Chapter 11: Wild Supplement (88)
Mo Di did not intend to leave Kazuo Aoki in the east of Anhui Shui, he was not a person who was greedy for merit, he knew what the concept of nearly 700 Japanese troops was, and he also understood how much combat power the 700 Japanese troops on the verge of desperation would burst out. Although his two battalions were not weak in numbers, they also had four Type 92 infantry guns, and on the whole, their troops were slightly stronger than the Japanese troops in front of them. However, if you want to take down the 700 or so Japanese troops in front of you, I am afraid that it will also be the result of the fish and the net being broken, and there is no need to fight with the Japanese army when you have the upper hand at present. Therefore, his instructions to Ouyang Jin were not to seal the head or block the tail, so that the Japanese army could pass quickly, and only needed to peel off a layer of skin on the Japanese army.
Ouyang Jin, as the commander of the first battalion of the main force of the field supplement regiment, completely and thoroughly understood the invincible way of thinking, and carried out this task to the letter. He placed his troops on the hillside 200 meters away from the embankment, and condescended to block the embankment. When the Japanese troops passed in front of them, they did not charge, but used crutches and 38 rifles and grenadiers to just shoot indiscriminately in the direction of the Japanese army's march, 200 meters is the effective shooting range, but not the best shooting distance.
In this way, the strengths and weaknesses of the soldiers are revealed. Ouyang Jin's battalion, the best execution of the order, the highest rate of fire, the 38 rifle is basically in a firing state at all times, after fighting a *, will be the first time to replace the new *, continue to shoot, as for the effect of the strike, they do not pay much attention, their purpose is to play momentum, play density, even if they can't kill the Japanese army, they have to scare them. Nong Ruyong's Eighth Company, the speed of shooting is relatively slow, they are basically developed in Zhong Liangzhong's heavy firepower company, pay attention to accuracy, although all equipped with Japanese-style 38 rifles, but they use the effect of Russian-style water beads, slow aiming, methodical firing, each bullet can basically hit a Japanese soldier, regardless of casualties. Nong Ruyonglian's combat methods made Huang Yingyi's temporary recruit supplementary company brothers look at it difficult to be pretentious, and they can kill people to fight, and they can do it so calmly. Huang Yingyi's recruit supplementary company, from beginning to end, they did not let go of a shot, not that they did not dare to let go, but they did not have a chance, and finally aimed at a target, and just wanted to shoot, but they were already preempted, so they had to put down the gun, and secretly sighed that their skills were not as good as others. The biggest thing for them was the Type 92 infantry shells that fell in the ranks of the Japanese army, which had no warning or regularity at all, and fell indiscriminately in the ranks of the Japanese army, blowing up the whole team in a mess and running around. In such a chaotic situation, it is not an ordinary difficulty for soldiers who have not undergone special training to hit a target.
The Japanese army knew that at this time, they could only pass quickly to get them out of this passive situation. They bent their waists and tried to minimize their chances of being targeted. The people around him kept falling, and those who didn't fall completely ignored it, just speeding up their own traffic. Flying out of Ouyang Jin's flanking position, Kazuo Aoki, who escaped, counted the number of people, and there were only about 400 people left, including some slightly injured people. Kazuo Aoki couldn't help but feel sad, more than 200 people did not cross the pontoon bridge, more than 700 people crossed the pontoon bridge, and after a series of blows, the more than 700 people who crossed the pontoon bridge had already lost two-fifths of their men and horses, and most importantly, all the personnel of the confidential department were shattered, so that there was not a single telegraph machine around him, he could not receive information from friendly troops, nor could he receive instructions from his superiors, let alone report his situation to his superiors and obtain tactical guidance, in short, he became deaf and dumb. Kazuo Aoki looked at the mountain that made him heartbroken, looked at the corpses outside the embankment, and had the heart to fight back, but he knew that he was invincible, so he didn't dare to slack off, and took the remnants of the men and horses to reinforce Duxiu Mountain.
Seeing Kazuo Aoki leaving, Ouyang Jin did not pursue, and let the troops attack and clean up the battlefield with guns.
Soon, the death toll of the Japanese army was counted, except for those who died along the river embankment, they continued to Duxiu Mountain. The number of more than 400 people was reported to Luo Wei at the first time, and whether they would make some more cheap money on the road was decided by Luo Wei, Jiang Chunyang, Peng Wu, Long Yingyun and Zhong Liang.
Tan Heyi, who entered Meicheng, knew that the Japanese puppet army fled in two directions, the puppet army went to the direction of Yujing, and the Japanese army moved south along the west bank of Anhui River, thinking that this was the best time to beat the water dogs. He himself led Wu Tinghuan's battalion to defend Meicheng City, Wei Zhigao led Pang Fengqing's battalion to repair the pontoon bridge blown up by Wanshui as soon as possible, and Yang Chuangqi led Cheng Wannian's battalion to pursue Liu Maizai in the direction of Yujing. At the same time, Qin Zhenyuan of the 526th Regiment led Li Shuyu's battalion south along the west bank of Anhui River, and it was necessary to catch up with the remnants of the lone Japanese army and eliminate them on the spot.
Expanding the results of war and increasing the merits of war is the favorite thing of all units and units. Yang Chuangqi knew that no more than 200 people who escaped from Meicheng with Liu Maizai fled in a hurry, and some soldiers were even empty-handed, and they didn't even bring weapons, and they led a battalion of people, with momentum like a rainbow, to catch up with such a group of remnants and take them down, effortlessly. Compared with Liu Maizai, the biggest advantage is that the current Yujing is controlled by himself, and before Peng Wuying left a platoon to guard Yujing, and also took care of the wounded in the previous Yujing battle. Yang Chuangqi telegraphed to the defenders of Yujing to immediately collect the ferries in Wanshui, block the river, and prevent the boats from appearing on the west bank of Wanshui. As long as Liu Maizai is trapped west of Wanshui, he can calmly catch it and eliminate it smoothly. Liu Maizai is the main leader of this attack on Qianshan, except for Kazuo Aoki ranking second, being able to take down Liu Maizai is definitely a great achievement.
Qin Zhenyuan knew that he was chasing a group of lone Japanese soldiers, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, the Japanese army is a wolf, the wolves are terrible, and the lone wolf should not be underestimated, especially a group of Japanese soldiers who have fallen into a dead situation, they can completely glow with the strongest fighting spirit and combat power, and they must be careful, and they must not overturn the big ship in the gutter.
The two group leaders each have their own ghosts in their hearts, along the Anhui River, one to the north and the other to the south.
The whereabouts of the Japanese puppet army are easy to inquire, how long ago, how many Japanese puppet troops passed from where, and the result can be obtained by asking. The Japanese troops who fled south basically did not leave Anhui, the Japanese are road idiots, if there is no one to guide, they do not know where they are at ease, where they are going, they have the heart to find a local to ask, helplessly the language is not understood, want to write a few Chinese hooks, and most of the people are illiterate, so they have to go downstream along the river. They knew that they would be able to find a ferry boat in the small city about ten miles south along the river, and that they would be able to find a ferry in the small city, and that they would be able to find the way to the three bridges, and that when they reached the three bridges, they would be able to meet up with the chief of Aoki.
Liu Maizai is completely different, he knows that Yujing is already in the hands of the other party, and he dares to go to Yujing like this, which is tantamount to door-to-door delivery, so he followed the mountain road and ran to the southern foot of Dabie Mountain, until he reached the tip of Xiaoling, only to find a fishing boat in the back river in the upper reaches of Anhui and cross the river to reach the tank ridge. When Yang Chuangqi arrived at Yujing, he found that Liu Maizai had not passed through the Yujing ferry, and was surprised. Yang Chuangqi ordered the troops to chase quickly, but Liu Maizai was already a frightened bird, running under the wind, when Yang Chuangqi's troops chased to the head of the ridge, Liu Maizai had already entered Yuantan, and the defender Sun Quanlian converged.
Seeing that Yang Chuangqi's pursuers had crossed the ridge, Sun Quan told Liu Maizai that with Yuantan's combat strength, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the army, and the best plan was to abandon Yuantan and return to Gaohebu. Liu Maizai also knew that he was forced to retreat from Meicheng, the attack had failed, Sun Quan's department stretched out Yuantan, which was to cooperate with Meicheng Yujing, but now Meicheng Yujing has been lost, Yuantan is isolated, I am afraid that it will not last long, it is better to retreat with the trend, so that I can have a guard along the way, so I agreed to Sun Quan's suggestion.
When Sun Quan and Liu Maizai retreated to the chessboard, Yang Chuangqi entered Yuantan and reported to the division to play Kai.
Zhang Jinfu of the chessboard didn't say a word, packed his luggage, and retreated to Gaohebu with Liu Maizai, without Yuantan, there was no need for the chessboard to be stationed at all. It's just that in the first minute of retreating, Zhang Jinfu sent Liu Maizai to the chessboard, and the news that all the defenders of Yuantan on the chessboard had retreated to Gaohebu was unbeatable.
At this time, Mo Di had already led his troops to walk across the pontoon bridge repaired by Wei Zhigao and returned to Meicheng, when the confidential personnel handed Zhang Jinfu's telegram to Mo Di, Mo Di was drinking tea with Tan Heyi, and sighed at what happened to Qin Zhenyuan on the South Road.
After receiving the telegram, Tan Heyi ordered Yang Chuangqi to occupy the chessboard, garrison on the spot, and form a horn with the garrison of the 528th Regiment in Qingcaochang, and sent forward troops to garrison Mamiao to monitor the whereabouts of Liu Jinbu, a puppet army in Gaohebu.
On the other hand, Qin Zhenyuan's tracking is much easier than Yang Chuangqi, the Japanese army is not Chinese, his appearance and behavior are too special, and everywhere he goes, he leaves his own traces. Qin Zhenyuan followed the footsteps of the Japanese army all the way until he found the enemy at the fork of the Xiajiazhou River.
A small river from Meicheng flows into Anhui in Xiajiazhou, forming a dead end by land. The Japanese army went south along the Anhui River, narrowing it further and wider, and finally trapped at the mouth of the Sancha River. Although the river volume has been greatly reduced in late autumn, most people will not have the courage to swim across the biting water without a boat.
Just when Qin Zhenyuan saw that the Japanese army was cornered, he thought that he could take a surprise in time, but he didn't want to be ambushed by the Japanese army.
The Japanese army stranded on the west bank of Anhui before had a squadron and a half, about 270 people, and returned to attack Meicheng, and was packed up by Cheng Wannian's battalion at the gate of Dongcheng, and there were about 230 people who escaped from Meicheng. Qin Zhenyuan only led one battalion, in his opinion, this group of Japanese troops was already at the end of the crossbow, and they would be defeated if they did not attack, and they would not have too much counterattack power, so as soon as they saw the Japanese army appear at the mouth of the Sancha River, they immediately rushed forward.
Qin Zhenyuan didn't expect that the pursuers he led had long been looked at by the Japanese army. Seeing the Sancha estuary in front of them, the Japanese army knew that it would be difficult for them to get out if they were not here to fight with the pursuers, so they left two squads at the Sancha estuary as bait, and the other two squads had secretly moved to the side of Xiajiazhou. When Qin Zhenyuan's big charge began, two squads came out from the side and threw Qin Zhenyuan's team into chaos.
A scuffle.
Qin Zhenyuan has a large number of people and plenty of ammunition. The Japanese army traveled lightly this time, and the ammunition was limited, and as a cover in the west of Anhui, some ammunition was knocked out, and in the confrontation between the east gate of Meicheng and the Cheng Wannian battalion, it consumed most of its own medicine, and after two rows of guns were fired at the mouth of the Sancha River, the Japanese army began hand-to-hand combat with guns. Qin Zhenyuan was yelling: "Don't fight hand-to-hand with little Japan, kill them with bullets, kill them with bullets." ”
The two sides fought for nearly an hour with guns and knives, and the Japanese army did not have a single living mouth except for seventy or eighty people who had good water quality and jumped into Anhui to borrow water to escape. Qin Zhenyuan saw that his troops were not much better, sacrificing 82 people, wounding 136 people, and more than two-thirds of the casualties, Qin Zhenyuan himself was stabbed by the Japanese army, picking a hole in his left arm, and bleeding a lot.
Sitting on the ground, Qin Zhenyuan remembered a sentence of the art of war: Poor Kou Mo chases. knew that he had committed a taboo in the army, so that he would lose his soldiers, and even if he won, it would be a tragic victory.
