Chapter 3 (11b)

What Everyone turned their heads in unison and looked at Zhang Songling, their eyes were full of disappointment Before, Fang Coffin was full of tongues, even if it was After all, he was a political cadre and had no experience in commanding operations independently, but you, Zhang Fatzi, were the military commander who fought to the position of guerrilla leader in a battle, how could you also close your eyes and open your mouth with him

However, Zhang Songling's next words made everyone have to put away their disappointment and reconsider their previous thoughts "The Japanese devils lack experience in defeating battles" They don't care about everyone's knife-like gaze at all The little black fat man smiled The round face was full of confidence "They can't afford to lose at all They just suffered a loss on the Wuyuan side and are in a hurry to get it back from us So while dispatching the Morikawa United to the east, they will definitely order the Kawada Brigade to fully cooperate And Kawada Kuniaki has already lost to us once before Recently, he has not achieved anything for a long time If he still can't complete the task this time......."

"Then his captain is afraid that he will be able to do it, and it is possible to go to military court if he doesn't get it!" Shao Yong, the commander of the cavalry battalion, has been working with Zhang Songling for the longest time recently, and he can understand his thoughts the most, so he slapped his face and echoed loudly

"It's also ....." The officers looked at each other and talked about it Lost the Battle of Normenhan The commander-in-chief and the chief of the general staff of the Kwantung Army were both removed from their posts Even with the unlucky ones there are a large number of middle and senior generals Followed by the loss to the Northern Route Army, which is far inferior to them, there must be a bunch of people who have a difficult future If Kawada Kuniaki dares to passively avoid the war at this juncture as he did some time ago, once the 93rd Regiment is allowed to get out safely, I am afraid that he will be counted with the new and old accounts

"So, I suggest that our next battle plan is based on the fact that Kawada Kuniaki will definitely catch up and chase very anxiously," Zhang Songling smiled at everyone and continued to add, "And the Morikawa United, who hurried over, did not have enough means to confirm our location and next move at any time........"

"Oh, you just say directly, how can we dig a pit for Kawada Kunizhao, my master" The regiment commander Lao Qi was anxious when he heard this, waved his hand, and urged loudly Compared with the few battalion commanders under him, he is more confident in Zhang Songling's ability, and he is also willing to temporarily lend the command to the other party After all, Zhang Songling's previous achievements are all there, if he is still on the side of the Kuomintang, I am afraid that the level will not be a regiment commander for a long time, and there is nothing to be ashamed of temporarily lending him the command

"If we pull out the camp and retreat south tomorrow morning, the best way to take now is this ......" Zhang Songling nodded at Lao Qi with a smile, picked up a pencil, and drew a long diagonal line on the map Most of his skills come from the words and deeds of Lao Gou, the leader of the 26th Route Army's special service regiment, and the entire Lao 26th Road has no tradition of being passively beaten, and he wants to bite back under any circumstances, even if there are enemy troops on all sides, he will not sell his back to them

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the little fat man's movements, and as the pencil in his hand slowly went down, an inch, two inches, three inches, and suddenly, the pencil paused at the riverside of a certain season, and in an instant, everyone's eyes lit up, like stars in the night sky

Although Zhang Songling's combat style is very different from the old tradition of the 93rd Regiment, his way of thinking of surviving in danger and never giving up any opportunity to bite back also gave a great inspiration to everyone present

Time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, the day dawned, and the 93rd Regiment and the Blackstone guerrillas packed up their luggage, joined forces all the way, and after breakfast, immediately pulled out the camp and headed south, and ran for more than 40 miles in just one morning, leaving the Kawada Brigade, which had been soaking mushrooms for nearly half a month across a mountain beam from them, far behind

Of course, it is impossible to hide such a big movement from the eyes of the scouts Soon, Kawada Kuniaki got the news that the opponent had taken the initiative to evacuate Without even thinking about it, he ordered loudly: "Chase, immediately chase and entangle them, and we must not let them escape like this Send a telegram to the Inukai Squadron, the Oyama Squadron, and the Miura Squadron, asking them to come over quickly and be ready to fight side by side with us at any time And the three brigades of the Hung Yen Army If they dare to drag on any longer, I won't mind enforcing military law for their superiors."

"Hey" Several devil squadron leaders agreed in unison and trotted down to carry out the order Look at the surroundings There are no other ears around Shirakawa Shiro Combat staff quietly stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Kawada-kun, should we wait a little longer Take a little more time to verify the whereabouts of the enemy before taking action The strength of the other party is not below us The three garrison squadrons from the Jerim League are all waste ...... eliminated by the front-line troops."

"Shirakawa-kun, I know what you think, and I'm also worried about it," Kuniaki Kawada sighed and shook his head with a wry smile, "But do we really have any other choice? General Sakai's telegram, you saw the reprimanding telegram from the Kwantung Army headquarters, and you also saw it with your own eyes."

"Whew" Shirakawa Shiro sighed helplessly, purely from a military point of view, he would never agree to set out to chase the enemy now. Even if the Kawada Brigade can entangle the 93rd Regiment, the price paid will be quite huge If you don't get it right, it is possible to be burned by the other side However, there is no pure military perspective in the world The reality is as Kawada Kuniaki said, They have no choice The Kwantung Army Headquarters is very dissatisfied with the previous defeat of the Kawada Brigade and the defeat of the Battle of Gohara is worried that it will not find enough scapegoats

"Chief Shirakawa, please also ask Shirakawa-kun to contact him more "Seeing that his combat staff officer was full of frustration, Kawada Kuniaki cheered up and added in a low voice, "As for the current pursuit battle, I will try to be careful Morikawa United will be able to come over in two days at most, and the 93rd Regiment does not have much time to delay."

"It's really not okay to put a squadron as a striker, just break your arm to survive" Shirakawa Shiro nodded first, and then continued to give advice for the other party, "We just need to do our best, we can give an explanation to the top, don't be stuck in temporary success or failure, my parents' side, I will continue to urge them to provide you with adequate support"

"Thank you, Shirakawa-kun" Kawada Kuniaki bowed to the other party, and then began to clean up the chickens and dogs on his desk, and the orderlies who had been waiting at the door and did not dare to enter saw this, and also hurriedly trotted forward to help the two commanders to make a round about twenty minutes later, all the important items were loaded into the car Kawada Kuniaki and Shirakawa Shiro looked at each other, each pretending to be calm and composed, went out side by side, and jumped into their respective officer command cars

The scouts and communications soldiers jumped on the horses "requisitioned" from the homes of the Mongol nobles and set off in the first wave, followed by the first squadron that was responsible for the forward duties, and each squad was in a rubber carriage pulled by three horses, and marched forward "boom" The smoke and dust stirred up by the horses' hooves and wheels were several feet high and obscured the sky and the sun

The command vehicles of Kawada Kuniaki and Shirakawa Shiro followed the first squadron about 500 meters away, and the driver carefully controlled the speed, and there was also a small group of mounted infantry around to provide escorts in case they were assassinated by Chinese sharpshooters

The little devils of the other three squadrons did not have war horses or carriages to travel, especially the fourth squadron, that is, the remnants of the army left in the Black Stone Village before Kawada Kuniaki took office, and even the officers could not mix with the mounts, so they could only march with ordinary soldiers with a donkey face, panting, no way, who told them to be left by their predecessors, and their combat effectiveness was also ranked last in the entire Kawada brigade According to the tradition of the Great Japanese Empire, such a team would not be treated anywhere, so it is no wonder that Kawada Kuniaki looked at them differently

The impact of the defeat near the Black Rock Village some time ago on the entire Kawada Brigade has not yet been completely resolved, so the four squadrons are not fully formed, and the soldiers at the bottom can't muster any battle in their hearts.** In the mobilization and scolding of the devil officers, they dragged their feet and dragged forward for a whole day, not only did they not bite the tail of the 93rd Regiment, but they also expanded the distance between each other from more than 40 miles to more than 60 miles, and almost lost the shadow of each other

"The first squadron went to the top of the hill in front and set up camp The baggage team retreated two kilometers back and camped The fourth squadron was responsible for protecting the baggage team The other two squadrons and the brigade headquarters camped in place to rest "Seeing that the devil soldiers under his command were already tired and half dead, Kawada Kuniaki had no choice but to order the team to stop For the sake of safety, he deliberately stationed the four squadrons under his command in three different places, leaving a distance of about two kilometers between each two camps, in case the 93rd Regiment suddenly killed him in the middle of the night, and he didn't even have time to retreat

Seeing that the head of the family arranged it like this, the devil soldiers were also suspicious, and they didn't sleep peacefully all night, and whenever they heard the wind and grass, they immediately ran out of the tent with their guns in their arms, and beat them all over the dark place, and finally survived until dawn, and the guessed sneak attack didn't happen, and from Kawada Kuniaki himself down, every devil was red-eyed

The only thing that made them feel relieved was that the 93rd Regiment also stopped to rest at night and did not rush in the dark In this way, there was still a possibility that the Kawada Brigade would entangle the other party After breakfast, several friendly troops were contacted by radio to confirm that they were not too far away Kawada Kuniaki thought about it and ordered to continue the pursuit

What followed was another day of meaningless fatigue marching, and the distance between the two sides continued to increase, and when he camped at night, Kawada Kuniaki still added one hundred and twenty cautions, resolutely not giving the opponent a chance, and waited until dawn to beat his spirits again, and pursued them closely

The hard work paid off, and this time, their efforts finally had a little effect, and at about noon, the reconnaissance team that was exploring the way in front sent someone back to report that the 93rd Regiment was blocked by a seasonal river, and was trying to erect a pontoon bridge over the river

"What about the original bridge, I remember there was a wooden bridge over the river, why didn't they go from the wooden bridge?" Shirakawa Shiro immediately became alert when he heard this, and grabbed the reins of the scout's horse, and asked loudly

"The seasons are different," the scout replied as he gasped, "There's a seasonal river ahead of us, the last time we crossed it was during the dry winter season, and the wooden bridge worked, and now it's the spring flood season, and the river has expanded three times, and it turns out that the wooden bridge is now running to the middle of the river."

"Amaterasu bless" Kuniaki Kawada jumped down from the command car excitedly and jumped high, "Build a pontoon bridge, build a pontoon bridge, I see how much time they have to squander, the communication team, hurry up and call Morikawa Osa, tell him the current location of the 93rd Regiment, the first squadron, lean on them immediately, harass them, don't let them erect the pontoon bridge, and the rest of the squadrons chase me forward."

"Yes" Seeing that victory was in sight, the devil soldiers were also excited, and they agreed in unison to carry out the order separately Shirakawa Shiro, the combat staff officer, hesitated, jumped off the command car, and walked towards Kawada Kuniaki on foot, "Kawada-kun, be careful of deceit, that fat man likes to play tricks and tricks the most."

"I know, I'm on guard," Kawada Kuniaki nodded, his face full of confidence, "When we catch up with them five kilometers away, I immediately stop the team and build fortifications, if he doesn't attack, we will keep sending people to harass him, if he turns around and comes back to attack, we can defend it, if we can't defend it, immediately stride back, I don't believe that he dares to chase after him."

"Try to be careful, time is on our side" Seeing that Kuniaki Kawada was not carried away by the revenge ** Shirakawa Shiro nodded and told with a smile

"Of course, there is no hurry in the next two days," Kawada Kuniaki responded with a smile, jumped back into the command car, and urged the team to speed up the speed, and constantly issued orders to the reconnaissance team on the way, asking them to expand the search area in case they were ambushed by the enemy, and the reconnaissance team was accused of making chickens and dogs jump and be exhausted, but all the good news that came back was that the 93rd Regiment, which was in a hurry to get rid of the pursuing troops, did not bother to set up an ambush around it, and did not even think of a plan to go to the suspicious army

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was less than 20 miles, Kuniaki Kawada was excited, his heart was beating wildly, he stood on the command car, and shouted orders to the people around him, "The first squadron continues to harass the enemy troops, the baggage team and the fourth squadron slow down, follow the last two squadrons, lean over, seize the hill in front of you, and build a machine gun ........"

"Boom," a thunderclap of explosions pressed his command back into his throat, followed by several Type 09 shells whizzing down near his command vehicle, blowing up the surrounding escort team and flipping them on their backs

The "crunch" command car turned off in an instant The quality of the little devil's car was as bad as their tank, and it could not withstand the impact of the aftermath of the shells

Masayoshi Mitsui, the leader of the "Protection Chief" escort team, jumped down from his horse, took three steps and made two steps, threw himself in front of the command car that had stopped the flame, picked up Kuniaki Kawada, and strode backwards

"Let go of me, let go of me, I need to command the battle" Kuniaki Kawada ordered loudly while struggling Too much, too much The 93rd Regiment actually dared to unload the artillery from the carriage and counterattack Are they going to die Morikawa Wing is about to chase them and break them into pieces

"Shelling, shelling, you must first run outside the shelling area," Mitsui reminded with a hoarse voice as he clenched his arms hard

The 93rd Regiment is equipped with four Soviet-made mountain guns, which are extremely powerful, but relatively bulky, and once deployed, it is difficult to move at any time, and Kawada Kuniaki knows this very well in his heart, so after struggling a few times to no avail, he gave up continuing to pretend to be a hero, hugged Mitsui's shoulders with both hands, turned around and shouted backwards, "Come on, come on, order the first squadron to break off, the other squadrons to quickly retreat, disengage from the Chinese, don't panic, don't panic, they dare not chase."

"They've caught up, sir," a devil lieutenant with a bloody face reminded angrily Kawada Kuniaki was slightly stunned, and looked at it again, and sure enough, behind the smoke and dust from the shells, he saw the light blue military uniform like a tide The entire 93rd Regiment turned around and killed it under the cover of mountain artillery, and the 1st Squadron he sent to carry out the harassment mission could not resist it at all, and was beaten and retreated, and the 2nd and 3rd Squadrons, which were still far away from the 93rd Regiment, could not get his timely command and became a mess Some of the brave soldiers looked for concealment on the spot and prepared to block the enemy The others, armed with their weapons, staggered to join the retreat

"Stop, retreat while fighting, run like this, no one can go" Kawada Kuniaki was in a hurry, both eyes were bleeding "Stop, stop, don't run around, the second squadron, the second squadron block in place, the third squadron, the third squadron retreats two kilometers, and then dig field fortifications to meet the second squadron, the Morikawa United, the Morikawa United, the Morikawa United, the Morikawa Wing is coming soon, the time is on our side."

"Boom" was another violent explosion that completely swallowed his order This time it was in the direction of his escape Kawada Kuniaki twisted his head and pressed his hand on Mitsui's shoulder Looking into the distance, I saw several Soviet-made 09 mountain artillery warheads grazing over his head and continuously smashing into the retreating baggage team in a panic Dismantling a car and several surrounding carriages directly into parts And farther away, hundreds of cavalry rushed out from the junction of the grassland and the sky Each of them carried a saber in his hand The cold light was full of murderous energy
