The fourth regiment commander, Pan Chengye, tossed all night and didn't sleep for two hours. At eight o'clock last night, he took the seventh and eighth regiments to Wenguantun at nine o'clock, which was the first place for the revival army to stay. Not long after he arranged the guard and went to bed, he was woken up by a telegram, and the situation of the large-scale attack of the Japanese army suddenly made him sleepy, and he immediately issued an order to gather the troops, preparing to take the troops out of the camp overnight, and detour to the back of the Japanese army to attack at night, just when he was out of the camp with the whole team, the headquarters came with another telegram: "The Second Division has mutinied!" ”

This telegram made Pan Chengye gasp, and after repeatedly asking the translator to confirm it, he believed that it was true. He immediately ordered the battalions of the Fourth Regiment to be on alert, and at the same time ordered the machine gun team and mortar company to surround the Seventh and Eighth Regiments and prepare for a civil war. Where to shoot? ”

The adjutant outside the tent ran over and said, "It's not our side, it's Santaizi's side that has exchanged fire with the Japanese army." ”

Hearing that it was Santaizi's side, Pan Chengye listened carefully, it was indeed the gunfire on Santaizi's side, relieved at the same time he was worried about the safety of the main force, thinking of this, he said: "Why haven't the people of the seventh and eighth regiments come yet?" Notified? ”

"Noticed, their gang is different from us, and they will come in a while." The adjutant explained that he was very clear about the style of the Second Division, and that the headquarters wanted to rectify it in the past, but due to the intervention of the Russian army and the busyness of wartime, it has not been done.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Dong Dahu, the commander of the Seventh Regiment, came to the headquarters with several Chinese and Russian officers, and was about to ask the Eighth Regiment. There was a rapid gunfire outside, this time the gunfire was very close, and when I heard it, it was in the barracks, which made Pan Chengye's heart slammed, and his hand had already touched the holster, Dong Dahu was also startled, but he turned his head out of the house.

Pan Chengye saw that Dong Dahu's expression didn't look like a fake, and he thought that he had already arranged it outside, so he put down the hand that touched the gun, but he still had to try him. "Commander Dong, something happened to the big army, and Division Commander Zhang asked us to join the Japanese."

"Ahh Cast... Japanese?! Dong Dahu didn't look like he was awake, and there was still eye feces hanging from the corners of his eyes, and he was already very unhappy when he was called in the middle of the night. But when he woke up and heard the gunshots, he guessed that something was wrong, so he reluctantly got dressed. Together with a few battalion commanders who had been waiting for a long time, Omaozi came to the headquarters. I thought I was going to go out of the camp in the middle of the night to fight the little devils, but who knew that I would actually vote for the little devils.

"Why don't you just vote for little devils, haven't we been beating little devils?" Dong Dahu didn't understand what Pan Chengye meant at all.

It's good that he doesn't understand, Pan Chengyi's originally nervous heart relaxed, and he glanced at the adjutant at the door, signaling him to let the shotgunners outside the tent lift the first-level alert. Then he laughed and said, "I'm joking." However, Commander Dong didn't know that the Fifth and Sixth Regiments had already voted for the Japanese. ”

"Ahh What the hell is going on? Dong Dahu was completely confused. Before, the head of the Pan regiment said that it was a joke, but now he said that the fifth and sixth regiments have voted for the Japanese, what kind of play is this?

"Commander Dong, don't care what's going on, now the Japanese are attacking at night on the side of the large army, and we are going to help later, but now it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and we will still have to grieve Brother Dong later." After Pan Chengye finished speaking, several shotgunners suddenly broke in outside, and surrounded Dong Dahu's gang in unison.

"Ai, brother, this... What's going on?! "One moment I want to vote for the Japanese, the other time I want to fight the Japanese, and the next time I will be pointed at by a shotgun, Dong Dahu is a little insane, and several Russian officers next to him also stood up and shouted something.

Pan Chengye didn't care so much, and only said: "Commander Dong, brothers, now it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, the fifth and sixth regiments have already gone to the Japanese side, and I can't tell who is good and who is bad in the seventh and eighth regiments, so I can only wronged everyone." But after dawn, the truth will be revealed, and if I misunderstand you, then I will make amends like you. After Pan Chengye finished speaking, he said to the soldiers, "It's all tied up, take it away." ”

Hearing that there was no fear of his life, Dong Dahu and the others were relieved, they thought that their little life was going to be explained here. Since life is worry-free, then face is always to be begged, and several beards scolded in unison, "The surname is Pan, you dare to tie me up, and Lao Tzu will ......fight for you when he dies."

Pan Chengye was very irritable when he heard this, but after a while, these pretending fierce beards were brought down, and at this time, the news from the Eighth Regiment also came, and Pan Cheng's head looked at Lin Wenqian, the commander of the first battalion, and said, "How is the Eighth Regiment?" ”

Lin Wenqian, a native of Ruian, Zhejiang, and Pan Chengye are both students of the special class of Nanyang College, because they participated in the revolution because of excitement, but they didn't dare to shoot when they arrived at the military school, and then they fell seriously ill and almost died, and were later rescued by Yang Rui and the military doctor.

"Well, it's good to go down with a cannon. Those bastards still take the Russian Maozi as a baby, I don't care if those Russian Maozi live or die, they deserve to die. "The commander of the Eighth Regiment was bribed by the Japanese, and he wanted to make trouble in the middle of the night, but because he was temporarily transferred to the civilian official tun, he ruined the plan, and now he heard the exchange of fire on the side of Santaizi, and he wanted to start an incident here, who knew that he was surrounded by Lin Wenqian when he was still discussing internally, they wanted to take Russian Maozi as a hostage, but Lin Wenqian never bought the accounts of foreigners, he was one of the few students who opposed defecting to Japan and Russia, and ordered the artillery to shoot a rapid shot to give the rebels in the camp a result.

Pan Cheng'o looked at Lin Wenqian's indifferent appearance and was very funny, "You, your temperament is still so urgent, but it's easy to kill it, save trouble, and when the second battalion puts the seventh regiment in order, we will set off." ”

"Eight regiments don't bring it?"

"The Eighth Regiment can't be brought, in case the officers below have an opinion, and there is a rifle on the battlefield, then we will be miserable, and now we have to make sure that everything is safe. There is no problem with Dong Dahu of the Seventh Regiment, and it is estimated that there is no problem below, this regiment can go, but let them attack first. "Pan Chengye is meticulous in everything, and he has already thought of a plan.

At 4:15, half a battalion was left to garrison the stronghold and guard the outside of the 8th Regiment. The two whole battalions and the seventh regiment drawn out of the fourth regiment left Wenguantun, and their goal was to attack the first division of Santaizi from the north, although Wenguantun was due east and north of Santaizi, and it was 15 or 6 miles to go around the back of the Japanese army from here, but the time was less than an hour, so the whole army was in a hurry. Needless to say, the four regiments of the rapid march are not slow, and the seven regiments are not slow, and these peasants have been in the army for almost a year now, and they are very strong in eating and drinking, and running is naturally not a problem.

4:55 a.m. Pan Chengyi's troops finally went around to the north side of Sitaizi in the rear of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, and as soon as the order arrived, they fought behind the devils. Taking advantage of the gap before the attack, the troops were reorganized, and one soldier of the fourth regiment led two soldiers of the eighth regiment, so that they were in groups of three. One hundred groups in one column, two columns separated by fifty meters. Thirteen columns plus the first three assault columns, consisting exclusively of soldiers of the four regiments. There were 16 columns of 4,800 people, and in order to suppress and destroy the heavy fire points of the Japanese army, machine guns and mortars were also included in them, and the entire assault force was nearly 1 kilometer wide and 800 meters deep. This is actually the Soviet Union's man-wave tactics in World War II, concentrating several times or more than ten times the force to quickly attack the enemy's defensive positions. The endless wave charge will completely destroy its will to resist, not to mention the current Japanese army, even the German army, which has many machine guns, can do nothing about it.

Pan Chengye stood outside the tent and looked to the east. The strange darkness of the morning immediately dissipated, and was replaced by an incomparably brilliant morning glow, the clouds were very low, but they were dyed bright red as blood by the morning sun, and the bright red clouds covered the whole sky, and the red was incomparably fierce and strange.

"There is something strange in the sky, the morning glow is like blood, this is a bad omen!" Pan Chengye whispered, his voice was so thin that it was difficult for him to hear.

"Regiment commander, the second and third regiments on the side of the large army have entered the assault position, and the command has ordered us to start the battle." As soon as the adjutant received the telegram, he hurriedly came from the tent to report.

"How is the formation of the Eighth Regiment over there, and how long will it take?" Not every soldier can become the leader of the trio, many soldiers can charge, shoot accurately, but count, lead people but not very good, some even speak very unfavorably, Pan Chengye thought that he could quickly complete the formation, just like last year when he hit the Fushun coal mine to the miners formation, but the actual situation is not so, the battle is completely different from a simple march, there are many more things involved, and the tactics of the Soviet army basically do not pay attention to suddenness, Lao Maozi's great depth is completely hard to eat hard, there is no concealment at all.

"Regiment commander, it will take some time, our soldiers still need to read more books." The adjutants in the army are basically stalwarts in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang associations; they have not attended military schools, but most of them have read books, taught soldiers to read and write in peacetime, and are adjutants of military Chinese books in wartime.

"Ten minutes! I'll wait another ten minutes! After 10 minutes, we must reorganize the team, and I will remove whoever is in the way. "Time is victory, the sky is bright, Pan Chengye can not predict when the Japanese army will find themselves, once discovered, although they can still attack the Japanese position, and kill to the end until Santaizi, but their casualties will increase greatly. In Pan Chenggong's view, no matter whether the soldiers of the fourth regiment and the eighth regiment are Chinese, he wants to achieve the combat goal while minimizing casualties, and besides, although the skills of these soldiers are not strong, they are all obedient, and they have been on the battlefield, and their courage has also been trained, as long as they keep up with the training in the future, they are also first-class good soldiers.

The adjutant hurried away, but after a while a cavalry came galloping from outside the camp, and he ignored the obstruction of the soldiers outside the headquarters to get off the ground, but rushed in, and the soldiers around him immediately raised their guns to surround him. When the surrounding soldiers raised their guns at each other, the people on the horse raised their hands and shouted: "My own people! Own! In a blink of an eye, he saw Pan Chengye standing next to him, and said: "Commander Pan, I am Liu Dachun, from the cavalry battalion, and I am the person of the battalion commander Xiang." ”

Liu Dachun? Xiang Xiang's people? Pan Chengye seemed to remember, motioned to withdraw the gun left and right, and asked again, "What's so urgent?" ”

"There is a small devil over there in Wutaizi, and there are a lot of people."

"What?!"

"Many... How many people are there? "To the north of the three platforms are four platforms, and to the north of the four platforms are five platforms.

"At least one brigade."

"!"

"Herald...... The herald ...... "Pan Chengye was frightened, and quickly regained his calm, so that an extra brigade and regiment out of thin air made it impossible for the fourth regiment to surprise the attack, and the current plan was to set up a blocking position, and then quickly launch a surprise attack on the Japanese 1st Division.

Pan Chengyi's decision was fast, but the Japanese army moved faster, and before the heralds left the camp, gunfire came from the north. The alert troops arranged outside had already exchanged fire with the enemy's front, listening to the increasingly dense gunfire, Pan Chengye felt that the possibility of raiding the first division was gone, and once the main force attacked to the south, then the Japanese army would chase after the ass and beat it.

"The previous order is null and void, and now the southernmost three columns of commandos are ordered to detour back to the north from the south, and the remaining thirteen columns of the rear team will change into the front team and attack north." Pan Cheng gritted his teeth and had to give such an order, "And." Send a telegram to the headquarters to inform our department of the reason for changing the battle plan, and that the 1st Division of the Japanese can only wait until the incoming enemy is defeated. ”

It was not a brigade that came from Wutaizi, but the Ninth Division, which had only fought hard at the big bend bridge before. But as the Russian army ordered the contraction of the front, the Russian army also retreated. Gentaro Kodama believes that the Russian army has been shaken on all fronts. That is, the whole army of the Third Army was ordered to attack north of Mukden and outflank the rear of the Russian army. Under this order, the 1st and 7th Divisions attacked the independent army of Santaizi, and then wanted to occupy Wenguantun and Yulinbao to control the main road of the Russian army to break through to the north, while the 9th Division attacked the Hushitai railway station further north. It has the meaning of occupying it, and it also has the meaning of containing the Russian army there, so that it cannot go south to rescue the independent army. Originally, the 9th Division had nothing to do with the 1st and 7th Divisions, but it was a night attack before. The First Division was deceived and suffered great losses, so the Staff Headquarters of the Third Army immediately ordered the northernmost Ninth Division to transfer most of its troops to the south to support the First Division, in order to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Independent Army as much as possible, while the remaining small units still contained the Russian army in Hushitai.

The soldiers of the three battalions and one company in charge of the vigilance saw a large number of Japanese troops emerging from Wutaizi, and while firing warning shots, they seized the favorable terrain to block the advance of the Japanese army. In the concept of the Japanese army, the independent army was surrounded in Santaizi, while the other enemy troops there were on the east side of the Hushitai Railway Station and the Dongqing Railway, and the staff officers of the division and regiment were very surprised that the Fourth Regiment rashly appeared between Sitaizi and Wutaizi.

"What kind of troops is this?" The divisional staff officer Harukiyo Inoguchi asked the officers of the 7th Wing who had come to report the enemy's situation, and the staff headquarters did not understand the Japanese troops who had emerged there.

"I don't know, but it doesn't look like Lucia's army, it's from the Qing Kingdom?"

"Qing people?"

"Yes, it's Qing people. There were about 5,000 people. "The headquarters of the Fourth Regiment was on the outskirts of Zhuangzi, and there was no shelter on the plain, and the number of people was clearly seen by the Japanese army in the distance.

"Five thousand? Aga......"

"It should be the remnants of the Independent Army, detouring from the east to the rear of the 1st Division in the middle of the night, presumably preparing to assault the 1st Division." Without the support of intelligence, the Japanese staff officers only made up their brains, and although they were not completely right, their strategic intentions were guessed correctly. The enemy's intentions are clear, and all that is to do is to destroy it. The principle was established, and the entire Ninth Division was mobilized and prepared to defeat the enemy in front of them.

By the time the Ninth Division pressed on all fronts, the difficult formation and turning of the Fourth Regiment had also been completed, and the two units that had suddenly met would fight a battle of attack after attack on the plains.

Following the team leader sent by the first division, Dong Xiaoer, the big head soldier of the seventh regiment, was confused, he didn't understand why so many people lined up in such a tight formation, which was different from what the big nose taught before, but after a while, the squad leader's words made him understand, and when they were rushed, they all had to disperse, he and the soldiers of the other eighth regiment were scattered between the two team leaders in front and behind, and the four people were a small diamond-shaped formation, he just had to stare at the team leader in front of him, and he would do whatever the team leader in front did. However, the squad leader's last words surprised him, and the squad leader finally said: "If anyone does not rush, or dares to retreat, then the bayonet of the group leader behind will come up." Dong Xiaoer, who said this, was cold, and turned his head to look at the bayonet of the team leader behind him, and there was an indescribable chill.

Listening to the sound of artillery in front, the entire phalanx in the military horn began to move forward rapidly, passing a period of ups and downs of the cemetery, the whole phalanx ran up quickly under the drive of the assault column in front, constantly someone was shot and fell, and people were constantly blown up by the shells, Dong Xiaoer didn't care about anything, just followed the team leader in front as the squad leader said before, scattered and ran forward, he was worried that once he stopped, the bayonet of the group leader behind him would be stabbed over, he didn't want to die, especially he didn't want to be stabbed to death by the bayonet.

The battle formation of the four regiments broke through to the Japanese troops in the north, and the Japanese soldiers also rushed towards the four regiments with bayonets and shouting, but compared to the four regiments in sixteen columns, their ranks were relatively wide after all, so the thickness was relatively thin. After being bombarded with machine guns, shotguns, and grenades, and then encountering the seemingly endless waves of people from the four regiments, the Japanese troops in front of the phalanx were completely swallowed up by the four regiments.

Bypassing the bayonet formation of the confrontation between the two armies, Dong Xiaoer has been following the group leader in front for more than ten meters, rushing towards a Zhuangzi, and in the "bang... Bang... Bang ......", the leader in front of him lay down and he also lay down, the leader in front crawled and he crawled, with a few cannon sounds, the machine gun that kept firing on the opposite side was accounted for, the team leader in front got up and shouted and rushed to Zhuangzi, he also got up from the ground in a daze, and then opened his mouth wide, shouting and rushing towards Zhuangzi, not realizing that the bayonet behind him had disappeared. (To be continued......)
