Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 78 End the fight ASAP!

For many troops entering Guizhou to fight, the terrain of mountains and forests in Western Qian can be seen everywhere.It is precisely because of this geographical environment with many mountains and few lands that many people living here suffer unspeakably.

In addition, most of the people living here are ethnic minorities who are used to gathering in ethnic groups and tribes.Even in the past dynasties, the management and rule of Qianxi seemed to be unsatisfactory, which also caused the development of commerce and trade here.

Compared with other bustling places like Guiyang and Daguxinchang, the transportation is also very convenient.But after entering Qianxi, although there are official ways.But among these official roads, many of the roads that have been opened up are built along the mountains.

With such terrain, for the commanders who lead the battle, they will undoubtedly be particularly careful when marching.After all, such terrain is very suitable for ambushes.Even the chasing 99th division also seemed very cautious.

In one breath, the 99th Division, which sent three outpost reconnaissance teams, hoped that these three reconnaissance teams would be organized in units of platoons, companies, and battalions.For the main force of the follow-up division, discover possible ambushes on the way ahead in advance.

If the opponent sees a platoon of scouts, they may think about letting them go.So, what about seeing a company and a battalion?Maybe let the opponent open fire in advance to ensure the safety of the follow-up main force and avoid being surrounded by the enemy.

When it was close to the evening, I watched the reconnaissance team of the 99th Division appear in the ambush circle.He Zhengdao and the officers and soldiers in the ambush knew that this reconnaissance platoon should be the reconnaissance unit of the 99th Division, so they just let them go.

But as a reconnaissance company appeared later, He Zhengdao couldn't help being a little surprised and said: "It seems that the commander of the 99th Division is still a cautious guy. Order the troops to continue dormant, don't disturb this reconnaissance company, let them go!"

Knowing how many miles the valley stretches, it can fully accommodate the next division-level troops passing by.He Zhengdao wasn't worried either, he let this one pass and affected the next ambush.

But then, seeing the appearance of the 99th Division's reconnaissance battalion, He Zhengdao thought that the main force had finally appeared.Just observing through the telescope, I found that the army that entered the ambush circle soon disappeared.

Wang Tianlin, who also saw this scene, said worriedly: "Master, did the enemy smell something?"

In response to Wang Tianlin's question, He Zhengdao also frowned and shook his head and said, "I don't think so! Order a regiment and don't attack. If the battle starts later, ask them to send a battalion to prevent the enemy battalion from returning to help."

'OK! '

After quickly conveying this order, when the first reconnaissance platoon successfully walked out of the ambush circle of the independent regiment, He Zhengdao finally started. At the entrance of the ambush circle, the central army troops advancing on foot appeared again.

I saw that among the troops coming in one after another, there were still many troops carrying mortars.He Zhengdao finally showed a smile and said: "Chief of Staff, it seems that our waiting all day and night is finally not in vain! Order all regiments and battalions to prepare for battle."

Even the mortar troops have seen it, which is enough to show that this is the main force of the 99th Division.He Zhengdao, who had been staring at the march of this unit, saw a long marching team pulling up on the mountain road, and knew that this was the main force of the 99th Division who had been waiting for a long time.

Along with the logistics troops of the 99th Division, they also stepped into the ambush circle.He Zhengdao breathed a sigh of relief: "Chief of Staff, let's start!"

There was a "bang" gunshot, and a signal bomb flew into the air.The first time he saw this signal flare, Zhu Yifei also shouted: "All gun positions are available, fire!"

Accompanied by the sound of the signal flare, the roar of shells followed.The commander of the 99th Division, who had always felt a little uneasy, finally said with a terrified expression: "Enemy attack! Spread out, avoid the artillery!"

Sounds of panic like this are still shouted from the mouths of many grassroots officers of the Central Army.But the intense gunfire that followed made the officers and soldiers of the 99th Division know that what they were most worried about had happened.

The commander of the 99th Division, who was protected by the division guard battalion in the middle, looked at the officers and soldiers who were knocked to the ground and bombed to death, and said angrily: "Are those people in the intelligence department from the ****? This is definitely an independent The main force of the division!"

According to the information received earlier, the independent division of the Red Army should be at least one day away from them.But the question is, if the main force of the Red Army is in front of them, who ambushed them?

Everyone knows with their heels that the information provided by their intelligence department is completely irresponsible information.And such intelligence is often very deadly.This time, his 99 Division is really in danger.

After looking around, the division commander said decisively: "The guard battalion, grab the small highland in the valley, and order the rest of the regiments to quickly establish a defensive position centered on the small highland.

In addition, generate electricity for the 86th Division and let them rush to support as quickly as possible.If it is too late, Lao Tzu's 99th Division will be completely wiped out.At that time, they don't even want to have good fruit to eat. "

Aware of the current situation, Xu Guang, the commander of the 99th Division, who could only adopt the strategy of standing still and waiting for help, made the most sensible choice.And its most elite guard battalion quickly seized the small high ground.

He Zhengdao, who had been observing the situation on the battlefield, saw that the small highland in the valley was seized.Immediately said: "Chief of Staff, order the Second Regiment to attack and divide the 99th Division. They cannot be brought together in one place."

'Yes, sir! '

Wang Tianlin also knew that this battle could not be delayed, and immediately passed the order to the Second Infantry Regiment.After receiving the order, the second regiment quickly dispatched the main force of the regiment and began to carry out assaults, dividing the central army that was about to return to the division headquarters.

When the 99th Division was cut in half in this valley, He Zhengdao continued: "Order the third and fourth regiments to besiege the enemy's rear guard and logistics troops as quickly as possible, and the first and second regiments to attack from both sides.

At the same time, order the artillery battalion to focus on attacking the enemy on the small high ground.If there are many enemies there, hit the shells there.Li Xiangdong ordered the rest of the reconnaissance company to gather and go out with me. "

'No, sir!How can you go to the battlefield yourself? '

'nonsense!I am the division commander, and I have the final say on the combat command.Don't waste time, pass on the order quickly.One more second of delay, and we will sacrifice one more comrade.This battle must end as soon as possible. '

Watching the Central Army who seized the small high ground and began to establish a relatively solid defense line, He Zhengdao also saw many assaulting Red Army being knocked down to the ground.This made him feel that it was necessary to go down and direct the battle himself.

Most of the enemies from the small highlands used flower traps, and He Zhengdao probably guessed that they were the elite troops of the 99th Division.If this elite unit is not destroyed, the independent division will suffer heavy casualties.

Even if the 99th Division is wiped out in the end, He Zhengdao will feel that it is not worthwhile!

Faced with He Zhengdao's insistence, Wang Tianlin also seemed helpless.I can only tell Li Xiangdong: "Commander Li, if something goes wrong with the teacher, you don't have to come back!"

'Yes, Chief of Staff! '

Regarding He Zhengdao's aggressiveness, Li Xiangdong was actually very helpless.But he knew that as the leader of the first division, He Zhengdao, being able to fight on the front line in person would also help improve the morale and courage of the officers and soldiers.

When He Zhengdao led the reconnaissance company and arrived at the attack position of the second regiment, seeing He Zhengdao appearing, the regiment leader Xu Renyi was also startled and said: "Master, why are you here?"

'Okay, stop talking nonsense!Let the first battalion withdraw first, the opponent's firepower is very fierce, such a rush will only increase our casualties.By the way, where is the mortar company of your regiment?Quickly tune up and bombard me! '

'Teacher, I have called just now, and I should be here soon! '

At this moment, the artillery company commander of the second regiment also appeared in due course.Seeing He Zhengdao appearing here, the company commander was also taken aback.And He Zhengdao didn't say much, and personally instructed the mortar company to set up the artillery.

At the same time, he ordered: "Commander Xu, gather the machine gunners of your regiment, and cooperate with the reconnaissance company to carry out the attack later. When the artillery company starts shelling, you start to charge. Remember, don't stop on the road, you have to be aggressive. go up!"

'Yes, sir! '

Although Xu Renyi felt that this would cause his own personnel to be bombed by mistake.But he felt that He Zhengdao must have his reasons for doing so.In fact, this is just a tactic of infantry and artillery coordinated operations.

When the machine gunners assembled, He Zhengdao also ordered Li Xiangdong to cooperate with these machine gunners later.And He Zhengdao, who was staying in the artillery position himself, said at the right time: "Five rapid shots, let them go!"

Accompanied by the rapid loading of artillery shells by the artillerymen, the dense mortar shells made the Central Army on the small high ground unable to resist running away.At this time, the machine gunners of the second regiment, with the cooperation of the reconnaissance company, began to charge the high ground.

Some Central Army machine gunners planned to fight to the death when they arrived.The sharpshooters of the reconnaissance company began to show off their power and shot them to death on the position to ensure the safety of the assault troops.

After the five waves of artillery shells were fired, before the Central Army on the ground could react, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company rushed forward.They, who were also equipped with flower organs, successfully opened a breakthrough by using the intensive firepower of machine guns.

Seeing the division's reconnaissance company rushing up, the second regiment leader couldn't help but secretly said beautifully, and immediately sent out the main force of the first battalion who had been frustrated in the previous attack.This also means that this ambush is coming to an end!

Chapter 79 Don't Be Happy Too Soon!

Watching under the cover of mortars, the well-deserved sharp knife reconnaissance company of the Independent Division rushed to the small high ground occupied by the opponent in one fell swoop.He Zhengdao, who was watching the battle below, also breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that the battle was almost declared over.

Sure enough, many central armies who planned to move closer to the highland knew that they were doomed to fail when they saw that the Red Army had already occupied the small highland.Soon some officers and soldiers, surrounded by the Red Army, began to choose to surrender their guns.

After ordering the regiments of the Independent Division to clean up the battlefield, He Zhengdao, under the protection of Li Xiangdong, quickly walked onto the small high ground where the smoke had not cleared.Looking at the major general lying in a pool of blood, He Zhengdao felt that he should be the commander of the 99th Division.

"Xiangdong, wait for someone to restrain his body, don't bury it on the spot.If nothing else, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon.Let them take this corpse back for burial!

The remains of the rest of the officers and soldiers should be collected and placed in a cool place.In this way, it also saves us from spending time digging pits to bury the dead bodies.As for the officers and soldiers of our independent division who died in battle, we will take them on the road first, and wait until the next place to find a place to bury them. '

'Yes, sir! '

Li Xiangdong, who was standing beside He Zhengdao, seemed a little puzzled by such an arrangement.However, soldiers who can abide by the principle of "the dead are the greatest" are actually very respected by the soldiers.After all, no one can guarantee that he will die on the battlefield that day.
