Yamada's little devil is Wang Ba's iron heart, and he plunged into the ambush circle tailored for him by Ge Sanmin, a battalion commander with the remaining soldiers threw off their legs and hurriedly retreated towards the river, behind Abe Saburo, the devil was in hot pursuit, the distance between the two sides was very dead, for a while Abe Saburo's forward team even caught up with a battalion commander and their rear team, fortunately, these broken brothers of a battalion ran fast, and hurriedly made contact with the little devil who caught up, and broke free from the devil's entanglement, rushed to the riverside position, and lay down on the spot to shoot at the little devil who was chasing him.
Ge Sanmin was upset that they were waiting in the ambush position, and when they saw a large number of devils closely chasing after the commander of the first battalion, they immediately ordered their subordinates to prepare for battle, and after Abe Saburo's devil striker and a devil of the Yamada Brigade entered their ambush circle, Ge Sanmin yelled: "Fight" Almost at the same time, the twenty-shot box gun in Ge Sanmin's hand had already fired, and the brothers who were in ambush on the position opened fire together, and the mine that had been planted in front of the position in advance also began to explode, and the rumbling explosions came one after another, and the flames and smoke mixed with shrapnel fragments rose into the air, and the devils under Abe Saburo who rushed over in a hurry were torn apart, and the casualties were heavy.
The ambush position was filled with thick smoke and shrapnel, and several brothers who were desperately shooting at the devil soldiers and throwing grenades were lifted out of their positions by the shock wave of the shells, and the grenades that were already pulling the fuse in their hands exploded in an instant, blowing the wounded brother to pieces, and it seemed that he was not alive.
Although most of the devils of the Yamada Brigade are now recruits, after being attacked, under the shouting and organization of the devil veterans and those officers, these devil soldiers hurriedly occupied the cover on the side of the road, and used heavy machine guns and artillery to fight at Ge Sanmin's position, and the two sides launched a life-and-death battle by the river, and after fighting for a while, Ge Sanmin quietly ordered his brothers: "Quickly, retreat alternately and backward in turn, retreat to the reeds, there are small boats we have collected, hurry up and cross the river, Leave some boats in the reeds, and we'll be waiting on the other side of the river for these little devils rushing over."
As soon as the local villagers heard that the New Fourth Army team was going to use small boats to cross the river to fight devils, they generously poured everything they had, and some even brought their own door panels, which could be regarded as supporting the New Fourth Army team to fight the little devils.
With the strong support of the local villagers, Ge Sanmin and his family quickly got boats to cross the river and hid them all in the reeds on the edge of the river.
Seeing that the little devils had all taken the bait and chased after him, Ge Sanmin immediately made a decision and ordered his brothers to retreat in an orderly manner, and retreat to the other side of the river by boat, where a simple fortification had already been dug up, and there was already a platoon of brothers stationed there to meet Ge Sanmin who had retreated across the river.
The river was not wide, and Ge Sanmin and his men crossed the river quickly in small boats, and without even packing up those small boats, they jumped onto the river bank and hurried towards the defensive positions far from the river bank.
Abe Saburo and the little devils of the Yamada Brigade who chased after them saw that Ge Sanmin and they crossed the river and ran towards the opposite bank, so they ordered their little devils to stop the pursuit, and some devil scouts ran back and reported: "A large number of boats have been found in the reeds by the river in front."
As soon as he heard that there were still boats there, Yamada immediately ordered Abe Saburo and the others to stop the pursuit, stationed on the other side of the river, and asked Commander Shunroku Hata on the Nanjing side for instructions on what to do if there was a river blocking in front of him When Toshiroku Hatahata heard that the Yamada Brigade was blocked by a small river less than a mile wide, he was so angry that he scolded Yamada for being timid and afraid in the telegram, hesitated, and immediately ordered him sternly again: "The Miyamoto Brigade is in danger of being eaten by the New Fourth Army at any time, but you are still hesitating by this river less than a mile wide, and immediately find a way to cross the river, and you must rush to Lijiawan before it gets dark this evening, otherwise the military court will see you."
Yamada saw that Commander Shunroku Hata was in a hurry, so he didn't dare to say what he wanted to say, and when he heard that the scouts found that there were many small boats in the reeds by the river, his eyes rolled slightly: "Let's let Abe, this stunned boy, go to explore the situation and cross the river, and then let Abe cross the river safely, then let the engineers of the brigade quickly build a pontoon bridge over the river, so that the brigade and the large troops can all cross the river."
Yamada ordered Abe Saburo to cross the river with more than 200 little devils in a small boat hidden in the reeds, equipped Abe Saburo with many crooked machine guns and enough bullet grenades, and instructed them: "Abe-kun, your team is a death squad, and this trip will definitely be stubbornly blocked by those people on the other side, and the survival of our brigade depends on the fight of you imperial warriors, please."
After speaking, the little devil Yamada pretended to bow deeply to Abe Saburo, and the moved Abe was stunned, and hurriedly patted his chest and said: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, rest assured, we should rush over desperately, occupy the position of the New Fourth Army of the Chinese people, and wipe them all out on the position, you just wait for our good news, the imperial army will win, long live the emperor."
Abe Saburo raised his hands and shouted "Long live the emperor", those devils even raised their hands in unison, and shouted wildly with Abe Saburo, and the shout reached the ears of Ge Sanmin, who was waiting for these little devils to rush across the river on the opposite bank, and one of Ge Sanmin's brothers said to Ge Sanmin: "Commander, you see those little devils raising their hands, wah-wow-wow-wah shouting something."
Ge Sanmin smiled contemptuously and said: "These little devils are shouting their emperor, it's all at this time, and they are still there, brothers cheer me up, wait and beat these dog robbers hard, beat them all over the place, we must not let them go ashore to attack our position, behind us is the headquarters of the brigade, now is the critical moment to encircle and annihilate the Miyamoto brigade, we can't let these little devils mess up."
"It's our promise that we will never take a step back" Ge Sanmin's brothers replied impassionedly, majestic mountains and rivers, the sound spread to the devils on the other side, Yamada saw Ge Sanmin on the other side of the river, their military appearance was neat, shouting loudly, although they were all wearing shabby gray cloth uniforms, holding old weapons, but the fighting spirit was quite tenacious, it is estimated that it is also the master of the New Fourth Army who is not easy to mess with, and hurriedly told Abe Saburo, who was about to board the ship: "Abe-kun, our brigade is all about to entrust you imperial warriors, I will support the southern crossing by the river with artillery fire, kill them, occupy the positions, and kill all the people of China who are still stubbornly resisting."
Abe Saburo didn't know which tendon was wrong, and after listening to Yamada's advice, he knelt on the ground to the east with a "poof", and after a lot of words in his mouth, he stood up and shouted to the devils crossing the river under his hand: "The warriors of the Imperial Army's death squad, set off to cross the river" More than 200 devil soldiers with crooked handles, machine guns and grenades hurriedly boarded the boat, this kind of boat can only seat four people at most, and more than 200 devils sat on fifty or sixty Ge Sanmin They deliberately left the small boat in the reeds and came back towards the other side of the river violently, the little devils here are still hurriedly boarding the boat, and the scouts on the position over there have already seen it, and hurriedly ran back to report to Ge Sanmin: "Commander, about 200 little devils have crossed the river by boat."
Ge Sanmin asked him: "What about the big army of devils, what are they doing?"
Ge Sanmin's target is not the 200 or so little devils of the devil death squad led by Abe Saburo who came first, but the large army of the Yamada Brigade behind, only by deceiving the large army of the Yamada Brigade and crossing the river, and then quickly sending the comrades of the local county brigade to outflank them and cut off their retreat, can they be regarded as having completed the task of blocking and blocking the Yamada Brigade in the south of Lijiawan, the number of the Yamada Brigade is as many as seven or eight thousand, and there are many mountain artillery mortars and grenadiers.
The firepower is quite ferocious, and these brothers who rely on Ge Sanmin to bring in the blockade can't do anything to the Yamada Brigade, they only need to drag the Yamada Brigade here, and wait for Zhou Wu and them to encircle and annihilate the Miyamoto Brigade before they can consider encircling the Yamada Brigade.
Abe Saburo crossed the river with more than 200 devils holding crooked machine guns and grenadiers in small boats, Ge Sanmin hurriedly looked at the river with binoculars, and found that only more than 200 devils crossed the river forward, and Yamada's large army was still on the other side of the river, he just wanted to order his brothers not to rush to fire first, when he suddenly saw the flames spraying in the formation of those devils by the river, and his heart was suddenly stunned, and he shouted at the brothers on the ground: "Lie down and fire the devils" As soon as the words fell, a shell roared and smashed on the edge of the position more than ten meters away, exploding a soaring flame and smoke, and the shock wave generated by the explosion blew up the soft soil by the river, and shrapnel mixed with fragments of soil smashed into the brothers on the position, fortunately Ge Sanmin shouted just now, and the brothers on the position lay down and hid in the trench, so they were not hit by the devil's shell.
After only a few seconds, the artillery of the little devil of Yamada began a torrential bombardment of Ge Sanmin on the other side of the river, and the shells roared and smashed into the position, and exploded everywhere around the position, exploding into flames, thick smoke, and a few shells fell in the trenches, and lifted up a few brothers of the Second Regiment of the Independent Brigade of the New Fourth Army who were hiding inside to avoid the shells, and were torn apart by a powerful shock wave in the air, and they were scattered on the position.
I didn't have time to dig that anti-artillery hole in the trench, and now I had to lie down in the trench, waiting for the devil's artillery fire to stop, and there was nothing else to think of. t1706231537:
