Chapter 58: The Battle of the Bright Light III

In late March, in the northeast of Anhui Province, spring is still cold, and a sleet has just fallen, making the roads even more muddy.

In the middle of the night, a large army appeared on the path leading from Chuxian to Mingguang. This unit was wearing yellow military uniforms and carrying Type 38 rifles, and the paint on the steel helmets on the heads of some soldiers fell off, and the ☆ type on them reflected the cold light in the starlight, matching the murderous aura of this group of soldiers.

This is the two-cornered detachment that rushed to Mingguang, in the 103 brigade, the two-cornered industry finally won the jackpot, in the envious eyes of others, he led 3 infantry brigades and 1 artillery brigade more than 3,000 men and horses along the path to Mingguang.

Liangjiao had no doubt that he would succeed, and in the battle between China and Japan for most of the year, the Japanese army, with its strict secrecy regulations and superior organizational skills, coupled with its quick action, made them often successful sneak attacks**. On the contrary, although the squadron fought at home, there were few examples of attacking the Japanese army.

He casually glanced to the side, it was a small dirt slope more than ten meters high, overgrown with shrubs, the two corners did not realize that there was anything wrong, and asked the adjutant next to him: "Where are you now?" ”

"Your Excellency Dazuo, you have reached the third pass, and there are still 25 kilometers away from the Mingguang of the Chinese army."

"Shout, order the troops, speed up the march!"

He looked away from the hillside, oblivious to the inconspicuous branch there, and could see his troops' every move.

"Master, wake up."

Xu Ming heard someone shouting at him, and got up with a bone, "What's the matter, is the devil coming?" ”

Qiu Linfeng nodded and took a hot towel, "There is news from the communication camp that the devil is coming from the path. ”

Xu Ming didn't care about tidying up his messy hair, sobered up with a towel, and walked quickly towards the division command post.

Officers continued to report for duty quickly, and after a while, cadres at and above the company commander level were all assembled in place.

Xu Ming looked at the room full of subordinates, the critical moment of the 107th Division is coming!

Since the formation of the army, whether or not we can fight a good battle depends on tonight.

The news kept coming: the Japanese army was about 3,000 to 5,000 men, behind the infantry was mountain artillery, the vanguard was about 200 people, and the main force was divided into two parts, about a kilometer apart .......

All the officers in the room were also gearing up, especially the battalion commander and above, this was originally a battle with a huge disparity in strength and a slim chance of victory, but with the joint efforts of director Xu Mingda and their protagonists, the actions of the Japanese army were staged according to their script.

Xu Ming suppressed his excitement, the fighter plane had arrived, and he quickly thought about the strategy specified before the battle, and felt that there was no problem.

"Now, I command."

All the officers were purged and ready to accept the mission.

"Peng Cong, the commander of the 642nd Regiment, Shangguan Min, the deputy commander of the regiment, Tao Jurong of the first battalion, and Zhou Shiyu of the second battalion."

"Here! Arrive! Arrive! Arrive! ”

"Your unit must first crush the vanguard of the Japanese army as quickly as possible, and then indeed occupy the Western Stream and the Fang Stream, block the enemy's advance, and advance to the enemy's depth according to the situation."

"643 Regiment Xie Jinyuan's Division."

"Here! Arrive! Arrive! Arrive! ”

"Your unit must occupy Matanggang with rapid action to obtain the commanding heights of the battlefield, and you should use a particularly powerful unit to block the contact between the front and rear troops of the Japanese army."

"Qin Lieping of the 641st Regiment, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang Chengjiu, Liu Junsheng of the First Battalion, and Zhang Zhenzhong of the Third Battalion."

"Here! Arrive! Arrive! Arrive! ”

"After the 642nd Regiment comes into contact with the enemy, you will pounce on the enemy from the left and right with rapid movements, cut and surround the enemy's first column with grenades and white-knuckle battles, and need to send a unit to occupy Yujiaao, and get in touch with the 642nd Regiment in front and the 643rd Regiment later."

"He Shuxian, the third battalion of the 642nd Regiment, Qi Qiming, the second battalion of the 641st regiment, and the special service company of the division headquarters formed a reserve, which was personally led by me, and placed in the middle of the 641st Regiment, the 642nd Regiment, and the 643rd Regiment to cope with this operation.

"The communications battalion must ensure that the units are connected."

"The only point of this operation is to divide and surround the enemy with rapid movements, and all units must not hesitate or be afraid of sacrifice, and annihilate the enemy with the tactics of fierce attack and rush. Don't stop the charge at any time, the battalion commander and above officers must command the front, and the company commander and below must personally lead the team!

"Now check the time."

"3:15 a.m. on March 24, 27th year of the Republic of China!"

The Liangjiao detachment has reached Shiba, which is less than 20 kilometers away from Mingguang, and according to the original plan, another 10 kilometers will be advanced, and the troops will start to rest on the spot for a period of time, and then launch a surprise attack on Mingguang's squadron in the early morning. At that time, it was the time when the enemy was most slack.

"How exciting it would be when the people of China were lifted from their hot beds and pointed at the cold bayonets of the imperial army." The two horns are already imagining the coming glory, so let the blood of the soldiers of China confirm the great martial arts of my two horns!

Everything went very smoothly and there were no obstacles on the way, the only difficulty was the muddy road, but what could compare to the joy of success. He had already made a bold promise to invite the brigade commander, General Yamada, to Mingguang for a drink to celebrate his achievements before noon.

Liangjiao Yesaku was still dreaming of his spring and autumn season, and suddenly gunshots came from the alert troops in front, and the squadron that served as a search encountered the squadron.

At first, he thought it was a small unit of the squadron, but it didn't sound right, he heard the sound of the squadron's heavy machine guns and mortars.

These two kinds of infantry heavy weapons, in the squadron, are only available at the company level. Moreover, judging by the sound, at least a dozen of them, the forward troops are likely to encounter a regiment of enemy troops!

"Get in shape! Get in shape! Get ready for battle! Prepare for battle..."The adjutant of the two corners, riding on horseback, constantly conveyed orders to prepare for an attack on the Chinese blocking forces.

Suddenly, countless gunshots came from the rear, it was the rear guard of the detachment, the mountain artillery brigade of Seiichi Kawashita and the subordinate troops. Immediately afterwards, the squadron was also found in the rear of the wing headquarters.

"It's surrounded." The two corners quickly flashed such a thought in their minds, what branch of the man fled without a fight, what branch of the artillery withdrew first, it was all acting, and he was deceived by the damn branch man.

The first to attack was Peng Cong's 642nd Regiment, and the regiment commander ordered all the infantry to concentrate their heavy weapons and kill the vanguard of the Japanese army. In the dim night, countless Chinese soldiers rushed from all directions, and a squadron of Japanese troops was immediately drowned.

After quickly defeating this squadron, Peng Cong did not stop, and the troops pursued the army and launched a fierce attack on the devil's headquarters; The Japanese army also reacted and hurriedly seized the surrounding important places to defend, and the two sides engaged in fierce battles on the mountains on both sides of the road.

"How is the 1st Battalion doing now?" Xie Jinyuan stood by a pontoon bridge. On the pontoon bridge, there is a steady stream of soldiers passing by at a rapid pace.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the attack, Xie Jinyuan placed his troops on the other side of the river, parallel to the Japanese army's advance route, and it was difficult for the search troops of the devils to cross the river to search in the case of a rapid march.

"No news yet." It was Yang Ruifu, the deputy head of the regiment, who spoke. He was also anxious, the 643rd Regiment was responsible for the heaviest tasks, and the 1st Battalion was the most important. Matanggang was the only high ground here, and by occupying it, it not only achieved the highest point on the battlefield, but also formed mutual support with the three battalions that were responsible for cutting off the Japanese army.

"Tuanza, I'll go to the front and take a look." Yang Ruifu said.

"Okay, Jieqing, be careful."

Yang Ruifu pulled out his pistol, took the spy platoon, and hurriedly walked in the direction of Matang.

Shangguan Zhibiao was in trouble, and when his battalion was marching towards the heights of Matang, Captain Seichi Kawashita of the Japanese army also personally led the team and advanced towards the heights of Matang.

Seiichi Kawashita, who has rich combat experience, has been participating in operations since the outbreak of the war last year, and as soon as the guns rang out in front and behind the squadron, he realized that the situation of the Japanese army was no longer a question of whether or not it could occupy Mingguang, but a matter of life and death for the Liangjiao detachment. He immediately led the headquarters of the brigade to the high ground, followed by the infantry.

The two sides discovered each other almost at the same time, and Captain Kawashita now fully understands that the squadron is fighting with the idea of total annihilation, and he doesn't even know the name of the mountain, which will decide the fate of the detachment!

Kawashita divided the troops into 3 parts, two squads charged towards the hill in waves, and one squad detoured back to the flank of the squadron from the flank. But the ** squadron also thought so, Shangguan Zhibiao divided the troops into two parts, he personally led the charge of the team, and a company outflanked from the side.

"Onboard! ...... on board", the Japanese troops approaching the top of the hill let out a wild howl.

"Rush! Kill, ......", the squadron on the opposite side did not show weakness.

The two sides directly launched a white-knuckle battle on the top of the mountain, the collision of bayonets, the tearing of the piercing, the desperate roar of the soldiers before they died, and the fight that writhed together.

The Japanese army's assassination education was indeed very traditional, and although they were mountain artillerymen, in this chaotic situation, they also formed an assassination team of two or three or three or four people to confront the hordes of Chinese soldiers.

Captain Kawashita personally threw himself into the battle, and a Chinese soldier saw him holding a command knife, expecting it to be an officer, and pounced viciously. Seeing that the Chinese soldier was fierce, but spared no effort, Kawashita took a step back, staggered the bayonet with his saber, and then immediately stabbed the Chinese soldier in the chest with a single sword.

Another Chinese soldier also shouted to kill him, Kawashita was about to do the same, suddenly felt a stagnation under his feet, the original Chinese soldier was not dead, with his hands to hold Kawashita's feet, the Chinese soldier on the opposite side saw that there was a chance, his right hand reversed, and the butt of the gun smashed over with the wind.

The butt of the gun slammed hard on Kawashita's shoulder, Kawashita Seiichi heard the sound of bones being smashed, he ignored the severe pain in his shoulder, and threw off the entanglement of the hands of the underground Chinese soldier with a side pounce, and then rolled, which was able to avoid the bayonet, taking advantage of the Chinese soldier's excessive exertion, the lower plate was unstable, he touched a Type 38 rifle in the ground with his backhand, and when there was no time to delay, a thrust pierced the bayonet into the opponent's heart.

Kawashita gasped for breath and formed an assassination team with a Japanese soldier back to back, and the two Chinese soldiers on the opposite side rushed over again, one on the left and one on the right...
