Chapter 402 That's not what you just said
It’s not that Chen Zhanying looked down on Wei Heshang’s dozens of men, but without siege weapons, there is really no way to take down those artillery towers.
"Captain Chen, don't worry, we never brag!"
After Wei Dayong finished speaking, he asked the soldiers to take out six rockets from the cart and load them quickly.
Chen Zhanying and Staff Officer Du looked at the small rocket, which was not even as long as a carrying pole. How could it reach the artillery tower?
At Wei Dayong's command, one gun was fired and another was prepared.
After taking aim, the shooter gently pulled the trigger, and the rocket rushed towards the turret like an arrow, and with a bang, it accurately shot into the shooting hole as big as a window!
"boom"!
The artillery tower fell silent instantly, and the puppet army leader Kong Fan, who was standing on the wall, was also frightened by the sudden explosion!
Taking advantage of the silence of the artillery tower, Chen Zhanying and Staff Officer Du recovered from their shock and immediately led their troops to rush over and seize the artillery tower.
Then he began shouting towards the manor and the other three turrets.
"Listen, puppet soldiers inside, quickly lay down your weapons and surrender, otherwise you will end up like the guy in this turret, shattered to pieces!"
Kong Fan, who was hiding in the turret directly opposite, was trembling with fear. He could see how powerful this mysterious weapon was. If this thing hit him, he probably wouldn't even make a sound.
"Damn it! Maybe they only have one shot? Let's take a gamble!"
Kong Fan ordered the other three artillery towers to continue firing through flag signals, but he soon regretted it.
Seeing that the puppet army refused to surrender, Monk Wei ordered the soldiers to hide under a gun tower again, and pulled the trigger without hesitation again, and one of the gun towers was destroyed.
The loud noise completely broke down Kong Fan's psychological defenses.
"Damn it, this thing must be from the regular Eighth Route Army! Maybe it's a cannon!"
In less than five minutes, a white flag emerged from the firing port of the artillery tower!
Then, Kong Fan led the remaining dozens of puppet soldiers to stand up obediently, threw their weapons aside, and surrendered obediently.
Chen Zhanying and Staff Officer Du originally thought it would be a tough battle, but they did not expect that the independent column could resolve it in just a few moves.
Chen Zhanying led the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and they packed up and took away all the Type 38 rifles, Type 99 light machine guns, bullets and grenades.
Kong Fan stood in the center of the manor with his head down, secretly glanced at the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were not dressed very formally, and asked tentatively.
"Master Ba, may I ask how many troops you have? Did you bring the cannons here?"
Chen Zhanying and Staff Officer Du laughed at that time. It turned out that Er Gouzi didn't even know how many of them there were after the fight?
"Look at this, there are only this many people! And there are no cannons!"
When Chen Zhanying heard this, he turned his head and looked around, and saw that there were only about one or two hundred people.
“You guys…are amazing!”
The curse that was about to come out of his mouth was scared back by Monk Wei's pistol.
If Kong Fan knew that the Eighth Route Army only had a few people, he would definitely fight to the death and hold on. After all, there was a squadron of Japanese invaders and two squadrons of puppet troops in the city.
Kong Fan's guess was correct. At this time, more than 300 Japanese devils and puppet troops in Shan County were marching towards Qinshan in a mighty manner.
In less than half an hour, dense gunfire was heard coming from the northwest.
When Kong Fan heard the gunshots, he became alert, as if he was not a prisoner yet.
When Chen Zhanying and Staff Officer Du heard the gunshots, their expressions became serious. They didn't expect the Japanese to come so quickly.
Although they had two companies plus guerrillas in total, their forces were too dispersed because one company was used to attack the manor, one platoon was used as a reserve, and the other two platoons and guerrillas were used to block the attack.
"Notify the Seventh Company and the guerrillas who are blocking the attack to retreat immediately! Clean up the battlefield quickly!"
In less than ten minutes, a communications soldier from the seventh company came running over on horseback.
"Report to the battalion commander, the Seventh Company and the guerrillas are being entangled by the Japanese. We can't leave the battlefield now!"
"Fuck! Those damn Japanese!"
Chen Zhanying thought for a long time and now he could only divide his troops again.
"Staff Officer Du, take a platoon of soldiers to escort the wounded, the seized supplies, and the puppet troops back! If anyone makes trouble, they will all be shot!"
After Chen Zhanying finished speaking, he glared at Kong Fan fiercely.
"Captain Wei, just follow Staff Officer Du and the others to retreat. They will escort you across the river when the time comes! Everyone else, follow me!"
Monk Wei shook his head. Even if they rushed forward with the remaining company, they could not resist the attack of more than 300 Japanese soldiers and puppet troops. Their weapons and equipment, as well as the quality of their soldiers, were not on the same level.
"Captain Chen, we are all one family. We can't just stand by and do nothing. Even if you guys rush over, you'll just consume a few more bullets for the Japanese."
Although what Monk Wei said was unpleasant, he hit the point.
"What should we do? We can't abandon our comrades!"
"Take us with you. As long as we join in, we will definitely beat the Japanese black and blue!"
Chen Zhanying thought for a long time and finally agreed to Monk Wei's request.
"But I have one condition. You must follow us. After all, you are guests and we must ensure your safety!"
Monk Wei nodded. As long as he could go to the battlefield, he would agree to a hundred conditions.
Besides, once he is on the battlefield, with the gun in his hands and his feet under his legs, isn't it him who has the final say on where to go?
"Comrades, today is the first time we are fighting side by side with our comrades from Shan County. I hope you can show the vigor and vitality of our independent column! Show our spirit and vigor!"
The food was very light along the way. They didn't know whether the Japanese were deliberately avoiding them or they were lucky, but they didn't encounter any real Japanese troops. They were already hungry and thirsty.
As soon as the soldiers of the 201st Airborne Regiment heard that there was going to be a war, they were all in high spirits. They immediately put on tactical vests over the civilians' clothes and stuffed them with grenades and magazines.
"Captain, just watch us, we are going to teach those little devils a lesson!"
At Chen Zhanying's command, the soldiers of the Sixth Company, together with a platoon drawn from the Seventh Company, marched quickly towards the northern dike of Nandianzi, five miles away.
In less than ten minutes, we saw that the north city dike position had already turned into a disgusting shit-yellow color.
The guerrillas who were engaging in close combat with the Japanese were dressed in all kinds of clothes and had a messy array of weapons!
"Oh no! The Qinshan guerrillas are about to be breached! Charge!"
Monk Wei looked at the guerrilla fighters from afar. Some of them were holding old-style Hanyang rifles, while most of them were holding bird rifles, earthen muskets, and even spears!
"The damn Japanese are bullying us! Kill them!"
Wei Heshang's 201st Airborne Regiment seemed to have turned on nitrogen acceleration and easily surpassed Chen Zhanying's team in front.
"Captain Wei, that's not what you just said! Get to the back!"
