Chapter 20: The Battle Begins
Joining forces to get through this? Kono wondered, how can we join forces? "Renjun, please elaborate." A person, when he knows that disaster is coming, he will never miss it if there is a glimmer of life, and Yusuke Kono is like this now.
"Two paths. First, the Kwantung Army encircled and suppressed our army, and it will inevitably order you to lead your troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression. When the time comes, you let go of the opening and let our army pass. I'll give you another target, such as which bandit cottage, or the landlord's armed forces, or something like that. You take people over and exterminate them as guerrillas, and then report back to the front. In this way, even if you have made meritorious service, of course, you will not be sent to a military court. ”
Hey? That's a good idea! Kono rolled his eyes and pondered for a while before shaking his head in frustration, "No, the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army is very powerful, and it is difficult for us to hide from them by doing this." Once found out, my fault is huge! Not good. What is the second way? ”
"The second way? The second way is that you follow me and join the guerrillas, and I will give you the establishment of a Japanese brigade. In the future, after Japan is defeated and surrendered, you will be an anti-war and peaceful person. When you return to Japan, you will be a winner. This way not only you and your soldiers, but also your families will enjoy the benefits of the victors. ”
Kono's eyes widened, and he looked at Ren Laifeng like an idiot. The Japanese army employed a large number of servants in China, as well as in all the occupying powers. Just like the Imperial Cooperative Army, the Anguo Army, and the Public Security Army, there are many, many of them. Should he do the same?
"Ren Jun, let's use the first method first, if it doesn't work, then use the second method, do you think it's okay?" Kono's head was not given for nothing, this kid was in a hurry, and he really came up with a compromise solution.
"Tsk, Kono, what do you want me to say about you? Indecisive in doing things, without the decisiveness of a soldier at all! What did you do before you became a soldier? ”
"My family is a fishmonger in Osaka, and I've been selling fish with my family since I was a child. It was not until after graduating from high school that he joined the army, and later went to the army non-commissioned officer school. Talking about his previous experience, Kono felt a lot of emotion.
"No wonder you are not decisive enough, it turns out that you are a fish seller. Let me tell you, to do things, you should choose a good road and run to the dark. You can't do that. ”
Ren Laifeng tried to persuade Kono to change his mind and go directly to the guerrillas, but this time Kono Yusuke seemed to have eaten a weighing stone and had an iron heart, no matter what Ren Laifeng said, he was bent on stepping on two boats to see the wind and rudder. Ren Laifeng saw that this guy had made up his mind, so he didn't plan to persuade him anymore. He still has a lot to do, where is the effort to keep grinding here?
It was determined that in the future encounter on the battlefield, Kono would make way for the guerrillas; When Kono was cornered, Ren Laifeng was sure to leave him a place in the guerrillas for a foreign legion. The two sides also signed an agreement in duplicate, and Ren Laifeng left Kono's headquarters.
Then the information from the front began to report to him in a steady stream. Where did the 1st Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army advance; Where did the 2nd Independent Brigade enter; where the Yamazaki detachment began to assemble; where the embankment detachment was assembled; Where did the Kan detachment advance again.
A group of Japanese crusade troops have entered Ren Laifeng's field of vision. The devil is serious this time, in order to exterminate him, the Northeast anti-Japanese guerrillas, the Japanese Kwantung Army invested more than 20,000 troops at one time! With so many enemies, not to mention his guerrillas of more than 2,000 people, even if he brought over the 74th Army, which was famous for fighting evil battles with good and evil, it was enough for Wang Yaowu to have a headache.
Knowing this time, Ren Laifeng knew how difficult it was for him to keep Qinggang County and his arsenal. Withdraw? If it had been a good car, he wouldn't have left the arsenal in Aooka in the first place. Qinggang County has a remote location but developed transportation. It's also convenient to purchase some raw materials and everything.
Don't think that the arsenal started with ironmaking and sawing trees, they also bought semi-finished steel and wood to make guns. If the arsenal leaves Qinggang and moves into the mountains, I don't know how much it will cost to use the raw materials alone!
Of course, if something can't be done, these machines in the arsenal will definitely not be left to the devils. Let the wind blow up, they can't be cheaper than the enemy.
Twenty carts were parked in the compound of the arsenal, just waiting in case the front line could not be carried out, and the windows could be dismantled and loaded immediately. Frying is the last resort, and Ren Laifeng will definitely try to transport it away before that. Of course, it's best to be able to block it, but if you can't stop it, you can't carry it away, and if you can't carry it away, it's going to blow it up. This is the serial strategy set by Ren Laifeng.
The first and second detachments to engage the Japanese were Gu Dafeng and Fu Erchong, and they were also the two detachments recognized as the most powerful and strongest in the guerrillas. Gu Dafeng is in Pingshan in the south, and Fu Erchong is in Taipingchuan in the east. These two places met enemies almost at the same time!
The strongest embankment detachment in the Japanese army collided with the defensive position of Gu Dafeng's first detachment at Pingshan. As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, they fell into a dead fight. The devil wants to win the first battle, and Gu Dafeng will never back down for the honor of the first team. Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, artillery against artillery, and neither of them wanted to retreat first.
The leader of the devil detachment, Tsutsujiro, wants to win a good start, and he wants to earn credit for himself for the detachment. As soon as it came up, it was bombed by planes and artillery, and after these movements were over, they began to launch infantry group charges.
The fighters of the first detachment of our army got up from the soil, patted the floating soil on their bodies and quickly plunged into battle. Machine guns, mortars, and grenades were overwhelmingly fought, and the attack of the devils was repulsed!
Tsutsujiro Osa was furious, and sent 300 men for the second attack and 500 men for the third attack, each time more than the last. At the end of the third battle, someone persuaded Gu Dafeng to retreat. Annoyed by the gale, he shot the operational staff officer who persuaded him to retreat on the spot.
Gu Dafeng pulled out his self-defense pistol and issued a "The position is in the people, swear to live and die with the position!" The oath. Even if all the people die here today, I don't feel like I'm taking a step back!
Just like that, he survived until dark. Gu Dafeng's first detachment certainly suffered heavy casualties, and the devil was no better! According to Gu Dafeng's observation, after this day's battle, his first detachment killed and wounded at least more than 300 devils! It's almost the total number of people in the first detachment.
After dinner, Gu Dafeng ordered the troops to pack up and prepare to move to the second-line position while it was dark. Deep, one-line trench defenses are easily broken by opponents. This was taught to him by Ren Laifeng.
Just before the transfer, reinforcements came.
