Chapter 261: The Battle of Xiaowutai Mountain (7)
The retreat plan formulated by Badarhu is indeed perfect, he is using these bandits to disrupt the position of the independent division and consume the bullets of the independent division, while the Japanese army can leave the battlefield safely with minimal losses, he is sure of his own judgment, Tang Qiuli knows that there are thousands of Japanese troops in this gang of bandits, and the independent division will fight to the death at any cost, judging from their appearance in the northeast, this is their consistent style.
According to his observations, the troops of the independent division chasing behind were the weakest, and that should be the only weakness, he would encourage several of the strongest bandits to attack in the opposite direction, and Tang Qiuli would not expect that he would retreat from the opposite direction.
These bandits are the only opportunity to take advantage of and get out safely, and these officers of the Great Japanese Empire, who have not yet realized the severity of the situation, are very dissatisfied with Badarhu's plan, and the dignified Imperial Army of Japan, with a strength of several thousand people, actually let the bandits take the lead, shrinking behind like turtles, and resolutely refusing to agree.
Also, in the past hundred years, when have the Japanese taken a straight look at the Chinese, from the Sino-Japanese War to the present, the army of the Great Japanese Empire, on the territory of China, invincible, invincible, such an arrangement of Badar Hujun is a shame for the emperor ** people, an insult to the imperial samurai, our resolute disagreement, if you retreat, it is okay, the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, must take the lead.
Badarhu almost begged these officers to do this in order to better serve the Japanese Empire in the future, and there was no need to expend his strength in this unknown ravine, our battlefield, and the broader land of China.
He had to do this, if he didn't convince these arrogant soldiers, it was still unknown whether his plan could be carried out smoothly, maybe that officer, on a whim, would lead the soldiers and rush to the defensive position of the independent division first, that is, he would kill himself, and he could bring the remaining imperial soldiers back safely, and he would have an explanation in front of His Excellency the commander.
Later, these Japanese officers reluctantly agreed, and proceeded according to Badalhu's plan, and in order to convince these guys who did not know that independence was powerful, Badalhu spent nearly an hour of hard work, and this waste was fatal at the moment when time was most precious to him.
Subsequently, Badarhu ordered all the bandit leaders to be summoned to the headquarters for a meeting, and the bandit leaders, who had been hanging their heads and drooping their heads, no longer had the courage and confidence to take advantage of the battle at night.
Many people still have luck in their hearts, they don't have an idea, just look at what the Japanese do, these bandits, are experienced guys, it can be seen that the Japanese have enemies with these soldiers, we just want goods, the Japanese want life.
Listening to Badarhu say this, he was all fried at that time, tired and tired, carrying his head to do this business, not saying anything, and he ** took in a lot of brothers, you said a word to break up the gang?
If you hadn't stood up, we might have stopped a long time ago, how could there be anything later, no, you and he wanted to slip away after the seedlings, and dared to be protected by the Japanese, these soldiers didn't dare to trouble you, and they didn't spill all their anger on us? In the future, on this ground, will there be any confusion?
There are a few confident and hard bandit leaders under their hands, they simply stood up, scolded and scolded, surnamed Ba, you and he said it clearly, what should I do about this? You have to give an explanation to the big guys, and the brothers are also desperate, and the losses are obvious
Why don't you have to pay some compensation? Otherwise, everyone can't explain to the brothers who are desperately following us, brothers, do you say yes, these bandit leaders have a roaring response.
Badarhu was a little confused, he just played his own calculations, forgetting that the bandits are typical pragmatists, they don't believe in tomorrow's dumplings, they only believe that the nest in their hands can withstand hunger, in their own words, what is eaten in the mouth is the meat, and the money that is put in the pocket, Badarhu's empty checks, can these fierce bandits rest assured?
Those Japanese officers, seeing that Badarhu was deflated, couldn't hang up, after all, it was a half-pulled compatriot, and at the critical moment, they had to stretch out their hands to pull a handful, several Japanese officers jumped up, drew their command knives, and shouted and cursed loudly in their mouths, which means that you pigs, if you don't listen to the commander's orders, you will die.
The bandit leaders didn't understand either, anyway, they knew that it wasn't a good thing, and the faces of the Japanese couldn't be seen? Besides, the knife and gun dancer, the meaning is clear, it is unlucky to suffer a loss, and there is no money for a dime, these bandit leaders are annoyed, the losses of the past few days, coupled with despair, the ferocity of the bandits has also been stimulated.
Since he tore his face, he pulled out his pistols one after another, and shouted, surnamed Ba, let's make it clear, don't give any compensation to the masters, don't want to leave today, he ** stay here and wait for death, use him ** burning sticks to scare people, the guys in the hands of the men are not vegetarians
These Japanese officers were a little stunned, strange, these obedient Zhina people, today as if they had taken medicine, their eyes were bigger than the imperial army, and they had the intention to kill a few Liwei, look at this posture, without waiting for a move, they were willing to let the Zhina people swallow it alive.
Several Japanese officers froze there, the posture of the imperial army must not be lost, there is no courage to do it, Badarhu saw that the momentum was not right, today he did not agree to the request of these bandit leaders, no one wants to leave here, now the bandits are also red-eyed, it is not worth it to accompany these guys who are dead and alive to wait for death.
Badarhu had a smile on his face and gritted his teeth in his heart, waiting for the imperial army to get out of danger, he had to clean up all you bandits, one by one, and agreed to all the conditions of the bandits, some wanted the gold of the ocean, some wanted guns and ammunition, and the two most outrageous bandit leaders actually asked for a few tanks, saying that they would drive that thing to smash the kiln and not be shot
Badarhu agreed, not only that, but also wrote a lot of IOUs, so that these bandits, when the time comes, will go to the headquarters of the North China Garrison Army in Tianjin to find him, and promise to cash it out, but it is also a loss that this guy's Chinese characters are not bad, and it is not difficult to do this set of business.
The noisy finally, to calm down the feelings of these bandit leaders, he assigned a retreat plan, there is only one principle, blooming on all sides, that is, you can go as much as you like, he really said that a few bandits will move, and retreat in the direction when they come and go.
This busy work, more than an hour of hard work, just like this, the time has reached more than six o'clock, it is too late, Liu Tiehan led the left and right flank outflank troops, a total of more than 50,000 people, has surrounded these bandits and the Japanese army, exhausted.
Not only that, Liu Tiehan also drew three regiments from the left and right flank troops to strengthen the defensive forces in the direction of Liu Chun, Tong Batu and Jiang Yanming.
If Badarhu hadn't wasted these few hours, a very precious time, and made a quick decision, he would have dispersed and retreated when Liu Tiehan's troops had not yet formed an encirclement, and Liu Tiehan's battle would have been much more difficult to fight in the future.
However, Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang could only be entangled with the bandits who were scattered and retreating, and could not be encircled and eliminated, and the number of bandits and Japanese troops far exceeded that of the 1st Independent Brigade, including the 113th Brigade of the 29th Army, Zhao Dengyu's troops and other units combined.
Liu Tiehan could only fight the rout battles and pursuit battles all over the mountains, not to mention the increase in casualties among the troops, and he could not afford the time consumed alone, and the effect was far from meeting the requirements of the division commander.
When Badarhu decided the fate of tens of thousands of people, he thought too much, repeatedly moved his mind, and became entangled in some branches and details, losing precious time.
After the troops arrived, they quickly deployed regardless of fatigue, and connected with the defense line of the 1st Independent Brigade, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Brigades, and the Huangyadong Garrison Brigade, which were chasing the bandits behind, and rationally allocated troops.
After Liu Tiehan, Feng Jiwu, and Li Honggang met, they immediately set up the Xiaowutai Mountain Campaign Headquarters to command the operation in a unified manner.
In Liu Tiehan's binoculars, the bandits under the mountain were still eating breakfast in a disorderly manner, unaware that they had fallen into the net, and the independent division troops surrounding them had a total of five main field brigades, a garrison brigade, two artillery brigades, most of the first and second cavalry brigades, and a special operations detachment, with a total strength of more than 76,000 troops, more than three times their strength, and their firepower was dozens of times that of them.
Badarhu was also anxious, seeing that the sun had risen in the sky, these bandits did not know to flee for their lives, and they were still having a slow breakfast, for fear that they would not be able to eat the next meal.
In his ears, he seemed to hear the sound of digging and building fortifications on the high ground on both sides, and this sound became more and more and louder, and he had a very bad feeling that he was really surrounded.
The bandits finally finished their last meal and began to disperse and retreat according to their own ideas, however, there were almost no bandit troops, retreating in the direction of the 1st Independent Brigade, the tongue of fire from last night's light and heavy machine guns, the sea of fire blasted by the artillery, and the terrifying scene were deeply imprinted in the minds of these bandits
The bandits who retreated in the other three directions hit the iron plate headlong, and their heads were bleeding, and they were forced to retreat, and then they organized a second assault, this time it was even worse, the artillery fire of the first and second artillery brigades, just after the construction of the firing position, just in time for the bandits' second assault, a shelling, the ground was blown up, the bandits in front were drowned in the thick smoke of gunpowder, the bandits retreated, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, leaving behind the corpses of bandits everywhere.
