The devil plane began to drop bombs, and Wu Mujun's flying mines also began to rise into the air. In the first round of bombing, because the devil plane was a long-distance high-altitude bomb, the impact point of the bomb was too far off, and it did not hurt Wu Mujun's convoy, and Wu Mujun's flying mine air defense effect was not very good, and only one devil plane was damaged.

The devil plane went around and began the second round of bombing. This time it was a low-altitude dive bombing, and the two sides changed their horses, Zhao Chongshan lost 2 flying mine launchers, and the devil was shot down 3 planes.

This time, the devil was determined to destroy Zhao Chongshan's convoy, so he continued to bomb after suffering a loss, and it was an ultra-low-altitude bombing, and he blew up 4 more flying thunder launchers, and 4 devil planes were also shot down.

The devils were stubborn and ruthless, and the only four remaining planes flew back and continued to bomb, and they were still bombing at ultra-low altitudes. Zhao Chongshan only had 3 flying thunder launchers left, and the firepower density was much worse, but the Wu brothers' troops opened fire together, and anti-aircraft machine guns, light and heavy machine guns, Qiguang submachine guns, and heavy shotguns formed an impenetrable barrage, shooting down all 4 planes of the devil.

Zhao Chongshan asked the Wu brothers to help recover the wreckage of the devil's plane; I lost 6 Flying Mine Launchers, so I had to get some supplies back.

The Wu brothers don't do it, and the main task now is to protect General Cai Tingkai safe and sound!

Zhao Chongshan was speechless, and immediately gathered the team to transfer. At this time, Cai Tingkai spoke: "Do you think you can still transfer out?" I dare say, the devil infantry will arrive soon! Prepare to defend in place now! ”

As soon as Cai Tingkai had a battle, he immediately became more energetic and deployed his troops to retreat into the mountains.

Cai Tingkai took three juniors to look at the terrain first, and then deploy troops: his own agency personnel are in the hinterland surrounded by three mountains; 9 infantry guns and 9 anti-aircraft machine guns occupy 3 hills and control the commanding heights; 3 Mine Launchers and 3 Heavy Machine Guns to guard 3 mountain passes; Other combat units were halfway up the mountain to guard heavy firepower and block the devil's attack.

Wu Lei and Wu Ting took the order, but Zhao Chongshan hesitated.

When Cai Tingkai saw it, he knew that Zhao Chongshan had other ideas, so he pressed the Wu brothers and asked Zhao Chongshan what he thought.

Zhao Chongshan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and asked General Cai Tingkai: "Is General Cai planning to defend to the death?" ”

When Cai Tingkai heard this, this kid was talking a little interesting, so he encouraged him to say all his words: "What do you have good ideas?" Say it all, the devil is far away from us, everything is in time, say it slowly!"

"In my opinion, General Cai's layout idea is to defend to the death according to the danger, control the commanding heights and key passes with heavy firepower, and light cavalry to assist in defense, such a formation is solid and there is no problem!"

Cai Tingkai was angry: "Don't come so much!" I don't need you to put a top hat on me, your dad and I have always been straight to the point! At a young age, you can learn to be exquisite, and you don't learn well! ”

"Okay, I'll just say it! What about holding it out? Where are the friendly forces around us? Can you rescue us? How long will our provisions, ammunition last? Therefore, we have to defend it alive, if we can keep it, if we can't keep it, we will turn in, our goal is to turn to the West Mountain, not to be trapped in this poor countryside as cannon fodder to contain the devil! Zhao Chongshan looked at Cai Tingkai's face, and saw Cai Tingkai listening thoughtfully, so he continued to speak boldly: "We stayed here because we were afraid of an encounter with the devil's army, if not, we should continue to think about the West Mountain, so the martial brother asks you to send cavalry scouts to reconnoiter whether there is a large army of devils in front, and observe the favorable terrain for local defense anywhere, if there is no large group of devils, we can rush over with our firepower and maneuver speed, and there is no need to fight a defensive battle without hope; If we encounter a large army of devils, it is not too late for us to hold on to the defense! ”

"There is no need to reconnoitre, a lightly armed brigade of devils from Yongzhou has passed Xintian, less than 30 kilometers away from us, and a cavalry brigade of devils from Yingde has arrived in Linwu, less than 50 kilometers away from us!" Wu Ting replied immediately.

"Are there any devils in Guiyang?" Zhao Chongshan asked.

"Not found at the moment!"

"So what are you waiting for? Our maneuvering speed trucks are 25 km/h, and the cavalry is faster than trucks in the mountains, so why are we waiting for the devils to surround us? By the time the devil arrived, we all walked out of the small 100 kilometers! Suddenly, Zhao Chongshan had a flash of inspiration, "Ah, you want to touch the devil!" No way! Absolutely not! General Cai is a golden body, and he can't take this risk! Turn to Guiyang and go! ”

Cai Tingkai smiled and nodded: "The future is terrifying!" ”

An hour after the convoy drove out, Zhao Chongshan came to Cai Tingkai: "General Cai, we have now entered a safe area, but I am worried that the devils who are surrounding us will attack Guilin along our way, so I think it is better to send a force to kill the horse gun and block it!" ”

Cai Tingkai smiled, "Regardless of my safety?" ”

"Just now, the captain of Jing Yukun's detachment called, and the response team will be there soon!" Zhao Chongshan replied.

Sure enough, the convoy in front of me was already visible.

Zhao Chongshan and the receiving troops went through the handover procedures, so Cai Tingkai reluctantly gave the Wu brothers and Zhao Chongshan a holiday, and told them to report the battle in detail when they returned.

When returning to Jiahe, the cavalry in the direction of the devil's Linwu arrived first, and encountered the vanguard of the Wu brothers, and Zhao Chongshan ordered 3 flying thunder launchers to bombard the rear of the devil's cavalry.

24 Heavenly Rain Flying Thunderbolts landed almost simultaneously in the Devil's Cavalry Group, destroying most of the Devil's Cavalry's artillery squadron, and the second round of bombardment blew up most of the Devil's Cavalry Squadron.

When the Wu brothers saw this, they hurriedly withdrew the charging cavalry, leaving room for Zhao Chongshan for a third round of bombardment.

After the third round of bombardment by Feilei, the Devil Cavalry Brigade had collapsed, and the Wu brothers took advantage of the situation to order the cavalry to charge, and only more than 100 people in the Devil Cavalry Brigade fled back to Linwu.

The Wu brothers ordered the cavalry troops to clean up the battlefield, while calling Zhao Chongshan over to discuss the election of a person to be the commander-in-chief, Zhao Chongshan thought that the Wu brothers were older than himself and had more combat experience than himself, so whoever was the Wu brothers could be the commander-in-chief; The Wu brothers unanimously believed that Zhao Chongshan's troops had strong combat capabilities, and their brothers did not understand the tactical use of new weapons, so they elected Zhao Chongshan as commander-in-chief.

In the face of the two battle-hardened big brothers, Zhao Chongshan said that he would not serve as the commander-in-chief, and finally Wu Lei spoke: "Our brothers and sons are already famous, you have to make war achievements and become famous, we should naturally support you as brothers, and it can be regarded as a test of your ability!" Show your brother something! ”

Zhao Chongshan had no choice but to temporarily serve as the commander. According to Zhao Chongshan's deployment, the troops occupied Dao County. The devil wants to attack Guilin from the north in a roundabout way, and this is the only way.

Zhao Chongshan and the others withdrew to Dao County, only cavalry troops, and trucks were left behind to load the horse meat left by the devil cavalry.

Zhao Chongshan gathered the security regiment of Daoxian County and found that there were only more than 300 people in the security regiment, and the equipment was unbelievably simple: there was only one light machine gun, more than 70 Hanyang-made guns, and the rest of the equipment was earthen guns and pikes.

Zhao Chongshan ordered the Wu brothers to scatter cavalry scouts in all directions, while the troops were concentrated in the middle of the basin to stand by, and at the same time the weapons of the captured devil stragglers were issued to the security regiment to change their equipment.

The training level of the soldiers of the security regiment is really not flattering, and the newly issued weapons will not be used except for the Type 38 cavalry rifle, including the hand-made grenades, and Zhao Chongshan will also send people to train and guide the security regiment.

The devil infantry could not outrun the trucks and horses of Zhao Chongshan and the Wu brothers, and they were exhausted when they arrived in Dao County after traveling more than 300 miles in two days and two nights, and they were just right to train the security regiment that had undergone simple training.

In Xiaoshui, on the outskirts of Dao County, the Wu Mu Army has already built a blocking position, allowing the newly equipped security regiment to be stationed, and the Wu Mu Army will support the security regiment in the back.

Under the organization of the local county government axe, the security regiment has expanded to more than 1,000 people, of which more than 100 Orion are equipped with 18 Type 96 light machine guns and Type 38 cavalry guns, the original riflemen are equipped with 78 Type 100 submachine guns, and other soldiers are either equipped with Type 38 cavalry guns or Hanyang-made, earthen guns, pike darts, and grenades according to their training level.

The devil was ready to take a brief rest on the outskirts of Dao County before launching an attack, but Zhao Chongshan did not give the devil a chance, and 1 mortar shelled the devil continuously, and the devil was not allowed to rest.

The devil was not fooled, and continued to rest after retreating 1 kilometer.

Zhao Chongshan was on fire, and asked Wu Ting to take a platoon of Wumu soldiers and more than 30 hunters to form a sneak attack team to go out and disturb. The soldiers of the Wumu Army did not enter the battle at first, and were only responsible for instructing the recruits to fight.

These hunter-born recruits are really competitive, they are already hidden and hidden, and the riflemen sneak up on the devil sentry, shoot the devil sentry, and then lurk.

The devil reacted immediately, according to the gun, search, and vigilance; In the distance, the Orion recruits used Type 96 light machine guns to kill devil officers, machine gunners, and grenadiers; The results were good, and after eliminating more than 20 devils, he began to retreat.

The devils immediately sent 1 squadron to pursue, and Wu Ting commanded the squad to fight and retreat, and eliminated more than 10 devils.

The captain of the devil brigade couldn't help it, and commanded all his troops to press up.

Wu Ting commanded the squad to retreat to the other side of the river, and the security regiment on the position began to shoot to stop the devil's charge.

The devils set up mortars and infantry artillery and began to bombard Zhao Chongshan's defensive position, so that the security regiment couldn't raise its head, but Zhao Chongshan just didn't let the artillery open fire to suppress the devil's firepower.

The devil infantry rushed to the left of Zhao Chongshan's defensive position 100 meters to the left and stopped the shelling, and the soldiers of the security regiment hiding in the trenches quickly entered the position under the command of the veterans of the Wu Mu Army, the Orion riflemen sniped the devil grenadier driver, the machine gunner used the scope to snipe the devil machine gunner and the heavy machine gunner behind him, and the 100 submachine guns and other rifles strafed and shot the devil infantry.

The devil's first charge failed, and he retreated in a hurry, and Wu Mujun immediately commanded the soldiers of the security regiment to hide in the trenches.

The devils shelled again and then charged, and the security regiment blocked again...... The two sides attacked and defended for two days, and the veterans of the Wumu Army did not fire a single shot, with 11 casualties, and the security regiment suffered more than 60 casualties and eliminated more than 200 devils.

In the evening, Zhao Chongshan held a meeting with the officers and veterans of the security regiment to summarize the achievements and mistakes of the security regiment in the past two days, and then lay out the battle plan for the next day.

In the early morning of the next day, the devil still persevered in attacking.

Now the soldiers of the security regiment have become accustomed to the battlefield environment, and when they see the devils entering a distance of 100 meters, they will not fire a single shot.

The devil entered a distance of 5 or 60 meters and began to straighten up and accelerate the charge, the security regiment threw a large number of grenades and grenades, and then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the devil with a shuttle dart, but the machine gunners on both flanks of the position took the opportunity to snipe the devil's heavy machine gunner.

The shuttle dart of the security regiment was more than 2 feet longer than the devil's rifle, and with the help of mixed submachine gunners, the devil quickly couldn't stand it and began to retreat.

The veterans of the Wumu Army on the rear position shouted: "Lie down!" The soldiers of the security regiment quickly fell to the ground, exposing the standing devils to machine gunners and submachine gunners, and leaving a large number of devils in the forward position to become live targets for machine guns and submachine guns.

Seeing the soldiers of the security regiment crawling back to their positions, the devils immediately launched artillery retaliation.

As soon as Zhao Chongshan saw that the security regiment was going to suffer a big loss, he immediately ordered the artillery to return fire. The artillery has been holding back for several days, and the shooting of Zhu Yuan has already been set, so the fire coverage of the devil is immediately implemented, 9 infantry guns, 6 mortars bully the devil, 2 infantry guns, and 4 mortars are really invincible.

The devil had no artillery, and the light firepower was not as good as the security regiment, so he couldn't fight this battle, so he had to retreat and wait for reinforcements.

Zhao Chongshan was impatient and exhausted with the devils, so he ordered Wu Lei's anti-aircraft machine gun to destroy the devil's heavy machine gun position, and then Wu Ting's cavalry charging company and firepower company swarmed up to clean up the devil's infantry and annihilated a brigade of devils.

In this battle, the security regiment suffered 178 casualties, but the troops became murderous.

At this time, Zhao Chongshan asked the head of the security regiment to report to Shangfeng: 1,123 people from the Daoxian Security Regiment, 1,123 people from a brigade of completely annihilated devils, 71 people were killed, 51 people were seriously injured, 56 people were slightly injured, and a number of people were captured.

Bai Chongxi was furious when he received the report: A security regiment wiped out all the devils and a field brigade? You have to rely on some tricks to lie about your achievements! Call back: Falsely report the merits of the war, there is no forgiveness for killing, and there is no example!

The county magistrate of Dao County reported again: The results of the battle are true, and the Dao County Security Corps is grateful to the Wumu Group Army for aiding the Hunan Detachment and General Cai Tingkai's strong support from the Guards!

As soon as Bai Chongxi heard that there was a matter of Cai Tingkai and the Wumu Group Army, although he was inseparable from commanding the battle of Guiliu, he still sent a powerful staff officer to Daoxian to understand the situation.

When Bai Chongxi's staff officers arrived in Dao County, Zhao Chongshan had already led the team to leave Dao County, leaving only one squad to be the teaching team of the Dao County Security Regiment, which now has 1,529 people, 2 Type 92 infantry guns, 2 90mm mortars composed of 1 artillery platoon, 9 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 1 heavy machine gun company, 9 infantry companies, 3 Type 96 light machine guns per company, 6 Type 100 submachine guns, 90 Type 38 rifles, and the ambulance team and transport team are being organized and trained......

Bai Chongxi got retribution, knowing that he owed the Wumu Group Army a big favor again!

Jing Yukun received General Cai Tingkai, immediately left the battle, protected General Cai Tingkai to rush through the line of fire between the devil and **, enter the third war zone, and then return to Xishan.

General Cai Tingkai, who had returned to Xishan, sent a telegram thanking Emperor Komoto, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hatata, and Commander Isamu Yokoyama of the 11th Army, and for giving him a large amount of equipment with more than 300 airborne troops against himself under the tense situation of the war.

The devil can only not express his position, ** will take the opportunity to ridicule, and the international community will ** make a big uproar!

Zhao Chongshan left Daoxian County, and planned to chase Cai Tingkai and his party to Xishan, but found that there was a shortage of fuel.

Zhao Chongshan had no choice but to return to Dao County.

Zhao Chongshan and the others were greeted like gods in Dao County, but there was no gasoline!

When Bai Chongxi learned that Zhao Chongshan and others had returned to Dao County, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and personally sent a report to Wu Lei, Wu Ting, and Zhao Chongshan, and sent two regiments under the command of Zhao Chongshan to protect Guilin's flank.

Zhao Chongshan received Bai Chongxi's telegram and couldn't help but smile bitterly: The combat effectiveness of the two miscellaneous regiments of the Gui Army is not as good as that of a battalion of the Wumu Army, how can they resist the menacing devils?

Two regiments of the Gui Army arrived in Dao County, one regiment commander was named Liu Zhengyi, more than 700 people, with 2 mortars, 4 heavy machine guns, 7 light machine guns, and more than 300 rifles; One is named Cao Baofeng, more than 1,000 people, with 8 light machine guns and more than 600 rifles.

Zhao Chongshan, Wu Lei, and Wu Ting, Wei Biqing, Liu Zhengyi, and Cao Baofeng, heads of the Daoxian Security Corps, met together and found that these troops were all family-style armed forces, and in addition to having a passion for resisting, military style, military discipline, combat quality, and actual combat experience were all about equal to nothing.

So Zhao Chongshan pointed out these problems bluntly, Wei Biqing tasted the sweetness and was naturally convinced, while Liu Zhengyi and Cao Baofeng disagreed, but thought that Zhao Chongshan looked down on their miscellaneous troops, and the following conversation could not be carried out at all, and everyone broke up unhappily.

In the evening, Wei Biqing brought Liu Zhengyi and Cao Baofeng to apologize to Zhao Chongshan and others and express their obedience to the command. It turned out that Wei Biqing took Liu Zhengyi and Cao Baofeng to visit his security regiment, from training to equipment, Liu Zhengyi and Cao Baofeng were enthusiastic and envious, when they learned that they were all changes brought by Zhao Chongshan and others in recent days, especially Wu Lei and Wu Ting were officers registered in front of the chairman, but they bowed down to Zhao Chongshan and a hairy boy, which shows the good strength of these people, Liu Zhengyi and Cao Baofeng knew that they were 108,000 miles away from others, and it was a big pie that fell from the sky to be a follower to this army! Not only can you reduce the bloodshed and sacrifice of your brothers, but also make meritorious contributions, you actually have eyes that don't know gold and jade, and your eyes are simply long to the crotch, so you are willing to come over to express your worship, after all, less bloodshed and more meritorious service are more affordable than illusory face!

Zhao Chongshan did not pretend to be merciful, and immediately proposed that all troops must obey the arrangement to the letter, and must not ask any questions, let alone disobey orders, otherwise there will be no forgiveness!

Immediately let the staff officers make up their own minds, and let Wei Biqing, Liu Zhengyi, Cao Baofeng and others press the bloody handprint, not only that, but also ask the officers of each department to memorize the contents, take an oath loudly, and then press the bloody handprint as well.

In order to convince these "native soldiers," Zhao Chongshan also asked Wei Biqing and his subordinates to tell the new officers and men about the fighting in the past few days, and let the cavalry and infantry practice shooting and building fortifications, which opened the eyes of these "native soldiers."

Despite their busy schedules, the troops quickly built up confidence and, more importantly, the authority of the command system at the grassroots level. (To be continued.) )
