Meichuan was sleeping in the tent and dreaming about his cherry blossom romance. Suddenly, he was awakened by the sound of gunfire. Meichuan sat up suddenly, his heart was ecstatic, haha, listening to the gunshot, the gunfire kept clicking.
Shooting, sure, the New Fourth Army was ambushed. Meichuan quickly put on his clothes, stood up and shouted outside: "Haoji, Haoji, gather the team and prepare to attack!"
Koji, who was patrolling, heard Lieutenant Colonel shouting loudly and quickly ran to Lieutenant Colonel's tent. As soon as he arrived at the tent door, he met Lieutenant Colonel Umekawa who was extremely excited.
"Hao Erjun, listen, listen to the gunshots. The New Fourth Army was ambushed by the Imperial Army on time. Oh, it's time. It's time to attack Luoxi. Quickly, send the order, bombard, bombard and clear the way!" Meichuan was sorting out this.
Military uniform, he ordered Haoji.
"Hey!" Hao Er agreed loudly and ran to deliver the order to the small steel cannon team.
Hearing the loud gunshots on the other side of Mantou Mountain, Xiao Ye also woke up in the tent. He pricked up his ears and listened. He was thinking about whether there was an ambush in the New Fourth Army. But the careful little ambition vaguely felt that something was wrong.
How come the machine gun keeps ringing and stopping? Ordinarily, even if it fires in bursts, it won't stop for more than a few minutes. Besides, the other Imperial Army warriors are still firing.
Ono thought as he put on his military uniform, stepped on his sword, walked out of the tent, raised his binoculars and looked into the distance, but it was night after all, and although there was moonlight, he still couldn't see clearly. Ono was observing and thinking, the New Fourth Army
How many people came here? Why was the fighting fierce at Mantou Mountain and the fighting at Laohugou? Ono was about to order the messenger to quickly find out the situation, but he heard the sound of gunfire on the mountainside of Dujuan Ridge. At this time, a messenger could not run away.
Come and report to Ono that the brigade headquarters and the third squadron ambushed in Dujuan Ridge have been attacked.
Ono was suddenly confused. Two of his squadrons were fighting fiercely over there, and there were troops from the New Fourth Army attacking my brigade? The New Fourth Army had always concentrated its superior forces, so how could they use their own forces now?
Spread out?
Ono couldn't care about that much anymore, so he had to rush towards the mountainside with dozens of warriors around him, wanting to see what happened.
Also confused about the situation was the villager from Guanyin Rock. After being awakened by the gunshots, the villager found a high place and raised his binoculars to observe carefully, but he saw that the shooting at Mantou Mountain and Laohugou was abnormal.
Not only that, gunshots were heard from Dujuan Ridge, Ono's brigade headquarters, but where his warriors were lying in ambush, there was no trace of the New Fourth Army. Even the No. 1 Squadron at Maozhuwan, which was at the forefront,
There was no movement. At first, Murakata was a little jealous of Ono's good luck. All three squadrons found the right location. But then Murakata also began to find problems. The clever Murakata quickly sent a telegram to General Matsui and reported his situation.
doubt.
Just when the village was doubting, Captain Lu of the new regiment, who had been waiting at Shuangshi Mountain for a long time, was also observing with a telescope. Although several squadrons under the village had no movement to move closer to Laohugou, for the sake of safety, they
Commander Lu ordered the reconnaissance platoon to extend five miles to conduct reconnaissance. Once the Japanese were found to be approaching here, they would immediately harass them on the spot and retreat while fighting. At the same time, they would also report the news to the new regiment in Shuangshishan, so that the large forces could make full preparations.
Preparations for the big blockade.
Matsui received the telegram from Murakami. After reading the telegram, Matsui put down the "Art of War" in his hand and paced back and forth at his desk. At this time, Ono's telegram also arrived. The situation mentioned in the telegram was the same as what Murakami said.
It's roughly the same. Matsui thought to himself, everyone said that the New Fourth Army did not play according to the chess rules. Sure enough, it was not true. Oh, the three places attacked together. Is it really the so-called besieging Wei and saving Zhao? It seems that the three places attacking together was fake, and another group of people took the opportunity.
Rescuing Luo Xi is real, hehe, Li Sang, Li Sang, I am surrounding Luo Xi is fake, calling for help is real... Thinking of this, Matsui couldn't help but show a look of pride on his face, but this trace of pride was soon replaced by
Matsui hides deeply.
Matsui sent an order to call back, asking Ono to continue the ambush on the spot, mainly to eliminate the enemy's effective forces. He ordered the villagers to stand by on the spot, waiting for an opportunity to find and annihilate the New Fourth Army who came to rescue Luo Xi from another way. After giving the order, Matsui picked up the porcelain tea bowl on the table.
, took a sip, sat on the chair again, and continued to read "The Art of War" in a decent manner.
As soon as Commander Gu and Third Brother of the Special Agent Battalion came into contact with Du Junling's Japs, Ono's Third Squadron realized that there didn't seem to be many people on their side and the firepower was not strong, so they began to tentatively attack the New Fourth Army down the mountainside.
When the third brother saw this battle, he hurriedly suggested to Battalion Commander Gu: "Captain Gu, we can't get stuck by the Japanese, or it will be difficult to escape soon."
"Well, what the third brother said is that, let's divide the special agent battalion into three teams. The first company will follow me and block here first. The second company, led by the second company commander Mengzi, will retreat a hundred meters behind me and establish a defensive front.
The third company commander and you will set up a defensive line a hundred meters behind the second company commander. We will retreat every fifteen minutes and cover each other, so as not to let the Japanese get too close, and to ensure that we are not behind us when we retreat.
What do you think of the attack?" said Battalion Commander Gu.
"Okay, I think so." The third brother replied simply.
Battalion Commander Gu immediately arranged the task, and Captain Mengzi withdrew the second company first. About ten minutes later, the third company commander and the third brother also withdrew with the third company. Battalion Commander Gu led the first company and continued with Xiang.
Fight the enemy who is approaching.
Ono reported to Matsushita via telegram the situation of the New Fourth Army fighting and retreating in Dujuan Ridge. Matsui read the telegram and continued to read his "The Art of War". Murakata received Matsui's order and felt a little more comfortable, but
Listening to the gunshots at Mantou Mountain and Laohugou becoming increasingly rare, I couldn't help but feel a new sense of uneasiness in my heart.
At this time, the sound of shelling came from the direction of Luoxi. When the villagers heard it, they knew that it was the sound of small steel cannons. If nothing else happened, it was Meichuan who was preparing to attack Luoxi.
Just when Meichuan deployed his two squadrons one after another, waiting for the bombardment to end before launching an attack, Meichuan actually never expected that the Third Regiment of the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army had been ambushing south of the Xiaoling River.
Action has started as planned.
The leader of the third regiment, Ji, ordered the regiment to quickly approach Xingqiao under the guidance of Cao Gener and Zheng Hai. In fact, Meichuan was not stupid. Although he was preparing to attack Luo Xi with all his strength, he did not forget to place a small team behind him.
Use a small team to hold Xingqiao with a crooked handle to prevent someone from attacking from behind.
Cao Gen'er and Zheng Hai each took a few soldiers and quietly went under the Xing Bridge. Under the cover of the Xing Bridge, the water from the bridge quietly approached the north of the Xing Bridge. The Xiaoling River was not wide, and the Xing Bridge was built on
On the relatively narrow Xiaoling River, Cao Gener and Zheng Hai each led a group of people to swim from the east and west sides of the Xingqiao Bridge to the north end of the Xingqiao Bridge in less than five minutes.
Led by Cao Gen'er and Zheng Hai, the two groups lurked under the shore, using the cover of the bushes. They only waited for the battle to start on the Meichuan side, and then quickly attacked, captured the Xing Bridge, and allowed the three regiments to quickly pass through the small area.
