129. Huajiagou encircled and annihilated

As soon as Motegi Mae Nozuki heard the gunfire from the west, he knew that something had happened to the 19th Wing in the area of Huajiagou. Although the gunfire was far away, it was audible that it was a large-scale fire from the beginning, and it was by no means a temporary attack or an encounter. Only an iron-blooded soldier like Motegi would hear it. In a fit of rage, Motegi Mae no Tsuki ordered all the troops, the rear to the front, the cavalry to retreat first, the infantry to retreat, and the artillery to follow closely. Motegi had forgotten that when Ono Tataro first came up, he was still a little humble and asked him, and he turned his face faster than a baby's face. He said, "Ono-kun, who told you to rush to the beam without my order?" Don't you know that you're a little bit of a delay? ”

When Ono Taro heard this, he secretly scolded Motegi in his heart for turning his face and not recognizing people, but he still had to stand up straight and shouted, "Hay." Motegi said coldly, "Ono-kun." Grab your horse team and rush down the hill to rescue the 19th Wing......"

Brigade Commander Ding and all the personnel of the brigade headquarters accompanied the brigade and under the leadership of the old hunter, stumbled to Sandao Gorge, where the mountains are like bamboo shoots, the stones are like reed buds, and there is an atmosphere of immortal mountains and treasures. The old hunter stood on a flat stone under a cliff and instructed the officers and soldiers where to go and where not to go.

Sandao Gorge is the center of the tomb roof beam, it is the three canyons that become after the narrowing of the three ravines, and the natural caves pass through each other, and the east wind and west wind can blow in. The middle of the three canyons is more spacious, and the inside is more beautiful with strange stones and trees; A stone, a nest of sand, all make people linger, as if the immortals have just lived, and suddenly left. The devils outside were in a hurry, and they could already feel them shooting here with their guns. From the very beginning, the vanguard drove out, from the two caves on the west side, out of the ravine, down to the ravine on the west, and moved.

The independent battalion was left here to attract the Japanese army, and the officers and men who had been in battle for a long time suddenly felt that the devils had already taken their guns and shots. After the old man's kind reminder, everyone hid under the cliff to safety. The devil shooting stopped, and they came out again to sit on the hammer and attract the devil. When he found that the cannons of the devils at the mouth of the ravine were all propped up, he quietly withdrew and pursued the brigade headquarters to the west.

The 117th Brigade marched west along the Yuyang Ditch, and on the way to call the commander of the 13th Battalion, Battalion Zhou, could not get through. It is urgent to ask how the battle situation is in Birch Gully, and order them to contain the devils who drove to Birch Gully, so as to prepare for the encirclement and annihilation of the devils. Lin Qingshan, who had been promoted to the regiment commander, knew what the brigade commander meant, so he ordered Cui Huaijin, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, to send capable personnel to rush to Huashugou to get in touch with Battalion Commander Zhou.

The scout who was sent was named Fu Chunbo, and he also led two other soldiers to ride fast horses and walk the mountain path, enough to run to Huajiagou. When they hurried to Huajiagou, the water cannon had already been released, and the slow water of Huajiagou was merging into half of the arrow river. They saw from a distance that the 13th Battalion was using a big knife to slash and kill a squad of the devils of Huajiagoumen. They rushed over to help, but they were no longer in a hurry. Fu Chunbo stayed by himself, waiting for the opportunity to contact the 13th Battalion, and sent two soldiers accompanying him to quickly return to report the situation.

The main force of the 117th Brigade, from Yuyanggou to Majiagou, from Majiagou to Leek Gou, and then crossed Huangqin Gou, on the way the brigade headquarters met the two soldiers who returned. They reported that Fu Chunbo was monitoring there, and was waiting for an opportunity to bypass the Japanese sentries and get in touch with the 13th Battalion...... It has gathered within a few miles of Huajiagoumen......

When the brigade headquarters got the news, the commanders held a meeting while hurrying and agreed: the 235th Regiment will pass through Huajiatun in the middle of Huajiagou, and take the west of Huajiagou directly, and together with the 13th Battalion, carry out a feint attack on the devils in the west; The 233rd Regiment quickly cut south from Huangqingou into Chiwei Avenue to block the connection between the Japanese army and the Gudu River, and sent a unit to monitor the direction of the Gudu River, and the main force attacked the southern section of Huajiagou Gate; The 234th Regiment accelerated its advance, quickly seized advantageous terrain along the eastern edge of Huajiagou, and surrounded the devils. The 234th regiment was the main attack, and the other two regiments were assists; The teams directly under the brigade headquarters, as reserves, are interspersed when the situation permits......

The various units received the order to advance in the middle of the process, quickly complete the occupation of the designated area and launch a surprise attack. Under the leadership of Commander Miao Ziping, Deputy Xie Zhanfang, and Chief of Staff Zhang Jingxi, the 233rd Regiment chose the village path and went straight to Chiwei Avenue. At this time, the brigade called and reminded them to act as covertly as possible. There are planes hovering on the roof beam of the tomb on the east side, try not to let the planes find out, the Japanese planes are not good, and they are all carrying bombs. If they are discovered, they will come and drop bombs. Not only would that cause trouble for the defenders, exposing us to our targets, but it would also cause damage to the villages along the way. The Japanese bombed herds of cattle or sheep and never spared bombs.

When Commander Miao received the order, he immediately ordered the whole regiment to pay attention to the movement of the planes over the roof of the tomb on the east side, and if he dared to come, he would organize several groups of machine guns to open fire at the same time to stop it from bombing indiscriminately. In fact, the plane on the roof beam of the tomb cannot be seen with the naked eye, and the telescope of the Japanese army captured in the hands of Commander Miao is not high-magnification, and it is not clear to see. Then another order was received, and the plane flew away, according to the original battle plan.

Commander Miao ordered Battalion Commander Li Gui and Deputy Ma Shilling Battalion to lead the Sixth Battalion to ambush in the woods on both sides of Chiwei Avenue, one is to cut off the east-west connection, and the other is to block the enemy's reinforcements. The main forces of the other regiments, abandoning the avenue, took the woods on both sides of the road, and ran forward to occupy the southeast position of Huajiagoumen. They made a little detour, and as soon as they arrived, the other two regiments had already opened fire, and they did not show weakness, rifle machine guns fired together, and grenades and grenades were thrown together. The devils were facing attacks on three sides at one time, and most of the personnel were flooded, and some were still being rescued, and they all cowered into the woods in a panic.

The 234th Regiment was the first to seize the front line due east of Huajiagou, the guns were fast, the men were fast, and the offensive was also fast, and they did not wait for the order of the brigade headquarters, they jumped down the hillside one after another, and the nineth, tenth, and eleventh battalions in front of the woods were used as a cover to fire fiercely at the devils. Wang Chuanhu, the commander of the flank company, led the spy company to sweep and outflank, pushing the devil so that he had no chance to breathe. Most of the devils retreated to the depths of the dense forest before they organized an effective resistance.

The 235th Regiment had opened heavy fire from the west, and the battalion commander Zhou Xiao led the whole battalion to jump down the ditch first, round the ghost head knife, and chased the devil to cut off the brain. The other main forces also quickly rushed down the hill and split up to cut the devil's living force.

Ichiro Furui was holding a brief meeting in the village of Kobhamon with his wing headquarters, preparing to carry out Motegi's plan to return east to attract the defenders. He couldn't have imagined that the 117 Brigade would come so quickly, and it didn't take long for Motegi to finish the call. Why did Ichiro Furu go to that small village for a meeting? He wanted to meet the older fellow and ask what was going on with the water cannon spring. Before I could make any inquiries, I received a report that I was surrounded. He planned to lead more than 200 people from the wing headquarters and some of his direct teams to surround the **, in order to save his life.

Unexpectedly, when they collided with the headquarters of the 117th Brigade, Brigade Commander Ding and Director Han ordered the independent battalion and the special service battalion to adopt a surprise attack, and the melee combat did not give them a chance to breathe, and quickly solved it. The personnel of the Devil's Wing Department and some of the directly subordinate teams have been rescued from the water one after another, and it would be good to be able to follow the march, where is the combat effectiveness?

At half past twelve, all the devils were solved, and no one was left alive. Ono Tataro led nearly a brigade and came to the rescue. Battalion Commander Li Gui and Deputy Ma Shilling Battalion separately flanked the devils on both sides of the avenue, so that they had to slow down, and finally they could not hear the gunfire in the direction of Huajiagou Men'er until they withdrew......
