Chapter 11 Public order and upright combat
"Kill!" The thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded an earth-shattering cry, and more than a hundred cavalry soldiers held high their snowy sabers and rushed towards the devil like the wind!
Captain Yamaguchi ordered the machine gun to shift the target and shoot at the cavalry! The captain's order worked, and the machine guns hit several cavalrymen. However, this has a side effect, and that is that the infantry that ambushed them is pushing forward!
The cavalry distracted the devils, and the infantry quickly advanced to close the distance with the devils. By the time the devils found out that something was wrong, the robbers' brigade was already less than a hundred meters away from them!
"Rush! Kill the devil! Amid the roar that spread all over the mountains, countless soldiers of our army rushed up from all directions, brandishing shining bayonets. Relying on the speed of their horses, the cavalry first rushed to the vicinity of the devils and threw a row of grenades, and the remaining thirty or forty devils suddenly suffered more than a dozen casualties. By the time there were less than twenty devils, the battle was basically over.
The last few devils surrounded two important people, Ryutaro Yamaguchi and the captain of the devil squad, saying that they wanted to live and die with the two chiefs! Captain Yamaguchi was moved! Or the soldiers have the courage, where are the two unlucky boys like the driver and the orderly, who have nested in the car and haven't come out until now!
Seeing the robbers getting closer and closer, Captain Yamaguchi finally got angry! This guy raised the command knife vertically and shouted: "Kill a few!" The devils pulled out the bullets from the chambers, loaded their bayonets, and shouted what they thought were mighty slogans: "Banzai! Plate boy! "Forming a commando formation, they rushed towards the huge infantry contingent opposite.
For the brave devil, Hu Fei naturally has to give enough respect. Since the devil wants to come to white-knuckle fighting, then come! Inserted the box cannon into his waist, reached out and picked up the ghost head knife and rushed towards the devil! A knife on the left, a knife on the right, and another knife when the whirlwind turns!
Hu Fei was like a killing god, wielding his ghost head knife in his hand, blood splashing everywhere, and screams one after another! In the blink of an eye, several kung fu devils were put down by him, and after a while, it is estimated that these devils will have to be cleaned up by him alone! The warriors behind him swarmed up like a sea, and in an instant, the devil was drowned in the sea of people! A few minutes later, the crowd receded, and all the devils present were already in a different place!
Pack up your things and clean up the battlefield! The harvest of this battle was not small, and Hu Fei got two motorcycles that could still be used! It's a pity that the car, which was supposed to be a good troop transport truck, was blown up by a grenade thrown by the cavalry company at the last moment! Well, it seems that the time has not yet come for the troops to carry out mechanized transformation!
After the battle, Hu Fei commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield thoroughly, and then returned to his lair with a rich booty.
Headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan. When an orderly reported the news of Ryutaro Yamaguchi's murder to the commander, Umezu Mijiro had his biggest temper in years!
"Eight Tooth Road!" His Excellency the Commander's angry voice echoed throughout the Command. On this day, two combat staff officers were beaten, and an adjutant was even sent back to China for saying the wrong thing!
Later that day, Umezu Mijiro summoned the commanders of the 36th and 109th Divisions and the 3rd and 4th Independent Mixed Brigades to the headquarters of the First Army and announced the launch of a six-month campaign to maintain law and order! The target of the operation is the entire territory of Shanxi, especially the Wutai Mountains around Taiyuan.
As soon as the combat meeting began, Japanese troops from all walks of life poured out, from counties and towns to villages, and everywhere there were convoys of Japanese troops approaching. There were Japanese troops marching on every road, and for a time the whole Shanxi fell into a sense of oppression that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
On June 1, 1939, the Sasaki Detachment of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army and the Ghana Detachment of the Independent Mixed 3rd Brigade carried out sweeping operations on the front line of Wutai, Hekou, and Daying. The Japanese army carried out brutal killing and looting of civilians in the mopping area.
Hu Fei's troops, which were encamped on Tianlong Mountain, were naturally discovered by the Japanese army's ground-air joint search force. After losing a face-to-face encounter with the devils, Hu Fei took his troops and moved into the ranks of the guerrillas. If we can't fight us head-on, then we should engage in guerrilla warfare.
Shanxi not only has the Jin Sui Army, but also the Eighth Route Army's activity area is mainly in Shanxi. Since Hu Fei had previously cooperated with the Eighth Route Army's armed engineering team to resist Japan, the two sides naturally cooperated again in this sweep against the Japanese army.
It's been hiding in the mountains northeast of Kouquan Town for a whole day, why hasn't the devil come yet? Not only the soldiers were anxious, but even Hu Fei himself was anxious.
"Report to Brother Fei, the political commissar of Wang Dong of the martial arts team sent someone to send a message, he said that the devil will arrive before dark today!"
"Really? That's great! For Wang Dong, the political commissar of the martial arts team who has had cooperation experience, Hu Fei respects him from the bottom of his heart. With those troops who lack guns and ammunition, they dare to deal with the devils, and this is admirable! Since Commissar Wang said that the devils came before dark, then they were allowed to come!
The cavalry brigade was hidden and rested in the mountain col, where there was a large wood, and hundreds of men and horses hid in the woods, and the devil planes could not find it from the sky. Less than two miles out of the mountain col is the highway, and the devils want to sweep it, of course they will sweep along the road. If there is no road, how can the devil's car and motorcycle go?
Ambush warfare, of course, is the most typical way to lay mines! In addition to laying a large number of mines, it is also necessary to dig traps and the like. In this day, Hu Fei had already planted a lot of mines on the road, but now he felt that it was not enough, and he wanted to find something to do for the devil.
"Li San, let your supplement come with a shovel and hoe!"
"Yes!" Li San agreed, turned around and ran over to gather the troops. Li San is Hu Fei's absolute confidant, of course, no problem. However, the soldiers of the supplementary company inevitably complained a little in private.
"Do you really treat us as farmers? Every time we fight, we can't fight the main force, not to mention, why do we let us work in the fields every time? Dig pits, dig up the soil, let us do it every time! The real ones are all soldiers, why should they be divided into three, six, nine and so on? ”
"Yang Laosan, what are you muttering nonsense? If I want to hear you disturb the morale of the army again, beware of Lao Tzu killing you! "What kind of virtue are the subordinates, as a supplement, Li San, the company commander, is very clear, these buns don't give them some color, they really think they are uncles! You were originally farming, digging pits and burying mines, and who will you let go? Do you want Ji Jinbiao's cavalry company to go?
"Brothers, sell harder! Today's battle is over, and I invite everyone to eat stew! "Or Hu Fei will incite people, in a simple word, those supplementary soldiers who were complaining just now immediately came to their senses! One by one, they picked up their hoes and shovels and started to do it. If nothing else, just for that stewed pork, it's worth their efforts!
