Chapter 237: Gathering Annihilation

The first opportunity is in hand, it does not mean that victory is coming, the next task is to turn the opportunity into a chance of victory, this is what everyone is looking forward to the most, Zhou Zijian commanded the Mukden soldiers to quickly find favorable terrain and build an ambush position, they know very well that there is not much time left for themselves, and the Japanese may kill at any time.

In fact, they were preparing for battle all the way, if the Japanese took the lead, they would have to have a field battle with the Japanese, which was also a strict order issued by Zhang Tinglan, since he saw through the Japanese's plan to destroy the Middle Road, Zhang Tinglan would definitely not let them succeed.

As the name suggests, Guangdingzi Mountain is actually a huge stone mountain, surrounded by a large number of rocks, and the mountain road passes through the middle of the rocks, with peaks on both sides, which is an ideal terrain for ambush warfare.

"The first platoon, the second platoon is responsible for building positions on both sides, the third platoon is on alert, the scouts act immediately, find the whereabouts of the Japanese, and report immediately!"

Zhou Zijian gave the task, and all the soldiers were busy, they chose the most favorable terrain on the mountainsides on both sides, and used the original large rocks to hide the machine guns and prepare for the attack.

At the same time, in the valley they were not polite, and laid some mines, which were undoubtedly a cheap and effective weapon. Modern mines were first developed by the Russians and achieved certain results during the Russo-Japanese War.

Zhang Tinglan corroded the Russian Far East to such an extent that it was obviously not very difficult to get a few mines, and after getting the sample, the arsenal began to make this thing.

Mines don't need to be very high, and they don't need to be too powerful, Zhang Tinglan asked that the mines made only need to blow up a leg. On the battlefield, the stress of a wounded soldier is far greater than that of a dead person, because there is a seriously wounded person to be cared for. At least two people must be separated, which is equivalent to subtracting three living liliang at once.

It is the terrible howl of the wounded soldiers, which can greatly affect the morale of the army, and the soldiers who are injured by the mines are a very unfortunate group of people, they will not die, but they will definitely amputate their limbs, and because they are very close to the vital points of the men, often when they explode, there will also be incidental damage.

Even if they survived, there were no critical parts. The wounded have to endure both physical and mental contusions, and it can be said that the anti-infantry mine is a very insidious weapon, and Zhang Tinglan is still reluctant to take it out when dealing with his own people. But now that we are facing the Japanese soldiers, there is nothing to be polite about.

Zhou Zijian had a whim when he laid out the mines. He did not place mines on mountain roads, but behind rocks on the side of the road.

He also had his own considerations for doing this. Once the Japanese were attacked. As a group of experienced soldiers, they will definitely use the rocks around them as cover and fight back.

If they suddenly stepped on a mine while they were hiding behind a rock, the killing effect would have been good, and it would have caused panic among the Japanese. Let them develop fear in their hearts, so that they will completely fall into passivity.

Just when they were busy, Zhang Tinglan led the follow-up troops and finally arrived, in order to ensure the fastest speed. Along the way, dozens of horses alone were killed, and many soldiers simply threw away half of their rations, keeping only weapons and ammunition.

After some wild running, they finally caught up, and when Zhou Zijian saw Zhang Tinglan leading a large army over, he hurriedly ran over to report.

"Brigade commander, we have set up our positions, the Japanese have not yet rushed over!"

"Hmm." Zhang Tinglan nodded with satisfaction, don't look at the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese, but that advantage can only be brought into play when the large army is fighting, and the small force is fighting, as long as the Feng army occupies the right time and place, it is still very sure to deal with them.

This is not arrogant, just after the 918 incident, the anti-Japanese volunteers in the northeast took advantage of the terrain to defeat the Japanese many times, but unfortunately a large number of traitors took refuge in the Japanese, with the help of these local snakes, the Japanese finally broke up and eliminated the volunteers.

"The scouts have stepped up their reconnaissance, and everyone else has entered the position, ready to meet the enemy at any time!"

After the order was given, the soldiers quickly entered the halfway up the mountain on either side, using branches and weeds to hide themselves. Zhang Tinglan also commanded the sappers to plant a large amount of explosives on both sides of the road, and as long as the Japanese came in, they would first enjoy this special gift.

Just when the Feng army was actively preparing, Yuchi Yuichi also led more than 300 people and nearly two squadrons of Japanese soldiers on the road to advance rapidly.

At first, the Japanese conceived well, and with their help, although Gao Shiwei could not defeat the Feng army, it was enough to disturb Fengtian, and then the Kwantung Army used force to force Zhang Zuolin to make concessions.

Although the idea was very good, the combat effectiveness of the Feng army far exceeded their estimates, and a single regiment stopped Gao Shifu, and all the artillery aided by the Japanese was destroyed. ‘

Yu Zhixiong was like being caught in the heart, liver and lungs, and the pain went into the bone marrow, which was unbearable. And what made him even more unbearable was that Gao Shifu, the anti-bone boy, actually fell out with him, and the two almost started fighting, Gao Shifu is not a fool, seeing his own people being used as livestock, he is completely cannon fodder, and he is worthless in the eyes of the Japanese.

Gao Shifu had to raise this kind of question, as a person who could even abandon the motherland, it was not surprising that he was abandoned by others.

Seeing that this alliance was about to break, fortunately, at this time, the Japanese Kwantung Army sent some more manpower and brought 500,000 yen to help Gao Shifu appease the army, and issued a new combat order to Yu Zhixiong, asking him to lead his subordinates to attack the South Manchurian Railway in a roundabout way, creating an excuse for the Kwantung Army to send troops.

They sent some soldiers to assist Gao Shifu in the battle, and continued to drag down the Feng army troops in Siping, Gao Shifu can be regarded as sober, the Japanese are playing the trick of borrowing the corpse to return the soul, unfortunately he is just the prop used by the Japanese.

This is not the same thing as the original agreement to push him to the position of the king of the Northeast, Gao Shifu regretted it to the extreme, but when he got on the thief ship, he couldn't go down, and he was a dog for the Japanese. It turned out that the Fang Wendong brothers in Dongbian Road were a lesson from the past.

Feng Jun and Yi Jun have fought, and the 27th and 28th Divisions have also fought, but they all abide by one principle in their battles, that is, they will always save each other's lives, but in the Fang Wendong brothers, Zhang Zuolin is ruthless.

Although the two brothers died in the rebellion, all their family property was confiscated, and their families were severely fined and forced into hard labor. Moreover, all the middle and high-ranking officers who followed them in rebellion were executed, and the soldiers were all sent to the Yalu River to be allowed to atone for their sins.

Warlords are in trouble, civil war is inevitable, and they can still hold their hands high. And collusion with outsiders is naked treason. There is nothing good to say. To the death, even the people of Beiyang can't say anything, on the contrary, they hate these traitorous bastards.

Since he embarked on this road, Gao Shifu had no chance to turn back, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to be a dog for the Japanese. Yuichi Tamachi also got a precious opportunity to atone for his sins. He led his subordinates, under the guidance of the guide, around the battlefield and quickly detoured behind the back of the army.

Yu Zhixiong is eager to win. Along the way, they kept urging their subordinates to speed up the march, it can be said that they used all their strength to eat, and they walked faster and faster along the main road, and the quality of these Japanese soldiers was indeed excellent, if they followed this speed, even if they could not rush to Guangdingzi Mountain with the Feng army, it would not be too bad.

However, people are not as good as heaven, and after some militia discovered them, some militiamen reported the situation in front of the Japanese in a hurry, and at the same time desperately rushed to the front of the Japanese to inform other farms, so that the farms and farms along the way were ready, and the militia were all on alert.

These militiamen consciously carried out the sabotage operation, they directly demolished the wooden bridge over the river and threw the logs into the stream. There is a lot of rain in the Northeast in summer, and the originally inconspicuous rivers will swell and become a roadblock.

Yu Zhixiong was unlucky as soon as they were in a hurry, and they had to constantly repair the roads, and some villages even sent militia to carry out sneak attacks.

These militias have undergone a certain amount of training, and they do not seek to hit a few, as long as they can play a harassing role, it is precisely because of the actions of these militias that the speed of the Japanese has been seriously delayed.

Yu Zhixiong was resentful, and he even had the heart to attack various villages, but as soon as he thought that he would delay precious time, he could only give up, and after they had worked hard, they finally rushed to the vicinity of Guangdingzi Mountain.

They were already nearly three hours behind the expected time, and Yuichi Tamagi's heart felt like it was on fire, and they entered the valley directly under the guidance of their guide.

The road is getting more and more difficult, not only narrow, but also full of rocks, and the guide is still introducing the situation: "As long as we cross Guangdingzi Mountain, we will only be dozens of miles away from Shuangmiaozi, and we will be able to arrive immediately." ”

He was still introducing, but a hint of alertness suddenly flashed in Yu Zhi Yuichi's eyes, the terrain here in Guangdingzi Mountain was too dangerous, there were stones on both sides of the mountain, and dense bushes, even if there were thousands of troops hidden inside, it was difficult to find.

Thinking of this, a cool breath appeared on Yu Zhiyui's neck, and he was thinking about whether he should send more scouts to figure out the situation before moving on. Just as he hesitated, he heard a violent explosion in front of him, and the sound echoed through the valley, becoming more and more deafening.

It turned out that one of the unlucky people who was in charge of opening the way stepped on a mine, and one leg was blown away, and the guide next to him was also affected by shrapnel, and both of them fell in a pool of blood, wailing incessantly.

The explosion of the mine, like a combat order, suddenly erupted more than a dozen tongues of fire from the mountainsides on both sides, condescendingly, frantically shooting at the Japanese soldiers in the valley, dozens of people were caught off guard in an instant, and were swept through, no matter how brave these Japanese soldiers were, they were all flesh and blood, and after being shot, they were all over with their lives.

When Yu Zhixiong saw this situation, he was about to go crazy, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Hide quickly!" ”

In fact, without his command, the experienced Japanese had already rolled to the boulders on both sides and sought refuge. However, to their surprise, when they reached the bottom of the stones, the explosion became more violent, and mines were constantly touched, and the Japanese were soon killed and wounded.

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan also let the pre-planted haode explosives detonate, and the huge explosion completely enveloped the entire valley, and the Japanese were wiped out.

In this round of raids, the Japanese lost more than 60 people killed at once, and dozens more were wounded, and their combat effectiveness was weakened by a third at once.

In addition to strafing with machine guns, they also took advantage of the conditions of the mountain to throw grenades down continuously.

Zhou Zijian also commanded a few soldiers, using the bushes as slingshots, using the elastic force, throwing cluster grenades, several grenades stacked together, the lethality was no less than a small cannonball, and soon the valley was littered with rocks, and the Japanese soldiers were beaten in embarrassment.

Zhang Tinglan also showed a pleased smile on his face, the war pays attention to the right time, place and people, although the Japanese are strong, but they have not occupied any of them, and this bad luck is inevitable.

"Brothers, work hard to send these brutes to hell!" (To be continued......)
