readx; "Hit? What to fight? Squad leader Wang Feng asked rhetorically: "We only have a total of ten rifles here, plus a light machine gun and my submachine gun, which is not enough to stuff the enemy's teeth!" Then he said: "The order given to us by the battalion headquarters is to monitor the enemy's movements, and we are not allowed to block the attack, so don't do much!" ”

"But it's too unreasonable to just let them go like this, we're soldiers!" Lu Yishan, who asked the question first, said dissatisfiedly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"A soldier's duty is to obey, and you still know that you are a soldier!" Wang Feng teased, and then ordered the soldiers: "Everyone go down the mountain quickly and report back to the battalion headquarters!" Then he jumped to the ground with a thud.

After they all went to the ground, a soldier who was a little older proposed: "Lao Wang, this kid Ah Shan has good marksmanship, you just let him scare the little devil, it's better than addiction, just these few people, it doesn't matter if you expose the target, as long as you can run away." Then he squeezed his eyes at Lu Yishan.

"You fucking like to make trouble!" Wang Feng scolded with a smile, and then said to Lu Yishan: "I'll give you a chance, if you can't hit, Lao Tzu will beat your ass when you go back!" Seeing Lu Yishan confidently pick up his rifle, he added: "Only one shot is allowed!" ”

"No problem!" Lu Yishan replied in a relaxed tone, then simply loaded the magazine and lowered his head into the woods, while the others hurriedly climbed to the treetops again, waiting to see a good show.

The vanguard of the Yue army first divided its troops to occupy all the commanding heights nearby, and the rest of the troops searched forward along the mountain path, and soon advanced to the foot of the hill where the Chinese soldiers were hiding. The well-trained Kwantung Army immediately lay down on the ground and returned fire, and a dense barrage of bullets immediately covered the woods on the hillside.

"Ahsan!" After Wang Feng jumped to the ground, he immediately shouted at the woods, and with a sound of branches and leaves, Lu Yishan came out with a smile.

Wang Feng hurriedly said: "These devils seem to be very unusual, let's withdraw quickly!" Then he took the lead and walked behind the mountain.

As soon as they walked down the hill, the Kwantung Army at the foot of the mountain fanned outflank, and at the same time, about a small group of soldiers cut back at full speed from the path, ready to cut off the opponent's rear road.

The soldiers did not expect the movement of the Yue army to be so fast, and as soon as they walked on a simple country road, dozens of Yue soldiers rushed down from the mountain and followed the route they had just taken. Lu Yishan, who was walking at the end of the team, inadvertently looked back, and found that the branches behind him were shaking, and he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone run, the devil is catching up!" ”

Before they had run five hundred meters along the road, there was a chaotic burst of gunfire from behind, and several bullets immediately hit the fighters more than ten meters behind, forcing them to move forward at full speed.

Lu Yishan turned back as he ran, only to see about 30 Yue soldiers chasing after him, and in more places, more and more Yue soldiers came out of the woods.

At this time, a ditch four or five meters wide appeared in front of it, and the road turned a bend here, and after crossing the ditch, it extended into the distance from the opposite woods. After Lu Yishan crossed the bridge, he did not continue to move forward, but flashed behind a big tree on the side of the road, took off his rifle, calmed down his mood by checking the ammunition, and then tried to adjust his breathing and quietly poked his head out: dozens of soldiers were stretched in a long straight line on the road, and the distance between the soldiers in the front and the small bridge was less than 50 meters away, and the soldiers at the back were still 100 meters away.

Lu Yishan stared intently at the soldiers in the front, and when he just ran to the middle of the bridge, a stride flashed out from behind the tree, and raised his hand to shoot! The rifle in the soldier's hand flew straight forward, then lunged forward a few steps and fell limply. The front foot of the army in the back stepped on the bridge, and he saw his companion in front of him fall, hurriedly squatted back, stopped, and then quickly raised the rifle, but before he could aim, the opponent's gun went off, and a small black hole appeared in the left chest, and then gradually expanded on the earthy yellow military uniform, and the rifle also fell to the ground. The soldier slowly collapsed on the bridge with an expression of disbelief, his right hand unbuttoning his shirt unconsciously, groping effortlessly towards his chest, and finally slowly stopped.

"Ping Pong" fired two gunshots in a row, and the two soldiers who boarded the bridge side by side were shot and fell to the ground almost at the same time, and a short soldier was exposed from behind them, and shot in front of Lu Yishan!

Lu Yishan felt as if his shoulder had been hit by a hammer, and he threw it back, and the rifle immediately drooped, and then from the wound came a sharp pain, he hurriedly rolled to the side of the road, fell to the ground, and a bullet flew past where he had just stood.

Lu Yishan climbed a few steps, put the rifle on a stone, and fired two shots at the bridgehead, but the cunning Yue Jun was already lying on the bridge deck, waiting for him to reveal his position.

More than a dozen soldiers arrived one after another, and immediately took turns shooting at Lu Yishan's hiding place, so that he couldn't lift his head, so he could only bury his head and shoot back indiscriminately, and the bullets fired out were not even accurate at all. The army took the opportunity to cross the small bridge and slowly approached from both sides of the road, the rifles in their hands still firing continuously.

Suddenly, the sound of light machine gun fire was heard from the front, and the bullets made shallow craters on the road, and the soldiers hurriedly rolled into the woods -- it turned out that after Wang Feng and the others had run for a while, they suddenly found that Ah Shan had not followed, and when they heard the continuous sound of gunfire coming from behind, they returned to answer.

Lu Yishan took the opportunity to throw a grenade at the army, and then ran backwards from the woods under the cover of smoke, and continued to retreat to the battalion headquarters after meeting with his comrades.

Because the army could not find out the reality of the other party, it had to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive before continuing to advance, but it had already lost the trace of the [***] team.

After the imposing Kwantung Army landed, it immediately divided its troops into two routes in accordance with the established tactics and advanced towards Taipei and Tainan, preparing to cut the central [***] team into two sections, and then divide and surround it with the cooperation of the defenders of Kaohsiung and Keelung. It is said that the headquarters and the army have a fanatical hobby of conquering terrain targets, and take it for granted that the Chinese [***] team will rely on the cities of Taichung, Chiayi, Hsinchu and Tainan to rely on strong fortifications to fight a decisive battle with them, but when they advanced along the highway into the above cities at high speed, they did not encounter the expected fierce resistance, only some platoon units attacked, and most of them fought and left, never fell in love with the battle, and completely abandoned the city.

After the punch was missed, the army immediately found that the [***] team had retreated to the central mountain range in the east and held the danger, so they hurriedly marched eastward, preparing to encircle and annihilate the opponent in the mountainous area, and focused the attack on the Alishan area, because according to the reconnaissance of the intelligence officers, the main force and material reserve center of the [***] team were here. In order to prevent the squadron from penetrating out of its own encirclement, a brigade of the Eighth Division took the initiative to attack eastward, joining up with the first part of the Marine Corps that refused to defend Hualien, and closing the encirclement, while the other brigade divided its troops to defend several major cities in the west, and the first division divided its troops into separate routes and attacked Alishan.

Shaping is 30 kilometers away from Zhushan County in the east and more than 20 kilometers away from Xinyi in the south, just located on the highway from Zhushan to Xinyi, which is the only way for the army to surround Alishan from the north. The length of the road in the village is about six or seven hundred meters, and there are two sharp turns, and finally through a stone bridge in the east of the village out of the village, the stone bridge is about five meters wide and forty meters long, under the bridge is the stream that continues in all seasons, because after the summer every year, the typhoon will bring a lot of rain, causing the stream to surge, so the residents of the village in order to prevent floods, have built embankments several meters high on both sides of the river, and the houses are also built on higher ground. Due to the terrain, any vehicles passing here had to slow down, and the high embankments and houses constituted a good ambush position, so Ding Changjian decided to give the famous Kwantung Army a dismount here.

After selecting the ambush site, Ding Chang immediately transferred all the hundreds of Gaoshan households in the village, and sent a battalion to set up an ambush in the village, with one battalion blocking the attack at the bridgehead, another battalion laying an ambush at the place where the village was entered, and the artillery battalion was on the hillside one kilometer away from the village to provide fire support at any time. In order to block the reinforcements of the Yue army, the troops of a regiment went forward to the outskirts of Zhushan County and lurked to closely monitor the movements of the Yue army in the city. In order to facilitate the command of the troops, Ding Changjian set up his headquarters on an artillery position, and an infantry regiment and antiaircraft artillery battalion as a reserve were also hidden here.

On 15 December, at 8 a.m., three reconnaissance planes of the Chinese army swept over Shaping and flew in the direction of Xinyi, and 10 minutes later flew over the village at an altitude of only 100 meters above the ground.

At about 10 a.m., a volley of vehicles appeared in the field of view of the ambush troops, with a dozen three-wheeled motorcycles in the front, dozens of trucks full of soldiers in the middle, several trucks at the rear of the platoon towing heavy artillery, and boxes of ammunition piled up in the compartments. Two light machine guns were mounted on the cockpit of each truck, and the machine gunners were very cautious and kept looking around.

At the entrance of the village, more than a dozen villagers specially arranged by the [***] team walked back and forth between the houses, and dozens of chickens pecked on the ground, paralyzing the army with this picture of peaceful rural life.

After the convoy entered the village, it slowed down at the first turn and moved unhurriedly towards the second turn, and more than a dozen motorcycles passed the second turn smoothly, and then sped up to the stone bridge, at this time, a truck in front had just reached the turn.

With an earth-shattering bang, hundreds of kilograms of explosives exploded violently, and the truck turned into a dazzling ball of light in an instant, and then scattered into dots of debris, and the wreckage ignited in the middle of the road.

At the same time, more than 100 grenades flew out from both sides of the road, some landed directly on the cars, some landed on the side of the road, and in the sound of explosions one after another, seven or eight more trucks caught fire and burned, and the sky over the village was suddenly covered with thick smoke. The motorcycle in front had just rushed to the middle of the stone bridge, and after hearing the explosion, it was about to slow down, when a miniature grenade hit the front of the car accurately, and the three soldiers and the motorcycle were immediately blown into pieces, and then, the grenades hit one after another, and the motorcycles in front of them exploded in a volley, and the motorcycles behind saw that the situation was not good, and they hurriedly turned around, and before they could drive far, they were reimbursed by the grenades falling from the sky.

At this time, the machine guns on the roof of the truck roared, and the well-trained shooters aimed at the houses and embankments on both sides of the road to buy time for the soldiers on the trucks. The last few trucks hurriedly turned and rushed down the road, dragging their cannons between the houses in a vain attempt to escape back to the road outside the village, but the soldiers who were lying in ambush in the village immediately attacked them with gun-grenades and grenades, completely destroying them.

More than a dozen shells landed near the road, blowing the stubborn Japanese troops around them to pieces, and the rest of the Japanese army realized that the general situation had turned, so they rushed to the entrance of the village under the command of an officer wielding a war knife.

Light and heavy machine guns placed on the foundations of the houses and the embankment hill joined the attack, covering the infantry to launch a charge, and countless figures rushed out of the village, shouting in unison to kill the enemy, and the troops placed on both sides of the village also attacked at the same time, pressing the Japanese army from all sides.

The tsunami-like shouts of killing and the dense bullets like locusts completely destroyed the will of the army, and nearly 1,000 soldiers who had been firmly gathered around the officers immediately scattered and fled in all directions, some jumped directly into the ditch next to the highway, and under the cover of the ditch wall, ran wildly in the knee-deep stream, and some ran directly to the grave in the middle of the field, using natural fortifications to resist. About 200 fierce Japanese soldiers, under the command of the officers, rushed into the courtyard of a house on the side of the road, and then mounted two heavy machine guns at the gate of the courtyard and fired fiercely at the pursuing squadron.

More than a dozen soldiers fell outside the courtyard gate, and the first attack was declared a failure, and the attacking troops hurriedly hid and fired at the Japanese army, and then called for artillery support. After the first round of shelling, the courtyard wall was blown open a gap several meters wide, and the attacking troops began to slam into it with grenades, and then two shells accurately smashed on the roof, and then fell through the hole, blowing up several houses.

The soldiers rushed forward from all directions of the courtyard, and the weapons in their hands kept hitting a large number of bullets at the hiding place of the Yue army, and the stubborn Yue army was killed one after another, and finally, the officer of the Yue army, whose face was cut off by shrapnel, suddenly jumped up from the middle of the ruins with his sword high and rushed towards the Chinese soldier at the front.

The muzzle of the "ping-pong" gun jumped violently, and a bloody hole appeared in the officer's chest, and his body shook for a moment, and then he let out a near-death howl, and rushed over with all the strength of his body.

Looking at the hideous face of the other party, the soldier panicked, connected and pulled the trigger, and the bullets continued to hit the officer of the Yue Army, but the bloodied Yue Jun was still approaching him as if it was beaten with iron, and the blade stained with blood immediately appeared in front of him. The soldier subconsciously pulled the trigger again, but there was an empty feeling on his fingers: the bullets had run out!

The officer of the army rushed to the front with a smirk, and used all his strength to tear down the sword, but the young soldier stood in a daze, forgetting to dodge.

The sound of the butt of the gun hitting the ** suddenly sounded in front of him, and the officer of the army fell straight down like a felled tree, and the last strength in his body smashed the butt of the gun together with his life!

The squad leader gently patted the soldier who was still in a daze, and comforted: "This kind of paper tiger, just give him a rifle butt, there is no need to waste bullets!" ”

At the same time, the fighting outside the village was coming to an end, and dozens of soldiers gathered inside the mound resisted for more than ten minutes before being blown to pieces by mortar shells. The Yue soldiers who escaped from the ditch were lucky, because the Chinese soldiers on the shore had no way to aim directly, so they had to jump into the ditch to pursue, but after all, it was too late, and only a few Yue soldiers who were left behind were killed, and the remaining 20 or so Yue soldiers ran to the villages downstream.

The Yue army, who fled in a hurry, rushed out two kilometers away in one breath, and did not dare to stop until they could no longer see the figure of the Chinese soldiers. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen black shadows jumped down from the ditch wall, and the machetes flew up and down, and soon all the soldiers of the Yue army were hacked to death in the ditch. The mountain people of the Gaoshan tribe happily picked up their guns and ammunition, then climbed the ditch wall and ran along the road to the upper Shaping, ready to ask the troops for credit.

In this ambush battle, Ding Changjian mobilized nearly a division of troops, and it only took more than an hour to completely annihilate an infantry brigade and an artillery squad of the Yue Army, seriously weakening the strength of the Northern Route Army and weakening its encirclement.

Because the attack happened very suddenly, the army was completely annihilated before it could send a distress signal, and the Zhushan army did not realize that there might be a problem with its vanguard in the afternoon, and hurriedly asked the reconnaissance plane to dispatch, and then sent an infantry wing to search and advance, while the defenders in Zhushan County only had two infantry brigades, which once again exposed their weakness.

Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Yihong, commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division of the Taiwan Legion, was originally the major battalion commander of Zhong Wu's 26th Division, and participated in almost all the major battles of the Ninth Army Corps.
