The autumn rain is pouring down, and autumn in the northeast is much colder than in Kannai, and the further north you go, the colder it gets. The north wind and the icy rain poured out the officers and soldiers who were marching in the rain inside and out.

The marching contingent of 20,000 troops staggered along the muddy official road and crawled towards Dehui County. The reason why it is said to be crawling, it is because from Changchun to Dehui County, but more than 70 kilometers of flat road of Pingchuan, Xiqia's 20,000 An ** stunned is just over half of the day after three days, but only a dozen kilometers a day. Today, in the cold and biting autumn rain, the movement is even slower, and there are shouting and scolding voices everywhere. The soldiers complained even more, and the officers were no better, they all ate Zhang's family food and wore Zhang's clothes for many years. At this time, no one restrained the soldiers, and the order naturally became more and more chaotic.

The tumultuous began to march at dawn, and now they have not gone out of a few miles. As for the 7th Brigade of the Japanese Army, he would have left An ** and went north alone to "recover" Dehui County, which was captured by the Anti-Japanese Union. I guess there's already a fight going on at this point, right? No small number of words

Xiqia can also endure a little hardship, and instead of taking a car, he rode a tall horse and marched with everyone in the rain. Seeing this chaotic marching scene, I only felt cold in my heart.

It didn't take long for Xi Qia to sigh softly for such an army...... Can you fight? Is there any hope for the Qing Dynasty? ”

Beside him, who was also marching on a war horse, was a Japanese soldier with a thin figure and big ears that were subtly popular. Wen Yan just smiled bitterly. This person's name is Tada Jun, and he is currently a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army and the top adviser of An **, and he is actually the emperor of Pu Yi here. This time, it was also the idea of Tada Jun to return the weapons to An ** and bring them to Jilin to fight. But Ann ** is so unbearable, but he never dreamed of it

"Xiqia-jun, fortunately, this time there is the seventh brigade of our imperial army to help in the battle, so the victory is certain. As for Ann **...... I'll just tidy it up in the future. ”

Xiqia just smiled bitterly, fortunately, there was an imperial army to help in the battle this time, otherwise I would really not dare to bring such soldiers out, alas...... I didn't expect that these people were even more unbearable than when they were in the Northeast Army, and they couldn't be rectified? It's hard to re-recruit and train, just like the training of Yuan Gongbao Station back then...... The newly recruited soldiers don't have so many bad habits, so they should be able to train them. ”

Tada Jun glanced at Xi Qia, who was crackling with wishful thinking, and a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth. An army without a sense of honor, a sense of responsibility, and an object of allegiance, training is a showmanship. But what the empire needs, isn't it such a showmanship?

When the An** was marching in Xiqia, on the far top of the mountain, an eight-fold military telescope produced by Zeiss China was staring at their team.

The person holding the binoculars was lying on his stomach, and the other was half-kneeling. On such a cold day, such a heavy rain, the two of them did not move at all. Especially the kneeling person, leaning forward slightly, covering the falling raindrops, holding a pen and paper in his hand to record.

"The marching procession, about five kilometers long."

"The number of people, about 20,000."

"Weapons, armed with rifles, machine guns, mortars, no artillery."

"Formation, marching columns, with a small number of cavalry on the flanks on guard, take a sequential marching sequence......"

"The direction of progress, two six-zero north-east, and the speed of travel is presumed to be about one hour and two kilometers"

After a series of data reports, the half-kneeling man hurriedly stuffed the records into his purse and ran down the hill in a puff of smoke. At this time, in the valley not far below the hill, a team of about two thousand people had gathered, but compared to this group of An **, who was marching slowly, their military appearance was much stricter. The sentry has been released, and there are also fire guard posts on the high ground everywhere. Although it was only a temporary camp, the shacks for the horses to recuperate had been erected, and some people were loosening the horses' belly belts, wiping the horses' backs, checking the horses' hooves, and replenishing the horses' feed in accordance with the regulations.

Those who did not have a task were neatly sheltered from the rain in makeshift tents according to the troop formation, and their rifles and machine guns were also held in their arms, maintaining a state of readiness for battle at any time. The officers stood at the front of their respective ranks, all in a posture of readiness.

The scout flew the intelligence to the makeshift headquarters, but it was just a tent. Inside the tent, a tall, soldier-like major general, with a tight black face, was studying the map. He is the brigade commander Shen Xingye of the Second Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Graduated from the second phase of the Huangpu Cavalry Department, and he is also an old man who followed Wang Zhongyi to the Northeast to create a foundation. There were several young staff officers around him, and one of them took the record book and glanced at it, and first excitedly shouted the brigade seat, 20,000 An ** There are no Japanese and no artillery. That's a big fish."

Although Wang Zhongyi's 40,000-strong army was elite, it only fought a few battles to pacify Mongolia, and naturally there was no chance of meritorious service. This time, when the eastward march against Japan, the senior officers floating above may not be enthusiastic, but the lower ones have long been gearing up and looking forward to the war

Shen Xingye took the record book and hurriedly glanced at it, and smiled faintly These guys are also walking slowly, and they have been waiting for them for two days. Send a telegram to Commander Tang and tell him that the target is already in his pocket. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the tent was eager to try it out, and their faces were solemn. This kind of opportunity, the big guys have been looking forward to it for a long time

Shen Yexing nodded slightly to this group of young staff officers with a straight face, but the tone of his voice was cold, and he ordered him to go down, finish eating at five o'clock, and make all preparations for battle at half past five, tonight's night attack This battle is the first battle since the start of our Anti-Japanese War, and we must fight it well."

……

Boom Boom Boom ......

The Japanese artillery shells blew up deep and shallow craters on the forward positions of the Anti-Japanese Union outside Dehui County. In a few crooked trenches, there were officers and soldiers in blue-gray military uniforms huddled, and everyone had some trepidation on their faces. It's no wonder that almost all of them were bombarded for the first time today, but the long-term rigorous training still played a role, and now everyone was already prostrate in the most standard posture in the stagnant water at the bottom of the trench, not moving.

Lin Yurong, also known as Lin B in history, is now standing on the city wall of Dehui County behind them, holding a telescope and watching the battle from afar. This is the first time in his life that he has commanded a large army to fight, and if he is defeated, it will probably be the last

Fortunately, Wang Zhongyi valued him very much as a general, and equipped him with quite a strong force, which was composed of two super-large cavalry divisions, each of which was improvised by four cavalry brigades, with a total strength of about 20,000 and 48 cavalry guns of 75 mm caliber. With such strength, winning the battle was only expected, but Lin Yurong was unwilling to fight a peaceful and stable defeat battle, what he wanted was to annihilate the Japanese Seventh Brigade in a war of annihilation, and by the way, he would clean up Xiqia's 20,000 puppet army. So he arranged to get out of the way and occupy the pocket formation of the two compartments. One division was held in Dehui County to attract the Japanese Seventh Brigade, and the other division was commanded by Tang Yao to set up an ambush in the middle...... Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the fatigue of the Japanese army to hit him in the abdomen and back, but I didn't expect the Japanese army to throw off An ** and march alone, and the 20,000 people who were stunned to fight with 7,000 people were really arrogant to the extreme

However, the skills of these devils in fighting still do not seem to be good, and the smoke of artillery fire has not yet dissipated, and the earthy yellow Japanese brigade is pouring upward. These guys looked much more powerful than the Mongolian People's Party's army, and their military quality was excellent, and the formation of the charge was maintained extremely reasonably. Moreover, the coordination of infantry and artillery has reached the point of perfection, and the machine guns on the anti-coalition positions can not fire twenty or thirty rounds before they can attract mortar and grenadier fire. What shocked Lin Yurong even more was that the opponent's 12 75-mm mountain artillery guns were able to fight with the 48 75-mm cavalry guns, and the accuracy of the Japanese artillery far exceeded that of the anti-United Nations artillery

This battle has not stopped from fighting until dusk. The Japanese Seventh Brigade rushed into the position under the city of Dehui County several times, and fought with the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Union with bayonets, if it were not for the absolute superiority of the Anti-United Nations in terms of numbers and artillery, this position would have collapsed long ago, and every time the Japanese army rushed into the position, Lin Yurong ordered the artillery to fire, blocking the Japanese follow-up troops, and at the same time immediately put in the reserve reinforcements, only in this way can the position not be lost. Although each attack was repulsed, the Japanese still roared and launched a new round of onslaught, and fought as many as thirteen attacks in a whole day.

Seeing that another round of Japanese attacks was repulsed, Lin Yurong shook his head lightly, these Japanese devils are really hard stubble, "He looked back at a lieutenant colonel who was the same age as him and was wearing a Kuomintang military uniform, and asked Tianmin, the devils you met in Shandong are also so powerful?" ”

This person turned out to be Ren Tianmin, who commanded the troops to fight an ambush with Sun Liren in the Shandong Campaign, and he also graduated from the fourth phase of Huangpu, and Lin Yurong was a classmate, but he was born as an engineer. This time, together with Sun Liren, they were sent to the northeast to organize the 25th and 26th divisions (although Wang Zhongyi gave the name of the army, it was still a division in the National ** Army, but there were only three brigades).

Ren Tianmin touched his chin, these devils are also powerful? It's just a decent thing, and the military quality is naturally not, but when it comes to the spirit of hard work, this fourth division is the last in the Japanese army. Wait for the trump cards of the second division and the sixth division that we encounter in the future, and you will be done. ”

His tone gradually became a little solemn, and we are now cut off behind enemy lines, struggling to support half of Manchuria...... Never die...... But in the south, the two parties of the country and G, what is he doing? Why must they divide one another? Can't we unite to resist Japan like we do? The two parties are only calculating with each other, and they obviously have the strength to defeat Japan, but they have to keep it to deal with people."

Lin Yurong replied coldly, because only if you win can you have the last laugh"

……

The torrential rain was like weaving, and among the dense dark clouds in the sky were thunder and lightning, and in the place where the line of sight was almost out of sight, there were several dragons hanging, falling straight down from the sky.

The security of the brigade was camped on both sides of the muddy road. The camp was in shambles, with carts, weapons, supplies, uniforms, ammunition...... All of them were not placed in accordance with the rules and regulations. There were no trenches on the periphery of the camp, and even the soldiers standing guard were swearing, and their eyes did not look into the distance, but in the direction of the field kitchen in the camp.

An **20,000 troops camped in the wilderness in this way, and almost all of them were depressed, without a fight. The morale that was already low was even lower than that, maybe everyone was waiting for a chance to escape, and even the two thousand White Russian elites who went north to guard Xiqia seemed to be infected, except for a very small number of Japanese military advisers, they also straightened their waists, and their faces were blue and scolding.

Xi Qia rode around the barracks, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, the cloak he was wearing was all soaked, and his own soldiers were still dutifully guarding him. At this time, although Xi Qia had already vaguely felt ominous, he would never have dreamed that less than three kilometers away from him, a silent army had been waiting in the rain for a long time

The wilderness was full of infantry, each wearing a thick raincoat with a hood. Squatting silently in the rain. Everyone was holding a Min XIII rifle with a muzzle cap on it, just waiting for the officer's order. From time to time, a messenger on horseback passed by, splashing muddy water through the rain and fog, and passing on one password after another.

"Pack light. Packed"

"Check the ammunition, check the bayonet...... In addition to bullets and bayonets, all equipment, all lightly armed, and the luggage brigade was concentrated"

"The officers of the companies are out of line, ready to receive orders"

In the midst of the commands, all the soldiers gave one password and one action, and stood by lightly. The officers' eyes were all in the distance, and in the rain curtain, only a few faint figures could be seen there holding binoculars to observe.

"Yizhi, how are your troops ready? Cavalry is still used to dismounting and fighting, right? It's not a lot of words, but it's a scuffle later."

It was Tang Yao, and tonight's raid was the first battle of his First Division of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Although the opponent looks weak, he is still very cautious, and Wang Zhongyi has already issued a strict order that he must win the first fight

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was Shen Xingye, the commander of the First Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Federation, who heard Tang Yao's question, and Yizhi was his name. The first of this night's assault was his 1st Brigade, which was originally a cavalry brigade in Mongolia and is now used as infantry. At this time, he straightened his waist, and his face did not move at all, this so-called An ** is not an opponent at all, there is no fighting spirit up and down, and there is no artillery. And we are strong and strong and we are a surprise attack on a rainy night, I am afraid that our first brigade will break up with a surprise attack of 20,000 enemies, and the troops will wait to capture the prisoners. ”

Tang Yao smiled and nodded, Yizhi, we are surrounded by enemies, but not just these vulnerable An ** in front of us, but fighting with various enemies at the same time, so there is no room for a little mistake. Alright, almost, let's get started"

Shen Xingye pulled the corners of his mouth silently, raised his right hand high, and waved it vigorously in the air, and the covering branches on a flat ground not far behind him were suddenly lifted, revealing forty-eight 75-mm cavalry guns in a neat row.

All the firing elements have long been marked, and the shells have been pushed into the chamber. With the pull of the arquebus, the forty-eight cannons shook violently, spitting out a large cloud of white smoke and fire, and the campsite opposite An ** suddenly rose up with puffs of mud and dust

"Release, Release"

One shell after another loaded into the chamber and then spat out, sending smoke and shrapnel flying across the camp on the opposite side

In the sound of cannons, Shen Xingye had already ripped off his raincoat and strode in front of the team. This future No. 1 general of the Anti-United Nations has some patience and wants to charge

The officers gave the order loudly, and the soldiers stood up with a bang. Shen Xingye jumped onto a table that didn't come from nowhere. The rain hit his black face, and he pointed to the opposite side, we traveled thousands of miles from Mongolia to the northeast, and it was the Japanese who came to fight the 9.18 incident to create the 9.18 incident, and if we want to destroy us, China, we will have no way out if we don't fight, and if we don't fight, we will lose the country, we must be hard-headed, and we should not be slaves to defeat little Japan, and create a new situation in the northeast."

“…… The 1st Brigade of the Anti-Union, Attack"

……

The overwhelming artillery fire blew up An**'s campsite to pieces.

This sudden firepower blow suddenly beat the demoralized An ** to the point that the sky was dark. Shrapnel whistled and flew in all directions, cutting down the officers and soldiers who had nowhere to hide, one by one, splashing their stumps with muddy water, and blowing up their rifles into parts. The dirt that was lifted up fell and hit the officers and soldiers who were already lying still, as if the sky had fallen.

However, it took a long time for the dense artillery fire to gradually thin out, and Xiqia lay in a quagmire for a while, as if he heard the soldiers shouting that Xiqia Commander is not good, and the anti-union fight"

He struggled to his feet out of the muddy water, staggered to his feet, and turned his head to look. I saw that in the rain that was grounded in the sky, there were faintly countless snow-bright bayonets, which were advancing like a mountain of knives, shining with a dazzling cold light and murderous aura

Is this anti-union? Haven't they been beaten to the ground by the Seventh Brigade of the Imperial Army? Running here all at once?

Before he could react, the 20,000 an** in the entire camp had already begun to collapse, in fact, as soon as the cannon rang out just now, most of them had already made up their minds to escape...... It's just that the overwhelming artillery fire temporarily blocked them.

"Run, run, run" The surrounding battlefield was filled with a huge shout like a tsunami, which swept through the entire wilderness and even overshadowed the dense gunfire of fried beans.

Xiqia's 20,000-strong army was attacked by the anti-coalition forces in the vicinity of Buhai Town, about 60 kilometers north of Changchun

To the north of them, the Japanese 7th Brigade was already in a desperate situation......
