After the Battle of Taipingchuan, Yang Zhen, who had been sharing the joys and sorrows with the officers and soldiers, this time, except for wearing only one pistol and not carrying heavy rifles and ammunition, he finally had a substantial difference from ordinary officers and soldiers.

When they broke up, they saw Yang Zhen's face pale due to insufficient rest and excessive use of his brain. In order not to make Yang Zhen too tired, he could rest on the road for a while, Dong Ping brought him a seized maroon ocean horse.

This horse was Sasaki Hiroichi's mount. When Yang Zhen shot Taipingchuan, he escaped because he was tied to the ammunition depot with other pack horses. As a native of Northeastern people, Dong Ping still has a certain understanding of horses.

When counting the seized horses, he could see at a glance that due to conditions, this horse could only temporarily mix in a group of ordinary pack horses. The horses were different from other horses, and they were definitely a good war horse. So he handed the horse over to Yang Zhen as a mount.

It’s just a pity that his little flattery was a bit abnormal. Yang Zhen, who had been riding a military transport plane, a helicopter, and a variety of transportation vehicles including various tanks and armored vehicles, never rode a horse. Not to mention riding a horse, he wouldn’t even ride a horse.

The troops were given the limited horses that were developing and growing, and all the horses were handed over to the artillery and baggage units. Although Li Yanping once said that he would pick a few horses from the middle for him and Guo Bingxun as mounts. But after a while of thinking, Yang Zhen was still not willing to do so.

For troops with insufficient transportation capacity now, horses are really too precious. They are not that delicate, so they can be marching on foot. As for mounts, let’s talk about them when they get a sufficient number of horses in the future.

Northeast is several horse-producing places in China, with a huge horse production. Although the quality is not very good, it cannot be compared with Qinghai and Xinjiang. However, there is no shortage of horses. The former Northeast Army has a very large cavalry unit.

As long as the troops fight, there will still be horses. So Yang Zhen has never learned to ride a horse. Moreover, he really doesn't have the energy now, so he takes some time to learn to ride a horse.

Time was tight and Yang Zhen could not practice riding skills, so he could only sigh at the horse. He handed the horse over to Du Kaishan, who was in the shelter of the rear, and asked him to use this horse to carry the soldiers who were less physically and might fall behind. However, he was the same officers and soldiers, and he drove his steps.

In fact, Yang Zhen did not ride a horse, and gave Dong Ping the mount to transport weak soldiers to transport them, not only because he could not ride a horse. The main reason is that when the troops are extremely tired at the moment, Yang Zhen, the leader, still has to show the consistent style of officers and soldiers he always advocates.

In addition to carrying seized ammunition, especially the two trucks carrying the shells and the large trucks carrying the wounded and sick, the troops were all marching in hikes. As the highest leader, they always had to show some leading roles at this time.

Although Yang Zhen was also very tired, and even had a little overuse of his brain, his fatigue was still above those ordinary soldiers. But Yang Zhen knew even more that what he needed to do now was to boost morale and let the soldiers overcome the fatigue caused by continuous marching operations in order to prepare for the next battle, rather than rest.

But Yang Zhen didn't know that he handed over the horses that Dong Ping gave him to Du Kaishan to carry the weak soldiers. His actions of marching like other officers and soldiers brought considerable encouragement to the morale of the troops.

To be honest, after continuous physical training, we marched and fought continuously without additional rest. Although we had a guaranteed diet and had a good meal, this intensity was really too strong for most soldiers who were only recruited for more than a month.

Not to mention those new recruits, even the old backbone trained by the secret battalion of the old Heidingzi, who is now the company platoon leader, can't stand it. The entire army now has a strong sense of fatigue from top to bottom. There are some complaints about Yang Zhen's continuous march, continuous rest after the battle, and continuing to go north.

However, no matter how complaints are, the soldiers are very simple. Because most of Yang Zhen's troops were rescued prisoners of war and laborers, the entire troops seemed very young. The overall army was relatively young, and the biggest disadvantage was that they lacked experience. However, in this way, there were few veterans and few new recruits.

Everyone saw Yang Zhen’s actions these days. When they were training, Yang Zhen did not rest and led them to train. When they were resting, Yang Zhen modified the training plan all night, sleepless all night.

They all heard from the brothers of the Guard Company that the lights in the Commander's lounge always light up for a night. Many of them have also heard from Director Zhang, who is very beautiful but also very fierce in the Military Medical Office. He quarreled with the Commander several times for rest.

They know that they are tired, and their leaders are even more tired. Because when they are training, their leaders are working. When they are resting, their leaders are still working.

Although the battle in Taiping River did not last long, everyone finally took advantage of the light to rest for a while. Their leaders were still holding up a telescope to observe the situation on the battlefield. They were still facing the map and flashlight to think about the next battle plan.

Everyone knows that horseback riding is easier than hiking. But now the commander gave up the opportunity to ride a horse, and even the two trucks used to transport ammunition and supplies were not seated, but hiking with them.

In the eyes of all the soldiers, following such a leader who shares the joys and sorrows with the officers and soldiers, he will definitely not abandon them and escape alone in times of crisis. Especially those soldiers who took turns to ride on the horses that Yang Zhen insisted on giving up despite Du Kaishan's opposition, were even more excited.

Yang Zhen over there didn't know that his simple horse action caused such a big stir in the hearts of the soldiers. His mind was constantly brewing and revising the upcoming next combat plan.

In order to hide his whereabouts, Yang Zhen repeatedly gave up the idea of ​​crossing the Gejie River north of Taiping River and directly into Wang Shazitun. Instead, he chose to bypass the group tribe set up by the Japanese in Dequantun, and then set up a marching route to cover the Jianshanzi line to the west, and then enter the mountainous area west of Dequantun, and directly into the Miaoling Mountain line.

Although the route from the north of Taiping River to cross the Gejie River and directly to Wang Shazitun is a little shorter on the march, this route is relatively densely populated. There are several Japanese and puppet group tribes. In the case of having no time to solve these group troops, this route is very likely to expose its combat intentions.

Once the Japanese army found that their large troops were turning, they were afraid that the Japanese troops along the Fasi River would immediately turn and retreat. Once the two Japanese brigades gathered together, the battle below would not be so easy. Once the Japanese army attacked without regard for casualties, Yang Zhen was not sure that the two battalions led by Guo Bingxun could catch the Japanese army.

Although the west of Daodequantun is slightly farther away, the road is relatively sparsely populated, which can effectively conceal its whereabouts. After the Battle of Taipingchuan, the artillery has replenished relatively sufficient pack horses. After decomposing the mountain cannons and transporting them from six horses, it can greatly alleviate the fatigue of the artillery troops.

After the Battle of Taipingchuan, Yang Zhen divided the artillery into two pieces. The field artillery battalion was commanded by Qiu Jintang and went to the Jianshanzi line to cooperate with Wang Guangyu in the battle. He brought two mountain artillery battalions and rushed to the Miaolingzi Mountain line at a rapid march, trying to encircle Heli's enemy before they converged with the enemy on the Fasihe line.

At this time, with the adjutant of Sasaki Hiroichi, for Yang Zhen, all the Japanese deployments in the territory of Tangyuan are now unsecured. The adjutant was not as tenacious as Yang Zhen imagined. Just a few whips down, he told Yang Zhen everything he wanted to know.

Now that he has mastered all the deployment of the Japanese army, it is much easier for Yang Zhen to march and arrange the formation. Except for some concerns about the movements of the Fourth Division stationed in Jiamusi, the rest of the Japanese army is already under his control.

In fact, Yang Zhen didn't have to hurry to rush. Because the 17th Regiment of the 8th Division, which was originally a garrison of Heli, was the first brigade of the 17th Regiment of the 8th Division at the junction of Tangyuan and Luobei, received the order of Sasaki to adjust the deployment and ordered him to immediately join the main force, but did not take action immediately. He just led his troops out of Heli Town and stopped before entering the mountain.

Given that it was already dusk when he received the order, his team leader Zuo Jianjiu was a master of the people who adhered to the tradition of not spending nights in the mountains and forests when he cleared the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. He delayed until the dawn of the next morning before entering the mountain. When Yang Zhen arrived at the line of Miaolingzi Mountain the next morning, the first team began to enter the mountain one after another.

Although the Japanese army marched very quickly, the distance between Zuo Masaki Kuo Ren's previous movements was too slow, and the distance between him and the main force who had crossed the Fasi River was getting bigger and bigger. The time I was delayed before was not enough to make up for the speed of the march now.

Zuo Jian's delay in time before being a man not only made him truly become a lonely man in the subsequent combat operations. It also made Yang Zhen not only calmly set up an ambush circle, but also had a rest for a while, alleviating the fatigue of the troops.

Zuo Jian was probably thinking hard, or thinking that the area where the corps captain had swept was safe. Not only did he follow the original marching route of the Second Battalion on the marching route, but he was also very relaxed in defense.

The heavy machine guns were broken down into several large pieces and placed on the back of the pack horse. Even the vanguards only sent a rifle team carrying a light machine gun, but did not send a small team of troops as usual.

Although before leaving from Heli, given the endings of the two brigades of the 11th Division, as well as the personal encounters of the 12th Division and himself, the commander of the corps, Colonel Kawada Yi, had repeatedly warned him to be more careful when marching. This anti-money armed force is extremely cunning and fierce in firepower.

But Zuo Jian was still very stubborn and believed that it would be safe to follow the route he had taken by the corps leader. Moreover, the main forces of the anti-Manchu army were on the front line of Jianshanzi, and even if he encountered small armed harassment, it would have nothing to do with him. The Eighth Division was not a fool-in-arms like the Fourth Division. A brigade was actually defeated by thousands of anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements.

Therefore, when his subordinates were marching, they sent more troops to clear the mountains on both sides of the marching route and to make the vanguard a small team. Zuo Jian was a junior, refused without hesitation. In his opinion, the most important thing he was to meet with the regiment commander now, rather than slowly marching while sweeping.

The person who was most happy about Zuo Jian's arrogance and lax defense for a long time was Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen, who thought he wanted to fight a head-on battle, immediately changed his tactics and turned the siege into an ambush.

The tactics arranged by Yang Zhen for Zuo Jian for a long time were completely a replica of the tactics of encircling and annihilation of the two brigades of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army on the South Road. After receiving a report of the Japanese army's marching with the scouts, Yang Zhen naturally remembered the successful battle examples he had used before.

Since there are good plans to copy, and they are all ambushing and the combat methods are the same, why not mention the old things again? Why do you need to spend your brains on drawing up new combat plans? However, Yang Zhen did not copy them all, and adjusted his troops' deployment according to changes in the terrain.

After all, this place is a shallow mountain area, and the terrain is still very different from that of the Marble Stone. Moreover, it is close to the plains. Once the war is unfavorable, the Japanese army can easily leave quickly and withdraw back to Heli.

Miaolingzi Mountain is not high, with an altitude of only more than 300 meters. It is incomparable to the marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marbled marble

Even compared with the marsh huzi, one of the main wood mining sites of the Japanese army built on the Jiasui Railway, the vegetation here is better. The thinnest trees on the mountain should be as thick as bowls. These lush vegetation can provide the troops with a good concealment.

Zuo Jianqiuweiren didn't know that as soon as he left Heli Town, several pairs of eyes were staring at him secretly. After entering the mountain, more eyes were peeping at him. His every move was transmitted to the Yang Zhen command center in Miaolingzi Mountain through radio waves.

After receiving the report that all the Japanese troops had entered the ambush circle, Yang Zhen picked up the field phone and issued an order to fire to Ma Qichang, who had been waiting for the battle without any hesitation.

The ruler has been measured long ago, and there is no need to aim or correct the ballistic. The artillery is just like being on the line of Marbles, and you just need to bury the shells according to the predetermined ruler.

However, this time, because the supply of Qunce Mountain had not yet arrived, and after two high-intensity uses, Yang Zhen had very few shells on his hand. Although some ammunition was seized in the Battle of Taipingchuan, the number of shells was not large, with only more than one hundred 75mm mountain cannon shells.

In addition, the opponent did not have the largest number of troops last time, and only had one infantry brigade. Therefore, Yang Zhen issued a quota for fifteen shells for each cannon, and it would not be possible to fire one more. However, even if each of the twenty-four cannons only had fifteen shells, there were more than 300 shells. These shells were not something Zuo Jian, who had no defense at this time, could digest them.

When the first shell landed in the Japanese marching brigade, the power of the explosion and the flying shrapnel almost sent more than 30 Japanese troops to the west, Zuo Jianu, who was awakened by the sound of cannons, was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He had heard the faint sound of cannons from the direction of Taipingchuan last night, but he thought it was the Japanese army in Taipingchuan who used artillery fire to repel the harassing anti-Manchu elements. He absolutely did not expect that it was someone who was sweeping his superior headquarters.

Zuo Jianqiuwei, who escaped from the explosion of shells, was lifted off his horse and escaped. Looking at the troops who were bombed under the dense artillery fire, who were killed and injured, he not only cursed: "Baga, aren't these anti-Manchu armed forces dealing with the 24th Regiment on the front line of Jianshanzi, and are resisting the attack of the main force of the corps? Why did they appear here? So many shells and artillery from them?"

However, he was a top student from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School. In just a moment, he realized that he had been ambushed Zuo Masaki, and immediately ordered the combat staff around him to immediately connect with Jiamusi and requested to send an airplane to cover the troops.

It’s just a pity that Yang Zhen did not give him a chance to contact the outside world. When the staff officer who received his order told him in frustration that the radio station, and the horse carrying the radio station was destroyed by his opponent at the first time, Zuo Jianyu knew that it was a trap designed by the opponent in front of him.

After knowing that there is no hope of asking for help, Zuoma Kurohiro made the same choice as Colonel Murata Takayo. He did not choose to break through because he knew that since his opponent had painstakingly set up such an ambush circle, he would definitely deploy heavy troops on the breakthrough route he had planned.

So he chose to stick to the idea of ​​waiting for aid. After making up his mind, Zuo Jian was a man for a long time and immediately braved artillery fire to concentrate the remaining troops to seize a mountain to seize a commanding height in order to stick to waiting for aid.

Zuo Masajiu, who didn't know that his gang leader had already been unable to protect himself, believed that as long as the gang leader found that he had interrupted contact with him, he would send reinforcements to support him. As long as the main force of the gang completed the turn, he still had hope of rescuing the situation.

It’s a pity that his wishful thinking was very good, but Yang Zhen did not give him any hope. When he concentrated his remaining troops to launch a fierce attack on the highest surrounding Miaolingzi Mountain, he was not only hit by a fierce attack from mortar fire, but also received heavy machine gun fire on the mountain.

In the face of the dense machine gun firepower and the overwhelming rain of grenades, the first brigade paid nearly a hundred casualties with just one charge, but was driven back without even capturing the mountainside. The number of machine guns of the opponent almost made Zuo Jiankueren fall off his chin.

As a graduate of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, he could tell from the gunfire that at least twenty light and heavy machine guns were concentrated on the hill in front of him. Although this hill is the highest hill around, it is not large in scale and can only put down the forces of two companies at most.

Since graduating from the non-commissioned officer school, he has been a man in the left side of the 8th Division for a long time. Since the 8th Division was transferred to mainland China, he has been in the Kwantung Army sequence and has not participated in the official battle of the civil war. However, it does not mean that he has not had contact with the Chinese army.

As the squadron leader, he participated in the Battle of Conquering Rehe and fought with the Central Army along the Great Wall. In his impression, all the Chinese army was poorly equipped and far from being the opponent of the well-equipped Japanese Imperial Army. The empire conquering China was only a matter of time.

The equipment of the so-called most elite Central Army in China was extremely inferior, not to mention the small number of artillery soldiers, but not enough machine guns. Since the equipment of the Chinese government army was so poor, let alone a guerrilla-like unit? And he had never seen that unit have such a large number of machine guns.

In the past, there were so many casualties, Zuo Jian was a major. However, he really couldn't stand the blow. The shelling that lasted only a few minutes just now caused nearly half of his first brigade to suffer.

In other words, his first brigade, in the bombardment just now, had a total of more than one squadrons bombarded and became a god. Now that he can concentrate a squadron to launch an attack, it is the limit that he can use troops at hand.

But according to this casualty ratio, even if you can seize the current mountain, where can there be someone defending it?

Looking at the troops that were killed again, the bodies of Japanese soldiers who were lying down on the hillside and the wounded men who were groaning and unable to retreat, Zuo Jian knew that he had no way out. Unless he could break through with the remaining troops, he would either die gloriously here, or wait to go back to the military court or be ordered to apologize.

Zuo Masaki, who didn't want to go back to seduce the stomach, made a fuss, took off all his clothes, raised his saber, and concentrated all the Japanese soldiers who could still pick up guns, and launched a pig-like attack on Miaolingzishan.
