Chapter 639 Flying Chains (4)
The 2nd Brigade of the 12th Detachment is a Méng Ancient Tribe. The captain of the brigade, most of its personnel belong to the tribe where Zhuoligetu is located. The 3rd Brigade is the Daur people, the captain of the brigade, Bagentaochi, half of its personnel belong to the Huachaer tribe, and the other half are the other tribes living in the Daxinganling area. The ethnic work of the Anti-Japanese United Army has done a good job, attracting many bloody men to join the army. The 12th Detachment is actually a "coalliance" of various ethnic groups.
Both brigades are cavalry, and are now arranged in the dense forests on both sides of the Japanese Chief Column, quietly waiting for the battle to start signals.
Bagentaoqi joined the army last winter. Their tribe was met by Geng Dianjun on the way to attack Qiqihar. At that time, the Huachaer tribe was forced to move them to a barren land and was raised in captivity. Just when the Japanese were killed, the Huachaer tribe called the sky but not the earth was not effective, they were rescued by Geng Dianjun.
It's interesting to say that Geng Dianjun seems to have a special attraction to the tribes. He can always encounter these ethnic minority brothers in danger. These passionate brothers also repay their life-saving grace with their actions. A large number of young and strong men do not need to be mobilized, and they will automatically gather under the 12th detachment to form a strong ethnic coalition.
With the support of the tribe leader Hua Chaer, Bagentaoqi led the young and strong tribes to join the army. It has been 7 or 8 months so far. In the first few months, they had almost no combat tasks. In line with the purpose of building a regular team, the 3rd brigade had been trained for a long time after it was formed. In the next few months, the 3rd brigade did not have many combat tasks. They mainly attacked some local armed forces such as the puppet Manchukuo police team, tribal self-defense regiment, and had not fought hard battles. This situation caused Bagentaoqi to be very dissatisfied. At the same time, he also envied the good luck of the brigade 2 and often participated in more "meaning" battles. After envying, he became angry. The brigade 2's military achievements grew rapidly. The soldiers of the brigade 2 "take credit for themselves" in front of the brigade 3's soldiers, which was so awesome.
Why? They are all standing and scattered. Why can’t the soldiers of the 3rd brigade be arrogant? Deputy Commander Geng is too partial and has been rescued by the 2nd brigade.
After waiting for the opportunity to face the Lu Face, Geng Dianjun ordered the 3rd brigade to participate in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese. The opportunity was rare and he could finally compete with the 2nd brigade on the battlefield. After receiving the mission, Bagentaoqi first found Batel and issued a challenge book.
Now Bagentaozi's clerk Wuzhul is not in his own team, but is "quiet" with Bater in his team.
Daur belongs to a ** language branch of the Altai language family. Daur and other relatives of the languages of the Méng language family have many common grammatical characteristics and similar and similar vocabulary. Therefore, there is little obstacle to the flow between the two tribes.
Wuzhuer came to remind Batel not to forget the bet between them.
How could he forget it? Bartel likes to challenge the most, and this bet is also his taste. The two families have compared the number of enemies killed by the enemy, and the number of extra ones is the number of horses that the other party loses to the other party. Both teams have several horses that can be called divine horses. They have also made the idea of using bad horses to exchange for good horses, but they have not succeeded. Now, the battlefield competition is clear at a glance, fair and reasonable exchange for the other party's horses, why not do it?
Kawamoto Takiji was walking in the middle of the team on a tall horse. He had already seen the vanguard safely passing through the grass from afar and was about to climb up the hill opposite to establish an observation post. He felt relieved and felt that there was no problem. He waved his hand to signal the troops to speed up.
The 12th detachment established 8 artillery positions near the grassland, all of which were very well disguised. The gunner and the gun body were all hidden behind various natural covers. The sighting hand only opened his eyes and quietly observed the long Japanese queue, constantly correcting his data.
The Artillery Squadron 1 and the Artillery Squadron 2 had a total of 92 artillery six, 60 mortar 12, 82 mortar 4, and the rocket launcher lacked the process, so the rocket launcher had to retreat and wait for the opportunity.
The gunner listened to the corrected data of the sight and kept fine-tuning the angle of the gun body. When everyone was a little anxious, a loud gunfire finally rang out.
"Bang hook!"
The gunshots came back in the valley, making a lingering sound.
Attack signal! The gunners suddenly "live" and there is no need to worry about camouflage when the gunshots sound. The artillery positions on the nearby hillside and the distant peaks sounded the sound of cannons coming out of the chamber.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Ho!Ho!Ho..."
One second later, the first batch of 92 artillery shells fell into the enemy group. A few seconds later, another batch of whistling mortar shells bloomed in the queue, and more than a dozen smoke columns rose from the long queue.
The artillery shells were getting more and more dense, and the Japanese soldiers who were dizzy from the explosion began to flee in all directions to avoid the shelling.
The civilians and husbands, sandwiched between the Japanese team, were subject to small booms and small booms. The artillery intentionally avoided the areas where the civilians were located for artillery bombardment. However, the civilians who lacked war experience saw the Japanese soldiers fleeing around, some people also followed, and some people accidentally entered the artillery range, causing some casualties.
The roar of the shell explosion was mixed with the screams and screams of the Japanese and civilians.
After several rounds of artillery bombs, batches of smoke bombs hissed on both sides of the Japanese queue, and thick smoke rushed out, forming two smoke walls on both sides of the team.
When the gunshots rang out, Kawamoto Takiji was not panicked. He thought it was just a cold gun commonly used by the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. He just hurriedly rolled off his horse and lay down on the ground. When he just raised his head to observe the place where the gunshots sounded, he suddenly saw faint fire and smoke suddenly appear in several places in his field of view. He immediately realized that it was not good. Judging from his experience, the fire and smoke were undoubtedly signs of the cannon ejection.
Qian Xiaowan was still obsessed with the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Kawamoto Takaji was already used to fighting opponents without artillery. His attention was only on attacking the enemy troops that were close to or ambushed at close range, and seriously ignored the enemy's long-range firepower attack.
From time to time, the broken arms were seen flying with the air as the shell exploded. The artillery hit the Japanese and suffered heavy losses. Because the queue was too narrow and long, Kawamoto Takaji could not quickly convey his orders to everyone's ears, and the troops in the front and rear of the team could only rely on the usual combat regulations to resist.
However, this kind of battle that only hears the sound of cannons, only sees the shells explode nearby but cannot see the enemy's battle. The soldiers crawl and scatter left and right under the command of grassroots officers, looking for possible opponents in a daze.
Another batch of smoke bombs came, and the thick smoke completely wrapped the Japanese team on the grass, and then the sound of shell explosions came to an abrupt end.
Geng Dianjun ordered the shelling to stop. One was to save shells, and the other was that the target had disappeared in the smoke. It was unclear how the Japanese in the smoke moved. Blind shelling was very likely to cause accidental injuries to the civilians.
