starting from the first floor, I hit the windows one by one. I wiped out a hundred or so little devils, and that¡¯s what the building looked like!¡±

    "Hahaha!" Wan Lipeng laughed loudly, punched Zheng Zhijun, and said, "Yes, I know how to use my brain. The soldiers of my ninth brigade are not only good at field combat, but also in urban street fighting. Don't you think so?"  Oh, Chief of Staff?¡±

    Colonel Xu Lei, the chief of staff, couldn't help grinning and said to himself: "When did the brigade commander learn to brag? The most basic street fighting tactics, the commanders of the Marine Corps brigade at all levels are not good at it, oh, it's just us  Will the Ninth Brigade fight?"

    Wan Lipeng didn't notice Xu Lei's expression and said to Zheng Zhijun: "Since you were the one who shot it down, then you are responsible for cleaning it up!" As soon as he finished speaking, intensive gunshots came from the south of Gaizhou.  It was also mixed with the explosion of grenades, and judging by the intensity of the gunshots, the location where the battle occurred was no more than a dozen kilometers away.

    Wan Lipeng's face changed drastically and he exclaimed, "No, the little Japs who retreated from the middle and west roads have arrived in Gaizhou. Chief of Staff, you must gather your troops immediately and rush to the south of Gaizhou to set up defenses. There is also Zheng Zhijun in the guard company.  Take your company and follow me!"

    Zhuanzi Mountain in the south of Gaizhou is a small hill. The hill is covered with dense bushes and tall trees. A dirt road goes over the hill. After walking down the hill for more than ten kilometers, you will reach the place.  Arriving at Gaizhou is the only way to Gaizhou from the south.

    Of course, there are other roads that also lead to Gaizhou, but they have to go around thirty-four kilometers. When Wan Lipeng led two companies of troops to Roanzi Mountain, a small-scale battle broke out.  The fight was fierce.

    Along the way, Wan Lipeng kept thinking about which army was fighting with the Japs. His own army had not had time to set up defenses here. After arriving at the battlefield, he could tell at a glance that on the hill, relying on temporary excavations,  The simple fortifications and the soldiers who fired calmly and calmly were from the independent division, but they were by no means soldiers from their own brigade. They were not many in number, only about a hundred or so, but it was obvious that they were all veterans and were skilled in tactical movements.  The gun shot accurately and hard!

    Under the hill, there were about 400 Japanese soldiers, who were desperately attacking the hill. However, under the guns of the independent division soldiers, their bodies were beaten so hard that they could not lift their heads.

    When Wan Lipeng led his troops and rushed up the hill, the soldiers of the Independent Division on the hill saw reinforcements coming. At that time, their morale was greatly boosted and they no longer saved ammunition. The muzzles of their submachine guns jumped happily, and the dense bullets hit the mountain.  Smoke and dust were everywhere under the post.

    Wan Lipeng waved his hand, and soldiers from Zheng Zhijun Company and Guard Company immediately entered the position. More than a dozen mortars were also set up. The mortar shells roared and fell on the pile of Japanese soldiers below the hill, exploding clouds of smoke.  , the light and heavy machine guns also began to roar. The Japanese troops below the hill were suddenly hit by fierce firepower. They suffered heavy casualties at that time, and their bodies were torn apart by the shells.

    Wan Lipeng breathed a long sigh of relief, "What a risk, we finally blocked the little Japs! Without this group of soldiers, this battle would have started in the suburbs of Gaizhou, and we would have lost the most advantageous blocking area of ??Roanzi Mountain!"  "

    However, Wan Lipeng was stopped in the woods below the hill by the commander of the guard company. He called over a staff officer and ordered: "Go and ask, which unit is it? Let their commander come to see me!"

    After a while, a captain officer with a tired face, dusty face, and his military uniform was in tatters, followed the staff officer, came in front of Wan Lipeng, and gave a neat military salute, "Report to Brigadier Wan, the 3rd  Liu Zijian, captain of the advance team of the 1st Brigade of the 29th Corps, led by one hundred and twenty team members, is reporting to you, please give me instructions, sir!"

    Wan Lipeng laughed and said: "They are soldiers from Jing Zhanqi, Captain Liu, you came very quickly! How is the retreat of the Japanese troops along the way? Just wait a moment!" He turned around and said to the staff:  "Order the troops to attack immediately and deal with these little devils!"

    Amidst the shouts of the troops charging, Liu Zijian introduced in detail the situation of the retreating Japanese troops along the way, which gave Wan Lipeng a sense of confidence. At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Except for the small group of Japanese troops who were being beaten, the retreating Japanese troops  The main force of the Japanese army is still half a day away from Gaizhou, which is enough for them to prepare themselves.

    After Liu Zijian finished reporting the situation, Wan Lipeng looked at his tired face and said: "Captain Liu, I happen to be short of troops. You and your advance team will be temporarily integrated into my army. Seeing that the soldiers are very tired, okay  , first go to Gaizhou City, have a full meal, the whole team has a day off, I will give you a task??!  "
