"Well done!" Gao Quan's attack applauded, "Since Ziming said so, now I announce that the second column of the Anti-Japanese Decisive Army will officially join the 500 Division Interspersed Detachment!" Gao Quan looked at Zhao Ziming and smiled, "However, Ziming doesn't have to worry, my interspersed detachment is only temporary, after the end of this battle, the interspersed detachment will naturally be disbanded, and Ziming's second column can of course return to its original structure." ”

An interspersed detachment was only built for a battle, and as for why Gao Quan said that he would not disband until the battle was over, he didn't explain, and no one else asked, so the matter was settled.

According to the coordinated combat method discussed by Wang Dazhu and Qin Yizhi, the 23rd Wing was placed under the responsibility of the 195th Division, and the brigade headquarters of Ushijima Man and the troops directly under it were settled by the 500th Division.

Wang Dazhu, Qian Sixi, Zhang Erxiao, now the three brigades are all here. The 201 Brigade and the Independent Brigade arrived one step earlier, had already repaired some blocking positions, and the ambush that should have been prepared for the devils had already been prepared. Now with the addition of Qian Sixi's 500 brigades, the three main brigades, and the direct subordinate team of Ushijima's brigade should not be a big problem. It's just that he still has to consider the casualties and time issues, Gao Quan decided to personally lead the interspersed detachment and go to the front and rear army junctions of the devils to intersperse the battle.

When the devils were on the north bank of the Xinqiang River, since they could combine all the artillery of one division and two detachments and bombard the 52nd Army indiscriminately, why couldn't we? Gao Quan gave an order to the artillery battalion commander Fan Bolin, and all the heavy artillery of the division was unified under his deployment! That is to say, all non-mortar artillery in the three brigades has been under the command of the battalion commander Fan from this time on.

The Ushijima detachment swept the mines, slowly, step by step, stepping into the ambush circle of our army. The arrogant commander of the Ushijima Brigade, knowing that there were tens of thousands of Chinese troops waiting for him in front, still bumped in headlong without stopping.

The first to fire was the 195th Division. Qin Yizhi led his regular troops of the Central Army and launched a fierce attack on the 23rd Wing of the Devils. The 23rd Wing was indeed the elite of the Japanese army, and although it faced an enemy several times its size, it still launched a counter-charge without fear.

The artillery fire of the devils continued to explode on the positions of the 195th Division, and the Japanese planes escorting the Ushijima detachment in the sky were like wild horses and hornets that had been pierced through their nests, diving in line and dropping bombs down like dumplings! There was a sea of fire on the blocking position of our army at Shimenji. The soldiers of the 195th Division withstood the artillery bombardment of the devils and stubbornly blocked the way of the devils.

The 195th Division, which was responsible for blocking the road in the front, had already started, and the 500th Division, which was responsible for cutting off the enemy's rear route, followed closely and entered the battle. Wang Dazhu, Qian Sixi, and Zhang Erxiao each led a brigade to surround the detachment of the old devil on Niudao from three directions.

Ushijima Man's detachment headquarters is actually the 36th Brigade Headquarters, and the so-called detachment headquarters is just a name changed from Ushijima Man's Brigade and Regiment Headquarters. It's just that the 36th Brigade Regiment has lost a 45th Wing, and now there are two more cavalry brigades, a field artillery brigade, and an engineer brigade.

Originally, a regular division of the Central Army like the 195th Division was equipped with a lot of heavy artillery, and compared with the 23rd Wing, it was actually a little stronger. But if you add Ushijima's artillery brigade and the field artillery brigade that Inaba Shiro specially allocated to him, he has two artillery brigades, and this level of artillery is fired at full strength, and Qin Yizhi's artillery battalion is not enough.

In the artillery firing between the two sides, the artillery battalion of the 195th Division suffered a heavy loss. Although they also suffered a lot from the devil's artillery, the artillery battalion of Division Commander Qin was almost wiped out in this confrontation. Fortunately, at this time, the three brigades of the 500th Division launched an attack on Ushijima's detachment headquarters in three directions, forcing Ushijima to quickly adjust the direction of the artillery's attack, which allowed the artillery battalion of the 195th Division to save a few guns at the last moment.

The three main infantry brigades of the 500 Division had all been pressed up, and Gao Quan saw that the time was almost up, and immediately ordered the artillery battalion commander: "Little four, it's your turn!" ”

After Fan Xiaosi said yes, he turned around and ran back to the gun position, personally operated a howitzer, and aimed and fired. The artillery positions of the 500th Division began to roar. One shell after another, they bombarded the junction of the detachment headquarters of the Devil Ushijima Detachment and the 23rd Wing. This is the task that Gao Quan has assigned to Fan Bolin a long time ago, the artillery battalion should concentrate all the heavy artillery of the whole division, and at this critical time, use artillery shells to smash the devil in two.

The three brigades of the 500th Division and the 195th Division of Qin Yizhi blocked the devils here from both ends. If Ushijima didn't want to withdraw his troops in defeat, he would have to bear the siege of two divisions of the Chinese army here and choose one direction to attack. Retreat backwards and return the way you came? This may be a good choice, but it is clear that General Ushijima will not take this path. Retreat, for a guy as arrogant as Mitsuru Ushijima, it's a symbol of shame! Only by moving forward, attacking forward, and breaking through the interception of the Chinese army, can he Ushijima continue to write the myth of undefeated!

Van Berlin's shelling obviously disrupted the rhythm of General Ushijima's attack, not only successfully diverted the attention of the detachment's artillery, but also blew up the passage between the rear and front armies of the detachment.

The detachment is going to be cut into two sections! Ushijima was so surprised that while sending troops to the dangerous area in the middle to strengthen the connection between the detachment headquarters and the 23rd Wing, he ordered Okamoto to speed up the pace of the attack, crush the Chinese troops blocking the way in front as soon as possible, and leave this dangerous area as soon as possible.

Cutting the Ushijima detachment in two is a strategic concept that Gao Quan has had a long time ago, Ushijima wants to remedy it, how can it be so simple? The shelling was only the first step, and the next thing was that his interspersed detachment was going to come in handy.

This interspersed detachment is also a mobile attack group formed by Gao Quan mobilizing all the forces at hand. That is, there are all the special service battalions, half of the guard company, one company of the communications battalion, and two companies of the reconnaissance battalion. The reason why many of the troops here have brought out half of it is because the division headquarters where Hong Yingying is in charge also needs enough manpower to maintain it.

Originally, these people together had already exceeded 2,000 people, and later they forced up more than 1,000 people in the second column of Zhao Ziming's Anti-Japanese Decisive Army, and this time, an interspersed detachment of 3,000 people was settled. With this team, let alone just interspersing and harassing the enemy, even if it is against a wing of devils, it can make trouble for a while.

"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Gao Quan led the interspersed detachment to kill the junction of the front and rear armies of the devil. Since this time he was fighting in concert with the 195th Division, Gao Quan did not engage in any more tricks of make-up and sneak attack. To fight together with an upright army, it is necessary to use upright and bright tactics. If you do that again, it will be easy to cause misunderstandings on the battlefield, and it will be easy to be laughed at by friendly forces. As for the interspersed with the rate, this is completely a regular method of warfare!
