Chapter 757: Ambush, Bloodshed

December 4th. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoDushan.

The 11th Division of the Japanese 13th Army was radicalized along the railway line under the command of the division commander Akaka. Rushing to the front was the 104th Infantry Wing, and at this time the captain Haifu Sanchio was the first to occupy Dushan, and he could not be happy, because he felt that he was in a difficult situation.

Due to logistical problems, supplies could not keep up. Not to mention food, even bullets are insufficient. Food is even more of a headache. Originally, I thought that the people of China were running for their lives, and it was easy to grab food, and it was okay to catch chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs to eat. But I don't know why, there is no food near Dushan, no chickens and ducks. All the people ran away, and there was no one, let alone the flower girl.

The most annoying thing is that in Dushan, there is no table salt. What can be found everywhere has become a treasure here!

Although the order of the soldiers entering Guizhou said that there was a shortage of salt in Guizhou, they thought that the price was high, but they did not expect that there was not a single grain of salt.

In addition to food, what is worse is what is worn. In Guangxi, although it was colder, it was bearable, but who knew that when I arrived in Dushan, the weather was gloomy, and it was snowing, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in thin clothes was almost less than one-third of that of usual. Fortunately, it was only a few guerrillas who resisted, and if it was a large force, then they were in danger of being completely annihilated.

Just after writing the words "bloodless occupation", he was attacked by cold guns in the county town. The people who shot cold seemed to be guerrillas, because they were familiar with the terrain of the county and could not catch them at all. But it's not like it, because these people's weapons are obviously not good, they are home-made shotguns, although they shoot accurately, they are not efficient, and they have almost no lethality.

Yesterday the following orders were received: 1. Reverse from the evening of December 4, and make all preparations before then; 2. All kinds of facilities, factories, and munitions near Dushan were blown up and burned by the sappers; 3. On the way, the ammunition depot and oil storage depot in the cave were also burned as much as possible; 4. Railways, bridges, tunnels, and communication facilities should also be destroyed and retreated.

The sappers who could be sent out said that the information was inaccurate, that all the warehouses were empty, only a few burned train cars. In addition, the loss of those who went to the countryside to grab food was great. If you don't retreat, I'm afraid there will be more luck than lucky.

Thinking of this, he didn't care whether it was time to retreat or not, and said: "Give the order, half an hour later, the whole army will set off, direction: Chizhou, Guangxi." ”

That is, we retreat. If you move forward, the direction is Guiyang.

The subordinates knew that this was an order from their superiors, and everyone did not ask any questions and prepared to evacuate.

Almost all the Japanese officers, and even the Japanese soldiers, knew that the Japanese army no longer had the strength to continue advancing towards Guiyang. Now, there are more and more territories, and there are no puppet armies in the territories along the way, only the allocation of imperial troops to occupy. As a result, there are fewer and fewer armies that can fight, and if you go any further, there will be no armies.

Moreover, everyone realized that the forces of the Imperial Japanese Army in South China were not enough to occupy such a large area. The lack of strength is due to the lack of food, ordnance, and supplies. If you fight again, there will not even be any supplies.

Now, the Chongqing government has adopted a scorched earth campaign, several important cities have been burned, and most of the urban people have fled. Now, most of the troops in Chongqing did not surrender, and they fled knowing that they could not fight. There were no prisoners, not even the Imperial Allied Army had no source.

Retreat.

Haifu Sanqianxiong knew that the next step would be to stabilize the occupation of Guangxi.

As soon as he left the county seat, the harassment of the guerrillas suddenly increased. As before, the guerrillas harassed along the way, and basically there was a burst of cold guns every ten minutes, and each cold shot could kill several people. The guerrillas fired one shot and ran away, never firing a second shot.

These guerrillas were clearly familiar with the terrain, they knew every ravine and chose the most favorable location for evacuation. The difference is that the county town was attacked only twice with shotguns, and this time, the weapons of the attack were American weapons, by 38 shots.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the troops had already walked out for more than 20 kilometers, and the terrain on both sides of the road began to steepen, and the hillsides and terraced fields were gone. The county seat of Dushan is in the river valley, and the terrain near the county seat is relatively flat and open, which is a flat dam. The terrain in the south of the county gradually changed from wide to narrow, and some terraced fields appeared on some hillsides.

After the occupation of Dushan County, the southbound railroad was destroyed. Because of the limited military strength, the army was not deployed in time to guard the railway, and five or six places were blown up. Who blew it up? It's those guerrillas again.

Those guerrillas are very strong and have been harassing all the way. They blew up the railroad several times. According to the sappers, the guerrillas used yellow explosives.

Guerrillas made of yellow explosives? It must have been given by the Americans.

The railway was broken, and not only did the follow-up troops no longer go north. A wing, consisting of only five or six hundred people, arrived at Dushan County. Even these five or six hundred people, the supplies can't keep up.

At present, there are three things lacking: food, salt, and clothing. The soldiers were cold, hungry, and in low spirits. In addition, there was suddenly no guerrilla harassment, and all of them were a little sleepy, because they had not slept well for a few days.

Haifu Sanchixiong, who was riding on the horse, didn't feel sleepy at all, and he felt that something was wrong. He's an old oilman, he has a lot of combat experience, and it doesn't feel right, it's definitely not right. What exactly is wrong, but I can't say.

This mountain at the junction of Guangxi and Guizhou is an excellent ambush battlefield in any place.

Thinking of this, Haifu Sanchixiong suddenly knew that something was wrong. The harassing guerrillas stopped harassing, it was abnormal. Now that we don't harass, it may be that they are trying to ambush us. According to intelligence, the guerrillas are from Yan'an, so they can completely use Yan'an's tactics. If that's the case, I don't even have a heavy weapon in my hand, and I might be wiped out.

At this moment, a red flare rose on the western hillside.

Flares! Great troops! Ambush!

Gunfire erupted on the hillsides on both sides.

At this time, a strange bullet pierced Haifu Sanchixiong's chest and exploded in the back.

Haifu Sanchio subconsciously looked at his chest, and a thought flashed through his mind: This is not a bullet from the 38 shots.

It was his last thought.

It is impossible for Fukukai Sanchio to see how his troops were destroyed.

Fukuhai's three thousand subordinates did not have to make any effort at all, and they could judge that the guerrillas in ambush were about two to three thousand people, and the weapons of the troops were chaotic, including American weapons, Japanese weapons, and so on, artillery, and weapons of the Northeast Coalition Army!

The guns on both sides were all platoon guns, bullets next to bullets, no matter how bad the weapons were, when a platoon of guns came down, dozens of people died. The second platoon of guns came down, and there were also more than two dozen casualties. There were ambushes on the slopes on both sides, and in the ravines, there was no one for the Japanese to hide.

After several rounds of shooting, the Japanese began to charge towards one side of the hill. The Japanese commanders were clever when they attacked only one side of the hill, and picked up the side with weaker firepower. Only in this way will they be able to get out of the situation of being beaten passively.

The ambushed guerrillas chose a very good place for the ambush, with roads and creeks on the side of the railway, and no terrain to cover up at all.

The charging troops, ignoring the bullets in the rear and only a few units for cover, came under grenade fire when they were about thirty meters from the ambush position.

The grenades were still dropped in rows. Some of the grenades were very powerful, apparently made in the United States.

The Japanese retreated.

In the first wave of battles, the Japanese lost more than 200 people at once.

The Japanese troops gathered on both sides of the railway were about to launch a second round of attacks, and artillery was fired on the hillside.

Only then did the Japanese commander realize that the shells just now were test fires, and now they were official shelling. The Japanese army no longer had the opportunity to laugh at the other side's unruly fighting, because the shelling was too accurate, and a large number of Japanese soldiers were killed. It stands to reason that the artillery should be shelled first, and then the infantry. In fact, they did not know that there was some inexperience in fighting a major battle in the troops, and another factor was the difficulty in transporting artillery in the mountains.

The shelling lasted several minutes, and a charge began on the slopes of the hills on both sides.

More than 100 people were killed and wounded in the shelling, and less than 200 remained. Sure enough, there were more than 2,000 rushing down from both sides. The Japanese got on the bayonets and prepared to fight the bayonets. At this time, the Japanese army and the guerrillas were in the final stage of the battle against the Chinese soldiers. Fighting bayonets can often win more with less and scare the opponent away.

At this time, the guerrillas who rushed down were fighting out of the usual way. The troops who came down had more than 20 submachine guns, and they were shooting while rushing, and the bullets were like a splash of wind, and when they were halfway there, those people changed their magazines, and the submachine guns continued to fire. When the two sides approached, the rest of the men with spears began to fight with bayonets.

The force of the submachine guns was too great, and dozens of people were killed and wounded. There are fewer left.

The victory or defeat of the bayonet was not expected, and the military strength of the two sides was more than ten fights, and within ten minutes, there was no one left, and they all fought to the death.

On December 5, Japanese planes reconnoitred and found the corpses of Japanese soldiers neatly placed on the side of the road.

December 6th. Dushan South.

The railroad was repaired, and the large army sent a train, several cars, to collect the bodies. As is customary, the guerrillas leave as soon as they fight, so the troops who come to collect the corpses concentrate all their energies on collecting the corpses.

The corpses were placed on a flat ground one or two hundred meters away from the railway, and the flat ground was surrounded by hillsides on three sides.

The Japanese soldiers who came to collect the body decided to take it back and cremate it in Hechi. This is the front line, and they are worried about the large troops sent by Chongqing in the north.

The first group carried the corpses back, and the second group walked to the flat ground and began to clean up the corpses. At this moment, the flat hillside on three sides gave an order and began to shoot.

This time the ambush battle was much easier to win, the ambush force gathered more than 3,000 people, and the Japanese army was not psychologically prepared at all, only the two heavy machine guns on the train were considered heavy weapons. There are no heavy weapons, there is little force in the counterattack, plus the troops that collect the corpses are not the main combat units, but transport units,

The battle lasted three hours, and all 500 Japanese troops were annihilated. Later, the more than 1,000 corpses were not taken away by the Japanese army.
