Xiao Siming originally planned to march east after 5 days of training in Shiguai Town, but he didn't expect that the 16th Division of the Japanese Army also arrived in Shouyang City, and went south overnight to reoccupy Lujiazhuang, Yangtouya, and Xiluo Town, and then drove the Japanese Army's Independent Mixed 3rd Brigade, Independent Mixed 4th Brigade and 109th Division gathered in Shouyang City to redeploy the troops in Shouyang, carry out a heavy sweep of the southern base area of Shouyang, and threaten Shiguai Town, the anti-Japanese capital of Jinzhong, not to mention that the 16th Division also tried to capture Heshun County and open up the Pingliao Highway!

Let the little devil mix this, Xiao Siming's chest ignited a raging fighting intent, and he was going to take the 16th Division of the little devil who had committed heinous crimes in Nanjing City!

Due to the fact that the eastward advance brigade had taken a short break to Shiguai Town, the Japanese army had already pounced on the mountainous base area in southern Shouyang, and neither the headquarters nor the 129th Division had given them a combat mission. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info, including the Jinzhong Special Committee and the Qin Lai Detachment, did not ask the eastward advance brigade to assist in the operation, but only reported the enemy situation and asked them to make preparations for counter-sweeping. That means let them move quickly and move eastward!

After the 344th Brigade returned from Shouyang City to transport supplies, it had already been ordered to move and prepare to move closer to the 343rd Brigade to participate in the defense of the Yellow River crossing. It should still be on the way to transfer. The fifth detachment was in the southeast of Shanxi at this time, and it was definitely going to be engaged in anti-sweeping operations.

After calculating it, the Japanese army swept the base area in the Shounan Mountains, except for the newly established Qinlai detachment, there was no main force of the Eighth Route Army in this area to meet the enemy!

In this case, wouldn't the little devil be like a no-man's land and could walk sideways?

When Xiao Siming decided to take the 16th Division, he didn't know how large the strength of the 16th Division transferred to Shouyang was, but he knew one thing, that is, the 16th Division was still undertaking the garrison tasks of Gaoyi, Anyang, Puxian, and Linqing, and was carrying out sweeping operations in these places, and the troops drawn would not be too much. In the past, the 16th Division would have been able to transfer an infantry brigade to help the 109th Division recapture Shouyang. Now the situation is different, after Xiao Siming's battle of Yuxian, the battle of Nianzigou blockade, the battle of the stone measuring station, the battle of destroying Taiyuan Airport, and the battle of attacking and occupying Shouyang County, the little devil will not be so careless, and he will not dare to be so crazy, the troops drawn by the 16th Division should be at least an infantry wing, maybe there will be cavalry and artillery strengthened!

This is not Xiao Siming's imagination, because the independent mixed brigade that the Japanese army may be transferred to Shouyang to participate in the battle has insufficient firepower, and it cannot be compared with the 16th Division with a field artillery wing! The devil must consider the problem of the Eighth Route Army holding on to Shouyang City, which requires the use of heavy artillery to participate in the battle. The field artillery wing of the 16th Division was best suited to provide fire cover to the Japanese troops besieging Shouyang City.

Because he was familiar with the temperament of the Japanese army and the combat characteristics of the Japanese army, Xiao Siming decisively decided to lead the main force to the passage leading from Songta to Mafang and Heshun County to set up an ambush and fight the ambush of the little devils!

Xiao Siming judged that the Japanese army was accustomed to outflanking in a roundabout way, and if the troops of the 16th Division really wanted to capture Heshun City and open up the Pingliao Highway, they would definitely send a force from Songta to Heshun City through Mafang. This is all military common sense, with the main attack, the assist, the frontal advance, the flank cover and coordination, and the requirements of the combination of the arrangement and formation.

Not only that, Xiao Siming also judged that the Japanese army that detoured from Songta to Heshun through Mafang would not have many troops, maybe it would be an infantry brigade or a cavalry wing. Because the Japanese army that attacked in a roundabout way wanted speed, there were no reinforced concrete bridges along the river along this road, at most old-fashioned stone bridges and wooden bridges, which were not suitable for cars, tanks, and armored vehicles. The 16th Division has a much higher degree of mechanization than the 109th Division and the 108th Division, and there are many tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles, and it is impossible for large troops to move through this road.

The cavalry of the Japanese army, in particular, may well venture east from this main road! If we can really catch the cavalry units of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, even if it is a squadron, we will solve the problem of the cavalry company's war horses!

Under normal circumstances, the cavalry units of the Japanese army were very delicate, and it was impossible to walk along the mountain road, which should have advanced along the road from Yuci to Xiyang through Shouyang. But Xiao Siming knew that the Japanese permanent division was looking at everything, eager to grab merit, eager to burn and loot, and concluded that the Japanese cavalry would go from this road!

Not to mention, Xiao Siming's judgment is really accurate! After the team set off, they rushed all the way, and halfway through they received a telegram from the reconnaissance squad that was going to Songta to reconnoitre, reporting that an infantry brigade of the Japanese army with hundreds of cavalry was advancing along the main road to Mafang and exchanged fire with the blocking troops of the Qin Lai detachment!

At this moment, Xiao Siming came to the spirit at once, and led the troops straight to Mafang!

After arriving at Mafang, the troops immediately evacuated the crowd and began to set up an ambush.

The reason why the female soldiers of the field ambulance team were allowed to participate in the battle was to capture the Japanese army's war horses!

The advance brigade is still the strength of the former independent battalion when it undertakes combat missions, but its firepower is strong. If there is an ambush, there is no problem at all in cleaning up the Japanese cavalry, not to mention the female soldiers of the field ambulance team, even the baggage team, the engineer team, and the artillery team do not need to participate in the battle! But Xiao Siming wanted the war horses of the Japanese army and didn't dare to use firepower, so he could only take special measures to confuse the Japanese army!

Not only did the female soldiers of the field ambulance team led by Xu Ruping participate in the battle, but Mei Ying also participated in the battle, and even Yan Rou and Xing'er, who acted with the troops, were pulled onto the battlefield by Xiao Siming to confuse the Japanese army.

Not to mention, this group of female soldiers acted well, made great contributions, and pitted an entire cavalry wing of the Japanese army!

If there were no female soldiers of the field ambulance team to participate in the battle, the 20th Cavalry Wing of the little devils would also die miserably, but Xiao Siming also did not want to capture more than 400 war horses completely. Under the light and heavy fire of the advance brigade, it would be good if one-tenth of the horses of the 20th Cavalry Wing could survive!

The cavalry company led a few horses and withdrew with the field ambulance team, and the battle was still going on, and the infantry brigade of the little devils was still behind!

The field ambulance team was supposed to stay on the battlefield to carry out the rescue mission, but Xiao Siming felt that with the firepower of the advance brigade and relying on the favorable terrain to set up an ambush, the casualties of the troops should be negligible, so he ordered the field ambulance team to retreat.

Mei Ying is reluctant to withdraw, but this is a war, and she has to carry out the order unconditionally, and she can't do it if she doesn't withdraw! Therefore, when leaving, Mei Ying deliberately found Xiao Siming, how high his head was, and said to him happily: "I also killed a little devil today, and I am still a cavalry captain!" ”

In front of Wang Lushui and Hu Qingyun, Xiao Siming couldn't be nonsense, let alone move his hands and feet, and he didn't praise Mei Ying, but he just asked for Mei Ying's pistol, opened the magazine and checked it, refilled the bullet, put it into Mei Ying's holster, and then took out a very delicate Browning gold-plated pistol, and took out a box of bullets from the quilt bag and handed it to Mei Ying, telling her that this was just captured from the captain of the 20th Wing of the Japanese Cavalry, Toshimatsu Kasai, and it was definitely a good gun, and it was usually in his pocket. In case of danger, multiple pistols for self-defense have multiple chances to survive!

This is a real concern, and all the care is in the bones!

Where could Mei Ying not know Xiao Siming's intentions, she put the box of bullets into her quilt, her face was radiant, her eyes were rippling, she glanced at Xiao Siming, and followed the cavalry company happily.

Yan Rou and Xing'er also participated in the battle.

The stunning beauty in fashionable casual clothes that Kasai Toshimatsu Nakasa saw in his eyes was Yan Rou.

The beautiful Yan Rou was mobilized by Xiao Siming to participate in the war!

Xiao Siming's idea is very simple, since the devil has harmed the Yan family, and now that he has a chance, he has to let Yan Rou go to the battlefield and let her personally avenge her family!

In the War of Resistance, we have to mobilize more people to participate!

Yan Rou also walked away with the cavalry company, and she rode away on a war horse. This girl, as if she had avenged the Yan family with her own hands, was also full of joy

Time on the battlefield is precious, and while the cavalry battalion retreats with the devil's horses and equipment, the troops of the advance brigade have already begun to drag the corpses of the devil's cavalry from the street to the alley, but the puddles of blood on the ground have no time to cover up with soil, and the air is filled with a thick bloody atmosphere!

The Devil's Infantry Brigade was blocked by the battalion of the Qin Lai detachment in a ravine five or six miles north of Mafang just now. By the time they had crossed the ravine along the road, the impatient 20th Cavalry Wing had already crossed them and pounced on the town of Mafang, where heavy gunfire rang out.

They were all fought on the battlefield, and the devil infantry with rich combat experience knew as soon as they heard it that the gunfire was issued by the Type 96 light machine gun and the 38 big cover that only the Japanese Army had, thinking that the cavalry wing was chasing and killing the Eighth Route Army and the people in the town in Mafang Town, and they didn't care, but they just accelerated the march, and the forward squadron began to run forward!

Although the 16th Division was extremely arrogant, its tactical quality was indeed extremely high. Because he was previously blocked by the Qin Lai detachment of the Eighth Route Army, the little devil was very careful and strictly followed the norms in the Japanese army's infantry drill code, and sent a search detachment on each wing, and the squadrons distanced themselves.

It is a pity that this is the Taihang Mountains, with steep cliffs, which restricts the movement of the Japanese search detachments on both flanks, and if they want to climb the mountain beam and follow the mountain beam to search and advance, they will definitely not be able to keep up with the marching pace of the main force. In the end, the Japanese search detachment could only act as a spearhead in front of the vanguard squadron.

The mountain road bends, the peaks turn around, and when the Japanese search soldiers rushed into Mafang Town, they could only see the pools of dirty blood on the street, and the cavalry wing had long since disappeared.

There was not even the corpse of a war horse on the street, let alone the corpse of the Japanese cavalry, sabers, and cavalry rifles, and only occasionally you could see the Jin-made rifles and earthen guns scattered on the street, needless to say, they were left by the Eighth Route Army that was wiped out by the cavalry wing. What is puzzling is that although there are guns of the Eighth Route Army scattered on the street, there are no corpses of the Eighth Route Army and ordinary people.

The devil search soldiers were puzzled: What is the situation? (To be continued.) )
