Chapter 9 Changes
The real ambush was Li Zhongyun's sharpshooter team, and 15 of them were scattered and ambushed in the rocky hill opposite the high ground, that is, behind the flank of Koizumi's troops, and kept a distance of about 200 meters from Koizumi's troops. This distance is just the limit shooting distance made by Hanyang, and if it is farther, it will be difficult to ensure the accuracy of shooting.
Li Zhongyun's sharpshooter team moved very neatly, and under the cover of the sound of explosions, most of them fired three bullets, and some of them also fired two, if it weren't for the long distance and poor shooting vision, they could have killed at least thirty or forty people. Rao is like this, and his results are brilliant enough, more than ten of them were knocked down, and at the same time, the little Japanese crying father and mother were also blown up on the high ground, and less than half of the whole arm and leg were withdrawn.
In the six and a half hours from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 30 young Japanese were killed, more than 40 were wounded, and more than 10 percent of their troops were attrition in direct combat.
It was a great shame for Koizumi Masao to pay such heavy casualties and not even touch the enemy's ass, and he said to himself that it was time to calm down, that he had to change his tactics and not follow the rhythm of his opponent.
So, can Masao Koizumi really calm down?
As a leader among the young officers of the Japanese army, Masao Koizumi has his own uniqueness, and he can really achieve a state of calming down.
But this calmness is only one manifestation of his already madness. Because, if he really calmed down, he should be able to realize that the target of his raid this time was not Ye Tufei, but Jia Jiawang. However, Koizumi Masao still threw Jia Jiawang to the back of his mind, and was bent on eating Ye Tufei.
In other words, in terms of tactical changes, Koizumi can calm down, but in terms of strategic goals, he has already lost himself.
The tactical change that Koizumi finally made was to abandon the strategic plan of targeting Ye Tufei's troops and rapidly advance the whole army in the direction of Jiajiawang.
This decision was completely correct for the Japanese army, and it returned to the essence of the problem. If this is the case, then Ye Tufei will be a complete failure. However, Xiao Quan's original intention in making this tactical adjustment was not that he was really sober, he just wanted to borrow Jia Jiawang to force Ye Tufei to show up.
It was a tactical decision to put the cart before the horse.
This decision was beyond Ye Tufei's expectations.
From another point of view, Ye Tufei underestimated the enemy, and he underestimated Koizumi Masao's tactical command ability.
When the dark sentry reported the movements of the Japanese soldiers to Ye Tufei, Ye Tufei was startled at first, and then fell into deep thought. He was judging the true significance of Koizumi's move. Is his whole plan not working for Masao Koizumi at all? Or did Masao Koizumi suddenly calm down and remember his true mission? Or is this just a trick by Masao Koizumi? Ye Tufei couldn't make a correct judgment for a while.
In front of this three-choice question, Ye Tufei's most preferred answer was C, but he was still hesitating.
The reason for the hesitation is not because Ye Tufei is indecisive, his past combat experience can prove that he is a person who dares to do things and dare to risk all his net worth and life.
The reason he hesitated was simply because he still had time to hesitate.
But Zhang Luohui couldn't hold back, he thought that he must respond quickly, and he must not let Koizumi Masao pass Erlang Mountain smoothly, "Sixth Master, we can't hesitate, if we hesitate, we will be too late!" ”
Under the stone pavilion, Ye Tufei was still sitting upright, playing with a new cigar in his hand, deaf to Zhang Luohui's request.
Zhang Luohui was anxious, and released a cruel word at Ye Tufei: "You don't dare to do it, I'll do it myself!" It's a big deal, and it's just a matter of ending up with little Japan. ”
Ye Tufei still sat upright, ignoring Zhang Luohui.
Zhang Luohui faced Ye Tufei, who had been silent, stomped his foot suddenly, turned around and left, he wanted to gather his troops and use his flesh and blood to block the steel torrent of Little Japan.
Ye Tufei did not stop him.
After the battle ended, one day, Ye Tufei and Zhang Luohui drank together, Zhang Luohui talked about the original battle of Erlang Mountain, Zhang Luohui regretted that he did not follow Ye Tufei's instructions and took unilateral actions, and blamed Ye Tufei with the strength of wine: "Why did you ignore me at that time?" You should have pulled me down, even if someone tied me up, or even killed me, it would be better than the current result! ”
Ye Tufei still ignored Zhang Luohui's blame, but he finally got drunk that day, which was the first time in his life and the last time he was drunk.
Seven years later, Zhang Luohui led his troops to cooperate with Ye Tufei's department, and during the battle, when Zhang Luohui was seriously injured and was about to die, Ye Tufei talked about why he didn't dissuade Zhang Luohui in the first battle of Erlang Mountain, Ye Tufei explained that he thought that Zhang Luohui didn't dare to fight to the death with Little Japan at all.
This is one of the few mistakes Ye Tufei has made in his life.
Zhang Luohui quickly assembled his team, loaded his bayonet with his gun, and rushed to Little Japan, which was marching towards Jiajiawang.
It's an encounter. Koizumi Masao did not have time to prepare for artillery fire, so he could only meet him with an infantry squadron, and the two sides soon developed into a white-knuckle battle. The sound of fighting, shouting, and screaming before death resounded throughout the valley, and at the same time woke up Ye Tufei.
"What a fucking thing with big limbs and a simple mind!" Ye Tufei burst into a foul mouth angrily, "Boss Feng, take your assault team to attack from the front and relieve the pressure of that stunned man!" Fourth, you immediately snipe at the little Japan that surrounded that stunned man, and cover Boss Feng's impact! Old Five, use all the gadgets you have in your hands, and call on those little Japan who are ready to come up for reinforcements at any time, and cut off their contact! ”
The three generals were ordered to leave.
Three minutes later, the sky was full of bombs/bombs and grenades flew towards the Japanese camp.
At the same time, Feng Zhongliang's assault team poured down from Phoenix Ridge and pounced on the Japanese army who were fighting with Zhang Luohui's troops.
Li Zhongyun's sharpshooter team also entered the sniper position, constantly sniping at dangerous targets along Feng Zhongliang's assault line.
Under the triple action, the Japanese army's encirclement of Zhang Luohui's troops was loosened. Under Feng Zhongliang's response, Zhang Luohui's troops finally tore a hole in the encirclement of Little Japan and joined Feng Zhongliang's assault team.
"Evacuate quickly to the top of the phoenix!" Ye Tufei gave an order to Feng Zhongliang and the sharpshooter team in flags from the commanding heights.
From the hand-to-hand combat battlefield through the Phoenix Ridge to the Phoenix Peak, the distance is only about 400 meters.
However, it was this distance of 400 meters that formed a line of life and death under the Japanese machine-gun blockade and artillery attack.
The brethren of Li Zhongyun's spear team were closest to Phoenix Peak, and they withdrew with almost no casualties.
Feng Zhongliang's assault team was familiar with the terrain, and although it started at the same time as Zhang Luohui's troops, it was divided into fast and slow as soon as it ran, and at the cost of more than 20 lives, it also successfully retreated.
The tragic one was Zhang Luohui's troops, with 240 brothers attacking, about 150 of them were surrounded, and less than 50 of them retreated to the top of the phoenix.
Masao Koizumi finally pulled one back.
In this game alone, it took a great advantage in the total loss of troops. In total, the Chungyi Tang and the 258th Regiment lost more than 200 brothers, and the total casualties of the Japanese army were less than three digits.
This is the real comparison of strength.
In any war, in the initial stage, tactics can play a great role, but in the end, it is the strength of the two sides that is compared.
Because of Zhang Luohui's impulsiveness, the main force of Zhongyitang and the 258th Regiment was finally exposed to the Japanese army, and once it was exposed, it could no longer be hidden, and Koizumi Masao was absolutely unwilling to lose this opportunity.
On top of the phoenix, Ye Tufei looked at Zhang Luohui, who was bloodied and exhausted, without reproach or comfort.
Guo Zhonglin, beside him, reminded Ye Tufei and said: "Sixth Master, although this phoenix top is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the retreat from the back mountain is blocked by Little Japan, then it will become a dead place." Sixth Master, let's withdraw quickly! ”
Ye Tufei shook his head and said, "It's too late, even if Little Japan hasn't blocked our retreat now, we won't have time to retreat." ”
Guo Zhonglin was puzzled and asked, "Sixth Master, why is this?" ”
Ye Tufei pointed to the retreat path in the back mountain and said: "As long as we go down from here, we will be firmly bitten by Little Japan, brother, our two legs can't outrun Little Japan's bullets and shells, in that case, the casualties will only be greater." ”
Zhang Luohui regained some strength, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay like this, maybe we will be sacrificed and Jia Jiawang will be saved." ”
Guo Zhonglin hurriedly spat three times and said, "You were a crow in your last life, how can you say such unlucky words?" ”
Zhang Luohui laughed miserably and said, "What's wrong with being auspicious or unlucky?" Do you think we'll make it down alive? ”
Ye Tufei suddenly said: "Yes! As long as my memory is correct, we will be able to make it down alive. ”
Guo Zhonglin smashed a freshly wet towel in his hand at Zhang Luohui and said, "Let's just say that you are a crow's mouth, right?" Still don't admit it? Let's tell you, as long as the sixth master is here, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed! ”
Zhang Luohui took the wet towel, wiped it a few times, and said to Ye Tufei: "Sixth Master, what do you remember?" Will we really make it down alive? ”
Ye Tufei held his head in his hands at this time and slowly squatted down, with a painful expression on his face.
Guo Zhonglin hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said with concern: "Sixth Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ye Tufei gritted his teeth, pounded his head hard, and muttered: "I don't know, I don't know, my brain is too messy, I need to be quiet!" ”
Half a minute later, Ye Tufei returned to normal, and he asked Guo Zhonglin, "Is today the Qingming Festival?" ”
Guo Zhonglin replied: "Yes, Sixth Master! ”
Ye Tufei sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, General Li Zongren will launch a general attack on the enemy in Taierzhuang in the early hours of tomorrow morning, and the Japanese army is already in decline and is unable to fight again. I believe that as long as we can survive the early hours of tomorrow, the little Japan under the mountain will definitely receive the order to withdraw its troops! ”
