Chapter 236: Forced March
"Master Zhang, I always think the other party is a little strange?"
"Humble words, what are you talking about?"
"With the intelligence ability of the Japanese, they will not know that the large army of the Feng army is about to rush over, at this time, as long as the brain is normal, they should take the initiative to shrink their forces and retreat to Jilin to hold on, so that they can hold on for a longer time, but they just do the opposite, and increase the troops, what are the calculations of the Japanese?"
Zhang Haipeng really didn't think about it like this, he thought for a while and said: "I think they want to take advantage of our army to break through our position and enter the hinterland of Fengtian before our army arrives. ”
"That's right, I see it that way, too, but the Japanese are bent on killing Mukden, what the hell do they have in mind? Do they think that with Gao Shifu's gang, they can defeat Mukden? ”
Zhang Haipeng shook his head: "Definitely not, Fengtian is not as strong as Jilin, the army is strong, and the people's hearts are also on our side. ”
"Here's the trouble!" Zhang Tinglan suddenly had a flash of thought in his mind, and then showed a sudden expression, and said to Zhang Haipeng: "What the Japanese actually need is to enter Fengtian!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Haipeng has not yet figured out what is going on.
Zhang Tinglan said: "They want to find an excuse for the direct use of troops, as long as the hinterland of Fengtian is in chaos, don't they have an excuse to use troops, whether it is to protect overseas Chinese or protect the railway, as long as the place is eroded, they will be able to send troops!" ”
Zhang Tinglan thought of this, and also saw through the calculations of the Japanese, saying that their methods were no different from those in southern Liaoning, they were all trying to make things bigger, and then taking the opportunity to put pressure on the Feng army, so as to expand their power in the three eastern provinces. At the same time, it is necessary to suppress the upward momentum of the Feng army.
Zhang Haipeng is not a stupid person, and quickly figured it out: "What the humble words say is very true, this way to deal with the Japanese, there is only a quick battle, and there is no excuse for them to make trouble, we have blocked Gao Shifu, as long as the auxiliary commander's army arrives, Gao Shifu will fall apart, but I am afraid that the wishful thinking of the Japanese will be in vain." ”
"It's not going to be that simple, the Japanese are brainless. But they won't make the same mistake, they have already failed once in southern Liaoning, do they still want to fail once in Gao Shifu? Moreover, the biggest difference between this time and southern Liaoning is that the Japanese themselves went into battle shirtless, and they no longer believe in these places in the northeast. ”
"Excuse me, is that why you've been insisting on keeping the reserves?"
"That's right. We must be prepared for the unexpected. ”
As soon as Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, an intelligence officer sent a message. It is said that a militia saw a force of about 300 people passing through the town of Shanmen. The direction is southwest. And there are militiamen who hear their slogans, and they are muttering, and they are not talking about people.
After getting the news, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly came to the military map, Shanmen Town was east of Siping, and the road led to Shuangmiaozi. It is right on the South Manchurian railway line.
"To put it mildly, are the Japanese preparing to make a detour to raid the South Manchurian Railway?"
"That's right, they must have hit this idea, if they disrupt the South Manchurian Railway. The Japanese garrison can be mobilized to give Gao Shifu strong support, and at that time, our troops will be attracted by the Japanese, don't think about drawing troops to deal with Gao Shifu! ”
The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is by no means comparable to the current Feng army, even if the Japanese do not do it, they can contain the Feng army with three times the strength of the force, drag the Feng army to death, and then they let go of Gao Shifu and Xu Lanzhou to let them control Jilin and Heilongjiang, and the unification of the three eastern provinces will be broken, and they will return to the time of the three-legged tripod.
The three families fought openly and secretly, and the Japanese would be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and profit from it. After seeing through the calculations of the Japanese, not only Zhang Tinglan, but even Zhang Haipeng gasped, and sweat was on the top of his head.
Zhang Tinglan also knew that the Japanese had already used Zuihou's hole cards, and he had to bet on it, so he immediately said: "Master Zhang, it's time to use the reserves, and I'll leave it to you here!" ”
"Don't worry, Siping will never make a mistake!"
"Don't be stingy with troops, mobilize the surrounding militia when necessary, and let them attack the rear road of the Kyrgyzstan army and fight the transport team of the Kyrgyzstan army."
Zhang Haipeng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "This is a good way, we can't just defend, but also make some trouble for Gao Shiwei." ”
After Zhang Tinglan almost explained the task, he mobilized the reserves and quickly moved south, these reserves have been eager to try since the beginning of the war, and some people took the initiative to ask for battle, but the reply they got was to rest in place, which made these soldiers who were eager to make meritorious contributions very disappointed.
Seeing that the wounded soldiers in front of them were constantly sent down, and even the militia were sent up, but they were still watching, and their hearts were anxious, and at this time, the order to fight was finally given.
They were all very excited, Zhang Tinglan gathered the officers above the platoon of the reserve team, and said to them: "Brothers, since the beginning of the war, we have been letting them recuperate, not for you to do it and watch, but for more important tasks to be handed over to you, and there are more ferocious enemies that we need to deal with, do you have the confidence to win!" ”
"Yes! Yes! ”
"Very good, there is now an elite enemy army, detouring from Shanmen Town, wanting to detour behind us, cut off the South Manchurian Railway, and create chaos. I can tell you that these people are the elite soldiers sent by the Japanese, and their purpose is to create chaos, take the opportunity to expand their power in the northeast, and even swallow Mukden in one gulp, and we must thwart their plot, no matter how many sacrifices are paid, you know? ”
"Understood, please rest assured brigade commander!"
Since he began to train recruits, Zhang Tinglan has attached great importance to ideological work, and he does not want to get too many complicated things, and the core of ideological education is four words: Defend the family and defend the country!
From the first day they entered the army, the soldiers knew that the three eastern provinces were occupied by two robbers, who were always thinking about annexing the northeast, and they were insatiable, killing the fathers and elders of the three eastern provinces and plundering the wealth of the black land......
After several months of nurturing, it has a very good effect, these soldiers are all about twenty years old, which is a critical period for a person to mature, and during this period, what they are exposed to can even determine their perspective on the problem for the rest of their lives.
In fact, there is no need for Zhang Tinglan to do too many things, the Japanese have done so much evil over the years, it is almost impossible to count, and you can find a lot of them casually, and after the soldiers have been guided, they soon have a strong sense of hatred for Japan.
With this kind of mental support, these soldiers no longer fear foreigners like other armies, and even to the extent that they fear the enemy like tigers. On the contrary, he was eager to fight, and his morale was very strong, and Zhang Tinglan was also very relieved when he saw that the army's heart was available.
However, Zhang Tinglan did not dare to be careless, he only had one battalion of soldiers, if he wanted to deal with more than 300 heavily armed Japanese soldiers, he had to eliminate them in the fastest time, and he had to guard against reinforcements from the South Manchurian Railway.
"Brothers, everyone speed up, we must rush ahead of the Japanese, reach Guangdingzi Mountain, set up an ambush here, and destroy the Japanese in one fell swoop, and we must use the guns of our pistols to tell those invaders that the Feng army cannot be humiliated, and China cannot be humiliated! Whoever wants to plot an inch of China's land will have to pay the price of blood! ”
Zhang Tinglan constantly encouraged the soldiers, so that everyone maintained the fastest marching speed, he was very clear about the situation in front of him, Guangdingzi Mountain is just the necessary place to pass through the detour from Shanmen Town, the terrain is dangerous, very suitable for ambush, and there is a more important advantage here, that is, it is outside the Manchurian Iron Annex.
That is to say, the Japanese shili can't reach here yet, and if you solve this group of Japanese soldiers here, you won't be honest, and the Japanese don't want to find an excuse to send troops to interfere, you must know that at this time, these guys are still wearing the military uniforms of the Ji army, even if they are killed by the Feng army, they will die in vain!
Zhang Tinglan kept beckoning the soldiers to speed up, their distance from Guangdingzi Mountain was about eighty miles, and the Japanese from Shanmen Town to Guangdingzi Mountain was about one hundred and ten miles, but the Japanese acted first, and the Feng army did not have much advantage, that is to say, in order to be able to ambush successfully, the speed of the Feng army must far exceed that of the Japanese.
Otherwise, the ambush war will become an encounter battle, and it may even be impossible to ambush and be seized by the Japanese, so the victory or defeat of this battle will be decided on a pair of soldiers' feet.
Zhang Tinglan selected the first company to open the road, most of these soldiers were recruited from the Changbai Mountain area, their ancestors have been on the authentic road for generations, they have traveled through the mountains and mountains since they were children, and sometimes in order to sell mountain goods, they have to walk hundreds of miles a day, which is almost the limit for an ordinary person.
After the children of these mountain people entered the Feng army, they underwent strict training, coupled with the improvement of nutrition, their physical fitness has improved considerably, which is also a prerequisite for Zhang Tinglan to dare to fight with the Japanese.
"Your task is to act as the vanguard of the whole battalion, rush to Guangdingzi Mountain as quickly as possible, choose a suitable position, and carry out an ambush!"
Zhang Tinglan's order echoed in the ears of the company commander Zhou Zijian, more than half a year ago, Zhou Zijian was almost kicked out of the ranks of the Feng army, but now he has grown quite rapidly and has become a company commander, and Zhang Tinglan is ready to send him to the lecture hall to get valuable learning opportunities.
Zhou Zijian was very resolute in carrying out the task, and the battle was also very brave, in the face of the upcoming opponent, they were not afraid, after less than five hours of forced march, the soldiers were exhausted to the extreme, sweat soaked military uniforms, but Guangdingzi Mountain was finally in sight. And before the Japanese arrived, the soldiers of the Feng army were suddenly shaken, and they began to lay a net regardless of fatigue! (To be continued......)
