Chapter 243: Nansong Blocking (1)
"Commander-in-chief, the special combat team has called back, and the combat mission has been completed perfectly, and the results have been counted." Staff Officer Cui Shiquan hurriedly ran over and said.
"Well, so soon, let's read it to everyone, so that everyone will be happy." Meng Qingshan said excitedly.
"Yes, Commander, from the beginning of this battle to the arrival of the special combat team at Qiqihar Airport to the end of the battle, a total of an hour has passed, and the special combat team has completely annihilated the pilots of a squadron of devils, an infantry squadron of devils, and a mountain artillery squad. Among them, one commander of the Japanese air force, two squadron commanders, and the rest were estimated to be in the hundreds, and the Japanese troops were completely annihilated, about 80 planes were blown up, all the facilities of the airport were destroyed, and more than 300 laborers joined the revolutionary ranks. Cui Shiquan read it out excitedly.
"What about the casualties of the soldiers?" Meng Qingshan then asked, you must know that just the resources and money to train the special combat team of this brigade can cultivate the strength of a regiment, and sacrificing one of them makes Meng Qingshan feel distressed.
"No casualties were lost in the special combat team, five people were seriously injured and six people were slightly injured, and they have now been safely evacuated and joined the receiving troops."
"Bang bang." Before Cui Shiquan finished speaking, Meng Qingshan took the lead in applauding, and the guards next to him applauded excitedly when they saw this.
"Okay, very good, Chief of Staff Cui, immediately report this battle to Deputy Commander Yang and several division commanders on the front line, so that Deputy Commander Yang and the division commanders of all departments are also happy, and order all departments to attack me, hit the little devils hard, and let them know that we are powerful." Meng Qingshan ordered excitedly.
"Yes, Commander". After listening to Meng Qingshan's words, Cui Shiquan also replied excitedly, you must know that in less than a few days of fighting with the Japanese army, thousands of wounded were sent to the rear from the front line, and 90 percent of them were injured by Japanese planes. Eight percent were injured by Japanese artillery bombardment, and the rest were injured by stray bullets, which made Meng Qingshan and others have always had a headache with the little devil's plane, and the troops could not keep consuming with the Japanese army, otherwise the little devil would not collapse, and the Anti-Japanese Union would be dragged down.
After several days of fighting, the headquarters sent a large number of weapons, ammunition and food to the front line. The consumption of bullets is as much as hundreds of thousands, and one-third of the stored ammunition has been consumed, which makes Ji Qing, the minister of logistics, report the number of bullets to Meng Qingshan every day, when he was still a small force before, Meng Qingshan has not been worried about the lack of bullets, once there is a shortage of bullets, he will immediately think of borrowing from the devil, but when the army expands, it is far from enough for the troops to consume by capturing alone, this is still Meng Qingshan deliberately asked the arsenal to increase the horsepower to produce weapons and ammunition a few months in advance, Otherwise, the soldiers on the front line would have to fight with the Japanese army with bayonets with weapons without bullets.
It was when the headquarters celebrated the victory of the special operations team in blowing up the Japanese airfield. The garrison camp of Xiangyang Village, which is ten miles away from the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, has also entered a life-and-death situation.
It turned out that after Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, commander of the Fourth Division, received the secret telegram from Xinjing, in order to be able to truly eliminate the headquarters of the anti-Manchu forces, all the artillery units in the Fourth Division were selected by Furuno Yoshitake. As a result, no one expected that Furuno Haowu did not ask for field artillery, nor did he ask for anything else. In addition to a huge number of gas bombs, he only needed a squadron of one hundred and fifty mm heavy mortars.
The troops of this operation were divided into two routes, one was attacked by the Chinese in Luobei, and the other was shuttled through the Xiaoxing'an Mountains under the leadership of the wing commander Furuno Yoshitake Daisa, and arrived in the dark cloud area. When he learned of the defeat of the troops on the Luobei Road, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru pinned all his hopes on Furuno Yoshitake's wing. Whether the Fourth Division can win back the lost face depends on him.
Wing Commander Koshitake Furuno did not blindly lead the team directly to assemble near the Hormozhin Fortress, but when he arrived in the territory of Wuyun, he sent scouts to look for the village and ask the specific location of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and when he learned that there was a village of the Shina people a few miles away, and the people in the village were running to the rear. Wing Commander Furuno Yoshitake Daisa immediately sent cavalry troops to attack directly, ordering the cavalry troops to keep a distance from the people of China at all times, so that they could help the imperial army find the headquarters of the people of China, and at the same time urged the cavalry squadron leader not to kill all the people. And he took the main force with his own troops, and the troops were divided into two ways and outflanked from both flanks. Finally, in Nansongmu Mountain, less than ten miles away from the headquarters, the people who fled led by the first regiment and three battalions of the garrison division were completely surrounded by the Japanese army and fell into a desperate situation.
"Instructor: How many people are left in the army now?" Looking at the dense torches outside South Songmu Mountain, Yang Zhen, the commander of the garrison battalion, did not have a trace of panic, but asked calmly.
"Battalion commander, the situation is very bad, after several consecutive contact battles with the Japanese cavalry, we have now reduced our strength by more than three percent, in order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, those seriously injured soldiers have been escorted to the back by the fellow countrymen." Instructor Li Aiguo did not continue.
"Well, I know the situation, and the fighters who were left behind are all good. They are all good-looking, and they have not lost the face of the Anti-Union. How many fighters do we still have combat effectiveness now, including the county brigade? Yang Zhen asked.
"Yes, battalion commander, there are still one hundred and thirty people in the county brigade now, and there are two hundred and eighty people left in our company." Li Aiguo replied decisively.
"Well, let me tell you about the situation. I saw that these little devils suddenly rushed out of here, and I think they must be going to the headquarters and the commander-in-chief, and we must stop them here, otherwise the heads of the headquarters and the wounded comrades in the rear hospitals will be in danger. Yang Zhen said.
"Battalion commander, I agree with you, there are about 3,000 Japanese troops on the opposite side. If we want to escape, we can't escape at all, so we might as well rely on the terrain here to block the enemy, so that the people can safely evacuate and buy time, and at the same time, let the heads of the headquarters know the situation here and make responses. Li Aiguo replied with his head down.
"Instructor, I love to hear what you say, and I'm right to fight with the little devil. One is enough, and we can earn one of the two. Zhang Dabiao, the commander of a company on one side, immediately echoed.
"Captain Wang, what do you think?" Yang Zhen ignored the two people, and looked at the gray-haired elderly man who had lost an arm on the side, he did not despise the person in front of him because he was a cripple, but was very respectful, because the captain of this county brigade was a veteran and a veteran who followed the commander-in-chief all the way from the elm tree, because he retired after losing an arm in another battle, the commander-in-chief originally wanted him to enjoy his old age in peace, but he had to contribute to the revolution, For this reason, Meng Qingshan left him in the rear and became a county brigade captain (equivalent to the post of director of the public security bureau in later generations).
"I agree with you, we just die, and we can't let these little devils go any further." Captain Wang thought for a while and said.
Yang Zhen nodded, looked around and said: "Comrades, the little devil wants to attack our comrades-in-arms and our headquarters from this road, in order to buy time for the headquarters, I decided to stay here to block the Japanese army, so that the headquarters can respond, now I can clearly tell you that staying here is lifeless, I welcome those who want to stay, and those who don't want to stay can follow the villagers back to the base area." Yang Zhen shouted loudly.
"We're not afraid, we're going to stay." Not only the surrounding cadres, but also the soldiers who heard Yang Zhen's words answered in unison, and the earth-shattering roar reached the ears of every soldier.
"Good, very good." Hearing the soldiers roaring, Yang Zhen stood up, walked to the middle of everyone, and said loudly.
"Now I order, everyone immediately check the weapons and ammunition to immediately build a position, block the enemy, and at the same time collect what can be used to kill the little devils, and we also want to let those who claim to be the main force see that our garrison camp is not wilting cucumbers."
"Yes." (To be continued......)
