Chapter 256: The Battle of Xiaowutai Mountain (2)

The dark night sky outside the tent seemed to be quietly approaching him by some unknown danger, what Badarhu needed most now was time, he didn't think that the devil-like Tang Qiuli was such a stupid person who sat back and watched his troops be wiped out.

Rubbing his drowsy head, he ordered the commander of the Japanese army to send a squadron on each side of the battlefield to reconnoiter and guard the area of five kilometers deep on both flanks to see if there was a large force of an independent division attacking.

Half an hour ago, the first wave of attacking troops easily occupied the positions of the defending troops of the independent division, and the bandits involved in the attack, including the captain of the Japanese army, all celebrated with each other, and fought with the independent division for a day and a night, and they had not occupied the opponent's position so easily.

Every time, they were beaten and bloodied, and they were forced to withdraw from the attack, and how many times they lost hundreds of lives before they occupied the positions abandoned by the other side, and it was really exciting to be so relaxed, does this mean that the troops of the independent division have now reached the point of exhaustion, and have become the end of a strong crossbow, unable to withstand more than 20,000 people, and continue to attack.

Badarhu was not happy, the bandits occupied an empty position, except for a meal of the other party's withdrawal, planted a treacherous mine, lost dozens of lives, nothing was fished, not even a discarded gun, the other side deliberately abandoned the position.

Badarhu walked back and forth in the tent anxiously, like a hungry wolf, more than 20,000 bandits, pinched together by his own coercive means, how much patience and courage these guys still have, seeing the dawn of victory, his heart is really bottomless.

The sudden withdrawal of the 1st Independent Brigade from the blocking position and the rapid departure from the battlefield made Badarhu a little alarmed, and he judged that there must be a unit responsible for receiving it in front, and after a day and a night of continuous fighting, he came to the same conclusion as the bandit leaders that the blocking force of the Independent Division could not withstand such attrition, and had to quickly break away from the battle, in order to hope that the receiving troops would meet up as much as possible and escape the fate of total annihilation.

Since there are receiving troops, in this direction, there are no troops of an independent division, it can only be the troops of Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army, and the strength will not be too much, at most the size of one brigade or two regiments, with the equipment and combat effectiveness of the 29th Army, it is not enough to worry.

It is undeniable that Badarhu is an officer who has gone through the Japanese military academy and studied systematically, and his judgment is completely correct, and the receiving force of the 29th Army is indeed only one brigade of Zhao Dengyu, which can be seen in the early days of the war of aggression against China.

In the tent, the big-eyed bandit leaders watched inexplicably as the Badarhu donkey turned back and forth like a grind, their faces were sunny for a while, cloudy for a while, and their expressions changed uncertainly, and they couldn't figure out what this guy was thinking.

He wandered around for a while, only to notice that the tent was full of bandits with their necks stretched out and staring at him with good eyes, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Badarhu laughed dryly: "Gentlemen, after more than 20 hours of uninterrupted attacks by you and our Imperial Japanese Army, the defending troops of the Independent Division suffered heavy casualties, and they were no longer able to defend the blocking position, so they had to retreat in panic overnight."

He didn't dare to express his judgment, in front, there was a brigade of Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army, which was receiving the escort troops of the independent division, and as soon as he said this, Badarhu was absolutely convinced that the bandit troops, which were already slightly tired, would be able to slip away more than half of the men and horses before dawn.

Now when I heard that the independent division came to help again, it would not be a fart, and the oil on the soles of the feet was a sudden housekeeping ability, thinking of this, Badarhu was annoyed for a while, if he led more than 20,000 soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army, not to mention a small independent division in front of him, it was also very easy to sweep through North China and create a royal paradise for the Japanese Empire.

This expression could not be shown on his face, and he continued: "Gentlemen, our only task now is to take advantage of the fact that the troops of the Independent Division have lost their fighting spirit and courage, to pursue them all night, to pursue, pursue and pursue, and before dawn, bite them tightly and destroy them on the spot. ”

"Those valuable weapons and ammunition are in the pockets of everyone here, with reliable information, these weapons and ammunition are enough to equip a reinforced division, in addition, there are a large number of artillery, light and heavy machine guns and other heavy equipment," Badarhu looked down, he had already whetted his appetite, and the bandit leaders with golden light in front of him nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now I announce an order, that unit shall first pursue the escort troops of the Upper Independent Division, and if it can grab weapons and ammunition, let this unit give priority to the selection of the weapons it needs, and enjoy a quarter of the control over this batch of weapons and ammunition," Badarhu finished speaking, pausing to observe the reaction of the bandit leaders.

This cunning wolf, he accurately grasped the hearts of the bandit leaders, these guys, and the independent division fought day and night, all bandit stocks, have suffered losses, in the case of no change in the battlefield situation, do not get back a little capital, now withdraw, really unwilling, as the saying goes: "thieves do not go empty," not to mention the bandits who are committed to plundering.

Looking at the green eyes of the bandit leaders and their eager expressions, Badarhu once again had a sense of accomplishment in holding the victory and controlling the fate of others, and he knew that his words were to ignite the greedy fire of the bandit leaders, which was equivalent to releasing more than 20,000 howling hungry wolves, enough for the troops of the independent division to drink.

The bandit leaders have another idea, they pay attention to the same, they have been fighting for so long, even if it is a hard walnut, it should be smashed out of a few cracks, and there should be four or five thousand brothers from all walks of life who have fallen, even if two lives are exchanged for one life, the troops of the independent division have also suffered a small half casualties, they are half-beaten tigers, stop at this time, it is not cheap for others, that is a fool?

What's more, there are more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers, that is a hard state of the hand, the Japanese soldiers caught the troops of the independent division, to the death, I don't know how the two sides knotted Liangzi, these weapons and ammunition, is the current ocean of white flowers, after this vote, enough books, Lao Tzu planted the flag and scattered, to Shanghai, Tianjin to enjoy the blessings, but also save this kind of knife head licking blood, there are no days today, maybe that day will be thrown into the wilderness, end up a lonely ghost and a ghost.

Outside the tent, the bandits from all walks of life, shouting and shouting, did not form a formation, and they swarmed and chased in the direction of the retreat of the 1st Independent Brigade, for fear that others would take the lead and put the white flowers into the pockets of others.

Badarhu instructed the three Japanese captains to take advantage of the fact that the bandits and the troops of the independent division were fighting inextricably, and suddenly joined the attack, and all the heavy weapons opened fire together, demanding that the fire attack be covered indiscriminately, and the first round of shooting would cause heavy casualties to the defending troops of the independent division, and as for the life and death of the bandits, it was not in his scope of consideration at all.

These bandits originally played the role of cannon fodder, in order to reduce the casualties of the imperial soldiers, and the three Japanese captains praised again and again, His Excellency Badarhu is clever, and under your command, he will definitely be able to achieve a great victory.

Badarhu's mood was like a long-clouded sky, suddenly the sun was shining, he and the three Japanese captains, the same rank, not to mention that he was still a half-pulled Japanese with impure blood, and several of them thought that every part of his body belonged to the Great Japanese Empire.

But these three captains didn't think so, after being transferred to command Badarhu, these three devils were really depressed for a while, and they were unconvinced, which was on their faces, and after getting along with him for a while, I felt that this guy still had some ghost ideas, until he came up with this vicious plan, these three old devils, I really admired it.

Complimented by the purebred Japanese, Badalhu regards this as more important than his life, and his efforts to do this, including selling his ancestors, are all in order to gain the true recognition of the Japanese, and for this, he spares no expense.

Badarhu bowed deeply to the three Japanese captains, "Gentlemen, please, this battle will definitely greatly increase the military prestige of our Imperial Japanese Army, and create a brilliant record of annihilating nearly 10,000 independent divisions."

The three captains of the Japanese army stood upright together, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency will live up to Your Excellency's high expectations and make meritorious contributions to the Great Japanese Empire" After speaking, the three old devils, murderous and confident in organizing the troops, followed the bandits and went down.

Badarhu put away his headquarters, followed behind the Japanese army, and threw himself into the darkness, which became the end of his life, because he was overconfident and greedy, and crashed headlong into the great net that Tang Qiuli had carefully woven for him and the bandits.

On the east side of the Taihang Mountains, Xiaowutai Mountain is located in the southern mountainous area of Zhuolu in Wei County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, and is adjacent to Beijing Mentougou in the east and Baoding in the south.

It is 60 kilometers long from east to west, 28 kilometers wide from north to south, there are five prominent peaks in the east, north, middle, south and west platforms, because the east platform is the highest peak in Hebei, the height reaches more than 2,800 meters, so the small Wutai mountain has the reputation of "the roof of Hebei".

The structure of the mountain is complex, the veins are staggered, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the difference between the peaks and valleys is as high as a great extent, the north slope of most of the ridges is a fault surface, and the pine and cypress are obliquely born in the middle, and there is no way to find it; The southern slope of the mountain is relatively gentle, and the ridgeline spreads out from northeast to southwest, which is the county boundary between Zhuolu and Wei County, and is also a towering watershed.

This is a natural battlefield, which is convenient for large-scale movement of troops and concealed ambushes.

At two o'clock in the morning, in a mountain valley at the southeast foot of Xiaowutai Mountain, Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 113th Brigade of the 29th Army, anxiously looked at the dark night ahead.

His troops, after several days of rapid marching, finally arrived at the appointed rendezvous point within the allotted time, and were so exhausted that the soldiers lay down on the mountain path after receiving the order to rest.
