Chapter 721: Harassment
The Japanese soldiers continued to climb up, and the gunfire around them kept ringing, hundreds of Japanese soldiers were beaten into a sieve by machine guns before the pit was filled, and some Japanese soldiers were trampled to death by their own companions.
The loss is at night, the visibility is very low, if it is during the day, it will definitely be a hell on earth, and the soldiers will definitely leave a shadow in their hearts when they see such a scene.
"A few of you stay, and everyone else goes back!" The regimental commander commanded the soldiers.
After the troops left, the regimental commander stepped on the soft soil and walked on the filled pit, and he could even feel the screams coming from under his feet.
"Commander, everything you want me to prepare is over there!" The company commander said to the regiment commander, "Shall we go over and have a look?" ”
The regimental commander stopped, and the torches of the surrounding soldiers were also swaying in the wind, only they were a bright light, and a few meters away was endless darkness, he could not see anything, and he did not want to see it.
"Don't look at it, let's go back! We'll pull it back tomorrow at noon! ”
……
The Japanese troops retreating to the west, after entering the mountains, their life was not easy, the tens of thousands of troops in front of them ate all the wild grass and vegetables, and the troops in the rear had nothing to eat, so more and more Japanese troops fell behind, and the Japanese commanders could not take care of them at all, what they needed was to withdraw the army as soon as possible, and it was understandable that they would give up or sacrifice a small part.
And a battalion arranged by Liao Fan in advance was on the way of the Japanese retreat at any time, and they did not block the way of the Japanese army, but they attacked frequently, and the little devil's troops were too big, and they were careless and powerless against the Chinese troops harassing them.
The troops waiting in the mountains tore off a piece of flesh from the little devil's body, and then quickly disappeared without a trace by taking advantage of the terrain in the mountains, and the Japanese army had already lost thousands of men under their guns.
After walking for nearly three days, the Japanese army finally got rid of the pursuit of the Chinese army and no longer had to endure the harassment of the Chinese army, but the Japanese army was now facing a huge problem, that is, they had to pass through the defense area of the Seventh Group Army, that is, they could successfully pass through the national control area to reach the safe area in only half a day.
Of course, Fu Yisheng received news in advance from the New 33rd Army that the retreating troops of the Japanese army would pass through their defense area, and a day before, Fu Yisheng had already arranged for the troops to transfer the people in the villages where the Japanese army might pass.
Now the Seventh Army is thinking about whether or not to deal with the little devils.
"Yisheng, Chongqing's telegram!" The chief of staff of the Seventh Army handed over a telegram from Chongqing to Fu Yisheng.
"Let me guess what the old man thinks, does he want us to wipe out all the Japanese troops and not let any of them go?" Fu Yisheng sent a telegram but did not read it.
The chief of staff smiled: "You still know the commission, he ordered us to set up three lines of defense, and we must wipe out all these Japanese troops in our defense area!" ”
"This old man always likes to skip the command, and prefers to be whimsical!"
There was no need to read the telegram again, Fu Yisheng directly stuffed it to the chief of staff.
"We can't disobey, can we? This is Chongqing's order! ”
"What about Chongqing? Even if it was the order of the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, he also had to understand the specific situation before commanding the troops to deploy, right? Our Commissar Chiang was thousands of miles away, and to put it mildly, he didn't even know how many main forces of the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area were blindly directing the war, and if he failed, he put all the blame on us, and the final credit for winning the war was all Chongqing's! ”
The chief of staff just smiled lightly, he was friends with Fu Yisheng, only in front of him Fu Yisheng dared to complain about Chairman Jiang's not, and these were indeed Chairman Jiang's style, and they officers had already figured it out.
"Then what should I do, you don't plan to let go of the little devil without letting go of a single shot, right? Fighting little devils has never been Chairman Chiang's business alone, it is the responsibility of us soldiers! ”
Fu Yisheng suddenly stopped and turned to look at his chief of staff: "Am I so unbearable in the eyes of you Liu Ruming?" ”
"Yisheng, don't make fun of me, do you have any arrangements I don't know?"
"Is there anything else I can hide from you in this Suiyuan region?"
Fu Yisheng also wanted to eliminate this little devil, but he was powerless, although the Japanese army suffered defeat in Datong, but the overall strength of the Japanese army did not suffer much blow, their combat effectiveness still existed, and their Seventh Army in addition to maintaining local law and order, but also divided troops to be stationed in various places in the defense area, Fu Yisheng's hands can mobilize troops are not enough for the Japanese army.
He really wants to fight this battle and let the little devils see that their Chinese soldiers are not soft persimmons to pinch your forehead. However, the actual situation is more complicated, the area that the Japanese army wants to pass through must be the edge of their defense area, and these areas are exactly the places where their defense is vacant, and if the arrangement is not good, it is likely that the Japanese army will suffer losses.
Liu Ruming followed Fu Yisheng into the room, this is not the headquarters, just an ordinary bungalow, but there is everything in the room.
"Judging from the telegram sent by the New 33rd Army, the Japanese army has insufficient food and grass in their hands, and they have been harassed by the New 33rd Army in the mountains for a long time, they must be sleepy and lacking in people, if I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would definitely take this road through our defense area!"
Fu Yisheng simply marked on the map, Liu Ruming looked at the map, and several lines had already been marked on it, obviously Fu Yisheng had already prepared here.
"Although the Japanese army is sleepy and lacking, it has sufficient troops, and if they report their march to the Japanese army in Suiyuan at any time, we are likely to be attacked from both sides!" Liu Ruming could see at a glance the problem on the map, the area they could defend along the way was too small, and their troops could not spread out at all.
"The New 33rd Army has a problem for us!" Fu Yisheng put the pen aside.
These Japanese soldiers were completely sent to the door, and I am afraid that the rare fat meat will fly away before it can be cooked, and now whether they fight or not, they will not be able to take any advantage.
"Then don't fight, Chongqing is easy to explain, and they will definitely not embarrass you!" Liu Ruming said to Fu Yisheng.
"Do I care what Chongqing thinks?" Fu Yisheng smiled lightly, now Chongqing can rely on them, no one in the Suiyuan area can do without him, but it can't be without him Fu Yisheng, otherwise the entire Suiyuan area will inevitably become a little devil.
Fu Yisheng was worried about the opinion of the common people, 80 percent of his soldiers were locals, and when he was ordered to assemble the Seventh Group Army in the Suiyuan area, he posted a notice that the troops were to fight little devils to protect the local villagers, but now that the Japanese army passed through their defense area, they did not let go of a single shot, which would greatly reduce the prestige of the Seventh Army in the hearts of the locals, and when the time came, the people would definitely not be convinced if they recruited troops to collect food.
"Yes, our Seventh Army was able to gain a foothold in the Suiyuan area thanks to the support of the local people!" Liu Ruming also understood that their New 33rd Army was almost driven out of Suiyuan and withdrawn to Gansu by the little devils, and if it weren't for the support of the common people, their soldiers would not even be able to eat, let alone have the current situation.
"Hit! Must fight! In order to be worthy of the food sent by the people, we must also fight! ”
Fu Yisheng made up his mind to fight, but with their ability, they would definitely not be able to stop the Japanese army, since they couldn't stop it, there was a way to fight that couldn't be stopped, they just needed to do not let the Japanese army pass through their defense area happily.
The Japanese did not stop at all, and after sending out the vanguard, the large force immediately entered the defense zone of the Seventh Army. The Japanese troops had reached the halfway point of the march and met little resistance, and in three or four hours they would be able to reach safety.
However, when the Japanese reached a place called Centipede's Mouth, their large force was harassed for the first time, and about a battalion of troops harassed them, only to kill and wound a dozen little devils and retreat in a hurry.
"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, it is the government army of the Chinese army!" A Japanese scout reported the situation to the Japanese commander.
"Government forces?"
Judging from the gunfire just now, it is indeed not a local guerrilla force, the gunfire of the local guerrillas is too mixed, there are all kinds of guns, and there are even earth cannons beating iron sand, and the orderly order of the advance and retreat of this unit is obviously not those unorganized local troops.
The Japanese commander was not worried about the government army coming to block their way, because he knew very well the combat effectiveness of the government army, even if they suffered defeat in Datong, but if the government army really won the fight with them, the little devil really did not coward. This is also why the Japanese commander dared to order a retreat from the west.
"Send a telegram to the vanguard troops, let them keep a certain distance from the large army, and fight when they encounter the Chinese army, they must not pursue any troops when they retreat, and the most important thing for us is to withdraw quickly!"
Although the Japanese commander was sure that he would be able to wipe out the Chinese troops who were harassing them, he did not want to delay here, because they had no logistics and no supplies, and it would be very bad for them to take a long time.
In the face of the harassment of the Chinese army, the little devils chose to ignore it, and Fu Yisheng soon learned the news, he knew that the purpose of the Japanese army was not them, but to retreat, and the reason why he ordered a battalion to harass the small devil army was to confirm his thoughts.
"Let the 2nd Security Brigade all press up, tell the staged harassment, the Japanese attack and they retreat, and we will fight if the Japanese army advances! Try the techniques we learned from our apprentices, they won't destroy you, but they'll make you sick! ”
Fu Yi went to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area during his lifetime, of course, he didn't go by himself, and he also brought a group of trainees, he learned the way of guerrilla warfare, with their current ability, they definitely can't fight with tens of thousands of Japanese troops, and they can only use this way of fighting to consume the Japanese army.
