Half an hour later, with the exception of the first battalion, artillery battalion, supply battalion, small artillery company, special agent company, and guard platoon, all the other military chiefs were in place. Zhang Tianhai announced the official battle. Order.
Defensive location, Zhangshan.
The first battalion is the main position, with the second and fourth battalions as the left and right wings respectively, forming an arc-shaped defensive position on the mountainside of Zhangshan; the top of Zhangshan is the artillery position of the artillery battalion and small artillery company; the cavalry As the mobile force of the regiment, the battalion is equipped with a mobile communications squad, responsible for garrisoning the West Gaohuang Temple and supporting the main defensive position at any time; the third battalion, the main infantry force, serves as the general reserve team; the mortar company directly under the regiment headquarters strengthens the defense of the main position; After completing the task of assisting the artillery battalion and small artillery company to go up the mountain, the special agent company and guard platoon accepted the direct command of the regiment headquarters; the military police company formed a wartime supervision team based on ranked units and separated the battalions on the main position.
After accepting the mission, each battalion and company immediately began to take action. Under Zhang Tianhai's order, the war machine of the Zhiyi Regiment has been slowly started!
Group after group of Central Military Commission officers and soldiers, under the command of the platoon commander and company commander, began to advance into the Zhangshan position.
What was different from usual was that when the officers and soldiers of the Zhiyi Regiment entered the mountain, they did not light torches, but took advantage of the moonlight to illuminate them and went in directly. For no other reason than fear of alarming the enemy, they did not dare to attack Zhangshan.
This order was specially issued by Zhang Tianhai. Since the Japanese army wanted to enter Zhangshan and entered in a hurry, they must have been too late to conduct a large amount of reconnaissance.
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai wanted to start from this point, in order to severely damage the Japanese army from the beginning. By the time the Japanese army found out that Zhangshan had fallen into the hands of others, they might have been too late to capture Zhangshan. , the pursuers of Tang Enbo's army were already about to surround him.
Generally speaking, it is still Zhang Tianhai's previous combat style - winning in danger.
Not only that, he also located the regiment headquarters closest to the main position of the first battalion.
That night, Zhang Tianhai's headquarters of the first regiment directly under the third theater had been busy all night, and finally completed the entire regiment's mission into the mountains.
It was also in the middle of the night that the main force of the Japanese army trapped in Taierzhuang finally tore a gap from the main position of the 52nd Army of the National Army, and expanded the gap. The main force of the Japanese army protruded from the gap to encircle the circle, and then quickly Turn toward Yixian County.
After the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Commander confirmed that the main force of the Isoya Division would open a gap and retreat from the 52nd Army's position, not only the main force of Tang Enbo's Army launched a pursuit and fierce attack on the Japanese army from south to north, but also Sun Lianzhong's Second Army also came out of the city and marched hand in hand with Tang Enbo's army to pursue the Japanese army.
However, what was unexpected was that the main force of the Japanese army had already arrived at Zhangshan before dawn.
And they were killed shortly after Zhang Tianhai's regiment headquarters was set up.
This group of enemy troops bypassed Lanling Town, the county seat of Lanling County, and then fled towards the enemy. It frightened Gu Shi'an, deputy commander of Lanling City Defense, thinking that the Japanese army was going to attack Lanling County.
After seeing Tang Enbo's army pursuing the Japanese army, Gu Shi'an boldly ordered his two city defense battalions, who had just learned how to carry guns, to go out of the city to pursue them.
It has to be said that Gu Shi'an's move was very bold. If the Japanese army killed a carbine, the city defense battalion who had just learned how to hold a gun and stayed behind to defend the city would not necessarily need a large Japanese army to invade the city before it collapsed. , even if the Japanese army used a burst of 15-generation heavy howitzers to bombard the city defense of Lanling County, it would be possible for the city defense camp to collapse, or even blow up the camp.
The camera returns to Zhangshan.
The deer mountains in the darkness are rolling and rolling, but they are not like those in the primeval forests in the south. After all, these are just a few hills standing on the plains thousands of miles away. They are a bit abrupt and not very high.
Its location is dangerous mainly because there are no other higher landmark peaks in Yixian County except Jiuding Mountain, Zhangshan Mountain, Tianzhu Mountain and Baishan Mountain.
For this unobstructed plain, these peaks must be the commanding heights, natural observation posts for the artillery, and can extend and enlarge the range of the artillery.
Thanks to Zhang Tianhai's remaining memory and his understanding of the terrain of the war, this is why he focused on fortifying this area of Zhangshan, even if the Zhiyi Regiment may face redeployment at any time. , it was still necessary to draw out a main battalion of troops to fortify the Zhangshan area.
Ichiro Ozawa is an ordinary lieutenant squadron leader of the 10th Regiment of the 33rd Brigade (brigade commander Kei Setani) under the Isotani Rensuke Division.
Ozawai Ichiro is not very tall, only 1.68 meters tall, but he has a thick body.
At this time, Ichiro Ozawa was no longer as calm and arrogant as before. At this time, he was busy running for his life. To be more precise, he was running for his life with a goal and purpose.
Long before the breakout, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Akashiba Yaezo, summoned the surviving officers of the 10th Regiment and held a relatively brief military operations meeting.
At the military meeting, in addition to announcing the breakout order issued by the division commander Lieutenant General Isotani Rensuke, they were also informed that the remaining main force of the 10th Regiment should be combined with the remaining main force of the Sato Regiment of the 110th Division. March towards Zhangshan and assign an additional artillery squadron.
The main force of the two regiments sounds like a lot of people, but don't forget, they are the remnants. The total of the main force of the two regiments is only more than 2,800 people, and they can only be found after adding an artillery squadron. Number of people.
As we all know, the artillery force is the only one among the military services that does not have to go to the front line to fight with the enemy's front-line troops, so their personnel are relatively sufficient.
In other words, more than 100 artillery troops were included among the more than 2,800 people.
It was still dark at this time, and Ichiro Ozawa had been running. After all, he was escaping for his life. If he ran a little slower, he would be killed by the Chinese army chasing after him. At that time, he would not even be alive. .
"Ganba Daddy (hold on), brothers, Zhangshan is just ahead!" As the commander of the road opening force, Ozawai Ichiro was leading the charge.
The hazy back of the Zhangshan Mountain in the darkness gradually appeared in front of everyone. This scene gave the running Japanese soldiers a lot of hope. After all, the Zhangshan Mountain looked pitch black and did not look like anything. It looks like someone is stationed there.
This should be attributed to Zhang Tianhai's order that everyone was not allowed to light torches. If they found fire on the mountain, they might head directly to the county seat of Yi County where the Japanese troops retreated.
"Say, Kudaijiji (charge, brothers)!!" Ozawai Ichiro was shouting and rushing forward dragging his tired and heavy body. He seemed to want to give these Japanese soldiers who were at the end of their battle. Inject a bit of a shot in the arm.
However, contrary to expectations, his shout seemed to have no effect. Instead, it gave a big wake-up call to the national army on Zhangshan Mountain.
That's right, it was a big wake-up call.
Inside this mountain, everything was dark and very quiet. It could be said that except for the sound of engineering shovels on the top of the mountain, there were almost no other sounds.
As the Japanese army approached Zhangshan, not only did they move in a chaotic manner, but they also had these grassroots officers of the Japanese army screaming and cheering for the soldiers.
This burst of shouting was meant to kill people, it was too abrupt, and it was obviously in Japanese!
