Guo Zian also said the same thing, "Indeed, after resting, it becomes more tiring!"
In fact, veterans who got up from the bottom know that although soldiers after high-intensity marching are very tired, their bodies have adapted to the violent exercise. If they descend suddenly and want to warm up after resting, they will be very difficult to return to the previous state. Therefore, after the violent marching, the combat effectiveness of soldiers who have been resting for a period of time will decrease greatly.
Dismounted and several company officers carefully studied the map, and finally a group of people focused on a location on the map - Wangjiahezi.
Wangjiahezi is about seven miles away from Gaizhou. Located behind Gaizhou, there is a Mount God. It is said that it is a mountain that is just a hilly terrain, but it has tightly pinched the Japanese army's way southward. Guo Zi'an's regiment and several other nearby attacking regiments received a task. That is, if there is no conflict with the Japanese army when they arrive near Gaizhou, then go south and take down Mount God, cut off the Japanese army's way to escape from Gaizhou, and wait for the main force to come up.
A buzzing sound came from above his head, and Guo Zi'an raised his telescope with great vigilance to look into the sky. Although he knew very well that in the Liaodong Peninsula, the Japanese had few planes after being attacked by the main force of the Main Air Force of China, they were still very vigilant. After all, they actually did not have much counterattack ability to threats from the sky.
After the plane buzzed and circled over his head for a while, Guo Zian breathed a sigh of relief and put down his telescope. He had already seen that the aircraft was a high-altitude destined reconnaissance aircraft equipped by the Republic of China.
"Don't be nervous, it's our own plane!"
After he made up his mind, several battalion commanders and the company commander finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered to lift the alert and continue to rest.
A quarter of an hour later, Guo Zi'an closed the cover of the pocket watch and stood up to summon everyone to continue on the road. Several officers were embarrassed. One of the burly men was in a strong Northeast accent and pleaded for everyone, "Group, let the brothers rest for a while. We were rushing on the road before, and even the mules couldn't hold on, let alone the flesh and blood body!"
"Can't rest any more!" Guo Zi'an flatly refused. He also knew that everyone needed to rest, but after looking at the time, it was very tense. They shouldered an extremely important responsibility and had to rush to Gaizhou before the main force or sweep the road to Gaizhou, or take down Wangjiahezi.
He put away the map and asked an officer who was standing by his side to ask for the number of people. He learned that seven or eight soldiers were left behind, but now he really didn't have time to wait for the people who fell behind to follow him. He had to rush to Wangjiahezi as soon as possible. Those who fell behind had their main force gathered behind him.
"Everyone has...a gathering!"
"Brothers! Work harder, Wangjiahezi is ahead! When we get to the place, let's have a good rest!"
While encouraging the soldiers, Guo Zian gave his horse to a soldier who was out of strength during the marching. He sat on the horse all the way, but he didn't feel too tired. Then he set an example and commanded the troops to speed up the marching.
Everyone has only one thought in their minds, that is, to move forward, to move forward! We must take down Wangjiahezi before the Japanese army in Gaizhou is issued, and establish a position there, waiting to cooperate with the follow-up troops to block the Japanese army in Gaizhou's retreat.
However, Guo Zi'an and others did not expect that they were one step slower after all. When they marched hard all the way to Wangjiahezi, the scout cavalry sent out came back with injuries and reported bad news. The Japanese army had occupied Wangjiahezi and established a line of defense there. The Japanese obviously understood the importance of Wangjiahezi.
After Guo Zian cursed for a while, he was still unwilling to give up his initiative.
"How many Japanese troops are there on the other side?"
"The report group seats, the Japanese were very cunning and set up stakes in many places to avoid our high-altitude reconnaissance. The brothers did not expect that they would hit their stakes and failed to complete the reconnaissance mission."
There was no way, Guo Zian had to re-arrange the situation of spying on the Japanese side. He was not at ease about this, so he personally brought the guard squad, touched a mountain, and used a telescope to reconnaise. It was roughly estimated that the enemy they were facing might have the size of a brigade. Although the number of people was only four or five hundred, it was well-equipped. He found at least four machine guns and six mountain cannons. The Third Division was a veteran Japanese strong division. At the beginning of the battle, the Republic of China had repeatedly warned the following that we must be careful to deal with the Japanese army, because under normal circumstances, a field confrontation of one part of the Third Division could completely prevent the two main divisions of the National Defense Force from falling short of a disadvantage.
Because of the favorable conditions such as occupying the terrain, Guo Zian and the others suffered when they wanted to take it down. The only thing that made him relieved was that the Japanese obviously had just arrived here not long ago, and their defense line was built very roughly.
Now there are two choices in front of Guo Zi'an: the first choice is to attack decisively, and take down Wangjiahezi while the Japanese troops are not yet firm in their foothold; the second choice is to call on the Lu Hang brothers behind to support, concentrate troops and firepower, and take action from the sky and land at the same time to take down Wangjiahezi.
Guo Zian just pondered for a moment and then gave up the intention of asking the telegrapher to contact Luhang. Although the senior executives had decided on a strategy before the war, in order to pursue speed in the face of a tough battle, they could contact Luhang's aircraft and provide support.
However, although the Land Airlines has concentrated hundreds of aircraft on the northern front, they have a more important task, which is to bomb and destroy the strongholds guarded by Japanese heavy troops along the route.
In front of them, Wangjiahezi had only a little resistance here, so they mobilized the power of Luhang. Guo Zi couldn't afford to lose that person. After checking the terrain, he made up his mind and decided to launch an attack immediately and take down Wangjiahezi before the Japanese army strengthened the construction of the fortifications.
After making the decision, Guo Zi'an immediately arranged it. He knew that the Japanese must have noticed that they had come from meeting their scouts. So, he decisively divided the main force and attacked the Japanese positions in the front. Then he arranged for some soldiers to quietly touch the ridge and prepare to detour the dangerous area on one side to suddenly attack the Japanese army. The machine guns and artillery also selected two high grounds to start setting up positions. The brand new 75mm mortar began to adjust the angle and direction, preparing to destroy several mountain cannons placed on Mount God as soon as possible.
The gunshots rang out quickly. In order to cover the soldiers on the flanks, the feint attack troops on the front were very tough.
About half an hour later, the sneak attack troops on the flank had successfully crossed the hills and touched the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the charge to sound.
"Fight! The artillery brothers took action, aimed at me and took off the Japanese mountain cannons!"
After Guo Zi'an issued a full-scale attack order, the artillery that had only four roaring balls of their attacking regiment immediately tripled, and the shells directly covered both the Japanese positions and Mount God!
"Bang..."
"Bang..."
In the first round of volleys, the artillery bombed a mountain cannon, which was hit by a sudden blow. The Japanese troops in the village were immediately disorganized. Before they could organize effective resistance, the second round of artillery fire rushed over. This time, not only did another mountain cannon be blown up, but it also detonated the pile of shells piled up by the mountain cannon. The ammunition was extremely powerful and destroyed all mountain cannons and ammunition in an instant. The black smoke soared into the sky, flew into the sky, and the broken limbs of the Japanese soldiers flew into the sky. The violent explosion was deafening, and the shells that were not detonated were also blown up high and landed far away.
Without the cover of artillery, the Japanese infantry was a toothless tiger. Guo Zian was not hesitant to have limited artillery shells and machine gun bullets, and immediately ordered artillery fire to suppress the Japanese army, and then ordered a charge.
"Brothers, let the Japanese know that our Chinese place is not that easy to occupy! Count on..."
"Kill..."
Guo Zi'an stood up and rushed forward with a domestic m1911 pistol, but he pressed one of his guards and quickly grabbed and pressed him down. There were regulations in the army that in order to avoid stray bullet damage in the war, the command system collapsed. Generally, the army does not encourage middle and senior officers to rush to the front line.
"Da da da da da da...da da da da..."
The trumpet soldiers blew the charge, and there was a shout at the foot of the mountain. The infantrymen who could no longer hold back rushed towards the Japanese position with a bayonet rifle. At the same time, the machine gunners responsible for covering the infantry charge also opened fire immediately.
"Dadada..."
The muzzle of a domestic Hatchcais light machine gun was sprayed with angry flames. At the same time, the artillery also moved the mortars to the ridge and directly shot them. In cooperation with the machine gunners, the gunners suppressed the Japanese machine gun fire. The artillery soon ended, and the hand-to-hand melee battle began on the position. Although some Japanese troops tried to resist stubbornly, the Guo Zi'an regiment was not only large in number, but also well-equipped. Although the Japanese struggled to maintain their excellent individual quality for half an hour before they were completely captured, there was no retreat or escaper from the beginning to the end, and the battle ended.
Seeing that the battle between Wangjiahezi was over, Guo Zian reported the good news to the rear and ordered the soldiers to build fortifications immediately. At the same time, he did not forget to send people to interrogate those Japanese who were captured due to injuries.
Not long after, the 167th Brigade received information from Guo Zi'an's regiment: "The 4012 position has been taken down, and our department has completed the closing of the door as ordered and has begun to build fortifications nearby. No matter whether the enemy's offensive is as good as possible, our department will stick to it. We hope that the main force will arrive as soon as possible and work together to encircle and suppress the 18th Regiment of the main Japanese army in Gaizhou!" m
