Chapter 19 Siege Wei rescues Zhao
While the two were talking, all the family management bands gradually rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Gang, the deputy commander of the middle battalion, Tang Keqiang, the old former battalion leader, Qi Debiao, the commander of the left battalion of the training army, Zhao Shixiao, the commander of the right battalion of the training army, and Zhang Kai, the commander of the right battalion of the training army, and the commander of the five battalions and the deputy general Fu Biao were all there, and they all met Nie Shicheng.
Nie Shicheng said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yi brought accurate information about the Japanese army, and the Japanese army decided to launch a surprise attack on our two large battalions before dawn tomorrow, taking advantage of our army's unpreparedness to annihilate our main force of the Qing Dynasty." ”
When several commanders heard this, they were shocked in their hearts, but these people were all battle-hardened generals, and after hearing this, they were all ready to fight. During this time, it was suffocated, no matter how the Japanese army provoked, Marshal Ye strictly ordered not to fight, these commanders were about to be depressed and crazy, and now they can finally fight with the root oriental devils.
Nie Shicheng said in a deep voice: "The Japanese army is strong, and it has always been fearless of death, you must not be careless, the arrogant army will be defeated, now I ask Zhang Yi to introduce the situation to you." ”
Zhang Yi stated it again in front of everyone.
Nie Shicheng looked at the people who were talking about it, and said loudly: "I order, the deputy middle battalion, the old front battalion, and the former battalion of the training army to defend the Chinese army, strengthen the vigilance, and everyone must keep their guns on their bodies and be ready to fight at any time." According to the original plan, the left battalion and the right battalion of the coalition army hid in the mountains and forests on the two wings of the Chinese army, and when the Japanese army entered the ambush circle and the battle was in full swing, they raided the two flanks of the Japanese army. We must defeat the invading Japanese army within an hour, and at least force the Japanese army back. The blue wolf brigade was ambushed in the mountains and forests on the road through which the two large camps in the north and south must pass, and when the Japanese army attacking the north camp was approaching, it blocked the enemy halfway and delayed the enemy's movements, and it was necessary to hold out until our army repelled the enemy from the south! ”
Fu Biao frowned and said, "My lord, I'm afraid this arrangement is inappropriate." The Japanese army raided the Beida Battalion, the number of which was nearly 3,000, and even if there were some casualties, I think it would not be less than 2,000, and the special reconnaissance battalion only had less than 100 people, and the disparity in strength was too great, even if they could defeat 10 with one enemy, I was afraid that it would not take too long for the whole army to be wiped out, after all, in a large-scale war, the number of dozens of people can play a too limited role. ”
Nie Shicheng sighed lightly and said, "I don't know the pressure faced by the reconnaissance battalion, under this battle, I'm afraid that the shelves will be broken up." It's just that we still have to face a surprise attack of 3,000 Japanese troops in front of us. If the Japanese army in front is not disabled, then the Japanese army behind will rush up sooner or later, and when the time comes, our army will suffer even greater losses under the encirclement of the Japanese army. ”
Li Gang said: "Lord Junmen, in my opinion, let our deputy middle battalion go to block the enemy, I promise to be able to nail the Japanese army to the north side of Yashan, not half a step forward, at least we can hold out until tomorrow evening!" ”
Nie Shicheng replied: "No, it is better to cut off one of his fingers if he hurts his ten fingers, if the deputy middle battalion is transferred, we will only have less than 2,000 people left, and the strength is far inferior to the enemy." With the bravery of the Japanese army, I am afraid that it will be difficult not to say that it will be severely damaged, even if it is repulsed, and at the same time, the deputy middle battalion will also be severely damaged by the superior strength of the enemy, and we will lose more than we gain. ”
While everyone was arguing, Zhang Yi suddenly smiled and said: "Lord Junmen, Brother Li, then we will not stop the enemy in the middle and change the way of playing." ”
Nie Shicheng and Li Gang looked at Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "My lord, the Japanese army raided my two large camps in the north and south, and they totaled less than 6,000 people, and now they have dispatched more than 5,000 people, which can be said to be overwhelming." Then I will lead the blue wolf brigade to all sorts, blitz the Japanese garrison, a fire burned the Japanese camp, the Japanese backyard fire, will definitely not reinforce the southern foot of the Japanese army, but turn back to rescue the camp, and our army can also concentrate forces to the south of the enemy to meet the head-on attack, at least heavy damage to the enemy! ”
Nie Shicheng laughed: "Good, good! The so-called siege of Wei to save Zhao is like this. ”
However, Nie Shicheng immediately frowned again and said, "But although the Japanese army camp is empty, there will still be hundreds of people left behind, and your blue wolf brigade is afraid that ......"
Zhang Yi waved his hand and replied: "Don't worry, my lord, everyone in the blue wolf brigade is the elite of one enemy and ten, and the elite of the enemy army is exhausted, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they can't withstand my blow at all, and within half an hour, I will definitely be able to completely annihilate the Japanese garrison and attract the attacking Japanese army to retreat!" ”
Nie Shicheng thought for a moment and said loudly: "Okay, according to your plan, once the attack is won, I will ask for the first credit for you!" ”
Zhang Yi arched his hand and replied, "Yes, my lord!" ”
Nie Shicheng waved his hand and said, "Since this is the case, then everyone should act separately." ”
Zhang Yi hurriedly said: "Wait, my lord, most of the Japanese troops will send scouts to go first, our army is ambushed in the mountains and forests on both sides, although it can be hidden, but it is also easy to be discovered by enemy scouts, I propose to put my three divisions in front, find enemy scouts, all of them will be eliminated, first knock out the eyes of the Japanese army, let them become deaf." ”
Nie Shicheng replied: "Well, in that case, you should act separately and step up your preparations, and we must be high and low with Japan!" ”
Everyone withdrew one after another and went down to prepare.
Zhang Yi returned to the camp, called Tan Feng, Xu Huaijin, Zhang Yihu, and Ba Gen, and said, "I have already told Nie Dashuai about the Japanese army's preparation for a surprise attack. You tell the brothers to prepare guns, ammunition and horses, and rest early, and tonight, all the people of the Blue Wolf Brigade will surprise the Japanese camp with me, and we must completely annihilate the Japanese guards, set fire to the camp, and attract the Japanese army back to defense! ”
In the middle of the night, all four detachments of the reconnaissance battalion gathered in front of the battalion, Zhang Yi said in a deep voice: "According to Nie Shuai's military order, tonight our blue wolf brigade will take advantage of the Japanese army's sneak attack on our army, and when the nest is dispatched, we will make a detour to Ping'an Village and blitz the Japanese camp. ”
The crowd replied in a deep voice, "Yes, we will win!" Win! ”
Zhang Yi shouted: "Let's go!" ”
Dozens of horses galloped away from the camp and galloped towards Chenghuan.
When he arrived at the hillside not far from the Japanese camp, Zhang Yi collected his horse and asked: "Everyone temporarily dismount and rest, and when you hear the sound of guns and cannons in the Asan camp, immediately charge the Japanese camp, remember not to annihilate the Japanese army, and leave a few introductions to send the letter!" ”
After resting for about half an hour, they suddenly saw the fire rising from the direction of Yashan, and in an instant the cannon roared, and the eve of dawn was the time of silence, which was dozens of miles apart from each other, and the sound came from afar.
Zhang Yi shouted: "Get on the horse, charge!" ”
The Japanese camp was only a mile away from their hillside, and in the blink of an eye they had rushed to the front of the camp. When he met the Japanese patrol in front of him, the leader of the Japanese army saw a group rushing towards the camp and shouted: "What people, stop quickly, or shoot!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the men and horses of the Blue Wolf Brigade did not answer, and they raised their guns and fired, and they all had the most advanced Mauser Type 88 repeating rifles in the Huai Army, with an astonishing rate of fire. In an instant, the unsuspecting Japanese patrol was swept into a large area by them, and less than ten of the dozens of patrol members were still alive, and the Japanese army was just about to shoot back, and the stainless steel machete in the hands of the members of the blue wolf brigade who rushed to the front had already been rounded and beckoned. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers were caught off guard, none of them fled, and all of them had their heads cut off.
Immediately afterwards, the horse team of the Blue Wolf Brigade should have rushed into the Japanese camp.
At this time, the Japanese troops in the battalion heard the gunshots, and rushed out of the residence in a panic, and the Japanese troops in the front battalion had not had time to organize a formation, and they had been scattered by the whirlwind horse team.
The elite of the Japanese army has been sent out to sneak attack, and all that remains is some old, weak, sick and disabled logistics troops......
Under Asan Mountain, the battle was the first to start in the northern foot of the camp, in order to succeed in one fell swoop, led by the Japanese Major General Oshima Yoshimasa himself, the Japanese army took advantage of the cover of night, directly touched the foot of the mountain, and the only few Qing army sentry spies were easily pulled out by the Japanese sentry spies.
Not far from the camp, Yoshimasa Oshima stared at the Qing army's North Camp, his eyes shone fiercely, and shouted: "Artillery preparation, target the Qing army camp, cover the shelling!" After the first round of artillery attacks, taking advantage of the confusion of the enemy army, the cavalry squadron charged directly and dispersed the combat formation of the Qing army, and the infantry followed up to annihilate the fleeing Qing army! ”
