Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 179

The combat mission assigned to the third regiment by the headquarters of the Xuebing Division is to stick to the front line and consume at least half of the opponent's brigade.There is no way for the division headquarters to make such an arrangement. Daliuhe town is only about 15 kilometers away from Wen'an County. If Daliuhe town falls, Wen'an will have no barrier at all and will face the artillery attack of the garrison troops.The Xuebing Division has just taken control of Renqiu, and the land reform policy has not been fully implemented. Under such circumstances, once Wen'an falls into a state of war, the people around Wen'an will inevitably bear the brunt of the impact, and the excellent work situation that the Xuebing Division has painstakingly established will inevitably come to naught. , This will also have an irreparable impact on future work.

Ouyang Yun, Li Tieshu, Ji Xingwen, Zhang Zhen and others discussed and discussed, and finally agreed to formulate this tactic that is a bit cruel to the soldiers: a war of attrition, and it depends on who can't hold on in the end and retreat first.

Because of the special geographical location and political map factors, it should be said that the cadet division still has certain advantages.The places controlled by the autonomous government, except Wen'an and the Huabeitun Garrison stationed in Tianjin, are directly "bordered", and the other places are surrounded by the "national army".If this kind of encirclement is well-intentioned, then the cadet division can completely hold on to Wen'an with all hands and feet, and fight a good battle with the "pseudo" garrison led by Doihara.

War of attrition is a taboo for military strategists, especially for local governments, one less person means one less strength.Forced to formulate such a strategy, Li Tieshu, Ji Xingwen and others were worried—their worries were justified. After experiencing the chaotic wars in the early Republic of China, they knew too well what is currently affecting the domestic situation.Regardless of the fact that the Xuebing Division came out of the 29th Army, it is the relationship between the son and the mother. The Xuebing Division and Ouyang Yun are both respectful to Lao Song and the 29th Army, but who knows what they are like Intentions.If both sides and the garrison army are defeated, and they come to reap the benefits of the fisherman, wouldn't the apprentice division disappear in the long river of history like a flash in the pan?
In this regard, Ouyang Yun should appear more confident.After all, knowing this history, he absolutely believes in the power of history.Although oil is a factor that can influence the current situation, the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident" will not happen until 1937 after all.

The air defense battalion was almost wiped out. Under the bombardment of the little devil's cannons, the soldiers of the [-]rd Brigade and [-]rd Regiment could only nest under the relatively firm soil of the North China Plain as "voles."Fortunately, these are not the decisive factors of this war - if the Japanese want to truly achieve the goal of launching this war, they still need to rely on infantry to attack and essentially occupy Renqiu.Although the composition of the cadet division is a bit complicated, there are quite a few cadets with no actual combat experience. Fortunately, they have high fighting spirit and the determination to serve the country to the death. Just as Chen Shichang said: We want the Japanese to know that China is no longer what it used to be. That China, at least in the land of Renqiu.

Regarding Chen Shichang's arrangement, Ouyang Yun originally wanted him to be the staff officer of the division. After all, he was the old squad leader of the student training class.But the result turned out to be counterproductive. Although Ouyang Yun deliberately got rid of the shadow of certain aspects in order to enable the student division to survive in the cracks, and did not set up instructors and political departments and other departments with certain symbolic meanings, Chen Shichang himself was trying to save the country. How did he get into the Soldiers Committee and became the first chief officer.And this soldier committee has developed to the present, although it has a very old-fashioned name, its key personnel play the same role as instructors and political commissars, and are responsible for the ideological work of the soldiers and the coordination of the relationship between officers and soldiers.

The moment the bombardment stopped, Ouyang Yun realized that the little devil was about to launch a ground attack. He ordered Liu Zheliang and others: "Take me to the regiment headquarters of the third regiment!" Then he said to Xiao Bingkun: "You boy What are you still doing here, the position is lost, be careful I spank your ass!"

"Hey!" Xiao Bingkun seemed to remember that he was the leader of the regiment, and ran away in a hurry.After running for a short distance, as if he just remembered it, he shouted at Liu Zheliang: "Zheliang, hurry up and take the teacher seat back to Wen'an, it's dangerous here! If there is anything wrong with the teacher seat, be careful that all the teachers will beat you to death." ass!"

Ouyang Yun laughed as soon as he heard it, and said: "This kid is more ruthless than me." He said to Liu Zheliang: "Don't listen to him, quickly, carry me over, this guy Bing Kun is good at folding quilts, but is he fighting— —Well, don't worry!"

"Master, you look down on people!" Xiao Bingkun became anxious when he heard this, and shouted back while running.

Everyone laughed!
The front line of Daliuhe Town is on the side close to Tianjin, where the headquarters of the 108th Brigade of the 25th Division is located. Looking through the binoculars, he looked at the position of the apprentice division two kilometers away.After the shelling, gunpowder smoke billowed on the opposite position, and there were few people.However, when he saw the densely scattered soil in the trench, his expression suddenly became ugly—it was obvious that the shelling just now had limited effect, and the enemy's tactical literacy on the opposite side was not as low as he had expected in advance.

Seeing this, a staff officer next to him hurriedly asked, "General, what's wrong?"

"Doihara, a layman, directs the bombardment himself. Is this the result of his directing?" Nakano put down the binoculars angrily, and thought to himself, "Why isn't the division commander personally directing?"

The staff officer asked cautiously: "Isn't that asking the artillery to sort it out again?"

"No need!" Nakano waved his hand and said contemptuously: "The Chinese people on the opposite side don't even have decent cannons. As long as our tanks run over them, wouldn't they just run away?!"

The staff quickly and kindly reminded him: "General, according to Commander Doihara, the Chinese army on the opposite side is equipped with a lot of anti-tank guns!"

Nakano glanced at him, and his eyes flashed coldly: "So what if they are equipped with anti-tank guns? It depends on what kind of opponent they are facing." He glanced at the garrison of Huabeitun in the direction of Tianjin City in the distance. , said contemptuously: "The guys from the North China Garrison will only bully the unarmed Chinese civilians. They are still far behind the real Chinese soldiers. Even the best weapons fall into the hands of these people, it is equivalent to scrap iron! Pass me order to order the tank troops to line up eight Chiroes in front, and the Kitamanshi to follow—you want Kaichi Takaki from the Akita Regiment.”

After the call was connected, Nakano changed his tone and said on the phone: "Zhong Zuo Takaki, this first round of assault will be handed over to your Akita United team, and I hope you will not disappoint the reputation established by the Akita United captain. I'll take it all at once—please!"

"Hayi!" Gao Shujiayi, as a lieutenant officer, can sit in the position of the captain. If it wasn't for his extraordinary background, he must have extraordinary martial arts—Gao Shu immediately became respectful and energetic on the phone A perfect answer.

The 108th Division is mainly armed by the reserves of the 8th Division in Japan. Except for most of the generals from the 8th Division, and some veterans supported by the 8th Division, the other devil soldiers are also recruits.Of course, unlike the recruits of the apprentice division, due to the relatively advanced and sound reserve system in Japan, the military quality of these ghost soldiers is still quite high.

The 108th Division did not have its own tank unit. The tank unit assigned to Nakano's command now belongs directly to the Kwantung Army Command. It was through Doihara's public relations agent to help and save the reputation of the "Imperial Japanese Tank Unit".This chariot force has two squadrons, including 8 Type 89 medium tanks (Qi Luo) and 20 Type 95 light tanks (North Man), and the commander is Lieutenant Commander Naokawa.

As Nakano issued an attack order, 28 tanks ignited and launched under the unified command of Naokawa, and then eight "Qiluo" drove more than ten meters away to form the first attack wave, and then rushed to the position of the cadet division past.The other 20 "Northern Manchus" drove out one after another, forming three offensive formations. Behind the tank troops, a brigade of more than 1000 soldiers from the Akita Regiment held small weapons under the command of the brigade captain Ryogi Motozusa. Running follow-up - the little devil's first ground attack has finally begun.

On the third regiment's position, as the watchmen waved small flags to issue an early warning, Shao Bigang, commander of the first battalion of the third regiment, and Huang Changjiang, deputy commander of the first battalion, ran in the trenches with pistols.They shouted loudly as they ran: "Comrades (brothers) in charge of the second round retreat, and everyone else has their eyes widened. Those in the anti-tank squad, take aim and follow my orders and shoot together!"

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the soldiers got out of the bunker under the command of the officers and began to repair the fortifications.The company platoon leaders were sweating profusely and took the lead in brandishing their shovels while maintaining a high degree of vigilance. Many of them kept their eyes on the direction of the watchmen.In order to prevent fatigue in combat, after the first battalion entered the position, Shao Bigang divided the whole battalion into two batches and carried out defensive operations in sequence.The company platoon leaders in charge of the second round stopped one after another, calling the soldiers in the headquarters to enter the bunker, and shouted playfully: "It's time for a break, brothers, retreat!"

The soldiers without combat missions entered the bunker with a bit of laughter. Some people would joke with fellow villagers or old acquaintances who were in charge of the first round of blocking: "So-and-so, your kid recruits bright spots, but don't report to Hades first."

Fellow villagers and old acquaintances often retort: ​​"A dog can't spit out ivory. I wouldn't go to the king of Hades if I didn't kill enough. But you boy, hehe, don't wait for me to shoot this little devil and run away. Go hunt birds!"

At this time Xiao Bingkun came running over, Ouyang Yun's words just now had a thorn in his heart, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable.He was sweating profusely from running, and when he saw Shao Bigang, he said loudly, "Battle Commander Shao, keep an eye on me. If you lose the position, be careful, I will spank your ass."

Xiao Bingkun is only 21 years old, six years younger than Shao Bigang in terms of age. Because of this situation, he usually speaks in a harmonious manner with his subordinates, without the airs of an officer.Xu is precisely because of this, the effect of his furious behavior immediately became obvious, and Shao Bigang immediately responded loudly: "Tuan Zuo! Don't worry, you are in the position. If the position is lost by our first battalion, you don't want to be spanked." , I will directly let you kick my head as a ball!" Then he asked loudly: "Brothers, do you have the confidence to repel the little devil's attack!"

"Yes!" The soldiers first shouted aggressively, and then the nature of the third regiment was revealed. A naughty company commander said: "Even if the battalion commander is not beaten and thrown into the face of our first battalion, everyone will give up." Hit me hard, brothers, am I right!" Many people laughed.

Xiao Bingkun and Shao Bigang also laughed, the former leaned close to the latter and whispered in his ear: "If the situation is wrong, get someone to notify me, don't lose face or die! Remember?!"

Shao Bigang paid a military salute, and said solemnly: "Tuan Zuo, you can rest assured, every man in the three regiments is a coward!"

Xiao Bingkun poked his head out to look at the situation on the opposite side, and then left.

On the opposite side, the little devil's tank group was only more than 1000 meters away from the first battalion's position with black smoke. Suddenly, several tanks stopped and sank, their gun barrels spewed out flames, and several shells whizzed past the soldiers in an instant The top of their heads exploded somewhere behind them.

Laughter disappeared from everyone's faces at the same time, and finally, the atmosphere on the battlefield appeared in the trenches-some heavy, some nervous, and anger and passion waiting to erupt.

From the moment Feng Yuanxiu saw Ouyang Yun, tears kept falling like pearls with broken strings.The pearls were sprinkled all the way until they reached the regiment headquarters of the third regiment.

Ouyang Yun called him over, wiped away his tears with his own hands, and said softly: "War will definitely kill people, men who can die on the battlefield are really good men, Yuanxiu, don't cry anymore. In the future, you will There are more difficult and dangerous things waiting for you to do."

Ouyang Yun misunderstood the cause of his tears, Feng Yuanxiu did not reveal his heart knot because of his explanation, on the contrary, he cried louder: "Master, it's all me, my fault, if, if I don't beat that one to death, That devil in plain clothes may not be able to fight this battle."

Only then did he know why he was crying, Ouyang Yun glanced at everyone with a smile, and asked, "Have you heard the story of the wolf and the lamb?"

Everyone felt a little strange, and Pan Meiren asked, "Is it "The Story of the Wolf and the Lamb" in "Krylov's Fables"?"

Ouyang Yun nodded and said: "A wolf saw the lamb drinking water by the river, and wanted to find an excuse to eat it, so he accused the lamb of polluting the water. The lamb said, I am in the downstream, and it is impossible to dirty the upstream." The wolf said, "The lamb scolded him last year. The lamb replied, I was not born at that time. The wolf was so ashamed and angry, so he said, no matter how good your defense is, I will not let you go. He After finishing speaking, I ate the lamb. This little devil is a wolf, and they will attack us sooner or later."

Feng Yuanxiu's tears gradually stopped, and he obviously understood the true meaning of the story Ouyang Yun told - no matter whether he shot and killed the plainclothes devil, sooner or later the little devil will provoke this war!
