Chapter 31: The Battle of Danyang
The Secret Service was bustling with activity. This time the task was assigned, and the spies were punished the most, and almost all fronts had the tasks of the secret service: collecting intelligence, cooperating with the mission, looting materials, which task was very enjoyable, and it was a question of who was going to enjoy it, so everyone fought for a thick face.
Zhou Dagou has never participated in the looting mission, and this time he is going to have a good time. Everyone unanimously objected: to go to the surrounding cities to collect intelligence, it must be the gangsters and big teapots under him.
Li Jinshan asked to rob, everyone was embarrassed to fight with him, this buddy hadn't tasted meat for a long time, so he had to let him satisfy his hunger.
Wan Zixiong and Lu Ao can also make do, Zhou Dagou can't do too much work, and the two brothers can do it in a little bit.
The worst is Liu Maoer. He is the big leader, and he has to sit in the West Mountain and take overall command. Liu Mao'er was in a hurry, so he said that Li Jinshan agreed to let him take control.
In the end, it was decided that Li Jinshan was responsible for the looting task on the front line of Nanjing; Zhou Dagou is responsible for the front-line intelligence collection and material procurement in Shanghai; Wan Zixiong is responsible for intelligence collection and material procurement in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Wuxing, Ningbo and other front-lines; Lu Ao is responsible for intelligence collection and material procurement on the front lines of the Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Nanjing and Nanjing-Shanghai railways; In the end, Liu Maoer decided to go west to be responsible for intelligence collection and material procurement in Dangtu, Wuhu, Chaohu, Tongling, and Hefei; In addition to Li Jinshan, each brought a Wu brother, and the Wu brothers who were watching also jumped up.
In the midst of the commotion, the signal corps summoned a group of villains to the headquarters to discuss the battle plan
On the highway between Danyang and Jurong, there were more than 100 trucks heading to Nanjing, which was estimated to be a transport brigade of the Japanese army. On the road to Jurong, a Japanese truck was blown up on the side of the road, Japanese corpses and wounded were placed on both sides of the road, a group of Japanese sappers were carefully detecting mines, Feng Jiuzhong was busy directing traffic, he was Liu Chenghai's deputy captain, and Liu Chenghai was rescued by Shi Jilun together with the ** officer, because he knew Japanese and became an "ordinary soldier" of the Japanese army, and was dutifully directing the convoy to detour to Jintan.
"Baga!" A Japanese soldier Zhongzuo came over and gave Feng Jiuzhong a slap in the face, "The front is a non-security zone, do you want us to send us to death?!" ”
"Hay! Report Zuo, Jintan troops have already responded in front! Feng Jiuzhong's face was full of grievances and still stood upright, with the face of a standard imperial soldier.
"I'm sorry!" The Japanese army was a little apologetic, and there was a hint of humanity in his eyes.
"Hay!" Feng Jiuzhong is still like that.
After the Japanese convoy passed, the "Japanese" sappers, "wounded" and "corpses" at the intersection all stood up and planted mines on the road where the Japanese troops had walked.
At the foot of Maoshan Mountain, the Japanese convoy stopped. At the commanding heights, a group of Japanese troops was on the alert. Eight marching pots were erected on the side of the road, and the pots were filled with fragrant rice and boiled meat, and the drivers and guards of the convoy were waiting in line to eat, and many soldiers were squatting on the side of the road to eat the incense.
"Baga!" It was this Zhongzuo who came over, raised his hand and fanned towards Liu Chenghai, who organized the "reception", and before Zhongzuo's hand touched Liu Chenghai, he was knocked unconscious by Zhao Da'er on the side, and then carried it and left. Before the other Japanese soldiers could understand it, a large pot of rice and broth splashed over. The "receptionist" ran away.
The Japanese did not even take a gun except for the sentry, and the sentry was put down by the cold gun almost at the same time! As soon as the other devils heard the gunshots, they immediately fell down in training. Taking advantage of this, Liu Chenghai and the others had already run into the canal 40 meters away, and then, grenades and grenades flew towards the convoy like dumplings.
The Japanese army was indeed fierce and quickly organized formations, some defending, some counterattacking.
When the counterattacking devils rushed to 10 meters in front of the ambush position, the trench spewed out as many bullets as many grains of rice, and many devils finally saw the coveted submachine guns, and there were dozens, and more than 200 devils fell in front of the trench. The devil who was not afraid of death retreated. Li Jinshan believes that there is no one who is not afraid of death except himself.
"Rush forward!" Yoo Seung-hae and Lee Jin-san shouted out almost at the same time.
The soldiers rushed forward with shouts, and the submachine gunners were followed by the guard company of the headquarters, which was all with a shell gun in the left hand and a Japanese sword in the right hand. Soon, there were not many devils left, and the desperate devils pulled grenades one after another, wounding many soldiers, and finally there was not a single devil standing.
The convoy was loaded with 100,000 catties of rice, 120 barrels of gasoline, 3 tons of explosives, and gun repair equipment and other materials to Maoshan, and also carried more than 100 unconscious devils. This time, Wu Mujun went against the practice of leaving no prisoners and kept more than 100 devils captive. This is Zhao Dahu's order, he thinks it's a pity to kill so many devils, he keeps these devils for another purpose.
After this ambush, both Maoshan and Xishan ceased military activities. The devil will definitely take revenge after suffering such a big loss, so the Wu Mu army is ready to practice defensive battles.
In Maoshan, the notice that the devils are going to sweep has long been spread. Grain, livestock, chickens and ducks are all hidden, and there are many caves in Maoshan to hide these things.
In Xishan, a market is crowded with people. "Kill devils" fellows gather more and more.
A row of 5 devils was pushed to the front. "Who wants to kill devils to sign up here! It's free! No money! The officer on duty shouted.
50 villagers received a hardwood stick, and under the order of the officer on duty, 5 devils were smashed into a puddle of flesh.
"Next group!" The officer on duty shouted.
Five more devils were pushed to the front.
"I surrender!" A devil screamed.
"I surrender!" "I surrender!" The devils shouted one after another. It seems that the spirit of bushido can't help but be smashed with a stick!
In this way, after the villagers vented their anger, more than 1,000 people joined the army, and all of them were good guys under the age of 20.
To the west of the northern foot of Maoshan Mountain, the devil has completed the "iron wall encirclement". Shells hit the woods on the hill one after another. This is not a devil test firing, but fire reconnaissance, more than a dozen guns watchers scan the mountain, the slightest abnormality is a fire coverage. There was not a single figure to be seen on the mountain, except for startled birds and the occasional wild beast that sprang out.
The devil infantry has finally been dispatched.
"My cigarettes are gone, who will go to the devil's pocket and turn over a box for me later, I will come out of the ocean!" He Laifu said to his subordinates around him.
"Tom", "tom", "tom", "tom", "
The devil's horn sounded, and the charging devil retreated. Then the shelling began again, and soon a passage was blown up in the minefield.
The devil rushed up again. After fierce shooting, the devil finally broke through the passage of the minefield. At this time, many soldiers of the Wumu Army rushed out with bayonets. When the devil saw it, he hurriedly withdrew the bullet and prepared for a white-knuckle battle. A strange military horn sounded on the mountain, and the charging soldiers of the Wumu Army suddenly squatted forward with all their bayonets on the ground, and the devils were stunned, and they didn't know what they meant, and the submachine guns on the opposite side swept over. The devils have never seen such a strong firepower since they were born, let alone in backward China. So the emperor's warriors retreated, and another group fell under the fire of the riflemen of the Mumu army.
The devil retreated, and the Wu Mu army quickly returned to the position, and the devil officer realized that the people on the opposite side didn't want to fight bayonets at all! Takeda Happongi Daisa, the captain of the Devil 77 Wing, was angry, and there were less than 100 people left in the two squadrons.
On Wu Mujun's position, He Laifu counted the oceans with a sad face: his 9 soldiers "turned over" sixteen boxes of cigarettes for him, except for a few left by himself, the rest were all distributed to the brothers, 16 oceans, this cigarette is too expensive!
To the east of the northern foot of Maoshan Mountain, He Laifu's three battalions are deployed here. The mountains here are gentle, and there is a large thatched wasteland in front of it, which is very suitable for Japanese assaults. The surprisingly quiet made the soldiers very uneasy: what are the devils playing? It's so uncomfortable to lie on the ground like this.
At this time, He Laifu in the west began to "enjoy" his fire bath: the devil fired an incendiary bomb this time, and He Laifu was surrounded by a sea of fire, so smoked that He Laifu no longer wanted to smoke.
At this time, Zhao Dahu patrolled over: "Organize a retreat!" ”
"No, my three battalions are still in the east, they will be attacked on their backs!" Why is he in a hurry!
"You stupid! With such a big wildfire, the devil can't get by! "Expect the enemy to know himself, at this time, Fang shows the true character of Zhao Dahu's veteran.
"Good! I sent someone to inform the Third Battalion and tell them to be careful! He Laifu also understands the truth.
"You inform the 3rd Battalion to leave one platoon and more submachine guns, and the rest will join us and the 2nd Battalion in the north."
"Shall we not go to the south? Yoo Seung-hae is isolated! "He Laifu is very righteous.
"Don't go! Originally, we were separated by a mountain road, and we were fighting on our own. Do you believe it or not? The devil has already laid a good trick for us on the road through the mountains. Besides, they have a good terrain, don't worry! ”
"The north side is all flat, it's hard to guard!"
"Who said it was kept? Let's attack Danyang! ”
"Huh?!" He Laifu was stunned by lightning for a moment, and then immediately reacted, "High! High! Boss Zhao deserves to be Boss Zhao! ”
"Herald! Retreat north! "He Laifu has come to the spirit.
As soon as it was dark, He Laifu's troops had been assembled. "Rest in place, eat, don't light a fire!"
At this time, a platoon that had remained on the east side returned to the line. Listening to the platoon commander's report, He Laifu grinned and was covered by the guard, "Captain, silence!" ”
He Laifu held back his laughter and gave an order: "Eat first, and then you will lead the way and return the same way!" ”
It turned out that as soon as it was dark, the devils on the opposite side began to sneak attack. When a large number of devils entered the thatched field, several signal flares came from behind the hill bag and set the thatched field on fire. The thatched grass was sprinkled with tung oil and vegetable oil, and there were many small explosive bags, which were wrapped in thick rags and rags soaked in beeswax and butter. The burning thatch ignited the small explosives packets, and the rags that had been added with the ingredients burned wherever they came, causing heavy casualties to the devils.
Just when the devil's health soldiers were busy rescuing their compatriots who were "roasted" by the war, He Laifu led people to kill them again. After a burst of "baptism" of machine guns and submachine gun bullets, the devils watched He Laifu and them go away.
He Laifu dived in the direction of Danyang, and along the way, the troops continued to scatter improvised mines, that is, they pulled off the devil's grenades and threw them in ditches and ridges without knocking them into the ditches, planted some mines on the main road, and dug many potholes and filled them back.
After Zhao Dahu broke through with He Laifu's department, he infiltrated Liu Chenghai's defense area with Zhao's guard platoon.
Liu Chenghai's style of play is completely different from He Laifu. He did not take advantage of the advantageous terrain to block the attack, but lured the enemy to go deeper, closed the door and beat the dog. After the devil entered the mountain, he quickly divided his troops to occupy the village and guard the intersection.
In the village, the devils searched from house to house. Kick open a door, and the grenade on the door will explode; and when they rush into the house, they will be beaten with a stick; A few devils rushed into the yard, and grenades flew down from the house; From time to time, one or two grenades flew out of the yard to kill and injure the devils on the street; The devil found that there were holes in the walls behind the firewood stacks, water tanks, and even New Year's pictures in each household. The devils from all walks of life who entered the village did not hear a single gunshot, and they lost more than 200 people in one day, so that the devils did not dare to enter outside the village.
The devils at the intersection often hear gunshots, but every time a gunshot is fired, a devil is killed or injured.
When it was dark, all the devils withdrew from the southern area of Maoshan, and they were guarding outside with no way to start.
When Zhao Dahu led people to sneak into Maoshan Mountain, he almost became his own gun's ghost, if it weren't for Zhao Da'er's rare figure among the Japanese, Zhao Dahu and his party were almost suddenly attacked by Liu Chenghai's machine gun secret whistle! Seeing Liu Chenghai, Zhao Dahu was full of praise after hearing the battle situation: "Old Liu, this is not what you learned from the Japanese, right?" How do I look like the Red Army's routine counts wow! "Zhao Dahu fought with the Red Army and knows those roads.
"Report sir, it's the first time I've fought guerrilla warfare, and I learned from Li Jinshan and Liu Maoer."
"Fuck these bunny cubs are really good, even the apprentices are so awesome! Tell me what's going on? ”
It turned out that when Liu Chenghai was rescued, he was fascinated by this sneaky tactic, he was a great military expert, and immediately understood that this tactic was too practical for the squadron that was not as strong as the Japanese army. After the reorganization of the army, the first-class veterans under his command quickly ran in on tactics such as defensive warfare, offensive battles, positional warfare, sports warfare, squad combinations, and platoon combinations. Therefore, Liu Chenghai specially invited Liu Maoer, Li Jinshan and other bandit-born leaders to guide guerrilla warfare and street fighting. In this battle of Maoshan, he agreed with He Laifu that He Laifu would practice regular warfare: positional defense, counter-assault, and breakthrough; He practiced guerrilla warfare: street fighting, sneak attacks, intersperses, infiltration; Judge Qingyun.
"Wow! This is enough for the devil! Zhao Dahu forgot the majesty of the chief and shouted.
He Laifu, with the cooperation of Li Jinshan's department, successfully took Danyang and seized a large number of materials at Danyang Railway Station. The Japanese army in Maoshan had no choice but to withdraw their troops and recapture Danyang.
On the periphery of Danyang, He Laifu began to practice his positional defense again: position depth, fire support, cross configuration, mine array, anti-artillery attack, air raid, hand-to-hand combat, and anti-stabbing had a lot of fun! Even the fierce air raid of the devils was carried by the anti-artillery hole designed by Wang Laodun!
Takeda Daisa is going crazy. The Danyang position in front was not taken, and the artillery array behind was attacked by Liu Chenghai, who was tracked down, except for a group of wounded soldiers who were cut off the second child, not even a single shell scum was left, fortunately not in their backs. In fact, Liu Chenghai was afraid that He Laifu's prosperity would affect unity, so he had no choice but to pull the captured 6 92 infantry guns into Danyang and participate in the task of escorting the convoy.
He Laifu pinned down the Takeda United for three days and two nights, covering Qi Yuankai's transport team to transport Danyang's supplies. During this period, Liu Chenghai's ministry also took Jintan, ensuring that Qi Yuankai's transport team entered Maoshan smoothly. During the day, Japanese planes frantically bombed Danyang Railway Station and highways, and Qi Yuanfeng had to transport them at night. At night, automobiles and carts were continuous, with food, ammunition, clothing, medicines, equipment, gold, silver, antiques, steel and timber, and finally all the railroad tracks, sleepers, road spikes, telephones, wires, signal lights, electric bells, water pipes, faucets, water tanks, carriages, locomotives, and door panels of the railway station were looted.
In fact, He Laifubu and Liu Chenghai could completely annihilate the Takeda United, but Zhao Dahu didn't let it, saying that the annihilation of the Takeda United would attract more reinforcements from the devils, so he restrained the Takeda team and made him feel that Danyang could be recaptured every minute.
He Laifu received information that the devil's reinforcements were coming, and he was ready to advance as a retreat, attacking first and then retreating. At this time, Liu Chenghai sent information that the receiving troops had been deployed. He Laifu didn't know how Liu Chenghai arranged it, so he had to retreat step by step.
Under the leadership of Liu Chenghai's signal troops, He Laifu led people to cover the withdrawal from Danyang alternately.
