Xu Rui's combat order was soon issued to the Shanxian Militia Brigade. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When receiving the order, the Shanxian militia brigade was following Wang Husheng to attack the highway between the county seat and Badou Town, and uprooting the devil's stronghold along the line.

After receiving the order, Shan Da rushed to find Wang Husheng and reported: "Political commissar, the commander has sent a telegram. ”

When Wang Husheng heard this, he hurriedly put down the shovel in his hand, then wiped his hands, and then took the telegram from Shan Da's hand.

After reading the telegram, Wang Husheng said to Shan Da: "The little devil wants to escape, Lao Xu asked us to step up the destruction of the road, even dig up the country road, and then blow up the bridge on the Badou River to ensure that the little devil's heavy equipment cannot pass through Badou Town!" Captain Shan, you quickly gather your team and prepare to attack the stronghold of Badou Town! ”

After the devils burned and plundered in Badou Town, they built a stronghold outside the town.

If Wang Husheng's Minfu team wants to cut the road near Badou Town and blow up the bridge, they must first pull out the devil stronghold in Badou Town, because the devils in Badou Town's stronghold will interfere with their attack.

After Shan Dade's order, he immediately went to assemble the Shan County Militia Brigade.

Today's Shanxian militia brigade has more than 1,000 troops, and the equipment is not bad, the old-fashioned firearms such as old sleeves and firearms have been basically eliminated, and most of the militia have used new weapons such as Hanyang-made and Zhongzheng, and there is even a 60-caliber light mortar, which is the treasure of Shanda.

There is only one squad of the little devils in the stronghold of Badou Town, and there is also a company of the puppet army.

Seeing more than 1,000 militiamen surrounded by black pressure, the puppet army in the stronghold immediately panicked, and then, Shan Da set up a 60-caliber mortar, bombarded the turret with two cannons, and lifted the roof on the top of the turret at once, and the more than 100 puppet troops guarding the stronghold immediately coaxed, raised the white flag and wanted to surrender.

The little devils in the stronghold refused to let them go, and began to intimidate and slaughter the puppet army.

Then, the puppet army began to resist, started a melee, although the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is weak, but the victory is in the number of people, more than 100 puppet army is enough to bite more than a dozen devils alive with teeth, ten minutes later, more than a dozen devils in the stronghold were killed by the puppet army, and then the puppet army put down the drawbridge, lined up to surrender.

The Shanxian Militia Brigade bloodlessly pulled out the stronghold of Badou Town.

After receiving the good news, Wang Husheng immediately took more than 1,000 people into Badou Town, first blew up the bridge, and then began to dig up the roads in Badou Town, even the dirt roads in the countryside, and by the evening, the roads and country roads in Badou Town with a length of more than 100 kilometers had all been dug up.

However, at this time, the devils who rushed over from Feidong Town for reinforcements also arrived.

After the Kumamoto division left Hijo, Okabe Naosaburo left a brigade to Katsuji Ima, who stayed in Hijo, responsible for protecting the four towns of Hijo and the logistics supply lines behind him.

However, this devil infantry squad that rushed to reinforce was ambushed by the Shanxian militia brigade instead, and the whole army was wiped out!

After that, Ima Shengzhi, who stayed in Feicheng, did not dare to act rashly, because his troops were very limited, and he did not dare to send troops out easily, otherwise the safety of the four towns of Feicheng could not be guaranteed, after all, the enemy of the Japanese army was not only the Dameishan Independent Regiment, but also the National Army entrenched in the Dabie Mountains.

Moreover, Ima Katsuji has received a report that the main force of the Nationalist Army has appeared in Shu County.

Therefore, Ima Katsuji gave up his efforts to retake Hachito Town and open up supply lines, but only sent a telegram to Okabe Naosaburo to report the situation of Hachito Town to him truthfully, and Imaka Katsuji's implication was to let Okabe Naosaburo choose another route to retreat, and Hachito Town might not be safe.

But at this time, Naosaburo Okabe could no longer change it.

Because the general staff of the Kumamoto Division had already drawn up a retreat plan, the order had already been issued, and the various wings were even retreating in an orderly manner, if the order was changed at this time, it would not only seriously delay time, but would also inevitably cause chaos, and once the 47th Infantry Wing was defeated by the Dameishan Independent Regiment, it would be a big trouble.

What's more, even if the retreat route is changed, who knows if there will be an obstruction in other directions?

Therefore, Okabe Naosaburo still decided to retreat from Hachito Town, Okabe Naosaburo thought that the activities in Hachito Town were only a group of militia, and the combat effectiveness was very limited, as long as the main force of the Kumamoto Division arrived, they would be able to defeat them in a blink of an eye, and it should not be much delayed.

However, Naosaburo Okabe really thought wrong this time.

All his assumptions were based on the premise that Xu Rui was not sure that the Kumamoto division was going to retreat.

However, unfortunately, Xu Rui had already judged in advance that the Kumamoto Division was going to retreat, and before the Kumamoto Division had retreated, Xu Rui had already ordered Qiu Feng's guard battalion to rush to Badou Town with a forced march, and when the advance of the Kumamoto Division, the first infantry brigade of the 23rd Infantry Wing arrived at Badou Town, the guard battalion had already arrived first!

"Battalion Commander Qiu, your regular army is here, and we have the bottom in our hearts." Shan Da stepped forward and said to Qiu Feng with a smile.

"Shan Brigade, your militia has worked hard, so give it to us next." Qiu Feng shook hands with Shan Da, and then asked, "By the way, what about the political commissar?" ”

Shan Da hurriedly said: "The political commissar is digging the road ahead with people." ”

Wang Husheng is an old party member who is extremely responsible and conscientious in his work, and he is meticulous in his work.

Qiu Feng said: "Shan Brigade, you immediately notify the political commissar and ask him to evacuate with the people quickly!" ”

Qiu Feng never wanted to see any casualties among the people, and he didn't want Wang Husheng to do anything good.

Xu Rui is of course indispensable to the Dameishan Military Division, but Wang Husheng is also equally important, if he changes to a separate political commissar, the Dameishan Military Division may not be able to have today's situation, not to mention that Wang Husheng has a very good relationship with Xu Rui, if Wang Husheng really has a good relationship, Xu Rui must peel his skin if he knows.

Thinking of this, Qiu Feng said again: "Shan Brigade, this way, you take the Shan County Militia Brigade and quickly escort the political commissar and the Minfu team back to the base area." ”

Shan Da hesitated and said, "What about Badou Town?" ”

"It's okay here, there's our guard barracks." After Qiu Feng finished speaking, he told again, "Captain Shan, remember to protect the safety of the political commissar and the people's team, do you hear?" ”

"Got it." Shan Da nodded, turned and left.

Autumn Wind immediately took over the positions of the militia brigade with his troops.

As soon as the guard battalion entered the position, there were sporadic fires under the night sky ahead, but it was the vanguard of the Kumamoto Division, the 23rd Infantry Wing, coming.

Qiu Feng stretched out his hand and pulled the bolt of the gun, shouting, "Prepare for battle!" ”

The officers and men of the guard battalion pulled the bolts of their guns one after another, and pushed the bullets to load.

(Dividing Line)

The wing commander of the 23rd Wing of the Devil Infantry is called Sano Torata, an old devil in his early forties.

In the army of small Japan, except for the children of the imperial family, there is no one under the age of 40, and if you want to be promoted to a general, it is absolutely impossible to be 50 years old, but the national army is different, the national army, especially the Central Army, there are many generals in their early thirties.

Sano Torota was already promoted to Osaku in his early forties, which was already very rare in the Japanese army.

Therefore, for his military future, Sano Torota is also full of confidence, before stepping on the Chinese battlefield, Sano Torota was even looking forward to being promoted to major general, but after arriving in the Chinese battlefield, Sano Torota really realized that the Chinese are not as easy to deal with as he imagined.

In particular, the Battle of Feicheng half a year ago completely subverted his perception of the Chinese.

Therefore, this time against the Dameishan Independent Regiment's sweeping operation, Sano Tiger is walking on thin ice, always vigilant, lest one wrong step will fall into a catastrophe in an instant, but some things are not transferred by human will, war, not that you are vigilant enough, you can avoid all dangers.

A sudden explosion alarmed Torota Sano.

The adjutant and several guards immediately surrounded and protected Sano Torota in the middle.

"Yaga!" Sano Tomata slapped the adjutant and scolded, "Do you think I'm not conspicuous enough?" ”

In order to avoid becoming the prey of wolf teeth, the generals, adjutants and even lieutenants of the Kumamoto Division are really aggrieved, not only do they dare not wear generals and colonels that symbolize their status, but even their shoes must be the same as ordinary soldiers' board cowhide shoes, but clothes and shoes can be changed, but some deep-rooted habits are not so easy to break.

For example, in case of danger, the adjutant and the guard will always habitually protect the commander.

For example, when the signal corps reports to the commander-in-chief, it is customary to bow first.

These deep-rooted habits pose a great threat to the officers of the devil, and there are many lieutenants and even adjutants, who died tragically under the guns of the wolf's teeth because of such habits.

"Hello." The adjutant was slapped in the face, and he habitually nodded at Sano Torata.

At this time, Sano Torota didn't even bother to get angry, because he also knew that some habits were not so easy to break.

After a while, the signal corps sent back by the 1st Infantry Brigade arrived and reported the bad news to Sano Torata: the road ahead was densely packed with mines!

"Landmines?" Sano Torota sank, and hurriedly rushed to the front with the adjutant and guards.

Because Sano Torota was wearing an ordinary devil military uniform, and there was no marker indicating the rank of Osa on his body, he didn't worry about his safety at all, and went straight to the forefront, only to find that the road in front was indeed full of small flags, and there was a wooden sign erected in front of these dense small flags.

The wooden sign also reads: There are mines here, please walk carefully! (To be continued.) )
