Li Mingfeng and Xiao Yongzhi heard that Guo Bingxun had opened his mouth to see off the guests. 【. com text] dare not delay. He immediately rushed back to the unit to receive the additional troops, and organized a regiment as quickly as possible, plus a mountain artillery battalion of the brigade artillery regiment, a 100-millimeter howitzer company, and a heavy mortar battalion reinforced by the headquarters.

Hurried to the west bank of the Guowei River, before he had time to catch his breath and check the terrain and build fortifications. Li Mingfeng received a report from the reconnaissance unit: "A large number of Japanese troops on the east bank of the Guozhu River are now preparing to cross the river, and a squadron of its vanguard has crossed the river and built a covering position. ”

This time he went south, Li Mingfeng was very cautious. He transferred one of his most effective reconnaissance staff officers and the oldest company commander in the unit, and took a vanguard company, which was mainly a veteran, to advance lightly. The main force behind them is separated from them by the range of the maximum communication distance of the two-watt walkie-talkie in their hands.

Before leaving, Li Mingfeng specially told the company commander to be cautious and put a sharp soldier composed of experienced veterans in front of him. When encountering an enemy situation, it is not allowed to open fire, and the situation must be reported as soon as possible. Li Mingfeng had no way to do this, and the reconnaissance companies of the three regiments only brought half of the company, and the rest were left to the first brigade. Lacking reconnaissance strength at hand, he could only temporarily transfer a front-line combat company.

However, it was Li Mingfeng's caution that allowed the vanguard to appear in the traces of the Japanese army. Otherwise, if they are detected by the Japanese army before they approach the enemy, I am afraid that in the current situation, it will be very unfavorable to them. Although the Guowei River is the main tributary of the Muling River, it is not a big river after all, especially because the flood season has not yet arrived, and the amount of water is not large.

When the water is shallow, there are many places where you can even wade. Once the Japanese army has arrived now, it is very likely that they will forcibly cross the river. This was not a good thing for the troops led by Li Mingfeng, who had marched south from Boli County and were now extremely exhausted, and had not even had time to build even the most basic field fortifications.

Hearing that the Japanese army had arrived at the front line of the Guowei River and began to cross the river overnight, Li Mingfeng was slightly taken aback: "Isn't the Japanese army still on the front line of the Diaolong River?" How could he rush to the front line of the pot helmet a day earlier than the headquarters intelligence? This little devil came really quickly, thanks to his own first step, if he acted according to the plan, by the time the troops were all reorganized and moved south, the Japanese army would probably have already crossed the river. ”

"Once the little devil crosses the river in advance and crosses the river in full, then he will really be passive. From the Guohel River to the Sifang Dingzi Mountain, the door is almost wide open. If this little devil takes advantage of the fact that we have not yet gone south and crosses the river first, it will be really lively. Fortunately, I kept an extra eye. ”

After handing over to the communications staff officer, he immediately reported the situation to the headquarters and told his subordinates to make preparations for battle, and Li Mingfeng immediately rushed to the bank of the Guowei River with Bai Qishan, the commander of the fourth regiment, to observe the enemy's situation.

When Li Mingfeng rushed to a small earthen bag more than 300 meters away from the west bank of the Guozhu River, raised his binoculars and looked at the dense torches and large piles of bonfires on both sides of the Guozhu River in the east, he was startled: "The little devil is really *** cunning, I'm afraid it's not just the main force of the 18th Wing who is here now." ”

After carefully observing for a while, I saw that the Japanese army had temporarily built hundreds of rafts and was hurriedly ferrying back and forth, and some Japanese soldiers were measuring the depth of the water and preparing to find out the shallow water area that could be crossed. An attempt was made to transport troops on the east bank of the river across the river as quickly as possible.

Li Mingfeng put down the binoculars in his hand and said to Bai Qishan beside him: "Old Bai, it seems that the devil also arrived with us before and after, and this has just begun to cross the river." The devil's trick is attacking the west, posing as if he is still on the front line of the Diaolong River, but the actual main force has rushed to the front line of the Guowei River, and the play is really beautiful. I even hid the number three. It seems that this Uemura Toshido is really a bit of a Taoist, and he is quite cunning. ”

"In this way, you should immediately inform the artillerymen, so that they can ignore the Japanese troops who have already landed on the west bank of the river, and concentrate their artillery fire on the east bank to hit me with half of the base. Let the heavy mortar battalion and the regimental artillery concentrate their fire on me to block the river and cut off the route for the Japanese to continue crossing the river.

"As for the west bank of the river, it's just a squadron of devils, so they don't have to worry about it. Just concentrate an anti-aircraft machine gun company, keep them in check, and don't let them go deeper. In addition, tell your troops, immediately unfurl, begin to build fortifications along the river, and prepare for battle. Remember, when constructing a blocking position, be sure to make use of natural barriers. ”

Speaking of which. Li Mingfeng couldn't help but say with some remorse: "If you know this, it's better to bring the 107th Rocket Artillery Battalion that the column belongs to." The devils are now in a mass of hedgehogs on the east coast, and it is the best time for this kind of artillery to wield fire. This time, we will bring twelve short-legged mountain guns and four 100-mm howitzers, which are a bit less powerful. ”

On this side of the river, Li Mingfeng seized the time to unfold and prepare for battle. On the other side of the river, Lieutenant General Uemura Toshimichi, the commander of the 29th Division, who personally commanded the 18th Wing on the North Road, was also urging the commander of the 18th Wing, Takano Naomitsu Osa, to hurry up and cross the river. He knew very well that the illusion he had left on the front line of Diao Long would be seen through sooner or later. Once the opponent feels wrong, it is you who is in danger of going south. I don't want to repeat the mistakes of Machijiri and Jiro Tokawa.

Lieutenant General Uemura Toshimichi spent most of his military career as a staff officer. From the staff officer of the division and regiment to the chief of staff of the lieutenant general of the Third Army, he is very shrewd. This time, the main force of the 29th Division poured eastward to rescue the 6th Division. He was not in a hurry to march, but fought steadily all the way.

After the 6th Division lost contact, instead of speeding up the march, it consciously slowed down. Even the army commander Shigeichi Harata ignored several urgings. No matter how the army headquarters urged, it was to go step by step, and it was absolutely not rash that the enemy would advance lightly, and it was not until they reached the front line of the Diaolong River that they left behind the baggage troops and a small number of engineers, disguised as the main force. He led the main force of the 18th Wing, broke the practice of not marching at night, and suddenly plunged into the Pot Helmet River with the degree of forced march. He just wanted to take advantage of the paralysis of his opponent's big victory.

He knew very well the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Division, and even if the opponent defeated the Sixth Division, the casualties would definitely not be light. Judging from the information transmitted by the army headquarters, the opponent's firepower is indeed strong, but there are not many additional troops. The current strength of troops should have been exhausted.

Moreover, judging from the enemy situation report transmitted by the army headquarters, they are currently concentrating their main forces to move west to find trouble with the 14th Division. And there are not many troops in the south of Boli at all. If the 29th Division takes the opportunity to break through its depth, it is likely to shake the opponent's front line if it is well fought.

Looking at the 18th Wing who was nervously crossing the river, Lieutenant General Uemura Toshimichi touched the neatly trimmed snot beard under his nose, and said to Takano Naomitsu Daisa, who was beside him: "After crossing the river in a hurry, don't stop, and immediately march northward." Before the early morning of tomorrow, it is necessary to rush to the sheep field and the first line of Hushan in Boli. ”

Regarding Uemura Toshimichi's order, Takano Naomitsu Osa was a little puzzled and said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, the sixth division was tense before, and you are not in a hurry or slow. Now that the Sixth Division has died down, why are you in a hurry? Aren't you afraid that you will go deep alone and suffer the losses of these cunning chinas? ”

"Judging from the enemy briefings forwarded by the army headquarters, these people are very cunning. And it is fully equipped and has a lot of firepower. We are now alone, and in the event of an ambush, the terrain here is coupled with the surrounding situation, and it is likely that we will suffer a loss. Even such elite generals as the Sixth Division have disappeared, does His Excellency the Division Commander think that the combat effectiveness of the newly formed 29th Division is even stronger than that of the Sixth Division? ”

"Is it the Eighth Division that can't stand up in battle? Or is it the 11th Division, which has now attacked from east to west? Or is it the 14th Division, which is now difficult to protect itself? The Eighth Division inexplicably lost its combat effectiveness, and what exactly it encountered has not yet been clarified. The 11th Division has been transferred to the Tieshanbao line. ”

"In addition to these divisions and regiments, what other troops can take the current Fifth Army? We are in this battle, even the border guards have been withdrawn, we are in a deep siege, who else can come to rescue us? ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I ask you to be cautious. How many pieces of useful information have we received since the battle? From the headquarters of the Kwantung Army to the Fifth Army, it has not been figured out how many troops the other side has. What exactly is the configuration of firepower, it is still confused. The main forces of the other side were all transferred westward to besiege the 14th Division? Hmph, you can't believe it unbelieving, you can't believe it all. ”

For Takano Naomitsu Osa, who did not engage in the battle and said defeat, Uemura Toshido did not have the fire he imagined, but said lightly: "Takano-kun, saying this kind of words without the spirit of bushido is not your usual style. Could it be that the 29th Division is worse than his 6th Division? ”

"The Sixth Division has always been known for its tenacity in the Imperial Army, and there is nothing wrong with that. But the 29th Division is not a soft-footed crab like those Osaka soldiers. Remember, the Imperial Army is the most combat-ready of all armies in the world, the most fearless of death, and the one who dares to sacrifice his life for the Emperor. No matter which division or regiment it is, but there are no weak brigades in the imperial army. ”

"The defeat of Lieutenant General Machijiri is not because the opponent's combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the imperial ** team. It's because of our intelligence mistakes and problems with high-level command. There is also a certain reason why he himself is too light on the enemy and concentrates his forces too much on the front line. As a result, the 6th Division had already been killed and wounded by the opponent more than half before engaging the battle. ”

"And we're different. The 6th Division is the strongest soldier of our Imperial Army, and its tenacious will to fight is unsurpassed in the 6th Army of the Empire. Although they were completely annihilated, the opponent's casualty numbers were probably not as small as theirs. Now they are sleepy and have suffered heavy losses. ”

"Our 29th Division, on the other hand, adopted the tactics of virtual and real reality, taking advantage of the weakest moment at the moment, to penetrate its depth with its main force and completely disrupt their deployment. Regardless of whether it is true that their main force is besieging the 14th Division, as long as we are inserted into the line of Dingzi Mountain in the four directions, we can meet the 14th Division at any time to the west, and we can join the 11th Division to the east to flank their forces on the eastern front. ”

"When the time comes, the initiative of the entire campaign will fall into our hands. I see that they who have suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles have the strength to eat us like they did the Sixth Division. This is also the greatest contribution made by Machijiri-kun, who lost this battle, to this battle. ”
