Dazhou, Jiang County.
Sanheba.
A river about 50 meters wide crossed the river. If one wanted to go from Dazhou to Kai County, they had to cross this river.
A small pontoon bridge was swaying on the river. The pontoon bridge was about two meters wide and was right in front of the 3rd Battalion of the Independent Regiment.
The 1st Battalion's position was made of cement bags filled with sand. In order to cover the trenches, the cement bags were also filled with sand. Everything was done naturally.
Zhao Youguang laid prone on the trench and saw the four columns of enemy troops running in disorder. Although these people were wearing the old uniforms of the Northern Army, it was obvious that they had not changed for many years. The soldiers 'faces were yellow and they looked listless.
"Pay attention later. First, let the enemy's troops board the pontoon bridge. When someone steps onto the river bank, fire all the rifles in the 1st Company. Don't give the enemy a chance to fight back, understand?”
Zhao Youguang whispered to the 1st Company Commander beside him.
"Understood, sit!"
The commander of the 1st Company understood and instructed the platoon leaders. The platoon leaders also instructed the soldiers. The soldiers holding machine guns and mortars did not understand.
…
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Quickly pass the pontoon bridge and reach the other side. Occupy Jiangxian County. The first brother to climb up the city wall of Jiangxian County will be rewarded with 100 cash!”
Qiu Dezhi, the temporary commander of the 89th Division's 1st Brigade's 1st Regiment, held a Japanese pistol with a smug look on his face.
When these soldiers heard 100 dollars, they immediately perked up. They were used to being poor and only wanted to eat and live a good life.
Naturally, they were excited when they heard about the money. Immediately, one company of the regiment took the lead and rushed onto the pontoon bridge. Two companies filled the pontoon bridge.
It was only when a soldier stepped onto Zhao Youguang's riverbank from the pontoon bridge that Zhao Youguang picked up his pistol and opened fire.
"Bang bang bang!"
When the company commander saw this, he ordered the soldiers to open fire.
Immediately, over a hundred modified GeW Mauser rifles fired in unison. They had already aimed at the enemies on the pontoon bridge. Coupled with the large amount of bullets they had fed for two months, even if their hands were a little shaky now, they could still kill half of the enemies on the pontoon bridge with a single round of firing.
The group of soldiers on the pontoon bridge was stunned. Just as they were about to take out their rifles to counterattack, they quickly loaded a bullet and fired. (Note on the Northern Army: After Yuan Datou's death, the local warlords recruited by the central government could not be compared to the real Northern Army.)
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
After this round of shooting, not a single Northern Army soldier was left standing on the pontoon bridge. They either died on the pontoon bridge or fell into the river.
When Zhao Youguang saw this, he ordered all the soldiers to squat in the trenches and not poke their heads out.
…
"F * ck!"
"What the f * ck is this sneak attack? What the f * ck are the scouts doing? They can't even detect such a large group of enemies. Call the recon company commander over!”
Qiu Dezhi had an unhappy expression. Was this reconnaissance company for nothing?
"Guild Leader, you called for me?"
The reconnaissance company commander ran over and said.
"I asked you to scout the enemy. Did you send anyone?”
Qiu Dezhi took the pistol and pulled the safety, scaring the reconnaissance company commander. He immediately panicked and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Regiment Commander, I sent Little Wang to scout with a squad of people. We just found out that they went to the next mountain to shit!”
The scout company commander looked panicked and aggrieved.
"F * ck, f * ck, you f * cking pooped at the right time. Both of us lost money!”
"What use do I have for you!"
Wang Youcai's subordinates were usually lax in their management. Many of the soldiers were gangsters and bandits. They usually did not have much restraint and liked to slack off.
They obviously did not notice the importance of this investigation.
However, this angered Qiu Dezhi. Immediately, Qiu Dezhi shot the captain dead.
After shooting the scout company commander, Qiu Dezhi picked up his binoculars and looked at the beach position on the opposite side.
There was no one in the camp, which made him feel a little puzzled.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, no one showed up.
"Everyone, open fire! Shoot!"
Qiu Dezhi ordered the entire regiment to open fire and fire at the enemy's position on the other side. The river was 50 meters away, and the enemy's position was 50 meters away. It was still within the shooting range of the Hanyang machine gun. The four Maxim heavy machine guns also fired a round.
However, the other side still did not show itself.
"F * ck, you scared me to death. I thought Cai Hu's entire team was on the other side. It seems like it's just a group of random soldiers. I think the other side might be Li Hong or Zhou He!”
"These two brats, I have suffered a lot from them in the past!”
"Brothers, it's time to show off the might of the 89th Division. Charge over and kill them. Kill Li Hong. I'll treat you to a month at Cui Hua Restaurant!”
…
Qiu Dezhi said to the five Battalion Commanders.
The regiment had 2000 people, five battalions, each with 400 people, three companies, and a battalion headquarters.
In that round of gunfire, two companies of the 1st Battalion were killed, leaving only the battalion and one company.
Qiu Dezhi had heard gunshots from the other side. Although he did not know how many gunmen there were, he had heard it very clearly. There were no Machine Gunners on the other side.
"See if I don't kill you this time!”
Qiu Dezhi's face was filled with malice. He left four Maxim heavy machine guns to guard the north bank and suppress the enemies on the south bank. The remaining troops of the 1st Battalion were stationed on the south bank to protect the four heavy machine guns.
The other four battalions quickly swam across the river. The sound of water splashing could be heard. In this late autumn season, the soldiers felt as if their bodies were about to freeze.
…
Zhao Youguang heard the sound of water and knew that the enemy had entered the water. He immediately shouted for everyone to shoot.
This time, 25 heavy machine guns, 35 light machine guns, and all the improved GeW98 Mauser rifles were fired at the same time. In an instant, the four battalions that were swimming in the river were heavily injured.
"F * ck, raise your rifle and counterattack!"
The four battalion commanders of the Northern Army were still moving their feet in the water. They did not even have a stable center of gravity. When they saw the people on the opposite side shooting at them, they shouted anxiously.
The soldiers of the four battalions couldn't even raise their heads, and those who went up to the riverbank were killed by the dense and powerful firepower.
Only the four Maxim heavy machine guns and the remnants of the 1st Battalion on the south bank retaliated.
Zhao Youguang's soldiers were instantly grazed by the enemy's bullets. Seeing the bleeding soldiers, Zhao Youguang's face immediately darkened.
"Four Maxims, my dear!”
"Kill this wave of shooters!"
Just now, everyone was only focused on killing the enemies in the river and on the shore. They did not take care of Maxim.
Now that Zhao Youguang said this, everyone immediately focused on the enemy's 1st Battalion and Maxim Heavy Machine Gun on the other side.
25 heavy machine guns and 35 light machine guns, against 4 heavy machine guns, without any suspense, the enemy machine gunners were all shot into a sieve. The remaining 1st Battalion was also cut down like wheat.
"F * ck!"
When Qiu Dezhi saw this, he was so scared that he wanted to run away.
When Zhao Youguang saw this, he narrowed his eyes and said to Buttface, the guard squad leader beside him," Kid, it's up to you!”
Buttface smiled and raised his sniper rifle. The regimental commander was only 100 meters away from him, which was within the effective range of the sniper rifle. Buttface immediately shot through the scope and headshot Qiu Dezhi without even zooming in.
Qiu Dezhi fell to the ground weakly. Just like that, the 89th Division was taken care of without even seeing the city gate of Jiangcheng.
