Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 965 The so-called friendly army is used to cheat!

4 am on April 1st!
April Fool's Day is a famous Western festival.

Morimu Takuno stood on the highest mountain on the west side of Shecheng County, looking at the distant mountains with a telescope, his face was gloomy.

As the squadron leader of the first squadron of the 14th Division's logistics wing, in the absence of the wing leader, he can be regarded as the number one figure in this huge transport team with 181 trucks.

Logically speaking, this kind of large-scale transportation that uses all the trucks of the entire regiment is escorted by two infantry squadrons and protected by heavy friendly troops along the way. The main force of the Chinese army is also retreating steadily under the threat of the imperial army. What kind of threat can the Chinese have on them.

But this time, it was very different from before.

The Chinese just beat the 108th Division to blood on this traffic line half a month ago. They have proved by facts that they are fully capable of attacking their own convoy.

Therefore, from HD onwards, he has always been cautious and cautious, not to mention taking the opportunity to take a nap in the car during the day, even if he stays at a gate like Shecheng where the imperial infantry is garrisoned at night, he will get one or two in the morning. Do not dare to fall asleep.

There were no problems during the 100-kilometer journey. Seeing that today, we can go directly to Changzhi through Licheng. As long as we walk through this 60-kilometer road safely, we can basically guarantee safety.

For this reason, he sent a telegram last night to Akita Dazuo, the captain of the 117th Infantry Regiment of the Licheng Garrison, hoping that he would send troops to search along the roads around Licheng to ensure the safety of his passage.

Then, on the morning of April Fool's Day in the West, he received a call back from Akita Colonel, four kilometers before and after Licheng, after a cavalry search, it was basically safe.

This is simply an April Fool's Day joke. His convoy is about to pass 60 kilometers. You check 8 kilometers. Is there a bird?
Moreover, if you think about it, you know that even if the Chinese want to attack, they will never choose to attack around Licheng, where there is a complete infantry regiment stationed there.

I really wanted to scold Baga a few times, but Morimu Takuno swallowed the scolding in the end.

It's not because the other party is a major, he is a major, but the 14th Division is at fault. Half a month ago, the 108th Division hoped that their 14th Division's logistics team would use trucks to transport soldiers to the front line of Licheng. Didn't you say you refused!
Now, they searched for eight kilometers symbolically in the face of an army command ordering help to guard, but they didn't want to tear themselves apart completely, otherwise, they wouldn't even reply to the telegram!

However, the telegram that the search was completed at 8 o'clock in the morning was really too perfunctory.Anyway, he would never believe that the 117th Infantry Regiment would send people into the mountain in the dark.

The 108th Division cannot be trusted, but the road to go must be taken. The division urgently needs this batch of supplies and the military pay transported by the car to send money to the officers and soldiers of the empire!It can't be said that because he feels scared, let more than [-] troops wait and starve at the front line!
China's Yu Province is really poor. Dozens of villages have been looted and no rice has been seen. It is almost impossible to provide supplies for the division.

"Please let our colleagues in Dongyang Pass give us the best possible reconnaissance! Tell them that when we pass through Dongyang Pass, we will give some supplies to express our gratitude!" Morimu Tuoye looked at the peaceful forest in front of him, tried his best to maintain his calm and gave orders to his subordinates .

Dongyang Pass is the most important pass between Shecheng and Licheng. The current garrison is as high as an infantry squadron. If they can reach Dongyang Pass at noon, they will not be far from Licheng, and the danger will naturally be much less .

Morimu Takuno, a veteran who has been in the logistics unit for more than ten years, still has some strategies.

Therefore, before the huge convoy set off, at least fifty Japanese soldiers came out from Dongyang Pass and searched for Shecheng along the highway.

The timid and cautious Japanese army commander probably didn't know that his cautious move almost saved his life and that of the entire convoy.

For the 683 Brigade and the Four Elements Regiment, the scheduled battlefield is nearly a hundred miles away from their station, so they must leave for the battlefield two days in advance.

However, the army was too large. In order to keep secret, they could only march at night as much as possible. During the day, they entered the mountain forest in units of battalions and companies, and marched in a scattered way under the cover of dense forest.

The marching speed was actually extremely slow, and it was not until ten o'clock in the evening on the 31st that they arrived near the battlefield.

After the last battle of Shentouling, Brigadier Cheng, who was the commander-in-chief of the front line this time, knew that the Japanese army would be more cautious than before when such a large convoy passed, and it was inevitable to send the vanguard cavalry to observe along the way.

Therefore, whether it is the Four Elements Regiment responsible for blocking the enemies involved in the city, or the three regiments under the 683 Brigade responsible for attacking the convoy, they are all prohibited from entering the battlefield in advance to avoid being discovered by the Japanese army.

Only a few reconnaissance teams were sent along the route to look out for the road, and they would only enter the position when the Japanese army arrived.

Almost all the main forces are lurking one mile away from the road. With such an arrangement, no matter how cautious the Japanese are, they will never be discovered.

Then, the accident happened.

Wang Xiaoqiang, who has been promoted to the head of the 772 regiment, suddenly received a report from the reconnaissance squad that a group of 200 Japanese soldiers was coming to Majiayu where they were.

Majiayu is only 2 kilometers away from Dongyangguan. The reason why the 772 regiment stayed so close to Dongyangguan is because of the extremely unique terrain of Majiayu.

Unlike most of the cliffs along the road, this place is composed of three continuous hills. Perhaps the terrain is not so steep, but it is a good place to fight.

The three hills with an altitude of more than 400 meters are like a zigzag, completely locking the winding road in it. Any person, car, or horse who wants to pass this road will be hit by firepower from one side of the three peaks. .

Of course, these three mountains are not big, and the total length of the roads passing through them is no more than 600 meters. It is probably okay to ambush an infantry brigade. When the Japanese army has enough troops, the battlefield is too small to be enough. accommodate it.

Here, it was not used to ambush the position of the Japanese army's logistics unit, but was used by Brigadier Cheng to block the Japanese reinforcements from Licheng.

Two infantry battalions and two machine gun companies will be stationed on the two hills split by the highway, which will become iron gates to block the Japanese reinforcements. The Japanese will not take a step forward unless they kill all the Chinese soldiers on the two hills. .

Even if they are strong enough to kill the two infantry battalions on these two mountains, there is still an infantry battalion of the supplementary regiment on the hill behind the two mountains. The 772nd regiment, the main force, will invest more than 1600 infantry. In addition, three infantry battalions will be prepared on the two flanks to prevent the Japanese army from roundabout attacks.

A total of two infantry regiments with more than 4400 soldiers were invested in the entire blocking battlefield. In Wang Xiaoqiang's original words: Even if an infantry regiment comes, I promise to block the enemy for 6 hours.

Wang Xiaoqiang is not bragging with his eyes open. The current 772 regiment can have 82 Type 6 mortars, 200 shells in reserve, 92 Type 12 heavy machine guns, 4 Min 2000 heavy machine guns, and Japanese heavy machine guns. [-] rounds of ammunition.

In addition, the five all-day mechanized infantry companies also have 20 grenadiers, each with 30 rounds of ammunition, 20 Japanese-style light machine guns, 800 rounds of each machine gun, 100 rounds of ammunition for each infantry, and six Japanese-style grenades. pieces.

Moreover, in order to fight this battle well, the division headquarters of the 921 Division took out most of its reserves and distributed 50 rounds of bullets and 4 grenades to each of the officers and soldiers who were still equipped with Hanyang.

In the original words of the two division chiefs: Don’t be afraid if you run out of bullets, as long as there is a Japanese transport brigade, they will return them sooner or later, maybe there will be more.

The battle in the east of Jin did not only improve the morale of ordinary officers and soldiers, it also seemed to open a new door to the world for several big shots.

It turns out that 'robbing' is such a cool thing?
This is all the firepower that Wang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to think about in the past. Now it's all in his hands. If he didn't worry that the Japanese army might have mountain guns following him, he might have dared to say: "Look if I don't beat him to death."

Wang Xiaoqiang may not know it, but the head of Li Datuan, who will be modeled on him in the future TV series, likes to say so.

Maybe it's because his younger generations like to brag, or maybe it's because he hasn't fully evolved to let himself go, so he's still cautious.

Although he hoped to enter the battlefield as soon as possible to dig trenches to keep out the turbulent enemy, but in order not to be exposed, he still ordered the whole army to hide at the foot of the mountain hundreds of meters away from the battlefield. In the mountains.

Wang Xiaoqiang, who was not blindly brave and reckless, avoided the tragedy of the whole army running empty.

The Japanese army was so cautious that they actually sent troops from Dongyang Pass to Majiayu.

"Regimental Commander, should we move immediately to avoid being discovered by the Japanese army?" Battalion Commander Xiaoding suggested anxiously.

It is not difficult for two heavily armed infantry regiments to kill the 200 Japanese troops, but once the battle is fought here, the battle to ambush the Japanese army's logistics regiment will inevitably fail. For the 5 Division, which used nearly 921 infantry regiments to participate in the battle, it is a complete battle. fail.

"Let me think about it!" Wang Xiaoqiang's expression was unprecedentedly serious.

There were two paths before him, either to kill the group of Japanese troops who accidentally broke in, or to withdraw the entire army immediately.

However, the evacuation of thousands of people was not a small movement, and the mud trampled by thousands of feet, as long as anyone with a discerning eye saw something wrong.

No matter what choice he made, it seemed that he would be exposed, which eventually led to the failure of the battle plan planned by the division headquarters, the brigade headquarters, and the four-element regiment for nearly a week.

This may be one of the most difficult choices Wang Xiaoqiang has encountered in the past ten years in the army.

After nearly suffocating for a minute, Wang Xiaoqiang, who was frowning and thinking, suddenly brightened his eyes: "No, the Japanese army stationed at Dongyangguan is only one infantry squadron. Even if they don't even mobilize their old nests, there should not be more than 1 people. There must be something strange. !

Let the reconnaissance team take the binoculars and show me clearly. The whole army must not move rashly. Without my order, even if the Japanese guns fall on the heads, they can't make a sound! "

Not more than ten minutes later, the soldiers who went to reconnaissance came to report again: "Report, I can see clearly, it is not more than 200 little devils, but dozens of Japanese, forcing more than 100 of us ordinary people to go this way."

"That's it. This group of little devils probably has a military order and they have to go out for reconnaissance, but they are afraid of death, so they have to drive away our common people as a shield. As long as they have the guts, it's good to look in the grass by the side of the road. Dare to go 300 meters deep into the mountain?" Wang Xiaoqiang slapped his hands. "Order the reconnaissance team to continue monitoring, but keep a sufficient distance so that they don't find out. The whole army continues to hide!"

Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang made an extremely wise judgment.

After the war, the 921 division headquarters gave him a big red flower for his prompt decision, and the whole division commended him, but Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth did not burst into laughter.

Lao Tzu, you should be the head of the main force!Good food is never afraid of being late, that's what I'm talking about!
His prediction was very accurate. The Japanese infantry squad that came out of Dongyang Pass was even more timid than he imagined. Not only did they drive away the people in the mountains as a shield, they didn't even enter the grass on the side of the road, but let the people take their place for them. Into the mountains to observe.

Isn't that funny!Not to mention that the people who were so frightened that their faces were pale couldn't see the Chinese lurking army hundreds of meters away, but if they saw it, they immediately reported to the Japanese army: "Tailord, where is the Tubada?"

What, is there a bonus or something?
Such a result, of course, is the aftermath of the last World War. After the war, the 108th Division dragged the corpse with a truck for a day, set up firewood in the valley near Shecheng and Licheng, poured gasoline on the corpse and burned it. For four days, the thick smoke from burning corpses almost covered the entire valley, and the smoky smell even disgusted the vigilant wolf and green dog, so it stuck its nose in the grass.

Unfortunately, the two infantry squadrons of the infantry squadron stationed in Dongyangguan have participated in the burning of corpses, and witnessed hundreds of colleagues being burnt in the flames, and their faces were as hideous as hell. The impact of the ghost scene on them was unimaginable.

No one wants to become like that, don't be afraid, you just saw a ghost.

Therefore, the infantry squad, which received the squadron leader's military order, came up with such a trick. Since they wanted to go out for reconnaissance, they had to find a good amulet first.

As for the reconnaissance effect, it depends on what they say anyway. If they say there is no, there will be no. Believe it or not, the love of the 14th Division, even if there is, it is because the Chinese have hidden it too deeply, and we have not seen it.

In this way, at 10 am, Morimi Takuno, who had paid ten pieces of sake and ten cigarettes, five hundred tins of canned food and ten catties of toffee, received good news from Dongyangguan, "The 5 kilometers from Dongyangguan to Shecheng are safe!" '

Morimu Tuoye's heart has finally stabilized. He has calculated that the 36 kilometers from Shecheng to Licheng, the most dangerous section is between Shecheng and Dongyangguan, and if Dongyangguan can detect at least five kilometers The road is safe, which means that even if the Chinese want to attack, they will be within 20 kilometers from Shecheng.

This distance, for an infantry regiment stationed in Shecheng, does not need 2 hours to arrive, but for the Chinese, this risk is undoubtedly a tiger's mouth. As long as the brain is normal, it will not do this. Son.

"Let's go!" Mori Takuno, who had a much more stable mind, gave the marching order.

He did not bid farewell to the commander of the brigade, Major General Guteng Naga, who is the supreme commander in the city. Last night, he took the initiative to pay a visit. Long-lost relatives.

There were tears in his eyes, and in addition to his kind words, he swore that after he led his troops to Shecheng, he sent a cavalry squadron to conduct a careful reconnaissance along the way, and he did not find any Chinese troops. Please ask Morimu Shaozuo to take his greetings to His Excellency Doi Enshi on his behalf, saying that Lu Dayi said farewell to Lu Dayi, and it has been more than ten years since I saw him, and I miss him very much!

Regardless of whether the brigade commander, Major General, is tactful and likes to say nice words, Takuno Mori still believes his words at least [-]%.

Otherwise, the brigade commander would personally lead an infantry regiment to guard this small broken city?That's all the face of the head of the Doi Yuan division!
It can be said that on the morning of April 4st, the only thing that could make Shao Zuo Mori feel relieved was the heart-warming boss of the 1th Division, who gave him a solid sense of security.

As it turned out later, poor Major Mori was still too young.

Not to mention that Guteng Nagaku never attended the Army University at the same time as Dohimoto, but the total distance he said about sending a cavalry squadron to search along the way did not exceed 10 kilometers. Circle it.

It's not that the 108th Division is scum, and the 109th Division is also such irresponsible people, but that this is not the job of the 109th Division. I'm upset, but I still have to do coolies for the 108th division. What do you want?
Just because you are a permanent division, we are an ad hoc division?If you have the ability to send someone to guard your own convoy!What a mess to ask us mobsters to serve as your bodyguards!
Do you think that there are many factions in the Chinese army, and you don't like me, but you don't like me, and the Japanese army is monolithic?
Obviously, not!

If you want to cooperate with all your strength, you must have a military order, and you must also look at the personal connections of the division heads.

Doi Yuan, the spy chief who has worked in the intelligence department for a long time!It's a pity that he made good friends with the upper-level figures of the army, and he didn't pay attention to the second-line divisions like 108 and 109.

And sometimes, it is precisely some inconspicuous little people who change the battlefield.

Under such a background, the huge convoy led by Mori Takuno was trapped by friendly forces all the way, and embarked on the road of death in the spring breeze!
