Chapter 124 The muddy earth, the war clouds are urging
The sky is slightly bright, the showers are beginning to stop, the earth is muddy, and the air is moist.
On the ruined city wall of Shucheng, a tired Sichuan baby poked his head out from behind the wet ruins, and a pair of eyes scanned the little devil's position outside the city, and suddenly, he roared, "The little devil has moved, turtle'er, they want to play tricks again!" ”
A captain officer ran over with a cat and hurriedly looked out of the city, "Baby, don't make a fuss about Lao Tzu...... Turtle's, little devil is going to run! ”
"Company commander, what should I do?" When the baby heard this, her spirits perked up, "Do you want to catch me?" ”
The company commander glared back at him, "Get a hammer!" There is a brigade and a security regiment in the city, and so far, there are less than 2,000 people left, what to do? ”
"Then report to the chief," Mi Wazi was a little anxious, "the little devil is going to run, something must have happened......"
The company commander looked out of the city and shook his head gently, "Only the cavalry ran away...... The infantry didn't move, so it shouldn't be a big deal. ”
Outside the city, more than 500 horsemen drove out of the little devil's position, and went north along the avenue, and the iron hooves broke through the muddy road, and the muddy water splashed.
Naito Daisa looked at the distant iron hooves of the empire and shook his head gently.
"Your Excellency?" The staff officer looked puzzled, "You're not optimistic about this operation?" ”
"Kojima-kun," Naito Osa didn't look back, his tone was indifferent, "The mountains of western Anhui are undulating, and it is not an ideal place to gallop horses. ”
Kojima Nakasa was stunned, nodded, and sighed, "The flash flood has destroyed the road, and at this time, only the cavalry is suitable for pursuit." ”
Naito Osa nodded, "I can only wish Kasai Kimima a success!" As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Shucheng with burning eyes, "Our battlefield is still in Shucheng!" Ladies and gentlemen, the war in Shucheng cannot be delayed any longer! ”
"Hey!" The officials behind him bowed their heads and promised!
Today is June 6th, and the battle in Shucheng really can't be delayed any longer!
On the city wall, the brigade commander who came in a hurry looked out of the city and sighed softly, "Turtle's, just withdraw a few cavalry...... The battle of Lao Tzu is still difficult to fight! ”
"Brigade commander," a colonel officer looked at the black and oppressive little devil outside the city, his face worried, "when will the reinforcements arrive?" ”
The brigade commander shook his head slightly, "Only God knows!" As soon as this heavy rain came, those turtles of the 26th Group Army didn't know how long it would drag on! ”
The colonel's expression darkened, and he muttered, "Who shouted that Lao Tzu is the Sichuan army......
The brigade commander turned his head suddenly, glaring at him with blazing eyes, "Wang Mazi, don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu, greet the brothers and prepare, the little devil should attack again!" ”
The colonel's expression turned pale, and he looked out of the city and said fiercely: "Come on, Lao Tzu are still afraid of his turtle sons?" Lao Tzu let him have no return! ”
Shankan Village, more than 60 miles away from Lu'an in the west and more than 80 miles away from Feixi in the east, is located in a hilly area, and is a small village with only 20 or 30 households.
At this time, the village was full of people, a national army unit was assembling, the soldiers were in rags, and there was no shortage of bloodstained wounded.
"Report!" A second lieutenant officer came in a hurry and ran up to a colonel officer, panting, "Two miles to the north, a team was found, wearing steel helmets, like the Central Army, carrying many large boxes, like munitions ......"
The colonel frowned, "How could the Central Army pop up here?" Go up and ask! ”
"Yes!" The second lieutenant officer said yes and hurried away.
To the west of Feizhuang, the road was muddy, and a team was trudging with difficulty.
Li Siwei stopped, looked up at the rising sun, and was a little irritable, "God, if it rains, let it continue to rain for Lao Tzu, at this time, there is a sun, are you going to sauna for Lao Tzu?" ”
Liao Heiniu was also a little irritable, "As soon as the sun comes out, the brothers of the first and second battalions are only afraid...... I can't bear it. ”
Li Siwei waved his hand, "Forget it, Lao Tzu, hurry up, keep up, your battalion will replace the second battalion." ”
"Okay," Liao Heiniu nodded, and turned back to greet the brothers, "all run, run, and replace the brothers of the first battalion...... There are only a few dozen miles to Lu'an. ”
"Okay," the soldiers agreed, carrying the empty boxes and speeding up, the road muddy and muddy water splashing everywhere.
More than 20 miles southwest of Feizhuang, on the muddy road, more than 1,000 little devils came with murderous spirit, different from ordinary little devils, each of them had a gas mask hanging on their backpack.
The person at the head rode a big horse, was tall, and his face was cold and arrogant, it was Kumamoto Shaosa.
The team stopped in front of a small hill, and a herald came on horseback and went straight to Kumamoto Shaosa, "Report Shaosa, the foot in front is split in two under the hillside, all the way to the north, all the way to the south. ”
Kumamoto Shaozo frowned, and looked back at the officials, "Natsume-kun, your department is pursuing north." ”
"Hey," Captain Natsume nodded, turned his horse's head and headed north, "Natsume's squadron comes with me!" ”
In Shankan Village, Shi Meng was rushing with his brothers to bury his head, but when he saw more than ten ragged soldiers rushing out of the roadside, he was suddenly startled and shouted: "Which army are you from?" ”
The person who came was the second lieutenant officer, he looked at Shi Meng and smiled, "We are from the 199th Division, which unit are you?" ”
Shi Meng's heart was a little relieved, "Lao Tzu is from the newly formed 16th Brigade. ”
"Oh," the second lieutenant officer suddenly said, "no wonder, the regiment commander said how could there be a Central Army here?" It turned out to be a new one......"
Before his words fell, Shi Meng glared, "What's wrong with the new editor?" Lao Tzu is not bad, why are you cats here? ”
The second lieutenant officer froze for a moment, then smiled, "Alas, when we withdrew here from Hefei, it was raining heavily, so we rested in the village for a while...... Where are you from? What are you doing with so many weapons and ammunition? ”
Shi Meng smiled, "Lao Tzu came from Feixi, blew up the devil's arsenal, and brought some things out." ”
The second lieutenant officer was surprised and delighted, "Good! Can you give us some evenly? ”
Shi Meng hurriedly shook his head, "I can't give this thing to you, and you can't use it if you take it......"
The second lieutenant officer was stunned, "What can't be used?" Why can't you use all your hard work to move back? ”
Shi Meng hesitated, "Gas bomb!" ”
"Gas bombs?" The second lieutenant officer was startled, unconsciously took two steps back, and looked at him suspiciously, "What are you doing with that thing?" ”
Shi Meng glared, "Where does Lao Tzu know?" The head of the regiment let him move...... Forget it, don't delay the old men, the little devil can't tell when he will catch up. ”
The second lieutenant officer was stunned, "You robbed this thing, it's strange if they don't chase it!" ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and hurried away with the people.
Shi Meng was about to beckon his brothers to continue his journey, when he saw Miao Zhenhua hurrying over on a horse, "Battalion Commander Shi, the regiment commander will let you rest, wait a minute, the second battalion will change with you." ”
Shi Meng was stunned for a moment, "Lao Tzu can still hold on, the first battalion moved fifty miles last night, and Lao Tzu only moved more than thirty miles." ”
Miao Zhenhua dismounted and smiled, "The head of the regiment said that as soon as the sun comes out, the road will be more difficult to walk." Besides, this place is already very close to Lu'an, let the brothers also rest, and the brothers of the second battalion will move again, and they will arrive. ”
"That's good," Shi Meng smiled, "Brothers, the head of the regiment let you take a break, let's take a break." ”
Captain Natsume led the team to follow the footprints for less than three miles, and the front team stopped again, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the herald hurriedly came, "Report to the captain, the footprints in front of him are divided into two ......"
"Yaga," Captain Natsume said with an angry face, "cunning Shina! ”
Also feeling the same way as him was Kumamoto Shaosa, when he chased out of Wulidi, the footprints in front of him were also divided into two roads.
Kumamoto Shaozo got the report, and his face was gloomy, "How far is the follow-up force from us?" ”
"Sugiura Daisa's team has already passed the Shannanji," the attendant hurriedly reported, "and it is no more than fifteen miles away from my headquarters." ”
Kumamoto Shaozo got the report, groaned slightly, gritted his teeth and said: "The soldiers are divided into two ways, Kawashima-kun, your department is pursuing north!" ”
"Hey!" Captain Kawashima said yes and was leaving.
Staff Officer Captain Toshino hurriedly dissuaded, "Wait a minute, Shaozuo, this is a trick of the Shina people......"
Kumamoto Shaosa waved his hand, "I understand, but, since there are footprints, there will always be someone!" We...... Had to chase! ”
Captain Tomino was stunned, "Hey! ”
This is the shame of the Thirteenth Division, a shame that must be washed away with blood!
To the north of Pozhuang, Lu Quanyou and his brothers from the third company had just crossed a mountain col when they were stopped by a group of ragged national troops.
Lu Quanyou looked at the leading captain officer with a smile, "Brother, what's the matter?" ”
The captain officer also had a smile on his face, "We are from the 199th Division, brother, which unit are you from?" ”
Lu Quanyou's smile did not decrease, "We are from the newly formed 16th Brigade and have been ordered to retreat. ”
The captain officer was overjoyed, "Brother, you have to withdraw anyway, leave some weapons and ammunition for us......"
Lu Quanyou waved his hand, "No, it's all empty boxes......"
"Empty boxes?" The captain officer was stunned, "What are you carrying empty boxes for?" ”
Lu Quanyou smiled, "Carry it for the little devil." ”
Yes, that's what the head of the regiment said, carry it to the little devils!
"Carry it to the little devil?" The captain officer was stunned, "Why are there little devils here?" ”
Lu Quanyou's expression was full, "Not yet, but the little devil's pursuers will come soon!" ”
"You lured the little devils here?" The captain officer was startled, and turned around and left with a group of brothers, "Damn, the regiment commander also said that there is a good thing!" Well, I didn't get the weapons and ammunition, but I met the little devil. ”
Looking at their backs, Lu Quanyou sighed with a complicated expression, "Alas, this trick of the head of the regiment...... It's not kind! ”
Zhao Dezhu, the commander of the third company, pouted, "What's unkind, it's all friendly troops......"
Lu Quanyou shook his head, "Looking at their appearance, they have just suffered a defeat, and they may not have enough weapons and ammunition...... When you meet a little devil, you will inevitably have a hard battle. ”
Zhao Dezhu was stunned, "However, we don't have extra weapons and ammunition for them." ”
"Alas," Lu Quanyou sighed and gritted his teeth, "Forget it, go talk to them and see if we can cooperate...... Hit the little devil in an ambush! ”
"Okay!" Zhao Dezhu perked up, "The first and second companies are not far away, and they can rush over as soon as the gun goes off!" ”
In Shankan Village, Liao Heiniu and his brothers continued to travel west with poison gas bombs, but Li Siwei went straight into the village and found Head Wu.
Li Siwei looked at the resolute head of the Wu regiment and got straight to the point, "The little devil's pursuit may not be far away, are you interested in doing it together and fighting those turtle sons in an ambush?" ”
Commander Wu was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Siwei's Sichuan accent, "Your new 16th Brigade is a Sichuan Army?" ”
Li Siwei shook his head and smiled, "Lao Tzu is from the Sichuan Army!" You say, are you interested in doing it together? ”
Regiment Leader Wu frowned, his face was bitter, "Brother, we have just retreated from defeat, and there are not many weapons and ammunition left......
Li Siwei waved his hand, "This is not a problem...... There shouldn't be many chasers for the little devils, Lao Tzu joined forces in one place, and each broke through, there is still hope to win! ”
Head Wu was still a little hesitant, "It's good to break each one, but I'm afraid the little devil won't let us do this, right?" ”
Li Siwei smiled, "It's up to them, Lao Tzu has cast all the bait, and he can't help some turtle sons not divide the army!" ”
"Bait?" Head Wu was taken aback, "Brother, you can't come nonsense, how can the gas bomb be used as a bait?" ”
Li Siwei hurriedly waved his hand, "How dare Lao Tzu use poison gas bombs as bait, but he still dares to use empty boxes as bait!" ”
More than 20 miles north of Shucheng, Shuanghe set, the market town is not big, surrounded by water on three sides, backed by mountains.
At the set, a team was assembling, the team was only four or five hundred people, the clothes were mixed, the weapons were rudimentary, most of the team members were hungry and thin, but they all held their heads high and their fighting spirits were high.
In front of the battle, a heroic young woman, carrying a shell gun, looked excited, "Comrades, I just received news that more than 100 devil cavalry are gathering from the south towards Shuanghe, and the situation is very urgent...... We will immediately go to the Shuanghekou outside the south gate to face the battle, and we must not let the little devils come to Shuangheji to harm the people! ”
"Yes!" Everyone agreed and was in high spirits.
Sanjue Town, located at the junction of Shou County, Lu'an and Hefei, is crossed by a wide road.
The 41st Division retreated from Hefei, and when the road encountered a storm, it was stationed in the town to rest, at this time the wind and rain had stopped, the sun was shining, and the various units had breakfast, and began to assemble, preparing to turn south.
Suddenly, a second lieutenant officer rode a horse into the town from the north, hurriedly jumped off his horse, and went straight to the temporary headquarters, "Report, fifty miles to the north, a brigade of devils has been found, more than ten trucks, and the number is unknown. ”
All the generals were stunned and looked at the second lieutenant.
The second lieutenant was stared at tightly, "That should be just the vanguard of the little devils......"
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged colonel was already furious, "It's too much to bully!" It's too much of a deception! The little devils really treat Lao Tzu as soft persimmons! Lao Tzu is also the Central Army! ”
"Commander, let's do it!" The generals looked at the general sitting on the main seat, and the crowd was indignant, "Division commander, you can't retreat!" ”
The division commander's face was gloomy, he slowly looked around at the generals, and stood up suddenly, "Fight immediately!" Lao Tzu also wants to let the little devils know that the 41st Division is not a soft persimmon! If they want to bite it, they have to knock out a few teeth! ”
"Yes!" The lieutenant generals perked up and left one after another.
As soon as the division commander turned around, "Staff Officer He, immediately telegraph to the 48th Division and ask them to make a roundabout response...... This time, it's going to hurt the dog's day! ”
"Yes!" The colonel's face was full of excitement, "I swallowed a mouthful of the dog day to relieve my anger!" ”
At this time, Li Siwei had just discussed with Head Wu. He didn't know, because of his tossing like this, on the muddy land between Shouxian, Lu'an, and Shucheng, all the troops moved, and for a while, the battle clouds were thick!
