Chapter 154: Mountain Warfare, We Don't Use Stones
October 25, 1937, 4 p.m. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as the order was given, everyone began to move, and two hours later, at four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone set out.
At the beginning, the plan of the volunteers was to travel lightly, except for ammunition and food, nothing but a dozen trailers of the baggage brigade.
The plan was revised to include some belongings, shovels and pickaxes, and some tattered things. People don't understand, and the trail says the purpose.
I'm afraid that everyone won't understand, Xiaolu told a story, saying that during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao beat Yuan Shao, a major general, a big war, Cao Cao threw the jewels of the army all over the ground, and Yuan Shao's army got off the horse and robbed it, and was defeated by the killed.
Then he told a story, saying that Zhuge Liang's first battle was also a weak victory over the strong, first of all, Zhao Yun failed in a row and could not win. In this way, Cao Cao's army was arrogant and underestimated, and was defeated. We take these things and throw them along the way, giving the wrong impression to the enemy that it is the enemy who despises us, so that we can defeat the strong with the weak.
Everyone agreed. Familiar with the road, the volunteers crossed the railway between the Great Stone Bridge and Haicheng and ran towards the mountains. At ten o'clock in the morning, I finally entered the mountain.
October 26, 1937, two o'clock in the afternoon. In the mountains east of Dashiqiao, a valley was built to the west of the town.
Xiaolu couldn't help but admire the physical fitness of the volunteers. One day and one night, only three rests, an hour and a half, and a march of 160 miles, it is really not simple, which is a miracle compared to the historical story of marching 30 miles a day that I have seen before.
Xiaolu said: "We are going, there are a total of 6,000 people, and our whereabouts will definitely not be hidden." The enemy will soon find him. We're going to take advantage of this terrain and set up an ambush. Tell the soldiers that in mountain warfare, as long as we dig trenches, the enemy's mountain artillery is basically a decoration. Next, let's assign positions and the configuration of each unit. ”
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yan'an called to inquire about the current situation. Xiaolu reported the plan. After more than ten minutes, Yan'an called back: "Agreed." Fight for victory. "The signature is the central.
It was also two o'clock in the afternoon, and the vanguard of the devils came to the station of the volunteers according to the intelligence, only to see that the barracks built into a big tunzi were empty. Wait until the large army comes up before the vanguard dares to enter the village. I saw that the things in the village were thrown in a mess, and the grain on the ground attracted a lot of sparrows to grab it.
The vanguard immediately inquired around and learned that the volunteers had retreated from a dirt road in the countryside north of the village, and that they had fled. When the devil saw that the other party had fled, he was not angry, and the brigade did not station, did not rest, and chased down the dirt road.
Will they be able to run? Pursue! After chasing for a while, most of them will scatter.
After chasing for a long time, the things discarded on the road gradually increased.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the army of devils walked to Xiliu Town and stationed there. Early the next morning, continuing the pursuit along the traces, the road of the volunteers turned south to Dashiqiao, and at night they simply stayed in the town of Dashiqiao. The next day, he entered the mountain and came in the direction of Xiuyan.
October 28, 1937, two o'clock in the afternoon. Build a town in the West Valley.
The commander, Major General Hashimoto, rode a horse and walked on the mountain road, and along the way, he carefully observed the mountainous terrain on both sides, thinking that he could set up ambush positions everywhere and hit himself everywhere, and he was a little surprised, but when he saw the things thrown on the road, his heart was a little calmer. Because before, he encircled and suppressed the Volunteers, and every time the Volunteers were attacked by a large army, they were defeated like this.
Through the pursuit of these two days, Hashimoto has determined that his previous experience of Nakasa has reappeared, and he will be able to rise to another level soon.
News of the reconnaissance force arrived, and the Volunteers seemed to have entered the valley on the left.
This was normal for Hashimoto, who knew that, as before, the Volunteers had gone into the ravine, and then after the blow, they would break up. In addition, the Xiuyan spy in front had already sent news confirming that the volunteers had entered the mountain and went north.
In the past, the Kwantung Army pursued the Volunteers, and it was so effortless. This time it's the same.
After entering the ravine and walking for more than an hour, the road was much narrower, so I had to leave the mountain artillery behind, and the large army continued to advance.
To combat this point, you don't need artillery.
Hashimoto already sensed that the enemy was already very close to him. It's quiet in the ravine, and the autumn leaves have already fallen, so the view is good, and the stones on the cliffs on both sides can be seen clearly, even a stone rolling down.
Hashimoto is strange, stone? Enemy!
A large number of stones on the cliffs on both sides rolled down one after another, smashing into the large group of people.
Hashimoto was on the verge of laughing. This opponent wanted to stone his thousands of elite soldiers to death. It was ridiculous that the order was given: "Attack the cliffs on both sides and destroy the enemy!" ”
The gun went off.
There was only one gunshot.
Hashimoto, who was riding on a horse, shook and fell, one foot hanging from the stirrups.
The people did not find the shooter lying there at all, however, someone shouted: "General! Checkmate! ”
Hashimoto was killed. The bullet was fired from the upper part of the right ear and from the left. The bullet was odd, with a small bullet hole on the right side and a hole the size of an egg in the left side of the skull.
Before the team could restore order, explosions began on the road, there were dozens of explosion points along the main road, the horse teams on the mainland were in chaos, and a large number of soldiers were killed.
Before the smoke cleared, shooting began on the surrounding hills.
The devil was in a mess, quickly restored order, and immediately saw that the other party was not an ordinary bandit at all, but a regular army, the position configuration was very scientific, the firepower was very effective, there were no dead ends below, and the casualties of the troops increased rapidly.
The devil's puppet army quickly shrank and concentrated in an open place.
At this time, something went wrong at the back of the line, and the gunfire was intense, followed by several explosions. It's over, there is a problem with the baggage battalion in the back, and at the same time as a contact battle just took place, the baggage battalion was also attacked.
The devil's brigade climbed up and sent people to check, the scene was very miserable, the number of people in the baggage battalion was small, all of them were killed, the grain was robbed, a few mountain artillery pieces were robbed, and a few were blown up.
Realizing that they had underestimated the enemy, the devils quickly retracted, set up a headquarters in the open area of the valley behind, and put on a posture of fighting the regular army.
During the night, the devils were attacked. God knows what the bandits used to drop explosives into the barracks, a dozen of them in total, half of which exploded in tents, killing and wounding many.
If they see that the tires in the bicycle can be used as explosives emitters, then they will ban the bicycle.
The Volunteers tied the inner tube of the bicycle to a small tree, made a huge slingshot, ignited the explosive fuse, and launched it. Some explode after falling, and some explode before falling.
