Chapter 258: The Fall of the Mi Fu Brigade (1)

Xu Zhongnan received Liu Tianshu's order, immediately called the three platoon commanders and Yan Chengan, and after telling the order of the regiment headquarters, he looked at everyone and said: "Several, the order given to us by the regiment commander is to drag the devil at all costs and buy time for the main force to arrive. ”

After all, as the vanguard force, Xu Zhongnan only had one company in his hand, plus Yan Chengan's reconnaissance team, there were only about 100 people who could fight, and more than ten of them were lightly wounded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Chengan heard what Xu Zhongnan said, he looked at the map and said: "The regiment commander judged that the devil would definitely choose to retreat after knowing that the supply depot in Baima Town was captured, and he asked us to drag the devil, he must have wanted the main forces of the first and second battalions to rush over." Although we have too few troops now, I think that as long as we use it properly, it will not be easy for the little devil to get out. Company Commander Xu, you see, if the devil wants to quickly withdraw from Rongshan, there are only two ways to choose. One is to go to Dujiazui, but the terrain there is complicated, and it is very difficult to walk, and the other road is to go southeast from Darong Village and withdraw from the base area through Wildcat Ditch. This road is an avenue, and it has just been swept by devils along the way, so the road is easy to walk, and it is not easy to be attacked by troops hiding in the mountains. So, I think the devil will definitely choose to go to the wildcat ditch. Otherwise, our reconnaissance team was responsible for attacking the devils, trying to slow down their retreat as much as possible, and Company Commander Xu and the sixth company quickly rushed to Wildcat Gully, where they blocked the devils, and at the same time reported our battle plan to the regiment commander. ”

The devils of Darong Village, with a brigade of Mi Fu and a regiment of the Imperial Army, could not stop the retreat with the Sixth Company and Yan Cheng'an's reconnaissance team alone. The only way is to keep attacking the devils so that they can't easily retreat, and at the same time let the Sixth Company block them in Wildcat Gully.

Xu Zhongnan knew that his sixth company was going to fight, and every soldier was very brave, and whether it was offensive or defensive, he would fight very well. It's just a kraft candy tactic of hitting and leaving, walking and coming back, and coming back and fighting, but he is not proficient.

Hearing Yan Cheng'an's words, he thought for a while and said, "Okay, just follow what you said and report to the head of the regiment immediately." ”

Liu Tianshu was concentrating the artillery company and machine gun company at that time to quickly rush to Darong Village to attack the dead Mi Toma's department, when he received a telegram from Xu Zhongnan, and after studying the map, he agreed to Xu Zhongnan and Yan Chengan's plan.

At the same time, he asked Shi Qiang to take the reconnaissance brigade to ride the horses of the communication platoon and rush to Wildcat Ditch, cooperate with Xu Zhongnan to block the Japanese army, machine gun company and artillery company, and then rush to Wildcat Ditch.

At this moment, Tang Jian, an operational staff officer, came to report that he had been in contact with the Rongshan Independent Regiment. Liu Tianshu hurried over and instructed the telegraph operator to inquire about the situation of the Rongshan Independent Regiment. When he learned that a battalion of the Rongshan Independent Regiment was less than twenty miles away from Darong Village, he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately told Han Fangping, the commander of the Rongshan Independent Regiment, his thoughts, and asked Han Fangping to try to delay the devil's retreat and buy time for his main force to rush to Wildcat Gully.

Kim Jin-biao's battalion rushed to Uchang Town, and the original plan was to launch an attack on Uchang Town in order to attract the Yonama Brigade that had entered the base area to retreat. Now that the Mi Toma brigade had shown signs of retreat, Liu Tianshu immediately ordered Jin Zhenbiao to give up the attack on Yuchang Town, and one of his battalions rushed to Wildcat Gully.

Han Fangping didn't expect the Fuyashan Independent Regiment to come so quickly, and then heard Liu Tianshu say that he had successfully defeated the supply depot set up by Mi Toma in Baima Town, and its vanguard had rushed to Darong Village, and connected with the Mi Toma Brigade, asking his Independent Regiment to try to entangle the devils and create conditions for the elimination of the Mi Toma Brigade.

Han Fangping couldn't help but be surprised, in his opinion, it was a great victory to force the Mi Toma Brigade to withdraw from the base area, and he didn't think about destroying or severely damaging the Mi Toma Brigade.

It was a large Japanese army.

His independent regiment originally had more than 800 people, and in two fierce battles with the Mi Toma brigade, one battalion was gone, and in several small encounters later, another seventy or eighty people were lost, and his independent regiment can be said to have lost more than half.

As for the results of the battle, the Imperial Allied Army wiped out more than 200 people, but the Japanese army was only about 100 people at most.

It can be said that once his independent regiment is hard to carry with the devils, the battle losses are often one to three between the enemy and us.

However, he already knew from the scouts that after the Mi Toma Brigade entered the base area, it not only killed the innocent people it caught, but also burned the village, and he had long hated the Mi Toma Brigade in his heart.

Now Liu Tianshu asked him to entangle the devil and create conditions for the Fuyashan Independent Regiment to eliminate the Mi Toma Brigade, although he didn't believe that the Fuyashan Independent Regiment had this strength, but the people were the troops who came to the rescue, and he naturally would not refuse the suggestion that the Rongshan Independent Regiment would cooperate.

After all, the Rongshan Independent Regiment was fighting in the base area, and not only did a good job in intelligence work, but was also very familiar with the terrain, so he immediately sent people to contact the vanguard of the Fuyashan Independent Regiment, and at the same time ordered the troops to advance in the direction of Darong Village.

After meeting up with Yamazaki, Yoneto immediately ordered Yamazaki to lead a squadron of Japanese troops and a battalion of Imperial Allied troops to take the lead in the direction of Wildcat Gully.

When preparing to retreat, Mi Toma still carefully considered the retreat route. The terrain of Dujiazui was complicated, and guerrillas appeared from time to time, and if his troops chose to take this road, they would be easily ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. In addition, according to his analysis, the Eighth Route Army that came to the rescue would definitely take advantage of the victory to advance in the direction of Darong Village after capturing his supply station, so that if he chose to go to Dujiazui, it was very likely that he would collide with this group of Eighth Route Army that suddenly appeared.

Although the aviation troops searched the surroundings and did not find the shadow of this group of Eighth Route Army, he knew that this group of Eighth Route Army must be hiding in the shadows and looking for an opportunity to attack him.

If you take the Wildcat Gully, the most vulnerable to ambush is only a section of the Wildcat Gully, and the rest are avenues. There are also three complete infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron under his command, that is, the artillery squad, which is also fully organized, plus more than 700 imperial troops who cooperate with the action, the Eighth Route Army just wants to fight its own ambush, and it does not have such a big appetite.

Just when Yamazaki left Daei Village with a squadron of Japanese troops and a battalion of Imperial Cooperative Army, the Imperial Cooperative Army guarding the north was suddenly attacked, and the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared in front of the position of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and the Imperial Cooperative Army of this platoon was preparing to retreat, but I didn't expect this group of people to suddenly appear, and countless grenades were thrown towards the Imperial Cooperative Army that was being assembled, these Imperial Cooperative Army was completely defenseless, and was suddenly shrouded by the continuous explosions, and the entire mountain was full of screams and painful groans.

When the smoke cleared, a platoon of the Imperial Allied Army, except for six who were not injured, the rest were either killed or injured. Even the six uninjured Imperial Allies also looked panicked.

The company commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army, who rushed over with his troops, couldn't help but secretly complain when he saw that one of his platoons had become like this in a blink of an eye.

There were as many as twenty injured brothers in his company at once, and he couldn't leave these brothers to flee alone, so in desperation, he had to order the second platoon to help lift the injured brothers and stumble backwards.

It's a pity that as soon as they retreated down the mountain, a rain of bullets flew out on both sides, and the three rows in charge of guarding, fifteen more brothers fell in a blink of an eye, and the remaining brothers, how dare they stay behind and be on guard, and they ran towards Darong Village desperately.

When the company commander of the Imperial Association Army saw this scene, he suddenly became angry, raised his pistol and knocked down the two soldiers who were running happily, at this time a bullet flew and hit the **** of the company commander of the Imperial Association Army.

Seeing that the company commander was killed by the Eighth Road hiding in the shadows, where did the remaining Imperial Allied Army still have fighting spirit, they actually left their injured brother and ran backwards while shouting.

Mi Fu, who was assembling troops, heard gunshots from the north, and before he could figure out what was going on, he saw more than ten Imperial Cooperative troops running towards the village like fleeing for their lives, and immediately became angry, shouted eight squares, and then pulled out the command knife, more than ten devils immediately turned their guns, and with his angry shout, these devils raised their guns and opened fire without mercy, and these Imperial Cooperative troops who ran back fell under the devil's guns in a blink of an eye.

The Imperial Cooperative Army, who was standing in the distance, saw that the devil actually attacked the Imperial Cooperative Army, and anger began to flash in his eyes, but he was ordered by the battalion commander, and then he began to assemble in despair.

Knowing that a small force of the Eighth Route had appeared in the north, Mi Toma rolled his eyes and ordered the artillery to open fire on the north side of the village, and at the same time ordered the troops to retreat to Daei Village.

But at this moment, gunshots suddenly rang out in the south of the village, and several devils who had just left the village were hit by oncoming bullets and fell to the ground one after another.

Yan Chengan knew that in order to hold off the devil, his reconnaissance team had to act separately, but fortunately, his reconnaissance team originally had two combat groups, and this south and north launched an attack, which suddenly made Mi Fu start to worry a lot.

Eight roads appeared on the south side of the village, and after thinking for a while, Mi Toma frowned and thought for a while, and immediately ordered the Imperial Allied army guarding the hill south of the village to hold their positions to prevent the attackers who had infiltrated the village from escaping, and at the same time ordered a small group of Japanese troops to start searching the south of the village.

Who knew that after searching for a long time, there was no trace of the attacker at all, and at the same time, the Imperial Association Army, which was in charge of the broken rear in the north, was attacked again, and the entire Imperial Association Army became panicked.

Mi Toma was puzzled for a while, it stands to reason that these attackers could not pass through the defense line of the Imperial Association Army and enter the vicinity of the village, and even if these people came in, their own small team of Japanese troops should be able to catch these damn attackers if they conducted a dragnet search of the suspicious area.

Yan Cheng'an took four soldiers, and at this time he had already disguised himself as a Japanese army, anyway, because the Japanese troops in the village were busy retreating, their formation became a little chaotic. A few of them picked out the area close to the Imperial Army, and the devils who searched would not have thought that they had disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers, even if they saw them from afar, they would not be suspicious.
