Chapter 983: Bloody Battle in Duyun City (Part I)

When Chu Tian led two special operations detachments to the Longtou between Dushan and Duyun in southern Qiannan, he happened to meet the special service battalion of the 19th Group Army of the Central Army, and was carrying out the task of blowing up the Longtou River Bridge.

More than a dozen Japanese armored vehicles, with bright headlights, drove to the side of the Longtou River Bridge, two of which stopped on the south side of the bridge, and from the armored vehicles, several Japanese soldiers jumped out, holding crooked light machine guns, aiming at the woods on both sides of the bridge is a wild sweep, the bullets hit the leaves and broken branches, one after another, and smashed on the ambushed soldiers and special combat members of the Central Army.

Shi Jinsheng, the commander of the special service battalion of the 19th Group Army of the Central Army, his face changed, and he secretly screamed badly, he was afraid that the target would be exposed, and the little devil was on guard, look at this posture, after a while, the machine gun bullets would hit the brothers, he glanced at Chu Tian beside him nervously, but found that this Chu detachment leader didn't even move his eyelids, not only Shi Jinsheng was nervous, but the other soldiers of the Central Army were even more nervous and panicked, if it wasn't for the special combat team members around him to hold it down, they might have detonated.

Chu Tian saw Shi Jinsheng's nervousness, and whispered in his ear: "It's okay, this is the usual trick of the little devils, calling fire reconnaissance and scaring people," This kind of situation is not only commonplace among the special combat soldiers, but also the soldiers of other units of the independent division, and they don't take him seriously

Sure enough, after firing a few shuttle bullets, seeing that there was no movement, a Japanese soldier with a walkie-talkie on his back screamed, the Japanese search force, after leaving four armored vehicles at both ends of the Longtou River Bridge, the rest of the Japanese soldiers, jumped on the armored car, and drove towards Duyun with a bang, Shi Jinsheng stretched out his thumb to Chutian in admiration.

Chu Tian laughed silently From the northeast to North China, and then to the south, the little devil's methods are still old-fashioned, and there is nothing new about the so-called ace 15th Army, which is nothing more than that, just to scare these soldiers of the Central Army who have not been on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the independent division take it to heart.

After more than 20 minutes of the Japanese armored convoy, a dense sound of motors, together with countless horses' hooves, and the shouts of Japanese soldiers sounded in the distance.

"Pass down, prepare for battle" Chu Tian ordered in a low voice, when the Japanese convoy drove up the middle of the Longtou River Bridge, he said to Shi Jinsheng, who had been staring at him: "Detonate" As soon as the words fell, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and in the dark night, a huge fire suddenly burst out, and in the firelight, the entire bridge flew into the sky.

The sound of the explosion shook the dark night sky, and more than a dozen Japanese military vehicles on the bridge, with the flying rocks, were thrown high, which began to start with the first explosion, starting from the south end of the Longtou River Bridge, a series of explosions, constantly sounded, and a huge fire rose up, and the whole road was like a sudden eruption of magma, a powerful high explosive, which overturned the Japanese cars and artillery to the ground and sent them into the air.

The mules and horses dragging the artillery roared in the light of the explosion, and before the sound of the explosion disappeared, Chu Tian ordered again: "Ten mortar shots are fired rapidly," and in the woods on the side of the road, more than 60 mortars fired groups of shells at the Japanese baggage and artillery who were already in disarray.

The mortar shells that fell with a strange roar made the disaster of the Japanese army even heavier, and the targets of the gunners' shelling were strictly selected, and by the light of the explosion, the shells were like having eyes, and they accurately fell on the Japanese baggage vehicles and artillery, and the ammunition that exploded made a louder sound, and detonated the surrounding ammunition trucks, and the sound of serial explosions came and went.

Those special combat personnel equipped with anti-tank guns, one by one, burst countless ammunition trucks, less than twenty minutes after the battle began, Chutian decisively gave the order to retreat, Shi Jinsheng beside him, still holding a formal rifle, non-stop shooting, burning fire, exposing the figure of the Japanese soldiers who were holding their heads and rats scurrying in front of him, watching the little devils fall under his guns one after another, Shi Jinsheng felt a hot taste in his heart.

Chu Tian ran a few steps, turned around, and saw that Shi Jinsheng was still shooting, so angry that he tugged at his collar, and shouted: "Don't die, retreat quickly," After a fierce run, the soldiers and special combat members of the Central Army got into the dense forest, and the Japanese escort troops, who woke up from the panic, rushed into the woods, only saw a few bullet shells on the ground, and the grass that had fallen down, and did not even see the shadow of an attacker, the situation in the dark night was unknown, and they did not dare to go deep into the mountains to pursue, so they had to look at the truck that caught fire and exploded in a daze.

Chu Tian, who ran through the two mountains, ordered to rest on the spot, dozens of soldiers of the Central Army, even nervous and excited, plus ran more than ten miles of mountain roads, one by one snoring and panting, and then looked at the soldiers of the independent division around him, as if they were nothing, there were no beads of sweat. This little mountain road is like a game for the soldiers of the special operations detachment

Shi Jinsheng gasped heavily, looked back at the road, the continuous explosions reflected the fire in half of the sky, and said to Chu Tian: "Chief Chu, my old history has completely convinced you, just this time, at least half of the little devil's baggage and cannon, if Commander Guo knows, wouldn't he be happy to drink a few more glasses?" ”

Chu Tian didn't speak, and said to the telegraph operator beside him: "Send a report to the division commander, my ninth and eleventh detachments of special operations, in cooperation with the special service battalion of the 19th Group Army of the Central Army, ambushed the Japanese baggage and artillery units at the Longtou River Bridge, the Longtou River Bridge has been destroyed, and the Japanese army's losses are currently unknown, please ask for instructions on the next step." ”

After a while, Tang Qiuli called back, "Captain Chu, the call has been received, I am very relieved, this battle can effectively relieve the pressure on the Duyun defense line, you can rush to Duyun City, meet the 19th Group Army Guo Huawen Leap Order, convey my concern about the battle situation, and then, you stay in Duyun, establish radio contact with Commander Guo, and report the battle situation in Duyun at any time." ”

Chu Tian said to Shi Jinsheng, who had already heard stupidly: "Battalion Commander Shi, let's cross the river from a safe place immediately and meet you Commander Guo," Shi Jinsheng asked tentatively: "Chief Chu, is the division commander you are talking about, is it Vice Chairman Tang?" Chu Tian asked strangely: "What's strange about this, our special operations detachment is directly under the command of the division commander, and if we don't report the situation to him, will we still report the situation to others?" ”

Shi Jinsheng looked at Chu Tian's eyes, not only admiration, but also deep awe, this Chu chief, with his hands and eyes all over the sky, directly contacted the second person in the national government, this ability, in the ** team, that is the absolute henchman of the highest commander, unconsciously, Shi Jinsheng's mentality, there has been a subtle change, Chu Tian also felt this, he didn't care, took the team, and rushed to the next ferry overnight.

Fengwen under the mountain, who had approached Xiyun Peak, the southwest barrier of Duyun City, saw the deep fortifications on Xiyun Peak, which confirmed his hunch, the Hengshan Wing had all broken jade, and more than 3,000 imperial soldiers died, and even Hengshan Jinyong died in battle, he didn't pay much attention to it, what made him very annoyed was that his plan failed, and with the lesson of Xiyun Peak's loss, the commander of the government army in China made up for the loss of Duyun Fortress and turned Duyun Barrier Xiyun Peak into a strong fortress.

For him, this is definitely not good news, annoyed to annoyed, Yamashita Fengwen has not lost his mind to order the infantry to attack the position of the government army in Xiyun Peak, he is waiting, the heavy artillery unit catches up, tomorrow at dawn, he will use hundreds of large-caliber heavy artillery to bombard the soldiers of the government army on Xiyun Peak, the bones are gone, whether it is Xiyun Peak or Duyun City, it cannot become an obstacle to the advance of the 15th Army.

In order to achieve the purpose of the campaign, Yamashita Fengwen arranged a main division, more than 24,000 troops, responsible for the main attack on Xiyun Peak, he gave the commander of the main attack division was to capture Xiyun Peak in four hours, open the gate to Duyun, and the attack time was 8 o'clock in the morning.

Before the operational meeting was over, a staff officer hurriedly came in, "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the artillery and baggage troops, at the Longtoujiang Bridge, were attacked by unknown armed forces, and suffered heavy losses, the loss of baggage and artillery is being counted, the Longtoujiang Bridge was blown up, and the artillery units could not reach the battlefield within five days." ”

The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became heavy, and the commanders of the divisions and brigades of the Japanese army who participated in the meeting all knew that without artillery, it was impossible to attack Xiyun Peak, unless the corpses of the imperial soldiers were used to fill the peak, could it be that more than 90,000 imperial soldiers were under the city of Duyun and did nothing for five days? These high-ranking Japanese generals turned their attention to His Excellency the Commander.

Yamashita Fengwen was finally angry, and did not fight a single battle in Duyun City, first losing a wing, and then a baggage and artillery unit, and was ambushed inexplicably, these fools, they didn't even know that the attacker was the Chinese armed forces there, and they didn't even know the lost baggage and artillery.

"Baga," Yamashita Fengwen roared angrily and overturned the table, "Order, the captain of the 73rd Wing who guards the baggage and artillery units commits suicide by disembowelment, and the engineer wing must repair the Longtoujiang Bridge within eight hours, otherwise, the captain of the Wing commits suicide by disembowel, and I will see the artillery appear at the foot of Xiyunfeng Mountain before eleven o'clock tomorrow noon, and the attack time will be changed to thirteen o'clock in the afternoon." ”

After venting his anger, Yamashita Fengwen turned around and rushed out of the tent angrily, leaving the stunned Japanese commanders at all levels, they all came from the Longtou River Bridge, just the water potential, not to mention eight hours, even eighty hours, and the bridge could not be repaired, Your Excellency the Commander is crazy.
