The group of deputy company commanders and platoon commanders is in the middle, and their movements are the code signals for action. In the blink of an eye, on a length of more than 1,400 meters, the figure suddenly shook.

The scout is against the scout, and everyone doesn't want to expose the target. So the whole fight scene is a muffled hum, except for the sound of fists hitting the flesh and the sound of bayonets entering the flesh.

The whole company, including the cooking class, had already entered the battle, and only one company commander, Li Xiaoming, and two newspaper operators were left lying on the river embankment to watch the play. Seeing that they kept pointing at the battlefield, they didn't seem to be in a hurry or worried at all.

At this moment, the radio operator quickly took the radio off his back and turned it on, and it turned out that there was a signal coming. In less than two minutes, the operator had turned off the radio and said to the company commander Li Xiaoming: "The battalion commander has called, let us immediately cross the river north from the Gu'an line and monitor the movements of the 59th Wing of the 27th Brigade of the 14th Division of the Little Devils." ”

A platoon commander ran over panting and said, "Company commander, the battle is over." Three of us were slightly wounded, and all of us wiped out 109 people in a search squadron of little devils. ”

"There are still people injured in this ambush war, and you have the fucking face to say!" The first company commander Li Xiaoming said angrily: "Your platoon quickly took off the military uniform of the little devil and changed it on, and then followed the deputy company commander to cross the river to the north." This search squadron should be the 59th Wing opposite, and you should bring a radio station to monitor this 59th Wing. ”

A company of the reconnaissance battalion secretly ambushed a search squadron of little devils, which had no direct impact on the overall situation.

At about nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the 14th Division of the little devils still crossed the Yongding River as planned. Of course, the vanguard of crossing the river was very lucky, and when they saw Bai Huahua's corpse first, they had some doubts about the next battle.

Whether it's because of the reduced likelihood of being seen by their own soldiers, or because of the weather in September now, the bodies need to be incinerated urgently after a night. Anyway, the first order given to the vanguard of the river crossing was not to attack and advance, but to hurry to dispose of the corpses.

The commander of the 14th Division is the notorious big spy Kenji Dohihara, and the chief of staff, Tadayoshi Sano. This is a fully organized pack horse division, with more than 24,000 people, under the jurisdiction of:

27th Infantry Brigade: Brigade Commander Major General Guan Yu:

Wing Commander of the 2nd Infantry Wing Ishiguro Sadazo Osa, Wing Commander of the 59th Infantry Wing Ibanai Kazura Osa.

28th Infantry Brigade: Brigade Commander Major General Takashi Sakai:

Wing Commander of the 15th Infantry Wing Morita Fan Masa, and Wing Commander of the 50th Infantry Wing Nagayama Noboru Daisa.

Wing Commander of the 18th Cavalry Wing Kaneto Nakasa, Wing Commander of the 20th Field Artillery Wing Kiyosa Miyagawa, Wing Commander of the 14th Engineer Wing Iwakura Rumen Osa, Wing Commander of the 14th Wing of the Heavy Infantry Ishihara Shozo Nakasa, Signal Team, Health Team, 1st to 4th Field Hospitals, Weapons Maintenance Service Team.

The 14th Division had just arrived on the front line of Pingjin, and it was said that it should be unfamiliar with the environment. But because Kenji Dohihara is the head of the division, in the hands of every captain, there is a "key map of North China" drawn by Kenji Dohihara himself!

Because of this, the 14th Division was the first to cross the Yongding River on September 14, 1937.

A search squadron was killed, and the corpses were stripped naked and thrown on the river beach to "show the public", Kenji Dohihara, an old miscellaneous man, thought that this was a deliberate insult to himself before the defenders retreated.

Therefore, under the order of Kenji Dohihara, Sakanishi Ichira Daisa, who was angry that one of his search squadrons had been killed, led his 59th Wing and quickly chased him southwest.

Feng Zhanhai's 91st Division fled a little slower to the south, and finally on the front line of Pengcun south of Gu'an, it was bitten by a brigade of Sakanishi Ichira, who was chasing quickly! After three minutes of fierce fighting, this rearguard regiment collapsed on all fronts and fled to the south of Gaobeidian wolf Bèi!

Fortunately, the 14th Division of Tohihara Kenji did not intend to do this, but to go around behind Sun Lianzhong's 26th Route Army and attack the Zhuozhou and Fangshan lines from the south. Therefore, after Sakanishi Ichira's main force defeated the enemy in front of him, he immediately turned around and marched westward, and Feng Zhanhai's 91st Division only picked up half a life!

At the same time, Gu Shoufu's 6th Division was still desperately on the road, and it was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that it arrived at the front line of Hejin and Shuangying, and then began to cross the river with the whole army.

Because Nanyuan is surrounded by low-lying land, and Yongding River, Baigou River, Yakniu River, Xiaoqing River, Xiaoman River, North and South Reduction River, Heaven River, etc., all cross together.

If the locals don't lead the way, once it rains heavily, the area is a huge maze, and once outsiders go inside, don't even think about how to get here!

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Shoufu, an old man, and his little cubs crossed the Yongding River, they could no longer figure out the south, east, and west. The eyes are full of rivers and lakes, large and small, which makes these mongrels dizzy.

was busy until nine o'clock in the evening, and Gu Shoufu, an old man, didn't know where he was, what he should do next, and he didn't know where his destination was.

If you don't know where you are, you can't find where you started, so all the maps and compasses in your hands are waste.

In fact, the second company of the reconnaissance battalion of Wei Chong's headquarters saw the cavalry wing of the 6th Division of the little devil on the front line of Jiangjiaying in Nanmeng Town, 9 kilometers north of Bazhou.

However, because this place happened to be intertwined with the Hongjiang River and the Yakniu River, the cavalry company went south along the Yakniu River to here, and then went north along the Hongjiang River.

The soldiers of the second reconnaissance company were puzzled: "The little devil is really generous this time, and he actually sent a cavalry wing to search this area!" ”

At the same time, the 36th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division also went south along the east bank of the Yakniu River, but when it reached the water network area at the confluence of the Taiping River and the Yakniu River, it turned around and turned back along the Taiping River!

At half past eight in the evening, Tani was forced to order the units of the 6th Division to stop along the railway to find out what was going on here.

It was also at this time that Wei Chong of Xiongxian County had already transferred the main force from Baiyangdian and concealed it to the starting point of the attack, that is, the front line of Imjin in the northwest of Bazhou Town, and was currently carrying out the final intelligence collection.

Chang Bikuan, commander of the reconnaissance battalion, said to the map: "The temporary headquarters of the 6th Division is Niutuo Town, and it is in the railway station. The 6th Field Artillery Wing, the 6th Engineer Wing, and the 6th Baggage Wing are all here. ”

"The other units are stationed on the spot around the town of Niutuo, and the entire temporary station is more than 10 kilometers in diameter. The 6th Cavalry Wing was stationed in Yanggezhuang, the 36th Infantry Brigade stayed in the area of Mentieying, and the 11th Infantry Brigade stayed on the front line of Maojiayuanzi. ”

Wei Chong carefully looked at the map of the enemy's distribution drawn by Chang Bikuan, and then said in a deep voice: "Chang Bikuan, order your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies to monitor the enemy in the north on the front line of Gu'an, and if you find enemy reinforcements, pick up the railways and roads, and then take the enemy in circles. This place is not suitable for the deployment of mechanized troops, and the little devils cannot maneuver quickly. ”

"The 4th Reconnaissance Company, which had been lurking near Niutuo Town, immediately used 9 mortars to fire incendiary bombs at the Niutuo Town Railway Station and burned the baggage of the 6th Division. Immediately retreat after ten rapid fires, and there is no need to verify the results of the battle. ”

"Order: The machine gun battalion will make a surprise attack on the 6th Cavalry Wing of Yanggezhuang nearby, first using 24 mortars and ten rapid fires, and then use machine guns to expand the results of the battle. Remember, the weapons you are equipped with this time are all Czech light machine guns that were snatched from Dagu last time, and according to the standard of one for two people, it is 372 units. ”

"All the light machine guns knocked out six magazines and immediately retreated. Return to the Xiongxian headquarters and take away all the bullets prepared for you, immediately cross the Pinghan Railway in the south direction and plunge directly into the north of the city, and in the future, obey the command of Zhang Erxuan, the commander of the Fangshan Independent Regiment. ”

"Order: The cavalry battalion rushed to the 36th Brigade of the Mentie Battalion to the north, also using mortars to open the way, and then swept past the enemy's temporary position. After rushing out, it joined up with the three companies of the reconnaissance battalion to the north, and then went straight to the southwest. After crossing the Juma River, he rushed westward, and from now on, he obeyed the command of Zhang Ertun, the head of the Fangshan Independent Regiment. ”

"Order: The mortar battalion follows me and sets off immediately. Flank the headquarters of the 6th Division in Niutuo Town from the east, while monitoring the 11th Infantry Brigade of Maojiayuanzi. ”

"Brothers: tonight's raid is not about annihilating the opponent. After all, there are more than 25,000 people in the 6th Division, which is not something that our four battalions can gnaw. The main tactical purpose is to completely demoralize the enemy and make them not too arrogant. ”

"From my order just now, you should already know that there is an even bigger battle waiting for us in the future. The boss of Chengde should be in the next big game of chess, and we are just a small flag in the hands of the boss. ”

"It's past 8:30 p.m., and all the troops are in control of the time to attack, and there is no need to act in unison. They marched and attacked, and there was no need to continue to report. All the troops under the command of Regiment Commander Zhang Erxuan in the future must go all out as indicated by the military order! Got it? Go your separate ways! ”

This time, because of the covert attack, except for the reconnaissance battalion and the cavalry battalion, the other troops did not bring out the war horses.

Now it takes 7 hours to travel 18 kilometers. Don't look at the road of just over two kilometers per hour, walking in muddy fields is not an easy task.

The closest to the attack was the machine gun battalion, and their target was the 6th Cavalry Wing of Yanggezhuang on the east bank of the Hongjiang River.

After returning to his unit, Ke Yuxin, commander of the machine-gun battalion, briefly met with the deputy battalion commander and then led the team to set off, and after three hours, he arrived at the Jingtian battalion on the west bank of the Hongjiang River at half past eleven in the evening.

"I led two machine gun companies across the river to touch the past, and the deputy battalion commander led the artillery company and guard platoon to set up positions by the river and prepare to shell Yanggezhuang and Nanchen Village. The shelling was at one o'clock in the morning, and after the ten rounds of rapid fire, we immediately packed up our artillery and met us by the river. ”

Although there are many rivers here in Hebei, the water is not very deep. The water depth of the Hongjiang River is waist-deep, and it is not difficult to wade across the river. Besides, it's mid-September, and it's lukewarm, and it doesn't make a big difference.

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