Chapter 346: Fierce Battle in Huangshan: Temporary Evacuation
Lei Zheng and Tang Yu had already seen the danger on the right flank and were about to send people to support, when they heard the sound of gunfire coming from behind the devil, and the explosion was extremely violent.
"What's going on!?" Ushijima asked in surprise,
Someone quickly went to ask the signal corps, and came back in a moment to report: "Report to the brigade commander!" The supply team behind us is under attack! All supplies were blown up! ”
"Yaga! Didn't you let the 13th and 45th wings watch! "Because the losses of the two wings were relatively large, Ushijima had them at the back of the team.
"A cavalry of thousands of people came from the other side, they were very fast, and just as our army was about to organize a counterattack, seven armored vehicles appeared in these cavalry ranks, and the machine guns on their vehicles were so powerful that our army could only retreat."
"Seven armored vehicles! Cavalry! Yaga! Behind him is Qi Rui's main force! Ushijima's 45th Wing suffered a big loss from armored vehicles, and he also remembered the strength of that cavalry.
"What did you say?" Shimizu Xi asked again,
"Qi Rui's main force has gone behind us!" Ushijima repeated,
"Then why don't we send the army over quickly!?"
"Commander of the Clear Water Division! Our cavalry wing didn't follow, what if they led us out of the mountains? ”
"Commander of the Ushijima Brigade! If they dare to go outside the mountain, then aren't they looking for death! So be it! I'll leave you a brigade, and I'll only take one brigade to pursue them, maybe this is their plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao! Shimizu said with joy,
Ushijima was right when he thought about it, Huangyaling's resistance was so tenacious, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like the main force of the wolf's head army, maybe it was because Qi Rui was a little unbearable, so he sent cavalry to attack behind him.
So Ushijima Mitsuru agreed to Qing Shui Kishi's arrangement and said: "What the commander of the Qing Shui Division said is also reasonable, now that Huangya Ridge is under our fierce attack, Qi Rui wants to lure us into dividing our troops!" But what about the division of troops, he shouldn't have thought that we now have more than 20,000 troops! ”
"General Ushijima, I'll leave it to you here!"
"Commander of the Clear Water Division! You must destroy their cavalry! ”
"Don't worry! I wish I had eliminated them more than you do! ”
Shimizu Kishige gave the 130 Brigade to Ushijima Man, and personally led the 119 Brigade to the back, the devil's line was relatively long, and when Shimizu Kishige arrived at the back, the 13th Wing and 45th Wing of the Sixth Division were resisting the onslaught of the wolf tooth ghost cavalry, the lone wolf brigade, the White Russian cavalry, and the blood wolf commando.
What made it very difficult for these two wings to resist was the fourteen Makqin on the heavy machine guns of the seven vehicles, and Qi Rui was not worried that the Makqin had no bullets at all, because the ammunition belt on the trunk of the car was sufficient.
Only seven vehicles loaded with machine guns came from the Shadow Pupil detachment, and the others were led by Liang Qing and a part of the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade soldiers to ambush at the No. 3 mountain pass.
"Big brother! Devil's reinforcements have arrived! Helan Bokun said,
"Retreat immediately!" Because the mountain blocked Qi Rui from attacking the flank of the devil, he could only attack the back of the devil, and now all he had to do was to mobilize the army of devils, and it was best if they could divide their troops.
Qi Rui and the others rode their horses and evacuated quickly, and when Qing Shui Xizhong came over with a large army, they saw a cavalry team of two or three thousand people heading east.
Qing Shui Xizhong didn't dare to chase at all, because he was worried that Qi Rui would have an ambush in front, and with the speed of the cavalry, he couldn't catch up at all, so he stayed behind with the 119 brigade, in order to prevent these cavalry from coming back.
Qi Rui saw that the devil did not catch up, and asked Lei Zheng and Tang Yu about their situation, I heard that each detachment had lost nearly half, which was a little worried, plus now that the devil had concentrated the strength of the two wings to attack, he knew that soon the New Fourth Army and Tianlong Village should not be able to withstand it.
So Qi Rui told Tang Yu and Lei Zheng that as long as they repelled the devils, they would immediately evacuate Huangya Ridge, enter the Xihai Grand Canyon, and hide first.
The canyon of the Xihai Grand Canyon is deep, the cliffs are towering, and the ravines are spreading, Qi Rui let them enter the canyon first, and he concluded that the devils would not dare to enter easily.
By the time the team entered the Grand Canyon, it was estimated that it would be dark, and the devils would not be able to get out of the mountain for a while, and when it was night, Qi Rui planned to have a good time with the devils.
Tang Yu conveyed Qi Rui's order to Shang Wenhua and Li Maoshan, and now the casualties on both sides have almost reached one-third, Tong Lin and the women's army are no longer busy, and Doctor Zhou Shuxue is even busier, with Cai Yuanling helping her, her legs are trembling, because she has been doing surgery all the time, and there are too many wounded this time.
Shang Wenhua knew that it would not be so easy to withdraw if there was no team cover, so he asked Tang Yu and them to withdraw first, and the independent regiment left cover.
At this time, the two teams of the Old Wolf Detachment and the Fury Wind Detachment combined were only about 500 people, and the loss of troops was nearly half, and most of the soldiers had been wounded.
Tang Yu telegraphed Qi Rui again about Shang Wenhua's decision, and Qi Rui finally agreed, and he agreed after many considerations.
Because the Angry Wind Detachment and the Old Wolf Detachment did not have many remaining troops, and they still had to cover the wounded, Qi Rui, the bandit of Tianlong Village, would definitely not dare to count on it, so only the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army could complete this task, but Qi Rui also knew that there were not many people left in the Independent Regiment at that time.
But in order to destroy these two divisions, it must be done, otherwise neither of them can be withdrawn.
After Qi Rui agreed to Shang Wenhua's request, this time he only took the White Russian cavalry, the lone wolf brigade and the blood wolf commando team to attack behind the devil, and the seven vehicles with heavy machine guns would definitely follow.
Fujiwara Hideaki and Murata Yuichiro and the 47th Wing failed to capture Huangya Ridge after three charges, until the devil's bombers came to bomb again, and the devil stopped the strong attack, taking advantage of this opportunity, the angry wind detachment and the old wolf detachment and the bandits of Tianlongzhai withdrew from their positions.
Shang Wenhua led the independent regiment into Tang Yu's previous position, abandoning the two wings, Tang Yu and the others covered the wounded and the women's army quickly left and rushed to the Xihai Grand Canyon.
After the bombing of the devil bombers, the 47th Wing attacked the main force, with the Fujiwara Wing and Murata Wing assisting in the charge again, but was met with stubborn resistance from the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army.
At this time, less than 1,000 people remained of the Fujiwara Wing's more than 3,000 people, and the Murata Wing also had only one brigade left, and the losses of the 47th Wing of the 6th Division were not very large, with less than 500 dead and wounded.
This strong attack suddenly felt that the opponent's firepower was much weaker, and it was all from the front, so the commander of the 47th Wing, Fukai Yuma, ordered the attack on all fronts.
The pressure on the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army was unprecedented, and Shang Wenhua sent a telegram to political commissar Xiao Yongwen, asking him to report the battle situation to the higher-level chiefs.
Xiao Yongwen saw that Shang Wenhua was determined to die, so he immediately telegraphed to the superior leadership, and the independent regiment did not tell the superior before participating in this operation.
