Chapter 265: Muma River Ambush
Xinkou leads to the direction of Muma River, and there are only a few major roads. In order to avoid this time, the Japanese fighters detected the march track of the Chaxin 1st Regiment in the air, and Li Yunlong ordered the troops to avoid the main road and march south by the small road.
"Regiment commander, the troops covering the rear hall have caught up. But the devil of Xinkou is out of the city, and at this time the traces chasing us are coming! It's still seven or eight miles away! What to do? In the long marching procession, Zhou Hua, the commander of the special service battalion who was covering behind the palace, ran to the side of the road and reported to Li Yunlong, who was commanding the troops to march quickly.
Li Yunlong frowned, special mother, this Xinkou devil seems to be the new main force who wants to entangle labor and management!
"Order the troops to speed up the march, Lao Zhou, you have to get more grenades on the road, make them into tricks, and hinder the speed of the Xinkou devils chasing the troops!" Li Yunlong thought about it and said.
Zhou Hua suddenly smiled: "Hey, hey, hey!" Commander, I see! ”。
Using grenades to make trick mines, plus some other explosives or something, can also block the pursuit speed of Kentaro Sugihara's Japanese puppet army, so that his side can get out of the entanglement of the Japanese puppet army in Xinkou.
And Zhou Hua went to deploy this matter, and Li Yunlong beckoned Zhang Dabiao and others to discuss the next counterattack on the road while following the troops to withdraw.
"According to the observation of Zhou Hua's troops covering behind the back hall, the Japanese puppet army in Xinkou, which pursued us, was at least about fifteen or six hundred people, including two Type 92 infantry guns and more than ten light and heavy machine guns, it seems that Kentaro Sugihara, this old devil, wants to catch us! What do you guys think? On the way, Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao.
Zhang Dabiao frowned, at this time, the troops marched quickly and took a small road, although they avoided being bombed by Japanese fighters, but it would also slow down the marching speed of the troops.
After the previous battle in Xinkou City, Zhang Dabiao still attached importance to the combat effectiveness of the Japanese puppet army in Xinkou.
"Regiment Commander, the devil of Xinkou seems to have received an order from Yoshio Shinozuka to catch us. Otherwise, how could it be possible to send so many troops out of the city to chase us! Once we maintain this posture of pursuing the troops with the Xinkou Japanese puppet army, sooner or later we will be caught up! At present, the troops must take refuge in the mountains as soon as possible! Zhang Dabiao suggested.
Li Yunlong bowed his head, nodded and said, "What you kid said is good!" Judging from the map, we are currently here, and we have basically arrived at the north bank of the Muma River less than two kilometers away! Dingxiang, even if the Japanese garrisons on both sides of Xizhou are advancing from east to west, it is impossible to catch us before we cross the Muma River! So, what we mean is that we have to fight a battle with the little devils here in the Muma River. Otherwise, our troops have psoriasis behind their buttocks, which is too uncomfortable! ”。
Zhang Dabiao looked at the map and agreed: "Commander, I agree!" We can wade across the Muma River. Plus now that it's winter, the river is already frozen! Crossing the river is not a problem! But it may not be easy to ambush at the Muma River. The little devil's firepower won't lose to us! ”。
In Li Yunlong's view, Zhang Dabiao's worries are not a big problem at all.
"You can rest assured of this big biao! By the time we arrived at Mumahe, Duan Peng's people should have almost already scouted! Go, march quickly, and rush to the Muma River! Li Yunlong waved his hand and said to Zhang Dabiao and others!
"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao and the others nodded in response, and then the long line went all the way south, retreating in the direction of the Muma River.
Li Yunlong and his troops hurried and finally withdrew to the north bank of the Muma River. I saw that the surface of the Muma River was frozen, and basically pedestrians could walk up the river to cross the river to the south bank.
Duan Peng and the others, who had previously gone south to reconnoiter the situation along the retreat route, had already met Li Yunlong and the others.
Duan Penghui, Li Yunlong and the others immediately reported to Li Yunlong Lizheng: "Regiment commander, the surface of the Muma River has been frozen, and the troops can cross the river safely, there is no problem at all!" In addition, we continued to reconnoiter southward, and in the direction of Yunzhong Mountain, this east-west horizontal mountain range in the south of Xinzhou, did not find enemy troops and bandits! As long as we enter the mountains, even if Kentaro Sugihara's Japanese puppet army chases here, it will be useless! ”。
"Okay, you kid did a good job! However, it is necessary to fight an ambush on the south bank. What is the topography of the South Shore? Standing on a raised dirt slope by the river on the north bank of the Muma River, Li Yunlong pointed to the south bank of the Muma River after ascending the height, and said to Duan Peng.
Duan Peng immediately pointed to the south bank and said, "Commander, the terrain on the south bank is the same as here on the north bank!" But if you want to ambush, you can only ambush around a small basin under the mountain near the edge of the mountain range on the south bank, otherwise, an ambush on the south bank of the river will not be of much use! On the contrary, our casualties will be very large! ”。
If it is in spring, summer and autumn, the water of the Muma River can stop the pursuit of the Japanese puppet army, after all, it was very troublesome to wade across the river at that time, and the river surface was frozen at this time, even if Li Yunlong's troops had light and heavy machine guns as a fire blockade, but the Japanese army could also open a distance from the upper and lower reaches of the left and right sides of the battlefield to find a place to continue to cross the river and flank to the south bank, and then outflank the two flanks of the new regiment blocking position.
At that time, it was very troublesome. After all, the little devil uses a lot of roundabout offensive paths, and Li Yunlong can't ignore this.
"Da Biao, Lao Ma, Lao Zhou, how many of you think so?" Li Yunlong also observed the topography of the south bank, and it was indeed not suitable for blocking warfare, and ambush warfare was not easy.
Several people looked at each other, and each said something, Zhang Dabiao had been the chief of staff of the new regiment, so he said loudly: "Regiment commander, the previous plan was to fight a battle in the Muma River and ambush the Japanese puppet army that ate Kentaro Sugihara, so as to defeat the arrogance of the Japanese puppet army in Xinkou. But at the moment, the ambush battle here in Muma River is indeed not easy to fight! My suggestion was that the troops could fight a small ambush in the small basin on the south bank of the Muma River. But the main force continued to cross the Muma River immediately and then went into the mountains to rest! We don't have to lose too many brothers here for the sake of Kentaro Sugihara's Japanese puppet army! ”。
After Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, Zhou Hua, the commander of the special service battalion, nodded and said, "Commander, I agree!" We have only a thousand brothers left, but the brothers are a little tired from the march. This is still an ambush battle here in the Muma River, which is indeed inappropriate! Our main force withdrew to the mountains, and even if it was Kentaro Sugihara's Japanese puppet army, those men and horses would not be able to find us! ”。
"You guys are right, then cross the Muma River immediately and retreat into the mountains on the south bank!" Li Yunlong saw that everyone did not agree to fight an ambush in Muma River, so he synthesized the reality of the situation here in Muma River and decided to say!
