Chapter 6: Fighting (19)

When the main force of the Japanese infantry came to the camp on foot, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. During this time, the Japanese tanks were looking for a breakthrough in the wheat field, but they were blocked by a steep wall of more than 1.5 meters, and there were no sappers to help them dig the opening, and they could not do anything.

The Japanese field artillery also arrived, and fired a few shots at the position of the second battalion from a long distance, blowing up some dirt, and there were no dead people. The range of the artillery regiment was not enough, and it could not hit the field artillery group, so it could only sigh.

When Li Baicheng moved the artillery regiment's position behind the third battalion, he said to the person in charge of the artillery regiment: Don't plan these artillery pieces this time, because with the artillery, none of us can escape. The person in charge of the artillery regiment agreed with Li Baicheng's opinion and asked, do you want the 92 style, Li Baicheng shook his head and said, don't want it either!

After the tidying up of the Japanese mountain artillery unit and field artillery unit once again came to the gap in the road, a group of sappers with tools also came to the breach, began to build the road, more than 100 mountain artillery and field artillery with their heads held high, carefully observing the surrounding situation, as long as someone dares to throw shells at the sappers, they will carry out devastating retaliation.

The first wave of artillery shells bombarded the Japanese artillery group, this time it was the old ballistic, no need to calibrate, the shells accurately fell in the Japanese artillery group, and at the same time as the cannon sounded, Liu Bolong's troops immediately made preparations for retreat, and their job was to cover Li Baicheng's artillery battalion to withdraw from the battle.

After the second wave of shells was fired, Li Baicheng gave an order, and everyone threw down the cannons and ran away.

Just ran out of less than 500 meters, the Japanese artillery shells have fallen like hail, the 92-type infantry guns suddenly became a pile of scrap iron, Liu Bolong can see that it is difficult to get down, such a dense shells, it is uncomfortable to fall on anyone's head, no wonder the 135th Division only held out for an hour, you can imagine how much it costs to pay for an hour in this kind of dense artillery fire. Li Baicheng also shook his head involuntarily, the Japanese army's mountain artillery can still be bullied, but the Japanese army's field artillery is too fierce.

Just when the mountain artillery and field artillery barrels of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade were all fired at Li Baicheng's side, Kluber of the 31st Army Artillery Regiment found an opportunity and threw the shells into the Japanese artillery group from the other side. In the explosion of artillery shells, it was not easy for the Japanese army to adjust the bulky cannon to 180 degrees on the gun position, which took time and life. Although the caliber of the 75 Mountain Cannon was only 5 mm larger than that of the Type 92 Infantry Cannon, the power of each shell was much greater, and the Japanese imitation Kruber Mountain Cannon could be flipped to the ground at will, with the barrel twisted and the gun body distorted.

However, the Japanese artillery was too many, even if half of it was scrapped, there were still dozens. Finally, Japanese shells began to shoot back into the positions of the 31 Army artillery regiment.

"One more shot, and we'll withdraw." The regimental commander shouted.

One launch.

"One more shot, and we'll withdraw." The regimental commander shouted again.

Another shot.

The Japanese shells fell more and more densely, and the artillery regiment threw down its own guns, carried the wounded, and quickly retreated. Chen Zhengxin's guard battalion, which was serving as a guard behind them, was already sweating in a hurry.

The Japanese artillery lasted for half an hour, which was enough for Mo Di to run five kilometers with his troops to a small village called Yongzhen.

The commander of the 31st Army Artillery Regiment was called Guo Guanggui, and he brought the commander of the 174th Division Artillery Battalion to bid farewell to Modi, and if they wanted to find a way to return to the 31st Army, they would not go to Guzhen with Modi's 526 Brigade. Through telegraph contact, it was learned that the military headquarters of the 31st Army was already on the road to Banqiao Town, and Mo Enemy did not keep them, but only asked the military doctor to prepare enough medicine for the wounded, and each soldier had a southern fourteen pistol, one hundred rounds of ammunition, and had a certain ability to defend themselves.

Guo Guanggui found Li Baicheng and said very sincerely, he never thought that the artillery battalion of the 526 Brigade would be able to play artillery to such an extent and be taught, but this time, even the artillery battalion of the 526 Brigade has become the commander of the light pole, sorry. Li Baicheng said with a smile that when he came to Shanghai, he did not have a single cannon in his hand, and the first few cannons were stolen back from the hands of the Japanese. At most, for half a month, I will have at least thirty infantry guns, no less.

Guo Guanggui left with a smile, he knew that Li Baicheng had this strength, not bragging.

Knowing that the military headquarters of the 31st Army and other departments had successfully escaped, Zhang Guangwei immediately sat down on the ground. He had already walked through Nanping, and his feet were already a little unable to move.

When the soldiers heard the news, they sat down directly on the ground, never wanting to stand up again.

Qin Jing leaned up and asked, "Master, what are we going to do next?" ”

"Walk forward along the main road, at the intersection of Dayangzhuang Road in front, and wait for Deputy Division Commander Qin to lead the direct division to arrive. After the rendezvous, we will go along the main road to Banqiao together. Zhang Guangwei scolded: "Damn, I'm dead!" The top is measured with a ruler, and we measure with steps, which is really not the same thing. ”

"Why don't we find a suitable location to ambush the Third Division?" Liu Qingfan proposed.

"You said that we have the physical strength, can we still fight?" Zhang Guangwei asked rhetorically.

Qin Jing shook his head, Liu Qingfan didn't speak, and stepped aside.

The people who sent off the 31st Army were already in the sunset, and the battle was quite strange on this day, with artillery coming and going on both sides, and the soldiers were not seen. After having dinner in Yongzhen, Chen Zhengxin found Mo Di and said, "Boss, the night is long, do you want to do something for recreation." ”

Mo Di smiled: "Who do you want to fight?" ”

"Who else could it be, isn't it the Third Division? We fought for a day, tired, they not only fought for a day, but also walked for a day, they must be more tired than us, let's go to see if we can get a little cheaper at night. Chen Zhengxin said: "I also brought some tea No. 1 spray canisters, and if it really doesn't work, I spray him." ”

"Don't use this, although the war is escalating, we don't have an advantage in drugs, and if the Japanese use drugs without scruples, we will be in trouble." Mo Di said: "You can go and play, but you can't play and have an accident, take advantage of it if you have a advantage, withdraw if you don't have a advantage, Qianji must sweep the traces behind your feet, don't take the Japanese to the nest." ”

"Got it, boss, it's not the first time I've come out to rob you, and I don't understand these most basic rules." Chen Zhengxin ran out happily, but ran headlong into Zhang Kechang, the commander of the guard battalion and the director of logistics.

Zhang Kechang grabbed him and asked, "Zhengxin, are you going to go to the Japanese to get supplies?" ”

"Battalion commander, how do you know, this is really a hell." Chen Zhengxin asked.

"Such a good opportunity, if you don't get it, that's hell." Zhang Kechang said: "I will take the baggage camp with you. ”

"Take the baggage camp with you?" Chen Zhengxin shouted: "Make no mistake, big brother, this is to go to war, not to travel." ”

"Don't talk so lofty, just go to robbery and loot." Zhang Kechang said: "My people don't participate in your activities, my people only do one thing, that is, to get back what you have grabbed, let me tell you, we don't bring much food this time, don't get a little, at most three days, after three days, we will run out of food." When the time comes, starve you to death. ”

"No, it's that serious!" Chen Zhengxin asked.

"Not strange!" An invincible voice came from inside the door: "This time, we are all responsible for the logistics of the 31st Army, this time we will be scattered, we will have to raise our own funds, if we can't raise them, we will be hungry." ”

Hungry, this problem is quite serious.

Huang Tianhua and Jiang Chunyang were also talking about this issue with the three battalion commanders, and the second battalion commander Gao Guixuan opened his innocent eyes and looked at Huang Tianhua, how could there be such a thing, being a soldier and eating food, it is a matter of course, how could such a thing happen to raise food by himself, the instructor of the military academy did not say it, and he did not even talk about it in the storybook. Huang Degui pulled the clothes that Gao Gui had chosen, and asked him not to make such a fuss, now that we are behind enemy lines, do you know what is behind enemy lines? It is the rear of the enemy, this place, and the logistics department cannot replenish it even if it wants to replenish supplies.

You have to get it, this is a completely unanimous opinion, Huang Tianhua asked the noble camp to stay and guard, but was rejected by the noble election, this kind of fun thing, the high battalion commander was full of interest.

"All go, all go." Mo Enemy's words set the tone for this event, the engineer battalion and artillery battalion are working hard today, as a stay-at-home, the staff department and other departments stick to their posts, Li Songde and Jiang Chunyang are responsible for guarding the old camp, and the others are all going to go with Mo Di, but there is only one, except for Chen Zhengxin's people who are fully armed, the rest of the people will bring one less * empty-handed, and they can carry an extra pound of supplies when they come back.

Huang Tianhua laughed, this is a sign that he must succeed.

Luo Wei's reconnaissance company was the first to set off, followed by the Shizhong Special Operations Company, followed by Zhao Guolong's police company, including Mo Di and Huang Tianhua. These three companies were followed by the three main battalions and the baggage battalion, with a mighty population of more than 1,500 people, so many people went to rob, and the enemy had the feeling of three dozen Zhujiazhuang. Tell Huang Tianhua about this feeling, laugh Huang Tianhua to the point of falling, and say, if it is three dozen Zhujiazhuang, the invincible is the bantam tiger Wang Ying, the question is where to hit Hu Sanniang. Mo Die laughed and said: Lao Tzu is the worst and timely rain Song Gongming, not the lustful Wang Xiaohu. Chen Zhengxin muttered beside him, Song Gongming is a good man, but he is not as good as Wang Xiaohu, who is a good woman.

The crowd laughed.

After the Japanese occupied the large camp, they no longer had the motivation to advance, and on this day, they were also exhausted. Towards the Huai River in Bengbu, at dusk to the Suzhou camp, the artillery fire can not be kept for days, and the opponent has crossed the Wanzhong Mountain. Four tanks, seven field guns, eighty-six mountain guns, more than 400 artillery men were killed and wounded, and more than 170 sappers and ambulances were killed, and many more were wounded. After building a few pools, burning the broken jade to ashes and putting them into clay pots, it was already in the wanest. The big camp gathered the original 31st Army and became the barracks of the 3rd Division. However, a barracks of more than 10,000 people was crammed in at once, and the degree of crowding can be imagined; after redeployment, the Fifth Brigade was on the left, the 29th Brigade was on the right, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade (including armored vehicles) and the Heavy Artillery Brigade were in front, and the 3rd Engineer Wing, the 3rd Heavy Infantry Wing, and the Ordnance Service Brigade were behind. The headquarters of Fujita's 3rd Division is in the middle, which is where Zhang Guangwei's headquarters was located before.

Luo Wei's men walked around and circled the target, the 3rd Wing of the Japanese Heavy Army.

Each brigade of the Japanese army has its own baggage squadron, each wing has its own baggage squadron, and each brigade also has its own baggage squad, so the general Japanese army division and regiment can have three days of food reserves, that is, after three days of independent combat, if there is no replenishment, the Japanese army will go hungry. The 3rd Division not only had its own baggage wing, but also a large number of vehicles to transport supplies, so the grain reserves could reach five days, and it could entangle with the enemy for five days, which was a manifestation of strength. Therefore, the 3rd Wing of the Baggage Troops is quite important.

Shi Zhong said to Mo Di: I am sure, even if I can't get rid of it, I will burn this 3rd Wing. Mo Di was taken aback, this one is quite ruthless!!
