Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

After receiving the telegram from the reconnaissance troops, the commander of the Second Infantry Division, who had been waiting in the ambush area for many days, also breathed a sigh of relief: "The little devils camped to rest earlier, I thought they were not in a hurry to hurry!"

'Presumably not!According to the commander's order, the cavalry unit of the Second Cavalry Division was often harassed by those little devils today.It is estimated that the meeting of the little devils also knows that there are many dreams in the night! '

'yes!Earlier, the Jidong Army Division also sent a telegram, and the little devils in North China also began to move in the direction of Luanping.If they want to meet up as soon as possible, these little devils must also hurry up.

After all, little devils shouldn't be stupid, they should know that we won't let them retreat easily.If these little devils rest one more night, they may be overtaken by our cavalry troops, and marching at night is also normal! '

The main heads of the second division who were staying at the temporary headquarters also began to discuss.For them, waiting for the little devil in the ambush area every day, although there is no danger, it also makes them a little impatient.

In fact, in the temporary camp, the little devils also had disputes over whether to march overnight.It's just that facing the cavalry troops of the Eighth Route Army, even if he knew that it would be too tiring to continue on the road, the little devil could only choose to hurry up.

Just like the marching sequence last night, when the large troops began to march, the Japanese scouts also dispersed.The role of these scouts is to explore the road in advance to ensure the safety of the follow-up main force.

When this tens of thousands of Japanese troops began to march towards Beiping.Every two hours, this force will send a telegram to the Kwantung Army Command to inform them whether they are safe at the moment.

Such a regulation was made to prevent the troops retreating from Chengde from knowing that once they were annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.It can be said that the more he fought with He Zhengdao, the more temporary rules the Kwantung Army formulated.

Wait until the little devil's cavalry scouts arrive at a three-way fork in the main road.Looking at the still silent mountain ridges and roads in the distance, the Japanese scouts who arrived here also seemed very nervous and cautious.

The leader of the cavalry regiment, looking at the map illuminated by the flashlight, said worriedly: "The terrain here is very complicated. In order to ensure the safe passage of the follow-up main force, we must be extra careful when reconnaissance."

'Yes, Captain! '

Send out three cavalry squadrons and start to enter the three forked roads. These cavalry also consciously ride slowly.Use the flashlight in your hand to shine on the mountain ridge from time to time, hoping to see if there are ambushes on the mountain ridge.

While the regimental captain was waiting for the news, there was a sudden gunshot in front of him, and the captain of the cavalry regiment tightened his expression and said, "Baga, there is indeed an ambush from the Eighth Route Army here. The first brigade, rush to the reinforcements immediately, and find out the situation!"

'Hi! '

Under his order, a Japanese cavalry brigade quickly rushed to the place where the gunshots sounded.What the captain of the cavalry regiment didn't expect was that it didn't take long for gunshots of fighting to be heard from the other two directions.

'Nah!Has the Eighth Route Army ambushed so many blocking troops at this intersection? '

Hearing the exclamation of the joint captain, a Japanese lieutenant beside him said: "Colonel commander, judging from the frequency and intensity of gunfire, it should not be the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Come to think of it, it is the Eighth Route guerrillas again! "

Under the reminder of the lieutenant sergeant, the captain also listened carefully for a while, and found that the gunfire was indeed not too dense.In addition, it seems that only the nearest road on the left passing through Peiping can hear the sound of machine gun fire.

Thinking of this, the captain of the cavalry regiment said again: "The rest of the troops are divided into two groups and rushed to reinforcements immediately. Be sure to open up this marching route in the shortest possible time to ensure the safe passage of the main force!"

'Hi!It's just the captain, which way shall we go next? '

'The one that breaks first, we'll go that way.In addition, send someone to inform the general of this news! '

In fact, all three roads can reach Beiping.It's just that in comparison, the road on the left is the closest.But judging from the frequency of gunshots, the road on the left seems to be the road that the Eighth Route Army is focusing on defending.

Understand that they don't have much time to fight the Eighth Route Army, the longer the delay, the higher the risk for them.In this case, as long as a marching route can be opened up, that route will be safe.

The main force walking in the rear is naturally not as well equipped as the cavalry regiment.Compared with the cavalry equipped with a flashlight, most of the follow-up troops marched with torches.

And some cars that can also provide lighting also pull the supplies that the troops urgently need.On both sides of the car, there were a large number of Japanese soldiers who were panting but still did not dare to stop, and the little devil walked in front and behind the team.

When the garrison officer of the Japanese army learned that Sandaocha had the Eighth Route Army's blocking force, he also said with a tense heart, "Have you found out the size of the Eighth Route Army's blocking force?"

'Report to the general, the previous regiment leader has confirmed that it should be the guerrilla forces of the Eighth Route that block us.However, the road on the left has a lot of eight roads, and it is also equipped with a certain number of machine guns.

On the other two highways, no machine guns from the Eighth Route were heard.However, according to cavalry reconnaissance, they set up many obstacles on the road.At present, the cavalry regiment is doing its best to wipe out those Tuba roads that blocked them. '

'Yo breath!Let me tell you, the regiment commander, that the marching path of the troops must be cleared as quickly as possible. '

'Yes, General! '

With the words of the garrison officer, the cavalry hurried back to the front to deliver instructions.But at this time, looking at the road on the left, a narrow intersection, was blown down by the Eighth Route Army, and the captain of the cavalry regiment also seemed very depressed.

If you want to clean up the earth and rocks blocking the road, I am afraid that one night is not enough.Thinking of this, the captain of the cavalry regiment immediately said: "Order the cavalry brigade to continue fighting. I will go to the other two roads to see the situation."

After some comparison, the captain of the cavalry regiment discovered that the Eighth Route Army had also set up obstacles on the other two roads.But in comparison, the road in the middle seems to be easier and more relaxed, with only some rocks and logs piled up on the road.

As for the road on the far right, although no rocks collapsed, it took a longer detour to take this road.Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the captain of the cavalry regiment decided to attack the middle.

After the cavalry sent to the road on the right was transferred back, the cavalry regiment was also changed to infantry, and launched a fierce offensive against the Eighth Route Army guarding the middle road, while the other two roads were responsible for holding back the Eighth Route Army .

Wait until the cavalry regiment pays the price of nearly 300 people.After seeing many Eight Routes with corpses on their backs, and finally chose to give up the position, the captain of the cavalry regiment also heaved a sigh of relief.

Looking at the captured blocking position, it was also covered with a lot of bright red blood.And the construction of these positions seems to be very simple.But even so, they paid a high price for taking this position.

It's just that right now, there is no time for him to feel sorry for the loss of the cavalry regiment, so he immediately said: "Send a squadron to continue to explore the road to find out the situation, and the rest of the troops will dismount and clean up the road as soon as possible.

After the main force passed safely, the remaining two troops could retreat.In order to avoid unnecessary losses, tell the cavalry commanders in charge of the other two lines of attack that they only need to hold down the eight lines on the position, and there is no need to attack by force! "

Worrying about too many casualties will seriously damage the vitality of the cavalry regiment.The joint captain finally made such a decision.In the past, the cavalry regiment would not easily let go of the Eighth Route Army who dared to stop them.

Knowing that the road between the three forks has been opened and the other two roads are still fighting, the Japanese garrison also said helplessly: "Baga, in this way, we will have to walk nearly [-] kilometers more!"

'General!I'm afraid we have no choice right now. Although the road on the left is the closest, Balu knows that it is a shortcut when we think about it. Therefore, we don't hesitate to blow up the road and block it, the purpose is to delay our time.

Fortunately, only the Eighth Route guerrillas stopped us, and their combat capabilities were limited.I think it is also very good to be able to open up a road and let us continue to move forward.It's just that the marching speed of the troops should be accelerated.

If tonight, we can guarantee the same marching speed as last night, maybe around tomorrow afternoon, we will be able to join the reinforcements from North China.As long as we join them, we'll be truly safe. '

The accompanying staff officer also comforted him in a timely manner.In the current situation, they should be thankful that it was not the main force of the Eighth Route Army that blocked them at Sandaocha.Otherwise, they will definitely be stuck here.

It's difficult but they don't know that the three main companies of the Second Infantry Division are also responsible for the blocking of the three forks.However, the main company in charge of blocking from the left was allowed to use machine guns to block.

The other two companies responsible for blocking are not allowed to use machine guns, only rifles are allowed to block.And the path in the middle is actually the path of no return chosen by the Second Infantry Division for the little devil! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The main force of the Japanese infantry who arrived at Sandaojun heard the gunshots still ringing from the left and right sides, and somehow knew that their troops were fighting with the blocking forces of the Eighth Route Army on these two roads, and only the road in the middle was opened.

Regarding such a situation, the Chengde garrison officer in charge was actually a little worried.But after listening to the cavalry captain's report, he also felt that maybe he was too worried.In fact, they seem to have no choice.

Looking at the cavalry who were cleaning the battlefield and clearing the gravel and crossbars on the road, the Japanese infantry who arrived first also joined the road cleaning operation.Seeing this scene, the defense officer who rushed over was a little relieved.

Judging from the scene in front of us, the Eighth Route Army also set up a block here.However, the captain of the cavalry regiment who served as the vanguard finally chose this road to march.The reason is that it is more suitable for large troops to pass through.

Of the other two highways, there is no way to pass one in a short time.Even if the infantry can pass, their vehicles will never pass.As for the road on the right, even if they were given a choice, they might not take it.

The reason is simple, taking the road on the right to detour is too long, and it will also delay their precious evacuation time.In this case, it is also a wise decision for the captain of the cavalry regiment to storm the middle at any cost.

It took nearly two hours to clean up. Looking at the cleared road, the garrison officer also breathed a sigh of relief: "Order the troops to run forward, pass this dangerous area as soon as possible, and win back the wasted time."

'Yes, General! '

When the infantry assisted in clearing the roadblocks, the exhausted expatriates with the army also got a rare two-hour rest time.It's just that when I hear that I'm going to trot forward, I feel a little sad.

But the problem is, the troops in charge of protecting them are trotting forward, they can't walk, right?The gunshots from the left and right told them directly that this was not a safe place, and the sooner they left, the safer they would be.

Under the threat of death, even though these expatriates were exhausted, they still gritted their teeth and kept up with the marching pace of the troops.The cavalry who scouted the situation in advance also informed that there was no information about the Eighth Route Army's ambush ahead.
