The twenty-eighth chapter Guixi fierce battle (4)

Captain Muteng and the remaining 400 Japanese soldiers were compressed to a corner of the river bank. Facing more than 2,000 national troops traveling and unknown exact number of bandit armed forces, the Grandmaster Muteng was desperate. He sighed like a great enlightenment: "Hey! It turns out that China's military strategy is just used to deceive the Japanese. Hey!"

Especially under the personal command of Muteng, five hundred Japanese soldiers jumped into the river collectively. Without spending a single shot and an ammunition from the flying troops, more than five hundred Japanese with strong combat power disappeared without a trace. A series of strikes made the old Miteng Japanese who had self-supported and strategy left behind, and fell into a crazy situation.

"Master!" A sergeant beside Muteng said loudly and seriously, "Master! Please calm down! In fact, the Chinese are also using Chinese military tactics. Let Dou Teng shout with a loud horn, which is to use the word "being surrounded by enemies". Now we are backed by the rapids of Guixi, and all the officers and soldiers are fighting to the death to the last person. In this case, it is still in line with the art of war."

"Oh! Are you?" Medori was too lazy to see this person who dared to teach his superiors a lesson.

"Hayi! I am the military commander Kawano Yohei."

"Hehe! What do you know? When it comes to military tactics, we have just learned some basics. And this land is the birthplace of these military tactics. The Chinese people use the "Ancestral Secret Recipe" (Chinese), and I think there is a word that can be described as...pirated!"

"Master Medo, we don't want to know what the word 'pirated' means. We just understand that you are no longer suitable to be the head of this brigade. From now on, I will accept the command."

Medo did not argue anything, and regardless of who the person he spoke later, he sat down on a stone and returned to his silence.

"Strengthen the defense. Use radio to contact nearby friendly forces immediately and ask for support. We will definitely persist until reinforcements arrive." The commander of the new Medog Brigade did not have much fun, his ideas were simple, but he had some practical effects.

Youfei's 259th Brigade and the bandits and kids of all sizes all launched wave after wave of attacks on the Japanese huddled by the river. Both sides suffered casualties, and the absolute advantage of troops did not have the absolute advantage in front of the Japanese.

After looking at it for a while, You Fei scolded: "Damn. The peaches are ripe, why can't they pick them? Boss Dong, what are you going to do?"

"My solution is that we have thousands of people rushing up together, and there are only a few hundred people left in the Japanese! We will also stomp him to death!"

"Intensive charge! Intensive charge is not possible. The casualties will be unimaginable, similar to suicide. Even if the Japanese are destroyed, there will be not many people." You Fei denied Dong Tianhao's idea.

He Tianhao said: "I have a way, it's too time-consuming. We are too crowded! We can do this..."

Before He Tianhao could finish his words, You Fei and Dong Tianhao said in unison, "Hi!" and You Fei said excitedly: "That's it! It's time-consuming, we're not afraid! Let Liefeng, Qingyun and Jiuzi everywhere send some familiar people to the border of the enemy-occupied area to look at it. If a devil comes, just get the news in time."

The attacks of the Chinese army on the front of the Japanese were not very tight, and there were very few soldiers rushing forward, most of them fired from afar. On the river bank, a long time later, a shell would be fired and landed in the area where the Japanese were densely packed with firepower. The Japanese still did not have any advantage, but the Japanese soldiers were infected with a joyful mood from top to bottom. As long as they did not die soon, reinforcements should come soon! It seems that the Chinese army wanted to slowly consume the Japanese personnel with few shells, which was exactly what the Japanese wanted!

The 259th Brigade was engaged in a direct war of attrition, and at the same time, the two teams rushed towards the upper and lower reaches of Guixi respectively.

The troops that are moving upstream are to find a favorable position and then inform more people to work.

The troops going downstream are going to inform the people that we trapped the Japanese and needed to flood the ghosts. It is better for the people living by the river to hide first.

The troops going upstream had not heard back yet, and the team that went downstream to inform the people of evacuation ran back first. A soldier hurriedly arrived in front of Youfei with an old man on his back. Before the old man stood firm, he shouted at Youfei, who looked like an official, and said, "You can't block the river! You can't block it! You can't block it at all!"

"Oh? Tell me slowly! We haven't found the right place yet!"

"Hi! Sir, you don't know! The Guixi River is not easy to handle. How can the Japanese who are drowned on the very flat river bank? After the flooding, the water will go there? Have you ever thought about it?"

"This..." You Fei couldn't answer.

"Well! Listen to me! There is no wide river channel near the upper reaches of this section of the river that can store water. If you go upstream, you will reach the county border with several small hills. If you block there, you will not know where to rush to! But there is no way. You can plan accurately and dig a straight and shallow backflow channel to achieve your goal. Of course, to prevent the river from flooding unexpectedly, you must also build a simple river embankment according to the flow direction. Do you know where to repair these things?"

You Fei answered honestly: "I don't know!" He didn't expect that borrowing some river water would be so complicated.

"Hahaha!" The old man closed his eyes, smiled proudly, and then slowly said something surprising: "I don't know how to do it!"

"Ah? Then you are..." You Fei curled his lips and swallowed the last half of the sentence. He thought to himself, aren't you playing with me?

"Sir, don't be surprised! I'm always out of my mind. My granddaughter went to college in Nanjing and majored in water conservancy, but she couldn't do it in this chaos. She came to pick me up to her parents in Chongqing. As a result, she was trapped in this place where the Japanese were everywhere. I was still thinking about how to send her to the rear. Who knew that I could just help kill the Japanese. Sir, don't underestimate her a girl, she's so smart!"

You Fei patiently listened to the old man's nagging, and finally it was his turn to speak. He asked anxiously: "Where is your granddaughter now? Why didn't you see her?"

"My granddaughter may have done it. When she was free, she ran up and down the Guixi River. I don't know how many times she has run. You listened to her this time, that's right."

I don’t know if the old man had bad ears or he deliberately made Youfei anxious. Anyway, he just didn’t answer Youfei’s words, and he just kept talking about his own pleasure. A soldier next to him couldn’t see it, interrupted him and said to Youfei: “Report to the brigade commander, Miss Xie Yuchen has come together, and now he goes to the river to check the terrain and water conditions.”

The old man was interrupted by his speech, so he showed a dissatisfaction expression. You Fei saw it and loudly criticized the soldier: "Xiao Ma, be polite. You should talk with Mr. Xie first. I'll go to the river to see it." Of course, Xie Yuchen's grandfather was also named Xie.

As he spoke, Youfei had already rushed out of the door and ran straight to the river. He was still worried that these ignorant soldiers would let girls go to the river so close to the Japanese, so there would be no trouble. It was rare that a senior intellectual came, and such talents were not found!

From a distance, I saw several people wearing yellow Japanese military uniforms who tore off the land of the logo. They were lying on the ground, surrounding a student-dressed girl, looking around. You Fei could see at a glance that the new recruits were not enough. They treated the captured Japanese military uniforms and put them on them. By the way, the new recruits were easy to distinguish. Looking at their mao-demonic appearance at this moment, it was easy to be discovered by the Japanese.

"Damn it! Babies, I dared to take the little girl to the front line after just a few days of joining the army. Who told you to come? I killed him!" Before You Feiren arrived, his voice arrived first, and the recruits were so scared that they crawled on the ground and didn't dare to move.

"Sir, you insult the soldiers casually, and you are still like a regular army officer? I insisted that they bring me here. Are you going to shoot me now?" With short hair and a refreshing and dust-free look, this female student-like person is not stingy at all. Every word is loud and angular.

"Oh! Miss Xie?" When You Fei saw Xie Yuchen, he remembered his newlywed wife Xie Peishan who was far away in Guangzhou. They were both surnamed Xie, and they were all fairy-like faces that could never be stained with dust. You Fei remembered the red candles and beautiful smiles in the bridal chamber... But his movements were not affected at all. He lay down, crawled forward, and crawled from behind the hidden object to Xie Yuchen's side.

In front of me is the flowing Guixi River. Because the water flows very heavily, the sound of water covers the voices of everyone. You Fei let go of his voice a little and said to Xie Yuchen: "Miss Xie, please be safe! After you see the terrain, go back."

"You are so rude. I want to see your brigade commander." Xie Yuchen turned his head and said to You Fei, and accidentally raised his head a little. With a "chic" sound, a bullet came over. You Fei reached out and pressed Xie Yuchen's head to the ground, shouting loudly: "Retreat, fuck! I've been discovered by the Japanese. Be careful and retreat to the back. Grandma! You ran too far forward!" With his head down, You Fei was just yelling. Suddenly he heard a few "hehe" laughter. When he saw the new recruits retreating, laughing while also glancing at the place beside him.

You Fei cursed for a while: "Babys..." Then he saw Xie Yuchen glaring at him. He suddenly reacted and explained awkwardly: "It's not that I want to press you, the Japanese are shooting cold guns... Oh! It's not right for me to curse people... Well! Girls shouldn't come to the frontline position. If you retreat now, I won't hold them accountable..."

"Hmph!" Xie Yuchen snorted, stepped back, and You Fei followed him vigilantly.

Back at the temporary command center, Jiang Jie was shouting at the pony: "You guy's head is ruined? Let the brigade commander go out alone."

"It was the brigade commander who asked me to accompany this old man." Xiao Ma defended.

"If I go out for a while, you will throw the brigade commander away. You dare to talk back, I will beat you to death." Jiang Jie said as he was about to pounce on him.

You Fei rushed back and said, "Stop quarrel, guests are coming, see how you are whining."

Xie Yuchen stepped forward: "I want to meet your brigade commander. You guys are so rude. He won't be like this, right!"

Jiang Zhuo unceremoniously extinguished the hopeful sparks flashed in Xie Yuchen's eyes, pulled You Fei over and said, "Isn't this our brigade commander? Where can we have a more elegant brigade commander than this? He is the only one!"

You Fei blushed unnaturally: "Cough cough! Miss Xie, I am You Fei. You have been by the river, can you see if we flood the Japanese? "You Fei quickly led the words to the main thing.

Xie Yuchen was also a little embarrassed. This person was actually the highest commander of the 259th Brigade. She never gave him a good look.

Xie Yuchen thought for a moment and then said seriously: "Well! You can flood it with water, but you have to build an embankment from Mujiayan Village fifteen miles away, build a fifteen-mile diversion channel, and build a few water barrier embankment in key areas. This project will take six hours to complete the land, and at least 3,000 people to work."

"I'll ask, why does it take to complete it within six hours?" You Fei asked seriously.

"Guixi is a relatively small river in the river basin. Even though the rainfall was sufficient yesterday, according to the current situation, the flow rate in Guixi will begin to decrease in six hours."

When You Fei heard this, he was still unable to make up his mind for a while. He thought and asked himself in a low voice, "You can't draw everyone to build a dam. The Japanese must always have someone to surround him. So, where can you find the three thousand laborers?"

The old man who had been smiling and silently, Xie Yuchen's grandfather suddenly became sensitive. He said, "Traveler, the people are willing to help, and let the brothers say it. Not to mention 3,000 people, 30,000 people can be called."

You Fei suddenly got up and immediately ordered: "Leave the first and second battalions of the 137th Regiment to take care of the Japanese. Everyone else followed Miss Xie to build the dike. The newly built 146th Regiment recruits were transferred to each village to call people. No force was allowed to pull the men. Okay, take action."

The Japanese surrounded the front of the enemy without any movement, and the large group of people flying behind were already moving in a hurry.

The Japanese were gradually smart in dealing with the Chinese army. They hid it firmly, and often shot it in a match, and there were no casualties on both sides. The Japanese were not so panicked, because they had clearly received news from the radio that two squadrons were coming and carrying heavy howitzers in large caliber...

At first, there were not many people who helped build dams, but after being notified by the soldiers of the National Army, they did not force them to pull them. Then the soldiers rushed to the dam to work. The people watched for a while, and some people took their own carts and carried their own shoulder poles and baskets, and joined the work team silently. Gradually, more people built dams, built canals, and built dams and earth embankments. From Mujiayan to Guixi Village, a fifteen-mile-long dragon was formed.

The project downwards of Guixi Village is under the responsibility of veterans and must be completed accurately without disturbing the Japanese.

Xie Yuchen and Youfei walked along the entire route. After Xie Yuchen pointed out where to start construction, they kept rushing along the route accompanied by soldiers from a squad of soldiers, correcting some deviations everywhere.

After obtaining the latest information, You Fei quietly returned to the command center. Sun Qingyun, Xu Zhiwei and Dong Tianhao were all waiting here. They learned that the reinforcements from the two squadrons of the Japanese were on the way, and several people were discussing countermeasures.

Dong Tianhao's bandits cooperated with the 259th Brigade in this operation, but he thought he hadn't fought much at all. When he saw You Fei come in, he said, "There are fat sheep coming in again in the voyage. Let your brothers get some meat and fish too!"

"Old Dong! This sheep is too fat and not delicious! We have surrounded these more than 400 Japanese devils here, and we can't eat them in one bite. Not to mention that the more than 600 people came again. I think we still can't fight against the dog god." You Fei grabbed a kettle and said while drinking.

He Tianhao nodded and said, "It's better to let them go back. The brothers have been tired enough in the past few days. If they fight again, they may have a reduction in combat."

You Fei gradually showed a bad smile: "Let them see a thrilling show, so you should go back!"

"You mean..." Everyone understood.

"Yeah!" You Fei nodded, "Transfer my orders, and all the reconnaissance and harassing troops to give up the harassment of the reinforcements and let them go a little faster. Well, don't feel too comfortable, just catch the good show of flooding the turtle float that started on time at 2:00 pm."

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed. Originally, everyone was a little puzzled. The Japanese reinforcements should have appeared long ago, why hasn't they been making any noise these two days? Now that we finally came, we were just right, and we just saw the fate of the Mutou Brigade. How could everyone not be happy!

The Japanese army came to reinforce the army with two squadrons, more than 600 people, commanded by a captain named Murata. Murata was originally a company adviser and had no chance of actual combat. This time he led the team with confidence and had a plan to do something big.

After Murata's reinforcements entered the four counties of Suzhou Province that were not yet controlled by the Japanese army, they were always attacked by small groups of Chinese troops. After Murata contacted the Medo Brigade and learned that it could still hold on for several hours, he began to advance steadily and slowly. After walking for a while, there were fewer small groups of troops that were raided. Murata said, "The Chinese army is just like this!", which made the Japanese army speed up.

When they arrived at the banks of Guixi River, Murata found that there was no trace of Chinese soldiers behind the Medori Brigade, and the water flow was not too large. (The upstream was blocked, so the water flow was naturally smaller.) Murata scolded angrily, "Muto Brigade's idiots, is this what is called being surrounded? Could it be that I ran so far to ask the engineers to build a few simple bridges for them?"

Despite complaining, Murata still established contact with the besieged Japanese army and sent an infantry squadron to cover the engineers to start building bridges on Guixi.

The remaining soldiers of the Mutto Brigade found that the Chinese on the other side of the river behind him had been driven away by the Japanese army, and cheers rang out from the entire Japanese position.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of gunfire sounded. Several sensitive Japanese scattered on the ground hurriedly. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang... The gunfire became farther and farther away, and finally a dull explosion sounded from a faraway place. The ground shook slightly, and there was no movement anymore.

The Japanese on both sides continued to shout by the Guixi River. Many reinforcements brought by Murata gathered around the river and threw food to the remaining soldiers of the Medo brigade on the other side. The engineers usually moved very quickly, and it only took a while for the rescue mission to be completed. Murata almost felt a little bored.

Boom - Boom - What is this sound? Many Japanese devils, including Murata, looked upwards of Guixi.

A white line appeared on the ground and advanced rapidly. The trees in front of the white line fell down one after another. "Oh! What is that?" Murata asked with a sigh, and saw a wall of more than two meters high rumbled across the position of the Muto Brigade on the other side. Even the crowded Japanese soldiers near the river bank were cleaned up together. So many people disappeared in an instant.

The sound of booming water soon disappeared. After the water head passed, the water flowed on the river bank into the river channel. After the instant flood, nothing seemed to have happened except that the river bank became flatter and cleaner.

Murata opened his mouth for a long time before closing. He asked a Japanese silence officer beside him in confusion: "What is that?"

The Japanese officer said blankly: "It's gone!" He did not answer Murata's question, but this was a very rude thing! Murata did not mean to blame, they were all stupid!

The remaining soldiers of the Meto Brigade disappeared in front of Murata. Murata counted the personnel of the headquarters and found that he had inexplicably lost 136 soldiers. It became quiet from all directions, with only mud in front of him. Everything seemed so strange, and there was an unknown crisis everywhere.

"Baga! Why don't you fight a war upright, just use despicable means. Where are you? Come out! Let's duel face to face!" Murata shouted at the mud. The answer was Zhang Mingshan's cold gun.

"Qi!" Murata was knocked away with his hat and crawled on the ground in a mess, and did not dare to shout loudly. After a while, seeing that there was no more movement, he said in frustration: "Retreat! A brigade of Muto is not an opponent. What can our two dissatisfied squadrons do?"

At the hidden point of the Liefeng Squad, everyone saw that the Japanese began to retreat, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Wang Lie said to Zhang Mingshan: "Brother Mingshan! Your title of blocking the king must be changed, it is called the Hat King! This is not the first time you have beaten the Japanese officer's hats."

The hat king Zhang Mingshan smiled silly: "I don't know why the Japanese official always likes to jump around. This is a bit unsure of the high and low things!"

"Haha! I didn't know what happened and I was defeated. Everyone was going to jump around!" Wang Lie said. You Fei took Jiang Zhuo to check the situation, and then Wang Lie said: "This time, a brigade of the Japanese was wiped out, more than 1,600 enemies were wiped out, and a squadron leader was captured. You Liefeng made a lot of contributions! Especially this hat king, he is not only good at hitting the enemy's hats!"

Zhang Mingshan smiled helplessly. He is now firmly wearing the title of "King of Hats".

The main force had already broken off contact with the Japanese and began to move towards the county town. After counting the results, all data were reported to You Fei. In this battle, a total of one mountain cannon (no shells), two heavy machine guns (only one box of bullets), four hundred and eighty-two Type 38 rifles (fewer bullets), several grenades and grenades, and there was another grenade cannon. I don’t know if it could be used. Compared with the number of people in the annihilation of the enemy, the number of seized in this way was not very rich, but You Fei’s face was still full of joy, and there were many new recruits who didn’t have to just use big blades to scare the enemy.

Not all the captured guns can be used now. There are more than 200 rifles, which were pulled out from the side hole of the trench that the 259th Brigade built overnight, along with the corpses of the Japanese. The sludge that was snatched had to be carefully cleaned before it could be used. The Japanese hiding in the side holes were very "lucky" and were not washed away by the flood, but were just wrapped in the mud. They made their final contribution to the number of guns seized by the 259th Brigade.
Chapter completed!
