Chapter 95: Gui Nan (3)
In order to commemorate the "918" not to forget the national shame, and thank the majority of book friends for their support, we will contribute the saved manuscripts, and the insufficient part of the manuscript should also be filled, and the daily double update this week.
Wu Zhen led the cavalry battalion to quickly reach the outskirts of Jiutang, and then sent cavalry to survey the terrain while waiting for the arrival of Zheng Tingji's troops. Horses have strong night vision, their sense of hearing and smell is stronger than that of people, and they are quite sensitive to danger, so when Zheng Tingji's troops arrived, Wu Zhen already knew the roads, key points, and suspicious points within 1 kilometer of the surrounding area, and reported to Zheng Tingji.
Zheng Tingjian saw that Wu Zhen's cavalry had the advantage of being familiar with the situation, so he ordered Wu Zhen to send cavalry as a lead to lead the infantry attack.
Wu Zhen only sent one company responsible for reconnaissance in the early stage to guide the infantry, and he led the other two cavalry companies (one platoon owed) and the fire company to follow Zheng Tingji's regimental headquarters as a mobile reserve.
The devil discovered Zheng Tingji's night attack troops, and immediately set off flares, and the battle between the two sides instantly entered a stalemate. The high ground on the west side of Jiutang is the fire support point of the devils, causing great threat and damage to **.
Wu Zhen was anxious, and without waiting for Zheng Tingji's order, he commanded a company to rush towards the mountain. The devils arranged 6 heavy machine guns and more than a dozen light machine guns on the mountain, and the powerful firepower made the ** troops sluggish. In the face of the dense firepower of the devils, Wu Zhen arranged for the troops to disperse the attack, taking advantage of the advantage that the hunting suit was not easy to be discovered, approached the devil's position, and used javelin flying thunder to destroy the devil's firepower point.
The cavalry of the Wumu Army who led the way saw the inexplicable dumb fire of the devil's firepower, and knew that they were infiltrating and attacking with javelin flying thunder, so they simply attacked the high ground on the west side and quickly took this fire support point. However, the main force of the Jiutang devils who were on guard also quickly strengthened their vigilance, making Zheng Tingjian unable to attack for a long time.
The commander of the 21st Brigade of the Devil on the Wutang and Liutang sides, Nakamura Masao, led the 42nd Wing to reinforce Kunlun Pass, but was blocked by Qiu Qingquan's new 22nd Division. After two days and two nights of rushing and killing, they finally broke through the defense line of the new 22nd Division, and rushed straight from Wutang, Liutang, and Qitang to Jiutang.
Nakamura Masao finally arrived at Jiutang, and was relieved to see Kunlun Pass in the distance, and held an operational meeting on the grass outside Jiutang to deploy the operational plan for Kunlun Pass.
Wu Zhen saw a large group of devil officers gathering on the grass on the mountain, and rushed over with his men and horses. The devil alert force desperately blocked it, and Wu Zhen and they were stopped by the devil.
Zheng Tingjian saw Wu Zhen rushing down, and also saw this group of devil officers, and saw that Wu Zhen's charge was blocked, so he hurriedly ordered all artillery fire and machine guns to carry out overshoot to hit this group of devil officers.
Wu Zhen saw that ** began to strike with firepower, and he also freed up his forces to carry out high-density firepower strikes against the devil officers with meteor flying mines and javelin flying mines, causing a large number of kills and injuries to the devil officers.
In this battle, the devil lost a large number of officers, and the troops were difficult to command, so they had to shrink their forces and stabilize the front, and they were surrounded and beaten by Zheng Tingji's troops and the new 22nd Division that caught up.
Under the blow of Zheng Tingjian and Qiu Qingquan on the back of Kunlun Pass, it caused panic to the main position of the devils in Kunlun Pass, and took advantage of the situation to take the main position of Kunlun Pass again.
Imamura Jun was also anxious, and sent a group of planes to airdrop officers to the devil troops in Jiutang to enrich the command system of the troops, and another group of planes bombed Kunlun Pass to assist the devils on the ground to recapture the main position of Kunlun Pass, and then cover the devil reinforcements in Jiutang to rush up to Kunlun Pass.
**'s reinforcements also arrived, and it was the two divisions of the **66th Army and the 99th Army, replacing the new 22nd Division and Zheng Tingji's troops to block the devil's reinforcements south of Batang.
The new 22nd Division and Zheng Tingji's division and other units of the 5th Army went all out to besiege the 21st Brigade of the devil "Steel Army" on Kunlun Pass!
Zheng Tingjian received a battle report that the shelling of Zheng Tingji's department a few days ago killed the commander of the 21st Brigade of the devil, Nakamura Masao! Then, the official order came down, and Zheng Tingji's department was responsible for taking Jieshou Mountain. Jieshou Heights is located in the north of Kunlun Pass, and it is the strongest stronghold of the devils.
In the evening, the vanguard of Zheng Tingji's troops began to attack Jieshou Mountain. Zheng Tingjian did not attack with great fanfare this time, but quietly touched it like Wu Mujun, but was soon discovered by the devils and began a fierce firefight.
Because the devil's troops were insufficient, they had to send planes to bomb at night to support the infantry. The devil planes dropped a large number of flares before they began to strafe and bomb.
Zheng Tingji's department was illuminated by flares and simply launched a strong attack. The soldiers jumped up and rushed at the devil's fortifications, and some soldiers even rushed to the firing holes of the fortifications and pillboxes and stuffed grenades into the firing holes, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Wu Zhen took the cavalry to throw away the war horses, and rushed to kill on the front line with Zheng Tingji, seeing that the ** soldiers suffered heavy losses, he ordered the troops to use up all the flying mines to hit the devil's firepower point.
The soldiers of the Wu Mu Army were ordered to quickly shake off Zheng Tingjian and Wu Zhen and rush towards the devil's firepower. The soldiers of the Wumu Army used long shotguns and grenades to cooperate, and the flying thunder and strange light cooperated, and the rear firepower company covered with grenade machine guns, and hit the devil's trench bunkers at fixed points, speeding up the attack speed of the troops.
Soon, Wu Mujun's flying mines were exhausted, Wu Zhen had to order the charging troops to suspend the attack, replenish the anti-tank grenades with hollow charges, and rest for a while, and the firepower even grenade machine guns continued to attack with ammunition with hollow charges, and soon the grenade machine gun ammunition was also exhausted, and the cavalry rushed up again with anti-tank grenades in the posture of mountain infantry......
Wu Mujun made a good start, and Zheng Tingji's troops quickly rushed forward to expand the results! Wu Zhen's men attacked quickly, fully equipped, heavy combat load, and extremely physical exertion, all supported by a large number of anti-Japanese enhancement pills, and fought until dawn, and the troops ran out of ammunition, Wu Zhen ordered to rest on the spot, and the soldiers immediately fell asleep in the pile of corpses.
At noon the next day, Zheng Tingji's troops took Jieshou Mountain. Before falling asleep, Zheng Tingjian told the ambulance team that every corpse must be checked and not to bury the sleeping soldiers!
The 5th Army finally took Kunlun Pass, and on Tuesday Gou also gathered his troops and prepared to go to business and visit the old commander Cai Tingkai. On Tuesday, the dog counted the troops brought in: 63 cavalry battalions killed, 109 seriously wounded, 195 lightly wounded, ammunition depleted, 189 horses lost, Niu Daojia killed 23 killed, 7 seriously wounded, 35 lightly wounded, 4 anti-aircraft guns destroyed, 1 tank captured.
Qiu Qingquan, Dai Anlan, and Zheng Dongguo replenished a batch of Japanese-made ammunition for Wu Mujun, and Du Yuming said that Wu Mujun's exclusive ammunition could be replenished by Xishan, and the 5th Army was responsible for transporting it to Cai Tingkai, and took out 50,000 oceans to express the gratitude of the brothers of the 5th Army.
Tuesday Dog rejected Du Yuming's ocean: "Commander Du, our Wu Mujun is also Chinese, and it is also our duty to sacrifice our lives for the country, so we dare not benefit the country!" ”
Du Yuming disagreed: "Commander Zhou, in the war in your jurisdiction, you are responsible for the battle losses, but the brothers of the Wu Mujun are the blood shed for the 5th Army, reducing the casualties of the 5th Army, and they are not fighting for merit, the brothers of the 5th Army are deeply moved, this is the pension of the wounded brothers, Commander Zhou must not refuse!" ”
The reluctant Tuesday dog had no choice but to accept the ocean. Seeing that Tuesday Dog's howitzer machine guns and flying thunder were exhausted and there was no heavy firepower, Du Yuming equipped Tuesday Dog with 6 Type 92 infantry guns, 6 90mm Japanese-made mortars, 12 heavy machine guns, and 40 light machine guns to accommodate the seriously wounded of Wu Mujun.
Qiu Qingquan privately said that if Ouyang Cheng and his old subordinates of the machine gun battalion were willing, they would be assigned to the Wumu Army system, and Qiu Qingquan would also give them a position in **.
On Tuesday, the dog reluctantly said goodbye to these iron-blooded generals and marched to the 26th Army.
On Tuesday, the dog met Cai Tingkai and reported the process of following the 5th Army in the fierce battle at Kunlun Pass, Cai Tingkai listened to it very happily and praised loudly: "Well fought, played the majesty of our 19th Route Army!" ”
On Tuesday, the dog took out a list of gifts again, and Cai Tingkai was even happier.
On Tuesday, the dog took out a list of gifts, and Cai Tingkai was even more pleased, which added a lot of combat effectiveness to the 26th Army, which was pieced together by the ragtag guerrillas.
I heard that the dog came on Tuesday, and the high-ranking officials under Cai Tingkai came to visit. This Tuesday dog is a real grass king who dominates one side, no better than Cai Tingkai, a nominal army general, so it is close to the Tuesday dog first, who knows who will be used in the future?
Du Yuming was very particular, and actually used a plane to transport the ammunition from Xishan to replenish the dog on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, under the arrangement of Cai Tingkai, Gou conducted a demonstration exercise for the officers of the 26th Group Army. Including the rapid construction of fortifications, bamboo sticks and mine arrays, counter-charge, gas bomb protection, water attack, fire attack, ...... Interspersing, infiltrating, sneak attacking, and luring the enemy in offensive warfare......
On Tuesday, the dog understood that the old chief was doing everything he could to fight the war of resistance.
Under the planning, help, and influence of Tuesday Dog, Cai Tingkai asked the senior officers of various units to voluntarily send a group of elite soldiers, on the condition that after the war, they would return to the original army with equipment, and the source of soldiers would require courage, education, and good physique, with a total of 2,000 places and 1,200 actual recruits, and the name of the unit would be "the 26th Group Army Teaching Brigade."
In order to get equipment, the troops rushed to send people, and even the colonel-level officers came! But many of the soldiers are relatives and cronies of the commanders, young masters, lambs, ruffians, big smokers, everyone!
This is not afraid, Tuesday the dog will take the exam in person!
Test your courage first: the recruits stand against the wall, and Wu Mu shoots them overhead with submachine guns! Many of the soldiers who came to the trust were wetting their pants!
The eliminated people went back to report the situation to the commanders, and the commanders did not dare to hide their secrets in order to obtain equipment, so they sent real recruits.
Next, test your physical strength, march 20 miles in 1 hour, and eliminate another batch!
Finally, test the culture: put a stack of newspapers in front of the recruits, pick a newspaper by the way, and let the recruits read out the designated title.
In the end, only 980 people were qualified, and they were organized into 8 shelf companies by Tuesday dogs, and the instructors were all deputy squad leaders of Wu Lei and Wu Ting, and they were divided into artillery companies, heavy machine gun companies, light machine gun companies, submachine gun companies, engineer companies, flying thunder companies, anti-armor companies, and mountain companies. Other equipment is stockpiled and meritorious troops are rewarded.
Cai Tingkai and Tuesday Dog got a battle report, after the 5th Army conquered Kunlun Pass, due to heavy losses and fatigue of troops, it withdrew from the battle, and the attack task was handed over to Yao Chun's 36th Army to take over. Then came the order, and all the troops entered a state of entrenchment.
Cai Tingkai and Tuesday Dog only looked at each other and smiled bitterly: This is simply a chance for the devil to make a comeback, ruining the results of the bloody battle of tens of thousands of soldiers of the 5th Army!
Within a few days, I received a report from the 46th Army that the devil's 18th Division (Lieutenant General Na Nai Chengichi of the division) and the Guards Mixed Brigade (brigade commander Major General Sakurada Takeshi) landed one after another, and the 46th Army had already engaged fire with the devil to prevent the enemy from reinforcing Nantong and Kunlun Pass!
Cai Tingkai immediately notified all troops to start a battle to block the enemy, and not let a single soldier of the devil pass through the defense area!
The units of the 26th Army received the order and immediately took action according to the operational plan: destroy bridges, control, conceal, and burn ships, flood roads, lay bamboo mine arrays, and build defensive positions!
Cai Tingkai's deployment was undoubtedly effective, but the implementation of various units was greatly discounted: some unit commanders did not blow up bridges because they were afraid that it would be inconvenient to pass in the future, some ships were owned by unit commanders and therefore did not deal with them, some troops were lazy and did not completely flood the roads, and some troops even hastily arranged things with bamboo sticks because of insufficient mines! As a result, the bridges and ships were given to the devils in vain, and the insufficient blocking set up caused a large number of casualties and retreats, and the troops suffered heavy losses!
Fortunately, Wu Lei and Wu Ting commanded the 26th Group Army Teaching Brigade to block and kill in the west, blocking the guns and jumping into the fire pit desperately to kill, but to a certain extent, they still blocked the reinforcements of the devils.
