Chapter 231 The Present Is Not What It Used to Be Section 2 The Iron Camp
Six miles northwest of Hongshi Lengzi Township, there is a small mountain village called Tieyingpan, according to the villagers, it is said that in the past Song Liao exchanged troops, here was also a key pass where Yang Linggong had a soldier, and the wall built of the stone that still remains on the mountain is the site of the Tunbing Village of the year.
The road from Lingqiu through the Taohuadong is in the valley under the mountain of Yingpan Village, the terrain of Yingpan Village is located on this big mountain and the Taohuadong side of the mountain looking north and south, in the middle of this formation of a small basin, it can be said that Tieyingpan Village guards the road to the north, when the Song soldiers chose here to be the location of the soldiers, it is accurate to pinch the terrain, quite a husband when the meaning of the Guanwan is not open.
The special training camp forcibly marched from Qinglonggou and arrived at Hongshilenzi Township, it was already getting dark, and Fan Daring heard a report from the local comrades that the devils who had come from Lingqiu had made rapid progress and had gone south for more than 30 miles in one day.
And the devils who came out of Laiyuan on the eastern front were not fast, they walked less than 20 miles a day, and now they have only arrived at Zhangjiayu in the east of Liushugou, and they have stopped and can't go, and it seems that they will spend the night there tonight.
And the devils on this road in Lingqiu have no intention of staying overnight, and at this time in Hongshi Lengzi can still hear the sound of gunfire from the valley in the west, and flashes of light burst out in the sky in the west from time to time.
The special training camp is almost at the limit of physical exertion at this time! But the enemy situation was urgent, and he couldn't stop to rest, so the guard company commander kindly asked Fan Daring, do you want to let the special training camp rest, and they will go up first? Fan Daring also learned from Yang Bangzi, glared, and said angrily that Lao Tzu is the chief of staff, and this is still Lao Tzu's final say!
The three companies of the special training battalion were ordered to rush to Tieyingpan immediately, and with the cooperation of the villagers of Hongshilenzi Township, they occupied the positions on both sides of the highway in the dark and blocked the devils going south, and the guard company and the local armed forces of Shuibao Township immediately went east, and the guard company built a position in the area of Juyan Mountain. Don't take the initiative to attack, and wait until the enemy attacks the giant rock mountain before blocking the devils.
An iron foot plate is an iron foot board! The special training camp stopped at Hongshi Lengzi for fifteen minutes, and immediately ran another six miles to Tieyingpan, where the battalion headquarters and the first company were on the hillside east of the village. The second company was on the western slope of the village, from the hillside to the top of the mountain, and built three lines of defense in turn, and the third company was placed on the top of the mountain as a reserve.
As soon as the companies were in position, and before they had time to build their positions, they found that from the north to the south in the valley of the black and dark land, a bright brigade of men and horses had come! The devil is very arrogant, with torches, flashlights, and big headlights on in the car. Rushing from the valley to the north!
The road spirals up from the valley along the slope of Tieyingpan, and the road turns seven or eight bends on the slope of a few hundred meters high, and then turns over the ridge on the west side, and then spirals down, which is the steepest part of the road leading to the horse post. Although the Tieyingpan Highway is also winding, there is no such a high drop.
The snow on both sides of the mountain road has not yet melted, it is frozen, the sun is slightly softer on the road during the day, the melted snow water and mud are mixed into mud, and when you step on it, it is a mud lump that sticks to the soles of your shoes, and it will become an ice shell when the cold wind blows after dark, and the temperature drops.
During the day, the devils forcibly marched for dozens of miles on such a muddy mountain road. We also have to be on guard at all times against the cold guns and cannons fired from behind the rocks, and the mines explode from time to time in the snow and mud, which make motorcycles and cars unfast, and often fall into mud pits, and have to be carried out by shoulders. The bikes that open the road can't pedal far before they have to come down to clean up the mud on the wheels and forks.
After dark, the road hardened, and the commander of the special rescue team of the 47th Division was Kato Shoji Osaku of the 91st Infantry Wing, and the rescue team he led consisted of a mountain artillery brigade of the 91st Infantry Wing and the 47th Mountain Artillery Wing, as well as engineers, baggage, and health teams, a total of more than 4,000 people. According to the plan, it will take two to three days to join up with the Qingshui Wing, and they are ready to rush to Shuibao Township today, because the road is not easy to walk, and they have encountered many times of small groups of local armed forces on the Eighth Road, so they are still less than 20 miles away from Shuibao Township when it is dark.
Kato Osa heard that the road surface was starting to harden, but after looking at it on the spot, it was okay for the infantry to walk over with this kind of frozen surface, but motorcycles, cars, mules and carriages would still sink into the mud when they passed, but considering that it was necessary to speed up the march and seize the key points on the road that the Shimizu Wing had to break through, Kato Osa ordered the bicycle squadron and an infantry brigade that opened the road to leave the wing headquarters and attack and advance to Shuibao Township alone, with the wing headquarters following behind.
What Fan Daring saw behind the ancient village wall was that when the devils divided their troops, the big car lights and torches were grinding in the valley, and groups of infantry devils riding bicycles and lined up in two columns began to come along the winding mountain road.
After more than half an hour of going around and around the mountain, the devils who were pouting their butts and riding bicycles were about to approach Tieyingpan Village, the small mountain village has a small population and not many houses, which will have evacuated the villagers a long time ago, so there is no light in the village.
The devils stopped more than a hundred meters below the entrance of the village, just below the ancient wall, and dangled towards the small mountain village on the hillside with flashlights. Marching in the dark night, the devil is not stupid, such a steep terrain, and a small mountain village, there should be eight roads, whether there is or not, shoot yourself first and then speak!
A shot was fired, except for the sound of gunfire echoing in the valley, the sound of the whirring mountain wind sweeping over the hillside. Seeing that there was no movement in the four corners, the devils picked up the bicycles placed on the side of the road and rode hard towards the small mountain village.
It's almost to the platform outside the village next to the road, and you can get there with a few more kicks, and the first few devils have a flower in front of them, a tight body, and the heat wave hits, and the body flies into the air! The bicycle also flew up with them, the rim, the pedals, the triangle, and the devil floated and floated in the air, falling down in a hurry, scattered all over the hillside!
"It's a landmine!" The captain of the bicycle squadron behind shouted loudly, and the devils who were not bombed jumped off their bicycles one after another, ready to dodge to the side of the road to dodge, and the gun on the terrace outside the village rang off! The grenades were also thrown down in rows, blowing up the devils on the road, and many bicycles were also blown apart and deformed.
This platform is close to the highway for more than 100 meters, and the entire devil's bicycle squadron is on the road under the platform, which is equivalent to the bullets fired from the top of the brain and the grenades thrown down.
The infantry brigade was separated from the bicycle squadron that was opening the road by a bag of cigarettes, and as soon as they heard the fierce gunfire in front of them, they immediately turned their normal marching pace into a running charge, and they rushed up the hill!
The defeated devils and the infantry brigade that ran up met on the mountain road below the ancient wall, and it was time to strike! Fan Daring took the lead in wielding heavy machine guns, and fiercely strafed the devils under the mountain, and in an instant, more than a hundred rifles and machine guns fired bullets at the devils who were messing around on the mountain road!
Within a few minutes, this supplementary division formed in Japan to strengthen local operations completely collapsed! Almost all of the 47th Division's secret transfer to the Chinese theater were recruits who had never fought before, and they were suddenly ambushed by the Eighth Road, and they couldn't even organize a decent counterattack, and the captain who led the team couldn't stop the fleeing subordinates, so he could only order to retreat!
The iron-clad battalion and flowing water soldiers are just the iron-beaten battalions of the eight-way defense, and the devil soldiers who run faster than rabbits are the flowing water devil soldiers! Fan Daring didn't expect this devil army to fight so much, the guns had only been fired for a few rounds, and the devils left the dead and wounded, and they ran away! On the mountain road of more than 200 meters from the ancient village wall to the entrance of the village, there are discarded bicycles and devils who have been killed and injured everywhere!
