On the road from Yangcheng to Jincheng, a Japanese military convoy was speeding along. In front of the convoy, five or six motorcycles were clearing the way for the army. Dust was flying along the way.
In the car, Major General Katayama Shotar¨, commander of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, looked at the lush mountains and forests outside the window, feeling a little depressed.
In his opinion, this trip to the south is a good opportunity to gain merit, and they are progressing smoothly this time.
The task of their independent fourth brigade is to cooperate with the 35th Division of Wenxian County and the 21st Division of Qinyang to encircle the 14th Army Group in the East in Zhongtiao Mountain. At present, the 14th Army's retreat to the south of the Yellow River is cut off, and the 14th Army Group's retreat south of the Yellow River is cut off. The 35th and 21st Divisions have also arrived at the scheduled attack position, and the 16th Independent Mixed Brigade has also completed its mission. Now they are waiting for their northern troops to move south.
By then, as long as the army moves south smoothly, it will be able to complete the north-south pincer attack on the 14th Group Army.
In this case, judging from the situation of the 14th Group Army, the possibility of breaking out is extremely slim.
But what Major General Katayama did not expect was that just after they captured Dongfeng Town and were preparing to continue southward, they suddenly received a combat order from the First Army Headquarters, requiring them to mobilize a unit to return to Jincheng immediately to aid.
Jincheng was unexpectedly attacked by someone, and the one who attacked was the 129th Division of Tubal Road!
This news is no less than a bolt from the blue for Major General Katayama. As the most important garrison along the Zhengtai Railway, Major General Katayama knows how difficult the Tubal Road is, especially the 129th Division, which is even more difficult to deal with.
Even his predecessor, the poor Lord Baiwu, was dismissed from the base camp because of his inability to encircle and suppress this Tubal group, and because the Fourth Brigade suffered too heavy losses in the previous attack.
After receiving the telegram from the First Army Headquarters, Lieutenant General Sakurai Shosan, as the former enemy's highest commander, immediately ordered Katayama Shoutaro to immediately take more than 3,000 elite troops under his command, and also transferred two infantrymen from the 33rd Division The troops of the brigade formed a reinforcement force of 5,500 people, and immediately went north by car to return to Jincheng to aid.
Katayama Shoutaro knows that once he leaves, no matter how great the achievements of the Yangcheng Front are, they will have nothing to do with him, which is really a pity.
But there is no way, the official level will crush people to death!
He is a lieutenant general, a division commander, and a former enemy commander. He is just a brigade commander who has just taken office less than three months ago. His arms really can¡¯t twist his thighs!
Fortunately, in order to rush for time, the 33rd Division took out all the cars. Now everyone in the army is moving forward by car. Otherwise, just walking would be unbearable.
"Mano, where are you? How long will it take to reach Jincheng?" Katayama Shoutaro asked the adjutant Mano Kiku beside him.
Captain Mano did not dare to neglect, and immediately said: "Sir, the town we just passed is called Dadongou Town, which is still 18 kilometers away from Jincheng."
"Youxi, how is the battle situation in the direction of Jincheng? How long can Saito and the others sustain it?"
"Sir, Jincheng was defeated two hours ago, but Chief Saito and the others are still holding on!"
"Well, although Saito's abilities are not that great, he is smart enough to know when to persist and when to retreat. If they don't persist, even if they are lucky enough to escape, Qiu Hou will let him off the hook. A layer of skin!¡±
"Hai!"
¡°Order the troops to speed up and try to reach Jincheng within twenty minutes!¡± Major General Katayama Province Taro ordered in a deep voice.
"Hai!"
Dividing line
Xu Hu and others have been waiting here for an hour and a half at Gusong Ridge, which is only seven or eight kilometers away from the Japanese convoy!
It was almost nine o'clock, but there was still no news about the little Japanese reinforcements, which made Xu Hu and Xie Baojun a little bit uneasy.
"Military seat, do you think this little devil's reinforcements are coming or not?" Xie Baojun asked a little impatiently.
Xu Hu shook his head and said: "I don't know. After all, this battle is different from the past. We don't know much about the situation on the front line in Yangcheng. We have no idea whether the kid will come back to help us!"
However, the deputy division commander Li Dingguo on the side said: "I still believe in the judgment of the commander-in-chief on this matter. Since the commander-in-chief asked us to set up an ambush here, it means that the commander-in-chief believes that the Japs will come!"
"Um"
Just as he was talking, a combat staff officer hurried over and said, "Report, urgent call from the reconnaissance force!"
"Don't waste time, just??! "Xu Hu said.
"Reporting to the commander, our reconnaissance force in Dadongou Town has just sent a telegram saying that a Japanese convoy passed by Dadongou Town five minutes ago. The little devils had more than 150 cars and a dozen sidecar motorcycles. The vehicles are all filled with Japanese soldiers, and the total force is estimated to be more than 5,000 people." The combat staff report reported.
"What is the serial number of the little devil? Is there a towed artillery behind the car?" Xu Hu asked immediately.
"The designation is the Fourth Independent Brigade, and there is also the flag of the 33rd Division. There is no artillery behind the car!"
"I know, let them continue to monitor and see if the little devil has any follow-up troops!"
"yes!"
After the combat staff left, Xu Hu immediately said: "The situation has changed. The Japs' reinforcements are only more than 5,000 people, not the 10,000 people we previously expected. Moreover, they are not marching on foot, nor do they have cavalry, but all on horseback." The car is moving forward, the battle plan needs to be slightly changed!"
"Military seat, what are you going to do?" Xie Baojun said.
"Our ambush position was built according to the size of the Little Japs with 10,000 people, and the length is more than two kilometers. However, the Little Japs now only have more than a hundred cars, and the length of the convoy is expected to be a little more than one kilometer, so the length of the ambush position is It needs to be shortened.¡±
"Yes, being too long is not conducive to combat effectiveness, and it will also weaken the intensity of firepower!" Xie Baojun said.
"If the notice goes down, the soldiers five hundred meters in front will withdraw from their positions immediately, and the troops will be replenished in the middle position. It will be completed within five minutes!"
"yes!"
Following Xu Hu¡¯s order, a large number of national army soldiers withdrew from the ambush position in front!
As soon as they finished doing this, they saw a long dragon with billowing smoke appearing in the distance. It was obviously the little devil's convoy that had arrived!
Five minutes later, more than a dozen motorcycles entered the ambush position of the national army!
These Japanese motorcycles had entered Gusongling Mountain Road, and they fired like crazy at the hillsides on both sides of the mountain road.
For a moment, the "click-click" sound of machine guns resounded throughout the mountain. People who didn't know it thought how fierce the fighting was here!
However, there was no movement at all from the national army on the hillside. They were not new recruits and had already figured out the tricks of the little devils.
When the Japs fired, they did not mean that they had discovered anything unusual, but they were conducting fire reconnaissance at a suspicious place. If the troops who were not familiar with the Japs' routines at this time must have thought that the Japs had discovered them, they would then shoot. Just playing into the little devil's hands.
But obviously, the little devil¡¯s tricks can¡¯t scare Xu Hu and others!
When the little devil fired, the military commanders of each regiment and battalion had already ordered all ministries to pay attention to concealment, and told everyone not to shoot without orders.
??????????????? But the little devil didn¡¯t hear any counter-attacks after firing randomly, so he immediately decided that the place was safe, and detached two vehicles to turn around to meet the large force, while the remaining motorcycles continued to drive forward to clear the way for the large force.
Seeing the little Japanese¡¯s movements, Xu Hu and others knew that they had deceived the Japanese soldiers. Next, the small Japanese¡¯s large army would enter their ambush position, and immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle!
