Chapter 767: The Banxi detachment is destroyed
"Camp Commander Tu, Camp Commander Cao, you see, there are reeds in front of you. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"How do we get past this dense area?" Tu Man muttered, at a glance, it was simply a large area, and there was not even a gap, where was there any waterway?
"There's actually a way here, but I can't see it now." Fan Yuanpu said.
"There's a way?"
"Yes, this road is actually a waterway, it is very secret, it is not marked on the map, few people know about it, and the previous commander of the 74th Division Li probably knew."
"He knows why not on the map?" Slaughtered the Tao of dissatisfaction.
"What do you know, this is a back road deliberately left by others, not to mention that the map given to us will not be marked, even the serious fortification map will not have any traces." Cao Xingyang whispered.
"Let's go, let's go, light."
This area was already under the control of the new 38th Division, but in order not to be discovered by the Japanese army, they were careful all the way.
The 29 guerrillas under Fan Yuanura and the commandos selected by the reconnaissance battalion of the new 38th Division totaled 60 people.
Every two people carry a light and dexterous lotus picking boat.
Coming to the river, Fan Yuanpu carefully observed the water surface, then turned back to discuss with his subordinates, and turned to Tu Man and Cao Xingyang and said, "The water level is still a little shallow, we have to wait." ”
"How long to wait?"
"Twenty minutes." Fan Yuanpu explained.
"We're here without covers, it's easy to be exposed." Cao Xingyang said worriedly.
"It's so dark and so far away, you won't be discovered."
"Well, why wait twenty minutes, can't we get close to the reeds and wait on the water?" Cao Xingyang asked rhetorically.
"If the water level is not there, it will be difficult for the waterway to be revealed, so even if it passes, it is useless, and on the water, we are more likely to be discovered."
Cao Xingyang nodded, observed the situation of the reeds, and found that what Fan Yuanpu said still made some sense.
Twenty minutes is quite a long time for those who are waiting, but Tu Man and Cao Xingyang are both well-trained soldiers, so they should rest and recover their physical strength, without the slightest irritability or restlessness.
Fan Yuanpu looked at it in his eyes, it was quite shocking, this is a well-trained elite division.
Fan Yuanpu had been observing the water level on the river all the time, although the change did not seem to be much, but the change was still there, and after about a quarter of an hour, Tu Man and Cao Xingyang were pushed and opened their eyes.
"Camp Commander Tu, Camp Commander Cao, we can go." Fan Yuanpu whispered.
"I don't think the water level has changed?" Tu Man glanced at it and muttered.
"Camp Commander, look, this is the reed pole I just broke off and inserted on the shore, do you see anything different now?" Fan Yuanpu smiled slightly.
Tu Man leaned over, looked at it carefully, and said, "This leaf seems to be on the water just now, why is there only one tip exposed on the water now?" ”
"The water level has risen, at least four inches, and we are lucky tonight, it rained the night before yesterday, and the water level of Weishan Lake has risen, and the water level of our inland river has also risen." Fan Yuanpu explained.
"I see, let's do it quickly." Tu Man nodded, although he was the captain of this operation, Luo Yufeng explained and asked him to listen to the suggestions of the two vice captains, these two vice captains were naturally Cao Xingyang and Fan Yuanpu.
One by one, the lotus-picking boats were lowered into the water, one by one, one in front of the other, rowing a graceful arc on the water surface, and drifting towards the edge of the reeds not far away.
In the reeds, a hidden waterway is revealed, if the water level does not rise to a certain height, it is really not easy to find, on weekdays, you can see a green reed, how can you find that there is a deliberately made waterway in the reeds appear.
"Captain Fan, how did this waterway come about?" Cao Xingyang asked curiously.
"I don't know, the detention center was in place before it was built." Fan Yuanpu Road.
"And what's the location in front of the guardhouse?"
"It seems to be a dyeing workshop, I can't remember the specifics."
"Everybody puts their mouths in their mouths. Ba shut me up, dare to make a little noise, and punish me severely. Before entering the waterway, Tu Man ordered sternly.
"Yes!"
Cao Xingyang and Fan Yuanpu were the first to slide into the waterway.
Fan Yuanpu is a native who grew up on the water, and he is very fast in the long-leaf boat that picks lotus, not much slower than he was on the unobstructed water just now.
And from the winding waterway, the sound is so soft that the wind can drown it out.
Both of them kept their heads down, afraid of touching the reed leaves on both sides, and the movement would be too big.
The reeds grow so densely that if you look at them from above, you can't see people or boats moving below, during the day, and at night.
The speed of the boat gradually slowed down, and Cao Xingyang raised his head slightly, and he could vaguely see a wall of seven or eight meters high dozens of meters away, which should be the wall of the Yutai Detention Center.
The boat gently leaned to the shore!
The shore is about five or six meters away from the western wall of the detention center, and by the cold starlight, when you look up, you can see Japanese soldiers guarding the wall with guns.
"Everyone, go ashore and don't make a noise!" Tu Man ordered.
The assault team, a total of sixty people, gently disembarked from the boat, bent on the soft river beach, and quickly approached the base of the wall under the wall.
According to the original plan, Tu Man and Cao Xingyang each took a group of people to bypass both sides and suddenly launched a sneak attack on the Japanese army.
The Japanese army arranged a team here in the detention center, and in addition to the detention center, the streets and houses on both sides were arranged with manpower, but because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Japanese army did not pay special attention to and strengthen here.
This time, they were all elite soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion, veterans of raids and assassinations, and ordinary Japanese soldiers were really not their opponents, and in the blink of an eye, the two groups had already entered it.
The Japanese army also reacted quickly, after all, they were also well-trained and vigilant, and someone noticed that something was wrong and immediately sounded the alarm.
Gunfire erupted.
Tu Man led people to blow open the gate with a grenade and filled it through the main entrance of the detention center.
Cao Xingyang led people to block the Japanese troops who came from the streets on both sides to reinforce them.
Ten minutes later, Tu Man signaled that they had occupied the detention center, and Cao Xingyang then led people into the detention center, relying on the strong fortifications of the detention center to hold this entry point.
All the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion, who had already been on standby on the shore opposite the reeds, quickly boarded the boat, and at this time, they did not need to estimate the movement of squeezing the reeds, and directly rushed out of a road to reinforce the commandos in the detention center.
Sakanishi Ichiro Osaku received the news that the detention center was occupied, and his eyes were dark, this Chinese still got in, how did they do it, the defense over there was tight enough.
As soon as the detention center was broken, the Japanese army's defense system in Yutai was in danger of completely collapsing, and Ichiro Sakanishi hurriedly mobilized troops, hoping to recapture the detention center.
But his efforts were unsuccessful, and after the reinforcements of the reconnaissance battalion arrived, the detention center became even more impregnable.
After the reconnaissance battalion occupied the detention center, it did not immediately advance to the streets of the city, but waited for dawn.
The Japanese army had been working hard in the city for three days, and they must have thoroughly understood the situation in this small county town, and they would suffer losses if they attacked rashly.
So, have to wait.
All the people of the new 38th Division are waiting, waiting for the moment when the dawn opens, Yutai will be reborn in the fire!
"I order, the total attack begins!"
"Fire!"
Dodo......
Dozens of white fireworks bloomed in the air, and then the Japanese army position defending Yutai came from the sound of your earth shaking the mountain, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were shattered, screaming and wailing, like a scene of hell on earth.
But this does not make people feel cruel, war is like this, you live and die, if Japan does not invade China, they may also be able to live a peaceful life at home with their families.
But they want to take up arms, come to China, forcibly occupy our land, and kill. Kill our people, and they must not be allowed to succeed.
Those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away!
Tick Tick Tick Tick ......
"Kill!"
The loud trumpet sounded, and the new 38th Division launched a fierce charge against Yutai, and the artillery fire began to extend and fire, and the Japanese positions were shaken along the entire line.
The reconnaissance battalion came out from the direction of the detention center and directly cut the Japanese troops in Yutai into two parts, and could not look at each other.
If this gap is not opened, if the new 38th Division wants to attack the city, it will take a lot of effort, at least the casualties will increase a lot, and the time for annihilating the Banxi troops will also be delayed.
The battle lasted until noon, and most of the city had been occupied by the new 38th Division, and the remaining part of the Japanese army was still resisting stubbornly, but this resistance was futile, and under the strong force, it was only a matter of time before it fell.
Sakanishi Ichiro's headquarters, as well as more than a hundred Japanese people, were surrounded by regiments.
Five minutes ago, Ichiro Sakanishi personally drafted a farewell message to Kenji Dohihara.
When he received this telegram from Ichiro Sakanishi, Kenji Tsuchihara cried profusely, knowing that Ichiro Sakanishi and his troops had suffered a catastrophe because of him.
But if he really sent troops to rescue, he could be rescued, but if he really led the main force to rescue Ichiro Bannishi, then there was no need to talk about any strategy to cut off the Longhai line in the south.
He knew that Leng Feng, who had been calculating him for a long time, must be waiting for this opportunity to let him in, and once the 14th Division fell into the quagmire of Lu Xi, it would be difficult to pull out again.
He was afraid, he hesitated, he didn't dare to bet, he had already buried the remaining 3,000 people of Ryosuke Isoya and the 10th Division, in case this was a game, he would not be able to turn back if he stepped into it with one foot.
Therefore, he hardened his heart and only sent the dissatisfied brigade that was going to support Nishigang Shaozo, and then no matter how Sakanishi Ichiro asked for help, not a single soldier was sent.
He still hoped that Ichiro Sakanishi would be able to hold on for a longer period of time, but he didn't expect that Ichiro Sakanishi would hold out in Yutai for less than four days, and the four thousand people would be gone.
The 14th Division had 4,000 people, and in just over 10 days, the entire division suffered tens of thousands of casualties.
Kenji Dohihara was heartbroken.
Such a loss is really unacceptable.
