Chapter 200: Goal—Guisui (3rd Update)
[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 200: Goal - Guisui (Third Update, Ask for Subscription!) )
Although Ma Zheng didn't guess all of Lao Jiang's thoughts, he also guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight, but he didn't say anything. After handing over those naval ships to the Nationalist Government, Ma Zheng could be regarded as unloading a burden, and taking advantage of the retreat of the Japanese army, Ma Zheng sorted out the strength in his hands.
After counting, there are still more than 6,500 people left in the old troops he brought from Chanan, of which nearly 1,000 are wounded, and they are staying in Jiujiang to recuperate.
In addition to these old troops, he now has 3,000 prisoners rescued from Jiujiang and more than 15,000 people rescued from Hukou, and these prisoners alone add up to 18,000 people.
In addition, the Military Commission also assigned the 156th Regiment of the Fourth Army and the 188th Regiment of the 72nd Army to the Seventh Division as supplementary troops. When these two regiments came, the main officers did not come, only more than 3,600 soldiers came.
As a result, all the soldiers added up to more than 28,000 soldiers in Ma Zheng's hands, more than 6,000 more than Wang Zhonglian's three divisions of the 13th Army.
In terms of weapons and equipment, Ma Zheng didn't have so many weapons and equipment in his hands, but who made him lucky, when the Japanese army attacked the Third Fleet, the Japanese army had just shipped a large number of weapons and equipment from Nanjing, and now it was all cheaper than Ma Zheng. Coupled with the annihilation of the Botian detachment and the capture of Jiujiang and Hukou, Ma Zheng made a lot of money.
Not only did he return all the equipment of half of the regiment owed to Xie Gangzhe, but he also armed all the more than 18,000 prisoners in his hands, and there were still a lot of surpluses.
The only fly in the ointment is that these captives have been tossed miserably by the little devils, and they are very weak in physical strength, and they are also mentally wilted, and it is okay to fight positional warfare. If you fight with the devil with a bayonet, you won't be able to. In addition, they can't go on long distances, and if they can't walk ten miles, they will all be wasted.
However, these problems can be overcome, as long as the little devil gives him a few days, he can almost recuperate all these people. In fact, to put it bluntly, these people are hungry, as long as they have good food, they will be alive again in a few days.
Subsequently, in addition to filling the shortfall of the old troops, Ma Zheng reorganized the remaining troops into four reinforced regiments of 4,000 men and a reinforced firepower regiment of 3,000 men. Counting the artillery regiment transferred to his command by the Nationalist Government, Ma Zheng now has a full 9 regiments in his hands, which is equivalent to a reinforced army of the Nationalist Government, which can be described as a strong soldier and a strong horse.
With soldiers in hand, Ma Zheng thought about how to give the little devil a hard time again. However, now the troops still need to rest, so Ma Zheng is just thinking about it, and cannot put it into practice.
Moreover, now that the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in the Suicha base area has begun, half of Ma Zheng's energy has been attracted to that side, and he really doesn't have much energy to organize a big war here.
Suiyuan. Zhuo Zishan. Ewha Town.
Ma Desheng's cavalry group had just arrived at twelve o'clock in the morning. And the advance of the Japanese army has also arrived in its camp town, which is less than fifty kilometers away from Ewha Town.
In a dense jungle outside the town, Ma Desheng was holding a combat meeting, and Zhou Lieyang, deputy commander, Zhou Hai, commander of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, Wu Bing, commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, Zheng Zeshi, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, Wang Sanmin, commander of the 4th Cavalry Regiment, Li Jiangtao, commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, and Ao Muge, commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, were all present.
At the beginning of the meeting, Ma Desheng said in a deep voice: "Comrades, the commander's battle plan has been sent, and according to the commander's meaning, our unit will first attack the Japanese army with cavalry units to attract the Japanese cavalry units to pursue. Draw one of Naito's cavalry units to the Tiger Roaring Gorge, fifteen kilometers west of the county seat of Zhuozishan, where the terrain is narrow and narrow. It is more than 10 kilometers in front and behind, and our unit can concentrate two infantry regiments to set up an ambush here, and as long as the Japanese cavalry dares to enter here, one part of it can be destroyed. ”
"Commander, what if the enemy doesn't take the bait, or if only part of the enemy takes the bait?" Zhou Lieyang asked in a deep voice.
"The commander has already taken this into account, despite the narrow terrain of Tiger Roaring Gorge. However, it was impossible to kill all the more than 10,000 cavalry of the Japanese army at once, so the commander ordered us to rely on the favorable terrain to block the enemy's reinforcements on both sides of the road leading from Guisui to Zhuozishan Town after the ambush of the Japanese army, if we did not completely annihilate the remaining enemy. The low hills on both sides of the mountain road were used to kill and wound a large number of enemy living forces until the Japanese army lost its combat effectiveness. ”
Then Ma Desheng said again: "In addition, the commander also specially explained that the purpose of our department this time is not only the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry and those puppet cavalry divisions, our goal is here!" ”
Saying that, Ma Desheng clicked the map!
Looking at the place pointed by Ma Desheng's finger, all the officers were stunned, because it was not another place, but Guisui City, the capital of Suiyuan Province, and it was also the holy city of the Mongolian people - Qingcheng.
The commander actually wanted to fight Guisui, no wonder so many cavalry were used. Everyone was surprised and more excited, the last time Ma Zheng took them to fight Zhangjiakou, they all remember it vividly, but they didn't expect to hit the provincial capital again in the past few months, excited!
Then, Ma Desheng continued: "Now let me arrange the combat missions of each regiment, and the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments immediately rushed to the Tiger Roaring Gorge with heavy weapons and set up ambushes on both sides of the valley. I am careful not to let the Japanese find out about the anomaly, and my opinion is to use earthwork to bury the base of the heavy machine gun shallowly in the soil, the soldiers hide in the trenches, and the horses hide in the jungle. After the position at the entrance was ready, it was covered with thick wooden planks, and the soldiers and machine guns were hidden in the trenches under the wooden planks, and then came out after the enemy's cavalry troops had passed, and immediately launched an attack after the Japanese army entered the ambush circle, and after killing and wounding a large number of enemies, they retreated to Fushenzhuang, Quanliang Village and other places to build fortifications, and prepared to continue to block the Japanese army. ”
"The 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiments and I are on a mission to lure the enemy, and we will have a cavalry duel with the Japanese army in this place, and then we will retreat to the Tiger Roaring Gorge!"
"Sandao Battalion? Are you sure you want to take two regiments to face off against the Japanese army of 12,000 men? Zhou Lieyang said in surprise.
Ma Desheng smiled and said, "How is it possible, I'm not stupid!" First, it is impossible for more than 12,000 devils to act together, usually it will be divided into three parts: front, middle and rear, and there will be some distance between the three parts of the enemy, so we will only face a third, or even less of the Japanese puppet army. The terrain of the other three battalions here is not very open, and at most three or four thousand cavalry can be deployed, and it is useless to have more. ”
"That's too dangerous! I think I'll leave this task to me! Zhou Lieyang said.
Ma Desheng shook his head and said: "You still have more important tasks, after we attract the main force of the Japanese army to the Tiger Roaring Gorge, you have to rush to Guisui with the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Regiments, and take advantage of the emptiness of Guisui troops to knock down this place." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to the commander!" Zhou Lieyang said.
Ma Desheng nodded and said, "Each regiment knows its mission, right?" ”
"Got it!" Everyone said in unison.
"Very well, remember our slogan?" Ma Desheng asked loudly.
"Remember! Remember! Remember! The crowd replied in unison.
"As long as you have the guts!"
"Bullets slip away!" Everyone replied in unison.
"Just be bold!"
"Hades are not afraid!"
"Devils are dogs!"
"The more you encourage it, the more it roars!"
"Devils are wolves too!"
"The more you are afraid of it, the more crazy it becomes!"
"What is our purpose?"
"You can fight, you can win! If the sun invades me, I will become a god! China has me, and I will not die! Immortal! Immortal! ”
The voice is loud and heavy, and it is full of blood and pride, floating far and far on this Saibei grassland! (To be continued.) )
