Chapter 270 Attack from both sides
At 4:40, the 101st Regiment quietly passed through the flank of the 8th Regiment, but it became particularly smooth.
This puzzled the regiment commander Zhu Yuan. Although the troops tried their best to control the noise, more than 2000 people in the regiment passed by one after another, and the footsteps were quite loud. How could the Japanese not notice it at all?
The reconnaissance squad didn't find anything unusual with the Japanese, it was really weird!
But he didn't know that at the Japanese secret sentry post 101 meters away from the 400st Regiment, Colonel Ogawa, who had just laid down and was not yet asleep, had arrived here two minutes ago.
Although it is night now, there is still a moon in the sky, so it is not particularly dark.
The position of the Japanese sentry was also very well chosen. The moonlight was blocked, but the surrounding area of several hundred meters was illuminated by the moonlight.
So the secret sentry cannot be seen by the people around, but he can see some subtle movements around.
The Japanese soldier said softly, "Captain, why are there Tang troops behind us? Judging from the size of the army, there must be two regiments!"
"No!" Colonel Ogawa shook his head and said, "Although I can't see their uniforms clearly, I can still guess their general appearance. When I retreated from Shanyang, I saw the uniforms of the opposing infantry up close. What we see in front of us is very similar to that. I'm afraid this is the main force of the 88th Army!"
The Japanese soldiers were immediately shocked: "Main force, let's fight quickly, we must not let them get through, otherwise Baoshan will be in danger!"
Colonel Ogawa quickly covered the Japanese soldier with his hand and said, "You are crazy, speak softly. What kind of army is the 88th Army? Can we afford to fight them? The army always marches with reconnaissance troops first. Look at their advance team, which is the size of two regiments. How strong will the follow-up main force be?"
"Then what should we do? Let them pass? There is only one road leading to Baoshan. If they pass, our regiment's retreat will be cut off!"
Colonel Ogawa looked behind him, his mouth curled up slightly and he said, "Who said there is only one way to Baoshan? Two days ago, when I went to Baoshan County to do business, Jingui Jiro learned a piece of news from the Tang people. There is a hidden path going straight west from the Stone Buddha Temple, which was trampled out by the Tang herbalists.
This is a way to make a fortune. Except for a few herbalists, even the local Tang people don't know about it.
Jingui Jiro exchanged a few hundred-year-old ginseng from them. That is a good thing. If you sell it back home, you can make a lot of money!"
When they heard that they could make a fortune, the eyes of several Japanese soldiers lit up immediately, and they were already imagining counting money until their hands cramped.
"After the Tang army passes through, we should have half an hour. You hurry back to the camp and pass on my order. Everyone should prepare to evacuate. Everyone must evacuate the Stone Buddha Temple within 20 minutes and take the small road to the west of Baoshan Mountain."
"Colonel, what about the friendly forces in Gongpo and Gongguo? If we withdraw quietly, they will be surrounded by the Tang army!"
Colonel Ogawa thought for a moment and said, "Well, send a detachment to Baoshan immediately. Tell them that our regiment had an encounter with the Tang army at Shifo Temple and suffered heavy losses. But our unit did not forget its mission and managed to escape with all its might to report the news. Let them prepare themselves!"
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
"return!"
"Any other orders?"
"Remember to put more chicken blood on your body, and don't bring any bullets with you. Pretend you've run out of bullets!"
Just like that, as soon as the 101st Regiment passed the Shifo Temple, all the Japanese soldiers of the 8th Regiment started to move collectively. The speed was so fast that more than 3000 people withdrew from the Shifo Temple in more than 10 minutes.
They discarded all their weapons and armor along the way, and even threw away several mountain cannons and infantry cannons, and the rapid-fire cannons were also thrown in the village. However, apart from weapons and equipment, no other supplies were left behind.
However, the 101st Regiment passed through, and because of Colonel Ogawa's tip-off, the other Japanese devils were on guard.
It was 6 o'clock in the morning and the sky was already getting light. It was no longer pitch black and some rocks and trees could be vaguely seen.
"General Staff, Division Commander Dai sent a telegram saying that the three regiments of the division have passed the Shifo Temple and are approaching Banqiao Village east of Baoshan and west of Gongpo!"
Fang Yue did not sleep all night, keeping a close eye on the movements of this surprise attack force. As long as they succeeded, regardless of how many enemies they would kill, at least they would be able to control the entire eastern side of the Nujiang River!
"Where are Consultant Wei? Where are they?"
"It seems that we have encountered some problems. We lost contact with the Wei Advisory Office half an hour ago!"
Fang Yue frowned slightly. He did not doubt Wei Li's ability. He knew that he could handle any trouble he encountered. He was just afraid of wasting time.
He had already deployed the 7th Mechanized Infantry Regiment and the Artillery Regiment in Gongguo. As long as Dai Ming's 101st Division launched a surprise attack from the rear, they would start bombarding the crossing river, attacking from both sides and catching all the Japanese on the other side in one fell swoop.
However, the rocket artillery support of the 7th Regiment is indispensable, otherwise the Japanese can easily break through the 101st Division and escape.
"Don't interrupt the communication, report to me every 5 minutes!"
...
Fang Yue was busy as hell, but Xu Le from Shanyang was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
On the other side of the strait, Liu Quanhua is in charge of the overall situation, and the headquarters has Wei Junjun, who was temporarily brought in to run the show. His bad habit of being a hands-off boss was brought here from Shanxi Province.
Boom boom boom....
It was not until the sound of cannon fire was heard all over the mountains that Xu Le woke up from his dream.
I looked at the alarm clock beside the bed; "It's only 7 o'clock. Xu Da, Xu Da, Xu Da. Damn it, where is he?"
After calling for a long time without any response, Xu Le reluctantly climbed out of bed: "No wonder people in my previous life said that Yunnan Province has a pleasant climate. This temperature is just right. Sleeping naked is so comfortable!"
At this moment, a figure opened the door and came in. Xu Leding took a look and immediately covered his key parts with his hands.
Zhou Jiajia was also stunned, then turned around and ran out the door: "Young Marshal, Brother Xu was just called away by Director Wei. He said you might wake up soon, so he asked me to bring you some water to wash your face!"
Xu Le looked down at his brother who was doing morning exercises and asked cautiously: "Jia Jia, you must not have seen anything, right!"
"No, no."
"Oh, that's fine. Just leave the water for washing your face at the door and I'll get it later!"
Ten minutes later, Xu Le arrived at the headquarters, where Xu Da was discussing something with Wei Junjun.
"How's the situation?"
Wei Junjun looked up at Xu Le, then lowered his head and said, "The artillery regiment over there in Gongguo opened fire half an hour ago, and the 101st Division has also exchanged fire with the Japanese in Banqiao. Now all the divisions are in a stalemate! But Staff Officer Fang said that they have lost contact with Advisor Wei for almost two hours. Without the fire support of rocket launchers, the 101st Division is having a hard time fighting.
Fortunately, we have the advantage in the number of mortars, so we didn't suffer any loss. Now it depends on us whether to launch an attack on Gongpo!"
Xu Le walked forward, looked at the map in front of him, pointed at the location of Gongpo and asked, "Have you found out the deployment of the Japanese in Gongpo?"
"I just asked Xu Da to help me arrange a helicopter to investigate. He hasn't come back yet. We won't know the specific situation until he comes back. According to my guess, the hidden artillery position of the Japanese that appeared last night may be in the Gongpo area."
Xu Le shook his head slightly: "Gongguo's Japanese troops only have one retreat route, Gongpo. The Japanese must have deployed heavy troops to guard Gongpo to ensure logistics and retreat routes. Let the 176th Division find a way to cut off this route."
