21 Division Commander Liu strategized and the veteran general won a decisive victory

Chen Gang looked into the distance, only to see the little devils around him in a mess, the shouts of killing in all directions and the explosion was deafening, Chen Gang knew that reinforcements were coming, Chen Gang shouted; Brothers, don't panic, our reinforcements have arrived, rush out with me, at this time the 13th Division launched a counter-charge to the Kumamoto Division, the Kumamoto Division was suddenly defeated, and Kumamoto saw that the matter was not good and quickly ordered the troops to withdraw to Qingzhou City. In a panic, a large number of guns and ammunition were thrown down, and the fifty mountain artillery were still there, the Kumamoto division was simply embarrassed, Chen Gang quickly joined Liu Chenzhou, Chen Gang saw Liu Chenzhou, and immediately stepped forward to hold Liu Chenzhou's hand tightly, and said excitedly; Commander Liu, you came too timely, if you are a day late, I am afraid that my 13th Division will be wiped out, on behalf of all the officers and men of the 13th Division, I thank you for saving your life. Liu Chenzhou said with a smile; We are all subordinates of Commander Chen of the 21st Army, and it is appropriate to help each other, but we should get out of here now, and we can't stay for a long time if there is a place of right and wrong, Chen Gang said; Why don't we take Qingzhou City in one go, Liu Chenzhou said; The combat effectiveness of the Kumamoto division is extraordinary, and the reason why we were able to win this time was because we were unprepared for the attack, so Kumamoto was in a mess for a while, and I think it won't be long before Kumamoto will make a comeback.

Chen Gang nodded and said; Okay, I'll order the troops to retreat, someone reported to Liu Chenzhou; What to do with the fifty mountain artillery, Liu Chenzhou knew that the mountain artillery belonged to a kind of heavy artillery, and if there was no car to pull it, it would be impossible to transport them away by manpower alone. Liu Chenzhou immediately ordered all fifty mountain artillery to be blown up on the spot, Kumamoto suffered a big loss this time, Kumamoto immediately ran to the Yamamoto Division, and asked the commander of the Yamamoto Division, Yamamoto Shuichi, for help, but was scolded by Yamamoto, Yamamoto immediately replenished Kumamoto's troops, guns and ammunition, and asked Kumamoto to fight a decisive battle with the 11th Division again, and use Liu Chenzhou's blood to wash away the shame of the Imperial Japanese Army. This time Kumamoto is full of confidence and ready to fight to the death with the 11th Division, Kumamoto since the last time Liu Chenzhou was defeated, he was very annoyed, when he fled in a hurry, he didn't even know who the opponent was, and later after many inquiries, it turned out that it was Liu Chenzhou's 11th Division that attacked the Kumamoto Division, Kumamoto hated it, and Kumamoto secretly swore not to destroy the 11th Division.

Half a month later, Kumamoto made a comeback, Liu Chenzhou at this time had long since disappeared, after Liu Chenzhou successfully rescued the Thirteenth Division, he immediately sent a telegram to Chen Yiming, Chen Yiming was angry and hateful, but anyway, the Thirteenth Division was successfully relieved, and Liu Chenzhou contributed a lot. Liu Chenzhou is a well-known old fox, Liu Chenzhou is thinking, Kumamoto lost so badly last time, Kumamoto will definitely not give up, and will definitely look for my eleventh division everywhere to fight against each other, why don't I teach Kumamoto a hard lesson again. Liu Chenzhou directly sent electricity to Kumamoto in clear code, the message said; Last time, in order to relieve the siege of the 13th Division, I had to raid your department, resulting in heavy casualties in your department. Kumamoto received the telegram and burst into a thunderstorm, in Kumamoto's opinion, this was a blasphemy, insult and provocation against the Imperial Japanese Army, Kumamoto said through gritted teeth; This time, I must completely wipe out the 11th Division to relieve the hatred in my heart.

In Kumamoto's view, the Chinese army absolutely does not have such courage and courage, dare to openly argue with the Japanese Imperial Army, let alone confront the Japanese Imperial Army head-on, they are nothing more than to engage in surprise attacks and guerrillas, which is the strength of the Chinese army. In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest came, although the guns and ammunition of the 11th Division were sufficient, but there was a shortage of food, Liu Chenzhou planned to snatch back the grain near Qingzhou, first, to replenish the military food, second, the common people could also fill their bellies, and third, as long as the grain was snatched back, the Japanese army would have no food, which was also to contribute to the War of Resistance. But Kumamoto is not idle, he also knows the importance of food, so both sides have launched a fierce battle for food, Qingzhou City to the east eighty miles, there is a big mountain called Crouching Tiger Mountain, from a distance it looks like a colorful tiger lying there, Crouching Tiger Mountain is named because of this. The mountain road of Wohu Mountain is very rugged and difficult to travel, the mountain is full of large and small caves, the big caves can accommodate thousands of people, and the small ones can also accommodate one or two hundred people, these caves are very hidden, so these caves have become the most ideal refuge for the common people.

Liu Chenzhou encouraged the people to quickly harvest the grain, and then transport it to Wohu Mountain together, in order to grab the grain as soon as possible, Liu Chenzhou ordered the officers and soldiers of the 11th Division to grab the grain with the people, Kumamoto is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but also grabbed a part of the grain, Kumamoto learned after many inquiries, Liu Chenzhou's 11th Division is hidden on Crouching Tiger Mountain, Kumamoto is determined to fight to the death with Liu Chenzhou. At this time, Liu Chen saw that the grain harvest was almost over, and Liu Chenzhou asked the people to hide in Crouching Tiger Mountain, and not to go down the mountain casually in case of accidents. Liu Chenzhou was thinking that although Kumamoto lost very badly last time, it was because the concealment work of the 11th Division was very good last time, Kumamoto didn't find it at all, and there was also Chen Gangli and Wai Ying, if the last time the soldiers and generals really fought and killed, the 11th Division might not be able to win, Kumamoto is actually a not simple character, if Kumamoto knew that the 11th Division was hidden on Crouching Tiger Mountain, what would Kumamoto do. Liu Chenzhou's brain was spinning rapidly, Liu Chenzhou was thinking, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Kumamoto Division is, he is afraid and does not dare to rashly attack Wohu Mountain, because Kumamoto must know that the terrain of Wohu Mountain is dangerous and difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and if Kumamoto wants to win, he must let the Japanese planes bombard Wohu Mountain indiscriminately, until he thinks that it is almost the same time to launch an attack, and then it will be much easier.

Thinking of this, Liu Chenzhou hurriedly ordered the troops, all of them were hidden in the cave, and there was nothing to do not go out of the cave, in addition, Liu Chenzhou also asked the common people to hide in the cave in case of accidents, as Liu Chenzhou expected, the Japanese bombers carried out carpet bombardment of Crouching Tiger Mountain in the afternoon, but everyone was already ready to hide in the cave and let the Japanese bombers bomb indiscriminately. Liu Chenzhou was thinking hard again, if according to Kumamoto's character, how Kumamoto planned to fight after the bombardment ended, Kumamoto was arrogant and conceited, and he would definitely think that we would only hide on Crouching Tiger Mountain and rely on the favorable terrain to maneuver with it, so that although we could not effectively hit the living force of Kumamoto's division, we could minimize our deaths, so Kumamoto would definitely concentrate superior forces and launch a fierce attack on Crouching Tiger Mountain, so that the form of our army would be very worrying.

If we run to the foot of Crouching Tiger Mountain and ambush Kumamoto on the plains dozens of miles away, Kumamoto will not think that we dare to ambush him on the plains, and if Kumamoto ambushes Kumamoto on the plains, if Kumamoto sees the intentions of our army, he mobilizes bombers in the air and large-caliber artillery on the ground to bombard our positions indiscriminately, we will be tantamount to committing suicide. The benefits and risks are equal, if you don't take the risk to fight guerrillas on Crouching Tiger Mountain, although Kumamoto has no way to take us, but after a long time, what if our food is eaten up, Liu Chen Zhou Silai decided to gamble, if Kumamoto discovers the intentions of our army, my 11th Division will be completely annihilated by the Flying Tiger, if Kumamoto can't see it, we can also give Kumamoto a fatal blow.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the bombing ended, Liu Chenzhou immediately ordered the troops to go to the plain of dozens of miles below the Wohu Mountain to ambush Kumamoto, Liu Chenzhou in order to be foolproof, personally inspected the terrain, and finally Liu Chenzhou selected a large area of wild grass as a position, this large area of wild grass is enough to cover an area of hundreds of acres, the average height of the wild grass here is fifty or sixty centimeters high, and the wild grass is very dense and lush, this can be said to be the most ideal ambush area. Liu Chenzhou ordered the troops to do all the camouflage, lie in the grass and do not move, if the Kumamoto Division comes, even if it is bitten by a poisonous snake, it will not make a sound, whoever dares to expose the target I will kill him immediately, the officers and soldiers of the 11th Division lie in the grass, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Kumamoto Division. Everyone lay in the grass all night, until noon the next day, the Kumamoto division finally drove over, Kumamoto looked at the large field of wild grass in the distance, Kumamoto immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing, at this time his staff officer Tanouchi Masao said; Your Excellency Commander, why did you stop the troops from advancing, it was because you were afraid that Liu Chenzhou would set up an ambush here, Kumamoto said; Yes, Liu Chenzhou is a cunning old fox, so we have to guard against it.

Masao Tanuchi said; Your Excellency the Commander is too worried, if Liu Chenzhou dares to set up an ambush here, if the target is exposed, then he will be tantamount to suicide, Kumamoto nodded and said; Yes, there are still seventy or eighty miles away from Crouching Tiger Mountain, in case they expose the target and want to escape, I am afraid it will be too late, as long as we mobilize bombers and a large number of mountain artillery to bombard Liu Chenzhou's position indiscriminately, Liu Chenzhou's 11th Division can only become our cannon fodder, said Masao Tanouchi; That's right, Liu Chenzhou even has ten guts, and he doesn't dare to set up an ambush here. Kumamoto nodded and said; Yes, immediately advance to Crouching Tiger Mountain, at this time the surroundings seemed very quiet, more than 25,000 people lying in the grass were silent, it can be seen that the combat quality of the 11th Division is very high, and the concealment is also quite in place, and when the Kumamoto Division gradually approaches the wild grassland, Liu Chenzhou shouted; Brothers, hit me hard.

In an instant, all the light and heavy firepower was fired, and the bullets rained down on the Kumamoto Division, and the Kumamoto Division was suddenly in chaos, but Kumamoto was a veteran after all, and although the Kumamoto Division fell a large part at the beginning, Kumamoto quickly stabilized the troops and adjusted their positions, and fought back hard. Liu Chenzhou couldn't help but gasp, the reason why he was able to win in the last battle was that it was also unexpected, but it was Chen Gang who carried out a powerful counterattack inside, and everyone should work together to beat Kumamoto to the point of losing his armor, and now there is no other troops to cooperate, can this battle still be won, it seems that Liu Chenzhou still underestimated the strength of Kumamoto's division and Kumamoto's excellent command ability. Kumamoto immediately ordered the artillery to bombard Liu Chenzhou's position, and rows of mortar shells fell on the position of the 11th Division with a whistling sound, and the soldiers of the 11th Division suddenly fell in large pieces, Liu Chenzhou immediately ordered the artillery battalion to knock out Kumamoto's artillery position, and the artillery battalion immediately adjusted its artillery position and fired at Kumamoto's artillery position, and these shells fell almost accurately on Kumamoto's artillery position as if they had eyes, and Kumamoto's artillery position suddenly became dumb.

Kumamoto was taken aback, this time Kumamoto knew the power of the 11th Division, Liu Chenzhou ordered the artillery battalion to destroy all the light and heavy firepower of the Kumamoto Division, at this time the artillery battalion fully exerted its power, those light and heavy machine guns and machine guns were all blown up into the sky, and the Kumamoto Division had no artillery position, and there was no light and heavy machine gun firepower, and the 11th Division suddenly felt more relaxed. At this time, Qin Ming suddenly saw an officer with a devil in the distance, and saw him shouting with a command knife in his hand, Qin Ming yelled; Liu Er was stunned, can you kill that devil's officer with one shot, Liu Er was stunned and said; No problem, Liu Er was stunned and immediately readjusted the gun position, and shot it with a bang, only to see that one of the devil's officers' arms was immediately blown away, and the devil's officer screamed, and immediately fell to the ground and fainted, this devil's officer is Kumamoto Ichio.

As soon as Kumamoto fainted, Liu Chenzhou saw that the time was ripe, and Liu Chenzhou shouted; Rush to capture Kumamoto alive, the soldiers rushed to the position of the Kumamoto division one by one like wolves, no matter what, the combat effectiveness of the Kumamoto division is still quite strong, at this time Masao Tanuchi served as the commander, he ordered the retreat while commanding the troops to fight, Liu Chen looked at the current situation of the Kumamoto division on Monday, they were still fighting in an orderly manner, while retreating in an orderly manner. The two Liu Chenzhou praised with a sigh; It's a well-trained Kumamoto Division, but no matter what, I can't let you go so easily, the 11th Division and the Kumamoto Division launched a fierce fight, the Kumamoto Division can be said to have suffered heavy casualties, although Liu Chenzhou's 11th Division fought with all its might, some of the Kumamoto Division still escaped.
