Chapter 887 The time of prairie fire!
Taoist priests naturally have a clear mind!
He acted completely as he was, without any trace of disguise. The only difference from the one in the Four Elements Group was that his sword was brought into the city two days later, and he also had a fortune-telling flag.
Calculating the future and looking at fate is the basic subject for a Taoist priest. In future terms, it is a psychology major.
This is not specifically to deceive people, but there are also a large number of pilgrims who need to be appeased, right? Do you really think Buddhism and Taoism are easy? If you want to make a name for yourself in this field, you will definitely have to study less than those famous people.
Although Mingxin is obsessed with martial arts, he has not lost his professional skills. He can talk nonsense and see a doctor. During this period, he has basically taken care of the bruises, headaches and fever of the officers and soldiers of the special squadron without bothering the medical team.
As a result, Tantai Mingyue has the heart to recruit Mingxin to the medical team. They can not only serve as doctors to treat patients, but also as guards. They are more capable than the donkeys of the production team.
Fortunately, Mingxin, who conquers the world with a big sword, proved with practical actions on the south bank of Bihe River that his talent for killing is much better than saving people. Tantai Mingyue knew that the special squadron would not let people go, and Tang Dao would not agree, so The idea just stayed in her mind without being implemented.
Mingxin does not have the so-called good citizen certificate, but his Taoist robe has become his best cover.
His fortune-telling stall is usually set up on the street less than 100 meters away from Wang's mansion. The little Taoist priest is handsome and doesn't speak much. He only tells fortune-telling three times a day and charges only one meal each time. Even though he is not accurate, he is very unique, but what really makes people in the small town know about the existence of this little Taoist priest is that Mingxin also has the unique skill of sensing the pulse.
When you put it on your hand, you will know whether the human body is normal or weak, and you will not take any money. It only asks about poverty and not wealth. Many poor people who are reluctant to seek medical advice because of their poor family background but feel slightly unwell have gone to see it. Mingxin He doesn't prescribe medicine, he just makes suggestions for recuperation.
However, within three days, You Fang Xiaodao became so famous that even the highest commander of the Japanese army stationed in Licheng County, Lieutenant Colonel Nakadama Saki, came to know about it. After looking for Wang Changshou and asking about Ming Xin's origins, he secretly observed Ming Xin for two days. Ask Wang Changshou to lead people to invite Ming Xin into Wang's mansion.
There is no other reason. Lieutenant Colonel Sakira Nakatama is already over forty, and his body is still strong after going through the battlefield. However, since arriving in Licheng, the Wang family took the initiative to seek refuge and sent several beauties for Lieutenant Colonel Sakira Nakatama to enjoy. After playing music every night for half a month, Lieutenant Commander Sakira Nakatama felt dizzy when he got up every morning, and he broke out in sweats after walking for a while.
If it were in China, Lieutenant Colonel Sakira's first choice would naturally be Western medicine, but this Licheng is a small county, and there are only two or three Chinese medicine shops in the hospital. The key is that Lieutenant Colonel Sakira is still very suspicious, for fear of being exposed by the Chinese with ulterior motives. Poisoned.
Traditional Chinese medicine is all herbal medicine. Changing the medicine or increasing the dose may kill people. This kind of thing has happened in the Northeast.
A Kwantung Army officer went to a drug store to prescribe medicine. He vomited blood and died after not taking it for three days. It was later found out that the boy who took the medicine from the drug store secretly increased the dosage of the medicine tenfold because the officer was bullying him. killed his sister.
Afterwards, although the drug store was raided and the boss and the boy were shot, the official returned home with a box in his hand.
When he first arrived in Licheng, Qi Liangzhong Sana dared to trust the doctors in the small town. Compared with this, he would rather trust the wandering Taoist priests like Mingxin.
It's not that he has never suspected Mingxin's origins, but Mingxin's methods and methods, which are so public that everyone wants to know them, are completely incompatible with spies and agents walking in the shadows. If this is how the Chinese come to cause destruction, then Qi Liang Lieutenant Colonel, don't be too welcoming.
First of all, it was determined that the wandering Taoist priests were just cultivators who were just making a living, and somewhat wanted to trample on the dignity of Chinese cultivators. Lieutenant Colonel Saki Liang Nakatama finally invited Mingxin through Wang Changshou on the fourth day after Mingxin entered the city. 'Arrived at Wang's mansion.
The 200 white silver dollars offered by the Wang family did not shake Mingxin's original intention not to treat the rich. However, Lieutenant Colonel Saki Liang, who took action personally, forced Mingxin to bow his head with the threat of executing 50 Chinese people.
Looking at the Chinese practitioners who were able to refuse wealth but were forced to treat themselves and prescribe medicine under the threat of taking the lives of Chinese people, Saki Ryo Nakatama felt an indescribable pleasure.
This may be the legendary "I'm here, I conquer!" ' Feel it!
Qi Liangzhongyu is not afraid of what the little Taoist priest does. He holds the power to kill and kill tens of thousands of Chinese people in Licheng County. If anything happens to him, his subordinates will massacre the entire county and kill ten people. A quarter is totally fine.
For the young Chinese monk in front of me, this should be an extremely easy multiple choice question!
It is a pity that the cunning and cunning Sakura Nakatama never expected that the thin little Taoist priest in front of him could kill more than 30 fully armed Japanese infantry with one person and one sword.
If we start now, even though the Japanese defenders in Wang's mansion are just an infantry squad, it doesn't mean that we can kill them all. However, we don't have to worry about losing our health in the future. 'Return to Home in One Box' Your wish can come true.
Lieutenant Colonel Saki Ryo Nakatama gained his satisfaction from trampling on his dignity, and by the way, he also got a good medicine for his illness. For Ming Xin, he finally entered the interior of Wang's mansion and got a full view of it.
The Wang family is indeed a large family that has been in Licheng County for nearly a hundred years. This mansion located in the center of Licheng County covers an area of more than five acres. The surrounding bluestone brick walls are more than three meters high and even more than 100 meters thick. Half a meter, even infantry artillery may not be able to handle a brick wall of this thickness.
In order to strengthen the security of his brigade headquarters, searchlights were installed on all four corners of the wall of Wang's mansion, which covers an area of several acres. A wooden sentry tower was also built in each corner, with 2 people per class, and sandbags were used at the gate. Two fortifications were built, with at least ten Japanese soldiers on duty and two light machine guns.
But this is only what can be seen on the surface. Only when Mingxin enters it, do you know how much Qi Liangchutama, a lieutenant-general-level infantry captain, cherishes his life.
Fortifications can be seen everywhere in the mansion. There are more than 30 Japanese troops on duty with live ammunition. If you include those on the walls and at the gate, there is at least one infantry squad in the mansion. It is almost impossible to kill him with a sneak attack. Forty If many Japanese soldiers retreated into the mansion, they could turn it into a military fortress. If they retreated into an infantry squadron, unless they had large-caliber heavy artillery, it would be impossible to capture it without spending a lot of money.
Tang Dao, who received Mingxin's intelligence, grinned. The Japanese army had such a life-saving commander and such a final line of defense, which was beneficial but not harmful to the Four Lines Regiment.
The more urgent the telegram he sends, the easier it will be for the Japanese troops coming to help to get into the pocket formation deployed by Brigadier Cheng and others. And the target of the Fourth Line Regiment, from the beginning, was not the head of the so-called Japanese infantry captain.
In the two battles of Laojinkeng and the south bank of Bihe River, the heads of the Japanese colonels were no longer fresh. How can the Sixings Regiment still value a small lieutenant colonel?
Tang Dao's target was the baggage warehouse located in the city. Because the Japanese army had a strong confidentiality mechanism and did not allow any Chinese to get close to it, the informants in the city could not tell clearly what materials the Japanese army had transported into it by trucks and carriages for several days.
But the huge quantity is certain. Even if it is just food, this battle is worth the price of admission!
At dusk on March 14, the Fourth Group received a six-character message from the 683rd Brigade Headquarters: Operation Prairie Fire, begin!
Before nightfall, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions, 1st and 2nd Artillery Company, 1st Artillery Company, 2nd Artillery Company, the guard company directly under the regiment headquarters, the cavalry company, the special agent company, and the baggage company of the Four-Hong Regiment lined up at the headquarters where the regiment is located. At the foot of the mountain below Kouzi Cave.
"Each battalion and company will set off tonight according to the previously formulated plan, arrive at the hiding place, activate the radio at the designated time, and wait for the attack order! When our army wins, I will drink celebratory wine with all my brothers!" Tang Dao, who was in military uniform, stood on a big rock, looked around, and issued military orders to the entire regiment. "All troops, set off!"
Then, salute solemnly!
“Shua!” Regardless of whether they went out to fight or stayed behind, all the officers and soldiers of the Si Xing Regiment raised their right hands and returned the salute to their supreme commander.
Whether the commander or the private, there is no slogan of mountain roar and tsunami, but the simplest military salute, Chinese soldiers express their determination.
Led by the guides sent by the 772nd Regiment, each battalion and company marched toward Licheng County, dozens of kilometers away, with torches and flashlights.
Tonight is not a time of fighting, but a pure march. They will spend one night reaching the mountainous area fifteen kilometers away from Licheng County.
The real battle will break out at 4 a.m. on the 16th!
That is the sleepiest time of the day, which is enough time for the Japanese reinforcements to react. Otherwise, what if the Japanese troops in Licheng are killed in one go and the Japanese reinforcements do not come? The 683rd Brigade spent a lot of money this time, and gathered nearly three infantry regiments just like before.
In addition to the main 772nd Regiment and 771st Regiment, they also used their own supplementary regiments.
What is a supplementary group? Literally, it is a reserve regiment that can replenish troops to the two main regiments at any time. However, just because it is a reserve regiment and the weapons used are slightly older, we must not underestimate this infantry regiment, which has the majority of recruits.
In the past, Brigadier Cheng's main force in ambushing the Japanese army was this supplementary regiment. The 771st regiment was responsible for assisting, and the 772nd regiment was responsible for blocking another wave of Japanese invaders from the periphery and finishing the battle.
Many people may not understand the deeper meaning at first, why not use the two main regiments as the main ambush force and use a supplementary regiment with a slightly weaker combat effectiveness. Some people may even maliciously speculate that Brigadier Cheng is unwilling to sacrifice the main regiment, but would rather sacrifice the supplementary regiment. .
But the final facts prove that whether the main force is the main force or the non-main force, and whether the combat effectiveness is strong or weak, it depends on what kind of battlefield environment it is, which is the so-called choice of people.
The special terrain of Shentou Ridge means that it doesn't matter how strong the firepower is, because the road is not in the valley but on the ridge. If you want to ambush, you must be on both sides of the road and not on the high mountains.
So, when the future Tang Dao saw that the nearest ambush point of the Japanese army was actually only ten meters away, the hairs all over his body almost stood up.
What kind of big heart does this genius commander have to make such a decision? If the Japanese army were more cautious, they would put the lives of 2,000 people completely under the firepower of the Japanese machine rifles!
Moreover, there is no cover-up! The grass cannot be used as a cover!
But the fact is that the Japanese army completely ignored the threat from the bushes on both sides because they were eager to rush to reinforce the scared Licheng compatriots, and the special terrain of Shentou Ridge where it was impossible to be ambushed.
After a round of bullets and a wave of grenades, they were greeted by hand-to-hand combat!
The supplementary regiment that lacks sufficient firepower mainly uses the red tassel gun! That's nearly 2,000 red tassel guns! Even a strong man like Tang Dao breaks into a cold sweat just thinking about it!
Even though he killed four Japanese infantrymen with a single bayonet, and even defeated an infantry company of the 89th Division by himself, to be honest, on such a battlefield, let him lead 1,000 Japanese troops and face such a forest of spears. , also a death! If you can't run fast enough.
If nothing unexpected happens, even if Tang Dao sends so much Japanese equipment to the 683rd Brigade, the wise Brigadier Cheng will still adopt the same tactical arrangement, and Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang's dream of becoming the main ambush force will eventually be shattered.
However, no one knows why, after sending so much Japanese equipment, Tang Dao also added a large number of German long-handled grenades. Perhaps, by the end of the battle, the genius general will vaguely know the reason.
Because the supplementary regiment will definitely be equipped with a large number of this type of grenades. At that time, because of the extra batch of long-handled grenades, it may not be one wave of grenades, but three or four waves. The Japanese army in the encirclement may live longer than before. The time and space are much more miserable.
Tang Dao has nothing to worry about for the 683rd Brigade. What he has to worry about is the battle to conquer Licheng. It was an unprecedented tough battle for the Four Lines Regiment!
What's more important is that we must control the intensity and don't let the Japanese army feel that they are hopeless!
The night of March 15th!
Except for the first battalion and part of the artillery of the Fourth Line Regiment, the two infantry battalions and all other troops, including 500 militiamen temporarily transferred from the 772 Regiment, totaling more than 2,000 people, all rushed to the Wuming Mountain area outside Licheng County before 12 o'clock. Rally.
The officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion accompanying the infantry did not use pack horses this time. Instead, they carried the disassembled mountain artillery pieces and mortars manually. The artillery shells were handed over to the militiamen who served as their ammunition handlers and part-time guards.
In the battle to conquer the county town, this time the Si Xing Regiment deployed all its elite troops except for the infantry battalion. There was no infantry to guard them anymore.
There are two infantry battalions, the second battalion is responsible for the east gate, the third battalion is responsible for the south gate, and the two northwest gates draw out small groups of troops for the two battalions to feint attack. The regiment headquarters is centered with the artillery battalion, responsible for commanding the overall situation and providing attack points for the four gates. Artillery support.
Almost all small mountain towns that never cross more than 1.5 kilometers from east to west are within the range of the artillery battalion stationed on the hill 800 meters away from the city gate, whether it is a mountain cannon with a range of six kilometers or an 82 mortar with a range of 2,500 meters, or It is a daunting 150-caliber heavy mortar!
Gong Shaoxun was once again left sitting at the regiment headquarters with a wry smile on his face. Tang Dao took Erya and the guard platoon to follow the third battalion heading to the south gate and arrived at the woods 500 meters away from the south gate.
The Japanese army is very wealthy. On the 600-meter-wide city wall, they set up two large searchlights, one on the left and one on the right of the city gate. They staggered with huge light beams to sweep the ground hundreds of meters away, from the city wall to the woods. Although it is not clear in detail, it is extremely difficult to quietly sneak into the effective range of the rifle and shoot at the Japanese troops in the fortifications on the city wall.
Xu squinted his eyes, lying in the grass with a telescope camouflaged with a camouflage net, adjusting to the high intensity of the searchlight and looking at the city wall, Leng Feng's face remained as stern as ever.
The intelligence sent back by the special forces about Licheng County has long been mature, but the well-preserved city walls of Licheng and the Japanese army's extremely mature defense system still give Leng Feng, an experienced soldier, a headache.
The firepower points made of sandbags on the not-so-wide city wall and at the city gate were clearly visible. Although it was unclear how many troops were defending on the city wall, it was definitely not less than an infantry squad.
Perhaps some people would think that by using mortars to blast these firepower points into the sky, the soldiers could attack the city through this open space, but as an increasingly mature commander, Leng Feng would never think so.
The defense on the city wall will never be less than one infantry squadron, which means that the defense in the south gate area will never be less than one infantry squadron.
No commander would be stupid enough to put all his troops on a city wall with little defensive capabilities. Most of the Japanese troops must have built a complete position relying on the residential buildings behind the south gate. Once a strong attack begins, not only It was a matter of how many casualties it would take for his third battalion to pass through this 400-meter-wide open space, and how long it would take for him to eliminate the enemies at the south gate.
The combat mission of his third battalion was not only to break through Nancheng as quickly as possible and clear out the enemy defenders, but also to provide cover for the remaining personnel of the guard company and special forces squadron, allowing them to enter the city and prevent the eager Japanese troops from massacring civilians or even killing civilians. for the possibility of quality.
The special forces and informants in the city have already explained the situation. Although the Japanese troops entering the city did not implement a high-pressure policy against civilians, the areas with the highest concentration of civilians were blocked by Japanese troops with fortifications. Once anyone dared to attack the city, they would immediately use military police to attack them. Implement repression in civilian areas to prevent people from causing chaos from within. The possibility of using civilians as hostages is not ruled out.
To deal with this part of the Japanese army as soon as possible, he had to attack the city wall before they could react, and engage in street fighting with the Japanese army in units of infantry squads or even infantry platoons. Only then could the special forces and guard companies advance into the city along the alleys.
Before coming, Leng Feng, who had studied the map of Licheng County many times, had already thought of many plans, including some elite special forces such as Ming Xin, Shen Lao Liu, Niu Er, and Uncle Han, sneaking into the city wall to conduct a sneak attack on the defenders, or an infantry squad Massive blasting with explosives
But now, under the Japanese army's two large searchlights that can't hide, everything has become a reverie.
As early as two days ago, Tang Dao gave up the plan of using special forces to launch a sneak attack on the Japanese troops participating in the defense of the city wall to open the city gate. The special forces entering the city were more to disrupt and contain the Japanese invaders.
The five or six black figures walking back and forth on the top of the city with three or eight big covers were not blind. It would be easy to deal with them all at the same time, but the sound of gunfire would also alert all enemies. Leng Feng frowned.
But Tang Tuanzuo on the side took a leisurely look at his watch.
The hour hand is already pointing to 3:30 in the morning.
ps: Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish all readers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. For the sake of Fengyue not having any rest during the festival, it's not too much to ask for some monthly votes!
