Chapter 57: Tailgating and Pursuit

(5000 words big chapter, are the brothers satisfied?) In addition, it is still to promote the new book of the couple, and the title of the book is solicited - it is said that "Sister and Brother Contract" is very vulgar - Khan one! "There is only one brigade of devils in ambush? "The matter is serious, Guo Da has to be cautious, he personally talked to Yun Yi, wanted to confirm the enemy situation.

"Yes."

"Little devil ** no?"

"A mortar shell was fired."

"Call the Chief of Staffβ€”"

"Master?!"

"Lao Xu, let a reconnaissance company go out of the city, let them go out of the city for ten kilometers, and leave a report every one kilometer. The big army keeps moving! ”

"Yes!"

The hissing of the motors rose again, and the convoy started slowly, quickly returning to its original speed.

The vehicle suddenly couldn't move, and in the command car of the division headquarters of the mountain division, Huang Haifu picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Guo Muyi, the chief of staff in front, about the situation.

Guo Muyi is the colonel of the Kuomintang who wanted to persuade the 13th Taibao to surrender to the central government on Bawang Mountain. Guo Muyi was originally called Guo Dalai, but after being convinced by Ouyang Yun to join the Xuebing Army, in order to distinguish him from Guo Da, the commander of the First Division, he changed his name to Muyi, which meant to respect Guo Ziyi, a veteran of the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Muyi was also puzzled about this matter at this time, and after receiving Huang Haifu's inquiry, she called Gong Caiqiang, the deputy division commander in charge of the rear team of the First Division in front of her, and asked what happened in front.

Gong Caiqiang didn't know, he grabbed the microphone and was about to ask to talk to Guo Da, when Guo Muyi's voice sounded again in the microphone. It turned out that Huang Haifu had just finished talking to Guo Muyi on the phone, and Guo Da talked to him and informed him of the reason and his decision. Huang Haifu relayed the story to Guo Muyi, who in turn told Gong Caiqiang, who realized that the reconnaissance soldiers of the Lu Dao division had been ambushed by the devil's army. The troops set off again, and at this time, Guo Dacai, who was finally free, had time to contact Gong Caiqiang, and when he learned that Gong Caiqiang had already understood the matter, he didn't talk nonsense anymore, and turned to contact Huang Haifu again, and the two division commanders began to discuss countermeasures.

Huang Haifu agreed with his decision to continue the march, and at the same time was a little worried, after these three days, whether the Japanese army in Linyi would increase, and whether there were traitors in the fifth war zone when the little devil actually set up an ambush in Kokura Village.

Guo Da felt unlikely, and he analyzed: "I think it's accidental! Otherwise, the little devil should release the sentry from afar, and after discovering our small reconnaissance unit, he will not choose to encircle and annihilate but directly let it go, so as to paralyze our army and wait for an ambush on our large army. ”

"But, why would the little devil set up an ambush in Ogura Village? The intention of this trigger is really incomprehensible! ”

"It's very weird, but it doesn't matter, I've asked Chief of Staff Xu to release all the scouts, even if the enemy situation in Linyi really changes, we can evacuate in time."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

On the avenue outside the village of Ogura, Masao Hashimoto stared at the intersection to the northeast, and after a dazzling light, dozens of trucks stopped. Then, he walked over surrounded by more than a dozen devil officials. Masao Hashimoto hurriedly stepped forward and happily reported the good news just now. The content of this exercise has actually come to an end by this time. Shun wanted to inspect the Hashimoto brigade that had set up an ambush, so he organized the team to fight back, and when he heard that the Hashimoto brigade had just fought a beautiful ambush battle, he eliminated fourteen people and only escaped one, he was stunned at first, and then he didn't like it and was angry, so he stepped forward and rewarded Hashimoto boss with an ear scraper.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", which stunned a group of little devils.

He glared at the stupid Hashimoto hatefully, and didn't care about scolding him, so he immediately sent someone to search and move forward, with special care, at least five kilometers to search out. Then he shouted to Hashimoto, "Where is the body of the Shina man, take me to see it!" ”

Fourteen soldiers in camouflage uniforms lay on the ground stained red with their blood, and the death of each one was extremely tragic, which shows the fierceness of the resistance at that time. Among them, three limbs were mutilated, and they were killed by shelling or pulling grenades. The situation reported by Hashimoto is hidden a little, these fourteen people were exchanged by them with twenty-seven imperial officers and soldiers.

Lu Benshun looked at the captured motorcycles again, and his face became even more ugly: "It's the Scholar Army, and only the Scholar Army has so many motorcycles in the Chinese army." It is clear that they are responsible for reconnoitring the enemy. Eight Geyaru! Hashimoto Nakasa, don't you have a brain? Since you do it, you can't let one go! A brigade ambushed fifteen people, but they couldn't do it allβ€”eight grids! ”

Masao Hashimoto stood up straight, bowed his head and responded, "Hay! ”

Komatsu Toshiyi, the captain of another brigade, asked, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the intentions of the people are very suspicious?" They should be a reconnaissance team, could it be that the people of China want to attack Linyi at night? What do we do now? ”

He paced two steps with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth and said, "The whole army is ready for battle and is waiting for news from the search team!" Captain Araki, please send a telegram back to Linyi immediately, so that Aoki Daisa can gather his team and prepare for the attack. ”

"Hello!"

With Qiu Junpai's experience, Wang Yanong became extremely cautious. Seven kilometers away from Kokura Village, he left two people on guard in case of an emergency, then turned off the headlights, and only relied on the faint light from the fog lights to move slowly. After driving a few kilometers away, he gave up the motorcycle to Hu Min to drive, and he took a miniature flashlight and the convoy to open a distance of about 50 meters in front of him. Wang Yanong's caution made him the first to spot the Japanese squad searching for the advancing Japanese team from Ogura Village, and then, he used a miniature flashlight to send back a signal, and Hu Min and the others immediately turned off the fire and pushed the motorcycle into the nearby bushes and farmland to hide. Today's night is weird, almost unable to see five fingers, in this environment, the little devils who have always been suspicious have become shrunken one by one, and the speed of progress is very slow, which also gives Wang Yanong and them plenty of time to respond.

Wang Yanong ran back to Hu Min and them, sent two people to run back to pass on the enemy's situation, and left two more people to stay in place to observe the enemy's situation, and then took Hu Min and three other soldiers to bypass the main road and grope in the direction of Xiaocang Village.

The little devil was rigid, so he asked them to search five kilometers forward, and they estimated the time, drove a dozen three-wheeled motorcycles forward slowly for about twenty minutes, and did not find any enemy situation, and then returned.

At this time, Cui Yongqiang, the deputy battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the 1st Division, had already met with the two soldiers left behind by Wang Yanong. A few minutes later, they met two more fighters who had come back from running to deliver information.

After listening to the reports of these two soldiers, Ge Zengfu, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, immediately allocated them a two-wheeled motorcycle, told them to immediately turn back to meet the large troops, and personally report the enemy situation to Chief of Staff Xu. Then a platoon of fighters was left to guard the motor vehicle, and the others abandoned the maneuver and ran towards the village of Kokura.

After waiting for the search team, he learned that there was no enemy within five kilometers of the departure from Ogura Village, and after some deliberation, he finally decided not to take unnecessary risks, leaving a team of devils to guard in Ogura Village and lead the large army back to Linyi.

More than 2,000 devils poured into the vehicles of their subordinate units from their respective battle lines, making a noisy sound, which immediately attracted the attention of Wang Yanong and others.

He got into his thin iron armored car, and Wang Yanong and the others followed the sound of the motor to find him.

In order to escape the scourge of war, the people of Ogura Village had nine out of ten households, and there was no light in the whole village. The little devil was obviously aware of this situation and did not enter the village to search for nuisances. About 100 military trucks lined up on the road one after another, the headlights lit up, Wang Yanong quickly swept over, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he calculated - this is the more than 1,000 devils Yun Yi said, at least 2,000. Fortunately, we found it in advance, otherwise the situation would be dangerous!

More than 100 trucks carrying more than 2,000 devils drove away slowly - compared with the speed of the little devil's truck and that of the student army, there was a big gap, and it was dark, and the lighting of the devil's headlights was not good, so it was so slow. About ten minutes passed before the devil's army completely drove out of the village. When I arrived, there was only a lone truck and a few two- and three-wheeled motorcycles left at the entrance of the village, which was still very crowded.

Under the command of the squad leader Yojiichiro, the devils of the squad that left the guard first drove the truck and motorcycle into the largest courtyard at the head of the village, and then sent out a bright and secret sentry under Wang Yanong's nose, and then lit a bonfire, took out canned food and began to enjoy supper.

Hu Min lay beside Wang Yanong and whispered: "Platoon commander, let's go up and touch the sentinels of the little devils and serve these devils in one pot." ”

Wang Yanong had his own thoughts, and he said softly: "It's not right nowβ€”Zhou Tai, you and Zhang Wa keep up with the big army of little devils and try to find out their true intentions." Remember, if the little devil has abnormal behavior, you should rush back immediately to report it, and if it is too late, it doesn't matter if you shoot to warn. ”

Zhou Tai was the leader of the second squad, he answered, and Zhang Wa ran out of the lurking place with their cats, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing Zhou and Zhang leave, Wang Yanong asked Hu Min to stay and continue to monitor, and he returned to the main road and ran in the direction of the city.

In less than ten minutes, he met Cui Yongqiang face to face. At a distance of about fifteen meters, two people shouted almost at the same time: "Password!" The next moment, Wang Yanong asked tentatively: "Is it Camp Commander Cui?" ”

"Wang Yanong?"

"It's me!"

At this point, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The brigade of the reconnaissance battalion drove up, and Ge Zengfu learned of the latest developments of the Japanese army, learned that the little devil was evacuating very slowly, and immediately realized that this was a rare fighter. He first ordered Cui Yongqiang to take a company of soldiers to touch the devils who stayed in Kokura Village, and then used the military microphone to report the situation directly to Guo Da. The distance between Guo Da and Ge Zengfu is now more than thirteen kilometers, and the best communication distance of the walkie-talkie they use is twelve kilometers, so the quality of the two people's calls has been affected, which makes Guo Da not hear some of his words clearly at first. The reason why Ge Zengfu chose to report the situation directly to Guo Da was to gain time, and when he saw this, he simply put aside the report on the enemy situation and directly made a request: "Please immediately order the whole army to advance at the fastest speed!" He shouted several times in a row before Guo Da understood. Guo Da was also a bold man, and immediately ordered the whole army to advance as fast as possible, and notified the mountain division that followed closely with the first division. Then he resumed the call with Ge Zengfu and asked about the specific situation.

The previous ambush of the reconnaissance platoon left a shadow in everyone's hearts - since learning and doing things at the same time can use the night to launch a surprise attack, then the little devil can naturally use the night to ambush. The sacrifice of the fourteen elite soldiers made everyone from the first division to the elementary school feel angry and regretful, but from the overall situation, it seems that Guo Da and Ge Zengfu are sincerely happy in addition to anger and sadness - fortunately, it is only a platoon, what if it is two divisions? Ge Zengfu had just learned this information from Yun Yikou, and he was puzzled: If the little devil was deliberately ambushing our army, how could he give up the big white goose behind him for the sake of a little sparrow? Is it because Qiu Jun and they found the traces of the little devil, or is it because of other reasons? Could this be a coincidence?

The behavior of the Japanese army was indeed strange, and they successfully fought a small ambush and evacuated, and the devils who stayed in Kokura Village behaved very casually, and did not have the consciousness of facing the enemy - based on these circumstances, Ge Zengfu concluded that the Japanese army did not know the intentions and whereabouts of our army. That's why he went against the norm and overstepped his authority to make imperative suggestions.

Ge Zengfu's analysis was very objective, and Guo Da chose to trust his judgment after thinking about it. While ordering the troops to pursue at full speed, he readjusted the sequence of troops, and when the troops passed through Ogura Village one after another, the tank regiment had been adjusted to the front of the entire army, and the reconnaissance battalion rushed forward with great momentum.

The devils of the two brigades in Linyi were the first to be destroyed, and the devil team left behind in Ogura Village. Of the thirty-seven devils, four were directly wiped on their throats, and the rest were all killed by crossbow arrows, of which more than ten arrows in Yujiichiro's body were shot into a hornet's nest.

The tank unit of the 1st Xueshi Division was personally commanded by Wu Kezhi, commander of the 3rd Xuebu Brigade. Half an hour later, they met Zhang Wa, who was following the devil's army on the order of Wang Yanong.

Zhou Tai and Zhang Wa adopted the relay tracking method, one person kept an appropriate distance and fell behind the little devil convoy, and another person lagged behind for several hundred meters, changing positions every ten minutes. This tracking method was invented by Guo Biao, and its advantage is that it can avoid the pursuing troops being discovered by the enemy prematurely.

At this time, it was Zhang Wa's turn to lag behind, and when he heard the roar of the rumbling motor, he knew that his own team was catching up, and he didn't care about the danger, standing in the middle of the road and waving his hands vigorously.

The ideal state of the relay tracking method is that it is executed by a team, and there are only two people Zhou Tai and Zhang Wa, which requires them to keep running before and after, which is very physically exhausting. So although the speed of the devil team is limited, Zhou Tai and Zhang Wa still run all over the sweat. Under the bright tank headlights, the camouflage uniform on Zhang Wa's body was particularly eye-catching, and Ge Zengfu, who was sitting on the first tank, immediately slowed down the tank. Then he jumped down and ran to Zhang Wa, while asking, "Erwazi, what about the enemy?" You didn't lose it, did you? ”

Zhang Wa was very excited, he stood with his feet and saluted and said, "Report to the camp, the little devil is in front, at most one mile away from us, and Squad Leader Zhou is following." ”

"Good!" Ge Zengfu slapped him the shoulder, and then shouted as he walked to the third tank: "All the scout battalions come down and stand on the side of the road." ”

Wu Kezhi's command vehicle was the third tank, and he had already opened the top cover and poked out his upper body at this time. He asked Ge Zengfu, "What's the situation?" ”

The big battle is imminent, Ge Zengfu is also a little excited, he said: "The devil is a mile away from us, should we rush up immediately, or should we ask the master seat first?" ”

"Don't worry," Wu Ke said, picked up the binoculars and looked ahead, and saw the lights of the shadows, he gritted his teeth and said, "Follow first, I'll ask for the master's seat." You inform the artillery regiments in the back about the situation and prepare them for battle. ”

"Yes."

Wu Kezhi got into the tank and was about to contact Guo Da to ask him for a battle plan, when a shout sounded outside: "Brigade Commander Wu, the division seat is here." ”

Guo Da's armored vehicles were interspersed all the way, and at this time they had already rushed to the front of the troops.

Seeing that the echelon of the tank troops was decreasing, he happened to see Ge Zengfu, and ordered the driver to plug in from the wheat field next to him, stop directly beside Ge Zengfu, directly push open the air window above his head, stand up and ask: "Battalion Commander Ge, why has the speed slowed down?" ”

"Master, we are about a mile away from the little devil now, and Brigade Commander Wu is about to ask you for instructions on how to fight."

Wu Kezhi heard the call of his subordinates and had already drilled out of the tank again. He shouted loudly at Guo Da: "Master, please give an order, this time, we will smash the little devil's ** from behind!" ”

Guo Da picked up the binoculars and looked ahead first, then he exhaled softly, put down the binoculars and looked at Wu Kezhi and said slowly: "The little devil walks very slowly-" Thinking in his heart, it can't be the little devil's strategy to lure the enemy, after all, we don't know the situation in the vicinity at all. No matter what, what about the more than 2,000 devils, the front of the artillery regiment is bombarded, and the tank regiment is rushed behind, and the devil formation will be chaotic, and the next thing is to catch the rabbits in the four fields. He looked at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and suddenly the volume was raised, and he said loudly: "Wu Kezhi, check the time, it's eleven o'clock and eight o'clock, I order, your department will attack on time at eleven o'clock, remember, first carry out sufficient artillery bombardment and then launch a charge." Ge Zengfu, your reconnaissance battalion follows the tank regiment from both sides of the road, taking care to protect its flanks. Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and directly called out to the commander of the self-propelled artillery regiment, Monk Chen, asking him to be ready to open fire within five minutes, and launch an artillery bombardment on time at 11:10 a.m., covering an area of five to three kilometers directly ahead. After giving the order to the artillery regiment, he communicated with Huang Haifu, informed the 1st Division of the combat plan, and asked him to prepare for the attack of the whole army, especially mentioning that the convoy might need to detour from the wheat field.
