Chapter 456

Autumn harvest and winter storage 14

At present, the two armies can tie the game, and most of this credit should be recorded in the two artillery runners. It is the firepower of these two artillery artillery that blocks the enemy's attack. In order to block the enemy's attack, the artillery has been firing rapidly. When the mortar shells brought are exhausted, whether the first battalion can block the enemy's counterattack will become a problem.[]

The first battalion commander, who had figured out, summoned all the messengers. On the battlefield where bullets were flying, the first battalion commander issued several orders: First, the troops currently standing in Zhongguo Village will organize immediately and be prepared to retreat in the shortest possible time; Second, all troops must implement battlefield discipline, and when retreating, they must follow the battalion headquarters' slogans as orders, and no one is allowed to retreat without authorization; Third, the reinforcements resolutely withstand the enemy's attack, and must maintain the torn opening, and do whatever it takes

The retreat passage is at the cost; 4. The artillery platoon leader must count the shells himself and reserve a certain amount of ammunition for stopping and shooting during formal retreat; 5. Immediately notify the left-behind personnel in the village of Guo to make all preparations. All personnel must be lightly equipped and the items that are inconvenient to take away must be destroyed immediately. When a decision is made to retreat in full, the action must be fast and the Japanese and puppets must not be entangled. Six. In view of the severe enemy situation, the battalion headquarters immediately sent two commanders to report the message, requiring the regiment to send troops to reinforce immediately.

The messenger immediately passed these orders to the troops after accepting the mission, because it was already at the critical moment of life and death, and the troops receiving the orders could also carry out these orders without fail.

The team stationed in Zhongguo Village fortifications immediately made adjustments. Some troops were shrinking, while some troops were covering increased their firepower; the reinforcements that tore open the encirclement also strengthened their firepower. The Japanese soldiers who were attacking with all their might received a blow and were pressed on the way to attack; the shooting speed of the mortars decreased, and the shooting accuracy was improved. It seemed that the artillery was already preparing for retreat.

The officers and soldiers of the first battalion quickly adjusted their tactics, which made the Japanese attackers extremely puzzled. In their experience in invading China, the tactics of the ** troops were both conservative and rigid. Under normal circumstances, the ** troops adjusted their tactics either because they were forced to helpless or had other intentions. Now the two armies are equal, and the first battalion adjusted its tactics and changed its tactics, which obviously had other plans.

Their intention was: was they prepared to retreat? Or was there another reinforcement? The Japanese commander was not sure for a while. In order to understand the opponent's true intentions, the Japanese commander ordered the attack to be suspended and the pressure on the opposite side of the first battalion was immediately reduced.

The hesitation of the Japanese and puppet troops gave the first battalion extremely precious. The troops in Zhongguo Village quickly assembled, and the encirclement was firmly controlled by reinforcements. Seeing that the time had come, the battalion commander immediately ordered the soldiers to blow the trumpet. The defenders in Zhongguo Village rushed out, and the reinforcements blocked the enemy's pursuers in time. The troops in the village basically emerged.

As the direct troops carefully built by Sun Dianying, the military quality of the first battalion was relatively strong. After the breakout troops rushed out of the village, they did not leave. They worked with the reinforcements to defend and block, and the first battalion in the same place to alternately cover, and finally broke out of the encirclement.

The Japanese then understood the true intention of the first battalion. They began to strengthen their attack and wanted to bite the first battalion tightly. But the mortars of the first battalion played a great role in blocking artillery fire. Under the cover of artillery fire, these people gradually distanced themselves from the pursuit of the Japanese army and quickly retreated to Shangguo Village.

But what the commander of the first battalion did not expect was that the Japanese and puppet troops were like maggots on their bones and could not even drive them away. They followed the retreating troops to Shangguo Village.

Fortunately, the first battalion of the newly formed first regiment of the New Fifth Army was ready to continue to retreat. In Shangguo Village, the first battalion slightly reorganized the troops, and then left a small group of troops to block the attack, and the other personnel immediately retreated quickly.

The commander of the First Regiment had received a report from the First Battalion, and the commander did not dare to leave the officers and soldiers of the battalion. They sent reinforcements to pick them up. When the first battalion retreated five or six miles, the reinforcements finally arrived.

The Japanese army had only one squadron, plus a large group of puppet troops. Now Sun Dianying's troops have exceeded that of the Japanese and puppet troops. In addition, the Japanese and puppet troops are not familiar with the terrain here, so they stopped after chasing for a while.

After the newly formed first regiment broke away from contact with the Japanese and puppet troops, they did not stop. They only left a small number of guards to monitor the Japanese and puppet troops, and most of their main forces continued to retreat. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking again, they gave up this mountainous area and retreated to the other side of the mountain.

After the Japanese and puppet troops who succeeded in the attack gathered their troops, they left a small part of their troops stationed in Sanguo Village. Most of their troops immediately turned and continued to search and advance in the northward direction.

At the same time, Sun Dianying's other units were also attacked one after another, and the Ninth Detachment stationed in Qinghe area was safe and sound.

Before the war, Sun Dianying and the others also learned that the enemy was about to engage in a battle. According to previous experience, they estimated that the focus of the Japanese and puppet army's attack would be the Eighth Route Army on the Hujiawozhuang, or the Ninth Detachment of Qinghe, because these two of the three forces in northern Henan are relatively weak, and the Japanese army will generally fight the weak first and will not cause trouble for their New Fifth Army.

But after the battle began, the Japanese army turned out to be abnormal. The attacking troops of the Japanese and puppet troops first attacked the New Fifth Army, which shocked Sun Dianying's New Fifth Army.

Various war reports continued to spread to the General Staff of the New Fifth Army, and were constantly marked on the map. Judging from the map, the Japanese army launched multiple attacks this time, and the destinations of the attacks of each unit were faintly pointing to the same target, that is, the location of the New Fifth Army's headquarters.

The staff of the New Fifth Army thought that they had seen the intention of the Japanese army, so they hurriedly reported the judgment to Sun Dianying. After Sun Dianying learned of this judgment, he did not dare to be careless. He immediately ordered the radio to ask for help from the First War Zone. Sun Dianying claimed in the telegram that the New Fifth Army was attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops, and the entire New Fifth Army had fallen into the enemy's key attack. In order to ensure the situation of fighting against the enemy in northern Henan, Sun Dianying asked the First War Zone to immediately send troops to support the New Fifth Army.

Li Qinglin and Liu Zhenghong received news shortly after the Japanese and puppet army attack was launched. At this time, they were also in the command center, facing the study of the battlefield situation in front of the map.

The Japanese army first launched an attack on the New Five Army, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. The New Five Army is the strongest unit in northern Henan. Did the Japanese army launch an attack for an abnormal situation?

In the headquarters, Li Qinglin carefully studied the map and all the information obtained. From the map, the Japanese army attacked from multiple points with obvious targets, which was in line with their so-called tactics of division of troops and joint attacks. However, these Japanese and puppet troops did not seem to be particularly determined in combat. They often repel the troops of the New Five Army and stopped advancing, which was not in line with the traditional tactics of the Japanese army focusing on eliminating living forces.

Did the Japanese have other plans?

Li Qinglin carefully studied the composition of the Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese and puppet troops who suddenly attacked the New Five Army this time had some characteristics. The biggest feature was that the main force of combat was not actually the Japanese army, but the puppet troops accounted for the majority. According to the intelligence analysis in this regard, the proportion of the Japanese and puppet troops was one to three. Such a force composition was not like the troops that the Japanese army was preparing to launch the strongest attack. In addition, there was another point that these attacking troops were not transferred from other places, but the garrison troops stationed in the local area.

The telegrams from Sun Dianying's superiors for emergency help did indeed work. The telegrams from the General Staff of the First War Zone requested the Ninth Detachment to urgently reinforce the New Fifth Army were sent one after another.

Li Qinglin was not anxious about this emergency reinforcement order in the First World War Zone. He convened a meeting of officers above the squadron leader of the Ninth Detachment to discuss the issue of whether to reinforce.

The captain and squadron leader quickly gathered in Qinghe, and the military meeting of the Ninth Detachment was held soon. Just like before each military meeting began, the old smokers were chatting while spitting out clouds and mist, and the conference room was in a mess.

The meeting began, and Li Qinglin didn't say much. He took out a message from the First War Zone to read it to everyone at the beginning.

As soon as Li Qinglin finished reading the telegram, Liu Changda immediately stood up. He waved his hand to drive away the smoke in front of him, and then said, "Didn't Sun Dianying, the old slut, his New Fifth Army claimed to have tens of thousands of people? How many Japanese soldiers were attacked this time? The information we got was that there were only more than one thousand Japanese soldiers and more than four thousand puppet troops. There were only a few enemies in total. If he had tens of thousands of people in the New Fifth Army, he couldn't stand it anymore? He was going to reinforce?"

Zhang Ergou also shouted, "That's right, his Sun ** son occupied a good place and also trafficked big smoke. He has been strong in recent years, right?" He couldn't stand this Japanese? We only had a few people. His troops ran away after firing a few shots. Now they want us to reinforce, which is clearly asking us to block the gun for him."

Liang Xixian coughed because of smoke. After the cough calmed down, he slowly said that Sun Dianying had always wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. There were only a few enemies in front of their New Fifth Army. He didn't want to fight a good battle, but he was counting on us in his heart."

Li Gousheng jumped up and scolded Sun **son. He was more active than anyone else in running away, less courageous than anyone in fighting, and more cruel than anyone in getting ammunition. He just wanted to be a thief and eat meat, and never thought that he would be beaten as a thief. In my opinion, if we don’t go, we will definitely not go."

Li Qinglin looked around for a week and saw that the officers all looked unfair. Obviously, no one was willing to reinforce the New Fifth Army.

Li Qinglin thought for a while, and he said, "No matter what, the New Fifth Army is our friendly army, and the orders from the war zone are also urgent. No matter how Sun Dianying is, I think we still need to help him this time."

Xiao Liuzi said strangely, Boss, are you so kind to the Bodhisattva today? Do you really want to use our little guns to fight a battle for Sun**son?"
