Chapter 35: The Great Return of a Thousand Miles (7)
At 11:00 a.m. on September 20, the main peak of Fujin Mountain, which was occupied by the Japanese army after the Chinese army was evacuated.
"His division commander, Colonel Tian Kangjun, commanding the front-line troops, reported that his troops were suddenly attacked by the cavalry of the Chinese army on the edge of the plains and the Fujin Mountains. After fierce fighting, the cavalry of the Chinese army had been repelled, but Colonel Tian Kangjun's 104th Regiment also lost the strength of about two squadrons. Colonel Tian Kangjun asked the division headquarters for the next direction of action." Colonel Yoshihara Ju said in a low voice to Lieutenant General Ogisu Rishi who was immersed in the exciting battle traces left by nearly a month of bloody battle on the main peak battlefield.
"Let General Yamamoto command all the troops of his brigade to advance to the plains, and order Yamamoto to divide his troops into two groups in the unit of the corps, so as to drive all the Chinese troops into the mountainous areas. But in the specific implementation of this order, let Major General Yamamoto do his best to give the Chinese army the impression that our army wants to intercept them on the plains and eliminate them." Hearing the military situation reported by the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Ogisu, who was facing away from Colonel Yoshihara, was sly on a main peak, who had been stained with blood smoke into red, black and white, and made the following decision without looking back.
"His division commander, Colonel Furong Zhenping called and said that the troops and all military vehicles he had sent were advancing towards the mall, and Colonel Furong had also brought the main force of the regiment into the southwest mountainous area of Shang County." A chief staff member of the division headquarters hurriedly came from the radio direction and reported to the division commander of the latest advancement of the 63rd Regiment.
"Very good! When the 10th Division's car arrives, Yoshihara Jun, I order you to command the 116th Regiment and the 63rd Regiment to rush to Jingfu as the reinforcement force of Colonel Furong Zhenping. The front army has agreed to my combat plan. The 63rd Regiment and the 116th Regiment will temporarily form a combat detachment for you to command yourself to be responsible for blocking the way forward of this Chinese army. If this cannot be wiped out, the 13th Division will have no military reputation. If that is the case, as the division commander.
I will submit my resignation to the base camp. I will ask you everything for you!" Lieutenant General Ogisu's tone was able to keep calm when he started saying this. The more he spoke, the more excited he became. Especially when he wanted to wipe out the Chinese army, he was already gritting his teeth. As for the kindness that was originally hung on his face by the lieutenant general, he had long been thrown out of the sky. Even when he was finally saying the words he asked, he was full of murderous intent.
"Please rest assured that if the subordinate commander is unable to completely wipe out this Chinese army because of his dereliction of duty, the subordinate commander will apologize to the emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom." Colonel Yoshihara, who has served in the lieutenant general of Ogisu for many years, would not understand what his commander meant. If this battle fails again, he will resign as the commander of the division. As the commander of the front line, there is no other way out except to separatist. Instead of letting the division commander say it, it would be better not to say it himself.
"Kun Yoshihara, if you can completely wipe out the 100th Independent Division of the Chinese Army and bring their military flag back to wash away the humiliation the Imperial Army suffered in Taierzhuang, I will recommend to the commander of the front army to appoint you as the commander of the 26th Brigade." Lieutenant General Ogisu knew that he would give a sweet date after a slap. Besides, Colonel Yoshihara really wanted to seize the flag of the 100th Independent Division of the Chinese Army. Lieutenant General believed that the military headquarters, which suffered great shame in the incident of the military flags of the two regiments in the Battle of Taierzhuang, would never be stingy when rewarding merits.
"I swear to the Emperor of Heaven! I must live up to your entrustion and bring you the flag of the 100th Independent Division of the Chinese Army." Colonel Yoshihara was so excited that his eyes were red and shouted.
Lieutenant General Ogisuke still knows the young and powerful officer of his subordinates very well. For Yoshihara, who has been serving as a staff officer since graduating from the Non-Commissioner Military Academy, no reward can make him more excited than being transferred to the captain of the troops. What's more, the Colonel Chief of Staff, who is nice in name but is actually just the assistant of the division commander. The promotion to the Major General Brigade with great power is not just a level of promotion, but it is simply a step to reach the top. This huge temptation is irresistible to Colonel Yoshihara, who is determined to become a "famous general" like Isotani Ryosuke and Itagaki Seishiro.
When the Japanese were dispatching troops to remnants, trying to kill all the troops commanded by Cheng Jiaji.
The main force of the Chinese army retreated from the Fujin Mountain Mountain area, and under the command of Qian Shen, all entered the mountainous area southwest of the mall. A team composed of seven or eight thousand infantrymen was driving towards the depths of the mountains little by little.
It was 4:00 p.m. on the same day.
"Seat. There is a large bandit village in front of me, and it is blocked by the dangerous place, and the troops cannot get through." Yuan Shizhong, who was responsible for making the way for the army, was riding a black Mongolian horse with sweat on his head, and galloping to the middle section of the marching line to coordinate the movement of the troops to coordinate the movement of the troops. Qian Shen said anxiously.
"How big is this village? What is the terrain? How many bandits are there? How are the equipment?" Qian Shen asked one after another. Obviously, Qian Shen attached great importance to this situation.
"The village was filled with soil from the tree strips, which was quite large. There were at least four or five hundred bandits inside, and opium was planted around the surrounding area. This bandit's equipment was quite reasonable. The rifles were basically made in Hanyang. Many of them had very standard postures for holding guns, as if they had received regular military training." If the situation was not so serious, Yuan Shizhong would not have traveled in person.
"Qian Shenzuo must be Ji Dahuzi and his people. This group of people has been wandering in the mountainous areas of this area for more than ten years, and there is no fixed copycat. They mainly make a living by planting opium. Ji Dahuzi was originally a regiment commander of the local troops in Henan back then. After being defeated by the Northern Expedition Army, he came to this area to get married." A section chief named You, who was a bitch-eyed person who served as a consultant for the local "people's sentiment", smiled charmingly at Qian Shen while introducing the basic situation of this bandit.
"Give them dozens of guns and some bullets, please give them a way out and let us go." What everyone unexpected was that Qian Shen, who had always been decisive in killing, would bow his head to the group of bandits and surrender.
"Old Qian, a group of little thieves, Isn't it all solved when they are on fire? Are we regular soldiers so humble?" The only one who dared to shout Lao Qian at Qian Shen casually in the entire 100th Independent Division and even the 18th Army was Wen Songyuan, who had "picked" Qian Shen from the wounded hospital.
"Chief Cultural and Tourism Commander, if they can fire this bandits and shoot the black guns of our troops in the mountains, it will be troublesome. The most worrying thing is that if we make enemies with the bandits, you dare to guarantee that they will not lead the way for the Japanese. On the other hand, if we have these people as a witness, we can take less detours in this mountains. We may even let them help our army to delay the Japanese chasing behind." Qian Shen was patient enough with Wen Songyuan. If someone else had changed to him, he would not be too lazy to say so much nonsense.
"Old Qian, you are always right! No wonder Boss Cheng told me two days ago that "picking up" you from the wounded soldiers' hospital is the most cost-effective transaction for me, Lao Wen." Wen Songyuan was shameless and beat Qian Shen with a shameless attitude. That means that no matter how good you can, it is not that I "picked up" your old money.
"You! No matter how big the official is, you are a gangster at heart!" Qian Shen always had no choice but to deal with this scoundrel. Only in front of this shy and unhappy Wen Songyuan, Qian Shen's thousand-year-old ice occasionally thawed.
Since the commander set the order, Yuan Shizhong accompanied the clerk from the county government to the mountain. The bandits in the surrounding area looked at the endless sea of soldiers and generals at the foot of the mountain. In fact, from the bandit leader Ji Dahuzi to the minion, he was very panicked, afraid that this passing army would kill his group of people.
It was not until Yuan Shizhong gave a polite approach to the section chief of the county government that the bandits breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Dahuzi was a regiment commander who had seen the world at that time. He had some brains, and he did not speak loudly like those natives who were watching the sky. Not only did he claim to take Yuan Shizhong and bring fifty rifles, two light machine guns and three thousand bullets, but he also brought dozens of people at the foot of the mountain to welcome the commander of the central army to the mountain to drink.
Qian Shen and others at the foot of the mountain knew in their hearts that Ji Dahuzi was afraid that his troops would solve them when they passed by and asked for "hostages" to come. But in the face of "heavy" love, Qian Shen and Wen Songyuan had to take twenty or thirty guards with submachine guns up the mountain.
Qian Shen didn't move much in the world, and he couldn't talk much about Ji Dahu. However, Wen Songyuan, who was a gangster at home, and Ji Dahuzi said that he had a fierce fight.
As a result, after a meal, Ji Dahuzi not only agreed to send twenty guides to Wen Songyuan, but also assured the two commanders of the central soldiers that when the Japanese pass by, they will definitely teach them a lesson like the Japanese when they have the chance.
Wen Songyuan was not vague. He immediately took out a batch of weapons from his brigade and gave them to Ji Dahuzi. Not to mention the thirty rifles and a light machine gun, he also gave a heavy machine gun with a problem with the gun frame to Ji Dahuzi. Although this heavy machine gun is a little bad, Ji Dahuzi has never seen such heavy firepower as heavy machine guns for so many years. If the gun frame is broken, it is good to use it to guard the village.
Since he had received such a heavy beard from Ji Dahu, the two guards of Qian Shen and Wen Songyuan who went down the mountain carried a lot of mountain goods and opium. Among these gifts, there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. This girl is said to be the lady of a wealthy family in the mall. She was tied up with tickets by Ji Dahu. Perhaps because of the war, the master's family had not come to redeem for many days and was about to tore it out in the past few days. Qian Shen and the others were going there, and there was really nothing to show off on the mountain. Ji Dahu was smart and would turn it into treasure, so he gave the little girl to Qian Shen as a girl.
With Qian Shen's personality, it was unlikely that he would accept such a gift, but it was difficult to refute Ji Dahu's face, and secondly, he didn't want to see such a cute little girl die in his life. He broke the example of Wen Songyuan teasing him on the spot and accepting the gift with shameless face.
Qian Shen returned to the foot of the mountain and asked someone to send a newspaper to Cheng Jiaji to report the negotiations with Ji Dahuzi, and asked the section chief of the county government to send the little girl home. After working for a while, he went to the marching tent to rest.
Because Qian Shen and others established a good relationship with Ji Dahuzi, all the Chinese troops retreated from Fujin Mountain smoothly passed through the territory controlled by Ji Dahuzi. When Cheng Jiaji, the rear guard, passed here, sent a special message to Ji Dahuzi to the war zone for requesting merit. As a result, the war zone issued the name of a guerrilla detachment to Ji Tianhai's troops. After more than ten years of separation from the army, Ji Dahuzi finally became an official again. He was very excited and patted his chest to ensure that the Japanese would not be able to live in peace when they were crossing the mountainous areas.
Ji Dahuzi did not make any mistakes. Within half a day after Cheng Jiaji's troops passed by, the Japanese brigade drove over in a mighty manner.
The Japanese were in this mountainous area and had no choice but to compete with the troops of the Independent 100 Division. As soon as they entered the mountainous area, the Japanese army was often attacked by cold guns. The traps of the mountainous people and Ji Tianhai's troops on the mountain to deal with wild beasts were also very rewarding Japanese soldiers.
After suffering a lot, even a small team of Japanese devils were wiped out. The Lieutenant General Ogisu was furious and furious, but he had no way to use these elusive mountain people. In addition, the Japanese army was not familiar with the terrain of this area and the maps they used were very simple, and from time to time, they would stage "mistakes" in the mountains.
Various reasons have been added to the inclusion of the Japanese 13th Division, which caused the footsteps of the Japanese army to be tripped for a whole day in this mountainous area.
The originally tight net of heaven and earth on the Lieutenant General of Ogisu was also staggered by the main force of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, and the gap was staggered because the main force of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army was delayed by the precious time of the day. And the strong irony caused all this to be harassing the Japanese army by hundreds of local "bandits".
After two days of hard advance in the mountainous area, at 2 noon on September 22, the vanguard of the Independent 100th Division, led by Yuan Shizhong, finally arrived at Xiaojiadian, thirty miles away from Baishan Pass. Before leaving Baishan Pass was a small plain. After passing this small plain with a radius of twenty or thirty miles, you will reach the "Jingfu" city.
