Chapter 189: The Battle Ends
Chief of Staff Yasuo Karagawa ordered the convoy to speed up. In fact, as he expected, the two black Toyota cars in the middle of the convoy were really attacked. First, the sniper in the distance took the car as a target, and with a long shot, the black car was smashed into a pockmarked face, and the window glass was also broken, and the driver of the car was killed on the spot. Then there were grenades that flew from nowhere, or maybe grenadiers, but the two cars were blown into two piles of scrap metal almost in no particular order!
The devil driver on the truck scrambled in the direction, the truck took turns to make sharp turns, and one by one quickly passed by the two burning cars! Of course, trucks are not necessarily safe. Gao Quan personally led the soldiers in pursuit, with patrols intercepting in front, snipers sniping around him, and the devil's truck team also falling behind from time to time.
The barracks of the puppet army were a little closer to the edge of the mining area, and Xu Gensheng led his recruits to guard the barracks around the barracks, guarding against the attack of devils. Who thought that before the devil could come to them, he was beaten away by Gao Quan's troops. Xu Gensheng stood on the edge of the barracks and watched, and saw that the devil's convoy was coming quickly, and the adjutant Xu, who had already taken off the puppet army hat, turned around and ran back, shouting as he ran: "The devil is coming, call me!" After shouting these words, he jumped forward violently, jumped directly to the edge of the nearest machine gun bunker, and climbed into the bunker with his hands and feet, and the machine gun sounded.
The recruits didn't see the devil either, and they didn't know how the devil was coming, but since Adjutant Xu said that he wanted to fight, let's fight! It doesn't matter where the devil comes from, just hit in the direction of the road!
There is a section of the road in the mining area that just passes in front of the former puppet army camp, which is the only way for the devil truck, and it is impossible to avoid it. The truck in front rushed past with the accelerator pedal, but the second truck behind had its tires blown. As soon as the speed dropped, countless bullets rained down! The devil soldiers on the car immediately returned fire, but the firepower of several machine guns on the puppet army position was too strong, and some of the devils on the truck fired a shot, and most of them turned into dead bodies before they even had time to release a shot. The driver was also killed, and the car was finished!
As soon as the driver of the third car slowed down a little, there was a knocking sound of "dong dong dong" from the rear compartment panel, "Hurry up!" Get around and leave him alone! Chief of Staff Tang Chuan, who was sitting in the back carriage, shouted like crazy. The devil driver slipped down, slammed the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator hard, and the truck let out a roar and turned around the second car. As for the Japanese soldiers who were still alive on the second truck, they were lucky enough to climb into the truck behind, and if they were unlucky, they would have covered the convoy.
The Japanese trucks rolled forward, machine guns on the front of the trucks and constantly strafing in both directions. The scout detachment, which had been ordered to disguise itself as a Japanese patrol, did not dare to get too close to the convoy, shooting at the trucks and throwing grenades from a distance.
From time to time, a bad luck truck in the devil's convoy was shot, and the driver behind him accelerated directly from the side with a dozen steering wheels, and didn't care if there were still alive devils on the truck that broke down in front. General Tang Chuan has set a precedent, and none of the devils behind him are willing to stop to fight or rescue their comrades.
The convoy stumbled out of the mine. There were nearly fifty vehicles of all kinds when I arrived, and when I drove out of the mine, there were only thirteen trucks left, and all the motorcycles and cars were left in this terrible mining area.
Outside the mining area, there are more death traps waiting for them, and if they continue to drive forward like this, as expected, Yasuo Karakawa and Kunio Kojie, these two Japanese major generals, will take all their soldiers and Commander Shigeru Sawada to accompany this mountain forest forever. All the devils in this inspection convoy will also be wiped out! Shi Lei and his scouts had been waiting for a long time, and it was obviously impossible to expect these nearly 2,000 heavily armed scouts to be merciful, and it was obviously impossible to let go of a certain devil soldier.
However, the world is impermanent, and the two devil major generals, Asuo Tangchuan and Koji Jiang Kunxiong, may not have reached the time when the evil is full, just when Shi Lei wanted to order the scouts to attack with all their might, the scouts who were on guard around the battlefield suddenly reported a shocking news: There are a large number of devils, at least more than 4,000 devils are rushing towards the mining area! And it's not far from there! If Shi Lei had to command the troops to eliminate the remnants of the convoy, then he would have to be ready to fight with the four thousand devils!
What to do? If only Shi Lei and his scouts were there today, the reconnaissance commander would not hesitate to kill the devil convoy, and then find a way to retreat with his troops! But not now, there is still a military commander Gao Quan in the mining area, and there are thousands of miners! This matter is too important, Shi Lei didn't dare to make a decision, and immediately reported to the military seat!
The devil rushed out of the mining area, Gao Quan didn't chase after him, he knew that Shi Lei led the reconnaissance group to ambush outside, and the devil couldn't escape! There are so many things that need to be dealt with urgently: the miners have to come out of the mines; The puppet army of the uprising should also bring weapons and equipment; Gao Quan had to find a way to get these people out of the mine safely; And blow up the mine. There are too many ores in the warehouse to take them with them, and it is unrealistic to fill them back into the mine, so they have to be blown up with explosives. If the devil is willing to come to collect broken ore, then no one can do anything, anyway, he can't leave the stacked ore for the devil to load and pull away smoothly.
There are so many things, everything has to be commanded by him, and he has to make up his mind, when Gao Quan was so busy that he was dizzy, Shi Lei called and said that the devil was coming! Gao Quan was shocked, and then calmed down. Sawada Shigeru was attacked while inspecting the mining area, and the devils of the entire Thirteenth Army had to mess up the camp? Even the devil's base camp had to be shaken. It is inevitable that a large group of devils will swarm here! As soon as the devils ask for support, the devils in this radius of hundreds of miles will have to gather here! Remove! Don't stay for a moment, retreat immediately!
After Gao Quan gave Shi Lei the order to retreat, he quickly ordered all the personnel in the mining area to evacuate! Although there are many miners, no matter how many people there are, there are more people than an army of five hundred? Besides, these miners didn't have any heavy supplies to bring, so they could set off with two pieces of dry food each. As for weapons, the weapons of Takai Shaozo and his subordinates have long been divided, and the weapons in the mining area are not enough for each person. If you have it, you will take it, and if you don't, you will be empty-handed. Gao Quan had already made up a simple team for these miners the night before, and it would not be chaotic to retreat today or according to the formation of last night.
The miners were overjoyed to be able to escape from the control of the devils, and the miners happily obeyed as soon as Commander Gao gave an order. After all, Xu Gensheng and his recruits were trained in the military, and marching with them not only had no problem themselves, but also helped maintain order among the miners. Coupled with the help of Shi Dahai and Yu Laoliu with the miners, this army of nearly 10,000 people successfully left the mining area before the arrival of the devils.
The troops had not even walked three miles from the mining area before a continuous thunderous sound exploded from behind them, the earth trembled like an earthquake, the branches of the trees swayed, the gravel rolled, and the wild beasts of the mountains ran wildly! Gao Quan saw with his own eyes that less than two hundred meters away from him, there was a wild boar family, a scene of five wild boars and two wild wolves running wildly! Could it be that too much explosives were put and an earthquake was triggered? Gao Quan's face changed a little. Fortunately, Commander Gao still retained his usual good luck this time, this time the explosion was a little more powerful and the ground shook a little stronger, but it did not cause any major geological disasters, and Gao Quan and his Shenlong detachment did not suffer any catastrophe in the end.
This time the matter was relatively big, Gao Quan led the troops out of the mining area and did not go down the mountain at all, let alone enter Jinhua. The troops crossed the mountains and mountains all the way to the west, and did not meet any devil troops on the way. This journey is hundreds or thousands of miles, and it is impossible to say that an enemy cannot be encountered. As long as you encounter a small group of devils or traitors on the way, you will be wiped out.
There is a reconnaissance group listening to the news around, where there are a large number of devils, where there is a large group of puppet troops, Gao Quan can know in advance, and he will hide when he should hide. In the face of a small group of enemies, with the strength of this Shenlong detachment, Gao Quan was not afraid to take the sheep and kill those devils and puppet soldiers who went out without looking at the yellow calendar. In fact, the biggest group of devils they had ever seen was nothing more than a squad, and the battle ended in less than half an hour after two hundred scouts went up.
After nearly 20 days of mountain marching, Gao Quan and his troops finally arrived in Shangrao and Guangfeng areas in early July. The 74th Army, the 49th Army, the 500th Army, and the 26th Army of our army are all assembled here, and the 15th and 22nd Divisions of the Japanese have just occupied Guangfeng, and the two armies are fighting fiercely in this area. Gao Quan led his newly recruited thousands of troops and the main force of the army to join forces in victory, and the prestige of the 500 army was greatly enhanced, and on the same day it won a small victory on the battlefield.
The Japanese army, due to the accidental death of Sawada Shigeru, left the 13th Army leaderless. Although the base camp quickly sent a successor commander, Lieutenant General Nagasawa Zobi, it was already a clear fact that the military prestige of the 13th Army had been defeated and the morale of the army had been lost. In fact, Commander Yongze came to clean up the mess. After Sawada Shigeru died, the successor Nagasawa Sabi gave the order to withdraw his troops when he came, which was also the order given to him by the base camp before he came.
When Sawada Shigeru was alive, the Japanese army was like a bamboo, occupying Jinhua and Quzhou, and fighting all the way to Guangfeng. After the death of the commander and the withdrawal of the new commander as soon as he took office, the Japanese troops of the 13th Army talked about it one after another, and some of them despised Nagasawa and secretly dissatisfied, and even the commanders of individual units openly complained to the commander-in-chief of the Chinese dispatch army, Shunroku Hata, saying that Nagasawa was more timid and afraid of war, and destroyed the prestige of the imperial army.
Commander Yongze, who knew the situation, immediately forcibly ordered the Japanese troops to retreat in the form of a military order! The generals speculate about the commander indiscriminately, this is the biggest characteristic of the unstable morale of the army! In the end, it was the military order that worked, and the Japanese troops on the front line fully retreated and retreated to the Jinhua line to stabilize their positions. Wuyi's fluorite mine devil still can't let go!
The Nationalist army pursued to the Jinhua line and recovered the lost territory west of Jinhua, and the Military Commission ordered the troops to stop fighting. The huge battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi has come to an end.
