Chapter 119: The army is approaching Stone Town
Han Shigui and Shandong never thought that they did not go with Ma Chenglong to attack the sub-highland of Songshan, but followed Peng Gang's pre-second regiment to block the reinforcements of the devil to Songshan in Xiaogushan.
When the devil's reinforcements could not be reinforced, they became retreating troops, and it stands to reason that this task has been completed, and they should also participate in the battle against Songzizi Heights. Then, the 2nd Pre-regiment, which had just gained a foothold, received another order, and after a short rest, it received an order to attack Tengchong.
......
Along the small river on the outskirts of Tengchong, a team of devil cavalry tread water with iron hooves, splashing along the way, and went straight to Tengchong.
On a small hill at the eastern foot of Tengchong, a few devil cavalry patrolled for a week, and then prepared their horses to guard the surroundings.
The leader of the devil Shao Zuo stood solemnly, he slowly took off his military hat, took off his military uniform, carefully tied the white samurai turban on his head, and then knelt on his legs, faced the sky on his back, swayed his sword, and chanted words in his mouth. Suddenly, he got up again, raised his sword, and roared wildly. Suddenly, he took a knife in one arm, plunged it into the ground, and after kneeling on the ground for a long time, he began to cry silently again.
The devil's adjutant Kuroki slowly stepped forward, put his arm around Shaozuo, and comforted him: "Ueno-kun, your brother's heroic spirit is watching you at the shrine, and we will pay tribute to him with the blood of Chinese soldiers." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a "bang" gunshot, Kuroki vigilantly pressed Ueno's back with his hand, and quickly fell to the ground. When Kuroki looked up, there was no sound. But by the time Kuroki saw Ueno, Ueno's snow-white shirt was already bright red, and a bullet that came from nowhere hit Shaozo's eyebrows.
"Ueno-kun!" Kuroki shouted loudly and pushed Ueno, who had fallen to the ground.
"Chase!"
"Yaga!"
It roared like a wounded dog. Kuroki drew his sword, pointed at the mountains and forests, and ordered the soldiers to pursue the enemy. More than a dozen devil cavalry rode into the mountains and forests, chasing everywhere, but there was no trace of anyone in this dense mountain forest, and the devil's cavalry in the mountains and forests were like headless flies, crashing around.
"Bang bang!" Two more gunshots rang out, and the two devil soldiers fell from their horses to the ground, and bright red blood was sprinkled on the dead leaves, and soon large areas of fallen leaves were dyed red.
Kuroki looked anxious, brandished his sword, roared loudly, and led the remaining dozen devil cavalry into two teams, and rushed forward along the gunfire. When the war horse crossed more than 200 meters in the dense forest, the gunfire rang out again, and just behind him, another devil soldier was shot in the back and fell off his horse. Kuroki, who hurriedly turned his horse's head, saw two figures quickly sliding down from the trees, turned over and jumped onto the horses of his cavalry, and disappeared into the jungle in an instant.
Kuroki realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to dismount and search in a cover formation.
It was early autumn, the forest was dense, and it was difficult to find anyone hiding within a few meters. Kuroki took his soldiers and walked one step at a time, one hundred meters and two hundred meters......
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", and the explosion was next to Kuroki, the two devil soldiers were already blurred with flesh and blood, and Kuroki, who was knocked to the ground by the explosion, was blank in his heart, and his mind was full of fear, as if he had felt that death was getting closer and closer to them.
Kuroki, who was helped up by the other soldiers, was a little stunned, and his former arrogance and arrogance were suddenly surrounded by an inexplicable sense of fear. Kuroki touched the blood of the soldiers splashed on his face, looked up and saw that it was getting late, and decided that it would be better to withdraw and return to Tengchong as soon as possible. So he took the rest of the soldiers and retreated cautiously and fearfully out of the mountains and forests. But they still did not dare to be careless, their eyes widened, their ears were almost pricked up, and their guns were sweating and cold sweat in their hands; There was a hint of coolness on the sweaty back.
Not far away, there was the neighing of war horses, and Kuroki knew that it was over, and all the horses of the cavalry were lost, which was a great shame for any cavalryman. But now, only by saving his life first, it seems that he can no longer return the same way, and he has to bypass the place where the war horse was left in order to get out of this jungle safely.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the danger was approaching step by step, although there were more than a dozen soldiers by Kuroki's side, but in this dense jungle, he suddenly felt a lonely weakness.
"I'm finally about to get out," Kuroki thought to himself. Kuroki and the others finally heard the sound of the river, and they could see the white light reflected from the river through the cracks in the forest. The hard time is finally over, and hope is just around the corner. Here they quicken the pace and extend the pace of their lives. Kuroki knew that the number of enemies was not large, maybe only two people, as long as he was out of the woods, he could completely take his soldiers on a rampage. Seeing hope, Kuroki suddenly became energetic, and ordered the soldiers to speed up their pace.
At the moment when Kuroki walked out of the dense forest with the rest of the soldiers, four gunshots rang out "bang.......", and the four Japanese soldiers who came out of the dense forest first fell to the ground almost at the same time. The devil soldiers, who had not yet come out of the dense forest, quickly lay down and fired indiscriminately.
Seeing this, Kuroki shouted in a hurry, and after hearing the order, the soldiers lying down rushed out of the mountains and forests desperately, only to see two figures riding war horses and speeding away in an instant.
Kuroki didn't care about the pursuit, and fled with Ueno Shaosa's corpse, heading straight for Tengchong Castle.
This is an evening in the early autumn of 1944, on the mountain outside Tengchong City, two soldiers, seven bullets, one ** killed eight devil cavalry, one cavalry Shaozuo, the persistence of the recent ambush, an accidental and seemingly inevitable victory.
The seemingly victorious results were reported to the commander of the Second Pre-regiment, Peng, Han Shigui and Shandong thought that they could bring praise or praise or something, and then they stood outside the regiment headquarters for a long time and were notified by the sentry that they were going to be taken to the confinement room again. The reason is very simple, without consent, he went out without permission and was confined for three days.
In the face of Tengchong's terrain, Peng Gang quickly adjusted his deployment and divided his troops into two routes: with the 312th Regiment of the 2nd Reserve Division of the 54th Army and the heavy mortar battalion as the right flank, they drove to the area south of Gudong, and entered the position of attack preparation before the 26th to capture Baofeng Mountain and Laifeng Mountain. At the same time, with the 1st Battalion of Heavy Mortars attached to the 53rd Army as the left flank, it reached the areas of Ganzhushan Mountain, Tatho Mountain, and the west bank of the Longchuan River before the 26th, and attacked Feifeng Mountain from Ta Tho Street and Longchuan River. With the 198th Division as the reserve of the group army, after the 53rd Army advances, it will enter Jiang Tho Street and stand by.
The two armies were like two pincers, quickly encircling Tengchong from the northeast and southwest.
On June 28, the 54th Army on the right flank of the 20th Group Army directly advanced to the front line of Baofengshan and Xiamawu, and the 53rd Army on the left flank advanced to the areas of Haikou, Tatho Street and Sanjiacun, and the left detachment of the 53rd Army had reached the east of Longjiang Bridge, only 5 to 10 kilometers away from Tengchong City. Seeing that all the departments had advanced to the established position, Commander Huo waved his hand, "Fight!" "The first thing to aim at is the high ground outside Tengchong City.
