Chapter 397: The devil occupies Wangjiadian
Seeing that the soldiers were very tired, Liu Tianshu glanced back at the avenue three miles away from here, and had to order the troops to rest in place for an hour, and by the way, let the soldiers eat some dry food. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, Liu Tianshu did not forget to let Zhou Aiguo arrange a guard around.
If his troops were attacked by devils while resting in the mountains and forests, they would be planted at Grandma's house.
As soon as he took out a captured canned beef and ate a few bites, Ou Biaofei and Staff Officer Qin came over.
"Regiment commander, this is the seventh company ambush that has achieved results." Seeing Liu Tianshu, Ou Biaofei had excitement on his face and handed over a piece of paper.
The 7th Company was ordered to ambush the devils in the valley east of Mahuangpo with the cooperation of the machine gun company and other machine gunners, because all the light and heavy machine guns that could be concentrated, and the favorable terrain and the soldiers were cleverly concealed, it only took less than 20 minutes to completely annihilate a squadron of Okada Saburo.
Many devil soldiers didn't even fire a single bullet at all, and they were directly knocked over by dense machine gun fire, so after the battle, a large number of guns and ammunition were still captured from the devils, especially the Japanese army's melon grenades, which were as many as 340.
When the Japanese soldiers fought, they generally carried 120 rounds of ammunition, and the most of these devil soldiers only fired about 30 rounds of ammunition, but the few did not even fire ten rounds of ammunition, and now they were all cheaper than seven companies.
Liu Tianshu took a look, and it listed that 163 devils were killed, 13,000 rounds of ammunition were captured, and a large amount of Japanese field rations were also captured.
After Liu Tianshu served as the commander of the 16th Regiment, the rules for cleaning up the battlefield have changed greatly.
Everything that can be used on the battlefield must be taken away, including money and goods on the devil's body, that is, except for the clothes on the enemy's body, which will not be stripped off, the rest of the things will be taken away.
Although most of the field rations and first-aid kits captured this time were bloody, they were all scavenged.
"Battalion Commander Ou, the Seventh Company fought well, and in such a short period of time, all the devils of a squadron were killed, it seems that the power of this inverted triangle machine gun ambush position is indeed extraordinary." Liu Tianshu nodded.
"By the way, head of the regiment, you said that Saburo Okada, an old devil, suffered such a big loss this time, what will he do next?" Staff Officer Qin asked on the side.
Although the 4789th Company and the machine gun company inflicted heavy losses on the devils, their own casualties were not small, the four infantry companies lost almost one company, and the machine gun company also suffered one-third casualties.
The situation of the reconnaissance company was slightly better, but the soldiers were also extremely tired because of the continuous fighting.
This is also the reason why Liu Tianshu had to order the troops to rest in the mountains and forests.
If the troops in his hand were his troops in Shandong, he would have pounced like a hungry wolf at this time.
"Battalion Commander Ou, Staff Officer Qin, although we have eliminated more than 400 devils, the soldiers are very tired, and they can only watch at present
Okada's brigade headed east. Forget it, Staff Officer Qin, send a telegram to Xie Pingcai, let the second battalion immediately evacuate Sanguba, move closer to Political Commissar Guo, and at the same time let the first battalion move in the direction of Sujiatang. Liu Tianshu thought about it and asked Staff Officer Qin to send a telegram to Political Commissar Guo and several battalion commanders.
Guo Sizhong received a telegram and learned that Liu Tianshu commanded the troops to eliminate more than 700 enemies in Wild Boar Ridge, and his own casualties were less than 200, so he couldn't help but be so shocked that he almost fell out his teeth.
You must know that even Commander Luo commanded the troops to fight with the devils, and the casualty ratio of the enemy to us was also about two to one, but I didn't expect Liu Tianshu to fight a miracle of one to three.
However, he knew that although the devil had suffered a heavy blow in the hands of the regiment commander, his strength was still there, and it was not something that the weak 16th Regiment could carry hard, so he had to regret that he had to give up Wangjiadian and organize the villagers to move eastward.
Xie Pingcai commanded the 5th and 6th companies to help the villagers in Sanguba transfer, of course, he could only tell those villagers who would rather die than leave their homes.
However, those anti-Japanese activists and party members all withdrew from Sanguba in strict accordance with Liu Tianshu's orders.
After Nobuyuki Matsushita's brigade sent two squadrons to guard the mountain pass east of Wild Boar Ridge to respond, the remaining two squadrons, the machine gun squadron, the artillery squadron, and the wing artillery squadron, all of them slaughtered Santaniba with great momentum.
In the afternoon, Liu Tianshu took the 4789th Company and the machine gun company to a hill on the right side of the valley mouth on the east side of the Wild Boar Ridge.
Although he did not attack Okada Saburo's 1st Squadron after defeating Okada Saburo's 1st Squadron, because Okada Saburo had lost so many Imperial soldiers at Boar Ridge, the corpses of these soldiers had to be collected and the wounded soldiers had to be treated, so it was not until 4 p.m. that he joined the 1st and 2nd Squadrons of the 1st Brigade waiting at the eastern mountain pass with his demoralized troops.
The 1st Squadron Leader of the 1st Brigade of the Panasonic Wing, Yokodano 16, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the 2nd Brigade that walked out of the Wild Boar Ridge not only had only about 900 people, but also that the soldiers were depressed, and many of the soldiers were still carrying the wounded.
He and the leader of the second squadron stepped forward to greet Saburo Okada, and then took Saburo Okada to rest in the village of Tunliu, not far from the mountain pass.
The wing commander clearly instructed that after the second brigade walked out of the wild boar ridge, it temporarily rested in Tunliu Village, south of Sanguba. The 16th Squadron and the 2nd Squadron of Yokota, after the 1st Brigade had settled down in Tunliu Village, rushed to Sanguba to join the main force of the Brigade.
Okada Saburo arrived at Tunliu Village, and immediately asked the troops to build field fortifications along the village, he was beaten honestly by Liu Tianshu's ambush at Wild Boar Ridge, although the wing commander did not blame himself, but let himself take the troops to stay in Tunliu Village, responsible for the logistics supply line of the wing, it is also an unspoken blame.
And Liu Tianshu is used to making strange moves, although he was beaten to the ground, it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Tianshu will not come to beat the water dog. Therefore, as soon as Saburo Okada arrived in Tunliu Village, he immediately deployed troops on the commanding heights around the village and built field fortifications.
Liu Tianshu heard the report of the reconnaissance fighters and learned that Okada Saburo's headquarters was staying in Tunliu Village, and Matsushita Nobuyuki took the first brigade and the direct subordinate of the wing and went straight to Sanguba, and at the same time, the third brigade that came down from the north, according to Xie Pingcai's report, also arrived less than thirty miles away from Sanguba.
Now the devil's three-way army is the size of a brigade, and it is really not an easy task to ask for some bargains, but in order to ensure the safety of the back road, Matsushita Nobuyuki still left a battalion of Imperial Alliance Army guards to the west of Banqiaoji.
Liu Tianshu used the radio to contact Xie Pingcai, Guo Sizhong, Tong Guijie and others, and decided that Ou Biaofei would take the three battalions and rely on the Wild Boar Ridge to first ambush the Imperial Allied Army west of Banqiaoji, cut off the logistics line of Matsushita Nobuyuki, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the scattered enemy.
If the devil wants to sweep the base area, it is inevitable to divide the troops, and he can't always form a group. As long as the devil divides his troops, he will have a chance to strike all the way.
Now Liu Tianshu has equipped the radio station to the battalion level, plus the transport squadron that ambushed Saburo Okada, and captured three more radios, so that he even equipped Zhou Aiguo's reconnaissance company with two radios.
After explaining in detail to Ou Biaofei, Liu Tianshu took the machine gun company, the reconnaissance company and the fourth company of the second battalion out of the wild boar ridge at night and quietly rushed to Wangjiadian on the west side of Sanguba. 、
Xie Pingcai's second battalion had already withdrawn to the vicinity of Wangjiadian at this time, and Guo Sizhong's political commissar and the regimental organs and logistics personnel, as well as the personnel of the local organs in the base area, had already joined up with the second battalion.
At dawn, Liu Tianshu finally met with Guo Sizhong's political committee.
Seeing Liu Tianshu coming back, Guo Sizhong and Xie Pingcai greeted them very excitedly. Guo Sizhong held Liu Tianshu's hand tightly, and said in a loud voice: "Comrade Liu Tianshu, you have worked hard. ”
"Commissar, you are the same, comrades, okay?" Looking at Guo Sizhong, who was a little tired, Liu Tianshu said emotionally.
"Fortunately, the comrades have safely withdrawn from Wangjiadian, but it's a pity that Sanguba is occupied by devils." Guo Sizhong said sadly.
Fortunately, most of the villagers moved ahead of schedule, but according to the information they received, after the devils occupied Sanguba, they found that many villages were empty, and in anger they forced those villagers who had not been transferred to hand over the cadres of the New Fourth Army and the Communist Party. These villagers originally thought that they were just honest croppers, and even if the devils came, they would not embarrass themselves, but they didn't expect to be forced by these fierce devils to the empty dam in the village with guns.
It's just that these villagers didn't know where the New Fourth Army and the anti-Japanese cadres had gone, so naturally they couldn't hand it over, and the devils, who were embarrassed and angry, actually shot all 38 villagers in a village with machine guns, and the blood stained the empty dam of the village.
Such tragedies have occurred in several villages in a row.
After listening to Guo Sizhong's angry narration, Liu Tianshu's face was full of anger, and after a while, he said: "Political commissar, the little devils are not human beings at all, and we must pay back the crimes they committed." ”
The soldiers of the reconnaissance company and the soldiers of the machine gun company who followed Liu Tianshu back were also full of anger when they heard the news.
The day after Guo Sizhong withdrew from Wangjiadian with the regimental headquarters, the main force of the first brigade of devils had occupied Wangjiadian.
However, Nobuyuki Matsushita and his wing team stayed in Sanguba and did not come to Wangjiadian.
Listening to Xie Pingcai's introduction, Liu Tianshu's brows furrowed.
In order to deal with the New Fourth Army, Matsushita Nobuyuki ordered the 3rd Brigade to sweep towards Wangjiadian from the north, and the three squadrons of the 1st Brigade set out from Sanguba and occupied Wangjiadian.
According to the practice of the devils, if they occupy Wangjiadian and find that the main force of the New Fourth Army has fled, they will definitely send troops to search and pursue them.
Finding that the 4th Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Panasonic Wing was arranged in Xiaochenzhuang, southeast of Wangjiadian, Liu Tianshu's eyes lit up.
Judging from the actions of the devils today, it is very likely that tomorrow it will be fanning eastward, so it is very likely that the 4th Squadron of the 1st Brigade will go to Xiejiashan along Tangjiagou southeast of Xiaochenzhuang. (To be continued.) )
