Chapter 1160 The dying struggle of Akashiba Yaezo!
"idiot!"
When Akashiba Yaezo received the message from Kitashirakawa Wash, he was so angry that he said "Baga".
Because it was obvious that Kitashirakawarai's intention was to use his 10th Regiment as cannon fodder.
It's obvious that it's lice on a bald man's head.
After Akashiba Yaezo found out that the situation of the battle was unfavorable to him, he sent a message to Kitashirakawa and requested to withdraw from the battle.
However, Kitashirakawa's call back did not care about the life and death of his 10th Regiment, but asked his 10th Regiment to hold off the Dragon Boat Festival Independent Regiment at Laoye Ridge.
How can this be delayed? After losing artillery and a large amount of heavy firepower, are the only two brigades using light weapons to stick to the No. 3 highland of Laoye Ridge. Are they waiting to be eaten by the opponent one by one?
Akashiba Yaezo had experienced the artillery fire of the Dragon Boat Festival Independence Regiment. When the artillery of the Independence Regiment opened fire in full force, one of his brigade was almost drowned in the fierce artillery fire and smoke.
And if it weren't for the fact that there was only one regiment in the Dragon Boat Festival, he even thought that the one who attacked him would be an artillery regiment.
Therefore, before, Akashiba Yaezo did not believe that his enemy only had one regiment. Because if the enemy force had the vitality of an artillery regiment, then his opponent should have at least one brigade of troops.
However, the intelligence from Bengbu kept emphasizing that there was only one regiment in the Dragon Boat Festival. Chichai Yaezo must resist.
So Chichai Yaezo resisted, and after the battle this morning, he completely understood that these scammers in Bengbu were indeed a trap.
The strength of the two reorganized brigades he had been tricked into was gone, and he still wanted to stay and fight off the last two brigades at hand.
Although Highland No. 3 in Laoye Ridge is located on an important traffic thoroughfare, it can be attacked, retreated or defended. However, it has become a temporary measure at this time.
If Akashiba Yaezo's troops were still at full strength, he would have led his troops to occupy Highland No. 3, which was indeed both offensive and defensive.
But at this time, his strength was only half of what it was before, and he still had to defend three positions. This was simply too far-fetched for him.
What's more, his enemy has the firepower of an artillery regiment. With the few people he has now, I'm afraid it won't take more than two hours for them all to be destroyed in Laoye Ridge.
He had seen the firepower and combat capabilities of the independent regiment. Someone once said that Duanwu was a madman. But he felt that the entire regiment of Duanwu was crazy. Thousands of people charged together, which he found ridiculous even if he thought about it. Because if it were not for the commander
If there is something wrong with the official's brain, who would dare to easily mobilize thousands of people to charge collectively?
Today is not the age of cold weapons. Thousands or tens of thousands of people charge and then bump into each other and fight.
In modern warfare, artillery, machine guns, heavy machine guns, and various high-destructive weapons abound.
Charge in this situation unless the commander's brain is rusty.
But Duanwu did exactly that. But the strangest thing is that he succeeded. His troops of Akashiba Yaezo could not stop the opponent's charge like a madman, and it directly caused the strength of his two brigades to be completely destroyed.
was buried in Laoye Ridge.
It was because he ran fast at that time. Otherwise, how would he, Akashiba Yaezo, have the chance to stand on Highland 3 at this time?
But what to do at this time? He originally planned to gather his troops on Highland No. 3, explain the situation to Bengbu, and then retreat in steps.
But now, Bengbu didn't care about their life or death at all. They also asked him to wait for reinforcements from the 26th Brigade.
And if the 26th Brigade could come, I'm afraid they would have come long ago. Last night, he sent a telegram to the 26th Brigade.
The 26th Brigade's reply was that they were fighting a Chinese armed force of unknown origin. The opponent's firepower was very fierce and very cunning. They attacked them several times, but they could not surround the opponent at all. And to put it bluntly, the Japanese army's third
The 26th Brigade suffered more casualties than Akashiba Yaezo. They were also looking for reinforcements everywhere, so how could they divide their troops to rescue Akashiba Yaezo's 10th Regiment?
Akashiba Yaezo is not a fool. If he can't understand such a point, then there is no need for him to be the captain of the alliance.
But at this time, what should he do? Should he disobey Prince Beibai's order? I'm afraid he wouldn't dare even if he had more courage.
Therefore, the top priority is to hold on and hope that Prince Beibai's order will work and that the Imperial Army from the 26th Brigade can be mobilized for reinforcements.
Little did Chichai Yaezo know that his last hope might be dashed, because at this time it was not only Zhou Weiguo’s 522nd Regiment that was fighting against the Japanese 26th Brigade, but also the independent Eighth Route Army Hutoushan troops.
regiment, and a brigade of the 115th Division.
The relationship between Dragon Boat Festival and the 115th Division is very good. From the division headquarters to the brigade headquarters, there is no one who does not praise Dragon Boat Festival.
And especially with the addition of Zhang Renjie, he always praises everyone he meets during the Dragon Boat Festival for his wisdom and his keen eye for recognizing heroes.
Zhang Renjie is a character in the film and television drama Snow Leopard.
He was originally a special commissioner sent by his superiors to work in Hutou Mountain, but unfortunately he only had theoretical knowledge and no practical experience. As soon as he arrived at the base, he eagerly asked to lead the team to join the battle.
Originally, Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu had planned a small ambush battle with a guaranteed chance of victory and almost zero losses because of Zhang Renjie's initiative to lead the team with him. However, because Zhang Renjie was so overjoyed with his achievements, he blindly and arrogantly commanded them, causing a lot of damage in vain.
casualties.
After the battle, Zhou Weiguo lost his temper with Zhang Renjie, and the two of them formed a knot.
Later, when Jun Takeshita led a commando to raid Yangcun, political commissar Li Yong died trying to cover the transfer of the radio station and confidential member Zhang Xiangfu into the tunnel. In grief, Zhou Weiguo began to reorganize the team. At this time, due to the vacancy of the political commissar position, his superiors appointed Zhang Renjie
Supplementary appointment as political commissar of the Hutoushan Independent Regiment.
As soon as Zhang Renjie took office, he immediately carried out the "rescue campaign" of the Hutoushan Independent Regiment in accordance with the instructions of his superiors.
The so-called "rescue campaign" refers to the strict investigation of traitors who have sneaked into the revolutionary base areas and the purification of traitors and traitors within the party.
Zhang Renjie segregated the cadres of the regiment in batches and conducted separate inspections. Finally, it came to the head of regiment leader Zhou Weiguo and deputy regiment leader Xu Hu. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the cadre review work, Zhang Renjie seconded a special cadre review team from his superiors to be responsible for guarding the cadres.
Persons subject to investigation.
When Zhou Weiguo was furious when he was isolated for investigation, Zhang Renjie retorted: "Zhou Weiguo, do you think it's still time for you to start a Yitang? Am I afraid of you? Let me tell you, the regiment headquarters is now surrounded by people who are members of the Party."
Pure revolutionary warrior under your command! You’d better explain your own problems as soon as possible, okay?”
Later, Zhou Weiguo was rehabilitated by the special commissioner (former head of the Hutou Mountain Independent Regiment Qiu Ming) who was sent down again by his superiors. Zhang Renjie, who was asked to return to the military division for review, was ambushed by Takeshita Jun's special forces on the way.
captured.
After arriving at the Japanese headquarters, Zhang Renjie preferred to die in the face of coercion, inducement and torture. Under the ridicule of the Japanese commander, he realized that Zhou Weiguo's father, Mr. Zhou Jixian, who he had always mistaken for a traitor, was a liar to the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
All were comrades who contributed to the anti-Japanese war.
Finally, before Zhang Renjie was shot to death by the Japanese army, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Zhou Weiguo, I'm sorry for you."
Therefore, Zhang Renjie is not essentially a bad person.
Of course, he is not a smart person. The principles he adheres to are good, but when he talks about them to death, he becomes a bastard.
As for Zhou Weiguo, he usually rarely talks and would just laugh it off when something happened. So he couldn't deal with people like Zhang Renjie.
But Zhang Renjie was a piece of cake in front of Duanwu. Duanwu only said a few nice words, but he said that he could not find the north. In the 115th Division, he strongly supported and cooperated with Duanwu in this battle.
This was in line with the wishes of the two commanders of the 115th Division, so the 115th Division mobilized a brigade from each department to cooperate with this Dragon Boat Festival operation.
So if the little devil wants to eat the Dragon Boat Festival, I'm afraid they really don't have such good teeth!
