Chapter 52: The Two Powers Meet
The target plane, in early May 1943, about 7 kilometers in front of Xingxian County, Yanhuang Shanxi Province, by the Weifen River, Twenty Lipu Village. Because Xingxian County is located in a small basin, so the houses, roads and other aspects of the facilities are relatively perfect, but out of the basin is the high and low mountain Lingzi, Twenty Lipu Village is located in a small village on the mountain Lingzi, there are 700 acres of cultivated land in the village, and nearly 100 households in the village rely on geographical planing to make a living.
Because it is the front station of Xingxian County, the strategic location is very important, so the Yanhuanghong Party stationed a company of troops here for a long time. Later, because of the large-scale military training, the new 4th Regiment under the jurisdiction of the new 2nd Division of the first column came to this vicinity for training (because of Wang Fan's help, the Red Party's telegraph has been equipped to the regimental level, and a small number of battalion-level units with special tasks have also been equipped), after receiving the telegram from the division commander He Long, all the new 4th regiment under the leadership of the regiment commander Zhang Xinhua and political commissar Long Fucai (the names are all apocryphal and Lalang, everyone should not be serious), quickly came to Twenty Lipu Village to set up defense.
There is a nameless mountain in front of Twenty Lipu Village, and the road winds and stretches to an uphill slope here, about 50 meters high, and on both sides of the road are mountains that protrude outward, which is very suitable for defense from the terrain.
Regiment Commander Zhang Xinhua stood on the edge of the high ground, looking at the direction of the road, and found no trace of the little devil (at this time, Tian Gang was still waiting for the arrival of the large army, and about 2 hours had just passed. )
"The little devil hasn't come over yet, it's slower than we thought!" When he was a child, Zhang Tuanchang, who had studied private school for two years, spoke in a relatively literate manner, did not scold the street, and spoke in a calm tone, relatively speaking, quite Confucian.
"Yes!" Political Commissar Long Fucai also held a telescope and looked at the highway in the distance. In the field of vision, you can only see small peaks tens of meters high chopped by knives and axes, or dry or thriving green plants, a small number of trees, and no billowing smoke and dust brought by the march of the large army.
"It's good for us to have more time! A battalion commander! Second battalion commander! Head Zhang Xinhua shouted as he replied.
"Here! Arrive! The first battalion commander Wang Dali and the second battalion commander Shen Jie ran out from behind the regiment commander and replied.
"This road into the village just divides the mountain men into two sides, the first battalion is responsible for the left, the second battalion is responsible for the right, quickly set up fortifications, use woven bags (Wang Fan brought a lot of woven bags from later generations, cheap and easy to use, can be used for war, flood control and disaster relief), form positions, heavy machine guns, mortars, rocket artillery and other fire support points, echelon arrangement, sequential defense, understand?"
"Yes!" After saluting and replying, the two quickly gathered their troops and marched to the position.
"Three battalions, artillery battalion!"
"Here, here!" Xu Lishan, commander of the third battalion, and Ge Dongzhuang, commander of the artillery battalion, replied.
"The three battalions are ready for reserve and counteroffensive, and are immediately ready for battle as soon as the need arises." Head Zhang Xinhua commanded.
"Yes!" The commander of the third battalion, Xu Lishan, saluted.
"Ge Dongzhuang, today your artillery battalion is here, your artillery company can't embarrass me, 12 ninety-two infantry mountain guns (because the ninety-two type can be carried by infantry, it is very suitable for mountainous and poor traffic areas, so Wang Fan has copied and produced a lot and equipped the Red Party troops), 12 107mm rocket artillery (12-barreled type), all of them have been calculated for me, don't beat me too outrageously and hurt my own people!"
"How can it, regiment commander," Hearing this, the artillery battalion commander Ge Dongzhuang said with a smile, "If there are too few little devils, I really don't dare to say it, this is a big piece of the girl, I guarantee that I will fight wherever you point and destroy the little devils!"
"Okay, remember, come up and attack with Type 92 first, don't show the rocket artillery first, wait for me to give the order, and then attack, understand?"
"Yes!" After speaking, the artillery battalion commander Ge Dongzhuang and the third battalion commander Xu Lishan ran towards their respective troops.
"Lao Zhang, what do you think if you don't let the rocket artillery be used, first give the little devil a sudden ruthlessness, you can destroy a lot of enemies." After the political commissar Long Fucai waited for the battalion commanders to leave, he asked worriedly.
"I'm not because our division commander gave the order of "defending and counterattacking, encircling but not annihilating", I'm afraid that if I come up, I will knock out the little devil and run away! Now the new fifth regiment and the new sixth regiment still need 2~3 hours to be able to rush over, if you only rely on one of our regiments, I am sure to repel the little devils, but surrounding, annihilating them, I really don't have full certainty, after all, the intelligence shows that the vanguard of the blocked little devils has the size of a cavalry brigade, I don't know if it is followed by a wing or a brigade, so I plan to leave the rocket artillery until the counterattack or when the enemy presses a full-scale attack, and then there will be a barrage advance! ”
"I see! Then let's catch the medicine according to the prescription and see the tricks with the little devil! ”
"Don't worry, Commissar Long, this time we are equipped with such good weapons, and we have been training for so long, we must let the little devils come and go, and none of them can escape!"
The time was just when the New Fifth Regiment established a position, dug trenches and quickly crossed little by little, and soon 2 hours later, bursts of sand and dust rose from the road in the distance, and the main force of the devils arrived.
"Ready for battle!" Zhang Xinhua, the commander of the new 4th regiment standing behind the bunker, ordered, and the political commissar Long Fucai followed.
The commander of the Yuichiro Brigade of Nagano, who was ambushed by Lijiazhuang, became more cautious, and sent a reconnaissance and reconnaissance force of 30 people along the way, currently exploring the road, occupying the commanding heights along the route, and immediately returning fire when a new blocking force was found, and launching a general attack after the large force came up. Therefore, compared with the results of the 85th Brigade that blocked the 69th Division last year, which lasted for a whole day, this time it only hastily delayed the time of Yuichiro Nagano's troops for about one hour.
"Lao Zhang, the enemy's vanguard reconnaissance unit is coming, can you fight it?" Political Commissar Long Fucai saw a small group of more than 30 people and asked.
"Hit! Correspondent, inform me of the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion, the firing points should be exposed in separate ways, don't kill the chickens with a knife, destroy this point of the enemy, and you don't need the whole battalion to open fire! ”
"Yes!"
Ten years later, the little devil reconnaissance unit that entered the shè cheng was suddenly attacked by about seventy or eighty rifles from the opposite side. A shè shot from a dozen light machine guns (the Red Army fighters adjusted the Type 56 to a single shot, which looked like a rifle shè shot).
Soon, five miles behind the battlefield of the contact battle, the Japanese army, the brigade commander Yuichiro Nagano, and the prince Heyonomiya Hengken were riding in the middle of the team, when they suddenly saw a war horse running in front of them.
"Report! A large number of enemy blocking positions have been spotted ahead! The immediate communications soldier saluted and said loudly.
"Oh? How many people are there? The anxious King Hengxian of Heyang Palace asked.
"Hi!! Judging by the firepower, there were at least a hundred people, and they were armed with a dozen light machine guns! ”
"Haha, it looks like we're catching up with the tail of the high-ranking Bald Officer! Nagano-kun, hurry up and attack! After hearing the report, King Hengken of Heyang Palace, who was overjoyed, turned his head and asked Yuichiro Nagano, the brigade commander on the left.
Hearing that it was only a blocking force of about 100 people, Yuichiro Nagano was also relieved and said, "Pass my order, the whole army will advance at full speed and prepare to attack!" ”
"Hey!" The adjutant beside Yuichiro Nagano quickly conveyed orders to the troops, and the army quickly rushed towards the defensive position of the Red Party in Twenty Lipu at the speed of a rapid march.
Twenty miles, the command post of the new 4th regiment,
"The head of the report, the new fifth regiment and the new sixth regiment sent reports respectively, and they will all rush to Twenty Lipu in 30 minutes." The communications corps reported to the regiment commander Zhang Xinhua.
"Okay, call back to the New Fifth Regiment and the New Sixth Regiment, and tell our army that they will immediately exchange fire with the devils, let them enter the ambush position according to the plan, and when the time is ripe, after the devils' offensive momentum is frustrated, they will launch a counterattack!"
"Yes!!"
"Lao Zhang, the devil is coming," said political commissar Long Fucai, standing behind the bunker and looking at the battlefield through the observation port.
"Pass my order, after the devil enters 400 meters, immediately open fire!" Regiment commander Zhang Xinhua said after seeing the devil's attack from the observation port.
Three kilometers away, the temporary headquarters of the Japanese Invaders, the brigade commander Yuichiro Nagano, and the prince Heyonomiya Tsuneken also held binoculars to observe the enemy position.
"How? Nagano-kun, did you find anything? King Hengxian of Heyang Palace asked as he looked at it.
"There are more than 100 enemy troops, and I saw quite a few positions and soldiers, and many of them are wearing helmets!" Yuichiro Nagano frowned as he returned.
"That's even more right, there were only a hundred or so people shooting just now, which means that the enemy's ammunition is running out, and wearing helmets must be the main force of the bald party, which means that our previous guess is correct, Nagano-kun, we must quickly take the opposite position, in order to prevent the enemy's delaying tactics and cover the escape of the high-ranking officers in the enemy army!" King Hengxian of Heyang Palace arrived.
"Let's take a look at the effect of the first batch of attacks!" The brigade commander, Yuichiro Nagano, replied calmly.
In the distance, the first wave of the little devil's attack force has entered the attack line. The artillery squadron of the wing behind (because Yuichiro Nagano deliberately strengthened the firepower before the departure of Ningwu, the entire wing has about two wings of artillery firepower), a total of 18 Type 92 infantry mountain guns (including 2 guns directly under the jurisdiction of each brigade).
"Order the artillery to fire!" Yuichiro Nagano ordered.
"Hey!!"
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "As the attack of the Japanese invaders opened fire, the first to strike the Japanese artillery reinforcement brigade was the first to show its fangs!
Headquarters of the New 4th Regiment of the Red Party,
"Yo! The little devil's equipment also sounds good, listening to the sound, the number of artillery is definitely more than 12, order Ge Dongzhuang, give me the artillery position to destroy the devil! ”
"Yes!"
"Boom! Rumble! The same cannon sound also sounded on the side of Twenty Lipu. Due to the fact that the shè hit Zhuyuan was marked in advance, the aim of the cannon of the new 4th regiment was much stronger than that of the little devil. On the spot, there were three ninety-two types that were dumbfounded. However, the quality of the little devil field troops was quickly reflected, and after the initial confusion, they quickly shifted their positions, adjusted their muzzles, and began to bombard and suppress fire in accordance with the direction of the shells in their memory.
"Huh? How can the enemy army have so many cannons? Yuichiro Nagano frowned and thought, vaguely feeling a little uneasy in his mind, but the arrow is on the line, the attacking force is already in place, this is the battlefield, and it can no longer be withdrawn. Yuichiro Nagano ordered: "Attack plane~~~!! ”
Then, two infantry squadrons of 400 men in the first wave of the Japanese began to touch the Red Army positions.
"Hit!" With the order of Zhang Xinhua, the commander of the new 4th Regiment, gunfire rang out one after another on all defense lines, and tongues of fire erupted one after another, forming barrages of barrages, giving head-on blows to the attacking troops of the devils.
On the target plane, at the beginning of May 1943, the first official contact battle between the Yanhuanghong Party army and the regular Japanese army after the whole training officially started in Twenty Miles, not far east of Xingxian County!
