Chapter 62: Friendly Forces Appear
The brigade headquarters led by Mitsuru Ushijima followed behind the 23rd Wing. General Ushijima also cherished the lives of his soldiers. As soon as the Okamoto townsman in front called, the commander of the Ushijima Brigade immediately sent two sapper minesweeping teams, afraid that one would not be enough!
With the sapper minesweeper, the safety is safe, but the speed of the pursuit has dropped significantly. Seeing that the Chinese army in front of him was retreating more and more easily, Okamoto almost dropped the telescope.
How wide can the trail be? At most, it's enough for three people to walk side by side. Marching on this kind of path, the 23rd Wing put on a long snake formation! There are still large areas of wasteland on both sides of the road, although it doesn't seem to be easy to walk, but his wing is all infantry, and the soldiers' two-legged cross-country ability should still be relatively strong, right?
It should be said that Okamoto Daisa's mind is still relatively flexible, and he can think of creative ideas like this. It's just that the idea is good, but the reality is always cruel. Okamoto seemed to have forgotten that his soldiers were on the side of the road not far behind him, and they had suffered the same losses. Probably Dazuo thought of a famous Chinese saying: Good horses don't eat back grass, right? Dazuo originally thought that the Chinese army had already used the same strategy once, so how could it be used a second time?
Unfortunately, the 23rd Wing encountered Gao Quan and his 500th Division today. Gao Quan himself is a person who often does not play cards according to the rules, plus the two main commanders on the battlefield now, and his usual behavior is even more different from ordinary people, so any situation on this battlefield is within the normal range.
Arrange the trap, this is Gao Quan's idea. Because of this thing, it can be adapted to local conditions and local materials. Just two sharpened branches can be made into a simple trap for animal hunting. And the two regiment commanders, Jin Feilong and Huang Sanpao, are naturally proficient in this kind of business. Although these two men brought from the mountain have sacrificed a lot in previous battles, the backbone is still there! It's not a problem to make some rudimentary trap clips.
The spirit of learning of our people has always amazed all people in the world. After a brief explanation and demonstration by the backbone members of the two teams, a large number of masters of making animal traps immediately emerged in the two teams. The enthusiasm for making animal traps was unprecedentedly high in these two regiments of the 500 Division.
The result is that it is out of control. During the lurking waiting time before the battle, the soldiers of the 500th Brigade made a large number of improvised traps, which filled almost both sides of the road.
The two pursuit squadrons sent out by Okamoto Townsman, after being besieged by endless traps, had to return to the road, and honestly waited for the sappers to clear the mines.
The sappers swept the minesweeper a little, and the devils walked forward a little. Gao Quan didn't have so many mines in his hands, and even if he used grenades to arrange trick mines, he couldn't have covered them all on the same road. Cao Bao led his engineer battalion, that is, to bury a little on the part of the road where the devil was bombed, and then, how far away, bury one, and in the end, simply not bury it.
This trick is a bit damaged, the devil sappers swept the mines forward, swept out more than a dozen along the way, and when they reached the back, they swept dozens of meters without seeing mines, thinking that the minefield had passed, so they notified Okamoto Osa that the minesweeping had been completed. In fact, there is no need for him to say it, Dazuo can't help it for a long time, and now that he has heard that he has finished sweeping the thunder, what else is there to say, rush!
The devils rushed down with a snort, but before they could get out of a hundred meters, "Boom! With a sound, the mud and sand splashed, and the devil who ran the fastest was immediately blown away!
"Yaga!" Okamoto Osa was really angry, grabbed the leader of the sapper squad, smoked four big ear scrapers in a row, and then ordered people to go to mine sweeping again. As a result, I swept it away, and there was still nothing! In order to prevent the evil ** incident just now from happening again, Okamoto Zhenchen was also ruthless, what did he say this time, and he didn't let his soldiers go to the thunder in front, it would hurt morale too much! In this way, the two mine-sweeping teams took turns to go into battle, sweeping mines all the way, chasing all the way, slow down, or safe production is the most important.
The devils swept the mines behind, and the troops of the 500 Division retreated unhurriedly in front, and from time to time they used mortars to remind the devils, saving the devils from being too involved in sweeping mines and sweeping them, forgetting that they still had the work to pursue.
The two armies chased me all the way down, and slowly walked east from Fulinpu.
In front of him is the stone gate mark, Gao Quan has already arranged an ambush here, and he is ready to use the terrain here to give the Devil Niudao detachment a blow to the head.
What is staring at the Ushijima detachment is not only the 500 Division, but also the 195th Division. It's just that the 500th Division has been entangled with the Ushijima detachment, and the 195th Division is like a fierce beast that chooses people to devour, quietly lurking beside it, ready to pounce at any time and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
Gao Quan led his troops to retreat to Shimenchen, and Wang Dazhu of the 20th Brigade came to report, reporting such news: The 195th Division had already arranged an ambush position in Shimenchen.
"Isn't Shimenji our ambush position? What did he want to do? Stealing business is not this robbery, right? ”
Gao Quan really disagreed with Master Qin's behavior. It's just that everyone has a part in fighting devils, and people are willing to make a contribution on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, so you can't raise any objections to this, right?
The courage to resist Japan is always much better than running away when you see a devil. What's more, the Ushijima detachment is not a soft persimmon at the mercy of others, if you really want to use brute force and resist head-on, Gao Quan will not dare to say that his 500 division is a sure victory, at this juncture, someone is willing to take the initiative to help, it is not a bad thing!
Since the 195th Division had made contact with the 201 Brigade, Gao Quan entrusted the matter of negotiating with Qin Yizhi's division commander to Wang Dazhu. Wang Dazhu was appointed as the plenipotentiary representative of the 500th Division, and the 195th Division discussed a specific charter on the issue of the coordination of the two armies, and finalized the areas of responsibility of the two divisions so that they could work together to deal with the Ushijima detachment.
Since Ushijima Mitsuru has made a name for himself in the Sixth Division, of course he is not a mediocre and incompetent person, just to say that this old devil led his detachment and sent a cavalry brigade out to act as a scout on the march is enough to show that this guy is thoughtful.
The devil's cavalry brigade, plus the reconnaissance planes that hover in the sky from time to time, and the 20,000 or 30,000 people of the 195th and 500th divisions gathered here in Shimenji, if they are not discovered, then it can only be said that the pilots of the devil's reconnaissance planes are blind, and those hundreds of cavalrymen are all idiots.
Hearing that tens of thousands of national troops were waiting for him in front, Ushijima Mitsuru immediately made a countermeasure. First of all, he narrowed the distance between his detachment and the 23rd Wing, and the devils in front and behind were almost connected, and secondly, the old devil of Ushijima took advantage of his position to ask the aviation to take off and escort him with bombers!
