228. Emergency transfer
Bai Shujie didn't know the mentality of the fighters, but he understood a truth. That is, when the battle is in a stalemate, even if a person suddenly appears in another direction, it is possible to turn the situation on the battlefield! Because of this, he asked Zhao Sanbao to lead 11 soldiers to set off quickly.
Because of this temporary measure, Zhao Sanbao just appeared at the most tense and critical moment, appeared in the most critical place, and became a straw that overwhelmed the camel, and the little devil knew that the general trend had gone! If you give them another two or three seconds, it's just three seconds! It would have been possible to storm the machine-gun position, and the result would have been completely different!
However, it won't be given to them in two or three seconds, Zhao Sanbao's three machine guns have already approached and fired, making the charging little devil unbearable, and finally completely collapsed! More than a dozen little devils gave up and continued to charge, turned around and hugged the team leader, and turned around and fled into the dense forest next to him.
"Can't let the little devil run away, all the machine guns are fired, kill-"
Zhao Sanbao turned the muzzle of the gun and chased it in the direction where the little devil fled, and the machine gun in his hand kept firing. The fighters in the machine-gun position also rushed out, and dozens of light machine guns also fired wildly at the dense forest in front.
It's not that the fighters are crazy, it's a necessary tactical move!
In this round of crazy strafing, they didn't think about how many people they were going to kill, but they were seeing off the little devils! Now that I can't see my fingers, and I am in the dense forest, who dares to really chase it in, isn't that looking for death?
However, the little devil must not be allowed to stay within the effective range. Otherwise, the little devil hides in the dark and shoots the black gun, which is impossible to prevent!
All the light machine guns fired two bullets in a row, and nearly 2,000 rounds of bullets were fired, which immediately swept away the trees and grass within 400 meters below the mountain beam, and even the branches of the trees 600 meters away were also broken!
When Bai Shujie led the follow-up convoy to arrive, it was already an hour later. After the 6 infantry guns and 6 mountain guns had been disassembled, they were hoisted down with ropes from the main peak. The battlefield has also been simply cleaned, boxes of bullets have been piled together, and some messy things have not been cleaned up.
Bai Shujie didn't care about these, because he had already seen the soldiers lying in a row on the ground, all for the sake of Zuihou's victory, and he didn't hesitate to pay for his life!
Bai Shujie didn't speak, Xiao Lamei and Wang Xinlan didn't speak, they squatted on the ground, silently tidying up the appearance of each martyr.
In this small battle, the squad lost 13 people. Except for the three warriors who were accidentally injured by shrapnel from their own grenades because they were too close, they also retained their intact faces. The other four fighters, all shot in the face or chest, were unrecognizable beyond recognition. There are also six fighters, who were killed by the mortar of the little devils, and their bodies are incomplete.
"Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why bother to return the body of the horse leather!" Bai Shujie said in a deep voice: "Let these brothers sleep forever in this place where they fought, and protect this mountain and this water forever!" ”
At three o'clock in the morning, after completing the burial ceremony of the martyrs, Bai Shujie issued an order for emergency transfer.
This place is less than sixty kilometers away from Andong (now Dandong City) and even closer to Liujiahe. Although now the little devil may not have gotten the news yet. But the little devil who escaped will definitely be able to reach Liujiahe before dawn, and it will be difficult to say by then.
Now the machine gun squads and artillery squads of the little devils have been annihilated, the gendarmerie detachments have been scattered, and the original retreat route is no longer applicable. Bai Shujie immediately ordered the car to turn around and return to Fengcheng, go around from the south, and strive to cross the grass river before dawn and enter the deep mountains northeast of Fengcheng.
There were a total of 18 mules in the nine carts, and now they untied the nine horses carrying the spoils of Phoenix Mountain, and then quickly left the battlefield.
Fortunately, in this era, the population is relatively small, and the little devils harm people everywhere, so no one wanders outside in the middle of the night. At six o'clock in the morning of the next day, Bai Shujie and the others had already crossed the Grass River and entered the mountains, which were more than 20 kilometers away from Fengcheng.
Everyone was exhausted, especially Wei Chong and the others, who had not rested for three consecutive days, experienced a life-and-death battle, and could no longer walk.
Bai Shujie naturally knew the current situation, so he issued an order to stop advancing and rest on the spot: "Erwa, hurry up and take out the dry food and water." Let's just eat something here and rest before leaving. Lamei, you and Xinlan take care of it, and I'll take a look around. ”
Xiao Lamei asked vigilantly, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm not doing anything, I'm just trying to find a place to hide these cannons." Bai Shujie shook his head and said, "Go further, the cart is no longer usable, and it must be disposed of here." Now there are only 18 mules, and the cannon will definitely not be able to take it away. Hide here and take it with us when we fully retreat. ”
Bai Shujie is not worried that the little devil will catch up now, because the little devil has been reported, and he still needs to go to the scene to check the situation before he can decide where to chase him. The four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest are to be completely understood, but I am afraid that it is not so easy.
Especially Bai Shujie temporarily decided to move to the northeast, and made trouble for himself to cross the grass river, just because he didn't want the little devil to make an accurate judgment easily.
Bai Shujie's estimate was right, the captain of the little devil gendarmerie detachment, under the protection of more than a dozen soldiers, did not immediately flee after rushing out of the dense forest. He didn't know if there were ambushes outside, so he didn't dare to act blindly.
It wasn't until dawn that they returned to Fengcheng to find that the station had been served in a pot, and the two advisors and the maintenance president had all been killed. The surprise of the little devil captain was not trivial, and he didn't have time to do anything, so he immediately took the remnants of the defeated army and rushed to Liujiahe, which was more than 30 kilometers to the north.
However, by the time they arrived at Liujiahe, it was already noon. This is the headquarters of the 1st Wing of Goryeo Sticks, and the Wing Commander Kang Seok-woo (Yamabe Seok-woo). For such a serious incident to occur suddenly, he did not dare to take the initiative to mobilize troops.
It's not that Kang Seok-woo (Yamabe Seok-woo) can't mobilize troops, it's that this matter is too serious and he doesn't dare to decide on his own. If their own people intervene and don't solve the problem, what will the Japanese think about it?
However, when such a bad incident occurred in his own jurisdiction, Jiang Xiyou (Yamabe Xiyou) felt that he could not escape the blame. Therefore, it was reported to the division commander Major General Kim Young-sun at the first time.
The chief of staff, Major General Park Chung-hee (Takagi Masao), believed that he could not make his own decisions and should consult the 1st Military District Command. Otherwise, the Japanese are likely to put all the blame on their own people, and they will not know how to step down by then.
As a result, by the time the Fengtian First Military Region sent a call back, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon. The content is naturally that the 1st Division of the Korean Japanese Army has seriously derelict its duties, the 1st Wing is beginning to be reorganized, and after it has been transferred to the front line of Fengcheng, not only has it not played its due role, but on the contrary, there have been even worse incidents. If the murderer cannot be caught immediately, all of them will be held accountable.
It's a pity that there is too much time, and by the time Jiang Xiyou led a team to Fengcheng, it was already seven o'clock in the afternoon. Because it was getting late, it had become a luxury to check the traces of the battlefield and collect the remains of the warriors. There is no way, but to stabilize the security of Fengcheng first, and go up the mountain tomorrow to check the battlefield.
just came and went, but it bought Bai Shujie a whole day. Just when Jiang Xiyou led the team to Fengcheng, Bai Shujie had already hidden the cannon and led the team to embark on the return journey back to Tianhua Mountain.
Because of the long detour, I could have reached my destination in one day and one night, but it took three days and three nights to return. When we set off from Tianhua Mountain, the team was 75 people. After this battle, only 62 people have now returned. So along the way, everyone rarely spoke, and the atmosphere seemed very gloomy.
Bai Shujie's deep pain in his heart was even worse, because the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion were all personally selected by him, and they were all the core backbone of the Rehe Front Army. This is the first time that the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion have lost so much at once.
Any soldier of the reconnaissance battalion who is delegated to the combat unit can at least be a platoon commander, and 13 people can support the rack of a battalion! From this point alone, the sacrifice of these soldiers is an unbearable pain in Bai Shujie's heart. What's more, these warriors were born and died with him for so many years, and they gave their lives without getting anything.
After returning to Tianhua Mountain, Bai Shujie asked everyone to rest quickly, and there was no arrangement for three days. He himself, on the other hand, took on the duties of a cook, lighting the fire and cooking, and taking out to hunt and scout the surrounding situation.
On the afternoon of the third day, when all the fighters had recovered more than half of them, they began to check what they had brought back this time.
The largest pile is two hundred sets of winter clothes for little devils, one from head to toe. According to Bai Shujie's analysis, it should be that the two devil squads on Phoenix Mountain are here.
The second is the gold bar, there are a total of seventeen boxes of more than 900 sticks, most of which were searched from the Qin family's compound. When Zhao Sanbao led people to the Qin family's compound, all the people did not resist. After all, all the pillars of the family were broken, and the family naturally declined.
In addition, I got more than 200 gold bars at the little devil's station, and I don't know where I scavenged them. When I came back this time, I used 4 mules to carry this thing.
A total of 12 infantry guns and mountain guns have been left on the road, and the three heavy machine guns and 15 light machine guns captured on the battlefield have also been left on the road. At the same time, there were three large truckloads of shells and bullets transported from the little devil's station.
All the rifles captured during the battle have been smashed on the spot. Because there is really no way to carry it, and the time is too rushed, there is no time to do careful processing, so you can only pick up valuable things to take away.
The rest are all kinds of canned food from the little devils, which Bai Shujie specially asked to bring back. After all, it is impossible to move for the time being, and it is impossible to return to Rehe before the Spring Festival, so a large amount of reserves are needed to prepare for the winter here.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
