To deal with the bandits of the Second Supplementary Regiment, it was indeed Xie Ziqing and Zhu Xiangyu, two bandits who besieged Miaotou Town early yesterday morning and were defeated by the engineer company of the Second Supplementary Regiment.
These two, one is a bandit wandering on the border of Guangxi and Hunan, who has killed many security teams and militia figures, the other is a bigwig bandit from Xiangxi, and is a subordinate of Peng called Donkey, both of whom are the leaders of the bandit industry, the battle of Miaotou Town is the first defeat they have suffered recently, the loot failed, but broke off a small half of the tooth, how can these two let it go and, the two also understand that if they can't give a hard blow to the sudden appearance of the supplementary second regiment, don't think about the cool days of looting in the future.
So, Xie Ziqing and Zhu Xiangyu only took one day to do a good job of responding to the second regiment, and the two of them gave full play to the ability of the old bandits, reorganized the team, and offered higher rewards to the brothers below, vowing to give the second regiment a good look.
Xie Zhu and the others are not in vain, although the siege of Miaotou Town suffered a lot of casualties, but it is not enough to hurt the vitality, the two of them still have considerable strength in their hands, adding up to more than 3,400 guns, especially Zhu Xiangyu's people, Cong belongs to Peng's donkey bandits, this time before entering Guangxi, they were active in Hunan all year round, what is the place in Hunan that is the main battlefield of the Japanese army's repeated invasions, the nuclear territory of the Ninth Theater, and the place where a large number of the main forces of the national army gathered.
Zhu Xiangyu's group of men and horses can be said to have "seen the world," fought the troops of the national army in Hunan, robbed the military stations of the national army, searched the foreign land left by the national army and the Japanese army on the battlefield, and used the weapons they collected to equip themselves, there were guns and cannons, neatly equipped, and there were many rifle machine guns, which were very generous, and many guys Xie Ziqing had never even seen them, and he had also seen the big scene of the battle between the Japanese army and the national army, and even Xie Ziqing, an old bandit in Guangxi, was respectful to Zhu Xiangyu.
Zhu Xiangyu has strong soldiers and horses, not to mention seeing big scenes, this person is also very tactical thinking, some cultural skills, Xie Ziqing, who was born in a big old man, naturally became more and more respectful to him, not only as an ally, but also as half a military advisor.
The two unanimously decided to concentrate on defeating the hard bones of the second regiment, which is not over, in order to increase the strength at hand, Xie Ziqing, a native of Guangxi, also opened a high price code, recruited some other small bandits, pole bandits, scattered bandits to join, move with affection, lure them to benefit, and further expand the strength of the attack force against the second regiment, those bandits who were recruited, one is to see that there are benefits to take, and second, they also know some of the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost, Qiu Ba suppressed the bandits, and it is not good for their small bandits, Therefore, Xie Ziqing quickly got a large number of vassals, and the total number of bandits who came from the vassals was nearly 3,000.
In other words, the combined strength of Xie Ziqing and Zhu Xiangyu exceeded 6,000 people in total, more than twice the intelligence information obtained by Zhang Wei, and even after excluding the more than 2,500 bandits in the second and third battalions of the second regiment and the third battalion, Zhang Wei still faced more than 3,500 bandits in Huangcun.
"Open the gun" Outside Huangcun, eight 82 mortars were placed on the empty flat ground, and eight artillery pieces opened fire with a roar, and more than 30 bandits waited for these eight 82 mortars of the national army that were picked up from the battlefield in Hunan.
Behind these eight 20-year-old 82 mortars, there were boxes of 82 mortar shells looted from the Hunan battlefield.
Xie Ziqing's respect for Zhu Xiangyu was not given in vain, these mortars and whole boxes of mortar shells are Zhu Xiangyu's capital.
"Put it again, and kill this group of Qiu Ba for Lao Tzu."
The bandit who commanded the launch smirked, brandished the Japanese saber he had picked up, wore a 35 steel helmet of the national army, stepped on the Japanese army's studded suede shoes on his feet, and pointed the saber in his hand to Huangcun in the distance.
These bandits, who had seen the Japanese army and the Nationalist army fighting against each other on the battlefield in Hunan, also brought a bit of the style of a regular army with them in the battle, and learned to prepare for firepower.
"Stuff the cannonball and hit the fuck" "Fried" In the chaotic screams of the bandit gunners, round after round of shells smashed into Huangcun.
In Huangcun, the garrison of the second regiment of the supplementary regiment in the village has completed the construction of the fortifications and defense system, and the first battalion, the communication company, the artillery company, and all the units have entered the fortifications and battle positions, and they have been on standby for a long time, and the setting of artillery firing Zhuyuan has also been completed.
Under Zhang Wei's deployment policy, Qiu Wei divided the two infantry companies of the first battalion into the north of the village, the west of the village, the north of the village was defended by the first battalion and the second company, and the west of the village was led by the first battalion and one company.
The heavy machine gun company of the first battalion was also assigned to the positions of each company by Qiu Wei; of course, the two places in the south and east of the village were on higher ground and the fortifications were in better conditions, so it was relatively easy to defend.
Qiu Wei's battalion was basically scattered and guarded everywhere, but Dong Erli's artillery company, Zhang Wei adopted the principle of centralized use, the artillery company's six 82 mortars, in the center of the village to build a firing position, with the help of the communication company to the front of the position, at any time to reinforce everywhere, is the main suppression of artillery fire in the village, eight Liaozao 14 type 37 flat guns, Zhang Wei gave Dong Erli an order, used as mobile artillery, swimming to reinforce everywhere, to ensure the concentration of firepower.
When the bandits were about to attack, Zhang Wei's troops and firepower defense network were already ready.
Rounds of shells came over, and the bandits fought fiercely, however, they did not cause much substantial damage to the defenders in Huangcun.
"Boom" Two 82 mortar shells fell diagonally at the entrance of the north village of Huangcun, and even the deer barbs and blockers set up by the officers and soldiers in the village did not blow up, and they fell far on the ground, and the explosion was very ferocious, but not a single person was injured, and even the blockades were not destroyed, and several rounds of artillery shelling by the bandits really hit the defenders, and those who fell in the village did not even have a third, and there were only a handful of casualties that could cause casualties to the defenders.
Dozens of minutes ago, the soldiers of the second company relied on the earthen wall, added sandbags, individual pits, dug communication ditches and trenches behind the earthen wall, and established a defense system in the north of the village with the earthen wall as the core.
Qiu Wei's first battalion, as the main combat force in Huang Village, took on the main defensive task, and the second company guarding the north of the village, in addition to the brothers of the company, was also strengthened by a platoon of the heavy machine gun company of the first battalion, three civilian 24 heavy machine guns, and the brothers of the second company, one was deployed in the north of the village, and the soldiers of the second company were hidden in the hidden trench behind the earthen wall motionlessly, most of them were new soldiers, so the brothers in the trench were very careful, and only the veterans who had fought were more calm.
Until now, only one company of the first battalion has actually fought, and the other companies have no combat experience.
"Damn it, this bird is a cannonball, a spoiled cannonball."
The sergeant squad elder of the second company and the third squad smoked a cigarette, sat leisurely in the trench, and watched the recruits with a few veterans.
"Why are you recruits so nervous, look at Lao Tzu, smoking the cigarette from the regiment commander, there is no, a group of bandits, take a mortar and think that they can eat the regular army, when Lao Tzu and the regiment commander and the devil do it, these bandits don't know which hill to live on."
Lao Xu swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, enjoying the relaxation brought to him by the three forts.
The two cigarettes were almost finished, and gradually, the shelling gradually thinned out.
A shrill whistle sounded, and the observation post behind the earthen wall shouted: "The enemy is coming" Lao Xu threw away his cigarette butt, grabbed his rifle, climbed out of the trench, and rushed to the earthen wall.
"The whole class has it, give Lao Tzu a position" Around Huangcun, dense bandits came together. ：。
