Section 5 Seeking merit (3)

Judging from the battlefield situation, Honma is not completely under Bai Chongxi's control. Hu Zongnan defends Dongming and Zhong Bin and Li Wen defends Zhencheng, Song Xilian and Li Tiejun guards Heze, trapping Honma Masaqing in this triangle area. Honma Masaqing cannot capture it for a long time. Sun Zhen leads the 102nd Army to Longguji, and Lan Yundong leads the 101st Army to Dingtao. Once they arrive, Honma will be completely in his hands.

The only good news for Honma is that the weather is still good. Although the heavy snow that lasted for seven or eight days has stopped, the lead clouds are still low, and the air force still cannot dispatch on a large scale. However, two or three forced takeoff planes pass by Honma's head every day, blowing off the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River.

Honma Masaqing wanted to attack Dongming and Zhencheng, but she could not let the attack. After Song Xilian arrived in Heze, he changed the simple defense of Li Tiejun, but took the initiative to attack and led the 36th Division to break out of Heze, forcing Honma Masaqing to draw a brigade from Dongming's attack troops to block the attack, greatly alleviating Hu Zongnan's pressure.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, the 22nd Army led by Tang Shizun wanted the 41st Division to fight fiercely. The battlefield expanded from the southwest of Hua County to the southwest of Hua County to the southwest of Hua County to the southeast of Hua County. The battle situation of the 41st Division gradually became unfavorable. They retreated across the Wei River and established a defensive position on the north bank of the Wei River. Tang Shizun left Pan Wenhua to lead the 23rd Army to confront the Japanese army in Hua County, and personally commanded the 21st Army to fight towards Puyang; south of the Liuqing River, Xue Yue commanded the 71st, 72nd, and 74th three armies to attack the Japanese defense line. The Juchi Brigade gave up the defense of the Zhangsanzhai line in Fangli and retreated to Wuqiu and Zhaodi. With the support of the 36th Division, a circular defense circle was established along the Zhaodi Laoye Temple in Wuqiu and supported it.

As soon as Xue Yue launched an attack, Honma felt something was wrong. Dongming and Zhencheng's resistance was very tenacious. From the captives, he learned that the defenders were the first elite army in China. As more and more troops in Zhencheng in Dongming Heze became more and more, and then he received information about the Forty-Ninth Army going north. Honma had the intention to retreat, and wanted to return to Hebei first, defeat Xue Yue, and then cross the Yellow River again to defeat the Forty-Ninth Army.

But Honma's idea was rejected by Sugiyama. Sugiyama told Honma clearly that the Zhongzhan team had already realized the fighting intention of the Imperial Army. Once he returned to Hebei, the main force of Zhongzhan on the eastern front would quickly retreat, and the military's plan to encircle and annihilate the main force of Zhongzhan team in Xuzhou area would all fail, so he had to defend south of the Yellow River. Soon, Sugiyama sent another telegram, and the reinforcements of the three divisions were gathering on the northern front.

After indirectly receiving the telegram, I gave up the attack on Dongming. I concentrated my forces to strengthen the attack on Zhencheng, trying to obtain a practical support point south of the Yellow River and then open the channel to the south.

Song Xilian and Hu Zongnan immediately joined forces. Zhuang Jihua ordered Hu Zongnan to unify all the troops in Heze, bite the home and guard Zhencheng, and wait for the Forty-Nine Army to arrive, and then encircle and annihilate the home and then.

Before the Japanese army's adjustment was completed, Hata Shunrok received a request from Fujita Jin. Li Yannian conquered Fengtai and formed a siege against Fujita Jin with Liao Lei. Fujita Jin was not good at fighting. Seeing that the encirclement was about to form, Fujita Jin retreated to Huainan.

Hata Shunruo urgently dispatched the 106th Division to reinforce Fujita Jin. Li Xianzhou led the 92nd Army and the 4th Anhui Security Brigade tightly grasped the 106th Division. Both sides fought fiercely on the east bank of Wabu Lake. The 92nd Army dragged the 106th Division at the cost of heavy casualties.

Fujita Jin retreated into Huainan, and Liao Lei commanded the Seventh Army to attack from Wangfeng. The 48th Army detoured the Wuwangdun south to capture the commanding height of Quanshan in the south. Fujita Jin was shocked and dispatched the 34th Regiment of the 29th Brigade to counterattack on Quanshan, and then fierce battle broke out.

Li Yannian led the Second Army to chase the Fifth Brigade across the Huai River. In Gugou, Qi Ji defeated the Japanese army in succession and approached the north bank of the Huai River. The Fifth Brigade retreated to Gaohuang.

Fujita, who was trapped in Huainan, was surrounded on three sides and was sent to call for help.

"Your Excellency, order your husband Tanishu to go south to reinforce. They are closest to Huainan, otherwise the Third Division will be in danger of the destruction of the entire army." The chief of staff of the Chinese Expeditionary Army Masami Kawabata Shunrok suggested.

"No, no, the general's purpose is to let Tanisuo go south and win time for them to besiege Honma on the northern line," Hata Shunrok said coldly, his tone was very tough: "What I want now is not going south, but going north. Fujita's bastard, the Third Division is the elite of the Imperial Army. People can be besieged him, but they will never be able to eat him, at least it is impossible now."

After pausing, Hata Shunroku glanced at the staff officers around him with cold eyes: "Tell Fujita that I have ordered the 106th Division to go for reinforcements. If he still can't stop it, he can retreat to Dingyuan and cover the Tsupi Line. Order Yamamuro to go north immediately, don't wait any longer, defeat the 75th Army in the shortest time, and then go north, break through the Seihe defense line, and encircle and annihilate the main force of the southern line."

Hata Shunji vaguely felt that the plan to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Fifth War Zone might fail. The battlefield space is too large, and it is difficult to coordinate the cooperation of several fronts. More importantly, the Chinese team does not seem to be unprepared. The two troops inserted into the rear of the Fifth War Zone were strongly blocked, which proves that it is better to use Honma as bait to encircle and annihilate the main force of the southern line of the Fifth War Zone. But this idea cannot be expressed now, otherwise it will be impossible for both Tokyo and Peking to agree.

On the bare mountain, a few strands of yellow weeds shook in the cold wind, and the dry branches stretched helplessly into the sky. The snow dyed the exposed rocks white. A few winter birds leaped among the woods and grass. The winding road stretched into the distance. There was no one on the road, only muddy that was dirty due to trampling. The mud water formed a layer of thin ice and shined in the sun.

A fleet of cars slowly drove from afar, and the plaster flags on the front of the car were fluttering in the wind. The black muzzle of the machine gun could be clearly seen on the front of the car. The rows of bayonets on both sides of the car emitted cold light, and the singing was transmitted with the wind.

"Damn it." Li Xiaogou cursed fiercely in his heart. He glanced at the right side. There was no sound coming from the right side. He had to quietly lie on the cold land.

Suddenly a slight sound came, and he turned his head and the team member nicknamed Monkey ran over the depression, sweat flowing down his cheeks.

"Captain, the situation is wrong. It is not the eighteen vehicles mentioned in the intelligence, but forty-two vehicles. There are Japanese escort cars close to a squadron." The monkey rushed to the back of a small hill bag and said hurriedly before he climbed.

"What!" The captain's face turned red: "You read that right?"

"Absolutely no." The monkey's voice was also very rapid: "Eighteen and forty-two can be seen clearly at a glance."

Obviously the captain was in a dilemma. He looked around and looked around and was obviously unsure of his mind. The Japanese army came out more than twice as many as the intelligence said. The guerrillas with more than 300 people would definitely not be able to take down a squadron. How could they not send it?

"Captain, fight!"

"Don't worry about him, let's talk about it after you fight. You can't let the Japanese pass like this."

"Yes, fight."

Several people around the captain immediately suggested whisperingly. The captain quietly emerged, glanced at the convoy getting closer and closer, and gritted his teeth: "Okay, everyone should hide. Follow my orders, I didn't shoot, and no one is allowed to move."

As the convoy got closer and a crisp gunshot sounded in the mining industry, "Boom," "Boom!" More than a dozen landmines exploded on the highway, and the five or six cars that were at the forefront were overturned, causing a series of explosions and causing chaos. The fierce firepower sprayed out from both sides of the highway further aggravated this chaos.

"Kill the princess!" The Japanese officer pulled out his command knife and roared wildly. The soldiers shot outside the road with all their hands and feet on the wreckage of the car. After carefully observing the enemy situation around Kishiguchi in the middle, they were not only a little relieved, but they were certainly not the elusive guerrillas, but another one, with few machine guns, only three, no cannons, and the maximum number was no more than four hundred.

After seeing the opponent's strength, Kinoshita sneered. The transport team had more than 100 guards and temporarily strengthened three 60 mortars. This guy actually dared to ambush his convoy. It was so bold. It was good that they could taste the power of the Imperial Army.

Kinoshita quickly arranged tactics, leaving more than 30 people to protect the convoy, and the rest of them attacked in three ways, first defeating the attacks from both wings.

The Japanese army attacked in three groups, two Japanese troops attacked on both sides, and the other quickly formed a defensive position at the front end, exploded on the ambush position, and the Japanese army quickly approached the ambush position. The captain was anxious, and the gunshots on the position were a little scattered, and some of the team members were panicked.

"Order the two wings to attack, use bayonets to hold it..." The captain gritted his teeth and was about to order the attack. At this time, a whizzing sound came from the air, and bursts of explosions were emitted from the Japanese convoy. A ball of smoke rose up in the Japanese artillery position, and the Japanese artillery fire was immediately suppressed.

The captain turned his head and quietly emerged behind his ambush line. These people were wearing white cloaks and were shooting at the Japanese army intently.

The Japanese soldiers who were charging bravely were suddenly attacked and fell down a large area. The rest hurriedly fell. A shooting hole suddenly appeared in a small mountain bag not far from the captain. A string of machine gun bullets spewed out from it, frightening the two guerrillas lying on the mountain bag. They hurriedly surrounded the mountain bag to check, but still couldn't find the entrance.

The white cloak rushed forward without saying a word and jumped into the captain's position. The captain saw clearly that the military uniforms under their cloak were ** uniforms, and hurriedly asked them which part they belonged.

"We are the special forces of the Forty-Nine Army." One person replied, the captain turned his head, and a familiar face appeared beside him. The owner of this face was wearing the rank of colonel, but his expression was cold.

"Crack off the Japanese firepower point," the colonel gave the order, then turned his head and said to the captain: "Tell your people, prepare to charge."

"You... are Goudan, Zhao Goudan!" said the captain staring at the colonel intently.

Zhao Hanjie was stunned. No one had called the name Goudan for a long time. Those who could call it were either an old friend of the 7th Company back then or a fellow villager in his hometown.

"I am Han Wensheng, you second brother Han, I don't know you anymore!" Han Wensheng was so happy that he almost came up to hug Zhao Hanjie.

Zhao Hanjie looked Han Wensheng up and down, and finally couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is it you? Didn't you say you are dead?"

"No, I participated in GCD and didn't dare to use my real name, so I used the pseudonym. My name is Han Yong now. I haven't been home for more than ten years. Naturally, I'm one of my family members. I'm dead."

Neither of them expected that they would meet an old friend here who came out to serve as a soldier and then became a deserter more than ten years ago. Zhao Hanjie was about to step forward.

"Deputy Captain, the captain ordered that Pharmacist Guo had blocked the Japanese's retreat and asked us to blow up the Japanese car as soon as possible."

"Yes," Zhao Hanjie turned around and said to Han Wensheng: "Second brother, let's talk after fighting the Japanese."

"Don't," Han Wensheng's eyes turned and he stopped. Zhao Hanjie turned around and looked at him strangely, not knowing what he was going to do: "Goudan, we are here for this batch of arms. If you want to blow it up, we will be in vain. You are equipped, you are responsible for covering, and we charge."

Zhao Hanjie originally wanted them to charge, but now he saw that it was Han Wensheng's troops, and he was embarrassed to do this: "You are so poor that you have to take your lives?"

"There's no way. Look, my army has just come from Dabie Mountain. More than half of them are recruits, and they can't even use a single shot. It depends on these weapons." Han Wensheng said with a wry smile.

"That's it, you dare to ambush a reinforcement squadron. If we don't come, we'll break your teeth." Zhao Hanjie teased with a smile, and then waved his hand: "Okay, prepare to charge, I haven't forgotten the 7th Company's tactics."

Han Wensheng did not respond to this. In the Red Army, he was famous for his bravery and good at fighting. He had strong tactical skills and good at attacking tough problems. He served as a division commander. Later, he was almost killed in the anti-counterfeiting position and was removed to the end. After the Fourth Front Army was transferred, the 25th Army suffered too much losses, so he was promoted to be the company commander. Later, he followed Gao Jingting to insist on guerrilla warfare in Hubei, Henan and Anhui. After the war of resistance began, Gao Jingting's troops were reorganized into the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army. He became the battalion commander of this detachment. After Gao Jingting was executed by the New Fourth Army at the end of June last year, he became the company commander. After the Second Battle of Jinpu Road at the end of the year, he was ordered to lead the advance team to advance eastward and become the advance team captain.

This advance team had the intention of exploring the way. He led the advance team to advance near Dingyuan, and fought several ambushes in central Anhui, strengthening the troops and boosting morale. However, in continuous combat, the troops had no time to conduct systematic training and rectification.

Several rockets flew out from the ambush position, and two firepower points on the highway flew into the sky. The charge sounded, and there were crazy shouts of killing sounds on both sides. Two people rushed out of their wings and rushed towards the highway.

Han Wensheng noticed that Zhao Hanjie's people didn't move at all, but just lay there and shot. Each time they went out, one of the Japanese opposite fell. Seeing that the crowd was about to rush onto the road, the people around Zhao Hanjie took out a whistle and urged twice. The white cloak on the position began to attack. Their attack method was completely different from Han Wensheng's troops. Every time they went out, there were three people, and a few were still on the position. Han Wensheng thought about it for a moment and knew that they were sharpshooters responsible for cover.

"Zhao Hanjie, what are you doing?" An angry roar came from behind. Han Wensheng turned around, and Song Yunfei ran over with anger on his face.
