764. A new order is coming

It is said that the commander of a company and a platoon of the reconnaissance battalion led four combat squads north to raid Xiamatang, and not only captured an armored army train, but also captured a locomotive and four flatbed wagons. Then the entire Xiamatang was swept away, and more than 70 railroad tracks were taken away.

When they returned to the bracken ditch blocking position, the first company commander was still entangled with the little devils unhurriedly, and did not charge.

It turned out that the deputy battalion commander Yu Yongzhi saw that the Lianshanguan Railway Station was completely under his control, and in order to reduce casualties as much as possible, he sent someone to send a letter to the first company commander: "Safety first, enemy annihilation second, road breaking third, reinforcement fourth." ”

In this way, the soldiers of the first company fought against more than 100 people of the two devils on the position, and the competition was the performance of the light weapons of both sides, as well as the level of individual shooting.

Of course, this time the game was unfair. Because of the condescending position of the company, the range of the assault rifle exceeded that of other people's crooked machine guns, and the light machine guns exceeded other people's heavy machine guns.

Of course, these more than 100 devils don't have heavy machine guns, but you actually use heavy machine guns to hit the infantry, and you beat people in two, it's too immoral! It's so inhumane!

The second devil originally had a heavy machine gun, and even a 37mm rapid-fire gun, and the biggest reliance was two columns of rail armored vehicles. However, the damn pink smoke rose and turned the two orbital armored cars into scrap metal.

Fuck, what's the rhythm of this? It's clear that I want to play the rhythm of the dead!

Someone is going to ask, why are these two devils lying here to be slaughtered, why don't they run away?

Although the two devils are not human, they are not fools. The point is that just now in order to rescue the orbital armored car, it rushed too far ahead.

Later, when they found out that the situation was not right, these two devils prepared to escape. Unexpectedly, the enemy's heavy machine guns did not hit people at close range, but only those who escaped, and all of them were cut in two.

Because there are war horses that can be transported, the infantry equipment of the Feilong Second Division on Chen Jie's side still continues the old tradition of the Rehe Front - there are more weapons than people! Specifically:

1 recoilless gun (3 people + 1 assault rifle), 1 mortar (3 people + 2 assault rifles), 1 heavy machine gun (3 people + 2 assault rifles), 2 light machine guns (4 people + 2 assault rifles), 4 assault rifles (4 people) per squad.

As a result, the armament of a squad was 1 recoilless gun, 1 mortar, 1 heavy machine gun, 2 light machine guns, and 11 assault rifles.

Just like now, recoilless guns and mortars are put aside and not used, and there are 3 more people in each squad who are unarmed, so they become ammunition men for heavy machine guns and light machine guns.

Four squads went to Xiamatang, and there were six more squads, that is, 66 assault rifles, 12 light machine guns, and 6 heavy machine guns. And that's not counting the explosive power of the grenade, which of course didn't use in a single company.

It was not unreasonable that the infantry of the Soviet Red Army was able to beat the little devils all over the field.

Such a strong firepower density is concentrated in a row, and it is still condescendingly occupying a favorable position. More than 100 and 2 devils were pressed on both sides of the railway, and they couldn't move at all, even if they cried for their father and mother, they couldn't win. Except for waiting for death, these two devils have no way to live.

An hour later, a long line of their "monster trains" drove away, booming all the way to the side of the orbital armored car that had been parked there earlier.

The two devils lying on the ground in front did not dare to move the orbital armored car, but the platoon leader did not have this concern. Besides, if you don't start the track armored car in front, there is no way for the train behind to get through guò, right?

The platoon leader sat in the front of the "monster train" and shouted at the back: "Two heavy machine guns on the flanks are covered, and six people will start the armored car, pack up the two devils in front and continue to hurry!" ”

The so-called two heavy machine guns on the flanks, that is, the protruding fortresses of the "arc balcony" type on both sides of the armored train.

When the platoon reached the locomotive, it was discovered that the little devil was very cleverly designed, and the heavy machine guns on the flanks were just enough to take care of the 180-degree strike range on both sides of the railway. Together with the two armored wagons in the front and rear, there were two heavy machine guns on each side of the train, taking care of the length of a total of six wagons, and the firepower was ferocious.

A platoon commander rushed over, and a company commander couldn't delay even if he wanted to. A rail armored car and a monster armored train rumbled all the way over, and then stopped directly in the crowd of two devils, and the assault rifle on the car swept condescendingly, all alive!

When the company commander saw that two trains had come, plus two armored cars, he immediately lifted his spirits: "Pry off all the rails here, and we will rush back to support the deputy battalion commander immediately!" ”

As a result, when the "armored troops" of the first company arrived near Lianshan, they found that all the two devils were lying on the west side of the railway, just like the ambush just now, but in a different east-west direction.

The commander of the first company stood on the top of the turret of the orbital armored car, waved the command knife of the squadron of the two devils that he had picked up, and howled wolf: "The conscience of the two devils is greatly broken, and the conscience of the two devils is greatly broken.

To tell the truth, the moment the rail armored car appeared, those two devils lying on the west side of the railway suddenly became as excited as chicken blood. In order to show the samurai spirit in front of the Great Imperial Army, the captain gave an order, and two or three hundred people immediately stood up and were about to charge.

It was at this time that the first company commander gave the final order in a strange way. The heavy machine guns, assault rifles, and 37mm rapid-fire guns on armored vehicles and armored trains opened fire at the same time, and two or three hundred and two devils didn't understand why the Great Imperial Army wanted to kill themselves!

Yu Yongzhi, the deputy battalion commander, saw that there was nothing serious, so he came to the side of the railway and said: "The first company is already familiar with the new equipment captured, and now it is leading the rail armored cars and armored trains to continue southward to reinforce the line of Liujiahe, and assist the machine gun battalion to completely eliminate Jiang Xiyou's first wing wing headquarters." ”

"The second company comprehensively cleaned up the brigade headquarters of the two devils, and also started the spare wagons and locomotives in the Lianshanguan Railway Station to move. The third company cleared the traitors and miscellaneous pieces in Lianshanguan Town, and then all began to destroy the railway, and everything that could be taken away was taken away. ”

"It doesn't have to be that way."

At this moment, the battalion commander Zheng Zhiwan rushed over on horseback with the rest of the communication platoon: "Just now Boss Chen sent a telegram that Jiang Xiyou's wing headquarters had been taken down by Li Bozhou's machine gun battalion. Our fourth company has already followed the machine gun battalion to act in unison, and is urgently moving south to encircle and annihilate the cavalry regiment of the traitor Zhang Zhenyou. ”

"The task given to us by the regiment commander is to bring along the road something that can be taken away, especially fuel, grain and oil, salt, cloth and other military supplies, and we must not leave it out, the more the better. You should know the truth that the army goes first before the grain and grass are moved. Then there are the seized weapons and other things. ”

Yu Yongzhi, deputy battalion commander, suddenly understood: "After a long time, everyone went to fight, and our reconnaissance battalion has been transformed into a logistics baggage team. Fuck, sweeping all the way from here to Andong County, and five train stations, how many things do you have to have? Also, when Li Bozhou sees us in the future, his tail will go to the sky! ”

"You know the! What does the commander-in-chief usually say, have you forgotten it? Zheng Zhikuan scolded with a smile: "There is no food for the army, so you are busy in vain!" You know? In my opinion, since the division commander has turned us into a temporary baggage team this time, and we have to sweep all the way through, the amount of various materials is amazing, which has never happened before. ”

"From this, it can be seen that there must be earth-shattering action next! The division commander made it very clear in the telegram that the Liujiahe Railway Station and the Fengcheng Railway Station had already been charged, and 27 wagons had been concentrated. And he intercepted a train at the Bianmen railway station, which is similar to the one you captured, but it was full of bullets or shells. ”

"Now these things need to be received by us. At the same time, we were ordered to transport to Tangshan City in batches, and then we were on guard on the spot, waiting for the next order at eight o'clock in the evening. It's already four o'clock, and we still have four hours to go, so we're very nervous. From now on, prisoners were taken and labor brigades were formed to carry supplies. Hurry up! ”

I will not mention how busy the baggage team formed by the reconnaissance battalion is for the time being.

It is said that after Chen Jie sent out all the main combat troops, at seven o'clock in the morning of October 14, 1937, he took his guard battalion and an artillery company down the mountain from Tongmiaogou and left the Xinkailing secret camp where he had been stationed for two years. Then I rushed southwest along the Yuan River, and finally arrived at Wulong Mountain, 20 kilometers northeast of Andong County, at about one o'clock in the afternoon.

Wulong Mountain is the handover place where Chen Jie greets the escort baggage team in the direction of Xiuyan every time. Because the Shahe River is located at the foot of the mountain to the southwest, you can cross the Yalu River in the early morning by sledding from here in winter. Therefore, the Wuyongsan line is also a base for smuggling into North Korea in winter.

According to Chen Jie's original intention, the headquarters should be located in the mountains east of Fengcheng. And today, the headquarters is located here in Wulong Mountain, which is not his own intention, but Bai Shujie's order.

Because of this, Chen Jie has understood Bai Shujie's true thoughts, that is, to take Andong County completely. Otherwise, he would not have ordered Zhang Zhenyou's cavalry regiment to be transferred out of the county seat to solve the problem, because he was afraid that the county seat of Andong would be damaged.

The three armies all started to move at the same time at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the progress was very smooth, only the cavalry battalion commander Zhang Minghan led six companies to seize Fengcheng and delayed some time. The key is that the geographical environment of Fengcheng is too superior, so it took an hour to solve the artillery positions on the periphery and an hour to occupy Fengcheng.

In general, the losses of the attacking forces over the past two hours or so of fighting were almost negligible. So far, Chen Jie has received reports of troop losses, and only 9 people have been sacrificed and more than 10 people have been slightly injured.

At present, Zhang Zhenyou's cavalry regiment of more than 1,000 people has been surrounded on the line of Aijialing, two kilometers southeast of Wulongbei Station, and it is estimated that it will take about half an hour to completely resolve the battle.

In the early stage, everything was very smooth, so Chen Jie sent a telegram to Bai Shujie at half past five in the afternoon, preparing to take advantage of the victory to capture Anton and occupy it after solving Zhang Zhenyou's cavalry regiment. Unexpectedly, Bai Shujie's reply made Chen Jie confused again:

"Order your troops to besiege Zhang Zhenyou's cavalry regiment, but the general attack to settle the battle must begin at about eight o'clock in the evening. Then let the military supplies go south to Andong County, and the main force built fortifications on the front line of Wulongbei to prepare for contingencies. The specific content of the follow-up of this battle was orally conveyed by Xia Luoshan of the detachment. ”

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