Chapter 233: The Mystery Revealed Section 2 Pinch the head and remove the tail
If you don't use a gun and a stick to fight a wolf, you can't hit the head, the wolf's head is as hard as a dog's head, it's okay to go down with a few sticks, the wolf's key point is on the crotch, that place is the hook connecting the backbone and the hind legs, even if the hook is not accurate when a stick goes down, the wolf will temporarily lose the flexibility of the hind legs.
Yang Bangzi used the method of fighting wolves in the mountains to deal with the Qingshui Wing, and the first battalion of the 20th Regiment was deployed in the place where the river valley to the south of Nandaozui suddenly narrowed, and the heavy machine guns alone were given to the first battalion of four, plus the artillery company directly under the 20th Regiment, and as soon as they came up, they gave dozens of shells to the first brigade of devils, and the devils marching in dense formations in the river valley were killed and injured in an instant!
The devil can't develop a large force in this river valley at all, the river is only more than 100 meters wide from east to west, and there are steep cliffs on both sides, especially the gyro peak on the west side, which is towering into the sky, let alone occupying this commanding height, it is difficult to climb up! On the east side, there is a big mountain beam that winds over from the side of Longmen, all of which are stone ridges, and there are ice skates hanging on the rock wall, so it is difficult to climb!
The 1st Battalion of the 20th Regiment was in the position where the river was narrowed, and a stone dam more than 50 meters long and three or four meters high was built with large stone sandbags and other barriers, which strictly blocked the river valley, and the soldiers on the high ground on both sides shot and threw bombs condescendingly, not to mention how easy!
Qing Shui Dazuo instead ordered to rush over at all costs, which was really difficult, the first brigade was in charge of the assault mission, more than 700 people were suppressed on the river, it was difficult to find even a place to hide, and the artillery could not be erected, because the river was crooked, and the straight-line distance from the valley to the stone dam of the eighth road was only more than 100 meters! Can you still push the artillery there? Let's put it up in the back. The trajectory is blocked and the impact point cannot be guaranteed!
The captain of the 1st Brigade could only order the troops to spread along both sides of the river. The blockade on the left is above the rock wall on the right. On the right blockade on the left side of the rock wall, heavy machine guns, grenadiers and 37 caliber rapid-fire guns suppressed the fire on the eight roads on the high ground on both sides.
When a squad was full, there were only more than 50 people, and when Shimizu Daizo set out from the horse post, he selected more than 300 people from the auxiliary troops and added them to the first brigade with a relatively large number of attritions. So there's nothing wrong with the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers.
As mentioned earlier, if you want to talk about the number of people, the Qingshui Wing is not more numerous than the infantry wing in any field division, and it is not even as good as the infantry wing in the A division, but when he selected the soldiers of the wing, he chose excellent soldiers to serve as soldiers in various units in the wing, such as grooms, baggage, engineers, etc., and even the men were the sergeants and soldiers in the original 110th Division, don't look at the rice spoon. Guns are no worse than ordinary devils!
Just when the devil's first brigade was trying to stabilize its position in the head-on attack on the eighth road and was ready to launch a counterattack, it was separated by Longmen Mountain. The rearguard troops who were still in the valley between Dushan City and Longmen were also in a bitter battle at this time, and from the valleys around Dushan City, those seemingly loose small forces of eight roads, like sharp arrows shot at the devils, emerged from the valley and from the hills, in all directions!
And just now, it was surprisingly quiet, and the birds leisurely swept over Longmen Mountain on the peak, and the main force of the Eighth Route also emerged, along the ridge and mountain beam, like a door bolt, and suddenly separated the devil's team into two sections!
Qing Shui Dazuo has actually been worried about this in his heart, the Eighth Road has not shown any trace of the main force, Qing Shui stormed Xinchengzi and Miaogou Gate before breaking through to test the main force of the Eighth Road, and wanted to attract the main force of the Eighth Road to the southeast, so that he could turn around and go north with a false shot.
Qing Shui's fierce resistance that day really surprised Qing Shui, but he also thought that he had figured out the strength of the Eighth Road, just a regiment, even if the hundreds of people in the north were added, it was only a regiment-level unit of the Eighth Road, so he was relieved to go north immediately to break through.
And now Shimizu Daisa suddenly understands that he has been fooled! The Eighth Road actually deliberately let go of a road for him to go, and the location was so fierce in Xinchengzi and Miaogoumen, it was completely to let Qing Shui choose to go north in the Tang River Valley, this is a trap!
Judging from the current battle situation, at least one regiment of the Eighth Route Blocking Wing on the front line of Nandaozui was formed, and after talking to the adjutant general, he learned that there was not a single regiment of the Eighth Route besieging the rearguard troops, and there were still many local armed forces, and just behind their three brigades, it seemed that there would be no less than one or two thousand people suddenly appearing on the front line of Longmen Village. Doesn't aerial reconnaissance mean that a number of small units of more than 1,000 people followed around the rearguard troops?
The adjutant general of the Qingshui Wing led a rear guard force of more than 600 people, and at the same time that the vanguard troops in front of a few kilometers were blocked, they were ambushed in the valley just past Dushan Chengzi Village. These eight roads are too cunning, there are more than 2,000 devil soldiers in front of him, he doesn't pull the strings, he waits for the mule and horse team of the rear guard troops to arrive, and then he pulls the strings!
As soon as the mine goes off, the machine gun goes off! As soon as the machine guns rang out, there were gunshots in all directions, the high and low earthen beams, the patches of yellow and bare slopes, there were bullets and grenades flying everywhere, the most fatal thing was the earthen cannon hidden on the side of the dry river, several earthen cannons lined up together, strung with gunpowder twists, after the mine sounded, when the smashed mules and horses ran around in all directions, the guerrillas hiding on the slope set fire to the gunpowder twists that went down the slope, and the front and rear feet of several earthen cannons were tom, Countless iron sand and nails were sprinkled on the river beach!
Even if the little devil can endure the iron sand and nails, those mules and horses can't help it, and the more than 100 mules and horses are completely shocked! ran all over the river and valley, and kicked and injured more than a dozen Japanese soldiers!
The adjutant general, who was organizing a counterattack on the spot, saw that the Dushan City behind his troops was also rushing over to the Eighth Road, and understood that the back road had been copied. You can't go back. It can only move closer to the wing headquarters. The closer the better!
It was also Yang Bangzi who did not estimate that this Japanese army was a carefully selected Japanese officer and soldier from top to bottom, and he thought that the devil's rear guard troops were some auxiliary troops that were easier to eat, so he did not use the main force, he put the 20th Regiment in the northernmost part to block the devil's way, and the 17th Regiment rested in the sheepfold ditch, and went north along the starry night on the west bank of the Tang River, avoiding the devil's rear guard and grabbing Longmen Village. Holding the devil's waist here, the eighteenth regiment was placed in the southwest ravine of Gyro Peak as a reserve, preparing to assault from the devil's flank for the final annihilation war.
The rearguard force that followed and besieged the small number of the devils was the teaching brigade, the militia of more than a dozen villages and several local guerrilla units, numbering more than 1,000 people.
The location of the ambush was only set the day before, and Yang Bangzi didn't expect the devil who set off from the horse post and shrank together like a hedgehog to break through. The formation suddenly changed, from a diamond-shaped lump to a mallet-shaped. That's why he temporarily changed his plan and asked the teaching brigade to immediately insert himself into the valley between Dushan Chengzi and Longmen Village to ambush the devil's rearguard troops.
Gao Yufeng and the teaching brigade arrived at Dushan Chengzi two hours earlier than the devils, and after they temporarily built positions on both sides of the valley, the front troops of the devils came, and the devils and mules and horses of the black and suppressed brigade passed through the dry river beach, and the dust raised by the march flew up several feet!
When more than 2,000 devils passed, and there were no devils behind him for half a day, Gao Yufeng thought that he had missed the opportunity to ambush, and the local comrades only learned that hundreds of devils and more than 100 mules and horses had arrived in Dushan City!
Gao Yufeng still thinks he is sure of dealing with hundreds of people, after more than a month of fighting, there are still more than 700 people left in his teaching brigade, the weapons and equipment have been replaced by a group of new guys who have captured devils, and the ammunition is also fully supplied, each soldier is eighty rounds of bullets, not to mention ambushes, and he is not afraid of little devils in a blocking battle!
Besides, there are thousands of militias and guerrillas, but they are not dry food, and the militia is no worse than the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and there are more ghosts than the Eighth Route Army! The earthen cannons and poles under the earth cliff were pressed by them, and they were all camouflaged with basil seeds or something, and the mines were also buried by them, all of them were pull line mines, and one line carried seven or eight mines, and it was a plum blossom array all over the place on the dry river beach!
As soon as the mines sounded, the earth cannons rang out, several rows of guns went down, and the machine guns burst out, seeing that the devil's mule and horse team was scattered, and the devil soldiers were also a gang in the east and a gang in the west, Gao Yufeng ordered to blow the trumpet of the charge, preparing to take down the devil's rear guard in one fell swoop!
But when the soldiers rushed down from the terraces on both sides, when the militia and guerrillas pressed up from Dushan City, the devils who had just been in chaos seemed to wake up all of a sudden, and the gangs of devils who were scattered by the sudden attack gathered together and began to fight back on the spot!
Don't look at the devil's rear guard troops, the light and heavy machine gun firepower is also quite ferocious, the bullet impact point is quite accurate, the rifle shooting is also accurate and ruthless, the grenadier and small cannon in the medium and long distance to the eight-way impact route to block the shooting, far, middle and near three layers of cooperation is really professional!
Gao Yufeng underestimated the enemy! He thinks that there are dozens of mines and dozens of big poles and earth cannons, and that the rearguard troops that used to be composed of two devils have no combat effectiveness, and once they are bombed, they are in a mess, and as soon as our people rush down, the devils will basically be defeated, and it will be a little hard to chase and kill.
But I didn't expect the troops to rush down, and they encountered a fierce counterattack by the devil's firepower! The bullets and shells fired from the river beach immediately knocked down more than ten soldiers of the teaching brigade who rushed down from the terraces on both sides, and the soldiers still rushed forward desperately, but the devil's firepower was too fierce, and the soldiers lay down on the hillside one after another, and shot at the devil on the spot!
The local armed forces that pressed up from the side of Dushan City were also suppressed by the firepower of the devils, and they were using the ditches and stones on the river to get closer to the devils, but the local armed forces did not have machine guns or anything, and they advanced against the dense bullets and rain of the devils, and the casualties were not small!
Gao Yufeng had no choice but to order a suspension of the attack, and all troops organized defense on the spot to eliminate the devils with accurate shooting! The battle has suddenly fallen into a stalemate, and it is not good for the teaching brigade to continue like this, the valley in the north has already started, and this devil cannot be solved as soon as possible, and the front is also uneasy!
At the moment of emergency, Gao Yufeng ordered the second and third detachments to disperse from the east and west, cover each other in squads, and with the support of the only two mortars, move closer to the river beach, and press the devil's fire to block the distance, he took a detachment to prepare to detour back to the north and kill along the front of the river beach!
Just as he was leading a detachment to prepare to make a detour north along the slope, the devil cluster in the river beach took the lead! After talking to the lieutenant commander of Qing Shui, he knew that the vanguard of the wing was now also blocked in the valley of Nandaozuizi, and that there was a third force of the Eighth Route between his rear guard unit and the wing headquarters, and the adjutant chief decided to go north, without delay, he was going to take the rearguard troops to rush through the third army of the Eighth Road!
The devils fought and walked along the river beach, and Gao Yufeng on the hillside also saw it, and guessed that the devil's army was designated to join the main force they were surrounded, he didn't expect that this devil's combat effectiveness was quite fierce, but now this devil must be blocked, no matter how fierce the devil is, he has to teach the brigade to go up and block them!
Longmen Village is called a village, in fact, there are only eight households, the village is on the small slope of Longmen Mountain, and the Tang River water rushes out of the narrow channel of Longmen Mountain, and then goes around this small hill in Longmen Village for half a circle and goes down to Dushan City.
It was at the foot of this small hill that a detachment of the teaching brigade collided with the devil's rearguard unit! A detachment ran over from the mountain beam and slipped down the hillside, and planned to trap the devils in the river beach, but I didn't expect these devils to even want mules and horses, and they ran really fast, almost at the same time as the detachment arrived at the bottom of the slope of Longmen Village!
The two forces collided almost suddenly, one detachment slid down the hillside, the devil jumped out of the river beach, and no one saw anyone across the bend of the river! Without saying a word, the gun caught fire while running, and the bayonet was handed to him! Both sides are the same, whoever is quick will live, and whoever hesitates will lie down!
