Chapter 54: The Destruction of the Wicker Sage Cannon Squad
Qianzhang Cliff is located at the intersection of Nanlu Town and Shuangtao Town. About eighteen miles west of Qianzhang Cliff is Nanlu Town, and about twenty miles south is Shuangtao Town. Shuangtao Town is not like Nanlu Town, which is a town directly under Yili City, but is the jurisdiction of Tangyuan County, the city in charge of Yili City.
From Qianzhang Cliff to Tangyuan County, it is about 30 miles away. The first half of the road is the same as the one heading to Shuangtao Town. When you arrive at a place called Mengliang Mountain, the county road is divided into two. From the left side of Mengliang Mountain, you go to Shuangtao Town, and from the right side of Mengliang Mountain, you go to Tangyuan County.
After the captain of Hehuang squadron reported to the headquarters at the top of Qianzhang Cliff, after Zuo Lianghui agreed, he hurriedly led the troops down the mountain. However, because Zuo Lianghui considered the empty defense of Nanlu Town, he ordered Hehuang squad to send a small team to Nanlu Town for the time being, and of course, he also had to bring back hundreds of bodies of Fuyuantian squadron.
However, taking hundreds of corpses back to Nanlu Town really stumped the Japanese in the first team of Hehuang Squadron. After all, there is no village or shop here, so it is not easy to find some carriages and carriages. However, the captain of Hehuang Squadron was too lazy to care about these things. After the order was issued, he took other soldiers of the squadron and dragged the bodies and wounded soldiers of the Hehuang Squadron and set off directly.
Liutiaoxian's squadron had already dismantled two infantry artillery pieces and packed their bags. Seeing that the Hehuang squadron set off, Liutiaoxian's artillery team had to follow him quickly. Although the captain of Hehuang squadron did not even pretend to invite him, Liutiaoxian also chose to follow him quietly with shameless face. After all, this place where bandits in the wilderness were almost dark, and it was indeed not enough to walk alone with his own artillery team.
Along the way, not only did the old devil in Hehuang not say a word to Liu Tiaoxian, but even the others in Hehuang Squadron had almost never talked to the people of the artillery squadron. After all, due to the blocking battle on the top of the mountain, more than 30 casualties in the Hehuang Squadron, more than ten of whom had already died.
Almost half of the team was crippled, which made the captain of Hehuang squad feel extremely uncomfortable, especially because the task was not perfectly completed. In the telegram, Colonel Sara Ryohui made even more blunt criticism, which made the old devil Hehuang count all his resentment on Liu Tiaoxian's head. If Liu Tiaoxian had been on the mountain with him at the beginning and the cannon was bombarded, how could his soldiers have such a great sacrifice? How could the Chinese bandits escape?
In this way, the Hehuang Squadron's headquarters and the Liutiaoxian Artillery Team walked speechlessly to Mengliang Mountain. Logically speaking, the Hehuang Squadron should have sent a team to escort the artillery team. Not to mention escorting them all the way to Tangyuan County, at least they would have to escort them through the Mengliang Mountain boundary. However, because of the unhappiness before, and now the Hehuang Squadron has assigned a team to Nanlu Town, there is another team of damage to the war, which makes the Hehuang Squadron's captain not intending to send someone to escort them.
After making up his mind, the old Japanese devil Hehuang rode his horse to Liu Tiaoxian and said hypocritically: "Hisser Liu Tiaoxian, it's going to be dark now. Why don't your artillery team go to our Shuangtao Town station tonight for a rest, and how about returning to the county town tomorrow?"
How could Liu Tiaoxian not hear Hehuang’s hypocrisy? So he replied: “Yoxi, I want to visit and learn from your garrison, but the captain has an order. After assisting in the battle today, he must return to the garrison. It is really hard to violate the military order.”
"Yoxi, Your Excellency Liu Tiaoxian is indeed a model of the Imperial Army of the Great Ri. The military orders cannot be violated. However, you also saw that our troops had suffered heavy losses just now, and then they divided up a small team to guard Nanlu Town. So, I am afraid there is not enough troops to escort you to Tangyuan County. What should I do?" Hehuang said in a dilemma.
When Liu Tiaoxian heard this, he thought to himself that the old devil had made a pit for him to jump, but it didn't matter to Liu Tiaoxian. When he arrived at Mengliangshan, he entered the territory of Tangyuan County. He was still familiar with the situation here. Although there were some bandits in the Mengliangshan area, most of them were small bandits, and they usually did not dare to openly fight against the imperial army. Moreover, his artillery team had more than fifty people. Although the ground battle was worse than the elite infantry of the Dari Royal Army, could it be that they could not deal with a few Chinese bandits?
Since Hehuang clearly wanted to force his army, Liu Tiaoxian was not to be outdone and said, "The bandits on Qianzhang Cliff have some skills. They first wiped out Fuyuantian Squadron, and then were severely damaged by our artillery, but they still caused a lot of losses to your infantry. However, although our artillery squadron is an artillery, we are not afraid of the Chinese bandits. Captain of Hehuang Squadron, Liu Tiaoxian is grateful for your kindness, let's leave."
After Liu Tiaoxian spoke, he did not give Hehuang any face. He was so angry that the old Hehuang ghost stared at him. Unfortunately, Liu Tiaoxian did not give Hehuang a chance to refute. After saying that, he directly whipped the horse's butt, and then led the soldiers of the artillery team to drive directly and rushed to the county road to the right of Mengliang Mountain.
"Baga."
...
The Liutiaoxian cannon team had more than fifty people. Because they were eager to go to rescue today, they were basically riding with one horse, and there were three or four batches of mules and horses dragging the decomposed infantry cannons. Therefore, the speed of movement was relatively very fast. After a few minutes, it ran out of several miles of mountain road. Seeing that they were about to walk out of the Mengliang Mountain boundary, Liutiaoxian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because as soon as you leave the Mengliang Mountain boundary, there are basically no bandits, and it is flat and the speed can be increased. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to safely arrive at the station before it is completely dark.
Da da da da da!
Just when Liu Tiaoxian thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, the gunshots rang without warning. The Japanese who were approaching the mountain road on the left instantly fell from the horse's back. Liu Tiaoxian immediately went to the side of his body, hid to the right side of the horse, and then shouted: "Riding a horse on the right side, rushing over quickly."
Although Liu Tiaoxian also wanted to organize a team to stop and kill the abominable attacker, it was too late after all, and the attacker was located on the hillside on the left. If you want to fight back, it is probably difficult for the enemy to find it. The key is to listen to the gunshots. The number of people on the other side seems to be less than that on his side, and the gunshots are mixed with the sound of at least two crooked light machine guns, which made Liu Tiaoxian quickly make the decision to rush out of the ambush circle.
Bang bang bang bang!
Da da da da da!
To say that the quality of the Japanese was indeed not bad, especially the early Guan* East Army. Even the artillery of the Guan* East Army, take the Liutiaoxian artillery team in front of you for example. With this riding technique, many Chinese cavalry would feel ashamed. With Liutiaoxian's order, the remaining thirty or forty cavalry made a very consistent side-mounted horse riding action, and the horse speed did not decrease at all.
Liu Tiaoxian, who rushed out one or two hundred meters away in one breath, finally felt the gunshots weaken, and then he sat on the horse back again. When he was about to ride his horse, he sadly found that there were two big trees in the middle of the road more than ten meters away, and there were still many creaking trees piled up there.
Wait!
"Baga, slow down quickly and hold your own war horse." Liu Tiaoxian shouted.
But the horse speed was raised, and it was not so easy to reduce. Thirty or forty riders instantly squeezed into a ball, some directly threw themselves to both sides, and some flew out from the horse's back, but that was nothing, because at this time, a huge explosion sounded around Liutiaoxian. After a dazzling light flashed, a devastating heat wave swept through.
Boom!
After the loud noise, the Japanese on the road were basically unable to stand up. At this time, as the planner and executor of this plan, Wang Yue led the soldiers of the third company to rush over to the scene, constantly replenishing guns for the half-dead Japanese, and thought to himself that he was doing good deeds.
"Haha, please feel free, battalion commander, why is your brain so easy to use? These Japanese devils are like the supporting role you hired, and they will not be distorted in cooperation with your plan." Zhou Xiong laughed.
Wang Yue also laughed. These Japanese devils were indeed very cooperative. If these Japanese devils were attacked and returned directly, Wang Yue had no moves. Even if they did not return, they stopped to fight against Wang Yue's troops. I'm afraid Wang Yue would not have much advantage. And after a long time, Wang Yue had to choose to evacuate. After all, this place is not too far from where the Hehuang Squadron broke up. As the sound of gunfires, it is difficult to prevent the Hehuang Squadron from coming to rescue.
However, Liu Tiaoxian really chose to rush over, which made Wang Yue's plan work completely. It was not easy for the galloping war horses to slow down. Even if they all slowed down successfully, they were all gathered together. Wang Yue threw a micro bomb over, and these Japanese soldiers basically had no living experience.
"I finally avenge my brothers. Grandma, brothers quickly clean up the battlefield. The most important thing is to collect all the Japanese infantry artillery and collect uninjured war horses. They will evacuate them in ten minutes." Wang Yue immediately ordered.
The Hehuang Squadron and Liu Tiao Xiancai were separated for less than ten minutes, and the Hehuang Squadron had probably not gone far. The loud explosion just now was heard by the old Hehuang Japanese, so they should be able to return to reinforcements quickly. What Wang Yue's troops have to do now is to leave before they arrive.
In fact, Wang Yue didn't know that the Hehuang Squadron had already assigned a small team to Nanlu Town. If he knew, he would probably choose to fight with the Hehuang Squadron with Wang Yue's personality. After all, at night, his miniature bombs remained powerful, but his safety would be much improved. If used at night, it would undoubtedly be a better choice.
However, I don’t know if it was Wang Yue’s luck, and the old Hehuang devils were lucky. Wang Yue rode a horse back along the way to the artillery squad, but he didn’t meet the people from the Hehuang squadron coming to reinforce.
What Wang Yue didn't know was that the old Japanese devils of Hehuang also rode away with their squadrons. When the guns and cannons started, the two sides had already gathered far away, and they were separated by Mengliang Mountain. Therefore, they didn't hear it at all. The Japanese who heard it were only part of the Japanese who transported the wounded and the corpses left on the road. Although they heard the explosion, they had limited manpower after all, and they had to take care of the wounded and the corpses. They had no strength to meddle in other people's business, so they could only leave it alone.
