Chapter 209: Encirclement and Suppression in the River (1)

At the same time, the base camp of the Japanese army concentrated more than 20,000 people from the 4th Division, the 10th Division and the 8th Division, together with 20,000 puppet troops, to carry out a "crusade" against the anti-Japanese alliance operating in the Sanjiang Plain in the lower reaches of the Songhua River (puppet Sanjiang Province).

"Commander, Commander, there's an accident," a messenger ran in breathlessly.

"What's the matter! Look at you in a hurry, come, drink saliva. As he spoke, Zhang Funing handed over a glass of water. The correspondent finished the water in two bites.

"Commander, something happened, we are surrounded."

"What, what do you say? Make it clear to me. Zhang Funing was anxious.

"Regiment commander, there are little devils all over the mountains, there are about several hundred people, and they suddenly launched an attack on the garrison of the third battalion. The three battalions were taken by surprise, and now the enemy had occupied a place on the right side of the hill and was now holding on. ”

"What about the casualties of the third battalion?" Zhang Funing immediately asked.

"Regiment commander, roughly counted, the casualties of the third battalion are about two companies." The correspondent replied in a whisper.

After Zhang Funing listened. He sat down on the ground suddenly.

"Order the guard company and the artillery company to follow me to capture that mountain, damn, Lao Tzu is not alive." Zhang Funing waved his fist viciously, you must know that the hill is the only way to the headquarters of the Fifth Regiment Zhang Funing, once the Japanese army is firmly entrenched, it will continue to mobilize troops from the rear to encircle and suppress the Fifth Regiment, you must know that now the entire regiment headquarters is except for the third battalion and the recruit battalion. The guard company, the rest are logistics personnel, and there is almost no combat effectiveness, even if you want to run, you must take back the hill and block the follow-up enemy. In order to allow the safe evacuation of the regimental headquarters.

At this time, the small hill occupied by the Japanese army was illuminated by torches like daylight, perhaps because the Japanese army was afraid that our army would take advantage of the night to sneak attack. Numerous torches were lit on the top of the hill that was held, and they became a great threat to the attacking troops.

"Third battalion commander, how is the comparison between the enemy and our forces and the current battle situation?" Looking at the third battalion commander with red eyes, Zhang Funing held back his fiery temper and asked.

"Regiment commander, now the little devils on the mountain are about only a small team of about 50 people, and we have launched two charges, but we have not rushed forward. Many comrades were also killed in battle. As he spoke, his eyes, which were already red, turned even redder. Zhang Funing patted the shoulder of the third battalion commander and did not speak.

"Third battalion commander, you take the troops down to rest first, I brought the artillery company, I will definitely avenge you, don't worry." Zhang Funing said.

"Yes, Captain."

"Company Commander Zheng, you take the artillery to aim at the little devils on the mountain. Ten minutes later, there was a tentative attack, and I didn't believe that this small group of little devils was still in the sky. Zhang Funing turned his head and said to the artillery company commander behind him.

"Yes, regimental commander, resolutely complete the task."

Right away. The movement began on the positions of the 5th Regiment and 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Military Region, and it did not take long for all the troops of the 3rd Battalion to withdraw. The artillery battery arrived at the established position for the attack and waited for the order to attack.

"Start attacking."

"Pass. Tong, Tong! "Boom. Boom, boom! With the sound of an explosion, the small hill immediately fell into a sea of fire, looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Funing finally knew what the former division commander and his old man said, to treat the little devil's troops, we must use heavy firepower to kill a large number of people, otherwise there will be a lot of casualties, if you don't rely on manpower for artillery just now, this small hill needs to pay at least one company of troops to capture.

That's it, after a few rounds of artillery fire, the rest of the thing is to simply clean up the battlefield, looking at the stump and broken arm in front of him, it brought Zhang Funing another shock, it seems that it is good to have artillery, no wonder the little devil always wins.

Zhang Funing hurriedly ordered his subordinates to garrison their positions, and at the same time sent scouts to the distance to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, Zhang Funing used a telescope to observe in the distance and found that there was no sign of the Japanese brigade's movement at all, and he was a little puzzled that the Japanese army could not only send such a small number of people to attack the regimental headquarters, could this army be a pathfinder.

"What about the regiment commander, the troops have been cleaned up, everything that should be destroyed has been destroyed, and everything that can't be taken away has been destroyed, so it's time for us to transfer." Political Commissar Hu Dianhu said.

"Lao Hu, you take the soldiers to set off first, and I will lead people here to block the enemy and buy you some time."

"The regiment commander or I will stay to block the attack, you take the soldiers and go first!"

"No, are you the regiment commander or am I the regiment commander, go quickly, and send a telegram to Comrade Jian Min to tell him that the little devil has discovered the regiment headquarters, so that they don't have to worry, let them not go back to the regiment headquarters, and transfer the troops to the mountains to avoid the Japanese army."

"Okay." Hu Dianhu turned around and hurriedly left, he knew that the wounded and logistics personnel of the regiment headquarters were a drag on the march of the troops, so the regiment commander ordered them to go first to buy them time to transfer, so Hu Dianhu could only speed up the march of the troops to avoid the Japanese front.

As expected, half an hour later, Zhang Funing had just arranged the position and the location of the mines, and many Japanese soldiers came out of the woods, looking at the Japanese army in front of him, Zhang Funing estimated in his heart that there was a large number of people, and as time went on, the number of enemies was gradually increasing, Zhang Funing used a telescope to find that the Japanese army must have made a lot of determination this time, and actually dispatched so many people, but the regimental headquarters of the fifth regiment was established in the depths of the mountains, how did the Japanese army find here, and it was still so gathered, In the past, when the Japanese army was crusading, they were all small groups and small groups, and they had never gathered like this, could it be that there were traitors in the troops?

"Your Excellency, the opposite side is the regimental headquarters of the Fifth Regiment of the Third Military Region of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and I came here a week ago."

"Yo Xi! Your land is a great drop of good people, and the imperial army likes to make friends with people like you, and this is for you. Major General Shimoto, the co-commander of the 8th Division, threw a small pocket in his hand at the middle-aged man who flattered him.

"Hey! Thank you, thank you, thank you. ”

"Guo Chengjun will depend on your performance this time." Xia Yuan turned to a man covered in stubble and said.

"Hey! Please rest assured, Your Excellency, that our regiment will be able to wipe out the bandits on the mountain and hand over their leaders to you. ”

"Yo Xi." Xia Yuan waved his hand.

Guo Cheng (former commander of the 1st Division of the 9th Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army) rode his horse directly next to his team, shouting as he ran: "Brothers, Taijun said, whoever is the first to capture the position of the Anti-Japanese Federation will be rewarded with 50 silver dollars, killed a leader of the Anti-Japanese Federation will be rewarded with 20 silver dollars, and those who kill or capture the leader of the Anti-Japanese Federation alive will be rewarded with 10 small yellow fish, if anyone dares to escape, they will all be shot, understand?" ”

When they heard what the regiment commander said, these puppet soldiers all looked at the anti-union position opposite with red eyes, and all the original worries, fears and other emotions were lost, looking at the anti-union position like a person who had been hungry for five or six days, and suddenly found that there was actually a roast chicken on the opposite side.
