162. Echelon blocking

"Liu Quanyu, when you heard that Shi Liancheng was blocking Ding Qiang in Dachengzi Town, your fifth brigade immediately dispatched to surround Ding Qiang! Remember, it's surrounded, not to say let you eat it! When you eat it, you must listen to my orders, and there must be no mistakes! ”

Bai Shujie said the "please enter the urn" Jihua that he had been pondering for three days and three nights in one breath, and then Zuihou asked, "Do you understand your respective tasks?" ”

Shi Liancheng said in a low voice: "For a job like this that specializes in defeating battles, you should send someone like Cui San'er. Is our special battalion a loser? Besides, I won't defeat the battle. ”

Cui San'er became angry when he heard it: "Shi Liancheng, what do you mean by this deflated calf thing?" Could it be that Lao Tzu will lose the battle? Tell me, when did Lao Tzu lose a battle? ”

"Shut the fuck up!" Bai Shujie slapped the table: "The Fifth Brigade has just been formed, and it has not yet been tempered by the Great War. The fighters are inexperienced and cannot grasp the balance at critical times. The special battalion of your garrison brigade should have something special about it, not only to be able to win battles, but also to learn to defeat battles! Your special battalion is all old fritters, and it is impossible for you to be stuck by the enemy and not be able to get out. ”

Han Qingfen cleared his throat: "Detachment leader, your guard company was handed over to Commander Zhao Jinxi to take away, and our garrison brigade was also sent out, and now there is only one guard platoon from the field hospital and the telecommunications department by your side." All the others are civilians, what about the security of the command? ”

"Yes, yes!" Yang Zhaodi also hurriedly said: "Is it better to leave a company and temporarily serve as a guard, so that we can rest assured when we leave." Otherwise, Gan Tong and Zhao Jinxi knew that we would leave, so they wouldn't have skinned me when the time came? ”

Bai Shujie waved his hand and said, "You are all on my periphery, and the enemies are all by your side, what does it have to do with me?" As long as you can entangle the enemy, how can they make it to the Overlord Cave? Since the enemy can't get in, what do you want the troops to do? What is there to worry about my safety? You don't have to worry anymore. All six of you have a radio station to follow, and you can keep me informed of any situation. The security of me and the headquarters is based on your strict execution of orders and the victory of Zuihou! Dismissal, let's go! ”

In the early morning of March 12, 1933, the Chifeng Garrison Command Hou Zide sent a telegram: "Northwest of Chifeng, the 26th Wing of the Motegi Brigade has used two squadrons of cavalry to attack for two consecutive days. There were three battles with the 1st Cavalry Battalion of the Separate Brigade, but Zuihou retreated on his own initiative. A squadron of cavalry of the 25th Wing, and Manchurian. There were two clashes with the second battalion of the separate brigade, and Zuihou also retreated. Liu Guitang's department has already arrived at the front line of Jinchanggou. ”

Three battles, all of which took the initiative to retreat?

Bai Shujie looked at the telegram and wondered in his heart: the old devil Motegi did not go south as originally planned, let alone launch a full-scale attack. What do you want to do now? Are you going to grind foreign workers? This is not the usual style of dwarfs!

Liu Guitang's 10,000 guerrillas who protect the country have arrived at the front line of Jinchanggou, and they are moving very quickly!

The fourth cavalry battalion of the first brigade, Jiang Chengze, the battalion commander, sent a report on the enemy situation: "Detachment leader: More than 5,000 people of Jin Bihui's Dingguo Army have marched west along the railway and have assembled in Mutouchengzi, all of them are cavalry. At present, the movements are unknown, and the operational intentions are unknown. ”

Bai Shujie pondered again, and then sent two telegrams respectively:

"Chifeng Garrison Headquarters: Warning Manmeng. The commanders and fighters of the independent brigade shall hold the defensive ground tightly and shall not attack without authorization. The 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Brigade of Cavalry was under the command of Jinghui, and immediately moved south from Wangta Town, delayed the enemy on the front line of Luofugou for three days, and then guided the enemy to turn to the pot camp. ”

"Jiang Chengze: Closely monitor the movements of Jin Bihui's department, and report any new trends immediately, and there must be no mistakes. Remember: don't strike on your own! ”

At seven o'clock in the morning of March 12, 1933, Liu Quanyu sent a telegram that the Fifth Brigade had all arrived at the designated area and was on standby in accordance with the predetermined plan.

At half past nine in the morning, Shi Liancheng sent a telegram: "Detachment leader: The special battalion has arrived about ten miles east of Jianping and is currently building fortifications. According to the results of the investigation, about 2,000 people in Ding Qiang's department have already set off from Sijiazi, and it is expected that there will be an exchange of fire at about half past ten. According to the plan, the special battalion will block Ding Qiang's headquarters here for about three hours, and then withdraw from the battle in echelons. ”

Bai Shujie's reply was very simple: "Be flexible and mobile, and confuse the real with the fake!" ”

Although the telegram was simple, Bai Shujie's heart was not calm. He replied to Shi Liancheng in eight words, that is, he didn't want to interfere with Shi Liancheng's decision-making. After all, Shi Liancheng is on the front line, and only the first-line people have a detailed understanding of the specific situation.

However, it is still unknown whether the next battle will go according to his own vision. It's impossible to say not worried.

The Art of War: "Soldiers, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must not be ignored." ”

Bai Shujie hopes that he will try to take everything into account and try not to have accidents as much as possible, which will cause unnecessary sacrifices. Because of this, he was restless.

Press Bai Shujie in the headquarters to be worried and not mention it for the time being.

It is said that Shi Liancheng came out of the headquarters to attend the meeting and rushed to the first camp of the special battalion. Then as soon as I communicated with Chen Jieluo, I prepared five days of dry food, and urgently gathered and pulled out. After a night of rapid marching, they penetrated directly from the southeast of the original Fifth Brigade station, and finally arrived at Zhangjiaying at six o'clock in the morning.

In the north of March in early March, the winter snow has not yet melted, and the freeze has not yet been lifted. Because of this, the Lao Ha River did not become an obstacle for them. In order to restore the strength of the warriors, Shi Liancheng ordered to rest in place for two hours, and then use one and a half hours to reach their destination.

Shi Liancheng and Chen Jie rushed to the front line of the Lin family with more than 700 people from the special battalion of the garrison brigade, and found that this was just some barren slopes with potholes. Now covered in snow, it is not very difficult to build a very standard fortification.

There are no mountains, no trees, no stones.

"Deputy Captain, what do you think should be done?" Chen Jie stared at Shi Liancheng with slanted eyes: "What do you think about building fortifications?" ”

"If you die, it's more reliable to call me Liancheng!" Shi Liancheng looked around, and then continued: "The detachment leader has explained that he must teach Ding Qiang, the eighth calf, a good lesson, but he can't beat him too hard. Therefore, my point of view is to launch a cascade defensive block with a large depth and a small width. ”

"Don't talk about these useless things, how to build the fortifications is the current problem!" Chen Jie skimmed and said: "The detachment commander has told us these things hundreds of times in the past few years, starting from the special squad, special platoon, and special company, and has been talking about the current special battalion. You give me some dry goods, who made you the deputy captain now, and I am a small battalion commander! ”

"Fortifications are simple, because what we need is mobile defense, and there is no need to make permanent fortifications." Shi Liancheng was already confident, so he smiled and said: "I'll let you have a long experience today, weishenme I will be the deputy captain, and you kid can only be the battalion commander!" Haha! ”

"A company commander leads a platoon!" Shi Liancheng turned around and called the first company commander and the first platoon commander over: "Your platoon will block as the first round." Two squads rushed forward, two squads dragged back thirty meters to protect two flanks, and the defense width of eight light machine guns was three hundred meters. ”

"The first line of defense blocked for half an hour, and when it came time to retreat, the two squads that stood out withdrew first, and the two squads that served as cover flanks withdrew alternately. As for the fortifications, the snow was shoveled up and piled up into a snow wall, and then sapped with sapper shovels, which was much harder than dirt! ”

"The second platoon followed the same method three hundred meters behind the first platoon, and at the same time built a second line of defense, both to cover the retreat of the first platoon and to serve as a second strike against the enemy. After the first platoon withdrew, improvised fortifications were built 300 meters behind the second platoon to cover the second platoon's withdrawal. Then leave a squad to drag behind, the main purpose is to attract the enemy and not let the enemy lose his direction. After three kilometers of withdrawal, wait for the next order. ”

Chen Jie stood silent, with a weird smile on his face.

Shi Liancheng: "Hey, what are you kid laughing at, why do I feel creepy?" ”

Chen Jie couldn't hold back any longer, and finally laughed: "What I mean is that if you help command, I will be much easier, and I don't even need to say a word of nonsense." Haha! ”

"Hmph, I just did my duty, indicating that I have been here." Shi Liancheng smiled and said, "Are you a fool to be Lao Tzu?" Now, Lao Tzu's task is accomplished. Qin Mingyuan, deputy battalion commander, take the second and third companies with me, and I'll take you to the scenery! This is left to your Battalion Commander Chen. When the time comes, Ding Qiang's deflated calf will not come, and Lao Tzu will have something to say to the detachment leader, hehe! ”

Only then did Chen Jie know that Shi Liancheng had dug a pit for himself: "Isn't it, you handed over Ding Qiang's 2,000 people to me for a company?" ”

"What's wrong with a company? 189 people, plus you are 190 people! Shi Liancheng sneered: "Detachment Leader, there were only eight of them around Captain Zhang Xiang back then, and they didn't kill six squadrons of little devils one after another. That's how you broke out of the rain of bullets and made a world, and then there was the day when your kid became the battalion commander! ”

"You're fucking right in front of me, didn't you follow the detachment two years before me?" Chen Jie couldn't say anything about Shi Liancheng, because Shi Liancheng was the first guard of the detachment leader.

The two of them started to partner in Daqingshan, and they were brothers in life and death who were killed all the way in a bloody and bloody manner. It's a pity that another brother, Liu Zhenshan, died in the bloody battle of Jiangqiao.

Bai Shujie has been in the league for seven years, and the iron-blooded generals around him are "Eight Horses, Four Heroes, and Thirty-six Tiangang". The four heroes are the "four young heroes", and now there are only three people left: Shi Liancheng, Chen Jie, and Cui San'er. Therefore, the three brothers cherish this friendship even more.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
