Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1477
It takes a certain amount of time for the mustard gas to dissipate. Therefore, although the 120th Field Artillery Regiment made a successful attack and created a defensive gap in the frontline positions of the defenders, Saburo Miura did not dare to let the 65th Infantry Regiment immediately launch a charge. Quietly waiting for the best time to attack.

On the front line of Yushan, if the Japanese army did not attack, they would have used the most cruel means as soon as they made a move.More than a thousand students fell under the mustard gas, and because it was an erosive gas, many students died in terrible conditions.Some died of pain due to festering, pus and bleeding all over their bodies, and most of them had difficulty breathing because of inhaling too much poisonous gas, and even scratched their own throats, but it didn't work, and they suffocated to death.

The Xue Bingjun has popularized the knowledge of gas bombs. In the headquarters converted from the former Hufeng Primary School, Du Linzi and a group of officers under him were filled with righteous indignation.Du Linzi clenched his hands tightly, bit his lower lip to bleed, and said harshly: "Blood for blood!
On the front line of Yushan, as soon as the Japanese army came up, they gave Xue Erjun a note of Mawei.Leping and Dexing, although the Japanese offensive looks aggressive, it seems a bit lacking in strength.Especially in Leping, after two brigades of the 101st Division were disabled in a row, their offensive suddenly weakened, and began to show a trend of thunder and rain.Gao Yongxiang, the commander of the [-]th Division of Xue, presided over the defensive operations in Yingtan. This made him feel uneasy, worrying that the Japanese army's open attack and covert defense would not be conducive to the sneak attack of the Third Guerrilla Division.

In order to prepare a New Year gift for Hirohito, Hata Shunro and Guzhuang Qianlang excitedly launched a New Year strategy.They first replaced the 101th Division with the 16st Division and the mixed [-]th Brigade, and then paralyzed the cadet army by pretending that they would also celebrate the New Year.Secretly reached a tacit understanding with Matsui Iwane, and wanted to confuse the judgment of the Xuebing army by blooming in more places.

Ye Zhao made a good judgment. Yushan was indeed the main attack direction of the 5th Army, but it was only one of them.Hata Junliu's ambition not only wants to capture Shangrao and Yingtan, but also wants to wipe out the Second Army.The three divisions of the Second Army, plus one brigade and one regiment of the directly-administered troops and the Shangrao and Yingtan Self-Defense Corps, have a combined number of no more than 4.5, while the Fifth Army plus Hata Junliu's direct troops have 5.The strength of the Japanese army was four times that of the Xuebing army, and they also had control of the air. No wonder Shunroku Hata had such an idea.

In the plan of Hata Junliu and Guzhuang Qianlang, Yushan is the main direction of attack on the surface, while Leping is another main line of attack in the dark.Not to mention Yushan, the two divisions of the Japanese army plus an independent tank brigade and a puppet army brigade have an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength and equipment.What about Leping?It goes without saying that the Japanese army has a division plus a mixed brigade. It goes without saying that the advantage in strength is self-evident, but its biggest advantage is that the mixed fourth brigade has not shown its face so far. direction to launch a sneak attack.

At about eleven o'clock, when the 101st Division launched an attack on the [-]th Xue Brigade again, more than ten thousand devils who were mixed into the [-]th Brigade, under the leadership of the brigade commander, Major General Xincang Yinong, took the puppet attack of a regiment. The army and a brigade of devils were the vanguard. They took the military card to leave the city from the north gate of Leping, and turned westward along a road.

At around 11:30, at the head of Wengjia Village on the north bank of the Le'an River, where Guanfeng Township is located [-] kilometers west of Leping, several figures gather together and whisper something amidst the intermittent sound of New Year's Eve firecrackers.

"Boss Tie, I found out, this is Wengjia Village, Guanfeng Township, about ten kilometers away from Leping County!" said a short black shadow.

"Boss Iron" is naturally Jiang Tietou, the eldest of the five Jiang family brothers.Their reconnaissance battalion operates with the third guerrilla division and is responsible for reconnaissance operations.The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion had fast legs, at least about ten kilometers away from the main force.After they entered the boundary of Leping County an hour and a half ago, they dispersed, searched for the Japanese military camps, and scouted the surrounding terrain in order to find the best entry point for the main force to raid Leping County.

Wengjia Village is the meeting point chosen by Jiang Tietou.Every five minutes, Jiang Tietou and his brothers climbed up a big tree next to them and issued a signal with a flashlight. After a quarter of an hour passed, a team of scouts followed the signal and returned to the assembly point.This team of scouts included Huang Zhongming, a new recruit, so Jiang Tietou specially told them not to go too far.As for this small team, they made an astonishing discovery after walking only about three kilometers.

The captain of this team is the company commander Meng Taishan.He looked extraordinarily excited, and after receiving the signal, he ran up to Jiang Tietou and said, "Boss, guess what we found?"

"Don't be tricky! Say it!"

"Dense devils, at least one alliance! Boss, I suspect that the little devils want to sneak attack by detour, and the target is most likely Yingtan!"

Jiang Tietou became nervous and asked: "Really!?"

Montaigne nodded affirmatively.

"How far are they from us, and in what direction are they going?"

"It's directly north of us, heading west. Boss, hurry up and report to Master Jiang, we may be able to ambush them!"

"It's not up to you to decide this kind of thing. Xiao Liang, call the headquarters of the Third Division immediately!"

Soon, the call was connected.At this time, the third guerrilla division, led by Jiang Tiezhang, walked along the Le'an River to the area of ​​Guzhen Town.After receiving this information, Jiang Tiezhang turned the troops to advance in the northeast direction, and at the same time found his third brother Jiang Tieyao and the three brigade commanders under his command to discuss countermeasures.

"Brother suggested that we set up an ambush by the devils, and I have asked him to verify the specific strength of the Japanese army. Third brother, what do you think?"

Jiang Tieyao: "We went to Leping for a sneak attack. Since the devils came to our door, it would be great. We lack heavy weapons, and it is very difficult to attack the city, but it is easier to control the strength of the field. Take the time to choose an ambush position, so that you have time to make more preparations!"

The officers of the guerrilla unit of the Xuebing Army liked to play sneak attacks and ambushes the most, and the three brigade commanders naturally had no objections.Jiang Tiezhang personally got in touch with Jiang Tietou and judged that the Japanese army's target was either Yugan County or YT City. After confirming the direction of the Japanese army's advance, he immediately decided to place the ambush on Tietou Peak, Lefeng Town, on the south bank of the Le'an River. .Tietou Peak is only about 500 meters away from the surface of the Le'an River, just enough to guard the only Zhangyang Iron Cable Bridge in this area.Although it was cold and freezing, the Japanese army could cross the ice and the river, but once the war broke out and the ice surface was blown open, the only way for the Japanese army to continue going south was the Zhangyang Iron Cable Bridge.

After the location of the ambush was determined, the third guerrilla division quickly turned to the northwest, and then rushed to the Tietoufeng area half an hour ahead of the Japanese army.The seventh guerrilla brigade ambushed directly on Tietou Peak, and the eighth and ninth brigades crossed the river. The eighth brigade first sent people to Guantang Village on the opposite bank of Zhangyang to greet the villagers, and then laid a large number of mines at the east and north ends of the village. Then they ambush to Houlang, 500 meters west of Guantang Village.The Eighth Brigade was ambushing on the left wing, and the ambush point of the Ninth Brigade was naturally on the right wing. They first planted a hundred Raleighs on the main road, and then spread out to the east, lurking directly in the snow.

Jiang Tiezhang's direct troops were in ambush on a hill opposite Tietou Peak. He set up his headquarters on a flat ground on the hill, and then contacted Jiang Tietou again, asking the latter to report the movements of the Japanese army at any time. , Wholeheartedly began to wait for the mixed fourth brigade to enter the ambush circle.
