Independence Corps

Chapter 21 Head-to-head confrontation (2)
Ren Tianxing shook his head, and said in a concealed manner: "You don't need to worry about this, the lieutenant general. In short, you wait for my good news."

Gangben can't wait.Ren Tianxing was sent by Commander Miyata, every move of Ren Tianxing, Miyata Hara Ichiro is very clear.Since Miyata has illusions about Ren Tianxing, he has to adjust his plan.So he called back the prepared task force and asked Sasaki to accompany Kurano Masao.According to what Ren Tianxing said, I cooperated with him step by step.

Ren Tianxing did make a contribution. First, he stole the radio codes of the 24th Division Tan Weiming and the female bandit Liu Mier. He tried to lure them into the trap by means of fake messages, forcing them to fight dog-eat-dog first, and the 13th Division took advantage of the chaos to win.This plan failed, and Ren Tianxing secretly contacted Chief Yan, trying to use the same method to force Tu Lanlong to withdraw from Miliang City, but unfortunately it didn't work.As time passed, Gangben became more and more impatient waiting.In fact, he is not a person who is good at waiting. He traveled across the ocean and came to this strange land not to wait.Besides, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, did you wait for it?

"You, are you sure?" Finally, he called Ren Tianxing to him and questioned him.

Ren Tianxing has a guilty conscience, time is wasted in his hands, if he loses the best opportunity to attack in this war, he cannot bear the responsibility.But he still bite the bullet and said: "I let Tianxing speak, and I always count. Commander Miyata can trust me, can't the lieutenant general trust me?"

"Okay, I'll give you another three days. If there is still no result after three days, you, where did you come from? Do you understand?"

"Ha Yi!" Ren Tianxing imitated the Japanese military officer, saluted him, and hurriedly carried out his plan again.

Ren Tianxing's plan this time is to assassinate Tu Lanlong with the help of a mysterious figure in Miliang City.Because the facts proved that with the help of Chief Yan's side, Tu Lanlong could not be forced to submit, and he found that there were also new changes on Chief Yan's side. The 126th Division and the 137th Division abandoned the city without a fight, which has already caused dissatisfaction among all parties. If Miliang City is handed over again, the KMT may drown Chief Yan with spit.

Ren Tianxing said that he was absolutely sure of assassinating Tu Lanlong.Although Gangben despised Ren Tianxing's Haikou, he heard that Tu Zhucheng's death was related to this sissy man.Maybe, he can really repeat the old drama?If you really want to use the hand of that mysterious figure to kill Tu Lanlong, haha, that would be the best!
Ren Tianxing didn't tell Gangben who this mysterious person was, and Gangben didn't bother to ask.Having been in China for such a long time, he has seen too many similar characters, and it would be too much for him to remember them all.

Who would have thought that three days had passed, and there was no movement in Miliang City, but all kinds of news from Miliang City made Gangben more and more uneasy.As a last resort, Okamoto met Commander Miyata.In the courtyard house where Ichiro Miyatahara used to command the four regiments of the three armies, the two talked secretly all afternoon.Miyata Hara told him that he didn't have [-]% hope for Ren Tianxing, but since he wanted to try, let him try.

"Of course it's good not to waste a shot, but you and I have to prepare for the worst. Not all the people in China are cowards. There is not only Tu Lanlong in Miliangshan, but also Shen Mengzi and Liu Mi'er. The two enemies are still difficult to deal with."

"Gangben understands that Shen Mengzi is the Communist Party, and the Communist Party is the most difficult to deal with." Gangben had encountered the Communist Party's Chen Yi's team before and had suffered. Now when he mentions the Communist Party, he still has lingering fears.

"No, Mr. Gangben, this has nothing to do with the Communist Party. I'm talking about Shen Mengzi. He used to be the head of the independent regiment. In Gou'er Mountain, he defeated my brigade!"

As soon as Miyatahara Ichiro mentioned this matter, he became angry from embarrassment. Although a few years had passed and he was promoted from the commander of the first army to the commander of the theater, the word "Shen Mengzi" was still stuck in the same place. in his heart.Compared with Tu Lanlong, he was more worried about Shen Mengzi and his 72nd regiment for the future war.Also in this afternoon, when the sun was about to set, the adjutant sent a secret telegram, and Miyata's face changed drastically after seeing it.

"The surname Jiang broke his promise and attacked me aggressively!" He screamed at Gangben.

Gangben's face changed when he heard about it.Commander Miyata repeatedly assured him that the Supreme Command of the Japanese Army in China had reached a secret agreement with Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing, and Chiang Kai-shek's troops were only symbolically setting up obstacles to the Imperial Japanese Army so as not to be shamed by the people of the country. up?

"Yaga, it's a scam, it's all a scam!" Kazuo Miyata angrily smashed the tea set on the table.The impact this sealed electricity brought to him was too great, and his facial features, which were originally not very coordinated, were completely distorted at this moment, looking terribly terrifying.

"Commander, isn't it?" Gangben suppressed the panic in his heart and asked cautiously.

"Assemble the team immediately, I want to bloodbath Rice Grain City!"

"Ha Yi!" Gangben stood up and straightened his back.At this moment, he cried out excitedly in his heart, and the panic just now was swept away.In fact, it was not panic, but the sudden happiness that stunned him.For Gangben, being able to pick up the butcher knife in his hand and slash at the "Chinaman" without any scruples is nothing more than happiness.

The 13th Division was quickly assembled, and Sasaki's task force still insisted on taking the lead. This is also a guy whose eyes shine when he sees a Chinese.He once boasted that among all the Japanese soldiers who came to Chinese soil, he killed the most "Chinese people".

"Yoxi, I swept across a village in an hour, cut off 562 heads, cut off 36 pairs of breasts, and my hands are numb." This is what he said three years ago at the celebration meeting of the Northeast Theater.By the way, Sasaki has a strange psychology towards women's breasts. I don't know whether it's infatuation or hatred. Whenever a woman is spoiled by him, those breasts will be cut off by him.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when the army was about to leave, Kazuo Miyatahara suddenly sent an order.

"Turn around and kill the 126th and 137th divisions first!"

"Commander, this..." Okamoto was very surprised, how could Miyatahara Kazuo give such an order?
"Haha, Mr. Gangben, you trust the enemy too much. Do you think they will really be friendly with you? You are stuck with Tu Lanlong in front. If these stupid pigs stab you in the back, you can't stand it."

One sentence woke up Okamoto, yes, why didn't I expect that Commander Miyata was wise at this level.So he yelled at Sasaki's task force: "Turn your guns around, and wipe out the deserter 126th and 137th divisions first with lightning speed!"

It was against this background that the gunshots sounded. Unexpectedly, when he led the 13th Division to the Mai River, the 25th Division that came before him had already surrounded the 137th Division at the foot of Jiulong Mountain.

What is scarecrow tactics? This is Commander Miyata's most classic scarecrow bundling technique.With two powerful ropes tied together, the 137th and 126th divisions can only suffer death obediently no matter how powerful they are in counterattacking!
The 126th and 137th divisions never dreamed that the Japanese would make a comeback and catch them by surprise.

The brothers were all still in a dream, and even those who woke up early were still lazily lying in bed.The sudden sound of gunfire frightened the soldiers of the national army who had been mobilized here by their superiors to recharge their batteries.By the time they put on their pants and ran out with their guns in hand, it was already too late. The 13th Division and the 25th Division attacked from both sides. First they attacked with artillery, and then they swept with anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns.

Okamoto kept on doing nothing, for fear that the 126th Division would organize an effective counterattack, and ordered Sasaki's contingent to press on the whole territory.Sasaki had already suffocated his strength, and when he heard that Gangben asked him to attack, he immediately gave an order. The task force with complete weapons and equipment seemed to be in a no-man's land. The 126th Division had no time to resist. I didn't even have time to click the button, so I became a ghost under the knife.

For Gangben, this battle was really hearty. It only took one day and one night from the first shot to the end of the whole battle.They encountered a little trouble on the way. The 126th Division had a guard unit secretly arranged 12 kilometers away from the mouth of the Maihe River. The intention was to prevent the 13th Division from doing such treacherous things.But they were still too sloppy. It took more than ten minutes for the guns to rang before they reacted.By the time they came to rescue the large troops, the banks of the Mai River had become a sea of ​​flames.

In any case, this 600-strong guard unit still saved a little face for the 126th Division. With the advantage of terrain, they confronted the 13st Wing under the 131th Division five kilometers east of the Mai River. After fighting fiercely for seven hours, the Sixth Battalion, which was rushed to reinforce before dark, became a living target because they were outnumbered.

The gunshots from the Maihe side woke up the entire Miliang Mountain. As soon as the gunshots rang out, Tan Weiming ordered all traffic arteries to be blocked. Residents were only allowed to enter but not to exit. All vehicles were prohibited. Liu Ji entered the first-level combat readiness state.At 12:[-] noon, Tan Weiming came on a fast horse and saw from a distance that Shen Mengzi was talking to Fang Jinwen, the commander of the fourth battalion, on the widow's slope.He yelled at the widow slope, Shen Mengzi threw down the brocade, and walked down the slope quickly.

"What's going on, Division 126 isn't..."

"Don't ask, the Japanese made the dumplings!" Tan Weiming jumped off the horse, pointed to the person behind him and said, "I brought him here and returned it to Zhao."

Shen Mengzi looked up, and the person sitting upright immediately was actually the political commissar Bi Chuanyun.

"I don't have time to tell you more. The little devil has two divisions here, and there are probably more troops in the back. I'm going to Ma'anpo now, and I'll leave Luanshigang to you."

Shen Mengzi wanted to ask something else, but Tan Weiming whipped the whip, and the bay red horse left like lightning.The guard who was following behind gave Shen Mengzi a strange look, and said, "I even brought the horse with someone to give it to you!" Then he also left in the dust.

Shen Mengzi turned his head to look at Bi Chuanyun, he hadn't seen him for a few days, but Bi Chuanyun actually gained weight, his two cheeks were chubby and red.

Bi Chuanyun jumped off his horse, ignored Shen Mengzi, and angrily walked towards the front fortification.When he arrived at Widow Slope, Bi Chuanyun looked at the newly dug trenches back and forth, then walked into the dense forest, looked at the six mortars carefully for a while, and then turned to Fang Jinwen, the commander of the fourth battalion: "Just these four mortars?" gun?"

Fang Jinwen, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, didn't expect Bi Chuanyun to come back at this time, feeling a little uncomfortable for a while, and nodded mechanically.

Bi Chuanyun cast his eyes on Shen Mengzi: "There should be at least ten gates here."

Shen Mengzi pretended not to hear, but in fact he wanted to do more, but where did the cannon come from?

Bi Chuanyun was bored, knowing that he couldn't argue with Shen Mengzi at this time, stood silently for a while, then raised his legs and walked towards the fifth battalion's position.

The sound of guns in Gucheng became more intense, Shen Mengzi and Fang Jinwen raised their heads at the same time, and looked in the direction of Maihe.After a while, Fang Jinwen asked: "The head of the family, didn't the surname Tan take him as a hostage? Why did he let him back?"

"Where are so many nonsense!" After scolding Fang Jinwen, Shen Mengzi was about to turn around, and saw the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion straighten their eyes, staring at Bi Chuanyun's back.Shen Mengzi became angry: "Listen to me, he is your political commissar, whoever dares to talk nonsense, be careful that I will cut your tongue!" After finishing speaking, he took three steps in parallel and chased after Bi Chuanyun.

Shen Mengzi never made it clear to the brothers of the 72nd Regiment that Tan Weiming detained Bi Chuanyun because he and Tan Weiming made a plan, Shuanghuang.For one thing, Shen Mengzi was afraid that Bi Chuanyun would come back and nag him again. He was afraid of listening to those useless words, so he might as well take the opportunity to let him stay in the Tan residence.Secondly, he also wanted to clarify his attitude with Tan Weiming. He, Shen Mengzi, sincerely wanted to cooperate with the 12th Division, and the purpose was to deal with the common enemy for this fierce battle.Of course, Tan Weiming kept Bi Chuanyun not only to guard against Shen Mengzi, but also for another purpose, to act for Tu Lanlong.In the middle, there are many mysteries, and I can't explain a sentence or two clearly.

Well now, the little devil is calling, and no one needs to hide. Bi Chuanyun should come back and continue to be his political commissar.Fortunately, judging from the performance just now, Bi Chuanyun did not stay in the Tan residence in vain these days, and Tan Weiming must have brainwashed him.

While walking, Shen Mengzi thought, thinking of the beauty, he couldn't help laughing.Bi Chuanyun turned around and gave him a wicked look.Shen Mengzi hurriedly said: "Don't do that, it's not safe to come back, anyway, he didn't bother you much."

"Shen Mengzi, I'm not done with you!" Bi Chuanyun cursed angrily, turned around and walked forward again.

Shen Mengzi caught up: "Old Bi, Lao Bi, listen to me."

"I do not want to hear!"

"Stop!" Shen Mengzi suddenly lost his temper, "Are you still reasonable? I'm already being polite to you by not holding you accountable, but you still show me a cold face. Why, after eating for a few days Did Tan Weiming's food make you angry?"

Bi Chuanyun was already sad in his heart. This trip to the 12th Division was considered a throw away. Bi Chuanyun has never suffered such humiliation since he was a soldier.Not to mention how he will explain to the brigade commander Tang Peisen in the future, just meeting the soldiers of the 72nd regiment right now, he doesn't know how to pass.Just now at Widow Slope, he was holding on, and now he is going to Wuying, he is also holding on.He didn't want Shen Mengzi to talk to him, and he was afraid that Shen Mengzi wouldn't talk to him.

It's fine if Shen Mengzi doesn't bury him, but when Shen Mengzi bury him, the five-flavored bottle in his heart immediately turned over.

"You have the guts, I, Bi Chuanyun, was taken prisoner, and now I'm back, what's the matter, do you want to hold a public trial now, and let the brothers judge me?" Bi Chuanyun said angrily.

"You fart!" Shen Mengzi took two steps forward, his eyes seemed to be eating people, "If you dare to act like a donkey with me, be careful that I will throw you off this mountain!"

With these scolding words, Bi Chuanyun suddenly felt warm in his heart. To be honest, what he was most afraid of was seeing Shen Mengzi. Tan Weiming, the commander of the 12th Division, invited him out of the guest room in the Tan Mansion, and when he was asked to get on the horse, he dawdled for half an hour.At that moment, his mind was full of Shen Mengzi, he didn't know if Shen Mengzi would tolerate him this time, would he kick him out of the 72nd regiment?At that time, he really had an idea that instead of going back so embarrassingly, it would be better to stay in the 12th division.It was Tan Weiming who helped him relieve the burden: "Get on the horse, are you waiting for Captain Shen to pick you up in a sedan chair?"

"I don't want to go back." Tan Weiming was still dawdling, feeling at a loss.

"Hehe, you're guilty, aren't you? Don't you feel shameless? Don't worry, Lao Shen is not that kind of person. If he dares to be rude to you, how can I, Tan Weiming, send you back and bring you back!"

What Tan Weiming said was the truth. During the days in the Tan Mansion, the two of them went from being strangers and hostility at first, to confronting each other, and sarcasm to each other gradually, and then they got to know each other, and the distance between them shortened a lot.Tan Weiming's many words were deeply imprinted in his heart.If it is said that Bi Chuanyun had deep prejudices against the Kuomintang and its various factions in the past, this time Tan Weiming forcibly stayed in the Tan residence, at least these prejudices were dispelled.Yes, talking about doctrine is useless, what matters is how to fight against the enemy and drive out the little devils!

Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Mengzi again, strangely, with Shen Mengzi's words just now, Bi Chuanyun suddenly had the courage to face up to his partner and partner, and he didn't feel how shameful it was to be detained by Tan Weiming.Shen Mengzi also looked at him seriously, his eyes became more and more honest and clear.

"Old Bi, now is not the time for us to fight each other. Listen, the whole Maihe is going to be blown up. The stupid Chief Yan gave two divisions to Little Japan for nothing. Kiss Japan, kiss Japan, Kiss his mother! Old Bi, you and I have to work together, Miyata and Gangmoto are hard to deal with!"

In one sentence, Bi Chuanyun's face that had just cleared up immediately turned cloudy again. He and Tan Weiming had also talked about the same thing more than once. No one dared to pat their chests and say that they could win the fierce battle in front of them.

"What are you still doing, let's go!" After another loud noise, Bi Chuanyun pulled Shen Mengzi past him, and quickly ran towards the fifth camp.

The fresh mountain wind was blowing in bursts, blowing the mugwort, rustling, and occasionally there were one or two whirlwinds, and the swirling dust hit the rough faces of the soldiers.The Luanshigangzi on this day was much calmer than usual, but there was clearly something gestating in this calmness.

After Shen Mengzi and Bi Chuanyun checked the positions of each camp one by one, the day had already passed, and the mountains and fields were shrouded in twilight.At this time, Miliang Mountain looked extremely desolate and forbidding.The mountains in the distance, the peaks in the vicinity, and the daughter river dancing at the foot of the mountain like a ribbon...

The sound of guns and artillery in Gucheng finally stopped, and a wave of tragedy struck, and the two fought a cold war in the cold wind!This cold war was fought for the brothers of the 126th and 137th Divisions of the National Army who fell under artillery fire.The two masters, just made funerary objects in such a muddle!
"It's our turn." Shen Mengzi said in his heart.

"It's our turn." Bi Chuanyun said in his heart.

"It's our turn!" All the brothers in the 72nd Regiment were saying this in their hearts!

It seems that there is no battle that makes people feel more heavy than this one, and there is no battle that makes people so depressed.It was the first time that Shen Mengzi felt uneasy and anxious after leading troops to fight for so many years.In the past, I just fought as I said, and I never thought about what the fight would be like. It was fun that way, and I invested in it without any psychological burden.This time, it was a bit overwhelming, faint, and a little frightening.Yes, I'm not afraid to say a lie, the two divisions of the national army disappeared in the blink of an eye, which shows how strong the 14th Front Army of Ichiro Miyatahara is.In contrast, I only have one regiment, and this regiment was knocked out by Tu Lanlong at the foot of the mountain for nearly two battalions!Fortunately, this time he is not fighting alone. There is Tan Weiming's 12th Division in front and on the right flank, and there is Tu Lanlong's group army on the other side of the river.But will Tu Lanlong really try his best to stop the Japanese invaders like Tan Weiming?
Hard to say.
