Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 379

The cavalry regiment went deep alone, and the first and second companies of the cavalry rushed forward at full speed. They were only responsible for dispersing the puppet troops along the way.

A small number of puppet soldiers with inflexible minds tried to race against the horses on the road. The cavalrymen were naturally not polite. They drew their sabers and took advantage of the speed of the horses.

The follow-up regiment and artillery battalion advanced at full speed, and Zhou Weihan planned to wipe out the Japanese army of the [-]st Division within three hours.

The Japanese army had four airports around Shanxi, namely Yuncheng Airport on the west side of Zhongtiao Mountain, Changzhi Airport on the east side, Shimen Airport, and Taiyuan Airport where the First Army was located. They formed a square formation and radiated most of North China.

Further north is the Beiping Airport of the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters, and to the south there is Xinxiang Airport.

Now that the encirclement has been completed, this group of Japanese troops is like grasshoppers after autumn and can't jump around a few times, but Zhou Weihan is still a little worried about the threat from the air.

Fortunately, the little devil has always been very picky, and he is not willing to dispatch planes easily, and in the Japanese army, he has always been ashamed to call for air support.

The nearest Changzhi Airport must not only support the war in Lucheng, but also support the war around the Lintun Highway.

When Zhou Weihan chose to launch the attack, according to reports from the Changzhi Intelligence Station, the planes at Changzhi Airport hadn’t returned yet. Considering the surrounding situation, the Japanese planes were likely to go to support the Japanese troops fighting the Taiyue Military Region.

The cavalry regiment advanced all the way, and the Japanese army team responsible for guarding the rear had heard the gunshots long ago. The Japanese army team was stationed at the edge of a village next to the road, and the machine gunners were equipped with three crooked handles, and they were waiting here.

"Woo!" Zhu Dashan pulled back the galloping horse and stopped it out of the range of the Japanese army on the opposite side. The two sides just confronted each other without making a move.

At this time, Zhu Dashan was thinking about whether to rush forward to kill this group of Japanese troops. Zhou Weihan gave Zhu Dashan an order that the cavalry regiment should not fight with the large Japanese army until the main force arrived.

But there was only this Japanese squad in front of him, and the cavalry regiment might not be involved in the next big battle. Thinking of this, Zhu Dashan no longer hesitated.

"The first company outflanks from the left, the second company outflanks from the right, attack!"

After a brief confrontation, the sound of horseshoes resounded through the ground again, and muffled thunder came from the left and right sides.

The Japanese machine gunners on the opposite side immediately started shooting, and the cavalrymen hid sideways on their horses. After sacrificing a few soldiers, the soldiers from the first and second cavalry companies rushed into the Japanese squadron on horseback.

What followed was a massacre.

Forty-one Division Division Headquarters.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, a cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army has exchanged fire with our rear guard in Chencun!" The adjutant hurriedly reported the emergency.

"Nani? So fast?" Tian Daoshengwu expected that the Eighth Route Army would attack from behind, but he didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to come so fast.

Previously, Tian Daoshengwu was too greedy to eat the new regiment and rejoin the vanguard.

However, at this time, I felt fortunate in my heart. If I had given up the vanguard and retreated to Lucheng, I might have fought an encounter with the Eighth Route Army attacking from behind.

"Where is the Beiyuan brigade!"

"The Beiyuan Brigade was entangled by the Eighth Route Army and couldn't escape!"

Tian Daoshengwu then looked at the map. The mountains, villages, and rivers were all marked on the map, but it happened that Weizi Town was located on a small plain, and there was no danger around it.

"Baga, immediately order Matsutani Shinya to stop the attack, lead the troops to move closer to the division headquarters, and build a position. As long as they can block it for two hours, the planes from Changzhi Airport will arrive to support them!" Tian Daosheng said sharply.

After some fights, Tian Daoshengwu clearly understood that the Eighth Route Army in Tainan should not be underestimated, and it was quite different from the Eighth Route Army around Linfen.

This decision seemed most appropriate to Moritake Tian Michi. The soldiers of the empire were exhausted after a long battle, and they were stationed on the spot for defense. They could not only recover their physical strength, but also break out when the plane came to support them.

"Hi!"

Micro town.

After receiving the order, Matsutani also took a look at Weizi Town, which cost him his troops. The soldiers tried to break through the last line of defense of Weizi Town several times, but every time they were repulsed by the opposing Eighth Route Army.

The two infantry brigades he led, with the fire support of the mountain artillery brigade, launched attacks in turn. After a rough count of the casualties, there were no less than three infantry squadrons, with more than [-] people.

"Baga, is it possible that the Eighth Route Army in Weizi Town is forged with iron? I really want to know what kind of army this is?" Songgu said unwillingly.

"The offensive troops continue to maintain their attack intensity, and the rest of the squadrons move closer to the division headquarters!"

After the order was issued, other troops waiting to attack retreated one after another, and then the two attacking squadrons took cover and retreated.

In Weizi Town.

Hearing the sound of gunshots gradually thinning out, Li Yunlong immediately sensed something was wrong.

"It's obvious that the little devil is attacking violently. It doesn't look like we were repelling the attack. Instead, it seems to be retreating voluntarily. No, the little devil is going to run, correspondent!" Li Yunlong was about to order the troops to attack immediately.

"Old Li, what if the little devil lures us to send troops, once the little devil takes the opportunity to break through our regiment's defense line, then the little devil's forces will be combined into one, and the 28th regiment will definitely not be able to withstand it. The casualties are small, and the impact on the battle situation will be great. Ah! Besides, we have completed the encirclement, where can the little devil go!" Luo Benzhong thought of another possibility, and stepped forward to persuade Li Yunlong.

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and Zhou Weihan didn't know the specific situation of Weizi Town, so he specifically mentioned in the telegram that Li Yunlong could wait for the opportunity to act.

"No, although there is no easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain within a radius of more than ten miles of Weizi Town, the little devil now has at least [-] to [-] infantrymen. Even if Zhou Weihan leads the team, it will be difficult to attack by force." A bone to chew!"

"In this way, you take the second battalion and the third battalion to stay in Weizi Town. I will take the first battalion to check the situation!" Li Yunlong said very conservatively, but Luo Benzhong still didn't understand what Li Yunlong said about the situation mean?
Seeing that Luo Benzhong still wanted to refute, Li Yunlong immediately said: "I am the chief military officer, you must listen to me in wartime, this is what we agreed before!"

Zhang Dabiao's first battalion consisted of five infantry companies and one heavy machine gun company. When it was full, there were nearly [-] people.

Early this morning, the first battalion was withdrawn to rest, and the soldiers were always assembled, waiting for the order to counterattack.

Zhang Dabiao also noticed the movement of the Japanese army outside the town. Seeing Li Yunlong coming, he immediately realized that it was time to counterattack.

"All battalions gather!"

"Zhang Dabiao, how is the first battalion resting?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Reporting to the commander, there are still 652 people in the first battalion including the lightly wounded, and they are all ready for battle. Commander, please give an order!" Zhang Dabiao said decisively.

"Okay, listen to this to cheer up!" Li Yunlong turned his head to look at the assembled battalion of soldiers.

Many soldiers were wounded, but there were no serious wounded. All the seriously wounded stayed on the ground and died with the little devil.

Wherever Li Yunlong looked, all the soldiers stood up, even the wounded.

"The little devil wants to run, can we let him run?"

"No, no!"

"Okay, I won't say anything superfluous, just a word, now it's time for our new group to eat meat, rush up and bite off two pieces of meat from the little devil!" Li Yunlong said loudly.

Li Yunlong didn't make any fuss, saying that the wounded were left behind. In his opinion, at this time, no man would like to watch his comrades kill the enemy in front, and he was left behind to watch.

the other side.

The cavalry regiment used the company as a unit to form a net to search for the small Japanese army. At this time, Zhu Dashan didn't know that the Japanese army had begun to retreat.

Part of the Japanese army's luggage followed the combat troops, and part of it stayed at the temporary station of the division headquarters.

The 239th Regiment's supply team and the wounded were the first to retreat, this was to prevent being overtaken by the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, a Japanese convoy of more than 110 people was driving a carriage, carrying combat supplies and about [-] wounded, walking along the country road.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes, and the squadron leader who led the team looked around like a frightened rabbit.

"Is this the sound of horses marching? The imperial army that participated in this battle did not have cavalry. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army still has cavalry in Weizi Town?" The squadron leader vaguely guessed that the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army detoured to pursue.

In order to avoid panic among the troops, only a few Japanese officers knew that the Eighth Route Army was attacking from behind, and the captain of the supply team was obviously not among them.

Immediately, the troops were ordered to plunge towards the gap between the cornfields not far away, but the speed of the horses was too fast, and the two sides collided head-on as soon as the convoy entered halfway.

The leader of the team was Han Mengzi, the commander of the Fifth Cavalry Company. Han Mengzi was stunned when he saw this situation. Originally, he wanted to see if there was a small group of Japanese troops on the periphery of the battlefield. soldier.

There is no reason to let go of the fat that was sent in front of him. Without hesitation, he drew out his saber and shouted at the surrounding soldiers to charge up.

The squadron leader of the Japanese army was also stubborn. They all ran into the cornfield, turned around and ran out, and then organized soldiers to use the carriage as a cover and start shooting.

The distance between the two sides was not far at all, and they were still within sight, and the little devil was restrained by the luggage and the wounded.

In a blink of an eye, the fifth cavalry company divided into two groups and attacked along both sides of the convoy. Han Mengzi rushed to the front with his horse, and a little devil near the carriage was cut down immediately. His saber was on his neck, and the blood couldn't stop slipped out.

Then he whizzed past and continued to aim at the target in front of him. Unexpectedly, the second little devil was very shrewd. Seeing the oncoming saber, he got under the carriage.

Han Mengzi slashed on the side of the carriage, causing pain in his mouth.

That is to say, in less than a minute, the cavalry company killed the Japanese army's supply team, and then turned its horse's head around, and surrounded the remaining twenty or so little devils.

The little devils were all short in stature, and the soldiers of the cavalry company were all riding on tall horses. The little devils leaned together, and the cruel and rapid killing just now made these heavy soldiers tremble with fear.

"Da da da!" There was a burst of gunfire, and the three light machine guns of the fifth company of the cavalry fired their might, completely wiping out the remaining little devils.

At the end of the battle, Han Mengzi felt a little unsatisfied, smashed his mouth, and put the saber back into the scabbard.

"Company commander, there are many little devils and wounded soldiers in the car, what should we do?" It was the soldier Han Mengzi brought over from southern Hebei who spoke.

Han Mengzi also had a headache looking at these wounded little devils. When he was fighting, all the wounded little devils who could move immediately, within Han Mengzi's reach, were repaired.

Now that the battle is over, according to the discipline of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese soldiers who put down their weapons are considered prisoners, let alone wounded soldiers.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the battle, Zhu Dashan heard gunshots not far away, and rushed there immediately with his men.

Seeing Zhu Dashan coming, Han Mengzi threw out the problem: "Commander, what should we do with these little devils and wounded soldiers?"

"How to deal with what? Do you need to be soft when dealing with little devils?"

"You guys just came here, so there are some things you don't know. Now let me tell you, there is an unwritten rule in our Tainan Military Region. If you meet a little devil, you will not be left alive, except for those who surrendered very sincerely!" Zhu Dashan faced the cavalry. Said the soldiers of the fifth company.

"Go, let's see if these little devils are sincere or not!" Zhu Dashan immediately asked the guards to come forward to make a show.

I saw the guard approaching a carriage, and grabbed the little devil on the carriage with his hands: "Hey, little devil, surrender?"

This little devil also couldn't understand Chinese, and was seriously injured. His eyes rolled, and when he saw the Eighth Route Army surrounding him, he couldn't help cursing: "Baga! Die, die!"

"Damn it, you still dare to scold me at this time!" The guard suddenly became angry, pulled out the bayonet, and directly stabbed the little devil's wounded soldier in the chest.

The little devil's wounded soldier didn't expect the Eighth Route Army soldier in front of him to strike so suddenly. He gripped the bayonet tightly with both hands, and the guard immediately turned the handle of the knife.

The little devil's wounded soldier's eyes widened, and he swallowed his last breath unwillingly.

"Captain, isn't it good to do this?" Han Mengzi asked hesitantly.

"What's wrong, the little devil won't surrender to the wounded soldiers, and insults the soldiers, what's the point of leaving him alive? Besides, this is what our commander wants!" Zhu Dashan waved his hand and said.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and do it, the army of little devils will come in a while!"

It was just because of discipline before, but now that they got Zhu Dashan's order, the soldiers of the [-]th Cavalry Company didn't hesitate, and they struck faster one by one.

The soldiers fought, and the company commander Han Mengzi stood beside Zhu Dashan: "Commander, there is something wrong with these little devils. If you want to transport the luggage to the front line, what are you doing with the wounded soldiers? If you transport the wounded soldiers from the front line to the rear, What does it mean to carry luggage?"

"I wonder if the little devil is going to run away?" Han Mengzi expressed his speculation.

"The little devil is going to run. The soldiers who were investigating from Weizi Town just now reported that the gunfire over there has stopped. Looking at the current situation, it is almost inseparable!"

"Okay, you don't need to worry about this matter, immediately pull these carriages and hide these supplies near the mountain where we divided our troops just now!"

"Yes!" Han Mengzi replied.
