33. The independent road was trapped in danger, and the surprise attack of the Ringsheng Cavalry Regiment was terrified
Kumamoto Division since the last time it was beaten by the 11th Division suffered heavy casualties, one of Kumamoto's arms was also blown off, fortunately the rescue was timely, otherwise even his dog life would be over, after Kumamoto recovered from his injury, he wanted to find the 11th Division for revenge, it happened that this day the Eighth Route Army Independent Brigade because of the lack of military food, the brigade commander Guo Yiming heard that Qinglongji is a very rich place, so Guo Yiming took the Eighth Route Army Independent Brigade to Qinglongji to collect grain, stationed in Qinglongji is the Imperial Association Army Security Corps, the regiment commander is called Chen Xuefeng, This person is also a well-known hardcore traitor. The Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army inevitably had a vicious battle, but Chen Xuefeng's security regiment couldn't help fighting, that is, in half a day, Chen Xuefeng's security regiment was beaten to the point that he lost his armor and collapsed, Chen Xuefeng fled from Qinglongji in a hurry, this Chen Xuefeng in order to shirk responsibility, actually said that it was the troops of the national army who attacked Qinglongji, there were 20,000 or 30,000 people, not only a large number of well-trained, but also very sophisticated weapons and equipment. Kumamoto originally wanted to punish Chen Xuefeng heavily, but as soon as he heard Chen Xuefeng's report, he did not hold Chen Xuefeng accountable, because Kumamoto believed that the troops of the national army that Chen Xuefeng said, judging from the numbers, combat effectiveness, and weapons and equipment described by Chen Xuefeng, were likely to be the troops of Liu Chenzhou of the 11th Division of the national army.
Kumamoto thought that if Chen Xuefeng was defeated by the 11th Division, it would be forgivable, because the strength of the 11th Division was about seven or eight times that of the Security Regiment, and the 11th Division was not only well-trained, but also very sophisticated in weapons and equipment, not to mention that Liu Chenzhou was a scheming old fox, and the Kumamoto Division was not the opponent of the 11th Division, how could Chen Xuefeng's Security Regiment be the opponent of the 11th Division, so Kumamoto was bent on looking for an opportunity to take revenge. As soon as Kumamoto heard Chen Xuefeng's report, Kumamoto gritted his teeth with hatred, Kumamoto immediately took the Kumamoto division to Qinglongji, the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army was still collecting food, and he had not had time to retreat, at this time the Kumamoto division arrived, in fact, Kumamoto was a great commander, and he knew the importance of the speed of the soldiers. Kumamoto surrounded the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army at the fastest speed, and Kumamoto surrounded the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. Since I don't have the ability to eliminate the 11th Division of the National Army, don't I have the ability to eliminate the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, if I want to eliminate the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, it is simply effortless.
The reason why Kumamoto is so confident is because Kumamoto found that the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army not only has a small number of more than 4,000 troops, but the Kumamoto division has 20,000 people, and the weapons and equipment of the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army are even worse, an independent brigade only has five or six light machine guns, most of the guys in their hands are old-fashioned Hanyang-made grenades, and the military uniforms they wear are also ragged and tattered. Whether it is in terms of strength or weaponry, the strength of the two sides is very different, so Kumamoto does not take the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army seriously at all. Kumamoto looked at the telescope for a long time, Kumamoto's heart was crying and laughing, Kumamoto was originally looking for revenge from the 11th Division, but he didn't expect to meet the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army by mistake. Kumamoto said that if I can't even destroy such an independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army in Kumamoto, then I, Kumamoto, am really a straw bale rice bucket, although I, Kumamoto, was defeated twice by the 11th Division, but if I can eliminate the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army, I can more or less restore the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army, and also wash away the shame of my Kumamoto's two defeats.
Therefore, Kumamoto gave a death order, we must completely eliminate the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Kumamoto mobilized 100 Type 92 infantry guns, and bombarded the position of the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army indiscriminately, Kumamoto thought that the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army was simply vulnerable to a blow and would collapse, but Kumamoto was surprised to find that although the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army was poorly armed, our combat effectiveness was very strong. In particular, their marksmanship surprised Kumamoto even more, as long as the Kumamoto division rushed forward, it was not long before it was beaten back by the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and a large number of Japanese corpses fell on the ground, and the Kumamoto division launched more than a dozen charges against the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army, but they were all repulsed. Kumamoto was like a mad dog, and Kumamoto ordered the artillery to bombard the positions of the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Kumamoto deserved to be an excellent commander, and Kumamoto quickly saw that although the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was resisting stubbornly, he was afraid that the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army would not last long.
The Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties, and the brigade commander Guo Yiming finished speaking in his heart, this time my Independent Brigade was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out, at this time, the commander of the first regiment, Ge Zhenjiang, ran in front of Guo Yiming, and Ge Zhenjiang said loudly; Brigade commander, what should we do if we run out of ammunition in our regiment, Guo Yiming looked at Ge Zhenjiang and said; The second and third regiments don't have much ammunition, and when the little devils get close, they must try to save bullets, if the bullets run out, they will fight with the little devils with bayonets, and they will die. Ge Zhenjiang said; Brigade commander, hurry up and send a telegram asking for reinforcements, Guo Yiming said; There are no other friendly troops in our vicinity, and the closest to us is the 13th Division of the Nationalist Army, Chen Gang, to whom I have sent several telegrams asking for reinforcements, but there is still no movement, Ge Zhenjiang said; Brigade commander, we still have the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, the political commissar of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment He Gang, he is not only your old subordinate but also a Communist Party member, I believe He Gang will never die without help. Guo Yiming said; However, Changfeng County is more than 500 miles away from Qinglongji, and even if they can come for reinforcements, I am afraid it will be too late, Ge Zhenjiang said; Brigade commander, you are wrong, the horses of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment are much faster than the two legs of our infantry, maybe they will be able to come in time for reinforcements.
Guo Yiming said; Well, anyway, now we have no other hope, whether it works or not, we must send a report, even if a dead horse is a live horse doctor, so Guo Yiming immediately ordered someone to send a report to the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, at this time Kumamoto was secretly proud, Kumamoto laughed; Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, I want to see how long you can hold out. Maybe Kumamoto never dreamed that the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment had gradually approached the Kumamoto Division, He Gang and Jiang Zhifei took the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment and galloped towards Qinglongji like the wind, He Gang and Jiang Zhifei expected to arrive at Qinglongji at three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was only two o'clock in the Qinglongji, a full hour earlier than the expected time. Everyone can already hear the dense gunfire in front, He Gang said; The brothers all dismounted to rest, Jiang Zhifei said; He Gang turned out that we have already arrived, why don't we fight Kumamoto in one go, and take the opportunity to relieve the siege of the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, why do you still let everyone get off the horse and rest, He Gang said; You see, our soldiers and war horses are already tired and out of breath, how can this be a war, so we must let the soldiers and war horses rest for an hour, and they and the war horses will recover a little bit of physical strength, and it will not be too late to fight again, anyway, even if we rush forward now, our combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Jiang Zhifei nodded when he heard it and said; Everyone got off the horse to rest, eat some dry food and drink some water, and by the way, also fed some forage to the war horse, so everyone got off the horse to rest, everyone should eat and drink, and also feed some forage to the war horse by the way, everyone rested for more than an hour, He Gang said; The brothers mounted their horses and prepared for battle, so everyone mounted their horses and galloped in the direction of the dense gunfire. As he approached the position of Kumamoto's division, He Gang immediately ordered to stop advancing, Jiang Zhifei said; What's wrong with He Gang, He Gang ignored Jiang Zhifei, He Gang took out the telescope and looked at it carefully, He Gang said; The devil's artillery position is in the southeast corner, and Gao Feihua will take the three battalions to destroy the working artillery position, so that the pressure on the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army can be greatly reduced. After killing all the devil's artillery, he blew up the devil's cannon as well, and then went around the devil's back to launch a surprise attack, did you hear clearly, Gao Feihua said; I know, after Gao Feihua finished speaking, he led the third battalion to the devil's artillery position.
He Gang said; Gao Feilong, you took the second battalion, went around to the back of the devil, and attacked the left flank of the devil, Gao Feihu, you took the first battalion to the back of the devil, and attacked the right flank of the devil, the fourth and fifth battalions followed me around the back of the devil, attacking from the front of the devil, He Gang gave an order, and everyone rushed to their respective goals. Gao Feihua took the three battalions around to the back of the devil's artillery position, and launched a surprise attack on the devil's artillery position, Gao Feihua took advantage of the devil's deafening artillery sound, and quickly approached the devil's artillery position, Gao Feihua's three battalions almost ran to the devil's back, and the devil realized that there was an abnormal sound behind him, and the devil's artillery looked back, and one by one couldn't help but panic. Gao Feihua soon came to the front of a devil, Gao Feihua picked up the saber and slashed at the devil's head viciously, only to hear a pop, half of the devil's head was still on his neck, but the other half of the devil's head had already moved. The other devils were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, and at this time, the soldiers of the third battalion rushed up, that is, in ten minutes, all the devils' artillery became ghosts under the sword. Gao Feihua said; You guys go quickly, I'll blow up the devil's cannon first, and then say, the other soldiers immediately turned their horses' heads and ran forward when they heard it, only to see Gao Feihua take out a grenade from his waist, and then pull the string and throw it on the devil's cannonball, and then Gao Feihua hit the horse like a fly, and quickly caught up with the troops in front, at this time Gao Feihua only heard, and the rumbling behind the violent explosion was deafening, Gao Feihua knew that the devil's cannonball had been detonated, and there was no need to ask the devil's cannon to finish.
Gao Feihu's battalion went around the back of the work and launched an attack on the right flank of the devil, the fire cloud rushed away like a fiery red lightning, although the speed of the first battalion was very fast, but when it was about a hundred meters away from the devil, the devil had already heard the violent sound of horses' hooves behind him, and there was a lot of work to look back at one by one and couldn't help but be shocked. It should be said that the Yamamoto division is still quite well-trained, there are many devils hurriedly raised their guns to shoot at Gao Feihu, Gao Feihu saw that something was wrong, Gao Feihu hurriedly put his body on the left side of the fire cloud, and rows of bullets whistled over Gao Feihu's head, in the blink of an eye, Gao Feihu was only forty or fifty meters away from the devil, Gao Feihu hurriedly turned over and sat on horseback, Gao Feihu raised two box cannons, referring to the east and west to shoot the bow, and the devil in front of him suddenly fell a large piece. The soldiers of the first battalion arrived one by one, each of them took two box guns and fired frequently at the devils, and the devils were killed and wounded a lot, just before the other devils could react, the first battalion had rushed to the front of the work, and the soldiers pinned another box gun to their waists one by one, they held the box cannon in their left hand to shoot, and the right hand held a saber to cut at the devil in front of them, and the devils were beaten one by one to cry and cry for their mother.
