48. The Bahrain Beacon Fire Attack begins
A total of eight telephones brought back by the deputy of the Du regiment, plus supporting antennas, batteries, and switches, were all transported to the brigade headquarters. For the officers and soldiers of the defenders, these things are not unfamiliar, they have long been used in the regular army of the Kuomintang, and they have all seen them during the Central Plains War. Lin Ruyuan, who acted with the 233rd Regiment, volunteered to make trouble, and asked the prisoner Chunshui Xiaoze to help, and Wang Zhiyuan, the commander of the communications battalion, recommended Zhang Zhong, the platoon commander of a communications company, who was originally under the 17th Army and had been wiping up these things...... The telephone was quickly operational, and the transmitting frequency was modified......
The commander of the 117th Brigade used the telephone of the Japanese army, felt that it was too fresh, and immediately sent the rest to all regiments and units directly under the brigade, as well as to the special service regiment and the independent regiment attached to the army.
After interrogating the Japanese prisoner drivers, the 234th Regiment learned that the 34th Wing of the 36th Brigade of the Japanese Army was attacked by the Chinese defenders, and the switchboard and antenna were blown up at that time, and only one of the squadrons' telegraph was still available, so that Shirai was able to contact the outside world. The Tongliao Armament Depot hastily prepared this squad-level baggage team for the 34th Wing, and the headquarters sent the Japanese troops of the Zhusong Squad to escort it.
For the defenders, the weather is cold, and you can exercise more; If you are hungry, you can find a way to fill your stomach; The weapons are poor, and there are large blades to pick up, but the communication equipment has not been used. didn't think about it, but Zhang Qiaoya and Du Wanshui got it by their hands......
Brigade Commander Ding stood in front of the yurt table and began to make phone calls to all units incessantly, he put the telephone on his head, and issued orders one after another to the microphone on the side of his face, and the situation of the 33rd Wing of the various units also reached his ears, which relieved his nervous and heavy pressure. While directing all units to advance through the night, he turned around and communicated and discussed with Deputy Brigade Commander Ji, Chief of Staff Zhang, and Director Han. Regiment Commander Li Shusen was injured in the shoulder when he removed Yisu Maodu, and although he was treated by the medical officer and military doctor, with a bandage on his left hand, he also came to the brigade headquarters from the resting place to wait for the latest news on the battlefield.
The time finally came to 9 o'clock in the evening, the sky was very dark and dark, and the north wind was blowing. Director Han and Advisor Li telegraphed to Commander Sun to report on the situation in Bahrain...... They communicated a lot of details, as well as the emergency situation, and the 117th Brigade withdrew south as planned, and it is estimated that it can basically reach ......
Brigade Commander Ding called Miao Zipingna, the deputy commander of the 233rd Regiment, who was in charge of the frontal encirclement, and said, "Deputy Miao Regiment? ”
Miao Ziping said: "I am Miao Ziping. ”
Brigade Commander Ding said: "How far is the front of your department and the devil's station?" ”
Deputy Miao Tuan said: "The forefront of our battalions and directly subordinate teams has always been staring at the leather boots of the devil patrol, and the patrol soldiers of the devil patrol have shrunk from the farthest five miles to more than two miles, and then to more than three miles...... Relying on this wind is very hard, the devil's wolf dog nose is also a little out of order......"
Brigade Commander Ding called Commander Yang of the 234th Regiment again, and he said, "Commander Yang? Are you pushing forward over there? ”
Commander Yang said: "The devil patrol entered Yihong Hadasi half a mile away when it was just dark, and found no suspicious circumstances. Their patrol radius was shortened, and the front line of our regiment was almost crawling to follow. At this point, it seems to be a temporary fortification of the devil...... When will you charge? ”
Brigadier Ding said: "Tell the brothers to calm down first, don't be discovered by the devils, once discovered, we will lose everything." The time for the general attack will not be too far, and if you find three fires on the ice field of Bai Yinnaoer, you can rush forward. When the time comes, you will have to stealthily engage the enemy, and suddenly appear when the devil does not know it. Let's cut off the skull with a big knife...... Nothing new. ”
Regiment Commander Yang smiled and said firmly: "Please rest assured, brigade commander, we have experience in this ......"
Although the two Japanese cars hidden in the depression were full of grenadiers and various weapons and ammunition, machine guns and rifles could naturally be used by the soldiers, but no one could use the grenadiers and cannons, and they couldn't even press the gun carriage and gun body, let alone load the ammunition and aim and release it. It's a pity that there are not many grenades on the devil's car, and the 234 regiment consumed too many grenades yesterday. But one soldier saw the herdsman children playing a game, and came up with an idea, and after a staff officer, he made some of them. It is to dip a short wooden stick in mutton fat or butter first, roll it on some soil and then dip it in camel oil, light it on fire, throw it into the enemy's line, and burn his dog's day. Regiment Commander Yang reported this method to the brigade and soon followed suit in various departments......
Brigade Commander Ding finished calling Regiment Commander Yang, and then called the 235th Regiment and asked Zhao Wenlin: "Commander Zhao, where is your department now?" ”
Regiment Commander Zhao said: "Report to the brigade commander, we are still on the north bank of the Xilamulun River, close to the southern edge of Baiyinnaoer, but the ice is too slippery, I am afraid that if we walk up, we will slip and fall, make a movement, and be discovered by the devils......
Brigade Commander Ding said: "You are right, once you make a movement on the ice, the devil's front patrol will find out and will definitely bombard you with artillery." Now, you are here as the starting point, and I will inform you in a moment, when you send your troops to the ice and light three fires first, and the departments begin to prepare, and then light three fires, and the general attack will begin...... After ignition, you must prevent the devil's artillery, and after the devil's deployment is disrupted, your unit quickly passes through the ice and attacks northward to cover the ......"
Head Zhao asked for some key points and precautions before arranging it.
Brigade Commander Ding's phone was being called from his direct team to the north, when Zhu Zhongliang, the head of the special service regiment, called and said, "Brigade Commander Ding, the method of burning the fire stick you just conveyed is very feasible. The place where our unit had just advanced was the Japanese artillery position, and as soon as the general attack began, we were ready to burn their artillery with burning sticks......" Brigade Commander Ding said: "You have no grenades? Commander Zhu was shocked and said: "Yes, yes, you have to rotate it, doesn't it mean saving bullets?" ”
Brigade Commander Ding was finishing talking to the commanders about this "burning stick", and after everyone's experiments, this so-called burning stick was not necessarily very powerful. Because it's okay to have a lot of camel oil, if there is less fire, it will be blown out when the wind is strong, and the target will be exposed. It's a pity that the fellow only provided so much camel oil.
Then Cui Xingwu's head of the 18th Regiment, Hong Weiguo, called, and he said: "Chief Ding, one of our brothers has an idea, if we use the fire ox array to rush the enemy camp, our chances of victory will be greater......"
Brigade Commander Ding listened to his words and talked strangely, and did not know how to answer him. It's not good to refuse, because after all, people came to Chengcheng, and they came up with a plan, and it's hard to say if they refuse. At this time, when everyone heard it, they all felt that this plan was good, and Director Han said: "Didn't Old Man Haas say that he would fund thirty cows to fight against Japan?" Is it coming? ”
Chief of Staff Zhang said: "The cattle are really coming, and they have all handed over Haritu to the villagers......"
Everyone said that this method worked, after all, we don't have so many good guns and cannons, and the more grenades are used, the less we use them. So the brigade headquarters staff officer Yu Xianyan went to Ha Ritu to arrange this matter......
The units of the 33rd Wing of the Japanese Army were stationed in the area of Baori and Shuo in the northern part of the Baiyinnaoer Snow Field, and Wing Commander Oshima Shuo commanded all units to be stationed in order, and the patrol and search teams carried out reconnaissance and search for targets according to the rules and subjects, and on the other hand, he contacted the Yamamoto Squadron of the Koizumi Yamashita Brigade of the 18th Regiment of Choi Xingwu, which was heading to the southwest, but he never made contact. It was not easy for Oshima Shuo to get to the position of captain of the Osa, his hands were full of Chinese blood, he also lost too many Kumamoto children, and he himself was injured in many places. So he has experience in doing wars. He was also well aware of today's situation, so he did not want to be too far away from the brigade and other wings, so as not to be surrounded or attacked by the Chinese army. Today, the Fujino Brigade drove here in a daze, purely because the Shina Army attracted it. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he was also angry with the Fujino team......
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the Japanese Sanhe horse is not adapted to the wind of the grassland, and today it is driving from north to south, and the reflection of the snow has made the horse's eyes sway, and it is impossible to go one step further, so they have to camp here. He gave it a name, Kumazawa Island, in order to garrison Wangdi.
Starting from the fight of Baiyin Ao Baoyi, the various departments, especially the Fujino brigade in front, have been harassed by the Shina army, and there are horse teams in front of them, and there are always attacks on the east and west sides without a head of the dragon. As a wing commander, his long-term combat experience made him not blindly beat and scold his subordinates, but beat and praised, and rewarded and punished clearly. Therefore, the main reason is that Captain Fujino constantly reported to him that he had encountered harassment, and while he encouraged and instructed him to advance cautiously, he reminded him to judge the enemy situation from the signs of harassment in Shina...... Looking left and right, chasing back and forth, rushed to this place on Kumazawa Island, and finally didn't want to leave, it was not that people were tired, but that my heart was surrounded.
He has to think about it, along the way, what is the intention of the Chinese army to change places after a few shots? He suddenly remembered another thing, that is, the transport team that had sent supplies and baggage for the 34th Wing had been robbed in Bayinabrutu, and all the Japanese troops in a small squad were killed, covered under the snow, and all the supplies and transports were robbed. Thinking of this, he began to blame himself, he originally wanted to listen to the commander of the Miaki Takada Brigade, first drive a little less, or advance little by little; It seems that he still underestimated the enemy, but he is still eager to seek merit. It's a bit of a disadvantage to drive to this place today......
After the various units were stationed, as the time began to approach dusk, he felt more and more that a murderous aura was coming from all directions. Hideda Kosuke also seemed to feel it, but he didn't say anything, just busy contacting the various departments to make combat arrangements, preparations for night attacks, etc......
After Oshima Shuo finished arranging everything, he suddenly felt a little sleepy, fell asleep on the simple table, and he dimly saw Inada Zhaoji facing him on the flower stream in Kumamoto and said, "I am already surrounded, don't you feel that the wind is everywhere?" The 34th and 35th wings are far away, man, you want to be better than me, this time you have to pay a price......"
After waking up, he intermittently recalled the gloomy words of Inada Zhaosi, and couldn't think of a clue. Seeing that he had just fallen asleep and woke up, Hideda Kosuke told him that the commander of the Takada Miaki Brigade had called and informed him that the Takematsu transport team had been robbed by the Shina Army, and that it seemed that there was help from the rout of the Northeast Frontier Army. In this way, the Bahrain grassland is full of crises and cannot be underestimated......
He was a soldier of the Young Zhuang faction, and when he heard that there was a crisis, blood gushed up, he touched his sword, and said: "Herald, there are ...... who open the way."
Several staff officers and heralds rushed over from another tent, stood up and saluted and asked the wing commander to open the way to scold?
A soldier came in and reported: "Report to the Wing Commander, three fires have been found on the ice of Bayannur to the south......
At this time, the phone also rang, it was Captain Fujino calling, he said: "Captain Oshima, three fires have been found on the ice to the south, they must have been done by the people of China, the soldiers are in great danger when they go there, and they want to bombard him with artillery, please instruct." ”
He was just about to allow him to fire a few shells, when the fire was rising from the northwest, and then someone called and it turned out to be Xiaoquan Mountain, and he said: "The defenders are too immoral, driving a herd of cattle into the position, and the Chinese army always does not follow the normal way of fighting, and there is a fireball tied to the tail of the ox, and some of the ox horns have knives and ......."
He pressed the foreign knife in his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "Yanxi, unfortunately I was called by the rice field to give me a serious word...... Light a fire in the south to attract my attention, and drive the fire ox in the north, swish, to set up a fire ox formation? It's really a great bad conscience......" grabbed the phone and called Koizumi Yamashita and said: "Koizumi-kun, don't work in a mess, use machine guns, use machine guns to strafe the cattle......" Koizumi Yamashita almost cried and said: "There are too many cattle, and they are all burned by fire, the two squadrons are messed up, there are guns that can't find supports, some supports can't find bullets, and the shells of grenadiers are also trampled everywhere......"
Oshima Shuo dialed Kifu Harushita's phone again, and was about to order him to take two squadrons to kill those fire bulls, otherwise rushing here would crush the headquarters...... Before he could open his mouth, he heard that the 92 guns of Fujino's squadron in front of him had begun to fire on the ice. He felt a little relieved, and then he received a call from Fujino Nakasa, it turned out that the defenders had set up three fires on the ice field, which was the primer, attracting the Japanese to fire at it. Then, three more fires were lit, but the main force of the Chinese army had already taken advantage of this to touch the ice, and those who had drilled out of the meadow, and those hiding behind the slope had also rushed into the position......
At this time, Oshima discovered that three more fires had appeared on the ice......
On all sides were the Shina army, as if they had come out of the mouth of the underground wasteland.
Oshima Shuo hurriedly organized the defense, ordered all departments, and defended on the spot, he sneered and said: "Whoosh, the Chinese army, the miscellaneous troops, my great Japanese imperial army, don't be afraid of ......" Don't forget to say: "It's really a mistake to come here at night......"
