Chapter 532: The Ambush of the Troubled Stone Mountain

The Japanese troops on the east side of Xiaolongpo did not move, and Tong Guijie had no choice, so he couldn't send troops to go around behind the devil's ass to give him a look, which didn't directly frighten the devil and retreated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just when Noriichiro ordered the troops to rest tonight and break through the defense line of the New Fourth Army in Xiaolongpo early tomorrow morning, Yasushi Sakai in the west rushed to the foot of Guangde City with two wings of the 17th Division.

Who knew that the vanguard troops rushed all the way to the city of Guangde, and did not encounter decent resistance from the New Fourth Army, which made Sakai Yasu even more sure that Liu Tianshu had made up his mind to abandon the county seat of Guangde.

Therefore, he ordered a brigade that was in front to immediately enter the county seat of Guangde, and the main force of the division stopped in the area of Tangzhuang, west of Guangde City.

After the Japanese army entered the county town of Guangde, the puppet army and plainclothes team who followed the action immediately shouted everywhere in the city, asking the common people to hang up the plaster flag of the Japanese army, and elect representatives tomorrow morning to welcome the commander of the Imperial Japanese Army to the city.

As ordinary people in the war era, learning to cope with nature is an indispensable ability, and after the independent division recovered the county seat of Guangde, the education and guidance of the people in the city also emphasized not to forget that they are Chinese, but if the devil comes again, there is no need to fight with the devil, and we must learn to protect ourselves, as long as we do not betray the party organization and the New Fourth Army, naturally we are not traitors.

Moreover, among the ordinary people who were forced by the puppet army to organize and prepare to welcome Yasu Sakai, there were also some party members who were not exposed.

As for the party members and cadres in Guangde City who have been exposed in public, including their families, they have all withdrawn from the county seat ahead of schedule.

As early as when the independent division entered the county seat and established an anti-Japanese democratic regime, Jiang Jinyong, in accordance with Liu Tianshu's proposal, set up a set of open activity teams in Guangde County, and at the same time secretly set up a capable leading body, which would temporarily take charge of underground work once the devils captured the county seat.

Of course, there are not many people in this set.

Although Guangde County went down without a fight, Sakai Yasu was not much proud, on the contrary, his heart was full of dark clouds.

This is also the reason why the main force of his division did not enter the county seat of Guangde.

Sure enough, at ten o'clock in the evening, the New Fourth Army suddenly captured Xiangjia Town, and a squadron of the Zhongchuan Wing stationed in Xiangjia Town was wiped out after an hour of fierce fighting.

At this point, the retreat to the north of the Nakagawa Wing was cut off by the New Fourth Army.

After receiving the report, Yasu Sakai paced back and forth in the command post several times, and finally decided to order the Takagi Wing to move to the Yamaguchi Ridge south of the Goldfish Ridge overnight, in an effort to control the Yamaguchi to the south, and to receive the Nakagawa Wing south.

At four o'clock in the morning, the Takagi United successfully arrived at the mountain pass at the southern end of the Goldfish Ridge, and immediately set up a position in the appropriate position to prepare for the Nakagawa United to come out of the Goldfish Ridge.

At the same time, Sakai Yasu sent a telegram to the Jiangkou Wing, telling them to stay south of the Xiaoning River for the time being, and to meet the Japanese troops who crossed the lake in Suzhou tomorrow.

At this time, Sakai Yasu was clearly aware that it was very dangerous to pass through Liu Tianshu's base with the strength of a wing, especially north of Changxing and Guangde, and it was likely that Liu Tianshu's main force was hiding somewhere in it.

Although the New Fourth Army, which occupied Xiangjiazhen, was very strong in combat and had a large number of people, Sakai Yasu, based on intelligence and battlefield deduction, still judged that it should be the two main regiments of the 22nd Brigade of the Independent Division.

Now that Liu Tianshu's two main regiments of the 22nd Brigade have arrived in the north, where are the three main regiments of his 21st Brigade now?

If the New Fourth Army encountered by the Eguchi Wing was the main force of its 21st Brigade, Sakai Yasu did not believe it.

To say that before he fought with the Independent Division, he naturally believed that it was definitely the unit of Tong Guijie of the 21st Brigade of the Independent Division, but since the Fujiki Brigade was completely annihilated and the Jiangkou Wing lost nearly 1,000 people, he immediately understood that he had encountered a rare opponent, and if the 21st Brigade was targeting the Jiangkou Wing, then Jiangkou would lose more than nearly 1,000 people.

Therefore, Sakai Yasu has been wondering where the other troops in Tong Guijie's hands are. Staying in Changxing? Or Si'an? Or retreat to Tianmu Mountain?

At nine o'clock in the morning, Sakai Yasu, still under the strict protection of many Japanese soldiers, entered Guangde from the west gate in a car, facing the Chinese people who waved the sun flag in the middle of the road and shouted to welcome them weakly.

Since Guangde has been occupied, there is still a need for the entrance ceremony, after all, such a beautiful thing is also a great honor for himself to be published in the military newspaper by reporters.

Just as Yasushi Sakai put aside the troubles in his mind and entered the city in a car, Yelu commanded the troops, followed behind the puppet army, and launched a fierce attack on the position of the defenders of Xiaolongpo.

In this attack, Yelu concentrated all the artillery fire of his own troops, and at the same time invited planes to help in the battle, and after a round of indiscriminate bombardment of Xiaolongpo, a battalion of puppet troops launched a fierce charge at Xiaolongpo under the coercion of the officer, and the New Fourth Army guarding the ridge was finally repulsed and ran westward in embarrassment.

Knowing that the New Fourth Army in front was repulsed, Yelu was overjoyed and immediately commanded the troops to pursue while they were victorious.

The New Fourth Army, which had retreated in disarray, ran five miles westward, and when it was about to reach the rocky mountain, it suddenly turned to the south and rushed wildly into the mountains and forests.

When Yelu learned that the defeated New Fourth Army had dodged left and right and ran to the south, he ordered his troops to stop the pursuit and instead rushed murderously along the road in the direction of Changxing.

As for the terrain of the rocky mountain in front of it, the road does not pass through the rocky mountain, but through the hills on the north side of the rocky mountain.

That kind of terrain is not suitable for ambushes, because the terrain is relatively gentle, and although his troops have some casualties, there are now more than 1,800 people, and what makes Yelu even more confident is that the losses of the imperial soldiers are almost negligible.

More than a thousand well-equipped imperial soldiers, plus hundreds of puppet troops, the New Fourth Army does not have four or five thousand people, and it is impossible to eat it in one bite, besides, as long as they are attacked by the New Fourth Army, it is now daytime, and they can get reinforcements from the air force in less than an hour.

But Rao is like this, Yelu is still very careful, and the guards on both sides are placed a thousand meters away.

After Tong Guijie came out of Huzhou in Yelu, he knew from the arrangement of troops along the way that his people were very cautious, and naturally the troops who were ambushed in the area of the rocky mountains were all scattered very far away, except for the brigade special service battalion, which had four combat groups lurking not far from the road, the rest of the troops were all guarding in the mountains and forests one thousand meters away.

Seeing that the troops led by Ye Lu had entered his ambush circle, Tong Guijie had a confident smile on his face, and turned to Kang Shuidong to say a word of beginning.

Kang Shuidong picked up the phone and said to fire.

Six infantry guns and all mortars of the artillery regiment of the 21st Brigade suddenly launched an artillery attack on the enemy on the road, and at the same time, the troops arranged around immediately pressed towards the road with a loud shout, and the sound of a loud charge trumpet fluttered in the air.

Hearing the whistling of artillery shells in the sky, and at the same time the shouts of the New Fourth Army sounded all over the mountains, Yelu's face couldn't help but change, and under the protection of several of his subordinates, he quickly ran under a big rock, and at the same time, the Japanese troops around him quickly dispersed to both sides of the road, braving the explosions that kept sounding around him, and quickly prepared for battle.

It's a pity that Sun Fufu's puppet army didn't dare to compliment it, and the puppet army running in front heard the whistling sound of cannonballs in the sky, and was so frightened that they fell to the ground, letting the cannonballs continue to explode around them, and flew out one by one with their unlucky companions.

As for the hoarse shouts of those officers, they were naturally ignored by these soldiers at this time.

The artillery shells fired by the 21st Brigade of the New Fourth Army dealt a blow to the troops under the command of Ye Yusu, and countless Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers were blown out, and the entire sky was covered with gunsmoke, as well as flying stones and broken limbs of soldiers.

Under such heavy artillery fire, it was indeed very difficult to organize troops to resist effectively.

By the time the Yelu Brigade finally organized two squadrons, the New Fourth Army had already reached a place less than 500 meters from the road.

Yelu was in a hurry, and urgently ordered the infantry artillery units that followed the action to immediately brave the artillery fire to carry out a counterattack, but unfortunately at this time, his infantry artillery was all on the march, and there was still a process to switch to the combat state, and when these artillerymen were ready to brave the artillery fire and sacrifice to counterattack and suppress, the soldiers of the special service battalion lurking on both sides of the road, under the cover of the constant explosions, unhurriedly hunted the Japanese gunners, and many artillerymen were shot and fell to the ground before they could figure out what was going on.

In particular, the commander of the devil's artillery has become the object of attention, and in just five minutes, six commanders have fallen directly.

When he learned that his artillery had been attacked by bullets from nowhere and suffered heavy losses, Noritsu's face changed, his eyes continued to search on both sides of the road, and then he ordered grenadiers to bombard several suspicious targets on both sides of the road.

It is a pity that at this time, the New Fourth Army has rushed to both sides of the road, at this time, the shells in the sky no longer fly down, but the grenadiers and heavy machine guns of the New Fourth Army are fiercely hitting the road, especially the mortars that follow the New Fourth Army, directly blowing up the Japanese army's assembly attempt, as long as there are 30 devils close together, immediately there are shells flying over, as for the devil's grenadiers, heavy machine gunners, at this time also became the highest casualty rate of the troops.

Ye Lu couldn't help but feel dark when he saw that the New Fourth Army was just killing its heavy machine gunners, grenadiers, and artillerymen.

It seems that the independent division of the New Fourth Army really lives up to its reputation, and just looking at their attack, you can know how tacit cooperation there is.

Before he could sigh, the New Fourth Army had launched a fierce battle with the Japanese puppet army on the highway, and countless New Fourth Army troops were like sharp knives, sticking straight into the Japanese puppet army on the highway, and the bullets flew wildly like locusts, and the soldiers who were hit constantly let out screams of pain, and then fell to the ground.

Of course, the number of casualties of the New Fourth Army, which rushed up, also rose rapidly under the desperate counterattack of the Japanese army.

Fortunately, the Japanese army has been encircled, and it can be said that the beast is still trapped, and under the fierce attack of the New Fourth Army, the resistance is getting weaker and weaker. (To be continued.) )
