Chapter 33: Yang Xuan
8.33 Yang Yuan
Yangdan is a small village located between Liuyuankou and Hongmiao, which is inconspicuous on the map. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info But as the only place for the Chinese army to lead from Liuyuankou to the Red Temple, Yang Yuanyuan easily attracted the attention of Yasuda Kaneto Nakasa, and the 18th Cavalry Wing under his command sent a large number of reconnaissance cavalry to Yang Yuanyuan, and in just the last half an hour, two groups came from outside the village!
A wave of Japanese cavalry in front of them wandered around the entrance of the village to the east for a while, as if they wanted to enter Yang Yanyuan, but perhaps because they were afraid that there would be Chinese troops in the village to set up an ambush, they still did not dare to enter the village.
Not long after these devil cavalry left Yang Yuanyuan, Second Lieutenant Fukuoka, the leader of the reconnaissance cavalry squad, and a dozen Japanese cavalrymen approached again from the south.
Looking at the billowing smoke and dust driven by the war horses driven by those "temporary workers" in the distance, Ensign Fukuoka showed a disdainful smile! Is it because the Chinese army does not know about their existence because they make such a big movement in broad daylight? For this undisguised cavalry squad, the Chinese army can be found far away! Your Excellency Wing Commander would expect these guys to discover valuable information? It's really wishful thinking!
Due to the large number of squads sent by the 18th Cavalry Wing, the authentic reconnaissance cavalry has long been unable to meet the demand, so the cavalry of many combat units of General Yasuda Kaneto Nakasa was brought in for a temporary cameo, and the cavalry squad that left after wandering around the village entrance before is this kind of "temporary worker", compared with these professional reconnaissance cavalry under Lieutenant Fukuoka, those laymen are simply "stupid" and pitiful!
"Gentlemen! Let's show these combat unit idiots now! What kind of action is the perfect reconnaissance! Enter the village! β
Second Lieutenant Fukuoka beckoned to the Japanese scout cavalry behind him, and then walked slowly towards the entrance of the village with his legs between his hips.
Only an idiot in the combat army would be worried about being ambushed after entering the village, right? If there really were Chinese troops in this village, how could they not react at all to the prying eyes of a dozen Japanese cavalrymen? All it takes is a machine gun and a few riflemen to completely bury the cavalry squad that probed at the head of the village just now! Since none of this is happening, it means that the village is empty!
Sure enough, Ensign Fukuoka's judgment was soon verified, and there were no Chinese troops stationed in the village called Yang Yuanyuan. Not only that, but it is not difficult to see from the bomb craters all over the village, as well as the collapsed courtyard walls and houses, that there should have been a battle here, and the scale was not small! The current Yang Yuan is actually a ruin of war!
Is there a better place to lurk in a ruined village by the side of a road? Second Lieutenant Fukuoka decided to set up the observation point at Yang Hang. However, although this person is well hidden in the ruins, the placement of the war horse has become a problem. In order to prevent the observation point hidden in the village due to the war horses, Second Lieutenant Fukuoka asked one of his soldiers to move their war horses to a safe place outside the village with two cavalrymen, while Second Lieutenant Fukuoka himself left the village with the rest of the devil soldiers.
"Hurry! Grab the houses and commanding heights facing the road! Mita, you take someone to the big roof in front! There's a great view, and your light machine gun can block the entrance to the village! Aikawa! You take the radio and act with me! And Miura! I need you as a cartographer! The rest of the people, each seizing the house and the commanding heights facing the road! Remember, from now on, all of you are only allowed to watch and not to speak! I found myself behind the collapsed earthen wall in front of you! β
Second Lieutenant Fukuoka quickly issued a series of orders, and the dozen or so devil scouts gathered around him immediately dispersed and disappeared behind the ruins, and these cautious guys even used branches to sweep away the horseshoe prints on the ground, just from this one detail, it can be seen that the dozen or so scout cavalry led by Second Lieutenant Fukuoka are all veterans who are proficient in this business!
With a satisfied smile, Second Lieutenant Fukuoka jumped into a dilapidated courtyard with two inferior soldiers, Aikawa and Miura, and then pushed open the charred door and entered the house, which was located at the highest point of the entire Yangfu Pier, and from the stained windows on the side of the large house, you could clearly see the road not far from the village.
After Aikawa Juncao entered the house, he immediately put the radio on the only wooden table in the room and then turned on the computer and began to look for radio signals, but there was a very noisy sound from the earphones, and the signal in the room was very poor, and it seemed that only peripheral antennas were installed! However, there was no suitable place to set up antennas outside the house, so in the end Aikawa Juncao came up with a brilliant solution, he stretched the radio antenna out of a hole in the gable wall, and then set it up on a crooked neck tree in front of the house, so as to achieve the effect of concealment and enhance the reception capacity of the radio station.
When Aikawa Guncao was done with this, Second Lieutenant Fukuoka walked over and patted Aikawa Guncao on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, knowing that a qualified reconnaissance cavalry squad could not do without a communications specialist like Aikawa Guncao. Even if Second Lieutenant Fukuoka gets the most important information, if there is no Aikawa Guncao to send this information out on the radio, then everything will be in vain!
After Miura had calculated the coordinates of the Wing by using the compass in his hand and the military map, Aikawa contacted the wing headquarters by radio, and in a return call, Yasuda Kaneto Nakasa praised the bold plan made by the second lieutenant Fukuoka and asked them to hold out until the new order arrived.
At this point, Second Lieutenant Fukuoka's reconnaissance cavalry squad is all ready! From now on, the only thing they have to do is wait!
Outside, a gust of wind blew and picked up a few leaves that had fallen to the ground, and the entire village fell into a dead silence again, as if no one had ever come.
*************************************************
Cao Fulin's 27th Division came to Lanfeng and was transferred to Liuyuankou by Huang Haoran before it was fought, at first Cao Fulin thought that the 71st Army's attack on Liuyuankou was not smooth, so the commander thought of his 27th Division.
As a result, when Cao Fulin rushed to Liuyuankou with the 27th Division, he learned that Song Xilian's 71st Army had already resulted in the heavy army wing of the Tufeiyuan Division. At present, apart from fighting artillery battles with the 20th Division on the other side of the Yellow River and the Japanese warships on the river, his 27th Division has no other combat missions to carry out at all!
Could it be that the commander really planned to let the 27th Division come to the bank of the Yellow River to fight the devils on the other side? You must know that the 27th Division doesn't even have a single mountain artillery! Heavy machine guns can't hit the other side!
Looking at the boiling Yellow River north of Liuyuankou, Cao Fulin is really a lawsuit!
Fortunately, Huang Haoran did not confuse Cao Fulin for a long time, and after receiving a telegram from Cao Fulin asking about the next combat mission, the former enemy general command immediately issued a new order to the 27th Division! The original text of the command is as follows:
"Cao Fulin, commander of the 55th Army of the Secret Seal Letter:
After receiving the telegram, you are ordered to set off from Liuyuankou immediately, and return to Lanfeng the same way as you came! Along the way, your unit must make a big fanfare, disguise a division with a regiment, and disguise the Japanese chariots captured by Xu Zilong's division as a chariot battalion of the 200th division, so as to make a momentum that all the two armies of our army located north of Lanfeng will go to Lanfeng......"
Although Cao Fulin didn't know why Huang Haoran would let him do this, out of trust in Huang Haoran and absolute obedience to his superiors, Cao Fulin soon embarked on the return journey with the 27th Division.
Along the way, the 27th Division moved very slowly, and carefully selected some major roads that were easy to be detected by Japanese reconnaissance planes, and temporarily waved the banners of the 71st Army and the 1st Army in the marching queue.
These faΓ§ade skills are all easy to do, but the most difficult thing to disguise is actually the length of the marching army column and the number of officers and soldiers! In order to put on the appearance of the continuous marching columns of the troops, Cao Fulin ordered the adjustment of the marching columns of the 27th Army twice, first four columns became two columns, and then two columns became one column, and everything the 27th Division did was just to make the length of the marching columns look like that!
Dress up two armies with one division! What a technical job!
"Tell the troops on the march! Don't get so close to each other! Keep your distance! In this way, the line can be lengthened! Zhao Xiangchen! I said, don't be foolish, boy! Lao Tzu wants your two regiments to put on the posture of two divisions! Look at your soldiers! What are they all like! β
Since the two armies went south to Lanfeng together, it was naturally impossible to hit and act on the same road, and the road that Cao Fulin followed pretended to be the 36th and 87th divisions of the 71st Army, and the "actors" were the two regiments of the 85th Brigade under Zhao Xiangchen.
In order to put on a posture, the marching shape of the 85th Brigade can be said to have violated all the taboos of the march! More than 4,000 officers and soldiers lined up in a long snake formation, and the length of the marching column of the company was actually stretched to 150 meters! And there were also a large number of wagons and rickshaws loaded with stones and straw, in which artillery wagons and ammunition wagons were camouflaged. In the current state of the 85th Brigade, once it encounters a surprise attack by the Japanese army, it will be difficult for Zhao Xiangchen's troops to assemble combat troops to fight in a short time!
This scene is really dangerous enough!
"Air raid siren! Japanese planes! Beware of concealment! β
Just when Cao Fulin was busy and a little hurried, a sharp shout suddenly sounded on the small dirt slope on the side of the high road! That's the air guard post set up by the 27th Division!
After all, the long marching column on the highway still attracted the Japanese planes, and when they heard the warning whistle, the officers and men of the 85th Brigade on the highway immediately threw away the "props" in their hands and ran to the open field on the side of the highway! Cao Fulin and Zhao Xiangchen were in a hurry at that time! Isn't this about goofs? How can a unit in this world immediately lose all its military supplies when it encounters an air attack? Although the officers and men of the 85th Brigade are holding some "fake things" in their hands, at least they want to think that these things are real!
Otherwise, how can you fool the little devils?
"Bring all the supplies and equipment with you and then withdraw! Don't panic! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
