Chapter 165: Breaking out of the encirclement

Han Xing nodded and said, "Chief of Staff Liu is right, from now on, we are already fighting behind enemy lines. At present, our main task at present is to break through the encirclement of the Japanese 39th Division, and then turn around the enemy's stomach a few times and stab him a few times. There are two places to retreat, one is the Tongbai Mountain Area and the other is the Dahong Mountain Area. I think it would be more appropriate to retreat to the Dahongshan Mountains, first, there is the 29th Group Army of the National Army there, and there is also Zhang Zizhong's 33rd Group Army there. ”

Hou Dashan was anxious, and interjected: "Commander Han, you can give an order!" We just resolutely obey orders. ”

Han Xing said: "I am also a little hesitant in my heart, and I still need to discuss it with everyone. It turned out that only small forces were infiltrated behind enemy lines. But this time, we are a large army, three regiments, nearly 3,000 people, plus tank battalions, special operations battalions, guard battalions, nearly 4,000 troops, operating behind enemy lines, is it a bit risky! ”

Liu Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "I think it's also a bit risky!" ”

You Qianqian has always been cautious, and at this time he also said: "Especially our tank battalion, there is a lot of movement, and it is difficult to keep the secret. Especially in the mountains, you can't use it, and if you can't get out there, it's troublesome. ”

Han Xing also nodded and said, "Yes, but now we really have nowhere to go, the whole battlefield is full of enemies. Nanyang is on the outer line, but we can't go back, if we divide our troops, then our strength is limited, once discovered by the enemy, it is easy to be broken by the enemy.

I think only clenched my fists and leaned against the 29th and 33rd armies. Another point is that the enemy's main forces are concentrated on the front line of Zaoyang and Xinye, and our troops have entered Dahongshan and are relatively far away from the enemy's main force. ”

Everyone nodded their heads incessantly.

At this time, Ling Yunshang spoke: "Commander Han, there are not many people in our 517 regiment, that is, there are still three or four hundred people. But now I make a statement to Commander Han, we are your death squads, and if you want to rush, you will rush to the front. ”

Han Xing smiled and said, "You are a guest army, how can I make you rush to the front!" ”

"No, no," Ling Yunshang shook his head and said, "If it weren't for your Southern Expeditionary Army, we would be fighting alone, and we would have to fight in the enemy's lair, but with such a big backer, we have much more confidence in our hearts." When it comes to playing forwards, no one should fight with us, it's our 517 regiment. ”

Hearing this, Han Xing said to Ling Yunshang, "Commander Ling, then I will thank you on behalf of the Southern Expeditionary Army." It's not the main force of the 173rd Division! ”

Han Xing said to everyone: "Without the support of our air force, these three or four thousand troops would have gone behind enemy lines, which would basically be a dead end, and the supply of food, weapons and ammunition alone would also be a big problem." But now, with the support of the air force, we can transport military supplies by air, so we don't have to worry about the future. With the brave men of the 517th Regiment, we have a greater certainty of success.

However, I still want to make it clear that this is an operation in the rear of the enemy, so the troops must be fully mentally prepared and prepared for action, and some of them must be streamlined. Captain Fan, how are the wounded getting lucky? ”

Fan Shuyu immediately reported: "The seriously wounded have been called the Z-8 helicopter and have almost been transported, and some of the lightly wounded have to leave, and they still want to continue the battle with the troops." ”

"That won't work," Han Xing said, "the situation behind enemy lines is unknown, and there may be many difficulties, so all the lightly wounded should be evacuated to Nanyang." ”

"Yes." Fan Shuyu agreed.

Han Xing asked Pan Xiaoan again: "Director Pan, have they found the helicopter of No. 2 Zhao Xiaoting and Li Dazhong, who lost contact?" ”

Pan Xiaoan replied: "I haven't found it yet, and the Air Force is looking for it everywhere." ”

"Keep looking," Han said, "and if you find it, send me a letter quickly." ”

"Yes!" Pan Xiaoan replied.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Han Xing asked.

None of us spoke, and if we didn't speak, we didn't have an opinion. Han Xing said to everyone: "Okay, now the meeting is adjourned, and the action will start in an hour." ”

The large force began to move an hour later, but at this time the 517th Regiment had already begun to move, and since the Japanese 39th Division was waiting in formation to the west, according to the predetermined plan, the team began to move south. The 517th Regiment was divided into several search teams and searched several villages to the south one by one.

Han Xing, Liu Zhiyuan, and Hou Dashan personally went to the southern front line to watch the search. Soon, fierce gunfire rang out in the villages of Tianjiayuan, Xiaojiayuan, and Miaoeryuan in the south. Judging from the sound of gunfire, Han Xing saw that the enemy in each village was either a squadron or a squad, and the Japanese army in this area had deployed troops in advance in order to prevent our army from breaking through.

As soon as the shots rang out, the target of our attack was exposed. At this time, the 39th Division was also unusual, and did not rest at night, and attacked the position of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

Liu Zhiyuan's regiment had already taken over the defense of the 173rd Division, and at this time, it also carried out a powerful blockade.

Han Xing saw that although it was early May and the wheat in the south was ripening early, no one had harvested the wheat in the Nanyang area due to the war. At this time, the wheat grew more than half a person tall, and it was difficult to find it if a person was lying down, especially at night, and it was even more difficult to see that there were troops hidden inside.

Han Xing said to Liu Zhiyuan and Hou Dashan: "The road is facing the sky, each going to one side, do we still have to walk from the village?" And they passed through the fields. When the special operations battalion and the guard battalion retreated, they were ambushed in the wheat fields of these villages. ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "I agree, just fight like this." ”

Hou Dashan continued: "I also agree, beat these people who don't have long eyes." ”

The plan of the march then changed, and the troops passed through the dirt road between the two villages of Xiaojiayuan and Tianjiayuan, and if there was really no road, they walked on the trail. When the trail is crossed, it becomes the avenue, because there are tanks and artillery tractors running over the road.

The 517 regiment played the vanguard in front, followed by the tank battalion, the mechanized regiment, then the headquarters, the sanitary team, the special operations battalion and the guard battalion behind the palace. Why don't you let the tank regiment fight the vanguard, this is also the cautious point of Han Xing, the road in the middle of the night is unknown, in case the enemy lays mines and there are deep ditches, then the tank battalion will suffer a big loss.

The devils in several villages were quite smart, they knew that their troops were small, and they did not dare to come out to pursue the Southern Expeditionary Army. There is only the 39th Division, which is tightly clinging to Liu Zhiyuan's directly subordinate regiment, and is still delusional about eating a big bun.

After receiving the order to retreat from Han Xing, the regiment directly under it began to retreat, and a brigade of the 39th Division, following closely behind the butt of the regiment directly under it, was in hot pursuit.

From the sound of gunfire, Han Xing judged the direction in which the Japanese army was pursuing our army, and passed between Tian Jiayuan and Xiao Jiayuan. The guard battalion was ambushed in the wheat fields around Tianjiayuan, and the special operations battalion was ambushed in the crop fields around Xiaojiayuan.

The regiment was still luring the enemy, retreating, and constantly firing guns.

The enemy of this brigade of the 39th Division always thought that the 173rd Division and the Southern Expeditionary Army were made of mud, and they still wanted to bite into a piece of big fat meat and eat it with their mouths full of oil.

Just when the Japanese army entered the dirt road between Tianjiayuan and Xiaojiayuan, there was still quite a lot of movement next to it. Yin Zhaoli was very calm, he lay down in the wheat field, watching the Japanese army in the dark continue to run past him.

Zhang Xiaosan of the guard battalion was even more calm, he was also experienced in battle for a long time, and the enemy couldn't keep his eyelids at all. He also said to Wu Xiaoming next to him: "Company Commander Wu, don't panic, when this group of enemies runs between the three of us, it's not too late to fight them." ”

The three points he mentioned are the three points of the special operations battalion, the guard battalion, and the regiment directly under him.

At this time, it seems that it is about to come. But sometimes, there are some surprises. The full strength of this pursuing Japanese brigade should have been 1,100 people, but after a bloody battle, there were actually more than 700 people left, and most of the soldiers were exhausted.

There were a few Japanese soldiers, who ran a little hurriedly, and they were a little anxious, and hurriedly thought of a small solution next to them. When they saw the wheat field next to it, they thought it would be convenient.

These Japanese soldiers came over towards the guard camp, and at that time, a Japanese soldier took off his pants towards Zhang Xiaosan, and the dirty guy stood up, and he couldn't care about anything, and his urine almost urinated on Zhang Xiaosan's head.

Where did Zhang Xiaosan get so angry, and scolded in his heart: "Grandma, it's really heaven that you don't go to, and hell has no door for you to come in, and I can't blame me." ”

When he saw that the time was almost over anyway, he secretly made a hard effort in his hands, and at once he grabbed the foot and neck of the Japanese soldier, pulled him down with both hands, and before he could cry out, a bayonet pierced his heart, and as a result, his dog died.

At that time, there was a Japanese soldier next to him, and when he was peeing, he was most afraid of scare, and he was so scared that he urinated half of a time at once, and he couldn't pee. He stretched his neck, was so frightened that he forgot to shout, and stayed there like a puppet.

Wu Xiaoming is also not easy to mess with, and he suddenly wants to give him a stunner operation with a bayonet. Unexpectedly, this Japanese soldier reacted at this time, flashed back, and did not stab him. But like a spring, he lifted his pants and shouted in Japanese: "The ambush of the Chinese army, the ambush of the Chinese army-"

Wu Xiaoming fired him from behind with one shot.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, it was open. The guard battalion was a battle-hardened soldier with a hundred battles, and they quickly rushed towards the Japanese brigade with assault rifles, shooting "suddenly" and "............ dada" while attacking.

The special operations battalion is not easy to mess with, originally their specialty is grappling and fighting, melee night fighting, ambushing the enemy is their forte, and they suddenly broke into the ranks of the Japanese army.
