The battle on the front line of the Mudanjiang River lasted from the early morning until the next night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the fog cleared at ten o'clock in the morning, the Japanese troops who crossed the Mudanjiang River launched a brave pursuit to the eastward retreat.

However, due to the fact that the entire Laoyeling area is surrounded by mountains, hills and hills, and ravines and mountains are staggered, it is not conducive to the deployment of large troops, and the rescue and retreat are scattered, so that the pursuing Japanese commander cannot make up his mind which enemy to attack, and he has to attack separately in large groups.

The Takasu Brigade of the 26th Wing of the 13th Brigade of the 7th Division of the Japanese Army vigorously pursued the scattered team wearing grass-green military uniforms in front of it and drove into a narrow valley under the Tianling Mountains. Because of the clenching of the opponent, Takasu Sadaji Daisa did not conduct routine fire reconnaissance, nor did he send scouts to investigate the surrounding environment, and the team swarmed in.

"Takasu-kun, this place is very suitable for ambushes, should we stabilize our pace a little and find out the situation before pursuing?"

Sasaki Shaosa, the staff officer of the brigade who was riding a horse with Takasu Osa, looked up at the steep mountains around him and said worriedly.

"Sasaki, your worries are purely unnecessary, now that the guerrillas are fleeing, where do you think that they will send people to set up an ambush? If we delay too much, we will let the opponent escape calmly......"

Takasu Sadaji raised his white-gloved hand and smiled easily to comfort his companion, but his laughter was quickly interrupted, and under the blow of An Jiajun's unique 12.7mm sniper rifle armor-piercing bullet, his head was like a rotten watermelon that suddenly burst open, red, white and white juice splashed everywhere, and his body was directly brought under the horse by the powerful impact force.

Almost at the same time, Sasaki Shaosa also felt that his chest became empty, he looked almost subconsciously, and found that the entire heart and lung position had been pierced in the chest and back by a powerful destructive bullet, and he lost all his senses without any reaction under fear, and the whole person was like a thin piece of paper, carried into the air from the horse's back by a huge inertia, and fell to the ground after flying for a while.

Then, the mines in the valley and the high explosives on the entrance and exit mountains rang out like a landslide and tsunami, huge rocks blocked the mountain pass, and the devil soldiers who were winding their way were knocked to the ground by the steel fragments and marbles splashed by the mines.

The mortars lying in ambush on the mountain beams on both sides began to focus on the artillery company, heavy machine gun company, and transport company of the Takasu Brigade.

As a member of the Japanese Army's A Division, this part of the devil soldiers was indeed well-trained, and they were suddenly ambushed, and when most of the officers were killed in the first round of sniping, there was no panic, and the living devils found rocks, ditches, and nests in the mountain beams, hidden, and then fought back.

The squadron leader of the Higashimura squadron, Higashimura Yaji Shaosa, was very lucky to escape the blow of the rescue *** sniper, when his war horse stepped on a loose stone and almost fell to the ground on its side, he just lowered his head to check what was going on, and dodged the deadly sniper bullet.

Hearing the sound of gunfire from far and near, Higashimura Shaoza quickly dismounted, rolled a few times, hid in a depression in the mountain wall, picked up a telescope, and calmly checked the situation on the battlefield.

Since being stationed in the northeast of Tun, even if he entered the Chahar Corps to fight, Higashimura Shaozo had never encountered such a fierce and accurate firepower attack.

Listening to the dense sound of guns and cannons near and far, Higashimura Shaozo felt a sense of awe: Is this the firepower configuration that the guerrillas can have? He looked left and right, and found that the situation of the entire brigade was very bad, because the front and rear mountain passes were blocked, the troops could not be deployed at all, and they were completely suppressed by the opponent's condescending firepower, and if the measures were taken continuously, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Higashimura Shaoza immediately called the signal corps and wanted to contact the other squadrons through the radio, but he couldn't get in touch, so he had no choice but to send a herald to contact the other squadrons in the most primitive way, and at the same time ordered the Sangtian squad and the Changgang squad under his command to attack the hill above.

After a short period of time, the devil soldiers, organized by junior officers and non-commissioned officers, launched an offensive against the hills on both sides.

Tao Qi, the commander of the 6th Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Anti-Japanese Salvation, put down his binoculars and said to Jin Zi, the chief of staff next to him: "See, Lao Jin, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is not blown, if we suffered such a heavy blow, the team would have collapsed a long time ago, how could it be possible to organize an attack of such a scale?" It seems that we will have to work more on training in the future! ”

Jin Ziyu smiled and comforted: "Brigade commander, how long has our team been established?" If it weren't for the addition of many grassroots commanders from the Red Army, coupled with the self-contained training system of our Anjia Army, we might not know what the current situation would be. In the next step, we must continue to strengthen ideological education, firmly root the nationalist ideology upheld by An Jiajun in the minds of every officer and soldier, and cultivate the technical and tactical qualities of officers and men. ”

Tao Qi nodded, and continued to pick up the telescope to observe the battle situation, check and fill in the gaps, and mobilize troops at any time to deal with the Japanese attack.

Lieutenant Kuwata led his squad, in a skirmish formation, to attack the high ground held by the 6th Brigade and 19th Regiment, and was met with heavy and accurate fire. Not only that, machine gunners, non-commissioned officers, and other important personnel were attacked by snipers or mortars of the Sixth Brigade one after another, and a squad of more than 60 people had already lost nearly half of the battle before they reached the attack position.

Lieutenant Kuwata was a little dazed, and for the first time he felt that he would not be able to fight, but fortunately, his doubts did not take long to wait, and his body was shattered by an armor-piercing bullet fired from a large-caliber sniper rifle, and his head was shattered, and he was completely unconscious.

Higashimura Shosa, who had been promoted to commander by the surviving squadron leaders, was extremely anxious to see the momentum of the attack frustrated, and the heroic Imperial soldiers were firmly pinned down on the hillside, unable to move forward, and then tried two more attacks in succession, both of which ended in failure.

Higashimura Shaozo looked at the radio station that seemed to be furnishings, and then looked at the sun setting on the hill, and sighed long, not to mention that it is impossible to contact the outside world now, even if it is contacted, it is almost dark now, how long it will take for reinforcements to arrive, and how much role air support can play is an unknown, and it seems that we have to find a way to break through.

After a brief discussion with the other remaining officers, Higashimura decided to concentrate all his forces and break through to the entrance to the valley, but this seemingly simple task fell into passivity from the beginning.

The roads in the valley were rough and narrow, and it was impossible to concentrate the troops, and if you spread out a little towards the hills on both sides, you would be greeted by either dense bullets or heavy mortar bombardment.

"Dididi-" Just when the devil soldiers were in a dilemma and at a loss, a loud charge suddenly sounded on the hills on both sides.

"Kill—"

Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening shout, the anti-Japanese rescue soldiers, and rushed to the Japanese army under the mountain with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas.

Even if it is deeply poisoned by the spirit of bushido, but every devil soldier still can't help but feel a burst of fear and despair, because the head and tail can't take care of each other, the Japanese army is divided and surrounded, and all those who resist stubbornly will be killed in an instant, and those devil soldiers who want to pull out grenades and die with our soldiers are even more beaten into a honeycomb.

Not only that, the soldiers who resisted Japan and rescued *** will make up for every devil soldier who falls to the ground, whether it is a corpse or a wounded soldier.

Higashimura Shaosa was stunned by the scene in front of him, what kind of army is this? Cold, cruel, and fierce, everywhere he goes, he reaps a piece of life.

Soon, the two guards around Higashimura Shaozo were killed, he howled hysterically, raised his command knife, and rushed towards the two rescuers who were approaching, the two soldiers calmly raised their pistols and hit their eyebrows successively, and Higashimura Shaozo finally opened his eyes and fell to the ground unwillingly to die.

As night fell, the valley calmed down, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

In this battle, 1,085 people of the Takasu Brigade of the 26th Wing of the Japanese Army were annihilated, and not a single prisoner was taken. 13 mortars, 26 grenadiers, 6 heavy machine guns, 12 light machine guns and 587 rifles were captured, and the rest of the weapons and equipment were destroyed in the battle. In addition, shells, ammunition, food, and 212 mules and horses were seized.

The Sixth Brigade lost eight soldiers, 17 were seriously wounded, and 194 were lightly wounded, which can be said to be a brilliant victory.

In just one day, the Japanese army lost at least one brigade of troops, and the Japanese army had to order all units to stop the pursuit, guard the main communication arteries, and first concentrate their forces to quickly clear the road leading to the Jining and Sanjiang Plains.

......

Suihua City, located more than 120 kilometers north of Harbin, is located in the piedmont hilly area extending from the southwest foot of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains to the Songnen Plain, and is an important industrial and commercial center city in the north of Harbin.

Since the frequent activities of the Chinese guerrillas in the area around Suihua, Major General Tadahito Okamoto, the defender of the 31st Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in the area, has not slept well for a day, and the communication lines connecting various places have been frequently destroyed, the railway has not only been stolen from the tracks, but even the roadbed has been blasted and blown up, and the roads are full of mines and traps, especially mines, which are incomparably poisonous, but they are earth mines or napalm mines made of glass bottles, and the detection instruments of the sappers cannot test them. So far, dozens of trucks and hundreds of sappers have been killed or wounded.

What is even more terrifying is that the Chinese guerrillas will not only engage in sabotage, but also their combat effectiveness is extremely amazing; when the surrounding areas of Suihua were first attacked, Okamoto Tadahito was also full of confidence to send reinforcements, but again and again they were meat buns and dogs, and there was no return; on the 13th of this month, the Seventh Engineer Wing was attacked in Baizhen, and Major General Okamoto Tadahito personally led his troops to the rescue, but was ambushed by the guerrillas, and a wing brought with him was almost completely annihilated.

Subsequently, several bridges over the Hulan River and the Nihe River were blown up by the Chinese guerrillas, and Suihua City became a completely isolated city.

The 31st Brigade is a four-company brigade with a field artillery wing in addition to three infantry wings. In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the brigade, the Kwantung Army Headquarters was assigned to the 31st Brigade of the Communist Party of China, a machine gun brigade, a mortar squadron, and the whole brigade had 9,000 people, which could be regarded as the best in the entire Kwantung Army sequence.

In addition, the puppet Manchu army mixed into the 11th and 12th brigades, a total of 10,000 troops are also stationed in Suihua, in terms of troops, it should be no problem to defend Suihua, which has a strong city defense, but I don't know why, these days Okamoto Tadahito has been frightened, as if something big is going to happen, panic all day,

In order to prevent all accidents from happening, Major General Tadahito Okamoto ordered the Japanese puppet army to strengthen the vigilance outside the city, and any civilians entering and leaving the city would be strictly checked, and the city head also deliberately strengthened its vigilance, and any civilians passing by outside the city could be caught in the city as guerrilla scouts and tortured.

The four gates of Suihua City, east, west, north and south have long been cut off and hung full, which makes the people of Suihua complain, dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Instead of dying in silence, it broke out in silence, and on the night of the 19th, the people of Suihua finally ushered in the long-awaited sound of gunfire.
