Chapter 360: The Battle of Suiyuan (5)
-- Ulanqab
"A regiment of our army's 204th Division is deployed near Wanling Mountain in the right flank mountain area to protect the right flank of our army, the 206th Division is arranged to set up three lines of defense in the front, and a regiment of the independent 6th Division is arranged in Liu Yuanshan, a mountainous area on the left flank, and the rest of the troops are our reserves. Yuan Shengping stood on Wanling Mountain and introduced Tong Linge.
Tong Linge nodded, and asked with some concern, "We have one division in the front, isn't it a little thin, especially since it is divided into three lines of defense." ”
Yuan Shengping said with a smile: "It's going to be fine, our arrangement is that the troops are light in front and heavy in the rear, and the firepower is heavy in front and light in the rear, like the first line of defense of the 206th Division has only one reinforced battalion, but there are more than 30 light and heavy machine guns alone, and there are many mortars on the mountains on both sides, so you can rest assured." ”
Tong Linge smiled: "Then I'll sit back and watch the show." ”
"The Japanese army is coming!" The communication soldier shouted, everyone looked to the northeast, and sure enough, they saw a red pill flag appear on the horizon, and the Japanese army lined up very openly, three people in a team, with more than ten meters between each team, and a small team was enough to launch an offensive surface of two or three hundred meters. The Japanese mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars were pushed up, and the Japanese armored vehicles also appeared. ”
Yuan Shengping laughed and said, "Commander, isn't it better, when this battle is over, our army's equipment will be at least half more heavy firepower." ”
Tong Linge was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that the biggest difference between the original national army and the Red Party like this, whether it was the central army or the local army, the vast majority of the Japanese army was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and when he saw that the Japanese army was well-equipped, he was often afraid of himself without a fight, while the Red Party always regarded the enemy as a mustard, Tong Linge seemed to have found a kind of arrogance and self-confidence in the Red Party that had been lost by the Chinese people for nearly a hundred years.
Tong Linge laughed and said, "That's right, it's the middle stream of the town, and it will suppress the two hundred states in the southeast." When the madness comes, you must break your guts, why not fight Pixiu on the ground! Wakako! Come on! ”
As if hearing Tong Linge's order, the Japanese army suddenly moved, a mountain cannon was pulled, and the shells fell in the position like raindrops, looking at the bombarded position, Tong Linge nodded and said, "The fortifications built by the soldiers are very qualified, and the Japanese artillery fire did not cause much loss." ”
Yuan Shengping said with a smile: "We have used a lot of quick-acting ash to build fortifications, and the devil's mountain artillery can only break us by one corner, and the infantry artillery can only have a mark." ”
The Japanese army came from afar, and there was not much ammunition, but seeing that it was almost over, a large group of Japanese troops rushed up, and from time to time there were grenadiers carried by infantry to shoot and cover, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters. The positions of the 83rd Army were still empty.
Tong Linge asked a little nervously, "What's the matter?" ”
At this time, Tong Linge saw that a blue sky and white sun flag was suddenly erected in the position, and five or six hundred people suddenly appeared in the originally empty position, and a straight machine gun showed its fangs, but this was not the most frightening for the Japanese army, only saw countless grenades thrown out of the trenches, the Japanese army only felt that the whole sky was like full of grenades, and the shrapnel of the grenades was filled in the open space about forty meters away from the trenches, machine guns and rifles fired, and the mortars and infantry guns on the mountains on both sides also opened fire together, Toneoka Kanji was surprised to see that one of his squadrons lasted less than three minutes and was half killed, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads, the machine guns stopped, but the rifle sound became more and more intense, and many soldiers of the 83rd Army practiced marksmanship.
Toneoka Kanji couldn't stand it anymore and said, "The Shina troops have a lot of troops, but there are few artillery, only light artillery, and I ordered two wings to attack the mountains on both sides separately to attract firepower, and the tank unit and the aviation and artillery opened the way together to open the gap." ”
Tong Linge stood on the mountain, clapped his hands excitedly and said, "It's a good fight, it's a good fight!" ”
Yuan Shengping snorted and said, "It's just that the bullet fee is too powerful, and some can't make it, if the central government doesn't pay for it this time, we will definitely be reluctant to play like this." ”
Tong Linge said with a smile: "I finally understand why your party has been dormant in Shanxi for a year, with Shanxi industry as a logistics base, and with enough ammunition, we will be much easier to fight." ”
Yuan Shengping shook his head and said, "But our ammunition still can't support us for a long time, when we were studying at Kang University, we learned that the U.S. military highly advocates a theory called firepower to win, that is, to use absolute ammunition firepower to drown the enemy, regardless of the cost of investing a huge amount of ammunition for intensive bombing and artillery bombardment, to carry out strong suppression and devastating strikes against the enemy, at that time it was Lin Sanhu of the 115th Division who gave a lecture, and he said that such a tactic is extremely difficult to crack. ”
Tong Linge couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this the favorite tactic of the great powers, is it impossible to fight?" ”
Yuan Shengping laughed and said, "How is it possible, to put it bluntly, it depends on people to fight, there is no battle in this world that cannot be won, far away, the devil's plane is coming." ”
Tong Linge nodded and said, "Order the air defense battalion to prepare for battle, and immediately contact our air force to request support." ”
After more than a dozen Japanese fighters and other Japanese tank units were assembled, they deliberately slowed down and moved forward with the Japanese tanks, Li Qiwen, who commanded the artillery, frowned, he was originally a college student in Beiping, and this time he was extremely excited to return to the command of Tong Linge.
"Anti-aircraft machine guns are ready for air defense, anti-aircraft guns are aimed at Japanese tanks, there are devil planes in the sky, everyone be careful!" Li Qiwen shouted loudly. Beside him were six battle defense guns, which were the main weapons of the anti-tank of the first front.
The Japanese tanks relied on the cover of the air force, rushed forward unscrupulously, firing shells at the various firepower points that had just been exposed, Li Qiwen smiled slightly, and the soldiers around him constantly adjusted the gun positions, in order to conceal these battle defense guns, Li Qiwen thought of a lot of ways, in the battle just now, these guns were even more motionless in order to give the Japanese tank a ruthless win.
"Fire!! Shoot at one gun with all your might! Li Qiwen shouted loudly, the gunner next to him suddenly pulled the gun rope, and the artillery next to him didn't care whether he hit or not, he immediately reloaded, fine-tuned and fired again, six anti-aircraft guns fired 37 shells in just one minute, and the Japanese tanks that were hit with all their strength had been killed and couldn't die anymore, looking at the six tanks that were riddled with holes, the rest of the Japanese tanks were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated.
Seeing this, the Japanese fighters hurriedly pressed the nose of the plane and prepared to bomb, but they only felt that their eyes were sparkling, and their plane spun up, and at a glance, the entire wing was blown up, and a monoplane with the blue sky and white sun logo was above his head, and the pilot Wang Hai continued to fly forward as if he despised it.
Tong Linge said with peace of mind: "The Japanese army's donkey skills are exhausted. ”
At this time, dozens of black spots suddenly flew from the sky, Wang Hai suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as a cover, they only had eight fighters, and they had to fight against at least thirty or forty Japanese planes, even if they had an organic advantage, Wang Hai was also deeply pressured.
"Comrades! Below us are our comrades-in-arms! Behind us is our Motherland, for the sake of the people, kill!! The captain's order came from the headset, Wang Hai took a deep breath and flew towards the Japanese plane.
Just when Ulanqab was in full swing, in Houhehot, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Ulanqab, He Long and Fu Zuoyi met together.
"Why don't the enemies in Baotou come out all at once, isn't this in line with the character of their Japanese army!" He Long said as he smoked his pipe.
Fu Zuoyi said with a smile, "Now the Japanese puppet army is only 20,000 people in Baotou, Houhehot, and Bayannur, where do you dare to divide your troops." ”
He Long shook his head and said, "This enemy is still easy to destroy in the wilderness, but it costs cannonballs in the city." ”
At this time, a general dressed as a Mongol came over, saluted He Long and said, "Ulanfu has seen the chief. ”
He Long looked at him, patted him with a smile and said, "Comrade Ulanfu, okay, your Mongolian Banner Independent Brigade is famous in this Mongolian steppe." ”
Fu Zuoyi praised and said, "General Ulanfu is amazing, the mountains and rivers around here are well understood, and he also rebelled against a Mongolian cavalry division, when we just arrived, the devil still wanted to fight with us in the field, but we were defeated." Now the devils don't dare to come out, and a very important reason is that they are afraid that as soon as they come out, the Mongols in the city will rebel. ”
Ulanfu was only 33 years old, joined the Chinese Red Party as early as 19 years old, went to the Soviet Union to study, participated in the Battle of Bailingmiao, and insisted on guerrilla resistance against Japan in the Mongolian steppe after 77.
He Long asked, "Comrade Ulanfu, what do you think about attacking Houhehot?" ”
Ulanfu said, "Houhehot is the largest and strongest city in the entire Mongolian steppe, here from the Ming Dynasty began to formally build the city, the old city was destroyed in the early Qing Dynasty in the fire, the Kangxi period in the old city outside the new city of the current new city, the new city for the army, the old city for the people, the two cities are connected, the Japanese and the Japanese army were placed in the new city after the Japanese occupation, the old city is the puppet Mongolian army. Now, in order to defend our army, the Japanese army has arranged for troops to defend the old city, but the main force in the old city is still the puppet Mongolian army, many of them are all interested in our army, and even some company platoon commanders are our people, we can arrange for them to blow up the city gate, and we will take the opportunity to kill again, as long as the arrangement is good, I believe it can be successful. ”
He Long asked in disbelief, "Is it really possible?" If it goes well, Houhehot will not have to suffer from the war, which is a great achievement. ”
Ulanfu nodded and said, "A huge part of the Mongolian people are oriented to the Republic of China, and Houhhot has been the center of Mongolia since ancient times, but now it has been changed to Bayannur, this is a choice made by the Japanese army in order to balance the forces of Eastern and Western Mongolia, but it has hurt the hearts of the people of Houhhot, so you can rest assured." ”
He Long nodded and said, "Then do it!" ”
- Late at night
He Long, Fu Zuoyi, Wu Lanfu and others looked nervously at the gate of the old city in the agreement, and suddenly, a flash of fire appeared on the city gate, followed by a huge explosion, He Long shouted excitedly, "Comrades! Kill into the city! Liberate our Mongolian compatriots!! ”
Ulanfu had already mounted his horse, he took a sip of wine, sprayed it on his saber and shouted in Mongolian: "Our wife and daughter sisters are waiting at home for the news of our victory, the enemy is in front of us, kill the Japanese and the traitors who oppress us, and let the sun of victory shine on us!" Kill!! ”
At this time, there was a great chaos in the city of Houhhot, and the night was full of gunfire and shouts, especially the troops who entered the city kept shouting "defeated!" in Japanese. The city is broken! Run! It made the Japanese army panic.
"Don't mess around!! That's just the old city opened by a mole! Warriors of the Empire, fight back with me!! The Japanese commander Sakai Hoji brandished his katana and shouted loudly, hoping to turn the tide.
"Shelling! Shelling!! It's a whistling heavy artillery! Hide!! A terrible sound as if it was about to cut through the sky tore the sky, Sakai Hoji just wanted to turn back, a huge force pushed him to the ground from behind, and then there was an explosion like thunder, countless shells and rockets fell into the Japanese military camp in the new city, 12 122 heavy artillery firepower and hundreds of rockets smashed into the new city together, the Japanese army that had just assembled was scattered again, and the Japanese army was gone.
-- Taihang Mountain
At the General Military Medical Hospital in Taihang Mountain, Lin Jinliang and several arsenal experts were carefully observing the bombs that were being sent.
Lin Jinliang is a native of Fujian, joined the Red Army at the age of 19, studied medicine hard, and at this time has the reputation of the first knife in North China, a military expert said, "Anyway, let's open this bomb first, you say that there may be a virus in it, then we will be fully prepared and find a closed place to open it." ”
Lin Jinliang nodded and said, "Go to the freezer, it's for freezing and sealing." As he spoke, Lin Jinliang said to the soldier next to him, "If we don't come out for a long time, you don't have to go in, just burn the freezer with gasoline." ”
When the soldier heard such an order, he couldn't help but be stunned, and before he could react, Lin Jinliang led everyone to the freezer.
"Let's get started!" Lin Jinliang said. Several arsenal experts slowly opened the bomb, and as soon as they opened it, a black shadow flew out, Lin Jinliang grabbed it, slowly opened his palm, and found that it was actually a small flea.
This was just the beginning, followed by countless fleas jumping out, looking at the dense sea of insects, everyone felt a wave of nausea in their hearts. Lin Jinliang shouted loudly, "Quick, turn on the air conditioner to the maximum, you must not let these fleas escape!" ”
Several experts from the arsenal were frightened, and hurriedly turned on the air conditioning in the freezer to the maximum, and after those fleas jumped out, because it was too cold, they soon stopped jumping around, but just crawled everywhere, looking extremely disgusting.
Lin Jinliang swallowed his saliva and said, "Fortunately, we wore protective clothing sent by Yan'an, otherwise it would be terrible to be bitten by these fleas." ”
The Arsenal staff next to him asked, "What are these fleas?" ”
Lin Jinliang slowly grabbed a flea and said, "It's very simple, the plague that has been raging in Taihang Mountain recently is the Japanese infected by these fleas, so ruthless!" (To be continued.) )
