562, cannon Liwei
Wang Juemin's group came out of Yangeryu and walked less than seven kilometers west to a place called Liujiagou. Just as he was about to go up the mountain, the commander of the sharp knife company of the vanguard team returned.
"Report to the head of the group: A warning sign was found on the road ahead, saying that the Yesanpo Self-Defense Group does not welcome any forces to enter, otherwise it will be severely attacked by the Self-Defense Group. What do we do? β
"This is a trick of the bandits, ignore them! Order the troops to move on, and be sure to climb over the ridge in front of them before noon! Hearing this, Commander Wang was furious: "A group of bandits who robbed homes and houses dared to threaten the army, it was simply lawless, purely looking for death!" β
Regiment Commander Wang was right, after two hours of arduous trekking, more than 2,000 people in the whole regiment had already crossed the mountain beam, and they did not encounter any "severe blows".
Coming down from the mountain beam, there is a small valley, and the whole group is buried in the pot to prepare lunch. Unexpectedly, as soon as the fire was lit, a shrill whistling sound suddenly came from the western sky.
Today's middle-level officers of the Northwest Army have all worked with little devils on the Great Wall. There is nothing else to this whistling sound than the alarm that the shells of the heavy artillery have been flying rapidly!
"Disperse quickly, the enemy is coming with heavy artillery!"
Boom - Bang!
More than 800 meters away from the camp, a bombshell fell to the ground and blossomed, and a big tree hugged by two people was broken on the spot! A deep pit with a diameter of more than five meters was formed in the ground, and the whole earth trembled!
"Reconnaissance company, what the hell is going on?" Wang Juemin got up from the ground and immediately roared angrily: "The enemy's heavy artillery is at least a dozen miles away, how can they know our location?" β
"Report to the regimental commander: The reconnaissance distance of our reconnaissance company is only five kilometers ahead, and as for how the enemy knows our location, it is not known now. I saw that the enemy's artillery observation post was not far from us, and even followed us all the time. To be on the safe side, let's retreat beyond the warning signs. β
"Nonsense!" Commander Wang scolded angrily: "If you are scared by a bomb from the bandits, then it will be a fart fight!" The reconnaissance company was dispatched as a whole and immediately captured the enemy sentries. And then immediately interspersed and put an end to the enemy's artillery positions! β
There was no way, the so-called military order fell like a mountain, and the commander of the reconnaissance company gave an order, and more than 180 people in the whole company flew on their horses and rushed to the dense forest in the west.
"Company commander, there is a company of cavalry on the opposite side, what should we do?"
This company commander is none other than the commander of the reconnaissance company that Zhang Erxuan formed just after the expansion! The reconnaissance company he led was a reinforced company with a total of 298 men. They are responsible for monitoring the direction of Fangshan Town, and the shelling just now is the coordinates he sent back!
"Spread out! The submachine guns are all equipped with brackets, and machine guns and submachine guns are used to form a circular position, and Lao Tzu wants to capture them all alive! β
Temur is now in high spirits, and the whole company is equipped with No. 1 submachine guns, except for 3 Deg Galev light machine guns per squad. Melee firepower within 500 meters, he doesn't take it seriously at all.
"Phewβ"
The commander of the enemy's reconnaissance company was urging his horse to gallop, when he suddenly noticed a row of black muzzles in the grass in front of him! And all fucking machine guns with flare smoke suppressors, and the distance is already less than eighty meters!
Temur stood up from the grass and said with a smile: "Dude, you are captured! If you don't believe me, look around! β
When the reconnaissance company commander heard this, he looked around, and suddenly his whole body trembled: Obediently, hundreds of light machine guns, this is the strength of at least two fucking regiments. Thousands of people just to surround themselves a company? Definitely not! It seems that they want to surround the whole regiment.
"What, do you still want to fight twice?" When Temur saw the other party sitting on the back of the horse and said nothing, he immediately collapsed his face: "Let the horse come!" As long as you dare to take a step forward, Lao Tzu will never let you live alone! Lao Tzu didn't believe it, two machine guns couldn't kill a person! β
The commander of the reconnaissance company said helplessly: "All dismount, disarm and surrender!" β
Temur said in a deep voice: "There is no need to dismount, just throw the gun away!" We still have a long way to go, easy to ride a horse. One platoon escorts the prisoners, the second platoon clears the battlefield, and the third and fourth platoons monitor the enemy behind! If they dare to advance half a step, immediately call the artillery to teach them a lesson! β
The commander of the enemy company saw the number of people coming out of the surroundings, about 300 people, so he asked in surprise: "Is this one of your companies?" β
"yes, isn't it just a company!" Temur was unimpressed: "Let's go, it's dangerous to stay here, maybe when the shells will fall!" β
"What kind of troops are you, and the machine gun company can't all be machine guns, right?" As the enemy company commander walked forward, he turned his head and said to Temur: "You are a ghost coaxer, right?" The big army is still on the periphery, isn't it? β
"Hehe, you are the commander of the reconnaissance company, and Lao Tzu is also the commander of the reconnaissance company, everyone is at the same level!" Temur smiled and said, "Who made our self-defense regiment poor, we couldn't even find a rifle." There's no way, so I can only let the brothers use machine guns to deal with the call first. Anyway, a drum is dozens or hundreds of bullets, and there is no need for any ammunition hand. How's it going, it's still eye-catching? β
The enemy company commander drooped his head, and the soldiers behind him also shook their heads and sighed, all speechless!
Did Temur bring the captives back to the camp? How is that possible!
His task was to monitor the enemy in the east, and naturally he had to carry out it according to the principle of being able to monitor the enemy. As a result, after less than three kilometers to the west, I turned around and headed south. Then turn around and head east, then turn around and head north! - Behind the enemy!
"What's your name?" Temur told the soldiers and prisoners to dismount and rest, and then asked the enemy company commander: "Tell me, it's my company of 300 machine guns, and now something suddenly comes to flank it, what will happen to your regiment?" β
"My name is Xiao Zhendong!" The enemy company commander shook his head: "According to your firepower density, if our regiment receives a flank attack from both sides, it will definitely not be able to support it, and it will definitely collapse in the end!" Besides, you have heavy artillery to support you, and if you don't do it well, you will be wiped out. β
"You understand very well, Company Commander Xiao!" Temur said sternly: "Since this is the case, why don't you listen to the dissuasion, and you must go deep alone?" β
Xiao Zhendong shook his head: "I don't know very well, it seems that our head of the regiment is related to the old Su family in Yangeryu." It's all a matter between the chiefs, and I can't say for sure. Soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, and I tried to persuade the regiment commander but to no avail. β
"It turned out to be a relative of the old Su family, so it can be understood!" Temur said helplessly: "I can't help this, although everyone is a brother, but there is no reason not to fight back, and not to scold back." Proper lessons are inevitable, so let's pray for our brothers who have given their lives to our superiors! β
Going back to head Wang Juemin, the reconnaissance company went out for two hours, but no news came back. Not only did he not pay enough attention, but he felt that the reconnaissance company might have chased the enemy or touched the enemy's artillery position, so he thought that it was the best time to march now to give the enemy a surprise.
"The whole regiment has it, march ten kilometers in a hurry, rush to Longmentai before dark, launch a general attack on Yesanpo in the early morning of tomorrow, and advance!"
It took an hour to climb over a mountain beam, and as long as you climbed over the mountain beam in front of you, you could reach Longmentai, and Wang Juemin, the head of the regiment, thought that victory was in sight. The problem is that after coming down from the mountain beam, the valley is so narrow, nearly 2,000 men and horses are crammed into the ravine, and this is already a disaster!
With the whistling of heavy artillery shells, 8 shells lined up in a line, with a distance of 300 meters, impartial, and just fell along the direction of the valley.
Then there was an earth-shattering explosion, and the soldiers of at least two companies, without the slightest reaction, gave their lives on the spot for their commander!
Xiao Zhendong and his subordinates, accompanied by Temur, saw this terrible scene in the valley on the mountain beam to the east!
Fortunately, 8 heavy guns fired only one salvo, and no second round of shells fell, otherwise, not a single infantry was needed at all, and the regiment would have been wiped out!
At this moment, an exclamation came from inside the mountain: "Oh no, the regiment commander was killed!" β
This time, the whole valley is in chaos. The soldiers were already stunned by the heavy artillery, but now when they heard the news of the death of the regiment commander, the entire regiment suddenly collapsed, and the soldiers began to flee in all directions, and the officers at all levels could not suppress it at all.
As mentioned above, since the Battle of the Great Wall, the 29th Army has spared no effort to expand its numbers, from less than 30,000 to more than 100,000 now, and the combat effectiveness of the troops can be imagined!
At that time, a reporter described General Zhang Zizhong in the newspaper as follows: "It was raining heavily, and the public was walking with the army, and his spirit was pleasant, and he had no raincoat or cover. The soldiers marched on the road, and their arduous spirit was admirable. However, everything he does is natural, and it is by no means a reputation for fame. β
This one looks like a layman!
If a unit's military literacy has been cultivated and its combat effectiveness has been formed, does it need a 40,000-strong division commander to lead the troops to train in the rain?
The reason why this is the case is that because of the unlimited expansion of the troops, officers at all levels have continuously jumped up the ranks, and the combat effectiveness of the troops will drop exponentially!
Coupled with the policy of compromise with the Japanese army, the recruits simply did not have the opportunity to practice in real combat. No matter how many troops there are, when it comes to combat effectiveness, it is basically equal to zero, and General Zhang Zizhong is naturally very anxious in his heart!
According to later relevant sources: Tada Jun saw this news, smiled slightly, and then grinned again. The meaning is self-evident: the 29th Army is already unbearable!
It's a pity that Song Zheyuan was complacent in his heart, and once privately threatened: "Back then, less than 30,000 people were able to achieve a great victory on the Great Wall, and now I have a division of 100,000 tigers and wolves, what can the Japanese do to me?" β
It is precisely for this reason that he believes that the Japanese do not dare to provoke a big dispute lightly, but just make a small fight and strive for some immediate interests. Therefore, he repeatedly followed the wishes of the Japanese, did not build fortifications at all, and did not prepare for war.
To say that Song Zheyuan is forgetful, and he doesn't know the height of the sky, it seems too much. To say that he knows how to fight, it seems to exalt him again. So, don't say anything about such people.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
