Chapter 121: The Battle of Songhu: The Ambush in the Bamboo Garden (1)

On September 22, Lin Junxiong received an urgent telegram from the division headquarters that the Japanese army encountered stubborn resistance from Liao Lei's 21st Army on the south bank of Fuzaobang, and the two sides were deadlocked.

Lin Junxiong summoned the officers above the company commander to discuss.

"The Japanese army will be able to arrive at Zhuyuanling as soon as tomorrow night, Deputy Regiment Commander Pan, can the deployment of the troops be completed in time?"

"Commander, time is a bit tight, we have completed nearly 40 cover caves, and there are more than 10 that will be completed as soon as the morning after tomorrow."

"Chief of Staff Wei, how many days have the supplies for the troops been prepared?"

"The regiment commander, you can hold out for at least five days, and the division headquarters only asks to hold on for two to three days, and there is no problem at all."

"In this way, Deputy Regiment Commander Pan continued to lead the troops to deploy defenses, and strive to complete them the morning after tomorrow, and I took the noble guard company to the front to find a suitable ambush point to block the advance of the Japanese army."

"Regiment commander, it's better for me to take the guard company to complete the delay task, the 89th regiment still needs you to command the defensive battle behind, you can't have any accidents at this juncture."

"It's okay, the Japanese army will only arrive tomorrow night, as long as we find a suitable ambush point, there is no problem in blocking for a while, and as long as the delay is delayed until dark, after dark, the Japanese army will not be able to figure out the truth and dare not act rashly, I can also take this opportunity to see the Japanese army's firepower deployment, and make corresponding countermeasures for the defense of Zhuyuan Ridge."

Gao Shang wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Junxiong's resolute appearance, he had no choice but to obey orders. Lin Junxiong looked at more than a dozen officers, and then asked: "Are you all ready, although the Japanese army is sending a brigade in advance, but then it is very difficult that we will face a division of Japanese troops." ”

"Regiment commander, don't worry, everyone is waiting with their hands, the morale of the soldiers is very high."

"Yes, regiment commander, even if we are facing a division, we will have no problem holding out for two days."

"Okay, then everyone go back and prepare separately, according to the defense plan formulated earlier, I will strive to rush back the morning after tomorrow, and I will be under the full command of Deputy Regiment Commander Pan during my absence, including any messages from Shangfeng."

Pan Zhiyang walked at the end, and when he saw that everyone else had left, he turned to Lin Junxiong and said, "Regiment Commander, I still think it's best for you to stay here during this time, you are the backbone of the entire 89th regiment." ”

Lin Junxiong patted Pan Zhiyang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Pan, don't worry so much, it's just to fight an ambush battle, and I will rush back as soon as possible." ”

Pan Zhiyang saw that persuasion was ineffective, so he had to shake his head and leave. Lin Junxiong said to Gao Shang: "Company Commander Gao, I have been at the division headquarters, and I have a rare opportunity to confront the enemy head-on, how about it, are you nervous?" ”

"Regiment commander, you are a bit underestimated, the guard company I led has also participated in the battle against the ** many times, not to mention that it has been experienced in a hundred battles, but it is not so nervous."

"Hehe, that's good, then you go and gather the troops immediately, don't carry heavy weapons, and we'll set off in an hour."

Lin Junxiong took Gao Shang and the guard company along the road for nearly twenty miles before ordering to stop, and then he entered the plain area, Lin Junxiong looked around and found that he could only find a suitable place to set up an ambush at the starting point of the Yuehua Mountain Range.

After Lin Junxiong chose the ambush site, he asked Gao Shang to lead people to plant explosives on the road in front of the ambush site, which was enough to blow up a section of the road to stop the Japanese mobile troops, and then after laying some mines in front, he returned to the ambush site to build some improvised fortifications and do some concealment.

After everything was ready, it was already dark, and Lin Junxiong and the soldiers had dinner and stood alone on a high place looking at the endless dark night sky. He suddenly wanted to hug Xue Nai and touch Weimei, even if he just sat quietly, everything was so beautiful, but in this era of smoke, this simple wish turned into a luxury. He misses his parents in Hong Kong, which is currently the territory of the British, Japan is afraid of the British and does not dare to attack Hong Kong for the time being, it is safe for the time being, although his soul comes from many years later, but he has forgotten those memories that he can't go back to over the years, and he is completely good at Lin Junxiong, he also wants to be with his parents, but this simple happiness is only a luxury now.

He still misses Lin Junxia very much, he knows that the so-called Phantom Heart Stone is not ethereal, there must be a possibility of realization, and now there are still two years before that last moment, all he can do is to wait silently, waiting to witness the miracle of that moment.

In the face of the upcoming war, Lin Junxiong suddenly found that he was not as chic and generous as he imagined to go to the country, and he still had so much concern and reluctance in his heart.

The late autumn evening breeze with the chill pulls Lin Junxiong back to reality from the depths of his thoughts, maybe he can't change what is destined to happen, but what is destined to happen is full of unknowns, so everything is still in his own hands, submission and weakness will only make failure follow, Lin Junxiong warned himself to stick to his heart, not afraid of difficulties, those unknowns will be written by himself.

The next day, Lin Junxiong and the soldiers continued to complete the preparations, close to noon, two planes suddenly flew in the sky, circled for a while and then roared away, the plane came suddenly, coupled with the flight higher, Lin Junxiong They did not have time to dodge, and they could not see clearly whether it was a Chinese or Japanese plane, but he was more vigilant in his heart, he inspected the retreat route again, and then asked Gao Shang to lead people to plant explosives on a cliff in a narrow part of the road, in case of an emergency during the retreat.

After lunch, Lin Junxiong ordered the troops to rest in place and prepare to retreat after the night blockade. He leaned against a tree, restless and inexplicably irritable. He wanted to close his eyes and recuperate, but he couldn't calm down, he found Gao Shang, thought about it and ordered Gao Shang to arrange for the troops to abandon the original ambush site and retreat to the dense forest 100 meters away.

When Gao Shang heard that he was going to give up the ambush site that he had built for a day, he was a little depressed, and seeing that Lin Junxiong didn't mean to explain, he had to go to carry out the order with a low mood.

Lin Junxiong's sudden order puzzled the soldiers, but Lin Junxiong had no way to explain, could it be his own intuition? That will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, so it is better not to say anything than to explain it clearly, and let the facts prove everything, and I hope that my instincts are not wrong.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, more than 1,000 Japanese troops appeared in the front, and when the investigating soldiers sent the news back, Lin Junxiong immediately ordered the shadow team Wang Biao and Zhao Xing to hide in the place where the explosives were planted, and once the Japanese army approached, immediately ignite the lead and quickly retreat, and at the same time ordered the troops to be ready for battle.

When the Japanese army was about three or four hundred meters away from the original ambush point, it suddenly stopped, Gao Shang Xing may have not participated in the war for a long time, stared at the stopped Japanese army a little nervously, and asked Lin Junxiong in a low voice: "Regiment commander, the Japanese army stopped like this, it can't be that they have discovered something, right?" ”

"I don't know, wait and see, if it really doesn't work, let's detonate the explosives and retreat immediately."

After the Japanese troops stopped, the artillery quickly took up their positions and bombarded Lin Junxiong's original ambush site indiscriminately.

Despite a hundred meters away, the deafening sound of shell explosions still tormented the hearts of the soldiers. Lin Junxiong looked at the slightly nervous soldiers, he chose to take this guard company to carry out this ambush, in fact, there are two considerations, one is that he is familiar with his own team, and he is also very clear about the combat effectiveness, which must be used in the deployment of Zhuyuan Ridge, and the actual combat effectiveness of the noble guard company is immeasurable and cannot be used in important positions; Second, the guard company of the noble belt has not experienced a vicious battle, and if it does not warm up in advance, when the battle of Zhuyuanling starts, if there is any abnormality, it will affect the battle of the entire regiment.

Gao Shang looked at the nervousness of the team he brought, looked at Lin Junxiong with some embarrassment, and then whispered to a soldier beside him: "Pass the order, let everyone prepare to fight like a man, don't be a coward to Lao Tzu at the critical moment, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill him." ”

After speaking, he said to Lin Junxiong: "It is estimated that it has been a long time since I have encountered such a frontal battle, everyone is a little nervous, just wait for the battle to start." ”

Lin Junxiong looked at Gao Shang, held back a smile, and responded with a smile.

"Regiment Commander, you are so powerful, how did you expect that the place where we ambushed was discovered by the Japanese army?"

"I said intuition, do you believe it?"

"Intuition? Impossible. ”

"The plane at noon should be a reconnaissance plane of the Japanese army, they circled a few times and left, which made me vigilant, I would rather believe that it was a crisis than use casualties to sum up the lessons after defeat, this is my belief in the army for several years, and it is also a kind of soldier's keen intuition."

"However, if it is a Japanese reconnaissance plane, why don't they fire at us and disrupt our deployment?"

"There may be casualties if we do that, but it shouldn't be too big, if we continue to stay there, wouldn't the casualties be even greater if the Japanese bombardment is as unexpected as it is now?"

Gao Shang broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that if he was in command, maybe he would have already suffered more than half of the casualties in the face of the Japanese artillery fire now, and he couldn't help but begin to admire this young major general.

The Japanese commander observed the situation after a burst of artillery shelling through a telescope and ordered a squadron leader next to him to lead the infantry to attack. Soon the squadron leader led people to occupy Lin Junxiong's original ambush place, and after a search, suddenly several grenade explosions sounded, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers accidentally touched Lin Junxiong's grenade burial after they evacuated during the search.

After the Japanese squadron leader reported the search situation to the commander, the commander was so angry that he scolded: "Yaga, cunning Shina. ”

"Your Excellency Uta Nakasa, shall we move on now?"

It turned out that this commander was the Utashiro Brigade of the 101st Division of the Japanese Ito Masaki, and Utashiro said to the officer who was questioning with a blushing face: "Order the troops, immediately search and advance, and you must rush to Zhuyuan Ridge before dark, and it is best to reach Zhuyuan Village to rest." ”

Lin Junxiong observed the movements of the Japanese army, saw that the Japanese army was preparing to advance, and said to Gao Shang: "The Japanese army is coming soon, order the troops to prepare for battle." ”

After more than 100 Japanese troops passed through the position where the explosives were planted on the road, Lin Junxiong stood up and raised the rifle in his hand, aimed at a Japanese commander in front, pulled the trigger, and after a gunshot, the Japanese officer was accurately hit, and at the same time, Gao Shang ordered the troops to open fire, and Wang Biao and Zhao Xing immediately ignited the explosives fuse after hearing the gunshot, and after observing that the fuse burned normally, they moved in the direction of the large army from the high place on the hillside.

After a brief panic in the face of a surprise attack, the follow-up troops immediately dispersed, and the troops in front also quickly launched a counterattack. A few minutes later, a huge explosion sounded, and in an instant, the whole area seemed to shake like a mountain, and the highway was blown open a gap nearly 20 meters wide, and the water of the Zhuyuan River quickly submerged the gap, and dozens of the more than 100 Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front were killed and injured because they were too close to each other.
