Sanchakou is the only way from Yangliutun to Xiaoli Village.
The main force of the 7th Infantry Brigade of the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Shijiazhuang and the main force of Liu Zhensan's puppet army were ambushing in the nearby Baomi field. Artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions had been constructed, pretending to be the Eighth Route Army and heading towards Chi's Army.
The people asking for help have been sent out, and now they are waiting for the Chi family army to come and die.
Seeing that it was past three o'clock in the afternoon, but the Chi family army had not appeared, Major Qiuye couldn't help but become a little impatient. At this moment, the communications soldier suddenly came to Major Qiuye with a hurried expression, and immediately put his feet back and stood at attention:
"Sir, the Qinghe County Gendarmerie Headquarters and the arsenal were attacked by unknown armed forces at the same time. Captain Xiaolin is requesting reinforcements!"
"What?" Major Akino's face suddenly changed and he said in disbelief, "How dare the Chinese people attack Qinghe County?"
Liu Zhensan, the commander of the puppet army next to him, spoke some Japanese, and his expression changed immediately. Qinghe County is almost an empty city now, and the remaining troops are no more than two Japanese squads and a company of puppet troops. The total number is only more than 200 people. The Chi family
If the army simply ignores the life and death of Tubal Road and takes the opportunity to attack Qinghe County, it will be in trouble.
"Hai." The communications soldier suddenly lowered his head and said, "Captain Xiaolin said in the telegram that the militants who attacked Qinghe County were extremely powerful and were probably the remnants of the Chinese Army that retreated from the frontal battlefield. Captain Xiaolin also said that the military police
We can only hold on to the arsenal for a maximum of two hours, please request our troops to return support quickly!"
"Baqiyalu, these damn China pigs!" Major Akino cursed fiercely, then turned back and ordered to the orderly, "Order, all infantry squadrons, artillery squadrons and heavy machine gun squadrons to withdraw from the ambush positions immediately and return quickly.
To aid Qinghe County, the baggage squadron will follow, quickly!"
"Hai." The orderly suddenly bowed his head and immediately took the order and left.
In less than a moment, the Japanese and puppet troops hiding in the corn fields emerged one after another, and went onto the road in a chaotic manner. Under the command of officers at all levels, they quickly began to form a team. In less than ten minutes, the Japanese and puppet troops had completed the formation.
, and then lined up in four neat columns and marched back towards Qinghe County in a mighty manner.
…………
Panchuanao.
Located in Xiaoli Village, it is the only way from Yangliutun to Qinghe County.
There are rolling hills on both sides of Panchuanao, with a height of only about ten meters. In the southern Hebei plain, there are almost no mountains. Small hills like this are already very rare "mountains and mountains"!
It was early June, and the sorghum, corn, soybeans, and potatoes on both sides of the highway were growing so luxuriantly that they looked like an endless green gauze tent.
Chi Chengfeng's three thousand Chi family troops were ambushing in this endless green gauze tent.
In order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, Chi Chengfeng divided the army into two parts. More than a hundred elite guards from the 2nd Regiment and more than 800 stragglers from the 29th Army were lying in ambush in front, about 200 meters away from the road. Two hundred meters is a
At the extreme distance, if you move further forward, it will be difficult to avoid the Japanese reconnaissance and search team.
As for the remaining two thousand mobs, they were lying in wait five hundred meters away. Chi Chengfeng was also worried that these mobs would open fire out of nervousness. If they really exposed the whereabouts of the Chi family army in advance because of the misfire, then
This battle is not an ambush, but an encounter. With the current strength of the Chi family army, they will definitely lose.
Suddenly, billowing smoke and dust rose on the horizon ahead.
Chi Chengfeng put down the telescope, turned around and said to Liu Yi: "Please take a seat, the Japanese are coming!"
When Liu Yi hurriedly raised his telescope to observe, he saw thousands of Japanese soldiers coming on the road ahead, followed by more puppet troops, less than two thousand people. In addition to the infantry marching on foot, the Japanese soldiers
Surprisingly, there were four large trucks in the marching column, dragging four Type 92 infantry guns behind them.
"Captain Chi, are you sure?" Liu Yi couldn't help but become a little nervous.
Under normal circumstances, a Japanese infantry brigade has four infantry squadrons, each with 150 infantrymen. In addition to the four infantry squadrons, there are also an artillery squadron, a heavy machine gun squadron, a baggage squadron, a communications team, and a health team.
The total number of combatants and non-combatants totaled more than 1,100!
If it were the old troops of the Baoshan Brigade, even if there was only one battalion, Liu Yi would dare to fight with these little devils. But for the three thousand rabble under Chi Chengfeng, Liu Yi really lacks confidence. Wait a minute.
During the fight, these rabble-rousers blew up the camp when they heard the sound of Japanese artillery. That was not an ambush, but seeking death on their own.
"His grandma's." Chi Chengfeng said ferociously, "Just take a seat and take a look!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese team responsible for clearing the way suddenly lay down on the road, and then took a serious posture to meet the enemy, set up machine guns and fired wildly at the sorghum and corn fields on both sides of the road.
The Japanese actually found nothing, they were just conducting routine fire reconnaissance.
Fortunately, Chi Chengfeng had already taken precautions and put the more than two thousand rabble behind.
Otherwise, just this burst of firepower reconnaissance, the ragtag group of people will be exposed.
After the Japanese reconnaissance team finished shooting two magazines, they sent a dozen Japanese soldiers to rush into the Baomi field in a pretentious manner. Seeing that there was no movement deep in the Baomi field, the Japanese soldiers retreated to the road one after another and continued to move forward. The reconnaissance team
In less than two minutes, the main force of more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops marched into the pocket formation set up by Chi's army.
Suddenly, Chi Chengfeng suddenly raised the tortoise box and fired a shot into the sky.
Wang Xiaoer, deputy commander of the Chi Jiajun army, quickly detonated the minefield. In an instant, dozens of clouds of smoke and dust exploded on the highway. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers were immediately lifted into the air by the air wave generated by the explosion. Immediately afterwards,
, the corn and sorghum fields on both sides of the road rang out with gunshots like exploding beans, and the Japanese and puppet troops who were marching in dense formation suddenly fell in large numbers.
After all, the Japanese troops were well-trained. The Japanese troops in front reacted quickly. Under the command of officers at all levels, they rolled over and lay down on both sides of the road. They each found bunkers and began to fight back. However, the more than 2,000 puppet troops behind them suddenly exploded.
After being blamed, most of the puppet troops threw down their weapons and ran away. Only more than 500 hard-core puppet troops under the command of Liu Zhensan hurriedly fought back.
After several rows of guns, Chi Chengfeng immediately ordered a charge!
It's impossible not to charge. If the fight continues, the enemy's firepower advantage will only become more and more obvious.
When the little devils set up the 92 infantry artillery and mortars, the battle will be impossible to fight.
In a short time, more than 100 veterans of the 2nd Regiment Guard Company and more than 800 stragglers of the 29th Army stood up from the corn field with shouts, either holding bayonets or waving sharp swords and rushing down the hill.
In just a few dozen seconds, more than 300 veterans fell on the road of charge. However, the remaining 500 or so veterans finally crossed the 200-meter death line, rushed onto the road, and started a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese army.
!
After getting closer, the advantage of the 29th Army's Sword Team was immediately apparent.
During the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, the 29th Army's Sword Brigade was not inferior to the first-rate infantry of the Japanese army, let alone the third-rate infantry of the independent mixed brigades of the Japanese army.
What's more, the more than 800 stragglers gathered by Chi Chengfeng are all hard-blooded veterans who fought in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War. Whose hands are not stained with the blood of the Japanese? Basically, two veterans of the 29th Army wielded a large knife.
If it is rounded, it can block the thrusts of three Japanese infantry. In a one-on-one duel, the Japanese soldiers will definitely die!
There is a reason why sword weapons can dominate in the cold weapon era.
However, overall, the Chi Jiajun's more than 500 elite soldiers are at a clear disadvantage, because there are still more than 900 Japanese soldiers, which is almost twice as many as the Chi Jiajun's 500 elite soldiers, plus Liu Zhensan's more than 500 soldiers.
The situation became more and more dangerous for the die-hard puppet troops. By the time more than two thousand members of the Chi Family Army rushed onto the road, only a hundred or so of the five hundred elite soldiers were left!
However, the Japanese and Liu Zhensan’s hardcore puppet troops only had less than 800 people left!
More than 2,000 mobs surrounded less than 800 Japanese and puppet troops, and it was a melee.
In less than ten minutes, the brutal hand-to-hand combat was basically over. About a hundred of the more than 1,100 Japanese troops were killed by mine arrays, and more than two hundred others were shot dead. The remaining more than 700 people were all killed.
Died in hand-to-hand combat, Liu Zhensan's more than 500 hard-core puppet troops were all hacked to death, while the remaining more than 1,000 puppet troops all ran away.
The casualties of the Chi's Army were also extremely heavy. Only 100 of the 900 veterans survived, and more than 500 of the more than 2,000 rabble were killed or wounded. Before the ambush started, there were still more than 2,900 Chi's Army, but
After the ambush, there were less than 2,000 Chi family soldiers left, and more than half of them were injured.
But then again, these casualties are completely worth it.
Chi's army not only eliminated an infantry brigade of the Japanese army and a regiment of the puppet army, but also seized a large amount of weapons and equipment, especially the equipment of the Japanese infantry brigade. For the national army at this time, this was definitely the most advanced weapon.
Equipped with this batch of weapons and equipment, Chi's army will have the confidence to fight a tough battle with the Japanese army.
"Beautiful!" Liu Yi said fiercely on the hilltop, "Well done!"
"What's so beautiful? The casualties are too great." Chi Chengfeng said in a depressed tone, "Oh my god, the ambush battle was like this. If the host found out, he would slap me in the mouth!" After saying this, Chi Chengfeng said
Feng said with some pain again, "We are really exhausted this time. Without months of training, the troops will not be able to regain their combat effectiveness."
"In a war, casualties are inevitable." Liu Yi patted Chi Chengfeng on the shoulder and said.
Since it is a war, people will die anyway. The Baoshan Brigade fought all the way from the Sixing Warehouse and was injured more than once or twice. According to the usual practice, such troops should have been sent to the rear for training, and there was no one
Don't expect to regain your combat effectiveness after a year and a half, but the fact is exactly the opposite!
The Baoshan Brigade did not lose its combat effectiveness due to the huge consumption, but became stronger with each fight!
In one sentence, never judge soldiers in war years by the standards of peacetime!
Especially when a country or a nation is at a critical juncture of life and death, the soldiers of this nation will have incredible endurance for death!
