Chapter 419: Hardcore traitors, kill without mercy

419 Hardcore traitors will be killed without mercy

In the early morning of the 19th, after resting for half the night, the Fourth Regiment quietly moved towards Lianjiang County.

At this time, there was only a small group of Japanese soldiers in the county town, guarding the Japanese engineering regiment headquarters.

Those defending the city walls were all puppet soldiers.

The remaining two Japanese squads and hundreds of other puppet troops were all defending at various mountain intersections in the north.

We went into the mountains during the day and tried to find the four groups that had infiltrated the area.

At night, they retreated from the mountain and set up checkpoints at the intersections.

"Captain, the roads are all blocked by the devils.

There is no way around it, so I can only kill it. "

The reconnaissance team came back and reported.

"Then fight!

After the battle started, each battalion attacked the county town with all their might, and defeated the enemy's guards at various intersections as quickly as possible. "

The fourth commander gave the order decisively.

Boom boom boom!

As the 60mm mortar was fired, the distinctive dull sound was heard.

One mortar after another fell on the Japanese checkpoints.

The only heavy firepower that the 60th Regiment could carry after climbing mountains and wading through water was mm mortars and rocket launchers.

"Come on!"

With the cover of mortars, each battalion of the four regiments was organized into companies.

An attack was launched towards Lianjiang County from several directions.

The first thing to do is to defeat the Japanese checkpoints set up at the intersections.

The Japanese troops were few in number and were scattered in guarding positions, and they also had no heavy firepower.

Faced with the sudden attack, the Fourth Regiment had an absolute advantage in manpower.

The Japanese troops at various checkpoints outside the city did not hold out for long and began to collapse.

"Don't let these little devils escape into the county."

The soldiers of the Fourth Regiment chased after them and fired wildly.

Suddenly, fierce gunfire was heard outside the city, and was immediately heard by the captain of the Japanese engineering regiment in the county town.

"Baga, what's going on?

Why are there gunshots outside the city? "

The Japanese engineering regiment commander realized that something was wrong.

The first thing he thought of was the Kuomintang army unit that had disappeared before.

Intuition told the Japanese engineering regiment commander that they were coming.

"Report to the wing commander, this is bad.

In the mountainous area north of the city, a large number of Chinese troops suddenly appeared.

They are raiding our various crossroads and checkpoints, and our troops outside the city can't stop them.

Now, it has been defeated.

These Chinese troops are heading towards the county town.

Your Excellency, Captain, please move as soon as possible."

A moment later, a Japanese second lieutenant officer hurried in and reported this urgent military situation.

"idiot.

The Chinese army that disappeared at Wild Boar Ridge actually bypassed our several blocking lines at the north gate.

They must have found a small path unknown to outsiders to get through."

The captain of the Japanese engineering regiment was also very smart and guessed the result immediately.

"wrong.

Since they were taking a mountain road, they could not carry much heavy firepower and ammunition.

As long as we hold on until dawn.

This Chinese army is no longer a threat."

The Japanese engineering regiment commander had no intention of retreating.

"Yoshi, that's it."

“But, Captain.

With our current strength, we may not even be able to hold out until dawn."

The Japanese officer said in distress.

The number of defenders in their command center was too small.

There was even no way to spare any soldiers to defend the city walls.

They can only rely on puppet troops to hold the scene.

The main force of the engineering regiment was sent by the Japanese regiment commander to the north to block the defense line.

The Japanese regiment commander had never imagined that there would be four regiments of the National Army.

They could cross the vast mountain range in the north and reach Lianjiang County within one day and one night.

You know, there are narrow paths in the mountainous area north of Lianjiang.

That is not for marching troops, at most it is for some hunters to walk around.

And this is indeed the case.

During this one-day and one-night march on the mountain road, the Fourth Regiment still had a very difficult time even though they were traveling lightly.

It even took them more than five hours to pass a cliff on the way.

Six soldiers fell off the mountain and died before they were able to get through there with weapons and ammunition.

This is also why, even though the distance is only about 20 kilometers, it takes them so long.

It will be so exciting after passing.

The truth is, the ruggedness of this mountain road is too torturous.

Fortunately, it is time to reap the rewards of all previous efforts.

The Japanese captain also knew the problems they were facing.

It would be impossible for him to defend the county town tonight with only less than a hundred Japanese soldiers under his command.

So, the Japanese regiment commander looked at the pseudo-corps commander beside him, walked over and said solemnly: "Captain Zhao.

Whether we can defend the county town tonight depends on your security team.

As long as you can bring your security team and guard the county tonight.

After daybreak, my Third Battalion will be able to return with support from Mawei Mountain.

By then, you will be a hero of the empire.

Afterwards, I will recommend you to the brigade commander, expand your security regiment into a security brigade, and make you the brigade commander.

In the future, you will have money, status, and beautiful women. "

"Yes! Don't worry, Colonel.

I will lead my brothers to defend the city gate until dawn."

Faced with the pie in the sky painted by the Japanese regiment commander, the puppet army commander also responded excitedly.

"吆西!"

The Japanese regiment commander was very satisfied with the attitude of this pseudo-corps commander.

Moreover, the Japanese regiment commander also knew it.

The other family was a wealthy family in Lianjiang, and their entire family had defected to the Japanese.

They also absolutely did not want to see Ye Qingshan break into the city.

Otherwise, given the evil things their family has done.

They will definitely be severely punished.

"Your Excellency, I just received a report from my men.

The enemy is attacking the west of the city fiercely, and I want to go and supervise the battle in person.

Please approve it, Colonel."

"Okay, go ahead."

The Japanese regiment commander thought about it and decided to let the security regiment commander go to the front line.

"Captain, aren't you afraid that he will run away with his troops?"

As soon as the puppet army commander left, the Japanese officers became worried.

“He can’t run away.

His family is already bound to us.

Unless he wants his entire family to be shot by Ye Qingshan, he can only help us."

The Japanese regiment commander said confidently.

"Hey, your Excellency the Captain is wise."

Zhao Tongming, along with a few puppet soldiers, also had a gloomy face when he came out of the Japanese command headquarters.

"Brother, the devils are sending us to our deaths."

A younger brother nearby immediately shouted in a low voice.

In the past, they always followed the Japanese and cooperated with them in combat.

However, I never fought against the national army myself.

Moreover, the troops that attacked this time were Ye Qingshan's troops.

"Fuck, what nonsense.

Let’s go to the west of the city first to check out the situation. I don’t believe that hundreds of us can’t hold out for one night.”

Zhao Tongming slapped his younger brother and led his men to the west of the city.

The Japanese captain was right. Zhao Tongming didn't want to see Ye Qingshan's troops enter the county town even more than the Japanese.

Otherwise, their family would be finished.

“Damn it, damn Ye Qingshan.

Why do you have to attack Fuzhou?"

Zhao Tongming cursed Ye Qingshan in his heart.

If Ye Qingshan had not come to attack Fuzhou, their family would have been able to continue to act tyrannically with the support of the Japanese.

When Zhao Tongming and his men arrived at the west of the city.

The two companies of the Fourth Regiment that arrived first have already launched an attack on the west gate.

But both attacks were repelled by the two hundred puppet troops defending the city.

It is difficult to attack a city without artillery cover.

Moreover, the security team under Zhao Tongming's command was well trained by him.

The combat effectiveness is not weak.

In the security corps, half of the puppet troops were Zhao Tongming's former subordinates.

Before the Japanese came, Zhao Tongming formed a militia at his own expense. After surrendering to the Japanese, he recruited a group of fierce bandits.

The current security corps was formed, whose combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of ordinary national army troops and is highly valued by the Japanese.

"how is the situation?"

"Captain, the Kuomintang troops outside the city attacked twice, but we repelled them both."

"Colonel Miyano ordered us to defend the city gate.

You must hold on until dawn."

"Don't worry, Captain, it's okay.

Everyone says that Ye Qingshan's army is very powerful, but I don't think it's that good. "

A bearded man said arrogantly.

This man used to be the leader of a bandit group in the mountains, but was later bribed by Zhao Tongming and joined the security group.

“Okay, tell the brothers to beat me up.

As long as they stay up until dawn, I will pay five dollars out of my own pocket to each of you."

Zhao Tongming had invested a huge amount of money and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

But at this point, we have to invest some money.

"Haha, the leader is so generous!"

The entire security corps is made up of die-hard traitors who have no intention of surrendering.

Half an hour later, the main force of the Fourth Regiment arrived.

"Captain Liao, what's the situation?"

"Captain, we launched two exploratory attacks, and both were beaten back."

"Huh? Didn't they say there weren't many devils left in the city?"

“Yes, Captain.

The ones defending the city wall right now are not the Japs, they are all puppet troops.

Not only did this group of puppet soldiers fight for the devils to the death, I also sent people to ask them to surrender.

They just ignored it.

Moreover, these puppet troops have little combat effectiveness, their fighting style is very sophisticated, and they have received rigorous training.”

"There is still such a thing."

After hearing this, the fourth commander's face became extremely gloomy.

Unexpectedly, in the end they were blocked outside the city by the Japanese.

It was a shame that they were attacked by a group of puppet soldiers.

"Pass the order down, and start the siege in ten minutes.

Let the commandos send the demolitionist to the city gate.

Blow up the city gate for me.

After entering the city, no surrender is allowed from the puppet troops in the city and they must be killed completely.

Since they are determined to work for the devils, let them go to hell with the devils."

The fourth captain said with a grim expression.

They had never encountered puppet soldiers who were so determined to work for the Japanese.

This is the first time.

These die-hard traitors should all be treated as Japanese devils.

Boom boom boom!

Soon, the Fourth Regiment organized another attack, and intensive firepower was directed at the puppet troops on the west city wall.

This time, it was not the vanguard that attacked.

But it is the main force of the Fourth Regiment.

Suddenly, the two hundred puppet soldiers defending the city wall felt something different.

"Damn it, what's going on.

How come the firepower of the attacking national army suddenly became so fierce? "

Zhao Tongming and others were suppressed behind the city wall by the heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, mortars and other heavy weapons fire from the Fourth Regiment outside the city and dared not show their heads.

“Damn it, I was deceived by Miyano.

The ones attacking tonight are definitely not just a regiment of the National Army.

I have never seen a regiment of the National Army with such fierce firepower."

Zhao Tongming was very angry and yelled.
