Guan Cheng saw in the telescope that the team of little devils suddenly stopped, and felt that something was wrong, and then saw that the team of devils was collectively turning backwards, and felt that the little devils saw the flaws here, and they were going to run Guan Cheng didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately sent a few brothers with fast legs to Ding Ning's side, telling Ding Ning that the devil team had turned, and asked him to prepare for precautions, and he pulled out twenty box cannons, raised his hand and fired at the backs of those devils who were collectively turning backwards and were about to retract.
A crisp gunshot rang out, and then flames erupted from the weapons of all the brothers on the position, and bullets whistled towards the backs of those devil soldiers, and immediately a dozen or so unprepared little devils were shot and fell to the ground, and the rest of the little devils reacted not slowly, under the shouting of the leading devil officer, they lay on the ground on the spot, and the crooked light machine gun began to roar, and then the little devil's Type 95 heavy machine gun also began to shoot desperately, and the grenadiers and mortars beckoned to the grass on the side of the road.
The explosion of the shells raised flames and fragments of dirt into the sky, and smashed on the brothers on the position, causing pain and pain.
Guan Cheng hurriedly shouted at his subordinates: "Brothers alternate cover and retreat in the direction of Lijiawan" Guan Cheng told his brothers in advance that they would contact the devils first, fight with them for a while, and then pretend to be defeated and retreat, luring the little devils of this wing to catch up, and Ding Ning in the back of the Miyamoto Brigade and them would make a detour through the back of the Miyamoto Brigade and attack the devils, and then quickly withdraw from the battle and run towards Lijiawan, as long as Miyamoto catches up, the commander of the 29th Division, who is under great pressure, can rest for a while, and then chase Miyamoto to Lijiawan, forming an encirclement of the Miyamoto Brigade, because in this place of Lijiawan, There are tens of thousands of horses of Zhou Wu and two divisions of the 79th Army waiting for him, as long as Miyamoto falls into this trap, then even if he has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to run out of the encirclement that exceeds his number by six or seven times, the old army commander has prepared several plans, in case the commander of the upper theater or the old chairman of the Jiang Committee blames him, he will use the Miyamoto Brigade to attack the independent regiment of the 79th Army first, and all the 79th Army will be dispatched to surround the Miyamoto Brigade, The theater command and the chairman of the committee did not dare to put on the table such a ugly thing as collusion with the Japanese, so that the old army commander would be justified, and as long as the battle was won by a big victory, public opinion would be more favorable to the old army commander's 79th Army, and then the old army commander would not be afraid of the difficulties of the theater command, I am afraid that only Chief Gu and they are dumb and can't say what they are suffering from, the chief of staff who monitored and contained the old army commander Ming Zheng disappeared, and the independent regiment was all "wiped out" by the Miyamoto brigade, and Chief Gu definitely had no way to deal with the old army commander.
It seems that the old army elder is still calculating, although Ming Zheng is smart, but he still looks a little tender compared to the old army commander, no, the chief of staff of the major general Ming Zheng was escorted to Ding Ning's side by several soldiers of the New Fourth Army at this time, and Ding Ning, who was busy interspersing behind the Miyamoto brigade, did not have time to pay attention to this old colleague, and ordered his brothers to escort these prisoners to the base area first, and then talk about it after the battle.
Guan Cheng shouted to retreat, and the brothers on the position immediately withdrew from their positions one after another, retreating like a tide in the direction of Lijiawan, of course, this is not a real retreat, but in order to lure the opposite devil team to play a fake show, the brothers alternately cover each other, and slowly withdraw in the direction of Lijiawan.
At this time, the captain of the devil wing on the opposite side was hot-headed, and he saw in the telescope that the soldiers of the New Fourth Army who were ambushed in the position retreated to the west one after another, and thought that it was the devils under his command who were awesome, and the force was greatly strong, and the people who were not able to measure their strength were beaten to the back and fled, so he did not ask the commander of the Miyamoto Brigade who was attacking the 29th Division behind, and ordered his subordinates on his own initiative: "All of them, pursue them and destroy these New Fourth Army" This can't be complained about this devil wing captain, their little devils are in the Huai'an area, and they used to fight with the Kuomintang army, most of them ended in a big victory for their devils, and they fought with the Jiangbei New Fourth Army, and the results were also mixed, so these little devils, especially those officers, naturally have a psychological advantage, that is, they think that the combat effectiveness of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army is still okay, and it is okay to fight guerrilla harassment and sneak attack warfare, but if it is not good to fight a war of attrition in the position, the Kuomintang army is even more a straw bag, To deal with them, a regiment only needs a squad of the imperial army, so this time, when Guan Cheng and they harassed and attacked the devils a little, they hurriedly retreated in the direction of Lijiawan, and just happened to be mistaken by the captain of the devil wing to think that the New Fourth Army team on the opposite side really couldn't resist the counterattack they launched, so he boldly made the decision to pursue all the New Fourth Army teams in front, so a large number of devils crossed the grass pile, overflowed the rice fields, and divided into multiple formations to catch up with Guan Cheng.
This time, the devils miscalculated, they may have forgotten how the New Fourth Army in front of them and the Kuomintang 79th Army next to it stumbled with the Japanese troops who landed in Luodian, Shanghai seven years ago, Zhou Wu's New Fourth Army Independent Brigade came from the 79th Army, and most of the officers came from the 79th Army.
In addition, at this moment, Zhou Wu was authorized to take full command of all the anti-Japanese armed forces of the New Fourth Army in the Jiangbei base area, with four brigades and one Jiangnan detachment, as well as many county brigades and other local anti-Japanese armed forces in the Jiangbei base area, with a total strength of 40,000 or 50,000 people, and he had the strength and ability to surround and annihilate the devils of less than 6,000 Miyamoto brigades who chased after him.
It is precisely out of this consideration that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is about to end victoriously, and before the little devil is driven out of the land of China, let Zhou Wu, who has the potential for military command, fight a few more battles like this, so that he can quickly grow into an excellent military commander.
And Miyamoto and his subordinate officers did not consider the strength of the 79th Army next to Zhou Wu, although most of the 79th Army has now changed a lot of soldiers and officers, but the soul of the 79th Army, the old commander, is still there, this famous general of the Northern Expedition who came out of the warlord melee, there is still a set of battles, Miyamoto and the devil officers underestimated the strength of the 79th Army, which completely led to the Miyamoto Brigade finally falling into the trap, and a great battle that they had never seen before was quietly waiting for them in Lijiawan, more than 50 kilometers to the west.
At this moment, Ding Ning, who successfully went around the back of the Miyamoto brigade, took his brothers to launch a sneak attack on Miyamoto, and the angry Miyamoto hurriedly ordered his officers to draw troops to deal with the attacking enemy, because Ding Ning stopped their attack, hit the little devil team, and immediately turned around and withdrew to the west, Miyamoto mistook it for the surrounding New Fourth Army anti-Japanese forces harassing them, so he ordered his team to attack the 29th Division opposite, and the rest of the team suspended the pursuit, or according to the original battle plan, Quickly pass through the gap between the defensive positions of the 29th Division, go around to the back of the 29th Division, surround the 29th Division and destroy them Ding Ning saw that this trick did not work, and felt that his own temptation and temptation were not enough, Miyamoto little devil was not fooled, so he ordered his brothers to turn around and rush back again, this time Ding Ning made a big noise, caught a lone devil squad on the way and beat him to death, sixty or seventy little devils were surrounded by thousands of brothers of the Jiangnan detachment of the New Fourth Army, and after fighting for less than half an hour, they all died, and finally luckily ran out of two devil soldiers, ran to Miyamoto, panting and panicked to report to him:" Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, that our squad was suddenly attacked by a large number of the New Fourth Army of China, and all the jade was shattered, leaving only the two of us desperately running out to report the news, according to our estimates, there were as many as five or six thousand people in the New Fourth Army of the Chinese people, all over the mountains and fields, and they were too many to count. ” These two devil soldiers exaggerated Ding Ning's actual strength, Miyamoto was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly took a military map to take a look, this is the defense area of the Kuomintang army, how can there be so many New Fourth Army troops, the scale of five or six thousand people, at least three maps of the New Fourth Army, could it be that Zhou Wu drove all his independent brigades here or his own subordinates made mistakes and reported the situation indiscriminately The two little devil soldiers looked at Miyamoto with a look of disbelief, and they were afraid of being punished and suffering, so they said nonsense again: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, what we said is true, no, this is the relic that the captain of our mountain field team entrusted us to bring out before the jade shatter was killed in battle, and there is a letter here, and the team leader instructed us to personally hand it over to the brigade commander." ” Miyamoto took the letter and looked at it, only to see a few lines scribbled inside: There are too many enemies, and our team can't resist it at all, but we will not give in and surrender, and we will fight to the death and sacrifice our lives for His Majesty the Emperor This time Miyamoto finally believed that he had met the main force of the New Fourth Army, and immediately ordered the wing that was storming the position of the 29th Division to suspend the attack, and those wings that bypassed the back of the 29th Division through the gap in the position stopped advancing, and the Miyamoto Brigade adjusted the direction of the team and pursued it towards the main force of the New Fourth Army, the 29th Division is left alone for the time being, and it will be said later, and the independent brigade of Zhou Wu's New Fourth Army will be solved first Miyamoto finally took the bait, Ding Ning saw that Miyamoto's brigade was already starting to move and turn, and felt that he had to work harder, otherwise the little Miyamoto devil who took the bait might suddenly wake up and find that it was decoupled, and it would not be easy to do. t1706231537:
