Chapter 21 Matchup

Zhonghongyou fell into a coma as soon as the war began, which directly led to the collapse of Zhonghong's brigade. After the Zhonghong Brigade was disrupted, under the command of low-level officers at all levels, although it still wanted to resist stubbornly, "However, in the face of the superior enemy (the firepower density shown by the Second Regiment at the beginning made the Japanese think that it had been ambushed by the superior enemy), what we wanted most was to maintain our strength, so we resolutely chose to retreat" -- it was Tian Yejun, the squadron leader of the Zhonghong Brigade, who said this.

A brigade of field artillery was captured, and directly killed and wounded more than 600 people, the encirclement and suppression operation suffered such a large loss, the Japanese army could not fail to investigate the corresponding responsible, a week after the end of the battle, Matsushita Muhide, who had not yet been on the throne of the wing commander, was escorted back to China, and then sent to a military court. And because of the unknown appointment, the career of Taiwan Governor Kobayashi was also affected, which directly led to the transfer of a lieutenant general from the base camp of the Japanese Army Ministry to take over the post of commander of Kobayashi's Taiwan Division and begin to rearrange the operation of encircling and suppressing the Taiwan Corps of the Cadet Army.

However, it is said that Matsushita Muxiu led the main force of the Japanese army to bite tightly behind the sporadic troops of the four regiments, and followed from the "small sleeper" to the second ambush point "Yuchi". The name "Fish Pond" is due to the fact that there is a large inland lake in this area, and the ambush circle of the three regiments is located on the north side of the lake.

The fourth regiment paid a heavy price for the long escape, in order to take as many people as possible to escape, every once in a while, when the enemy was about to catch up, Xie Changan would organize more than a dozen people to stay as a blocking force. And these remaining warriors, because they will face an enemy nearly a hundred times their size, so their fate will be very miserable.

Seeing his subordinates volunteering to stay and stop the attack, he knew that they might lose their young lives because of this, and this feeling was something that Xie Changan had not experienced before. That kind of pain seems to be more unbearable than dying yourself. With tears in his eyes, he always said to the remaining warriors: "Brothers! Take care! Then he gritted his teeth and led the others away quickly. And in his heart, he hated Lin Xiaoyu to death, if it wasn't for Lin Xiaoyu not obeying the orders of the division headquarters, they should have safely escaped from the battle by now, right?

Artillery?! Fuck it, if you don't die, what's the use of a good weapon?

Zhang Yishu originally estimated that the battle of the three regiments would start between 10 and 12 o'clock in the evening. However, at nine o'clock, the scouts he had scattered had sent back news that the Japanese had appeared, and that they were chasing a small force.

"Small troops, how many people?"

"I can't see it clearly, there won't be a lot, it's just about a battalion."

Zhang Yishu fell into deep thought: No, no matter how bad the second and fourth regiments are, they will not be defeated by the Japanese army all at once, right? Moreover, only one battalion remained, which means that by this time, the 2nd and 4th regiments together had lost at least one regiment. In about three hours, the strength of a regiment is just gone? Is the Japanese army so strong? If this is the case, then the Taiwan Corps will have no chance to develop to its current size, and we may have been driven out too late by the little devils - no, there must be something in this that I don't know. Zhang Yishu has a very strong logical ability, and after he thought of this, he immediately ordered everyone to prepare for battle and prepare for battle. He said to Wu Xiaosong, the commander of the eighth battalion: "Xiaosong, you take someone to greet you, there are people from the fourth regiment among them, and the people from the fourth regiment have been running for three hours, right?" I must be exhausted. ”

"Yes!" Wu Xiaosong took the order and left, while the others were ready for battle under the command of officers at all levels.

The soldiers of the four regiments were so tired that many of them had already left completely on instinct. Running for up to three hours with equipment on his back is not something that ordinary people can bear. When Wu Xiaosong led people out of the bushes by the lake and gave the order, many soldiers of the Fourth Regiment immediately collapsed on the ground.

Xie Changan couldn't bear to lie down, he held on to a tree and said, "It's the commander of the martial arts, it's great, I've finally arrived here with you!" ”

Wu Xiaosong had already figured out the situation at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange that he didn't see the people of the Second Regiment, and asked, "Captain Xie, what about the people of the Second Regiment?" ”

Xie Changan was furious when he thought of the second regiment and Lin Xiaoyu, and he scolded: "Don't mention it, this Lin Xiaoyu, they wanted to engage in the devil's cannon, but they let go of this part of the devil, but it's good, we can only keep running away, like a lost dog." Speaking of this, he remembered something, and immediately asked, "Are you ready for an ambush?" He was worried that Zhang Yishu, like Lin Xiaoyu, would also change his course temporarily, and if he let them escape again, then he believed that these people from the Fourth Regiment would have to explain here.

Wu Xiaosong understood his worries and said, "It's ready, Commander Xie, you take the brothers to rest first, we're going to fight!" ”

"Okay, I'm here to cheer for you!"

Matsushita Kihide was in good spirits at this time, annihilating the small blocking forces of the three Chinese armies along the way, and then continued to stick up, he seemed to have seen victory and honor beckoning to him. The first time he served as the commander of the front-line troops, he annihilated a large number of enemy troops, and this credit is believed to have allowed him to sit in this position from now on. And with the deepening of the encirclement and suppression operation, it is believed that he will soon be promoted to general.

From time to time, he encouraged his soldiers: "If you work harder, the enemy is in front, catch up and eat them, and then we can go to the Nantou military camp to have a celebration dinner!" ”

The ambush positions of the 3rd Regiment were even more ingenious than those of the 2nd and 4th Regiments. Their task is actually to paralyze the enemy, so that Matsushita Muxiu firmly believes that the combat strength of the student army is only like this, and after this round of ambushes, they have poor donkey skills and can only sit and wait for death.

In order to achieve this goal, it is very important to have a lively fight, but not to hit the little devil hard.

Zhang Yishu's original idea was to shoot and run, but now because of the matter of the fourth regiment, he knew that he had to hold on for a while. The brothers of the fourth regiment were so tired that they needed time to rest. In order to give them as much time as possible to rest, let's do more for yourself.

Again, mines, then grenades and machine-rifle salvos. In the present era, ambushes, without superior artillery support, can only follow this procedure. As for seizing the opportunity to expand the results of the battle or taking the opportunity to evacuate after the sudden attack, it depends on the requirements of the mission and the actual situation.

was actually ambushed again, which made Matsushita Muxiu a little nervous after hearing the explosion. This is not far from the Nantou military camp, and because of the delay just now, the people of China are fully capable of drawing troops from other places. If this was an ambush battle that the Chinese had been planning for a long time, it would inevitably cause great casualties to the imperial army. At this moment, he regretted a little that he didn't bring the artillery with him, although the speed was a little slower, but he definitely didn't have to worry about this level of ambush.

It is already an open secret that the Taiwan Corps of the Cadet Army lacks heavy weapons, especially artillery. It is precisely because of this that the Japanese army still does not take the Taiwan Corps too seriously. If the Taiwan Corps made the Japanese feel a little uneasy, it was because they could easily accept the support of fighters from Fujian and Guangzhou.

"Don't mess around, hold on, figure out the enemy's strength!" Because of this consideration, Panasonic did not rashly issue an offensive order, but adopted a more prudent tactical arrangement.

Kaichiro Suki clearly supported the co-captain's decision. He got down to the car, personally commanded the troops to get out of the truck in an orderly manner, assumed a defensive posture, and then asked the soldiers to fire flares, in order to find out the reality of the enemy army as quickly as possible.

Flares rose into the sky one after another, and soon the area around the fish pond was illuminated as bright as day. Yuchi has the strength of three regiments and one regiment, and in line with the idea of shooting and leaving, the strength of the three regiments is relatively concentrated, so that the Japanese can easily judge the truth and falsehood.

Kaichiro Suki immediately suggested: "Your Excellency, it seems that it is the receiving force of the Shina people, I think we can seize the opportunity to rush, if we can bite the Shina people to death here, then the situation in Nantou will be stable." ”

The situation detected by the reconnaissance plane during the day was that there were not many student soldiers left in Nantou, and this was also the basis for Suki Koichiro to dare to make such a suggestion.

Matsushita Muxiu thought about it for a while, and then agreed to Suki's proposal.

The Japanese troops quickly set up their formations under the cover of trucks, and then launched an attack on the positions of the three regiments with the support of mortars.

The tide of devils poured over, and according to the original plan, the three regiments should retreat at this time. However, considering that the people of the Fourth Regiment had not yet eased up, Zhang Yishu decided to hold on for a while after an ideological struggle.

"Lu Daquan, take your company to counterattack, we need to buy a little more time for the brothers of the fourth regiment."

Lu Daquan was the most capable tiger general of the three regiments, he took the order, immediately gathered the soldiers of the company, and immediately launched a counter-charge in the Didi Da Charge. Nearly 100 cadets stabbed or brandished large blades at the enemy on the opposite side, and after each side fired a shot, they immediately collided like two waves.

After Lu Daquan rushed forward, Zhang Yishu immediately concentrated all the machine guns and bomb throwers and retreated to the second line, ready to respond.

The white-edged battle between Lu Daquan and the little devil was quite tragic. Zhang Yishu chose Lu Daquanlian to launch a counter-charge at this time, and there was a basis for it. Although the staffing of Lu Daquan's company is no different from that of other companies, because of the existence of Lu Daquan, a "mad tiger," the fighting spirit of his soldiers is the most top-notch in the 101st Division.

In white-knuckle warfare, the physical fitness, skills and tactics of the soldiers are one thing, and more importantly, the ideological quality of the soldiers is seen. Under the leadership of Lu Daquan, Lu Daquan put on a momentum like a mad tiger at the beginning, and every time someone ignored the spear stabbed in front of him, he only thought of stabbing the white bayonet into the enemy's chest.

Once the panic is formed, it will be infected, so in the eyes of Panasonic, the infantry phalanx, which was originally indomitable, suddenly began to retreat, and some of the soldiers at the front actually turned around and ran, which made him can't help but be very angry - "Eight grids, are they still warriors under His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Zhang Yishu wanted this effect, he accepted it when he saw it, and immediately ordered the sound of the retreat horn. As soon as the retreat horn sounded, Lu Daquan and the others immediately retreated from both sides, and at the same time, the machine gunners and bombardiers who had been ready for a long time began to exert their might, and the gunshots rained down, and the grenades exploded one after another in the devil crowd, and in just a quarter of an hour, the little devil's indomitable offensive momentum was immediately contained.
