7.61 Sidestroke (1)

The god of luck was obviously on the side of the 121st Division this time, and the 661st and 662nd regiments, which had quietly attacked from Li Zhai, actually found the baggage troops of the Seya detachment in the Liangxiadian area, which had not been occupied by the Japanese army for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This baggage force includes a squadron of engineers, automobiles, and sanitary troops, and the Japanese army responsible for protection has less than half an infantry squadron.

Zheng Tao and Wei Xiling, the commander of the 661st Regiment, got together to discuss how to divide the spoils, and the troops brought by the two of them were nearly 4,000 people, and there was no problem at all in eating this Japanese army's baggage troops with such superior forces!

The only thing to note is that the 662nd and 661st regiments must retreat before the Japanese infantry wing arrives, which means that the attack must be quickly resolved.

"Captain Wei, I think let's arrange it like this! The squadron of sappers and medics of the devils is covered by your 661st Regiment, and the squadron of motor soldiers and the infantry on the periphery are handed over to my 662nd Regiment! Before the attack began, each of our two regiments sent a battalion to seize the main communication road leading to Jiehe and Jinshan and Puyang Mountain to serve as a blocking task, and the time for retreat was set to be an hour and a half after the attack was launched! As soon as the time comes, even if it surrounds Kei Seya, he must retreat immediately! Remember, our mission is to grab a handful and leave, but we can't put the troops in! You must know that even if we kill Kai Seya, it will not be useful, the commander wants the entire Seya detachment! There's a net on the other side of Taierzhuang! ”

Because the division commander Wu Jianping favored Zheng Tao, Zheng Tao's status among the four regiment commanders of the 121st Division seemed a little transcendent. Although the division headquarters did not clearly state whether Zheng Tao or Wei Xiling would command the joint force composed of the 661st Regiment and the 662nd Regiment during this sortie, Wei Xiling still consciously put himself in the position of deputy, and the tactical discussion between him and Zheng Tao was mainly Zheng Tao said, and Wei Xiling listened to it.

After Zheng Tao finished speaking, Wei Xiling went through Zheng Tao's words in his mind in a short time. He found that basically Zheng Tao had already taken into account all the issues that needed to be considered in this attack, and the strategy of the arrangement was also very targeted. However, Wei Xiling still said some of his thoughts:

"Commander Zheng, can we change the errands of our two regiments? I know that your 662nd Regiment is the main regiment from the 99th Division, and my 661st Regiment is indeed inferior to your 662nd Regiment in combat effectiveness! But this time the situation is more special, the little devils we have to deal with are basically not combat soldiers, and their combat ability is very limited. If the 661st Regiment still has to hide behind the 662nd Regiment in such a battle, how can I see people in the group army in the future? ”

Zheng Tao smiled, he understood that Wei Xiling was a little meritorious, but unfortunately it was a little absent.

"Commander Wei, you think about it too much, I don't have to grab this first job, I really saw that the devil's car squadron is a piece of fat, and I can't bear to go back empty-handed, there are many soldiers in the 662nd regiment who can drive cars, and they can't compare to a foot of the accelerator on their shoulders, right? In this way, our two regiments will go back much faster, and the two battalions that will act as blockers will be less troublesome......"

Zheng Tao's reason was reasonable, and Wei Xiling could only nod and accept it. At the moment when the two regiments of the 661st Regiment and the 662nd Regiment were about to separate, Wei Xiling turned around and asked Zheng Tao: "If it is time to retreat in a while, do you really have to retreat immediately even if you surround Seya Qi?" ”

Zheng Tao nodded vigorously, his movements were categorical, Wei Xiling sighed with some regret, and then turned around and led his regimental personnel to catch up with the large force of the 661st Regiment.

Looking at Wei Xiling's distant back, Zheng Tao suddenly smiled, and he whispered to himself: "How could this old devil stay with the baggage troops? There isn't even a brigade of infantry here......"

Su Guangyuan, the deputy head of the regiment next to him, leaned over and asked Zheng Tao the same question again in a whisper, is it true that even if the 662nd regiment surrounded Seya Qi, he had to retreat immediately?

Zheng Tao glared at Su Guangyuan, and then scolded and said, "If you kid dares to withdraw, try it!" Isn't it just a Seya Kai! Chop off his head, and Lao Tzu still has a way to rush out! ”

Su Guangyuan laughed, Zheng Tao's answer is the authentic logic of the 99th Division.

Put it to death and live after life, and it will not die for thousands of years!

When the main forces of the 661st and 662nd regiments entered the attack position, the sun began to slowly sink to the west......

***************************************************

"Kanazawa-kun! Come out and see what kind of gift I have brought you!"

Humpty Dumpty, who was standing in front of the tent at the squadron headquarters of the automobile squadron and shouting loudly, was the squadron leader of the infantry garrison squadron, Aoba Shosa, who was originally a combat unit subordinate to the 63rd Infantry Wing, but was later demoted to a garrison of the baggage unit by the detachment leader, Major General Seya Kei, due to heavy losses.

If you count the wounded who stayed in the tent of the medical squadron, Aoba Shaosa still has 193 subordinates. The actual number of officers and men who were able to continue fighting was 107.

Inside the tent, the leader of the car squadron, Kanazawa Shaosa, was sitting on the horse and wiping his southern pistol, and when he heard Aoba Shaosa's shout, Kanazawa Shaosa smiled, stood up and handed his southern pistol to the handyman standing next to him, and motioned for the handyman to continue with what it had not done.

Although Kanazawa Shaozo had never participated in the Japanese army's battles, he also shot and killed people, and dozens of Chinese prisoners of war and civilians died under his gun, and whenever he saw blood gushing out of the wounds of the person who shot him, Kanazawa Shaozo would become inexplicably excited! Aoba often joked that Kanazawa should be assigned to the Sanitary Corps Squadron to face the bloody wounded all day.

There are many traditional and bad habits in the Japanese army, and one of them is that the combat troops look down on the baggage troops. Officers of the same rank, the Japanese officers of the combat units are normally three levels older than the Japanese officers of the baggage units, and in the places where the baggage units gather, it is common to see the angry officers of the combat units slapping the officers of the baggage units with their lives. In other words, a lieutenant in a combat unit can be on an equal footing with Kanazawa Shaoza.

There is a reason why Aoba Shaosa, an officer of the combat unit, is so polite to Kanazawa Shaosa, the two of them are classmates in the same elementary school.

Being able to meet his elementary school classmates on the distant Chinese battlefield cannot but be said to be a kind of fate, since Aoba Shaosa was ordered to become the supreme commander of the garrison responsible for the safety of the baggage troops, Kanazawa Shaosa has lived a very happy life.

After Aoba Shaosa knew that Kanazawa Shaosa had a hobby of blood and corpses, he would often send some prisoners of war to Kanazawa Shaosa as live targets, and on the days when the combat troops on the front line did not send prisoners of war to return, Aoba Shaosa would even find some Chinese civilians to come back. From the faint cry coming from outside the tent, Kanazawa Shaoza had already guessed what Aoba's gift was, and it seemed that he would be able to enjoy it again today......

"Aoba-kun! What good things did you bring me again? ”

Kanazawa walked out of the tent as if he didn't know anything, and he did it to make his classmate Aoba feel proud.

Aoba Shaosa's performance was really the same as Kanazawa Shaoza thought, looking at the happy Aoba Shaosa, Kanazawa Shaosa tried to pretend to be confused.

"Kanazawa-kun! This time I have a different gift for you! Come and check it out! ”

Aoba Shaosa beckoned to the soldier behind him, then took a wrapped mass from the soldier's hand and handed it to Kanazawa Shaosa. Kanazawa Shaozo recognized at a glance that the cloth outside was a blood-stained Chinese military flag, and he was a little surprised to accept this "gift" from Aoba Shaosa.

It's heavy to start! Cold! With this weight, this feeling, a specific thing immediately appeared in Kanazawa Shaoza's mind--- gun!

Kanazawa's other hobby was firearms, and unlike other Japanese officers, he always stubbornly thought that only weapons engraved with chrysanthemums were the best. Compared with several firearms produced in Japan, Kanazawa Shaosa prefers German-made equipment for the Chinese army.

The 10th Division fought from North China to Shandong, defeating many Chinese troops, and the number of weapons captured was naturally an astronomical amount, and most of these captured weapons were transported to the rear by automobile soldiers. Taking advantage of his position, Kanazawa Shaosa collected a lot of standard equipment of the Chinese army, only Hanyang-made rifles, Kanazawa Shaosa had many models in his hands in the early, middle and late periods, and he really couldn't think of any weapons that Aoba Shaosa could find that he didn't have.

Before opening the "package", Kanazawa Shaoza's feeling was a little boring, but after opening the "package", Kanazawa Shaoza's eyes were only left with surprise!

A beautiful Browning pistol sits in the middle of several very primitive "rifles", and such a combination looks so incongruous! Perhaps it is not appropriate to call these long-handled weapons rifles, and Kanazawa Shaosa, a firearms enthusiast, can't even name and model these "rifles".

Kanazawa Shaosa picked up one of the rifles, but the wooden handle of the rifle actually fell, and a strip of cloth was attached between the gunfire and the wooden handle, I really don't know how his master used such a rifle to fight before! Kanazawa Shaozo held the barrel of the gun with his left hand, pulled the bolt with his right hand, and saw a round-headed bullet, this old-fashioned rifle actually had no magazine! You can only shoot one shot, reload one shot!

"The Chinese army on the other side is fighting with us, and this is the kind of weapon used?"

Kanazawa Shaozo's voice was full of uncertainty when he asked, the Japanese army in North China went all the way south from Beiping, and fought with the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Central Army, and it was the first time that Kanazawa Shaozo encountered such a poorly equipped Chinese army!

Could it be that the millions of troops in China have been wiped out by the imperial army? Has the Wuhan government already begun to push civilians into battle?

"That's right! Kanazawa-kun! The Chinese army defending Teng County was such a strange force that the Wuhan government called them the Sichuan Army! The middle and senior officers of this Sichuan army basically wore imported pistols and high-end pocket watches, but their soldiers used such primitive weapons to fight, and their combat effectiveness was very low! I heard that an infantry squad of the Imperial Army can easily defeat a battalion of the Sichuan Army! The warriors of the Imperial Army on the front line are enjoying the feeling of victory! It's a pity that my squadron lost this great opportunity......"

After Aoba Shaoza finished explaining, his mood was obviously affected, but officers of any country like to pinch "soft persimmons" the same, and a battle like Teng County that can achieve combat feats with less effort is exactly what Aoba Shaozo dreams of. Of course, Aoba Shaosa's favorite thing is the battle where you can achieve merit without effort.

Kanazawa Shaozo looked at Aoba Shaozuo's gloomy look, and felt a little unbearable. At this time, Kanazawa Shaosa suddenly saw a more primitive rifle, so he reached out and picked it up, and made an exaggerated sound to try to distract Aoba Shaosa.

"Huh!? What kind of guy is this? Aoba-kun! What a lot you've gained today!? ”

Aoba Shaosa looked along Kanazawa Shaoza's arm, and it turned out that he saw Kanazawa Shaoza was holding a breech shotgun in his hand, such a weapon obviously should not be used in combat, and Aoba Shaosa was also surprised when he saw this gun.

"I was about to talk about this gun! I didn't expect you to find out first! Kanazawa-kun! This old-fashioned breech gun reminds me of the past, my grandfather also had one like this, and it was very well maintained! When I left my homeland, the gun was still hanging in my study, which was really emotional......"

Kanazawa Shaosa smiled at Aoba Shaosa, then held the breech rifle in his hand upside down and examined it carefully. Of course, it is impossible that Kanazawa Shaosa, a weapon that fires projectiles with gunpowder, has not seen it, but in his image, the person who only uses this breech gun should be Orion.

I really didn't expect that the "Sichuan Army" mentioned by Aoba Shaoza was still using such antiques......

Kanazawa found the projectile and gunpowder and the tools for loading from the cloth bag tied to the back of the antique rifle, and in front of Aoba Shaosa, Kanazawa Shaosa loaded the gunpowder and projectiles with great interest, and then fired a shot at a big tree seven or eight meters away.

After the loud noise and the pungent smoke passed, Kanazawa Shaosa led the antique rifle to check his results, and Aoba Shaosa followed. The shot left a deep bullet hole in the trunk of the tree, and Kanazawa asked for a bayonet to remove the bark and trunk around the bullet hole, and after digging deep for a while, Kanazawa found the projectile he had just loaded into the chamber of the gun.

"I wonder what effect this rifle will have on a person?"

Kanazawa Shaoza's perverted habits began to attack again, he pinched the projectile he dug out between his fingers and rubbed it back and forth, his eyes narrowed into a slit and said faintly:

"That's not easy! Yoshimoto! Get those Shina soldiers here! ”

Aoba Shaoza, who was standing next to him, saw that Kanazawa Shaozo had murderous intent, and immediately gave him his second "gift" like a treasure.

More than 300 young soldiers in ragged clothes, dressed in tattered straw sandals, shorts, old-fashioned uniforms, leggings, and some carrying bamboo hats, were carried by devil soldiers with bayonets.

Kanazawa Shaozo felt that these Chinese were not soldiers at all, but more like a group of beggars!

"Kanazawa-kun! These people are the Sichuan army! Defeating such an opponent should be quite boring......"

Aoba Shaoza acted as an explanation in a timely manner, and he told Kanazawa Shaozo in a positive tone that these ragged young men were really Chinese soldiers, and by the way, Aoba Shaozo also expressed his disdain for the front-line commanders.

These Sichuan soldiers captured by the Japanese army were a group of Sichuan recruits. Since the units of the 22nd Group Army fought many battles with the Japanese army in Shandong, and there were many casualties among officers and men, Sun Zhen merged the remnants of several units with relatively large losses and reorganized them together, and stayed them in Shitun, Jing'anji, and other places in the northwest of Xuzhou for training, waiting for the arrival of new recruits in Xuzhou, and immediately receiving and reorganizing them. Before the start of the war in Tengxian, the Sichuan recruits allocated by the Military Commission came to Xuzhou one after another, and the 22nd Group Army was assigned four battalions of recruits, which were concentrated in the area north of Tengxian for training. Prepared to be used to replenish the defenders of Teng County.

After the start of the 0 war, the Japanese army advanced rapidly, and it took less than a day to sweep most of the area north of Teng County. Sun Zhen, commander-in-chief of the 22nd Group Army, ordered all new units to quickly retreat in the direction of Taierzhuang with battalions as units.

In the process of retreating, the encounters of each recruit unit were different, some of the recruit battalions were safe and sound along the way, and some of the recruit battalions encountered a small number of Japanese troops on the way, and broke through after a fierce battle; There were also recruits who encountered a large Japanese army and could not leave.

The Sichuan soldiers who were escorted to Kanazawa Shaozo belonged to the 731st Regiment Recruit Battalion.

Led by Luo Jun, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 731st Regiment, these more than 400 recruits tried to retreat through the Jiehe area to Tengxian and then to Taierzhuang, but they were fiercely attacked by the Japanese cavalry not long after they started.

In a hurry. Luo Jun could only order the deputy battalion commander Tang Shaobin to lead the recruits who were not yet equipped with weapons and run to a small ravine to hide temporarily. He himself gathered fifty or sixty men with squads, platoons, and company commanders with guns, and came out to meet the battle, hoping to attract the attention of the Japanese cavalry, cover the new recruits' escape, and then slowly think about breaking away from the enemy.

However, after the encirclement of the Japanese cavalry, there were more and more cavalry, and Battalion Commander Luo's plan could not be realized, so he could only lead armed men to cover the recruits and retreat. After a hard battle, the new battalion led by Luo Jun was besieged by hundreds of Japanese cavalry in a vast wheat field. Under the frantic attack of the devil cavalry, the combatants with guns quickly lost more than half.

Battalion Commander Luo could only order Deputy Battalion Commander Tang Shaobin to select the recruits who performed better in the training, take over the weapons of the martyrs and continue to fight. The recruit battalion and the Japanese cavalry fought until more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and after all the ammunition he carried with him was gone, Battalion Commander Luo could only take the recruits to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the devils.

Seeing that the Chinese soldiers had run out of ammunition, the Japanese cavalry, who had already dismounted and fought on foot, summoned war horses again, mounted on horseback and brandished their swords and charged towards the new barracks. In order to prevent the weapons from falling into the hands of the Japanese army, Battalion Commander Luo ordered the last few rifles to be smashed and buried in the wheat field, and he rushed to the southwest with the unarmed recruits, trying to fight a way out. As a result, he was surrounded by the Japanese cavalry that caught up, and he was taken prisoner with anger.
