Chapter 877: Containment and Siege (2)
Wang Ziming saw that the names between Zhang Guanghua and Wang Xiaoliang were simplistic, he didn't know what the relationship between the two was, in order to facilitate his work in the future, he wanted to try to figure out the relationship between these people, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Vice President Zhang, Deputy Head Wang, you two are so affectionate, it won't be ......." β
"Wrong, we haven't known each other for a long time, and we met twice when Commander Lei Jian was transferred to the field hospital, and today we got together again in order to carry out a new mission in Fuping City." Zhang Guanghua suddenly comprehended Wang Ziming's question with a mysterious tone, and explained with a blushing face: "Minister Wang, in order to facilitate our work behind enemy lines, we both omitted the previous surnames at the same time, don't misunderstand. β
"Hahaha, okay, then don't always be a 'Minister Wang', just call me Wang Ziming or Lao Wang."
"Old Wang Ba? Lao Wang, why does it sound so awkward? Hahaha. Wang Xiaoliang, a muddy boy, didn't know what to do, but he made a joke.
Zhang Guanghua pulled Wang Xiaoliang violently, and said unhappily: "Xiaoliang, when is it, is it a little straight?" In this way, Lao Wang will be unhappy. β
Wang Ziming looked at Wang Xiaoliang with a smile, and said with appreciation: "It's really rare and rare for this brother to maintain a joking heart at a very critical moment." β
Wang Xiaoliang was embarrassed by the two of them to say this, and pulled Wang Ziming embarrassedly, and said sincerely: "Lao Wang, you are always fighting for life and death face to face with the enemy, knife to knife, gun to gun, and suddenly standing in this room full of the smell of medicine, I feel relaxed, and there is no door to speak, don't laugh at you, Minister Wang." β
At this moment, Feng Guang, the commander of the guard platoon, shouted outside the door: "Report to Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, the head of the military region has called, the organs of the Jinchaji Military Region in Chengnan Zhuang have jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese army, and the 26th Sakamoto Brigade of the Japanese Army is rapidly rushing towards Fuping City.
In addition, the blocking position of the North Mountain of the military city held by our only regiment and the fifth regiment has been broken through by the Japanese Fourth Mountain Brigade, and the two brigades separately pursued the main force of our Eighth Route Army, sent a wing to advance rapidly to Fuping County, and ordered the commander of the Lei Jian Regiment to escort the special team and immediately enter a state of concealment. β
Wang Xiaoliang shouted 'Report to Deputy Head Wang' as soon as Feng Guang finished his report, then pushed the door and rushed out of the ward, and when Feng Guang finished reporting, he scolded with a big head: "Li Gang, this bastard, how could he lose the Beishan blocking position?" If Regiment Commander Lei commanded this battle, he would never ask the little devil to advance half a step towards Fucheng. β
He said to Feng Guang: "You stand outside the door, waiting for orders, ready to act at any time. Wang Xiaoliang rushed into the ward as he spoke, closed the door casually, and asked Wang Ziming and Zhang Guanghua, "Did you all hear it?" The situation is urgent, I, Wang Xiaoliang, am not familiar with Fuping City, Minister Wang, no, Lao Wang, what should we do next, we can't just stand here and wait for the little devil to enter the city, right? β
Wang Ziming felt that the situation was urgent, and he asked Wang Xiaoliang and Zhang Guanghua: "Deputy Head Wang, Vice President Zhang, you two ......." β
"It's too long, it's simple, just call us Xiaoliang and Guanghua, which is both direct and clear. Besides, it's up to you to cooperate with the Einsatzgruppen to conceal it, so it's up to you, and you can say it quickly. Zhang Guanghua looked at the anxious old Wang and said.
"Okay, then I'm welcome, please Xiaoliang arrange for the soldiers to carry the three seriously wounded to this ward, let's prepare separately, and gather in this room in fifteen minutes.
However, I would like to state first that in order to protect the lives of the seriously injured from being exposed, please be cautious when arranging for personnel to enter this ward, and you must find people who can be trusted and strong-willed and reliable in order to cooperate with us. Wang Ziming walked out of the ward and solemnly asked.
Wang Xiaoliang and Zhang Guanghua didn't understand for a while, but nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, you will arrive here in fifteen minutes." β
At this time, Chengnanzhuang has been occupied by the Japanese army, and the blocking position of the north mountain of the military city was broken through by the fourth brigade of the Japanese army.
The 1st Regiment and the 5th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which had been holding the Beishan position, repelled five consecutive Japanese charges, and the 4th Battalion of the 1st Regiment in the frontal position, and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions on both flanks fought bravely and fiercely with the enemy, suffering heavy casualties.
In order to strengthen the defense of the position, and also to appease the dissatisfaction of the cadres and soldiers of the only regiment and the first battalion of the only regiment that had been in the reserve, as well as the cadres and soldiers of the fifth regiment, he decided to change the first battalion and the fourth battalion and stick to the frontal position, and the first and second battalions of the left and right flanks of the only regiment were to change the defense with the second and third battalions of the only regiment, and the command of the entire Beishan position was handed over to the command of Commander Pang of the fifth regiment.
In order to lure and contain the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain and reduce the pressure of troops and firepower in attacking the Beishan position, Li Gang personally led the three special companies of the One Regiment to join up with the cavalry battalion of the One Regiment that had been ambushed on the west hill of the military city, and laid out the layout at the bottom of the mountain to harass and contain part of the enemy's forces.
Li Gang set up an ambush for three special companies every 300 meters, and then ordered the cavalry battalion to covertly move from the west mountain to the north mountain and the Japanese battalion to attack the enemy by surprise.
The orders he gave to the cavalry battalion were: to attack quickly, to slash and kill ruthlessly, not to fall in love, to contain the enemy, to bring the pursuing enemy into three ambush circles, once the infantry company and the enemy exchanged fire, the cavalry battalion fully cooperated, and advanced and retreated at the same time.
Battalion commander Ma Ming led the cavalry battalion to quickly sneak attack, bringing the pursuing enemy into an ambush circle, and the Japanese army sent a large group of commanders to pursue, arrogantly did not take the Eighth Route Army in his eyes at all, and pursued him without any scruples, breaking through the two ambush circles of the Eighth Route Army in a row, and even more arrogantly rushed straight to the "remnants" of the Eighth Route Army that "broke out" into the woods.
The Second Brigade of the Japanese Army, which followed closely, quickly encircled Li Gang's three special companies hidden in the woods from both flanks.
Li Gang held the binoculars and found that the transfer of two Japanese brigades from the enemy camp at the foot of Beishan Mountain at once would greatly reduce the pressure on the troops of the Eighth Route Army who were attacking the positions of the Beishan Single Regiment and the Fifth Regiment by one-third of the offensive force at the foot of the mountain.
However, he despised the rapid reaction and combat capability of the two Japanese brigades, and according to the original deployment, he joined up the spy company and the assault company that had retreated to the woods with the reconnaissance company, and set up an ambush in the woods in a zigzag shape.
The two Japanese brigades frantically pounced on the woods from the front and on both flanks, and Li Gang ordered all companies to destroy the enemy rushing in front with maximum firepower, and ordered the cavalry battalion on the periphery of the woods to attack from behind the enemy.
The cunning commander of the second brigade of the Japanese army, drew a squadron, occupied a favorable terrain behind the troops, and divided it into three blocking squads, as long as the cavalry battalion appeared, the three squads supported each other in the flow, not only to block the attack of the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army, but also to eliminate them all.
Ma Ming led the cavalry battalion to hide 100 meters away from the woods, and when he found that the second brigade of the Japanese tail team, the first brigade attacked both sides of the woods from the front, and quickly surrounded it in a fan shape, intending to wipe out the Eighth Route Army that had 'fled' into the woods.
He had already sensed the danger of the three special companies of the only regiment hidden in the woods, and ordered the telegraph operator to immediately send a telegram to remind Commander Li Gang to quickly retreat to the western mountain, so as not to be surrounded by the enemy in the woods.
He ordered the soldiers of the cavalry battalion: "All the soldiers have listened, Commander Li led the spy company, the assault company and the reconnaissance company to hide in the woods to contain the enemy, and now it is at a very dangerous and important junctureββγ β
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion, I heard the commander of the horse battalion say that the commander of the regiment Li Gang and the three special companies were dangerous, but they had just lost the commander of the Lei Jian regiment, and Li Gang had just taken on this important responsibility.
Under the order of the battalion commander Ma Ming, he brandished his saber and shouted, 'Rush-', and went forward to kill the devils who surrounded the woods on both wings.
The commander of the enemy's second brigade, when he saw that the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army suddenly came up from the northeast, grabbed his butt and killed, he laughed and said: "Yexi, the cavalry brigade of the Eighth Route will be wiped out by our Imperial Japanese Army this time." β
Just when the commander of the second brigade of devils laughed arrogantly, it suddenly stopped, and the formation of the cavalry battalion just rushed out was concentrated and majestic, but in the blink of an eye, the war horses were like sharp swords, scattering towards the tail of the Japanese army.
The enemy commander sent a squadron of devils in advance to face the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army that repeatedly and quickly rushed over, but he could not concentrate his forces to destroy the cavalry battalion group, and could only capture the target at any time and look for opportunities to hunt and kill the cavalry and war horses.
The 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army had approached the edge of the woods, and cooperated with the two squadrons of the 2nd Brigade behind to quickly encircle Li Gang's three companies hidden in the woods on both sides. Once the woods were quickly surrounded, Li Gang and more than 300 warriors did not have the ability to break through the encirclement of a large number of devils, and in the end they could only fight fiercely to the last soldier.
