Chapter 464 Japanese ambush!(1/2)
"Let the 227th Regiment ambush the Eighth Route Army?" Jingguan Ren leaned on the Lieutenant General's command knife and his expression changed.
"Yes, division commander!" Ishiguro Sadazou paused and said, "We can also make the soldiers pretend to be embarrassed and abandon their helmets and armor to paralyze the unwary Eighth Route Army!"
"What do you mean?" Jingguan Ren asked, "Let the soldiers throw away some of their baggage and even their weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army?"
Ishiguro Sadazou nodded and said: "Yes, division commander. In this way, the Eighth Route Army must think that our soldiers also know about the affairs of the 225th Regiment and the 227th Regiment. Their courage will be frightened, and the Eighth Route Army will pursue us."
Fight fiercely. As long as the ambush troops let go of the pursuing cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army behind them will not send scouts to conduct reconnaissance. When the Eighth Route Army enters the ambush site, the 227th Regiment suddenly rushes out, catching the Eighth Route Army by surprise. With the combat effectiveness of the 772nd Regiment,
, it is an ambush situation again, fully capable of defeating or even annihilating a division of the Eighth Route Army!"
Jingguan Ren was greatly moved when he heard this. The 36th Division's losses were too heavy. For all the remaining officers and soldiers of the 36th Division, a big victory was needed.
Not only the 36th Division, but the entire First Army needed a big victory to stabilize the morale of the army.
After hearing what Ishiguro Sadazou said about defeating or even annihilating a division of the Eighth Route Army, Iseki Ren's expression was greatly moved.
"It seems that Ishiguro-kun has already made a plan." Iguchi asked, "Where is the best place to ambush?"
Ishiguro Sadazou pointed to a location on the map between Liao County and Heshun County and said: "Division Commander, I have already scouted the terrain in this area before coming here. This place is called Machigou. The terrain is very dangerous.
There are hillsides on both sides, and the Heliao Highway passes through the middle, allowing the 227th Regiment to ambush the Eighth Route Army on both sides!"
"Yo Xi!" Jingguan Ren nodded and then ordered, "Stop!"
The driver suddenly stepped on the brakes, Iseki Ren and Ishiguro Sadazou leaned forward slightly, and then the armored vehicle stopped on the side of the road.
Ishiguro Sadazou hurriedly opened the car door, stretched out his hand to protect the top of the door, and Inoseki Ren stepped out of the car.
Japanese soldiers passed by the armored vehicles in a steady stream, and communications staff Chiba Matsutaro and several other staff members followed Iguchi Ren on horseback.
When Jingguan Ren got out of the car, several staff officers and Japanese guards stopped immediately.
"Chiba-kun!" Iguchi Ren said, "Go and invite Colonel Suzuki here!"
"Hi!" Chiba Matsutaro nodded, then turned the horse's head and galloped back.
Then Iseki Ren and Ishiguro Sadzo took the map and studied it. About 3 minutes later, Chiba Matsutaro and Suzuki Nagai, who wore the rank of Colonel, came on horseback.
Suzuki Nagai is a middle-aged Japanese military officer in his forties, with a calm and wise look on his face.
"Hey!" As they approached Inoseki Ren and Ishiguro Sadzo, Suzuki Nagai immediately reined in the reins.
He turned over and dismounted, then walked towards Iguchi Ren and Ishiguro Sadozou, paused and said: "Division commander! Chief of staff!"
"Suzuki-kun, are you here?" Iguchi said, "Ishiguro-kun and I are formulating a plan to ambush the Eighth Route Army, and we are going to leave this plan to you for execution!"
"Hi!" Suzuki Nagai immediately expressed his stance, "Suzuki United will definitely complete the mission!"
"Yo Xi!" Jingguan Ren nodded with satisfaction, "I feel relieved to leave this task to Suzuki-kun."
At this moment, four trucks loaded with soldiers with live ammunition drove by.
These four trucks were not loaded with Japanese soldiers, but with the Wolf Fang Squadron that had infiltrated among the Japanese soldiers.
The Japs' 94-type truck was not big, and a dozen or so people in one truck seemed crowded, so there were no Japs trying to get on board.
Duan Peng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately saw Jingguan Ren wearing the rank of lieutenant general on his collar.
Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and resisted the urge to take out his gun and kill Jingguan Ren.
Jingguan Ren, who seemed to be feeling something, turned his head and glanced at Duan Peng. Duan Peng's expression remained unchanged and he raised his hand to salute Jingguan Ren with a military salute.
Jingguan Renchong nodded slightly to Duan Peng, then turned away, his expression as usual without any doubt.
Jingguan Ren continued.
"Suzuki-kun, order your soldiers to discard about a squadron's worth of weapons, ammunition and part of the baggage."
"Pretend to abandon your helmet and armor in order to make the generals paralyzed and careless!"
"Division commander!" Suzuki Nagai said hesitantly, "A gun is the second life of a soldier. Throwing away a gun is something that has never happened in the imperial army. Will the Eighth Route Army be fooled?"
"Just because it has never happened before, it has an unexpected effect!" Ishiguro Sadazou said, "The pursuing Eighth Route Army will definitely be dazzled by victory when they see the weapons and ammunition on the ground."
Jingguan Ren smiled contemptuously and said: "The Eighth Route Army has just eaten the 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment. They must also think that the remaining officers of our 36th Division have been frightened."
"Nani?" Suzuki Nagai exclaimed, "The 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment were eaten by the Eighth Route Army?"
"Baga!" Jingguan Ren's face darkened and he yelled, "Suzuki-kun, do you think all the soldiers know about this?"
It took Suzuki Nagai a while to digest the news, and he paused with a look of disbelief: "Hi!"
After a pause, Suzuki Nagai asked: "Division Commander, where should we set up an ambush?"
Jingguan Ren pointed at the map: "Machi Valley!"
"Hi!" Suzuki Choyington said first, "The Suzuki Regiment will definitely live up to the heavy responsibility of the division commander and will definitely avenge the 225th Regiment and the 226th Regiment!"
"Don't talk about revenge, you are killing enemies for His Majesty the Emperor and fighting for the Empire of Japan!" Iguchi Ren's face darkened when he heard this, and he got angry when he mentioned revenge. In order to avenge Lieutenant General Shinozuka, his two allies
The whole team got in.
At this time, Jingguan Ren suddenly remembered that the years during the siege of Zhongtiao Mountain were much better than those during the siege and sweep of the Eighth Route Army base area.
"Hi!" Suzuki Nagai paused again, "Kill the enemy for His Majesty the Emperor and fight for the Empire of Japan!"
After finishing speaking, Suzuki Nagai turned around, climbed on his military horse, and rode away.
…
At the same time, outside the county seat of Liao County.
Chief Chen, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Wei Dayong gathered together to discuss the next step.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yunlong analyzed: "The reconnaissance cavalry reported that the Japanese escaped to Heshun County in the northeast!"
"Up to this time, the reconnaissance planes have not discovered the artillery regiment of Jingguan Division." Wei Dayong said, "And since Jingguan Ren is so anxious to run back to Heshun County, I estimate that Jingguan Ren's artillery regiment should be in Heshun County.
."
Ding Wei also said: "Once the Japanese infantry regiment and artillery regiment merge, it will be difficult to deal with it. Unless the 11th Brigade is transferred over, there may be some chance of victory."
"What are you afraid of?" Kong Jie said, "Every nail in our independent brigade has been driven into the enemy. Are we still afraid that we won't be able to capture the remnants of the Jingguan Division?"
"Yes, why did I forget the Langya Squadron?" Ding Wei suddenly said, "With the support of the Langya Squadron, this battle should be much easier to fight!"
Commander Chen then looked at Wei Dayong and asked: "Wei Dayong, how do you plan for the Langya Squadron to respond?"
Wei Dayong smiled and said: "Currently, there are several options: bombing camps, beheadings, spreading rumors, and bombing arsenals. Which one do you like, chief?"
"Forget about blowing up the arsenal." Commander Chen said, "It just so happens that we have consumed a lot in this battle. If we can capture the arsenal of Jingguan Division, we can use the arsenal of Jingguan Division to supplement the logistics of our mobile column.
As for the other three, it’s best to have a three-pronged approach.”
"No problem!" Wei Dayong nodded, "I'll let the Langya Squadron carry out a four-pronged attack. We want them all, including bombing camps, beheadings, looting arsenals and spreading rumors."
Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "Chief, give me the order. Let's catch up and surround the old devil Jingguan Ren in Heshun County. Don't let him escape again!"
Commander Chen cleared his throat: "Give me the order, all troops will set off immediately, the target is Heshun County!"
"Yes!" Everyone stood upright, and then quickly gave the order to each unit to set off.
The special operations group was still the vanguard of the main force. Under the leadership of Wei Dayong, the special operations group entered the county from the south gate and then exited from the north gate.
After passing the North City Gate and trotting forward for about five or six miles, rifles, cans, marching pots and other items abandoned by the Japanese began to appear on the road.
In addition, there are crooked light machine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns, bullet bags and grenades.
Looking at the equipment they got for free, the soldiers almost burst into laughter and rushed forward. Whoever picked it up first would get it.
Political Commissar Yang Liqing narrowed his eyes alertly: "Old Wei, something is wrong."
Wei Dayong also noticed something was wrong, but still asked: "What's wrong?"
"The Japs military discipline is very strict. It is absolutely impossible for a Japs machine gunner to lose his gun just like that." Yang Liqing said, "The Japs machine gunner will be severely punished if he loses his machine gun. Look at this crooked weapon, he has lost three of his guns."
Yang Liqing shook his head and said, "Something's wrong, it's so wrong, there must be something fishy."
Wei Dayong raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Lao Yang, is there a possibility that this is a trick of the Japanese to make us suspicious? They are afraid that we will pursue them too closely, so they deliberately throw away guns to bribe us? Or they deliberately release smoke screens to make us suspicious and dare not pursue fiercely.
, so that they can escape.”
"None of them." Yang Liqing waved his hand and said, "When have you ever been afraid of the Japs? What's more, there are more than 5,000 Japs. This group of Japs has never fought against us. Everyone knows that they just throw away their armor.
There's something going on here."
Wei Dayong turned around and shouted: "Communication Corps, inform the forward scouts to strengthen reconnaissance!"
"Yes!" the scout shouted back, then rode forward and rode forward.
…
At the same time, 10 kilometers in front of the special operations group, the Japanese troops arrived in the Machigou area.
Several Japs were riding horses and running back and forth shouting.
"Officers and soldiers of the 227th Wing come out!"
"Officers and soldiers of the 227th Wing come out!"
"Officers and soldiers of the 227th Wing come out!"
"..."
