"idiot!"
When Akashiba Yaezo received the message from Kitashirakawa Wash, he was so angry that he said "Baga".
Because it was obvious that Kitashirakawarai's intention was to use his 10th Regiment as cannon fodder.
It's a lice on a bald man's head, it's obvious.
After Akashiba Yaezo found out that the situation of the battle was unfavorable to him, he sent a message to Kitashirakawa and requested to withdraw from the battle.
However, Kitashirakawa's call back did not care about the life and death of his 10th Regiment. Instead, he asked his 10th Regiment to hold off the Dragon Boat Festival Independent Regiment at Laoye Ridge.
How to delay this? After losing artillery and a large amount of heavy firepower, the only two brigades used light weapons to stick to the No. 3 highland of Laoye Ridge. Are you waiting to be eaten by the other party?
Akashiba Yaezo had experienced the artillery fire of the Dragon Boat Festival Independence Regiment. When the artillery of the Independent Regiment opened fire in full force, one of his brigade was almost completely submerged in the fierce fire and smoke.
And if it weren't for the fact that there was only one regiment in the Dragon Boat Festival, he even thought that the one who attacked him would be an artillery regiment.
Therefore, before, Akashiba Yaezo did not believe that his enemy only had one regiment. Because if the enemy force has the vitality of an artillery regiment, then his opponent should have at least a brigade of troops.
However, the intelligence from Bengbu kept emphasizing that there was only one regiment in the Dragon Boat Festival. Let Akashi Yaezo be sure to withstand it.
So Chichai Yaezo resisted, but after the battle this morning, he completely understood that these scammers in Bengbu were indeed a trap.
The strength of the two reorganized brigades he had been tricked into was gone, and he had to stay and fight off the last two brigades at hand.
Although Laoye Ridge No. 3 Highland is located on a traffic artery, it can be attacked, retreated or defended. But at this time it became a stopgap measure.
If Akashiba Yaezo's troops are still at full strength, he will lead his troops to occupy the No. 3 Highland, which is indeed both offensive and defensive.
But at this time, his strength was only half of what it was before, and he still had to defend three positions. This was simply too far-fetched for him.
What's more, his enemy has the firepower of an artillery regiment. With the few people he has now, I'm afraid it won't take more than two hours for them all to be buried in Laoye Ridge.
He had seen the firepower and combat capabilities of the independent regiment. Someone once said that Dragon Boat Festival is a madman. But he felt that the entire Dragon Boat Festival group was crazy. Thousands of people charging together felt ridiculous to him just thinking about it. Because if there wasn't something wrong with the commander's mind, who would dare to easily use thousands of people to charge collectively?
Today is not the age of cold weapons. Thousands or tens of thousands of people charge and then bump into each other to fight.
In modern warfare, artillery, machine guns, heavy machine guns, and various high-destructive weapons abound.
Charge in this situation unless the commander's brain is rusty.
But Dragon Boat Festival did exactly that. But the strangest thing is that he succeeded. His troops, Akashiba Yaezo, could not stop the opponent's madman-like charge, which directly led to the complete destruction of his two brigades in Laoye Ridge.
It was because he ran fast. Otherwise, how would he, Akashiba Yaezo, have the chance to stand on Highland 3?
What should I do now? He originally planned to gather his troops on Highland No. 3, explain the situation to Bengbu, and then retreat in steps.
But now, Bengbu doesn't care about their life or death at all. He was also asked to stand firm and wait for reinforcements from the 26th Brigade.
And if the 26th Brigade could come, I'm afraid they would have come long ago. Last night, he sent a telegram to the 26th Brigade.
The 26th Brigade's reply was that they were fighting a Chinese armed force of unknown origin. The opponent's firepower was very fierce and very cunning. They attacked them several times, but they could not surround the opponent at all. And to put it bluntly, the Japanese 26th Brigade suffered more casualties than Akashiba Yaezo. They were also looking for reinforcements everywhere, so how could they divide their forces to rescue Akashiba Yaezo's 10th Regiment?
Akashiba Yaezo is not a fool. If he can't understand such a point, then there is no need for him to be the captain of the alliance.
But what should he do at this moment? Are you going to disobey Prince Beibai's order? I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to do this even if he had the courage to do so.
Therefore, the top priority is to hold on and hope that Prince Beibai's order will work and that the Imperial Army from the 26th Brigade can be mobilized for reinforcements.
But little did Akashi Yaezo know that his last hope might be dashed. Because at this time, it was not only Zhou Weiguo's 522nd Regiment that was fighting the Japanese 26th Brigade, but also the independent regiment of the Hutoushan Army of the Eighth Route Army, and a brigade of the 115th Division.
The relationship between Dragon Boat Festival and the 115th Division is very good. From the division headquarters to the brigade headquarters, there is no one who does not praise Dragon Boat Festival.
And especially with the addition of Zhang Renjie, he would always praise everyone he met during the Dragon Boat Festival for his wisdom and his sharp eyesight to recognize heroes.
Zhang Renjie is a character in the film and television drama Snow Leopard.
He was originally a special commissioner sent by his superiors to work in Hutou Mountain, but unfortunately he only had theoretical knowledge and no practical experience. As soon as he arrived at the base area, he eagerly asked to lead the team to fight.
Originally, Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu had planned a small ambush battle with a guaranteed chance of victory and almost zero losses, but Zhang Renjie took the initiative to lead the team and took him with them. However, Zhang Renjie was so happy with his achievements that he blindly and arrogantly commanded them, causing a lot of damage in vain. casualties.
After the battle, Zhou Weiguo lost his temper with Zhang Renjie, and the two of them formed a knot.
Later, when Jun Takeshita led a commando to raid Yangcun, political commissar Li Yong died in order to cover the transfer of the radio station and confidential personnel Zhang Xiangfu into the tunnel. In grief, Zhou Weiguo began to reorganize the team. At this time, due to the vacancy of the political commissar position, superiors appointed Zhang Renjie as the replacement political commissar of the Hutoushan Independent Regiment.
As soon as Zhang Renjie took office, he immediately carried out the "rescue campaign" of the Hutoushan Independent Regiment in accordance with the instructions of his superiors.
The so-called "rescue campaign" refers to the strict investigation of traitors who have sneaked into the revolutionary base areas and the purification of traitors and traitors within the party.
Zhang Renjie segregated the cadres of the regiment in batches and conducted separate inspections. Finally, it came to the heads of regiment leader Zhou Weiguo and deputy regiment leader Xu Hu. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the cadre review work, Zhang Renjie seconded a special cadre review team from his superiors to be responsible for guarding the cadres. Persons subject to investigation.
When Zhou Weiguo was furious when he was isolated for investigation, Zhang Renjie retorted: "Zhou Weiguo, do you think it's still time for you to start a one-story house? Am I afraid of you? Let me tell you, the regiment headquarters is now surrounded by party members. Pure revolutionary warrior under your command! You’d better explain your own problems as soon as possible, okay?”
Later, Zhou Weiguo was sent down again by his superiors (Qiu Ming, the former head of the Hutoushan Independent Regiment) who was ordered to rehabilitate him, stop interrogation, and resume his original post. Zhang Renjie, who was asked to return to the military division for review, was ambushed by Takeshita Jun's special forces on the way. Captured.
After arriving at the Japanese military headquarters, Zhang Renjie would rather die than surrender in the face of coercion, inducement and torture. Under the ridicule of the Japanese commander, he learned that Zhou Weiguo's father, Mr. Zhou Jixian, whom he had always mistaken for a traitor, was an anti-Japanese comrade who contributed to both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
Finally, before Zhang Renjie was shot to death by the Japanese army, he looked up to the sky and screamed: "Zhou Weiguo, I'm sorry for you."
Therefore, Zhang Renjie is not essentially a bad person.
Of course, he is not a smart person. The principles he adheres to are good, but when he talks about them to death, he becomes a bastard.
As for Zhou Weiguo, he usually rarely talks and would just laugh it off when something happened. So he can't deal with people like Zhang Renjie.
But Zhang Renjie was a piece of cake in front of Duanwu. Duanwu only said a few nice words, but he said that he could not find the north. In the 115th Division, he strongly supported and cooperated with Duanwu in this battle.
This was in line with the wishes of the two commanders of the 115th Division, so the 115th Division mobilized a brigade from each department to cooperate with the Dragon Boat Festival operation.
So if the little devil wants to eat the Dragon Boat Festival, I'm afraid they really don't have such good teeth!
