Chapter 3: The Enemy (6)

The 1056th Regiment, under the leadership of the regiment commander Mo Di, went to Tanjiaqiao to cover the retreat of the 170th Division.

The 170th Division, under the leadership of division commander Xu Qiming, fought even harder, four regiment commanders died, five died, and one was a regimental deputy. Even the commander of the 510th Brigade, Pang Hanzhen, was killed in the intensive artillery fire.

The 170th Division is the eldest son of the Seventh Army, and the division commander is concurrently served by the deputy commander of the Seventh Army, and similarly, Luo Huo, the deputy commander of the 170th Division, is also the commander of the 509th Brigade, and the commander of another brigade is Pang Hanzhen. After taking over the position of Li Wenbu of the 78th Division of the First Army in Liu Xing, he found that everything that could be used in this place was exhausted by the First Army. The fortifications all collapsed, and there were no materials for making the cave, and the 170th Division could only collide with the steel of the Japanese with flesh and blood.

After receiving the order to cover the retreat of the 170th Division, Mo Di carefully discussed with Qin Zhenyuan and Huang Tianhua, who believed that since the purpose was to cover the retreat, it was only necessary to transfer the enemy at the appropriate time and make way for the opposing troops, and then the enemy would not take the opportunity to cover up. As for diverting the enemy, there are many ways, and the most stupid one is to fight the enemy. Qin Zhenyuan laughed and said, Whampoa elite, really smart, I think so too! Mo Di also smiled and said, the pair of opponents in front of him, whether it is the national army or the Japanese army, are tired soldiers who have been fighting for several days, compared to us, if nothing else, even if they can run past them, since this is the case, let's play. This operation against Japan was the first time we had encountered the enemy, and my request was not high, that is, to get back at least 100 Japanese rifles with unlimited ammunition, and to replace one of our companies with a Japanese weapons company. Longzhou's fast rifles are really not easy to use, and the bullets from above and below are not enough, if we arm two battalions with guns and ammunition from above and down, and the other battalion uses Japanese weapons, it is estimated that we can solve the problem of insufficient ammunition. Qin Zhenyuan looked at Mo Di in surprise, his boss, he didn't go to war yet, he wanted to seek other people's things, there is a way to eat in the bowl and look at the pot, there are really such people.

It took a day, Mo Di and Huang Tianhua took the guards out and walked around, and they had a bottom of the position in front of them, the position of the 170th Division was basically on the line from Liu Xing to Luodian, this line was covered with a dense water network, and various ponds and channels became the only conditions that Mo Di could use.

Let the guard platoon a boy, hide the battle plan in a sealed bamboo tube, with a reed in his mouth, and dive from the water to the division headquarters of the 170th Division, which was surrounded by the Japanese regiments, and report the battle plan of the invincible. After getting the invincible plan, the chief of staff of the 170th Division couldn't help but applaud, this chief of staff is called Lu Tingxuan, a native of Yongchun (Luancheng, Hengxian County), Guangxi, graduated from the second phase of Huangpu, and called the division commander Xu Qiming and the deputy division commander Luo Huo over, saying: "The 1056 regiment, this Mo Tianzong, really has the wisdom of Zhuge , the plan is one after another, interlocking, not bad!" If we follow this plan, we will not only be able to withdraw from our positions in a dashing manner, but we will also be able to bite the Japanese back. ”

Xu Qiming looked at it seriously and said: "Organize an assault team to concentrate the ammunition of the whole division, and finally cooperate with the 1056 Regiment and other troops to withdraw on time as planned." ”

Luo Huo said: "Okay, I'm in charge of leading the commando, lama, if I don't bite him hard tonight, I won't let go." ”

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the bitterness and heaviness of the past few days were swept away, not at all like the remnants of the hard battle for several days.

Just when the 170th Division headquarters was laughing, Xu Le set off with a company of soldiers, their destination was the contact department of the enemy and us, piecemeal, killed a few Japanese, brought back clothes and equipment, and the boss wanted to use it. Xu Le lived up to his expectations, went out for three hours, and got back more than 20 sets of clothing and equipment, including a Shaozuo's belongings. Mo Di took out the Paisi in Xiao Zuo's pocket, glanced at it, and said, "Yamano Shaozhi, this name is a bit stupid!" The people of the mountains and wilderness, lack of wisdom, it is inevitable, the second brigade of the seventh wing of the sixth brigade of the ninth division, the chief of the communications section. Yes, the position is not high, the level is not low. Grandma's, it's just that the clothes stink a little. ”

Changing the clothes of Yamano Shaozhi on himself, the length and size are quite appropriate, Qin Zhenyuan laughed and said that this costume was completely customized for the group seat.

The blood on the ground could not stop the coming of the sunset, and soon it was dusk, only to see Liu Xing intersection, swaggering past a group of Japanese soldiers, the first a short Shaozuo, thick lips and protruding eyes, a thief posture, a pinch of beard sticky under the nose, it was the invincible Mo Tianzong. In two consecutive checkpoints, he used proficient Japanese to deal with the past, and his target was the headquarters of the 6th Brigade under the 9th Division. Guard platoon commander Zhao Guolong led a team of people wearing Japanese clothes, indescribably awkward, the Japanese 38 guns in his hands are good, much more beautiful than Longzhou Kuaili, whether it is workmanship or materials, they are not the same, smooth handle, blue gun body, easy rebound bolt, trigger that is about to fire, sharp bayonet, yellow and clear bullets, thick cloth armed belt leather cartridges, everything is so exquisite.

"We have to find the secret communication office of the devils and smash the confidential office, and they will be chaotic if they are not messed up." Mo Di knew that he had a faction in his hand, and he could go to this place without hindrance. He had heard Instructor Gangtian say on more than one occasion that the Japanese army's radio could call and talk within a radius of 30 km, and that the equipment had been equipped to the brigade level, and that the Japanese army's large corps was very dependent on radio because of its operational coordination, and that without radio, it would fall into a situation where soldiers could not find officers and officers. It's easy to find out where this radio is, and that's the antenna, an antenna like a bamboo branch that has dropped a leaf, and as long as it's a pile of antennas, it's where the secret is.

With this explanation, it is much easier to find a confidential place, the location of the confidential office is in an old-fashioned courtyard in the rear, the security work is really in place, three steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, if it is not for the mountain and the young wisdom of the mountain and the enemy fluent Japanese, it is difficult to mix in this place.

After inspecting Yamano Shaozhi's Paiji for the last time, Mo Di and his group walked into the gate easily, it was time to eat, and people lined up in the courtyard on the side to eat rice balls, and some Japanese were still singing, thanking God for giving them food and food. As Mo Di entered the confidential room, Mo Di was stunned, and the soldiers even entered the Grand View Garden, and more than a dozen walkie-talkies were set up, the red and blue lights flashed non-stop, and the whole room was full of scientific and technological habits. There were only three people in front of the machines, and the other seats were empty, so everyone remembered that when they came in just now, they were eating outside, and there were people who greeted Mo Di and beckoned him to eat.

Zhao Guolong rushed to the person on duty with a few people, killing a few Japanese without saying a word, and the others began to destroy the machine in front of him. The way of destroying the machine is very rough and meticulous, you can't smash it, you can't make a big noise, you have to make the machine unusable for a day and a half days, cut all the threads, put all the small objects in a sack and throw them away, it's the end of the work.

After the work was over, only Mo Di swaggered out of the door, and the others came out of the back window.

Walking out of the courtyard of the confidential place, the next thing is to run for your life. When he broke up with Xie Dingxin, the map of the Baoshan area of Shanghai drawn by the head of Xie became the guide of this operation, and the people who participated in the operation knew that going back was the front line, going forward was the rear of the enemy, and the way of retreat was to the south, there was a small river in the south, called Yunzaobang, after finding the small river, find a way to cross to the other bank, and then go upstream, not far back to Nanxiang. Deputy Head Qin and Qin Jishi Jiang Chunyang and others will wait there for the day, retreat after three days, and those who do not arrive within three days will be treated as martyrs.

Directly Mo ran for almost five hundred meters before he heard a shrill siren from behind him.

Instructor Okada said that the Japanese military would sound the siren, a hand-cranked tweeter, in the event of the most urgent incident. As soon as the siren is sounded, a shrill and strange scream is emitted, and all units hear the siren and must quickly move closer to the command headquarters. The destruction of the confidential department is not trivial, and Mo Wei estimated that the Japanese would definitely sound the alarm, and sure enough, it sounded.

Mo Di breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Guolong: "Take a break, it's okay, as soon as this play sounds, you can watch the show." ”

Luo Huo was the first to hear the siren, and he firmly remembered what Mo Di said in the plan, as soon as the alarm sounded, he would immediately counterattack, let the 170th Division Mountain Artillery Battalion aim at the place where the siren sounded, shoot out the shells, and then retreat. When the mountain artillery stopped, it was the time for the assault team to set off.

At this time, all the Japanese positions on the front line from Luodian to Liuhang were inexplicably attacked, and it was completely unknown where and how the enemy came from. The position was full of ghostly men stripped down to only a pair of pants, who emerged from the river, fired two shots, and then sank to the bottom of the water, looking for an opportunity to remove the bullets from the dead Japanese, and then disappeared without a trace. When we saw a raging fire coming out of the logistics and fuel depot of the tank wing, and the fierce sound of shells and explosions of shells came from the positions of the 9th artillery wing, the 6th brigade was immediately in chaos.

Luo Huo fought with the Japanese for so many days, and never felt that the Japanese were so unhelpful, and he rushed over with a commando, and even killed a battalion like Gan Xingba back then, and then killed back, still easily, until the bullets ran out of bullets, and the bayonet killed the corner, and he killed until he couldn't find a living Japanese in front of him. When he returned to his position and found that the building had already been emptied, Xu Qiming took the remnants of the 170th Division and withdrew cleanly, along with the corpses of his fallen comrades. Luo Huo remembered the sentence that Mo Di repeatedly explained in the plan: Don't fall in love with the war, organize the commando team and retreat to Jiading. In this battle, the Luohuo commando slaughtered 720 Japanese soldiers, only 3 of them were sacrificed and 31 were wounded, which can be described as a complete victory.

Within the three-day period, the various units of the 1056 Regiment on the mission returned to Nanxiang one by one, sacrificing one person and wounding 173 people, of which 22 were seriously wounded. The one who sacrificed was not killed by the Japanese army, but raped the Japanese female nurse in the hospital directly under the 9th Division, but he didn't expect the female nurse to hide a sharp scalpel in her hand.

Xu Ping, Xu Le, Chen Zhengxin, Lan Daigang and others who led the team, talked about the process of completing the task, all of them danced with their eyebrows, sneaked in from the rivers and canals, and started in the chaos, the practice was the same as the bandits in the mountains, and the militia gangsters were handy, but they saw a big living person dying in their own hands, and they were a little unaccustomed at first, and then they killed a few more, and some habits became natural. Xu Ping said that the Japanese have a dull body and can't dodge bullets, just like hunting wild ducks by the river, Lan Daigang said, the Japanese clothes are not good, the is yellow, and it is particularly conspicuous in the sunset, and one shot is accurate. Li Baicheng didn't have time to brag to them, he got back 20 or so grenadiers that the soldiers called hand cannons, and was studying how to get a hand cannon platoon as a fire support for the whole battalion.

Only Mo Di was unhappy, and he thought that he had won the battle, and the most important thing he knew was that he was severely criticized by the headquarters of the 21st Group Army. First of all, compared with Xie Dingxin's two regiments, one is like a rainbow of war and earth-shattering, and the other is a rooster and dog thief, and the whole regiment herds sheep. Secondly, the attack was delayed, the fighters were delayed, and according to the requirements, the position of the 170th Division had to be taken over by 24 o'clock on October 22, but it was delayed until the afternoon of October 23, so the 170th Division was stranded, causing serious consequences for the sacrifice of Pang Hanzhen, the commander of the 510th Brigade. Third, it took matters into its own hands, abandoned its position, and ordered it to take over from the 170th Division to hold its position strictly, instead of responding to the 170th Division and covering the retreat of the 170th Division. It was fortunate that the enemy's 6th Brigade was in great confusion and did not take the opportunity to occupy the position, otherwise, it would be impossible to escape the death penalty.

Fortunately, Xu Qiming, deputy commander of the 7th Army and commander of the 170th Division, repeatedly interceded and repeatedly analyzed the correctness of Mo Enemy's move, so he was exempted from military law.

The only thing that made Mo Di happy was that this time, more than 300 38 rifles with more than 50,000 rounds of ammunition were recovered, and it could be considered that each battalion was equipped with a Japanese weapons company, which basically achieved the pre-war goal.

More than half of the casualties of the 48th Army retreated to the south of Taihu Lake to recuperate, and the 1056th Regiment retreated to Jiaxing.
