Chapter 11: Wild Supplement (86)

When it was finally time to finalize, Tan Heyi of Tianlong Pass was a little excited, strictly speaking, he had been in excitement since yesterday. Yesterday, Su Zuxin, commander of the 48th Army, was finally in place, and the military headquarters was also moved from Mabu to Shengoupu, and Major General Yan Sengwu, deputy commander of the 138th Division, was transferred back to Nanning to replace Su Zuxin as the commander of the 135th Division. The arrival of Su Zuxin brought two pieces of news, one is that all the Japanese troops in Guinan have withdrawn from China and entered Vietnam from Pingxiang, Longzhou, and the year-long Guinan operation has come to an end. After more than three years of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army did not gain any advantage only in the battle in southern Guinan, and also lost troops and lost its reputation. The second news is that a rumor has been confirmed, the commander of the 176th Division, Zheng Cangrong, was promoted to the 5th Theater as a lieutenant general, and the commander of the 176th Division was temporarily replaced by Deputy Division Commander Tan Heyi. Mo Enemy transferred Kazuo Aoki out of Meicheng, Yang Chuangqi and Qin Zhenyuan joined forces to attack, Meicheng must be won, take Meicheng, Tan Heyi will be able to go home and take office. All this may happen today, how can General Tan Heyi not be overjoyed.

Before leaving, he sent a telegram to the 176th Division, resigning from the post of director of the Political Department of the 176th Division, and recommending Jiang Chunyang, deputy commander of the 526th Regiment, to take over. The post of director of the Political Department of the 176th Division was previously concurrently held by Tan Heyi, but now that he is acting as the deputy division commander, it is not suitable to concurrently serve as the director of the Political Department, otherwise there will inevitably be too many part-time jobs.

Jin Tongxuan smiled and said to Tan Heyi: "It's really a blessed person who doesn't need to be busy, Jiang Chunyang is in Duxiu Mountain, and he has been promoted to the next level unconsciously!" ”

Tan Heyi laughed and said, "This is your Boss Mo's previous recommendation, I have no way to get Tianzong up, and I don't try to recommend some of his old brothers!" If it weren't for the suspicion of digging corners, I really wanted to pry Tong Xuan up to be the chief of staff of the 176th Division. ”

Jin Tongxuan laughed and said, "Stop, stop, I won't go." I don't have enough qualifications, and I can only be a staff adjutant when I go up, I have no power and no substance, and I am not free, so I might as well be comfortable in the field regiment. ”

Tan Heyi shook his head and said, "I will try to propose to the group army again, and Tianzong will be the deputy commander of the 176th Division." ”

Jin Tongxuan put away his smile and said with a straight face: "Master Shizuo, don't bring it up, our regiment commander can't go to this position, if the division has a heart, arrange for our regiment commander to go to the Central Military Academy for further study as soon as possible, and only after coming back can we logically go to the next level." ”

Tan Heyi sighed, Yu Yu will learn, and he will really insult talents!

Jin Tongxuan arranged a car, drew a platoon as Tan Heyi's guard, from Tianlong Pass to Yezhai, it takes most of the day to walk, the car is only half an hour, the master should have fish to eat, and there is a car.

Standing by the door of the passenger cab, Tan Heyi asked Jin Tongxuan: "Tongxuan thinks that it is better to attack Meicheng on both sides at the same time, or to have one master at the same time." ”

"One master, one time, the main force of the 527th Regiment, Peng Wu Battalion, went to reinforce the Luo Wei Department of Duxiu Mountain, as well as Pang Fengqing Battalion and Cheng Wannian Battalion, in addition to the two battalions of the 527th Regiment, there is also the Wu Tinghuan Battalion directly under the division headquarters. After the division arrived at the Yezhai, he could hold the defense line of the Yezhai with Wu Tinghuan's battalion, and the head of Yang Chuangqi led the troops to attack Meicheng. As for the 526th Regiment west of the dive, the noble selection camp is far away in Duxiu Mountain, as well as the Lan Daigang Battalion and Li Shuyu Battalion, so that Commander Qin Zhenyuan can lead a battalion to hold the defense line of the hidden mountain, and another battalion can be sent to assist in attacking Meicheng. Jin Tongxuan said: "Qianshan Meicheng is the 527 regiment defense area, lost from their hands, should also be taken back by them, after occupying Meicheng, the 527 regiment headquarters immediately returned to Meicheng, before the loss of the city, and the merit of the city, can be offset by two." ”

Tan Heyi nodded and boarded the car.

Tan Heyi knew that Jin Tongxuan didn't want Yang Chuangqi and Qin Zhenyuan to take too much advantage, and it was mainly the field supplement regiment that stirred up the Japanese army in the Huaining Qianshan area, so there was no need to give such a big credit to Yang Chuangqi, and Qin Zhenyuan would not be allowed to get involved in Meicheng, naturally he didn't want him to get credit, and if Yang Chuangqi was the main siege of the city, he wanted him to offset his merits. This Jin Tongxuan is not shallow in his scheming, so that after the war, the great merit will definitely be concentrated in the field supplement regiment. Although he is invincible and has a light name, he can see that his subordinates may not be able to do the same.

When they came to Yezhai and talked about the current situation, the cadres of the 527 Regiment were first shocked and then delighted, they knew that Peng Wuying went to Duxiu Mountain to reinforce, but they didn't expect that Luo Wei was still under him, luring out the Japanese puppet army in Meicheng and letting himself occupy this empty city. The Military Command Department stipulates that the reconquest of lost territory is a great achievement, and it seems that the first credit in this battle of Meicheng should be the 527th Regiment. Yang Chuangqi was very excited, personally poured a cup of tea for Tan Heyi, walked in front of Tan Heyi, and was about to swear to tell Tan Heyi to resolutely complete the task, but heard Tan Heyi snort lightly in his nose and said: "This is a shameful battle, the 527 regiment should be cautious, a month ago, Meicheng was lost in the hands of the 527 regiment, today, Meicheng should also be recovered by the 527 regiment, and the 527 regiment needs to use this battle to show the people of the whole country their willingness to resist the war and combat ability." ”

Hearing Tan Heyi's words, Yang Chuangqi froze for a moment, the water in his hand almost spilled, and he almost forgot that Meicheng had fallen before, and the 527 regiment had a fault, so it was only by taking Meicheng back that the merits could be compensated. Yang Chuangqi has always believed that the fall of Meicheng before could not be regarded as the responsibility of the 527 Regiment, the question is, if it is not the responsibility of the 527 Regiment, whose responsibility is it! Wei Zhigao, deputy of the regiment, saw the head of the regiment's thoughts, he took the cup from Yang Chuangqi's hand, put it in front of Tan Heyi, and said: "Please rest assured, the 527 regiment will definitely go all out to take Meicheng, and it will be shameful." ”

In Meicheng, there is only one Japanese infantry brigade and a puppet military camp, before the news of the attack on the small market, Aoki Kazuo can only let the Japanese puppet garrison facing Pingshan and Shipai in the south to transfer some people and horses to go, the reason why the people and horses of Meicheng are not moved, because the people and horses of Meicheng have been slightly thin. looked at the Anqing reinforcements, thinking that with this support army, he could wave his army to the north, occupy Yuexi, and open a way to infiltrate into the depths of Dabie Mountain, but he didn't expect that this support army had already arrived at the three bridges, but he was transferred back by the other party. During this time in Meicheng, he deeply felt that he seemed to be playing Go with a master, being taken first by the other party everywhere, being controlled by others everywhere, first the stone confrontation, followed by Yujing's attack and defense, the small city was attacked twice, and the logistics supply channel of Huangdun was blocked, every time he hit his weakness, every time he hit his own toothache, and every time he had to respond.

An ambush in Yangjialing ate a complete artillery squadron, escalating the battle and prompting the Anqing headquarters to reinforce on a large scale. Just when he dreamed that the situation of the war would change and his passivity would turn into his initiative in an all-round way, early this morning, he received a telegram from the Anqing Brigade Headquarters, saying that a large number of Chinese troops had appeared in Anqing City, burning down the airport, breaking the prison, and fighting a bloody battle with the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 131st Wing, the most powerful force in Anqing City, at the Shitang River, which had the potential to overturn Anqing City. In desperation, the reinforcements who had already arrived at the third bridge were transferred back in case of a fire in the backyard.

From the beginning of knowing that the reinforcements were withdrawn, Aoki Kazuo's mood was very low, near noon, a telegram made the depressed Aoki Kazuo have to cheer up, the telegram is very clear, the retreating troops were ambushed in Serpentine Ridge, the opponent's fire is fierce, the battle is very fierce, the commander of the Kiyono Brigade telegraph asked Aoki Kazuo to reinforce Duxiu Mountain as quickly as possible.

Kazuo Aoki thought about it for a long time, discussed it with Liu Maizai for a while, and decided that Kazuo Aoki would secretly go out of the city with the Japanese infantry brigade to reinforce without alarming all aspects.

Although Liu Maizai knew that this strategy was unreliable, he still agreed, after all, wearing a full set of Japanese-style clothes is the dream of every peaceful founding army, in fact, their big-brimmed hats look much more magnificent than the small pointed hats of the Japanese army.

Kazuo Aoki did not dare to delay, immediately led the troops out of the city from the east gate, trotted towards the Wanshui pontoon bridge, from Meicheng to the Serpentine Ridge is twenty kilometers, the fastest also takes four hours, he does not know if he can smell the smell of gunpowder in the air when he arrives at the Serpentine Ridge, but the military order is like a mountain, he can not disobey. He believed that the Chinese troops in Huaining, Qianshan, had all been concentrated in Serpentine Ridge, so they did not take precautions along the way, and demanded that they should travel as lightly as possible and as soon as possible. It seems that in addition to the Red Army, which can skip meals in order to fight, there are also small Japanese bantam armies that can also do it.

The battle of Serpentine Ridge has entered a white heat, and the front of the Japanese army, which had already highlighted the ambush circle, saw that the Chinese army was trapped and struggled to rescue it, but it was blocked by Peng Wu's department, which rushed immediately, and the two sides fell into a bloody battle. Jiang Chunyang left Zhang Shenghu's troops to guard the prisoners, and he took the Seventh Company, the Ninth Company and Zhang Changwu's troops to quickly reinforce the Peng Wu Division. The two battalions were horns of each other, and they were able to withstand the Japanese army's desperate counterattack.

Faced with the predicament, Luo Wei was anxious and restless. Long Yingyun's battalion, Zhong Liang's battalion and Liu Wukui's troops surrounded the Japanese military headquarters and were at ease, but in order to transfer the Japanese army out of Meicheng, they could not attack with all their strength. The fierce battle between Jiang Chunyang and Peng Wu and the Japanese army was a field battle on an equal footing, with no time and no advantage, and the two sides fought for their lives, and the casualties surged.

Finally, he waited for a telegram from Mo Enemy, and the Japanese army appeared on the other side of the pontoon bridge. Luo Wei breathed a sigh of relief and gave orders to Long Yingyunying, Zhong Liangying, and Liu Wukui's subordinates. Makqin, who had been silent for a long time, had already adjusted to the most suitable position, and all the grenadiers also formed their own attack positions, and with Luo Wei's order, all the grenadiers hoisted the shells into it together, and the five Makqin let out a terrible roar, and the bullet hit point was like five plow marks, sweeping towards the Japanese puppet army surrounded in the middle of the canyon. Luo Jifen, the commander of the 11th Brigade of the Peaceful National Construction Army, was hit by a Makqin machine gun, and before he could make his last scream, he died with a whimper. Miyamoto Nakasa, the chief of staff of the 131st Wing of the Japanese Army, who led the team, was stunned, seeing that there was no way out, and directly inserted the command knife in his hand into his belly.

Cleaned up the encircled Japanese puppet army as quickly as possible, leaving Long Yingyun's battalion to clean up the battlefield, Luo Wei ordered Zhong Liangbu and Liu Wukui's troops to kill the Japanese army returning to the east as quickly as possible.

The eastern defense line was already very dangerous, Peng Wu and Jiang Chunyang were very difficult to block, more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, Zhang Changwu saw such a cruel battle for the first time, and he was extremely excited, and was hit in the right shoulder by a bullet, unable to move.

Liu Wukui's department rushed to the front with twelve crutches, and the biggest advantage of crutches was that they could charge with their hands and shoot while running. When the Japanese were working on this machine gun, they demanded not only the ability to charge, but also the ability to load bayonets for white-knuckle combat. It's a bit unrealistic to fight bayonets with crutches, but it is very effective to charge, and when twelve crutches appear on the battlefield and the dense bullets begin to sweep, the Japanese troops who had not attacked before began to retreat!

Luo Wei stopped the troops who were going to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and we have completed the task, there is no need to cause greater losses, so that the battlefield will be transferred to Meicheng and Wanshui.
