Chapter 199 Digging Holes and Accumulating Grain Section 4 Sound the alarm
After two months of busy work, it's time for the people of the 11th Division to take a breath, Sensei! At the beginning of October, as soon as the autumn grain harvest was completed, the alarm sounded!
According to the intelligence, this time the 1st Division was the first to start the sweep, and the more than 20,000 devils and puppet troops were still the same old routine, and the North pressed the South to attack the 1st Division, but this time it was different from the previous ones, with the action of the 1st Division of the Devil Army that surrounded the Langya Mountain area, there was also a force prepared for Yang Bangzi.
The supreme commander of this unit is called Kuroda Koji, and his military rank is a big lieutenant of the Manchurian and Mongolian army, to put it bluntly, the devil cavalry squadron that was cleaned up by Yang Bangzi in Mapaoquan is the original subordinate of this Kuroda cavalry wing.
One of his squadrons was wiped out by Tsuchihachi, and Kuroda Osa vomited blood in anger when he received the battle report! His cavalry wing has never lost a battle since it was formed! The only Japanese unit that withdrew in formation during the Battle of Nomenkan was this Kuroda Wing.
This time, the Manchu and Mongolian armies were transferred to cooperate with the sweep of the Eighth Route Base Area in the northwest of Hebei, and Kuroda asked for the task of attacking Yinfang Town urgently, and he even threatened to commit suicide and let the North China Front give him this task to complete, in Kuroda's words, that is, to meet this Yang stick.
On October 4, 7,000 assembled Japanese troops in Laiyuan, Yixian, Mancheng and other places began to attack the area around the main peak of Langya Mountain, and the troops stationed in Fugang did not move, because their task was to hold the north end of the communication line.
Kuroda was in command of a mixed wing this time, with the exception of his cavalry headquarters. A tank brigade and artillery squadron were also strengthened. In total, more than 4,000 people were reached. There is also a regiment of puppet troops accompanying him, and the Japanese puppet army together is more than 6,000 people!
After two hours of resistance, only 11 men of the 25th Regiment of the 1st Division, stationed at Lianggang, withdrew into the mountains west of the road.
Departing from Lianggang at 10 a.m. At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the blocking troops of the 1st Division did not fight hard this time, and withdrew after half an hour, because the sudden attack of this group of devils had already transmitted the news to the 11th Division, and the 1st Division was not worried, and the mountains and mountains on the west side of the road, the cavalry and chariots of the devils could not play a role.
The Kuroda Wing had dinner at Itakura at noon, and at one o'clock they were pulled up by trucks and transferred to Tomioka. At this time, the garrison troops in Fugang began to move to Lianggang and other places. Go and take over the territory laid by Kuroda.
At 2:01 a.m., Kuroda captured Shahe Village and nearby Xingshutai Village, and the people of Lianggang and Itakura moved early and suffered no losses, while Shahe and Xingshutai Villages, I didn't expect the devils to come so quickly, dozens of villagers walked slowly, and were surrounded by Kuroda's cavalry together with twelve militiamen.
The cavalry of the devils drove the militiamen and unarmed villagers who had run out of bullets to the beach of the Shahe River with war horses, and Kuroda's guard cavalry team of more than 60 people began a massacre competition. They let the common people flee in all directions, chased after them on horseback, and with slender swords, they either cut off the heads of the Chinese, or cut them diagonally from the shoulders to the bottom of the body, and cut the people in half!
In less than twenty minutes, one of the last fellows also fell into the cool river water, rolling the sand river water with fine white waves, whimpering and gently rolling a handful of red blood into the waves.
Killing people is not enough, Kuroda Osa took a fancy to the fine sand river beach in this area, and ordered the cavalry team and the baggage team to camp here tonight for a barbecue party, and the convoy and infantry team then planned to attack and advance to the southwest of Heiyaogou, if they succeeded, they would be stationed in Heiyaogou, and wait for the arrival of the headquarters of the joint team headquarters early tomorrow morning, and then attack Yinfang Town together.
What's the barbecue? It's not beef and mutton and grilled fish fillets, or dozens of Chinese who have just been slaughtered by them, they are disemboweled and washed by the river, and the meat is cut off piece by piece, grilled and eaten! This is a bunch of man-eating brutes!
This is a well-known tradition of the Kuroda Wing, which is eaten with the corpses of enemies slaughtered by himself, barbecued meat, and Kuroda also said that it is to inspire the courage of his subordinates in battle!
This scene was seen by several militiamen who were lucky enough to escape from danger on the nearby mountains, and they had no choice but to turn their backs and copy the trail over the mountains and mountains to the 11th Division to report the news of the devil's arrival.
Yang Bangzi, who has been busy for more than two months, has also lost a lot of weight, the two cheeks have become obvious pits, the beard can't be shaved, the hair can't be taken care of, and the body has not taken a bath for many days, and the body smells! Alas, people who don't have wives are much sloppy.
After the loss of Lianggang, the 1st Sub-district informed the 11th Sub-district by telephone, and during the large-scale military training, Yang Bangzi not only placed the special training camp in the west, but also let the 1st Battalion go out to Yinfang Town, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, as well as the artillery company and cavalry company, all of which were reduced to Chuankou Town, and the alert in the east and southeast was handed over to the local guerrillas.
As soon as he received the call to the police, he breathed a sigh of relief, his heart that had been hanging for more than two months finally let go, no matter how many enemies came than he expected, didn't he finally come!
The battle plan that has been rehearsed countless times has jumped into his mouth without even thinking about it! "Old blind man, you take the second battalion to run forward immediately, march to Xiaochagou in a hurry, and the second battalion takes over the first-line defense of Xiaochagou, big one, you take the cavalry company and reconnaissance company, you must rush to Heiyaogou before evening, and you must hold on until dawn tomorrow! Lao Feng, Lao Gao, you gather with Hong Mei and start to transfer your fellow villagers and institutions according to the original plan! ”
"Section Chief Gao, tell the Telecommunications Section, send a report to the first battalion, and immediately go north along Beitan Village, according to the original plan, go up and down the flower ditch, and go to the north of Xiliushui Village to ambush! Inform the third battalion and set off for Yinfang Town! Be quick! Xiao Liangzi brings a knife! Shave your head and face! ”
This order is not a combat order, Yang Bangzi and the soldiers and the craftsmen who build and sharpen the knives and guns have been fighting together for two months, and this is about to go to the battlefield, so you have to clean up yourself! Not to mention going to the battlefield beautifully, it can't be the same as a flower child.
Xiao Liangzi found the town's head shaving master, shaved a big bald head with a dime of fiat currency, took out a blue and white face, took a bath with two buckets of well water and half a pancreas, changed into a clean military uniform, flew on a war horse, and remembered something before leaving the town, turned to the half of the regiment headquarters that was going to withdraw to Nanmazhuang with Lao Feng, shouted out the dog Danzi, took out a small cloth bag from the shoulder bag, threw it to the dog Danzi, and whispered: "Have a little heart, take care of your Aunt Yang." Only then did he whip the big green horse and run away!
That is, at noon when Kuroda attacked Itakura, Yang Bangzi arrived at Yinfang Town, the first battalion had already gone far along the eastern mountain, the third battalion had already entered the town, and the local cadres and guerrillas were helping the villagers to move in the direction of Xiaochagou.
The commander of the third battalion was a Lisuo man, and after the troops marched rapidly for more than two hours, they did not let the soldiers take a breath, and immediately operated according to the map of the drill many times, and the four companies immediately dispersed, the first company went to the big mound in the north of the town, the second company went to the high ground on the west side, the position of the third company was on the high ground on the west side, and the battalion headquarters and the fourth company also had a heavy machine gun platoon in the town.
After Yang Stick arrived, he saw that the heavy machine gun platoon and the two small mortars of the third battalion were placed in the town, and he was on fire at that time, and shouted at the commander of the third battalion: "You kid is a pig's brain, you don't remember to eat!" How many times have you said it! How many times have you said it! heavy machine gun fire and small artillery are side-fire support fire! You're in town waiting to be bombed! ”
This third battalion commander is the old battalion commander who took over the sacrifice after the Battle of Xiaotiangou, he used to be a company commander, and he has never commanded heavy machine guns and small artillery.
I was kicked by Yang Bangzi and remembered, Yang Bangzi had already confessed, the terrain of Yinfang Town is a bowl, high on all sides, low in the middle, the town is the lowest position, to fight a defensive war, the town can not release more people, don't look at the devil to capture the town, the real battle and the key to determining the victory or defeat of both sides is in the surrounding mountains, so the support firepower and battalion headquarters must be on the surrounding mountains, not in the town.
