Chapter 793: The Situation of Both Sides!
"Pass my orders, fire with all your might, and be sure to leave this damn little devil cavalry here. ”
On the left side of the pigeon's mouth, located in the second half of the highland, and also on the highest mountain bag in the pigeon's mouth, in the temporary headquarters of the building, Zhang Qingshan took a telescope and observed the tragic situation of the little devil cavalry, and immediately ordered an attack.
"Wait a minute!"
Tian Guozhong on the side hurriedly stopped: "Lao Zhang, let's expose all our firepower for the sake of these dozens of little devil cavalry, it's a bit worth the loss!"
"Do you think that even if we don't fire now, the little devil won't be able to guess?"
Tian Guozhong was speechless.
The little devils are not stupid, and they found that there were a lot of mines buried in the pigeon's mouth, and they couldn't tell that there was an ambush in it if they wanted to kill them.
However, after thinking a little about what Tian Guozhong just said, Zhang Qingshan gave an order to the herald: "Change the previous order, order the second battalion and the first company to defend with all their strength, and wait for the opportunity to fire." Order the 2nd and 3rd Companies of the 2nd Battalion to open fire with all their might, and be sure to keep this little devil cavalry here as much as possible. The first battalion was ordered not to open fire at will without an order, and at the same time, except for the third company of the battalion, which continued to defend on the position, the rest of the men were ready to move and make a detour to touch the little devil's buttocks. ”
"Yes!"
Since the establishment of the assault regiment, it has been less than half a year, and it has focused its main energy on the three aspects of soldiers, weapons, and food, and many details still cannot be satisfied. For example, short-distance telephone lines that can be laid on the battlefield, not to mention telephone lines in assault regiments, do not even have telephones. And this time the county seat of Sanqiao County was taken, although a large number of telephone lines and several telephones were seized, but because they came in a hurry, they had not had time to lay them at all, and they did not have time to lay them. Therefore, within the assault regiment now, those who are a little closer rely on running, and those who are a little farther away, such as passing orders to the battalion opposite, still rely on flag soldiers to deliver messages.
"Hit!"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
"Da! da! da......"
The 2nd and 3rd Companies of the 2nd Battalion, having received the order, immediately concentrated their forces on the side inside the mouth of the pigeon. With a roar from the commander of the second company, hundreds of people opened fire with all their might.
The sixty or seventy little devil cavalrymen who had just been frightened did not have time to come back to their senses at all, and they were immediately overturned by this volley, and in an instant, more than a dozen more were killed and wounded.
However, this reminded the little devil cavalry that they knew that they had fallen into the encirclement at this time: there were high slopes on the left and right to resist, and there were ambushes, and the road ahead was that I don't know how many mines were waiting for them to continue to wade through the mines with flesh and blood, and the only way out was to escape back the same way.
At this time, they no longer talked about the spirit of bushido, what was loyal to the emperor, in the face of the explosion of the landmine, they had already exploded in horror, extremely frightened, and now, by hundreds of guns fired indiscriminately, no mind or spirit, the only thought is to quickly escape from this death zone.
In the shouting and screaming of the commander of the cavalry of a little devil, they did not let go of a single shot, discarding the wounded who were howling on the ground, and they did not even have the courage to look back in a hurry.
When they came, they were arrogant and arrogant, and when they returned safely to the main force, they were as dejected as defeated dogs, and had no fighting spirit to speak of. When they came, they had two hundred horsemen, but when they returned, only forty-four remained, and a small number of them were wounded to a greater or lesser extent. It can be said that the cavalry team of the little devils, before that, had always been the high-spirited victors on the battlefield in China, but in this battle alone, they were beaten without even their spirit, and the only thing left was probably shame and remorse!
Afterwards, the cavalry was denumbered, and the remaining cavalry was disbanded, some became infantry, some became heralds, and some became assistants.
At this time, the first battalion is on the right side of the pigeon's mouth, and the second battalion is on the left side of the pigeon's mouth. The command post of the temporary regimental headquarters was set up a little behind the high ground behind the second battalion, so that it was convenient to observe the dynamics of the entire battlefield.
The artillery company was deployed behind the command post of the regiment headquarters, and the Sanqiao County guerrilla brigade that came up by the detour would also become a reserve and wait here.
The second battalion and the first company defended at the front end of the pigeon's mouth, that is to say, once the little devil found that there was an ambush in the pigeon's mouth, nine times out of ten, they would choose the near, that is, the hillside defended by the first company, as a breakthrough and attack.
The second battalion and the second company were in the middle, and this was taken into account when building the fortifications, so the role of the company was to form a second line of defense behind the first company, and to form an encirclement situation in the mouth of the pigeon.
The second battalion and the third company were at the foot of the high ground of the temporary headquarters of the regimental headquarters, and their role was similar to that of the second company.
Zhang Qingshan is known for his quick wit, and his intelligence is needless to say, when he learned that the little devil had a large number of cavalry and iron bumps, he made these two considerations for these two: on the one hand, a large number of mines were planted on the lawn in the pigeon's mouth, and the purpose of this was naturally to eliminate the mobile troops of the little devils, whether it was the little devil cavalry or the three iron bumps, as long as it was one of them, it was enough. On the other hand, he estimated that once one of the troops was eliminated, it would inevitably startle the snake, although the little devil was arrogant with bullets, but he was not stupid, knowing that although the weapons and equipment of the assault regiment lagged behind them, the muzzle of the gun was also a bullet, and a bullet could kill them. Therefore, the little devil will never recklessly go into the pocket of the net, and nine times out of ten will choose to attack the side of the pigeon's mouth.
Therefore, when building fortifications, the main consideration was to make a special echelon-type defensive position in the face of the little devils attacking the side of the pigeon's mouth.
Now, as expected, the little devil did as Zhang Qingshan judged...... The little devil's cavalry was finished, and the little devil behind immediately stopped, not only did not rescue the cavalry at the first time, but began to unload things such as cannons, and at a glance he knew that he was preparing to attack the position where the second battalion was located.
In this regard, Zhang Qingshan was also prepared: the assault company was passing through the position of the first battalion at this time and going around the rear of the little devil. Their main purpose is not to destroy the artillery of the little devils, but to rob. For this reason, Zhang Qingshan previously ordered the second battalion to prepare to touch the little devil's buttocks, which was actually to support the assault company, to snatch the little devil's artillery, and to prepare to attack the little devil from behind...... Everyone knows that artillery positions are generally arranged behind the infantry, which is relatively safe, and can provide effective fire support to the front line and fire strikes against the enemy.
The reason why it was looting rather than destroying was because Zhang Qingshan's personality led the personality of the assault regiment: The assault regiment was poor!
This is the overall deployment of the assault regiment in this blocking battle, and now, all this is about to happen!
The team of the little devils is a mixed detachment, and all the soldiers in it have received the baptism of fire in the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Taiyuan, and then it is a mixture of multiple brigades and squadrons with heavy losses. Don't look at it as a mixture, and after it was hurriedly formed, it couldn't wait to be put in the rear, but all the soldiers in it were veterans with rich battlefield experience, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
The main force of infantry in it was the remnants of Yamaguchi Naoi Daisa, so this mixed detachment was also called the Yamaguchi detachment.
This time I came back to deal with the assault regiment and recover Longfeng County and its surrounding areas......
Speaking of which, it was also the assault group that killed the little devils in this area too hard. Originally, after occupying these places, in order to maintain support for the front line, they only tried to shrink as much as possible in this area, and even if they were to harm the people, they were only in the county and its suburbs, and they had not had time to attack the people in the towns and villages at all.
However, the assault regiment came, first, for its own development, second, for the purpose of fulfilling the tasks assigned by the division headquarters, and third, it saw the opportunity for the little devils to shrink their strength by a large margin, and did not dare to take the initiative to meet the battle.
Therefore, after figuring out the little devil's plan, the assault regiment did not hesitate to complete the six-character policy of 'taking advantage of your illness, killing you'! snatch the territory occupied by the little devil little by little, so that the range of activities of the little devil is rapidly compressed step by step.
The little devils have always been arrogant and arrogant, and naturally they can't stand such oppression—in their eyes, this is a great shame! Therefore, the little devils in the region have kept sending telegrams to the front line, asking for more troops.
Crying children have milk to eat!
This telegram was taken too much, and the people above couldn't stand it a little, just right, the battle of Xinkou was over, and some troops needed to be corrected, so a unit was transferred here, so there was the outbreak of the first Qinglong Mountain defense battle.
However, they never expected the strength of the assault group to expand so quickly, not only repelling their sneak attack, but also like being stabbed in a hornet's nest, turning around and capturing Longfeng County.
Originally, the little devil army was still not convinced, thinking that since they could not give full play to the advantages of mobility and heavy weapons in the mountains, they would fight with the assault group in the siege battle!
Who knows, the battle of Taiyuan will be carried out above, so with a paper order, this force that is just ready to go to the assault regiment can only leave and go to Taiyuan. Not only did they leave, but they also took away a small half of the small number of little devil troops in this area.
In this way, the little devils in this area are even more frightened.
As a last resort, I had to temporarily become a turtle with a shrunken head, sharply shrink my troops, and plan to send it to the assault regiment along with Renxian.
But the problem is that the assault group still can't look down on the meat that can be easily eaten in the mouth, and has to gnaw the hardest bones. Therefore, the assault regiment went straight to Sanqiao County No. 2.
This time, it completely disrupted the deployment of the little devils: originally they received a telegram and knew that reinforcements would arrive in the next few days, so they didn't dare to cause trouble, and wanted to honestly wait for the reinforcements to arrive before fighting with the assault group, and report the suffocation that they had been holding back for so long. Now, being driven out of the county seat of Sanqiao County by the assault regiment, this is naturally extremely sad and indignant.
So, I couldn't wait to send a telegram to Yamaguchi Naoi Daisaku.
Yamaguchi Naoi took this mixed detachment all the way to Baoyuan County, and when he saw that Mihashi County was fine, he thought about repairing for a day, and then, in a majestic and high-spirited manner, showed his strength to these friendly troops and local people stationed in the rear, and as a result, he was urged by telegram. In addition, knowing that the county seat of Sanqiao County was lost, the problem would be big, so he could only run to this side quickly.
