Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Wu Qinghe was really envious and jealous.

He had been in the army for almost twenty years before he became deputy regimental commander. Some people became regimental political commissars at the age of seventeen. It was really frustrating to compare yourself to others. But Wu Qinghe quickly put all this aside and said, "Commander Wang, I heard from Brother Dahu that your guerrilla army is going to attack the county town?"

"Captain Wu, let's talk inside."

"it is good."

Wu Qinghe followed Wang Qiuhong and Wei Hongjun into the command headquarters.

simple.

There was a fire burning in the house, but it was still a little cold. Wei Hongjun poured Wu Qinghe a cup of hot water and then sat down.

Wang Qiuyun pointed to the county town on the sand table and said, "Sheng County is mountainous, but there aren't any insurmountable mountains around it. The walls surrounding Sheng County are very low, only about five or six meters high. Furthermore, they're made of earth and aren't very strong. Of course, the most important thing is that there aren't many Japanese troops in the county town right now. If you add up the mess of Japanese soldiers, there are probably only about fifty of them. The rest are traitorous troops they've expanded recently. These traitorous troops are fine at bullying the common people; they don't know how to fight. This is a good opportunity. Let's take over the county town and divide up the things inside. Both our families will become wealthy."

"Commander Wang, may I ask how many men and guns are there in your guerrilla army?"

"A thousand men and guns."

"one thousand?"

Wu Qinghe was a little unconvinced.

Wu Qinghe knew about the situation of the Zhangjiagou Village guerrillas. Although there were many hunters in the Zhangjiagou Village area, the Zhangjiagou Village guerrillas had less than a hundred people when they were established. How did they have a thousand people now? Even if there were a thousand people, where did the thousand guns come from?

Seeing that Wu Qinghe didn't believe it, Wei Hongjun explained, "Captain Wu, in our first battle, we ambushed a Japanese convoy. In addition to seizing weapons from the Japanese and traitor troops, we also seized weapons and ammunition they were preparing to give to the security group. They were transporting more than a hundred brand-new Jin-made Type 65 rifles alone. Later, we defeated a Japanese squadron and seized nearly three hundred guns. The troops then made a long raid on Yangquan Town and Xiaquan Town, seizing nearly two hundred more guns. Recently, the Caoyangzhuang guerrillas and the rural village protection teams in the Songjiazhuang area have joined our guerrilla army. They all joined our guerrilla army with guns, more than three hundred guns of various types, nearly four hundred. Now we are strong in both men and horses. In addition to light machine guns, we also have grenade launchers and heavy machine guns. There is no problem in taking the county town."

After hearing this, Wu Qinghe couldn't close his mouth at all.

The guerrilla army's development speed is simply too rapid.

In just two months, the guerrilla army had grown from a scattered force of less than a hundred to over a thousand men, armed with over a thousand guns. Wu Qinghe, however, was puzzled and asked, "Since the guerrilla army is so strong, why are they joining us in attacking the county?"

"Captain Wu, I won't hide it from you."

Wang Qiuyun smiled bitterly and said, "Our guerrilla army is developing rapidly. We have many people and many guns now, but the only problem is that we have too many new recruits. Even if we take the county town, our casualties will be very high. We are just starting to develop, and if there are too many casualties, it will directly affect the morale of the troops. Your 29th Army is a heroic unit in the anti-Japanese battlefield, and we have heard about your combat effectiveness. Originally, we wanted to invite you to attack the county town together with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. But we didn't expect that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would become the Second Regiment of the National Salvation Army. Who is that Feng Anmin who suddenly appeared? When we were fighting the devils, we didn't know where he was hiding. Now he wants to come out to reap the fruits, of course we don't like it. So we only invited you."

Wu Qinghe suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

But I don’t agree with it in my heart.

He believed half of what Wang Qiuyun said. That was that the guerrilla army had many new recruits, and that attacking the county town would result in many casualties. As for the rest, he didn't completely believe it. However, Wu Qinghe did understand that the relationship between the guerrilla army and Feng Anmin was not good.

"Commander Wang, how are you going to attack the county town?"

"Chief of Staff, please introduce him to Captain Wu."

"Yes."

Zhang Dahu stepped forward and said, "In this battle, we must completely annihilate the Japanese troops and the traitorous armed forces in the city. Our plan is to launch two feint attacks and two main attacks. Our guerrilla army has many new recruits and a large number of people. Therefore, we will launch a feint attack at the east and south gates of the county town, deploying about 500 to 600 people. Draw the main force of the Japanese troops in the city to the east and south gates. Then, our guerrilla army will concentrate its elite troops to assault the north gate. Commander Wu's troops will attack the west gate. Before the Japanese can react, our two forces will capture the north and west gates. This is a deployment based on the small number of Japanese troops. They only have 50 people. If we attack from all sides, they will lose sight of one and lose another."

"How do we divide the things in the city?"

"Divide it into three parts, one for Captain Wu's unit and two for us. Captain Wu, please don't object for now. Our guerrilla army has deployed a thousand people, including grenade launchers and heavy machine guns, while you only have a little over a hundred. Moreover, there are not only Japanese goods in the city, but also those of the traitors. Even if it's one-third of the supplies, I'm still worried that you don't have enough people to transport them."

Wu Qinghe was thinking in his mind.

One-third of the supplies was indeed enough for them. However, he couldn't just accept it like that. It seemed like he was getting a great deal. So Wu Qinghe waved his hand and said, "Then I'll give in. This is the first time we've all cooperated to fight the Japanese devils. Besides, I'm the big brother, so how can I be so petty? Just one-third."

Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun smiled at each other.

He understood that Wu Qinghe in front of him was a typical person who was both rough and careful. On the surface, he seemed to be a rough man, but in his heart he had many ulterior motives.

"Then we will cooperate happily."

Chapter 047: Attacking Sheng County

1937 11 Month 21 Day.

Shengxian County seat.

Wei Hongjun brought the guerrilla army's first and second teams, independent team, recruit team, logistics team, and the Shengxian County Brigade composed of the Songjiazhuang rural village protection team, a total of more than 700 troops to the attack site.

Wuyang Wuyang's.

Attack Shengxian County, where the east and south gates are easier to attack.

"Mr. Aso, this is the guerrilla army."

"Why are there so many of them?"

Aso and Akashi felt their scalps tingling.

Of course, he had seen such scenes before. Aso Akashi had fought in major battles with the army, including the battle against the 29th Army after the July 7 Incident. The 29th Army had over 100,000 men.

A few years ago, during the Great Wall War of Resistance, the battle was even more massive. The Northeastern Army, the Northwestern Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Central Army—over a hundred thousand troops—clashed head-on. They all participated in those battles. How could a guerrilla army of a few hundred people compare to those battles?

But the situation is different.

The Japanese army also had a large number of troops at that time.

But now?

Aso Akashi had only a Japanese army of less than fifty men under his command. Of these fifty, nearly ten were former civilians. While they could fight, they were no match for the warriors on the battlefield.

As for Zheng Jinsheng next to him, Aso Akashi really disliked him.

A dandy boy.

Asked to rebuild the security corps, Zheng Jinsheng found a bunch of garbage. Those people were always bullying the common people, but when asked to do anything, they just pushed it aside. As for asking them to fight, Aso Akashi didn't believe it at all.

Just don't hold yourself back.

But there is nothing I can do.

After two defeats, the Japanese army was too small. Although they had asked for help, the current situation was that the enemy's rear was full of anti-Japanese forces. Many places had lost their counties one after another, and the Japanese army could not send any reinforcements. As a result, Aso Akashi had not seen any reinforcements arrive yet. With the current strength of the Japanese army, it was impossible to maintain the situation, and they could only rely on these traitors. Zheng Jinsheng's legs were shaking with fear, and he said tremblingly: "Mr. Aso, I have inquired. The guerrilla army has been recruiting soldiers recently. Many of the Caoyangzhuang guerrillas and the village protection teams in District 4 have joined the guerrilla army. That's why their troops have expanded so much."

"This should be their main force?"

"Their people are probably all here. Mr. Aso, look at them, they all have guns in their hands. So many armed troops must be their main force. They are concentrating so many troops, are they going to attack the city?"

"damn it."

Aso Akashi had a headache.

In the past, he wouldn't have been afraid of this rabble. Instead, he would have been delighted and led his squadron directly into the attack. But now it was different. Aso Akashi was truly nervous. At a glance, there were seven or eight hundred people. Although these people were a rabble, they all had guns.

"Place the heavy machine guns on both sides to guard against guerrilla attacks."

Although Aso Akashi was also worried about the north gate and the west gate, there was nothing he could do now.

The troops at his disposal were insufficient, and with so many people gathered at the East and South Gates, he could only leave a small number of troops at the North and West Gates, and withdraw the rest to focus on defending the East and South Gates.

Since Wei Hongjun was going to launch a feint attack, he had to make sufficient gestures.

This is not something that can be done by just putting a few people in randomly.

Therefore, the guerrilla army's feint attack troops kept digging trenches. By digging trenches, they kept getting closer to the city wall. Wei Hongjun was not in a hurry because there were no other Japanese troops near Sheng County, so there was plenty of time.

Aso Akashi watched the guerrillas getting closer and closer to the city wall and immediately said, "Shoot! We can't let them get any closer."

"boom"

"Da da da"

Heavy machine guns also opened fire.

The guerrilla troops immediately retreated into the trenches. They faced the enemy's heavy machine guns head-on, clearly demonstrating their power. With their rifles firing, you couldn't even raise your head.

Fortunately, the feint attack troops deployed by Wei Hongjun consisted of several echelons.

It is impossible for heavy machine guns to visit all of them.

Other positions not targeted by the heavy machine guns were still able to fight back. The last time they attacked Baldy Pan, they were quite effective. Although many of them hadn't killed a single bandit, at least they had gained courage.

This time when the Japanese heavy machine guns opened fire, at least no one was so scared that they dropped their guns.

But overall it is still at a disadvantage.

In fact, this is the real battlefield. Although there are many guerrillas, many of them are new recruits. In addition, the Japanese army's weapons are really good. Although they lost a lot of heavy weapons in the last war, they still have a lot of heavy weapons.

Generally speaking, Japanese squadrons are rarely equipped with heavy machine guns.

But Aso Akashi's Japanese squadron was different from the others. Because they were pursuing the 29th Army, they were a combat unit, becoming a reinforced squadron. While pursuing the 29th Army, the regiment assigned them a fire squadron, primarily equipped with heavy machine gun units.

They had lost four heavy machine guns last time, but there were still four more within the city. Therefore, the Japanese troops deployed six grenade launchers and four heavy machine guns on the walls of the East and South Gates. This firepower was still too much for the guerrillas' new recruits to withstand.

In addition to heavy weapons, the Japanese army also has good marksmanship.

Although the Japanese army can't say that they can hit the target every time at close range, their hit rate is still very high. If you are not careful, you will be hit by the Japanese army.

Wei Hongjun looked at the wall and felt that the Japanese heavy weapons had indeed arrived. However, the security forces were not numerous. They were probably still deployed at the north and west gates.

Although the security team has little combat effectiveness, they are not holding fire sticks.

Even with the city walls, the attacking forces would still suffer heavy casualties. Wei Hongjun wanted to transfer them here as well. Therefore, he gave the order: "Let our heavy machine guns fire to suppress the enemy's firepower. But be careful of the enemy's grenade launchers. After firing to warn the Japanese, quickly evacuate the position and move to another location."

"Yes."

In order to make the Japanese believe that this was the main attack, Wei Hongjun also brought one of the guerrilla army's only two heavy machine guns.

"Da da da"

When the Japanese army and the guerrillas were shooting at each other, the heavy machine guns on the guerrilla side suddenly sounded.

Heavy machine guns are powerful weapons for either side.

The guerrillas' heavy machine guns suddenly opened fire, causing casualties among the Japanese troops and security groups near the city wall. In particular, some of the security groups became complacent when they saw that the Japanese army had firmly suppressed the guerrillas.

I didn't expect to be directly shot by a heavy machine gun.

Zheng Jinsheng was also startled. He immediately came to Aso Akashi and said, "Mr. Aso, the guerrillas have started using heavy machine guns."

"Grenade launcher, grenade launcher. Take out the enemy's heavy machine gun."

"Boom boom"

Before the Japanese army could counterattack, the guerrillas took advantage of the opportunity when the Japanese army was suppressed by heavy machine guns.

Throw a grenade forward immediately.

They threw grenades mainly to block the Japanese army's sight. Then some guerrilla soldiers in the front rushed over and threw grenades directly at the city wall from a distance. A feint attack does not mean not attacking.

Although Wei Hongjun felt sorry for the new recruits, how could they grow without experiencing war?

So necessary sacrifices must be made.

At the same time, pressure must be applied to the east and south to give the main attacking force a chance. So when it is time to charge, the troops must charge.
