Coincidentally, when Nakajima Qingcun and Ye Zhao were plotting against each other, they naturally did not expect that they would choose to give each other a hard blow on the same night. Nakajima suddenly wanted to draw out more from the already thin troops. When a brigade attacked Yanlie Mountain in a sneak attack, all they wanted to do was to reverse the situation and completely change the situation in Hukou from point to point. Ye Zhao was simpler, because the idea of a sneak attack on Jiujiang was thought up by Ouyang Yun. Of course, because the Twelfth Division The commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Feng Xuehai, had led his people in the Jiujiang area early, so they could always know the various changes of the Japanese army at the first time. From this point of view, Ye Zhao had already gained the advantage before the two sides had even fought. On the 106th Division's side, the leader of the brigade was Major General Hata Miyata, while on the 12th School Division's side, Ye Zhao personally led the team.
It was a cloudy night, with clouds drifting across the sky, giving the moon almost no chance to show its face. At around nine o'clock, several figures appeared behind a row of wooden houses in Ma Tou Bay, five miles northeast of Xingzi County. on the hillside,
It was Feng Xuehai and several soldiers from the 12th Division's reconnaissance battalion led by him. Feng Xuehai was lying under a boulder covered with weeds and softly asked Liao Yuan who was lying behind him: "Are you sure there is only one squadron?"
Liao Yuan said softly: "Yes, camp, what should we do? Should we wait for other teams to come over before taking action?"
"It's too late. The master has changed the time. They will go down to the lake at seven o'clock. If everything goes well, they will appear in the sight of the little devil's reconnaissance post in half an hour at most."
Guo Hanmiao, who was lying three meters away to his right, said: "That's it for the camp, the six of us are enough."
"Hanmiao, you go and be on guard. Everyone else should come closer." Feng Xuehai said, taking out a pocket flashlight from his body.
Others moved over one after another. Feng Xuehai turned on his flashlight and shined it on a spot on the boulder. Then he took out a two-color pencil from his briefcase, handed it to Liao Yuan and said, "Draw out the detailed distribution of the Japanese."
"Okay." Liao Yuan took the pencil and drew the distribution of the Japanese on the stone with just a few strokes.
Feng Xuehai looked at it for a while, then called Guo Hanmiao back, and then began to assign tasks.
Because Ma Tou Bay faces Panyang Lake, the Japanese army arranged a squadron here to be on guard. In the past few days, fighting has been frequent in the Hukou area. Although it is thirty kilometers away from Hukou, you can still hear the rumbling sound. The sound of gunfire, the Japanese troops in Xingzi County were stationed here after entering Jiujiang, so they did not know about the battle on the 2nd. Therefore, compared with the trembling soldiers of the 106th Division headquarters in Jiujiang, the Japanese here still maintained the imperial army. With his confidence and might, he did not pay attention to the Xuebing troops on the other side. At noon today, Nakajima sent a telegram to the Japanese commander Zuo Yunqing in Xingzi County, urging him to step up combat preparations to prevent a sneak attack by the Chinese. Although Zuo Shangyunqing disagreed in his mind, he did not dare to neglect his actions. Therefore, he called the Japanese troops stationed in Ma Tou Bay and other places and asked them to increase patrol teams on the basis of the original warning measures to be responsible for patrols in surrounding areas and to provide timely services. If you discover the enemy's situation, don't be attacked by the Chinese.
Inada Jiro, the Japanese squadron leader in Matou Bay, faithfully carried out this order. He arranged his three teams into three squads, and each squad was responsible for six hours of security work. Among them, except for two people who were left to guard the station, the others A patrol team should be formed to patrol and guard the Panyang Lake around the station.
At about nine o'clock, the Japanese from the other two teams had already fallen asleep. Except for the one in the middle of the row of wooden houses, the lights were on, and the other rooms were dark. Snoring could be heard from several of the rooms.
Feng Xuehai said it was easy, but he actually had no idea. There were 180 people in a Japanese squadron, and even a small team had more than fifty people. There were six of them in total. Let alone a squadron, even if they faced a small team, they actually had no What is the chance of winning, of course, because he must kill the enemy as much as possible before the 36th Brigade lands and reduce the landing resistance, so even if he loses, he can only do his best.
"We also have an advantage. The Japanese are in the light and we are in the dark. We can wait until the patrol is far away from the station before taking action. The commander will arrive soon with the 36th Brigade, so as long as we insist on a certain Time, when the time comes, we will be the ones with the advantage in terms of strength." A Japanese squadron of six people challenged a hundred and eighty people. Even though the soldiers had no fear, Feng Xuehai still did some ideological work.
They first spent about twenty minutes setting up the battlefield, laying booby traps modified with grenades along the path that the Japs must take in pursuit. Then, others lurked, and Feng Xuehai and Guo Hanmiao approached the two standing The sentry at the gate of the Japanese military station,
The two Japanese devils didn't know that the god of death had squatted on their heads, but they were still talking quietly,
Feng Xuehai and Guo Hanmiao took advantage of the cover of trees and night to quietly approach the two Japanese soldiers. They approached the wooden fence outside the Japanese army station and approached the two Japanese soldiers closely. The Japanese army had a gasoline generator and used The electricity provided by the generator was used to install an incandescent lamp at the door. The roar of the gasoline engine obscured their slight footsteps to a certain extent. The two Japs did not know what they were talking about. They were so happy that they did not notice that there was one behind each other. The shadow is approaching,
When he was about five meters away from the two Japs, Feng Xuehai made a gesture to Guo Hanmiao. Guo Hanmiao looked for him nervously while moving in. The distance of about 12 meters was just enough to see him clearly under the weak light at the door. Seeing his gesture, Guo Hanmiao made an OK gesture. The next moment, the two people suddenly accelerated and rushed towards their respective goals.
As soon as they started, the two Japs immediately realized it. They saw the black shadow behind each other almost at the same time, and exclaimed at the same time: "Watch what's behind you." Then the two men turned around instinctively, pulling the bolt of the gun and about to pull the trigger. But it was too late. As soon as they moved, Feng Xuehai and Guo Hanmiao stole the daggers from their hands. Feng Xuehai's dagger hit the enemy's neck just in time. The enemy couldn't scream in pain and fell down. The other enemy was hit. At the center of the mouth, he let out a miserable howl and pulled the trigger at the same time.
"Bah." A gunshot rang out, and soon, lights came on in a house behind the wooden fence.
Guo Hanmiao was very dissatisfied with himself for not being able to kill the Japanese silently like the battalion commander. He cursed angrily: "Shame on his mother." The next moment, with a stoop, he jumped from the Japanese he killed. He took off the grenade holder and hung it on his waist, then put the gun in his hand and stood side by side with Feng Xuehai at the gate of the yard.
The Japanese army reacted faster. They rushed into the yard, and several Japanese soldiers rushed out of a room. Naturally, what greeted them was the dense rain of bullets fired by the Wei Qing assault rifles and submachine guns in the hands of Feng and Guo. The first wave Of the three Japs, the one who rushed at the front realized that the enemy's figure had been beaten into a hornet's nest on his chest and abdomen. The two following him, one was more curious and had his head exposed on the left shoulder of the Japs in front, and was hit by a bullet. The bullet hit and immediately turned into a smashed watermelon; another one saw the opportunity quickly and immediately retracted, so he did not take the bullet. He hid behind the door and watched his two colleagues fall in front of him, shouting in fright. Said: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking."
More Japanese soldiers rushed out of the dormitory. Feng Xuehai and Guo Hanmiao fired calmly with their guns. After emptying the magazines in their guns, they each threw a grenade and then withdrew.
"What's going on?" Squadron leader Inada Jiro rushed out. When he saw the fallen corpse in the room, he was so angry that he couldn't help but waved his pistol and shouted: "It's a small Chinese force, give chase."
"Hai." The Japs responded repeatedly. Dozens of Japs, led by a squad leader, chased out first.
Behind a big tree about thirty meters away from the gate of the Japanese military compound, Feng Xuehai and Guo Hanmiao were standing around. They fired with Wei Qing style guns that had just been replaced with new magazines. After knocking down a few Japanese soldiers, they disappeared into the night. middle,
As soon as they opened fire, the Japanese troops immediately caught up with them with flashlights. The light of the flashlights chased them into the bushes. The Japanese chased them and fired fiercely at the same time. The sound of "pop-pop" gunfire came one after another, and Feng was beaten hard. From time to time, the trees around Guo and Guo made a "creeping" sound.
A small team of Japanese were chased out, but the other Japanese were left behind by the rice field. He was worried that this was a Chinese plan to invade the east and attack the west, so while leaving people to defend, he sent people to find another team leader who was leading the patrol and asked him to Pay attention to the scene in the lake. At this time, he finally believed the phone call from Zuo Yunqing at noon. At first, he thought the captain was just talking casually. Now, he is a little worried that the Chinese people really have some conspiracy.
After the chasing team encountered an ambush and lost more than a dozen people at the beginning of the battle, he became more and more convinced of this idea and hurriedly rang the phone to report to Zuo Shang Yunqing.
When Feng Xuehai and the others were preparing for the war, they had already cut off the little devil's phone line. Naturally, the phone could only produce a blind tone when it was shaken. Now, Daotian was really panicked. If the Chinese really chose Ma Tou If Ma Tou Bay is the site of a sneak attack, they can only come from Changchong or Wuxingli on the other side. Thinking that there is a brigade of the Xuebing Army in Duchang on the opposite side of the river, he is worried that once Ma Tou Bay is breached, Xingzi County will The main force was in danger of being surrounded and annihilated, so he did not dare to be careless, so he immediately sent a few more capable soldiers to report to the county, asking them to send the information no matter what, so that Captain Zuo Shang could be prepared.
Feng Xuehai and the others had already suffered casualties at this time. The gap in strength was really too big. Even though they were caught by the light of night and caught the little Japs unprepared, there were dozens of enemies after all. As long as If someone is accidentally targeted by one of them, the consequences will be disastrous. Fortunately, after about twenty minutes of fighting, gunshots finally rang out from Panyang Lake. Ye Zhao led the 36th Brigade and finally reached them. ,
