26. The first battle of the Bahrain Beacon Grassland
At noon on May 28, 1933, the 117th Brigade of the 41st Army, the Special Service Regiment, the 1st Independent Regiment, and the 1st Communications Battalion drove from the Keshiketeng Banner to the area around the Bahrain Bridge. The reconnaissance battalion of the 117th Brigade was ordered to fan forward in a northeast direction to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.
It turned out that since the devil drove to the Bahrain grassland, it was like entering a no-man's land. They only encountered stubborn resistance from Shi Wenhua and other units of the Northeast Frontier Army in the Kailu and Tianshan areas, and as for Zhang Haipeng and Cui Xingwu, they only resisted sporadically. After the 27th, it was really like entering a no-man's land, the sky was high and the sky was wide and the prairie was wide and there was no longer any military action of resistance, and the 6th Division of the Japanese army on the Bahrain grassland fell into a kind of passivity and helplessness to a certain extent.
So all the troops sent small groups of devils to reconnoiter around, and their upper echelons had already learned that a Kuomintang army had drawn towards Chifeng, but there was no movement. The more they didn't see any movement, the more panicked they became, so only a small number of troops were drawn from the troops directly under the division to pursue Shi Wenhua's remnants, and other troops sent troops to do small reconnaissance.
A group of devils of the 36th Wing of the 35th Brigade, under the leadership of the squad leader, Captain Mu Fuchun, was the first to be sent out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. They couldn't find their opponents, they couldn't find their targets, they saw that the sky was too high, and the land was too wide, so they held big guns in their hands and fired them at the sky. As soon as the gun rang out, the herd was frightened, running around, and the herdsmen were also quickly hiding, and after a lot of times, the captain of Mu Fuchun found the excitement point from then on, he first aimed the machine gun at the cattle and horses and opened fire, and then saw that people and animals were shot and killed indiscriminately.
The devil has the actions of the commander, and the military Cao and the Cao commanders also learn to play, and later the ordinary soldiers also began to shoot indiscriminately and vent their excitement. By the 28th, this venting was contagious throughout the reconnaissance teams of the grassland, and many groups of devils chased the herdsmen's herds and shots, and they felt that the fall of the cows and horses in rows was more exciting and fun than the fall of the soldiers of the Chinese army.
How can such atrocities not provoke the herdsmen to revolt? The herdsmen resisted, and they took revenge even more, shooting all the men when they saw them, and all the women, whether young or old, were raped and then killed. The excitement of the devils has reached the extreme, and some devils can't find a good-looking woman for a while, and those who have been killed or killed by other devils will rape the corpse again...... There are also devils who see the fallen mare and also go to rape once......
The herdsmen were unprepared, more helpless than their own lambs, and to be scourged, slaughtered, and shot apart from the slightest resistance...... After venting their ** and excitement, the devils lay on the grass and laughed, and some went to destroy the herdsmen's yurts and production and living utensils......
The frightened herdsmen, who could hide and hide, knelt on the grass and prayed to the heavens of eternal life...... Where did this beast come from, an atrocity that has never been seen in the world of immortality...... But Changshengtian, Changshengtian, open your eyes and see, save your people, have pity on these women! In the world of immortality, tigers and wolves will not stand in the way for a long time, but those jackals are still trampling on conscience and living beings......
The situation was quickly reported, the Japanese 11th Brigade advanced from Lindong to the southwest, the 36th Brigade advanced south from Baiyun Aobao, the 16th Cavalry Wing and the 14th Field Artillery Wing, as well as the puppet army Zhang Haipeng, Cui Xingwu and other units, to make mobile configurations...... The small reconnaissance unit released by the Japanese army roamed the grassland wantonly, and returned happily, as if they had forgotten what they had come out for......
In fact, according to the situation of the resistance forces they encountered from Hei, Kyrgyzstan, and Northeast Liaoning provinces, they did not resist a little like Zhang Haipeng and Cui Xingwubu, or disarmed them without resisting at all. Only one regiment here resisted more decently, the other troops did not resist, and it was not good to fight, and it was okay to rob the common people......
The Japanese army has already resorted to the Northeast Frontier Army and local governments through secret services and various channels...... Even so, it is impossible not to resist at all. The devil became more and more uneasy, and even the division commander, Lieutenant General Sakamon Masaemon, was a little unconvinced, and he taught his subordinates to detect and then act, and it was not too late......
The 6th Battalion of the 233rd Regiment's Avant-garde Battalion encountered a group of devils who were mutilating cattle in the south of Moli Naoer...... For the devils who had slackened after this madness, Ma Zhuxian, the commander of the sixth battalion, ordered the sharp knife company to quietly touch forward, stop fifty meters away from the yurt where the devils were scourging, and aim at them.
Half of the squad of devils used machine guns to strafe the herd, many cattle and other livestock were killed and fell to the ground, and the living ones ran away. There were bleeding cows, moo-moo-screaming in horror, looking helplessly at their master's yurt...... The devil, who was still excited, held a gun and bent his waist, circling the yurt...... Zhu Weiliang, deputy commander of the 6th Battalion, led the 2nd Company to the deep grass in the southwest of the yurt and waited. Wang Dashui, the commander of the first company, followed the order of the battalion commander of the horse, and after the devils put down their guns and the sentries were relaxed, they opened fire.
The soldiers saw that outside the yurt, there were four or five corpses of herdsmen who had been shot and killed by the devils, all lying on their backs, and two sheepdogs had also been killed, and they were so angry that they gritted their teeth with rage. A couple of devils in a yurt are harming a young woman. During the period, a devil walked out of the bag, and peed as if no one was around, and a group of devils outside the yurt put big guns together, and looked at the excitement at the door, and couldn't help but coax. There were constantly devils in the house laughing and shouting: "Flower girl, flower girl...... Come here......"
At this time, one of the three sentries also put down his gun and went to the door to watch the excitement, and the other also put his gun with the guns, and went to the yurt, leaving only one sentry to stand guard listlessly. Company Commander Wang Dashui looked at it, if he doesn't fight at this time, when will he stay? He shouted and raised his hand to kill the listless sentry.
Almost at the same time, Wang Pingyong, the commander of the second platoon, threw a grenade at the guns that the devils were hanging on the ground according to the order of the company commander Wang, and the other soldiers also fired at the same time. The devil's sentry fell to the ground, and the other devils' first reaction was to get their guns, and the grenade exploded. But the power of the grenade didn't seem to be used very well, and it looked like the weapon that was only being held was blown down, as if the shepherd's corpse was blocking the pile of devils, but there were also several devils injured over there.
It turned out that the devil chief in the yurt had a gun on his body, and some of the other devils climbed into the yurt to hide, and some dared to crawl to reach the guns that blew up. When Wang Dashui saw it, he couldn't let the dogs reach those guns, and ordered the soldiers to fight to the death. Many soldiers thought that the other party did not have a gun in their hands, so they stood up and shot at the yurt. The soldiers who stood up to shoot were almost all knocked down by the squad leader in the yurt with a pistol one by one.
Company Commander Wang was so angry that he scolded, and said sadly: "Hurry up and lie down for Lao Tzu, whoever the damn let you stand up will become a live target for devils......" Battalion Commander Zhu in the distance also saw it, and scolded angrily: "How did you get Wang Dashui, who trained a soldier and dared to stand up and shoot?" Let the devils all be defeated......"
According to the order, Battalion Commander Zhu was supposed to wait for Company Commander Wang and them to retreat, the devils would definitely pursue, and they would beat the devils' butts in the back. Unexpectedly, Battalion Commander Zhu was angry and opened fire......
There were still a few devils in the yurt who didn't want to die, and used the corpses of their companions as cover, snatched back a few undamaged rifles, and retracted into the yurt to shoot back at these two places.
The devil is a good gun, and every shot can kill the soldiers here. Battalion Commander Zhu first discovered this problem, as long as our soldiers lay down, their calves had to be hooked, which happened to be the temporary target of the devil. If they can't target you, they won't let go of your calves and feet. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhu was deeply heartbroken when he discovered this habit of the soldiers.
The devil didn't take Wang Dashui and them seriously, and even laughed at the soldiers who stood up and shot just now. No matter how many people there were on the other side, he judged that the other party's marksmanship was not much better than Cui Xingwu's Imperial Cooperative Army based on the sound of gunfire.
But they also found that these people have a desperate spirit that the Imperial Allied Army does not have, although they were hit again and again, none of them escaped, even if the bullets flew into the sky, they were fighting back. When they found another Chinese attack in the southwest, they chose to retreat. Dropped more than 20 corpses, smashed the yurt behind its back, and quietly slipped away.
These more than a dozen devils who fled from the desert happened to hit the muzzle of the gun of the first company of the brigade's reconnaissance battalion that had returned, and the marksmanship of the reconnaissance battalion was not very accurate, but there were many people. Although they are all raising their guns and putting them away, they are too late to aim, and they often hit them one by one, after all, the devils are only a few people, and no matter how high the tactics are, they can't stand it, and only two people escaped with injuries......
As soon as the yurt was cleaned up on the battlefield, more than 20 corpses were found inside and outside the yurt, and there were not many people killed by Wang Dashui. Battalion Commander Zhu also hurriedly brought people over and ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and retreat while guarding all around.
The brigade reconnaissance battalion not only broke up the fleeing devils, but also encountered a squad of devils in Hujingzi. These devils drove gangs of cattle and sheep north, and it seemed that they had gained a lot. I wonder how many herders have been harmed by them?
They have already dealt with several batches of such devils, and the soldiers are also red-eyed, seeing that the devils can't hold the fire. Battalion commander Lu Pinsan seized his spare time to explain the battle to the soldiers, and some soldiers had already understood how to concentrate their firepower on the enemy and avoid shooting without aiming......
Battalion Commander Lu and Deputy Fang Jinda also discovered this problem of our soldiers, and strictly ordered the platoon commanders of each company not to allow any soldier to hook his legs when lying down. After taking temporary precautions, he ordered the three companies to hide in three places, and when the devil was moving forward, the first company let go of the platoon and opened fire first. The quality of the devil is high, most people are committed to finding a favorable terrain and immediately fight back, and a few people continue to drive the cattle and sheep forward. As soon as the devils returned fire to the first company, the second company also opened fire behind their flanks.
In the case of continuous attrition, the devils immediately adjusted to favorable terrain, distributed and organized resistance, and continued to fire at our second reconnaissance company. Three companies immediately went into battle, and they hit their flanks and rear from the other direction. After this beating, more than 30 devils fell, and only a few people who were driving cattle and sheep in front of them were left to fight and retreat, and after they were outside the range of the third company, only two people remained, and they fled on a horse.
Battalion Commander Lu and Deputy Fang Battalion ordered to count the number of people, and they also lost more than ten people......
The 9th Battalion of the 234th Regiment's Avant-garde Battalion met the devil in Honggetu and was a cavalry force of reconnaissance. The commander of the dragon battalion ordered the soldiers to dismount and disperse in front of the army, and opened fire on them in unison. The devils and the horses fell to the ground. In spite of this sudden blow, they were not afraid, and it seemed that the excitement of the herdsmen had not yet passed, and they rushed forward with a roar.
Judging from the bullets fired, most of them were inaccurate shots, and from the time they reached the grass, they encountered the Northeast Frontier Guards. In their country, recruits have to be trained for a year, and if they are like this, they will not be able to join the army. It won't be looked down upon, and it's hard to find a job when you go out.
The devil cavalry kept rushing forward, wanting to take down this Chinese army with the advantage of cavalry over infantry. But the further they rushed, the more they lost men, after all, the Chinese army was lying in the grass, in the dark, and they were riding on horses in the light. In the end, a dozen or so people were left to flee on horseback.
Battalion Commander Long and Deputy Wang Liang found that the wind in the grassland was particularly strong, and at this time, as long as the devils slung their waists and ran out of a hundred meters, our bullets would not be able to hit them. Of course, there is an element of outdated weapons, and the main thing is that you can't shoot your own guns. As commanders, they themselves are ashamed that they can't catch up with the devil's war horse with guns and bullets......
