The reason why the 125th Division ambush in the fish intestines in advance is naturally related to the Dragon Boat Festival.
The 125th Division was ordered to attack Liutaizi Village in order to rescue Tang Jiujiu.
With Tang Jiujiu's status, even Li Zhongren would not be able to survive if he was caught by the Japanese.
Therefore, Li Zhongren did not dare to neglect this.
He ordered the 125th Division to quickly reinforce, but they were a step too late. When they got in touch with Duanwu, Duanwu had already ordered Lao Abacus to lead people to break out to the southeast. Because at that time, Duanwu was coming from the southeast with the cavalry battalion.
Of course, the return to the Dragon Boat Festival was not smooth sailing, and they encountered the Takahashi United Team on the way.
And it was at this time that Duanwu thought of one thing, which was to dig a hole for the Japanese.
It's not easy for a little devil to come, and it's even harder to go so stupidly deep.
If he let people go so easily, Danwu would feel that it was a waste of natural resources and disrespectful to the Imperial Japanese Army.
Therefore, Duanwu contacted Li Zhongren and got the exact news from Li Zhongren that the 125th Division was rushing to help.
Then during the Dragon Boat Festival, I contacted the 125th Division and asked them where they were. Commander Chen of the 125th Division said: They are still about ten kilometers away from Liutaizi Village.
Duanwu immediately ordered them not to move after arriving at the fish intestines. They set up an ambush in the fish intestines and launched an attack on the Japanese army from the east and west sides. And everything must be ordered by his signal flare.
Master Chen naturally obeyed. Although Commander Chen of the 125th Division has never seen the Dragon Boat Festival. But the name of Dragon Boat Festival was like thunder to his ears. Coupled with the boldness and generosity of the Dragon Boat Festival, this Sichuan man admired him greatly.
So after the Dragon Boat Festival order was issued, he led two infantry brigades to ambush on the east and west sides of the fish intestine.
In fact, this location is not very suitable for an ambush, because the fish intestines run north to south, which is about five kilometers long, with a flat river.
The distance from east to west is about 1.5 kilometers.
In other words, Commander Chen's ambush must be at least 700 to 800 meters away from the Japanese in the middle of the road. At this distance, let alone a rifle, even a machine gun would find it difficult to hit the enemy.
Otherwise, Kazukuma Takahashi would not have looked at the terrain and determined that there would be no ambush in Yuguang.
Because this place is really not suitable for an ambush unless his enemy is crazy.
So Takahashi Kazuma ordered the vanguard troops to bite the enemy, and at the same time ordered the remaining troops to rush towards the fish intestines quickly.
When the Japanese officers of the Japanese vanguard force saw the Dragon Boat Festival stopped, they ordered the troops to advance slowly.
Of course, it wasn't that the Japanese commander saw through Duanwu's plan, but that he was afraid of scaring away the enemy in front of him.
The commanders of the Japanese vanguard believed that their enemies stayed behind to cover their wounded soldiers. Then these people will not escape in a short time.
He wants to slowly advance his troops to bring the opponent into his effective range.
And the most important point is that Captain Takahashi has not arrived yet, the reinforcements have just entered the fish intestines, and they are still at least three kilometers away.
This distance is not too far, but it is not too close either. If their enemy fled again after engaging in a firefight with them, an endless pursuit would be waiting for them. After all, the opponent was a cavalry unit, while the Takahashi Regiment was only an infantry unit.
Letting the infantry chase the cavalry would be unrealistic even if you think about it with your buttocks.
Fortunately, there are infantry among the cavalry, and there are also wounded soldiers.
Otherwise, at this time, the commander of the Japanese vanguard force would definitely advise Takahashi that this would be a meaningless pursuit.
So the Japanese commander ordered that all Japanese soldiers were not allowed to fire at will. He had to push his troops to a position less than a hundred meters away from the enemy and then fire at the same time, so as to annihilate the enemy's effective strength to the maximum extent.
Moreover, he felt that he might have seen the Chinese madman.
Although he didn't know Duanwu, he guessed that this person was Duanwu from his position in the cavalry camp, his age, and the fact that he was wearing a Japanese Shaozuo uniform.
In this regard, the Japanese commander sighed very much. He really couldn't believe that so many elites of the Japanese Empire died in the hands of a Chinese kid.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with what the Japanese commander said. Because he is thirty-two years old, but he is just a squadron leader.
So compared with the Dragon Boat Festival, he really felt that he had wasted his years.
The Japanese commander put down his telescope and allowed the Japanese convoy to approach slowly. Because as long as that Dragon Boat Festival doesn't leave, he can already predict the outcome of today's battle.
Dragon Boat Festival will die under the gun of his Imperial Japanese Army. As long as he shortens the distance between the two to one hundred meters and spreads out his convoy, 90% of the enemy's cavalry will not be able to escape his Imperial Japanese Army. of machine gun fire.
Thinking of this, the commander of the Japs vanguard showed a sly smile.
He only waited until he was within a hundred meters of the Chinese cavalry and ordered the entire army to open fire.
However, this little devil had a good idea, but little did he know that he had already entered the artillery coverage of the 125th Division.
For the convenience of command, Commander Chen concentrated the entire artillery battalion, including the artillery in the two brigades, on the west side of the fish intestine.
There are no less than twenty artillery pieces of various types in total.
Commander Chen ordered that these more than twenty artillery pieces must kill the little devil's iron bastard.
This is a death order, and Commander Chen issued an order regardless of the cost.
For the Sichuan Army, this is simply unprecedented. There are more than twenty artillery pieces of various types, and the total total is less than a hundred rounds. But Master Chen issued an order regardless of the cost.
The artillerymen were all laughing, because after this battle, the artillery force would probably be disbanded. After all, each of the more than 20 artillery pieces could not even receive five shells on average. Even if it is half a base, all the shells will be used.
But at this time, no one would question Master Chen's order. Because they also knew that the all-powerful Chinese lunatic was in the cavalry camp.
In the Sichuan Legion, not only these high-level officers have a good impression of Dragon Boat Festival, but also the Sichuan troops.
Since leaving Sichuan, it can be said that they have been looked down upon everywhere. But only the young commissioner Duanwu did not regard them as a burden but as beggars.
Therefore, in response to the high expectations of the Dragon Boat Festival, these Sichuan Army brothers also secretly made up their minds to make this battle a success no matter what.
All the artillery had been aimed and the shells were loaded. They only waited for the Dragon Boat Festival signal flare to take off before launching an artillery attack on the Japanese army.
At the same time, the two regiments of the 125th Division had moved to the south side of the fish intestine, blocking the entrance to the fish intestine.
Because today, none of these devils who entered the fish intestines can escape! .......
