Chapter 374: Weihe Bridge

Li Daxiao is a gangster on Longwangmiao Street, and he is the best at observing words and feelings. As soon as he saw this posture, Li Daxiao screamed bitterly in his heart: It's over, it's over, I'm afraid the imperial army will lose the battle! Otherwise, how could it be possible to take out the machine guns and grenadiers and put them at the head of the Weihe bridge? Could it be that the Eighth Route Army is coming to attack the Dragon King Temple?

Because he was just a little traitor, he didn't have a radio or radio, and he didn't know a few big characters, Li Daxiao didn't know about the Eighth Route Army's attack on Chenqiao, let alone the Eighth Route Army's annihilation of the Japanese army and its independent mixing into the main force of the Fourth Brigade tonight. But he knew about the Eighth Route Army's attack on Shijiazhuang, and it spread all over the Great Plains like a wind!

Li Daxiao, who is good at observing words and feelings, from the small incident that the Japanese army's machine gun muzzles and grenadier barrels are pointing to the south, immediately thought of the Japanese army's independent mixed Fourth Brigade that had lost the battle during lunch.

Li Daxiao wanted to smear the soles of his feet with oil when he boarded, but the captain of the Japanese army still expected him to organize people to work, so he sent a little devil, holding a 38 big cover, and followed him closely, wherever he went, he couldn't run if he wanted to!

Later, Li Daxiao wanted to open, and if he couldn't run, he wouldn't run for the time being, anyway, as long as the gunshots rang out, the Taijun wouldn't care about him, big deal, jump into the Wei River and swim downstream, no one would want to find him!

So, Li Daxiao began to distribute manpower according to the devil's instructions again, and began to repair fortifications for the little devil with a pouting head and an iron shovel.

The people who were found were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were all grinding, and the progress of the work was naturally very slow, and some people kept being hit by the butts of the ghost soldiers.

Li Daxiao immediately thought about it again: "The little devil seems to have really lost the battle, he is in a hurry to dig trenches, only beat people with the butt of his gun, and is not willing to lose labor." If it is put aside, the little devil will be stabbed directly with a bayonet! ”

Just when Li Daxiao was thinking wildly, the little devil in the county seat of Daimyo arrived.

The Japanese army remained in Daimyo with a squad of the 14th Division, and in addition to an infantry detachment stationed at Ryuwangmiao, the squad headquarters and two other infantry detachments were stationed in the county seat.

The Japanese army set up a pacification team in Daimyo County, which was actually a security team, with a different name and not many troops, only 100 people, and the captain was called Shaoye.

The reason why the strength of the daimyo puppet army is so small is mainly because the 14th Division has long since left, and the squad left behind has become a rootless Ping, the strength is too small, and it does not dare to go out of the city to sweep wantonly, which does not show the strength of the Japanese army, and the pacification team cannot develop.

After the devils in the county town rushed to the front line of the Weihe River with the pacification team, they started on the west bank of the Weihe River, and they were also digging trenches and digging foxholes to build positions.

In this way, the Japanese detachment stationed in Longwang Temple became the outpost position of the Japanese squad on the east bank of the Wei River.

The Japanese squad in Daimyo Prefecture received an order to rely on the Weihe River to block the delayed Eighth Route Army and blow up the Weihe Bridge if necessary. It's a pity that the Japanese squad stationed in the county town of Daimyo didn't have explosives at all, and it was impossible to blow up the bridge. They could only block it here, buying time for the arrival of the Japanese army.

If the Eighth Route Army arrived at the Wei River before the Japanese army, the blockade of this devil squad would be meaningless, and it would be purely a suicidal blockade!

The Japanese army's independent mixed 3rd Brigade and the Nara Detachment of the 16th Division were located on the east and west sides of Daimyo Prefecture, and the distance from Daimyo was about the same distance from Daimyo as the distance between the Eighth Route Army and Daimyo, which was ambushed at Majiaqiao.

The Eighth Route Army wanted to highlight the encirclement of the Japanese army, and its actions were definitely bold and unusual. But the Japanese army is also a team that is not afraid of sacrifice, and it will not be slow to act!

Xiao Siming drove the car and moved forward as fast as he could. Unfortunately, at this time, the Japanese army's cars had a small load capacity and slow speed, and the fastest speed was more than 30 kilometers per hour on dirt roads, which could not be faster. There are no other Eighth Route Army drivers, Xiao Siming feels that this is simply a turtle crawling!

After running for an hour and a half, Xiao Siming led a fast column to the Wei River.

A car headlight shone in the distance, piercing the night sky of the Weihe River!

As soon as he saw so many headlights coming from the south, the leader of the devil squad knew that the Eighth Route Army was coming. Suddenly, the little devils stopped their positional operations, and the commander of the devil detachment on the east side of the bridge shouted nonsense, and all 13 devils of the whole detachment fell into the shallow foxhole that had not yet been completed, and the machine gun group and grenadier group were ready for battle.

Li Daxiao's Longwang Temple security team was also arranged on the right side of his position by the devils, and the ordinary people who were driven to repair the fortifications immediately started to fight when they saw it, and they scattered and fled for their lives.

The captain of the devil detachment commanded the knife and pointed at the fleeing people, and shouted "kill to give", the Japanese machine guns and rifles immediately opened fire, and the bullets chased the backs of dozens of ordinary people in the Dragon King Temple.

Li Daxiao gasped when he saw it, and thought to himself, the marksmanship of the imperial army is too good, one hit a quasi, it is a fool to run away at this time, and he definitely did not die under the guns of the Eighth Route Army, but died under the guns of the imperial army first!

The vanguard of the fast column was the armored car, which did not enter the town after arriving at the Dragon King Temple, and directly pounced on the Weihe Bridge.

Under the illumination of the headlights, the Japanese positions on the east and west sides of the Weihe Bridge loomed into the field of vision of the vehicle-mounted machine gunners.

The 14th Division's squad left behind by the daimyo were all old devils with rich combat experience and extremely high individual quality. It's a pity that this is a battle that is not symmetrical at all. With an infantry squad that doesn't even have a heavy machine gun and a puppet army of more than 100 people, it is a fool's dream to stop the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army!

The leader of the devil detachment resolutely shouted "kill and give" and ordered the detachment to open fire before the enemy, and the light machine gun bullets and rifle bullets accurately fell on the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, and the bullets made a grinding sound and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

Li Daxiao never dreamed that the Japanese army was going to fight the Japanese army with an iron turtle shell, what kind of thing was this going to do?

In Li Daxiao's imagination, only the imperial army had an iron turtle shell, not to mention the Eighth Route Army, and the 29th Army of Chief Song did not have it! If the 29th Army had such an iron turtle shell, could Little Japan still occupy the Dragon King Temple?

Thinking about it, Li Daxiao, who was born as a gangster, knew that if he didn't escape at this time, he would never have a chance to escape, so he immediately rolled and rolled down to the Wei River.

There are only twenty or thirty people in the security team of Longwang Temple, all of whom are as good as Li Daxiao, all of whom are lazy and lazy, or bandits. Everyone has the same mind as Li Daxiao, he has moved, and everyone else has fled, all of them have the same idea: If you don't run away at this time, when will you stay?

The leader of the devil detachment, who was directing the detachment to shoot at the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, was already desperate and knew that he was going to die by the Wei River. Seeing that Li Daxiao's security team was about to escape, he was annoyed and couldn't care about fighting the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, so he immediately ordered the machine gun bridge to turn the muzzle and sweep towards Li Daxiao's security team members.

Li Daxiao in Longwangmiao Town, Li Daxiao, who followed the little devil's ass every day to show off his might, did not die under the guns of the Eighth Route Army, but died under the guns of the Japanese army!

Without waiting for the little devil's machine gun to turn its muzzle again, the machine gun on the armored vehicle of the Eighth Route Army fired, gurgling, clicking, and the bullets flew towards the little devil.

The devil's troops were too small, and the east bank of the Wei River was only a detachment of 13 people stationed in the Longwang Temple, and they couldn't even roll up a wave, so they were drowned in the rain of bullets and machine guns on the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army.

The armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army roared, and one after another drove across the Weihe Bridge to the west bank of the Weihe!

The same scene happened, and the puppet soldiers of the puppet daimyo's pacification team were frightened by the mighty Eighth Route Army convoy and began to scatter and flee for their lives. It's just that their lives are not good, and before the little devils shoot them, the machine guns on the armored vehicles and cars of the Eighth Route Army chase their backs and beat them fiercely. Who made them traitors!

Xiao Siming, who took control of the Weihe Bridge and got off the car, immediately ordered a battalion of the second **** to continue north by car to control the Zhanghe Bridge; order the other cars to turn around and return to pick up the troops; A regiment, an infantry artillery battalion, a rapid-fire artillery battery, and a heavy machine gun battalion built fortifications on the spot and prepared to meet the Japanese reinforcements!

What Xiao Siming didn't expect was that the imaginary fierce battle of Weihe did not happen, and the Japanese army did not rush to Weihe Bridge until all the troops of the eastward advance detachment passed the Weihe Bridge and the cavalry battalion was rebuilt.

The reason is that the words of Admiral Kantaro Suzuki, the chief of staff of the Emperor's Chamberlain, made Vice Admiral Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff of the North China Front, speechless, "Can it be blocked!" ”

The main force of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade has been annihilated, and if the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade and the Nara Detachment are allowed to reinforce the daimyo and block the Weihe Bridge, it will also be extremely risky! Because it was night, the Japanese army's air superiority was gone, and the independent mixed 3rd Brigade and the Nara detachment had limited vehicles, so it was impossible to transport the entire force, only a part of the troops. If one infantry brigade and two infantry brigades were transported, and the reinforcements would be fighting at night, and the target of the headlights would be so obvious, wouldn't it be to give Xiao Siming instructions to ambush the target!

Although Terauchi Shouichi is bent on eliminating Xiao Siming, Admiral Kantaro Suzuki is the chief of staff of the Emperor, and his opinion Terauchi Shouichi must still be listened to! In addition, Terauchi Shouichi and Okabe Naosaburo were indeed hurt, and they knew that they could no longer let the independent mixed into the 3rd Brigade and the Nara detachment go on adventures. Because it was night, the advantages of the Japanese army could not be brought into play, but the Eighth Route Army was able to ambush with impunity. Ambush warfare, that in itself, is prepared to fight unprepared, and cannot be inferred by common sense.

As a result, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade and the Nara Detachment were canceled from the order to urgently reinforce the daimyo, and Xiao Si understood that he had built a position by the Wei River!
