Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

"Sir Lieutenant, where do we break out from?"

"North Gate or West Gate, break out that way."

Chapter 049 Recapture of Sheng County 2

The Japanese army retreated, and Wei Hongjun outside knew it immediately.

After the Japanese retreated, the grenade launchers and heavy machine guns, which posed the greatest threat to the guerrillas, immediately fell silent. Wei Hongjun waited for a while, and when he found that the Japanese had indeed retreated, he immediately waved his flag and ordered his troops to attack.

The battle lasted for more than an hour.

Six Japanese soldiers were killed, and more than thirty guerrilla soldiers were killed.

Although it was a feint, it still put a lot of pressure on the Japanese army and also caused heavy casualties to the guerrillas. The Japanese army was indeed composed of veterans, and their marksmanship was very good. The guerrilla casualties were more from their rifles than from heavy machine guns. However, Wei Hongjun was still very satisfied. It wasn't that Wei Hongjun was cruel, it was just the way he led troops in battle.

As the saying goes, a kind person cannot lead an army.

Today's guerrilla army needs this kind of blood and fire training to grow. Although this siege was just a feint, the first team, the second team, the independent team, the county team, and the new recruit team all took turns to participate in the attack.

All experienced war.

The experience they experienced was more effective than their usual half-month training.

"boom"

"Da da da"

Not long after Wei Hongjun entered the city, the gunfire that had subsided rang out again.

"Gao Wei."

"arrive."

"Take a team to where the gunfire came from and bring the heavy machine guns. It's probably where the commander and the Japanese army ran into each other."

"Yes."

"Tao Laifeng."

"arrive."

"Take the second team and guard the east and south gates. No one is allowed to leave the city without orders."

"Yes."

"Wang Quan, Qi Lang."

"arrive."

"Take the new recruits and the logistics team and seize all the important places in the city. Also, keep a close eye on all the traitors in the city. If any traitor escapes, you two will bear full responsibility."

"Yes."

This time when attacking the county town, Wei Hongjun was not interested in Sheng County.

For the Eighth Route Army, which operates in rural areas year-round, cities are not essential at this time. Although the guerrilla army appears to be very powerful at present, it will still have to give up the county seat if the Japanese army returns in the future. The guerrilla army does not have the strength to occupy the county seat year-round.

But as Zhang Chao had said, cities were, after all, centers of economy, politics, and talent. Taking a city, just the supplies within, could make a fortune. Therefore, Wei Hongjun was most concerned about how much supplies he could seize this time.

"Li Wanfu."

"arrive."

"Pick out a team from the independent team to serve as patrols. Arrest anyone who tries to take advantage of the chaos in the city. This includes our own officers and soldiers. Anyone who dares to take advantage of this opportunity to steal things or women will be arrested. This is our first time entering the county, and we must ensure stability in the city and demonstrate our guerrilla image."

"Yes."

Although within the guerrilla army, Wei Hongjun has been organizing political studies.

But the guerrilla army was mostly composed of new recruits, and unlike the Eighth Route Army, which was disciplined and enforced by law, some of them might become dishonest and do something even more outrageous once they entered the city.

We're all grown men, and when we see those fashionable foreign students in the city, it's not uncommon for us to lose control of our pants. But this kind of thing can't be allowed to continue. We must make an example of them. Because if this kind of thing is allowed to go on, the troops will become bandits.

Before entering the city, although Wei Hongjun repeatedly emphasized discipline, he still did not dare to be careless.

Therefore, an independent team was selected to serve as the patrol team.

Because the independent team has more students, it is more suitable for this task.

"The rest of the independent team and the guard team will follow me to support the commander."

After deploying, Wei Hongjun led his troops to the area where the gunfire had broken out. The Japanese and guerrilla forces there were all furious. It was also Aso Akashi's bad luck that he led his troops to quietly break out through the north or south gates.

Unfortunately, they had not been walking for long when they ran into the special forces team led by Wang Qiuyun.

The two sides began to fight.

A little later, the 29th Army led by Wu Qinghe also arrived and joined the battle. Then Gao Wei led a team to rush up and directly surrounded the Japanese army. Aso Akashi wanted to break through, so he used all the heavy weapons in his hands to try to tear a path through.

But Wang Qiuyun was not polite either.

Tit for tat.

They also deployed grenade launchers and heavy machine guns, pinning the Japanese troops there. By the time Wu Qinghe's troops and Gao Wei's troops joined the battlefield, the enemy and our forces had completely changed. The guerrillas had over 200 men, while Wu Qinghe's troops had nearly 100. In comparison, Aso Akashi's forces were significantly outnumbered.

At the time of the evacuation, there were only 37 men, including eight wounded, three of whom were seriously injured and unable to fight. Although the direct confrontation with Wang Qiuyun had inflicted considerable casualties on the special forces, the special forces fought back, using grenade launchers and heavy machine guns, inflicting heavy casualties on the Japanese. Within a few moments, the Japanese casualties reached nine. Just as Aso Akashi was about to redouble his efforts, Wu Qinghe joined the battle.

Wu Qinghe's troops weren't particularly well-equipped, primarily due to being chased by the Japanese and having lost their heavy weapons. Currently, they only had one light machine gun. However, as a remnant of the Northwest Army, Wu Qinghe's troops were formidable.

Braving the hail of bullets, they rushed into the battlefield and suddenly attacked the Japanese army from the other side, causing casualties to the Japanese army again.

As a result, there were only about twenty Japanese soldiers able to fight.

However, with only about twenty people left, neither the special forces nor Wu Qinghe's troops dared to attack rashly. The Japanese were too skilled in shooting, and several attempts to attack were repelled by the Japanese. While the two sides were at a stalemate, Gao Wei led a team to the battlefield.

Gao Wei led a team to attack from behind.

Aso Akashi simply had too few men. It was already difficult to deal with the special forces and Wu Qinghe's troops, and even less so with the forces behind them. As a result, Gao Wei's troops attacked from behind, causing significant casualties to the Japanese army.

In this way, the Japanese army was surrounded on three sides by the Special Forces Team, the First Team, and Wu Qinghe's troops.

Troop casualties continued to increase.

If a normal army had suffered such casualties, they would have given up the fight long ago. But the Japanese army was very stubborn. Even though there were only a dozen or so soldiers left, and half of them were wounded, they still refused to surrender.

This was the situation when Wei Hongjun arrived at the battlefield.

"Damn it, you still don't surrender even after all this."

Gao Wei was very angry.

He clearly had an absolute advantage, and he was attacking from behind. In the end, he still suffered five casualties. This was truly unacceptable. If the Japanese army hadn't had heavy machine guns, Gao Wei would have led his troops forward long ago.

But the Japanese heavy machine guns made Gao Wei dare not go up.

"Calm down. The commander has a grenade launcher and should be thinking of a solution. As long as we destroy the Japanese heavy machine guns, these Japanese soldiers will be nothing."

"Yes."

Sure enough, after a while, the grenade launcher on Wang Qiuyun's side started firing.

The grenade launcher's accuracy was not that high, but the continuous firing of two grenade launchers, coupled with the small area of ​​the Japanese defense line, made a huge impact. The heavy machine gun position was particularly destroyed by the grenade launcher.

"Well done."

"rush"

Gao Wei quickly led a team forward.

The troops were very much influenced by their chief officers. Gao Wei's character was fearless, so many people in the team were influenced by him. Although they were all new recruits, after these days of training, they all followed Gao Wei and rushed forward.

But Wu Qinghe's troops were faster.

The Northwest Army was poor, so they relied on bravery to fight.

This is the case with Wu Qinghe.

With seventeen years of military service, his reflexes were exceptionally quick. Seeing the Japanese heavy machine guns cut off, he immediately led his men forward. The soldiers in Wu Qinghe's unit were all veterans, and their reflexes were much better than those of the first squadron.

Faster than the special forces team and the first team.

By this time, the remaining Japanese troops had recovered and began to fight back. Men were constantly being shot and falling during the charge, but this couldn't stop the charge. Furthermore, the guerrillas and Wu Qinghe's troops were quick to react, and within about 30 meters of the enemy, they began using grenades.

Then take advantage of the thick smoke from the grenade and rush forward again.

"kill"

Chapter 050 Victory

1937 11 Month 21 Day.

The guerrilla army and Wu Qinghe's troops fought together and, after nearly three hours of fighting, completely annihilated the Japanese troops entrenched in Shengxian County, including more than 200 Baoan Corps troops, and occupied Shengxian County.

After the battle, both sides began to count the spoils tacitly.

Very rich.

Eighteen Type 38 rifles, two heavy machine guns, four grenade launchers, three light machine guns, eighty-seven Hanyang-made rifles, seventy-seven Jin-made Type 65 rifles, one Jin-made light machine gun, and four box cannons were seized on the battlefield.

In fact, the weapons seized were far more than these.

But the other weapons were damaged, most of them broken on the battlefield.

But these are already a lot.

But this is not the end.

After the war, four Type 38 rifles were seized from Japanese camps, and 143 Type 65 rifles made in Shanxi were seized from the former Shanxi-Suiyuan Army arsenal. In addition to these large and small guns, a large amount of ammunition was seized on the battlefield and in the arsenal.

Of course this is not the end.

After the war, the campaign to purge traitors in the county began.

In this era, becoming a traitor wasn't easy. Those who could become prominent traitors were those who were wealthy and powerful in the local area. Only such people could become traitors recruited by the Japanese.

The situation is chaotic now, and these traitors are also afraid.

So every family will buy some weapons for self-defense.

Furthermore, those traitors originally came from wealthy and powerful families, and usually had a lot of business. In particular, some of them also had numerous caravans. Under the current circumstances, those caravans needed escorts.

The guards all need munitions.

Therefore, when the traitors were liquidated, a large amount of arms was also seized.

Even in the home of one of the traitors, a Type 99 rifle was found. In the liquidation of these traitors, eleven Type 38 rifles, eighteen Type 38 rifles, sixty-three Hanyang rifles, and two box cannons were seized.

Of course this is just weapons and ammunition.
