Chapter 146: Bloody Xiangbei (3)

The 6th Division of the Japanese Army retreated relatively smoothly because the 45th Wing remained in Langli City and the ferry port, and retreated to Langli City in the early morning.

When the 3rd Division began to retreat towards Dongshan, the 79th Army had advanced to the east bank of the Liuyang River near Dongshan and blew up the bridge. In the early morning of the same day, the 3rd Division was blocked by the 79th Army when it reached Dongshan. At this time, the 1st Division of the 4th Army also made a detour from Langli City, south of Changsha City, and then carried out a flank attack on the Japanese 3rd Division from the flank. Under the attack of the 79th Army and the 4th Army, the Japanese 3rd Division fell into confusion, suffered many casualties, and was forced to retreat along the south bank of the Liuyang River to Mopanzhou, trying to cross the river from the point where it came, but was blocked by the intensive fire of the 79th Army on the north bank, and more than 500 people were killed, wounded and drowned, so it was again changed to Langli City, where the 6th Division was located, and retreated to the north bank of the Liuyang River in the early morning of the next day, and joined the 6th Division. At this time, the 4th, 79th, and 26th armies also followed and pursued to the vicinity of Langli City and launched an attack on the Japanese army. The two divisions of the Japanese army retreated north side by side, and the squadron pursued closely. In the early morning of the third day, the two armies retreated to the north bank of the Laodao River, in the Fenglin Harbor area.

When the Japanese 40th Division advanced from Kanai to Chunhua Mountain, it was repeatedly blocked and flanked by the 37th Army along the way, and its 236th Wing suffered heavy casualties, and the 2nd Squadron Leader Mizusawa Teruo, the 5th Squadron Leader Miyake Yoshitomo, and the 6th Squadron Leader Sekida Ikuyoshi were all killed. When they arrived at the Chunhua Mountain area, they were attacked by the 78th Army, so they had to break away from the battle with the 78th Army overnight and retreat through Luojia to the Bachelor Bridge.

After Lu Qingwei and Lu Qingmeng led the assault team to rest for two days, they threw themselves into the pursuit of beating the water dogs, and the opportunity to fish for loot certainly could not be missed.

The 3rd and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army continued to retreat north from the north bank of the Laodao River, and were constantly intercepted and flanked by the squadron along the way. When they entered the Qingshan City, Fulinpu and Yingzhu Mountain areas, they were intercepted and blocked by the 73rd, 20th, 58th, and 37th armies and pursued by the 4th, 26th, and 78th armies, and the 3rd and 6th divisions were surrounded in this area. In order to cope with the retreat of the 3rd and 6th Divisions, Anami Weiki ordered the independent mixed 9th Brigade to go south to relieve the siege. That night, the brigade launched an attack on Mount Yingzhu. The 20th Army, the 58th Army, which was acting as a blockade in the area, immediately counterattacked. After fierce fighting throughout the night, the brigade was routed, and one of its integrated brigades was surrounded near Shadow Pearl Mountain. The battle lasted until the morning of the next day, and all the officers and men of the brigade were annihilated, except for one soldier who escaped, and all the officers and men below the commander Shigeru Yamazaki were annihilated.

The 6th Division attempted to break through to the north, and its 13th Wing was surrounded by the 20th and 58th Armies. Although the 1st Flying Regiment deployed all aircraft to support, the 13th Wing was unable to break out of the encirclement. Wing Commander Yu Chengmin was afraid that the documents would fall into the hands of the squadron after being annihilated, so he ordered all the documents to be burned. After receiving the report that the 6th Division was divided and surrounded, Anan Weiki immediately ordered the 3rd Division, the 40th Division, and the 9th Brigade to advance to Fulinpu and the area north of Yingzhu Mountain from the east of Malin City, Xiangbiqiao, and Yingzhu Mountain, respectively, to relieve the siege of the 6th Division and concentrate their forces to break through and retreat to the north.

In the end, the Japanese 6th and 3rd Divisions successively broke through the interception line, and the 40th Division also withdrew north from the eastern side of Chunhua Mountain. The 99th Army and the 37th Army then intercepted at Mashi Mountain, Mafengzui and other places. The Japanese resisted and retreated. It was not until the next day that the Japanese army retreated to the north bank of the Miluo River before it was able to contain and rectify. After the 20th, 58th, 73rd, 4th, 37th, and 78th armies pursued to the south bank of the Miluo River, the 78th Army crossed the Miluo River from Hukou and carried out an overtaking pursuit to the north of Changle Street.

The 20th Army, the 58th Army, and the 78th Army and other squadrons searched for and annihilated the remaining Japanese troops south of the Miluo River on the one hand, and attacked the Japanese positions north of the Xinqiang River on the other. By the end of the Chinese New Year, the situation before the start of the battle had basically been restored. The command post of the 11th Army was also withdrawn to Hankow.

In this battle, more than half of the instructors were killed and seriously wounded, and more than half of the ** commandos were also killed or wounded, but they gained a lot: 59 mountain artillery guns above 75mm, 68 Type 92 infantry guns, 37 flat guns, 23 automatic guns, 57 mortars above 90mm, a total of 244 artillery pieces, a number of ammunition, 121 heavy machine guns, 317 light machine guns, 289 grenadiers, 3067 rifles, 247 pistols, 405 grenades, a number of ammunition, 23 trucks, 189 large vehicles, 3 carts of drugs and a number of equipment; Destroy countless enemies......

Far from being able to transport so much material by the instructor, the local people helped at the cost of 2 stone of rice per person, and all the loot was divided in half with the assault team, and the friendly forces had no objections.

According to the old rules, Lu Qingyang divided the spoils into 3 parts, kept 1 share for himself, handed over 1 share to the Ninth War Zone, and handed over 1 share to Wu Mujun.

Lu Qingyang kept 9 75mm mountain guns and formed a divisional artillery company; 27 Type 92 infantry guns, 3 regimental artillery companies; 27 anti-aircraft guns or automatic guns and 27 90mm mortars, and 9 battalion artillery platoons; 81 heavy machine guns, and the battalion was formed as a heavy machine gun company.

According to Lu Qingyang's plan, a lot of captured weapons and equipment were not enough to teach the instructor to use it himself, and the rich guns, trucks, carts, and equipment were used to offset the share of friendly troops, and the troops were not very satisfied, but they also had to give Lu Qingyang face.

Wu Mujun has no shortage of weapons and equipment, Jing Yukun agreed that Wu Mujun's share will give Lu Qingyang an emergency, but Lu Qingyang has to offset it with tungsten sand, tung oil, cotton cloth and other materials. Lu Qingyang made an IOU and promised to repay it on time. Lu Qingyang also ordered a batch of strange lights, short shotguns, and gun grenades from Jing Yukun. Anyway, the allies who trained later replaced a month of physical training with a month of tungsten sand, and part of the earthwork was also replaced by a month of tungsten sand.

The chairman of the committee was very unhappy to learn that Lu Qingyang handed over a share to Wu Mujun every time he was captured, and he did not want Lu Qingyang and Wu Mujun to break the silk connection again, and the army's private procurement of weapons is also not allowed by national law and military law! But he was reluctant to be such a fierce general, so he reprimanded Xue Yue and Lu Qingyang, and then He Yingqin came forward to "redeem" Lu Qingyang - to repay the tungsten sand owed on behalf of Lu Qingyang, and attached another 500,000 legal currency or converted into materials, and Lu Qingyang was officially classified into the ** combat sequence.

Although Xue Yue has been trained, it is his own troops that have grown after all, and it is cost-effective to change to an elite division after training!

The equipment is complete, but the entire child education instructor is now less than 600 people, even counting the sideline battalion and guard company, so he reported to the commander's department and asked for the instructors to be transferred from various units.

This time, various group armies and divisions happily sent a large number of backbone cadres to serve as training staff officers, liaison staff officers, reconnaissance staff officers, artillery staff officers, engineer staff officers, artillery instructors, tactical instructors, and cultural instructors...... Everyone wants to stuff their own people into the elite troops!

The instructor can make a name for himself, and he does things fairly, and he does not covet the talents, equipment, and combat exploits of various departments, so most of them are very relieved to let the instructor train the backbone of the operation, and they are also relieved to give away, so. Lu Qingyang has a large number of soldiers and is also angry, and the personnel who submit to the tutor are screened, and those who enter the tutor are either educated, courageous, or physical, in short, they must have some strengths and foundations.

At the battle summary meeting, Lu Qingyang's instructor once again made a big splash: pre-war reconnaissance captured devil officers and obtained information on the military deployment of the Japanese army; interfering with the command of the devil's plane; Effectively blocking the vanguard of the Japanese army; effective interspersed infiltration, raiding and harassing behind enemy lines, and destroying Japanese supplies and artillery; Defending Changsha City, skillfully using Japanese to disrupt the devil's attack, and capturing a large number of Japanese supplies and equipment......

Xue Yue also specifically asked for credit for Tong Jingya, and the chairman of the committee thought it was inappropriate to promote Tong Jingya too quickly, but promised to be promoted to colonel in a year. However, Lu Qingyang was offended by his military exploits due to his private purchase of arms, and he was not rewarded or punished! But all the high-ranking officials can see clearly between the virtual and the real: Lu Qingyang has been supplemented by real benefits!

After this battle, Lu Qingyang realized that the superb penetration ability of the Wu Mu Army is not something that can be mastered by ** soldiers in a short period of time, so the difficulty of interspersed infiltration is no longer required to be foolproof, but combined with the fierce and hard fighting, if it is successfully interspersed behind the enemy, that is, to cut off the devil's transportation line and the high command as the combat goal, if it is not successful, it will attack the devil's front fire position or forward command post, in short, no matter how deep this sword pierces, the devil will spew blood and lose flesh!

In order to verify the effect of the tactical plan, Xue Yue ordered Lu Qingyang to lead the newly formed instructors to conduct seven days of tactical training and deployment, explain the tactical intentions, and set out from Tongcheng, the defense area of the 27th Group Army, to attack and occupy the section of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway from Chibi to Linxiang for three days.

For the instructor who has just gone through a short 7-day training, Lu Qingyang also has no bottom in his heart, there is no problem in winning a section of the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, the problem is how to hold it for 3 days, and to seize enough loot, the instructor can't fight a battle to lose money!

Lu Qingyang summoned a cadre of brothers and officers at and above the battalion level of the unit to urgently discuss the battle plan, arrange reconnaissance, deploy training, and prepare for the campaign. Their combat target was the Yanglousi Railway Station east of Linxiang.

Lu Qingmeng led the three regiments to set off overnight and arrived at Guijiawan and Zengjiaao before dawn to stand by. As the main attack regiment, Lu Qingxian, Lu Qingcai, and Lu Qingfu were transferred to serve as commanders of the three battalions, and Lu Qingniu was responsible for commanding the artillery company under the regiment.

Received a telegram from the scout in front that a train had departed from Chibi. Lu Qingmeng immediately sent Lu Qingfuying to set off, went out to Tunshan and Shuangshan, and when the train entered the station, he launched an attack on the Yanglousi Railway Station, Yanglousi Town, and Tongdingshan east of the railway station in Jianshan.

Because the Yanglousi Railway Station is the key point of the Hanyue section of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway (Hankou - Yueyang), there is a railway garrison stationed by the devil, and three squadrons are stationed in the town of Yanglousi, the Jianshan Railway Station outside the town, and the commanding heights of the east of the railway station, Tongdingshan. There is a squadron, 2 turrets, and 1 stronghold compound in the town; There is a squadron with 3 heavy machine guns and 7 cement bunkers in the railway station; An infantry squadron of the devils is stationed at the foot of Tongding Mountain, and there is a fire position on the mountain, equipped with 2 mortars and 3 heavy machine guns.

Lu Qingfu arranged the three mortars of the battalion's artillery platoon in Tunshan, set up to shoot at Zhuyuan at the fire position of the devils in Tongdingshan, and the other troops were lurking in Tunshan and Shuangshan to stand by.

The devil's train came with black smoke and did not stop at the Yanglousi Railway Station. Lu Qingfu ordered 3 flat-fire guns to blow up the railroad tracks with 3 consecutive shots. The devils on Tongding Mountain immediately looked for the target and prepared a fire counterattack, but they were covered by the fire of the three mortars of the artillery platoon that had been prepared for a long time.

The flat-firing guns quickly turned their guns around and bombarded the three pillboxes south of the railway, and the infantry quickly rushed up and quickly took the three pillboxes south of the railway. However, the train blocked the four pillboxes on the north side of the railway, and when the Wu Mu army rushed up, the devils had already rushed out with the fire support in the pillboxes to occupy the train and the roadbed, and the mortars and heavy machine guns on Tongding Mountain also eased up and intercepted the attacking troops.

Lu Qingfu's mortar launched a counter-suppression of the devil's fire on Tongding Mountain, but the flat-fire artillery was helpless against the situation of the melee on both sides of the railway.

Lu Qingfu a company around the train and the devil shooting, the infantry on both sides across the roadbed of about 10 meters to carry out the attack, although at this time the instructor's equipment is not as sophisticated as the special combat team, but each squad also has 1 light machine gun, 1 strange light, 1 short shotgun, 8 rifles, plus a large number of grenades, quickly occupied the train and the roadbed, but because the train blocked the range of the flat-fire guns, the troops were blocked by the fire of the devil's bunker behind the roadbed and the train.

A company went straight to the stronghold of the devils on Tongdingshan, and was covered by flat-fire guns and heavy machine guns behind, but was flanked by the fire point of the bunker used as the first railway station, and the attack was blocked.

Seeing that the troops' attack was ineffective, Lu Qingfu personally rushed to the front line, commanded a short shotgun to climb to the roof of the car, bombarded the devil's bunker with a gun grenade, and at the same time commanded the mortar to bombard the devil's bunker, and the troops finally rushed into the railway station and started a melee with the devil.

A company attacking Tongdingshan did not have the flank attack, and was covered by anti-aircraft guns and heavy machine guns, and quickly defeated the devils and occupied the Tongdingshan position.

As for the devils in Yanglousi Town, when they came out to reinforce the railway station, they were firmly blocked in the town by Lu Qingfu's other company, and when they saw that the other two devils were defeated, they also retreated back into the town and planned to hold on.

Lu Qingfu now has the upper hand, and immediately transferred the flat-fire guns. Seeing that the situation was not good, the devil took the initiative to withdraw from the town and retreated to the position of Wutong Mountain to the west. Unexpectedly, Wutong Mountain had already been taken by Lu Qingcaiying, so it had to withdraw to the old house to the north and join the other two routed troops.

Lu Qingmeng caught up and commanded Lu Qingfu's battalion to continue the pursuit, and Lu Qingxian's battalion was stationed at the railway station, Yanglou Sizhen and Tongdingshan positions.

The occupation of the Yanglou Division was very smooth, and it was over before noon. However, Lu Qingmeng did not ease down, the devil must fight back! According to the predetermined plan, Lu Qingmeng arranged for Lu Qingfu's battalion to be stationed in the Tongdingshan position in the east to resist the enemy's counterattack in the east; Lu Qingcai's camp was stationed at Wutong Mountain to resist the enemy's counterattack from the west; Lu Qingxian's battalion was stationed at the railway station to resist the counterattack of the devil railway garrison in the north; The 9 infantry guns of the artillery company of the Luqing Niu Regiment used the train as a barrier to take advantage of the other infantry battalions; The transport battalion of the 27th Army was responsible for transporting goods from the train......

The devil's plane soon came to the sky above Yanglousi, but it was extremely difficult to target the target. The troops dominated by the soldiers of the Sichuan army all wore coats, which could protect them from rain and cold, and now they had another function -- air defense, they lit the clothes and hay and wet grass, and the billowing smoke obscured the vision of the devil's plane. The devil pilot also learned to be clever and knew that flying at low altitude would be attacked by anti-aircraft fire, so he picked up the target he could see and dropped a few aerial bombs, and then strafed indiscriminately and returned home.

The Yanglousi Railway Station was occupied, and Anan Weiji really jumped up like his tail was burned by the fire: "What's the matter? How can the people of China still have combat effectiveness? Immediately recapture the Yanglousi Railway Station and open up the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway! ”

As a result, the devils in Linxiang and Chibi immediately sent two reinforced brigades in an attempt to besiege and recapture the Yanglou Division with the devil railway garrison north of the Yanglou Division on three sides.

The devils of Linxiang arrived first, but were stopped by Lu Qingcaiying in Wutong Mountain. The devil's spearhead squad soon discovered the Zhina troops on Wutong Mountain, but the forward alert squad sent by Lu Qingcai whined and wailed after a round of strafing. In order to eliminate the devil's top soldier class, Lu Qingcai sent 3 ambush soldiers. Is it cheap, how much is earned, Lu Qingcai is not too little!

Seeing that the top soldier squad was quickly wiped out, the devil immediately launched a battle formation and launched a semi-encirclement towards Wutong Mountain, erected two reinforced mortars and two infantry guns of the brigade's subordinate artillery squad, and assigned heavy machine guns to three squadrons, and launched an attack from the northwest, due west, and southwest.

Lu Qingcai sat on the high ground, saw the devil's offensive situation clearly, and couldn't help sneering: The devil's path is nothing more than that.

Because his subordinates were all veterans, Lu Qingcai put the devil within 100 meters before firing. Under the cover of heavy machine gun fire, the devils came up and attacked in a wave formation, trying to take Wutong Mountain in one fell swoop.

Lu Qingcai's men fired back sporadically, but it was just the sniping of the sniper squad, and the devil squad leader, squad leader, machine gunner, and grenadier were killed one after another.

The devil sniper immediately counterattacked, Lu Qingcai lost 3 snipers, but the gun grenade immediately covered the devil sniper position, and the light machine gun immediately returned fire intensively, and the strange light and rifle dealt with the devil infantry.

There were only 3 waves of the devil's wave array, which was blocked by Lu Qingcai's infantry. Seeing that the situation was not good, the captain of the devil brigade hurriedly gathered his troops and only attacked all the way from the northwest, so 4 artillery pieces and 8 heavy machine guns opened fire together, and attacked Lu Qingcai's 3 companies.

The 3rd Company was wider than the other two companies in the defensive front, but it could not accommodate the devils to deploy a large group of troops, but the devils set up more waves of wave formations, plus the cover of concentrated fire from artillery and heavy machine guns, the 3rd Company was still under a lot of pressure. However, Lu Qingcai just did not send reinforcements -- only in this way could the troops' will to fight be tempered and tempered.

The machine guns, strange lights, short shotguns and grenades of the 3rd company are not vegetarian, the fortifications are reinforced with rails and sleepers on the railway, and the threat of the devil's heavy machine gun is not big, but the artillery is more troublesome, but the commander of the 3rd company sent a squad and 4 short shotguns to the devil's side, attacked the devil's artillery position, killed the devil's 1 mortar, 2 heavy machine guns, and also killed 4 soldiers.

The devil couldn't take the frontal position, so he sent a squadron of roundabout troops to attack from the north. Lu Qingyang saw it clearly and blocked the devil's circuitous route with 3 heavy machine guns.

The devil finally saw the position of the heavy machine gun of the Chinese people, and the artillery immediately adjusted the firing of Zhu Yuan, preparing to destroy the heavy fire of the Chinese people; Unexpectedly, Lu Qingcai's artillery had already aimed at the devil's artillery for a long time, and as soon as the heavy machine gun fired, he knew that the devil was going to shell the heavy machine gun, so the mortar opened fire first, destroying the devil's artillery position in an instant, and the flat-fire gun quickly destroyed the devil's heavy machine gun position.

The devil didn't expect that the people of China had so many artillery, and almost all the heavy firepower was destroyed, so this battle couldn't be fought! The captain of the devil brigade wisely decided that the troops should retreat 1,000 meters and wait for reinforcements.

Lu Qingcai did not pursue, and consumed with the devil. At this time, the devils of Chibi also arrived, a large group of infantry, 4 75mm mountain guns, arrived by train, immediately built an artillery position, and the infantry took the train carriage as the starting position to attack the Tongdingshan position.

Lu Qingfu saw that the devil had heavy artillery, and his own mortars and flat-fire guns could not do it, so he ordered the artillery not to be exposed, and only used the nine heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun company to provide fire support to the infantry.

The devil didn't know that his mountain artillery had deterred the artillery of the Zhina, so he only bombarded Lu Qingfu's position with the infantry artillery of the brigade, and this heavy machine gun covered the infantry charge.

At this time, Lu Qingniu called and asked if he wanted to get rid of the devil artillery, and Lu Qingfu replied: I want a complete mountain artillery! Lu Qingniu didn't say much.

It was dark, and Lu Qingfu sent a company to attack. In fact, it is enough to use a platoon to get rid of the devil artillery, but Lu Qingfu wants to capture the devil artillery, so he not only sent a company, but also 20 pack horses.

When Lu Qingmeng learned that Lu Qingfu was going to seize the devil's mountain cannon, he hurriedly called to stop it, you can't be too greedy in the war, it's not good to steal chickens and rice! However, Lu Qingfu's troops had already set off.

Coincidentally, Lu Qingfu's sneak attack troops met the devil's sneak attack troops, and both sides ruined each other's good deeds, so Ping Pong did it. The company commander who led the team sent by Lu Qingfu was very experienced, and ordered the troops to stick it up, fight with grenades, and try not to shoot! The stupid devil suffered a big loss, and hurriedly fired flares with grenadiers, exposing himself even more, and was blown up by locust-like grenades with nowhere to hide, so he had to throw down his corpse and equipment and retreat in a hurry.

The devil's mountain cannon still hasn't been saved. **Peng Zesheng, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 398th Regiment of the 133rd Division of the 20th Army, saw that the instructor was acting on the edge of his own defense area, and kept sending people to keep an eye on it. Seeing that the devils actually brought the artillery to their mouths, they couldn't help but move their index fingers, and poured the strength of the whole battalion out, taking the artillery positions garrisoned by less than 200 devils in one fell swoop, and capturing 4 mountain guns, 3 light machine guns, 2 grenadiers, and more than 10 rifles. Originally, it was a fantasy to take down 200 devils with more than 400 people in the equipment and combat quality of the Sichuan army, but Peng Zesheng received training from his instructor, and took the lead with the whole battalion's barge guns, submachine guns, and grenades, and quickly rushed into the devil's artillery position, and caught the devil off guard. In the end, it was captured at the cost of more than 100 casualties.

Lu Qingxian's troops did not engage the enemy, and only sent one company, a heavy machine gun company, and an artillery platoon to monitor the railway garrison of the devils in the north, and the other two companies mainly guided the dismantling of the equipment of the railway station. Lu Qingxian found that the devil's phone could still get through, so he shook the phone together, and regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, he wanted to talk to the emperor directly......

Anan Wei didn't dare to draw too many troops to fight for the Yanglousi Railway Station, for fear that the people of China would have some traps, so they would give him a transfer from the mountain or something, and then launch a comprehensive counterattack, so they could only improve the defense line first, and then transfer troops to fight for the railway station, during which they could only bomb with planes and harass the troops of China, and they also showed that they had taken measures and had an explanation for the above.

Therefore, Lu Qingyang easily guarded the Yanglou Division for 3 days with a regiment of Lu Qingmeng. After coming back, he sat on the ground with Yang Sen and shared the spoils: ammunition, oil, winter clothes, medicines, most of which were sea salt, which was also one of the financial resources for the devil to support the war with war, which became the New Year's goods for Yang Sen and Lu Qingyang.

As for the problem of Peng Zesheng leaving his post without permission and attacking privately, Yang Sen severely reprimanded him, and also divided the captured 4 mountain cannons equally with Lu Qingyang, Lu Qingyang said that Peng Zesheng is also the apprentice of the instructor, even if it is a red envelope for the apprentice for the New Year! On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Peng Zesheng, who had been severely reprimanded, came out of the military justice department and went directly to the post of commander of the 398th Regiment.
