Chapter 178: Cavalry
After three hours of discussion and study, it was finally agreed to move the headquarters to this fortress, and then ordered the four regiments that were resting to let them replenish ammunition and soldiers to return to the Wuyun and Foshan areas to continue to develop the base area to cope with the defense of the east side of the fortress, and the sixth regiment returned to the Liangzihe area to continue to carry out guerrilla warfare against the enemy after replenishing the required troops, and planned the southern defense of the fortress, while Li Yanping led the guard battalion to return to the Luobei County base area to relocate the headquarters personnel of the base area. At the same time, the independent brigade of Qi Zhizhong was ordered to retreat to Luobei County for development, and Suibin County was used as a buffer zone, and on the one hand, a telegram was sent to Li Zhaolin, who was hiding in the mountains, to inform them to move closer here and join the second detachment.
Meng Qingshan and Yang Jingyu were responsible for training the army, Wei Zhengmin led the political workers to be responsible for the ideological work of the soldiers, Wang Wennian and Wang Guangyu were responsible for the various defenses of the fortress, and selected the laborers who joined the army to form a division and three garrison regiments, the division commander was served by Yang Jingyu, and the entire fortress was full of busy figures, if it were not for the help of more than 100 commanders and fighters of the First Route Army led by Yang Jingyu, Meng Qingshan would not be busy, Meng Qingshan did not expect that the three detachments were now facing a moment of life and death crisis.
On a small plateau near the Nenjiang ferry, several hundred fighters led by Li Zhaolin, commander of the three detachments of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, were blocking the enemy. This piece of high ground is not high, it is just a small dirt bag, which is very unfavorable for defense. These days, the three detachments have been engaged in guerrilla warfare in the mountains with the pursuing troops of the Japanese army, and the number of the three detachments has dropped from more than 3,200 at the beginning to less than 900 now, and all the heavy weapons have been damaged in the battle.
Now there are only three heavy machine guns and ten light machine guns left in the entire three detachments, and dozens of them are armed with cold weapons such as red tassel guns and hunting bows. The Japanese also lost hundreds of soldiers, and last night Li Zhaolin led his troops to prepare to cross the Nenjiang River to Hung Yen Province to join the first detachment. The crossing had been built by the Japanese with a pontoon bridge, and the three detachments were going to cross it. But Li Zhaolin never expected it. The enemy's planes actually blew up the pontoon bridge in order to intercept them, and they were left on the east bank of the Nenjiang River. Finding that the Japanese pursuing troops had arrived, the soldiers, led by the cadres of the regiment and battalion, quickly occupied this small hill, and before they had time to build a position, the Japanese began to attack.
Two squadron-sized Japanese attacks had been repulsed, and many enemy corpses lay on the hillside. The casualties of the three detachments of the anti-United Nations fighters were also very large, and more than 300 of the more than 900 people were now able to fight, and the chief of staff Zhang Lansheng also died heroically. Commander Li Zhaolin was wounded by a bullet and fell unconscious, Zhao Jingfu, director of the Political Department, was knocked unconscious by a Japanese bomber, and Political Commissar Feng Zhongyun was also unconscious due to a fever caused by a long long journey over mountains and mountains. Chai Shirong, the deputy commander who is now commanding the operation, knows that he can't retreat if he wants to at this time, because there is no way to retreat, and there is a surging Nenjiang River behind him, if it is winter, fortunately, the soldiers can step on the ice to cross it, but the current temperature is below zero, let alone swim over, even if he stays next to him for a while, he is frozen blue by the cold wind blowing from the rivers and mountains. Not to mention the three detachments of anti-United Nations fighters wearing single clothes.
The Japanese mortars began to fire again, and the shells rained down, and then the Japanese heavy machine guns also fired at the same time, and the bullets were like wind. The fighters who fought hid behind the hill and did not dare to show their heads. Chai Shirong shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Pass down, the enemy is not allowed to shoot less than 50 meters, save bullets." Aim to hit. "The order was passed down one by one warrior.
The enemy came up, and the black pressed a piece. Looks like it's another big team.
At this time, the commander of the Japanese army, Matsuyama Aoki Daisa, was very angry. The Japanese troops on other battlefields were victorious in all battles, and when they arrived here, they were circled by this group of pigs and mountains, and four or five hundred soldiers of their own company were killed. finally drove the Anti-Union out of the mountains and pursued all the way to the ferry in front of him, but was repelled by a group of Chi Na pigs twice in a row. Is it tolerable or unbearable! If you can't even beat the group of pigs in front of you, where is the prestige of the Kwantung Army? Therefore, Matsuyama Aoki, who was angry by the Anti-Japanese Union, ordered the junior officers to take the lead in the charge, and under the leadership of the officers, the Japanese soldiers shouted "onboard" and screamed and pounced on the hill.
It's close, it's close, and it's about to rush up the mountain, and the captain of the Japanese squad shouted proudly: "The anti-alliance can't work, the warriors of the empire, we want to wash away the shame of them playing us for so many days with their blood today, and the captain of the wing who took the lead in capturing the position will be greatly rewarded, and Ya will send it to you." ”
At this time, there was a "hit" on the position of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and a salvo was sprinkled on the Japanese charging team, and the enemy squad leader stumbled, his face was full of incredulity, and he fell to the ground. A soldier shouted in panic: "Oh no, the captain is dead!" When the Japanese soldiers heard this, they continued to rush towards the position with red eyes, and while rushing upwards, they counterattacked the anti-Japanese coalition on the position. Geng Dianjun, the commander of the Eighth Regiment on the Anti-Union position, saw this situation and shouted, "Throw grenades!" He grabbed a grenade and threw it over, and then the grenade that followed knocked down the sharp spirit of the Japanese soldiers, and then rushed down with the soldiers of the eighth regiment to start a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army.
When he saw that the Japanese troops who rushed forward were all repelled by the Anti-Japanese Federation, Matsuyama Aoki, who was watching the battle from the Japanese position, sighed and cursed for rubbish.
An officer hurriedly approached and said, "Wing Commander don't be angry. The anti-union on the opposite side is almost unable to hold on, you see they have no bullets. After letting the troops rush once, they can take the position. ”
Matsuyama Aoki waved his hand and said, "You go and arrange for all the soldiers to be assembled, I will decide the victory and defeat in one battle, and destroy them all, it has been more than a month since we set off." The division commander sent telegrams many times to inquire about our situation, urging me to hurry up and eliminate this group of anti-union monkeys, now that a month has passed, if we delay any longer, don't let the base camp use this as an excuse to send us all to the military court. ”
"Hey!"
Chai Shirong on the hill called Geng Dianjun, the head of the eighth regiment of the three detachments, Feng Zhigang, the deputy head of the regiment, Guo Tiejian, the commander of the ninth regiment, Wang Xiaoming, the deputy commander of the regiment, Wang Ruqi, the commander of the tenth regiment, and others and said: "Comrades, I think this time we are doomed, but the fire of our three detachments can never be extinguished. After the little devil leaves, you can cross the river and join the three detachments, their radio station was blown up by the Japanese bombers after contacting Meng Qingshan, and I don't know that the second detachment is not far from them at this time.
"Commander Chai, I'll stay, you take the commander and they go first." Geng Dianjun said.
"No, the little devil knows that we have a big official here, how can the little devil be willing if I don't go out, okay, don't say it, you hurry down and select the team members and wait for us to charge over, you are leading people to break out from the west." Chai Shirong interrupted him and said.
After the encouragement of the wing commander, the soldiers of the entire Japanese army immediately moved up, and the soldiers straightened up one after another, launched a charge under the leadership of the officer, shouting slogans to attack the positions of the opposing wing.
The gunfire on the anti-coalition positions is getting weaker and weaker. It is obvious that there are not many bullets left in the anti-union, and it has reached the end of the crossbow. At this time, fools know that the Anti-United Nations can't stand it, as long as they work harder, they will soon be able to rush to the anti-United Nations position to surrender their guns and capture the prisoners. The Japanese soldiers were red-eyed and screamed and rushed forward.
was about to rush to the position, only to see a bearded Northeast man with a machete pointed at the little devil who rushed over and shouted: "Comrades, rush me, kill the devil" After shouting, he took the lead and rushed towards the Japanese army, and the anti-United Nations fighters who could fight jumped out of their bags and followed the commander to rush towards the Japanese army, and there were fighting sounds and screams everywhere.
Several anti-United Nations fighters in the back watched their comrades-in-arms launch a suicidal charge against the Japanese army in order to cover them, their eyes were red, they covered their mouths to hold back the sound of crying, gritted their teeth and carried the leaders to the west.
Chai Shirong hacked four or five Japanese soldiers to death with a broadsword one after another, but he also suffered some injuries, and used the knife and pestle on the ground as a crutch and panted, and all the exhausted anti-United Nations fighters gathered next to him sang the camping song of the anti-United Nations:
Tieling rock, dense with trees.
Torrential rain and strong winds, the roar of war horses on the waterside of the wasteland.
The fire is united, and the sky is full of red.
Comrades! Ruizhi even if Songjiang is born late.
Get up! Charge boldly.
Day by day, recovering the northeast,
The sky is dawning, and the light is surging.
"Nani!" The captain of the Japanese army heard the song of the Anti-Japanese Federation outside, and he didn't know what it meant, but he only felt that these Anti-Japanese Federation in front of him actually had a heroic spirit, Matsuyama Aoki waved his hand at the Japanese army, and ordered them to capture these people in front of him alive.
The anti-union fighters could only sing songs and face death, they were too tired to move at this time and could only watch the Japanese army approach, but they were not afraid to hold hands and sing military songs.
At this critical moment, the Japanese army and the anti-union fighters felt that the earth trembled violently at this time, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded behind them, and they saw thousands of cavalry coming towards their location from a distance, and the Japanese soldiers shouted happily, "It's cavalry!" Our cavalry. ”
The Japanese soldiers thought that this cavalry team was the cavalry of the Japanese army and cheered happily, but before they could be happy for too long, they found that the banner of the cavalry was not their Japanese sun flag, but a flag with five stars. "But it's too late.
The leader was seven feet three, with big shoulders and a round waist, holding a saber, his face was flushed, like an angry rooster, and he shouted, "Kill all these little devils for me!" ”
This iron cavalry is like a storm to kill, the iron cavalry is like a tiger and a leopard, where it passes, the head is split, the limbs are torn, the blood mist is filled, the Japanese army in this plain is all swept under the iron hooves, wailing all over the field, the horses are stepping into the mud, the knife flashes, I saw the heads of the Japanese soldiers falling to the ground and bleeding all over the place, and the three detachments singing on the side were also scared silly, Chai Shirong said in surprise: "I am obedient where the cavalry came out of at this time."
