Xu Dalong, Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng and others rode horses to the vicinity of Liujiazhuang. They spent nearly two hours carefully surveying the terrain around Liujiazhuang, and then redid it on the sketch drawn by Zheng Xirong. Label.
Xu Dalong said: "The Japanese have been hiding in Liujiazhuang, living together with the people in the village. In order to avoid the casualties of the people, we cannot launch an attack on the Japanese army. So we must try to mobilize them out."
At this point, he pointed to the terrain map and said: "We try to lure the Japanese out. The terrain here is very open and has a wide field of vision. The Japanese cavalry will not worry about an ambush, so the possibility of them coming out is very high. After they come out, Let's send a cavalry force to attack suddenly, block their escape back to Liujiazhuang, and then surround and eliminate them from all sides."
Everyone agreed with Xu Dalong's style of play, and then they divided the work.
Zhang Dabiao and Cui Zhenyue respectively led troops to form an encirclement from a distance, Sun Desheng led a special operations squadron to lure the enemy, and Wei Monk was responsible for robbing Liujiazhuang.
Liujiazhuang.
Captain Takashima attacked Li Yunlong's newly formed First Brigade, and it can be said that he took a lot of advantage. Not only did he report to Chiba Xunyi and received praise from Chiba Xunyi, he also sent a telegram reporting victory to the Chahar dispatched army. The commander of the Chahar Expeditionary Force also praised the Takashima Regiment, saying that they had won honor for the Chahar Expeditionary Force and allowed him to gain face in front of Yoshio Shinozuka.
Captain Takashima was satisfied and planned to rest for a day or two before taking the initiative.
He is a very proud man, full of confidence in his cavalry troops, and what he hopes to do most is to meet the cavalry of the Mawushan guerrillas. He believes that his cavalry regiment has undergone strict professional training, and the cavalry of the Mawushan guerrillas are just a group of ragtag men on horseback. If they fight head-on, they will definitely not be the opponents of his cavalry regiment.
After the Takashima Regiment entered Liujiazhuang, the village became a hell on earth. All the women were humiliated by the Japanese army. The men who resisted even a little bit, even if they showed anger towards the Japanese army, would be killed by the Japanese army. . In just a few days, more than one-fifth of the villagers in Liujiazhuang were killed or injured.
Captain Takashima was a villain. After he entered Liujiazhuang, he took over the two most beautiful women in the village. This beast was rude to the woman in front of her husband and father. The men did not dare to resist, otherwise, not only would they die, but their entire family would also lose their lives.
That afternoon, after Takashima's first meeting at the Hair Association, he felt a little tired. He slept until 4:00, then lazily got out of bed, forcing the woman to help him wash up, when he heard gunshots in the distance.
Takashima could hear clearly that the gunfire did not come from the village. If the gunshots came from the village, it meant that the Japanese army was killing innocent people, which he was too lazy to pay attention to. But the gunshots came from outside the village, which meant something was going on and immediately aroused his vigilance.
Takashima immediately ordered the orderlies to convey the order and sent people outside the village to understand the situation. He put on his military uniform, walked to the yard and sat down, waiting for someone to report the situation to him.
Not long after, a Japanese second lieutenant hurried in.
After seeing Gao Dao, he stood at attention and saluted, and said: "Report to your Excellency, the captain, that the cavalry of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces appeared outside the village. There are about a hundred people, and they are chasing the yellow army's cavalry."
Takadao asked with some confusion: "Where did the Huang Army's cavalry come from?"
The second lieutenant said: "I'm not sure. Those cavalrymen are carrying communication equipment. I don't know which yellow army's communication troops they are."
Takashima asked: "Does the enemy's cavalry only have more than a hundred people?"
The second lieutenant said: "That's all I saw."
After thinking for a while, Takashima said: "Go and notify the Yoshida Brigade and ask them to dispatch to eliminate the cavalry armed by the underground party. We need to capture a few people alive. I want to find out the origin of the underground party cavalry."
The second lieutenant said loudly: "Ha Yi." Then he saluted and ran away.
After Takashima issued the order, he also walked towards the edge of the village.
He entered a yard at the edge of the village. Soldiers had already set up a ladder in front of a house. Takashima climbed up and looked out from the roof.
Takashima saw the cavalry of Yoshida's brigade rushing out of Liujiazhuang and rushing towards the underground party's cavalry.
When the fleeing Japanese cavalry saw reinforcements coming, they reined in their horses and ran toward the village.
Soon after, the chased Japanese cavalry were brought into the courtyard. A wing of the cavalry wing followed and questioned them.
The alliance asked: "Which army are you from and why are you being chased?"
There were seven Japanese soldiers who escaped back, and the leader was Captain Cao. He said: "Your Majesty, Captain, we are the signal corps guarding the 82nd Regiment of the 32nd Division. We are performing a line checking mission and encountered enemy troops on the way. Of the cavalry, four soldiers were unfortunately shattered."
Speaking of this, Chang Cao showed a painful look on his face.
The regiment asked additionally: "You are guarding the 32nd Division. What is the name of the division commander and what is the name of the regiment commander?"
Chief Cao answered one by one.
The regiment asked, "What is the name of the chief of staff of your division?"
Chief Cao shook his head and said, "We don't know this."
In fact, the wing attached was not familiar with the 32nd garrison division, including the division commander. He asked these questions because he wanted to see if there was anything wrong with these Japanese soldiers. Seeing their fluent answers made me believe it a little bit.
He suddenly asked them the name of the chief of staff of their division. Captain Cao replied that he couldn't tell. The regiment attached to him believed it because everyone who was guarding the 32nd Division should know the name of the division commander Chiba Xunichi, but the name of the chief of staff was unknown. Most ordinary soldiers probably don't know his name. Chief Cao's answer seemed very natural.
The regiment asked a few more questions, believing the identity of these Japanese soldiers, and then asked: "Who are the enemy troops who attacked you, and how many troops are there?"
Chief Cao said: "We don't know exactly who they are, but in this area, the Mawushan guerrillas of the underground party have a large number of cavalry. They should be their people. We don't know how many troops there are, but we saw them These are the people who are chasing us.”
After the regiment finished asking the questions they wanted to ask, they ordered people to take these soldiers down to rest. He also climbed up the ladder and reported to Captain Takashima.
Takadao suddenly became interested when he heard that the enemy cavalry outside was the cavalry of the Mawushan guerrillas.
He carefully observed the situation on the battlefield outside and saw that after the Yoshida brigade rushed over, the enemy cavalry had begun to retreat, and the Yoshida brigade followed closely behind.
Suddenly, the Yoshida brigade stopped chasing. Not only that, they turned around and fled back.
Takashima looked towards the back of Yoshida's brigade and saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and many cavalry armed by the underground party appeared.
Seeing that the enemy had reinforcements, Takashima immediately asked the regiment to convey the order, and the entire regiment mounted their horses and went out to meet the enemy.
After giving the order, he also got off the roof, mounted his horse and led the troops out of the village.
The communications staff officer of the Yoshida brigade came over on Pegasus to report to him that the enemy's cavalry numbered about five to six hundred.
Takashima received a report that the Mawushan guerrillas had about a thousand cavalry, and the cavalry in front should be part of their main force.
Takashima had long wanted to show off with the cavalry of the Mawushan guerrillas. Although only part of the enemy's cavalry came, the number was not small. Being able to eat them was a big victory.
Takashima became excited. He led a cavalry brigade directly to reinforce the Yoshida brigade, and ordered another cavalry brigade to divide into two groups and outflank the enemy from the left and right wings.
When the cavalry armed by the underground party saw the large group of Japanese cavalry rushing over, they stopped their pursuit and lined up on the spot. The officers and soldiers all shouldered their rifles, took out their sabers, and assumed a hand-to-hand fighting posture.
Takashima saw this scene, which was exactly what he expected. He felt his blood surge up and a heroic feeling surged in his chest, and he also led his troops to line up.
Baimeng book
The cavalry of both sides faced each other at a distance of more than 200 meters. The cavalry of both the enemy and ours clenched their sabers and were ready to fight at any time.
Captain Takashima drew his saber, pointed forward, and shouted loudly: "Let's attack."
The Japanese officers and soldiers waved their sabers and howled as they rushed forward.
The underground anti-Japanese armed forces lined up in front were part of the cavalry unit led by Sun Desheng. This kind of cavalry duel has always been something he longed for. When he saw the enemy rushing over, he was equally arrogant. He raised his saber high and shouted loudly: "Brothers, charge." After saying that, he took the lead and rushed out.
The cavalry troops on both sides of the enemy roared and galloped, like two floods rushing forward, and then collided fiercely.
A fierce fighting began. The battlefield was in chaos, with both sides fighting each other, and the soldiers fought desperately. The neighing of the war horses, the roars of the soldiers, the clang of the sabers, and the screams of the wounded were mixed together in a messy manner.
Sun Desheng rushed towards the enemy. He waved his saber to block the saber of a Japanese cavalry, and slashed the opponent's neck with his sword. The Japanese cavalry fell off the horse without making a sound. Then Sun Desheng cut down two Japanese cavalrymen in succession.
When a Japanese squadron leader saw how brave Sun Desheng was, he howled and rushed over.
Sun Desheng also noticed him and rode up to meet him, and the two started a fierce hand-to-hand combat.
The Japanese squadron leader was skilled in swordsmanship. Sun Desheng fought with him for seven or eight rounds. Not only did he fail to eliminate the opponent, he was almost hit by the opponent.
When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent. The bravery of the Japanese squadron leader inspired Sun Desheng's fighting spirit. He did not carelessly, concentrated on dealing with the opponent in front of him seriously. After several rounds of fighting, he finally saw the flaw of the Japanese squadron leader and cut him off with a single blow.
Seeing how brave Sun Desheng was, several Japanese cavalrymen rushed towards him together.
The guard squad behind Sun Desheng rushed forward and started fighting with the enemy.
Sun Desheng stood up and checked the situation on the entire battlefield.
Seeing that there were too many enemy troops and his cavalry units gradually began to fall into disadvantage, they stopped fighting and issued an order to retreat.
Captain Takashima also personally participated in the battle just now. He is skilled in sword skills, and three cavalrymen of the Mawushan guerrillas have already fallen under his sword.
When he was getting ready to chop, he saw the cavalry of the Mawushan guerrillas retreating. He was not willing to let go, so he led a large group of cavalry in pursuit while roaring.
The cavalry of the Mawushan guerrillas retreated quickly, and the Japanese cavalry pursued desperately. The battlefield continued to move and gradually moved away from Liujiazhuang.
This area is all plains, with almost no commanding heights. Xu Dalong stood on top of a tank and observed the situation on the battlefield with a telescope.
When he saw the Japanese cavalry brigade moving away from Liujiazhuang, he issued an order to attack.
The first ones to launch the attack were Wei Monk's special operations squadron and Wang Pao's motorcycle squadron. Their mission was to capture Liujiazhuang, prevent the Japanese army in Liujiazhuang from controlling the people, and at the same time cut off the Japanese army's retreat route back to Liujiazhuang. After receiving Xu Dalong's order, they immediately launched an attack on Liujiazhuang.
The Japanese sentry in Liujiazhuang discovered the cavalry led by Wei Monk and Wang Pao's motorcycle team and immediately fired an alarm and reported to the Japanese logistics chief who stayed behind in the village.
At this time, the Japanese troops remaining in the village included the agency personnel of the regiment headquarters and the heavy logistics troops, and there were approximately more than a hundred people. Led by their officers, they took up arms to block the enemy's attack.
Wei Monk's special operations squadron and Wang Pao's motorcycle squadron are one of the most elite units of the Mawushan guerrillas. Their combat effectiveness is very strong. They only face the Japanese army's miscellaneous personnel. It is said that they should be able to easily annihilate them.
However, the Japanese army took advantage of the terrain. They relied on the village wall to shoot outwards, making it difficult for Monk Wei and others to approach.
Monk Wei and Wang Pao directed the guerrillas to set up a battle formation, set up artillery, and prepared to reorganize the attack.
The Japanese officers and soldiers who stayed behind were originally handymen and were very panicked at first. However, when they saw that the enemy's attack was blocked, their morale suddenly rose and they increased their confidence in repelling the enemy's attack.
They fired machine guns and rifles in an attempt to drag the Japanese cavalry back for reinforcements.
At this moment, gunshots suddenly rang out from behind the Japanese army. Seven guerrillas disguised as Japanese communications troops attacked the Japanese army from behind. The Japanese army was caught off guard and panicked.
Monk Wei and Wang Pao seized the opportunity, led the guerrillas and rushed towards the village, and soon invaded the village.
The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army no longer had the advantage of terrain. Wherever they were, the opponents of the wolf-like special operations team members were quickly wiped out.
The Japanese cavalry regiment left a large number of artillery, machine guns and other baggage in the village. Monk Wei and others immediately rushed to the village to set up defensive positions to prevent the Japanese army from returning to Liujiazhuang.
Just after Wei Monk and others launched a surprise attack on Liujiazhuang, Cui Zhenyue's chariot troops, Zhang Dabiao's chariot battalion, the main cavalry force of the Mawushan guerrilla brigade, and the infantry battalion of the Xinyi Brigade riding in cars were ambushed. Launched an attack on the Japanese cavalry unit.
When Sun Desheng saw the reinforcements arriving, they also stopped retreating, turned their horses and fought back.
Captain Takashima originally had the upper hand and was chasing the retreating enemy cavalry. He was in high spirits when he suddenly found a large number of enemy troops surrounding him. He realized that he had been ambushed and immediately ordered his troops to retreat, leading a large group of people towards Running wildly in the direction of Liujiazhuang.
When Gao Dao and others approached Liujiazhuang, dense bullets flew towards them, and the Japanese cavalry fell one after another.
Even Captain Takashima's war horse was hit by several bullets. The horse whined and fell down, and Takashima also fell off his horse.
One of his legs was pinned down by the fallen horse, and he felt severe pain in his calf, which must have been broken.
The guards around him dismounted and dragged him out from under the fallen horse.
Captain Takadao endured the pain and remounted his horse. He saw the enemy firepower in Liujiazhuang was fierce, and the surrounding enemy troops were approaching step by step. He knew that Liujiazhuang would not be captured in a short time. If he delayed here, there would only be one.
He quickly judged the situation on the battlefield and saw the enemy's tank troops on the east and west sides. He knew very well that using the flesh and blood of cavalry to fight against steel behemoths like armored vehicles was no match at all. The only possibility was to kill them. The only area that was heavily encircled was the direction where the enemy's cavalry was.
Captain Takashima gave the order decisively and led the cavalry regiment to turn their horses and charge towards Sun Desheng and others.
His judgment was correct. The one with the weakest firepower and relatively weak military strength at this moment was the cavalry unit led by Sun Desheng and others.
Takashima believed that the cavalry on the opposite side were no match for him, and now they were still unable to withstand the impact of the cavalry regiment. They rushed forward just like before, waving their sabers and shouting.
Just when Takashima thought that the enemy cavalry would wave their sabers and rush forward to fight, unexpectedly, the enemy cavalry dismounted one after another, lay on the ground, and set up machine guns, rifles and mortars towards The Japanese troops opened fire fiercely.
The Japanese cavalry on horseback were simply living targets. They fell off their horses one after another and suffered heavy casualties. "Bayalu and Tubal Road are jobs for cowards." Takashima was very angry at the unruly tactics of the anti-Japanese armed forces in these underground cities, and had no choice but to curse a few words to express his anger.
Angry, Takashima had not lost his mind yet. He looked in other directions and saw an enemy cavalry force on the right wing, so he led the troops and rushed towards the right wing.
After Takashima rushed forward a few steps, he saw the enemy cavalry in front of him duck to the sides. Behind them appeared a group of armored vehicles and trucks full of enemy soldiers. The machine guns and artillery fire from them came at them. The beating knocked the Japanese soldiers off their feet.
The guerrilla cavalry also dismounted and shot at the Japanese army.
Takashima looked around and saw a large number of enemy tanks and armored vehicles surrounding them. The encirclement was gradually shrinking. The enemy's artillery kept firing, and his cavalrymen continued to fall.
