Chapter 13 Changing Guards (8)

If nothing else, today, Lujiang will face enemies on three sides.

Last night, Mo Di and Gong Qingyuan chatted while drinking tea under the shade of the willows in Dingjiachi, and made a detailed analysis of what might happen in the three-sided battle. For the southern front, there is Mobi direct intervention, and the brothers and sisters are opposed, Li Shigui is not an opponent in the school, and he is not an opponent in reality. As for the northern front, there are rivers as natural barriers, and there are more than a dozen red-coated cannons with old trees and new shoots to help in the battle, even if they can't repel the incoming enemy, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on. The only variable is the eastern front, for the eastern front where Li Benyi personally sits, the two discussed for a long time, and came to the conclusion that even if Li Benyi on Yefu Mountain continues to remain silent, Wang Zhanlin of Shengqiao can no longer continue to be silent, and the southern and northern lines have already started, and it is impossible that he, the protagonist, will not speak. The Eastern Front was the only battlefield where Japanese troops participated in the war, and the pressure on Li Benyi from a Japanese infantry brigade was far greater than that of a Jianguo Army brigade.

"We have two regiments, and the opponent has only one Jianguo military battalion and a Japanese infantry brigade, and in terms of numbers, we have the advantage." Mo Di said: "Since we are mainly defensive, there is no need for us to put all the two regiments on the combat surface, you must know that even if the Japanese infantry brigade does not have infantry artillery, it still has curved artillery, and the denser the personnel of our ambush position, the more people will be killed and wounded by the curved artillery." ”

Gong Qingyuan immediately understood what Modi meant, defending in motion is one of Modi's strongest killer skills, and he means that the defense of the 138th Division this time will also adopt the method of movement combat. He used to be the chief of staff of Mo's enemy, and he was completely able to accept and thoroughly implement Modi's combat method, but as the commander-in-chief, he didn't dare to guarantee whether he could accept it.

Early in the morning, Gong Qingyuan said goodbye to Mo Di, took the car prepared for him by the county magistrate Ling, rushed to Yefu Mountain, conveyed Mo Di's opinion to Li Benyi, and then turned to Sanhe, responsible for directing the northern line of Sanhe to intercept.

Gong Qingyuan walked for a while, and Mo Di also went to the county government to say goodbye to Ling Qianfeng, he was going to the mud bridge to meet Shi Chongbu. Taking down this batch of materials sent from Chao County is the key point of Modi's campaign, using all the cars in Yuexi, and the gasoline consumed is enough for Yuexi to use for a month, if you don't get some supplies back, it will be a big loss. In order to successfully complete the mission, he did not hesitate to ask Shi Zhong to bring a platoon of the Panlong Special Operations Company, carrying a green cylinder of phenylacetophenone gas*.

Just when the two people in Lujiang went north and the other went south, Li Shigui on the south road had already experienced three harassments that made him embarrassed and angry, and General Li Shigui had been in the army for many years, and it was the first time he encountered this kind of thing. In Hengshan, he learned countless guerrilla tactics, but compared with those in front of him, they were completely different.

Early this morning, Li Shigui's puppet 11th Brigade's march started very hard, because the harassment of the Huigong Palace continued uninterrupted from more than 10 o'clock in the evening to 4 o'clock in the second half of the night. From the time of the harassment at more than 10 o'clock, Li Shigui judged that this level of harassment was pure harassment and would not cause any substantial harm, because the harassment was very shameless, throwing a * every once in a while, or firing a grenadier canister, or even shooting ten shots without any purpose. However, it was this kind of harassment that did not hurt much that kept the officers and men of the puppet 11th Brigade awake all night, and when the order to set off the next day was given, the vast majority of them were still asleep in hard-won silence. In the midst of the officers' beating and kicking, the soldiers drew cold water from the well, hastily washed a handful of noodles, and then sent a few handfuls of dry food with cold water.

Looking at the soldiers who were completely devoid of spirit, Li Shigui, who was riding on a horse, was very worried, this kind of morale, not to mention fighting, even hunting is difficult, helpless, I can only pray to God to protect you, today is the same as yesterday, there is no harassment during the day, it is enough to let his troops go all the way to the mud bridge. However, when he first arrived, his patron saint was still in northern Jiangsu, and he did not come to Anhui, and his wish could not be realized, so he was harassed for the first time less than five miles out of the palace.

The puppet 11th Brigade walked very dullly, like a group of zombies, all of them lowered their heads, no one was willing to look up, some soldiers with better relations, supporting each other, were able to make some people in half marching and half sleeping, and everyone took turns to rest. The road to the north from the Ainomiya first passes through a low hill, which is mostly made of pine wood, but also some cedar, and there are few grain fields, and the road winds through the hills, and the road surface is smooth. In normal times, it is a pleasure to walk this way, because the trees on the side of the road will bring a fresh smell, and the swaying branches will stir the air, making people feel the cool breeze even more. It's just that today is different, smelling bursts of fragrance, the soldiers of the puppet 11th Brigade want to sleep more, and they can't wait to fall to the ground and fall asleep.

The former army walked out of this hill, Li Shigui breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of terrain, in the Tongdong Plain area, is a good place for ambushes, and there is no attack in this place, it is God to face.

Li Shigui's professional vision is not wrong, Luo Wei will not let go of such a good terrain, but he is not ready to ambush here, but to engage in harassment, so the way to deal with it is very different. Ambushed in Zhuwan was a company of Ouyang Jin's first battalion. When the vanguard of the puppet 11th Brigade walked under the nose of the company commander Luo Lianjin, Luo Lianjin was like being beaten with chicken blood, and his blood was full of blood. The next thing to walk was the Chinese army of the puppet 11th Brigade, a large wave of officers on horses, which made Luo Lianjin's hands itch more than once, beat the snake and hit the seven inches, and capture the thief first to capture the king, Luo Lianjin understands this truth. After enduring it for a long time, Luo Lianmian suppressed the idea of shooting at them, and the next battalion passed, waiting until the pseudo-28th regiment behind the palace arrived, Luo Lianjin knew that this was their dish.

Harassment, remember, this is harassment, not an ambush, you can't fall in love with war, you can't focus on annihilation, Luo Lianjin reminded himself again and again.

Luo Lianjin divided his troops into three tiers and arranged them, and in the limelight were three machine guns. One hundred meters behind is three hand cannons, and after three hundred meters is the infantry position, Luo Lianjin's idea is very simple, when the puppet army is about the same, first sweep it with a crutch for a while, and then retreat, when retreating, hand artillery cover. After that, the machine guns and hand guns crossed cover and retreated deep into the hills and woods, and if a small number of enemy troops were really coming, the infantry position would work, and if a large number of enemy troops were chasing, then the whole line would be retreated.

Contrary to Luo Lianjin's expectations, the puppet army was stunned by the first array of machine guns, and stood stupidly, watching the machine gun bullets burrow into the body, and then roll out with blood, and there was no idea of pursuing at all. After a while, I heard someone shouting, "Lie down, lie down." Then he quickly fell to the ground.

I thought I had escaped the machine gun fire, and I didn't want to get another shell from the hand cannon. The cannonballs are more lethal to the lying soldiers, but fortunately, there are not many cannonballs, and the puppet soldiers can only hold their heads and ask their ancestors to protect them, so that the cannonballs do not fall on their heads.

The battalion and the company retreated calmly, because there was no one to pursue, and the previous preparations were useless.

In the event of a sudden attack, be on alert on the spot. The march of the puppet 11th Brigade stopped, Li Shigui knew that the rear army was attacked, and knew that he was afraid that it would not be easy today, so he asked about the losses, and reported that 32 people were killed and 26 were injured, of which 8 were seriously injured, and he was afraid that he would not be able to survive today.

Dealing with the aftermath, it was delayed for an hour, Li Shigui looked at the sun, and knew that it was not possible to reach the mud bridge today, so he asked the adjutant to open the map, and tried to find a place where he could camp, and finally set his eyes on Luohe.

The 1st Battalion of the Puppet 28th Regiment, which had suffered losses in the harassment, was exchanged with the 2nd Battalion, which was closer to the Chinese Army, and the Puppet 11th Brigade continued to advance. Luo Lianjin used the walkie-talkie to pass the news to Tang Cen Sheng, the commander of the second company, and then looked at them.

Tang Yusheng didn't have any creativity, and in a place less than five miles away from Luo Lianjin's ambush, he made a * formation, used all the * of the company, and made a rope to pull the hair, and the soldier who pulled the rope hid in the old brick kiln not far away. Tang Yusheng estimated that the big explosion not far away would definitely affect the old brick kiln, and if it was not done well, the old brick kiln would collapse directly, and the soldiers of Rava would be buried alive.

The actual detonation was not as terrible as imagined, and the great earthquake was regrettable and the sound was like thunder, blowing up the leading battalion of the puppet 11th Brigade out of a large crater, and there was not a single live mouth within a diameter of more than ten meters, and the shrapnel and stones that flew out took care of all the people within a radius of several tens of meters. As for the old brick kiln in Lafa, a lot of bricks were shaken off and covered with flying dirt, but the bunkers inside did not help. After the explosion, the soldiers of Layfa came out of the bunker and peeked at the scene of the explosion.

Next is Lao Boliang's three companies, Lao Boliang is simple and will not be foolish, but he will still choose a good terrain, he chose a fork in the western area of Baidang Lake. From Zongyang to Lujiang, the Baidang Lake area is the only way, once you enter the Baidang Lake area, the complex terrain has become the most important factor in the battle, as for the small number of people, it can no longer explain anything. Li Shigui asked the guide, and the guide told him that if there is no boat, he can bypass the Baidang Lake area from the west, but some small river forks can't be bypassed, and if you are not careful, you will step into the swamp, and now after the spring thaws, the swamp is very annoying. Li Shigui has no boat, no choice, can only go around from the west, in this way, he has to walk about ten kilometers more, and no one knows whether he can reach the mud bridge at night.

The place chosen by Lao Boliang was the swamp at the end of the fork of the river, and he set up a position on the other side of the swamp, so that the machine guns in the company could concentrate there, waiting for the arrival of the puppet army. When the front army of the puppet army passed, the Chinese army appeared in front of him, and the officers of the founding army dismounted, because on the horse, the horse may sink at any time, and it is also for this reason that the officers survived a life, if they sit high on the horse, it is estimated that Lao Boliang's machine gun will take care of them first. With an order from Lauberian, the machine gun spoke. The puppet army cut a stubble like wheat, and the others did not wait for the order, and all of them lay down, and the horses, not knowing the danger, still stood, and immediately became the target of the machine gun. After the gunshot, Li Shigui's mount fell to his side and pressed heavily on Li Shigui's body.

Li Shigui pulled out the * on his waist and shouted: "Machine gun suppression, rush over." ”

The crooked handles of the puppet army rang out, and the crooked handles with superior numbers suddenly pressed Lao Boliang's limited number of crutches so that he couldn't raise his head, and I saw about a company of puppet troops, under the cover of machine guns, rushing towards Lao Boliang's position. However, after not walking a few steps, he got stuck in the swamp and couldn't move. Laughing profusely, he let the machine gun finish the magazine and calmly retreat from the trench.

After three harassments, the time reached noon, Li Shigui asked the guide how far he went, and the guide told him that he had walked about a third of the way, Li Shigui knew that he would definitely not be able to reach the mud bridge today, and as for how many times there would be this level of harassment after that, the gods did not know! This high-achieving student who graduated from the Hengshan Tour Cadre Class had nothing to do in the face of real guerrilla techniques.
