Chapter 11: Wild Supplement (45)

The victory of the Gui system, Mo Di did not have time to slowly evaluate it, so it was quickly put aside, because the enemy soldiers of Anqing came out of the hidden mountain and tore apart a fierce battle at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain.

Originally, this battle was a joint offensive by the 116th Division in order to coordinate with the 68th Wing of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division and the 60th Wing of the 15th Division. Lieutenant General Kishige Shimizu, commander of the 116th Division, commanded the 130th Brigade and was stationed in Hefei, and the 119th Brigade was stationed in Anqing. The 138th Wing of the 130th Ozaki Brigade of Hefei was scheduled to attack from east to west from the direction of Lu'an, while the 119th Kiyono Brigade was to attack Dabie Mountain from the south to the north from the direction of Qianshan. Because the personnel of the 116th Division were not uniform, it was not easy to gather two teams of men, and before they set off, they received news that the Japanese troops in the northwest and southwest had collapsed. As a result, the 116th Division immediately stopped marching, and the Japanese army attacking in the direction of Lu'an often had skirmishes with the 138th Division, and the Anqing side did not go out of the gate at all. It wasn't until September that the Japanese puppet army in Anqing packed up and stopped, and a joint team composed of Japanese puppet troops walked out of Anqing City and went straight out of the hidden mountain. This enemy army is commanded by Kazuo Aoki, the commander of the 119th Wing of the 130th Brigade of the 130th Brigade, and the deputy commander is the 28th Regiment of the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Peace Founding Army, and the regiment commander Liu Maizai.

After receiving the news of the enemy army in Anqing, Mo Di's first reaction was that the 119 Qingye Brigade, which had been silent for a long time, should also have a new move! In the past two years, the Qingye Brigade insisted on Anqing and did not leave the city easily, and the area under its jurisdiction was only a Gaohe port. Looking at the Japanese army's style of blooming everywhere, this is extremely abnormal, Mo Di has always had a kind of expectation in his heart, when the Japanese puppet army in Anqing can get out of the turtle shell on a large scale, this time, it finally came out. It's easy not to come out, once it comes out, it must have its ulterior purpose, so what is the purpose of the enemy army in Anqing this time? It is impossible to enter Yuexi in the north, the Japanese army on those two routes has already been defeated, and it is impossible to form a flank attack, and it is meaningless to go again. It is impossible to go west to eastern Hubei and connect with the Japanese army in Huangmei, because most of the Japanese troops in China mainly occupy points, and they have not promoted the area, and they can't do it in the past, but now they occupy a wider area and the troops are more insufficient. What it is, Mo Di can't figure it out. Since you can't figure it out, you don't want to, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, and you will know it when the time comes, not to mention that you are not the first opponent of the Japanese army, and you have enough time to understand.

The brunt of this attack of the Japanese army in Anqing was the 527th Regiment of the 176th Division, with regiment commander Yang Chuangqi and deputy regiment commander Wei Zhigao.

The Japanese army's attack was not smooth, because Wei Zhigao was born as an engineer, the defensive work was extremely good, and with the strong support of Hao Wenbo's regiment, the 527th regiment took a defensive position, relying on the Meicheng city wall, and even blocked the Japanese puppet army for ten days, and finally broke the city and withdrew from Meicheng. The Japanese occupied Meicheng on 28 September.

On the fifth day after the city was broken, Mo Enemy received an order from the 176th Division to reinforce Qianshan and cooperate with the 527th Regiment, which had retreated to the water roar, to strike at the invading enemy.

"This Japanese can also pinch and calculate, knowing that our three main battalions have all been sorted out in place, they will start to look for trouble!" Luo Wei said with a smile that during this time, he spent most of his time as an instructor in Zhongliang's battalion, and he knew this brand-new battalion well, although it was still the weakest battalion in the whole regiment, but he was already able to pull out a battle!

"Luo Wei, let's discuss, whether to act as a whole, or to leave some people here to guard the temple." Mo Di said that for the first time, he had a sense of belonging to this place, and felt that no matter where he went to fight in the future, he should return to Yuexi after the battle, which was his home.

Luo Wei thought for a while and said: "According to the news, this time the Japanese army was dispatched, there was a wing and a pseudo-regiment, according to the standard system, there should be more than 5,000 people. According to our understanding of the 116th Division, it is estimated that this division will not have a full wing, and the 130 Aoki Wing will not exceed 3,000 people at most. As for Liu Maizai's pseudo-army, there are definitely enough people, but only God knows what the combat level is. All four of our battalions were dispatched, and there were only more than 1,000 people, so I thought it would be better to go all out! ”

Jin Tongxuan shook his head and said, "I agree with Lao Luo's suggestion to go all out, but I have a different opinion on the previous judgment. In my opinion, this group of Japanese puppet troops should be less than 4,000 people, because they were blocked by the 527th Regiment and Hao Wenbo's Regiment in the hidden mountain for ten days. First of all, it is certain that this group of Japanese puppet troops has no heavy firepower, and it is estimated that 70 infantry guns are not very many, let alone 75 mountain guns and large-caliber artillery, if there are large-caliber artillery, Wei Zhigao will not be able to stop it for so long. ”

Mo Di nodded and said, "Then let's wait for Zhong Dingnai's camp to come back before we set off together!" Anyway, the hidden mountain has been lost, and it's not bad for a few days. I have a hunch that if we go a few days later, it will be easier to fight. ”

Jin Tongxuan smiled and said, "Is the regiment commander expecting that the Japanese army will divide the troops after occupying Qianshan?" If we go all the way to Taihu Lake, all the way to Tongcheng, all the way to Yuexi, and leave Meicheng to defend the city, we can break them all, right? ”

"I don't know if this group of Japanese puppet soldiers can let us get our wish." Mo Di looked at the map on the table, if the Japanese army is strong, it is completely possible to divide the troops to attack several places at the same time, after all, there is only one 176th division guarding this place, and three regiments are stationed in three places, this is not a secret, the Japanese puppet army in Anqing has long known, perhaps, the Japanese puppet army is also preparing to organize superior forces and break through each one.

At this time, He Degui walked in and said to Mo Di: "Has the battle plan been decided?" ”

"Lao He made a special trip to me, he must have a plan to teach me." Mo Di said: "I don't know what your opinion is? ”

"There is no high view, and the low view is about the same." He Degui smiled, in the past few months, he has been busy, not only making the supplies of the whole regiment more and more abundant, but also setting up nineteen military stations in Yuexi. Now, these 19 military stations have become 19 bazaars, 19 commodity exchange points, and 19 economic centers, and they are bringing the people of Yuexi to prosperity in a stable manner.

"Don't be modest!" Luo Wei said: "Without you, we wouldn't be able to establish ourselves in Yuexi at all. Without you, we wouldn't know where we would be for three meals a day. During this time in Yuexi, I learned that a soldier can fight a war, and it is nothing to win a war. "Walked over and pulled He Degui to the VIP seat in the reception area and sat down.

Jin Tongxuan had already poured a glass of water and handed it to He Degui, Jin Tongxuan said: "I don't say, I'll wait, I know, this time Lao He will definitely give us the most powerful opinion." ”

He Degui took the water cup, thanked him, and said, "I don't know if it's right or not, after speaking, you can refer to it." I think that the Japanese puppet army in Anqing has been honest for so long, and they suddenly made a move, it must be because they think that the strength of the enemy and us has changed. Although our 176th Division has been deployed, its strength has not decreased, and it is the Japanese puppet army that may change, and their strength should have been strengthened. So, I think there is a certain danger in this expedition. I don't plan to go to battle with the army this time, and the logistics of grain and grass are in charge of Lao Xie of the baggage team. I plan to transfer back all the men from the 19 military stations when you go out on the expedition, and then conduct a drill in our barracks, and then, in the form of a battalion, will patrol the major market towns in Yuexi with full armament, mainly to threaten some unstable elements, and if necessary, kill a few people. In this way, ensure the safety of Yuexi County, and ensure that you do not catch fire in the backyard when you go on the expedition. So that you can rest assured to concentrate on dealing with the Japanese puppet army. ”

Mo Di stood up, walked in front of He Degui, held He Degui's hand tightly, and said: "As a base area, I am not as much as you, I now know that the original establishment of nineteen military stations was to be able to go all out today!" Thank you Lao He, I know how to do it. ”

The Zhong Dingnai battalion, which was stationed at Sanmenhe, was immediately ordered to return, and the whole regiment attacked with full formation. Mo Enemy knows that this battle should not be taken lightly.

In order to wait for Zhong Dingnai's camp, which had returned from afar, the field supplement group stayed in Yuexi for two more days. In the past two days, they received thirty telegrams a day, of which ten telegrams were urging them to set off, and the other twenty telegrams allowed the Mo Enemy to basically understand the movements of the Japanese puppet army in Qianshan.

The most valuable is the telegram of Wei Zhigao, deputy commander of the 527th Regiment. In his telegram, he gave a detailed description of the attacking Japanese army, and in his opinion, if the number was equal, he might be able to hold Qianshan Meicheng all the way.

As Luo Wei and Jin Tongxuan estimated, the Japanese puppet army was not fully staffed by a wing and a puppet regiment, and there were only two infantry brigades under the Japanese Aoki Wing, without an infantry artillery formation, and the strongest firepower was only a curved artillery squadron.

Because there were no large weapons, no cars and other means of transport, they did not take the Gaohebu Yuantan Highway, but from Yueguan to Huangdun, and went straight to Meicheng. On the first day, I went to Huangdun to stay overnight, and on the second day, I arrived at the east of Wanshui. Because the 527th Regiment had already prepared to receive all the ferries from Anhui to Hexi, it took two days for the Japanese army to cross the river. When the Japanese army crossed the river, it was attacked by the Peng Wu battalion of the 527th regiment, and the Japanese army suffered some damage. Peng Wu's battalion was on the edge of the Anhui River and blocked the Japanese army for three days, first trying to figure out the number and configuration of the attack, secondly, judging the purpose of the trip through the actions of the Japanese puppet army, and thirdly, fighting for time to let Pang Fengqing lay mines. After three days of interception, the predetermined goal was basically achieved, and the Pengwu battalion was evacuated. When the Japanese army crossed the river, the scouts of the 527th Regiment in the distance counted the number of the other side, and the Japanese army that crossed the Anhui River was 2,117 people, and the puppet army was 1,362 people, totaling less than 3,500 people. If we follow a full wing of the Japanese army, it should reach 3,800 people, and here it is obviously not satisfied.

Even if the Japanese puppet army is not satisfied, it is still an invincible number for the 527th Regiment of the defending army in Meicheng. In order to cooperate with the battle, Li Shengzong, the commander of the 11th Tour, transferred Hao Wenbo's regiment from Shipai to Qianshan to assist in defending the city. Everyone knows that even if a Hao Wenbo regiment is added, it is impossible to resist the incoming enemy, and it can only be blocked. Li Shengzong sent people to invite the village elders of Meicheng and asked them whether they would wait here for the royal paradise of the Japanese puppet army this time, or go to another place to temporarily escape the war. This time, the villagers in Meicheng no longer believed that the Japanese would be a good man and a woman, and began to flee in a swarm in the direction of Taihu Lake and Susong in the west. Li Shengzong and Yang Chuangqi, the commander of the 527th Regiment, discussed and decided that they must defend it even if they know that they can't defend it, and they must hold it for five to eight days, so that the Meicheng elders can leave safely, find a suitable shelter, and then evacuate the whole line.

Wei Zhigao was given the responsibility of delaying the Japanese attack.

Pang Fengqing Battalion is the unit brought by Wei Zhigao from the 528 Regiment, and it is also an expanded unit from the previous 1056 Regiment Engineer Battalion, in the 528 Regiment, Wei Zhigao has always served as the battalion commander, and to the 527 Regiment, Wei Zhigao served as the deputy regiment commander, and the previous deputy battalion commander Pang Fengqing was promoted to the battalion commander. This battalion has a rich foundation in engineering, and if the defense is second in the 176th Division, no one dares to admit the first. Pang Fengqing himself graduated from the engineering department of the Central Military Academy and is very professional.

Taking advantage of the three days that Peng Wu fought for his return, Pang Fengqing first used the * array to bury a large number of various colors * on the road leading to Meicheng at the mouth of the Anhui River, and with these, he trapped the Japanese army for two days. Two days later, the Japanese army approached the city of Meicheng, and the defenses on the city walls had been reinforced. With the engineer operation of Pang Fengqing's battalion, Cheng Wannian's battalion and Zhao Jin's battalion held hard in Meicheng for four days, after all the people of Meicheng withdrew, Hao Wenbo's regiment retreated to the west bank of diving to join the Peng Wu battalion, and used diving as a barrier to block the road of the Japanese army's westward advance, Yang Chuangqi led the rest of the 527th regiment to the north into Yuexi, relying on the mountain situation in the water roar, setting down the battlefield and blocking the northward advance of the Japanese army.

In the face of the menacing enemy, the 176th Division ordered that Qin Zhenyuan's 526th Regiment immediately reinforce the position of Hao Wenbo's regiment on the west bank of diving, and resolutely did not allow the Japanese army to dive westward. Strive to use the strength of four regiments to take down this aggressive Japanese puppet army.
