Chapter 220 Let's Go Section 2 Differential Treatment
It is understandable that Fan Daring is digging a position on the other side of the river, in fact, it is a river valley, from the platform in the east to the foot of the mountain on the other side of the river, it is only a few hundred meters, if the devil wants to use heavy machine guns and grenadiers and other firepower to suppress the platform, the elevation angle on the east side of the river is too high, it will not work, and only by opening a certain distance can the infantry provide fire support.
It looks like the devil is going to storm the mesa! Fan boldly asked the herald to go down and inform the company commander at the entrance of Qimutai Village, ready to meet the enemy, the herald has not yet gone down to the village entrance, and the ghost soldiers of the brigade have already shown their heads at the mouth of the river valley in the south!
Sure enough, more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns on the opposite bank opened fire together, hitting the edge of the platform, and the grenadiers were blocking and shooting at the platform.
The soldiers on the edge of the platform pushed away the still hot stone slabs one after another, and quickly entered the first-line position in the scorching and foul-smelling air, and the soldiers on the second-line position also flashed into the position in an orderly manner from the hidden place at the entrance of the village.
Weird! Fan Daring was about to go down to the entrance of the village, and just as he was about to get up, he found that the devil soldiers who had reached the foot of the mountain did not start to climb the hillside, on the contrary, in addition to the group of devils lined up along the foot of the mountain, there were no less than two squadrons of devils who actually crossed the river beach under the platform and went directly to the north!
Not good! Fan Daring was shocked in his heart, is the devil going to take a detour from the north side? But after thinking about it, no, after the river turns north, both sides of the river are steep cliffs, and it is impossible to detour back to the side of Qimutai for two or three hours, not to mention that there is a deep ditch between this side of Qimutai and the mountains in the north. It's miles long. Even on the hill to the north. If you want to go to Qimutai in the ditch, you have to work hard!
Fan Daring didn't rush down, he wanted to see what the devil wanted to do for a while. After another ten minutes, the devils under the mountain still had no intention of climbing, and the large group of devil soldiers who went north basically entered the river valley.
At this moment, the devil's small-caliber artillery at the mouth of the valley "Knock knock!" "The fire was fired, and together with the heavy machine guns and grenadiers on the other side of the river, all at once the seven acres of Taiwan were wrapped in a rain of smoke and bullets! Fan who is halfway up the mountain can see it clearly! With the help of artillery fire, a large group of mules and horses rushed out from the mouth of the valley at once!
It was immediately understood. The devil's painstaking fortifications on the other side of the bank were not at all to provide fire support to the soldiers attacking the platform! This is to cover the retreat of the fortifications!
Rushed out was the baggage team of the special operations wing, as well as the mules and horses of the artillery team, escorted by a large group of soldiers, turned north at the fastest speed, and many soldiers of the special training camp on the platform discovered the devil brigade under the mountain and took the initiative to fire and intercept it, but as soon as the shot was fired, it immediately attracted the retaliation of the devil's heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns, and the suppressed ones could not fire at all.
Only the machine gun team on the second-line position can condescendingly sweep a few long point shots, but they also can't hit a few point shots, and they will be targeted by the devil's suppressive firepower. Bullets are coming! In less than five minutes, several foreshooters and sub-scorers were sacrificed.
Did the devil do it unintentionally or did he do it on purpose? Fan Daring couldn't judge, he could only do his best to stop the devil. He ran to the valley on the north side and ordered four mortars to hit all the shells on the river beach under the platform!
As soon as the mortars on the Eighth Road side fired, it was also the ghost brigade on the river beach that was being blown up and turned on their backs! It's a pity that there are not many shells, if this is enough, then it will not be dozens of devil soldiers and a dozen mules and horses that will fall on the river beach!
Seeing the devils passing through the valley in groups, crossing the river beach, and entering the river valley to the north, the soldiers were in a hurry, and some of them were in a hurry to rush down! Fan Daring ordered in time, don't attack, the blockade firepower of the devils under the mountain is too fierce, it is pointless to go down and die one by one!
The last devils to withdraw were the troops guarding the positions at the foot of the mountain and on the opposite bank, and they withdrew while fighting, and they didn't even deal with the dead bodies on the river beach, and hurriedly chased the brigade in front. Fan boldly looked at his watch, eleven twenty, forty minutes away from the task time set by Yang Bangzi to stick to twelve o'clock.
To be bold is to be bold, but not to be foolish! If you fight hard to go down and play with the devils, let alone a company, the whole battalion will not be able to stop the devils.
contacted Yang Bangzi and reported the situation on Qimu Station, and Yang Bangzi didn't say anything on the radio, so he told Fan Daring to gather the troops, just follow the devils, use more tail pulling tactics, and don't let the devils be idle.
What will Yang Bangzi do? He led more than 1,000 people from the 20th Regiment to sleep in Kawaguchi Town! As soon as the devil broke through from the Longwang Temple to the north, he transferred the 20th Regiment to Chuankou Town along the eastern foot of Damao Mountain, since the devil did not go to the military camp town, there was no need to put the 20th Regiment in a position where he could obliquely grab the front of the devil to the Tongtian River.
The great transfer of the whole division has been deployed, and there is no need for him to worry about it, the most important thing at present is to quickly restore the combat effectiveness of his 20 regiments!
If you want to restore your combat effectiveness, physical fitness comes first, in addition to eating and sleeping, these two things are the most effective! Yang Bangzi told the logistics minister that all the treasury bases were not allowed to be kept, and all of them were taken out to supplement the physical fitness of the soldiers, and he actually implemented the system of sleeping casually, and the cooking squad of each battalion and company must leave a person on duty to ensure that there are people cooking in the room 24 hours a day, and the soldiers do not have a specified time for sleeping. When I wake up, I go to the room to eat, and after eating, I go back to the house and go to sleep!
At the same time, Yang Bangzi also added more than 400 guerrillas drawn from the Yilai Guerrilla Brigade and the Mancheng Guerrilla Brigade to the Third Battalion, which was most lacking in personnel, and in addition, on the ruins of Yinfang Town, more than 1,000 local militia backbones who had been transferred to participate in the fight against the Heitian Wing formed a training team, and arranged for the Operations Section to go to the centralized training as a reserve unit.
To put it bluntly, it is to let Fan Daring and Gao Yufeng take people to lead the devil's nose to grind in the mountains, where the devil likes to go, anyway, everywhere he goes, there are empty mountains and empty villages, Yang Bangzi knows in his heart, this devil completely depends on the supply in the air. It is impossible to gain a foothold in his turf for long. Huo Huo is enough, and it's time to find a way to run. That's when he will make a move, and the most important thing will be to bring his soldiers back to life.
The attitude towards the Shimizu Wing and the Kuroda Wing is different, the Kuroda Wing is open to the position, the aircraft, artillery, tanks, cavalry and infantry are mixed together to kill, along the highway line, and there are troops guarding the highway line to follow up, this is the main who does not want to go if he stands still, then Yang Stick can't take people up the mountain to fight guerrillas. If you go to fight guerrilla warfare for five years, the Kuroda Wing, which is supplemented by road lines, will not leave this mountainous area.
Therefore, Yang Bangzi must devote all his resources to cut off the communication lines of the Heitian Wing, cripple his artillery and combat convoy, and use the tactics of night raids and parallel pursuits to defeat and exhaust the Heitian Wing, so that they will be afraid and dare not dream of occupying Yinfang Town for a long time, and even say that they will not dare to step into the mountains of northwest Hebei for half a step in their lifetime, which is the purpose of Yang Bangzi.
Of course, the price to be paid by the 11th Division and Yang Bangzi is also huge. After all, it was a large mixed wing of seven or eight thousand people, and it destroyed 10,000 enemies and lost 3,000 of itself. More than that, Yang Bangzi originally estimated that it would take at least a year for the vitality of his partition to recover.
This is also a sleepy horse and a lack of repairs when the old enemy came to take advantage of the fire and robbed again, unlike the all-out deal with the Kuroda United, Yang Bangzi treated Qing Shui differently, he expected that this old enemy must be running for him, to take revenge, so he rushed to touch Nanmazhuang, and now he suddenly returned to the north, so he was even more sure that this was not to find him Yang Bangzi will not give up the posture.
With the current strength of the 11th Division, it can also fight with the Qingshui United, but in that case, the entire 11th Division will have to fight for the light, and Yang Bangzi will have to lose all of his family foundation, so is it difficult for him Yang Bangzi to become a light pole commander?
So Yang Stick decided to drag! Drag on time! Drag the space! Drag patience! Drag your heart! The more you Qingshui want to find me, I won't find it for you, and I have to always give you Qingshui some hope, for example, after receiving Fan Daring's report, Yang Bangzi was moved, and ordered the communication department to carry a radio station and ride a horse to quickly rush to the horse post, set up the antenna and power on frequently!
Sure enough, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Qing Shui Dazuo, who had already arrived at Wayaogou, learned that there was a radio station that frequently and intensively sent out telegrams, and judged that this must be the location of Yang Bangzi's headquarters, and at this time his wing also walked out of the narrow river valley and entered the mountainous impact plain at the confluence of the two rivers, not far from the Zoumayi, only ten miles away.
Ignoring the soldiers' more than ten hours of continuous marching and fighting, he ordered the forced march to kill the horse post as fast as possible! However, in Nanchengzi and Beichengzi villages, which are three miles away from Wayaogou, the front troops were fiercely counterattacked, and according to battlefield observations, they were also the regular troops of the Eighth Road!
This is Gao Yufeng's teaching brigade and the divisional temporary combat brigade, the word temporary should also be removed, Yang Bangzi has officially ordered this temporary combat brigade to merge with the teaching brigade, temporarily commanded by Gao Yufeng, the task is to resist layer by layer from Nanchengzi to the first line of the horse post!
As if he smelled the breath of Yang Bangzi, the enemy, the bloodshot eyes of the clear water that had not closed his eyes for a day and a night were full of murderous aura, and he ordered the troops to rush towards the horse post with all their might! The artillery must be able to deploy on the march, provide artillery support, and the rear team can protect the flanks and back at any time, and the entire Qingshui Wing will be like a chicken's blood, turning into a fierce beast and rushing towards the horse post!
The teaching brigade attacked the villages and hills on the plains along the wide mountainous terrain, resisted step by step, and after inflicting casualties on the enemy with mines and grenades, it flexibly moved to the next ambush position.
Nantaizi, Miaogoumen, Shangzhuang, and the villages leading to Zoumayi Town are not easy to occupy, and the eight roads are also strange, before that was a village of devils, it was an empty village, except for mines, there were no people, and now there are guns in villages and villages, and every household has bayonets!
After losing nearly 300 soldiers, at seven o'clock after dark at noon, Qing Shui saw Zoumayi Town on the hill! The north-south Zoumayi Town is a big town, unlike those small villages with a dozen or so households, but a town with hundreds of households!
Shimizu Dazuo estimated that he would encounter fierce resistance from the Eighth Road, because according to the report of the listening brigade in Laiyuan, it was said that the radio station that frequently sent out reports was still here in the horse post! If the radio station is there, Yang Stick is there, he is there, and the eight roads around him are indispensable, and he must be ready to fight brutal street battles!
The artillery was in place, the troops were scattered on three sides, the infantry went up, the cavalry was on standby, Qing Shui deliberately kept this cavalry squad, that is, after surrounding the three missing for a while, if Yang Bangzi fled north, he sent this cavalry squadron to catch up, and unexpectedly captured Yang Bangzi!
