Chapter 7 Expedition to Burma Section 4 Bloody Battle in the Jungle (3)
The Fagu Brigade is now full of Lu Ruishan's style, so I say that it is leisure. Lu Ruishan is competitive and can't stand those who are timid, so he rectified the officers as soon as he arrived at the ** Brigade. The timid officers were quickly driven away, and all those who left were about him, that is, they were all hot-tempered, competitive, and dared to fight against the Japanese, and they also dared to fight against the leader of friendly troops.
The backstage of Lu Ruishan was too hard. The original organization of the ** Brigade was 7,000 people. After he came, he began to expand his troops unscrupulously. The ** Brigade could have nearly twice the original organization. It was all because of his reasons. After the Wuhan Defense Battle, the ** Brigade was the fastest-recovered unit. The reason was that Lu Ruizhi sent people to the hospital to pull the well-behaved veterans into the ** Brigade; he shamelessly sent people to seduce friendly soldiers, and surrendered four bandits of bandits, and arbitrarily incorporated the Western Hubei Security Corps into the army. The most overwhelming thing was that he was publicly announced in the army that he would get a company to be the company commander and a regiment to be the regiment commander. He dared to do anything except for forcing the strong men.
He was accused of these bad deeds at the War Zone Command, but neither Jiang Dingwen nor Bai Chongxi nor Li Zongren were concerned, and he gave him a green light. Lu Ruishan reported that the dismissal and appointment were all approved. However, Lu Ruishan knew very well that all this was the reason why Zhuang Jihua stood behind him.
The sound of guns and cannons on the mountain was even more intense, and the Mark core heavy machine guns were filled with heavy thrusts. The cheerful clatter of the Czech light machine gun, the crisp sound of the Sanjiu semi-automatic rifle, the explosion of the grenade, and the explosion of the mortar shells were mixed together. They were blown by the mountain wind and sent to the city.
After the first attack was repelled, the Japanese army began to launch a continuous attack on the positions of the First and Second Regiments. "Craft artillery, 75 mountain cannons, 82 mortars, 92 infantry cannons, all kinds of shells fell on the position like raindrops. The mountains were trembling, and the trees were cut into two pieces by the shells. The shallow trenches that were rushing to be dug were blown off. The soldiers left on the position were dodging the falling shells everywhere, and the soldiers hiding in the reverse slope tried their best to shrink their bodies.
After half an hour of bombing, Japanese infantry in yellow uniforms began to attack the mountain. Chinese soldiers on the mountain also rushed from every corner into trenches that could no longer be called trenches, and fierce battles took place again in various hills.
When Su Xiaojun arrived at the Fifth Regiment's position, the vanguard of the Fourth Regiment had arrived, and the Fifth Regiment was stepping up to build a position. Su Xiaojun convened the Fifth Regiment's leader Han Xinfa and the Fourth Regiment's leader Fang Qiming for a meeting at the Fifth Regiment's headquarters, and gave Lu Ruishan's combat concept to them.
"Okay. The idea of the voyage is good. What's the point of waiting for the Japanese to attack here? Deputy, I think so. Our regiment's main attacker, and the fourth regiment followed us. Han Xinfa immediately agreed. At the same time, he grabbed the main attacker.
"Why! Why are you the main attacker!" Before Su Xiaojun could speak, Fang Qiming began to express his dissatisfaction. His eyes were fiercely glaring at Han Xinfa: "You defend the position, our regiment attack, deputy throne, don't worry, I guarantee that the Japanese will beat them so hard that they can't even recognize their mother.
Han Xinfa glared at his eyes, and pushed the steel helmet and stood up: "What are you thinking! Your group has not arrived yet, so we should be the main attacker. You can just cover it on the side.
Shi Qiming also stood up. The two of them stared at each other fiercely like a pair of cockfighting, as if they would pounce on each other at any time and tear them apart.
"Okay, don't fight anymore!" Xiao Su Xiaojun scolded, and then the two sat down angrily. Su Xiaojun grabbed the map in front of them, and then said to them: "The plan of the brigade commander is that you two regiments will not be divided into main attacks and cover, and will attack side by side. This is the attack route."
Su Xiaojun drew two lines on the map and looked at the two of them. Han Xinfa looked at it for a while and frowned: "Second post, we are going to attack, who will give the position here?"
"You each have one company, and the brigade commander has drawn a company from the direct battalion and handed it over to me. I will come to guard here and Su Xiaojun replied.
Fang Qiming asked again: "How do we cooperate with the two groups? How can we keep in touch?"
Although these two men were like two cockfighting just now, they had rich combat experience and the questions they asked were very critical. Needless to say, how the two regiments contacted and cooperated, this is crucial.
"This is my command center." Su Xiaojun said: "In addition, you all know the frequency of walkie-talkies. You must report any actions you take outside the plan to me, and you must remember this.
"I understand what the two of them are no longer fighting, they are both satisfied and unsatisfied.
Han Xinfa started attacking without waiting for the fourth regiment. He arranged the two battalions into a line and led the two battalions behind him. Each regiment of the ** Brigade was strengthened. If it weren't for the strengthening regiment, there would be four battalions in each regiment and four companies in each battalion.
The Fifth Regiment quietly went down the mountain, and the Second and Third Battalions quickly searched forward in the jungle, one left and one right. All the companies in front of them were in scattered formations. After passing through a stream, the vanguard team suddenly found thatched grass on the opposite hillside swaying branches.
"Invisible"
A low voice…test” Everything disappeared, Mumi stared at the thatched bushes opposite, and Daohang walked out of it. Shi Jun, the squad leader of the avant-garde squad, was from Zaoyang, Henan. He joined the army after the Zaoyang victory and participated in the Wuhan defense battle. He was considered a veteran.
"Wang Xiaomao, go back and report to the company commander immediately." Shi Jun whispered to a young soldier beside him. The soldier looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. Wang Xiaomao agreed to get up and run away. Shi Jun pressed him down and observed the situation carefully before letting go: "Be careful, don't move too much."
Wang Xiaomao got up and hid behind the tree. He looked at the Japanese opposite, then ran backwards. More than a dozen Japanese were coming out of the grass opposite, which seemed to be the Japanese search squad. The Japanese military commander stood in front of the team, holding a compass and looking for the direction. After a while, he seemed to find the right direction, waved his hand, and led the team toward Shi Jun and the others.
Shi Jun made a gesture to the deputy squad leader and asked the deputy squad leader to take four people to retreat to the left. He led people to retreat to the right. At this moment, the grass and trees on the hillside were shaking again. Obviously, a large group of people came over.
Shi Jun's face changed. At this time, the Japanese in front were only seventeen or eighteen meters away from them. He changed his decision. He led his men to retreat behind and retreated not far from the stream. They met the main force of the company. Shi Jun reported to the company commander Guan Hu, and found that the brigade of Japanese troops was unknown.
Guan Hu quickly reported to battalion commander Tang Jieming while making arrangements. He reported to the regiment commander Han Xinfa. Han Xinfa, who was on the way to march, immediately ordered the entire regiment to launch after receiving the report. He ordered Tang Jieming to retreat and not be allowed to fight, and then let the right-wing Hu Shi military camp diagonally penetrate the enemy's rear, so that Huang Jiankun camp behind Tang Jieming quickly detour to the right wing and lead himself.
Han Xinfa quickly arranged a trap. Xiaoping was strictly scratched and trained. At this time, the troops unfolded silently and quickly, running towards their respective directions according to the orders.
The Japanese army carefully searched and advanced in the jungle. More than a dozen people walked into the ambush circle with guns and fiddled with branches. Soon, the Japanese army came over again. Han Xin sent a watch. It was less than ten minutes before the order was continued. The troops were probably not moving in place. There was about a squadron in front of them, and there were obviously a large number of Japanese troops behind them. "Captain, can you fight?" The chief of staff next to him spoke a little hesitant, obviously he thought of this problem.
Han Xinfa spitted the branches in his mouth and ordered: "Open fire!"
With this command, the originally quiet jungle was turned into a place of death. The Japanese avant-garde squad who was walking in the front was wiped out in an instant. Dozens of light and heavy machine guns were densely spread in the jungle hundreds of meters long, spewing out flames. The Japanese army, caught off guard, fell down a lot, and the rest hurriedly looked for cover. Hiding at the roots of trees and behind the rocks.
"Damn, I want to take advantage of my future. God finally opened my eyes and let me discover that Han Xinfa is very excited. Indeed, there is a great component of luck here.
As soon as Han Xinfa received the report, he understood that the purpose of the Japanese was the same as theirs, and they were detouring the front. However, this time God occupied their side. Shi Jun and the others walked from bottom to top, while the Japanese army walked from top to bottom. According to the principle, the Japanese army discovered Shi Junban first. But here is a jungle, looking from top to bottom, you can only see the green forest once, and the Japanese army's downhill road is covered with grass and trees. When moving forward, they need to pluck grass and pluck trees, which is easy to expose the target. In the war, those who appear in the enemy always have the lead. Han Xinfa firmly grasped this opportunity.
The sound of Japanese yelling everywhere in the jungle, and the officers were doing their best to rectify the troops. The Japanese army's strict training was also shown at this time.
After the initial panic, the Japanese quickly escaped from their own battles and moved closer to the officers while fighting. Several Chief Cao took the initiative to lead the troops to launch a charge to gain time for the main force.
The small group of Japanese soldiers' death charges won time for the brigade of Japanese troops. Although this time was short, the Japanese also made full use of this short time to rectify and unfold under the rain of bullets, and the situation was slightly alleviated.
"Architecturers fired!"
Han Xinfa's tone was a little annoyed. This time, the attack was difficult to walk, and the artillery only had the shells he carried with him. Considering the future battle, he did not want to fire the artillery, hoping to defeat the Japanese with a sudden attack, and then completely annihilate the Japanese in the pursuit. However, he did not expect that the Japanese were so tenacious that they were in stalemate with them in the ambush circle with huge casualties.
The shells exploded in the jungle with a short roar. The corpse flew into the air and was blocked by Shuquan. Then they fell heavily to the ground. The shells from both sides were flying in the air. Han Xinfa sneered in his heart. He knew that the reason why the Japanese army insisted here was definitely waiting for the main force behind to launch a counterattack on them.
Japanese, you probably don’t know that I have buried people on both sides, and I am waiting for your main force to come up.”
