Chapter 104: Zaoyi Shadow (4)
The devil quickly defeated a large number of ** in the north, Liu Qinghe saw that the general trend had gone, and he couldn't wait for the devil to fight back, so he was assigned to the 33rd Group Army according to the arrangement of the Fifth Theater Commander's Department, withdrew to the original 33rd Group Army Defense Area, and prepared to intercept the devils who returned to the defensive ground according to the arrangement of the Fifth Theater Commander's Department.
General Zhang Zizhong's body was finally recovered, and the two spy companies killed and injured hundreds of devils along the way to bury the old chief. The 33rd Group Army headed by Feng Zhi'an was all grateful to Liu Qinghe.
The battle situation changed rapidly, and the devil did not return to the defensive ground as expected, but unexpectedly continued to attack in the direction of Yichang with a tired division. Liu Qinghe participated in the blockade on both sides of the Xiang River with the 33rd Group Army.
Due to the extremely fast advance of the devils and the unexpected direction of attack, the flank of the 33rd Group Army was seriously hit, and Liu Qinghe was once again used as a firefighting team, interspersed with high-speed southward and swept the third division of the devils.
Fortunately, let Liu Qinghe catch the devil's chariot wing. After the Devil Chariot Wing broke through the defense line of the 33rd Group Army, it stopped to replenish ammunition and fuel, and by the way, it rested for a while, and was caught by Liu Qinghe, who was in urgent pursuit.
Receiving the report of the vanguard troops, Liu Qinghe ordered the troops to adjust the queue and move the anti-tank battalion on the flank to the front.
Then, there was a report from the front that the devil actually had 5 or 60 tanks and more than 10 armored vehicles. Liu Qinghe was already red-eyed at this time, and he no longer counted the materials, seizures, and looting, and only wanted to destroy the devil chariot troops. The anti-tank battalion is not enough to compete with so many devil tanks, plus the artillery battalion, the heavy shotguns of the infantry battalion, all the armor-piercing meteor flying mines, armor-piercing javelin flying mines and other anti-tank weapons and troops, and kill the devil tank wing; The cavalry team interspersed at high speed, destroying the devil's fuel base with high-explosive flying mines and burning flying mines.
The devil couldn't imagine that the collapsed army still had such a fierce new force, and he was in a hurry
Anti-aircraft guns destroyed 6 or 7 tanks before the tank units were organized to counterattack.
The anti-aircraft guns of the anti-tank battalion quickly hit the barrels red, and the devil tanks took the opportunity to press up. The soldiers of the Wu Mu Army waited for a long time with the armor-piercing flying mines, and the pieces of armor-piercing flying mines flew towards the devil's tank armored vehicles like locusts.
The first batch of tanks of the devils were all destroyed, and there were not many armor-piercing flying mines left of the Wu Mu army, and the soldiers actually launched a meat attack on the chariot troops.
The soldiers rushed forward under the cover of the wreckage of the devil's tank, carrying heavy shotguns and anti-tank grenades.
Liu Qinghe couldn't control the troops at this time, and watched the soldiers rush up like moths to the flames, and fall down one by one or die with the devil tanks and armored vehicles, and fainted in a hurry.
When Liu Qinghe woke up, he was already in the broken temple of the headquarters, the battle was over, Wu Mujun lost more than 400 people, seriously injured more than 160 people, and slightly injured more than 200 people.
However, this time Liu Qinghe quickly woke up and continued to listen to the battle report: 39 devil tanks and 7 armored vehicles were blown up, a tank supply base for devils was blown up, 4 tanks and 3 armored vehicles were seized, and they were reported to the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater.
The Fifth Theater Commander's Department sent a message of condolence, and General Feng Zhi'an sent a message of condolence, paying tribute to the warriors of the Wu Mu Army! The chairman of the committee also sent a message of condolences to commend the "Third Mobile Brigade of the Third Theater Garrison Command in Southern Jiangsu" and awarded 50,000 yuan (legal currency).
Liu Qinghe's unit was organized into a special column of the Fifth Theater Commander's Department, Liu Qinghe was promoted to major general, and the other personnel were promoted to one rank.
Liu Qinghe doesn't eat that, when will he be a member of Wu Mujun, **The money owed by the troops must be repaid! Wait until the battle is over!
The battle has to go on! The devils successively captured Nanzhang and Yicheng, and formed a flank attack on Jingmen and Dangyang, and Wu Mu's army was left behind by the devil's soldiers.
Liu Qinghe recovered for two days, and the troops also took the opportunity to rest for two days.
Liu Qinghe counted the troops again:
Artillery battalion: more than 170 officers and soldiers have been killed and wounded, and they have been replenished from the ** unit, 2 mountain guns have been lost, more 90mm mortars have been captured than lost, 21 have been captured, ammunition is sufficient, there is little left of meteor flying mines, veterans and recruits need to be run in and trained; Anti-tank battalion: more than 230 officers and soldiers have been killed and wounded, which have been replenished from the ** unit, 4 anti-aircraft guns have been destroyed, armor-piercing flying mines have been exhausted, 11 heavy shotguns have been lost, 19 are left, and the ammunition has been exhausted; In addition, except for the air defense battalion, all battalions have lost personnel, equipment, and ammunition, and the baggage battalion's reserve equipment and ammunition have been exhausted, and there are still reserves of combat dry rations, anti-Japanese enhancement pills, jerky, and medicines; ** Received all the wounded of the Wu Mu Army, so the Wu Mu Army does not have the burden of the wounded at present.
According to the situation, Liu Qinghe reorganized two reinforced battalions: the second and third infantry battalions were each equipped with an artillery company with 8 mortars, and a baggage company with 10 trucks, which were responsible for striking at all devil targets within 10 kilometers and looting materials, and a company of the cavalry battalion and the baggage battalion was responsible for receiving and transporting materials; The 1st Infantry Battalion and the Artillery Battalion are responsible for the defense of the base, with 4 mountain guns and 5 mortars; The Police Battalion is responsible for training recruits; The Special Service Battalion is responsible for replenishment; The health team trains recruits in first aid skills; The anti-tank battalion concentrates all the ammunition of armor-piercing mines and heavy shotguns to form an anti-tank company, and other anti-tank battalion units and engineer battalions are responsible for dismantling the armor-piercing shells of the captured devils and converting them into armor-piercing flying mines, dismantling the captured infantry shells and converting them into grenade mines, using other large-caliber shells without artillery to convert them into anti-tank mines, and using infantry shells to convert them into hollow-charge anti-tank grenades.
After a few days, the attacking troops drove out all the surrounding devils, and the neighborhood became a temporary recuperation area, and the reputation of the Wumu army was greatly enhanced.
The devils finally occupied Yichang, but withdrew from Yichang after only a few days of rest.
Liu Qinghe was invited to lead his troops into Yichang to celebrate Yichang's "recovery", Liu Qinghe was not in the mood, but he also had to carry out the order, not to mention the special care of Shangfeng's kindness!
The troops were relieved because of the temporary truce, but Liu Qinghe was not, this time the tough battle cost was discounted, and he had to think of earning it back! Therefore, while marching towards Yichang, the troops sent a special battalion to reconnoitre, and took advantage of the retreat of the devils to get some equipment and materials, and then turned around to sell them to **.
The special battalion reported that the large army of devils in the south was retreating, and according to the phone calls of the devils, it was understood that it was the 39th division of the devils, and the newly arrived equipment was being replenished to the troops below.
As a result, the special service battalion dispatched the platoon as a unit to divide into 9 groups to carry out sneak attacks and looting against the devils, and the cavalry battalion was responsible for responding.
The special battalion is a veteran of a hundred battles, and is familiar with the number of sneak attacks and looting. They first cut the devil's telephone line, waited for the devil's telephone soldiers to check the line, and then sent two or three soldiers who could speak Japanese to follow the devil's telephone soldiers, find out the end of the devil's telephone and password, and fish in troubled waters to infiltrate the devil's squadron headquarters, brigade headquarters, wing headquarters, medical centers, and other important departments.
The spy battalion is not easy, and the follow-up devil phone soldiers have to keep dodging the vehicles and troops that come and go overnight, and only in the second half of the night do they infiltrate the target, use the stunned bombs that have not been used for a long time to solve the devils, kill and plunder materials, and withdraw one after another after each succeeds.
It is much more convenient when retreating, seeing the devil's car and cart coming, first arrange a fake wounded soldier to ambush on the road, attract the devil to stop, and then other personnel ambush, this is the traditional road of the Wumu army, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly.
In the early morning of the next day, all the special battalions returned to the team, and there were no casualties. The counting of the trophies was the patent of Liu Qinghe, a wealthy ghost: 3 flat-fire guns, 4 mortars, 2 infantry guns, 9 heavy machine guns, 17 light machine guns, 21 grenadiers, 6 southern types, 139 38 rifles, 73 boxes of grenades, 4 radio stations, 6 telephone exchanges, 87 telephones, 1 set of equipment for the repair station, 2 sets of equipment and medicines for the medical center, 7 trucks, 24 carts, 41 pack horses, and ammunition......
Okay, it's worth at least 200,000 oceans, how cool this is sneaky, why bother fighting with devils, they all kill like blood gourds! Thinking of the brothers who died in the bitter battle, Liu Qinghe was about to vomit blood again, and the guards hurriedly supported Liu Qinghe and arranged for Liu Qinghe to withdraw the troops to prevent the devils from counterattacking.
Along the way, Liu Qinghe went out day and night, looted some supplies, fought a few small battles, and strengthened his vigilance due to the continuous robbery of the devils, and the gains were not big. As a result, Liu Qinghe's plan to catch 1 million oceans before entering Yichang has become slim.
On this day, he did not meet a single devil, Liu Qinghe was sullen, but the troops rarely had a day to rest, and the marching speed was much faster.
The cavalry battalion in front came to report again, and a large group of devils drove on the opposite side. Liu Qinghe ordered the troops to get out of the way, let the devils pass, and then scrape a thin layer of skin from the side.
Unexpectedly, the vanguard of the devils found the traces of Liu Qinghe's march and launched a large-scale search, Liu Qinghe had to retreat again and again, only killing the two squads of the devils and the other 5 infantry squads, and capturing 5 more prisoners.
After the devil's brigade passed, Liu Qinghe walked on the road again, preparing to go straight to Yichang all the way. However, the cavalry battalion sent back news that the devil had found a cavalry brigade!
Liu Qinghe's mouth cracked open: "The little devil is very righteous, and he knows to leave some souvenirs for Lao Tzu before leaving!" I'm going to take it all! ”
Liu Qinghe repeated his old tricks, blocked a small river, and set up a mud pond for the devils.
Seeing that the road was flooded, the devil cavalry knew that there was an enemy, so they passed carefully in batches.
After many years of dealing, Liu Qinghe understands that the Devil Cavalry Brigade has two cavalry squadrons, a machine gun squad, and less than 400 people plus the brigade headquarters and horsemen.
As soon as a cavalry squad of the devil passed the muddy pond, they were attacked by the people from the distant hillside. Seeing that the enemy was only 7 or 8 Chinese peasants, with only 2 spears and 4 Hanyang-made, the leader of the devil squad was happy: these peasants did not know the height of the sky, and the large troops of the Chinese army were not opponents, so a few peasants dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head!
The leader of the devil cavalry squad waved his hand, and the soldiers fired a row of guns, and several peasants hid in the woods, as if there were two missing, and one seemed to be injured and ran into the woods with help.
Do you want to run when you know that the Imperial Army is powerful? There are no doors! The captain of the devil squad sent a cavalry squad to catch these people cramping and skinning!
10 devils approached the woods and were covered by 3 of the fishing nets thrown from the woods, and the other devils hurriedly came to the rescue and were killed by Hanyangzao. The peasants rushed out and led the devils and their horses into the woods.
Planted in the hands of a few Chinese peasants, and also lost a cavalry squad, the captain of the devil squad could not afford to take the offense, and immediately led the other two cavalry squads to chase over.
The devil's cavalry rushed up the hill, and when he saw that the people had run down the slope, the devil was afraid that he would hurt his own people in the fishing net and his own war horse and did not dare to shoot, so he rode his horse in pursuit. No, this hillside is full of horse pits, and there are hidden individual soldiers underground and in the trees, who quickly killed 13 and captured 7 devils with fishing nets and rifles!
The leader of the devil's cavalry squadron didn't care when he saw his squad chasing and killing a few peasants, and when he heard the sparse gunfire on the hillside, he thought that this squad would be rebuilt soon! After a long time, the team didn't come back, and the leader of the devil squadron felt that something was wrong, so he took all the cavalry to search for it.
As soon as he ran to the top of the slope, the leader of the devil squadron was knocked off his horse by the bullets at the bottom of the slope, and more than a dozen cavalrymen were also shot and fell off their horses. The fierce devil did not retreat because of the death of his chief, but charged on horseback to show the spirit of bushido to the people of China.
The soldiers jumped out of the pits, grass nests, and trees, holding wooden sticks, bamboo poles, wooden forks, fishing nets, bayonets, and devil cavalry to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
The captain of the devil's cavalry brigade received a report of a rout, and a group of Chinese troops using rudimentary weapons actually defeated a cavalry squadron of the imperial army, and the face of the imperial army was lost! These tattered and tattered Chinese troops have taken such a big advantage and will definitely flee quickly, so they should immediately pursue and regain their losses!
The Devil Captain was indeed better than the hapless squadron leader, and he commanded the cavalry to go around the hillside full of traps and follow the Chinese people.
This time, Wu Mujun not only showed his true face, but also showed his true strength. A cavalry company was on standby, with 4 heavy machine guns on each side! What's funny is that the cavalry of the Wumu Army actually fought with spears! The captain of the devil's scalp is numb: in the face of 8 heavy machine guns, more than 100 people will lose most of them in the first time, and they can only fight with the opponent's cavalry to have a way out, but the cavalry against the cavalry, the spear is much more powerful than the saber, no way, fight!
The cavalry of both sides were evenly matched and launched a fierce collision. Wu Mujun not only held a spear, but also had a small piece of fishing net hanging at the front end of the spear, which could entangle the sabers, arms, and head and neck of the devil cavalry. Therefore, the fate of the total annihilation of the devil cavalry cannot be changed! The spears urgently made by the engineer battalion for the cavalry battalion were indispensable, and only 11 cavalry members of the Wumu Army were slightly wounded, and no casualties or serious injuries were made.
The machine gun squad and brigade headquarters of the Devil's Cavalry Brigade had not yet crossed the muddy pond, and Wu Mujun launched 6 flat-fire guns and 12 Type 96 light machine guns, forcing the devils to be less than 100 people. After accurately killing a few rebellious devils, the devils surrendered unprecedentedly!
Looking at the captured 300 war horses and 79 devil captives, Liu Qinghe was in a good mood, and the sluggish mood of the previous few days was swept away, and he was full of energy again, and drove into Yichang City with great force.
