The reason why the 125th Division ambush in the fish intestines in advance is naturally related to the Dragon Boat Festival.
The 125th Division was ordered to attack Liu Taizi Village in order to rescue Tang Jiujiu.
With Tang Jiujiu's status, if he was caught by the Japanese, even Li Zhongren would not be able to survive.
Therefore, Li Zhongren did not dare to neglect this.
He ordered the 125th Division to quickly reinforce, but they were a step late. When they got in touch with Duanwu, Duanwu had already ordered Lao Abacus to lead people to break out from the southeast. Because at that time, Duanwu was leading the cavalry battalion from the southeast.
Come.
Of course, the return to the Dragon Boat Festival was not smooth sailing, and they encountered the Takahashi United Team on the way.
It was at this time that Duanwu thought of one thing, which was to dig a hole for the Japanese.
It's not easy for a little devil to come here, and it's even harder to go so stupidly deep.
If he let people go so easily, Danwu would feel that it was a waste of natural resources and disrespectful to the Imperial Japanese Army.
Therefore, Duanwu contacted Li Zhongren and got the exact news from Li Zhongren that the 125th Division was rushing to help.
The distance from east to west is about 1.5 kilometers.
Letting the infantry chase the cavalry is unrealistic even if you think about it with your buttocks.
Otherwise, Kazukuma Takahashi would not have looked at the terrain and determined that there would be no ambush in the fish intestines.
Thinking of this, the commander of the Japanese vanguard showed a sly smile.
Otherwise, at this time, the commander of the Japanese vanguard force would definitely advise Takahashi that this would be a meaningless pursuit.
The Japanese commander put down his telescope and allowed the Japanese convoy to approach slowly. Because as long as the Dragon Boat Festival didn't leave, he could already predict the outcome of today's battle.
Because this place is really not suitable for an ambush unless his enemy is crazy.
This was unprecedented for the Sichuan Army. There were more than 20 artillery pieces of various types, and the total number of artillery shells was less than 100. However, Commander Chen issued an order regardless of the cost.
However, this little devil had a good idea, but little did he know that he had already entered the artillery coverage of the 125th Division.
Therefore, after the Dragon Boat Festival order was issued, he led two infantry brigades to ambush on the east and west sides of the fish intestine.
He must slowly advance his troops to bring the opponent into his effective range.
And the most important point is that Captain Takahashi has not arrived yet, the reinforcements have just entered the fish intestines, and they are still at least three kilometers away.
In other words, Commander Chen's ambush must be at least 700 to 800 meters away from the Japanese in the middle of the road. At this distance, let alone rifles, even machine guns would find it difficult to hit the enemy.
This distance is not too far, but it is not too close either. If their enemy escapes again after exchanging fire with them, then what awaits them will be an endless pursuit. After all, the opponent is a cavalry, and the Takahashi Regiment will
Just an infantry regiment.
When the Japanese officers of the Japanese vanguard force saw the Dragon Boat Festival stopped, they ordered the troops to advance slowly.
Then during the Dragon Boat Festival, I contacted the 125th Division and asked them where they were. Commander Chen of the 125th Division said: They are still about ten kilometers away from Liutaizi Village.
Duanwu immediately ordered them not to move after arriving at the fish intestines, setting up an ambush in the fish intestines, and launching an attack on the Japanese army from the east and west sides. And everything must be ordered by his signal flares.
So compared with the Dragon Boat Festival, he really felt that he had wasted his time.
Although he did not know Duanwu, he guessed that this person was Duanwu from his position in the cavalry camp, his age, and the fact that he was wearing a Japanese major uniform.
He only waited until he was within a hundred meters of the Chinese cavalry and ordered the entire army to open fire.
Commander Chen ordered that these more than twenty artillery pieces must kill the little devil's iron bastard.
So Takahashi Kazuma ordered the vanguard troops to bite the enemy, and at the same time ordered the remaining troops to rush towards the fish intestines quickly.
The artillerymen are all laughing, because after this battle, the artillery force will probably be disbanded. After all, each of the more than 20 artillery can't even get five shells on average. Even if it is half a base, the shells will be all.
Lighted.
Dragon Boat Festival will die under the gun of his Imperial Japanese Army. As long as he shortens the distance between the two to one hundred meters and spreads out his convoy, 90% of the enemy's cavalry will not be able to escape his Imperial Japanese Army.
of machine gun fire.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with what the Japanese commander said. Because he is thirty-two years old, but he is just a squadron leader.
This is a death order, and Master Chen issued an order regardless of the cost.
In the Sichuan Army Corps, not only did these high-level officers have a favorable impression of the Dragon Boat Festival, but so did the Sichuan Army troops.
Of course, it wasn't that the Japanese commander saw through Dragon Boat Festival's plan, but that he was afraid of scaring away the enemy in front of him.
So the Japanese commander ordered that all Japanese soldiers should not fire at will. He should move his troops to a position less than a hundred meters away from the enemy and then fire at the same time, so as to annihilate the enemy's effective strength to the maximum extent.
The commander of the Japanese vanguard troops believed that their enemies stayed behind to cover the wounded soldiers. Then these people would not escape in a short time.
In this regard, the Japanese commander sighed very much. He really couldn't believe that so many elites of the Japanese Empire died in the hands of a Chinese idiot.
Fortunately, there are infantry among the cavalry, and there are also wounded soldiers.
In fact, this location is not very suitable for an ambush, because the fish intestine runs north to south, which is about five kilometers long, with a flat river.
Commander Chen naturally obeyed his orders. Although Commander Chen of the 125th Division had never seen the Dragon Boat Festival, the name of the Dragon Boat Festival was very familiar to him. In addition, Dragon Boat Festival's boldness and generosity made this Sichuan man admire him.
Moreover, he felt that he might have seen the Chinese madman.
But at this time, no one would question Commander Chen's order because they also knew that the all-powerful Chinese lunatic was in the cavalry camp.
There are no less than twenty artillery pieces of various types in total.
For the convenience of command, Commander Chen concentrated the entire artillery battalion, including the artillery in the two brigades, on the west side of the fish intestine.
Since leaving Sichuan, it can be said that they have been looked down upon by everyone. But only the young commissioner Duan Wu did not regard them as a burden and as beggars.
Therefore, in response to the high expectations of the Dragon Boat Festival, these Sichuan Army brothers also secretly made up their minds to make this battle a success no matter what.
All the artillery had been aimed and the shells were loaded. They only waited for the Dragon Boat Festival signal flare to take off before launching an artillery attack on the Japanese army.
At the same time, the two regiments of the 125th Division had moved to the south side of the fish intestine, blocking the entrance to the fish intestine.
Because today, none of these devils who entered the fish intestines can escape!
