The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 268 All are ruthless characters
Jiang Xiaomei and others drove around Lanxi County in a car, headed southeast all the way, entered the boundary of Zhiyuan County, and then entered Xincheng County, where there is a hilly area called Xiaogushan. Zhiyuan County, here is the only way to go, that is, the route that the 128th Brigade used to march, and it is also the only way for the Japanese army to reinforce the 128th Brigade's supply troops.

Jiang Xiaomei and others rode all the way, marching comfortably, and arrived at the Xiaogushan area at 3:30 in the morning.They chose an ambush position and waited for the devil's supply unit to appear.

I waited until 8:30 in the morning, but there was no sign of the devil.

Leaning on a rock, Jiang Xiaomei said with some dissatisfaction: "Ninth brother is also true. They beat devils there and sent our independent battalion here. It's not that they can't trust our independent battalion."

Both Tian Chuan and Huang Shuigen knew why she was upset, she just wanted to fight side by side with Gao Jiu, and it had nothing to do with any tasks assigned to her.

Women often say what they mean, and if you follow her words, you will often misunderstand what she means and make her very unhappy.

Although Tian Chuan and Huang Shuigen didn't have much experience with women, they knew that Jiang Xiaomei wouldn't really blame Gao Jiu, so they pretended not to hear.

Jiang Xiaomei was so angry that she plucked a flower from a grass on the ground, pulled off the petals one by one, put them in the palm of her hand, and then blew them into the air.

Seeing Jiang Xiaomei looking bored here, the two female soldiers of the female soldier squad who were following her couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering.

At this moment, a soldier from the independent battalion ran over to report, and he said, "Report to the battalion commander, the devil is here."

Jiang Xiaomei cheered up as soon as she heard it. She pulled out a pistol from her waist and asked, "How many people are here?"

The soldier said: "Five cars, more than 40 carriages, about 2 devils."

Jiang Xiaomei sighed and said, "It's a pity."

The soldiers of the Independence Battalion had planted explosives on the road. What Jiang Xiaomei meant was that she hoped that the devils would come less so that she could rob some weapons and ammunition.There are so many devils coming, there is no way to deal with them without using explosives,
However, once these explosives are detonated, the weapons and ammunition will be blown to pieces, and even explosives such as shells and grenades will be killed. Even if the devils are defeated, there must not be many things seized, and they may even be less valuable than those explosives up.

Jiang Xiaomei's appearance as a money fan did not make the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion feel amused. In fact, their thoughts were the same as Jiang Xiaomei's, and they all felt a little sorry.

Xiaogushan is more than 190 miles away from Zhiyuan County. The devils never dreamed that the soldiers of the Independent Battalion would go so far to lay an ambush.

They got off the train at 3:00 in the morning, and marched very hard along the way. In order to send weapons and ammunition to the forward positions as soon as possible, they did not rest on the way. Even breakfast was eaten in a carriage or truck, except for the driver and Except for the groom and the guards, most of the devils were dozing off groggyly.

Seeing the devils entering the ambush circle unprepared, Jiang Xiaomei stared at the supplies, reluctant to use the explosives, she hesitated.

Seeing this situation, Tian Chuan hurriedly reminded: "Battle Commander Jiang, there are too many devils, let's detonate quickly."

Jiang Xiaomei grinned, turned her head to the side a little impatiently, waved her hand and said, "Detonation."

Huang Shuigen knew that explosive blasting was the most critical link in destroying the devil transport team, so he kept holding the detonator himself, and he pressed it without hesitation when he heard Battalion Commander Jiang give the order.

Following a series of loud bangs, thick smoke hundreds of meters long enveloped the road in an instant. A moment later, another violent explosion occurred on the road. It seemed that part of the ammunition carried by the Japanese army was killed.

The soldiers of the Independence Battalion fired fiercely on the road before the smoke cleared.The Independent Battalion brought most of their money this time, with more than 20 light machine guns, and they didn't regret the bullets. Anyway, Master Jiu had already said that no matter how many shots were fired, he would be responsible for supplementing them.

The violent explosion and the rain of bullets dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. When the gunpowder smoke cleared on the road, only a small number of Japanese soldiers were still resisting. The soldiers of the Independent Battalion killed them one by one without hesitation. .

Seeing the messy battlefield, Jiang Xiaomei knew that there would not be many seized items, so she sent a telegram to Gao Jiu without going to check it herself.

At this time, Gao Jiu and the others had already ambushed on the highway, and the ambush site they chose was only five miles away from the location of the Japanese brigade headquarters.

Gao Jiu was very happy to receive the telegram from Jiang Xiaomei, and immediately returned the telegram to her, asking them to look for fighter planes and continue to ambush the devil's transport team while ensuring safety.

Afterwards, he sent a telegram to Wang Jindong.

After Wang Jindong received the news, he immediately sent someone to convey the good news to every soldier of the 187th Army, adding to the courage of the soldiers to continue to persevere.

The Nomura Battalion of the 150th Regiment of the Japanese Army and the Kondo Battalion of the 115th Regiment of the Japanese Army escorted some supplies of the 114th Engineer Regiment and escorted more than 200 national army prisoners of war, marching towards the brigade headquarters.

They were very careful along the way, each squadron was divided into two parts, and the marching distance was widened, so that even if they were attacked by the enemy's blasting, the casualties would be much smaller.

The Japanese army was safe and sound all the way. When they arrived near Zhiyuan County, the Kondo Brigade of the 115th Regiment turned to the north of the county and returned to their original defense area.

The Nomura Battalion of the 150th Regiment and the infantry squadron of the 114th Engineer Regiment continued to advance towards the east gate of the county seat, where the brigade headquarters was located.

Seeing that it was only a few miles away from the brigade headquarters, the vigilance of the Japanese army relaxed, and at this moment, the troops in front stopped.

Captain Nomura stopped the car and waited for the orderly in front to report.Soon the messenger told him the news, saying that the peasants who did not know where came from were so wicked that they dug a ditch on the road and were diverting water from the ditch to irrigate the cornfield on the other side of the road.

Due to the stagnation of the troops in front, the distance between the various troops is gradually shrinking.

Captain Nomura is a cautious person. Even though this place is very close to the base camp, he still urgently issued an order to the messengers to keep each infantry squadron at a distance and stay in place.

The reason why Gao Jiu chose the ambush position so close to the Japanese base camp was that he hoped that the Japanese army would relax their vigilance, but he did not expect that these devils were still so cautious.Gao Jiu didn't have the patience to wait any longer, and immediately ordered the detonation.

Because the Japanese army was far away, the explosion did not cause much damage to the Japanese army, and only killed more than 100 devils.

Gao Jiu and the others were a little annoyed, so they set up all the machine guns and fired at full power!However, he still maintained his sanity and fought for less than half a minute. Before the devils could react, he led his team members on their horses and ran away.

Even so, it still caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese army. This fire attack killed more than 100 devils.

Watching the figures of the assailants galloping wildly and gradually going away, Captain Nomura cursed angrily, but there was nothing he could do.He had no choice but to lead the devils back to the original camp in a dejected manner.

Oboff, the brigade commander, was in a very depressed mood, or very sad, because the word depressed could no longer describe his mood.

He just organized another large-scale attack on Zhiyuan County, but was still beaten back by these national army soldiers hiding in the trenches, and lost more than 100 soldiers of the Yellow Army.

He was angry, and when he heard Captain Nomura's report that he had lost nearly 300 more people, he was so angry that he directly slapped Captain Nomura, until his own hands were red and swollen.

There are really no words to describe his mood at this moment.

He really didn't know how to deal with the tactics of Gao Jiu's Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas.Not to mention, even a newly formed unit like the 187th Division has such a strong combat effectiveness. What he has experienced in the past day has already exceeded the experience he has accumulated in the army for 20 years.

Captain Nomura was a standard soldier. Although he had been slapped, he believed that he had caused the losses of his subordinates, and the beating was justified.He didn't say a word, and he didn't even wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that Obauf stopped his fury temporarily, he said: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, this battle cannot be fought like this. For the current plan, we must quickly break through the current enemy's defenses, capture Zhiyuan County, and then use the county as a base, and calmly deal with those hateful attackers."

Oboff glared at him, and thought, "You need to remind me? I know everything." He said angrily, "You speak lightly, but tell me how to quickly defeat the enemy's position?"

Captain Nomura participated in the attack on Zhiyuan County yesterday, and was later sent to rescue the 114th Engineer Regiment in Lanxi County.He had been thinking about how to attack the 187th Division's position, and he didn't stop thinking about it on the road. Now that he had more mature opinions, he put forward the three opinions he had considered to Obauf.

After hearing this, Obaugh felt that there was some truth.He put away his angry expression, forced a smile, comforted Captain Nomura and said, "Nomura-kun, I have wronged you. I know your troops are working very hard, but you should complete the first task." .”

Nomura and the others tossed and tossed for a whole night without a moment's rest, and now they are very tired.But the suggestion in front of him was made by himself, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and implement it.

The Nomura brigade came to the front of the position. After the artillerymen blasted towards the national army position for a while, they sent a squadron leader and his subordinates to rush up.

When the soldiers of the national army saw the devil soldiers coming up again, they were still the same, and when the devils came into range, they opened fire.

The devils rushed to a distance of 80 meters, and the soldiers of the national army fired fiercely. Seeing that the devils fell many people, the rest retreated.

Many fallen devils did not die. They lay there and pretended to be dead, waiting for the soldiers of the national army to chase them out so that they could carry out a surprise attack.This is a strategy employed by Captain Nomura. They deliberately let the soldiers of the national army see how embarrassed they were retreating, hoping to lure the soldiers of the national army to attack to take advantage of it, so that they could fight back against the soldiers of the national army, and then fought back with the soldiers of the national army. They rushed into the trenches of the national army together.

It's a pity that their plan failed, and the soldiers of the national army had no intention of chasing them out. Seeing that the devils had retreated, they all leaned in the trenches to rest.

Captain Nomura saw that his first strategy had failed, he didn't dare to see Oboff, lest he would have another big mouth, he immediately started to implement the second strategy.

This time he gathered 700 officers and soldiers from his entire brigade, escorted more than 200 national army prisoners of war brought over from Lanxi County, let these national army prisoners of war line up at the front of the team, and attacked towards the national army's position.

Seeing this situation, the national army soldiers guarding in the trenches didn't know what to do for a while.The company commander hurriedly called the battalion commander. The battalion commander saw that the devils were approaching step by step with the prisoners of war. He didn't care to ask the regimental commander for instructions, so he called Wang Jindong directly.

Wang Jindong is a ruthless person. After hearing this situation, he gave the order to fire without hesitation.

The company commander received the order and ordered the soldiers to open fire.

However, the soldiers saw their comrades-in-arms in front of them, and for a while, they didn't even carry out the order of the company commander.

At this time, the prisoners of war were only more than 50 meters away from the monkeys, and the Japanese army only needed to advance another 20 meters before they could throw grenades into the trenches.

The company commander became anxious, picked up the machine gun, and pulled the trigger fiercely. One by one, the national army prisoners of war fell down, revealing the devils behind, and the national army officers and soldiers also opened fire.

Captain Nomura saw that his soldiers were very close to the enemy's position, so he ordered a fierce attack. Hundreds of devils rushed forward. The soldiers of the national army kept pulling the triggers, but the devils came up. There were too many of them, the ones in front fell down, and the ones behind swarmed up again.

Soon a group of devils had reached a distance of 30 meters from the trench. They threw a large number of grenades towards the trench. Many devils were hit by bullets when they raised the grenade, and those grenades exploded among the devils. Come.There were also some devils who were shot when throwing grenades, and they exploded after only a distance of more than ten meters. However, many grenades were thrown beside the trenches, and some even fell into the trenches. Soldiers took some casualties.

Seeing that the devil's offensive was unstoppable, the company commander ordered to abandon the first trench, and the officers and soldiers of the national army retreated along the communication trench.

As the soldiers of the national army retreated, the devils' offensive became more violent. In an instant, dozens of devils rushed into the trenches of the national army.

Seeing that the people in front had occupied the enemy's trench, the devils at the back immediately became morale high and rushed up in a swarm, and a large group of devils jumped into the trench.

Captain Nomura was so excited that he personally waved his command saber and commanded the devils behind to rush forward.

The head of Obauf's brigade had already arrived at the forward position. He observed the battle situation with the artillery scope. When he saw that the Nomura brigade captured the enemy's first trench, he said happily: "Yoxi! Nomura is a ruthless guy." Role."
