Miao Zhihe's guards already understood what he meant when Miao Zhihe asked him to find the two young soldiers who were the youngest in the army and had just turned sixteen. So Miao Zhihe opened his mouth. , this veteran guard who had never resisted Miao Zhihe's orders immediately blocked his mouth.
As a veteran, he understood that since the chief of staff asked him to take the two youngest soldiers away from the battlefield when the battle was about to begin, it meant that the consequences of this battle might not be optimistic, otherwise the chief of staff would never let him. The two young soldiers left at this time unless he had already made up his mind that the whole army would die in battle. In this case, as a guard, he could not leave the chief of staff.
Looking at the stubborn-looking guards, Miao Zhihe asked the two soldiers to rest first, then pulled his guards over and said: "Most of the veterans in the army have been incorporated into the commando team, and the rest are all He is the squad leader and backbone, and he has to lead the troops to charge and kill, so it is not suitable for him to withdraw at this time."
"You are the only veteran who can be mobilized at the moment. Relocating you cannot affect the combat effectiveness of the army, so this matter can only be handled by you. Without the veterans, two recruits who have no actual combat experience and are only sixteen years old will withdraw alone. Go ahead and let them die."
"Now we have lost contact with the main force. The main force does not know our whereabouts, which means that if we fight here, we will not receive any support. Moreover, our battle is a temporary encounter, not in It is part of the battle plan formulated by superiors."
"This leather bag contains all the rosters of several companies, as well as the situation briefing I wrote for Deputy Commander Ma, asking him to pass it on to Chief of Staff Yang. If these things cannot be brought back safely, we people will sacrifice their lives. It can only be regarded as missing on the battlefield."
"If we all die, whether we can enjoy the treatment of martyrs depends on whether you can send this bag back safely. Also, these two soldiers are only sixteen years old. They are still young, only half-grown children. , they still have a long way to go in the future.”
"I can't let these two half-year-old children who have just started to walk in life die here. We old men are not dead yet, and it is not their turn to go to the battlefield. Now I will kill them all." I leave it to you, you must bring them back safely."
"As for the other reasons, I have written them all in the letter. If you go back, no one will hold you accountable. This is not only an order I gave you as the leader, but also a request from me, a veteran, to you. Please brother, You must take these two children back, and you must not tell them the truth, so as not to bring unnecessary psychological burden to them in the future."
Hearing Miao Zhihe's last words, the guard also fell silent. Looking at Miao Zhihe's stern face, he nodded after a long time and placed the last Soviet-style F-1 grenade imitated by the Anti-Japanese Alliance on his body, as well as the one he had been wearing. After leaving the two pistol magazines saved for the leader with Miao Zhihe, he took the two recruits, who were the youngest among all the troops in Xigou and didn't know what the veteran was going to do with him, and turned back in three steps. Gone.
After his guards left with the two recruits and his instructions, Miao Zhihe smiled. He was from the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region. He was a person there for a while and a person for life, even if the situation was different. It is the style of the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region to never back down despite the odds.
Even though I have left there, I will never give up my beliefs and principles. Even if we are outnumbered and the enemy is in total, we will never take a step back. Even if we cannot kill with one blow, we must at least tear them apart fiercely. Bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh and blood, this is the belief of the directly affiliated reconnaissance brigade, and it is also my lifelong pursuit and lifelong belief.
As for now that I have done what I should do, I am just waiting for the bomber group to arrive and find a favorable opportunity to deal the final blow to the Japanese army in front of me. Even if I cannot capture Lieutenant General Noboru Kunizaki this time, I will at least capture the 7th Division. The regiment's brains were smashed to pieces, which marked a significant change in the battle situation at Alukorqin Banner, and also bought some time for the main force to retreat safely.
Time is a strange thing. Many times you want it to go faster, but it is extremely slow. You want it to slow down, but it comes extremely fast. The guard in Miao Zhihe, with two recruits Danzi hadn't gone very far when the dull sound of a bomber's propeller could be heard from the sky not far away.
On the Aruhorqin Banner front, all the Soviet bombers dispatched to bomb the Japanese troops during the day were all Soviet-made bombers. Due to the Soviet Union's relatively backward technology and raw materials, the engines of these Soviet-made aircraft made a loud sound, even if the aircraft was still flying. It's far away, but the engine noise of the plane can be clearly heard on the ground.
Although the plane was still some distance away from the front line of Baichengzi, the sound of the engine could be heard in the distance, letting the anti-alliance troops on the ground in the Yucrack ditch and the Japanese troops hiding in the woods know that the bombers were coming.
At this time, the Japanese troops, who were already very skilled in bombing, had already withdrawn most of their troops, except for a small number of observation posts, into the woods to hide. The radio antenna that had just been set up again was because of the possibility of exposing the target. It was very sexy, so I quickly put it back.
Hearing the group of bombers getting closer and closer in the sky, and the increasingly clear noises coming from the propellers, Miao Zhihe, who knew that the final time was up, stood up without saying anything, patted the dust on his body, and walked directly to Yucrack ditch At the edge of the scene, and behind him, the troops who were ready for battle stood up and prepared their weapons almost at the same time.
In fact, Miao Zhihe knew very well that in his sneak attack, the bomber group in the sky could only attract the enemy's attention. As for the rest of the cooperation, he could not count on it at all. The two walkie-talkies had already Even if it is destroyed, it is impossible to obtain air support.
He knew that he could only rely on himself for this battle, because after seeing Baichengzi, which had been almost razed to the ground, and the current situation around it, he knew that his bomber force would no longer continue to destroy Baicheng. The target should be used as a key bombing target.
The bombers that are about to arrive on top of them are just passing by to bomb the highway from Shaogen to Baichengzi, cutting off the Japanese army on the other side of the Xilamulun River to reinforce the Seventh Division or replenish supplies. As for There will no longer be a bomb falling here in Baichengzi.
Because for the aviation force, before the 7th Division Regiment Headquarters was discovered here, except for a few ruins, there were no targets worthy of air strikes in Baichengzi. Bombing here would only waste the resources for the Anti-Alliance. for precious bombs and fuel.
Therefore, Miao Zhihe knew that the arrival of these bombers would only temporarily distract the Japanese army's alertness. The Japanese army, which had experienced being bombed last night, saw the bombers arriving above them, whether they came to bomb or just When passing by, these Japanese troops would carefully hide themselves, for fear that they would be discovered and expose the location of the division headquarters. They would only reveal themselves again after the bombers flew over.
This was information that Miao Zhihe had obtained through careful observation before, because for Miao Zhihe, who had to ensure a hit, he could not take the risk of alerting the Japanese army, and if he wanted to do this , must conduct rigorous reconnaissance and obtain first-hand intelligence before taking action.
In order to get first-hand information, after arriving at the Baichengzi front line and discovering the location of the 7th Division's regiment headquarters, Miao Zhihe carefully and patiently observed for a whole hour, even the general direction and direction of each bombing attack by his own bombers. He observed all the directions.
It is precisely because of this meticulous and prudent approach that he clearly knows that the bombers flying over him now will not take any action against Baichengzi. All follow-up actions can only be done by himself. Implement it with your subordinates.
When the Japanese troops on guard at the outer perimeter temporarily abandoned their outer guard positions due to the arrival of the bombers, and all retreated into the woods to avoid the bombers, and a few observation posts also retracted their heads into simple concealment areas, Miao Zhihe did not hesitate at all. Yes, the commando team was given a signal to take immediate action.
In fact, if this place had not been burned by the anti-Japanese napalm bombs, Miao Zhihe need not be careful, because in this grassland area, even in early autumn, the grass has begun to wither, but the dense grass is half a person tall. , let alone his commando team of dozens of people, even if there are thousands of people lurking here, it is difficult to be easily discovered.
In this era, there is no such thing as overgrazing by later generations, causing grassland degradation. The grass on the grassland is so short that it cannot even cover the horses' hooves. Only shallow grass can have no horses' knees. This is not a simple statement. The current Inner Mongolia prairie, We are still in a situation where cattle and sheep are invisible to the wind and grass. The vast prairie can provide natural barriers and cover for the troops' latent operations.
But since the Arukorqin Banner battlefield started, the situation here has undergone fundamental changes. Last night's bombing and several napalm bombs burned this place to a white field, not to mention half of the people within dozens of kilometers around it. The tall grass was gone, not even half of the grass was left, it was all turned into ashes.
As for the reason why the forest survived and was only half burned, it is because there is an earthen wall in the forest that was built in an unknown age and is still as tall as a person and extends several hundred meters south from Baichengzi. And a small river with not enough water under the earth wall blocked the fire scene, and the wind had not picked up at this time, so it survived.
The 7th Division Headquarters, which had gone through so much trouble to reach the front line of Baichengzi, found that the surrounding area had been burned to ashes. Apart from the ruins of the walls in Baichengzi, there was almost no hiding place. What was left of this area? The lower half of the forest was naturally the first choice. It was just the work of the aviation force, but it brought some trouble to Miao Zhihe.
The surrounding area of the target was burned to a white ground, and the visual distance was extremely good. If he wanted to get as close as possible without alerting the Japanese troops who were close at hand, he could only find a tactical way, but these bombers were just passing by after all. , which did not give him much time. Less than fifty meters away from the edge of the woods, the good luck of Wei Zhuang and his men finally came to an end.
With the sound of a gunshot, a battle broke out on the edge of a relatively small forest north of Baichengzi that completely ended the 7th Division. Although this battle was not large in scale, it had a profound impact on the entire battle. The subsequent impact was quite profound, and in some aspects, it was not inferior to the impact of the sea of fire tactics created by Yang Jicai on the front line of Shizuishi.
The remnants of the 7th Division, whose brains were knocked out and left without command. The most senior officers were just two major staff officers assigned to supervise the operations. In a short period of time, they were drowned in the rare momentary opportunity that Yang Jicai seized. During a wonderful counterattack.
