Chapter 388: Divide Your Troops to Block!
Just as Haruki Fujimoto commanded the main force to go south, a fierce battle was launched on both sides of the Guanshui River and the main force of the Independent Brigade to reinforce it.
At this time, behind the position at the mouth of the valley in the Jinlong Gorge, in the bunker of Zhao Gang's temporary combat headquarters, Zhao Gang was holding a telescope and constantly observing the devil troops left by the Japanese army in front of the valley.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The violent explosion almost overturned a pillbox at Taniguchi. Fortunately, the Taniguchi bunker built by the independent brigade was up to three meters thick, and the steel bars were thickened. The perimeter was also covered with sleepers and sacks, which were enough to withstand the heavy artillery bombardment of the enemy with a caliber of 200 millimeters.
However, at this time, Zhao Gang's brows were furrowed, and the main force of the Fujimoto Haruki Command Post detachment turned around and headed south. At least two infantry brigades with more than 2,000 Japanese troops were left behind to block the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge, and an artillery brigade was attached, including more than 20 heavy machine guns.
The fire was ferocious, but it still blocked the blocking position of the Independent Brigade at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Gorge.
"Click!!
Footsteps came from behind Zhao Gang, and Zhao Gang looked back and saw that it was the communications staff officer of the Independent Brigade.
"Report to the commissar, the brigade commander is calling!" The communications staff officer handed the telegram to Zhao Gang and saluted.
Zhao Gang took it and looked at it, and then ordered in a condensed voice: "The brigade commander ordered our ambush troops to be dispatched to deal with the Japanese troops left in front of the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Canyon!" A report was sent to He Yongjie of the Fourth Regiment and Zhou Hua of the Independent Regiment, asking them to immediately dispatch to outflank the more than 2,000 Japanese troops who remained in front of the valley mouth of the Jinlong Gorge. Order all men and horses except those who continue to stay in the base area. The rest of the recruit units, as well as the reserves directly under the brigade headquarters, were all dispatched, and five minutes later, the signal flares were launched together, and a counter-assault was launched! ”。
"Yes, Commissar!"
The communications staff officer departed.
Zhao Gang, on the other hand, continued to pick up the binoculars and looked at the Japanese troops left in front of the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Gorge, and couldn't help but sneer.
At this time, if you run away, the little devil will still survive. But now, it's in your own pocket.
At this time, the Japanese troops who were left in front of the valley mouth of the Jinryu Gorge by Haruki Fujimoto and blocked the remaining troops of the independent brigade behind the position of the valley valley were subordinate to the two infantry brigades of the 13th Infantry Wing under the 60th Brigade of the 109th Division of the Devil.
The wing commander of the 13th Infantry Wing, Yokota Yugray Daisa, saw through the telescope that the independent brigade blocking position at the mouth of the valley of the Jinlong Gorge was still impregnable.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, even if he bombards him for ten days and a half months, it is impossible to take the mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge Canyon!" Yokota muttered to himself.
Jiro Amaya, the chief of staff of the wing standing on the side, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency Osa, it seems that it should be impossible for us to capture the base of the independent brigade. It is estimated that at least a few heavy guns of 400 mm caliber will be needed to be able to blast through the opponent's pillboxes. Otherwise, the bunkers built at Taniguchi would be enough to hold back our infantry. ”。
"Actually, if it weren't for the tanks, they wouldn't be able to get into the mountains. Otherwise, we have tank cover, but we can cover the infantry to attack Taniguchi! It's a pity, this terrain is really suitable for the other party as a base! Yokota shook his head with a wry smile and said.
Just as Jiro Amaya continued to speak, suddenly, three signal flares suddenly shot out from the mountain road behind the mouth of the Jinryuxia Gorge and exploded in the sky.
For the first time, Yokota Arishi and Motani Jiro both saw it, which means that it was not they who hit it, but the independent brigade on the opposite side.
"There is a situation !!"
Yokota's gray face was gloomy, and the flare exploded in the sky, and the white fireworks were clearly visible!
Generally speaking, flares are a signal for troops to attack, or a general attack!
And this, is it that the independent brigade is going to counterattack? However, they were also blocked by the fire of their own two brigades and one artillery brigade behind the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge.
"It's not !! good"
Yokota Yusha immediately shouted to the chief of staff, Jiro Amaya, who was a little under duress: "Hurry up, order all troops, turn to a state of combat defense, hurry up!" ”。
"What? Your Excellency! ”
Jiro Amaya is a little confused, what the hell?
However, before Jiro Amaya could continue to ask Yokota Arashi, a whistling cannon sound came from the rear.
The two old devils had numb scalps at this time, turned their heads to look, and suddenly their souls were overwhelmed.
I saw cannonballs whistling and smashing from both sides of their rear with tail flames.
In less than a few seconds, under the terrified gaze of Yokota and Jiro Amaya, cannonballs whistled down.
Immediately, huge explosions exploded one after another, and fragments of shells flew everywhere, directly blowing up the two defenseless Japanese brigades crying dad and mother!
Heavy artillery fire, at least ten or so mountain guns bombarded them.
At the first time, seeing that the ambush artillery fire had been fired from behind, Zhao Gang, who was guarding the position at the mouth of the valley in the Jinlong Gorge, immediately ordered the 88-mm anti-aircraft gun placed on the top of Tianfengling Mountain to aim at the Japanese assembly area in front of the valley mouth and carry out fierce artillery fire.
Not only that, but more than a dozen mountain guns hidden behind Taniguchi were also pulled out, and the two Japanese brigades with ash in Yokota were bombarded with fierce artillery fire in front and back.
This hand, Yokota who suddenly hit was gray!
And the shelling continued, and when Yokota had no time to react, the 4th Regiment of the Independent Brigade and the 2nd Independent Regiment, each with more than 2,000 people, outflanked the back and flanks of the little devils.
The shouts of killing shook the sky, and the devil soldiers of the two Japanese brigades of the 13th Infantry Wing were immediately caught off guard.
"Eight grid tooth road, there are ambush soldiers! We've been cut off! Amid the rumbling of the cannons, Yokota Yuashi immediately lay down under the protection of the chief of staff, Jiro Amaya.
However, the artillery attack from behind and the infantry of the two regiments of the independent brigade flanked him, which already made Yokota Arishi angry.
Tiangu Jiro hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Dazuo, the front and back are being attacked by the independent brigade, it seems that they have a small road and two detours behind us!" It's troublesome this time! The strength of the Independent Brigade that came from behind would not be less than 4,000, and the position of the Independent Brigade at the mouth of the valley in front of us also opened artillery bombardment on us. The firepower of one of our artillery brigades is completely unbearable! What to do? ”。
"Quick, send a report to Your Excellency the General, asking for tactical knowing. Order the 1st Brigade to hold the back, and the 2nd Brigade will launch a feint attack on Taniguchi to contain the other side! Artillery fire is divided into two sides to cover, hurry up!" Yokota is worthy of being a devil with rich combat experience, and he can only order the two brigades to divide their troops on both sides to block the attack, at least, stabilize the position first!
"Hai, Your Excellency Dazuo!"
Jiro Amaya was a little flustered, but he still said in a heavy voice, and then hurriedly sent someone to send a report to Haruki Fujimoto!
As for whether he can withstand the ambush of the independent brigade from behind, Yokota can only pray for the blessing of the god of heavenly recruitment.
