Chapter 36: The Hunters and Prey of the Battle of Ishigaki Island (2
Ishigaki IslandIshigaki Town is located in the western part of the island, and the island's population is concentrated here. The Japanese Murakami Buyoshi Brigade was stationed in the Ishigaki-cho Miyaraden Garden, a samurai-style villa. Built in 1819, this garden villa is the oldest of its kind on Ishigaki Island and Okinawa Prefecture.
In a conference hall, Murakami Takeyoshi looked at the officers of the dozen or so brigades sitting there, and said coldly: "You all know that this black charcoal king is making trouble and destroying the peaceful rule of our Great Japanese Empire, this hateful 'bandits' have killed hundreds of emperors and warriors, and the headquarters has no patience to wipe them all out. As you know, I have issued a military order with Maeda Nakasa, and if I cannot complete this mission, I will be loyal to the emperor with me. ”
More than a dozen officers stood up and bowed their heads in unison.
"The plan we have formulated for this operation is called the Hunter Plan, and we will be as keen as a hunter to hunt them all down, and gather all their heads and pile them in Ishigaki Port, showing the majesty of our Great Japanese Empire, and you will enjoy your prey."
He looked at everyone with a playful look and continued: "I will order: Squadron Okuma Asahide is responsible for guarding Ishigaki Town, Koto Yukinaga Squadron is responsible for guarding Ohama Village in the eastern part of Ishigaki Island, Okamishi Masashi Squadron is responsible for ensuring the safety of the transport brigade, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo Squadron, Sanada Yukio Squadron, Machine Gun Squadron, and Reinforced Artillery Platoon will follow me and the team headquarters into the mountain to clear out the 'bandits'. ”
On the high ground of Xiaoyuekou, Lin Junxiong thought about the situation transmitted back by the scouts, the well-equipped more than 600 Japanese troops were still less than 40 kilometers away from Xiaoyuekou, and it was expected that they would reach Xiaoyuekou tomorrow.
After he once again confirmed that the preparations for the Xiaoyuekou ambush were correct, he handed over the Xiaoyuekou ambush arrangement and command task to Du Sheng, and he was ready to go to lead the Japanese army into depth, if he attacked the Japanese army at Xiaoyuekou, he estimated that he might be able to cause damage to the Japanese army, but his own team would also suffer heavy losses.
Sanada Yukio is lucky, his squadron twice lost more than 100 people due to "bandits", originally after the last Genfukumura incident was being considered by Murakami Takeyoshi to be dismissed, but it happened that the brigade won this operation, not only was not dismissed, but also replenished personnel, this time Murakami Shaozo also equipped him with a machine gun reinforcement squad and a grenadier reinforcement squad, the total number of the team reached more than 200 people. He secretly swore that he would not let go of this group of "bandits" this time, and that he would definitely charge as the vanguard when he had the opportunity, and the only result of another failure would be to be loyal to the emperor.
The Japanese army was stationed in the village of Dengye, which was less than 15 kilometers away from Mao Dengyue, and the distance from here to Xiaoyuekou was only 10 kilometers, and Lin Junxiong and ten people arrived when the sun was setting, and looked at the situation of the Japanese army from a high place from a distance, and got in touch with the wild bear, so that he should always pay attention to it, as long as he could attract more than one squadron of Japanese troops to pass, he would immediately set up a thunderstorm after they passed, destroy the road, and delay the advance of the Japanese army. and immediately attacked the Japanese headquarters in Noborino Village, and then entered Ishigaki Town and Ohama Village respectively to wait for an opportunity to act.
Lin Junxiong groped his way up and saw that the Japanese army was heavily defended and could not blend in at all, only there was an inner lake in the northwest, and there were no Japanese guards outside, so he decided to go over and have a look before making the next step.
Lin Junxiong ordered everyone to seize the time to rest and act in the middle of the night. There is a Japanese army team guarding the village near the lake, Lin Junxiong and they hid on the shore and watched a patrol team of more than ten people coming over, the ten he brought were all good hands trained in the Naha Yue training camp, and when the Japanese searchlight swept by, they quickly and quietly solved the dozen or so people, and then changed into their military uniforms and walked towards the Japanese soldiers stationed at the entrance of the village.
Using the cover of the identity of the Japanese army, more than a dozen were eliminated, and after asking a few Japanese soldiers, they learned the current location of the convoy, found three grenadiers and more than a dozen shells, and several waves of patrolling Japanese soldiers along the way were skillfully deceived by Lin Junxiong, and arrived at the periphery of the convoy's vehicle gathering place, found a suitable position to set up the grenadiers, and after planning the retreat, two rounds of firing, the explosion of the vehicles of the Japanese transport brigade suddenly sounded constantly. Lin Junxiong decisively decided to return the same way, and along the way, the Japanese troops gathered in horror to the location of the convoy, and Lin Junxiong and his party successfully returned to the outside of the village from the Neihu Lake in the northwest.
They groped their way to the east of the village, fired the remaining shells with grenadiers, and waited until the Japanese pursued them before disappearing without a trace.
Murakami Buyoshi slept soundly, was awakened by the sound of explosions, and immediately got up to check, and some soldiers ran over to report that Woods had lost nearly half of his ammunition, and he was even more angry that he blew his beard and glared, and scolded for a while, and ordered the team to carefully check the village and raise the guard level to the highest.
The next day, Lin Junxiong took ten people to stop at ten kilometers away from Dengye Village, and last night there was a trouble, and the Japanese army did not send a vanguard to sweep in front of him, and he was thinking about how to attract the Japanese army. Unable to think of a way for a while, he had to discuss with the wild bear first, and after walking less than a mile, he found that there was an abnormal situation in the bushes on the right, and was about to step forward, when two people flashed out of the bushes, like local villagers, looking at Lin Junxiong and them with a panicked face.
The two walked over slowly, saying that they were the villagers of Dengye Village, because the Japanese army was stationed in their village and killed all their families, they did not dare to go back for the time being, and they wiped their tears as they spoke. Lin Junxiong didn't plan to tell them, but a quick-talking brother said that we were an anti-Japanese team. A flash of brightness flashed in the eyes of the two, and then they said that they had nowhere to go, and begged to take them to fight the Japanese together. Lin Junxiong saw the bright color in their eyes at that moment, pretended to be very sympathetic to them, and agreed to let them join. The two were even more proud, and said that there were still a few villagers in the village who had suffered similar to them, and they were willing to take them to find those people to join the team.
Lin Junxiong recalled that the Japanese army did not find the massacre of the villagers in the village last night, and it was estimated that he wanted to use Dengye Village as a supply transit station, and he was sure that there was something wrong with the two of them, so he said: "Now the Japanese army is going to enter the mountain to encircle and suppress, we are the Flying Dragon Squad, and we have to rush to Xiaoyuekou to gather, and the Flying Dragon Squad will gather and enter the mountain tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it will be too late to find those villagers." ”
When the two saw that Lin Junxiong was reluctant to go, and thought that the Japanese army was about to encircle and suppress him, they did not doubt his words, and one of the villagers said: "Then we will go to them, and we will rush to Xiaoyuekou tomorrow morning to gather with you. ”
Lin Junxiong nodded and said yes, watching the two leave, a smile on his face thickened. Dengye Village was a mountain road at the beginning, and the Japanese transport troops could not advance, so they could only walk, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to arrive tomorrow morning with machine guns and artillery, so it was impossible for them to arrive tomorrow morning, so they could only be lightly armed, so it was up to the Japanese army to take the bait.
The two villagers dressed up as the plainclothes team of the Japanese advance team, got this important information, and hurried back to Noborino Village. The anger of Murakami Buyoshi's attack last night had not yet subsided, and he was angry, and when he heard that a plainclothes team had discovered important information, he immediately called him. After careful inquiry, I guessed that it was very likely that it was the "bandits" who attacked the convoy last night, and the time was too tight, and it was impossible for the large troops to arrive tomorrow morning, but it was even more difficult to eliminate the "bandits" by letting them enter the mountains.
Sanada Yukio seemed to have discovered the dawn, and the opportunity to make meritorious service had come, so he pleaded with Murakami Takeyoshi: "Your Excellency Shaoza, please allow me to lead the team to clear it quickly." ”
Seeing that Murakami Takeshi was hesitant and anxious, he promised: "Your subordinates must be cautious, and if you fail, you are willing to be loyal to the emperor, please fulfill your Excellency." ”
Takeyoshi Murakami looked at Sanada Yukio, nodded and said, "Okay, then Sanada-kun should be cautious, may you have a victorious start and make a good start for the clearance." ”
Sanada Yukio excitedly reassured, and then hurriedly gathered his troops to prepare to advance, and before leaving, a 10-person grenadier squad came to report, and brought a lot of shells, he was even more confident.
Five kilometers away from Xiaoyuekou, Lin Junxiong was talking to the wild bear and bison about various matters to be paid attention to when going deep behind enemy lines, when a member of the team came over and said that more than 200 people from a brigade of the Japanese army had left Norino Village. Lin Junxiong said excitedly: "The prey is coming, brute bears, bison, everything that should be said has been told to you, after this squadron passes, you will destroy the roads along the way, arrange thunder arrays, and rush to the periphery, don't fall in love with the war." It's up to you in Ishigaki and Kohama Village, so be sure to stay safe. ”
Subsequently, Lin Junxiong went to a high ground ten kilometers away from Xiaoyuekou and waited, he was still not at ease, only when the Japanese army entered the Xiaoyuekou ambush circle, he could put his heart down. Looking at the blood-colored sunset, I heard the mountain breeze blowing with a fishy smell, maybe tomorrow will be a bloody rain. I don't know if Lin Junxia is okay in Chinatown Valley, if she misses herself after not seeing her for a few days?
While he was thinking wildly, a member of the team came over and said excitedly: "Captain, here, here." ”
Looking from a high place, there were figures moving forward about two or three kilometers away, and Lin Junxiong carefully confirmed that it was correct before he said excitedly: "Sure enough, let's go, go back to Xiaoyuekou and prepare for battle." The ten people around were all excitedly responding to the fact that the prey was coming, and the battle was finally about to begin.
When he returned to Xiaoyuekou, Du Sheng saw Lin Junxiong's gloomy face, so he stepped forward and comforted: "Big brother, let's think of other ways, and if we can't fight with the Japanese army when the time comes, we will withdraw." ”
"I didn't say that the Japanese advance troops didn't come, what are you kid thinking, I'm thinking about how to eat these more than 200 devils."
"Ah, more than 200, rich, haha more than 200."
Seeing that Du Sheng was about to drool, Lin Junxiong shook his head and knocked on his head, and scolded with a smile: "That's it!" Then he patted Dusheng on the shoulder and said, "Dusheng, these more than 200 Japanese troops are well-equipped, there are forty or fifty machine guns alone, and there are more than 20 grenadiers, which are not delicious." ”
After thinking for a while, he said, "Cousin Jiajun, how far are they from here?" ”
"Hehe, the Japanese army hasn't entered the mountain yet, they are just a few kilometers ahead of us, and it is estimated that they will be able to arrive in an hour or two."
"Then send them a report immediately, come with reinforcements quickly, the enemy is carrying machine guns and so on, the speed will not be very fast, it is estimated that there will be three or four hours to arrive, and after arriving, they should rest before launching an attack. I'll think about it again and refine the ambush plan. ”
