Chapter 79
Kill the chicken and the sheep
"Stop moving forward!"
Yue Weihan suddenly raised his hand and quickly passed the command to stop moving forward. In less than a moment, the troops that were moving forward rapidly along the highway stopped. The elite force was the elite force, and the order was absolutely prohibited!
"Tang Dashan!" Yue Weihan said again, "Immediately notify the battalion commanders of each battalion to come to my place for a meeting."
"Yes." Tang Dashan replied loudly and immediately ordered several soldiers behind him to go and notify him separately.
Soon, the commander of the 1st Battalion Cao Xinglong, the commander of the 2nd Battalion Chi Chengfeng, the commander of the 3rd Battalion Zhang Zhongyi, the commander of the battalion Li Yulong, the commander of the regiment Lu Xiufeng and the commander of the artillery battalion Niu Dagen rushed over, but Niu Dagen is almost becoming the battalion commander of the Baoshan regiment. Since there are no cannons in his hand, the people in the artillery battalion have started to work as a tutor.
"Now I order..." After several battalion commanders arrived, Yue Weihan directly ordered, "The 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion, and 5th Battalion ambushed on the left side of the highway, the 2nd Battalion, bayonet, and guard companies ambushed on the right side of the highway, and each battalion has bayonets. When the Japanese enter the ambush circle, they will immediately launch their attack formation and rush up to fight against them for bayonets!"
"Yes!" The battalion commanders of each battalion responded and immediately left separately.
Niu Dagen said unhappy: "Roun, where is our artillery battalion?"
"What's wrong with your artillery battalion this ambush?" Yue Weihan said coldly, "Stay well beside me."
Yue Weihan actually couldn't bear to leave these old artillery soldiers in the Artillery Battalion. There were not many national army who could shoot artillery, and even fewer were good at shooting artillery. The remaining 100 people in the Artillery Battalion were all seeds. Yue Weihan also pointed out that they would rebuild the artillery battalion and even the artillery regiment in the future. How could he let them fight bayonets with the Japanese?
As for ordering bayonets, Yue Weihan was also helpless.
The Baoshan regiment is short of nothing now, but ammunition is very short. Therefore, the Japanese must not let the Japanese exert their firepower advantage. Otherwise, even if the opponent is just a supplementary army, there will be trouble. What's more, if the war is stalemate, the Japanese will probably blow up all their supplies when they see that the situation is wrong. Then this time, all their efforts will be wasted!
"Royal seat, let's participate in the battle too? We want to fight side by side with the officers and soldiers of the Baoshan regiment!"
The battlefield reporters Zhao Xinyi and Zhou Bowen suddenly appeared in front of Yue Weihan. The two did not leave in the end and took the initiative to stay in the Baoshan regiment to continue the battlefield interview.
"You're not doing anything, stay here!" Yue Weihan turned around and left.
Let two reporters go to the battlefield to compete with the Japanese devils? What an international joke! These two treasures are really going to the battlefield. Not to mention fighting with the Japanese devils, people will have to protect them at that time. Wouldn't they help you?
...
On the road from Hexian to Jiangpu, a brigade of Japanese troops and a convoy were moving forward in a mighty manner.
This Japanese army and the baggage team were originally affiliated with the Kuozaki Detachment, but now the Kuozaki Detachment has been destroyed in Jiangpu, and even the military flag has been paid to the Kuozaki Detachment. The number of the Kuozaki Detachment has been confirmed to be revoked. This supplementary corps and baggage team have just been allocated to the 13th Division of Lieutenant General Ogisu by the Central China Front Army Command.
After receiving the telegram, Lieutenant General Ogisu immediately ordered the replenishment corps and the baggage brigade to march towards Uraguchi.
According to the reliable information provided by the Special High School Course, the Baoshan regiment originally entrenched in Jiangpu has already wandered towards Chu County, so there is no Chinese army from Hexian to Pukou, so there is no need to consider security. Moreover, the 13th Division has just experienced a bloody street battle in Nanjing, and the reduction of troops is quite serious and urgently needs to be supplemented.
Major Tanabe looked up from time to time and looked at the fields on both sides of the road, with a very serious expression.
Major Tanabe is the captain of the baggage brigade and the temporary commander of the accompanying replenishment brigade.
The so-called supplementary corps are not actually infantry corps in the true sense. This "corps" has no corps captains and corps headquarters, and even no brigades, squadrons and squads and other commanders and command agencies at all levels. To put it bluntly, it is actually a large group of reserve soldiers waiting to go to the front line to replenish field troops.
Such a supplementary corps has neither the supreme commander nor the grassroots officers, and has no combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Master Tanabe was very dissatisfied with the military order of Ogisu to establish a lieutenant general. It was too dangerous to march at night!
Major Tanabe was worried that he would be attacked by Chinese armed forces on the march. Although the division headquarters called to say that the most terrifying enemy, Baoshan Regiment, had fled towards Chuxian, this place was the territory of the Chinese. In addition to the Baoshan Regiment, there were other armed forces operating in the Jiangbei area, especially the guerrillas led by the Communist Party.
It really responds to the old saying, the more you worry about, the more you will come!
When Major Tanabe was worried, several rows of crisp gunfire suddenly sounded under the night sky ahead, and then there were bursts of shouts on both sides of the highway. When Major Tanabe turned his head quickly and looked out the window, he saw a large number of black shadows rushing out of the shadows on both sides of the highway, and the black shadows were holding bright bayonets in their hands!
"Baga, the regular Chinese army!" Major Tanabata saw the rows of bright bayonets and concluded that he had met the regular army.
Major Tanabe immediately ordered the driver to stop, opened the car door and jumped out of the truck, and said to the orderly soldiers who were approaching: "Order the squadrons to blow up the truck immediately, destroy all ammunition and supplies on the spot, and then send a report to the division headquarters. The replenishment corps and the baggage brigade were ambushed by the regular Chinese army on the way north..."
"Shisheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshe
Before Major Tanabe finished speaking, a grenade with blue smoke was thrown at his feet.
Shi Ji made a loud bang, and Major Tanabe and his orderly soldier were killed on the spot, and the left front wheel of the truck next to him was also cut by the fragments produced by the explosion.
As soon as Major Tanabe died, the entire baggage brigade immediately lost command.
The supplementary corps that followed the baggage brigade was already in chaos.
These so-called "village soldiers" actually only served two years of compulsory military service, and then retired and went home to get married and have children. Therefore, whether it was training intensity or combat will, it was completely incomparable to the active veterans of the seventeen permanent divisions. In addition, there was no grassroots officer to take charge of the command, so it became even more and more chaotic.
Such a reserve army with the same scattered sand faced an elite force like Baoshan regiment, and the Baoshan regiment was ambushed at night, and the two armies quickly got together and began to fight with each other. The Japanese army's firepower advantage was completely incapable of exerting, so the result was imagined. In less than half an hour, more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers were killed by Baoshan regiment like chickens and sheep!
According to post-war statistics, the Baoshan regiment suffered less than 500 casualties, and only about a hundred casualties were killed!
...
At this time, the convoy of the security camp was riding over Pukou and was heading towards the Fan River.
It was still the same truck. The platoon leader of the escort ignited a match and lit the cigarette held in his mouth.
In the carriage, the two soldiers who were squinting their eyes immediately opened their eyes, quietly touched the bayonet tied to the armed belt, and then began to squeeze towards the platoon leader intentionally or unintentionally.
The platoon leader of the carriage threw out the match, suddenly took off the cigarette from his mouth and handed it to the soldier next to him, saying, "Give it."
The other sleepy soldiers did not notice that their platoon leader was speaking not Mandarin, but Japanese. Of course, the platoon leader of the security camp could not speak Japanese. Of course, this was taught by Yue Wei. It was difficult for the officers and soldiers of the security camp to learn Japanese, but it was not difficult to ask them to force a sentence or two of simple Japanese.
The soldier sitting next to the platoon leader of the escort was very alert and opened his eyes wide at the moment, but the platoon leader of the escort car didn't care about these things at all. He snatched his big hand like a palm fan and pinched his throat. The other two soldiers also rushed up, and the shaky bayonet hit the soldier's heart and stabbed him viciously.
The same scene was staged at the same time on four other trucks. Although the five agents sent by the Japanese Special High School this time were elite agents and had strong anti-reconnaissance and disguise ability, unfortunately, they looked too alternative to sitting among a large group of white-faced Chinese soldiers, so they were easily seen through.
...
Colonel Watanabe's special operations brigade has always been behind the main force of the "Taoshan regiment", and the distance is always around five miles.
In the view of Colonel Watanabe, the whereabouts of Baoshan regiment have been completely locked. The 13th Division and the 18th Division are crushing from both east and west directions. Just waiting for dawn, the two main divisions will be able to form an encirclement of Baoshan regiment, and the special operations brigade can finally repay the last time of humiliation.
The leader of the vanguard team suddenly turned back and reported: "Your Excellency Colonel, the Chinese people suddenly stopped!"
"What did you say?" Colonel Watanabe frowned immediately and said, "The Chinese people stopped? Have they discovered any flaws? Did the agents of the Special High School Class send the latest news back?"
"Not yet." Second Lieutenant Takeda shook his head, "but I have sent someone to contact you, I believe there will be news soon."
"Yo Xi." Colonel Watanabe nodded and made another gesture. The special forces behind him immediately dispersed, and more than a hundred people quickly disappeared into the night and disappeared.
I waited for several hours, but no news was sent back.
It was not until dawn that Lieutenant Takeda hurriedly turned back and said in a furious voice: "Your Excellency Colonel, it's not good!"
"Tada-kun! Don't panic!" Colonel Watanabe's eyes were fierce and he said with murderous intent, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Second Lieutenant Takeda took a breath and said, "The Chinese people stopped last night and started camping. In order to avoid disturbing the Chinese people, we just monitored them from afar. Until five o'clock in the morning, there was no news from the people in the Special High School. I brought people close to the reconnaissance. It turned out that these Chinese people were not regular soldiers at all!"
"Haga!" Colonel Watanabe said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
"Although those Chinese people were wearing regular army uniforms, they were not regular army at all!" said Lieutenant Takeda, "Girl, I promise you in the name of the samurai that it is definitely not regular army!"
