After the 112th Regiment of the Expeditionary Force arrived on the outskirts of The Burmese state, it immediately launched an attack on the state.
At the same time, the 113th Regiment also made progress in Lagassu, and was sent out by Tang Shouzhi to bypass the battalion in Lagasú, and finally found a suitable river crossing location in the upper reaches of Lagassu.
The officers and men of this battalion cut down a large amount of wood and bamboo in the forest by the river, made rafts or bamboo rafts on the spot, and then all of them took advantage of the night to push the rafts into the river, all carried their equipment, boarded the rafts, paddled by manpower, took some twists and turns, and finally succeeded in smuggling them into the east bank of the Qindun River under the cover of night.
After sneaking across the Pro-Dun River to the east bank, the battalion did not forget to drag the rafts ashore and hide them in the grass and forests on the shore, in case they were washed downstream by the river and discovered by the Japanese troops at the downstream Lagassu ferry.
After hiding the raft, they immediately led the local mountain people who accompanied the army, that is, the guide of the mountain people, and took advantage of the night to speed in the direction of Da Luo.
Speaking of this guide, I still have to thank the battalion commander Fang Jian for his help, this guide is actually the battalion commander Fang Jian when he was evacuating in Daluo, he met several local mountain people hiding in the forest on the way.
At first, after the battalion commander Fang Jian was relieved by Bai Hao's troops, he led his troops to withdraw from Daluo, and on the way to Kandi, he encountered several mountain people in the forest.
These mountain people had lived in the area of Daluo Town before, but due to the arrival of the Japanese army, they refused to listen to the propaganda of the Japanese army, did not show pro-Japanese behavior, but regarded these Japanese troops as enemies who invaded their territory, so they clashed with the Japanese army.
This small local tribe did not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and provoked a strong enemy, the result was of course very tragic, almost exterminated by the Japanese army, only the young people of these tribes ran fast and were familiar with the local terrain, and were able to escape the ascension.
But after they left the tribe, even if they were familiar with the local area, their lives were very difficult, and soon some people fell ill and died.
When the battalion commander Fang Jian found these mountain people on the way, three of them had already been replaced with malaria, so Conley helped them and asked the battalion commander Fang Jian to save these mountain people.
So later these mountain people followed the battalion commander Fang Jian to go to Candy, and later turned around a few times, and then they were incorporated into his search company by Pan Dehui.
This time, the 113th Regiment was ordered to attack the Daluo River Valley, and these mountain soldiers were sent by Pan Dehui to the 113th Regiment as guides.
This time they finally played a huge role, taking advantage of their extreme familiarity with the terrain in the area, acting as guides in front of the team, taking the 113th Regiment and this battalion, bypassing a Japanese stronghold around Da Luo, and rushing to the outskirts of Da Luo at dawn.
Da Luo is also a place with many disasters and difficulties, more than two months ago, just by the battalion commander Fang Jian led people to wreak havoc, turning the place upside down, all the buildings of the Japanese army in Da Luo were burned by them, including all kinds of materials stored in Da Luo, they also blew up in the sky.
Although the battalion commander Fang Jian took the initiative to withdraw from Daluo after winning the battle, and the Japanese army later regained control of Daluo, but the recovery work here was not satisfactory, first, because in the past two months, the rain has been falling non-stop, and second, because the Japanese army in Daluo has not been strong, and although reinforcements have been obtained some time ago, the Japanese army has placed the main defensive target in Lagassu on the west bank of the river, and does not attach importance to the recovery of the Daluo position.
This time the 113th Regiment attacked the Daluo River Valley, the troops pointed directly at Lagassu, but also let the Japanese army focus on Lagassu, after Major General Aida came to Daluo, did not stop in Daluo, immediately crossed the river to Lagassu on the opposite bank to arrange counterattack and defense work, and also brought the garrison of Daluo to the other side of the river.
According to the account of a Japanese tongue they captured on the way, now Da Luo only left a small group of Japanese troops stationed, the defense was extremely weak, which made the battalion have some paralyzed thoughts, under the guidance of the guide, they arrived at the outskirts of Da Luo, did not conduct detailed reconnaissance of Da Luo, and immediately launched an attack on Da Luo.
This battalion commander's name was Zhao Di, and if it were not for the fact that Liu Fangwu had not been kicked out of the New Thirty-eighth Division by Sun Liren and gone to Chongqing Army University for further study, the current commander of the 113 regiment would have been Zhao Di.
However, under the mistake of yin and yang, Liu Fangwu deviated, stayed, and continued to serve as the commander of the 113 regiment, so Zhao Di was still the battalion commander.
However, this time Zhao Di made a mistake, he credulously believed the confession of the captured Japanese prisoner, did not make another reconnaissance confirmation of the Japanese garrison of Da luo, and rushed to lead his troops to launch an attack on Da Luo.
However, after sending a company to launch an attack, he was shocked to find that the Japanese troops in Da luo were not as the Japanese prisoner said, there was only one small group of Japanese troops stationed, but far more than the strength of a small group, enough to reach more than one squadron.
The sixth company sent by Zhao Di to launch an attack was only caught off guard by the devils, and only luckily captured the position on the west side of Da luo, but continued to attack, but it was strongly resisted by the Japanese defenders of Da Luo, so that their attack was hindered.
The Japanese forces of Da Luo not only blocked the attack of the sixth company, but also brazenly launched a counterattack, and tried to detour from the right back to the flank of the sixth company and launch an attack on the sixth company.
At this moment, Zhao Di and the commander of the Sixth Company were a little confused, because this was too far from the information they had obtained! The intelligence said that Da Luo currently had only one Japanese squad stationed there, so they thought that it should be effortless to take Da Luo with the strength of a company to fight unprepared.
However, he did not think that Da Luo actually had so many devils, and his strength even far exceeded that of the sixth company, not only blocking the attack of the sixth company, but even showing that this group of devils still wanted to eat the sixth company.
So Zhao Di did not dare to be idle, and immediately led another company to cover the left wing of the sixth company to prevent the Japanese from attacking their left wing in a roundabout way, and at the same time he personally led a company to catch up with the sixth company and began to lead two companies to attack the main position of Da Luo together.
The resistance of the Japanese army was also very resolute, but their firepower was very weak, only one ninety-two heavy machine, one mortar, and a few light machine guns.
And Zhao Di brought over a mortar company of regimental units this time, and at this time, mortars were also set up in the back, and they bombarded the main Japanese positions in Daluo.
The fierce shelling immediately suppressed the fire of the Japanese army, Zhao Di took the opportunity to send troops to launch an attack, but the Japanese side resisted very tenaciously, their machine guns were suppressed, they continued to fire fiercely with rifles, a platoon of Chinese soldiers sent up, the platoon leader was quickly killed, and this attack was quickly repelled by the Japanese army.
Zhao Di then ordered a company on the left flank to detour against the Flank of the Japanese army, circling to the southeast direction of Da Luo, and cooperating with the main force to launch an attack on the enemy defending Da Luo.
The artillery platoon of their battalion was also sent over, and a dozen mortars began to fire fiercely again at the core position of the Japanese army in Da luo.
At this moment, the devils were a bit unable to stand up, a large number of shells fell on their positions, originally Da Luo's position was not strong enough, the shells kept smashing on their positions, trenches, the japanese troops who insisted on bombing were flesh and blood, and the resistance gradually weakened.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the battalion led by Zhao Di finally broke into the central position of the Japanese army in Daluo after paying the price of dozens of casualties.
At this time, the Japanese army here had less than half of the troops left, and seeing that the position was lost, the Japanese army here had no choice but to put on the bayonet and launch a bayonet counterattack.
After the two sides fought together, the mortars behind the Chinese side had to stop, and Zhao Di had to keep fighting with the devils.
The two sides fought for a long time, and finally completely disintegrated the Japanese resistance in Daluo, and finally some of the remaining Japanese troops broke through south along the banks of the Pro-Dun River.
But soon they were blocked back, and in desperation, these Japanese troops had to jump into the river and try to cross to the other side to escape, but the Chinese officers and soldiers who were chased to the river were like targets, and they were killed in the river, and finally only twenty or thirty devils could really escape, and all the rest were annihilated in Daluo.
In this battle, Zhao Di's troops also suffered heavy losses, with a total of more than 100 officers and soldiers casualties, of which the number of casualties reached about forty, and the losses were very heavy.
Shortly after Zhao Di's camp conquered Daluo, there were some boats on the other side of the river rowing towards this side, and through the telescope, it could be seen that the ships were full of ghosts, and it was obvious that the battle of Daluo had alarmed the Japanese troops in Lagassu on the other side, and the Japanese troops on the other side began to send troops to try to cross the river to support the defenders of Daluo.
However, their movements were still a little slower, and by the time they boarded the ship, Da Luo had already fallen into the hands of Zhao Diying.
Seeing that the Japanese army was trying to cross the river, Zhao Di unceremoniously transferred all the light and heavy machine guns in the battalion to the riverside, and opened fire on the Japanese ships on the river.
The wooden boats filled with Japanese troops were soon hit by fierce fire, full of holes, and the Japanese troops on the ship could not avoid it, and they were killed on the ship, and the remaining Japanese troops had to dive into the water to escape and swim back to the other side in order not to be killed on the ship.
In fact, as soon as the gunshots of Daluo on the other side of the river sounded, the Japanese troops on the west bank immediately heard the gunshots and quickly reported the news to Sagasuda in Lagassu.
Akata was anxious when he heard it, and now he was leading the troops, and the expeditionary force on the opposite side was already very unoptimistic, they were now going to eat nothing, they wanted ammunition and ammunition, the soldiers had fought for many days, and many soldiers had only a dozen bullets left in their hands.
At best, the light machine gun had only two magazines left, the heavy machine gun had only two or three bullet plates left, and as for the ninety-two rifle gun, there were now only four or five shells left, and it looked like it was going to become scrap iron.
Today he received news that a squadron of heavy weights had brought them a batch of supplies from Mengguan, both grain and ammunition, and Aida was very happy and ordered them to send supplies across the river as soon as possible.
However, before the other side began to send supplies across the river, it heard the news of the enemy's sneak attack on the other side of Daluo.
As soon as Aita heard his head buzz, he was confused, wasn't the enemy right in front of his eyes? How did you suddenly go around to Daluo on the east bank of the river behind you?
It should be known that Da Luo originally had very few defenders, he only left a small group of troops in Da Luo, and now the heavy squadron that transported them supplies just arrived in Da Luo, and once the enemy attacked Da Luo at this time, their Japanese troops on the west bank were completely cut off from the retreat.
At the same time, the supplies that are hard to send to them will also fall into the hands of the enemy, and they will soon be completely exhausted, and the next thing that awaits them is probably the total annihilation of the army.
So he immediately ordered that a squadron of troops be drawn and rushed back to Da Luo for reinforcements by boat, but before he could send reinforcements, the expeditionary forces on the opposite side suddenly launched an attack on them at the same time, and the shells fired by various artillery pieces slammed into their positions with a roar, and the bombed positions were filled with smoke.
A large number of Chinese soldiers, under the cover of their fierce artillery fire, attacked Ragasu with a terrifying sound, and Shota was caught off guard.
In the past few days, although the enemy reinforcements on the opposite side have already lifted the siege for the besieged expeditionary force, the other side did not launch a fierce attack on Lagassu in the past two days, but only launched several tentative attacks on Lagassu, but was quickly repelled by The Command of Aida.
Today, however, the enemies seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and suddenly launched a general attack on them, and the fierce fire almost made Ai Tian a little suspicious of life.
The enemy's artillery fire was fierce beyond his understanding of the Chinese army, and the enemy not only had large-caliber mortars, but even equipped with large-caliber mountain cannons, which were actually only eighty-one mm mortars and seventy-five mountain guns, but in Aida's eyes, in this kind of terrain, the use of these artillery is already a large-caliber artillery.
It turned out that this enemy reinforcement actually hid its strength, and when it attacked Okada before, it did not use all the artillery, and now it is only when it shows all their strength.
So Aida hurriedly ordered all-out resistance and sent troops back to the east bank to support Da luo, but it was also temporarily shelved for a while.
After his side stabilized the situation, the battle on the Side of Da Luo was about to come to an end, and the Japanese troops in Da Luo desperately called out to Ai Tian and begged Ai Tian to immediately send troops to support him, but Ai Tian himself was hit by the fierce attack of the Chinese army at this time, and he was in a hurry, where could he still take care of Da Luo's side!
Even at such a critical moment, Ai tian managed to pull out the strength of a squadron and send them back to Da Luo across the river to support the da Luo defenders.
However, by the time his side had prepared the ships and the troops had boarded to cross the river, the battle on the Side of Da Luo had already ended, and the Zhao Di Battalion, which had completely controlled Da Luo, reached the riverbank, mounted the machine gun on the riverside, and fired fiercely at the Japanese ships that sailed into the heart of the river.
The Japanese troops of this squadron, who did not even touch the edge of the opposite shore, were sent to the bottom of the river by this fierce blow to feed the fish, and finally abandoned the boat and dived back to the west bank, leaving only a small group or so, and most of their weapons were discarded into the river, almost naked and fled back to the west bank.
When Ai Tian learned the news, he was immediately petrified on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning, and the whole person was full of ashes, so he drew his gun on the spot and wanted to commit suicide, but he was snatched down by his subordinates and took his gun down, so he did not succeed in suicide.
The desperate Aita cried with tears in his eyes: "I have failed to live up to the expectations of the division commander!" I should apologize! ”
A Japanese soldier pulled Aida aside and advised in horror: "The matter is over, Commander Aida, you need to calm down, we now have many soldiers waiting for your command, only you can take them out of the siege and return to Mengguan!" You can't die now!" ”
Ai Tian stood up sadly and angrily, sorted out the military appearance, thinking about it, it was simple that he was now dead, but what about these officers and soldiers?
So he nodded, "Harada, you're right, I'm too impatient!" Now I really can't apologize immediately! Passing the order, Okamoto's squadron left behind the palace to block the enemy's pursuit, and the rest of the army gave up heavy weapons, finished all the shells and bullets of the 92 heavy machine, and then blew up! Start the breakout! ”
