Chapter 350: Cunning Sasaki

[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 350: The Cunning Sasaki (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) )

In a mountain col twenty miles outside the city of Duolun, Ma Desheng was discussing with several of his regiment commanders the battle plan for attacking Duolun.

Ma Desheng asked in a deep voice: "Have all the troops arrived?" ”

Political Commissar Zhou Lieyang immediately replied: "It's already here, the second regiment will act with us, the second regiment has now reached Sandaogou southwest of Duolun, and the sixth regiment has arrived at the mouth of the big river, which is not very far from Duolun, as long as we give an order, we will definitely be able to come to the city within half an hour." ”

"Have you figured out what's going on in the city?" Ma Desheng asked again.

"I figured it out, the Duolun garrison has a total of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army plus an infantry brigade of the puppet army, with a total strength of about 3,000 people. These defenders are specifically distributed in Duolun County and various towns and villages in the territory, and there are three infantry squadrons of the Japanese army totaling more than 600 people, in addition to a cavalry squadron, in addition to a regiment of the puppet army. The remaining 1,500 puppet troops were stationed in the three towns of Sandaogou, Dahekou and Dabeigou not far from the city, each town was about 500 people, all equipped with light and heavy machine guns and mortars, and there were also new artillery towers. Zhou Lieyang replied.

Ma Desheng thought for a while and said: "It's much easier for the Japanese army to do it if they don't huddle in the city with a ball of turtles, and they will order a regiment and a battalion to attack the Japanese army in Dabeigou Town, and at the same time, the main force of our army will set up an ambush on the road between Duolun City and Dabeigou." It is impossible for the puppet army in Dabeigou District to last for more than 500 days, and when the time comes, it will inevitably ask for help from the Japanese army in Duolun City, and when the Japanese reinforcements enter the ambush circle, they will definitely be severely attacked, as long as the living force of the Japanese army is eliminated, whether it is surrounded but not annihilated or gathered and annihilated, it is not up to us to say. ”

"That's a good idea, just do it." Zhou Lieyang said.

"In addition, let the 2nd and 6th regiments prepare to encircle and annihilate the Japanese puppet army in the other two towns. When our side fights, let them hold their troops still, and when our side makes progress, they will immediately move! ”

"Yes"

Although Dabeigou Town is said to be a town, the north is sparsely populated, and it cannot be equated with the town in the south. This Dabei town is actually just a larger Zhuangzi, and the whole town has no more than 120 households, scattered along a small river that is not wide.

The Japanese troops stationed in Dabeigou Town were the 3rd Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Independent Garrison Wing of the North China Front. This independent garrison 3rd Wing is the latest garrison unit of the Japanese army, and its main task is to cooperate with Li Shouxin's puppet Mongolian army to control the northern Chabei area.

The Japanese army in Dabeigou Town did not expect that the officers and soldiers of Ma Zheng's department would fall from the sky, and when the short officer with a big head was sleeping soundly with the snatched flower girl in his arms, a crisp gunfire broke the tranquility of this Saibei town.

"Yaga, where are the guns?" Captain Yutaro Yamamoto said angrily.

Before the guards could go out to investigate the situation, fierce gunfire rang out outside the town, and Yutaro Yamamoto, who was very experienced in combat, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately shouted: "It's not good, the enemy is attacking." All immediately go to combat positions! ”

Before the Japanese could react, a rapid artillery bombardment blew up the entire Japanese garrison into a sea of fire.

As soon as he got dressed and ran out of his residence, a shell exploded next to Captain Yamamoto, but fortunately, the guards found him in time and pushed him to the ground, so this time he was only slightly injured, but the guard who protected him was blown to pieces and could not die again.

A long cut in the face was cut by a piece of shrapnel. But Yutaro Yamamoto was unaware, and the Japanese captain officer was very nervous at this time. The 3rd Independent Garrison Wing is a newly formed unit. However, Captain Yamamoto is no longer a recruit on the Chinese battlefield, he has been serving as a squadron leader in the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade Regiment, and was only recently transferred to the 3rd Garrison Wing, so Captain Yamamoto has a lot of combat experience.

After fighting for a long time, Yutaro Yamamoto was well aware of the firepower configuration of the Chinese troops, and the vast majority of the local troops were only armed with rifles. A small number of troops will be armed with very few light machine guns, but there will never be heavy machine guns. The equipment of the regular army is much more luxurious, in addition to rifles, light and heavy machine guns will be available, and combat units above the regimental level will also be equipped with mortars.

But due to the lack of artillery. Neither the Central Army nor the Tuba Road are rarely equipped with infantry artillery, and only the elite units of the Central Army of the Central Army of the China Government will equip a mountain artillery or field artillery battalion in a combat unit above the division level.

The enemy outside the town just now was clearly using large-caliber artillery, and although Yutaro Yamamoto did not know what type of artillery the Shina people were using, he knew that he must have encountered the main force of the Shina people.

"Hold on"

While ordering the troops to resist stubbornly, Yamamoto Yutaro urgently called Sasaki Daisa in Duolun City, and to Yamamoto Yutaro's surprise, the stupid Shina people did not cut off the telephone line from Dabeigou Town to Duolun City. But before Yamamoto could pick up the phone, the phone rang.

In fact, Dabei Town is not very far from Duolun City, and the fierce gunfire here soon reached the city, and the Duolun defenders just received a telegram from the North China Front Headquarters, saying that the yellow flag, the white flag and other places were fiercely attacked by the people of China an hour ago, and now the situation is unknown, asking them to strengthen their vigilance. Before the city of Duolun could discuss countermeasures, he heard the sound of artillery fire outside the city, so he hurriedly called to inquire about the situation.

"Moximoxi"

"Yamamoto-kun, this is the headquarters, Osa, let's ask what happened to your department, where did the guns come from?"

"I am Yutaro Yamamoto, ten minutes ago, our army's garrison was attacked by the main force of China, the enemy is equipped with light and heavy machine guns and large-caliber artillery, our army has suffered great losses, please give combat guidance quickly to Your Excellency Commander! Please! Captain Yutaro Yamamoto said urgently.

"I'll report to the commander immediately, please hold on!"

"Hay!"

Doran. Japanese garrison command.

"Nani, the Chinese army sneak attack on Dabeigou Town?" Sasaki Osa asked in surprise.

"Hay! Just now, Captain Yamamoto clearly asked the headquarters for support on the phone, and also said that the Chinese army was equipped with large-caliber artillery! Chief of Staff Muto Shaosa replied.

"Have you found out, where did the Chinese army that attacked Dabeigou Town come from, how many troops are there, and who is the commander?" The experienced Sasaki Osa asked in a deep voice.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, this has not been clarified yet!"

"Baga, you can't even understand the enemy's number and strength and ask for help, it's really a rice bucket!"

After being angry, Sasaki Osa thought for a while and said: "There is only one unit in the North China that has the ability to launch an active attack on the Imperial Japanese Army, that is the Ma Zheng Division, if it is really the Ma Zheng Division, I am afraid that the Yamamoto Divisions have no rescue value, you should immediately call and ask Yamamoto now, whether it is the Chinese Ma Zheng Division that attacked them, their soldiers are wearing almost the same military uniforms as the Imperial Army, and they can be recognized at a glance." ”

As a veteran commander, Sasaki knew that he must not be in a hurry at this time, and the more anxious he was, the more likely he would be taken advantage of by the Shina people.

Soon, Muto Shaozo entered the combat command room again, and said with a gloomy face: "The commander is like a god, it is indeed the Zhina Ma Zheng Department that is attacking Dabeigou, and the outer fortifications of Dabeigou Town have been occupied by the Zhina people, and Yamamoto's department is surrounded in the turret, and it may be annihilated at any time." ”

"With the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's department, it is impossible to waste such a long time to sneak attack a gun tower, and in addition, it will not give Yamamoto a chance to ask the headquarters for help, and it is impossible for Ma Zheng not to know the common sense of cutting off the enemy's communications before the war, I dare to conclude that Yamamoto's department must be Ma Zheng's bait, and his actual target should be the commander or the entire Duolun City."

Then Sasaki said again: "Immediately order the troops in the city to strengthen their vigilance and be ready to deal with a possible surprise attack by the people of China, and at the same time call the defenders of Sandaogou and Dahekou and order them to return to Duolun City immediately." "Sasaki Daisa did not immediately send reinforcements as Ma Desheng imagined, but chose to urgently shrink his forces. (To be continued.) )
