Chapter 4: Turning to War (16)

When the afternoon was close to evening, the 1055th Regiment and the 1056th Regiment came to Lin'an. At the same time, I received the news from Huang Bamei's inner line in Hangzhou again, and the Guchuan Infantry Brigade cooperated with the 114th Wing Infantry Artillery Squadron directly under the 114th Wing to advance westward, and there were no tanks and armored vehicles.

An infantry artillery squadron, an all-pack horse infantry artillery squadron, has three squads, each squad has two 70 infantry guns, 36 pack horses, 12 horse pack guns, other horse pack shells, 70 infantry guns, also called 92 type infantry guns, is a battalion field artillery that Japan began to develop at the end of the 20s of the 20th century, mainly to provide first-line fire support for infantry. With a total weight of 212 kilograms, it can be towed by mules and horses, can be carried by manpower, marching on mountain roads, can also be disassembled from people and horses, and in some rapid reaction units, it can also be towed by three-wheeled motorcycles. An infantry artillery squadron with a total of 122 people, consisting of fifteen people, including the main gunner, deputy gunner, ammunition man, and bombardier, is responsible for one infantry gun, six guns with 90 people, and in addition, there is an ammunition squad of 32 people. Except for the men of the ammunition squad with the southern fourteen pistols, the rest of the people except for the cannon are bare-handed.

As soon as Xu Ping's people arrived in Lin'an, they didn't have time to rest, so they were pulled by Li Baicheng in front of Mo Di, Li Baicheng heard that there were six infantry guns, and he was so happy that he forgot that his infantry guns played a major role in this Tianhuangping operation, but he was not satisfied, in his opinion, if there were more than ten infantry guns, it would be powerful enough to fight.

The artillery company has a car, they don't have to walk, Xu Ping's spy company doesn't have such a good life, and it is really hard to follow the infantry brothers step by step from Banbian Pavilion to Lin'an, but when I heard that there were six infantry guns, I also came to the spirit, and followed Li Baicheng to the front of Mo Di.

"It's tiring to fight continuously, can you afford to eat?" Mo Di asked.

Xu Ping smiled bitterly, if you can eat it, you have to eat if you can't eat it, you can't let go of these six cannons in vain.

Li Baicheng said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Later, our company will send a car to send the brothers of the spy company, let them sleep in the car, and when they wake up, they will go to Qingshanpu. ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "If I don't help him get these six cannons back, it is estimated that Li Baicheng will not pay attention to me from now on." ”

Mo Di smiled and said, "Since this is the case, let's work hard again." ”

Mo Di is a typical practitioner of the doctrine of mutual restraint of the army, in his opinion, the nemesis of the artillery that poses a huge threat to the infantry is Xu Ping, these chickens and dogs. The reason why the Japanese have repeatedly defeated the Chinese army on the battlefield is that they have tanks, artillery, and aircraft, and as for the Japanese infantry, compared with their own 1056 regiment, I am afraid that they are only slightly inferior. As long as the Japanese artillery is eliminated and infantry against infantry, an infantry brigade of the Japanese is not an opponent of the 1056 regiment, not to mention that there are 1055 regiments and 1038 regiments as helpers, and they can be cleaned up as much as they want. The most important thing is that they are in the light, we are in the dark, and if they have a advantage, they will not take advantage of the bastards, so let them suffer a dark loss first.

Tell Xu Ping that the spy company cooperates with the artillery company, the spy company is responsible for getting the cannon in hand, the artillery company is responsible for getting the cannon back, and as for the cannonballs, there is no one missing, and the artillery without shells is not as good as the broadsword of the 29th Army.

After Li Benyi's 1038 regiment had lunch, they set off for Qingshanpu in the lower reaches of Jinxian Lake. They walked for more than two hours to reach Qingshanpu, and tonight they camped in the mountains north of Qingshanpu, planning to intercept the enemy tomorrow in the area of Dogface Mountain by the Nanru River. Their job was not to hold back the enemy, but to delay the enemy's attack as long as possible, and at the same time to create the illusion that the Japanese were attacking them not by the regular Chinese army, but by Huang Bamei's rabble. And to make the Japanese feel that on the way to the west, there is only this one blockade, and after that, there is a broad road.

In the morning, Li Benyi, Huang Bamei and Mo Di three sat in a car from the Lin'an County Government, walked along the highway from Lin'an to Hangzhou for more than 30 miles, and looked at the surrounding terrain, this highway has been built along the Nantiao River, only at some river bends, only take a straight line to approach the road, the farthest distance between the stream and the highway is the dog face mountain, almost one kilometer, the stream bends a big bend here, and the highway is straight away.

Li Benyi's job was to destroy the Japanese ships transporting the baggage in this place, so that the Japanese army had to stop because of the robbery of the baggage. As soon as Japan stops, Li Benyi will be considered to have completed the task, and it is naturally good to be able to grab some supplies, but if they can't grab it, they will all sink into the water.

If the Japanese army does not stop, it is completely impossible to attack the 1055 and 1056 regiments with the equipment and ammunition they carry, if they stop, the initiative is in our hands, whether to let Xu Le and Liu Keji go piecemeal, or let Liu Bolong and Chen Zhengxin go to the front ambush, it all depends on their own happiness.

Li Benyi knew that his work was so simple, and he was a little disappointed, he followed the 171st Division to fight in Shanghai for several months, and he had never done such a thing. If it weren't for a trip to the Qiantang River in Fuyang, Li Benyi would really look down on this style of play, and if he followed his previous practice, he would definitely pull his troops up and see the real chapter with the Japanese.

In front of Huang Bamei, Mo Di described the benefits of this practice in detail, the biggest advantage is that his losses are less, and he can kill the enemy to the greatest extent, and the battle is not about how many enemies can be killed by one unit, but on the basis of protecting himself to the greatest extent, he has become a perfect part of the entire battle plan. With the increase in the number of troops, the Mobi also began to consider the overall interests, but his starting point and landing point were very different from those of the General Staff of the Central Military Commission, and the General Staff Department won a total victory at every turn at the expense of certain units, while the Mobi did not have so many people to sacrifice, so he could only make a fuss about space and time and strive to obtain the greatest benefits.

Huang Bamei understood, nodded vigorously, Li Benyi thought for a while, although he didn't understand very well, he still agreed to do it, he knew that Mo Di's brain was enough, ten years ago in Nanjing, Mo Di dared to fight with a dozen or so people, and finally he could clean up the other party, ten years have passed, the more he fights, the more he has level, and it will not be wrong to listen to Mo Di.

Found a sheltered ravine on the dog-faced mountain, Li Benyi's people made a temporary camp, with a Japanese-style coat, a Japanese-style military uniform, and a Japanese-style steel helmet on the outside of the only national army hat that could show identity, and some soldiers also used the fart curtain on the Japanese hat, these two rags have a great effect, they can shade the sun in summer and block the wind in winter. With the quilt, as well as the big scalp shoes on the feet, and the bonfire, this night was not very difficult, they experienced the winter swimming of the Qiantang River, and walked more than 100 miles barefoot in straw shoes, compared with that difficult environment, staying up for a night or two is nothing. When the day dawned, after eating a hot porridge and sending steamed buns, the soldiers became vigorous again.

After finding a small bridge to cross the river, Li Benyi's men left the highway and went to the opposite bank of Nantiaoxi, where they set up positions on the north bank of Nantiaoxi's big bend in Dogface Mountain, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese baggage boats. In order to guard against the long distance between the Japanese baggage ships, Li Ben made the ambush position relatively long, and arranged a sniper port on the bank of the river of about 200 meters.

It was not until noon that the Japanese procession appeared at the mountain pass to the east.

It wasn't until the Japanese infantry disappeared from the western side of their eyes that they saw about twenty small boats slowly coming up from the downstream.

"Regiment commander, it's a civilian boat, and the Japanese army is collecting a small boat from our people." The commander of the first battalion of the 1038th Regiment said to Li Benyi: "Regiment commander, what should I do? If we don't do it well, we will injure our people by mistake. ”

Li Benyi also felt that it was a bit tricky, and he could not accept that he had hit the Japanese and hit our own people.

"Let's see how many Japanese there are on a boat." Li Benyi said: "If there are not many Japanese, we will find a way to beat the Japanese to death, and then shout and let the people dock the boat to our side." ”

The ship got closer and closer, and when I saw it clearly, I realized that the problem was not as difficult as I had imagined before, except that the first boat and the last boat were escorted by Japanese, and the boats in the middle were all boatmen. The boat is not lightly loaded, the draft is not shallow, and the boatmen are struggling to support the boat, and the long penny is deeply inserted into the water. There were not many Japanese escorting the boat, there were about a dozen on the first boat, and about a dozen on the last boat. The river breeze was cold, and the Japanese all sat in the boat with their guns in their arms, motionless.

"Try to choose some brothers with good eyes to shoot, and it is better not to hit the common people who are holding the boat." Li Benyi said. He is a sharpshooter, and there are many sharpshooters under him, and they are all veterans who participated in the Battle of Songhu, and it is not difficult to make do with hundreds and eighty gunners with accurate heads, but to deal with twenty or thirty devils, several guns are aimed at one, in principle, after the gun is fired, it is difficult to leave a living mouth. It is precisely because of Li Benyi's good marksmanship that he has become the regiment that survives the most in Chenjiaxing of the 171st Division, and Zhou Zuhuang, the commander of the Seventh Army, once praised the 1038th Regiment as a sharpshooter regiment, for which Li Benyi is full of pride.

Soon, the fleet entered Li Benyi's ambush circle, Li Benyi picked up a 38 rifle, and the crosshair put on the Japanese who was sitting on the bow of the boat in the guise of a small team leader, the Japanese at the end of the three o'clock line were not very old, expressionless, worried, sleepy, with a war knife in his hand, like crutches on the bow of the ship, he did not expect that his death day was today. Only one gunshot was heard, and Li Benyi's bullet accurately hit the right temple of the Japanese squad leader, passed through the head, and went out from the other side, taking away a skull the size of a fist.

With the gunfire of Li Benyi, there was a burst of gunfire on the north bank of the stream, and after the gunshot, there were two boats, one end and one tail, except for the captain who was still standing in the bow of the boat, and there was no one alive. He had never seen such a scene, his knees were shaking, and his crotch was already soaked.

I only heard someone on the north shore shouting: "Robbery, if you want to stay alive, bring the boat over." "It's an authentic local accent. The captains heard it very clearly, and knew that it was the words that came, and hurriedly docked the boat, and they understood that it was the robbery of wealth that would not cost them their lives.

Li Benyi walked to the first boat, picked up the war knife in the hand of the Japanese squad leader before, and pulled out the blade, the cold light was pressing, it seemed to be good, and he was going to take it back for Mo Di to see, and evaluate whether this thing was a good thing.

The so-called number of people is powerful, about 500 people, three times and five divided by two, to carry the things on the ship cleanly, whether it is in boxes or bags, whether it is food or ammunition, shouting, scattering their legs and running up the north mountain. These people in the 1038 regiment are all poor and scared goods, and they are not willing to throw away even a grain of rice when they get the materials in hand. What's more, I had a previous conversation with Mo Enemy, and whoever got it this time will be owned.

A brave boatman asked, "Are you all good men on that road?" ”

is still the same voice as before: "We are Huang Bamei's team, Commander Xie's loyal and righteous salvation army." ”

The boatman sat on the bow of the boat and scolded: "The goddamn smoker Xie Yousheng, the Japanese dare to kill, and the Japanese dare to rob things." ”

An answer came from afar: "We, Commander Xie, kill the Japanese." ”

The general worker took a sip, Xie Yousheng, fuck your mother, you are so happy to grab the dog, and let us not live on the boat!
