Scarlet Dawn Pass (1)

"This time our mission is Longzhou, according to intelligence, the strength of about one brigade of the Japanese army retreated to Longzhou, and our task is to attack and surround in a roundabout way, capture Longzhou and eliminate this brigade! Liu Xiaoshan and Huang Kesheng and I temporarily formed the Seventh Division, and the artillery regiment of the ghost artillery Wu Fatzi was under the command of the 46th Army and the 64th Army respectively! As soon as Liu Hai finished speaking, Ghost Cannon and Wu Fatzi said together, "Why do we have to borrow every time?" "Because you two artillery regiments with independent combat capabilities, this is personally determined by Chief Chen Cheng, so don't say anything!" Bangs said. "Okay!" The two of them said helplessly. "Liu Xiaoshan, your brigade is the main combat force, Huang Kesheng is responsible for fire support, the key to this operation is to be fast, so the above urgently strengthened our three hundred vehicles, so all the personnel got on the car and detoured to Longzhou at the fastest speed!" "Understood!"

Guiliu's counteroffensive operations soon launched an offensive under He Yingqin's deployment. The target of the 46th Army was Liuzhou, and the target of the 64th Army was Nanning. Liu Hai and Liu Xiaoshan belong to the subsidiary mission, to destroy the Japanese army's Hiroki Brigade alone! In this battle plan, in fact, Chen Cheng wore small shoes for Liu Hai, because Chen Cheng was dissatisfied with Liu Hai about Shen Youfa's affairs, especially the arrival of Song Ruyu, which overwhelmed Chen Cheng and made Chen Cheng feel very uncomfortable! At a deeper level, Chen Cheng didn't care about the salaries of a group of stragglers, and because of such a trivial matter, Liu Hai made a big fuss about his headquarters, making it clear that he didn't take him seriously. Chen Cheng felt that without his own promotion and care, Liu Hai would not be able to have today, and Liu Hai's behavior was simply revenge! The Hiroki Brigade attacked by Liu Hai does not look like anything, in fact, this Hiroki Brigade is not simple, this is a Japanese army unit fighting in an independent direction, all of them are veterans of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, equipped with an artillery wing, a tank brigade and four infantry wings! The brigade organized in this way is actually the strength of a division, let Liu Hai attack and destroy a Japanese division with a brigade, Chen Cheng just wants Liu Hai to suffer a loss, let him know that he is nothing without himself! Liu Hai didn't know anything about this at this time, and he didn't have any objections to the combat arrangement, because he was originally the strength of a brigade, plus the reconnaissance battalion, communications battalion, fire support battalion and the newly formed teaching battalion directly under the Fourth Army Corps, as well as Huang Kesheng's artillery regiment, the total strength exceeded the strength of a central army, and it was naturally not a good thing for such a brigade and regiment!

Liu Hai stopped on the side of the road, took out the map to look at his route, and thought in his heart that he could make a detour to Longzhou in a few days, and Song Ruyu came at this time! "Commander, I feel something is wrong!" Song Ruyu ran to Liu Hai and said, "My detection of the Japanese Hiroki Brigade found that this brigade seems to be very powerful, as if there are tanks and heavy artillery!" "It's normal for the Japanese army to have brigade-level heavy artillery in the establishment of brigades and regiments, and as for tanks, a few reinforced ones are also within the normal range!" Bangs said as he looked at the map. "But there is something strange about the establishment of this brigade, and the specific establishment has not yet been figured out, anyway, I feel that something is wrong!" Song Ruyu said, "I'll figure it out!" "Full speed ahead!" Bangs ordered. The troops went down the established circuitous route!

"Yamamoto-kun, what do you think of the counterattack of the Shina Army this time?" Kazuo Hiroki looked at his troops and asked Chief of Staff Yamamoto beside him! "This time, the target of the attack of the Chinese people is very clear, the target of the northern line is Liuzhou, and the target of the southern line is Nanning, driving us out of the country! As for the fact that we actually sent a brigade to destroy us, hehe! Yamamoto said with a smile. The morale of the people of China is now high, and they think that with some American assistance, they will be able to compete with us, and the people of China will always be China! I want to eliminate the brigade of the Chinese this time and add a little color to their counteroffensive! Kazuo Hiroki said. The brigade commander was right! After Yamamoto finished speaking, he changed his face and said, "I heard that the U.S. military has captured Iwo Jima and bombed our mainland, right?" "Yes! The stupidest thing we can do in this war is to provoke the Americans! But! Hiroki also changed his serious face, "As long as we still have a breath, we will fight for the last breath for the empire, because we are imperial soldiers!" "Hayi!" Yamamoto said immediately.

"Commander, we are now almost advancing with the Guangmu Brigade, it depends on who reaches Longzhou first, if we reach Longzhou first, we can occupy Longzhou City, cut off the retreat of the Guangmu Brigade, and encircle and eliminate it to the west of Longzhou, if they reach Longzhou first, even if we block them in the east of Longzhou, our combat method will change from annihilation to attack, which is very unfavorable to us! I want to send a force to the north to assault, occupy the Dawn Pass, and block the Japanese army with the pass, as long as we can block the other side for a day, we can occupy Longzhou first and occupy the initiative in the campaign! "Liu Xiaoshan suddenly found Liu Hai and told his plan!" This method is good, but who to send, fewer troops will not work, and more will not be conducive to later operations, and besides, it is a brigade equipped with tanks and heavy artillery of the Japanese army, which is almost a battle to the death! Bangs said in embarrassment. Just shoot the teaching battalion, the training battalion is all newly arrived students, high quality, good weapons, battalion commander Jia Yangshan is an old battalion commander, rich in actual combat experience, will definitely be able to get out! The point is that this is very beneficial for us to occupy Longzhou! Liu Xiaoshan said. Well! "Liu Hai took a closer look at the map and found that it was only less than a hundred kilometers away from Pingyang to the north of Liming Pass, if it really didn't work, you could retreat there, which was the target of the 46th Army, and in another day, the 46th Army should also conquer there!" Okay, just call Jia Yangshan and tell him that when he can't support it, he will retreat to Pingyang in the north and join the 46th Army there! Bangs said.

After Jia Yangshan received the order, he immediately began to assault the north with his troops! Jia Yangshan is very satisfied with his own teaching battalion, the students of Yishi, the officers are all Huangpu graduated officers, as well as the battalion's heavy mortar platoon and a heavy machine gun company, the amount of grenadiers and automatic equipment is not low, he knows that this is thanks to their brigade commander, even Bai Chongxi's troops are not rare elite combat battalions like this! Jia Yangshan received an order that he would go to Liming Pass to block a Japanese brigade for a day, and then withdraw to Pingyang! With the strength of a battalion to block a Japanese brigade for a day, Jia Yangshan is very confident! Because the Dawn Pass is very dangerous, and he is a fully equipped elite battalion, there should be no problem in one day! However, Jia Yangshan ignored a very important issue, that is, Liming Pass is still in the hands of the Japanese army, and the problem that Liming Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack must be realized before the Japanese army!

After Jia Yangshan arrived at Dawn Pass with his troops, he found that the terrain of Dawn Pass was really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was basically impossible to capture it if it was attacked head-on, and it would take more than 50 kilometers to make a roundabout attack in a roundabout way, and it was too late to judge it in time! Jia Yangshan did not attack, but hid the troops first, and then observed the situation at Dawn Pass by himself! By observing Jia Yangshan, it was found that five kilometers outside the Dawn Pass, there was a large convoy of Japanese troops advancing towards the Dawn Pass! "Send a company to kill that big convoy!" It's too late to think about anything, take it down first! Although Jia Yangshan knew that the Japanese army had about a squad of troops, Jia Yangshan, who had a good idea of the quality of his troops, had enough confidence to use a company to kill this large convoy!

The company quickly entered the ambush site on both sides of the road, and when the Japanese convoy passed, the company rushed down at a lightning speed, and the ammunition consumption of a few shuttles killed the Japanese team! "Change their uniforms and enter the Dawn Pass, then destroy the enemies at the pass, open the pass and let the troops in!" According to Jia Yangshan's arrangement, the company commander changed into the uniform of the Japanese army and drove the cart into the Dawn Pass with a swagger! Because it was their own people, the Japanese army did not check excessively, but only symbolically checked it, and a student soldier at the beginning made a joke with the Japanese army because he could speak a few words of Japanese, and the big convoy was put into the Dawn Pass! After entering the pass, the Japanese soldiers of more than 50 people suddenly attacked, and a few * occupied the Japanese fortifications at the pass, killed the Japanese soldiers inside, and then rushed to the pass, condescendingly used the Japanese machine guns to eliminate the Japanese troops outside the pass, and then concentrated fire to shoot the Japanese troops in the pass! "Rush in!" Jia Yangshan knew that the opportunity was rare, and rushed into the Dawn Pass with people! There was only about one squadron of Japanese troops in Dawn Pass, and under several rounds of charging and firing, the Japanese squadron was lost, the squadron leader committed suicide, and Jia Yangshan successfully occupied Dawn Pass!

However, just after Jia Yangshan occupied the Dawn Pass, the Japanese Guangmu Brigade arrived! But what shocked Jia Yangshan was that the Japanese army seemed to be fighting all the way, and all the forwards launched an offensive formation! Jia Yangshan actually didn't know that in order to carry out this counteroffensive smoothly, He Yingqin ordered local armed groups in various places to take the initiative to attack and intercept all Japanese troops who tried to flee eastward! On the way back from the Guangmu Brigade, dozens of large and small national army units rushed up to intercept it, although some only killed a few people and withdrew, but there were also the kind of heroes who would rather die than retreat, and the Japanese army charged all the way to Dawn Pass! When the Japanese army arrived at Dawn Pass, they were already tired and exhausted, so they rushed to Dawn Pass to drink and eat! But when they arrived at Dawn Pass, they found that the machine guns and fortifications of Dawn Pass were facing them!

Talking counts, the second watch has arrived!
