Chapter 292: Rendezvous in the Woods (4)
The political commissar Gao, who was in charge of the command of the Fengwang Mountain position, was actively organizing the soldiers of the 14th and 15th regiments to prepare for battle intensively, when he suddenly found the Japanese troops of the Fujiwara Brigade under the mountain, packed up their tents, and quickly retreated in the direction of Aoshan.
Political Commissar Gao immediately realized that the sudden retreat of the devils must have a lot to do with the Lei Jian Independent Battalion that had infiltrated the enemy-occupied area, and he ordered the telegraph operator to immediately send a report to the 13th Regiment to inform Commander Wu who led the team that the Devil Fujiwara Brigade had taken the initiative to withdraw from Fengwang Mountain and was retreating in the direction of Ao Mountain.
Commander Wu, who was almost close to Liugong Town after crossing Ao Mountain, received a telegram from Political Commissar Gao and immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing.
Commander Wu immediately ordered: "Order the 13th Regiment to seize Aoshan at full speed, build positions and fortifications at the main peak and the south and north peaks, prepare to block the retreating Fujiwara Brigade, and break through the independent battalion of Aoshan to encircle and suppress Lei Jian." ”
He also ordered the telegraph operator to immediately contact the Leijian Independent Battalion and report the current location of the independent battalion and the situation of the troops to the detachment headquarters.
Commander Wu sent another urgent telegram to Political Commissar Gao, asking Political Commissar Gao to lead the 14th and 15th regiments to bite the retreating Fujiwara Brigade, destroy and hold back the enemy in the retreat of the devils, and strive for a decisive battle with the enemy at Aoshan with the total strength advantage of the 13th Regiment, the 14th Regiment, and the 15th Regiment.
Commander Wu and Political Commissar Gao have already been deployed to engage the retreating Fujiwara Brigade at Aoshan to relieve the pressure of the Lei Jian Independent Battalion in the enemy-occupied area and smoothly withdraw to the Dazeshan base area.
Lei Jian led the cavalry team to kill the devil's encirclement, and went straight to the southwest, he thought that he had gotten rid of the devil's pursuit, and was about to turn around and go west, quickly rendezvous with several companies of the independent battalion hidden in the woods west of Liugong Town, and jumped out of the pursuit of the devil's army.
Even if you can't return to the base area smoothly, you can still use Daze Mountain as the main battlefield and maneuver with the devils in the mountains.
But he really didn't expect that the cunning and ruthless Captain Kameda would use two brigades to advance in parallel from the west of the Shahe River and the east of Aoshan at the same time, intending to wipe out his independent battalion in one net.
If it weren't for Commander Wu and Political Commissar Gao, who saw through the conspiracy of the devil commander in time and blocked the encirclement and suppression action carried out by the Fujiwara brigade in Aoshan, the thunder sword would be able to strike with thunder and unexpectedly deal with the enemy, and it would be difficult to escape from the squeeze of the two large devil brigades this time.
Lei Jian led the cavalry team to flock to Liugong Town, at this time there was no devil army stationed in Liugong Town, but there was still a battalion of puppet troops to take over Liugong Town.
He did not immediately lead the cavalry team to attack Liugong Town, but secretly bypassed Liugong Town, close to the woods five miles west of the town.
The three companies of the independent battalion hidden in the woods were a recruit company with no combat experience, and Zheng Tie, who had returned ahead of schedule in this campaign, did not participate in the battle, and strengthened the vigilance inside and outside the woods, for fear of being surrounded and attacked by the enemy's puppet army.
A few soldiers on the alert mission suddenly found that the east was dusty, like a whirlwind, and they spun rapidly.
A soldier didn't know what caused this, so he hurriedly ran into the woods to report to Instructor Dong and Zheng Tie.
Instructor Dong was startled when he heard this, and rushed to the edge of the woods with a few company commanders, and picked up his binoculars to look eastward.
A company commander beside him said, "Instructor Dong, do you think this is the devil's cavalry team that killed you?" Now the wind in the sky is not strong, and there should be no whirlwind, and I think it looks like a cavalry brigade is making a lot of trouble. ”
Instructor Dong didn't care what it was, and ordered the three companies to enter the battle state immediately.
When Lei Jian and the cavalry team approached the woods, he slowed down, he was careful and cautious, and did not dare to bring the cavalry directly into the woods, for fear of causing misunderstanding, and was counterattacked by the soldiers of the independent battalion in the woods.
He was also afraid that something would happen to the three companies hidden in the woods, so he ordered Li Gang to take a few cavalry to get close to investigate, and once he found something suspicious, he immediately warned him to retreat in the direction of Aoshan.
Li Gang took four or five cavalrymen, alertly approached the woods, Zheng Tie, who was hidden in the woods, scanned out with a telescope, felt a little strange, he ordered in a low voice: "No shots are allowed without my order." ”
Zheng Tie saw it clearly, rode in front, and carefully tried to approach the woods It was Li Gang, yes, it was this bastard boy.
He happily rushed out of the woods with a few company commanders, and as soon as Li Gang saw a few people rushing out of the woods, he immediately pointed his gun at Zheng Tie and a few people who rushed out.
As soon as Zheng Tie rushed out of the woods, he shouted: "Li Gang, you kid must not shoot, I am Zheng Tie." ”
Li Gang saw that it was Zheng Tie who rushed out of the woods with several company commanders, and he shouted to Lei Jian, who was pausing behind, "It's safe." ”
Lei Jian saw that there was no accident in the woods, he waved his hand and ordered, quickly rushed into the woods, did a good job of hiding the war horse, and must not expose the target.
He sent several more cavalry detachments to meet the sixth and ninth companies, as well as the sick and wounded, and made sure to bring them back safely.
Lei Jian looked at the three companies hidden in the woods at this time, this is the treasure of his independent battalion at this time, he must pay close attention to the training of this unit, only with actual combat experience, can he protect himself while killing little devils on the battlefield.
He asked Zheng Tie: "How are these three companies training?" ”
Zheng Tie Lizheng replied: "Report to Battalion Commander Lei, I returned to the woods and saw that the soldiers were training hard, and the military quality of the soldiers of the three companies has been greatly improved. ”
"It's hard to say, good steel is trained, and we have to step up training. However, our independent battalion is very short of supplies, and if all the companies that have penetrated deep into the enemy-occupied area return, food will be a big problem. ”
Wang Xiaoliang asked smartly: "Battalion Commander Lei, don't you have the idea of fighting Liugong Town again?" Haha, if there is action, I, Wang Xiaoliang, am willing to lead the troops to charge. ”
"As far as you kid is smart, you're right, Liugong Town is stationed with a battalion of puppet troops, and we have three companies to deal with this group of bastards, it should be enough." Lei Jian whispered orders to the battalion and company commanders around him.
He stood up and ordered: "The cavalry team has all changed into Japanese military uniforms, and immediately set off with me, and the fourth, fifth, and seventh companies of the independent battalion, led by Deputy Battalion Commander Niu who has just returned to the station, will immediately move closer to Liugong Town." ”
A cavalry team of more than forty devils rushed out of the woods and galloped on the road, and the dust kicked up by the four hooves on the ground flew up and pushed forward quickly.
When the cavalry team approached the north entrance of Liugong Town, Lei Jian sat on his horse, and the saber pointed at the puppet army standing guard and asked: "Where is your battalion commander now, call him out for me immediately, the imperial army has an urgent order to find him, do you understand?" ”
When the puppet army sentry heard that the devil cavalry was looking for their battalion commander, he hurriedly nodded his head and said: "Report to Taijun, our battalion commander is at the battalion headquarters, I will take the imperial cavalry into the village quickly, and our battalion commander will definitely treat Taijun well." ”
"Bastard, you didn't understand what I said, did you? Your conscience is greatly broken, and if you don't call out your battalion commander and all company commanders quickly, the Imperial Japanese Army will wipe you out. ”
Lei Jian pretended to be arrogant and scolded the puppet soldier, so frightened that the soldier hurriedly said: "Please wait for Taijun, I will report immediately." ”
The sentry ran into the duty room, picked up the phone and shouted: "Looking for the horse battalion commander, ah, you are the horse battalion commander?" I am Wang Ping on duty at the north entrance of the town, and now there is a cavalry team of the imperial army at the entrance of the town, my mother, I am crazy, I want to kill people at every turn, Taijun ordered you to bring the company commanders, and immediately go to the town to accept Taijun's orders. ”
Battalion Commander Ma also wanted to ask carefully, but the sentry frightened: "Battalion Commander Ma, Taijun has limited you to rush to the entrance of the town in five minutes, otherwise the imperial cavalry will enter the town, you better quickly take the company commanders and run out to meet Taijun." ”
The commander of the puppet army horse battalion frowned and scolded: "Bastard calf, where did you get an imperial cavalry team?" He didn't even enter the town, and he gave me time to run out to meet him, what a bastard. ”
Just five minutes later, the commander of the puppet army horse battalion with several main and deputy battalions and company commanders ran to the north gate of the town, and saw a large imperial cavalry brigade, blocked at the gate of the town, this was the first time he saw such a horse team, not only walked quickly to the first war horse, nodded and asked: "May I ask Taijun, which is the commander of the imperial cavalry team, I am Ma Biao, the battalion commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army garrisoning Liugong Town." ”
A war horse rushed up from behind, and the fast head of the horse almost touched the battalion commander Ma Biao, so frightened that Ma Biao hurriedly retreated, and stood up and saluted and reported: "Report to Taijun, Ma Biao, the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army, report to duty, please give instructions to Taijun." ”
