Stationed in Lanxi County is a brigade and a squadron of the 114th Regiment of the Japanese Engineers, with more than 170 troops. They are responsible for the supervision of a batch of supplies raised from Lanxi County, as well as the newly-captured 23rd Regiment.

More than 200 prisoners of war.

In the current battle situation, these people are not important, and even Lanxi County is not important. However, why did the Japanese army mobilize a large group of troops to reinforce?

The Japanese army has a good tradition. According to a famous line in the TV series "Soldier Assault", it is "Don't abandon, don't give up."

Any Japanese army will try every means to rescue any force whenever they encounter an attack. This is really a very good tradition and an important guarantee for the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

Any army is attacked by the enemy and surrounded by the enemy. If they know that reinforcements will definitely arrive. This army will fight to the death and win the arrival of reinforcements. In this case, they can perform extremely tenacious battles.

The spirit bursts out with powerful combat power.

On the contrary, if the besieged people know that there are no reinforcements, their fighting will be greatly weakened, and in many cases, they will choose to surrender to the enemy.

Gao Jiu knew this characteristic of the Japanese army, so he led his troops to attack Lanxi County.

There are only three city gates in Lanxi County. Zhang Quan's first squadron attacks the east gate, Guo Hengming's second squadron attacks the west gate, Gao Jiu led Li Chengwu, Liang Shihu's third squadron, and Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion to attack the south gate.

Gao Jiu and others fought very lively, but did not cause any major damage to the Japanese army. They just forced these Japanese troops to ask for help from their superiors.

Gao Jiu made the right judgment on this, but the brigade commander Aopou's reaction was beyond his expectations.

Unlike Linchuan Town, the Japanese army in Lanxi County not only had radio stations, but after capturing the county town, their correspondents also repaired the telephone line and could directly connect to the 128th Brigade of the Japanese army, because [5200     www.bqg5200

After hearing the 115th Regiment report on the loss of Linchuan Town, Aobaofu learned that Lanxi County was attacked? He analyzed and judged that it should be the same group of enemies. And he judged that it should be Gao Jiu's Taohua Mountain Guerrillas.

Although Aobaofu didn't know how large the Taohuashan guerrillas of Gao Jiu were? However, he knew that Gao Jiu and others had the strength to eat a brigade of the Japanese army.

Therefore, while he sent Chiba Kotaro to lead a brigade to reinforce Lanxi County, he also sent Nomura Battalion of the 150th Infantry Regiment, leading two infantry squadrons and an artillery squadron of the 120th Field Artillery Regiment toward Lanxi

The county town came to reinforce.

Obaofu believes that although Wang Jindong's 187th Division has huge troops, they are surrounded by the Japanese army. They do not have the courage to take the initiative, and sooner or later they will be the meat on his chopping board.

The Taohua Mountain guerrillas led by Gaojiu have a vague whereabouts. If you are not careful, you will cause great harm to the Huang army. Therefore, he decided to concentrate the forces of the two brigades and first deal with Gaojiu's Taohua Mountain.

Guerrillas.

Obaofu has a good idea and has adopted appropriate tactics. Unfortunately, he knows too little about the Taohuashan guerrillas. Not only does he not know how many people there are in Taohuashan guerrillas?

How far? Not to mention anything else, just talk about radio stations? There are more than a dozen guerrillas in Taohuashan now.

Just when Gao Jiu deployed to attack Lanxi County, he had already sent two six-man combat teams in advance? Monitor the 150th Japanese Army Regiment on the east side of the county and the 115th Japanese Army Regiment on the north side of the county. These two troops are the first.

The main force of the 128th Brigade.

When Nomura Brigade of the 150th Regiment and Chiba Kotaro of the 115th Regiment were dispatched, the combat team responsible for monitoring them reported to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu thought that the enemy came too much at once? The plan to surround the points and attack aid was difficult to implement? Therefore, he decided to change his combat plan.

Gao Jiu left Guo Hengming's second squadron to continue besieging the county town. Hearing the explosion on the highway, he quickly evacuated, looking for opportunities to attack the reinforcements of the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu led Zhang Quan's first squadron, Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion and Li Chengwu's third squadron, and detoured to Zhiyuan County.

Gao Jiu and others left Lanxi County and quickly followed the highway. After about seven or eight miles, a fork appeared in front of him, and two roads were divided from here, two roads leading to Lanxi County.

At the city gate.

The original location for ambushing the enemy by Gao Jiu and others was chosen here.

Seeing Gao Jiu and others coming, Du Shengxi and others who were responsible for burying explosives here came up.

Gao Jiu said: "Old Du, the Japanese have come too many times, and the original ambush plan was temporarily cancelled."

Du Shengxi said with some depression: "Jiu Master, the explosives are almost buried, what should I do?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Then he buried it. Although the ambush is no longer fought, it is still necessary to teach the Japanese some lessons. After the explosives are buried, a combat team is left. When the Japanese come and detonate the explosives, they quickly leave the battle.

”

Du Shengxi called the leader of a combat team, explained to him, and led the other team members to leave with Gao Jiu and others.

Gao Jiu and others continued to walk along the highway for about ten miles, then left the road, and detoured from the fields to Zhiyuan County.

In order to urgently rush to help Lanxi County, the Japanese army mobilized all motor vehicles and carriages that could be mobilized and maneuvered at high speed towards Lanxi County.

At 3:40 am, the vanguard of the 115th Japanese Army's vanguard suffered a violent explosion. The section of the road that lasted more than 200 meters was instantly shrouded in flames and thick smoke. More than 300 Japanese devils were here violently

Life was lost in the explosion.

Chiba Kotaro once heard Hamada Yoshihiro say that his former captain Yazaki Shizuo had enjoyed this kind of treatment. He was not unaware of his vigilance, but on this long road, only a genius knew whether the enemy would bury explosives?

Where to bury the explosives? It’s simply unpredictable.

Chiba Kotaro suppressed his grief and anger, and while angrily scolding Gao Jiu for being despicable and shameless, he went to check the casualties of the troops.

Although it was night, many cars were blown up and burned with raging fires. The roads and around were filled with broken bodies of Huang soldiers, which made him feel disgusted.

The combat team of the firepower team ambushed nearby, after detonating the explosives, was reluctant to leave and wanted to enjoy their masterpieces. Seeing the embarrassing scene of the Japanese army on the road, the team members were all happy.

At this moment, with the help of the firelight, they found that there were a group of Japanese soldiers surrounded there. Depending on the situation, there should be a high-ranking Japanese official inside.

The team members refused to miss such a good opportunity. They did not dare to get too close. In order to quickly get out of the battle, they did not use machine guns, and directly set up a mortar and fired a three-shot rapid fire.

Then get on the horse and run.

Because the launch was too hasty, two of the three shells deviated from the target, and one shell exploded in the group of Japanese soldiers. The shell was only two meters away from Chiba Kotaro. Fortunately, he was standing next to him.

He was wearing two Japanese, but the air waves caused by the violent explosion still made him faint.

After he woke up, he realized that one of his legs had broken and a shrapnel was cut more than an inch long on his head. He wanted to call him mom in pain.

The Japanese shot into the darkness wildly, hoping to eliminate the abominable attackers hidden in the darkness!

However, the night was dark and there was no movement at all.

Chiba Kotaro was seriously injured. The Japanese army dispatched a military vehicle to send him back to Zhiyuan County and headed to the field hospital of the brigade headquarters.

The captain Nomura of the 150th Japanese Regiment, who arrived, discussed with Captain Kondo of the 115th Japanese Regiment, and decided to continue to go to Lanxi County to rescue the Japanese army surrounded in the county.

Seeing that it was not far from Lanxi County, they simply gave up their motor vehicles and left a small number of troops to take care of them. The main force of the two brigades ran forward towards the county town.

Hearing the violent explosions from the road in the distance, Guo Hengming and others knew that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived. According to the original plan, they immediately evacuated the county town. Guo Hengming divided the entire second squadron into five combat groups to let them be free.

In combat, while ensuring one's own safety, kill and injure the Japanese army as much as possible.

Guo Hengming personally led a combat team to guard the fields near the east gate of the county town, observing the movements of the Japanese army.

About half an hour later, with the help of the faint moonlight, Guo Hengming saw the Japanese troops reaching the east gate of the county town and slowly heading towards the city.

Guo Hengming personally operated the mortar and fired four rapid shots at the Japanese at the gate of the city. After the shooting, he asked a team member to put the mortar on his horse. He held a sniper rifle and other team members.

He shot the Japanese a few more shots, and saw that the Japanese began to fight back, so he got on the horse and left.

The Japanese who entered the East Gate were the troops of the Kondo Brigade of the 115th Regiment. They had just died of more than 300 people in the explosion, and were successively bombarded by enemy mortars and attacked by snipers, and more than a dozen people were killed or injured.

It made them laugh and cry.

The devils were so angry that they wanted to retaliate against the attackers, but in the vast night, where were the abominable attackers?

The Nomura Brigade, the 150th Japanese Army Regiment, was also attacked by the members of the Second Special War Squadron.

Nomura brigade went to the west gate from the fork in the road. On the road of more than ten miles, they encountered several groups of enemies. Each group of enemies had mortars, machine guns, and sniper rifles. They ran away after they finished shooting and tracked them down.

The Japanese soldiers found horse hoof marks in the soft fields, and they had no choice but to use these attackers who came and went like the wind.

After the Nomura Brigade entered the county town, it counted the casualties and found that in just a moment, more than 80 Japanese officers and soldiers had suffered casualties.

However, the Japanese troops guarding the city were very happy. In any case, their danger was lifted. So they reported the situation to the brigade commander Obaofu.

At this time, Obaofu was in a state of anxiety.

Starting from 4:20 am, a large group of attackers came from somewhere, with at least twenty mortars, and entered the Japanese camp from different directions, causing a large number of casualties to the Japanese army.

Obaofu organized troops to fight back, but he didn't know where the enemy was. Those hateful guys moved their positions after firing a few shots, and the Japanese officers and soldiers had no choice but to deal with them.

These damn attackers struggled for more than an hour, and the enemy disappeared as they watched the sky turn white.

After breakfast, the bright sunshine shines on the earth, warm and comfortable, and this is the best time of the day.

However, the brigade commander Obaofu was in a bad mood.

The 128th Brigade eliminated the left-behind troops left in Jinan. A total of 7,876 people came this time. It took exactly one day from the beginning of the battle to now. The losses of the troops made Aobaofu feel very distressed.

Before yesterday evening, the Huang army had several fierce battles, attacking Lanxi County, with 53 casualties. Attacking Qinglong Town, 97 casualties. Attacking Zhiyuan County, with 423 casualties. Daqinghe Bridge and Hanhuaduokou

A series of battles, 222 casualties were killed and killed.

These battles were mainly fought against a unit as large as the 187th Division of the National Army, with a total of 795 casualties.

However, last night, he was attacked by Gao Jiu and others, with 124 casualties in Linchuan Town, 443 casualties in Lanxi County. In Zhiyuan County, the casualties were even worse, reaching 572.

A total of 1,179 brave Huang army soldiers were lost overnight to the hands of the small Taohuashan guerrillas.

In just one day, the 128th Brigade had lost nearly 2,000 soldiers. If it were added to the Yamaguchi Brigade, which was eliminated by the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas, the losses of the entire brigade had reached nearly 3,000 people. Such losses were compared to theirs.

There are still many losses in attacking Nanjing.

The commander of the brigade, Ao Baofu, suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. He decided to give up Lanxi County, shrink his troops, monitor the Taohuashan guerrillas on the periphery with a small amount of troops, and concentrate his troops to attack Zhiyuan County.

However, the losses of the Japanese army had just begun.
