The 54th round: Turning defense into offense

Han Xing had no choice but to send scouts to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and he and some people from the headquarters were behind a mountain bag, waiting for the military information to be sent from the front.

After a while, the scout sent the information. The 33rd Division of the devil is building fortifications in front, and in this part of Yong'an, an area of more than ten square kilometers has been demarcated, as if it will be held for a long time.

Han Xing immediately held a meeting of relevant personnel on the front line to discuss how to deal with the little devils. Hou Dashan, You Qianqian, Yin Zhaoli, Pan Xiaoan, Zhang Zuogan, and Zhang Xiaosan all participated.

The guards formed a straggler formation, tightly surrounding the circle, keeping an eye on the enemy's situation and guarding the meeting of the headquarters.

Liu Zhiyuan said to everyone: "This little devil of the 33rd Division doesn't want to play with us anymore, so he looks like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and he wants to defend." Let's talk about it, what are your opinions, how can you cure them? ”

Hou Dashan spoke first: "He doesn't want to play with us, we just played with them and fell in love with him." I, the artillery regiment, will bombard them for a while every day to see if they can still hold their breath in the king's nest. ”

Yin Zhaoli said: "Our infantry can't be idle, they beat them fiercely, and they have been beaten until they have no temper. ”

You Qianqian said directly: "Commander Han, you just give the order directly, how you say to fight, we will fight." ”

Zhang Xiaosan also said: "Commander Han, we all listen to you, we will fight how you say." ”

Han Xing thought for a while and said, "It turns out that the devil is attacking, and we are defending. At this point, the devil becomes the defense, and we become the offense. The devils have no way to do this, they want to capture our position, and they no longer have this ability. But they have to defend, and at the moment we don't have the strength to take their positions. What the war is fought, it is fought with supplies, it is food and ammunition. If we besiege them for 10 days, what will happen to you? ”

Hou Dashan continued: "If you really surround them and trap them for 10 days, then they will starve to death by starvation." ”

Yin Zhaoli also said: "This is like catching turtles in an urn, and they will really be trapped for 10 days, not to mention that they are fighting, I am afraid they will not even be able to walk." ”

Liu Zhiyuan also interjected: "This is called a soldier who surrenders without a big war." ”

Han Xingjian had inspired everyone's imagination, and concluded: "It's not enough to just count on us, we have to work with the 79th Army and the 20th Army to dig trenches and trap them inside." As soon as the troops outside attacked and cut off their supplies, and when they were starved, we launched a general attack and took down all the 33rd Division. ”

Everyone said, "Okay, good, this tactic is good." "You don't have to work too hard, you can kill him, this is a good way." "The little devils are already hungry, and they will be trapped for another 10 days, and see how many more days they can jump."

The general tactics were thus decided, and Han Xing called Zhang Zuogan, the chief of the operations department, to manage the specific contact with the 79th Army and the 20th Army, and together with the Southern Expeditionary Army, to trap the 33rd Division here.

Han Xing discussed with Liu Zhiyuan, divided Liu Zhiyuan's mortar battalion into several detachments, and together with the infantry, blocked all the channels that might transport supplies to the 33rd Division.

Han Xing led a company of the mortar battalion of the regiment directly under Liu Zhiyuan, which was equipped with more than 30 60mm mortars.

These 60mm mortars have the advantages of light weight, high muzzle velocity, long firing range, and easy operation and use. The firing range is between 145m~2700m, the rate of fire is 30 rounds / min, the weapon mass is 14.3kg, the shell mass is 1.33kg, and the effective killing radius is 12.9m.

The mortar company commander of the first company was named Qian Yifei, who was only 18 years old at the time.

Speaking of Qian Yifei's experience, it is also a bit legendary. He graduated from the Artillery School in Nanjing, where he was a trainee platoon commander in a mortar platoon of the regular army of the Nationalist Army, and was seriously wounded in the fierce Battle of Wuhan. After being rescued by the Southern Expeditionary Army, he was reluctant to go to the regular troops of the Kuomintang and stayed in the Southern Expeditionary Army.

At that time, there was a shortage of artillery talents in the Southern Expeditionary Army, and although Qian Yifei was young, he was still promoted to another level and became the commander of the first mortar company.

This young man is not tall, but he is very concise, and although he does not talk much, he is very practical.

Zhang Xiaosan was not happy when he saw that Han Xing didn't have a scene with the guard company, so he found Han Xing and said, "Commander Han, you go out to fight guerrillas, why don't you take our guard company with you." ”

Han Xing said: "Your guard company has a mission, isn't it guarding the headquarters!" ”

Zhang Xiaosan "snorted" and said unhappily: "The headquarters are all following the big troops, what kind of protection do you have, and you, Commander Han, went out to fight guerrillas, and got into the enemy's nest, life and death are just the blink of an eye, so you have to protect it!" ”

Han Xing thought to himself, this Zhang Xiaosan, it seems that he has made a lot of progress, and he is still talking about the point. Han Xing said to him: "Then you can rest, you are too tired for a while, isn't it good to rest at home!" ”

Zhang Xiaosan immediately sneered at each other and said: "You Commander Han doesn't rest, but you tell us little soldiers to rest, it's too inappropriate to take us seriously!" Besides, protecting you is the main task of our guard company, and to put it mildly, if you hang up, our guard company will not suffer any casualties. Where will we put the face of the guard company in the future, and we will not be human beings? ”

Han Xing smiled and said, "Company Commander Zhang is getting better and better at talking, I love to hear what you say." I wanted you to take a break, but if you really can't be idle, go out for a ride with me! ”

Zhang Xiaosan was happy, jumped high and said: "You take us there, we are happy in our hearts, and we are happy no matter how hard and tired we are." Eating so well at home, if you don't go out for a walk, it's to suppress the food. ”

By the way, the food of the Southern Expeditionary Army is indeed quite good, with eggs and meat, vegetables and buns. Of course, this is related to the policy of economic development in the Liaocheng base area, and because of the outstanding achievements of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Xue Yue, an old boy, did not dare to provide food for the Southern Expeditionary Army. If he offended the Southern Expeditionary Army, he was also afraid that the Southern Expeditionary Army would not give him any effort.

In September in Hunan, swallows fly from the north to the south, bathing in the fragrance of the fields with wisps of autumn sun.

The fragrance of chrysanthemums wafts through September, with the warmth of midsummer departure, intertwined with the coolness after tasting bitter and spicy. September is like a mellow wine, and the flowing smoke is dyed with a touch of gold. The face is getting old, and the dancing is still beautiful and soft.

In September, the maple leaves are as fiery as the red leaves, reflecting the glow brilliantly. The sun sows a song of hope among the rice waves, exuding the sweetness of straw. The forest quietly tells the story of each tree's growth, and the small trees grow in an orderly and orderly manner, full of vitality. The river flows quietly from the source, flowing all the way with a lot of clarity. The splash of excitement is revealing itself outstandingly, proving the truth of "no pain, no gain".

The footsteps of the army are rushed time, non-stop, day and night, and the hearts of young soldiers are not counted by calendars. Because of his maturity, his ambition will be determined and victory will be in his hands; Because of his openness, he will be emotionally burning and sincere in dedication; Because of his profundity, he will be full of vitality and strive for progress.

The rice and wheat ears in Hunan, the corn, soybeans and red dates in Liaocheng silently exude a fragrant fragrance. Under the autumn sun, the pumpkin is turning from green to yellow, thick and long, and also has a flat circle like a millstone. There are also mung beans, and the pods have also changed from green to black. I don't know how many stubbles have been picked in the vegetable garden, but the purple flowers are still blooming, and the purple eggplants are still growing wildly; The peppers turned from green to purple, from purple to red, and under the backdrop of the green leaves, they looked so cute...... The love of the young warriors, the ballads of the old grandmothers, and even every ridge path has matured.

The September sky is no longer a frown. If there are no devils in the village, there will be no more pain of cracks and the irritability of poverty. September's face became sweet and drunk, as relaxed as joy. The hearts of every young warrior were opened, and all the windows were insomnia.

The love for this land is as hot and deep as a red maple. In fact, autumn is nature's second spring, and every fallen leaf is a colorful flower. The chrysanthemum is yellow, the osmanthus is fragrant, and "the humble does not dare to forget the country" is the heart of the blue and quiet soldiers.

The remnant sun was drunk and lying in the golden river, half in the sky, half in the water, the boiling water boiled through the green water of thousands of mountains, and also cooked the young hearts of the warriors.

The footsteps of September were sonorous and powerful, firm and calm, and the footsteps of the soldiers came from thousands of mountains and rivers.

Han Xing led these two little tiger-like companies, and not long after they set off, they found a rear baggage unit of the devil on a transportation line more than ten miles away from the 33rd Division.

Han Xing quietly led Qian Yifei and Zhang Xiaosan, lying on their stomachs in a thatched pile, quietly observing the Japanese army's transport troops.

This transport unit consisted of more than 100 Japanese soldiers, who drove more than 100 horses, all of which were exhausted and panting, and the horses were loaded with heavy supplies. Needless to say, these horses are all excellent horse breeds improved in Japan, and if it were an ordinary horse, after such a long journey, after such a load, it would have been tired and lay down.

Before the Japanese invasion of China, a large number of improved war horses have been equipped with troops, mainly divided into five types, all of which are world famous horses, including: Arabian horses, British thoroughbreds, Anglo-Arabian horses, Anglo-Norman horses, and Don hippos.

Arabian horses in the Japanese army, not mainly for combat, but for cooling!

The extremely fast British thoroughbreds, as well as the Anglo-Arabian horse (a cross between an English horse and an Arabian horse), are used primarily as racing horses in Japan, rather than as war horses.

The Anglo-Norman horse, a cross between the English horse and the French Norman horse, was the main force of the Japanese war horse.

As for the Don hippos, they were Cossack horses captured in the Russo-Japanese War.
