At about 7 o'clock in the night, at the Sancha intersection, there is an open space in the middle of a forest on the side of the road.
This open space is very large, as big as two football fields. Zhou Dabang parked more than a dozen cars here and waited for almost a day.
He checked the surrounding area and found nothing unusual. Moreover, this place is far away from Changshu and located in the rear, so Zhou Dabang asked the brothers to rest.
At this time, after sleeping all night, the brothers were very energetic and were lighting a bonfire to roast the canned devils and chatting while eating.
A veteran asked: "Old Zhou, why do you want us to wait here?"
Zhou Dabang shook his head and said: "Don't ask me, I don't know if you ask me. That head in our group is an exquisite head with seven orifices."
The veteran laughed and said: "I have only heard of the exquisite heart with seven orifices, but who has seen the exquisite head with seven orifices?"
Zhou Da Bang said jokingly: "Didn't you see it this time?"
"Hahaha!"
The soldiers of Special Company 1 laughed.
"who?"
At this moment, the sentry suddenly shouted.
Zhou Da Bang shouted: "Get the gun!"
The soldiers of the Special 1st Company grabbed their guns one after another and took a defensive stance using the car as a cover. But at this moment, extremely vicious Japanese soldiers with bayonets appeared all around them. Visually, there were at least four to five hundred of these Japanese soldiers. The body of their sentry was thrown out of the forest by two Japanese soldiers.
The leader was a Japanese major. He used non-standard Chinese and said with a smile: "Chinese, I am Qianju Major,..."
"You need to beat me up, Major? Do Japanese people still have such a name?"
One of the soldiers from the Special First Company said in surprise. And Zhou Dabang also felt that this name really deserves a beating.
But at this time, the situation was very bad. They were surrounded by Japanese soldiers. The reason why the Japs didn't take action was probably because they didn't want to fight them desperately when their troops were completely overwhelming them.
And sure enough, the Thousand-Hand Major, holding a sword in his hand, said majestically: "China people, don't make fearless resistance, your number is less than eighty. But our number is four hundred, a full Five times as much as you. Put down your weapons, and our Imperial Japanese Army will treat the prisoners preferentially."
"What are you pretending to be, little devil? I have ten times the strength of your troops."
Before the Thousand-Handed Japs finished speaking, a playful laugh came from behind him, followed by the sound of a large number of running people. More than 4,000 people surrounded the entire forest.
The little devils were all confused. They originally thought they would defeat the Chinese soldiers, but they didn't want the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind. They were surrounded by Chinese troops.
So arriving early is worse than arriving by chance. If there weren't too many things happening on Yushan Mountain, the Dragon Boat Festival would have arrived two hours earlier. But it happened to happen to him.
When they were approaching the three-way intersection, the scouts discovered traces of the Japanese and quickly went back to report. So Duanwu and his people arrived in time, otherwise Zhou Da Bang would have suffered a big loss today. Everyone has to stay in the woods.
Duanwu limped in front, leaning on his iconic 38-type rifle on crutches. He gave the little devil a charming smile and said, "Either die, or kneel down and surrender, hahaha!"
"Baga, our Imperial Japanese Army will not surrender."
Qianju Major drew his sword and looked like he was going to duel with Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu spread his hands helplessly and opened his arms. At this moment, all the soldiers opened fire on the Japanese.
The little devil also wanted to bayonet Duanwu and others, because the distance between the two sides was not even ten meters. But the Chinese suddenly opened fire. They barely had time to resist, and more than half of them died in the random shooting of the other party.
A few of the Japs standing behind thought of shooting, but unexpectedly their backs were hit by bullets early, and they fell to the ground vomiting blood. It turns out that they overlooked one thing, there are enemies behind them!
As a result, more than 400 Japanese soldiers were besieged by more than 4,000 people, and the battle ended in less than thirty seconds.
The 174th Division, the 1st Guard Company, the 1st Temporary Brigade, etc. all suffered a small number of casualties. But compared with the annihilation of the Japanese army, it pales in comparison.
Zhu Shengzhong was cleaning the battlefield and found a living person. He was about to shoot the Japanese in the head again, but Duanwu shouted: "Wait!"
"Tanzuo, what's the use of keeping this devil? Why don't you let me kill him. Hehe!"
Zhu Shengzhong chuckled, but Duanwu asked: "This group of ghosts is strange, where is this place? This is the Sanchakou, why are there ghosts, don't you find it strange?"
"oh oh!"
Zhu Shengzhong suddenly understood, then he gave the injured Japanese a kick, kicked him over, and cursed: "Little Japanese, you just say whatever our group asks you, otherwise humiliate!"
Zhu Shengzhong threatened, but the little devil didn't understand at all and just glared at Zhu Shengzhong. Maybe he was thinking about how to kill the Chinese in front of him.
Of course, he won't have this opportunity. Zhu Shengzhong and another soldier had already searched all the weapons on his body, and then pressed him in front of Duanwu.
Duanwu asked in Japanese: "What are you doing at Sanchakou?"
"snort!"
The little devil was very arrogant and turned his face to one side.
"What the hell, our group is asking you a question. How dare you show off? I'll take off your arm first."
Zhu Shengzhong was never merciful to the Japanese. He twisted his arms with a click and dislocated the Japanese's arm.
"Ah! Ah!..."
The Japanese howled like a killing pig and shouted loudly: "Kill me, our Imperial Japanese Army will never surrender."
Zhu Shengzhong didn't understand and asked, "What did the leader say?"
Duanwu translated: "He said he would not give in."
"What the hell, I'll take off one of your arms again."
Zhu Shengzhong cursed and even took action. He was the best at doing this kind of thing. But at this time Duanwu waved his hand at him. Then he squatted down and said to the Japanese soldier: "I can understand your mood. As a soldier, it is your obligation and responsibility not to reveal military secrets. But I did not ask about your serial number, the unit you belong to, and how many combat personnel you have. .I'm just asking you about the purpose of your trip.
There is always a purpose in fighting, right? Just tell me what you are doing here. Then I'll give you a good one, otherwise they'll keep torturing you. You have to say it in the end. "
The little devil lowered his head, feeling the pain from the gunshot on his arm and abdomen. He gritted his teeth and said: "It's nothing to tell you Chinese people. Your Wufu line can't be defended. We are here to cut off your retreat." of."
Duanwu asked: "Where did you come from?"
The little devil smiled proudly and said: "We came by water, your defense line has been broken, the Wufu line cannot be defended, hahaha!"
"very good!"
Duan Wu said something very good, and then said to Zhu Shengzhong: "Send him on his way!"
"Okay!"
Zhu Shengzhong responded, then twisted the little devil's neck with both hands, and the devil went back to see their Amaterasu.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan said: "Tuanzu, what is the situation?"
Duanwu sighed and said: "The thing I was most worried about happened. The defense of the troops along Kuncheng Lake was weak, and the Japanese army penetrated in. Originally, I thought that after defeating the Chongteng detachment in the Yushan battle, I could return to the defense. Otherwise, I would let the special Why did you rush to Sanchakou in advance? Just to be wary of the Japanese and prepare for our reinforcements.
But he didn't want the Botian detachment to arrive as reinforcements. This caught us off guard. Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise the 44th Division, 98th Division, etc. would have suffered heavy losses. "
Xie Jinyuan asked: "Tuanzuo, what should we do?"
Duanwu said: "Block the hole first. Once the three forks are cut off by the enemy, the 44th Division, 98th Division, 13th Division, etc. will be in danger."
"Report to the delegation, the chairman's office is calling."
At this moment, the signal soldier came to report.
"read!"
Duanwu signaled, and the signal corpsman quickly read: "The defenses of the Xicheng Line have been prepared, and all the defenders of the Wufu Line are retreating in stages. Duanwu, the leader of the independent regiment of the Nanjing garrison, will return to Nanjing immediately, without any mistake."
"Retreat is nothing. I'm going to withdraw. What will happen to the 44th Division, the 98th Division, and the 13th Division?"
Duanwu said calmly, and then ordered the communication soldier: "Return the call to Lao Yang. The Japanese army has penetrated into Sanchakou and wants to cut off our army's retreat. Duanwu, the leader of the independent regiment of the Nanjing garrison, cannot withdraw on time unless he does not want those three divisions."
"yes!"
The signal trooper was ordered to retreat. At this time, Xie Jinyuan said: "Tuan Zuo, what are we going to do next?"
"Ask the temporary first brigade to go to the direction of Kuncheng Lake to meet the 98th Division and the 13th Division. Let Zhao Dahu of the 174th Division and the 1st Guard Company go to Changshu to meet the 44th Division. Tell them not to advance rashly. The main task is to meet these three divisions and retreat. Arrive at Sanchakou. The rest will build fortifications on the spot. Prepare to stop the Japanese army."
"yes!"
Xie Jinyuan took the order and went to deliver the Dragon Boat Festival order.
At this time, Dragon Boat Festival found wounded soldiers from the Independent Regiment, 174th Division and other units.
Duanwu solemnly said: "Brothers, we are going to fight again. It is not safe here. And there are no troops to escort you now. In this way, those who are slightly injured can go by themselves. Those who are seriously injured can take a car. Each of you carries a gun, just in case. , do you understand everything?"
"clear!"
All wounded soldiers responded, and then helped each other get into the car in an orderly manner, or left on foot.
Seeing this, Duanwu felt a little relieved, at least he wouldn't have to send anyone to take care of the wounded during the fight.
Duanwu turned around and went back, preparing to find a place to dig trenches. There was no good location to block an attack in the plain area, and without trenches, no matter how many people there were, there wouldn't be enough to die.
Therefore, this location must be carefully considered during the Dragon Boat Festival.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, Zhou Dabang came running over, smiling playfully.
Duanwu scolded: "You old thing, I have said less and you are living here? Do you want me to visit your grave today next year?"
Zhou Da Bang held his hands tightly: "Thank you, everyone, for saving my life. Thank you, everyone!"
"Go away, if you are so stupid next time, I won't collect your body and will let you lie in the wilderness waiting to be fed to wild dogs."
Duan Wu cursed and had nothing nice to say to Zhou Da Bang. What an old lampstand that never dies. He scolds every day.
But Zhou Dabang liked this, and he felt comfortable being scolded. He had been raped by Dragon Boat Festival since he left Sihang Warehouse, and he is still working harder and harder now.
Zhou Dabang was smiling playfully with Dragon Boat Festival, but he didn't expect Xie Jinyuan to run back again and asked for instructions: "Regiment leader, Wei Yong of the third battalion was seriously injured and was sent down for treatment. Who should be taken care of by the third battalion? There is going to be a war. , Can’t the third battalion be leaderless?”
Duanwu thought for a while and said: "Temporarily merge the third battalion into the first battalion. There are not many people in the first battalion. The battalion commander Sun Shiyu is from Sichuan. They are easy to talk to, so let the Sichuan army follow him. I don't think those Sichuan army brothers will say anything. What.
The second battalion is like that for the time being, and the other three special agent companies are also the same.
Tell Sun Shiyu that after the three battalions were merged into the first battalion, they had the largest number of people and they could only be the main force. The second battalion cooperated with them.
The first, second and third companies of special agents serve as mobile units.
The position is located on the west side of Sanchakou Highway. There is no high ground here, so we can only take risks and defend here.
Fighting on the plains is not good for us. The only advantage is that we have this forest as cover when we retreat.
let,......"
Duanwu said yield, and seeing that Zhou Dabang was still beside him, he had no choice but to pat Zhou Dabang on the shoulder and said: "Take your people and drive the car one kilometer away. Once our war is unfavorable, we can take the vehicle Turn into."
"clear!"
Zhou Dabang took the order and drove away with the people. There were still supplies in the car. These supplies could not be lost. Zhou Dabang left the driver to watch and also hid the car in the woods to avoid being discovered by enemy reconnaissance planes.
Meanwhile, Duanwu sat on the edge of the road and watched the soldiers dig trenches.
Duanwu said: "Dig a main trench. Just dig along the road. The soil should be raised in front and towards the back, mainly on the back slope."
A young Sichuan soldier, who looked younger than the Dragon Boat Festival, asked childishly: "Tuanzuo, why doesn't this soil move to the front, why does it move to the back?"
Duanwu took out a stone and threw it behind Xiaochuan Jun, and asked, "Do you understand?"
Ogawa Jun was confused, but at this time Sun Shiyu cursed: "Guawazi, the trenches we used before were all wrong. In previous battles, the soil was raised to the front, and the back was ignored. Why?
That's because in previous battles, our enemy's artillery shells landed on the front slope at most, and some enemies even had no artillery at all.
But fighting against the Japanese is different. The Japanese have not only mountain artillery, howitzers, cannons, but also mortars and aircraft.
Especially for mortars, the shells will fall on our position in a parabola.
Therefore, all the soil has been raised to the front slope, and the mortars of the Japs will be ineffective when encountering them. Do you understand? "
"Oh, oh! Battalion Commander, you are so awesome."
Ogawajun said in admiration. At this time, Sun Shiyu scolded: "You melon boy, it's not me who is great, it's Tuan Zuo who is great."
Ogawa Jun quickly changed his words: "The battalion commander and regimental commander are both powerful."
At this time, Duanwu smiled secretly: "This battalion commander of the Sichuan Army has found the right person. The Sichuan Army all obeys Sun Shiyu, which is a good thing."
But at this time, the rumbling sound of artillery in the distance made Duanwu very worried. Whether the 44th Division, 98th Division, and 13th Division could safely withdraw! ...
