Chapter 146: Misunderstanding
"Nani! The Gongteng Department was raided by the Chinese Zengwan Bell Army? The fourth floor of Tomamidi, who received the call for help, couldn't believe his ears.
The brigade staff officer also said: "It's incredible, if Zeng Wanzhong wanted to attack our army, he would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until the reinforcements arrived?" I guess another regiment from the Eighth Road has arrived! ”
The commander of the Tomamidi Brigade nodded with satisfaction and said, "Oh, Sodosne, I think that's the case!" But it doesn't matter, the more the Eight Roads come, the greater our achievements! ”
The staff officer hurriedly bowed and said, "Hai! Your Excellency, you can get another medal after this battle! ”
Tomami smiled proudly and said, "You can also hang one on my right shoulder, so it will be easy to see my daughter!" ”
This guy is a brave general in the Japanese army, and he is good at "dragging the knife". When he attacked Linfen City, he burned all over the houses to show his retreat, and when the defenders relaxed, he returned and pounced and took the city in one fell swoop. He was also awarded the Emperor's Order of Merit for this.
This made Tomamichi very proud, and boasted in a letter to his daughter: "The emperor gave me a medal because I entered Linfen first, and I have hung it on my left chest." The medal was so heavy that it weighed down on my left shoulder. But my right shoulder is also raised, do you think I look like Mussolini? Funnily enough, this letter was later captured by the Eighth Route Army and became a big joke.
Tomamichi was also very cunning during this invasion, often pretending to withdraw his troops, inducing the Eighth Route Army to pursue him, and then setting up an ambush halfway down the road. However, this trick did not work in the base area. Because there are eyes and ears of the Eighth Route Army everywhere here, the ambush of the Japanese army will not work at all.
Although he was dismissive of the Eighth Route Army, Tomamidi still ordered the march to be accelerated. After all, he was the commander-in-chief of the two Japanese armies, and if his subordinates suffered too many casualties, he would not be able to explain to his superiors.
Commander Qi Sixian had just led his troops to the intersection at this time, and it took him a lot of thought to collect the soldiers who had fallen behind. But before he could catch his breath, the scout cavalry suddenly came to report and said, "Tuanza, a large number of Japanese troops have appeared in the direction of Liaoxian, and they are galloping along the main road!" ”
"What!" Qi Sixian jumped up in surprise and hurriedly said, "Quick, pick up the division for me, I want to talk to the division!" ”
The communications squad leader said, "No, Tuanza." There are too many mountains here, and the signal is too weak, so you can only send a telegram! ”
Qi Sixian said: "Okay, you send a telegram immediately, saying that the Japanese army is approaching, please tell me what to do!" Then he said to the deputy commander: "Inform the battalions, finish the rest and prepare for battle!" ”
Zheng Weiguo was also taken aback when he received the telegram, and said: "The Japanese reinforcements have arrived so soon!" ”
Chief of Staff Zhou had already returned from the Third Army at this time, and said busily: "Division, what's going on?" ”
Zheng Weiguo handed him the telegram and said: "The Japanese army has come to aid from Liao County, and the strength of the army is unknown!" And it's about to encounter the 342nd regiment! ”
The chief of staff pondered for a moment and said: "Division, the enemy situation is unknown, it is not appropriate to let the 342nd Regiment engage in the battle alone, it is better to let them retreat into the mountains and let the enemy in to fight!" ”
Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Okay, you go and inform the 342nd Regiment to transfer immediately, many of them are soldiers who have fallen behind, and their combat effectiveness is very weak, once they encounter the enemy, it is very dangerous!" ”
The chief of staff said: "Yes, division!" Then he hurriedly went to contact Qi Sixian.
Zheng Weiguo said to Director Xiong again: "You take a reinforced battalion to the north and completely defeat the enemy forces in the encirclement, so as not to smash with us later!" ”
Director Xiong said: "If you want to bring it, it is better to bring a regiment and bring more artillery!" There are three brigades on the Japanese side, and it is not easy to defeat them at once! ”
Zheng Weiguo said: "Okay! Just do as you suggest, but quickly, the Japanese reinforcements are estimated to be coming in another hour! ”
Director Xiong said: "Yes, Master, I promise to complete the task!" ”
The order was transmitted to the 342nd Regiment, and Qi Sixian quickly commanded the troops to withdraw into the mountains. If the two regiment leaders Ma Biao and Li Dazhuang were most likely to ask to fight and see, but Qi Sixian would not. He is the kind of officer who has a strong executive ability, and he will not easily disobey the orders of his superiors. Of course, it is not his style to withdraw without firing a shot.
Regiment Commander Qi called the commander of the engineer company and said, "Do you still have that big bomb with you?" ”
The engineer company commander hurriedly said: "Take it!" ”
Commander Qi said: "Okay, we will withdraw immediately, but we can't let the devil have a good time." You take someone to bury a few in front of you, so you can see how effective this thing is! ”
The engineer company commander was overjoyed and said, "Okay, just wait for my good news!" ”
Not long after the 342nd Regiment and the stragglers in the shelter withdrew, the commander of the Tomamidi Brigade galloped in with a large group of men and horses. At the head was a squadron of cavalry, galloping down the road, the sound of horses' hooves rhythmically.
But this rhythm was soon interrupted by a sudden loud noise. When the smoke cleared, there was a huge crater on the road, and seven or eight dead horses were scattered around it, and the riders on horseback fell farther away, and some of them were already in pieces.
Squadron leader Saburo Sahei rushed to the front of the line, but narrowly escaped. Because the horse was very fast, the fuse of the mine was obviously not an instantaneous fuse, and by the time it exploded, the squadron leader had already rushed out of the field for a long distance. However, although the shrapnel did not catch up with him, the huge wave of air still knocked him to the ground. Zuo Ping rolled around on the ground in pain, seemingly breaking his leg.
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, how are you feeling?" Seeing that Zuoping Saburo couldn't get up for a long time, the medical soldiers hurriedly rushed over for treatment.
Saburo bared his teeth in pain and said, "Bastard, my leg seems to have been blown off by a damn mine!" ”
The medic looked at the explosion site in horror and said, "Your Excellency, are you sure that this is caused by a landmine?" I thought that only heavy artillery had such power! ”
Zuoping Saburo looked at the big pit and was puzzled, how could there be such a powerful mine?
On the hillside not far away, several sappers were snickering triumphantly. One of the sappers said: "The division is so good, the power of this heavy artillery shell is great!" ”
Another sapper said: "It's a pity it's cavalry, if it's infantry, I can show my hand!" ”
The sapper in front said: "Don't worry, the devil can only take this road, there must be a chance." ”
This mine was modified from Russian-style 114-mm artillery shells that Zheng Weiguo brought back from Xi'an. He thought the cannon was too cumbersome, so he didn't ask for it, but he really asked for a lot of shells.
After getting it back, he let the arsenal start to transform it into a super mine. At present, there are two varieties, one is the high-explosive mine that has just exploded, which uses a trigger fuse to deal with larger and heavier targets, such as armored vehicles or tanks; There is also an anti-infantry directional mine, which has two types: trigger fuse and electric detonation, which can be used against group infantry. These two weapons have been tested in the arsenal and are incredibly powerful!
When Tomamichi heard that there were high-powered mines on the road, he hurriedly brought a team of sappers to check on them. They were also secretly frightened when they saw the big pit, and the sappers were forced to explore the way, but they were very afraid. Because with this power, Ultraman can't stand it.
The sappers of the 342 regiment also discovered the actions of the Japanese troops. A sapper hurriedly said to the company commander: "Company commander, look, the devil sapper is detecting mines!" ”
The company commander smiled: "It's okay, let them dig!" ”
It didn't take long for several Japanese sappers to find a mine. But they were stupid when they used a lightning detector rod to probe it, because the outline of this mine is too big! The soldiers were so frightened that cold sweat came out! It was not easy to dig out this big guy after the last time.
Looking at this super mine, Tomamichi and his old friends were stunned. Tommy said, "Soga, what an amazing weapon! He said he wanted to get a closer look.
The commander of the engineer company of the 342nd regiment saw it and hurriedly said: "Quick, bring the detonator!" As soon as I got it in my hand, I saw that Tomamidi was stopped back by the guards again. Tomamichi also seemed to realize the danger, so instead of approaching, he took a few steps back. The engineer company commander sighed in disappointment, put the detonator aside and continued to wait.
Soon, the Japanese sappers dug several large mines in a row. Tomamichi was very happy and said, "Quickly, get rid of it all!" Don't delay the clearance of the large army! ”
By this time, the Japanese sappers had already found the location of the electronically controlled mine. The commander of the engineer company said that it was a pity, and then pressed the detonator hard. With a loud bang, the lightning suddenly exploded, and due to the directional setting, shrapnel erupted from the barrel of the cannonball, forming a huge wave of fragments. These debris instantly emptied the road in front of it by a large margin.
What's even more terrifying is that the few mines that the Japanese army dug up also exploded without warning! It turns out that there is also a fuse in this mine, which will explode in the event of a violent vibration, and is specially designed to deal with tanks. As soon as the tank passes by the mine, it will explode regardless of whether the track is crushed or not.
The Japanese sappers didn't know what to do, thinking that if the trigger fuse was removed, it would be fine, but who would have thought that there would be such a trick. To be honest, even the engineer company commander of the 342 regiment did not think of it. Four or five heavy artillery shells exploded at once, and a Japanese engineer squad was reimbursed on the spot.
Tomamilou was a little farther away, and there were loyal guards to cover him, and he finally saved his life. But he was furious and scolded: "Baga! Who did this? Go scout and see where the Chinese army is nearby! ”
A staff officer hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Panlong Town in front is the defense area of Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army. ”
Tomi Lou was furious, pulled out a matching knife and cut off a small tree on the side of the road, and roared: "Zeng Wanzhong, Bage Yalu!" I'm going to give you a taste of the power of the Great Japanese Empire! ”
