Chapter 36: Three Cities in a Row
After the combat mission was issued, the various units moved separately, and soon the little black mountain was empty.
According to the battle plan drawn up by Ma Zheng and others, the three troops moved at the same time, and the time for the general attack was set at 11 o'clock on the night of 27 February.
Until now, the Japanese army did not know that the main force of Ma Zheng's department was not actually on the mountain, in fact, it was not to blame the front-line troops of the Japanese army, mainly because they were really scared by the Eighth Route Army on the way to Hades Mountain and Daqing Mountain. With the advantage of the terrain, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army made them think that the main force of Ma Zheng's department did not escape, and the attacks in the past few days also made them firmly believe that the Eighth Route Army was on the mountain, but they didn't know that all this was just an illusion posed by Ma Zheng.
On the night of the 27th, the town of Tuguiwula, the front banner of Chahar, was dark, this small county town in Chanan is located in the Chinese mainland, not only the terrain is remote, the economy is also extremely difficult, until now there is no electricity, so at night the city is dark, and the dim small oil lamps are not visible outside the city at all.
On the small dirt slope outside the city, Wu Xiuda, who was wearing a dogskin coat, stared at the small sentry box at the entrance of the town.
Suddenly, Wu Xiuda turned around and asked, "Li Ergou, have all your people gone in?" ”
"Captain, I have already entered, there are a total of thirteen people, all of whom are the combat backbone of our squadron." Li Ergou, the captain of the second squadron, hurriedly replied.
"Well, how did you kid get people in?" Wu Xiuda asked with a smile.
"Captain, cats have cats and dogs, although the little devil has blocked the road, but it is still very easy for this kind of small county town without city walls to enter the city!" Li Ergou said with a smile.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier, if you said it earlier, Lao Tzu directly led someone to copy the path and enter it, wouldn't it be over?" Wu Xiuda said angrily.
"Captain, it's not that I don't say it, it's that it doesn't work. It's okay for three or two people to go in on the path, and if there are more people, they will definitely be discovered. Moreover, in order to completely block the county, the little devils even planted mines on some remote paths, and the small troops can move well, but the big troops are definitely going to have an accident! Li Ergou replied.
"The little devils of the dog day are too ruthless, what about the people in the city, don't they know that they are going to step on landmines?"
"The purpose of the little devils to plant mines is to block the entire town of Tugui Wula, and the people in the city have to walk from the avenue to enter and exit, so the edges of the minefields are marked, so the people generally do not take the path." Li Ergou said again.
"So that's the case, okay, it's almost eleven o'clock, order the troops to be ready for battle, and when there is any movement in the city, they will rush down with Lao Tzu!" Wu Xiuda said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
At the same time, outside Jining City, a group of more than 30 cars was speeding rapidly, all of them were Japanese soldiers, and even their clothes were new.
Soon this convoy attracted the attention of the sentry on duty at the city gate, and two Japanese soldiers hurriedly came out to investigate the situation.
Seeing the familiar 94-style military truck, the Japanese sentry suddenly relaxed, after all, this kind of truck is generally only equipped by their troops, especially such a large convoy.
But out of duty, the sentry stepped forward to stop the convoy and asked the front car to say the number of the troops.
However, what the sentry didn't expect was that it was a yellow bullet that answered him.
At the moment when the guns rang out, the compartments of more than 30 trucks were opened, and thousands of soldiers dressed in Japanese military uniforms with red armbands wrapped around their arms jumped out of the cars and rushed into the city.
At the same time when the battle between Chayouqian Banner and Jining began, the battle to attack Shangdu County also began, because the number of Japanese troops in Shangdu County was very small, only less than 50 people, and there was no city wall in Shangdu County, so Ma Desheng simply ordered the cavalry troops to take advantage of the night to make a rapid charge, and rushed into the county town before the Japanese sentries did not react.
The three county towns were attacked at the same time, and the phone at the headquarters of the 26th Division was busy all of a sudden, and Lieutenant General Chun of the Harem, who had just fallen asleep, was also urgently woken up by the chief of staff, Bai Yin Shigeji.
As soon as he entered the headquarters, Harem Chun saw that all the staff officers were in a state of extreme panic, and he was immediately furious, slammed the table, and roared angrily: "Baga, what are you panicking, the face of the Great Japanese Imperial Army has been lost by you, give me peace!" ”
Seeing that Lieutenant General Harem Chun was angry, everyone was suddenly silent, and the chaotic command headquarters was suddenly quiet, except for the non-stop phone calls, only the sound of everyone's breathing was left in the headquarters.
"Silver, what the hell is going on?" Harem Jun asked in a deep voice.
Chief of Staff Bai Yin Dazuo hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have just received an urgent telegram from the Jining garrison, saying that they have been attacked by the main force of China, and the enemy's firepower is strong and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and now they have entered the city!" ”
"Nani, how could Chahar have the main force of the Zhi Na army, are they not mistaken?" Harem Chun was shocked by the news and jumped up directly from the chair, staring at Bai Yin Dazuo with his eyes, a picture of choosing people and devouring them.
Bai Yin Dazuo swallowed his saliva and replied: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the humble position has been confirmed, and it is indeed the main force of the Chinese army. It's just that they are all wearing the uniforms of the imperial army, and the defenders can't tell whether they are the government army of China or the Eighth Road! ”
At this moment, the signal corpsman got up and said: "Report to Your Excellency the division commander, check the right front banner garrison force urgently!" ”
"Read!"
"Hay! Our department was besieged by the eight roads of China five minutes ago, the enemy's strength is dozens of times that of our department, and there is an enemy in the city with the inside and outside, our department has now retreated to the garrison headquarters to wait for reinforcements, if the reinforcements do not arrive, I am willing to break the jade with the collective of the department, long live the Japanese Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor! ”
"Baga, call back immediately, just say that the reinforcements will arrive soon, let them stay and wait for help!" Lieutenant General Harem Jun said loudly.
"Hay!"
Before the words fell, another signal soldier got up and said: "Report to Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the Shangdu garrison is in an emergency!" ”
"Nani, what's going on again, hurry up!"
"Our troops were besieged by the main force of the Eighth Route of China five minutes ago, and the enemy was outnumbered, supported by cavalry and artillery, and our troops were ineffective in blocking them, and now they are surrounded by the garrison headquarters, and their destruction is imminent. The Ministry is ready to dedicate itself to the Empire of Japan, long live the Empire of Japan, long live His Majesty the Emperor! ”
"Eight Ga Ya Road!" At the same time, Lieutenant General Harem Jun waved his arm and swept everything on the table to the ground, and the teacup and kettle shattered to the ground.
"Silver, find out where these Shina troops came from at once, quickly!" Harem Chun roared angrily.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, if your judgment is correct, the siege of Jining, Chayouqian Banner and Shangdu must be the headquarters of Ma Zheng!" Bai Yin Dazuo said cautiously.
"Nani, aren't Ma Zheng's troops trapped in the mountains? How could it appear in Jining, which is hundreds of miles away, are both Sakamoto and Nakamura pigs? Harem Jun said loudly.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, all the government troops in the Chanan region have been withdrawn, and the only threat to the imperial army is the Tuba Road Ma Zheng Division. Moreover, the defenders of the three places have one thing in common when they are attacked, that is, the enemy's firepower is very fierce, and now only Ma Zheng's department, which has robbed a large number of imperial troops, has such fierce firepower. ”
Then Bai Yin Dazuo continued: "What's more, the defenders who attacked Jining are also dressed up as imperial troops, as far as the humble officials know, the last time the military column was robbed, there was a large number of military uniforms in the lost materials, so this enemy can only be Ma Zheng's department!" ”
"Ma Zheng! Yaga! ”
After scolding, Harem Jun tried to calm the anger in his heart, he knew that at this time, anger and wisdom blinded his eyes.
After a long time, Harem Chun came to his senses, and then said in a deep voice: "Order the Qiantian Department to immediately withdraw its troops from Yama Mountain, return to the aid of Cha Right Front Banner and Jining, and at the same time order the Kuno Wing to immediately withdraw to Xinghe County!" ”
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, will the troops withdrawn overnight be ambushed by Tubalu, you must know that this enemy army is likely to be the main force of Ma Zheng's department!" Silver Dazuo reminded.
"No, although we were fooled, there are only so many troops on Tubalu, and they are attacking three counties in three ways, so even if they know that we will send troops to reinforce these places, they will not dare to ambush us when the troops are insufficient. What's more, the purpose of the Dirt Eight Road is to force our troops to withdraw, so they don't have the strength or need to ambush us. Harem Chun said in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, can the Kuno Wing slow down and retreat, after all, our heavy artillery unit is already on the way!" Silver Dazuo said again.
"Baiyin, haven't you seen it yet, the main force of the Eighth Road has jumped out of our encirclement, whether it is Hades Mountain or Daqing Mountain, there are only a small army of one or two hundred people at most on the mountain, and these places have actually lost the value of attacking. What's more, if we wait for the main force of the Dirt Eight Road to assemble, then the Kuno United may be attacked by the front and rear of the Dirt Eight Road, and we should not take this risk until we find out the strength of the Dirt Eight Road! ”
After speaking, Harem Chun sighed again and said: "Failure is failure, don't refuse to admit it because of face problems, this will only make us more unable to see the enemy clearly, and we will suffer a big loss in the end!" ”
"Hay!"
