The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 253 Daqinghe Bridge

Gao Jiu didn't answer Jiang Xiaomei's words, he walked to the side alone, listening to the movement around him.

The night was dark and the surroundings were very quiet.

Gao Jiu listened for a while, making sure that there was no movement of large troops around, and then walked back.He said: "There is no danger here now, let the troops rest in place. Let's wait here and wait for the scouts from various places to report the news before making a decision."

Not long after, the members of Zhang Quan's No. [-] Special Operations Squadron sent people back one after another to report that no trace of the enemy's main force had been found in all directions.

Everyone felt very strange and looked at Gao Jiu in surprise.It wasn't the Japanese army that surprised everyone, but the miraculous Jiuye. It seemed that even Jiuye was wrong this time.

Gao Jiu still couldn't tell where the main force of the 115th Wing of the Japanese Army had gone.

However, he found a fighter.He laughed and said, "Never mind what tricks the devils play, these devils who stayed in Majia'ao Village are now a lone army.

Since the devils gave us such a big gift, we can't let them down.

Now, let's go back and eat these devils in Majia'ao Village. "

Before that, everyone ran around all night, not only did not become a devil, but retreated in despair, everyone felt angry.Hearing Gao Jiu's words, everyone was refreshed.

Jiang Xiaomei immediately shouted: "The troops gather."

Gao Jiu stopped her and said, "Sister, don't go."

Jiang Xiaomei and Yang Jiong asked in unison, "Why?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Sister, you are really short-tempered. I haven't finished my sentence yet. And Political Commissar Yang, why are you like my sister now, with such a quick temper?"

Yang Jiong said with some embarrassment: "I don't know what's going on, don't look at me as a political commissar, but now when I hear about the war, my hands itch, haha."

The political commissar Zhao Gang in the TV series "Bright Sword" is not only a good hand in political and ideological work, but also a military commander who is good at fighting.At that time, the political cadres basically looked like this.

After the battle started, everything was so urgent, how could the mother-in-law handle the problem?It is very natural for Yang Jiong to change his personality in this environment.

Gao Jiu liked Yang Jiong's appearance very much. He felt that such a political commissar would be a good partner with Jiang Xiaomei.

He said: "It's not that you are not allowed to participate in the battle, but there are more important tasks for you. Do you remember the last battle?"

Jiang Xiaomei and Yang Jiong looked at each other, and said excitedly: "Ninth brother, you want us to lay an ambush here?"

Gao Jiu said: "That's right. Those devils in Majia'ao Village are huddled in the trenches. If they make a strong attack, they will cause heavy casualties to the troops.

I'm going back now to drive the devils out. They don't know where they live, and the only way out is to flee back to Pingyue County.You stand here and cut off their retreat. "

The Chief of Staff of the Independence Battalion, Huang Shuigen, had no more doubts this time, and he went directly to start arranging an ambush.

Gao Jiu left two special forces members behind to instruct the soldiers of the independent battalion to plant high explosives. He, Wang Zhankui and others beat horses and went straight to Majia'ao Village.

Wang Jindong's new 187th Division belongs to the 41st Army of the National Army, and the military headquarters is stationed in Nanyang. The 41st Army is a direct line of the Central Army. It has four divisions, an artillery regiment directly under its jurisdiction, and three supplementary regiments. The total strength is nearly 5. The new 69th Division is only 187 miles away, which is also the strong backing of Wang Jindong stationed in Zhiyuan County.

Wang Jindong was originally from the 69th Division and had a close relationship with the 69th Division's Commander Song. Once the newly formed 187th Division was attacked by the Japanese army, the 69th Division would definitely come to help.

If there is any problem in the communication between the two troops, it is that there is a mighty Daqing River between them.

The most important transportation hub connecting the 69th Division and the new 187th Division is the Daqing River Bridge.

Commander Song of the 69th Division knew the importance of the bridge well, so he stationed a reinforcement company here to protect the bridge.

In order to ensure the safety of this bridge, not only solid fortifications were built on the bridgeheads on both sides of the bridge, but also landmines were buried under the bridge.

At 4:00 in the morning, an ambulance arrived on the road north of the Daqinghe Iron Bridge, heading towards the bridge head.

A sentry standing guard at the bridgehead was about to change his guard, and he felt tired.He saw an ambulance coming, rubbed his sleepy eyes, stepped forward, waved a small triangular flag, and stopped the ambulance.

He walked up to the ambulance, stretched out his hand and asked, "Where did it come from? Documents."

The driver was a young man wearing a peaked cap. He said with a smile on his face, "Sir, we are from Zhiyuan County to take a patient to Nanyang."

The sentry said impatiently: "Certificate."

"Oh, I'll get it for you." The young driver wearing a peaked cap still with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to get the certificate.

The sentry reached out to pick up what the driver handed over, but suddenly found that it was a black hole in the muzzle of a gun.

He opened his eyes wide in horror, and saw a flash of fire in front of him, and then his eyes went dark. Before he fell down, he seemed to hear the gunshot. The distance was so close, but he felt the gunshot was so weak , and then completely lost consciousness.

On both sides of the bridgehead, there are machine gun positions built with sandbags. The soldiers sat there and dozed off. The sudden gunfire woke them up and rushed to the machine guns.

However, their movements were too slow. Seven or eight Japanese soldiers dressed as medical staff in white coats jumped out of the ambulance. There was a burst of shooting. The soldiers of the national army were caught off guard and all died in the machine gun bunker. Several Japanese soldiers jumped into the bunker, picked up their machine guns, and fired violently at the tents of the national army on both sides of the bridge. Several other Japanese soldiers The soldiers quickly ran to the front of the two tall bunkers on both sides of the bridgehead, and threw the grenade through the hole of the gun.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of Japanese soldiers who had already ambushed 100 meters away from the bridge rushed towards the bridgehead.

There are two platoons of national army soldiers on each side of the bridge. They usually live in tents on both sides of the bridge head. The sudden and violent machine gun fire hits most of the national army soldiers before they get up from their beds. The bullet is dead.

A small number of soldiers of the national army were not dressed properly, and they raised their guns to resist, and were quickly wiped out by the Japanese soldiers.

In less than 2 minutes, the Japanese army completely occupied the bridgehead on the north side of the bridge.

The company commander of the national army on the south side of the bridge heard the gunfire on the north side of the bridge, and hurriedly directed the chaotic and unclothed national army soldiers to enter the position to prevent the Japanese army from attacking the bridge. He picked up the phone and called his superiors. Asking for help, however, the telephone line has already been cut off by the Japanese army.

At this time, the ambulance driver wearing a peaked cap took off his white coat, revealing the Japanese army captain's uniform inside, threw away the peaked cap on his head, and put on a combat cap.He proudly said to the signal soldier following him: "Send a telegram to the brigade commander, our Nakajima advance team has taken control of the bridgehead north of the Daqinghe Bridge."

It turned out that in order to cut off the contact between the 128th Division of the National Army and the newly formed 69th Division, the Japanese 187th Brigade dispatched a vanguard force in advance, led by Nakajima Squadron Leader, to attack the National Army stationed at the Daqinghe Iron Bridge. military.

The brigade commander of the 128th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Oboffo, received a telegram from the Nakajima Advance Team and said with satisfaction: "Yo Sai! Jiro did not disappoint me."

The captain of Nakajima's approach team, Nakajima Jiro, is the nephew of the brigade commander Obauf. In his unit, he has always been known for his bravery and combat skills.

Taking down the bridgehead on the north side of the Daqinghe Bridge was an important part of the Japanese army's campaign. The brigade commander Obauf specially sent his nephew to perform this task in person.

Today, the Japanese army controls the bridgehead on the north side of the Daqinghe Bridge, blocking the reinforcement channel of the 69th Division of the National Army and even the entire 41st Army to the newly formed 187th Division.

Obauf ordered Shigesho Yamamoto, commander of the 150th Infantry Regiment, and Noboru Otsuka, commander of the 120th Field Artillery Regiment, to lead the headquarters to speed up the march and head straight for Zhiyuan County.

Commanded Major Noguchi Katsunosuke, Captain of the 114th Corps of Engineers, and Major Hideji Nakajima, Commander of the 114th Corps of Light Infantry, to lead the troops from the headquarters, the squadron directly under the brigade and the regiment headquarters, and the machine gun squadron to attack Lanxi County, and then moved to the southwest , encircling Zhiyuan County.

At this time, the company commander of the National Army bridge guard on the south side of the bridge had only two platoons of soldiers under him. He didn't know how many enemies were on the opposite side, so he tentatively organized troops to launch an attack, hoping to recapture the bridgehead on the north side of the bridge.

The Daqinghe Bridge is 370 meters long. When the soldiers of the national army crossed the center line of the bridge, the Japanese army on the opposite side had 2 Type 4 heavy machine guns, [-] crooked machine guns, and nearly a hundred Type [-] rifles. Generally splashed over.

The soldiers of the national army were on the bare bridge deck without shelter, and they suffered heavy casualties immediately.They dropped more than 20 corpses and hurried back.

The company commander of the national army saw the large number of enemy troops, and now he had no intention of retaking the bridgehead on the north side of the bridge. Worried that the Japanese army would attack the bridge, he put the remaining troops into the bunker, hoping to stop the army's attack.

When the company commander of the national army found that the telephone line was blocked, he sent a cavalry messenger to ask for help from the national army 12 miles away, where a battalion of the national army was stationed.

Nakajima Jiro, the captain of the Nakajima approaching team, is a very powerful character. Before attacking the bridgehead on the north side of the Daqinghe Bridge, he sent 6 Japanese soldiers who were good at swimming to swim across the Daqing River. Their task was to cut off the guard. The communication line of the bridge army.

After they cut off the telephone line of the troops defending the bridge, they lay in ambush on the road south of the bridge. When the cavalry correspondent sent by the company commander of the national army passed by, they were intercepted and killed.

After the Nakajima approach team occupied the north side of the bridgehead, they organized a small group of Japanese troops, carried the sandbags removed from the bridgehead bunker, and established a new position near the center line of the bridge to cover an engineering squad following them. Plant explosives on it.

The order Nakajima Jiro received was to stick to the bridgehead on the north side of the bridge, and if it was determined that it could not be held, the bridge would be blown up.

Why didn't the Japanese army blow up the bridge directly?

Everyone knows that as long as enough explosives are installed, blowing up a bridge can be done in an instant, but it takes a long time and a lot of manpower and material resources to build a bridge, even if it is just to repair a bridge.

The little devils don't have enough hearts to swallow elephants. They want to occupy the whole of China. They are reluctant to blow up such a large bridge as the Daqing River Bridge.

In this way, the Japanese army temporarily cut off the retreat of Wang Jindong's newly organized 187th Division.

The night is hazy, the moonlight is like water and gauze, covering Zhiyuan County. The copper bell on the eaves of the bell tower in the city is ringing softly in the breeze, as if singing a lullaby to this ancient county.

The sleeping people in the city didn't know that at this moment, a large group of devils approached quietly like locusts.

Majia'ao Village.

Gao Jiu and others were about to bypass Majia'ao Village and attack the Japanese army from the southwest, when they met a member of the sniper team and came up with a puppet soldier.

The special forces member said: "Don't you want to see our Ninth Master? This is it."

The person who came was the confidant of Li Guishan, the captain of the public security army. He was sent by Li Guishan to contact the Taohuashan guerrillas.

When he saw Gao Jiu for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He first saluted Gao Jiu, but then felt that this was the etiquette of the puppet army. I saw the real person."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "I don't have superhuman powers, are you a little disappointed?"

The puppet soldier hurriedly said: "Where, that's not the case. Master Nine is famous, he is a god-man. When he saw a real person, he really was, he really was..."

His education level is not high, and he can't think of any appropriate adjectives for a while.

Gao Jiu asked, "What's your name? Your captain asked you to come, what's the matter?"

The puppet soldier said: "My name is Li Cunshui, and the captain is my second uncle. He asked me to come to report to you the situation of the Huang Jun in the village, oh, no, it's the devils."

After listening to Li Cunshui's introduction, Gao Jiu explained to Li Cunshui, Li Cunshui said happily: "Master Jiu, that's great. We don't like devils, those guys are beasts, it's time to deal with them. You Don't worry, I will definitely tell my uncle what you explained."

Gao Jiu nodded and said, "Very good! Be careful!"

Li Cunshui said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Jiu, for your concern." After speaking, he left with the special forces member.

Soon after, Gao Jiu and others came to the south of Majia'ao Village and joined Tian Chuan.

After listening to Tian Chuan's report, Gao Jiu had a brief discussion with Wang Zhankui, and immediately started the attack on Majia'ao Village.
