Chapter 41: The Battle of Ishigaki Island: The Bloody Battle of the Valley of the Tang Dynasty (1
More than ten days later, Murakami Bukit climbed the hill and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, more than a dozen simple fortifications built according to the terrain had been completed, and according to the news from the plainclothes team, the main force of the "bandits" was still in their encirclement. The road to Xiaoyuekou behind him has been opened, and transport vehicles can directly send supplies to Xiaoyuekou; His own report to Maeda Hidetaka said that there were nearly 1,000 "bandits" and that more than 600 had been eliminated, but his own brigade had also suffered nearly 200 casualties. Maeda Hidetaka blamed him for causing too many casualties among his troops, and at the same time affirmed his achievements, and sent two squadrons of the Asama Jingrong Brigade to help him garrison the rear, and sent him another batch of supplies, ordering the clearance to be completed as soon as possible.
Now that the supplies have arrived, the weapons and ammunition are sufficient, and a squadron of the Chaochang Jingrong Brigade has been arranged by him to be stationed in Xiaoyuekou to ensure the transportation and supply, and it can be regarded as having no worries at all. The troops were then ordered to advance the encirclement another 5 kilometers to the area where the "bandits" were frequented.
When Lin Junxiong received information that the enemy had sent two more squadrons to ensure supplies and stabilize the rear, he ordered the first team of the wild bears to retreat to the Tang Valley while harassing the enemy's supply lines. He thought it was time to beat Murakami's Bukit Brigade again, and then leave Ishigaki Island to go to Iriomote Island to rest and replenish the team, and now he had a detachment of less than 50 people.
At the same time, Lin Jiajun's second detachment, Fenghuang's fourth detachment, and Tang Fangfei's fifth detachment were ordered to immediately carry out the attack and harassment plan, and the Japanese army's vain attempt to use the tactics of dangerous terrain and layer by layer to eliminate the troops.
On December 20, 1929, Hayashi announced to the team the start of the plan for a decisive battle with Murakami's Bukit Brigade, and ordered the five teams to act according to the plan.
On December 22, 1929, the fortress stronghold set up on the east side of Murakami's Bukit Brigade was bombed, losing 12 soldiers, and reinforcements rushed to make it, but there was no trace of "bandits".
On December 23, 1929, a pass fortification arranged on the west side of Murakami's Bukit Brigade was destroyed, and 9 soldiers were lost.
On December 25, 1929, a squad of 54 people of the Akai Naomasa squadron of the Chaochang Jingrong Brigade escorting supplies was ambushed and annihilated.
On December 27, 1929, when Murakami Buyoshi thought that the "bandits" would attack the south, a stronghold on the west side of the brigade was attacked again, and 12 people were lost.
In six days, the troops were attacked four times, and 87 people died, but they did not even see the shadow of the "bandits", and Murakami Takeyoshi felt that the battle was depressed. If Maeda Nakasa had known the details of the matter, he would have died immediately one day. Murakami Takeshi has no way to calm down, he must make a desperate bet to find the main force of the "bandits" to fight a decisive battle, eliminate them all, make up for each "bandit", and pile up the corpses to show the public, in order to vent the depression and anger in his heart.
Murakami Bukitchi sent four convenience teams, asking them to find the main force of the "bandits" as soon as possible, and he also asked the soldiers to hold a loudspeaker to the mountain every day and shout that the "bandits" are cowards, and if it is a man, stand up and duel in a dignified manner!
"Duel in a dignified manner, I don't know if my brain is in the water, or if you were kicked in the head by a donkey." Lin Junxiong thought to himself when he heard Takeyoshi Murakami's words. He felt that this Murakami Buji was shameless, Nima, run with dozens of doors, more than a hundred machine guns at you, and say stand up, I want to duel with you, he feels that the time is not yet ripe, and he must make this Murakami Buji completely lose his mind again, and then fight with him.
On this day, Lin Junxiong took Du Sheng, Wu Hansheng and Shang Tianen to inspect the layout of the final battle venue, Tang Ren Valley, and as he walked, he asked Shang Tianen: "Old Five, if you are Murakami Takeshi and you find your opponent hiding in such a valley, will you do this first?" ”
"I will first bombard with artillery to destroy some of the opponent's fortifications, then make a tentative attack, and finally send a large force to charge." Shang Tianen said seriously, he thought that Lin Junxiong was testing his recent learning.
Lin Junxiong nodded, and asked Wu Hansheng sideways: "Fourth, if you are the opponent of the valley, and your enemy does what the fifth brother said, how do you deal with it?" ”
"I will move the fortifications to the depths of the valley, and use mobile forces such as grenadiers to strike at the mouth of the valley, and first paralyze the enemy who comes first, introduce a large force into the valley, and then send a force to complete the encirclement at the mouth of the valley." Wu Hansheng also replied nervously.
"Very good, it seems that you have made a lot of progress during this time. But we can't be proud, and we must continue to work hard. "Receiving the boss's appreciation, both of them were happy in their hearts, they were less people than the Nahadake training camp in Lin Junxiong
After studying around for a year, I can't drink shadows compared to them, and Lin Junxiong was born and died several times.
On the night of the 28th, the brute bear and bison bypassed the Japanese encirclement from the other side and returned to the base camp.
On December 29, 1929, another fortress stronghold set up on the east side of Murakami's Bukit Brigade was bombed, losing 13 soldiers.
On December 30, 1929, all 23 soldiers in the station of a squad on the south side of the front of Murakami's Bukit Brigade were killed, and all 23 soldiers were stripped naked and hung from trees, leaving only diapers and underwear.
On January 1, 1930, Lin Junxiong convened a military meeting above the deputy detachment commander to make the final arrangements for the Battle of Tangren Valley.
"Probably many people are insulting the dead by ordering me to strip the Japanese soldiers naked. But think of the defenseless people of the Ryukyus who were killed by the Japanese army, and think of the innocent women who pleaded but could not escape the fate of being raped. War is cruel, requiring us to use extraordinary means at extraordinary times, we are at a disadvantage in terms of equipment and numbers, and if we want to win this battle, we must first drive Murakami Buyoshi crazy. Now Murakami Buyoshi should have collapsed, and the time for a decisive battle has come. ”
"I ordered the first detachment to lay an ambush on the left side of the valley according to the fortifications, the fifth detachment to lay an ambush on the right side of the valley according to the fortifications, the fourth detachment to hold on to the fortifications in the depths of the valley when the enemy attacked, and the second detachment to be ready to support the third detachment at the mouth of the valley at any time in addition to protecting the fifth detachment on the right side when the battle began. The task of the third detachment was to stop the enemy at all costs after entering the valley. If there were reinforcements on the enemy's periphery, the second detachment would immediately go to Taniguchi to block it. ”
"Wu Hansheng and Shang Tianen followed me to the valley to lead the enemy, and Dusheng also lent me Lin Jialiu's class first, and after leading the enemy into the urn, they returned to the battle position."
"Brothers and sisters, this is a real war of blood and fire, unlike previous ambushes or raids. Through this battle, we will completely annihilate the notorious team of Murakami Buyoshi, and then withdraw to Iriomote Island to rest. Only by truly going through the baptism of brutal fire can the troops have a fighting style of being brave and tenacious, firm and composed, and not afraid of sacrifice. ”
"Does everyone understand? Is there confidence? ”
"Understood."
"Yes."
On January 2, 1930, Lin Junxiong took Wu Hansheng, Shang Tianen and more than a dozen soldiers to accurately appear in the sight of the Japanese plainclothes team. This Japanese plainclothes team has long been under Lin Junxiong's surveillance, and it's time for them to send back some useful information.
"Boss, you said that the commander had nothing to do, didn't this battle be fought well?"
"Yes, boss, it's still a meeting of all the anti-Japanese troops, saying that it is to boost morale and prepare to retreat."
Wu Hansheng and Shang Tianen sang and said in harmony.
Lin Junxiong sighed and said: "Now that Murakami Takeshi is about to attack in an all-out way, if we don't retreat, we will be encircled, and the commander is thinking about it in the long run." After the meeting on the 4th, it is estimated that the 5th will start to retreat, and when the time comes, it will be more frightening to the Japanese. Haha"
"Haha"
Several people laughed, and a dozen warriors behind them also laughed.
After chatting for a while, Lin Junxiong said, "Let's go, let's go to the gathering place first and wait for the other brothers." Then he led the group away and headed in the direction of the Valley of the Ages
The Japanese plainclothes team watched Lin Junxiong enter the Chinatown Valley, and there were still many guards standing guard at the mouth of the valley. After observing for a while, he saw that people kept going in, so he left the two to continue to observe, and the others returned and told Murakami Buji.
Murakami Takeshi was already tossed to the point of collapse, and as soon as he heard that the main force of the "bandits" had been found and that the "bandits" were preparing to evacuate, he immediately held a combat meeting. The troops were ordered to concentrate and advance so as not to be ambushed by the "bandits". During the meeting, Nakagawa Kiyohide had questioned whether it was a ploy of the "bandits", but Murakami Takeshi said that any conspiracy was futile in the face of absolute strength.
Murakami Takeyoshi led the team all the way forward, but did not see a single "bandit", and confirmed the view that the "bandits" were organizing a retreat. When I came to a place 2 kilometers away from the valley mouth, I saw the plainclothes team who stayed here to observe, and asked about it, and I heard that the "bandits" only went in and did not come out, and Murakami Takeshi was even more excited. Looking at the valley with a telescope, he saw that there seemed to be a lot of people gathered on the flat ground in the center of the valley, and there was nothing unusual on the three sides of the valley mountain, so he ordered the team to prepare for battle and prepare for battle in an hour.
There are dense figures gathered in the moats on three sides of the mountain in the Chinatown Valley, and there are many straw men in clothes in the middle of the square. Lin Junxiong has long planned to place the final showdown with Murakami Bukitchi in the Tang Valley, mainly because the Tang Valley is backed by mountains on three sides, as long as the enemy enters, he only needs to hold the valley mouth and tie up the pocket of the surroundment, but this is also very dangerous, once the enemy is trapped in the valley, it will not be a loss to steal chickens and rice. So whether to surround the enemy or be surrounded by the enemy is only between the thoughts of Murakami Buji, who commanded the battlefield. That's why Lin Junxiong kept provoking him, making him lose his mind, and making him face an emotional collapse, so that he would make a mistake.
In order to paralyze the enemy and lure the enemy into the valley, Lin Junxiong arranged for his team to be built a trench 1.5 meters deep on the mountain on three sides of the mountain for cover and then the enemy's frenzied counterattack that was surrounded. The more than 100 straw men in the middle of the valley are designed to create the illusion that they are all in the middle of the valley when the enemy looks at them from afar.
Joyful voices echoed in the valley of the China, and Lin Junxiong watched nervously in the direction of the Japanese army at the valley mouth, praying that everything would go well. The battle is on the verge of breaking out!
