The one hundred and twenty-third Battle of Xiping

The devil's wing stationed in Chongyang Town has been beaten by the 4th and 5th battalions and fled, heading towards Highway 1, just falling into the ambush circle of the reconnaissance battalion in Xishan Chudao, the devil was once again beaten back to Chongyang Town, Duan Louyun immediately followed the pursuit, and trapped the remnants of a wing of the Murakami Division in Chongyang Town. At this time, the remnants of the Gufu Brigade and the devils in Chongyang Town were camped like ham in a sandwich; 4 battalions; 5 battalions; The reconnaissance battalion was squeezed on the projectile position in Chongyang Town, but they could not be connected to each other.

As soon as the dawn was revealed, the National Youth League began to launch a full-scale attack on the Murakami Division, and the Xiping position; The sound of the military horn of the National Youth League resounded in Chongyang Town, and the Murakami Division did not expect that they would be surrounded by the National Youth League overnight, and the main force of the National Youth League seemed to have fallen from the sky.

Murakami's troops at Xiping were 1 battalion; Battalion; independent columns; Teaching columns; The cavalry company had a total of eight battalions and a company of nearly 10,000 strong soldiers, and the battle was like a mountain, and all the defense lines collapsed at once, plus the cavalry company rushed into Murakami's command position from the flank, and the shouts of the soldiers of the National Youth League on the battlefield seemed to come from all directions.

Kutengi's face was full of dirt, and he rushed into Murakami's headquarters with a pistol in his hand, and shouted in frustration: "Your Excellency! We're done! The Murakami Division is over! Soldiers poured in from all directions. ”

Murakami Sanqiu still had a glimmer of hope at this time, that is, Chongyang's Gufu Brigade destroyed the Zhina people who attacked Chongyang, and they could kill them and fight a bloody way for their division, but he didn't know that the battle in Chongyang ended earlier than the battle in the Xiping position, but the battle was not as Murakami Sanqiu imagined, and the Gufu brigade and a wing were all wiped out in Chongyang Town in more than two hours.

At this time, there were already in Chongyang Town; The 4th and 5th battalions are cleaning up the battlefield, Zhao Meng and Zheng Hu; The three of Jiangnan were all waiting for Shaofan's next order.

Zhao Meng smiled: "I didn't expect Shaofan to make such a strange move!" The devil never thought that a division in the village would be dumplings made by us like this. ”

"Haha......" Zheng Hu said: "The key is that the pioneers in Jiangnan play well." Fast; Vicious; Accurately, he stared at the key points of the devil and went to fight for more than half an hour, and the commander of the Gufu brigade was taken by them with his direct company. ”

Jiang Nan smiled: "Hey! I'm also a blind cat who met a dead mouse and blinded me. ”

"How else would I call you Lao Jiang a lucky general!" Duan Louyun walked in from outside, glanced at it, and said with astonishment: "Drink!" Canned beef from devils. You're just going to enjoy it! Duan Louyun patted the smoke of the battlefield on his body, sat down at once, and did not politely talk to the three battalion commanders, picked up the chopsticks and ate the fierce sea.

Zheng Hu helped Duan Louyun get a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Old Duan! You've been hungry for a few days. ”

Duan Louyun said: "Our reconnaissance camp is a chore. Nesting in the woods on both sides of the West Mountain Chu Road is a whole day without rice water. ”

Jiang Nandao: "You don't pretend to be poor in front of our door!" We've already prepared the trophies of your scout battalion for you. And your ......" and took out a tin box.

Duan Lou Yunyan quickly looked at it and grabbed it: "Drink!" Cigar! Good stuff. Ay! You devils are pretty good at it, too. ”

Just then, a correspondent ran in and said, "Report! Regimental command! He handed over several orders to the four battalion commanders.

As soon as everyone saw the order, they immediately pulled out and went to gather their troops and go in the designated direction, Zheng Hu said as he walked: "I saw that Shaofan wanted to cut off one of Kawagishi Bunzaburo's arms. ”

At the temporary headquarters of the National Youth League, Shaofan held a cup of hot tea in his hand and said: "No! I'm not just going to chop off one of Kawagishi's arms, but two. ”

"Two?" Blocking the sky and putting it aside, he looked at Shaofan suspiciously, "Not bad!" Shaofan took a sip of hot tea and put the cup heavily on the table, looking at the map, his eyes fell on the map's Bauhinia Gate.

In Chongyang Town, the troops of the four battalions of the National Youth League were divided into east and west directions, and the long procession fluttered the 'school song of the Whampoa Military Academy' that they loved to sing, and the four battalion commanders each rode a tall horse and staggered a few times in the center of the town, forming a row.

Duan Louyun looked at Chongyang Town and said, "I don't know if the history of the future will be recorded in today's World War." Will the descendants of Chongyang still know that there is such a battle? ”

Zhao Meng said with a smile: "It is our will to kill the enemy and serve the country, and it does not need to be praised by future generations. ”

"Not bad! Our stories will be left in this town. Zheng Hu looked into the distance.

Jiang Nan said with emotion on the side: "We don't need to remember the living, but we have to make the dead heroes immortal." ”

"Yes!" Duan Louyun said: "Let's write brilliant on the road in the future." ”

After each of them sighed, the four of them said to each other to take care of themselves and rode away, and the troops on the corner of Henan were marching towards the new battlefield, and the battlefield behind them became a piece of history.

The sound of hurried leather boots came from the corridor of the joint headquarters of the three divisions of the Japanese army in Xixia County, and Yoshito Takagi hurried to the command office with a telegram in his hand.

At this time, Kawagishi Bunzaburo was discussing with Kitaoka Yoshino a plan to rescue Murakami's Sanqiu Division, Kitaoka Yoshino looked at the map and said, "It seems that we have fallen for Shen Shaofan." There is no main force of the National Youth League in Xiping, and in my opinion, Xiping is the strength of a column of the National Youth League. ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo lowered his head and said, "Not bad! in Xiping; in Chongyang; On Highway 1, the main force of the National Youth League appeared for a time, which is impossible, but the Xiping front; It is a fact that Murakamijun's division in Chongyang Town was surrounded by the National Youth League, and it is also a fact that the Sishan Pass on Highway No. 1 was blocked by the National Youth League, and the National Youth League had to remove artillery for a total of more than 30,000 people; It is unlikely that the non-combatants of the engineers and logistics will be in Xiping Town; Xiping Front; Chongyang Town; Four main forces of the National Youth League appeared in the four places of Sishan Pass at the same time. It seems that we have fallen for the National Youth League's plan to delay the army. ”

Kitaoka Yoshino said on the side: "I fought with Shen Shaofan in Shanghai, this person is good at fighting, it is not easy to be seen, his true intentions are not easy to see, and the National Youth League is good at marching and detouring, it is difficult for us to find out their direction." I guess they're waiting for us somewhere! ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo looked at the map and said, "Where will they be waiting for us?" ”

Kitaoka Yoshino said: "If I were Shen Shaofan, I would definitely set up an ambush in Xishan Chu Dao, and then withdraw from the blocking troops of Sishan Pass to lure me into Xishan Chu Dao." ”

Just as they hesitated, Yoshito Takagi rushed into the office and said, "The telegram of 'Gone With'. ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo immediately took it and said excitedly: "God help Yamato!" ”

Kitaoka Yoshino looked at Kawagishi Bunzaburo's originally gloomy and misty face, and suddenly showed joy and asked, "What can make Kawagishi-kun smile?" ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo said: "Yoshino-kun has made you right, part of the main force of the National Youth League is setting up an ambush in Xishan Chudao to prepare to ambush and rescue the troops of the Murakami Sanqiu Division, and Shen Shaofan's regimental headquarters is in Wangjiahe. This is the best time to eliminate the National Youth League and Shen Shaofan, Shen Shaofan has deployed all his troops in the area of Xiping and Xishan Chudao, and Wangjiahe is now empty of troops. ”

Kitaoka Yoshino heard this, "What are we going to do next?" ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo said: "Yoshino-kun! Haven't you always wanted to take revenge on the battlefield in Shanghai? Today, I will let you go to avenge the revenge with one arrow, and you will immediately lead a surprise attack on Wangjiahe. ”

Kitaoka Yoshino finally waited for this day, and said with a murderous smile on his face: "Hi! ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo said: "Takagi-kun asked your team to launch the most fierce attack on the National Youth League at Terayama Pass, and it is important to break through Terayama Pass this evening." ”

"Hey!" Yoshito Takagi smiled knowingly.

After Kitaoka Yoshino and Yoshito Takagi all left, Kawagishi Bunzaburo looked at the map proudly and said to himself: "Shen Shaofan! I want you to be buried in Wangjiahe. ”

On the battlefield of Sishan Pass at ten o'clock in the afternoon, a sparrow was jumping happily on the calm trench and loose soil, and a young soldier lay in the trench and looked at the sparrow with a smile on his face.

The whistling of shells in the distance came and heard a man in the trench shouting: "Enemy artillery attack!" Hide, everyone! "Then there was flying sand and rocks on the position; The flames are blazing.

A cannonball exploded right next to the sparrow, and the young warrior was shaken open by a wave of air and slammed against the wall of the trench, and then the sound began to blur in his ears, and with it, the scene in front of him began to blur.

"Hey! Are you okay? The young warrior was shaken down by the white dragon, and the warrior straightened his helmet and shouted: "Battalion commander! I'm fine. ”

"Good! Cheer up. The white dragon patted the young warrior and shouted, "Brothers, cheer me up, as long as we hold the position for a while longer, the devil will be finished sooner rather than later." ”

"Battalion commander! The devil seems to have reinforcements. "The company commander of the 1st Company ran over.

When Bai Long saw that the devil's artillery fire was indeed several times more fierce than just now, and the devil's truck under the mountain was driving over one after another from not far away, Long said: "Damn! The devil is determined to gnaw us away. ”

The 1 company commander hurriedly asked, "Battalion commander, what should we do now?" ”

Bai Long looked around and found that there was a group of devils occupying the position on the left, pulling the commander of the 1st company and saying: "You immediately take your people to grab the position on the left for me, intercept the devils' reinforcement trucks, and don't let them go to the front." ”

"Yes!" The commander of the 1st Company shouted, "The 1st Company comes with me!" ”

Bai Long saw that he had an order: "Pull up the direct company for me." ”

"Dragon!" Chu Huaiyue heard it and said, "There will be no reserves if the direct company is pulled up!" ”

The white dragon was already red-eyed at this time and shouted: "I can't care so much!" All of them use it. Go! You go and ask the regiment headquarters what we are going to do next? "With the white dragon* a heavy machine gun, he joined the battle.

Chu Huaiyue responded and ran towards the headquarters without dodging artillery fire and bullets, and as soon as he entered the headquarters, he shouted: "Send a telegram to the regiment headquarters to request instructions for the next step." ”

The Takagi Division is not a general, the ace brigade of the division regiment, the Lingqiu Yishilang Brigade has strong firepower and a group of well-trained and very fanatical soldiers, as well as dozens of light, heavy, near and far cannons, and was blocked by the special battalion of the National Youth League in the Sishan Pass for two days, and there was no place for an evil fire in the stomach, and when he saw the arrival of a large number of reinforcements from the division, he wanted to destroy the Zhina army on their heads in one fell swoop, Lingqiu Yishi ordered his troops to fight to the death, and the devils did the same to the position of the white dragon. They went forward one after another, and seemed to be not afraid of pain and death at all, but just blindly rushed towards the position of the special service battalion.

The 1st Company of the Special Service Battalion rushed up the hill on the left and charged, and after a charge, drove the few devils on the hillside down the hill in one go, and immediately organized a relatively strong defensive line to block all the follow-up troops supporting the Lingqiu Brigade at the bottom of their mountain. The equipment of the special service battalion is mainly light and flexible, and after several major battles, it has gradually transformed into a configuration with stronger firepower, but it is still inferior to the ace brigade of the Takagi Division, and the soldiers in the special service battalion have high military quality and good marksmanship, so they have thwarted the devil's many attacks, especially on the left side of the hill, and the horse slope has become the main target of the two armies at this time.

The special battalion had to hold the hillside to block the follow-up troops of the devil, and erected a blocking line between the reinforcements and the Lingqiu brigade, Lingqiu Yishilang naturally knew that the horse slope was the key to opening the reinforcements, so he seized the time to storm the horse slope, but several strong attacks failed, and there was no effect. The 1st Company was firmly nailed to the slope of the horse like a nail. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Yoshito Takagi ordered his troops to attack with all his might, and the large artillery roared towards the hillside, and suddenly the hillside was plunged into a sea of fire, and then the devil rushed towards the hillside like a tide. After several brutal charges and counter-charges, the combat effectiveness of the 1st Company was left with more than a hundred people.

When Bai Long saw that the 1st Company really couldn't hold on, he shouted: "Blow the trumpet!" "The trumpet has always been loud, and all the warriors have attacked the devil's camp like tigers in the mountains, and the two armies have been mixed together and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

As soon as Shen Shaofan moved from Xiping to Wangjiahe, he urged the telegraph operator to contact the spy company, and Shen Shaofan was pacing back and forth in the commander's general heart, with a gloomy look on his face.

"Tuanza! Telegraph from the Terayama Pass position. A telegraph operator shouted.

Shen Shaofan hurriedly took the telegram and said with a sigh of relief: "Okay! It seems that the devils are also playing with each other. Get in touch with Bauhinia Pass and order them to enter the position within four hours. ”

At this time, a staff officer beside Shaofan said: "Tuanza! We have already made contact with Bauhinia Pass, and the 4th Battalion and the Reconnaissance Battalion from Chongyang will not be able to enter their positions until this evening, and the fighting at the Xiping position will take two hours to end, and the Battalion and the 5th Battalion have joined the battle to clear out the remnants of the enemy. ”
