- Chapter 244 Taihang Annihilates Bandits (V)
The information came from the Third Division of the Special Operations Detachment. There are more than 100 people in this team. They disguise themselves as a group of bandits and blend into a large group of bandits. It is easy. There are more than 10,000 bandits, and they come from hundreds of gangs, large and small, with as many as 780 bandits. There were nearly a thousand people, as few as thirty or fifty, all reporting their own numbers. They were noisy all day long, and it was quite common to kill a lot of people in private, but on the surface they could still maintain peace. Live in peace.
Intelligence shows that in the evening yesterday, the leading troops of two major forces joined the bandits, bringing the total number of bandits following the escorting troops to nearly 20,000, exceeding the number of escorting troops.
The reconnaissance learned that the newly joined forces came from two groups. One was the bandit Wang Ying's department of more than 3,000 people active in the Chabei area, and the other was the puppet Mongolian army's deputy commander-in-chief Li Shouxin's department's chief of staff Badalhu, who led more than 5,000 people. People, the follow-up bandit troops are still marching on the Zhangbei grassland, stepping closer to the Taihang Mountain area, and are expected to meet up with the bandit group tomorrow night.
This is an unexpected situation. Li Shouxin and Wang Ying were bribed by the Japanese and have been stationed in the northwest of Peiping, threatening the defense of Beijing and Tianjin. Now, almost all of them have left their original territory and rushed south to participate in this operation to seize weapons and ammunition. If the Japanese did not lead this conspiracy, I would not believe it even to death.
Tang Qiuli felt alarmed, and immediately sent an urgent telegram to the left wing troops, the Su Jingfeng Department of the **Second Brigade, the Korean Railway Department of the **3rd Brigade, and the attached Shen Jingshan Department of the Second Artillery Brigade. Reconnaissance troops must be dispatched. Go out to Zhangbei grassland to reconnoiter the march route of Li Shouxin and Wang Ying's follow-up troops to avoid being caught off guard and encountering the enemy and exposing their campaign intentions.
Near noon, the Third Special Operations Team sent another piece of information. The bandit leaders of various ministries participated in a meeting. The meeting was chaired by Badalhu, Chief of Staff of the Puppet Mongolian Army. According to the observation of the leader of the Third Special Operations Team, this person's behavior was , the way of speaking is very Japanese-like.
Two bandit leaders refused to obey the orders and were shot dead on the spot. Their bandits immediately mutinied and were eliminated by Li Shouxin's troops on the spot. The method was extremely cruel. This move shocked all bandits and confirmed Badalhu's temporary leadership position. Just listen to him.
Badalhu's plan was to launch a full-line attack tomorrow evening after all Li Shouxin's troops arrived. Wang Ying's troops quickly left the Zhangbei grassland and rushed to the east of the Xiaowutai Mountain area, from Taihuai to Shentangbao, to intercept and escort them head-on. The troops, and the main force of bandits following them, formed an encirclement, striving to annihilate the escorting *** division troops in the Xiaowutai Mountain area and seize these weapons and ammunition.
After reading the intelligence, Tang Qiuli felt the seriousness of the matter. Li Shouxin and Wang Ying joined the bandits, which greatly increased the strength of the bandits. Especially Li Shouxin's troops, which had been trained by the Japanese, were almost regular troops. Their level of combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of other bandits. Although it is not as good as the army, it cannot be underestimated. Led by this group of armed forces with considerable combat effectiveness, the bandits' attack will be crazy, and the pressure on the escorting troops will increase dramatically.
The bandits took the initiative to attack, which was beyond his expectation. Once the escort troops got entangled with the bandits, some of their troops would be allocated to protect the weapons and ammunition, and the number of troops that could participate in the battle would be insufficient.
Moreover, Wang Ying's bandits went to the area east of Xiaowutai Mountain to intercept and attack the escort troops from east to west. Once a war broke out, they did not dare to ensure that the escort's weapons and equipment would not be damaged. With the combat effectiveness and equipment of the first and second regiments of the Second Brigade Tong Batu, it would not be a problem to defeat these bandits, but the losses of the troops would increase exponentially.
In the Xiaowutai Mountain area, the plan to annihilate these bandits will completely fail. The battle he carefully arranged will not have a perfect ending. He secretly cursed the Japanese who pretended to be the Mongolian Badalhu to be really insidious and vicious.
Coerce and drive these Chinese bandits to serve as cannon fodder and fight with the Japanese troops to death. The victims are all Chinese. If you succeed, you will achieve your goal and reap the benefits of others. If you fail, you will retreat, with oil on your feet, leaving behind tens of thousands and The bandits who were enemies of the army were looking for trouble everywhere.
The Japanese are very mean and shameless. They are angry that these bandits are willing to be used by the Japanese for their own selfish interests. They have no idea that they are just pawns of the Japanese.
A more vicious move was for Wang Ying's gang to intercept the escort on the way forward. The escort was now in a dilemma. If they accelerated their march, they would inevitably engage in battle with the intercepting Wang Ying's gang in advance, and whether the troops outflanking them could Arriving at the scheduled location on time is an unknown.
If the escort troops continue to march at the current speed, they will inevitably start a battle with the main force of bandits following them in advance. The same problem is that the troops on both wings still cannot reach the designated position on time and are in a stalemate with the bandits. Once the intercepting bandit Wang Yingbu discovers that there are people on both wings. The ** division's troops are approaching. Warn in advance and expose the tactics.As expected, the bandits dispersed, and the purpose of this battle also failed.
Tang Qiuli kept thinking in the room. Li Shouxin and Wang Yingbu's gang suddenly joined the battle, complicating the situation beyond the original idea of ??the battle. What needs to be solved now is the interception of Wang Yingbu on the way to escort the troops. He The greatest threat is to the convoy.
Without this batch of weapons and equipment, with the combat effectiveness of the Solitary Brigade and the cavalry unit, it is more than enough to serve as a large decoy, and it can also be used to cooperate inside and outside, and the center will bloom.
The only way to deal with Wang Ying's bandit corps is to bring troops to Peiping. The location and distance are appropriate. Although the number is less than 2,000, it can be used to deal with Wang Ying's more than 3,000 people. The key is to catch up with Wang Ying. In front of Ying, before he enters the line from Taihuai to Shentangbao in Xiaowutai Mountains, intercept and annihilate him to ensure that there is no enemy in front of the escorting troops. This pocket rope can also be made.
In the afternoon, a piece of information came from the special operations unit operating in the Hejian and Ziya River areas of North China. The Zhang Yinwu Department of the Hebei People's Army seemed to be interested in this batch of weapons and equipment. One of the units had about 1,500 soldiers. People, led by his deputy chief of staff, have moved to the Xiaowutai Mountain area. Although they have no intention of joining forces with the bandits for the time being, their intentions are worthy of vigilance and suspicion.
Tang Qiuli has two big heads. Is it possible that this batch of weapons and ammunition is so attractive that it attracts all the armed forces and local powerful factions in North China? With just one meal, several groups of guests came, all wanting to eat for free. At lunch, did you really treat the North China Army as a fat sheep?
In fact, this is not what Tang Qiuli is most worried about. As far as the current nature of the Hebei People's Army is concerned, most of its subordinates are Japanese. At this time, Zhang Yinwu appeared completely as an anti-Japanese soldier, unlike later who specialized in The appearance of the experts who engaged in friction with the Eighth Route Army in North China cannot be compared with bandits like Wang Ying.
But the intention is unclear, and it does not rule out these Japanese people taking advantage of the chaos. Anyway, they think that this is the equipment of the Japanese army. If the bandits got it, why can't they get it themselves? Rather than taking advantage of the bandits, it is better to take control of this batch of equipment and play a role in the future anti-Japanese battlefield.
What Tang Qiuli is most worried about is the movement of Japanese troops in North China. This is the most uncertain factor. Since Li Shouxin and Wang Yingbu, who are under control, can be dispatched, it cannot be ruled out that at the most critical moment of the Xiaowutai Mountain battle, the Japanese The possibility of someone disguised and stabbing an army in the back.
?According to the degree of hatred and behavior of the Japanese towards themselves, it is entirely possible.
The situation becomes more and more complicated. This batch of weapons and ammunition is like a piece of fat and oily meat, attracting the salivation of all forces. There are those who take advantage of the chaos, those who take advantage of the situation, and those who follow the gang to sing shadows. There are those who reap the benefits of others, and there are those who sit back and watch. The various forces have different ideas, but the purpose is the same, which is to swallow this batch of enviable equipment. They are just waiting for the opportunity, like a group of hungry wolves, staring with blood-red eyes. , pounce at any time and take a bite.
Ironically, the bandits also chose the Xiaowutai Mountain area as their expected battlefield. It seems that that place is really a geomantic treasure.
Tang Qiuli observed and preset the battlefield for a long time. Plans were formed in his mind one after another, and were constantly rejected. None of the plans could guarantee that all the weapons and equipment would not be damaged, and the escorting troops would not suffer heavy casualties. Annihilated more than 20,000 bandits and Li Shouxin's puppet Mongolian army.
He was once again troubled by his troops. Although they had reached more than 70,000 people, the troops were still not enough. According to the Art of War, if you surrounded them five times and annihilated them ten times, the troops responsible for stabbing holes and annihilating Wang Ying's bandits were not even strong enough. Used, the strength is slightly weak.
He once again considered whether his appetite was too big. Wanting to swallow more than 20,000 bandits in one go was beyond the capabilities of the troops. The opportunity was rare, so it was difficult for him to choose to give up. Besides, it would also put the escorting troops in great trouble. in danger.
Since it could not be accomplished by his own family, he had no choice but to dispatch the troops of the 29th Army. From his heart, he was really reluctant to do this. The reasons were very complicated.
There was no other way. He first answered Song Zheyuan's call and explained to him in detail what had happened and the dangers encountered by this batch of weapons and equipment. Song Zheyuan, who was sophisticated in the world, immediately understood what Tang Qiuli meant.
Brother Tang has encountered a difficult problem. So many armed forces are eyeing the troops of the ** Division. He does not have enough troops on hand and needs to mobilize the troops of the 29th Army.
At the same time, Song Zheyuan felt a burst of anger in his heart. This batch of equipment and ammunition was given to his troops. These bandits were so blatantly trying to rob, and their arrogance was too arrogant. They were stealing meat from their own mouths, and they were not eating it. Does he, a big boss in the Pingjin area, take it seriously and bully the 29th Army? If the tiger doesn't show off its power, it will treat me, Song Zheyuan, as a sick cat
Whether it is public or private, it is natural to dispatch troops. Song Zheyuan weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and??I don't blame him for being obsessed with it. After many years of military service, he cherishes his family background even more.
With limited capital, he was most afraid of consumption. In this regard, he was often deceived by Chiang Kai-shek. Although he wanted to entrust the entire army to Tang Qiuli, he still weighed it based on his inertial thinking. He was afraid of being deceived too much and was afraid of losing too much.
