Chapter 517: Annihilation of the Matsui Wing
Okamura Ninji planned to sacrifice the Matsui Wing to drag Qi Rui in order to buy time for the 16th Mixed Brigade, and he immediately ordered all the fighters to prepare and take off to bomb Qi Rui's troops as soon as it was dawn.
At the same time, he also gave the order to the Fujino Wing and the troops who rushed to the Anqing Ferry to immediately support the Matsui Wing.
The current Okamura Ningji is only looking forward to the dawn as soon as possible, and also looking forward to the 16th Mixed Brigade rushing to Niutoushan Town to block Qi Rui.
Because Qi Rui has not yet left the boundary of Anqing, the terrain on the south bank of Anqing is still relatively complicated, but it is still beneficial to the devil army.
Because there is the Yangtze River in the north and Shengjin Lake in the south, Qi Rui and they only have two directions to go, that is, to the west to the direction of Jiujiang.
But this is definitely unlikely, because Huangshan is in the southeast of Anqing, and if Qi Rui goes to Jiujiang, it will not be a self-defeating net, but the devils here have gathered tens of thousands of heavy troops.
Therefore, Okamura Ningji deduced from the location of the Matsui United that Qi Rui would definitely go east, and Niutoushan Town was the way they had to go, and this town was in the easternmost part of Shengjin Lake, which was also the narrowest distance between Shengjin Lake and the Yangtze River.
As long as the 16th Mixed Brigade arrived here in advance, Qi Rui's troops would be blocked, because to the north was the Yangtze River, and to the south was Shengjin Lake.
After Matsui Hashimoto received the order, he immediately notified the Ishibashi Brigade and asked them to come and join him immediately, which he meant to hold on desperately in one place.
The Shiqiao Brigade couldn't hold on to the enemy on three sides, and immediately withdrew after receiving the order, but they were followed by Qi Rui's army.
Liang Qing and they joined the battle and let the Ishiqiao brigade collapse, Tang Yu first led people to attack their right flank, the devil already felt bad at this time, Shiqiao had just arranged the defense of the right flank, and at this time the left flank was attacked again.
At this time, the Ishibashi Brigade was immediately chaotic, because it was attacked on three sides, and the firepower was too fierce to completely suppress them, and they immediately evacuated after receiving the order of Captain Matsui.
Liang Qing and the others saw that the devils had fled, so they planned to chase and kill for a while according to the original plan and then go to Qi Rui to meet them, but they didn't expect these devils to directly bring them to the battlefield on Qi Rui's side.
In this way, Liang Qing and Tang Yu also chased to the flank of the devil, and saw that the devil was so brainless, so Liang Qing immediately sent a telegram to Qi Rui asking to surround the devil and quickly annihilate them.
Now the Matsui United team still has more than half of the strength left, and Qi Rui and the thousands of troops on their side have all come over, and they still have this strength.
If it was in the past, Liang Qing didn't need to ask at all, but because he also knew that Qi Rui planned to leave here quickly, because it would be very troublesome after dawn.
Qi Rui immediately agreed, because the frontal attack still had to be stalemate for a while, and it was obviously impossible to withdraw immediately, and it would be great if this devil could be eliminated, because this devil was blocked here and affected the troops to continue to advance.
Because Qi Rui also knew one thing, that is, he had to pass through Niutoushan Town as quickly as possible, and it had to be before dawn.
Qi Rui thought about it more comprehensively, so he immediately sent Tong Xi to evacuate the battlefield with the wolf tooth ghost rider for a short repair, the fight here is so lively, the devil's reinforcements will definitely come over, so the next task of the wolf tooth ghost rider is to be led by Tong Xi to send reinforcements.
So Liang Qing immediately ordered Tong Chan to attack on the flank with the wolf-toothed ghost cavalry, while he and Tang Yu took the White Russian cavalry and the lone wolf brigade directly behind the ass of the Matsui Wing.
Matsui Hashimoto only regretted leaving the gap on the flank for Qi Rui's troops until now, he had only simply considered not letting the Ishibashi Brigade be wiped out, but he didn't want them to come over and let his flank be completely exposed in front of Qi Rui's troops.
Not only the flanks, but suddenly he was also attacked from behind, and Matsui Hashimoto was suddenly stupid, because he knew that he was finished, and he was going to die here because he had nowhere to escape now.
"Yaga!" Matsui Hashimoto scolded in despair,
"Captain! We're surrounded! "Because the Yangtze River is not far to the north, which has not been attacked.
"Ask for help! Fast! "If you don't come to support Matsui Hashimoto, I know that my wing will definitely be finished, the previous army is very capable of fighting, and now that Qi Rui and they are here, they can't beat it.
The distance between the enemy and us in night combat is not very far, and grenades can basically be obtained, and the fighters of the Qi Rui Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade throw grenades at least 60 meters or more, which is a daily training project.
At that time, grenades were one of the main weapons of our army, and Qi Rui's team was the same, because there were no tanks and heavy artillery, and mortars were not brought out much this time, and grenades were easy to use and very flexible, so they brought out a lot.
Qi Rui originally wanted to fight quickly, but now because the devil was attacked on three sides, the team was obviously shrinking, and at this time, the grenade came in handy.
Qi Rui informed Liang Qing that they would immediately charge after blowing up a wave of grenades and eliminate these devils as quickly as possible and leave the place.
"Grenade ready!" Liang Qing order,
Matsue Hashimoto was now planning to shrink down for a while and wait for reinforcements, but unexpectedly, countless grenades suddenly flew in.
With the sound of an explosion in the devil's position, this is a C-shaped encirclement, which directly blew up the devil's position.
"Rush!" After the explosion, Qi Rui got up and ordered,
The bandits of Black Wind Village and Jiulong Village all rushed out when they heard the order, and they didn't show when they behaved at this time.
At a distance of less than 100 meters, Qi Rui and the others rushed to the devil's position, and then with a faint fire, the remaining hundreds of devils who were almost all injured were quickly slaughtered.
The bandits of Heifeng Village and Jiulong Village are all practitioners, and there are also soldiers of the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade, and the devils who have lost their fighting spirit have no ability to resist at all.
Matsui Hashimoto was going to hold on for a while, but he didn't want a wave of grenades to end, he was going to commit suicide, but before he could get ready, Xiao Zhuge Sikong Nian had already killed him and seized his command knife.
After killing all the devils, Qi Rui asked everyone to clean up the battlefield immediately, bring only the useful ones, and then quickly leave here.
"Brother Qi! Why are you in such a hurry? Xiao Zhuge took the captured command knife and asked Qi Rui,
"We have to get through the town of Niutoushan quickly! Don't let the devils block us here!! Qi Rui said,
"Captain! Don't worry, I've arranged a team to pick you up in Niutoushan Town! Tang Yu said,
"Who's where?" Qi Rui's men and horses in Huangshan were almost all here, and he asked very strangely,
"Tong Lin, Ming Xiaomei and Pei Erya are leading the Women's Army!" Tang Yu said with a smile,
"They're here too!?" This Qi Rui really didn't know, he didn't plan to let the women's army come out,
"I didn't plan to let them come, but Tong Lin was not happy, and they have been training very well with Ming Xiaomei and Pei Erya recently, I can't resist them."
