Chapter 49: The Battle of Encirclement and Annihilation

A young man wearing a cardigan coat and a felt hat stood in front of Hu Pegasus and saluted, which means that there is an important military intelligence report of the scout. Murat introduced Hu Fei on the side: "His name is Qian Chao, and he has been a scout for two years. After a brief introduction, he turned to the investigator, "Qian Chao, what can you say?" ”

"Yes! Report to the commander, on the twelfth of this month, the headquarters of the commander of the Third Army Tang Huaiyuan was surrounded by the Japanese army in Jianshan, and the battle was fought to the end, and the commander of the Tang army committed suicide and martyrdom! On the 13th, the commander of the 12th Division, who was seriously wounded, committed suicide by drawing a gun in Hujiayu! The body of the commander of the inch division was buried by the local villagers, and the commander of the Tang army was buried by the Japanese army in Jianshan. ”

"What?" Hu Fei's body shook and almost fell off his horse. Not long ago, he led his troops to fight side by side with the commander of the Cun division, and just a few days ago, Hu Fei met with Commander Tang. At that time, Tang Huaiyuan said what horse leather shroud, sweat and bamboo incense, at that time I thought it was just the general expressing his determination to resist the war to the end, but I didn't expect that the original words would become a fact after not seeing him for a few days!

Horse Leather Shroud, Horse Leather Shroud! Tang Huaiyuan may have such and such problems, but his unswerving pride in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression made Hu Fei deeply admired. Since the general has been loyal to the country, Hu Fei, as a descendant, went to the graves of the two generals Tang and Cun to salute and bow to comfort the martyrs, right?

"Do you know where Commander Tang and Commander Cun are buried? Take me to offer incense to the two generals. ”

"Commander Cun was buried in the villagers' cemetery behind Hujiayu Village. Commander Tang was buried next to the mountain temple on the top of Jianshan. However, the tomb of the commander of the inch division can be seen, and it is not easy to go to the tomb of the commander of the Tang army, and there is a Japanese army stationed at the foot of Jianshan. The investigator was obviously taken aback when he heard that Hu Fei was going to the grave to put incense, and he wanted to let Commander Hu know that this incense was not so good.

"There is a Japanese army stationed at the foot of Jianshan? Is it the gang of devils who killed Commander Tang? Hu Fei's eyes showed an aggressive fierce light.

"Like." The scout was a little embarrassed when he said this, Tang Huaiyuan obviously committed suicide, how could the Japanese army kill Commander Tang? However, he also understood what Commander Hu meant, although the devil army besieging Tang Huaiyuan was not a direct murderer, but without them, Commander Tang would not have committed suicide. It's not wrong to say that they are murderers. Besides, in addition to those devils who didn't kill Tang Huaiyuan with their own hands, did they kill fewer of our soldiers and civilians?

"How many Japanese soldiers are there?"

"Half a brigade, about three or four hundred people." The exact number scout couldn't tell, he could only give an approximate idea. However, just this is probably enough, Hu Fei doesn't need to be in a single digit.

"Pass my order, all the troops of the 88th Column will assemble in separate ways to Jianshan, and encircle and annihilate the Japanese army brigade in Jianshan!" Since these devils don't know how to leave after doing bad things, they can only blame themselves for their own death!

Commander Hu's military order was surging, and more than 5,000 horsemen from the 88th Column surrounded Jianshan in six ways. Everyone received the order: Go to Jianshan to surround and destroy the devil brigade! Before I got to the place, I first said that I was going to encircle and annihilate the devils, that is, to win the battle, at least it was a battle with a relatively high victory rate. Who wouldn't want to fight such a battle?

At that time, the national army fought in a war with more people than devils and inferior equipment than the enemy, and even if it won in the end, it was often a disastrous victory, and most of the time it was always defeated. Does that thing work to boost your strength? The soldiers of the 88th Column followed Hu Fei to fight in the north and south, and fought countless large and small battles. Although there are times of failure, most of them are not the kind of hard battles that blindly fight to the death. Therefore, no matter how effective the troops are, at least the morale has always been quite high.

As soon as they heard that they were going to encircle and annihilate the devils this time, the officers and soldiers all came to the end, and they came one by one to take out the strength to run a marathon and trot all the way!

The devil's reconnaissance plane discovered that some troops of the national army were moving near Jianshan, but the speed of our army's various units was so fast that the troops intercepted by the devils had just reached the halfway point, and the troops of the 88th Column were already in place.

So what else is there to say? Let's fight! Hu Fei has only one request, be sure to annihilate them all! Since these devils can force Tang Huaiyuan to death, then they don't want to live freely!

The battle began, with the 1st and 2nd regiments and the newly formed regiment serving as the main attack, the 3rd regiment and the independent regiment serving as reserves, and the artillery battalion artillery support. Special forces and plainclothes squads scout around the battlefield. Flares take to the skies and the battle begins! Liu's crooked artillery battalion first lit a fire to the devil's position, and then the three main regiments began to attack in a swarm with the trumpet of the charge.

The hundreds of devils in the spotlight were blindfolded on the spot. The devil wonders, who are we recruiting to provoke whom? Why did you guys do it to us indiscriminately? Captain Devil Shaozuo hurriedly organized troops to resist, but the effect did not seem to be very ideal. This guy saw that something was wrong, so he quickly called for air support!

The devil plane came, a dive bombing, as a result, our army erected dozens of machine guns in the underground and fired at the air, and a devil pilot went out and forgot to look at the yellow calendar, and was beaten and disintegrated in the air by the machine gunners of our army! The devil pilot who came with him almost didn't let him die of fright, quickly raised the nose of the plane, hurriedly threw a few bombs and turned around and ran away. Yes, there is no air support now, this is called a widow who dies her son, and there is no hope.

After the desperate devil made a final resistance, he finally couldn't hold back the fear in his heart and began to rout in droves. There are all our troops around, and the devil wants to run, where is he going? An hour later, the battle came to an end, and the gunfire faded into silence.

After another half an hour, only sporadic gunfire could be heard, which were the seriously wounded enemy of our search party on the execution field.

When the troops were cleaning up the battlefield, Hu Fei followed the scouts to the top of Jianshan Mountain. Mt. Eagle's Nest is a small hill, as its name suggests, although the mountain is not big, the top of the mountain is a sharp point. There is a small temple not far from the highest peak, which is the mountain temple of Jianshan. Tang Huaiyuan's body was in a bamboo forest behind the temple.

A small mound with a plank stuck on it. The wooden board is inscribed: The tomb of the general of China. Hu Fei grabbed the wooden board and threw it out casually, "Dig, dig out the body of Commander Tang!" ”

Tang Huaiyuan, the commander of such a big lieutenant general, didn't even have a coffin when he died, and the devil buried his body in a sheet. We don't have a coffin here, so even if we want to fight a pair, it's too late. Come on, let's just wrap it in a cloth first! After a few more layers of cloth, he left the sad place of Jianshan on a war horse.

When they arrived in a secluded place, they sent scouts to a nearby town to buy a large mahogany coffin, put people inside, and pulled them by two horses to find the Seventh Division of the Third Army.
