Chapter 108: The Ghost of Guangdong and Jiangxi
Zhang Fakui purchased a large amount of arms from Jing Yukun, and finally regretted it: If he left Liu Mao'er at the beginning, wouldn't he be able to run an arsenal himself? Moreover, the weapons made by Wu Mujun are cheap and practical, simple to manufacture, and easy to operate. Out of pragmatism, Zhang Fakui invited Liu Maoer to come to Guangdong again.
After Liu Maoer returned to Xishan, she had nothing to do, so she went to Hangzhou to find Lu Ao to relieve her boredom. Lu Ao is now a busy man, and it is not convenient to meet him frequently, so he gave him a few lists, all of which Lu Ao needs to get rid of, or win over, and let Liu Maoer, an old-school killer, help.
Akira Nishimura, Nakasa, a special high school for devils, is secretly investigating Noda Meixiu, believing that Noda Meixiu stole and sold strategic materials such as imperial army medicines, steel, and precision instruments, all of which Lu Ao arranged for Noda Meixiu to do.
After investigation, Liu Maoer found that Nishimura Akira was very vigilant, and advertised that he was ready to sacrifice himself for the emperor at any time, and in order to show that he was consistent with his words and deeds, he always hung a grenade on his chest in case he was ready to die at any time.
While Akira Nishimura was taking a bath, Liu Maoer replaced the grenade he was carrying with a rusted safety pin. When his boss was angry, he threw a teacup at him, which happened to hit the grenade, and the explosive grenade killed 3 of his boss and 2 injured his colleagues. Noda's matter is no longer over.
Zhou Fohai, a tycoon of Wang's puppet government, came to Hangzhou to inspect. Liu Maoer planted 7 bombs at the venue, which were searched by the guards arranged by Lu Ao, and since then Zhou Fohai has trusted Lu Ao.
Ding Bingyao, the former adjutant of the commander of the Hubei detachment of Zhongyi Rescue**, was given Japanese nationality by the devil after betraying the commander and the troops, changed his name to Toda Tadawazu, and hid in Hangzhou under the guise of opening a pharmacy and destroying the underground organ of Hangzhou of Zhongyi Rescue**.
Liu Maoer disdained to deal with this kind of small miscellaneous and did it herself, and hired 5 vicious smokers with 2 taels of tobacco soil, and hacked them to death in the lobby of the brothel.
Liu Maoer just found the feeling that she was dominating the rivers and lakes back then, and He Laifu urged Liu Maoer to return to Xishan.
On the Xishan side, due to Wan Zixiong, Liu Qinghe, and Jing Yukun being in the limelight in the ** sequence, many troops saw the cheapness and invited Wu Mujun to "exchange", ** Han Deqin, deputy commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater, Ye Ting of the New Fourth Army Military Department, Chen Yi of the New Fourth Army Department, and the Fourth War Zone.
He Laifu advocated that Liu Maoer go to Ye Ting's department or Chen Yi's department of the New Fourth Army, so that cooperation could be strengthened. Zeng Qi disagreed, everyone knew that the New Fourth Army was inseparable from the ** appearance, and such words would offend the national government, not to mention that the troops below had a lot of exchanges and cooperation in private, so there was no need to be too clear! As for the Sulu Theater, there are often frictions with the New Fourth Army, and the Wumu Army cannot wade into this troubled water, so neither the New Fourth Army nor the Sulu Theater will send people to "communicate", and only the Fourth Theater will be able to exchange units of sufficient level.
He Laifu explained to Liu Mao'er that he should go to the Fourth War Zone again, not to be at the mercy of Zhang Fakui like last time, but to show the equal attitude of Wu Mujun and the Fourth War Zone, and to support General Cai Tingkai's Guangdong-Guizhou Border Region Headquarters. Liu Maoer understood.
Hu Zhaoyue heard that Liu Maoer was going to the Fourth War Zone, and she also asked Zhao Dahu to accompany her and go to Zhao Dahu's hometown Jiangmen to find Zhao Dahu's lost wife and two sons. Zhao Dahu was very moved, his military career was full of ups and downs, and his contact with his family was intermittent, and he completely lost contact after the start of the Anti-Japanese War.
So, Zhao Dahu called Liu Maoer and entrusted him to take care of Hu Zhaoyue all the way. Liu Mao'er couldn't ask for it, because in this case, his wife Lu Zhenyun could also accompany Hu Zhaoyue as his personal entourage.
Liu Maoer led the team to the Fourth War Zone, but this time he did not report to the Fourth War Zone Governor's Department, but just informed him and threw himself under Cai Tingkai's command.
At this time, Cai Tingkai had no authority but no rank, and he had the false title of commander-in-chief of the Guangdong-Guizhou Border Region, leaving only two battalions of the Erwu brothers, and some pretending staff officers, adjutants, and guards, and dozens of guerrillas under those nominal subordinates, who did not even report the establishment and jurisdiction to Cai Tingkai, and Cai Tingkai was also very interested in the general headquarters in Wuzhou.
With the end ----of the Battle of Guinan, the guerrillas returned to their own state, Cai Tingkai became the commander of the light pole, and the two brothers did not dare to leave Cai Tingkai, which was the only armed force in Cai Tingkai's hands. Liu Mao'er is here, and the two brothers will be free.
When Liu Maoer came to Cai Tingkai's command, she naturally wanted to earn some face for Cai Tingkai. He left a guard platoon for Cai Tingkai, and took his first mobile brigade and two battalions of the Erwu brothers to go out to the surroundings of Yulin, which is only 3 or 400 miles away from Nanning, Qinzhou, Beihai, Zhanjiang, and Maoming, and it is convenient to enter and retreat, not to mention that Nanning is the center of devil South China, Qinzhou, Beihai, Zhanjiang, and Maoming are all coastal cities, and there must be a large number of devils' materials, which is Liu Maoer's favorite target.
After arriving in Yulin, Liu Maoer stationed his troops in an inconspicuous place in the mountains, and then arranged an air defense battalion and a police battalion to be responsible for guarding, the health team set up a rear hospital, and the other two cavalry battalions, three infantry battalions, cavalry battalions, artillery battalions, special service battalions, engineer battalions, anti-tank battalions, and baggage battalions of the other two martial brothers sent 12 joint reconnaissance detachments to inspect the terrain, the enemy's situation, and the distribution of the enemy and ourselves.
The guerrillas in this area heard that Liu Mao'er, the general of the Wumu Army, who was better than the Erwu brothers, was coming, and they all came to contact and visit. Liu Mao'er didn't like to take care of these snobs, so she asked them to go to their commander-in-chief, Cai Tingkai, and contact them through the General Headquarters of the Guangdong-Guizhou Border Region, regardless of the fact that many of them were not seen as trainees of the guerrilla training class in the Fourth War Zone.
Liu Maoer mixed the troops of the Erwu brothers, and the heavy firepower and cavalry were complementary, and they were organized into the second cavalry battalion and the third cavalry battalion of the mobile brigade: the second cavalry battalion: the battalion commander Wu Lei, the original firepower battalion, was incorporated into the cavalry charge company, and the heavy bombing company was withdrawn; Third Cavalry Battalion: Battalion Commander Wu Ting, formerly a mobile battalion, was incorporated into the Heavy Bombardment Company and withdrawn from the Cavalry Charge Company.
The first battle began at Yangjiang, east of Maoming.
The 1st Cavalry Battalion and the 1st Infantry Battalion served as the starting lineup. Taking advantage of the stormy typhoon weather, the first battalion of infantry set up a raft of wood and bamboo, and went straight to the Yangjiang River along the surging stream and river.
Launched an attack on Yangjiang City. 9 heavy machine guns and 9 heavy shotguns covered the infantry to rush directly into Yangjiang City, which caught the devil's garrison team off guard. Although the first infantry battalion attacked the devil garrison brigade with more than 500 people and more than 800 people, the powerful firepower of the Wu Mu army and the intention to fight unintentionally, the devils were quickly pressed into several strongholds and trapped.
The first battalion of cavalry quickly plugged in, went straight to the goods yard and warehouse of the devils, and easily seized a large number of materials: guns and ammunition, medicine and equipment, grain and oil......
The baggage battalion caught up and loaded and transported away according to the need, and the other materials were guarded by the cavalry battalion, waiting for Cai Tingkai to arrange the receiving troops to receive them.
When the devil reinforcements arrived, the Wu Mu army had already disappeared in the mountains, leaving only the ferocious guerrillas looting the remaining supplies.
Three days later, the Maoming plunder was exactly the same as Yangjiang. Wu Lei commanded the 2nd Infantry Battalion to attack Maoming City first, the 2nd Cavalry Battalion plundered supplies, and the guerrillas were finished. It's just that the baggage battalion is still on the way to transport the supplies back, and Wu Lei uses the trucks of his cavalry battalion to transport the supplies back.
Another 3 days later, after completing the transportation task, the baggage battalion arrived at Wu Ting's third cavalry battalion. So Wu Ting commanded the 3rd Infantry Battalion and the 3rd Cavalry Battalion to replicate the plundering battles of Yangjiang and Maoming in Beihai, but the materials were more abundant, and Wu Lei's transport team unloaded the materials halfway and responded to Wu Ting.
After another three days, Wu Lei led the 2nd Cavalry Battalion and the 1st Infantry Battalion, which had rested for 2 days, to stage the Wumu Army-style plundering battle again in Qinzhou.
In 10 days, 4 cities were severely damaged, a large number of supplies were looted, and the defense line of various troops was shattered due to reinforcements from all sides. The commander of the 22nd Army of the Devil's Garrison was furious and ordered an investigation, and the result was that the tactics and firepower equipment of the four cities attacked were the same, and they should have been done by the same army!
Jiu Na Chengyi was mad at this result: an army of less than 2,000 people was able to gallop more than 400 kilometers in 10 days, conquer cities, make cities in Lianke 4, and plunder nearly 10,000 tons of materials, which is simply fantastical, impossible! Intelligence agencies are shameful rice buckets! If the Chinese army has such troops, what qualifications does the imperial army have to attack China! However, the results of the investigation are like this, and Jiu Nacheng can't find any flaws. The army headquarters privately rumored that there was a ghost unit in the Shina army, and Seiichi Kuna also ordered all units to strengthen their vigilance and not to go into battle lightly.
After Liu Maoer created the legend of South China, he first ordered the troops to rest and recuperate, and personally counted and captured: 6 150mm field howitzers; 6 75mm field guns; 12 75mm mountain guns; 28 Type 92 infantry guns; 27 90mm light mortars; 16 short mortars of 150mm; 19 sniper anti-aircraft guns; 6 20mm anti-aircraft guns; 99 heavy machine guns, 257 light machine guns, 1,756 38 rifles; 158 pistols of the southern type; a number of ammunition; 12 radio stations, 48 telephone exchanges, and 324 telephones; a number of batteries; 149 trucks; 23 motorcycles; oil 2025 barrels; 389 carts; 4 tons of explosives; canned food, biscuits, condensed milk, chocolate; 145 tons of white sugar and 450 tons of brown sugar...... I really don't know how so many supplies were brought back.
Liu Maoer rewarded the troops for killing chickens and sheep, and then ordered them to attack Zhanjiang again. Liu Mao'er must strike while the iron is hot to prevent the devil from coming up with any countermeasures!
This time, it was a combined attack of three troops. 3 cavalry battalions attacked Beihai, Maoming, and Zhanjiang: Wu Lei led the 2nd cavalry battalion with the strongest firepower to attack Zhanjiang; The third battalion of the Wuting cavalry had slightly weaker firepower and attacked Maoming; The 1st Cavalry Battalion had the weakest firepower and attacked Beihai to prevent Beihai from reinforcing Zhanjiang; Three infantry battalions then followed up with Zhanjiang; The artillery battalion followed up with 6 75mm mountain guns and 6 field guns, and the special service battalion had set off ahead of schedule with a large number of meteor flying mines.
The terrain around Zhanjiang was flat, which was not conducive to a sudden attack by the Wu Mu army. As soon as the spy battalion left the mountains, it was discovered by the devils and handed over fire. According to Liu Mao'er's order, he no longer went deep into the plains, but retreated to the edge of the mountains to fight a blocking battle.
Originally, the special service battalion did not have much heavy firepower, but in order to facilitate the combat nature of the special service battalion, it was equipped with a large number of war horses and pack horses, and the meteor flying mines carried this time could not be used for other purposes, so they could only rely on light machine guns, grenadiers, strange lights, and standing javelin flying mines to meet the enemy.
With just over 300 men, the Special Services Battalion is one of the smallest of all battalion-level units and the most elite of the troops. They occupied more than 10 small hills and blocked the enemy's attack.
They arranged grenadiers at the foot of the mountain, strange light on the mountainside, light machine guns on the top of the mountain, and several hills supported each other.
The devil found that the special service battalion was well-equipped and thought it was an elite unit, so he actually mobilized a garrison brigade to attack. Fortunately, the firepower of the devil garrison brigade is not very strong, more than 800 people only have 2 90mm mortars, 6 heavy machine guns, and other light firepower is far worse than that of the special service battalion.
The devil is also very smart, and only attacks the 3 hilltop positions on the periphery, and does not go deep. The spy battalion was not stupid, and immediately withdrew the garrison on the three hills and let the devils in. The devil did not dare to go deeper into the position of the Wumu army, and only confronted the special battalion at the mountain pass, waiting for reinforcements.
As soon as Seichi received a report, he found the ghost unit of the Shina Army. After careful analysis, although the dense light firepower resembles a ghost unit, it has no cavalry and heavy firepower, and the scale is much smaller, and it can be confirmed that this force may have something to do with the ghost army, but it is by no means a ghost force, or it is not the main force of the ghost army. But what does the appearance of this force mean? Yes, it is a feint force that attracts the attention of the imperial army, so where is the main direction of attack of the Chinese army? Maoming? North Sea? Or Qinzhou? It must not be Zhanjiang, Zhanjiang has a brigade of the imperial army, and if you attack Zhanjiang, the feint should be in other directions; But Maoming, Beihai, and Qinzhou have just been attacked, so why are they attacking again so soon? Ah, it was the new arrival of the poison gas bomb in Maoming that attracted the people of China!
Jiu Na Chengyi suddenly realized, thinking that he had seen the intentions of the Chinese army, and hurriedly ordered the troops to transfer the poison gas bombs.
Wu Lei arrived at the mountain pass, and saw that the special service battalion was fighting with the devils, regardless of 3721, he launched a strong attack: after a round of artillery bombardment by the artillery company of the second cavalry battalion, the cavalry battalion quickly attacked, tore apart the devil's defense line, and went straight to Zhanjiang, the anti-tank air defense company behind followed and swept the devil garrison brigade, and the 12.7mm bullets of 9 anti-aircraft machine guns beat the devils within 2000 meters on both sides to flesh and blood, and the artillery company took the opportunity to keep up with the cavalry company in front, and the three companies rushed towards Zhanjiang at high speed, and the transport company chased closely behind, providing ammunition replenishment. The special service battalion can only follow behind the cavalry battalion to stain and pick up leaks.
As soon as Jiu Nacheng received the report that the Wu Mu army was approaching Zhanjiang, he repeatedly praised the feint attack of the ghost army of the Chinese army was very realistic! Because there were also ghost troops in the direction of Maoming, and ghost troops also appeared in the direction of Beihai, Jiuna Chengyi believed that only the ghost troops in Maoming were the main attacking forces, so he sent 2 brigades to reinforce the troops in Maoming, and at the same time, 1 brigade in Yangjiang fully supported Maoming, so as to annihilate or severely damage this ghost army!
Wu Ting's third cavalry battalion just flicked a shot in Maoming, and then rushed to Zhanjiang, just in time to catch up with the devil gas transport team retreating towards Zhanjiang. Seeing that it was a poison gas bomb, Wu Ting hurriedly led the team to retreat, put on gas masks, and ordered the heavy machine guns to be erected together with the light machine guns and grenade machine guns
The fire strike continued, and the devil convoy emitted thicker green smoke.
When the poison gas dissipated, Wu Ting ordered the troops to speed up, and the heavy bombardment company was left to deal with the poison gas bombs. The heavy bombing even saw that the devil's death was miserable, so he simply cleaned the battlefield, only took equipment and did not have military uniforms, and wiped the undestroyed gas bombs, kept them, and prepared to pay tribute to the devils in the future.
The scouts came to report that a large number of devils were found in front, and Wu Ting hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw from the avenue, cover up the traces, and let the devil brigade continue to march towards Zhanjiang.
As soon as Jiu Nacheng received reports from Maoming and Beihai, the ghost troops of the Chinese army passed by outside the city and did not attack the city. Jiuna Seiichi finally understood that the Zhanjiang he was guarding was the target of the ghost troops, and hurriedly recalled the troops sent to Maoming, and at the same time ordered the three infantry brigades in Zhanjiang, the artillery brigade, the cavalry brigade, the engineer brigade, and the baggage brigade to prepare for battle.
