53. Udan of the Beacon Fire of Bahrain lights wolf smoke
Brigade Commander Ding, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji, Chief of Staff Zhang and other commanders crossed the Xilamulun River with almost all the directly subordinate units that had been disabled, and marched in the direction of Wudan in the dark night, chasing the remnants of the main regiments.
A soldier from a reconnaissance battalion rushed up and reported to them: "Report to the commander, after our department has learned, the 73rd Wing of the 11th Brigade of the Japanese Army has been making constant phone calls, and it is estimated that after dawn, it will immediately move and attack in the direction of the Bahrain Bridge...... In addition, the enemy's 36th Brigade has been frequently transferred from Baiyin Aobao, and it will set off after dawn and move south through the Bahrain steppe with the 35th and 34th Wings......"
Chief of Staff Zhang patted the scout on the shoulder on the horse, and said to him with appreciation: "Which battalion are you from, the situation is very timely, and then we will report ......."
The scout listened to the chief of staff, reported the number of his battalion, saluted the commanders, and flew on his horse into the night.
At this time, two cars drove up behind, and the wheels could be seen in the dust through the lights in the night.
It turned out that the 2nd Company of the 10th Battalion of the 234th Regiment was escorting the Japanese army, and the two cars had just arrived. The two devils who were driving the car were extremely uncooperative at first, and they were so angry that Li Zhengyi, the commander of the second company, wanted to kill them and set fire to the car again, so that they could chase after the large army. Later, he met Lin Ruyuan, who followed the 233 regiment, and Chun Mizuzawa. They all know Japanese and communicate well with devils. After the two of them enlightened in Japanese for a while, the two devils finally got the hang of it. Chun Mizuzawa said to the two of them: "I agree, agree with the land, the imperial army is invading ......, they are fighting a just war, our land is not right, it is very wrong......"
The two devil drivers drove and stopped first, always saying that the car was broken down and there was nothing they could do...... This time, I was relieved to see that Spring Water was doing well, and it didn't happen.
Deputy Brigade Commander Ji ordered Li Zhengyi, the company commander, to catch up with the 234th Regiment in front of him, hand over all the guns on the car to them, and if they didn't have time to use these guns, or didn't want to get them, they would want to transport them to the artillery brigade......
Brigade Commander Ding ordered by telephone that the remnants of the 233rd Regiment and the remaining men and horses of the 18th Regiment should wait and advance along the line of Wutong Naoer and Mutougou. The 234th Regiment continued to advance southeast at Wutong Naoer, along Wuha Avenue, drove into a Japanese car, and advanced with great fanfare. The 235th Regiment and the brigade headquarters and its subordinate units, as well as the rout troops collected along the way, stopped at Udan for a while, and also followed along the Wuha Avenue.
Subsequently, after understanding the actual situation of the various units, they made adjustments and informed the 233rd, 234th, and 18th regiments by telephone that the forwards of the 233rd, 234th, and 18th regiments would stop along the road in Wudannan, and that the officers and men were too tired and could camp on the spot...... Director Han also drafted a telegram to the military headquarters, stating the fatigue of the troops and the reality of being disabled, explaining that all units must take a temporary rest and at the same time must rescue the wounded along the way......
The military headquarters immediately sent a telegram back, saying that it basically agreed with the decision of the brigade headquarters, and asked all units to advance in coordination, and it was best to rush back to the North Hara Pass on the morning of 2 March, and take advantage of the distance of the Japanese 6th Division to block the northern wide front of the Motegi Brigade......
Subsequently, the remnants of the 235th Regiment of the brigade headquarters arrived one after another, and some of them were forty miles away from Wudan and thirty miles, and they camped on the spot.
In order for the officers and men to take a rest, the commanders of the regiments and other commanders were not asked to come to the meeting, but the brigade headquarters found a yurt near Udan, and the commanders did not feel sleepy at all, and held a meeting overnight.
Brigade Commander Ding said: "At present, our brigade and the military headquarters are all subordinate departments, together with the 18th Regiment in the northeast, all of them have become exhausted divisions due to the bloody battle with the Japanese army, and the structure is incomplete, and seven-tenths of the officers and men are wounded, and the casualties of the middle and lower commanders of the battalion and company cannot be counted. In order to realize the overall deployment of the military headquarters to go south and encircle Motegi, it was necessary to travel south. But the situation in front of us is too urgent, and we are too tired.
In the past two days, our various units have worked closely together, and although they have severely damaged one wing of the Japanese army and basically wiped out one wing, the 6th Division of the 6th Division has almost suffered a small injury, and it should be that the wounded muscles have not moved to the bones, and it still has two brigades and regiments and directly subordinate units eager to try, and the troops are driven south, and the pressure on the rear of our unit is still increasing.
From Wudan to the southeast, there is the 4th Brigade of the Motegi Cavalry supplemented by the Tongliao Headquarters, the south looks at Chifeng City, and the north can intercept our troops, and the Japanese Tongliao Command has sent a rapid reaction force under the command of Koiso Kuniaki has also set out, although they are entangled by the Anti-Japanese Federation and the Volunteer Army in Fuxinbei, they should not be underestimated......"
The brigade headquarters considered that the commanders of all regiments on the front line were very tired and most of them were wounded, and asked them to rest with the troops first, but except for the commanders of the 234th Regiment, Yang Ganmiao, Zhu Zhongliang, and the deputy of the regiment, who had been seriously injured and had been transported away with the army, the other regiment commanders could not sleep, and they came uninvited to listen to Brigade Commander Ding to study the new deployment.
The 234th Regiment was replaced by Deputy Brigade Commander Zhang Qiaoya.
Brigade Commander Ding was very relieved to see that although the regiment commanders were tired, they were uninvited, and his spirits were lifted. As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji said:
The brigade headquarters first informed the 233rd Regiment and the 234th Regiment to go south from Wutong Naoer to the south, and only considered the orders of the military headquarters, and did not consider that the departments were extremely tired. You're all here, and the brigade headquarters is relieved.
Everyone has heard what Brigade Commander Ding said about the situation of the enemy and us in the Bahrain steppe, so now we will study the next step of our unit......
Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang Qiaoya said: "The brigade headquarters wants the remnants of our two advance guard regiments and the remnants of the 18th Regiment of the Northeast Army to move south, didn't the military headquarters just order us to go south to promote the Chifeng Outer Front, the morale of the soldiers of our regiment is high, and there is no problem in advancing." However, it is really necessary to take a break, and the commander of the spy company, Wang Chuanhu, said: "The soldiers of their company have fallen asleep on their horses a lot, and there are some who fall off their horses after falling asleep......
Regimental Commander Li Shusen was wearing a bandage on his arm, tired to exhausted, and his spirit was still very high, he seemed to throw away the fatigue as soon as he shook his head, and said with a smile: "The personnel of the field hospital are also very hard, so many wounded soldiers have to be taken away, as well as the regiment commander Yang Ganmiao and Zhu Zhongliang, as well as the brigade commander Zhao Wenhua, and the deputy of the regiment (the remaining soldiers, led by the battalion commander Li Enrong), all have to be carried on stretchers, and our regiment has sent two companies of soldiers to help them transport them forward, from Wutong Naoer to Mutougou are all wounded......
Deputy Brigade Commander Ji turned his head to Brigade Commander Ding and Director Han and said, "Rely on the wounded to come down and transport them away, otherwise, there are so many wounded, we are thinking about it at this meeting...... He turned to Commander Li and said, "Commander Li, you can continue!" ”
Regiment Commander Li said: "I have similar meanings to Deputy Zhang, although our regiment has been reduced by half, the morale of the soldiers is high, and Japanese weapons have been replenished. ”
Everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Wenlin of the 235th Regiment, Commander Zhao had a bandage around his neck, but his thick eyebrows and big eyes were full of energy, and although the military uniform was very old, it was difficult to hide his heroic temperament. He is 1.7 meters tall, and he stands there like a mountain.
He said without worry: "My unit is the rear army, so I'll talk about the situation behind." First of all, this battle was a night attack-style fight, a quick battle, and gave the Japanese 33rd Wing the greatest casualties, but all units of our army were also injured more than half, and the departments hurriedly retreated south, and there were still many wounded who were not taken away......
Of course, the southward withdrawal of the brigade headquarters is the overall arrangement of the military headquarters. The other thing is that the sky will soon dawn, and the Japanese army may be chasing us from both sides of the north and east, putting us in a dangerous situation of being overwhelmed by large soldiers...... At the same time, I have sent a reinforced company to pick up the Mongolian people to transport the personnel who have been supplied by the captured Japanese army......"
After he finished speaking, Chief of Staff Wang also talked about the issue of communications, and asked all regiments and directly subordinate units, including the communications battalion of the military headquarters and the communications battalion of the brigade headquarters, to strengthen communications and liaison, and asked Wang Zhiyuan, deputy commander of the communications battalion of the military headquarters, to send people to the south on a concurrent journey, go straight to Chifeng City via Mutougou, and send a telephone set and a switchboard to the military headquarters to strengthen ties......
The commanders of the direct lines also talked about some practical problems.
After listening to this, Director Han said: "The two brigade commanders, the ministers, after listening to your speeches, the departments under the jurisdiction of the 117 Brigade are facing the danger of interception before the pursuers, but there is no way to crack it. First of all, the idea of fighting an active war has been formed in all units of our army, which are sober-minded and have high morale. The commanders will attack and advance, taking into account other factors, and the battlefield situation will definitely bring us the initiative......
On behalf of me, thank you...... In order to deal with the pursuers behind, it is better to give full play to the brainstorming methods of everyone to see how to deal with them. Looking south of Udan, Motegi's cavalry may block our path, but it is just in line with the deployment of the military headquarters to encircle them......"
As soon as everyone heard him talk about this, the atmosphere became more active, and the deputy of the 235th Regiment looked at Director Han and said happily: "Yes, you are throwing bricks and stones, and you will have a good way to play if you think about it again......"
Du Wanshui, the deputy head of the special service group, also had a flash of inspiration and said: "Yes, yes, there should be a way to fight, first break the enemy in the rear......"
Chief of Staff Wang also smiled and said, "You two may want to go together, who will say it first?" Deputy Lin Tuan saw that Deputy Du Tuan was groaning endlessly, and thought to himself, after all, people are subordinate to the military department, so let the family talk first! He smiled and said, "Captain Du, you can say it first!" ”
Brigade Commander Ding said: "Deputy Du Tuan, you will speak first......
In the end, Deputy Du Tuan said to Deputy Brigade Commander Ji beside him: "Wolf smoke." Deputy Lin Tuan also walked up to Deputy Brigade Commander Ji and said softly, "Wolf smoke." ”
After hearing this, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji stood up happily and said, "The two of them coincide, and they both talk about wolf smoke. ”
Everyone suddenly realized, and the room erupted in laughter. Brigade Commander Ding pointed at Director Han and said, "Throwing bricks to attract jade, throwing bricks to attract jade......"
When everyone stopped laughing, he said majestically and chicly: "I order, the 235th Regiment will send two companies, while the sky is still dark, gallop north, and set fire to the southern slope of Moligou in the west of the Bahrain Bridge and the Haisural Mountain east of Baiyin Zhuoer...... Find Haritu along the way and ask him to send two guides."
