Chapter 166 Interspersed with detours, mice and dogs steal (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
The enemy was about to retreat, but Yang Tianfeng was not ready to let them go.
Although the enemy was moving forward, it was unimaginable to gather more than 3,000 people on a road like a snake. However, the enemy's progress was almost no opportunity to take advantage of the way, and the distance was only five or six miles. Even infantry responded to each other and supported them very quickly.
But there is nothing absolute. The enemy thinks he is safe and even hopes that his opponent can attack one way, while the other two ways can reinforce and siege. Of course, Yang Tianfeng will not act rashly, but he keeps aiming at the enemy, waiting for the enemy to reveal his flaws.
The terrain at the junction of Yongbian made Yang Tianfeng feel that it was possible to make a fuss and prepared for it. Now, he felt that it was time to take action.
The Huanghuai Plain is affected by the yellowing and the near-river terraces. In many places, the rivers are diverted several times to form trough-shaped and dish-shaped depressions. Due to long-term water accumulation, closed lake depressions are formed, with great water stagnation at the bottom of the lake and poor water retention around them.
"According to the speed of the enemy's retreat, they will stay overnight here. Our army will use powerful troops to intersperse at night to cut off the connection between its left wing and the middle route." Yang Tianfeng pointed on the map. "There are several lakes and depressions between the two enemies. If you want to reinforce, the enemy brigade can only attack and advance along this route, and the troops are difficult to expand. If you force detour, it will take time and we can also calmly block the attack. In this way, we can use the advantages of the internal force, block the enemy brigade in a narrow area, and cut off the encirclement and annihilation of the left wing enemy."
Five or six thousand troops were leaving with three thousand enemies, and Yang Tianfeng could not be willing to do so. He happened to use a main force of the Gui army to attack hard, greatly extending the time for the enemy to prepare for the next sweep.
The general idea and plan were settled, and Yang Tianfeng's eyes swept over the officers and staff below.
"Our Second Detachment is responsible for dividing the enemy and blocking the enemy from both sides!" Chen Dalong's Second Detachment fought not many battles, not that it was not that strong. On the contrary, he kept drawing veterans from other troops and training was extremely strict. However, most of the personnel were Yang Tianfeng's old foundation for starting his career, and guarding the base area made him feel most at ease.
"You are familiar with the terrain and have sufficient troops, so I feel relieved. But if you want to leave me a brigade, I want to restrain the attack on the enemy in the middle." Yang Tianfeng nodded, his eyes turned to the captain of the brigade and the commander of the Gui army sent by Jiang's detachment, Mo Dehong, "The task of encircling and annihilating the enemy's left wing troops will be handed over to the two. There are probably 1,88 enemies, less than 300 Japanese soldiers, and the rest are all puppet troops."
"Yes, sir." Captain Zhao Jiasheng stood attentively and saluted without saying a word.
"Yes, Chief Yang." Mo Dehong was a little late and immediately attracted the eyes of several Guangxi officers. He hurriedly added: "Please rest assured, Chief Yang, our regiment and the Japanese have not fought once or twice, and have never fought timidly."
Yang Tianfeng smiled and nodded, "Tianfeng has heard of the strong combat power of the Guangxi army. This time it is really exciting to be able to witness it with his own eyes." As he said that, his face turned stern, "When encircling and annihilation of the enemy, all units must rush bravely and eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible. I will mobilize enough artillery fire to provide you with the greatest support while the night and terrain is hidden. In addition, I have prepared a few big dishes for the Japanese to try it out."
…………….
The night became darker and thicker, and the villages, woods, potholes, and ditches all seemed to have all fallen into a mysterious silence.
In this silence, countless soldiers were running rapidly, and their figures appeared and disappeared among the ravines. Although most of them were light-fitting, almost everyone carried a bundle of wheat straw or hay.
Mo Dehong didn't quite understand it at first, but he quickly thought it through. When he interspersed in the wild, his feet would soon get muddy, which would get heavier and heavier, not only consume physical strength, but also affect his speed. Moreover, there were some lakes and swamps in the middle. If it wasn't very deep, paving the road with hay would be a shortcut.
As Mo Dehong thought, the division troops were moving forward in a tortuous manner under the guidance of the guide. When they encountered difficult areas, they used this method to avoid the main road, and took advantage of the night to advance in the wilderness and interspersed between the two enemies. The besieged troops also used this method to form a siege against the left-wing enemies.
"There was a unit with low weapons and equipment, but its combat will was extremely tenacious, and he fought bravely with the most powerful army in the world. Well, in terms of firepower, the gap between the current Chinese army and the Japanese devils was much greater than that of the current Chinese army. But they finally won, and the tunnel combat was awesome, and they were especially used to interspersed at night, and at most seventy miles a night." Yang Tianfeng sat in the command center, waiting for the telegrams of the troops, but chatted with the staff with emotion.
"Captain Yang, there really is such an army?" A staff officer smiled and expressed disbelief.
"There will be, even if there is not now, there will be in the future." Yang Tianfeng did not laugh, but said seriously: "My goal is to train the troops into such a strong army. No matter how you bomb the plane, bombard the cannon, or rush the tank, you can't destroy our army..."
A staff officer hurried in, and Yang Tianfeng stopped and nodded at the staff officer.
"The call from the Chen Detachment, the interspersed troops are in place." The staff officer read a telegram loudly.
Yang Tianfeng looked at his watch for nearly five hours, which was within his expectations. Moreover, because he had to strive for hidden actions, it was later than the larger roundabout siege troops.
"Order, launch an attack as planned." Yang Tianfeng suddenly stood up and issued an order loudly.
To annihilate the left-wing enemy, the first is to attack the middle lane. The purpose is to restrain the enemy, and the second is to make the enemy unable to distinguish the direction of the main attack and fall into a short-term chaos. The so-called capturing the king first to capture the enemy, and attacking the middle lane will make the enemy believe it.
Yang Tianfeng, who was uncomfortable without using tricks, prepared an unexpected attack for the enemy this time, which was something the enemy could never dream of, and it also caused a big surprise to his own people.
The moon was buried in the deep clouds, and gusts of wind blew the branches rustled.
Wang Jianxiong, the captain of the third brigade of the Second Detachment, held up the telescope, observed for a while, and handed it to Cao Xiaoding. Cao Xiaoding grinned, "I can estimate the distance clearly without this."
Seeing Wang Jianxiong glaring, Cao Xiaoding hurriedly took the telescope and looked forward in a pretentious manner.
Wang Jianxiong looked serious on the surface, but when he saw Cao Xiaoding, he couldn't help but want to laugh. He still remembered the scene when he grabbed Cao Xiaoding and sent him to Yang Tianfeng when he was a small squad leader when he grabbed Cao Xiaoding and sent him to Yang Tianfeng...
Cao Xiaoding, the famous Cao Jiasheng, was originally a stealing dog and selling meat. He had several tricks to catch and train dogs. Later, he was arrested by the patrol officer and was almost beaten to death. Seeing that he was about to die, the patrol officer pushed him off the prison car and threw him into the alkaline ground. After midnight, a severe rain woke him up.
According to him, he went to touch the nose of the King of Hell, and he had a life in vain. He would make a fortune for many years. So he stopped stealing dogs, wrapped a broom bump in his waist, and carried a machete on his back, and robbed them in the fields. When the honest farmers and farmers who were doing business in the market walked past him, they suddenly jumped out of the sorghum field. This trick often scared those people to death, and he took out all the money on his body before he let them go.
Later, the guy felt that he had no technical content when he jumped around, so he wanted to upgrade the gun. But the gun was too expensive and he couldn't afford it. Once, he spent two silver dollars to buy a "water pearl" bullet from a soldier.
The bullet has a red head and green butt, which looks quite scary. The soldier also told him that as long as the striker hits the green butt, the bullet can fly out and kill people. Hearing this, the Cao family suddenly realized and took the bullet to scare the farmers.
He held a "water pearl" bullet in one hand and a three-inch iron nail in the other, threatening the farmers who came back from the market, "Do you give the money? If you dare to say you don't give it, I'll nail it!" The farmers were also afraid, not knowing what high-tech weapon he was carrying, and usually throws money away and runs away. Since then, the local area has added a catchphrase: If you give it or not? If you dare to say you don't give it, I'll nail it! Cao Xiaoding's reputation spreads here.
At that time, Yang Tianfeng fiddled with the red head and green butt in his hand, looking incredible, and pointed the bullet at the people in the house, holding the right hand in a slight manner, as if he was holding a big iron nail, "Do you give it to me?" If you dare to say that you don't give it to me, I'll nail it! This is so creative."
At that time, there was an unstoppable burst of laughter in the house. The loudest one seemed to be himself?
Cao Xiaoding respectfully handed the telescope to Wang Jianxiong, interrupting his thoughts and stopping the laughter that almost burst out.
Wang Jianxiong never expected that Yang Tianfeng would keep this guy who was a joke. When we met again, the guy became a little officer, as well as a few subordinates and a group of local dogs.
"Sir, I think it's just right from here." Although Cao Xiaoding is a small officer, he is still very unconfident when facing serious soldiers.
Wang Jianxiong nodded and said, "Then come from here, Chief Yang said, the general attacker shall prevail."
"Okay, OK." Cao Xiaodai walked into the dog group, touched the dog's head one by one, comforted the restless dog, pointed one hand at the enemy camp with a faint light in the distance, and whispered, "If you go later, there will be something delicious, so bear it!"
Following Cao Xiaoding's command, several subordinates quickly cut the fuse at a certain length and placed it on the explosive pack on the dog's back.
Cao Xiaoding personally lit the fuse, "Go!" shouted, let go of the dog's rope, pointed forward again, slapped the dog's head suddenly, and the native dog rushed out with a whistle, spread his legs, and leaped straight to the enemy's camp.
Chapter completed!
