Li Yunlong was shocked by hosting the independent group at the beginning

However, the subsequent performance of these temporary gunners made Zhao Mingyi quite satisfied. An enemy light tank suddenly knocked away the truck that was half-way on the road, and appeared in front of everyone.

The guns blared and rushed towards the heavy machine gun bunker. Although the machine gun shooter was still squatting in the bunker and firing at the infantry behind the tank, sweat dripped down his forehead involuntarily.

No one would perform better in this situation. At the moment when the enemy tank was about to run over the bunker, two anti-tank shells hit the front armor and road wheels of the enemy light tank almost simultaneously. .

The enemy's light tanks suddenly stopped moving if they were struck by lightning, and they were paralyzed in front of the bunker. The few infantry who followed the tank were out of luck.

The two riflemen covering the machine gunner threw seven or eight grenades under their feet. After a violent flash, the fragmented corpses of these enemy infantrymen flew everywhere.

At this time, a few tank soldiers jumped out of the tank under the cover of smoke. Fortunately, they were not knocked down by bullets. However, this tank was also destroyed by the Huaxia army, which dealt a great blow to those enemy soldiers, and their morale, which was already very low, fell to the lowest point.

Chapter 273 It's All About You

The continuous blows caused them heavy losses, and the fighting for more than an hour almost wiped out the entire army of the fleeing enemy brigade.

More than 300 enemy infantry and tank soldiers died, and fourteen trucks and three light tanks were reduced to a heap of flaming and smoking steel wreckage.

In this way, Luo Songzhuang was taken back from the enemy by Zhao Mingyi, and the front line that was on the verge of collapse was stabilized again, and the crisis was temporarily resolved.

The first confrontation between Kondo's troops and Li Feng's Houyi Division ended with Kondo losing a brigade and a tank squadron.

"I want to award him a medal." After learning about Zhao Mingyi's heroic behavior, Li Feng immediately connected Chen Mingtian's call, "Head Chen, I want to recommend him to win the Golden Tripod Medal and promote him to be the deputy of the Shangqiu regiment." Captain."

"Thank you for the command, but this time the position was lost and recovered, and the troops suffered a large loss. Reinforcements are needed to complete the blocking mission."

"Commander Chen, I am very aware of your difficult situation and the difficulties of the troops, but the current battles on other fronts are also very fierce. I may not be able to give you strong reinforcements, but please rest assured that everyone will never forget you. Reinforcement troops are on the way, and this is the only reinforcement I can send at the moment. Next, you can only rely on yourself. Please tell the brothers in the Shangqiu regiment that the motherland will not forget them."

"Commander Li, please rest assured that the enemy will never occupy an inch of ground again. From now on, the only thing that will greet the enemy is death, and only death can occupy the position here."

The soldiers of the 3th Company of the 10rd Battalion of the Shangqiu Regiment fulfilled their oath with practical actions in this way. The enemy dispatched 10 tanks and [-] armored vehicles at one time. position.

The soldiers of the 10th company did not have anti-tank weapons, and could only wait for the enemy to approach before using cluster grenades and other weapons to attack at close range.

The 10th company's position is just a security position in front of Platform Town. I really didn't expect the enemy to dispatch more than 20 armored vehicles to attack a company-level position with such effort.

The scene was spectacular, for the enemy bandits, and for the Chinese people, it was a very tragic scene, because these dozens of armored vehicles were not advancing after approaching the position of the 10th company, but used artillery and machine guns to attack the Chinese soldiers trapped in the trenches. volley.

Every firepower point or foxhole will be attacked by two or three tanks of the enemy. This kind of power is destructive to the officers and soldiers of the 10th company, and the Chinese soldiers with poor equipment cannot resist this kind of power at all.

This devastating artillery attack lasted for more than half an hour, which was obviously a revenge for the previous Luo Songzhuang battle.

In the battalion headquarters of the 3rd Battalion in the direction of Platform Town, Zhao Mingyi cried bitterly. More than 40 good brothers just left like this, not even a spark left behind.

However, after the enemy army destroyed the position of the 10th company, they did not continue to march, but withdrew back.

At the same time, the military envoy they sent to persuade them to surrender also arrived in Platform Town. The enemy sent Zhao Mingyi a letter personally written by Wang Jingwei to persuade Zhao Mingyi to surrender.

The major general of the new Seventeenth Division of the National Salvation Army will be in command. Of course, the premise is that he will lead the troops to hand over Platform Town.

Zhao Mingyi pondered for a while, and wrote a reply letter to the enemy. Kondo was overjoyed when he received the letter. Zhao Mingyi said in the letter that he would lead the troops to surrender.

But let the old people in Platform Town surrender first to see if the enemy is sincere. The time is set in the early morning of the next day, and Kondo is a little dissatisfied when he sees this.

Because there is not much time left for him, the offensive launched by the Huaxia Army's rescue troops in the north is constantly eroding the enemy troops defending the northern front. Fujita sent three telegrams a day urging Kondo to speed up the advance. Due to the pressure from Shangfeng, he also increased the pressure on Kondo, but he still reminded Kondo to take into account the casualties of the troops, and to achieve results while reducing casualties.

However, Kondo still replied a letter to Zhao Mingyi, agreeing to his request, but while waiting for the dawn of the next day, Kondo did not sit idle and stepped up his attack on Luosongzhuang.

Regardless of whether Zhao Mingyi really surrendered or pretended to surrender the next day, as long as Luosongzhuang was captured, Platform Town would be in isolation. Even if they didn't surrender, the only thing waiting for the Huaxia people was the annihilation of the entire army.

To Kondo's surprise, the Huaxia army guarding Luosongzhuang withstood several of his attacks. The Chinese army in Luosongzhuang was obviously strengthened, and the equipment was also different from the previous period.

They had the support of anti-tank guns. To Kondo's surprise, several Type 500 medium tanks were penetrated at a distance of 88 meters from Luo Songzhuang. These were obviously [-]mm anti-aircraft guns imported from Germany. credit.

This is the reinforcement that Li Feng told Chen Mingtian on the phone.

Although the fighting in other areas of Shangqiu was also very fierce, Li Feng dispatched a reinforcement company of the 33rd Division from the limited reserve force, and let them rush to Luosong with a 37mm anti-tank gun and an 88mm anti-aircraft gun. village.

In addition to the three mortars, two small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and two Japanese-made anti-tank guns captured in the early stage, the artillery support firepower of the 1st Battalion of the Shangqiu Regiment guarding Luosongzhuang reached as many as nine artillery pieces. All attacks came back in vain.

Luo Songzhuang is now like a hedgehog. Although Kondo's tank troops can defeat tens of thousands of enemy troops in the wild, facing the 1st Battalion guarding Luo Songzhuang, the enemy has nothing to do.

In a whole day, the enemy attacked six times, leaving behind the wreckage of seven tanks and twelve armored vehicles, not to mention the corpses of hundreds of infantry lying in between. Surrender to the contract is at the straw.

As soon as the first ray of morning light entered Platform Town on May [-]th, hundreds of white-haired old men from Platform Town walked together, bypassing the fortifications around the town.

The old people in front were still holding white flags in their hands, and the people following behind were holding a dozen cows in their hands. There were more than a dozen large boxes on the backs of the cows, which seemed to be some treasures.

These old men slowly approached the field tents of the Murayama Regiment barracks, and the enemy soldiers who surrounded Platform Town made way for them. These young Japanese soldiers looked at these old men who were old enough to be their grandfathers.

Silent, these old people were expressionless, and drove the cattle to move on.

Murayama, the commander of the enemy army who was ordered to surrender, was not at ease. He sent soldiers to open the box and found that there were full boxes of silver dollars inside. The Japanese soldiers were very happy.

They looked at the silver dollar, looked at the fat cow, and said in their hearts: "We can eat meat tonight."

Chapter 274 Disappeared without a trace

So they waved their bayonets and said kindly to these old people: "Yoxi, you are very well, open the way."

Mr. Murayama had already sent someone to call over a dozen reporters to take pictures of the surrender ceremony. Since the soldiers had already checked, no problems were found.

Murayama immediately ordered his adjutant to call these reporters out to prepare for the surrender ceremony. Some of them were sent by the pro-Japanese Wang Jingwei, and most of them were reporters from the Japanese invaders. Murayama wanted to hold a very grand surrender ceremony.

After all, the battle a while ago was really tough, and he wanted to use this surrender ceremony to get rid of bad luck.

To Murayama's surprise, Kondo's chief of staff, Kitano Osamu, also drove to participate in the surrender ceremony. It stands to reason that the surrender of a mere battalion of the Chinese army should not have caused such a big reaction from the enemy.

However, the current situation is different. The enemy troops stopped at Platform Town and Luosongzhuang. It is precisely hope that the surrender of the defenders in these two places will allow them to achieve a decisive breakthrough and deal a fatal blow to the Huaxia army.

Therefore, Kondo also attached great importance to this surrender ceremony. He wanted to let the surrendering Chinese see that the enemy bandits were no longer the fierce and easy-to-kill enemies. They would be valued and reused, as long as they were willing to bring the Japanese invaders into Shangqiu.

Murayama set up a large platform in front of his tent, and the hundreds of white-haired old men also entered the barracks of the Murayama Regiment at this time, and a dozen boxes were carried by the enemy soldiers to the surrender platform.

Murayama instructed the Japanese reporters to make a silk banner of Dongya Co-prosperity Model in advance, and it was also hung on the platform. Murayama was very happy to order the enemy soldiers to take the cattle away and prepare to entertain these Chinese old people.

At 08:30, the surrender ceremony officially began, and Murayama asked Kitano to speak first.

Kitano nodded and came to the stage, coughing twice into the loudspeaker.

After trying the effect, he said to the old people in the audience with a smile on his face: "The imperial army is very grateful to the Huaxia elders in Platform Town for making a wise choice. Protect you Huaxia people, and come here for the common prosperity of Dadong."

"For hundreds of years, the white people have burned, killed and looted here and brutally ruled the yellow people. Yazhou has become a paradise for their white people, so the Japanese imperial army came here to make Yazhou the Yazhou people's Yazhou. China The national government's stupid rebellion against the imperial army, coupled with the fact that some soldiers of the imperial army lost their military discipline, caused harm to some Chinese people."

"I deeply regret this, and the imperial army has also severely punished those soldiers who violated military discipline. Please believe in the sincerity of the imperial army. You are here to help China and the common prosperity of Greater East Asia."

No matter what he says, the hype is useless, the Japanese invaders are the Japanese invaders.

Sima Nan, secretary general of Platform Town, and Wei An, a business owner in the north of the town, walked onto the platform slowly. It is a new chapter in the friendship between the Chinese and Japanese peoples."
