Chapter 35: A Thousand Miles Return (3)
Jiangjiaao is a village that is too small to be even smaller. This remote mountain village with less than twenty households cannot be found on a slightly larger scale map.
Although the location is inconspicuous, the location is very important at this time. As long as the Japanese army passes through Jiangjiaao, they can first directly attack the logistics departments and artillery positions of the Chinese defenders located at the foot of Fujinshan Mountain, and then they can attack any peak of Fujinshan Mountain from the back of the Fujinshan defense line. In this internal and external attack, even Cheng Jiaji himself would not think that the troops placed on the top of Fujinshan Mountain could continue to defend. If they could not defend, they would have to collapse on the entire line and be defeated like a mountain!
In a word, the Japanese army broke into the hinterland of the Chinese army after passing Jiangjiaao. In this way, the troops under Cheng Jiaji's command were difficult to recover and defeat were decided.
"Ma Sanbao, you will be able to force the 37th war defense artillery with most of the guard battalions and the communication battalions. You must arrive at Jiangjiaao within three hours. Guardian platoons, 4th cavalry battalion, cavalry communication company, and engineer battalion's first and second platoons, please take care of them, pull the horses up, and follow me to "fly" to Jiangjiaao." Cheng Jiaji gave an order to Ma Sanbao first, and before Ma Sanbao could answer, he pulled the reins and pulled the horse three times in a row. The big white horse under his seat rushed out of the marching queue and rushed towards Jiangjiaao. (In order to practice riding skills, Cheng Jiaji was thrown away by horses many times when he was in Xuchang. He took it out and showed it, and it was still done!)
After leaving Chengjia, nearly 300 knights followed closely with the horses like tigers and dragons. The only thing that was a bit flawed was that many people behind the team had poor riding skills, and they rode on the horses and swayed straight. They were the soldiers of the engineer platoon.
Among them, there were more than a dozen knights of ingenious shapes and colors following Cheng Jiaji. Ma Sanbao originally wanted to stop Cheng Jiaji's risky behavior, but when he saw these dozen knights who appeared in the same dress as ordinary soldiers, Ma Sanbao smiled relievedly. He knew the one-armed leader in this team, knew his ability, and vaguely understood what the other party was doing. Ma Sanbao believed that with their guard, his sixth young master would not be in any major danger.
Cheng Jiaji did not say a word of mobilization to the soldiers of the two companies, but his leading by example, giving the brothers of the two companies the courage to be more effective than mobilizing for more than ten minutes. The masters were willing to die. What is the fate of our fighting man?
Cheng Jiaji's selfless behavior seemed brave and fearless, but in fact he knew in his heart that it was forced out. Thousands of infantry soldiers were carrying cannons, and they were moving at a speed that they wanted to go there even if they wanted to go there.
If the Japanese army first came to Jiangjiaao and occupied the favorable terrain, it would be almost impossible to defeat the Japanese again with the little force in his hands. Under this situation, leading a cavalry to block the Japanese army first became the best choice at present. However, not everyone can take this cavalry that is destined to fight the Japanese army to death. In order to ensure that the Japanese could be blocked outside Jiangjiaao, Cheng Jiaji had to take risks. What's more, Cheng Jiaji felt that he was not very risky under the protection of the "pornographic" people.
"Zai Tengjun, how far is it from Jiangjiaao?" Miyamaki Utsuto, the staff member of the Japanese 13th Division, subconsciously touched Rendan's beard, who had been trimmed very well, and asked anxiously to his deputy. He could not blame the senior staff member of the 13th Division, who was most admired by the division commander, for being unable to hold back. The situation was now unhappy. The division commander and Chief of Staff Colonel Yoshihara Yuki explained it very clearly that the detour troops he commanded were required to occupy Jiangjiaao for three and a half hours, otherwise military law would be carried out. But now his troops have been set off for more than two hours and are still moving outside the mountainous area. If the timely occupation of Jiangjiaao and the failure of the operation, he would die first. As a soldier, Miyamaki Utsuto was not afraid of death, but he would never want to die on the charge of missing a fighter.
"Miyagi Nakazusa, look at the map. After driving in a few miles, we can enter the Fujin Mountain Mountains. But by that time the road conditions will become worse!" As soon as he raised the map and looked carefully, a bullet that was shot from there was nowhere to be heard, and this six-point mm-caliber 38-capped bullet passed through the map and hit Zaiteng's eyebrows. The shot in the eyebrows did not even have a chance to snort, so he immediately got the account. At the same time as him, he was killed by a Chinese army sniper, and there were several other Japanese officers and soldiers who had exposed their target due to excessive movements.
"Retaliation!" With the order of the shame and anger of Miyagi Saku, the Japanese machine gun fired in the car first, and then the chariots also launched aimless shelling around, and the Japanese convoys, which were more than one kilometer long, suddenly became a mess.
"The Japanese have been beaten to the point of being beaten and become cautious. Let's go and let them mess around here. The longer they toss, the better!" On a hillside not far from the Japanese convoy, Tu San pointed at the Japanese convoy at the foot of the mountain and said to his subordinates with one arm. At this time, he and his subordinates were holding the 38th hood in their hands.
After Tu San said this, he took the men who mocked Feng and took advantage of the opportunity that the Japanese were fighting for fun up and down the mountain, and slipped down the hillside and jumped onto the war horse, running wildly towards the road ahead.
After a short while shooting without any results, wasting a lot of ammunition, the Japanese began to move forward again.
A mile away, the Japanese army suffered a second fire strike, and five more Japanese devils were killed in an instant. But at this moment, Miyagi obviously realized the intention of the Chinese army to do so. The Japanese army used the machine guns on the car to shoot cold guns at the direction of their convoys, and at the same time, the Japanese convoy not only stopped, but accelerated through.
Two Mountain Road, a dangerous place two miles outside the entrance of Jiangjiaao Village. As the name suggests, here passes through a corridor between two small hills. This corridor is 300 meters long and is also the most dangerous place with the terrain in Jiangjiaao. After passing the two Mountain Road, you will enter the Fujin Mountain area.
"Quick! Build all the mines brought by me, install the leads, and hang the strings." Cheng Jiaji had already arrived here with his troops, and he was nervously commanding the troops to set up a mine array.
Behind Cheng Jiaji, two platoons of communication cavalry who had just completed the simple fortification construction task were running backwards, and they were going to go back to receive infantry. After all, Cheng Jiaji was not so crazy that he had to use communication cavalry as infantry envoys. Not to mention the expense of raising a cavalry to raise at least four infantry. Even if he was desperate to get the communication cavalry off his horse, the main job of using these daily tasks was to check the line and send the communication cavalry to fight the blocking war. This major was not right, and the result was definitely not even as good as ordinary infantry. Instead of doing this, it would be better to use the communication cavalry to connect more elite guard battalions before the Japanese army captured this place. Although this kind of fighting style is a bit tactical, it is undoubtedly the wisest choice Cheng Jiaji can make.
"Strike." After Nakasa Miyagi made the decision to ignore the harassment and sluggish attacks by the Chinese army, the troops quickly drove to the Liangshan Road.
Although Miyagi Nakasa did not find any signs of Chinese military activity here, from the previous harassment and attacks by the Chinese army on their own troops, Miyagi determined that in such a dangerous place, the Chinese army would not be able to defend without troops. Because the terrain of the two mountain roads is relatively narrow, it is not conducive to chariot operations. The most serious thing is that as long as one or two chariots are destroyed, the entire mountain road will be blocked. If this is true, it will be backfired.
Based on this kind of worry, Miyagi Nakasa, who had war defense artillery and heavy mines, made a decision that was later considered wrong. He first attacked with infantry to destroy the opponent's mines and test the opponent's firepower ratio. As long as the opponent did not throw in the artillery, he would directly attack with a tank.
As it turns out, Miyagi Saku's excessive caution gave the other party a crucial time.
As the Japanese Second Front Army Command sent the investigation and review team to report it submitted to the upper level after this battle, the 13th Division, after a series of setbacks, had seriously deformed its combat operations. The 13th Division, which had lost its spirit of adventure, had actually become a third-rate European colonial army.
"Boom, boom,..." The Japanese vanguards stepped on the landmines that the Chinese army had just buried.
"Forward! Forward!" Miyagi Zuo cherishes the rare chariots, but he doesn't care much about the lives of soldiers. He stopped the engineer squad from going forward to clear mines, and repeatedly urged the Japanese vanguards to continue rushing towards the mine formation. In Miyagi's mind, it is very cost-effective to exchange human lives for time. He doesn't believe that the Chinese army can bury the roads in the mountains of hundreds of meters, and even if he uses people to go, he will have to make a way.
The very inhumane tactic of Miyagi Saku, the actual combat effect is very good.
Of course, Cheng Jiaji could not have so many mines in his hands to fill the corridor in the mountain. In fact, he buried less than forty mines in this mountain road. The Japanese army used artillery to use artillery to attack from a distance and people nearby. The mines of the Chinese army were detonated in a short while. The Japanese army's vanguards were killed and injured by more than 30 people because of their loose formations. This number of injuries and deaths was simply a drop in the bucket for the Japanese army with thousands of troops.
"Beat, beat these Japanese devils to the East after death, and his mother couldn't recognize them!" To be honest, Cheng Jiaji's language skills in the pre-war mobilization were indeed not very good. It was because he picked up an M18 and fired at the Japanese army in front of him without hesitation to inspire morale.
The Japanese army launched the first attack on the Chinese army defending was very fierce. Miyagi Nakasa sent one and a half squadrons to a squadron at one time.
Under Cheng Jiaji's personal supervision, the officers and soldiers of the cavalry company and the guard platoon fought bravely under the muzzle of the Japanese chariots. In addition, the Chinese army occupied favorable terrain, and the Japanese army, which was greatly restricted by the terrain, could not expand their formation. Under the fierce attack of the guard platoon equipped with automatic firearms, the Japanese army rushed forward and fell to the ground one after another. The first attack of the Japanese army was soon defeated.
"Charge attack." It is understood that the opponent's firepower is very strong. It is impossible to break through the Chinese army's blockade in a short period of time by relying on infantry shock alone. Without discovering that the Chinese army had any artillery fire to bet on the battle, Sato Miyagi finally decided to throw himself into the chariot troops. Now he can only count on the chariot troops to quickly break through the opponent's defense line.
"Master's seat! Lying down!" A team member beside Cheng Jiaji who was mocking Feng, now pressing Cheng Jiaji to the ground when he shouted this sentence.
Without even enough reaction, Cheng Jiaji was first pressed to the ground, and then a loud explosion rang beside him. Cheng Jiaji only felt a pain in his upper body, dizzy in his head, and he lost consciousness.
When Cheng Jiaji was rescued, he found that he had been carried by Tu San and a few ridiculed Feng to the entrance of Jiangjiaao's village. Obviously, these were thoughts of sending them to a safe place.
"Let me go, I won't leave!" Cheng Jiaji said in a weak tone but resolute tone. The severe pain from his shoulder made him soberly realize that he was really lucky this time, and he was not too lightly injured.
"Master! Let's talk about it first!" Tu San made up his mind and must send Cheng Jiaji back to the division headquarters first. The rest is Chief of Staff Qian and others. If Cheng Jiaji continues to get entangled, Tu San, who is responsible, doesn't mind knocking his commander unconscious and carrying it away.
"Let me down first! Your hand touched my wound!" Cheng Jiaji knew from Tu San's eyes that he would not be convinced by his words.
After all, he was the highest commander of the 100th Independent Division, and Tu San was not willing to disobey him too much. He had to signal his two brothers to put him down.
"Is that brother who pushed me away still alive?" Cheng Jiaji asked Tu San and others as soon as he was put down, and reached out to his armed belt hanging on his waist. There was a short sword given to him by the Supreme Commander when he was in Wuhan.
Tu San and others heard Cheng Jiaji ask this, but they all didn't say anything.
With only a few of them feeling a little sad, Cheng Jiaji knew that his life-savior was probably already dying for his country.
"No matter who there are people in his family, as long as I, Cheng Jiaji, can still take a breath, I will definitely be responsible for his family to the end! Don't persuade me, I won't leave." When Cheng Jiaji said this in the second half, the sword peak of the "Soldier Soul" short sword was already pressed against his lower abdomen.
Just as Tu San and others were trying to find a mechanism to subdue Cheng Jiaji, the communication cavalry carried half of the company's guard company soldiers to the front of them. The front of the team was Ma Sanbao, who looked impatient.
