Chapter 176: Let's Make Another Contribution!
The defenders in the direction of Chunhua and Niushou Mountain were Major General Liu Guoyong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Guoyong was born in 1898 and was a major general and deputy brigade commander of the 174th Brigade of the 58th Division of the 74th Army. A native of Meixian County, Guangdong. Graduated from the third phase of the Infantry Department of the Whampoa Army Military Academy. Historically, on December 9, he fought fiercely with the Japanese army in the area of Niushou Mountain, and on December 13, 1937, he was martyred outside the Shuixi Gate with thousands of soldiers.
This time, he also had a defensive position in Niushou Mountain, which was also harassed by a small force, and it was also a large number of explosives. Because there were no trains, only infantry units were bombed.
This time, his troops were encouraged by Qi Xia's victory, and their morale was so high that the officers were not worried about the soldiers deserting at all.
However, he didn't bring many people, probably only about 200 people. The troops planted the explosives, covered the lead, and laid an ambush on the slopes on both sides of the valley.
The vanguard of the devils came, and there were five hundred of them.
Liu Guoyong had done a good job, so he was naturally confident, and when the first 50 or so people in front of him had passed the minefield, he gave an order, and all the explosives within three or four hundred meters exploded one after another. Liu Guoyong has watched the failure for so long, and now he sees so many devils who have died at once, he is very excited and calm.
The smoke of gunfire dissipated for a long time, and seeing that there had been no gunfire for such a long time, all those who had not died stood up and prepared to assemble. At this time, Liu Guoyong gave the order, and more than 200 people opened fire together. After a fierce battle for a long time, more than 50 remaining devils retreated, and the ambush army won a great victory.
The soldiers cheered, ran to the battlefield and began to rummage through the pockets of the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.
Liu Guoyong remembered Xiaolu's command and shouted: "Pick up weapons!" Pick up ammo! See if there is a radio station! "Xiaolu's order is that everyone can turn over their pockets, but they must collect supplies.
This time, everyone made a fortune, in addition to picking up a lot of gold and silver jewelry, everyone carried guns and ammunition, and returned with a full load.
Deserters reappeared. This time, with the acquiescence of several junior officers, they fled because they found some floating wealth in the Japanese. About 10 percent of the people who fled.
The way to retreat was arranged in advance, and halfway into the mountain, the scout reported to Liu Guoyong, and found the devil arranging an artillery position not far ahead.
Liu Guoyong listened and said, "Really? And this good thing? ”
Several subordinates also smiled and said, "When the field troops enter the artillery position, it is not a tiger entering the flock!" "The record of the immortal has aroused everyone's courage.
Liu Guoyong said: "I order, everyone put down the captured weapons, prepare more rifles and grenades, and quietly approach the devil's artillery position." Let's do one more thing! ”
Twenty minutes later, more than 200 people threw grenades together, and the explosion rang out.
As soon as the explosion ended, more than 200 people had already rushed into the position, and the remnants of the artillery scattered and fled, and the soldiers bravely pursued them.
Wang Laosan ran at the front with one of his classes this time. Just now, they didn't catch much oil and water in the valley because they were close to the chief, and this time they held back their strength, and they couldn't do it unless they fished enough.
After chasing and chasing, he broke away from the large army, and a small soldier said: "Squad leader, collect the troops." ”
Wang Laosan: "Look at the first three, there are goods on them." Kill it and go back. Get your guns ready, shoot! ”
As soon as Wang Laosan shouted out, he was hit by a bullet and fell. The devil army is coming. More than a dozen people hurriedly fell down and fought back.
According to the plan, Liu Guoyong retreated after the bombing, and led the soldiers to retreat quickly and return to the Yuhuatai position. Only then did I know that this time more than thirty cannons were blown up. A squad of soldiers fell in love with the enemy and perished with the enemy.
Xiaolu immediately issued the second battle report: "The first part of our army, under the personal leadership of Major General Liu Guoyong, ambushed the Japanese troops at Niushou Mountain, killing hundreds of devils and destroying twenty-four enemy artillery. More than 10 people, including Wang Laosan, a soldier of our army, killed more than 20 enemies and perished with the enemy. The specifics of the enemy's losses are being verified. Salute to Major General Liu Guoyong and his subordinates, and pay tribute to the martyrs. China will not give in. ”
The troops attacking in the direction of Tangshan were Luo Cequn.
Luo Cequn, born in 1893, is a major general and deputy commander of the 159th Division of the 66th Army. A native of Xingning, Guangdong. Graduated from the sixth phase of the Baoding Army Military Academy. On the night of December 12, in order to cover the 83rd Army from Guangdong, he personally led the remnants of the entire division to die with 2,000 soldiers in the Purple Mountain.
The 800 people led by Luo Cequn lay in ambush on the slope of Tangshan Mountain, the terrain is two mountains and one river, and the road passes through the mountains and rivers. This kind of ambush battle was something that Major General Luo Cequn had not fought at all, so he had to personally participate in it, and his command position was on the top of the mountain.
The moment he gave the battle order, the explosives on the road exploded together, and the hundreds of meters long team of devils were blown up together. Then, the soldiers on both sides of the road fired their guns and rifles together, and the devils below had no way to hide in the terrain at all, and they were killed one by one.
The devils braved the bullets to charge, but unfortunately, their opponent's guns were made in Germany, with a fast rate of fire and enough bullets, and they died before they could rush to the position.
Luo Cequn did not understand why he retreated after the victory, but he retreated anyway.
Twenty minutes after they retreated, a large army of devils arrived, only looking at the corpse of a squadron on the ground, there was no way, charging towards the slopes on both sides, and as a result, not a single ambush was found.
After Luo Cequn retreated to the rear of the Purple Mountain position, he reported the battle situation to Xiaolu by phone. Xiaolu paid tribute to his predecessors, and then issued the No. 3 battle report: "Under the leadership of Major General Luo Cequn, the first part of our army ambushed the enemy in Tangshan, and completely annihilated a squadron of the enemy's vanguard on the ground, and our army suffered only ten casualties. Salute to the heroes! China will not give in. ”
At this point, the officers tasted the sweetness and asked to come a few more times, but they were vetoed by Xiaolu. Let's be honest about positional warfare.
Why?
The Japanese are pigs, and they can still understand how to prevent falling into the trap. This method does not work.
In order to prevent an ambush, the devils will release scouts on the slopes on both sides, and they will also reconnoiter and shoot on both sides, and they will be cautious when they reach dangerous terrain, and the places suitable for ambushes near Nanjing have been ambushed, so this method does not work.
These ambushes made the Japanese troops advance much more cautiously, and after repeated searches, they passed through the area where there might be an ambush. Several areas near Nanjing are in full swing for final renovations.
In the traffic trench, the soldiers worked hard to dig their own cat ear holes, and no one knew why they were called cat ear holes. But one thing is clear, this thing can save lives, and everyone digs it up very seriously.

But one thing is clear, this thing can save lives, and everyone digs it up very seriously.
Looking at these zigzag trenches, the positions in the east and the west, the front and the rear fronts, no one knows if this thing will work, and some people even suspect that the people behind will shoot and hit the ass of the people in front.
Suspicion is suspicion, because of the previous victories, these people have some trust in Xiaolu, and some even begin to blindly follow.
