On June 18, at noon, Fei Chengqing used one of his regiments to replace the group of bandits on a mountaintop called "Chizi Peak" about 300 kilometers west of Longyan.
Li Hanhun did not take command personally today, but handed over the command to his brigade commander Li Ganchuang.
"Chizi Peak" is not an isolated mountain. There are connected mountains on both sides of it in the southeast. And this "Chizi Peak" is a little far away from the main peak of this mountain range, and both the main peak and the main peak are shaped like human figures, so it is called "Chizi Peak". "And names like "Ci Mu Peak",
"Chizi Peak" is undoubtedly the most steep among this mountain range. Although there are two roads up the mountain, the road leading to "Cimu Peak" requires passing through a trestle that is about 200 meters long and only about one meter wide. , the standard "one man can pass the barrier and ten thousand men cannot open it", so the only thing that can really go up the mountain is this mountain path of Qianshan.
It is said to be a mountain path, but it is actually a stone path with a width of about one meter and winding around the mountainside. On this stone path, there are at least three passes that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, after just obtaining the topographic map here , Li Hanhun was worried, there were not many bandits, just a few thousand, but how much would it cost to capture them? If the casualties were too large, then it would be a success but no success.
Among the three divisions under Li Hanhun, there are many generals who are good at fighting tough battles. Among them, if Li Ganchuang considers himself second, then absolutely no one would dare to consider himself first.
After learning the detailed terrain, Li Ganchuang immediately asserted: "It's definitely not possible to fight head-on. It seems that we can only find a way from other aspects." Two days before the departure of the large army, he sent his own guard company commander Yu Changhou to ask him to Lead a few capable men to explore the road.
Yu Changhou lived up to expectations. After climbing mountains and wading in rivers day and night, he came back and reported: There is a place where you can go up the mountain, but...
Li Ganchuang felt unhappy when he heard what he said. He punched his chest hard and said, "What, but that is, let's be honest, don't forget that you are a soldier of our 'Chuang' battalion."
The title "Chuangziying" was given by Ouyang Yun.
Li Ganchuang's battalion had a good way of fighting as a group. Although the final ranking was not ideal, it was because of the restrictions of the terrain. After watching their battle process, Ouyang Yun said: "Their brigade commander is Li Ganchuang." Well, my brothers really dare to break into minefields. Well, this is because it is an exercise. If it is actual combat, I can say that your tactics will be effective. Of course, casualties are inevitable. , I’ll call you ‘Chongzi Camp’ from now on.”
When Yu Changhou said this, he immediately revealed his discovery: Under the trestle leading to "Cimu Peak", I found that the mountain can be climbed, and the gang did not arrange many people on the opposite side of the trestle. If we can Go up from below and kill the defender, then attack its back through the trestle.
"Can't we attack directly from the trestle? Can we bring cannons?"
"No, those bandits have built two bunkers on the other side of the trestle. There is no way to fire the cannons. If we attack directly through the trestle, we can pass at most two people at a time. This is equivalent to a living target. If they choose to climb, it will be difficult for them. Found it, Brigade, I looked carefully, the guards stayed in the bunker and didn't come out, but..."
"Ball, you failed again."
"Yes, it's just that the climbing is very difficult. Of the eight of us, I was the only one who climbed up. Without a few people working together, it would be impossible to climb the two bunkers. Brigade, I suggest you borrow a few people from Langya."
"If you don't have ambition, it's hard to get a fight, and you have to find other troops to borrow people, but is it really that difficult?"
"Yes, look at my hands." Yu Changhou said and spread his palms for him to see. Li Ganchuang looked at his hands that were messy with the potion and immediately frowned. After a while, , He said: "Okay, I'll ask Guo Biao to borrow a few people, shame on his mother, this old boy should laugh at me this time."
While Li Ganchuang was looking for Guo Biao to borrow someone, Mu Jiandie, who had just received the latest information, was reporting to Ouyang Yun: "Commander, the latest information is that the bandits on 'Chizi Peak' have been replaced by Fei Chengqing's people. , and they are his three most elite regiments, but the strange thing is that Fei Chengqing’s order was to stop fighting in moderation.”
"Oh." Ouyang Yun frowned: "I heard that the 'Chizi Peak' is not easy to fight. Enough is enough. It seems that Fei Chengqing doesn't want to offend us too much. Why, he is so sure."
"Yes, I heard from the insider that Fei Chengqing kept trying to give us some color."
"Li Hanhun sent Li Ganchuang this time. It doesn't matter. The old Cantonese people have always been coaxing. It's good to make them suffer a little. But if it doesn't work, I will pull the Wolf Fang up. Humph, don't say He is a regiment, he is a brigade, and Langya can kill them all if he goes up."
"Chizi Peak", the battle finally started. In order to cover the actions on the back mountain, Li Ganchuang built up the attack momentum on the front mountain. Starting at 12:30 noon, he let the artillery battalion blast towards the mountain, occasionally returning fire. Send a platoon of infantry to pretend to attack,
Behind a bunker halfway up the mountain, Fei Chengqing ignored the sound of explosions far and near and looked down the mountain with a telescope. After a while, he smiled and said to the adjutant beside him: "I've heard that the Xuebing Army is rich. Now it seems that it is indeed true, just like the cannonballs are free, but is this method effective? Is it any different from setting off firecrackers?"
The adjutant also laughed and said, "Look at those soldiers. They turned around and ran down the mountain as soon as our guns were fired. I seriously doubt whether they can really defeat the Japanese army of students."
"Perhaps they were from the original Cantonese clique. Huh, Ouyang Yun, that guy, dared to let them come out and embarrass themselves. The original Iron Fourth Army of the Guangdong clique was a strong force, but the ones that followed were just fake characters." He said as he said. While continuing to observe, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He asked the adjutant: "Why does it feel a little wrong? The people below seem to be acting. Qiangmin, are you really sure there are only two roads on this mountain?"
"Yes, you also went to see the trestle. It's true that one man can block it and ten thousand men can't get through it."
"No, come on, follow me to the trestle and call the security company."
I have to admit that Fei Chengqing's sense of smell is quite sharp, and he could tell there was a problem just by feeling. After watching Yamashita's performance for nearly an hour, he finally woke up.
However, for the few soldiers of Langya and Yu Changhou, can they seize the trestle before Fei Chengqing arrives?
This will inevitably become the key to determining the outcome of this battle.
