Chapter 8: Guerrilla (16)
When the Japanese puppet army of Tianlong Pass set off, it was also the time when Huang Tianhua's 1056 regiment set off, the second battalion of Gao Guixuan had already rested for a day, as the front army, the guard battalion that had rested for most of the day became the Chinese army, Ouyang Jin's first battalion had just finished a battle and became the guard, and Ouyang Jin's together, there was also the huge baggage battalion of the 1056 regiment, this time to block, from beginning to end they had nothing to capture, as long as they took away tens of thousands of catties of horse meat. Ruan Dongsheng's artillery company stayed, cooperated with Zhong Dingnai's third battalion, and flanked the Japanese puppet army with Qin Zhenyuan's 1055th regiment, hoping to end perfectly.
Maybe because they were too tired yesterday, Ma Weixin's team walked much slower today, and the group of ghostly pursuers who were also walking slowly were mortals raised by their mother's parents and had limited physical strength. Two squads of more than 100 Japanese began to want to send out a force to pursue, but the puppet army was like a dead dog, with outward eyes and a yellow face, and there was a frame that would fall to the ground and die if they took two more quick steps, so they had to accompany the puppet army to start a leisurely patrol of the mountain, hanging far behind the 1051 regiment.
"Can you get in touch with Huang Tianhua?" Ma Weixin asked Chief of Staff Li Songde.
Li Songde shook his head, the telegram is not a telegraph, you can't play while walking, if you want to send a telegram, you have to prepare first, the hand-cranked generator must be installed, the telegraph must also be straightened, the telegram is all based on the feeling, and if you accidentally press it more, it will be all over.
Commander Wei of the 1051st Regiment said, let the confidential staff officer take the transmitter first, and we can organize a sniper attack and hold back the pursuing troops, so that the confidential department can contact the 1056th Regiment. Ma Weixin also felt that this suggestion could be considered, and then Li Songde spoke: "It's not impossible for us to turn around and snipe, but we are afraid that we will be stuck by the pursuers, and we can't run away if we want to." When Ma Weixin heard this, he hurriedly agreed, rejected Commander Wei's proposal, and shouted quickly, don't let the chasing soldiers stick to the trouble.
The soldiers of the 1051 regiment are all human spirits, and they know that whoever falls behind may be glued, so they began to use their last strength to run, and accidentally ran out of a high speed, not only Ma Weixin felt that he couldn't catch up with the horse, but even the chasing soldiers behind were a little powerless.
Li Songde asked the staff officers to take out the walkie-talkie left for him by Mo Di, and began to shout in two sentences of local dialect in the mountainous areas of northern Guibei, Li Songde is a native of Sanjiang, and he got himself a nickname called Du Liujiang, Huang Tianhua is a native of Ningming, and the Red Eighth Army was here to make trouble, and his most beloved second brother Huang Guangguang was the head of the Red Seventh Army, so he gave himself a nickname called the Red Eighth Army, so Li Songde's cry became: "The Red Eighth Army and the Red Eighth Army, all Liujiang called the Red Eighth Army." Ma Weixin, who heard it on the side, had a chill, what is this!
Called twice every half an hour, Li Songde didn't have much hope, he didn't expect to call until a little after noon, and actually let him call through, when he heard the familiar Sanjiang Yao words coming from the intercom, he was so excited that he almost didn't throw the intercom in his hand.
Huang Tianhua specially found a soldier who could speak Sanjiang Yao dialect to talk to Li Songde, what he was talking about, not to mention that the Japanese couldn't understand it, even if he didn't understand it himself, even if the Japanese listened to it, it would not be true.
Li Songdexing hurriedly told Ma Weixin that Huang Tianhua's troops had set off, and they were preparing to fight an ambush at the pass in front of Jiushan Village under the guidance of their guides. Ma Weixin patted Li Songde on the shoulder happily, his chief of staff is also quite good, and he can find Huang Tianhua in this way, not a straw bale.
With a destination, Ma Weixin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the lead and left without a dust.
At this time, the battle just started.
The Japanese puppet army experienced the ambush of Tianlong Pass, thinking that a series of harassment ended here, and the ambush party has been exposed, just so three axes, dance can not come to a flower, this to Yuexi, should be a smooth journey, thinking of arriving in Yuexi, money and wealth, official positions are done, a group of puppet soldiers are excited, and the steps under their feet are much faster.
Qin Zhenyuan's men were already impatient, and with the assistance of Wei Zhigao's engineer battalion, Qin Zhenyuan's ambush fortifications were very well done, not only could not see a little new soil for digging trenches, but also made a decent command headquarters. The 1055th Regiment still had more than 800 people left after the Battle of Huangmei, and this time they were all put on the front line, because Wei Zhigao said that the engineer battalion was used as a reserve army. Lan Shiyun's artillery battalion because there is a road, this time to ambush is much more magnificent, twenty Type 92 infantry guns, a rate of horse configuration, strong horses pull the light 92 type infantry guns, running fast. His artillery array had already been set up, and the test firing had been completed, so he waited for the Japanese puppet army to enter this area and immediately open fire.
With Lan Shiyun's artillery battalion, Qin Zhenyuan's confidence has grown a lot.
A tree fell on the top of the mountain in front of him, and Qin Zhenyuan knew that this was telling him that the Japanese were coming. Before, Qin Zhenyuan wanted to use the walkie-talkie to make a report, but was dissuaded by Wei Zhigao, the Japanese use the same walkie-talkie as ours, if they overhear someone talking with the walkie-talkie, even if they don't understand, they will know that there is an ambush nearby. Qin Zhenyuan looked at Wei Zhigao with great appreciation, this engineer battalion commander, he actually has such a strong sense of combat, it is really amazing, he has an impulse in his heart, he wants to ask the division commander to supplement this engineer battalion to his 1055 regiment, his regiment is basically close to full strength, as for Wei Zhigao, the position of chief of staff and deputy regiment commander, pick at will, no matter which one, the major on the shoulder is definitely replaced by a lieutenant colonel. The 526 Brigade is full of talents, when will it be his turn to be promoted to lieutenant colonel as an engineer battalion commander. When he came to Yizhou with Mo Di, Li Baicheng had already become the commander of the artillery regiment, with the rank of colonel, and Wei Zhigao was still a small major battalion commander, and he definitely wanted to go to the next level. Qin Zhenyuan made up his mind, and after this battle, he would first pull this engineer battalion to Yuexi. As for Mo Di, Qin Zhenyuan is sure that as long as he puts on the identity of a subordinate and asks for the support of his old boss, he will definitely not shirk as a person.
Soon, the Japanese puppet army appeared in sight.
"What kind of troops is this? Dog's day, the clothes they wore were similar to those of the Northern Expeditionary Army back then, but the hats were different, and there were steel helmets, hehe, the steel helmets of this group of people were different from the little devils, but they were similar to those of our Gui Army, which belonged to the French-style wide-brimmed steel helmets. Qin Zhenyuan handed the telescope in his hand to Wei Zhigao beside him.
Wei Zhigao took the binoculars and took a look, the enemy's front army was really different from the ordinary Japanese army, and said to Qin Zhenyuan: "This should be the legendary appeasement army, the army that helps the Dao." ”
"I don't know how effective it is? It's pretty fast. Qin Zhenyuan said.
The puppet army walked over, followed by the familiar Japanese soldiers, small shirts, big breeches, a fart curtain under the narrow-brimmed steel helmet, a 38 big cover on the shoulder, and a lap of legs swaying three times. That's right! Wei Zhigao laughed and said to the soldiers beside him: "Detonate!" ”
I only heard a deafening explosion, which was the * formation prepared by the Japanese army when it entered the engineer battalion, and the narrow valley was suddenly dusty, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sound echoed in the valley for a long time.
The Hanyang Shozhong on the slopes on both sides of the hill also shot down like splashing water, and the Japanese puppet army was driven to the east and west by the rain of bullets, and finally all of them were driven to the dry waterbed at the bottom of the ravine.
This is Lan Shiyun's shelling point.
The shells were like long eyes, and they all fell at the predetermined landing point, and the Japanese squadron leader was blown to pieces by the shells for the first time, and the pseudo-regiment commander saw that it was not good, and shouted: "If you want to live, run back quickly!" ”
The three or four hundred people who could still run immediately ran wildly along the road to and from the ravine, throwing away their guns, throwing away their guns, throwing away their cannons, and even throwing away their backpacks, steel helmets, armed belts, and long bayonets touching their thighs, and pulling them out and throwing them away. I only hated that my parents had two legs less, and they quickly ran out of the ambush circle.
"Zhong Dingnai's cleanup will clean up those who run away, let's just kill the ones in front of us!" Wei Zhigao said.
Qin Zhenyuan was overjoyed, pulled out the small pistol in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" Flying out of the trench, a war reporter had already photographed Qin Zhenyuan's heroic posture, with both god and form, quite the feeling of Zhao Zilong, who was a spear back then.
Separated from life and death, seriously wounded and lightly wounded, nearly 500 prisoners of war and corpses, made the war reporters shoot so unhappily, this battle was really happy.
The happier thing was behind, not long after, Zhong Dingnai's men escorted almost 300 people back, they only fired a row of guns, and the escapees all lay down, kowtowing vigorously, shouting for mercy. Zhong Dingnai made people see that the previous row of guns killed eighty people, and all of them who were still alive were here.
Ruan Dongsheng was suspicious of the troublesome prisoners, and the wounded were even more troublesome, so it was better to clean up one by one, and those kneeling on the ground even knocked their heads loudly, begging for mercy one by one. Zhong Dingnai thought about it, asked them to lift the wounded, return to the place where they were ambushed by the 1055 regiment before, and hand it over to Qin Zhenyuan, capturing this kind of thing, Qin Zhenyuan should be more interested.
is not only interested in Qin Zhenyuan, but also war correspondents, because there is actually a commander of the appeasement army in this group.
After Zhong Dingnai handed over the prisoner, he immediately took his leave and left. Wei Zhigao was also about to leave together, but was stopped by Qin Zhenyuan. Qin Zhenyuan agreed that Zhong Dingnai should return to the construction first, but Wei Zhigao could not go, he had to go to Yuexi to report to the division headquarters about the course of this operation, and some reporters witnessed that his fortifications and * formation played a very big role in this operation, and he would get the reward he deserved.
Wei Zhigao thought that he rushed over now, and there was no big deal, not to mention that there were three or four hundred captive soldiers and nearly a hundred captive wounded soldiers, and it was not possible to get these people to Yuexi by relying on Qin Zhenyuan's regiment alone, so he discussed a few words with Zhong Dingnai and agreed to stay.
Qin Zhenyuan was happier than having won a battle, he knew that Wei Zhigao would not want to run out of the palm of his hand if he stayed. With Wei Zhigao's more than 300 people, his regiment can restore the basic full strength of 1,200 people, and his position as the boss of the 525 Brigade will be unshakable.
Mo Di did not receive a telegram from Qin Zhenyuan, asking him for Wei Zhigao's engineer battalion, and he was moved by affection, understood reason, and threatened Mo Di on the grounds of not delaying Wei Zhigao's future, and Yun Yinglin, chief of staff of the division, also sent a telegram to Mo Di and asked him to cut his love. Because Mo Di has not seen the telegram, so there has been no reply, until January when he came to the staff headquarters of the 31st Army, he saw the telegram, although he was a little annoyed, but he still agreed to Qin Zhenyuan's request, gave Yun Yinglin enough face, and assigned the entire engineer battalion from the 526 Brigade to the 1055 Regiment of the 525 Brigade, and Wei Zhigao was appointed as the deputy commander of the 1055 Regiment.
