Chapter 11: Wild Supplement (87)
After Kazuo Aoki led the Japanese army to rectify a little on the west bank of the Anhui River, he walked on the pontoon bridge in small groups. He was very cautious, and first sent a team to the east bank of Anhui to search within 200 meters of the bridge, and confirmed that there was no ambush before letting other troops go to the bridge. The Japanese army is established, three squads are a squadron, a squadron of 54 people, a squadron of 180 people, there will be a squadron leader, some are junior ranks, some are captains, but each squadron, the number of squadron headquarters is basically the same, in addition to the squadron leader, there are executive officers, 3 sergeants, 4 health officers, officers' orderlies, division officers, and 8 communicators.
Shi Chong, who was holding a thirteen-year-old 6x telescope, counted the number of people without blinking, one squadron, two squadrons, and when the third squadron walked onto the pontoon bridge, he said softly: "Fire!" ”。 The communicator next to him immediately sent a signal to the artillery company not far away.
The four Type 92 infantry guns had already laid a solid position, and on the hillside about 400 meters away from the pontoon bridge, Liao Daartillery, the commander of the artillery company, carefully arranged the four Type 92 infantry guns. The barrel of the gun is condescending, and the barrel of the gun is facing the pontoon bridge deck downward, at a distance of four hundred meters in a straight line. Liao cannon fixed and fixed each gun position, checked and checked, aimed and aim, this is the first time to fire a gun in front of the regiment commander, it must be foolproof, don't lose the empty cannon and lose the adult. Receiving Shi Chong's signal, Liao Cannon was so excited that he almost urinated.
As the four 92 infantry shells hit the pontoon bridge deck, four huge waves broke out on the river, the pontoon bridge was immediately divided into two sections, all the Japanese troops on the bridge fell into the water, the pontoon bridge was pushed by the river, one section drifted to the west bank, one section drifted to the east bank, and the unimpeded Anhui water was suddenly cut into two sides.
Kazuo Aoki, who had already crossed the Anhui River with the second squadron and assembled on the east bank, was shocked, he did not expect that the Chinese army would dare to choose to move in this place, and it was done by shelling. In his opinion, if the Chinese army wants to block their reinforcements, they must blow up the bridge as soon as possible, and then rely on the advantages of the river to block them in the west of the river, and take advantage of their eagerness to reinforce them, and slowly torture them. This time, there was no armed attack before crossing the bridge, and Kazuo Aoki, who had successfully reached the east bank, breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, this Anhui water was crossed, and it was clear that there was no ambush here! Unexpectedly, this time the Chinese army adopted the method of attacking half-crossing, and this battle plan shows that the Chinese army believes that it has enough strength to be able to wipe out this part of the imperial army that has crossed the river.
Looking at the troops who had crossed the river around them, there were already two complete squadrons, and there was also a squadron and a half squadrons, plus their own wing headquarters and brigade headquarters, reaching more than seven hundred people, and if they wanted to eat the imperial army of seven hundred people in a reciprocal terrain battle, it was impossible for the other side to not have a division. Kazuo Aoki shouted, "Enter the fight!" ”
The Japanese troops were of good quality and immediately seized the terrain on the narrow river beach and counterattacked. Kazuo Aoki also grabbed the roots of the big tree by the river embankment for the first time, and used the river embankment as a combat bunker.
The expected infantry attack did not materialize, and Kazuo Aoki took out the thirteen-year-old six-fold telescope hanging on his chest to take a closer look at the terrain in front of him. On the east bank of the Anhui River, behind an embankment, there is an open land of about 300 meters, where winter wheat is planted and green seedlings are swaying in the wind. On the other side of the open field, there is a gentle mountainous area, and I did not see any trace of the enemy, only that the smoke of artillery fire came out about a mile from the mountainous area, and that was where the enemy's artillery fire was. Knowing where the opponent's artillery fire was, Kazuo Aoki had no choice, and without long-range artillery, the grenadiers carried by the infantry could not pose a threat at all.
Kazuo Aoki estimated well, and the invincible team was ambushed in this mountainous area. The main reason why the enemy adopted the combat method of attacking in half was to divide the Japanese army into two, distribute a large group of Japanese troops, and maintain a certain proportion on the east and west banks of Anhui Shui, not only to reduce the strength of the Japanese army in the east of Anhui so that Ouyang Jinbu and Shi Chongbu could eat it smoothly, but also to rationally arrange the number of Japanese troops in the west of Anhui so that when the 526th and 527th regiments attacked Meicheng, even if the Japanese troops left in Hexi returned to help, they did not have too much strength and could not pose a threat to the 526th and 527th regiments.
It's just that in this way, the difficulty of the ambush in Wanshuidong has increased. Shi Zhong said that Mo Di was asking for hardship, Ouyang Jin smiled Mo Di was the first to come first, Mo Di told the two of them, the Japanese army in the west of the Anhui River, how many people were killed, there was no index, and the surviving Japanese army, as long as they could go to Duxiu Mountain, let them go to reinforcements. Huang Yingyi said with a smile: "The boss has a good abacus, it is estimated that this group of Japanese soldiers walked to Duxiu Mountain, and the daylilies were cold!" You can only walk back to Anqing directly, which is called retreating without a fight. Ouyang Jin and Shi Chong both suddenly realized, patted Huang Yingyi's shoulder, nodded and left.
We have artillery, the Japanese army does not have artillery, and the initiative is in our hands. After Liao's cannon broke the pontoon bridge, he immediately shook the muzzle of the cannon and placed the bullet landing point behind the river embankment. There were four shells per round, and after three rounds, the Japanese troops lying behind the embankment were already suffering heavy casualties. Seeing that the Chinese army was only bombarded with artillery and did not take the initiative to attack, Kazuo Aoki believed that the number and offensive strength of the Chinese army were limited, and if there was time, it was completely possible to take the initiative to attack and defeat the other side. However, time was urgent, and reinforcements were the first priority, so he told his subordinates to go south along the river embankment, bypass the shelling area, and strive to get out of the battle as soon as possible, break the entanglement of the Chinese army, and reinforce Duxiu Mountain. As for the troops in the west of Anhui Shuixi, let them return to Meicheng and assist Liu Maizai in defending Meicheng.
Seeing the Japanese army moving downstream, a smile flashed across Mo Di's face, and at the end of the downstream embankment, Ouyang Jin was waiting for him. What made Mo Di very relieved was that it was not only Ouyang Jin's first battalion that was ambushed there, but also the third battalion and eight companies of Nong Ruyong, the newly added Huang Yingyi company, and five integrated companies, with a total number of far more than 600 people. If the Japanese army wants to pass through here, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die.
Careful preparation, the upcoming ambush, Huang Yingyi was so nervous that his buttocks were sweating, this kind of slaughtering ambush, the previous time in Yangjialing, the last time in Laolingtou, this time in Wanshuidong, each time it was more and more playful. Seeing the Japanese army gradually approaching, Huang Yingyi didn't dare to look anymore, turned around, turned his back to the sky, and gasped.
Ouyang Jin's ambush had not yet started, the 527 regiment's attack on Meicheng had been launched, and a huge explosion sounded from the direction of Meicheng from afar, not only attracting the attention of Mo Di, but also Kazuo Aoki, who was walking with his waist under the river embankment, was also frightened by the loud noise on the opposite bank, and he clearly knew that this was a serial set, and he was once again trapped. The ambush of Duxiu Mountain led itself out, the purpose was not to destroy himself, but to isolate himself from the east of Anhui, and the national army took the opportunity to take Meicheng!
I have to say that Kazuo Aoki's judgment was not bad at all, but it was just a little hindsight, because as soon as the Japanese army left Meicheng, Yang Chuangqi began to act.
Outside the north gate of Meicheng, a heavy dung truck rolled down after the four people pulled forward, and the smoky smell made the Japanese soldiers guarding the gate stay away, waving their hands, and letting the dung truck in. The people who push and pull the dung truck are these four people every day, but they have never seen their true faces, and the thick towel covers their mouths and noses, leaving only two bony eyes.
Wherever the dung cart went, the gods avoided it, and the people who came in and out saw the dung cart coming, and they all waited in the distance to let it go first. It's the same every time, when the dung truck enters the North City Gate Cave, it is the only car, and no one covers its nose and walks through the City Gate Cave until it goes far away. The dung truck creaked and walked to the middle of the city gate, and the wheel on one side actually fell out, and the car leaned to the side, unable to move. An empty dung bucket rolled down from the car, and although there was not much residual dung in the bucket, it was also sprinkled on the ground, making it stinky in the hole in the city gate.
"Hurry up and get the car away!" The Japanese soldiers at the door actually made a standard Chinese mouth, which made the surrounding crowd listen to it. Pay attention, this little devil is a fake, it is the puppet army of the second devil, although the hat has been replaced with a Japanese military cap, but the shoes are still the rotten cloth shoes of the puppet army.
There was no need for him to scream, but I saw four men carrying dung running out of the city, two of them screaming outside the city, shouting: "Run, it's going to explode!" ”
The people on both sides of the city gate cave followed the four dung bearers and ran away, and when they ran less than 100 meters, they heard a huge explosion in the city gate hole, and big stones flew over, but fortunately the people ran far away, and no one was hit. I only saw that after a puff of smoke, the bluestone city gate was gone.
At this time, a group of people rushed through from outside the city, roaring in from the blasted city gate, looking at the clothes, it was clearly the team of the national army. The leader is Cheng Wannian, the commander of the second battalion of the 527th Regiment.
As soon as he heard the explosion, Liu Maizai jumped up, rushed to the luggage and prepared horses, jumped on horseback, and rushed out of the east gate. The puppet army that saw the opportunity early followed Liu Maizai and ran out, and the sluggish puppet army could only stupidly watch Liu Maizai's horse go away.
Almost at the same time, the Li Shuyu battalion of the 526th Regiment also entered the west gate of Meicheng.
Except for Liu Maizai, who fled in the direction of Yujing with less than a hundred people, the rest of the founding army without exception became prisoners.
When the Japanese squadron on the west bank of Anhui River returned to the east gate of Meicheng because of the broken bridge, they were greeted by a dense collection of Czech machine-gun bullets on the city wall. The Japanese army flew into the sky, leaving dozens of corpses behind, and the rest fled south along the Anhui River.
Yang Chuangqi was very proud, made a simple ceremony to enter the city, rode a big horse, and entered Meicheng with his head held high. At the gate of the city that exploded, a reporter from the Central Daily took a photo of him in military uniform, holding his head high to the sky, smiling proudly.
Kazuo Aoki from the east of Anhui Shui, looking at Meicheng from afar, sighed deeply, and then shouted dejectedly to open the way and walk towards the junction of the river embankment and the hill. He believes that as long as he goes there, he will be able to get out of the entanglement of the Chinese army. However, Kazuo Aoki miscalculated again, and at the end of the embankment, he was attacked by a wild attack that was delayed.
"Hehehehehe, it's finally here!" Ouyang Jin smiled excitedly.
"First battalion commander, what should we do if the Japanese army doesn't come?" Huang Yingyi asked curiously.
"He didn't dare not come." Ouyang Jin said: "The whole main road is under the blow of the 92 infantry artillery, and only by bypassing the artillery position can we get rid of the artillery blow, go south along the river embankment, go around to the Li family's broken house, and you can also go to the third bridge, but the road is relatively small." Since there is a safe road, there is no reason why Captain Aoki should not choose. The most important thing is that if Boss Mo wants him to come over, he must come over, otherwise, with the firepower of Zhao Sheng'an's assault company and the artillery company, the Japanese will die even worse. ”
Outside the embankment, there was also the sound of explosions of the 92nd infantry shells, some of which hit the Japanese, blew up some stumps and broken arms, and some did not hit anyone, and the empty cannons were released, blowing up a cloud of dirt and splashing far away. Under the urging of the shells, the Japanese army walked very fast, and if they did not go, they would be bombed, and no one dared to slack off.
The morale of the Japanese army was completely lost, and they walked very heavily, and a shell from Liao's cannon made the Japanese army very angry. Since entering China, they have been the only ones to bomb China, and once upon a time, the host and guest changed and turned into the other side having artillery and being bombed themselves. The pontoon bridge was divided into two, and his infantry brigade was also divided into two, four squadrons, two and a half crossed the east of the river, and one and a half were in the west of the river, and the one that crossed the east of the river was almost a squadron of 92 infantry guns piecemeal, and then look at the imperial soldiers around them, except for the personnel of the wing headquarters and the brigade headquarters, there are only one and a half squadrons that can really fight, about 300 people, in addition to a large group of wounded soldiers, not only can not fight, but also need to be taken care of by people.
There is a very strange phenomenon in the war, that is, if the battle is smooth to the end, and if it is not smooth, it is not smooth everywhere, Aoki Kazuo personally experienced it this time, when the first gunshot of Ouyang Jin's ambush circle sounded, he thought almost at the same time that he might die here this time.
