Chapter 162: The Battle of Shangjiang (5)

"Guangyu, you go down and tell the regiment commander to calm down, you must wait for all the Japanese troops to enter the snake road, and then launch an attack, you must not attack when the enemy is halfway in," watching the regiments that had already arranged the traps return to the designated position one after another, Meng Qingshan's tense heart finally let go, and now he is waiting for the little devil to come to death, this is the first time Meng Qingshan has faced a large force of Japanese troops, he can no longer drill the woods everywhere like before, he has no room to retreat, Although he was nervous, he couldn't show it, just lying in the trench with his glasses and watching from afar.

"Commander, the enemy is coming." The political commissar next to him reminded that Meng Qingshan was lying on a hill two miles away from the mountain road at this time. Meng Qingshan raised the binoculars, and sure enough, the Japanese army was very cautious, and the scouts were placed one mile away from the encirclement. The vanguard of the Japanese army, with about three squadrons, marched forward in two columns in order, and walked for half an hour before disappearing from Meng Qingshan's field of vision.

Meng Qingshan saw that the vanguard of the Japanese army had gone away, sat down and asked Li Yanping beside him: "Political commissar, you said that after we solve the enemy in the territory this time, what should we do!" ”

"After destroying them, we should prepare for the winter, the Japanese army generally rarely encircles and suppresses in winter, which gives us enough days to cultivate, take the opportunity to build a base area, what do you think?" The political commissar saw that Meng Qingshan's battle had not yet been fought, so he replied with a smile when he was thinking about what would happen after the victory.

Meng Qingshan smiled after hearing this, what the political commissar said was right It is time to take a good rest, the team never worried about ammunition and guns when they were young, but the team is getting bigger and bigger, but weapons have become a big problem. Now the source of obtaining weapons is that they are captured and bought from the Soviet Union. I don't know when my arsenal will be able to produce my own guns, but fortunately, it can be considered a good start. After this battle, shouldn't the entire Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation be convened to hold a meeting to unify it?

Li Yanping didn't know what Meng Qingshan was thinking, seeing that he was thinking so intently, he didn't speak anymore, and walked towards the ambush troops, leaving Meng Qingshan alone to think quietly.

"Commander, the enemy's main force is coming." Li Daniu pulled Meng Qingshan, who was in a trance.

Looking at the follow-up troops of the Japanese army in the telescope, a smile appeared on the corner of Meng Qingshan's mouth. Because the Japanese troops in front of them not only did not send search troops, but also did not even send top soldiers, it seems that they must have been worried about the trapped Ikeda brigade. This creates a good start for the ambush troops, can Meng Qingshan not laugh.

The political commissar of the inspection unit quietly came to Meng Qingshan's side at this time, saw the scene in front of him, and extended his thumb to Meng Qingshan. Meng Qingshan nodded after seeing it.

After a while, Meng Qingshan's smile stopped suddenly, because the main force of the Japanese army suddenly stopped outside the ambush circle, which made Meng Qingshan very worried about whether the Japanese wing commander had discovered something?

A captain at the foot of the mountain said to Sakata Shikoro: "There is only this way for Your Excellency Osa to quickly support the Ikeda Brigade in front of you, this road is very winding and suitable for ambushes, and the best thing for the Chinese Anti-Japanese Federation is to fight ambushes, do you want to send some reconnaissance soldiers to investigate?" ”

"Sasaki-kun, you're making too much of a fuss. The main forces of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Federation were pinned down by the imperial army, and at this time they were a naked woman, waiting for us, and if we were a little later, he might be shy to escape. Then we will suffer a big loss, and it is impossible to block them and let them run away again, this time I must personally catch the bandit leader named Meng Qingshan. I'll see if he has three heads and six arms, and if he is a martial artist. ”

"Your Excellency Dazuo, do you say that the Anti-United Nations Headquarters in Qianjiazhuang will be the bait of the Zhina?"

"Sasaki, you're too cautious. Where did the Chinese Anti-Japanese Federation get so many people, I think his current strength is less than about 200 people, and your cautious character is very good. But it's easy to miss a fighter. ”

"Hey! His Excellency Osa is right. ”

"Report! His Excellency Osa sent an urgent telegram from the Ikeda Brigade. A Japanese correspondent handed a telegram to Sakata Shikoro.

After reading the telegram, Sakata said: "It seems that the Anti-Japanese Federation is also in a hurry, in order to save the headquarters, the fight is so fierce, Sasaki ordered the troops to advance quickly, and they must arrive at Qianjiazhuang before dark." ”

"Hey!"

Seeing that the Japanese army that had stopped for a while began to advance again, Meng Qingshan and Li Yanping breathed a sigh of relief, the waiting time passed really slowly, and the Japanese army in the second echelon had an infantry artillery squadron, a rapid-fire artillery squadron, a wing artillery squadron and a brigade of Japanese troops left Meng Qingshan's sight. When he saw that the Japanese army was actually carrying heavy weapons, it seemed that the Japanese army was still very cunning, so that the intelligence officers mistakenly thought that they were not carrying heavy weapons, and Meng Qingshan immediately ordered the ambush troops to defeat the Japanese artillery team first to reduce the losses of the troops.

As time passed, the Japanese army finally appeared in view. Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were getting closer and closer, Meng Qingshan quietly loaded the rifle in his hand and aimed at a Japanese officer.

"Commander, the follow-up units of the Japanese army have all entered the ambush circle." Li Daniu said quietly.

Just as the Japanese army was speeding up its march under the supervision of the commander, they rushed past the foot of the mountain where explosives were buried and covered with weathered stones, and a violent explosion, together with the flying stones set off by the explosion, smashed the back half of the Japanese marching column into a mess.

The weathered stones, which had been rained down by the violent explosion, could not be used for any construction, but there was basically no problem with smashing people. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers in the second half of the entire marching column were smashed on their heads and bleeding by the overwhelming debris that fell from the sky. Even many unlucky eggs were directly hit in the head by the larger stones that flew in, and went up to the western sky. The steel helmet can only be used to protect against a single piece, and has no resistance to these large stones, even the size of a grinding disc.

"Bump" Meng Qingshan fired the first shot of the ambush battle, with the sound of gunfire, the long-prepared artillery position, the first debut of the Type 39 mortar began, only to see a black shadow flying towards the Japanese troops, all the heavy machine guns, light machine guns spewed out the tongue of fire to harvest human lives.

The explosives package flew into the ranks of the Japanese troops, causing all the Japanese troops within 10 to fly around, and the Japanese troops next to them were also blown to the ground and could not afford to lose their combat effectiveness, which suddenly set off a rain of blood, and a blank area appeared in the dense marching column, and the sound of light and heavy machine guns made the soldiers on both sides of the team fall in rows. The captain of the Japanese army, Sasaki Wolf, was torn apart by the first round of artillery fire before he could see his enemy troops.

You must know that Sasaki Wolf planned the Panjiayu tragedy in 1941, slaughtered 1,298 innocent Chinese, set fire to 1,235 houses, including 658 children and women, and killed 23 families.

The heavy machine guns continued to spray tongues of fire, and the Type 39 mortars continued to fire deadly shells into the Japanese troops in the ambush circle, and several of the explosive packages also caused the Japanese troops to pull the shells, and as a result, even the mountain artillery also blew up and killed several Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese troops who had just been attacked and did not die hurriedly looked around for cover, and as a result, from time to time the mines were planted by the Anti-United Nations, and the roar of the mines killed and injured many Japanese soldiers.

The artillery fired a ruthless bombardment of nearly 300 explosives bags to the Japanese troops in less than ten minutes, so that the entire ambush circle was full of smoke blown out by the shells, and when the smoke dispersed, the Japanese wing in the entire valley road was all dead except for a few Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be injured by the explosion. The sound of the horn spread throughout the ambush position, and the fighters of the Anti-United Nations, under the leadership of their respective squad and platoon commanders, shouted slogans and rushed down the mountain with their rifles.

Under the powerful firepower, this battle had no suspense at all for Meng Qingshan's troops, and soon, the results of the battle were counted: "A wing of the Japanese army totaled more than 3,000 people, and after capturing more than 200 people, Meng Qingshan let the recruits practice bayonets, according to Meng Qingshan's words, there was not much food to give this group of animals to eat, and the weapons and ammunition seized were very few, and they were being counted, and the Japanese army and the mountain guns, two infantry guns, and four rapid-fire guns, their own casualties were more than 150 people, including 80 killed, Most of them rushed down and were shot dead by the Japanese army. ”

Listening to such a result, Meng Qingshan didn't say much, in fact, he was very happy in his heart, but he couldn't express it, he just ordered the troops to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield, such a loud voice has been heard for hundreds of miles, and after a while, the Japanese reconnaissance plane came over and saw so many people, and the Anti-Japanese Union would definitely be exposed, in order not to affect the next plan, Meng Qingshan asked the troops to hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and at the same time asked the messenger to send a telegram to Li Youde's regiment to tell them that they could close the net.

Li Yanping walked over to Meng Qingshan with a dark face with the battlefield statistics table in his hand and said, "Old Meng, although we have won a big battle this time, our consumption is too great!" If we hadn't had a little bit of a family background, we would have been ruined a few more times. ”

When Meng Qingshan took over the statistical table, he found that there were few intact Type 38 rifles captured this time, less than 300 intact rifles, and the rest were all blown up, but fortunately, although many things were blown up into parts by the explosives package, it just added many parts to the arsenal, in order to save time, before the Japanese army learned the news, to solve the big trouble of Sasaki to one, Meng Qingshan asked the militia troops to clean up the battlefield, so that the troops could seize the time to rest, In less than half an hour, Li Youde's new regiment sent a telegram that the Ikeda Brigade had been annihilated by the two sides of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and that the captain of the brigade, Ikeda, had been disemboweled, and that the enemy who had entered Luobei this time had been completely annihilated, so that the common people in the base areas had seen the strength of the Anti-Japanese Federation for the first time, and they had become more identical with the Anti-Japanese Federation, and had actively cooperated with the activities of the Anti-Japanese Federation, thus reducing a lot of burdens on the Anti-Japanese Federation.
