"Hit-"
Guan Xiong took the lead, and he was still close to two hundred meters away from the enemy, and the Czech light machine gun in his hand had already fired, and the war horse under his crotch flew over on all fours, and a magazine was on top of the dirt bag before it was finished!
The guard company took care of more than 30 people with twenty-four machine guns, and by the time all the horses rushed to the earthen bags, the enemy had all been killed.
Without hesitation, the commander of the guard company stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's military flag and broke the flagpole, and the enemy's command system was knocked out!
Liu Jiguang, the commander of the 1st Division who was just appointed by Li Shouxin the day before yesterday, was killed for no apparent reason, and the military flag was also captured!
"Brothers, Lao Tzu is here!" Guan Xiong changed a magazine, accompanied by a shout, and led the guard company to rush directly into the battlefield from the small dirt bag, and launched a flanking attack on the enemy in front of him from behind.
A group of puppet troops are all rabble, and at this time they found that their division seat was gone, the military flag was gone, and the enemy had killed from behind their buttocks.
It's a fart in this battle, run! The remaining five or six hundred people rushed their horses and immediately scattered and fled.
"The whole army stopped the pursuit, and the three battalions moved forward to stand on guard. The second battalion gathered the enemy's horses as soon as possible and prevented the enemy's follow-up troops! The guard company rescued the wounded and carried the sacrificed soldiers into the woods behind! ”
Guan Xiong knew that this was not the time to be reckless, since Li Shouxin had four divisions, there would be three more if one was defeated now. If you all come around at once, it's still very troublesome.
After arranging the actions of the troops, Guan Xiong carefully looked around, it turned out that this place was a flat river, and only the small dirt bag from before was a commanding height.
"No, this place is not a good place to fight!" Guan Xiong rode around on horseback, and immediately said to the second battalion commander: "What should be called Gangou here, it's not a good place." Lead your battalion back with the remains of the wounded and soldiers, occupy a vantage point on the first line of the third section of the beam and build a position, ready to block the onslaught of the enemy! Without my orders, you are not allowed to take half a step back! ”
More than 20 minutes after the departure of the second battalion, the third battalion had all returned. The commander of the third battalion came to the small dirt bag where Guan Xiong was and said: "Report to the regiment commander, most of the enemy's 2,000 ** are infantry, and they have already rushed over this side. It's less than ten kilometers from here, and it seems that there are still artillery! Since the ground was flat in front of me, I was worried that I would be discovered by the enemy, so I retreated. ”
After listening to the report of the third battalion commander, Guan Xiong nodded and said in a low voice: "You lead the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion to go around from the east, once the second battalion exchanges fire with the enemy, you will hit the enemy's flank as much as possible." Today's situation is very strange, and it is said that after the vanguard is defeated, Li Shouxin should wait and see for a while. He is now rushing all up, and he is only afraid of deception. You have to send more people to monitor the movement around you, and don't capsize in the gutter! ”
After all the three battalions left, Guan Xiong glanced at the battlefield just now, all the crooked machine guns dropped by the enemy had been taken away, and some of the remaining tattered horse rifles were useless now, so he led the guard battalion to slowly retreat and then returned to the third section of the beam to prepare to block the enemy.
It is said that when Guan Xiong led two cavalry battalions out of the barracks, Bai Shujie, Zhao Jinxi, Gan Tong, Lu Ming and others were nervously discussing the current situation at the headquarters in response to the content of Daisendari's telegram.
Cheng Shijie then sent a telegram, informing Guan Xiong of the tactical arrangements for taking the lead in attacking and taking over from Daisen Dari to block the enemy, and put forward his own views on the following operational principles:
"At present, it has been determined that the enemies north of Linxi Town are all puppet troops or bandits. Although it is known as seven divisions, for such a team, it should not be fully established. Therefore, we believe that we should go all out and deal a fatal blow to the other side, so that they will not dare to peep at Rehe in the future. Cheng Shijie. ”
"Cheng Shijie, their analysis makes sense!" Gan Tong looked at the telegram and said: "For the eastern and northern Chasa regions, Li Shouxin is also an outsider. As far as the information we have so far, he doesn't have his own supply base, so Li Shouxin definitely doesn't have the ability to have four divisions within a week! As for making so many banners, I think it's just bluffing and scaring people! ”
"Wang Ying's situation, Han Qingfen's First Garrison Division has long been paying attention to it." Lu Ming said: "Especially after taking Guyuan County, Han Qingfen has already moved his headquarters over, and now it borders Wang Ying's Kangbao County. According to her reconnaissance conclusions, Wang Ying is more than 3,000 and less than 4,000 people. Even if he all come out, there will always be some people left behind in Kangbao and Shangdu, so it will be up to the sky to be able to come out with 2,000 people! ”
Bai Shujie did not express his opinion, but asked Zhao Jinxi: "What does the sister think?" ”
"It's just a few bandits, is it necessary to make a fuss?" Zhao Jinxi shook his head: "The key at the moment is that they will suddenly appear in our north?" Don't you know that Han Qingfen's troops are only more than 100 kilometers away from Kangbao County, and the cavalry can rush to his city in three hours? Also, the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Cavalry of Kannosuke Motegi was almost wiped out in Chifeng, so what could they do with their bandits? ”
"Haha, you're right, here's the problem! Li Shouxin is looking for us to take revenge under the banner of finding us, and it is clear that there are no three hundred taels of silver here! If he really wants to take revenge, he can directly attack Guyuan County, which is his original nest. This is a suspicious tactic, and it is full of loopholes. Bai Shujie said with a smile: "Order Cheng Shijie to eat these two bandits, and at the same time order Han Qingfen to strengthen the vigilance in the northwest of Guyuan County!" ”
Bai Shujie's telegram, Liu Zhiliang received it on the road.
Because after Cheng Shijie sent the telegram, he had already ordered the deputy division commander Liu Zhiliang to set off with the guard battalion and air defense battalion of the division headquarters. As for the heavy artillery regiment and the infantry regiment, they remained at the station of the Weng Niute Banner Command, which was a strategic reserve, which was controlled by the deputy division commander Wei Ziqiang.
Although Cheng Shijie was not overly worried, several fortresses in Linxi Town had just been taken over, so he himself had come to Linxi Town with a guard platoon to take charge in person.
There are a total of six fortresses on the first line of Linxi Town, from west to east, they are Sanjianfang Fortress, Haojiagou Fortress, Stonemason Mountain Fortress, Jingzigou Fortress, Sandaogou Fortress and Sulm Fortress. This line was defended by two companies of the 21st Infantry Battalion of Zhang Yunhe's Regiment, and the battalion headquarters command post of the 2nd Infantry Battalion was in Linxi Town.
Cheng Shijie didn't sit down and asked, "Guo Zhicheng, how is the situation on your side?" ”
Guo Zhicheng, commander of the 2nd Infantry Battalion. Seeing that the division commander was in such a hurry, he pointed to the map on the wall and said: "The enemy appeared very suddenly, as if he suddenly came out of the ground. Commander, you see, Wujiazi is about 25 kilometers east of Jingzigou Fortress, and Xinglongzhuang is 18 kilometers east of Shimason Mountain Fortress. ”
"According to the enemy's report, Wang Ying and Li Shouxin should be in our southwest, and now they suddenly appear in our east, which means that they are behind us. Therefore, we analyze that they should have come in from the north and suddenly from the south. That is, they walked a long way north from the Kangbao County side before they could come over. Because only in this way can we avoid our reconnaissance. ”
Cheng Shijie nodded: "How are they doing over there, Captain Guan?" Deputy Division Commander Liu: When did they pass? ”
Guo Zhicheng said in a low voice: "The brothers of the cavalry regiment were inserted from next to our fortress, and the two battalions were not far in front of us and suddenly attacked the enemy on both sides. More than a thousand enemies were quickly killed by them, half of them. Later, the enemy's infantry came up and are now facing each other on the front line of Sandanliang to the east. Because our Jingzigou Fortress and Stonemason Mountain Fortress are both hidden fortresses, we did not fire artillery reinforcements. ”
"You handled it right, and you deserve praise!" Cheng Shijie patted Guo Zhicheng on the shoulder and said: "The two places of Jingzigou and Shimason Mountain are not for general combat preparations, this is a strategic fortress. Only if the enemy has broken through your headquarters and directly threatens Chifeng, can you use these two fortresses to attack the enemy's rearguard. ”
Guo Zhicheng's eyes were firm: "Rest assured, the division commander, these two fortresses are equivalent to the back-to-back firepower points on the battlefield, which are used as closing the door and beating the dog at the most critical moment." If these two fortresses are exposed in advance, the meaning of existence will be lost. ”
Cheng Shijie listened to Guo Zhicheng's understanding of the function of the fortress, and his heart was basically relieved: "The understanding is correct!" Command your artillery observer to observe the entire battlefield with the gun scope and report the situation at any time! ”
Guo Zhicheng was right, Guan Xiong's second battalion set up a position on the first line of the third section of the beam, controlled the width of 1,500 meters in the northeast direction, and prepared to block the enemy.
This is a hillside from southeast to northwest, and the further you go to the northwest, the higher it gets, and the main peak is the "Stonemason Mountain Fortress"!
There are three steps in total, so the locals call it "Three-Section Beam". After the 2nd Battalion arrived here, they dismounted and built fortifications on these three steps, and the 72 light machine guns of the battalion were arranged in three echelons.
Ordinary soldiers didn't know that there was a military fortress on the main peak behind them, but Guan Xiong, as the commander of the cavalry, certainly knew it, and he also knew that this fortress could not be discovered by outsiders, so he let the second battalion retreat from the front to defend here, just because he was worried that Li Shouxin would seize the commanding heights here, so he naturally discovered the fortress!
The second battalion commander did not know Guan Xiong's true intentions, and was completely passive in carrying out battlefield orders. After he set up the position, he found that this position could not prevent the enemy from attacking the front line of Linxi Town.
Because this place is in the northwest of Linxi Town, if the enemy does not attack here at all, but runs directly to the southeast, you can rush directly to Linxi Town!
Therefore, when Guan Xiong led the guard company over, the second battalion commander immediately came over: "Regiment commander, are you mistaken, how can we build a position here to block the enemy's advance?" The road should be cut off at the foot of the mountain! ”
"You know!" Guan Xiong saw that there were many ordinary soldiers nearby, and it was difficult to explain that he was actually guarding the Stonemason Mountain Fortress: "Just carry out the order!" If the enemy doesn't attack here, there will naturally be three battalions to deal with them, and you're worried about a ball! Order all your warriors to be on guard to prevent the enemy from taking the high ground behind you! ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
