Chapter 220: Shanghai 13
"Hey, we'll go right away." The middle-aged man and the rotten egg listened to Daddy Li's words, spread their feet and ran away.
"This damn Japanese coward, I hope I won't harm Tianjia Village!" Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving quickly, Daddy Li put his crutches on the ground and walked briskly towards home. It's not safe to go home, but it's better than not having a place to hide. There is still some wealth at home, if the Japanese army dares to rob it, live a handful of years, and fight with the Japanese army for this old life, it will not be a loss in this life.
In fact, Daddy Li's worries are a little redundant, this Japanese army is a brigade drawn from the Japanese 24th mixed brigade, Yuan Xiong Mi, detoured back to Beixinjing to attack Jiang Wenhao mixed into the 4th brigade, and responded to the landing of the 11th Division, the 11th Division fought all night in Liuhe, and the landed troops were never able to exceed two wings under the fierce battle with the mixed 4th brigade, and the soldiers were quickly consumed. Don't look at the fact that the Japanese army seems to have the upper hand now, Shirakawa Yoshinori, who replaced Kenkichi Ueda, also has a feeling of being roasted on the fire at this time, attacking Mukden City and changing its master, those commanders who have been withdrawn will undoubtedly be labeled as incompetent, as the commander who took office, Shirakawa Yoshinori is now only in his early fifties, and the road ahead is still very long, so he naturally does not want to leave such a stain in his military career. So he sent the Daoheng Xiaoqing brigade to make a detour.
"General, general, I'm from Tianjia Village. Half an hour ago, a large group of Japanese troops passed by our village. The middle-aged man rode a horse and ran towards the position of the 19th Route Army, but the march and battle, the layout of the army was secret, and the movement of the battle would not let some ordinary people know, and the middle-aged man did not expect that the 19th Route Army did not find it, but ran into the three battalions drawn from Zhou Xiong's regiment that Jiang Wenhao also sent out to cover the flanks. Although Jiang Wenhao was promoted quite quickly. But the experience of fighting with the Japanese army can definitely rank among the top few in the entire Republic of China. As soon as the mixed 4th Brigade arrived at Liuhe, fighting the same as the Japanese army, Jiang Wenhao drew troops to fill the loopholes in the two flanks.
"How many Japanese soldiers are there?" Zhou Xiong asked in a deep voice.
"It's what Daddy Li in our village saw, there are about a thousand people!" The middle-aged man said urgently.
"How far did your village get here half an hour ago?" Zhou Xiong then asked a few more crucial questions, and the surroundings were flat. They are all rice paddies with ditches and ditches. There are no conditions for an ambush, and I am afraid that there is not much time to find the terrain for the battle.
Zhou Xiong estimated the walking speed of ordinary Japanese soldiers, even if the middle-aged man was riding a horse, it was estimated that the Japanese army was not too far from here.
After walking for a few miles, he saw a wood, Zhou Xiong's eyes lit up, this is a good place, hide the army in the woods, and fight a surprise attack by the Japanese army.
But just when Zhou Xiong was about to take his subordinates to drill into the mulberry forest. Dozens or hundreds of birds broke through the forest, as if frightened, and then an endless stream of birds rushed out one after another.
"Tuanza, the situation in the forest doesn't seem normal." The deputy next to him whispered, and Zhou Xiong also squinted his eyes and looked at the forest in front of him, there was no noise in the forest, but birds kept flying out.
"Damn, I must have let the Japanese soldiers see our march first. It seems that I will have to borrow a few people from the special operations team from the brigade, and if it weren't for those flat-haired animals who reminded me this time. If you don't keep it, you'll suffer a big loss. Later, the mortars are ready to be blown up first, and I want to see if the Japanese army is willing to stay in this forest all the time. Zhou Xiong sneered and immediately ordered.
"Why didn't the people leave!" Daoheng Xiaoqing saw that the Chinese army in front of him stopped advancing, and almost had a heart attack. The machine guns were already in place, and the grenadiers in hand were ready to step forward at any time to suppress the machine guns of the Chinese army. But I didn't expect these people to stop at a safe distance. Machine gun step, grenadier can't be constructed.
Several other Japanese squadron leaders also had an ominous premonition in their hearts, seeing that a great victory was close at hand and slipped away from the edge. After fighting with the 19th Route Army and the 5th Army for so long, Daoheng Xiaoqing knew how difficult it was for the Chinese Army in Shanghai to fight. Often, even if a unit is inflicted with heavy casualties, not a single army is seen fleeing. There are 1,000 or more people in the Zhina army in front of him, and even if they kill all the opponents in a tough battle, I am afraid that there will not be much left of their own brigade. It really makes people pee urgently.
Tom tom ......
"Yaga, the people of China have opened fire, they have found out! Dodge! Dao Heng Xiaoqing and other Japanese soldiers suddenly changed their complexions. Although they didn't know how the enemy found them, they could naturally react to why the enemy suddenly stopped halfway when they heard this sound.
The reaction of the Japanese army was not unpleasant, but it was no faster than the shells. Dozens of shells were fired into the woods, and if it weren't for the heavy humidity of Shanghai, the woods would not be easy to ignite, and the fire caused by the shelling alone could have forced these Japanese troops out of the woods.
Of course, the current situation is not good, although the woods provide them with concealment, but now it is not an ancient battle, and the soldiers hidden in the woods cannot shoot in the back. Even the grenadiers are greatly affected, and the grenades that can't be fired can hit the branches and explode, so the fun will be great. Machine guns could also only be placed on the edge of the woods.
Dao Heng Xiaoqing quickly made the wisest choice and pulled the troops out, and now there was no better way than to confront the enemy on the opposite side. Otherwise, if the firepower cannot be unleashed, there will only be a share of beatings.
"Finally reluctant." Zhou Xiong sneered, and almost fell into the way of the Japanese army, fortunately, the one who led the way said in advance that there were Japanese soldiers, and he had a heart when he saw this forest just now, otherwise it would be really dangerous.
Boom...... The regimental small-caliber mortars mixed into the 4th Brigade were not less than those of the Japanese army, and at this time they took advantage of the sudden launch, and the artillery fire blew up the periphery of the woods, and from time to time you could hear the screams of the Japanese troops inside, and there was a commotion of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
Airplanes......
There was a roar in the air.
Grass! Zhou Xiong scolded in a low voice, it was a Japanese reconnaissance plane, if he waited for this plane to fly back, I am afraid that the Japanese bombers would soon come here.
"Kill it!" Seeing that the reconnaissance plane coated with the plaster flag turned its head and flew back, Zhou Xiong had a gloomy face and gave an order with great reluctance, under such circumstances, it was obviously impossible to retreat in a hurry. The Japanese army would not let them go easily, and the flanks of the mixed 4th brigade could not be directly exposed to the Japanese troops. Relatively speaking, rushing into the woods and fighting the Japanese army with real swords and guns is much stronger than being bombed by Japanese planes in broad daylight, and after fighting with the Japanese army in Mukden for so long, no one in the entire Republic of China knows the power of those big birds better than the 15th Route Army.
