The sunshine on the winter morning lazily reflects the land of central and southern Jin, where there is still residual snow. Kosuke Otsuka's team, after a night of camping in the valley, had breakfast, and was completely refreshed. Now that the field artillery brigade has completed its deployment, the infantry Fukudaoka brigade is at the forefront, and once the artillery fire opens the gap in the far Fengdian city wall, Fukudaoka will be the first to attack.

The notice about the two-day holiday after the destruction of the city, the possibility of looting property and women, has just been conveyed, no need to ask, Otsuka Kosuke is fully aware of the excitement and urgency of his subordinates at the moment.

He set the siege time at 10 o'clock in the morning, which could allow some time for the officers and soldiers to warm up in the winter sun---- the winter in Shanxi was too cold. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the cavalry squadron came again, and they found a group of Shina troops trying to approach Fengdian Castle outside the west gate, with a small number of people, but with cars and radios, and Iwata Shaosa had already engaged in fire with them!

Otsuka was a little worried, this cavalry was the elite assigned to him by the division, and the brigade commander and the cavalry wing commander had personally told him not to let the cavalry squadron participate too much in frontal battles. Although he was still ordering Iwata Shaosa to shoot and pee on the head of Toyden Castle just now, after all, that kind of provocative little trick is not dangerous. looked at the delicate pocket watch, there was still half an hour before the siege, the wing had already been deployed, and Kosuke Otsuka was reluctant to temporarily transfer forces to make extraneous branches; What Iwata encountered should have been just a small group of stragglers of the Shina Army, so there was no need to make a big move.

"Summons Iwata Shaosa, my wing is about to attack Fengdian, just drive away the enemy by the cavalry squadron, don't entangle and pursue!"

But his order was delivered late, and Iwata's cavalry squadron had already begun to pursue.

……

What Iwata encountered was the communication squad of the 12th Brigade of the Jin Army from Wencheng and an infantry company escorting them. After the automobile soldiers and the female soldiers of the communications squad exclaimed one after another, Xiao Junping, an intelligence staff officer, also discovered the Japanese cavalry in front of him, and the white and red Rising Sun Flag standing on the head of a horse was hunting and fluttering under the light of the real Rising Sun at this moment, which was particularly conspicuous. Of course, Xiao Junping recognized it, it was the flag of the Japanese Army.

Due to the sudden encounter at close range, both sides were a little dazed, but the combat quality of the Japanese army was far superior to that of the Jin army, and they only hesitated for a moment, and then opened fire with their horse guns on their horses, and suddenly, the Jin infantry escorting the communication squad was knocked down.

After all, Xiao Junping fought in the Battle of Xinkou, and in a hurry, he pulled out his pistol, half-knelt on the ground and pulled the trigger on the opposite side, and while ordering the automobile soldiers to turn the head of the car and retreat, he ordered the infantry company commander to organize the soldiers to lie down on the spot and shoot back.

The driver's building of the car was clanged by bullets, and a windshield was drilled, but the driver gritted his teeth and turned the front of the car back, and the female soldiers screamed and climbed onto the carriage, while the Jin soldiers began to fire at the opposite side in a chaotic manner.

This encounter lasted only two minutes before the winner was decided, and the archery skills of the company of the 12th Brigade could not be described as bad, in the face of the tall devil cavalry of the target, hundreds of guns were fired in a burst, but they did not hit a few; On the contrary, the cavalry of Iwata's squadron took advantage of the rapid movement of the horses and quickly launched a fan attack stance, and the firepower was completely suppressed.

The Jin army collapsed, except for the soldiers who were killed, the rest turned around and fled in the direction they came, and the car of the communication squad had already run ahead. Xiao Junping couldn't stop the rout, and he had to follow the radio, so he had to get up and chase the car.

Iwata Shaoza had already used a telescope to observe the compartment when the car was turning around in a panic, and he quickly identified the radio station and ancillary equipment contained there, and saw clearly the soldiers who climbed into the carriage: it was a group of female soldiers!

Shao Zuo laughed cruelly, and he pointed out to the few cavalrymen gathered on the left and right:

"Oh, do you see the car of the Chinese army, there are their female soldiers on it! Give me chase! ”

The cavalry roared and rode in pursuit.

The Jin army fled in front, and the Japanese cavalry pursued behind, rushing into a dirt road in the middle of the mountains and mountains, and the dirt road with towering mountain beams and potholes on both sides led to Dawangyu.

They plunged headlong into the ambush circle of the second battalion of the Eighth Route Army.

……

According to the meaning of the deputy battalion commander Wu Zijian, he and the battalion commander Feng Changzhi led the 5th company, 6th company and 7th company to set up an ambush on the mountain beam of Dawangyu, while the instructor Liu Shu led the 8th company to stand by.

But Liu Shu insisted on following to set up an ambush, and he just couldn't swallow this breath. He knew that because he was opposed to the second battalion setting up an ambush near Fengdian last night, Wu Zijian deliberately wanted to leave him, the instructor, aside, and he absolutely could not let this deputy battalion commander be at the mercy.

As the supreme party leader of the 2nd Battalion, he has the obligation to supervise and veto any risky operations at any time, and he has to follow the instructions given to him by the leaders of the regiment, brigade, and division levels before setting out, and bring the 2nd Battalion intact into the central and southern part of Jinjin, where he will establish a base area, mobilize the masses, and expand the CCP's own armament. As for the battle against the Japanese troops who suddenly appeared, it was not in the plan of the 2nd Battalion---- he reluctantly agreed to it for the sake of the possibility of capturing the much-needed booty in this ambush.

Wu Zijian set off with the most elite 5th Company of the battalion, while Liu Shu chose to act with the 6th Company and 7th Company led by the battalion commander Feng Changzhi.

At this moment, on the mountain beam of Dawangyu, looking at the sun that had already risen, Liu Shu complained to Feng Changzhi who was lying beside him: "The three companies, lying on their stomachs for five hours, are almost freezing, even if they are devils now, can the soldiers still fight?!" This is just nonsense! I suggested that the ambush should be withdrawn immediately, and the whole battalion should be evacuated, avoiding the Japanese army, and rushing to the destination of Guanmen Mountain. ”

Feng Changzhi nested his head in the gap between the two stones, patiently lit the cigarette pouch pot with a long pole, greedily smoked a few puffs one after another, and immediately extinguished it, and then, unhurriedly, put away the cigarette pouch pot, and said to his instructor: "Wait a minute, Deputy Company Commander Xia's intelligence will not be wrong, he is a local, he climbed to the mountain last night and saw with his own eyes thousands of Japanese troops placed outside Fengdian City, presumably little Japanese are not here to exercise." ”

Liu Shu then stopped talking. Feng Changzhi is the military commander, and in terms of operations, he can not listen to Wu Zijian, but he cannot ignore the battalion commander.

In fact, Wu Zijian, who was lying a few hundred meters away, was also a little breathless at the moment, but he had the patience to set up the ambush all the time---- in Pingxingguan in September last year, Lin Shi also ambushed to the mountain beam of Guangou in the second half of the night, and the Japanese did not appear until 7 o'clock in the morning---- The problem is that in the battle of Pingxingguan, the division commander calculated that the Japanese army would reinforce the front line from that direction, so he was determined to put three regiments there and wait. But right now, there is no sound of a single shot coming from the direction of Fengdian, is the Japanese army really still under Fengdian City?

Wu Zijian was already planning to send someone to call Deputy Company Commander Xia over, he wanted Xia Lianshan to take a few people, and then go outside Fengdian City to find out. However, at this moment, there were faint gunshots and noises on the valley bottom road under the mountain beam, and they were getting closer and closer, and before the ambush people could further identify them, a figure appeared at the end of the road, and there were trucks!

Whether it is Wu Zijian, Li Tianlin, or Xia Lianshan, the moment they saw the truck, their hearts couldn't help but tremble, they all thought of Pingxingguan! In Pingxingguan, it is the truck that the devil takes the lead; It seems that the second battalion really caught up today!

The first to realize that something was wrong was still Wu Zijian, only one truck appeared in his telescope and then there was no follow-up, and it was this truck, and it was not the earthy yellow Japanese army 94 style he was familiar with.

Soon, Li Tianlin, who was also holding a telescope on the side, also muttered suspiciously, and Wu Zijian saw clearly the soldiers running around the truck: It was definitely not the outfit of the Japanese army!

"Damn, it's the national army!" This time, Li Tianlin shouted first, and at the same time patted the loess on the mountain beam with one hand in frustration: "This is not in vain!?" ”

"I can't be busy in vain!" Wu Zijian continued to hold the binoculars, and a powerful sentence came out of his mouth: "The whole company is ready to fight!" ”

There is no need for the deputy battalion commander to explain anything, the soldiers of the 5th company on the mountain beam can see without binoculars at this moment, there are hundreds of people in this running national army, and they are shooting sparsely in the direction behind them as they run. And the more dense gunfire approached more and more clearly from the direction behind them.

When this national army, including trucks, was about to enter the ambush position of the second battalion of the Eighth Route Army, the pursuers behind also showed their heads, and looking down from the mountain beam, it couldn't be clearer: it was a devil, and it was a cavalry, hundreds of cavalry!
