Chapter 22 Six to One Section 1 There are cannons on eight roads!
Captain Iizhao hid behind a bag of sand and soil, and he couldn't let out his sulk! The two brigades took turns to seize the commanding heights on both sides of the road, and attacked and advanced for 3 miles in the dark, and finally they could see the hill of the Fallen Horse Pass, and they couldn't attack it!
The terrain here is complicated and confusing, the road winds around the valley, and the sides are full of steep cliffs, and it is impossible to send people up to protect the two wings, and as a result, after not walking a few steps, stones and stakes roll off their heads, and the cold guns are put vigorously, and from time to time a few mines explode under the feet.
Compared to the bad situation here, the devil who walks the horse post is even more miserable! There were gunshots and shouts of killing everywhere in all directions, except for the radio that could be kept unblocked, all the telephone lines leading to everywhere were cut off, because the main force of the wing was transferred to the Reverse Horse Pass, and the remaining brigade plus some auxiliary units could not defend such a large area of several square kilometers, and the Imperial Allied Army was a lot, and it was all a waste! The squadron leader had no choice but to order all forces to be reduced back to the town.
The worst thing was that in the dark, it was not clear how many eight-way sieges there were in the town, and the soldiers could only hide in the fortifications and desperately fire guns and artillery. The reinforcements sent by Lingqiu and Laiyuan are still trapped on the ruined and muddy road, and it is said that they are also besieged by a large number of eight roads.
Iizhao Osa had just heard from the radio that there was surprising news from the Horse Station. I don't know if it was the Eighth Road that infiltrated the town in advance, or the Eighth Road that broke through the outer fortifications and came in, and actually blew up the arsenal and the warehouse of baggage supplies! The whole town is now full of sky-high fires, and the town is in chaos inside and outside the town!
The news of the attack on the horse post came not long after, and the devils in front of the horse pass were panicked! In case the horse post is lost, the friendly troops in Laiyuan and Lingqiu will not be able to receive reinforcements, and this lone army trapped in the hinterland of the mountains will face a desperate situation!
Almost all of the middle and lower rank officers demanded to retreat, and even some of the soldiers refused the order to attack forward. Iizhao Daisa is ruthless! scolded his subordinates for a long time, and also took out his war knife and chopped a soldier who refused to fight alive, which can be regarded as stabilizing the chaotic military heart.
Infantry artillery, mountain artillery, and grenadiers were ordered to dump shells on the hills on both sides, covered by heavy machine guns, and officers with experience in mountain combat personally led the team, and finally won the commanding heights on both sides at the cost of dozens of soldiers' lives.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Iiaki Daisa observed the town of Kawaguchi a few kilometers away for half a day with a cannon scope, and his heart was full of doubts, and in the dark night, there was no light in the town in the distance. After thinking for a while, he decided not to put all his troops in, and only sent a squadron carrying a field radio along the road to occupy the town of Kawaguchi.
A few kilometers of road is no different from the road to hell for the devil, and after being shot countless times and stepping on dozens of mines, this squadron of pathfinders finally reached the west end of the town.
The road opening team at the front dimly seemed to see several rows of figures on the road at the entrance of the town, and they did not move or make a sound. The sentry shouted tentatively, but there was no response. The squad leader gave the order to shoot, and after a call, there was no return fire. I had to send two battle groups to take cover and take a look at the situation.
The devils in these two groups stepped forward to see what was going on, and they were basically scared to pee their pants! The crying father who even crawled came back, and when he reported to the captain, his voice was still trembling, and his body was still trembling!
It turned out that dozens of wooden stakes had been erected at the entrance of the town, and all the corpses of imperial soldiers were tied to them, and their heads were cut off and stuck on the top of the stakes with their teeth bared.
After listening to the report, the squadron leader's face turned white, and the people who led the whole team looked over to see that it was indeed the case, the wooden stakes were full of imperial soldiers with their heads separated, and there was a body without a head, which was probably the one whose head was sent to the horse post.
Unexpectedly, a wooden board was found on the headless corpse, which read in Japanese: "Wait for the place of burial!" ", read the words clearly, the angry squadron leader kicked the stake down!" Rumble! There was an explosion, and the mines buried under the stakes bloomed again!
I didn't expect that there was a chain of thunder buried under this wooden stake, one sounded, and more than ten of them all rang! The living devils who were blowing up the corpses were screaming. Fortunately, it's not an iron guy, it's all stone mines that are used in the dirt road, and they didn't cause many casualties, but it's very strange that the gunpowder smoke from the mine explosion has a smelly smell, and there is a special feeling of choking the throat and spicy eyes.
The squadron leader's thighs and body were also injured by stone chips and iron sand that had burst out of the mines, and the wounds had a hot and spicy feeling, and they were particularly itchy. Ignoring this, he first told Iiaki Daisa about the discovery of the corpses of the imperial soldiers, and then sent several combat groups into the town.
After some searching, it was found that the huge town was not to mention people, there were no chickens and dogs, and the Kawaguchi stronghold had been completely razed to the ground.
When Iiaki heard about these circumstances, he estimated that the dead body belonged to the Imperial Army soldiers who died in the battle at the Kawaguchi base, and as for saying that there was no one in the town, it was expected, so to be stationed or not? He hesitated.
At this moment, the mountains in the distance suddenly lit up with a large area of light! On the high and low hills of Xiangshang in the northeast, east and south, the firelight is connected to the sky! In the telescope, you can vaguely see the shadows around the fire, all of them are wearing the clothes of the people in the activities of the people, shouting in the night wind, and the gunshots like popping beans are also sounded into a film!
Fan Zhaoxin said it badly! Fortunately, the whole team was not stationed in the town, and the Eighth Road had already been ambushed, leaving an empty town waiting for me to surround me after I entered!
Wiping the sweat from his head, he hurriedly ordered the squadron that called for pathfinding to take the corpse and retreat quickly. At the same time, troops were also sent to guard the direction where they came, and Iizhao changed his mind, so he retreated overnight and walked the horse post!
These are all gifts prepared by Yang Bangzi for him, hundreds of militiamen and thousands of fellow villagers, all the way to follow the devil from the horse post, there is no less teasing of the devil on the road, and when the devil is exhausted and hungry and thirsty, he let the devil go to the horse pass.
This is the first move, the second trick is the wooden stake at the entrance of the town, when Yang Bangzi confessed to the militia captain, he specially instructed not to let Hong Mei's political commissar know, after all, the flesh and blood of the corpse made the woman's family look bad, and the policy did not allow it, and it was to hit the psychological endurance of the little devil by sneaking it.
The effect is good, the little devil is most afraid of being beheaded, it is said that the soul can not get exceeded, plus the mine with special filling, the black light blind fire is indiscriminately exploded, and the devil's courage is completely frightened.
The third trick is to prepare countless piles of firewood and torches on the mountains around the town, as well as hundreds of temporary scarecrows, covered with clothes, and wait for the devil to enter the town, so that thousands of villagers will shout and shout together, and the firecrackers in the sheepskin iron bucket will explode, and the devil will run faster than the rabbit!
Iizhao Daisa, a high-achieving student of the Imperial Army University who had experienced a hundred battles, was fooled by the dirt eight roads and cunning fellow villagers, carrying dozens of corpses and hundreds of wounded soldiers, and began to retreat. It's not easy to retreat, and when I came, the place where I stepped on the mine was buried with a new one, and the cold guns and earthen cannons still reluctantly followed the devils.
The devils had no choice but to stop and cover both sides of the road in front of them every few hundred meters they advanced, and then they advanced again and covered with fire, stopping and going, and marching slower than when they came.
They slow down and are more or less down-to-earth, but the devils who go to the horse post are going crazy! None of the figures in the Eight Roads could be seen, but all around them were dense gunfire, and from time to time a certain stronghold or fortification in the town would be attacked.
At first, the devils thought that the Eighth Route was bluffing, but after several fortifications received a few real shells, they realized that the Eighth Route had brought heavy weapons, and this was really planning to capture the town. However, except for a few shells that were genuine, the sound of those guns was all the movement in the foreign leather barrel.
The devil is still wrong! As soon as the gunshots outside the town rang out after dark, they attacked the key points of the devils everywhere, specializing in ammunition depots and baggage depots.
But there is one thing that Yang Bangzi and the old five sons and Xiao Liangzi who led the team confessed, they were not allowed to fight, and they were almost tossed, leaving a few people, and all the rest withdrew. Tossing is not the ultimate goal, reconnoitring the position situation and firepower configuration of the devils is the goal!
These immortal five sons blew up the ammunition depot, burned the grain depot and the baggage depot, and touched the headquarters of the Imperial Alliance Army by the way, and they didn't know what official they killed, so they took off the map on the wall and withdrew. Leaving Xiao Liangzi and a few clever warriors to hide in a secluded part of the town, the rest slipped out along the river at the edge of the town.
According to the data marked on the map brought back by Lao Wuzi, Yang Bangzi and Lao Feng took 60 small cannons, circled around the town to give the intersection of the devil's garrison fortress and traffic trench, and put a few shells one by one.
It's a lively fight here, and Kawaguchi Town sent the news of the retreat of the big group of devils by oral transmission. At the same time, the news of coming to rescue the devils in the direction of blocking and harassing Lingqiu and Laiyuan also arrived, saying that the devils in these two places were more shrewd, and after occupying the commanding heights on both sides of the highway, they set up camp and did not leave.
That's great! Yang stick is happy! If you want to greet the three families for dinner, there is only one table left. That's not a good hospitality! Immediately ordered the 100th soldiers of the combat detachment to be divided into three combat groups, led by Yang Bangzi, Lao Wuzi, and Lao Feng, and waited for Yang Bangzi and them to take down a few fortifications on the periphery of the devil, and then slaughtered into the town and made a big fuss!
I contacted the militia and fellow villagers who came to participate in the war around me, set up jihua, arranged their respective division of labor, and in the night, the show began!
There is a guy in his hand, and his confidence and courage are strong! What's more, there are tens of thousands of fellow villagers behind him! Yang Bangzi has long been optimistic about the devil's position in the south of Zoumayi Town, which is close to the river and low-lying, which is easy to conceal and approach.
The fortifications built by the devils are to bully the Eighth Road without heavy firepower, the wooden planks are sandwiched with rammed earth, and then covered with a layer of sandbags, ordinary rifle and light machine gun fire really can't penetrate, but what about the shells? What about grenadiers? The devil was lazy and didn't think about how to defend, this time he suffered a loss, a few shells smashed up, and after a few grenadiers shot at close range, 3 of the 4 pillboxes were blown down, and the devils and puppet troops inside were buried in the ground.
More than half of the remaining bunker was blown up, and a few devils were still firing desperately around a heavy machine gun. Yang Stick made a few tactical leaps, followed the trench dug by the devil himself to the side of the pillbox, three grenades were tied together, a string was pulled, the heavy machine gun and the devils flew into the sky together, Yang Stick smacked his mouth, that means it's a pity that it's a good machine gun!
As soon as the opening in the south was opened, the devils who couldn't figure out the reality of the Eight Roads and the strength of the army completely lost the will to resist, and they came out of the fortifications on the periphery one after another, and ran back to the big stronghold in the north of the town.
There's no way, I can't get into the stronghold, I have to go into the fortifications to save my life, but it's all raised by my father and mother, this is not bullying the eight roads, these are all eight roads with cannons! Fight hard to be cannon fodder for the devil? I don't have to do it if I don't have an eye!
