As soon as they learned that the Japs were about to launch a large-scale raid on the Dameishan Military Division, government agencies at all levels in the Dameishan Border District had already begun to prepare for counter-mopping up. The Shanxian County Office was also fully prepared, waiting for the Japs to come.
We can urgently organize the people in the county to evacuate to Dameishan District.
However, being prepared is one thing, but actually evacuating is another.
After all, this involves the evacuation of hundreds of natural villages and hundreds of thousands of people in one county!
In addition to the evacuation of people, there is also the transfer of materials, grain, livestock, and more. For the common people, this is probably all their belongings. In addition, it is late at night, making emergency evacuation even more difficult, even if it is
No matter how strong the Communist Party's organizational capabilities are, it is still a little overwhelmed at the moment.
Leng Tiefeng was indeed very conservative when he said he would hold on for half the night.
In fact, if we want to transfer all the personnel and materials in Shan County, it may not be possible until noon tomorrow. Fortunately, Xu Rui will lead the main force of the Dameishan Military Division to arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest.
, the pressure on Leng Tiefeng will be greatly reduced, but before the main force of the military division arrives, their third guard battalion can only fight alone.
If the Japanese were allowed to attack outside Shanxian County, panic would inevitably breed in the city. Once congestion and riots occurred, the efficiency of the retreat would inevitably be greatly reduced, so Leng Tiefeng chose the blocking position at Erniang Slope, five miles away from the county seat.
, they are two hills that are horns to each other, no more than a hundred meters high, and the road passes between the two hillsides.
There were originally fortifications on Erniang Slope, and they were half surface fortifications and half tunnels. According to the plan, Erniang's tunnels were connected to the tunnels in the county and were part of the entire tunnel network in Shan County. Unfortunately, the Japanese raids were carried out in advance.
, the tunnel at Erguniang Slope has not had time to be connected with the tunnel in the county.
Leng Tiefeng and the Third Guard Battalion had just arrived at Erguniang Slope, and the Japanese arrived shortly after.
"The little devil came so quickly!" Gong Haifeng said, "We were only delayed for half an hour in preparing the suicide note."
"It's an hour and a half." Leng Tiefeng said, "You ignored the time it took Changjiao to run from Badou Town to the county seat."
"Oh, yes, one and a half hours." Gong Haifeng slapped his forehead and added, "But it's very fast. We walked 40 miles in one and a half hours. This is far beyond the normal marching intensity of the little devil.
What's more, it's still night time, it's day like a dog, it seems like the little devil is really going to jump over the wall in a hurry."
"This is not an ordinary Japanese infantry. Ordinary Japanese infantry are definitely not as fast as this." Leng Tiefeng said while adjusting the focus of the telescope, "If I guessed correctly, it should just be the Japanese motorized infantry."
As he spoke, the focus of the telescope was adjusted, and Leng Tiefeng could clearly see the Japanese convoy moving on the highway.
"Sure enough." Leng Tiefeng said ferociously, "It's just the motorized infantry of the Japs. No wonder it's so fast."
"Really?" Gong Haifeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Is it just the little devil's motorized infantry? That's fine."
Gong Haifeng can be regarded as a veteran of the Dameishan Military Division. He has fought dozens of battles with the Japs, large and small. He knows that the Japs’ motorized infantry are not large in organization. They are usually in the squadron organization and rarely in the brigade organization.
, so Gong Haifeng instinctively thought that what was coming was just the Japanese motorized squadron.
If it's just a motorized squadron, it won't be a big problem.
Although the Japanese motorized infantry squadron has more firepower than the average Japanese infantry squadron, their Third Guarding Battalion is not a vegetarian. It would be a dream for the Japanese to defeat their Third Guarding Battalion with a mere motorized squadron!
However, Leng Tiefeng then said: "The bad news is that this time it is not a motorized squadron, but an entire motorized infantry brigade. And, if I am not blinded, this motorized infantry brigade also has machine guns."
Squadron, field artillery squad plus a tank squad, we may be in big trouble!"
"What?" Two black lines immediately appeared on Gong Haifeng's forehead.
A motorized infantry brigade, a heavy machine gun squadron, a field artillery squad and a tank squad, both in terms of strength and firepower, have already crushed their third guard regiment. It seems that today's battle is really fierce.
Fortunately, the suicide note has been prepared, so there is nothing to worry about.
Leng Tiefeng asked again: "Battle Commander Gong, have all the landmines been laid?"
"It's buried." Gong Haifeng said, "But the mines buried are half a kilogram of explosives, and the enemy's lead is a tank. I'm afraid it's of no use. If I had known better, I should have asked Minister Xiao for a few twenty kilograms.
Mines, even if it's a Japanese armored vehicle, can still blow it up into the sky, damn it."
Leng Tiefeng said: "Then let go of the leading armored vehicles and tanks, and focus on blowing up the big trucks at the back. As long as the tires of the big trucks at the back are blown out, the Japanese will have to walk, and their marching speed will slow down."
"Then I have to go over and say something." After Gong Haifeng said that, he hurried away.
Leng Tiefeng looked back at Sweet Potato who was following behind him, and said in a harmonious voice: "Dad Gua, when the fight starts, you will follow me and don't run around, do you hear me?"
"I know." Digua nodded vigorously, his voice trembling.
"Don't be afraid." Leng Tiefeng patted Di Gua on the shoulder and said, "That's what war is all about."
"Deputy Deputy Deputy Commander, am I, I, I, so embarrassed?" Digua stammered, "I, I, I, am extremely afraid of death. I really don't want to be a soldier, but my sister insists on it.
I'll leave the army."
"Is it embarrassing? Actually, it's not." Leng Tiefeng lowered his voice and said, "I'll tell you a little secret, but you must not tell others."
Digua shook his head: "I won't tell others."
Leng Tiefeng said: "The first time I went to the battlefield, I was scared to death. It was the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War. Our Tax Police Corps was ordered to rush to Jiangwan to reinforce the 79th Route Army, but we were killed halfway.
I was bombed by Japanese aviation, and an aerial bomb landed right next to me, only this far away from me."
Speaking of this, Leng Tiefeng even gestured with his hands. The distance was less than one meter.
After hearing this, Di Gua felt bad and asked in a trembling voice: "What happened next? Were you killed by the bombing?"
"I was going to be bombed to death, but I can still talk to you here?" Leng Tiefeng smiled and continued, "It was a dumb bomb and didn't explode, but it scared me half to death. I was scared.
I peed, I kid you not, my pants were all wet. Because of this, I was laughed at by the veterans of our company for a whole year."
Digua was shocked when he heard this. He really didn't expect that in the minds of the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Dameishan Military Division, Deputy Commander Leng, who looked like a god of war, would have experienced such an embarrassing incident?
Then Digua asked again: "Deputy Commander, what happens next?"
There was a look of nostalgia in Leng Tiefeng's eyes, and he said: "Later, my company commander told me that it is not shameful at all to be afraid of death or going to the battlefield, because we love life and love life, so we are afraid of death.
I will resist the war, but my company commander also told me that in this world, some things are really more important than life."
"I know this, my sister said it." Digua said, "My sister said that faith is more important than life."
"Your sister is a great warrior, she is a true warrior." Leng Tiefeng was in awe and added, "But I am not as great as your sister. I have no faith, and I don't want to fight for the so-called freedom.
War, country and nation are too vague to me. The only thing I want to do is to protect the relatives around me so that they will not be harmed."
Digua nodded subconsciously, as if he understood, but in fact his mind was still confused.
Leng Tiefeng knew that when recruits go to the battlefield for the first time, they are particularly prone to random thoughts. Once they have random thoughts, they tend to get scared. Therefore, the most effective way is to find something for the recruit to do so that he has no time to think. At the moment, Leng Tiefeng
Then he pulled out his bayonet and gave Di Gua a small whetstone to tell him to sharpen the bayonet faster.
With a sound of sweet potato, he started to sharpen the bayonet with the whetstone.
(Dividing line)
Not long after, the Japanese convoy arrived at Erguniang Slope.
The two Type 97 light tanks and four armored vehicles that opened the way passed smoothly. However, when it was the turn of the following heavy-duty trucks, a series of explosions suddenly occurred on the road. After the continuous explosions, some
Several trucks had their tires blown out, and one truck even rolled over.
The truck in front encountered a blockage, and several armored vehicles following behind stopped.
Jiro Asada, who was resting with his eyes closed in one of the armored vehicles, immediately opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "What happened? Where did the explosion come from?"
The adjutant replied: "Captain, it seems a mine exploded!"
As he spoke, the adjutant opened the window and said: "Captain, two trucks from the first squadron had flat tires, and one truck rolled over on its side. The highway is blocked."
"Baga!" Jiro Asada said, "order to clear the overturned truck immediately."
"Hai!" the adjutant nodded, then opened the cover and leaned out, shouting loudly, "The captain has ordered, push the overturned truck to the side of the road immediately, don't block the convoy behind, hurry!"
There was a response from outside the armored vehicle, and then a large group of Japanese soldiers got off several trucks and prepared to work together to push the overturned truck to the side of the road. However, at this moment, intensive gunfire suddenly rang out from the hillsides on both sides of the road.
There was a sound, and the Japanese who were working together to push the cart were caught off guard and fell immediately.
"Baga, there is an ambush!" Jiro Asada's adjutant saw this and quickly retreated into the carriage.
The attack by the Third Guard Battalion came very suddenly, but the Japanese soldiers of the Kumamoto Division were well-trained and responded quickly. Some of them lay down on the spot, and some of them knelt on one knee, and raised their 38 rifles one after another.
Da Gai, using the cover of the truck, started shooting at the officers and soldiers of the security battalion on the hillside.
