Chapter 5 The war begins, and the military divisions form an army (34)
The sky gradually darkened. I don’t know if it was due to the influence of gunpowder smoke on the ground. The sky was covered with clouds and looked particularly gloomy. It seemed that God couldn’t stand the suffering caused by war in the world and began to get angry.
Heavy rain falls suddenly. In such a cold winter, if you are caught by the rain, the consequences are obvious. For the army, unless it is extremely necessary, they generally will not march on such a rainy day.
This sudden rain was naturally not a good thing for the Sino-Japanese warring parties, and for the Japanese army on the offensive side. However, fortunately, they brought enough rain gear and drove their generals near Lizhuang, so it was a disaster. It was not too embarrassing. Of course, even so, because the rain came too suddenly and violently, except for those sitting in the car, the Japanese soldiers were all drenched. In this case, It was impossible for the Japanese army to continue to advance. Not to mention that they had never been good at night fighting. Even without this reason, they would not have been able to march and fight while wet. Therefore, when the first-class large force entered Lizhuang, Doihara ordered Rest on the spot and send sentries around to prevent the 38th Division from making a sneak attack at night.
As for night battles, if the Japanese were not good at it but were not afraid of it before the Great Wall War and Xifengkou Battle, then since the 29th Army’s night attack, the Japanese army has had a sincere disapproval of the 29th Army’s night attack. fear,
For the 38th Division, the rain undoubtedly came too soon. Zhang Zizhong was waiting anxiously in the headquarters when he suddenly heard a "crackling" sound coming from the roof. He immediately froze and shouted in surprise for a while: "It's raining, heavy rain." Then he rushed out of the house, "Great, Xiao Li, hurry up, prepare to send a report to the 112th Brigade, 113th Brigade and 114th Brigade. The plan has changed." Quickly walked to the map, circled the word "Lizhuang" with a pencil, and continued: "The 112th Brigade left a regiment to contain the Gao Shujia Division, and the other troops rushed to Lizhuang in the rain overnight; The 13th Brigade and the 114th Brigade were dispatched from the original ambush position, inserted into Lizhuang from the left and right, and told Liu Zhensan that they would block Dofeiyuan's retreat to the concession for me at all costs."
"Yes." The ticking telegram rang.
According to the original plan, Guo Biao and the others were preparing to launch a strong attack during the day. Ouyang Yun's plan was very simple. After beheading them, he would directly lead most of the little Japs into the 38th Division's ambush circle. However, when a wolf sent by Guo Biao The tooth warriors discovered that Doihara did not move the headquarters forward or back, but was in the middle position. Guo Biao could only wait for darkness to make things easier. After all, they only had nearly a hundred people. With this manpower, they would have to attack more than 10,000 people. The surrounding command center of the 108th Division is a joke, let alone implemented. In this era, there are no helicopters for precise delivery, so infiltrating under the cover of night is the only feasible way.
When the heavy rain fell, Guo Biao and the others had already sneaked back to the starting point and rejoined the team members who stayed outside Lizhuangzhuang. For the sake of safety, everyone retreated nearly five kilometers and then hid in small groups. , Then, Guo Biao called several squadron leaders and began to discuss the next action plan.
"It seems that we can only enter in disguise." Guo Biao frowned as he said this, and cursed in Japanese: "Bage Yalu."
It's a bit ridiculous to say that this man is considered a powerful figure in the Xuebing Army. Since Ouyang Yun stipulated that each soldier of the special brigade such as Langya and Da Dao must be proficient in a foreign language, he had no choice but to start learning Japanese. But after studying for more than a month, he still only knows the simplest ones such as "Saeyunara", "Miximixi", "吆西", etc. If he goes deeper, then he has mastered nine out of ten. ,,I don’t know anything anymore,
Several squadron leaders undoubtedly remembered this point about the captain, and the corners of someone's mouth suddenly cracked. One of them said: "Guo Brigade, let our squadron be the vanguard this time. Some of my young men are proficient in Japanese." There are quite a few.”
"Why you? No one in our squadron can speak Japanese."
…
"Stop arguing, I will definitely lead the team myself this time." Guo Biao waved his hand, bringing up a shower of raindrops.
"No, brigade, your Japanese..."
"What's wrong with my Japanese? Humph, don't underestimate me. I don't study hard. If I study hard, I might catch up with that stinky girl now." Guo Biao suddenly felt a little toothless when he mentioned the word stinky girl. Itching, but I don’t know whether it’s hate or longing, and several squadron leaders looked at each other, and collectively snickered, and looked at him with a little ambiguity in their eyes,
This smelly girl's surname is Hua Mingyue. She is originally from Shenyang. Because her father often has business dealings with the Japanese, she is so smart that she also learned to speak beautiful Japanese under the witness. The family moved from Shenyang to Anyang. After Qiu Qiu, the little girl joined the army. Because of her outstanding Japanese, she was selected by the military general staff to join the teaching brigade. Later she was sent to teach Japanese to the special soldiers. The little girl was not very old. In Guo Biao's words, that is He didn't eat as much rice as he did, but he was very assertive as a teacher. Guo Biao was a man, so he certainly didn't have the consciousness to be a student. The two of them went back and forth as if they had horns, and they were making trouble. When the illness was at its worst, the little girl once moved Ouyang Yun over with tears in her eyes, and the latter didn't know what was going on. He looked at the two of them for a while and made a surprising discovery: You two look so good as husband and wife, could this be it? As soon as the little girl heard the legendary song about a woman singing about her husband following her, she stopped doing it on the spot. Her big eyes were as wide as bells, and she said angrily: "Master, do you think you can talk like that?" Guo Biao's old face flushed. Turning red, almost feeling like running away, he echoed: "That's right, Master, please don't talk nonsense." Even though he said this, his eyes could no longer leave the little girl's pretty face. Under his gaze, the latter blushed so much that she almost bled. However, a teacher has the dignity of being a teacher after all. After a moment, she said to Ouyang Yun very rudely: "Master, please watch this matter." Let's do it, I can't teach this student." He stamped his feet and prepared to leave.
Ouyang Yun laughed, and then said with a pretentious face: "Captain Guo, it seems that the fault of this matter is all yours. Well, when you go back, write a good review and give it to Teacher Hua. Remember, you can Don’t write your self-criticism as a love letter.” After saying that, he winked at Guo Biao and said,
Guo Biao was not a fool. How could he not understand the true meaning of this sentence? His face turned even redder and he could not speak. After Teacher Hua glanced at him, he thought of something and stomped away.
After that day, the Langya soldiers discovered that their Guo Brigade seemed to have changed. The man who once dismissed Japanese now began to listen carefully and take notes. Although they didn’t know how much he had learned, One thing is worthy of recognition. With his leading role, Teacher Xiaohua’s class is much more enjoyable...
As the night got darker, the rain became colder and colder. Even with raincoats to protect them, many soldiers couldn't help but sneeze. Of course, in this situation, everyone covered their mouths tightly with their hands when they sneezed. , I'm just afraid that I will expose the entire brigade's target just because I am alone.
I don't know if it is because of Ouyang Yun's example that the senior officers of the Xuebing Army rarely put up airs in front of ordinary soldiers. Therefore, although Guo Biao behaved very harshly during training, in private, he and his subordinates We have a pretty good relationship, so several squadron leaders dared to show snickering expressions.
"Ba Ge." I don't know if it was because he thought of Teacher Xiaohua. Although it was a cold rainy night, Guo Biao still felt warm in his heart. He knew the origin of the expressions of his subordinates, which made his old face turn red inexplicably. , the whole Langya now knows about what happened between him and Teacher Xiaohua, and what makes him feel a little uneasy is that after he handed over his self-examination, which was actually a love letter, the little girl didn't react at all, did she? He looked down on himself as a vulgar soldier. Hey, if I had known this, I should have studied hard when I first went to the private school. Teacher Xiaohua made Captain Guo's hard heart soften on this rainy night. He said "Ba Ge" "It seems a little out of breath,
"Guo Brigade, let's go to our squadron." The squadron leader who was the first to ask for battle heard the problem and asked tentatively,
Guo Biao glared at him, and the latter immediately calmed down, hoping that the former would select his squadron for the task of "capturing the king".
In a relatively luxurious house in Lizhuang, temporary electric lights were turned on in the main hall. Not far away, a diesel engine used for power generation roared. Amidst this somewhat irritating sound, Doihara paced slowly with his hands behind his back. Around the two Eight Immortals tables put together in the middle of the main room, several Japanese military staff officers were doing drawing work and discussing something in a low voice.
About five minutes later, several staff officers raised their heads, and one of them said: "General, we have made detailed calculations. If we go directly from here to the 38th Division military camp, the emergency march will only take two hours. If it is all vehicles, it will take about half a day." "About an hour." "How many vehicles do we have in total now."
"Including armored vehicles, there are a total of 347 vehicles, which can carry about 8,000 people at a time. Do you want to notify the commander of the Nakano Brigade to mobilize all their vehicles overnight?"
"Of course, whether we can win this battle depends on this. I hope it will be a rainy day tomorrow."
