Chapter 489: Papier-mâché Lady Pass?
Outside, there is a square team standing neatly, there are cavalry and infantry, the queue is solemn and silent, seeing the division commander come out, the commander who leads the team gives an order, in the dark, the soldiers salute the division commander in unison, the movements are neat, clean and neat, revealing such a strong spirit, it is obviously a strictly trained troops.
Tang Qiuli was a little puzzled, and the commander stepped forward:
"Report to the division commander, the special guard regiment of the division headquarters is here to report, please review the division commander!" Wait, Tang Qiuli remembered that in the establishment, there was no special guard regiment for this, so what did you fight?
Liu Chun, Tong Batu and Ma Chaoyang came over from behind, Tang Qiuli only then understood what was going on, after Feng Jiwu left, several people felt that the burden on their shoulders was very heavy, the division commander could be with us, the responsibility was heavy, the security force around him was weak, there were only more than 800 people in the division headquarters guard brigade, this is not good, in case of encountering a large army of little devils, wouldn't it be a loss, we may not all be around the division commander, there must be a combat mission.
After discussion, simply, everyone from their own guard troops, the most capable cadres and soldiers, formed a reinforced battalion, together, to form a division commander special guard regiment, when we carry out the task, we can also rest assured, this temporary guard regiment, there are two cadres and four hundred people, including cavalry and infantry, plus the original guard brigade, a team of more than 3,000 people and more than 200 troops, when encountering a wing of little devils, they can also be killed.
After Tang Qiuli understood what was going on, he was deeply grateful to these subordinates for their concern for him, but he was not ready to accept it, the troops left behind were already few, and each brigade was under great pressure, putting thousands of people by his side, which was a waste of precious troops, but it couldn't make sense of Liu Chun and them.
The troops can be reorganized, on the condition that the division commander must be with one of our brigades, otherwise, this special guard regiment cannot be withdrawn, Tang Qiuli couldn't cry or laugh, he became a burden to them, and later, they were all prepared to give in, leaving a reinforced battalion of more than 800 people, half cavalry and half infantry, as the guard force of the division headquarters.
Immediately, the 2nd Independent Brigade stayed at the 1st Pass to standby, and the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Brigades went out to Shijiazhuang to the periphery of Baoding, using the mobility and rapidity of the cavalry to surprise a small number of Japanese troops left behind everywhere, and hit the Japanese army's transportation lines, so that their rear was not at peace.
After the cavalry troops set off, the division commander and the guard troops left the garrison and marched into the depths of the Taihang Mountains, the reason why Tang Qiuli left a small number of troops in the Taihang Mountains was of course because of the pressure on the troops in various fierce battle directions, but more importantly, he wanted to use the vast mountainous areas with complex terrain to fight a good mountain guerrilla war with the Japanese troops chasing after him.
He has the bottom in his heart, it's a big deal to retreat into the Yellow Cliff Cave, with a few years of hard work, the Yellow Cliff Cave can be described as an impregnable fortress, even if the Japanese army is all besieged, it can't be gnawed, the original design is for the Japanese army to besiege the situation.
In the early morning of November 12, Feng Jiwu, who marched in a hurry all night, could already see under the glimmer of dawn, the towering wall of Niangzi Pass, set off by the mountains, Niangzi Pass was held in the canyon between the two mountains, the rolling mountains of the mountains, to here, as if the giant had cut an axe, suddenly broken, and then became the prestige of the Niangzi Pass, Jinji and Hebei provinces.
The mountains and rivers in the early winter in the north, the withered yellow weeds swaying with the cold wind, the pines and cypresses are becoming more and more clear and green like ink, the four fields are quiet, only the rapid footsteps of the soldiers marching in a hurry, Niangziguan is like a sleeping baby, and has not yet woken up from sleep, Feng Jiwu breathed a long sigh of relief, and put his heart tightly in his stomach, and finally arrived here in front of the Japanese army.
This night's rapid march was also unforgettable for Feng Jiwu in his many years of military career, and later, he wrote in his diary:
"Since receiving the order, Yu Xin has been very uneasy, worried about the safety of the division commander, and deeply regrets that he did not leave one more brigade of soldiers by the division commander's side, however, there are wars everywhere in North China, and the use of troops is even to the limit."
"Those who are more worried, is the difficulty of the march road, this to Niangzi Pass, are all mountain roads, infantry, cavalry is still difficult, with the artillery troops towed by cars, it is difficult to march, only to find another way, and the time is quite tight, afraid that the Japanese army will be the first to move, our department arrived, the city is broken, ask the guide, there is no shortcut, anxious."
Later, Feng Jiwu could only order the artillery troops, turn to Yangquan, and then rush to Niangzi Pass, so that the artillery would have to travel nearly a day longer, 92-type infantry guns and mortars, dismantled and transported by mules and horses, even so, the difficulties of the road along the way were beyond his imagination.
Along the way, due to the danger of the road in the dark, the wounded and dead soldiers who fell into the valley, there were many people, counted in the morning, non-combat attrition, amounting to more than 1,000 people, and nearly 100 mules and horses fell into the valley, crawling all the way, which can more appropriately describe the mountain road taken by Feng Jiwu's troops.
After going down the mountain, I finally saw the flat land, tens of thousands of horses marching, it was not a small movement, Feng Jiwu thought that the Jin army garrison in the pass had already noticed it, at least they had to send a liaison officer to contact.
Before closing the door, there was no movement at all, but there were two sentry boxes, standing there majestically, and there was a wooden railing in the middle of the road, the soldiers went to the sentry box to see, they were happy, there was about a squad of Jin soldiers, who were lying on the big bunk, covering their heads, sleeping sweetly, daring to love, this gang of soldiers sleeping, even the sentry post.
Seeing this situation, Feng Jiwu frowned, ordered the soldiers to go in, and collected all their guns, a dozen rusty rifles, it seemed that they hadn't been wiped for a year, and they were carried to the yard, even so, these Jin soldiers were stunned and didn't wake up, snoring loudly, and there were sweet dreamers.
Entering the pass, I still didn't see a single soldier, but the people who got up early, seeing so many soldiers suddenly appear on the street, they were so frightened that they quickly hid to the side, Feng Jiwu asked to understand the direction of the headquarters, and ordered the troops to immediately enter various key points to set up defenses, and then, with the guard battalion, walked towards the headquarters.
The Jin Army Niangziguan Garrison Headquarters is very magnificent, with a big sign in black on a white background at the door, which reads "National Revolutionary Army Niangziguan Garrison Headquarters", and there are two soldiers with loaded guns at the door, leaning against the door frame, with a rifle in their arms, a hat covering their faces, and they are napping there.
Good guys, hundreds of people have arrived, and there is no reaction at all, and the guard battalion commander went over and patted him on the shoulder, "Hey! Wake up, brother! The soldier opened his eyes in a daze, and suddenly saw so many people, he was startled, hurriedly put the rifle in his hand, and asked, "What part of it?" Stop, don't you see that this is the headquarters of the headquarters? At this shout, the soldier next to him also woke up.
The soldier knew the goods, and saw that the leader in front was a lieutenant general, one level older than the division commander, and the military uniform was different from his own, it was a unit of the Central Army, so he hurriedly ran in to report.
After a while, two major generals came out of it, somewhat disheveled, walking a little vain, far away, smelling a pungent smell of wine, Feng Jiwu was angry, the enemy is current, Shijiazhuang is fighting flesh and blood, the troops are unguarded, the soldiers are slack, the commander is drinking and having fun, such a troop, can still hold the Niangzi Pass?
"I am Feng Jiwu, deputy commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater and deputy commander of the North China Independent Division, and you are the supreme commander of the garrison here?" Feng Jiwu suppressed his anger and unceremoniously reported his home, and there was no need to talk nonsense with such goods.
The two major generals were taken aback, the lieutenant general's tone was not good, the door was quite high, strange, how did you come in, there was no movement at all at the sentry? I don't want to think about it, the division commanders are like this, how good can the soldiers be! This is called the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked.
"Liu Bingzhang, commander of the 91st Division of the lowly Jin Army, and Wang Weihuai, commander of the 97th Division, I don't know if the commander is coming from afar, do you have any urgent military affairs?" These two Jin army division commanders didn't understand.
With this question, Feng Jiwu couldn't suppress his anger anymore, and from the moment he entered the Niangzi Pass, his anger was not smooth, "Urgent military affairs?
You can ask, Shijiazhuang fought for six days and six nights, and Niangziguan didn't hear a single cannon sound? Don't smell a hint of gunpowder? ”
"Hear me, what's wrong?" I don't know why Feng Jiwu suddenly got angry, these two division commanders were quite aggrieved and asked rhetorically. "What's the matter, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are preparing to attack here, I already hear their footsteps, let me ask you, how are the troops deployed? How well are the fortifications built? This question came to the root of life, since they entered the Niangzi Pass, there was no tight spell on their heads, and they closed the door and proclaimed themselves kings, but they were making a lot of noise.
Every day, I drank a little wine, ate game, and from time to time let my subordinates get a few pink and bright mountain girls, taste the taste of being a groom every night, live a small life, race the gods, how can I still care about others, Yan Xishan didn't remember other words, just remember a sentence "There is an independent division in front, don't send troops to break the door, it's a great achievement."
Last night, my subordinates brought a girl in the mountains who was smart, this one hurts, her waist is slender, her breasts are bulging, her buttocks are big, and she is still an untrained chick, both guys are not willing to enjoy each other alone, so they simply have a double cultivation, toss all night, and see that there is only half a breath left in the girl, so she still can't get enough sleep.
The sound of artillery in Shijiazhuang over there shook the sky, here they were eating, drinking, and having fun, spoiling women, the two of them were originally brothers, old partners who ate, drank and had fun, and changed the way to enjoy, the troops had already released ducks, and even the regiment was stationed in that direction, which was arranged by the chief of staff.
There are people who relieve the siege for them, a series of artillery sounds violently rose in front, the Japanese army arrived, Feng Jiwu looked at his watch, the troops entered Niangzi Pass less than an hour and a half, it was so dangerous, the cold sweat on his forehead came down, just with these two foodies and those soldiers under him, the Japanese did not need to open the cannon, one person and one stone, they could smash Niangzi Pass open, and they also carried more than 20,000 prisoners.
