Chapter 15: Fighting Alone (2)

The sound of gunfire pierced the silent dawn, and the silence of Qianpan Town was almost turned upside down in an instant. The well-trained, quick-reacting devil got up as soon as he got up, grabbed his gun and rushed out. Whether it is in the tent or the devil in the house, they all show their good military qualities.

On the contrary, he was a little panicked and almost fell off the bed. As soon as he got up, the deputy officer outside rushed in: "Report to Dazuo, the wing headquarters has been attacked by a small group of the Zhina Army"

He Zhiying, who stabilized his mind, was furious at the time: "Baga, order to concentrate forces to destroy them." ”

He Zhiying II is not worried, with his existing strength, it doesn't matter if he is attacked by a regiment. It turned out to be a small force, that is, looking for death. I don't know which of the Chinese stragglers who were defeated and scattered, so there is no need to worry at all. Such an army, of course, is annihilation.

But the deputy officer didn't go out for a few minutes, and Zhiying Er felt wrong, why did he attack so violently. He was about to ask what was going on, when a* exploded outside his bedroom door, shattering the glass. A soldier rushed in: "Dazuo, hurry up and transfer, they rushed in." ”

He Zhiyinger was taken aback, he didn't know how many people came, if there were few people, it would be impossible for him to avoid his peak for a while. Sure enough, the gunshots were fierce and the explosions were continuous.

The devil is in a hurry, and there are no tall buildings here. The most infuriating thing is that Lai Changwen has lurked closely, * is a sharp weapon in close combat, and a pistol is more effective than a bayonet. Although there were only 16 people, a squadron and confidential personnel stationed at the wing headquarters were 3 or 400 people, but they could not stop such an attack. At a distance of thirty or forty meters, * flew straight in.

Xue Ruming knew that the artillery of the national army was not good, and there was not even an ordinary mortar, so it could only exert the power of *. As long as you are not afraid of death at close range, the power of * is still very great, after all, it is an explosion. Therefore, in addition to bullets, the special combat team carried as many as eight each.

For a time, the devil was a man on his back. According to Xue Ru's explanation, it is not necessary to kill the captain of the wing, it is useless. Kill the wing captain and the adjutant, and the group leader, the main thing is to destroy the command organ. So the special combat team that rushed in saw the tent room and flew in.

There were not many casualties on this occasion, but the number of confidential personnel of the wing was particularly high, and most of them did not even have weapons. Sixteen people were divided into three groups and just ran around, and there was no goal at all, just indiscriminately killing and bombing.

The Japanese army was not familiar with such an operation at all, and they did not know how to command. In fact, at this time, we should withdraw from this courtyard and surround this place. And Zhiying II should leave immediately and establish a separate command system. But he was also a little dazed, thinking about destroying this small army that rushed in.

The squadron leader stationed at the wing headquarters also thought so, and on the one hand let the captain of the Dazuo wing retreat, and on the other hand, he organized the soldiers to surround and annihilate. The place is so cramped, and the rifle of the Japanese army, which is more than two meters long, and it is a single-shot rifle, how can it be an opponent of the shell gun and *.

He Zhiying II finally rushed out of the headquarters under the protection of the pro-guards, but he lost the radio and the command's telephone, and he did not know that the infantry and artillery brigades in the distance were attacked.

Seeing that he hadn't caught these dozen troublemakers, he was furious. In a small town that was only a little bigger, the sound of guns and artillery could be easily heard, and by the time he figured it out, two brigades and more than 2,000 people were actually routed and retreated.

Captain Ichiro Katayama Nakasa had blood on his arm, and he was wounded. Katayama Ichiro was also depressed, when did the Imperial Japanese Army fight such a battle, the despicable Shina people would sneak attack, and they didn't even have the spirit of a samurai.

The Japanese were resting, and suddenly the gunfire in the center of the town woke them up, but they just paid attention to the inside, and when they found that the Shina army lurking in front of them could only rely on bayonets. For fighting bayonets, the Japanese army was not afraid, but he ran into a strange unit, they were all *, and then pistols, and did not give the Imperial soldiers a chance to fight bayonets at all.

No matter how fast the bayonet was, there was no faster than the gun, so a single shot made his brigade suffer heavy losses. The devil who was ready to fight desperately with a bayonet was either greeted with a burst of * bullets or a pistol bullet at close range. Such a battle is still a fart, and you can only retreat and want to distance yourself.

There was no problem with Ichiro Katayama's command, and it was correct to pull the distance. But the troops of the Chinese army did not stop at all, biting the pursuit of the imperial army. Ichiro Katayama wanted to contact the co-captain, but the phone didn't work at all, so he had to lead people to retreat while sending someone to contact the co-captain.

Duan Mingye and Zhang Dongjiang are not to mention their excitement, a battalion of troops is pressing a brigade of devils to fight, and what they don't dare to think about is now in front of them.

Xue Ru didn't even pull out the battle knife, and he grabbed Xiao Yong's gun in his hand, but he only fired three shots. She didn't know if she hit the devil or not, because Guo Yongcai and Zhao Dele were arranged by Duan Mingye for the two guards, and she was required to ensure Miss Xue's safety.

The two of them are inseparable, basically using their bodies as fronts. This is like blocking bullets for Xue Ru, which makes her both moved and depressed, she is not so bad, right?

Ichiro Katayama and the wing commander converged, only to learn that the wing headquarters had been attacked, and the casualties were not small.

After all, the third battalion is too small, there are only three companies of more than 400 people, and the devil is a total of more than 2,000 people, although the casualties are not small, but once they are concentrated, it is not something that these people can stop.

Xue Ru didn't intend to destroy them at all, it was impossible. Anyway, I didn't know if they would ask for help, so they immediately notified Duan Mingye to lead the soldiers to retreat, blow up the Japanese ammunition and artillery, and the whole army retreated to the second location.

Duan Mingye, who was fighting vigorously, was very reluctant to order a retreat. In less than two hours, the fighting stopped and the Chinese army retreated. The army, which was gaining momentum, retreated without warning, at a very fast pace.

After the devils reorganized the troops, they found that there were five or six hundred casualties, and more than 300 were killed in battle. Looking at the still dark sky, He Zhiying II did not dare to give the order to pursue. Xue Ru, who had withdrawn far away, said: "Battalion Commander Duan, send someone to inform Regiment Commander Liu to retreat to the second place immediately, and we will retreat in the direction of Luodian." ”

Duan Mingye didn't understand why. In fact, Xue Ru was also very angry, and the devil was not fooled by the plan he arranged. She planned to come to the besieging city to send reinforcements, but the devil neither asked Yuepu to return to the team headquarters for reinforcements, nor did she pursue, causing Xue Ru's plan to fail.

The main reason is that time is running out, and planes will appear as soon as it is dawn. Taking advantage of the darkness before dawn, the troops moved into hiding.

Finally dawn, He Zhiying Er was dizzy with anger, what kind of army is this, when did the Chinese army have this combat effectiveness? He had no choice but to report to the division commander and ask the reconnaissance plane to search and find this strong fighting force. If they were not eliminated, He Zhiying Er would not dare to attack Yang Xing, this force would be too dangerous.

Besides, he couldn't attack forward, he couldn't bring heavy artillery in the first place, and this distance was crisscrossed by a water network, so he could only use infantry and carry a small number of infantry guns. But the only infantry guns were blown up.

For his failure, Yamamuro Sotake could do nothing but scold. Enraged, he calmed down and had no choice but to ask the commander to cooperate with the naval guns to bombard the positions of the Chinese army in Baoshan, hoping to break through the Baoshan defensive line. At the same time, the 22nd Wing was ordered to attack Luodian as soon as possible.

The Yuepu road was not the main offensive route in the first place, and since the Chinese army was prepared, it was better to take Luodian. From a strategic location, Luodian is also the key. Breaking through Luodian will be able to approach Jiading and block the way for the Chinese army to retreat. Annihilated China's elite army in Shanghai and achieved the strategic goal of destroying China in three months.

Yamamuro Sotake sent a reconnaissance plane to search for this mysterious force, and ordered the two great Osa of Kazutaka to hold on to Tsukiura, put pressure on the Chinese army, and at the same time draw a part of the troops to eliminate this force. This is the opinion of Chief of Staff Katamura Shihachi Daisa.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division commander, the former enemy commander of the Shanghai garrison is Xue Yue, this person is known as the tiger boy, he is very brave in battle, and he is one of the few generals in the Chinese army. I fear that this force will come behind us, the wing that will contain the attack. ”

Yamamuro Sowu nodded, twice in a row, Luodian was lurked into Pan Bridge by them, so that the 22nd Wing had to stop the attack, this time attacking Qianpan, so that the 44th Wing stopped the attack.

Seeing that the division commander nodded in agreement, he said: "We should find out what kind of unit this is as soon as possible, otherwise it will still be very dangerous to attack Luodian." ”

Yamamuro said: "You contact the secret service, find out what kind of unit it is as soon as possible, and at the same time order the 44th Wing to suspend the offensive, search for this unit, and eliminate them." ”

"Hi" Katamura Shihachi Daisa hurriedly agreed. Soon the reconnaissance plane was dispatched to search, trying to find Xue Ru and them.

After waiting for half the night on the middle road, he received a message from Xue Ru that Liu Jie led two battalions to retreat west in the dark night. At dawn we entered Xuhang, which was already close to the Jiading area, where the Japanese army had just occupied and then retreated.

The devils can't help it, they have too few troops to occupy too many places, so they can only fight off the Chinese army and concentrate on attacking together, temporarily abandoning towns and villages.

Looking at the map in front of him, Liu Jie asked, "Miss Xue, what should I do next?" We have nothing, and it seems that we have to withdraw to Jiading to replenish. ”

Jiang Wensheng said: "It's not ammunition replenishment, it's food problems. There are thousands of us who haven't eaten since last night and today, so it's a problem to continue. If we don't wait for Jiading, we will have no combat effectiveness. ”

Xue Ru said: "Aren't there still people in the surrounding villages and towns? Collect food on the spot. Owe it first, and pay it back to them later. ”

Xuhang is just a big town, and there are many people in it. The devils didn't occupy this place, they just fought and retreated. Liu Jie immediately sent logistics troops to contact the wealthy here. After all, the people don't have much food, and if they can have food to eat, where will the food come from, it is best to find rich households.

But soon the quartermaster of the regiment, Wei Dafu, came back: "Report to the head of the regiment, the rich family here is the mayor of the town, Huang Minsheng, he said no, if the money can be collected, it will be a high price." Let's inquire, Huang Minsheng has food at home, but we can't grab it? ”

Liu Jie can't help it, the military discipline of the Central Army is very strict, they are not those miscellaneous troops. If you sue it, whoever does it will have to walk around without eating. I had to say: "Order the whole regiment, hold on, retreat to Jiading after dark, where is the defense area of the Jiading Security Regiment, where to replenish supplies."

Xue Ru said: "Slow, no, we can't withdraw from this area. “

Liu Jie asked, "Why?" ”

Xue Ru said: "You see, we attacked Panqiao, and then attacked Qianpan, and when the Japanese army didn't understand us, he didn't dare to attack, for fear that we would copy his back road. If we retreat to Jiading, away from Luodian and Yuepu, the devils will rest assured that they will attack boldly. Do you think the 235th Regiment can hold Luodian? Once Luo Dian lost the defensive line, he had to retreat. ”

Jiang Wensheng said: "Aren't you against holding your position? ”

Xue Ru smiled bitterly: "That's the retreat of the entire army, fighting a movement war with the devils, if you can't retreat as a whole, only a partial retreat, then the rest of the troops will be finished." This is the overall strategy, we don't count what we say, we can only fight. ”

Jiang Wensheng shook his head: "Can't the command department see it?" ”

Xue Ru knew that it was useless to say, if he was a military commander, he might still have some effect, but he was not even a battalion commander. To be able to command this regiment, or Liu Jie's dead horse as a live horse doctor, it is a failure anyway, and you have to get it yourself, otherwise you will not let yourself have the final say. also said: "We don't count what we say, the soldiers are dutiful and defend the country, so they have to carry out the order." ”

Liu Jie said: "If you don't leave, you can't starve, right?" ”

Xue Ru said: "Don't worry, I'll take care of the food." In the afternoon, we moved in the direction of Luodian. ”

Liu Jie didn't know what Xue Ru could do to solve it, so he just said: "Miss Xue, don't mess around, this place is close to Shanghai and Nanjing, and many people have a backstage." If someone sues, we all have to do it martial. ”

Xue Ru thought that the Central Army had strict discipline, but she was afraid that people would have a backstage. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to tell the rich man Huang to take out the grain." ”

Liu Jie didn't know what to do, if he didn't order to withdraw to Jiading, he would also be suspected of escaping. Since Xue Ru said that there was a way, he nodded and agreed. At this time, the troops were hiding from reconnaissance planes in the sky in a willow forest.

Xue Ru called over and Lai Changwen whispered in his ear, and Lai Changwen nodded again and again: "I know, don't worry, look at me." ”

After speaking, he immediately gathered his special combat team and walked towards Xuhang Town.
