Chapter 387 Seiichiro Shinohara: He was surprised
Liu Tianshu's kraft candy tactics made Senmu suffer enough. www.biquge.info A platoon of the reconnaissance squad under his command and a platoon commanded by Zhou Aiguo surrounded Senmu's troops like shadows, and either two shells suddenly flew or a burst of bullets, and when Senmu ordered the troops to counterattack, these New Fourth Army turned around and ran, and they could not catch up at all. When his troops stopped the pursuit and continued to retreat towards Majiaji, the New Fourth Army pounced on them like a wolf.
Each attack would take the lives of three or five Imperial troops or Imperial Allies, and those Imperial Allies were so frightened that they shrank into a ball and fled forward for their lives.
When it was dark, Sen Mu and his troops finally withdrew to Majiaji, which was blown into ruins, and when the statistical losses were delivered to him, he almost didn't lose his breath.
In an afternoon's retreat, the Imperial soldiers alone lost as many as twenty-five people, and with the Imperial Army, the strength of the two platoons was exhausted.
Thinking of the sweep he organized, and finally ended up with a gray end of losing his armor and abandoning his armor, Mori Mu really wanted to cry without tears. However, when night came, he was more worried that the New Fourth Army would launch a night attack, so he had to order the troops to camp in Majiaji, and at the same time order the troops to occupy the surrounding high ground and prepare for a night attack by the New Fourth Army.
Liu Tianshu led his troops all the way to Majiaji, and after seeing that the enemy was receiving reinforcements from Majiaji's devils, he ordered the troops to return to Sujiatang overnight.
An afternoon of attack battle, although Senmu's troops were miserable, and they lost dozens of lives, but the reconnaissance company was also very tired, and Liu Tianshu still knew that he would accept this when he saw it.
Anyway, after this battle, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company should have greatly improved both in terms of attack skills and combat concepts. It can be said that the reconnaissance company has received very good training in actual combat, especially the two snipers, Hu Yezhuan and Zheng Guangdong, and the bullets fired on this day can be compared with the bullets they fired during the past two months of training.
By this time, their arms were extremely sore, but the two of them were already proud and happy when they thought of their achievements.
Of course, their combat achievements are still a lot worse than those of the regiment commander, but the regiment commander said that the task of sniping at the enemy's important targets in future battles will mainly fall on them.
As a regimental commander, you can't be on the front line as a sniper in every battle.
At dawn, the reconnaissance company finally returned to Sujiatang, but as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw political commissar Guo Sizhong, deputy head Liu and others standing at the edge of the village waiting anxiously, and when they saw a group of people appearing in the field of vision, they hurriedly greeted them.
Seeing that Liu Tianshu in the team looked a little tired, but with good arms and legs, Guo Sizhong and Deputy Head Liu finally let go of their hanging hearts.
"Commander, you're back, we're all worried about death." Guo Sizhong looked at Liu Tianshu and said sincerely.
"Hehe, my commissar, what's there to worry about, you see, didn't I come back safely? Let's go back to the village. Liu Tianshu smiled disappreciatively, and then returned to the regiment headquarters amid everyone's cheers.
In this counter-sweep, the 16th Regiment can be said to have achieved brilliant results, not only destroying more than 700 enemies, but also seizing a large amount of materials, and more importantly, smashing Senmu's sweep of Sujiatang and Sanguba. 、
Now there are three captured devil low-power radio stations in the regiment, but there is no telegrapher, and it is not possible to get in touch with the detachment, but Guo Sizhong has asked the traffic officer to send the battle situation to the detachment headquarters in Ludong.
"Regiment commander, not to mention how happy these two battles were, you see, this capture is enough for us to form another battalion, and besides, Senmu has suffered such a big loss, do you dare to attack my base area?" Deputy Regiment Commander Liu looked at the statistics of the results in his hand, and his heart blossomed.
"Yes, in less than two hours, the Yokono squadron was wiped out, and the devil will never dare to invade my base area on the scale of a squadron in the future." Guo Sizhong also said with emotion.
Finishing off the Majiaji Artillery Tower, although the devil suffered a big loss, relatively speaking, he still completely annihilated the Yokono squadron, which shocked the devil even more.
"Political Commissar, Deputy Head Liu, the sweep of the devils has been crushed by us for the time being, and it is foreseeable that the devils will not be able to invade our base area in a short time, I think we should shift the focus of our work to the construction of the base area next. Although our base area is still very small, we must start to arrange some tasks, such as the formation of militias and party organizations in various villages, the allocation of local cadres, and so on. As for the troops, I think the third battalion can be converted into a combat unit, come, you see, this is Sanguba, this is Sujiatang, this is Banqiaoji, in this way, the first battalion is stationed in Sujiatang to prevent the enemy from the east from invading our base area, the second battalion is stationed at Sanguba to prevent the enemy from attacking the base area in the west, the third battalion is stationed in Banqiaoji to deal with the enemy in the south, the regimental headquarters is located in Wangjiadian Village, the reconnaissance company, the machine gun company, the logistics office, the health team, etc., are stationed together with the regimental headquarters, in addition, the captured imperial alliance army must be screened as soon as possible. Try to mobilize those who are honest and do their duty to join our New Fourth Army. Preparations for the rapid formation of the fourth battalion. What do you two think of this? Liu Tianshu said his thoughts in one breath, and then looked at Guo Sizhong and Deputy Head Liu.
Guo Sizhong and Deputy Head Liu looked at each other, nodded and said, "Okay, I think I will do what Head Liu said." ”
After Sujiatang held a commendation meeting for the victory of the anti-sweep, the second battalion immediately moved to Sanguba, the third battalion moved to Banqiaoji, and the regimental headquarters quickly moved to Wangjiadian.
At the same time, according to Liu Tianshu's arrangement, a field telephone was laid between the regimental headquarters and the three main battalions.
During the battle, Liu Tianshu asked the soldiers to pay attention to the seizure of communication equipment and medical equipment, especially in the stronghold of Majiaji, where the devil's spare field telephone line equipment was found, which made Liu Tianshu a little overjoyed.
After the units were in place, in accordance with Liu Tianshu's instructions, each battalion should send squads and platoons as units to the devil's defense area for actual combat training, and Liu Tianshu also gave the three battalion commanders a great choice of fighters, but Liu Tianshu made it clear that when the cadres of each company and battalion were fighting, they must strictly abide by the regulations on pre-war reconnaissance, foresee all possible situations, and have a plan for dealing with them. Whoever had suffered heavy casualties in his troops, he asked the military commander.
Tong Guijie and Xie Pingcai both fought with the regiment commander, and after knowing the regiment commander's style of commanding the battle, after leading the troops to block one side, they also began to set up a reconnaissance platoon in the battalion, and at the same time found out the soldiers with shooting talent in the battalion, and asked Hu Yezhuan and Zheng Guangdong to help train when they were available.
They have seen the important role of snipers on the battlefield, you know, in the past, when fighting devils, the most headache was the devil's grenadiers and machine gunners, and their own troops suffered losses, many of which were losses.
Liu Tianshu handed over to Deputy Regiment Commander Liu the Imperial Association and some enthusiastic youths who had volunteered to join the New Fourth Army, and asked him to conduct preliminary training in queues and basic military theory, while he himself trained eight students who had just arrived in the base area in sending and receiving newspapers. At this time, the telegram code for contacting the detachment headquarters had been retrieved, and at the same time the detachment headquarters sent two female telegraphers.
However, according to Liu Tianshu's idea, after training these eight new students, let them serve as newspaper operators in each battalion, so that when fighting in the future, the regiment headquarters can keep abreast of the situation of each battalion.
Of course, the radio code used within the 16th Regiment was not the same set of passwords used to contact the detachment headquarters, but a set that Liu Tianshu took the time to rewrite.
Just when Liu Tianshu was busy training troops in the Luxi development base area, the Japanese headquarters in Anqing received a telegram from the North China Front transferred by the Japanese headquarters in Central China, the content of which was about Liu Tianshu.
Shinohara Seiichiro, commander of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Anqing, couldn't help frowning when he saw the documents sent by the staff officer, he didn't expect that Liu Tianshu, the commander of the 16th Regiment of the Fifth Detachment of the New Fourth Army, who ran to the east of Hefei, would be so famous in North China, no wonder the Senmu Brigade in Linshan County suffered such a big loss in his hands.
The person who can make the Sakai mixed brigade of the North China Front fall over the big heels is definitely a respectable opponent, and Moriki is a small brigade of troops, and it is divided into three ways to sweep, and it is fortunate that he has not been eaten by others to even the bones.
Thinking of this, he called the confidential secretary and asked him to immediately contact the commander of the 130th Infantry Brigade, Tadaji Miura. As soon as the phone was connected, Seiichiro Shinohara, who turned the intelligence department of the North China Front Army to Liu Tianshu, briefed him on the situation and told the 138th Wing of the 130th Infantry Brigade to be careful of the 16th Regiment of the Fifth Detachment of the New Fourth Army, saying that the commander of the 16th Regiment, Liu Tianshu, was definitely a dangerous person, and asked the 138th Wing not to easily launch an attack on the New Fourth Army at Sujiatang and Sanguba.
The Central China Front's current focus was to launch the Battle of Changsha, and the main task of the 116th Division was to ensure the security of the Anqing line between Nanjing and Wuhan. In order to ensure the safety of the Yangtze River route and the logistics and transportation routes, it is not appropriate to dispatch troops at this time to encircle and suppress the New Fourth Army that is alive in the west of the road.
Although Shinohara Seiichiro learned that Liu Tianshu was a dangerous person registered in the North China Front Army, and if he could successfully kill or capture Liu Tianshu alive, he would definitely cause a sensation in the imperial military circles, but he still resisted the urge to send troops to encircle and annihilate Liu Tianshu's 16th Regiment.
After all, Liu Tianshu had a record of forcing back a mixed brigade of the Japanese army in Shandong, although from the intelligence point of view, the troops in his hands had two main regiments at that time, but this was also inseparable from his cunning and difficulty.
Now, although the strength of Liu Tianshu's 16th Regiment cannot be compared with the new 2nd Regiment in Shandong, even if he dispatches the 130th Wing, he may not be able to eat the 16th Regiment in one bite.
On the contrary, if there is a problem with the logistics and transportation line that he is responsible for guarding, I am afraid that the base camp will take it by himself. (To be continued.) )
