Chapter 4: Turning to War (9)

In the whole Tianhuangping, the most suitable for garrisoning is their old camp, if the wounded soldiers are full of camps, they don't choose their old camp to garrison, that is the biggest strange thing in the world. Thinking of this, Huang Tianhua remembered the unbridled invincible, that is the real unpredictable, far away from a hundred miles, but he can clearly determine the direction of the Japanese army's actions, and accurately predict that the Japanese army will stay overnight in the old barracks, and for this reason, hundreds of catties were buried under the barracks. For Mo Di, Huang Tianhua has admired the five bodies to the ground, Mo Di fights, has his own rules, one is not to die his own people, the second is not to let go of the enemy, the third is not in a hurry, slow work and careful work, he has a saying, Lao Tzu has a place and time, and play slowly with Little Japan.

The brothers of the engineer company, who were also talents, first dug a small trench in the ground, put the broken bamboo on both sides and put it down, put it down in the hollowed-out bamboo*, and then covered the other half of the bamboo, and then covered the earth to restore its original state. Through this kind of bamboo passage, the scattered ** is connected into a whole, as long as one * explodes, all * can explode with it, the area of the old barracks is narrower, there are more * here, and the lethality can only be greater.

At night, except for the sound of the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army in the barracks, everything else was asleep, including the things of the night tour, and the howling north wind showed the chill of winter. Huang Bamei was so nervous that she kept pacing, it was the first time she had participated in such a large-scale battle, and it was the first time she had seen her opponent step by step into the trap set by her side, and she was looking forward to the arrival of a big explosion in the middle of the night.

He Degui, the commander of the third battalion, gathered the Czechs and crooked handles of the whole battalion to form a fireteam, and took advantage of the darkness to come to the area not far from the old camp.

Xu Ping prepared his troops, and if He Degui was entangled by devils, he would immediately reinforce and save the fireteam.

As the minutes passed, everyone had long forgotten the biting cold wind and the tiredness of the cold night, and their eyes were staring at the sky, hoping to see the bullet tracks across the sky earlier.

Five shining arcs streaked across the sky, followed by a dull explosion that stood particularly piercing in the night sky. Five more explosions, followed by an earth-shattering explosion, the sound of the explosion had not yet subsided, the fierce machine gun guns were as crisp and pleasant as the sound of firecrackers for the New Year, and in less than ten minutes, the gunfire stopped, and everything returned to calm.

In this quarter of an hour, the old barracks were turned from the world into hell, and the wails and screams were endless, and occasionally scattered gunshots could be heard, that is, the wounded Japanese soldiers could not stand the torture of their wounds, and committed suicide by swallowing their guns.

Xi Duo San shrank himself tightly under the bed at the first cannon sound, this trick allowed him to dodge the bombardment of * buried in the yard, and also dodged He Degui's inhuman machine gun bullets, and only when everything was calm back did he crawl out from under the bed, everything outside stunned him.

After counting, it was bombed twice, 600 people were shattered, the number of injured reached more than 900 people, and there were less than 500 people who were completely undamaged.

Hearing such news in the middle of the night, the brigade commander Yamashita Chongwu was speechless for a while, and finally, told the Hibido three to be on strict alert, and after dawn, let people send the wounded back to Anji, and ordered 800 people from the third brigade of the 56th Wing of Anji's left-behind troops to immediately reinforce Tianhuangping.

The next day, seeing the Japanese army who had changed their guards, Xu Ping smiled and told Huang Bamei that he was going out, Anji, there were only hundreds of logistics personnel without strategy and more than 900 wounded soldiers, and if he didn't take it perfectly, it would be an insult to himself. Huang Bamei thought about it and said, I asked Liu Ke to cooperate with Xu Ping here, and I took those who couldn't help to Anji to work as porters.

Xu Ping smiled, porter, this is very important, it is estimated that it is far from enough to rely on his own hundred or so people plus Huang Bamei's hundred or so people. The surrounding villagers all ran up the mountain, and even if the Japanese army's logistics replenishment station was knocked down, it was really not a simple matter to evacuate it.

When the reinforcements arrived, Xiduo San's confidence was much stronger, and he sorted out in Tianhuangping, preparing to kill the mountains in the south.

The commander of the 35th Brigade on the West Road, Yamashita Chongwu, found a huge problem after guiding the 56th Wing of Tianhuangping, Xiaofeng turned out to be an empty city. The city is ready for battle, with trenches, firing stacks, anti-tank ditches, and even the low city walls have been reinforced, with sandbags and rolling stones.

Looking at the formation in front of him, Yamashita Chongwu's heart shook violently, from the point of view of the defensive fortifications, this is by no means an ordinary bandit straggler, there are heavy machine gun positions, there are artillery positions, there are interceptions and depth, this is a standard national defense force, it is the Chinese government army, and it is a very powerful army, what kind of troops, how many numbers, where have they gone, Yamashita Chongwu has a stomach, and sent reconnaissance troops to investigate around.

The scouts who sold Rendan soon got the news that a Gui army, numbered 48th Army, had been stationed here, and because of the heavy losses in the Battle of Songhu, it was repaired here, and it was also waiting for supplies from Guangxi. Yesterday, I was still in Xiaofeng Town to make a big fight with the invading Japanese army, but I didn't expect that one night, all the people disappeared without a trace, it seemed that they knew that they were invincible and ran away. The people shook their heads, saying that this group of soldiers was very poor, and sometimes they went to the mountains to hunt and eat meat, and they had never bought meat from the common people.

Yamashita Chongwu laughed loudly, waved his sword, and entered the city, Xiaofeng Castle bowed his head under the iron hooves of the Japanese army.

If Yamashita Chongwu knew that this Xiaofeng City was deliberately left to them by the 48th Army, it is estimated that the laughter would not be so refreshing. If Yamashita Chongwu knew that the 48th Army had already set up a position in Baofu, thirty miles away from Xiaofeng, and was waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army, Yamashita Chongwu didn't know if he could laugh.

Xu Ping had just left Yu Qian, Li Benyi asked people to remove the hot pot, put the teapot on the three bricks, and after a while, the rich tea was poured up. After taking a sip of strong tea, Mo Di raised his head and said to Zhao Guolong, the commander of the guard platoon behind him: "Let the confidential officer contact the brigade headquarters and report the summary of our regiment's battle plan." ”

"Yes!" Before Zhao Guolong could walk to the door, the confidential officer walked in, holding a piece of translation paper in his hand and handing it to Mo Di.

Mo Di took it, glanced at it hastily, handed it to Li Benyi, and said, "Brother Li Guang, take a look, do you have any suggestions." ”

Li Benyi looked at it carefully, shook his head, and said, "There's no problem, at least I can't see it." ”

Mo Di smiled faintly and said, "The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, nothing more than this, there is indeed no problem." It's just that in this way, even if the Japanese army can be blocked under Xiaofeng City, I am afraid that the 48th Army will not have too many people left. ”

Li Benyi looked at Mo Di in puzzlement, and said: "If you fight, you will die, as long as you can stop the Japanese, it will be worth killing as many people as you want." ”

"Brother Li Guang, is this what you really think?" Mo Di said: "First, why do we have to die, second, why do we have to block the Japanese army, and third, since Nanjing can be lost, why do we have to keep a small Xiaofeng!" ”

Li Benyi didn't speak, he looked at Mo Di strangely, he had never thought about these questions, in his mind, there was only one thought, that is: soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty. After hesitating for a while, he asked in a low voice, "Tianzong, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"Good ideas can't be said, just rough assumptions." Mo Di habitually lowered his head again: "On the way to you, I walked through a mountain road, about thirty miles away from Xiaofeng, and it is a place called Xuling, near Baofu Village. The terrain is dangerous, and it is a good place for ambushes, with no depth or expansion, and the road is narrow and bending, and there is not even a flat ground to charge. There, the Japanese tanks could not be spread at all, and the artillery could not hit far, and the Japanese army's advantage was not obvious, so we could only fight with our soldiers against generals, but we had the advantage of being the first to come, and we had the advantage of waiting for work at ease, and we had the strength of numbers, so we should be able to have a good entanglement with the Japanese, and maybe we could achieve a small victory. ”

"Then you don't say it to the peak." Li Benyi said anxiously.

Mo Di smiled: "I don't know if I should say it or not." ”

"Why don't you say it?" Li Benyi was completely unaware of Mo Di's thoughts, he was a pure soldier and never hid in front of his superiors.

"I'm worried about whether it will look like a dog is nosy with rats!" Mo Di said: "The last time I was in Liuxing, I went to take over the position of the 170th Division, because I didn't fight according to Shangfeng's intentions, I was almost not shot, and since then, I have begun to keep a certain distance from Shangfeng, and I generally don't say anything that I can say or not." ”

"Tianzong, I have also heard about you, our army commander Zhou Zuhuang scolded Li Pinxian at a meeting above the army level, saying that he was jealous of talents, small belly chicken intestines, if you dare to do something to you, you can't say it, the Seventh Army returned to Nanning and said to Commander Li Zongren." Li Benyi said: "I was very much in favor of you doing this, and I was not angry with you, knowing that you were uncomfortable, I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you several times, and I forgot about it. I didn't expect this thing to still haunt you. Tianzhong, it's not right for you to think like this, our army is a whole, the so-called pulling a trigger and moving the whole body, taking the lead in one move, taking the lead step by step, and being beaten step by step if one step behind. In the Battle of Songhu, if it weren't for the fact that the General Staff Department treated the central army and the local army differently, guarded against each other and involved each other, how could it have been so defeated? I admit that I am not as good as you in the war, but I have one thing that is better than you, that is, the overall consciousness of the whole army, and I will fulfill the orders of the upper peak to the letter, whether it is for me to go to the fire or jump into the river. Tianzhong, whether you think right or not, you should first tell Shangfeng that the commanders are all veterans on the battlefield, although they can't think comprehensively for a while, they will definitely distinguish between the good and the ugly of the plan. ”

Mo Di looked at Li Benyi, who was spitting and excited in front of him, and he didn't expect that this good old man would tell such a big paragraph, and after a long time, the shadow that remained in Mo Di's mind was not solved by Zhang Guangwei in Jiaxing that day, but disappeared completely in Li Benyi's incoherent speech. Mo Di nodded heavily, and said to the operator: "Please record, Zhi Mo Di thinks that it is really unwise and disadvantageous to fight with the Japanese army in Xiaofeng and put our army under the threat of Japanese aircraft, tanks, and artillery. He believed that the most ideal battlefield was for the Gulling, which was more than 30 miles away from Xiaofeng, and our army withdrew from Xiaofeng, set up an ambush at the Suleng, and then introduced the Japanese army, which could be attacked in one fell swoop. At that time, the Japanese tanks and artillery could not succeed, and the only way to fight with our army with flesh and blood was to occupy a favorable geographical advantage and should be able to win the battle. I took the record of the telegrapher, read it again, changed two words, and said: "Send it to the brigade headquarters immediately and hand it over to the commander Ling for receipt." ”

"Yes!" The operator walked out.

Li Benyi shouted happily: "Come on, put the hot pot on the table for me again, today Lao Tzu is happy, I want to drink, I want to get drunk, Lao Tzu's brother, finally grow up!" Hahahaha! ”

Looking at Li Benyi, who was completely out of shape, Mo Di smiled, he knew that if he took a step forward, this brother would be so happy, even happier than himself, this is a brother, a real brother.
