Chapter 514: Receiving the convoy
Saburo on the shore waved his hand to the adjutant with a dead face, stood up as if he had lost his soul, turned around and walked out of the war room.
The adjutant shouted a few times behind him, and he also ignored it.
…………
"Commander, regimental commander, haha, this battle is really happy! These dog traitors and little devils raised by bitches are really innocent! Liu Yidao, the deputy head of the regiment, was overjoyed when he saw Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong.
At this moment, Liu Yidao was carrying a war knife, **** upper body, his body and face were full of blood splashed when he slashed and killed the enemy, and his smile was particularly hideous.
Qiao Youhua said with a smile: "You kid, this appearance is really a living Hades, I estimate that the cowardly little devil can be scared to death by you without cutting it." ”
"Haha!" Jiang Haidong and the others immediately burst into laughter.
Liu Yidao was not polite, and said: "This is true, just now a devil squad leader, when I saw Lao Tzu, I roared angrily, frightening him to the point of foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground and dying!" ”
Everyone laughed loudly at Liu Yidao's bragging, and they didn't poke him out.
Liu Jianhua and the others also returned at this time, and Qiao Youhua said to everyone: "Do your best to arrange people to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils." ”
At this time, the signal soldier came over and reported to Qiao Youhua: "Chief, Mr. Wan Hu has called, they have entered the Hengshui section of the canal along the way, but the Japanese puppet army in Hengshui has set up a guard on the canal, and they need our support to respond. ”
Qiao Youhua immediately instructed: "A regiment will stay to clean up the battlefield, and the cavalry battalion will set off immediately." ”
After speaking, Qiao Youhua said to Jiang Haidong again: "After cleaning up the battlefield, immediately send troops to reinforce the three regiments to repel the Japanese army in Shimen, and then ensure the smooth flow of the Shimen section of the Hutuo River, and create conditions for the transport team to enter the base area along the way." ”
"Yes, don't worry, I'll arrange it right away." Jiang Haidong happily responded.
…………
Immediately, Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong acted separately, Qiao Youhua led the cavalry battalion to the Hengshui area, and responded to Billy Lavis and Wanhu, Jiang Haidong left a battalion to clean up the battlefield, and was responsible for the vigilance of Xinle County.
He personally led a regiment of the main force and rushed to the direction of the Yongling River in Zhengding to reinforce it.
With the reinforcement of a regiment, the troops of the three regiments left behind in the defense line of the Yongling River immediately counterattacked and easily defeated the Japanese 83rd Infantry Wing, and the 83rd Infantry Wing Cang Empress withdrew across the Yongling River and retreated in the direction of the Taiping River.
Jiang Haidong and others led their troops to pursue the situation, and the Japanese army had already built a pontoon bridge in the Taiping River, and the 83rd Infantry Wing retreated proudly, but also lost a lot of troops.
After defeating the 83rd Infantry Wing, Jiang Haidong left three regiments to maintain vigilance on the front line of the Taiping River to prevent the Japanese army from coming back, and he led a regiment of the main force to Yangliu Town to reinforce.
With his support, the main force of the three regiments, the pressure of the column guard battalion was greatly reduced, and the defense was immediately turned to attack, and the three troops should be combined inside and outside, and the front and rear were flanked, and the Japanese 82nd Infantry Wing and the 21st Mountain Artillery Wing fled in defeat.
In particular, the 21st Mountain Artillery Wing, in order to be able to escape, basically discarded all the artillery, shells and other baggage, and it has existed in name only.
These heavy weapons, like the artillery battalion in Yuzhishan, became the trophies of the Dragon's Tooth Column.
However, Jiang Haidong and Wu Ming did not continue to attack, and then attacked Shimen County in one go, not because they didn't want to, but after this battle, although they won the victory, the losses of their battalions and companies were also very large, especially the battle loss rate of recruits was too amazing.
Therefore, it was impossible to take advantage of the situation to regain Shimen and completely defeat the 21st Division.
However, the gains of the first regiment and the battalions of the third regiment of the Dragon's Tooth Column in this battle were also great, and the rich booty was secondary, mainly because of the growth and transformation of the surviving recruits.
After such a brutal baptism of actual combat, they have already undergone a qualitative transformation, and if they are given some time to digest all kinds of digestion in this battle, they can quickly get out of the category of recruits and become a real qualified soldier, and it is not far from elite soldiers.
…………
Shimen, Headquarters of the 21st Division.
Chief of Staff Yuyuki Chiba came to the division commander's office with a heavy face, and reported to Chihei Sakai, who was already angry because of the defeat of the 83rd Infantry Wing: "General, the 82nd Infantry Wing and the 21st Artillery Wing have also been defeated.
More than half of the 82 Infantry Wing was killed or wounded, and the Artillery Wing lost all its artillery baggage! Our 21st Division has been seriously injured, but fortunately, the Chinese seem to have suffered many casualties, and there is no sign of taking advantage of the situation to attack Shimen. ”
Sakai Chihei said angrily: "Didn't the news of the defeat of the 83rd Infantry Wing tell the 82nd Infantry Wing to withdraw quickly?" Why was it still defeated? ”
Yuyuki Chiba explained: "It is true that the 82nd Infantry Wing was informed of your instructions, but at that time, the defenders of Shina may have learned of the arrival of their reinforcements, and suddenly turned from defense to attack, and they held back our 82nd Infantry Wing, and the Imperial Army could not get out of the battle.
In the end, the reinforcements arrived, and the imperial army suffered from the enemy, so it suffered this defeat! ”
"Also, the 62nd Infantry Wing called, and the Zhina Army in the direction of Erdaogouzi stopped the offensive and took the initiative to retreat." The way of Chiba Yu.
Sakai Chihei sighed a little frustratedly and said: "This defeat, it's all because I insisted on going my own way, didn't listen to Chiba-kun's persuasion, and also led the Xinle reinforcements to suffer such heavy losses, I can't escape the blame, and then I will take the initiative to ask for resignation from the front army headquarters and base camp, and if you accept the punishment, the 21st Division will be handed over to you, Chiba-kun." ”
Chiba Yuyuki hurriedly persuaded: "Your Excellency General, please cheer up, the people of China have a saying that makes sense, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, there is no need to worry too much, as long as we adjust our forces next and stick to the stone gate, it will not be so bad." ”
………………
On the canal west of Hengshui, more than a dozen Japanese patrol boats, large and small, are patrolling back and forth on the water, they belong to the Japanese garrison in Hengshui, because of the reminder of the 21st Division, the devils of Hengshui sent troops to guard and block the canal. ,
Qiao Youhua rushed here with the cavalry battalion, contacted Wan Hu and them through the Guò radio, and learned that they were hiding in the reeds of the river not far away.
After Qiao Youhua arranged for them, he personally led part of the cavalry to dismount and brought several 60mm mortars captured by the cavalry battalion soldiers to the shore.
Most of the vegetation on both sides of the canal were tall aquatic weeds and reeds, which provided good cover for Qiao Youhua and their concealed encounters.
After coming to a position about two hundred meters away from the devil patrol boat, Qiao Youhua stopped and ordered the soldiers to set up mortars, these soldiers were all original veterans, from infantry to cavalry, so they were no strangers to mortars.
Qiao Youhua himself set up a mortar, and after adjusting the shooting of Zhu Yuan, he turned his head and asked a few soldiers, "Are you ready?" ”
