Age of Rebirth

Chapter 560 Constant Harassment

While fighting and retreating, more than [-] people from the independent division guard brigade fought fiercely all the way, followed by a regiment of Japanese cavalry, who retreated into a place called Baihuyao, preparing to use the terrain here to stop the tail chase Japanese cavalry.

After retreating into the abandoned ancient village, Shanhu was busy arranging defenses and guards. More than 200 wounded were gathered in several large rooms. Shanhu was not too worried. The guard brigade was equipped with equipment according to the standards of field troops. Yes, in addition to being fully equipped with Suomi submachine guns, there are more than [-] light and heavy machine guns, and more than [-] mortars. In addition, the soldiers have excellent individual combat skills. It's wishful thinking.

The only thing he was worried about was that the division commander Tang Qiuli was in the team. It's here that Tang Qiuli is here.

Shan Hu had an idea. He was going to lead some soldiers to break through overnight to attract the attention of the Japanese army. The rest of the troops, to protect the division commander and the wounded, broke out from the opposite direction. Then there was a faint fire, and he stared at the map intently. [

When Shan Hu shared his thoughts, Tang Qiuli didn't take it seriously, and told Shan Hu that at this moment, the most taboo thing was to divide the troops. At the end, he even said to Shan Hu jokingly, "Aren't you afraid?"Shanhu was furious about it, and then the two talked about a question that both felt strange, why did the Japanese cavalry in this regiment keep chasing after them?Why is it here?

In fact, the reason was still on Shankou. The strategy he used was to surprise him. At the intersection of Xiangyuan, he suddenly encountered the cavalry of the guard brigade, which shocked him into a cold sweat. His first thought was to expose the target. Qiuli detects that this is the vanguard sent to intercept him.

After learning that this was an accidental encounter, and that the opponent's troops were not large, less than 2000 people, he was relieved, thinking that this was an accidental incident, and ordered the brigade not to entangle or stop, and to continue marching, only sending out cavalry. Dispersed the opponent's small group of troops.

After the exchange of fire, the cavalry of the two brigades could not do anything to each other. He felt that something was wrong. The fighting power of the Chinese cavalry was so strong. Did they come for purposeful reconnaissance? Fully exposed, arrived at Xiangyuan.It was only half of the journey, and Tang Qiuli's independent division troops blocked behind, and he couldn't return to Pingjin.

Therefore, he strictly ordered the cavalry of this regiment to wipe out all the Chinese scout cavalry, not to let one go, not to complete the task, and not to return to the team. If Yamaguchi knew that Tang Qiuli, whom he had always dreamed of, was in this Chinese cavalry unit, he would give up all his goals and surround the guard brigade with all his strength, even if he invested more than 9 troops in it, he would not hesitate.

This is the reason why the Japanese cavalry of this regiment pursued so hard. Since he couldn't figure it out, Tang Qiuli didn't put his mind on it. After making contact, Chen Feng called and they had withdrawn to Guocun, north of Xiadian, and the division commander's order had been issued to all troops.

After receiving Chen Feng's telegram, Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief. The time was completely in time. It is now more than [-] o'clock in the evening on January [-]rd, and there are still a few hours before the total attack time. Brother Qiusheng has time to adjust his troops Deployment solved this big problem. He relaxed and sent a telegram to Chen Feng to inform him of his current location and situation, and ordered the deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng to take full charge of commanding the battle. The channels are all under the direction of the teacher, and he is trapped in the ancient village, unable to perform his command duties.

Chen Feng was in a cold sweat when he received the telegram. The division commander was surrounded by a regiment of devil cavalry. He was the closest, but there were only more than 100 people. To help him, he immediately reported the emergency to the deputy division commander. Tang Qiusheng, however, he didn't dare to tell Mei Ting who was evacuated to Guocun together, for fear that she would be worried. At the same time, knowing Mei Ting's temper, he might go out alone to rescue the siege.

Tang Qiusheng, who received the order, was also greatly astonished. He was trying his best to get the troops to the designated place on time. Fortunately, he didn't have to brave the cold wind for a long march. Shankou delivered it to his door, and he received the second telegram He was also in a hurry, Xiaoqiu was responsible for the entire northern war situation, if an accident happened, even if he killed ten mountain passes, it would not be able to make up for the loss.

After looking at the map, he found that Liu Chun's cavalry brigade, who was on standby in Yilin, was the closest to Baihu Kiln, and they were cavalry. They could arrive in more than four hours. He immediately ordered the cavalry brigade to attack Baihu overnight. In the Yao area, the Japanese cavalry of this regiment must be wiped out to ensure the safety of the division commander.

Liu Chun, who received the order, had red eyes at that time. The troops of more than 20 people happened to let the commander and the others encounter this situation and were surrounded. What the hell, the sound of the emergency assembly was hurried in the night With the sound of the sound, teams of cavalry quickly assembled on the threshing ground at the head of the village.

The First Cavalry Brigade is a unit that started as an independent division. Its predecessor was the Cavalry Detachment of the Bloody Hand Regiment. The commander and most of the soldiers followed Tang Qiuli from the northeast to the north of China. It can be said that he and Tang Qiuli experienced all the battles together. , From the initial few hundred people, to today's more than [-] people, it has become a strong force of the independent division.

Liu Chun briefly explained the situation, and the soldiers were blown up on the spot. I heard that the division commander was surrounded by the cavalry of the little devils. The vanguard of the brigade shot into the windy night with snowflakes blinding the eyes like an arrow that left the string. Afterwards, the main force of the brigade also set off immediately.

Tang Qiusheng immediately adjusted the deployment of troops after receiving the telegram of the acting command. He knew very well that his troops should be the first to meet the enemy, and they had to withstand the desperate breakout of more than 9 Japanese troops and buy time for other troops to reach the designated positions. , He is not worried, with the five main brigades in his hands, although the strength is less than that of the Japanese army.

But he waited for work with ease, the firepower must exceed that of the Japanese army, and coupled with the surprise, Yamaguchi would not want to slip away from Xiangyuan. He ordered the troops to start from the blocking point, on the road from Wuxiang to Xiangyuan, densely covered with mines, the width should cover the entire front of the blocking position , The artillery immediately measured the coordinates, and according to the different ranges of the artillery, the echelon configuration, and unified shelling, it was necessary to use the maximum firepower to hit the Japanese army head-on.

After receiving the order, more than 6 troops immediately drove out of Lucheng to build fortifications on the front line of Xiadian and Wuyang. , in the hidden village at the back, use the cauldron of the common people to boil the water, pile up the snow, pour boiling water on it, and after melting one layer, pour another layer on it, not only building various bunkers and firepower points, It also creatively built a lot of ice defense holes.

This kind of fortification, not to mention the Japanese army, even a cannon can't blow it down. At most, a few pieces of ice will be blown up. The warriors in the boiling water are connected to the foggy forward positions. From a distance, it looks like the scene of a hot spring in winter.

All the troops quickly called back, and they must arrive at the designated location on time according to the command of the headquarters, and launch the general attack on time. Tang Qiusheng felt relieved and couldn't help worrying about Tang Qiuli who was surrounded. He knew this brother very well, and he was a person who was not afraid of any danger. , born to be adventurous, and because of this, Qiusheng is even more worried. Xiaoqiu is in the northern war situation alone, and he is the spiritual pillar of the 10,000+ troops. Once, he dare not think about it, knowing that the possibility of unexpected situations is unlikely , It's just worry, this is a kind of brother's worry about his younger brother, it is related to others, and it is caused by family affection.

Tang Qiuli, who was sitting withered in the white fox kiln, listened to the howling wind outside, looked at the mountain tiger with piercing eyes, and was so still that he wanted to move. He asked the mountain tiger: "Huzi, let's just sit like this, wait The little devil came to attack at dawn? Shanhu immediately looked at him vigilantly and said, "What?If you want to do it yourself, stab the little devil a few times, don't even think about it, there is no way, you just stay here, and you can't go there! "[

Being punctured by the mountain tiger, Tang Qiuli sneered a few times. There was really nothing he could do about this guy. Ever since he was injured once in the Northeast, this guy was like a treasure, strictly restricting all his actions, and taking risks at all Things are not allowed to be done, it is so boring, finally got the chance to fight in person, it seems that there is no hope, if he goes by force, this guy can order his subordinates to tie him up, Shanhu looked at Tang Qiuli With a gloomy expression, he laughed triumphantly.

"However, the master's idea is good, and I'm going to adopt it," Tang Qiuli's eyes lit up, and Shan Hu continued, "I don't have your share, just stay here!" Tang Qiuli fell back on the mat like a discouraged ball On the way, Shanhu called the captain of the first branch, and whispered something in his ear. The captain of the first branch nodded again and again, and excitedly went to arrange it. Tang Qiuli swallowed and looked at Shanhu eagerly, but Shanhu turned a blind eye.

After a while, there were fierce gunshots outside, followed by a series of explosions, and the chaotic shouts of Japanese soldiers. Tang Qiuli heard that the Japanese soldiers shouted, "Shoot quickly, the Chinese soldiers are going to break out, the encirclement is shrinking! "More intense gunshots rang out.

He took the binoculars and saw that in the night, Japanese machine guns spewed out tongues of flames, many fires were blown out, and sparks flew up with the strong wind. The first team leader ran in excitedly, "report to the division commander, Captain, the first team dispatched twelve assault teams, stabbed the little devil severely, estimated to kill five or sixty people, and one of them suffered casualties."

After finishing speaking, Tang Qiuli and Shan Hu looked at the two commanders with unsatisfactory expressions and smiled.
