Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 86 Kill them
Shi Xianggong Temple, 58th Division Headquarters.
"Master, you must get out of here immediately!" Yu Jianmin was already in a hurry.
No one knows where this Japanese army came from, and how it got here through the positions of the regiments, but now the guard battalion is far away on the west bank of the Dijing River, and the 19th Brigade, which is closest to the division headquarters, is also several miles away.
"Master, hurry up, it's too dangerous here!"
"Which teacher's seat, if you don't leave, it's too late."
Zhang Jingming, He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang also stepped forward to persuade each other.
"What's the panic?" Feng Shengfa glared at Yu Jianmin and said, "Listening to the gunshots, there are only dozens of people in the small Japan, and it is clear that they are here to harass and sneak attack, although the division headquarters is only less than 500 meters away from the artillery position, but since the Japanese army has been exposed, it will never come here again, and immediately notify the 19th Brigade and copy the back road of this group of Japanese soldiers for me." ”
Yu Jianmin had no choice but to turn around and walk out of the division headquarters and arrange for the heralds to convey the military orders to the 19th Brigade.
Zhang Jingming looked at He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang helplessly, and they were helpless, but deep down they still admired Feng Shengfa's fearlessness, and there were many senior generals in the Central Army who shouted that they wanted to live and die with the position, but there were still few who could be consistent with their words and deeds, and more were runaway generals like Sun Yuanliang, greedy for life and afraid of death.

However, Feng Shengfa obviously underestimated this group of Japanese soldiers, Feng Shengfa originally thought that the artillery battalion had an infantry company, even if it could not defeat the Japanese troops who came to sneak attack, at least it could hold out until the 19th Brigade arrived, and as soon as the 19th Brigade arrived, this group of Japanese troops could only be captured, however, the truth was much beyond his imagination.
Under the onslaught of this group of Japanese troops, the artillery battalion only held out for less than five minutes!
In less than five minutes, the infantry company under the command of the artillery battalion completely collapsed, except for the southwest direction with its back to the division headquarters, Japanese soldiers appeared in all other directions, although the number of these Japanese soldiers was small, but they were all armed with submachine guns, and the fire was fierce, and they were in small groups of three, alternately covering and advancing one by one, and the tactical coordination was very skillful.
The infantry company commander with more than a dozen remnants of the army fought back to the death, and was soon stacked to the ground by the Japanese army in a short spot, and the dozen remnants behind him were all killed, and the Japanese army soon broke into the artillery position, charging all the way and throwing grenades all the way, which soon caused the shells to detonate, and in the violent explosion, several mountain guns turned into steel parts all over the sky.
"Cannon, my cannon!" Grevi was like a beloved child who had been killed, and suddenly fell into hysterical madness, picked up a cannonball, slammed it on the base of the mountain cannon with a primer, and then rushed to the Japanese soldiers rushing forward with the cannonball that had already fired the primer, while roaring, "Little devil, grandpa fought with you!" ”
A Japanese soldier turned around indifferently and indifferently fired a short shot at Grevi, two blood flowers bloomed in Grevi's chest, and his forward pace suddenly stagnated, and then he fell straight to the ground, and in the next moment, the cannonball exploded, and Grevi was blown up in an instant, and the Japanese soldier was also killed on the spot.
Lin Taro carried a saber on his shoulder, and looked coldly at the position of gunpowder, at this time the artillery position of the Chinese army had been completely shrouded in the smoke of ammunition explosion, and as far as the eye could see, in addition to the thick smoke of gunpowder, there were only clusters of fire, and the dozen or so Bufus mountain guns on the position had already been blown into more than a dozen piles of scrap metal.
A Japanese second lieutenant hurriedly ran to Lin Taro and reported: "Captain, a suspicious target has been found in the southwest direction, which is suspected to be the headquarters, and in addition, there is a branch of the Shina Army approaching in the southeast direction, with about a battalion of troops. ”
"Command?" Lin Taro frowned, and then said with relief, "That's probably the headquarters of the Chinese artillery, and now that all the artillery has been blown up, it's no longer worth the risk of just one artillery headquarters." After saying this, Lin Taro added, "Order, each combat group alternates cover and withdraw from the battle." ”
"Hello." The Japanese second lieutenant hurriedly took the order.
In less than 10 minutes, more than 20 little devils once again disappeared into the boundless night, but the position of the artillery battalion was already a mess, and from time to time there were shells that exploded, and in the thick smoke of gunpowder, a dazzling red light rose again.

When Xu 19 arrived with the 19th Brigade, the Japanese army had already left.
Looking at the artillery battalion position filled with gunsmoke, Xu Shijiu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, how haode an artillery battalion actually wiped out Little Japan in less than ten minutes?
"Chase, the little Japan of the dog day can't run far!" Xu 19 led his soldiers to follow the clues left by the Japanese army, but he knew very well in his heart that since the Japanese army had disengaged, it was basically impossible to catch them again, because this was obviously not an ordinary Japanese army, but should be a Japanese special force.

"What do you say? The artillery battalion is finished?! Feng Shengfa, who received the news, was also dumbfounded.
Zhang Jingming, He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang also couldn't believe their ears, an artillery battalion, only ten minutes before and after, actually let the Japanese army be wiped out? How is this possible? Could it be that these dozens of small Japan are all heavenly soldiers and generals, and hundreds of people in the artillery battalion are lined up for them to kill, and I am afraid that they will not be able to kill them in ten minutes, right?
Yu Jianmin also doesn't believe it, but this is an ironclad fact!
"Division, the artillery battalion is indeed finished." Yu Jianmin lowered his head and said gloomily, "Except for Wu Jie's 1st Mortar Company, which happened to be at the 19th Brigade Station to exchange experience, the rest of the officers and soldiers from the battalion commander Grevi and more than 300 people were all martyred, and all the Bufus mountain artillery, mortars, and the infantry artillery that had just been captured were also destroyed. ”
Zhang Jingming, He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang's faces turned pale, and this was a big loss.
Feng Shengfa was also furious at this moment, slapped the table and shouted: "Pass my order, the 19th Brigade will bite this group of Japanese soldiers for me, the 343rd Regiment and the 347th Regiment will block from the front, and the little Japan will become rats, and they must not be allowed to escape the Dijing River, kill them, kill them for me!" ”

At nightfall, the 19th Brigade had just eliminated a few Japanese soldiers behind the palace.
This group of Japanese troops is indeed not simple, a three-person team with a small river blocked the entire 19th brigade, Xu 19 organized several charges were beaten back, and more than a dozen people were killed, fortunately, Hu Jie's mortar company quickly came up, and only two shells killed the three Japanese soldiers.
However, after such a delay, the main force of the Japanese army has already gone far.
If you chase after Little Japan's buttocks, you will definitely not be able to catch up, Xu Shijiu forced the officers and soldiers who asked for pursuit, and his brain began to move rapidly.
After a while, Xu Shijiu thought of a key point - the stone bridge in the west of Luodian Town!
The Dijing River flows from north to south on the west side of Luodian Town, almost becoming a natural dividing line between the Chinese and Japanese armies in the past few days, and the stone bridge in the west of the town is currently the only passage connecting the east and west banks, and it is now controlled by the Japanese army.
However, just now the Japanese army was heading to the north, maybe the Japanese army had another retreat route, maybe the Japanese army that had infiltrated there had several small troops, they were going to assemble at a certain point in the north, and then retreat together through the stone bridge, Xu Shijiu was not sure what the Japanese army would do next, but he had no other choice.
At this point, only a dead horse can be regarded as a live horse doctor, Xu 19 gave an order, and more than 600 officers and soldiers took advantage of the night to turn around and pounce on the stone bridge in the west of the town.
##########
When Lin Taro arrived at the assembly site with Team 1, Team 2 and Team 3 had already arrived first, and these two teams naturally pounced.
After the convergence, the Japanese troops quickly withdrew along the original route to Luodian.
Lin Taro systematically studied special operations at the Berlin Military Academy, and before setting off, he formulated a detailed interspersed route for the special operations brigade according to the defense map of the national army provided by the aviation scouts.
Lin Taro's interspersed curves are basically drawn between the defense areas of the regiments and battalions of the 58th Division, and their whereabouts are also erratic, one will go north, one will face east, and one will go south, so that the 343rd Regiment and 347th Regiment at the front line will not be able to discern the exact intentions of the Japanese army at all, and they will not be able to organize an effective blockade, so they can only fight indiscriminately.
There was no accident, the Japanese army easily passed through the gap between the 343 regiment and the 347 regiment, and then went straight to the stone bridge west of Luodian Town.
However, Lin Taro never expected that a Chinese had already calculated his retreat and was already waiting for him in front with soldiers.

Shi Xianggong Temple, 58th Division Headquarters.
Feng Shengfa was pacing back and forth in the war room with his hands behind his back, and his face was gloomy and frightening, and the deputy division commander Zhang Jingming and the two brigade commanders were standing next to him, also with solemn expressions.
This time, the 58th Division was embarrassed, and a defense area of nearly 10,000 people in a division actually made a small group of Japanese troops feel like no one was in a no-man's land, and in one fell swoop they eliminated the artillery battalion, not to mention that even the division headquarters was also boiled in a pot, if this small group of Japanese troops escaped back, then their 58th Division should become a joke in the entire three theaters.
The forward command of the 343rd Regiment and the 347th Regiment have been connected to the telephone, but there is some bad news reported on the phone, this one said that the Japanese army was not blocked, and the other said that the Japanese army was not found, and it became a pot of porridge.
There is also Xu Nineteen's Nineteenth Brigade, which suddenly disappeared.
"This Xu Nineteen, where did he go?" Feng Shengfa was indignant in his heart.
Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the war room, and the figure flashed, and the communication staff officer had already walked in quickly, and before he could salute, he reported to Feng Shengfa: "Master's seat, blocked!" ”
"Huh?" Feng Shengfa Huo Ran paused and turned around.
Zhang Jingming, He Lingxiao and Wu Jiguang next to him also turned their heads abruptly.
The communications staff officer took a breath and said in an accentuated tone: "The 19th Brigade has just sent back the news, they have blocked this Japanese army at the Shiqiao bridgehead west of Luodian Town, but this Japanese army is indeed not simple, the 19th Brigade originally wanted to fight an ambush, but the result was unsuccessful, and the Japanese army in Luodian has come out to respond, and the 19th Brigade has suffered from the enemy on its back and is not good at handling the mirror." ”
"It's good to block it!" Feng Shengfa's eyes flashed with vigour, and then he strode to the table, picked up a pencil and drew a circle on the map, and said in a deep voice, "Inform Yu Jianmin that the guard battalion will hold back the Japanese army in Luodian at all costs, and the 343rd and 347th regiments will immediately organize troops, intercept the Japanese army, and kill them for me!" ”
Feng Shengfa also reacted quickly, and weaved a big net in one fell swoop.
"Yes!" The communications staff officer snapped to the ground and hurriedly turned around.
Zhang Jingming breathed a long sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and then said to Feng Shengfa with palpitations: "Master, this group of Japanese soldiers seems to be extremely not simple. ”
"So what?" Feng Shengfa threw the pencil in his hand on the map and said in a deep voice, "On the ground of China, no matter how rampant Little Japan is, I will let him have no return, hum!" ”
