The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 360

Gao Jiu asked rhetorically, "You all think this place is not suitable for ambushes, what would the Japanese army think?"

Wu Tianming is very smart, he understood it all at once, and he said: "That's right! This place is so close to the Xinfenghe Highway Bridge, and the terrain doesn't look very favorable. The devils probably didn't expect us to ambush them here. Hit him off guard."

Wang Xuexue is also a smart person, he also wanted to understand this point, and he was able to develop on this basis,
He said: "The Japanese army's fighting power is strong, and only by being caught by surprise can they be defeated quickly. Another point, I believe Mr. Gao must have considered it this way: After all, there are only two battalions of the 338th regiment in the big and small Chenzhuang. Even if a supplementary regiment is added, the combat effectiveness is too weak.

If we can attack the Japanese army here, even if we can't take down the Japanese army for a while, it is far away from the big and small Chenzhuang.At the same time, the troops guarding the big and small Chenzhuang will not be attacked from two sides at the same time.Mr. Gao's thoughtfulness is really admirable to my brothers. "

Although Chu Tianxiong was a secret agent, he also had basic military knowledge. Now he understands the truth, and said with emotion: "It's no wonder Brother Gao always wins battles. His consideration is far-reaching and thoughtful."

Next, Gao Jiu, Wu Tianming and others checked the terrain in this area.Here is a hilly area with dense vegetation. Although the terrain is not as dangerous as the places passing by on the road, it is still conducive to the concealment of the ambush troops.

On the eve of the war, the officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division were a little nervous. Although they were about to use ambushes to attack the enemy, due to the long-term fear of the Japanese army, everyone was still wondering whether they could kill more than 5000 Japanese troops at once. .

To be honest, everyone, including Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue, felt a little uneasy.The fighting power of the Japanese army is too strong. If the Japanese army cannot be defeated as soon as possible, the 62nd Division may collapse when the Japanese army organizes a counterattack.

In the past, Wu Tianming was very cunning, and he often avoided the enemy in battle. Not long ago, in order to preserve their strength, they gave up the big and small Chenzhuang, and let the reinforcements of the 21st Regiment of the Japanese Third Division go there.

What kind of chief there is what kind of subordinate, Wu Tianming and others have played a very bad role in leading the way, and now they are also worried that if there is a fight with the Japanese army, his subordinates will also come to the soles of their feet and run away.They were very worried about this situation: I am afraid that if the battle does not go well, the army will be torn apart.

In order to cheer up the officers and soldiers, but also to cheer up himself at the same time, Wu Tianming summoned the entire battalion and even the chief officer, and asked Gao Jiu to speak to everyone to boost morale.

On a hillside, more than a hundred officers of the 62nd Division were sitting on the grass.Gao Jiu, Wu Tianming, Wang Weixue, and Chu Tianxiong sat on top of the hillside.

Wu Tianming said first, "Brothers! Everyone has heard of Master Gao Jiu of Peach Blossom Mountain, right?"

The officers of the 62nd Division all knew that Gao Jiu had come here. Seeing how young Gao Jiu was sitting among Wu Tianming and the others, he was somewhat different from the invincible God of War they imagined in their minds. Everyone was silent for a while.

Wu Tianming went on to say: "Everyone has read the newspapers, everyone knows the victories Gao Jiuye and my brother Gao fought in the past, so I won't repeat them here, just talk about a few recent events.

It turns out that everyone knows what the supplementary group from Guizhou under our division looks like.Not long ago, Brother Gao led a supplementary regiment to defeat a brigade of Japanese soldiers near the Xinfenghe Bridge and wiped out more than 500 Japanese troops.Then, he alone blew up the Xinfenghe Bridge, which was heavily guarded by the Japanese army, and an army column of the devils, killing more than 1000 Japanese soldiers at once.

Afterwards, Brother Gao led the supplementary regiment and repelled the attack of the 21st Regiment of the Japanese Third Division twice in Nanfeng Mountain, wiping out nearly a thousand enemies.

Just today, he led the supplementary regiment that our division had just transferred, took down the big and small Chenzhuang, and ate up an infantry squadron of the devils. I think everyone will be convinced by such a record. "

Regarding Guan Lie's supplementary group, it was very embarrassing for Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue, so they didn't mention it to their subordinates before.Now that the war is imminent, in order to boost the morale of the troops, they don't have so many scruples.

The officers of the 62nd Division had never seen Gao Jiu's achievements in other places with their own eyes. Although they admired them in their hearts, they didn't have an intuitive impression. They always felt that there would inevitably be exaggerations.

They are all clear about the situation of Guan Lie's supplementary group, and in their eyes, they don't care about that supplementary group at all.Unexpectedly, Gao Jiu was able to fight such a beautiful battle with that supplementary team, and everyone looked at Gao Jiu with more respect.

Wu Tianming said: "Brother Gao is now the Colonel and Deputy Director of the Fifth Theater Command, and the Commander of the Theater has specially appointed Brother Gao to be the commander of this campaign. Now I invite Brother Gao to give you a lecture."

Everyone's attention had been focused on Gao Jiu, and they had wanted to hear him speak for a long time.So, everyone welcomed Gao Jiu's speech with warm applause.

Gao Jiu himself was sitting on the top of the hillside, and everyone could see clearly, so he didn't stand up to speak, but just sat there and said directly: "Brothers! I won't say the polite words, brother, I will just talk about what's next how to fight the battle."

Gao Jiu's opening remarks directly won the favor of everyone. No one wants to listen to other people's long speeches. The officers only want to hear Gao Jiu's uniqueness in tactical command.

Gao Jiu first introduced the basic situation of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army.

He said: "The troops of this division of the Japanese army have just been formed, and there is no running-in between the troops. The officers and soldiers are not familiar with each other, and they lack combat experience. Our 62nd Division has experienced many battles. They are all familiar with each other, can cooperate closely, and exert the greatest combat effectiveness. From these aspects, our army has a great advantage. What's more, the Japanese army has only 5000 people, and the 62nd Division has 12000 people, which is twice as strong as the enemy army. , also took advantage. As long as the tactics are proper, it is not impossible to eat them.

Of course, the Japanese army also has its advantages. One is that the Japanese army is tenacious in combat and the individual soldiers are of high quality;

According to the characteristics of the Japanese army and our situation, the combat deployment that I discussed with Commander Wu, Chief of Staff Wang and Station Chief Chu is:
The 186th regiment was in ambush on the east side of the road, and the 187th regiment was in ambush on the west side of the road. The 188th Regiment ambushed with one battalion to the south of the main position, and two battalions on the hillside two kilometers to the north.The division guard battalion strengthened two machine gun platoons and ambushed to the south of the 187th regiment. "

At this point, Gao Jiu looked around at the officers and saw that everyone didn't quite understand. Gao Jiu said: "The general battle deployment is like this. Do you have any questions? Please feel free to ask."

The 186th and 187th regiments were in ambush on both sides of the road, and their mission was very clear, and there was no doubt about it.

The security battalion commander first asked: "Sir Gao, our security battalion is ambushing on the south side of the 187th regiment. What is the mission?"

Gao Jiu said: "The biggest reliance of the Japanese army is their artillery unit. The reinforcements of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army are a reinforced unit mainly composed of the 145th Regiment, which is attached to an artillery brigade of the 106th Regiment of the Field Artillery. They The marching sequence is at the rear. The task of your battalion is to launch a swift and violent attack on the enemy's artillery unit under the cover of the Shishan artillery company and your own firepower after the battle begins, and resolutely destroy the enemy's artillery unit. The Japanese army As long as the support of artillery fire is lost, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

When attacking, the Japanese army must rescue the artillery units. Your south will be covered by the battalion south of the 188th regiment, and the north will be covered by the 187th regiment.

The task of your guard battalion is extremely important, and will even play a decisive role. When fighting, you must fight and charge fiercely to resolutely destroy the enemy's artillery units.do you understand? "

The battalion commander said, "Understood."

The head of the 188th Regiment asked suspiciously: "Sir, our regiment is in ambush at the southernmost point of the battlefield and is responsible for blocking the way for the enemy and Japanese troops to flee south. However, once the Japanese troops flee south with all their strength, a battalion of troops may not be able to stop the Japanese attack. Also, the other two battalions of our regiment left the battlefield and ambushed two kilometers away, what is the purpose of this?"

Gao Jiu said: "The Japanese army will not choose to flee to the south. First of all, the Japanese army's task this time is to reinforce the Japanese army under the city of Nanchang. If they fail to complete the task, they will not retreat to the original road. The east, west, and a battalion of your regiment attacked the Japanese army in the south, leaving a gap for the Japanese army in the north. The so-called encirclement is short of one, and the Japanese army will first choose to break through the encirclement to the north and go to the 21st Regiment The Japanese army will join up. Therefore, one battalion of your troops there will be enough."

"It makes sense, I understand." The head of the 188 regiment nodded and said.

Gao Jiu said: "The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is strong. In order to prevent them from defending on the spot, our army adopted the tactic of encircling three and missing one. Our army launched a fierce attack on the enemy from the east, west, and south, forcing the Japanese army to break through to the north. The lack of coordination between the Japanese army and the lack of strict organization will inevitably lead to confusion during the retreat, and it will be difficult to organize effective resistance. At this time, their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened, making it easier for our army to defeat them during the pursuit. Enemies, destroy them."

When he said this, the head of the 188th regiment hurriedly said: "Sir Gao, I understand that my two battalions are in ambush two kilometers away. When the enemy's defeated army passes by, it has already been planned to ambush it." The panicked enemy is ambushed again, and it is very likely that they will be defeated in one fell swoop. It is a good idea to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop after our main force pursues."

Regarding Gao Jiu's combat deployment, the officers all thought it was reasonable and agreed together.

Gao Jiu went on to say: "After the battle starts, don't be stingy with the bullets. Use the fiercest firepower to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army. Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, the whole army launches an attack and quickly defeats the enemy. During the attack, the offensive must be Vigorously, the charging speed must be fast, so as not to give the enemy a chance to breathe.

During the charge, each battalion and company put their machine guns at the forefront to give full play to their firepower.At the same time, each battalion and company mobilized soldiers with good marksmanship to form a sniper team, which was specially responsible for attacking Japanese officers, machine gunners and grenadiers, so that the Japanese army could not organize effective resistance.I believe that the heroic 62nd Division will definitely be able to defeat and eliminate these enemies. "

The officers' blood boiled with enthusiasm, and they were gearing up one by one, wishing that the Japanese army would appear immediately.

Gao Jiu said: "Before the battle starts, we have to prepare a big dish for the Japanese army. After the meeting, the engineering platoons of each regiment will report to the engineering company directly under the division. I will be responsible for arranging specific tasks for them."

Wu Tianming knows the virtues of his troops, he likes to slip up the first battle, and so do his subordinates.In order to prevent the troops from passively avoiding battles during combat, he also formulated corresponding countermeasures.

He said: "Brothers, this battle is related to the face of our 62nd Division. After the battle starts, if any unit is fearful of the enemy and unfavorable in combat, don't blame me for being ruthless. Chief of Staff, you put us Announce your battlefield discipline to everyone."

Wang Xuexue cleared his throat and said, "Brothers! The division has spent all of its money this time, and has paid out 5 yuan at once. The troops and personnel who have made meritorious service will be rewarded heavily.

Also, you don't need to save your strength this time, no matter how much you suffer, the division and the high officer will definitely replenish for you after the war.

In order to strictly enforce the discipline on the battlefield, the division headquarters mobilized the directly subordinate team to organize a supervisory team. I will send people from each battalion to supervise the battle on the spot.

Each of your regiments should organize a supervisory team and send it to each battalion, and each battalion should also organize a supervisory team and send it to each company.Which regiment is unfavorable in combat, the regiment leader and deputy commander will be shot.If any battalion or company is unfavorable in combat, the battalion commander or company commander will be shot.

brothers!You have all followed Master Zuo for many years, and you all know how Master Zuo treats you. If any of you don't give Master Zuo face this time, then don't blame Master Zuo for not being a brother. "

Chu Tianxiong said: "Brother, I will supervise the whole process. If anyone dares to fear the enemy and avoid the battle, I will invite him to drink tea in the torture room of our military command Nanchang station."

The military officers at all levels saw that Wu Tianming was serious this time, and with Chu Tianxiong watching over him, everyone put away their thoughts of slipping.

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, this time they will never lose their heads, and they will win this battle at all costs.

第二天上午11点，日军第106师团第145联队、野炮兵106联队、工兵106联队、辎重兵第106联队各一部，终于出现在了公路上。
