185. The Battle of the Water Spring
When Shimafu Maru Nakasa was driven and finally got out of the woods, Koya Shimosanakasa led the officers and soldiers to the night and drove right from the avenue. Shimafumaru was bleeding from his mouth and hands, and he was put on a horse that was led by Koya's men. It's really a life of nine deaths, he thought to himself, the 117th Brigade, dead and dead. Shimafu Maru and more than 200 injured devils rushed back to Chifeng City overnight for treatment. When Motegi heard that the soldiers had been defeated, he was furious. But when Shimafu Maru and his party passed by Nantaizi, he still came out to visit, greeted them in Japanese Chinese, and encouraged them to heal their injuries before galloping into the field.
Commander Miao took the main force of the 233rd Regiment and hurriedly rushed there following the sound of gunfire, and suddenly strayed into the dense woods, so he couldn't get out. It was also time for Shimafumaru to live a dog's life for the time being, and he and the remnants of his men had just withdrawn in the empty tree, and they arrived. It is a pity that the 233rd Regiment did not catch up with the siege and annihilation of the Shimafu Maru. They all hurried to rescue the officers and men of the 235th Regiment and the 236th Regiment who were heavily smoked by gas, mainly carrying them out for a while. Now that the devil is out, the defenders can't go any further. They took the severely smoked gas, and put them a little farther away, so that they could rest. Then all the people went to the corpse of the devil to dissolve weapons and bullets. It's all done, and it's already past 7 o'clock.
After studying and deciding, he consulted Brigade Commander Ding again, and still lit a torch. This also made the devils aware that they all withdrew to the water spring beam. The devils of Atsutooka had been fighting with the 234th Regiment all the time, and Ono Tataro used artillery, and the defenders who confronted them had to retreat to the dense forest on the mountain. After they withdrew, the Omatsu squadron dropped some corpses and withdrew to the five houses before dark. Koya's three brigades have long been going to aid the Shimafu Maru brigade, but Ono Tataro is afraid that the defenders on Tangjia Mountain will raid his nest. Ono had no choice but to ask Motegi for help and wanted to transfer Yamaoka Kiyoshi's 17th Wing to drive up. The 17th Wing was also dragged by the Rehe Independent Regiment and the Baiji Squad, north and south.
Since he didn't know much about the defenders on Tangjia Mountain, and really didn't know how many people there were, Ono Yataro didn't dare to rush to attack directly to the west from Chiwei Avenue.
The 233rd, 235th, and 236th regiments cleaned up the battlefield and took care of the wounded, and returned to the station on Shuiquangou Liang, which was already 9 o'clock in the evening. According to the order, the 233rd Regiment was stationed in place, closely monitoring the devils, and the 235th and 236th regiments rushed back to their respective positions. Among the wounded of the 233rd regiment, the wounded that could be relieved by a simple bandaging were handled by the regiment's hygienists. The remaining seriously wounded must be taken by the 235th and 236th regiments to Lijiadian or Cangcangba Liang, because tomorrow's battle will not know how cruel it will be.
March 13, 1933, early morning.
The commander of the 233rd Regiment learned through the scouts that Motegi Mae Nozuku obviously felt that the troops were insufficient, and he sent the Okamoto Brother Nai Brigade of the 25th Wing to be stationed in Majiazi, and the main force of the 17th Wing advanced to Gojia, leaving the Gokuma Tanoshita Brigade to be stationed in Ogou Men'er. He was always afraid that there would be more gunshots on Ao Baoliang, so he ordered the 7th Wing Kameda Wufu Dasaru Nishito Squad to remain stationed in Kogamikyon, and the other remaining main forces to drive to Nantaizi.
Ono Taro Osa received an order from Motegi Maenozuki, and as soon as dawn he handed over the military situation and the garrison of each department with Yamaoka Kiyoshi, gathered the remaining men and horses, walked through the large forest, and advanced towards the Suizuzumi Liang attack. After all, Motegi Maenotsuki was the brigade commander, and after considering the overall situation, he suddenly called and said, "Ono Taro Osa, in view of the fact that your unit has been in battle repeatedly on the 12th, and there are many losses in personnel, I order your unit to return the same way." The 17th Wing, led by Yamaoka Jie, attacked the water spring beam to work......"
Ono Taro led the remnants of the Shimao Maru Brigade and the 7th Wing to return the same way, crossed the Yoshiko River, and returned to the main road. After receiving the call, Yamaoka Jesa and Hikobala Nakasa ordered the Honten's Brigade, Kimura Ichiro's Brigade, and the units directly under the Wing, and followed the sketch provided by Ono Otaro Osa to kill in the direction of Suizuzumiliang. The head of the Benten Brigade opened the way, and the empty camp of the 233rd Regiment, although it was empty, was still attacked by several grenadiers, and it had become completely desolate.
Commander Miao had already led a force to move to the southeast. Deputy Xie Tuan led the first division to the southwest, and Chief of Staff Zhang led the regimental headquarters to the west of Shuiquanliang. From morning to noon, frequent firefights were frequent, and the mountains and forests rang loudly, and the forests wailed. In the depths of the Shuiquanliang forest, there is a family called Nanliang Village, and almost all the villagers are surnamed Li.
At more than 8 o'clock in the morning, the morning cooking was up to face the rising sun, Nanliang Village, Lijiadian Village, Tangyingzi Village, Paoergou Village, Shuiquangou Village and Wujia Village, all of which were rising from the smoke of the cooking, but what ushered in was the horror of war. The Japanese army was too strong and well-armed, and at the slightest contact, it could defeat all parts of the 233rd Regiment and could not parry. According to the arrangement of the head of the Miao regiment, all departments are flexible and mobile, and they no longer care about the competition for one place and one village, and they can eliminate the living force of the devils to the greatest extent. The reconnaissance platoon detected that there were many horses in Nanshan Village, and there seemed to be a large family in the middle of the village, and there were a large number of soldiers in the courtyard, who were drinking.
Miao Xie and the two chiefs discussed, since there were soldiers in the courtyard and the horses were tied outside the courtyard, maybe they were bandits, and they would send someone to find out the situation first. Deputy Xie Tuan ordered the reconnaissance platoon to feel the situation again, and after a while, the reconnaissance found the specific situation and was brought back. There is a landlord named Li Kuiwu in this village. His eldest son's name is Li Minghui, who works in the mansion of his grandfather in Karaqin Banner (Jinshan), and his second son, Li Minglong, is a bandit with 1,800 men. Li Minglong is not usually active in the local area, but is often entrenched in the Yinhe River, and sometimes he is also active in the areas of Xilaofu, Beidaliang and Yewopu. This trip is to come back the night before yesterday, and today I will celebrate my father's birthday. The bandits all brought back, firstly, to make a strong momentum, and secondly, to make Daddy happy.
At this moment, the squadron under the front of the Benteng Brigade of the 17th Wing of the Devil was still half a mile away from entering the village. Miao Ziping and Xie Zhanfang intended to let the bandits engage the devils, and most of the bandits dispersed as soon as they were fought; If you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, you might as well join forces with the bandits to deal with the devils. As soon as their ideas were spoken, they were not yet mature, and the sixth battalion was already in a hurry, went to a platoon, and quietly came to the gate of the Li family's house, escorted away the bandits and sentry posts who fed the horses, untied all the horse reins, and drove the horses to rush towards the squadron under the devil's body.
Li Minglong often led the territorial bandits to swim up and down the dam, and the team rode all Mongolian horses. The horses were battle-hardened and never afraid of the sound of gunfire. The squadron under the body did not want the horses to rush in, and it was too late to shoot. The horses in front rushed directly into the group of devils, and the ones behind also rushed up, squeezing the devils into the empty trees, and under the dam boundary, everywhere. The knocked down rolled together, and the horses trampled and screamed. Some of the devils raised their guns to fight, but they didn't see clearly, thinking that they were their own horses. Shao Zuo was almost knocked down, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to rescue the soldiers who were trampled on.
Taking advantage of the fact that the devil was hit and shot off and couldn't care about each other, the 6th Battalion and the 7th Battalion led by Commander Miao and the 8th Battalion led by Deputy Xie Tuan were together and killed the squadron under his body. Shaozo under his body was busy collecting the devils who were scattered by the horses, and some of them couldn't find their guns, and the grenades rolled everywhere. Suddenly, the defenders arrived, and when they saw that it was indeed the defenders, it was too late, and those who rushed to the front picked up their broadswords and slashed indiscriminately. The subordinates had to order their subordinates to stop them to the death, and under the escort of the guards, they organized a formation and fought and walked.
The main force of the 233rd Regiment rushed down the slope, and the soldiers bravely moved forward, but the enemy in the squadron under his body could not resist, and his subordinates led the remnants of the soldiers to retreat to the lower beam. Just when the chief of staff of Feiqubala led the main force of Benteng's brigade to find the defenders to no avail, he was very angry when he heard what Shaozo said, and saw their embarrassed state. He pulled out the saber, inserted it into the scabbard again, raised his hand to slap his body twice, and scolded: "Waste, stupid, lead the way in front of the head, and kill the ground in the big ......" The subordinates had to command the soldiers to lead the way in front of the head, and then killed and came to Nanshan Village.
Deputy Xie Tuan, the head of the Miao regiment, saw that the number of devils had increased, and he came back with a vigorous killing, knowing that the devils wanted to bite him. The two armies immediately found favorable terrain and attacked each other using tree pits and earthen dams as covers. Although the devil is well-armed, it can attack upwards, which is a bit troublesome. Although the Miao regiment commander and they occupy a favorable terrain, they are not full of bullets, and most of the guns are old-fashioned Hanyang-made rifles, and the 38 big covers that capture the devils account for one-third, and they are not one when they shoot at the devils. Commander Miao also immediately sent scouts to monitor the devils from all over the world to prevent them from adopting a frontal containment and dividing troops to sneak attack behind them.
The two sides were equal in numbers, but the disparity in weapons was huge, and if the defenders had one more man on the right side, the other devils of the 17th Wing would be able to cripple the brigade if they couldn't catch up.
This fierce battle is in full swing, and the big landlord Li Kuiwu family in Nanliang Village, the second son Li Minglong and the eldest brother Li Minghui are selling it to their father. For the sake of the scenery and the excitement, the bandits are free to drink. The brothers also had to try their best to accompany the second elder and the relatives who came to celebrate his birthday and celebrities from all walks of life in the vicinity, talking and reminiscing. Suddenly, someone reported that the horses had been let go, and the bandits were most afraid of losing their leg strength, so Li Minglong hurriedly took people out to see what was going on. The people who kept the sentry and fed the horses were released for half a day. Yu Qiang, the little leader, said: "I don't know if it's the military master, when he comes, he forced us to the small ditch in front of the woods over there." And that's not all, they came up with half a handful of men, untied the reins of the horses, and drove the horses down the mountain. ”
A few bandits were afraid that the big boss would lose his temper, so he quickly explained: "Their guys are better than us, so they don't dare to move." Besides, their gray-blue uniforms are full of blood, which is quite terrifying......"
Li Minglong slapped a few of them, and after the pumping, he let a few of them go into the hospital to eat. At this time, the bandits, who had eaten half a meal, all came to the gate with their guns in their hands to see what was going on. Startled, the two groups of people were fighting fiercely under the beam. They climbed to a high place and looked down, and there were soldiers in yellow clothes in the area of the waterlogged bubbles in the north, and the soldiers in gray and blue clothes were fighting down the beams in the south. The yellow-clothed soldiers, neatly dressed, shiny leather boots, and new weapons, the gray-blue soldiers, their clothes were shabby, and their guns were worn, but both sides fought bravely.
Li Minglong suddenly woke up and said, "That group must be a little Japanese child...... He thought for a long time, and then said to the bandit next to him: "When did the little devil hit here?" I heard that the Chinese army can't defeat the little devils, and the Northeast Army has been beaten by them. Which unit is this who is going to die with the little devil? ……”
Most of the bandits are night owls with good eyes. Li Minglong was thinking about things, and suddenly, two or three bandits exclaimed in unison, reminding the big boss to pay attention to the devils. Li Minglong looked down and saw a devil chief in the forest, who was using a telescope to observe the beam where they were. It was clear that the devils had already discovered them. At this time, the devil commander waved his hand, only to hear a "horn-boom" gunshot, and a bullet flew over with a "pee". Relying on their preparations, they all immediately moved their positions, otherwise they would really be hit by one of them.
Li Minglong was angry when he saw it, and scolded: "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu didn't beat you, you should give Lao Tzu a head shot first, thinking that Lao Tzu's mountain gate is easy to open?" The bandits all raised their guns and shouted: "Big boss, this breath can't be bearable, give him an afterthought...... Li Minglong waved his hand, stretched out his hand to take a pistol, raised his hand and shot it......
