Chapter 17: The First Battle (2)
Just as the two were chasing and fleeing, a dense gunfire suddenly sounded on the north side of the mountain, and the two quickly stopped fighting and picked up the pistol in their waists at the same time, and the soldier who was watching the joke next to him also quickly got up and put the gun in his hand, looked in the direction of the gunfire and waited for the order.
Li Youde, who had been sent out by Meng Qingshan to reconnoiter in advance and rushed back soon after the gunshots rang out, panted and reported: "Division commander, about five miles away from here in the north of the mountain, there is a group of Japanese puppet troops who are pursuing more than a hundred people. In addition to more than 200 puppet Manchurian forest policemen, more than 100 puppet Manchu soldiers and a team of plainclothes, there were also more than 20 Japanese soldiers among the pursuing Japanese puppet army. ”
"Although the dozens of people who were being chased in front of them had guns in their hands, they didn't seem to have many bullets, and they could only shoot one or two shots at the most critical time. What do you think, Commander? Shall we avoid the northwest direction, or shall we fight this battle and rescue those people? ”
Hearing Li Youde's report, Meng Qingshan's brows couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that they are from the Tenth Army, and they are also active here in this vicinity." "It's just a little bit of thought, the puppet army can fight for more than 400 days, and there are only about 300 people in the puppet army, and there are only 20 real little devils, can they fight? Lao Tzu is not trustworthy in more than a month of advanced military training, but he can't beat the untrained puppet army.
Making this judgment, Meng Qingshan did not hesitate at all, and immediately gave the order to prepare for battle, and at the same time let the baggage company and the propaganda team serve as reserves. For Meng Qingshan, no matter what he thinks, but when he encounters the devil chasing the Anti-Union, he can't help but save it from that aspect. Although Meng Qingshan knew that after this battle, either the little devil died or he Meng Qingshan died in battle.
But as a soldier, you can't always find a reason for yourself to escape, Meng Qingshan feels that God let him come to this era, not to let him eat, drink and have fun, but to let him fight the little devils, anyway, he has killed more than 50 Japanese, no loss, and Meng Qingshan also believes that the soldiers under his command will fight no matter from that aspect.
After making up his mind, Meng Qingshan immediately quickly drew up an ambush plan according to the terrain, and several company commanders who caught up after hearing the gunfire said: "The beard plan has changed. Now about three or four hundred days of the puppet army is pursuing dozens of anti-Japanese alliances, and they are coming in our direction. ”
"Judging by the gunshots, they are now less than five miles away from us. Now, it's unlikely that we'll just want to evacuate. A force of a few hundred men, we can't hide all of our whereabouts at once. Whether we like it or not, we must fight this battle. ”
"Lao Wang, I won't say more. You and I each took a company to immediately seize the hills on the east and west sides, form an encirclement, and prepare to ambush the Japanese puppet army. Tell my brothers, with the sound of my gun as a signal, I will not send a signal, no one is allowed to shoot, and I will prepare the grenades first, and I will give the order to wipe out all the grenades within 2 minutes. ”
"Qian Zhuang, you take your company around the hill to the east and detour back behind the ass of the Japanese puppet army. Waiting for my gun, and at the same time flanking the Japanese puppet army so that they can't guess our specific number, the bullet tube is enough for 20 rounds per person, and there is no charge horn that I ordered someone to blow, even if all the bullets are gone, you can't rush blindly for me, understand? After that, Meng Qingshan looked at Wang Wennian, Zhang Facai, and a few people in front of him and said: "My plan is to defeat and cripple the Japanese puppet army in an instant, remember not to give up ammunition, fight me hard, the old does not go, the new does not come." Judging from the topography here, the ambush site was a canyon, and they must have let their guard down in pursuit of the Resistance. ”
"Since this Japanese puppet army dares to risk chasing into this forest of forests, it is estimated that they think that the Anti-Japanese Federation no longer has the strength to fight them head-on. So they should be arrogant and not have too much defense against the wings. And we can take advantage of their situation and hit him in an ambush on a dog day. If we're lucky, we'll be able to wipe out all of these Japanese puppet troops here in one fell swoop, and whether we can win depends on whether you can throw all the grenades in 2 minutes. ”
Seeing that there was no objection from a few people, Meng Qingshan stood up and said, "Okay, you don't have any different opinions, just start acting immediately." "The estimate is good, although the number of Japanese puppet troops chasing those dozen people is large, but the guard is not strict. Maybe it's because of the rush to make a contribution, or maybe it's because the opponent thinks that the opponent has no strength to counterattack. In addition to facing those dozens of people, most of them were burying their heads in the march, under the supervision of the officers, desperately pursuing. Within half an hour of Meng Qingshan and Wang Wennian having just occupied the hills on the east and west sides of this mountain path, the large forces of the Japanese puppet army had already rushed under Meng Qingshan's nose
"What about Lao Wang? The little devil is chasing too closely, or I'll lead someone to block it, and you lead the main force to go first. ”
"Lao Zhang, I'll stay and stop you from taking people away!"
"Don't say it, or I'll stay to block you from leaving, it's my idea to come out to fight the county seat this time, but I didn't expect to be ambushed by the little devils, so we suffered serious losses, and I should be responsible."
"Lao Wang, don't blame yourself, I don't blame you, this is what we discussed and studied together, I thought that the little devil concentrated his forces to deal with the First Route Army, and the city must be empty, but I didn't expect the little devil to leave a hand, leaving so many puppet troops."
"Don't say it, you leave quickly, if you don't leave, we will all be here, you have to leave some seeds for the Anti-Japanese Federation, you can't all be wiped out here at once, if you don't leave, I will commit suicide." Wang Weiyu, director of the Political Department of the Tenth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, pointed a gun to his head and said.
Wang Yachen and Zhang Zhongxi looked at Wang Weiyu together with red eyes and said, "Lao Wang"
"Let's go!" Just as the three of them were arguing to stay behind, the little devil's pursuers had gradually caught up. Looking at the rapid running at the foot of the mountain, while occasionally squatting down, relying on the terrain to block the pursuers with a few bullets at hand, under the pursuit of the pursuers, there were less than 100 people in the anti-union team, Zhang Facai, who was squatting beside Meng Qingshan, asked: "Is it okay for the division commander to fight, you see that the friendly troops can't run." ”
Meng Qingshan, who was holding a telescope and was observing the Japanese puppet army chasing in the distance, heard Zhang Facai's question, shook his head and said, "I'm waiting for a while, the Japanese puppet army hasn't completely entered the encirclement. Now firing can only startle the snake. After that, Meng Qingshan looked at Zhang Facai who was about to move on the side, and said in a somewhat stern tone: "When I was in the secret camp, how did I teach you?" Lost your breath so quickly? You're still a veteran.
You are now a person who leads troops, and you may lead more troops in the future, so how can I rest assured that the troops will be in your hands?" Hearing Meng Qingshan's reprimand, Zhang Facai smiled bitterly but did not speak, so he had to concentrate on the Japanese puppet army that entered the ambush circle one after another at the foot of the mountain. Because it was a mountain march, except for a dozen horses carrying heavy machine guns, mortars, and ammunition, most of the Japanese puppet soldiers marched on foot. Riding on a horse, he kept observing the movement in front of him with a telescope, and was the only one who kept urging the soldiers around him.
Even if you think with your toes, this man in the uniform of the puppet Manchurian police should be the commander who pointed to the soldiers of the Japanese puppet army. Seeing that this little devil broke away from the baggage troops in order to pursue the Anti-United Nations, Meng Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the people in front of him were eliminated, the remaining puppet army transporting weapons would be easy to say. The ancients had a saying that "shoot a man first and shoot a horse first, and capture a thief first and capture the king first", but it is a pity that Meng Qingshan has never learned marksmanship, and he has never touched it in his previous life.
But fortunately, Meng Qingshan can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't, Meng Qingshan asked Li Youde to aim his gun at the officer on horseback, and the people next to him opened the grenade cover to leak out the lead and put it in front while holding a waiting order tightly in his hand.
Meng Qingshan said a word to shoot, and with a crisp gunshot, the bullet whose actual lethality was close to the speed of sound drilled straight into the knight who was riding on a horse to show off his might.
After receiving this shot, this man who was proud, happily about to make a great contribution to catch the main force of the Anti-Japanese Federation, this is the first time in history that an officer above the division level has been caught by the Anti-Japanese Federation, and when the time comes, the emperor will have to give him a medal and be promoted at the same time, and the old brother who is still desperately urging his subordinates to speed up without even snorting, he fell headlong under the horse.
