Chapter 142: A surprise attack on Weihe County (3)
He opened a carriage and found that it was full of ammunition, including bullets, grenades, and artillery shells!
In another carriage, rows of rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, and most importantly, two 37mm cannons were found!
It seems that the Japanese army has also prepared a large amount of supplies to deal with the anti-Japanese forces in Weihe County. This is lucky!
Yin Xinjun took away half of the weapons and ammunition and put them into his own space! After all, due to Kang Huaifu's continuous expansion of the army, a lot of weapons have been taken out of the space, and they just need to be replenished to ensure sufficient ammunition supply!
Then he saw that the other carriages were filled with rice, flour and other food. Yin Xinjun took away half of the food and took out 600 boxes of canned beef from the space! There were also 10 explosive packs!
In his space, 100 boxes of canned food can be produced every day, and now they are piled up like a hill! It is a good opportunity to free up supplies!
At this time, Guan Qiang, the third company commander of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, ran over to report a good news that a batch of food and ammunition was found in the station warehouse!
Yin Xinjun was overjoyed. It seemed that the harvest this time was quite great. With food, equipment and ammunition, Kang Huaifu's team could further expand!
He immediately ordered Guan Qiang to start from both sides of the station, and bury explosives in a section of track every 100 meters, until all the explosives were used up, so as to destroy the railway line as long as possible!
Let the track workers help dismantle the rails that were not broken!
The sky was already bright, and with bursts of rumbling explosions, the Binsui Railway was once again blown off by about 600 meters!
During this trip to the county, the troops' spoils were extremely rich. Not only did they seize a large amount of food and ammunition, but one team also robbed a foreign company and obtained more than 50,000 yuan in cash and a batch of gold bars, jewelry and more!
At this moment, the third company commander Guan Qiang was buying mules and horses everywhere in the county with a stack of banknotes given by Yin Xinjun. The deputy captain of the guerrilla brigade Cao Chun was also carrying food everywhere to recruit new soldiers!
At the station platform, after a busy night, the tired soldiers sat on the ground and opened cans to eat for breakfast. There was too much spoils of war, and they couldn't take them away without mules or horses, so they simply ate them!
Every soldier ate at least three cans of food and filled their stomachs!
In Lianghe Town, Kang Huaifu and Ma Shun ambushed their troops in a forest more than one kilometer south of the town!
Although it was an ambush, Kang Huaifu would not fight head-on. The task he gave Ma Shun was to protect himself and attack the enemy!
Protecting yourself comes first!
In the early morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten,
Groups of Japanese and puppet troops passed by the east of the company and rushed towards the town!
When the Japanese and puppet troops were almost gone,
Ma Shun gave an order.
A company of machine guns and grenade launchers suddenly opened fire from behind the enemy, making the Japanese and puppet troops dizzy.
Three minutes later, the enemy still hadn't figured out what was going on.
There are already fifty or sixty people lying on the ground!
By the time the enemy reacted and rushed towards the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces' positions, Ma Shun had already led his troops to evacuate!
Qingyang Town,
In order to protect the people, San'er did not plan to start a battle in the town. He placed the guard company's position on Xiangmo Mountain in the north of the town.
The foot of the mountain is the road leading into Qingyang Town.
At this moment, San'er, who was lying on the battlefield, saw a long line of puppet cavalry at the foot of the mountain.
Decisively gave the order to open fire!
As the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers fired fiercely, the puppet cavalry fell off their horses one after another.
Tu Quansheng, commander of the 6th Independent Cavalry Brigade, was surprised to find that the firepower of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces on the mountain seemed to be getting more and more fierce. They not only had machine guns, but also mortars, and the ammunition was also unusually sufficient!
He immediately ordered a quick retreat!
This was definitely an encounter with the strongest main force of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.
Tu Quansheng retreated more than two miles until he met the Ueda Brigade behind!
After hearing Tu Quansheng's report, Major Ueda was pleasantly surprised. He said viciously,
"All cavalrymen dismount and attack with us!"
The Japanese and puppet troops were mixed together, and under the cover of artillery fire, they immediately attacked the guard company's position fiercely.
San'er did not retreat because he couldn't bear to do so. He encountered puppet troops whose combat effectiveness was one level lower than his. He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy!
But soon, he felt a little regretful, because the puppet troops came back, and there were Japanese soldiers mixed in!
The shells also fell one after another.
Casualties soon occurred on the battlefield.
The Japanese and puppet troops also rushed up the mountain following the artillery fire.
We have no choice but to fight!
The anti-Japanese fighters who were looking down from above,
Without panicking at all, they used grenades and machine gun fire to repel the Japanese army's two attacks in succession!
San'er counted the number of people and found that the casualties had exceeded thirty, so he gave the order to retreat!
Lianghe Town,
The Japanese and puppet soldiers who rushed into the town drove the common people out of their homes in droves and took them all to the streets!
A puppet army officer was howling loudly there.
"Where did the Anti-Japanese United Army go? Anyone knows? Tell me and you will be rewarded handsomely!"
After shouting several times, no one from the people said a word. They all just kept their heads down and said nothing!
At this time, a Japanese lieutenant lost his patience. He randomly pulled a man out of the crowd and asked,
"Where did the Anti-Japanese League go?"
The man shook his head,
The Japanese lieutenant drew out his sword, a cold light flashed, blood spurted out of the man's chest, and he fell to the ground!
Then the lieutenant waved his hand, and several Japanese soldiers rushed forward and dragged out a few more civilians!
The Japanese suffered heavy losses and could only vent their anger on the common people!
Weihe County,
At about 9 o'clock in the morning,
A freight train coming from Harbin was the first to notice something was wrong. Although it had applied emergency brakes, four carriages including the front of the train still ran off the track!
Several Japanese soldiers who crushed the car also suffered one death and three injuries!
One of the Japanese soldiers who was slightly scratched came out from the rear of the car. Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly ran in the direction he came from!
The anti-Japanese fighters in the county have begun to evacuate. Yin Xinjun arranged for the guerrilla brigade to advance northward along Laodaogou towards Qingyun Mountain with a large amount of seized supplies!
Yin Xinjun led the special forces and two companies of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to infiltrate the northeast. He wanted to find a suitable ambush position on the side of the Yaqing Highway!
The purpose of raiding Weihe County, cutting off the railway line again, and seizing a large amount of supplies has been achieved! It's time to teach the enemy a hard lesson!
At about 3:00 p.m., Yin Xinjun arrived at a place called Shijiuli.
The Yaqing Highway here passes through the forest area, which is a good place for hidden ambush.
Yin Xinjun heard the Japanese voice from a distance! He immediately made a gesture and asked the troops to hide!
At the intersection, there was a Japanese checkpoint, and three Japanese soldiers were standing guard with live ammunition!
However, this place is sparsely populated and there are not many pedestrians coming and going.
Yin Xinjun arranged the troops to hide in the forest area. After the seizure, the equipment of the two companies of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces fighters was further enhanced. Each company had four grenade launchers, six Type 99 light machine guns, and one Type 92 heavy machine gun!
In addition, the artillery squad brought a Type 92 infantry gun and a Type 37 flat-fire gun!
Yin Xinjun is confident that he can give the Japanese a hard time!
In the early summer in the Northeast, weeds grew increasingly lush. The soldiers lay quietly in the grass with their guns pointed at the road!
Yin Xinjun waited patiently. He knew that the news of the attack on the county town would definitely reach Ando Rikichi, and then he would have to send his troops back!
More than an hour later, when it was already dark, there was finally some noise on the road, the sound of horse hooves and noisy chatting!
The bridge that was blown up over the Ant River has not been repaired yet, and the floating bridge built by the Japanese engineering corps can only accommodate horse-drawn carriages at best!
Ando Rikichi, who had gained nothing, personally led his troops back to rescue after receiving a telegram about the attack on the county town and the interruption of the railway! He never dreamed that his plan of attack had been leaked before it even started!
On horseback, Ando Rikichi was thinking with an angry look on his face. He also realized that the combat meeting might have leaked the news. After thinking about it, he set his target on several Manchurian brigade commanders who attended the meeting!
