Chapter 307: The Battle of Majiazhai (2)
Fortunately, although the reconnaissance platoon's actions were a little slower, they finally came back before Lin Qungao couldn't wait anymore. After descending the mountain, looking at the reconnaissance platoon with a bundle of tight young men, Lin Qungao and his instructor took a big jump. I let them go to the guide, not let them tie up the pigs. How can you tie people up, and what difference does this bandit kidnap ticket make?
Looking at the battalion commander and instructor who were very angry, the reconnaissance platoon commander who led the team said hehehe: "Battalion commander, instructor, it's not that I have to be strong." There were not many people here, but when they saw us, they hid faster than rabbits, and they all ran to the mountains to hide. ”
"We finally found a few people, and let us wear out all the skins, and there was no one to show us the way. Either keep your mouth shut and don't say a word, or you don't know what to ask. This superior task still has to be completed, and there is no way to do it, so I can only move strongly. Although this method is a little rougher, it can be regarded as completing the task of the superiors. ”
While Lin Qungao was listening to the report of the reconnaissance platoon commander, the instructor over there loosened the tie on the frightened young man. Slowed down as much as he could: "Don't be afraid, young man, are you from this area?" We are not bad people, we are fighting devils and destroying the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Coalition Army in this Manchukuo. ”
"I want to ask, is there any other route here that can bypass the valleys around Majiazhai and go directly to Majiazhai Village? If you don't want to show us the way, can you show us the way? We can pay you a certain amount and will also guarantee your absolute safety. ”
It's just that no matter how pleasant the instructor is, the young man who was arrested just doesn't open his mouth. Just stared at his shoes and didn't say a word. This young man's performance made the reconnaissance platoon commander scratch his head and said, "Instructor, he is not dumb, he shouted very loudly when we arrested him." ”
"Is this kid scared? No, I can't. Although we tied him up, we didn't do anything rough with him along the way. Afraid that he would fall down with his hands and feet tied, our people were carrying him along the way. I told him when we were on the road that we would let him go back as long as we showed us the way. ”
Hearing the reconnaissance platoon commander say that he was not dumb, the young man raised his head and looked in front of him, and talked to him very kindly: "Sir, we know that you are the Anti-Japanese Federation, and you are specialized in fighting devils. But some time ago, the Japanese said that if anyone showed you the way or anyone helped you, they would kill the whole village. ”
"We don't know if you're going to retreat this time. What if you are withdrawing after this battle, and the little devils really retaliate? The little devil is ruthless and does what he says. We have no choice but to hide when we see you. ”
"Last year, one of my sisters married to my uncle in Qingyuan County, and there are a few people in their village who joined you. After you withdrew, hundreds of people in the entire village were killed by the devils. We support you in fighting devils, but if you stay permanently, it's okay, if you leave after the fight, the unlucky ones are the common people. ”
"Little devils kill people, but they are never reasonable, they don't care how many people participate in you, anyway, the so-called family of bandits and the whole village sitting. It's not that we don't want to help you, it's that we really don't dare to help you. In case you are gone, the little devils come back, they are going to kill. ”
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but as long as I show you the way, let the little devils and those two dogs know, the whole village won't be able to survive at that time. Sir, I beg you, you better let me go back, my father and mother are still waiting for me in the mountains. ”
Hearing the reason why this young man didn't gnaw, Lin Qungao and his instructor were a little heavy at the same time, and at the same time, they assured him: "Don't worry, this time we will not only not leave, but also completely liberate the entire South Manchuria." We want to destroy the enemy army in Majiazhai this time in order to completely liberate South Manchuria. Look at us iron guys, do you think the little devils can resist? ”
"Don't worry about showing us the way, this time the two of us promise that we will definitely not be walking. Well, young man, with the two of us here, I want to reassure you, you should trust us. We are the main military and political commanders of this army, so what we say is not worthy of your trust? ”
After listening to Lin Qungao and the instructor's assurances, this young man looked at the two tanks behind him, hesitated for a long time before nodding slightly: "Two chiefs, in fact, it is not for nothing to bypass the valleys in front of you and directly enter Majiazhai. Most people think that entering Majiazhai can only be through a few surrounding valleys. ”
"Actually, there is another route, and you don't have to go through those valleys. From here, you turn in the direction of the hilltop fort in the southwest, and after bypassing two villages on the line of Zhaojiagou, you turn southeast in the direction of the southeast. After climbing over a low mountain pass, there is a natural tun. From there, you can bypass the col in front and insert it directly into Majiazhai. ”
"But the mountains are not high, but there are no routes for you big fellows to go except for a few trails and the course of a small river. There are two rivers between that natural tun and Majiazhai, but the amount of water is not large, and there is no problem for people to wade through it. ”
"Between that natural tun and Majiazhai, from that natural tun to the river south of Majiazhai, there is still a large pear grove. So from the commanding heights around Majiazhai, you can't see here. That natural tun, only five miles away from Majiazhai, is basically a flat land sandwiched between two mountains.
"In the summer, I was caught by little devils digging trenches. I don't know anything about it, but I know that the things they're building in this direction seem to be very simple, basically nothing, just some very simple things along the river. ”
Speaking of this, the young man looked at Lin Qungao and the instructor in front of him, paused for a moment and said, "Two chiefs, you can say that you will not leave again." You have to talk about it, and the lives of our people in a village are in the hands of your two chiefs. ”
After this young man finished speaking, Lin Qungao and his instructor glanced at each other excitedly. Lin Qungao patted the young man and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely do what we say this time." Even if you let us go, we won't go. I promise not to let the little devils come to harm your family and folks again. ”
After all, Lin Qungao didn't care whether people wanted to or not, for fear that this young man would run away. Immediately grabbed the young man and pulled him directly to the turret of the tank. After the order to immediately load the infantry with tanks, there was no hesitation in the immediate departure.
Under the guidance of that young man, Lin Qungao and his subordinates' roundabout operation was basically carried out relatively smoothly. Although when they crossed the mountain pass, the height and slope of the pass were somewhat unexpected to them, and it was impossible to climb it directly.
For the sake of secrecy, I had to pick up all the sapper shovels, dig the slope as gently as possible, and cut down some trees from the mountains on both sides to pave the way. In order to facilitate the passage of tanks, the delay was more than an hour away. The rest of the interspersed actions, as if walking with a watch, can be almost unimpeded all the way.
When his tank battalion and an infantry battalion in coordination rushed into this natural cantonment surrounded by mountains in the stunned eyes of the villagers. He realized that the terrain here, except for the previous pass, was simply prepared for himself, with shallow and deep circuitous routes.
Indeed, the entire route from this natural tun to Majiazhai is full of dense pear forests, and although it is located in the terrain of two mountains and one ditch. However, the mountains on both sides are not only not high, but the slope is also quite gentle. Own tanks can even go directly up the hill and move along the mountainside.
At the same time, there is a gravel-bottom river in the pear grove that is enough for your own tank to rush out, the water depth is no more than a foot and neck, but the width is more than ten meters. The most important thing is that this is only five miles away from Majiazhai, and the defense of the Japanese army in this direction seems to be as simple as the young man said.
In fact, no matter how the Japanese army's defense in this direction is, but for Lin Qungao, it is now a bow and no turning back. I have been delayed for too long, and if I continue to grind, I will really miss the fighter. Since there was no other choice, Lin Qungao was ready to let go without any scruples.
After another check of the camouflage on the tank, and at the same time checked the tank's fuel and ammunition for machine guns and artillery. Lin Qungao directly ordered, he took a company to follow the river in the center, and the second and third companies went directly up the mountain, and the soldiers rushed directly in the direction of Majiazhai in three ways. And each tank carried an infantry platoon to speed up the movement of the infantry.
Lin Qungao's hand gave up the fixed attack route of the Anti-Union these days, and found another way to adopt the tactics of the black tiger from another direction. If the Japanese army is in the key direction of defense on the periphery of Majiazhai, it will quickly and directly break into Majiazhai, a small mountain village east of Zhonggu.
It is indeed a bit unexpected, and the current eyes have been attacked from both the east and the west, which has firmly attracted the attention of the Japanese army in Majiazhai in the past. And as the lad said, the defense of the Japanese army in this direction was thin. His tank cluster, when advancing towards Majiazhai, did not encounter too many resistance. The number of enemy troops encountered along the way and the points of fire, compared to other directions, can even be described as not worth mentioning.
After rushing out of the woods, he had already arrived outside Majiazhai Village, although he encountered several Japanese field machine gun fortifications and a rapid-fire gun fire point. These fortifications, which were not worth mentioning in Lin Qungao's eyes, were ordered by him to use tanks to rush up directly and crush all the people and equipment in the fortifications into the ground.
I really couldn't crush it, so I shot it one by one and shot it like a target. In the case that his troops had already reached the outside of the village of Majiazhai, and even the Japanese troops running back and forth in the village had seen it very clearly, there was actually nothing to hide. At this time, whoever fires first will be able to take advantage of the big advantage.
When Lin Qungao's tank cluster suddenly came out of the distance of five miles from the southwest mountainous area of Majiazhai and suddenly appeared on the other side of a river east of Majiazhai, the entire Japanese army in Majiazhai fell into chaos. None of the Japanese troops in Majiazhai thought that the enemy would come out of the safest place.
Because of the direction that Lin Qungao rushed out, it had always been unusually calm before. Since the campaign was fully launched, the offensive on the front line of Majiazhai has always been in the west, southeast and north. Because of the terrain, the southwest direction did not become the offensive route of the Anti-United Nations.
And topography is a mountain col, almost all of which are surrounded by surrounding mountains, except for the only entrance and exit. Light infantry was probably possible, tanks simply did not have the possibility to get in that direction. Therefore, the Japanese army in that direction, except for some field fortification groups of anti-infantry troops, almost did not have any permanent fortification groups.
