Chapter 681 Dongwuling Victory (2)
The villagers of Dongwuling have never seen airplanes flying back and forth over the village this year, but have never been bombed by Japanese fighter jets. Today, I saw the planes diving in the air again. I didn’t expect it to be so big and getting bigger.
The villagers didn't know that the planes in the air were getting bigger and bigger, mainly determined by the altitude. This time, the plane was flying and diving from the east like a giant, and it seemed that it was about to fall from the sky.
Lei Yunfeng led the 54th Regiment to Dongwuling and found that Japanese fighter planes flew over from the east and immediately issued a loud order: "Order the troops to protect the villagers from evacuating the village quickly and hide in the mountains to prevent Japanese planes from bombing.
The villagers of Dongwuling Village saw the rapid dive of the fighter planes in the air getting bigger and bigger, and did not feel dangerous, just like a devil, about to destroy their homes and destroy their lives.
The battalions, companies and platoons of the 54th Regiment received orders to evacuate the people from the village field and immediately mobilized the villagers to leave everything and quickly retreat out of the village.
Not only did some villagers not cooperate with the evacuation, they ran into their homes and yelled and went to the door, but they didn't open the door no matter how they knocked on it.
Leiyunfeng saw that some villagers did not cooperate. In order to protect the villagers and the soldiers of the 54th Regiment, they ordered them to evacuate the village as quickly as possible, and arranged for hiding the villagers who refused to evacuate. Never run around in the village, so as not to become the target of Japanese fighter jets for hunting.
The Japanese fighter aircraft consisted of three bombers. The Navy Captain Ichiro Noda was ordered to bomb the Chinese troops ambush on the front line of Dongwuling to attack the Japanese transport convoy. After aerial reconnaissance, it was found that the Chinese troops had completed the ambush mission and had all withdrawn.
It was also discovered that the Japanese transport convoy that stretched for more than ten kilometers. At this time, the smoke of gunpowder rose into the air, and the entire transport convoy was completely destroyed by the Chinese troops, paralyzed on the road and became a pile of scrap iron.
The crew commander, Ichiro Noda, angrily ordered three bombers to carry out retaliatory bombings on all villages in the Dongwuling area.
Three Japanese bombers roared eastward, Xiwuling, Wangzhai Town, Xinjiahe, Majiawa and other villages launched barbaric and indiscriminate bombing. Dongwuling became the main target of Japanese fighter bombing and was also the first village to carry out bombing.
Captain Noda Ichiro dived from a height of 5,000 meters to the Dongwu Ridge. When he was one thousand meters away from the ground of Dongwu Ridge, he began to drop extremely lethal bombs and fired any active creature that appeared in the village with the most ferocious airborne machine guns.
Dongwuling was suddenly bombed by Japanese bombers. The bomb landed from the sky and exploded to kill houses within the range. All the living animals of the villagers were either destroyed or instantly strangled their lives that seemed very weak in front of the bomb.
Dongxiwuling was bombed by three Japanese fighter jets almost at the same time. The village, which was not too large, was bombed by six Japanese fighter jets. At this time, it had been destroyed into ruins, and there were few houses that were not affected by the bomb beacon.
The three Japanese bombers who were bombing indiscriminately completed the retaliatory bombing mission against Dongxiwuling and immediately changed their courses to carry out brutal and cruel bombing in villages in Wangzhai Town and Xinjiahe River.
Leiyun Peak saw three Japanese bombers in the air raging in the nearby villages and bombarding them indiscriminately. At this time, he had returned to the airspace in the Dongwuling area for temporary safety. He ordered the 54th Regiment to rescue the nearby villages as fast as possible to minimize the losses.
The soldiers from the third battalion of the 54th Regiment were brutally bombarded by Japanese fighters on several villages, causing huge casualties and losses to the villagers. They couldn't help but rush into the village in anger, extinguishing the burning smoke and fire, and rescuing the wounded who were still alive.
Leiyun Peak sent three battalions of the 4th Regiment to nearby villages for rescue. More than an hour later, they received reports sent by people from each battalion. This time, the Japanese bomber group bombed the villages in the Dongwuling area, causing great losses and casualties.
He ordered the battalions to draw manpower and material resources to help the villagers recover their self-rescue, and organized the villagers to set up self-rescue teams to help those houses destroyed by Japanese fighter jets and those poor villagers with heavy casualties in their families launched rescue.
The next day, each battalion basically completed the task of helping the fellow villagers to rescue themselves and returned to Dongwuling.
Deputy Regiment Commander Hou Sheng reported: "Boss, this time our army fought a beautiful ambush against the Japanese transport convoy on the front line of Dongwuling. The seized spoils were very large. Due to the hasty evacuation of the battlefield, many spoils were not taken away. Look..."
"Deputy Commander Hou ordered each battalion to organize two to three working teams to mobilize villagers to transport the spoils that the troops did not take away, so as to resolve the family difficulties caused by the bombing of enemy fighter jets.
If possible, we can do some publicity and mobilize these Shanli kids to fight against Japan and attack the Japanese. Our 54th Regiment warmly welcomes you."
The 54th Regiment quickly organized ten working teams to enter the nearby villages to guide the work. With the guidance and help of the working team, each village recovered from the pain and followed the working team to the road to transport important materials left by the Japanese transport convoy.
After a selfless rescue of each village, the 54th Regiment took risks to rescue the villagers during the bombing of Japanese fighter jets in the air. Seeing the goodness of the troops to them, the villagers sent their children to the 54th Regiment to serve as soldiers and killed the Japanese.
In just two days, the 54th Regiment actually added more than 200 troops. At this time, the actual troops of the 54th Regiment had reached nearly 1,000, which was considered a combat regiment with basically full capacity in the entire system.
The Dongwuling Battle was the first largest ambush on the Zhongtiaoshan defensive front. This battle not only destroyed seven transportation squadrons, five guards and seven operating guards in the Japanese Army Station in Qinshui City, but also severely damaged the Japanese army's logistics supply line.
This battle was beautiful. Although the remnants of the Japanese transport team successfully broke through, it caused great casualties to the huge transport convoy. The large number of weapons and equipment and important military supplies carried by the transport convoy became the spoils of our army.
The materials that were not taken away were transported back by villagers in nearby villages, which solved their temporary food and clothing.
The commander of the Zhongtiaoshan War Zone sent a telegram to Shangfeng: "'The 10th Division encircled and annihilated the enemies in Wangzhai Town, Dong and Xiwuling, the division commander Peng of the division took the lead in the battle and rushed fiercely.
More than 1,500 enemies were killed, 24 were captured, 250 long and short guns, 28 light and heavy machine guns, 7 mortars, 289 heavy and heavy cars, 4 armored vehicles, 7 cars and other military supplies were completely defeated.''The remaining enemies were still encircled and annihilated by me in Doupogou, Gugou and Maoershan areas'."
The battle in Dongwuling was a complete victory, and the Japanese weapons, ammunition, vehicles and military supplies were seized, which were far more than the above reports.
Among them, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the Third Column of the Death Death, which were cooperating with the cooperation, launched a sneak attack on the Japanese transport convoy and launched a large-scale attack on the enemy and seized spoils in Wangzhai Town, Xinjiahe, and the 54th Regiment in the Battle of Maliwa and Maoer Mountain. The officers and soldiers fought bravely to eliminate the enemy and seized spoils, which were not included in the list of reports by the head of the Zhongtiaoshan War Zone.
The Dongwuling Battle was captured and destroyed a large number of transport vehicles of the Japanese transport team. Due to the limited conditions of the troops, the seized vehicles were not allowed to be taken away. In order not to be taken back by the Japanese army, the commander of the 10th Division ordered the troops to blow up all vehicles and burn the spoils that could not be taken away.
A terrifying series of explosions soon came on the road on the Dongwuling line.
