    Chapter 73 Things can happen again and again

    Twenty or thirty miles ahead after passing Hongshilizi, the terrain turned flat, with mostly gentle hills on both sides and dense pine forests. There was no danger to defend. Shan Hu and Zheng Yong were full of doubts. What is the commander doing?  With just such a small number of people, are you crazy for trying to fight the main Japanese army?

    Tang Qiuli had his own ideas. The Japs were coming in a hurry, and the cavalry in front did not send back any news. The Japs commander was not a fool. He should have realized that something was wrong and would definitely step up his guard. The dangerous areas along the way must be the focus of precautions.  The danger of setting up an ambush for the troops can be imagined, so he left Hongshilizi and headed in the direction of the Japanese, looking for suitable battlefields along the way. He did not want to miss any opportunity to attack the Japanese.

    According to the routine, the army has fought two battles in a row. As the saying goes, "one rush, then another, then three, and three are exhausted." It is safest to break away from the battle and repair, but Tang Qiuli wanted to break the routine. According to his words, "Routine"  It should be broken, and authority is meant to be defeated." He wanted to beat the Japanese three times in one day in unexpected places. This was quite bold, but most people were not so arrogant!

    Arrogance has the capital of arrogance. The two battles fought by the army were both ambush battles and clever battles. Their own strength was not consumed. What's more, the current morale is strong. It would be a pity not to fight the Japanese anymore. The main force and supplies  , the equipment has been withdrawn, I am using my hands and feet lightly, and all my time and the Japanese are wasted.

    He also had a deeper consideration, which was to attract the Japs' attention to the opposite direction of the main force's retreat and gain a relatively stable environment for the troops to reorganize. Otherwise, the Japs, who were furious, would suffer such a big loss.  Can you give up and give up?  Are you not allowed to bite like a mad dog in the nearby area?  The common people were going to suffer again, and he didn't want the tragedy at Wei's Home Shop to happen again!  It's best to draw the Japs' attention deep into the mountains and forests.

    While the troops were advancing rapidly, they contacted the latent post monitoring the Japs. When they learned that the Japs' leading troops were less than ten miles away from them, he led the troops off the road and into the dense forest on the side.

    There is an open land in front of it, and the highlands on both sides are not even hills, at most they are mounds. But Tang Qiuli chose this ambush position. Mountain tigers are not that big of a deal. Anyway, everything Xiaoqiu did was right.  .

    But Zheng Yong is different. He is an old man who has been beaten repeatedly on the battlefield. He can see the problem at a glance. Zheng Yong does not dare to show any disrespect to this commander who is more than ten years younger than him. His commanding ability and his command of the battlefield are not the same.  His control is there! Not everyone can fight in the first two battles.

    Therefore, he carefully reminded Tang Qiuli, "Commander, this terrain is difficult to defend and easy to attack. It is more conducive for the attacking troops to deploy heavy firepower, which is extremely detrimental to the defenders. Should you consider changing the location?" The words were euphemistic, but the meaning was clear.  , it would be too much to ambush here!

    Tang Qiuli smiled secretly, "Who said we have to defend here?" Facing Zheng Yong's puzzled gaze, he ordered: "The deployment is as follows, infantry squadron, the frontline is hidden, the light and heavy machine guns have finished one magazine, and the rifles  Throw three grenades in hand and must withdraw from the battle; the mortar unit should set up a position behind the infantry squadron, lined up in the shape of "one". After the infantry has fired, when the infantry evacuates the battlefield, it will cover the infantry squadron's withdrawal from the battle. Each gun is only allowed  Fire three artillery shells, and then immediately withdraw from the battle and move deep into the dense forest. No troops are allowed to fight."

    After arranging things, he told Zheng Yong and the infantry squadron leader that we adopted the tactic of an eagle grabbing a chicken in its mouth. We would take one bite and leave. By the time the Japanese reacted, we would have already gone into the forest. We must be careful.  Don't be too lazy to fight, the enemy's reaction speed is not slow!

    Tang Qiuli, who came from a later generation, had long been familiar with the guerrilla tactics of great men. He wanted to use mortars to fight guerrillas. After hearing the commander's explanation, the two of them suddenly realized that Le Dian Dian'er's arrangement was gone.

    The Japanese commander, Tanaka, was careful along the way. On the radio, Okazaki told him that he was ambushed in a dangerous area. The commander must pay attention. Therefore, every time the troops go to dangerous areas, they must bombard them with artillery.  , and then sent a small force to search. After confirming safety, the large force passed quickly, but the marching speed was too slow.

    Originally, according to Tanaka's idea, he had a field regiment with heavy troops, equipped with tanks and field artillery, which could drive straight in and rescue quickly, but Okazaki's experience reminded him that Okazaki-kun's military strength and firepower are not much weaker than his own, and now he is still being used.  He was beaten to a bloody head and screamed for help. How many people must be in the squadron surrounding him?  It's better to be careful.

    What is the job of a cavalry brigade?  There is no news about "Baga", which is very disgusting.

    I was on tenterhooks along the way, but nothing happened!  We are finally getting close to the target. After crossing the flat road in front of us, we can meet up with Okazaki-kun. Tanaka breathed a sigh of relief. Not only did he have this idea, but the soldiers under him also had this idea. They walked up this road together.  TongzheTeng, someone who climbed high and climbed, then hurried on again, grabbing toads in his trouser pockets (in Northeastern dialect, it means sweating), as tired as a bear. The mountain roads in Manchuria are really not made by humans. You are right, the Chinese  This ground is not where you beasts should have come!

    The Japanese marching team has changed from full alert to normal marching state. The gun in hand is also on the shoulder. This section of the road is very safe!

    Who says that a safe road section is safe?

    In the pine forest on one side of the mountain road, on the deserted snow, a dense rain of bullets suddenly burst out. It was a salvo of hundreds of light and heavy machine guns. Like red-hot iron bars passing through butter, the Japanese fell down one after another.  , some were hit by heavy machine guns and flew backwards. The marching order was immediately disrupted. The Japanese who were not dead immediately fell down on the spot. Their reaction speed was quite fast. Is it safe to lie down?  not necessarily!

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how many grenades were smashed down again, and some even exploded in the air, with roaring shrapnel flying in all directions. Some of the unlucky Japanese were hit by several grenades, and their bones were gone at that time, reduced to their molecular state.

    After the grenade passed, the gunshots stopped. Just as the Japs were about to get up from the ground, a strange roar sounded in the sky. The faces of experienced Japs veterans turned pale. It was the sound of countless mortar shells hitting their heads. Immediately on the mountain road  Shrouded in the thick smoke of the violent explosion, hundreds of mortar shells were evenly taken care of from the beginning to the end of the Japanese team. Tang Qiuli's first-line platoon tactics were very effective, covering the entire Japanese marching formation.  Within the range of fire coverage, the Japanese who had just organized themselves became chaotic again. Hurry and hide, it is important to save your life. The Chinese artillery fire is too fierce. That thing is unreasonable!

    The little Japs woke up. The imperial army also had artillery and machine guns. Quickly fight back. The Japs set up the cannons and fired their guns. There was a burst of bombardment.

    Tang Qiuli led his troops and stood on a hilltop in the distance and looked back. The ambush site just now was completely enveloped by the Japanese firepower. There were rumbles of artillery, clouds of smoke, flashes of fire, and explosions everywhere.

    The soldiers were sticking their tongues out, so suspenseful. If they had been greedy just now and wanted to take advantage, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to withdraw now. The firepower of the little devils is stronger than ours, and the large-caliber field artillery is more powerful than mortars.  Much more powerful!

    Zheng Yong rubbed his hands in excitement, it was an eye-opener!  Can an artillery battle still be fought like this?  It's so satisfying to take advantage of this. I originally wanted to grab a piece of meat, but I didn't expect that I even removed the back bone. I insist on getting a hugely profitable deal!

    Tang Qiuli looked at Zheng Yong who was so excited that he was running around and thought it was quite interesting. Where did he go? He told Zheng Yong that artillery can also have new tactics. In the future, we will be equipped with mountain artillery and field artillery. You guys  The role of the artillery brigade will be greater. After careful consideration, Zheng Yong is convinced. By following this little commander, he will make progress and learn new things at any time.

    In this battle, the key is to grasp the time, and the suddenness of the firepower comes second. To withdraw from the battle before the Japanese attack back, Zheng Yong completely understood why the commander only allowed three rounds of artillery shells to be fired. He accepted it, and the master is  Master that!

    "The troops have gone far away and can still hear the rumble of artillery. Let the little devils do what they want!"

    Here, after a burst of shelling and gunfire, the opponent's position was about to be turned over. Tanaka commanded his sword in one fell swoop, "Give me the murderous intention!" The Japanese rushed up like a swarm, releasing shell casings, charred soil, and toppled bodies.  The pine tree doesn¡¯t even have any hair on it!  "Honey?" Tanaka was so angry. He received a nasty beating and lost the lives of six to seven hundred soldiers. He didn't even know who his opponent was. He was a coward!  Shame on you!  Anyway, I was feeling all kinds of things, and I had nowhere to vent my anger. I pointed my command knife at a pine tree and chopped it at random. The Japanese soldiers around me looked at each other. Isn¡¯t the commander of the unit going crazy?

    At about three o'clock in the middle of the night, Tang Qiuli led his troops to meet up with Liu Tiehan, Feng Jiwu, and Qiuquan. These people were all awake and were waiting anxiously for them. When they saw that they had returned safely, they all put down their bags and took Lao Gao with them.  Heartbroken, everyone surrounded Tang Qiuli and entered the headquarters.

    When he arrived at the house, Tang Qiuli simply ate something and then fell on the hot stove. He left the army to the chief of staff and the others. After a day and a night, he was exhausted, and his tired eyelids kept fighting.  , leaving the excited Zheng Yong, telling the story of the battle vividly and emotionally. Everyone was amazed and applauded. Listening to everyone's excited talk, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in a hazy state.

    How could the remaining commanders at all levels sleep? They fought three battles and three victories in one day, with more than 2,400 troops, and at a small cost, more than 6,000 Japanese and puppet troops were eliminated, and countless materials and ammunition were seized.  Such a huge victory has never been seen on the surface of Guandong. Commander, is it possible that Sun Wu was reincarnated and Zhuge was reborn?  At a young age, he was unparalleled in his literary and military skills.

    If we say that when the army was first raised, many veterans recognized Tang Qiuli's status as the founder. Now through continuous victories, Tang Qiuli has firmly established his unrivaled status in this army.Everyone was lamenting and talking about his status and absolute authority, but the protagonist of our topic, with the naivety of a big child, fell asleep sweetly, dreaming of meeting Duke Zhou!

    The sound of the soldiers practicing woke Tang Qiuli up from his sweet sleep. When he opened his eyes, the sun was shining brightly outside, and a few rays of sunlight shone through the window paper into the room. The room was filled with a warm orange-red color and a lazy atmosphere.  I don't want to leave the warm kang, and I can't get up even if I don't want to. I'm hungry, and my stomach is growling.

    Tang Qiuli raised his head and saw a square table on the ground. Battelle looked at him with big black eyes. Seeing that he was awake, he came over and said, "Brother, are you awake? Are you hungry?" In the whole army, he was the only one who always took care of Tang Qiu.  Li called him eldest brother and refused to change his tune no matter what. Everyone else, including Shan Hu, called him commander. There was no other way. This Mongolian was so stubborn that no one could stop him, so everyone just let him go.  Now, according to Battle, he is such a relative in the world. Calling the commander seems alienating, and the brotherhood has faded. Tang Qiuli loves this younger brother from the bottom of his heart and is happy to be called him like this. This is very rare in the army.  The only one!

    While Tang Qiuli was washing up, Battelle was busy going out. After a while, he came in with a big plate. Tang Qiuli looked at it, wow, his saliva started flowing down. There was a big bowl of yellow and sticky food.  Millet porridge, a few exquisite corn flour steamed buns, a few pickles, and a plate of sauced roe deer meat that he especially liked. He had a great appetite and wolfed it down.

    Seeing that he was eating happily, Battle said proudly from the side: "Brother, I specially asked the landlady for the sauced roe deer meat. I know you are proud of it. Doesn't it taste good?" Tang Qiuli stuffed his mouth with food.  Na Dao spoke with great skill and just nodded repeatedly. Seeing his elder brother like this, Battle smiled with satisfaction.

    Tang Qiuli suddenly remembered something, swallowed a mouthful of meat, and asked: "Brother, do you insist on this meat?" Battelle quickly shook his head, he bought it from the landlady, and he left a piece of ocean.  It was his subsidy that made Tang Qiuli feel relieved and started working hard again.

    In fact, Tang Qiuli was afraid that Battelle would violate mass discipline and he would be uneasy if he was punished. The younger brother was doing it for himself.

    After eating, he took Battelle to the street. The hidden and renovated station of the army was a small village with only a few dozen households. It looked like a typical mountain village in Guandong, with mountains behind it and the only mountain road leading into the distance. He  Nodding secretly, Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu were indeed veterans. The place they chose was very safe. In an emergency, a machine gun could block the road into the village. Once the troops drilled into the mountains, the dragon returned to the sea and the tiger advanced.  Mountain forest.

    The village was too small to accommodate thousands of people, so most of the soldiers had to camp outside the village. Fortunately, there were several natural caves, there was no shortage of wood, and they did not suffer.

    He walked around the village. The troops were carrying out normal training. The soldiers were in high spirits. When they saw the commander coming, they all gathered around and asked when they would fight a big battle like the two days ago.  He was very happy with the victory and the morale of the troops. Commanders at all levels fulfilled their duties and there was nothing for him to worry about.

    When people are in a good mood, they tend to be leisurely. When he met Li Honggang, he made a joke to Li Honggang, "Captain Li, are there any local tyrants or landlords in this village who want to be defeated?" This made Li Honggang feel embarrassed.  With a half-red face, he sneered and hurried away.

    Back at the headquarters, he called Qiuquan and arranged for the special operations brigade to set off immediately to collect information on the surrounding Japs, activate various intelligence stations, and collect all-round information on the Japs' current movements.

    ??Also, look for the whereabouts of the First Resistance Army and contact them as soon as possible.

    He asked the radio station to contact the intelligence and security department of the base. Qiu Sheng reported an important situation. After the Japanese suffered such a big loss, the matter had alerted the Kwantung Army's highest headquarters, which sent a large number of planes to search for members of the Blood Hand Regiment in the Changbai Mountain area.  Whereabouts, we must destroy this bandit armed force that affects the security and stability of southern Manchuria.

    Qiusheng also told him that the base was very safe and stable, and the Japs¡¯ attention was drawn to the East Road in South Manchuria.

    After listening to Qiusheng's report, Tang Qiuli jumped. Why had he ignored the Japanese plane? He hurriedly called Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu to inquire about the situation. They told him that a Japanese plane had left the army station this morning.  Flying over, because the troops were wearing winter snow combat uniforms, the concealment effect was excellent. Although the Japanese planes did not detect anything, it also aroused their vigilance. The troops had been arranged to pay attention to air defense and light control at night.

    Tang Qiuli was relieved, and was very grateful to have chosen these two as his deputies and chief of staff. Many important things had been thought of ahead of him.

    The days slipped away quietly in a stable, tense and orderly manner.

    That afternoon, intelligence came from Qiuquan that the Japanese field divisions stationed in Tonghua City had gone out in full force to search for the whereabouts of the troops. One of them?The brigade has entered the backing village of Tun'er, which is 80 kilometers due north of the army station. All Shao Benliang's troops, the Lao 1st Regiment, the Lao 3rd Regiment, the Lao 5th Regiment, and the Forestry Brigade have also left their home base of Miurahara and entered the Changbai Mountain area.  Came specifically to deal with the Resistance Alliance and the Bloody Hands.

    Also, we have contacted the Third Division of the First Army of the Anti-Union Army. The troops are fighting with the ground in the Mengjiang area. Because the Bloody Hand Regiment dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese pursuit troops with the strongest strength in the Mengjiang River area a few days ago, the Anti-Union Army is in a dire situation.  for the better.

    After listening to Qiuquan¡¯s intelligence, Tang Qiuli felt that the enemy situation around him was serious. The enemy could be said to be pressing down with soldiers, and his strength was dozens of times greater than his own. He had to unite with the Anti-Japanese Alliance to fight together, otherwise, he would be in danger of being surrounded by the Japanese and Shao Benliang.

    He immediately telegraphed Qiuquan and told the leaders of the Anti-Japanese Alliance that he would personally visit the Mengjiang area in the near future to discuss cooperation in the anti-Japanese war.
