Chapter 286: The Battle of Manshou Mountain

The adjutant also replied: "We have to be careful, don't call it a pit for the Southern Expeditionary Army." He thinks he's Zhuge Liang, but I don't think so! ”

Han Xing finished arranging Zhang Xiaosan's affairs, and Li Shunchang, the commander of the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 9th Security Regiment, had already come to report.

Han Xing looked at his appearance, he was similar to Li Dazhong, he was also a person with thick lines, he really had a big head, big eyes, a big nose, a big mouth, big cheekbones, and a tall and tall person, and he looked like a person full of strength.

At first glance, it is a good material for being a soldier.

Although Li Shunchang is a rough man, he still has some scheming about fighting. After he heard about his mission, he said to Li Xiaoyi:

"Commander Li, there is currently a brigade of devils in Wanshou Mountain. Our company has one hundred and eighty men. It's good to feint and ambush, if the devil sends out one squadron, we can barely cope with it, if the devil dispatches two squadrons, they will be too disadvantaged, and they will not be destroyed by the devil. With this little bit of people, this ambush can't be hit? ”

Li Xiaoyi heard that he also made some sense, and asked, "How many soldiers and horses do you need?" ”

Li Shunchang said: "No matter what, you have to give me 30% of the strength of the security regiment, that is, 250 people, weapons, and the best weapons, so that this ambush can be fought and will not be eaten by the little devils." ”

Li Xiaoyi thought about it carefully, if the devil really dispatched a squadron, according to the ratio of two to one, how could it be two or three hundred people, if the devil dispatched two squadrons, then these people would have to barely cope. If this battle is not fought well, then the battle to attack Wanshou Mountain is just a deaf man's ear - decoration! So, I have to support him a little bit no matter what.

He nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you!" ”

Han Xing added: "Two hundred and five, it's not very good, either two hundred and six, or two hundred and four." ”

Li Shunchang also felt that two hundred and five was not an auspicious number, so he took a step back and said, "Then two hundred and four!" ”

Li Shunchang fought for more people and guns, and then he came to report to Han Xing with arrogance.

Han Xing said to him: "Let's go, let's not talk about the army in the house, let's go to the scene to see the terrain and simulate the battle situation, right?" ”

Han Xing took Li Shunchang, Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong to inspect the terrain, this area is the south of Wanshou Palace, it can be said that the terrain in this area is a slip of mountains and a slip of fields, and a road stretches out from north to south along the side of the mountain.

The mountain is covered with lush vegetation, just enough to ambush the soldiers, and below the mountain are patches of rice paddies, rained and irrigated, the seedlings are thriving, not to mention wearing shoes, even walking barefoot in the rice fields, that is also quite strenuous.

Han Xing guided Li Shunchang and said, "What is Company Commander Li's high opinion? Tell me about it. ”

Li Shunchang thought for a while and said, "Your Southern Expeditionary Army has good weapons, so you are ambushed on the mountain. I led a hundred or so people, and I tried to lure the little devils here, and then your southern expeditionary army beat them violently. ”

Han Xing thought for a while and said, "If there is any way, it would be better to drive the little devil into the rice field." ”

Li Shunchang thought for a while and said: "We people are the most capable personnel and the best weapons in the security regiment, the best is the middle formal, there are no machine guns, no heavy machine guns, how can we drive the little devils into the rice fields, and they don't listen to me?" ”

Han Xing asked again: "Do you have extra grenades and mines?" ”

Li Shunchang said: "There are no extra grenades, and there are about 50 mines, and some of them may not have exploded. ”

"That's good!" Han Xing said, "When the devil came, he pulled the mines, and as soon as the machine guns rang off on the mountain, they drove them all to the paddy fields to be frogs." ”

The plan was set, and the first company of the Southern Expeditionary Army and Li Shunchang's troops hurried to prepare.

At night, it rained lightly, it was dark, and there was a black patch everywhere, and it was false to see the five fingers, and it was not far away, and I couldn't see what people looked like. The Southern Expeditionary Army and Li Shunchang's people got up at 10 o'clock and had a full meal, and at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, Li Shunchang began to act, leading more than 100 people to quietly march towards Wanshou Mountain.

The devil's position was not built on Wanshou Mountain, where it was a temple, and the little devil believed in Shintoism, and he was afraid of offending Xu Zhenjun and making trouble for them in the underworld. So at the foot of Wanshou Mountain, a brigade of Lingmu built fortifications here.

In the past two days, the wind has been very tight, and Captain Lingmu is frightened, and he can't sleep at night, and bad news is flying like snowflakes. The 34th Division was defeated, and under the cover of the 33rd Division, it was retreating from the upper and high areas, but along the way it was intercepted by the National Army in front of it, and there were pursuers in the rear, which can be described as miserable, and it has not yet arrived here.

Captain Lingmu was afraid that there would be any more problems here, and if something happened to Wanshou Mountain again, the 34th and 33rd Divisions would have no way out, and they would have to be severely punished.

I was really afraid of something, and suddenly there was a fierce gunfire in front, and there were more than a hundred and so guns listening to the sound, either in the middle of the form, or made in Hanyang, and there was not even the sound of a machine gun.

At this time, the sentry came: "Report to the captain, a small group of enemy guerrillas, are attacking our positions." ”

"Yaga!" Captain Zerowood scolded loudly, "Ignore them, and if you get close, use a machine gun against them." If it's far away, don't shoot it. ”

But the guns of the guerrillas kept ringing and intensified. It really annoyed Captain Lingmu, and he hurried outside to check the military situation.

Under the misty drizzle, a strong searchlight was emitted from the position of Wanshou Mountain, and in the haze, Ling Mu saw that the other party, that is, a guerrilla force of about 100 people, was constantly shooting at his position, attacking while shouting:

"Little Japan is finished!" "Rabbit tails don't grow." "Our big army is about to attack." "Destroy this group of devils, let's go back and receive the reward!"

Ling Mu knew a little Chinese, and when he heard these shouts, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule, and he said to his adjutant: "With your little hundred or so people, you still want to destroy our Wanshou Mountain position, it's really overwhelming." Tell the searchlight to sweep it a few more times to see if there are any other Chinese troops besides them. ”

The searchlight swept back and forth several more times at the Chinese guerrillas.

After a while, the adjutant came back and reported: "Your Excellency, the captain of the report, according to our careful observation, only this guerrilla detachment has been found, and no Chinese troops have been found anywhere else. ”

"Baga, this small army dares to do this! Is there no one to bully our imperial army? Squadron Leader 1, Squadron Leader 2—"

Three squadron leaders were on standby and immediately came to their side.

Lingmu ordered the Captain of the First Squadron and the Captain of the Second Squadron: "The First Squadron and the Second Squadron will quickly dispatch to destroy this guerrilla force. The more we are at this time, the more we must maintain the stability of the Wanshoushan position, and we must not allow the Chinese guerrillas to come and make trouble. The 3rd Squadron was on standby to prevent an attack by the Chinese troops. ”

The three squadron leaders agreed, and each carried out his own order.

The first and second squadrons of the devils immediately attacked, and the devils made extraordinary shots, not only running fast, but also shooting accurately. Li Shunchang's troops couldn't support it at all, and they didn't even have a machine gun, so they couldn't resist the attack of the little devils, so they had to retreat.

The captain of the first squadron looked happy, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yo Xi, Yo Xi, this small guerrilla force is not the opponent of our imperial army at all. Attention all, ducks give-"

The 1st Squadron was in front and the 2nd Squadron was behind, pursuing Li Shunchang's troops.

Li Shunchang led the team to fight and retreat, retreating while constantly returning guns to the back. The little devil looked at it, oops, if you are not convinced, stop and fight a bayonet, what a run. Therefore, the pace of pursuit was accelerated, and he was angry and desperate.

The leader of the first squadron was not without a reminder, and the leader of the second squadron called someone to bring a message and warn the captain of the first squadron to be careful and not fall into the ambush of the Chinese army. But the leader of the first squadron was extremely arrogant and shouted at the person who was talking: "I know, the Chinese do not have such courage." We're going to catch them soon, and if we catch them, we must kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind. ”

They gradually chased Han Xing to the place where they were ambushed, and the second squadron leader called someone to bring it and said, there are woods ahead, and the terrain is very unfavorable to us, so be careful. The first squadron leader scolded again, the second squadron leader was too careful, he was reluctant to let the child catch his son, how could he eliminate the Chinese army with such care.

The leader of the first squadron continued to leap on his short legs, waved his small hand, and ordered the troops in a loud voice: "It's time to catch up with the Chinese army, ducks will give-"

At this moment, I only heard "Boom, boom, boom", a firelight, a loud sound of mines, and the already black sky, even darker smoke mixed with firelight, rose upward, and instantly engulfed this little devil.

The first squadron of the devils was killed dozens of them at once, and those who were not injured fainted at once, like headless flies, not knowing where to run, whether to continue to advance or retreat.

Han Xing roared: "Hit-" Three heavy machine guns, more than a dozen light machine guns, and assault rifles, made in Zhongcheng and Hanyang, bullets poured down like rain.

As soon as Li Shunchang's team saw that there was a fight behind them, they immediately turned back and stormed the little devil.

The fierce shooting was flanked from both sides, and the little devil panicked even more, instinctively running for his life, and the farther away from these bullets rain, the better. They ran to the flat ground on the outside of the mountain, and as soon as they ran in front, of course, those behind only hated their father and mother for missing two legs, and they also ran desperately.

Dressed in large leather shoes with anti-sed, they rushed into the rice paddies at once.

The rice fields were filled with mud even when it rained, not to mention wearing shoes, even if they were barefoot, they pulled out this foot, and that foot sank into it again. The little devil is not familiar with the terrain, and it looks like it is a living road, and when he falls into it, he can't pull out his feet.
