Chapter 71: The sneak attack went well
Behind the mountains north of Mazhuang, the heavy snowfall has made the mountains north of Mazhuang full of thick snow.
Due to the deep snow, the commander of the devils, who had built fortifications on more than a dozen hills north of Mazhuang, believed that there was a thick snow behind the mountains, and no new regiment of troops could make a detour to sneak attack.
Therefore, this is also one of the reasons why in the end Yamada Hiroshi only sent an infantry brigade to deploy on a dozen hills north of Mazhuang.
After all, under the condition that the snow is too deep, the difficulty of a sneak attack by detour is very huge, and the devil commander who entered the more than a dozen hills north of Mazhuang to build fortifications also sent people down to the back of the mountain to investigate, and it was very difficult to walk, and there was not much possibility that a new regiment of troops could sneak attack behind the mountain.
At this time, guarding more than a dozen hills north of Mazhuang was the headquarters of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 4th Infantry Wing under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, with a total strength of nearly 1,200 people. At least one to two heavy machine guns and a dozen light machine guns were deployed on each hill, and the firepower was still very strong.
On more than a dozen hills north of Mazhuang, on the main peak position, the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 4th Infantry Wing, Yama Tongyu 2 Shaozo, held a katana, and constantly patrolled the devil soldiers who were digging trenches and building fortifications in the heavy snow.
"Hurry up, it's already starting to start at the bottom of the mountain, hurry up for me!" Shan Tongyu scolded and scolded, constantly urging his devil soldiers to hurry up and build fortifications.
Although Shan Tong Yuji felt that occupying this kind of terrain could condescendingly support the devils who defended in all other directions of the horse village, once the other party had any back moves, these dozen or so mountains north of the horse village were the most important support points, and they should not be careless.
When Shan Tongyouer scolded and urged his devil soldiers to hurry up and build the fortifications on the mountain, at this time, He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion of the new first regiment, had already led the way under the guidance of two ordinary people from Mazhuang, followed a secret mountain path, and under the cover of heavy snow, he had already killed less than 100 meters behind the defensive position of the devil's mountain in the north of Mazhuang.
Because there is a dense mountain forest behind the mountain, there are many trees, and under the cover of the heavy snow, the sight is extremely bad, even if everyone lurks and kills fifty meters down the mountain behind the devil's mountain position, it is impossible for the little devil in the north to find it.
"Battalion commander, under the guidance of my fellow countrymen, our vanguard has been killed in the woods at the bottom of the mountain, fifty meters behind the mountain. It is observed that the little devils almost did not send troops to defend behind the mountain, and only a few devil soldiers were on guard! In addition, there were already bursts of gunfire in the horse village on the other side of the mountain. It is estimated that the regiment commander has already launched a feint attack on the devils. ”
In the dense forest a hundred meters below the mountain behind the dozen or so hills guarded by Shan Tongyouer, in the woods under the white snow, a four-battalion army wearing a white windbreaker has lurked here and is ready to standby.
After getting the report from the soldier who rushed back with the cat on his waist to report the reconnaissance situation ahead, He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, nodded secretly and said, "Okay! Well done! Ordered the troops to set off and advance covertly. Mortars will cover us with artillery fire later! Light and heavy machine guns, let me go, cover the infantry rushing up. The grenades are also ready, and once they reach the top of the mountain, they will smash me hard, put on the bayonet, and prepare to fight at close range. The submachine gun commandos took the lead and went up before the infantry fighters! Do you get it? ”。
"Yes, battalion commander!!"
The commanders and fighters of the fourth battalion replied in a low voice, and then under the command of He Yongjie, they advanced covertly behind the hill north of Mazhuang.
At this time, Yuji Yamatong, who was shouting and urging his ghost soldiers to hurry up and build the fortifications on the mountain, did not expect that a new regiment of troops had quietly killed in the dense forest under the mountain behind the mountain.
If it weren't for the heavy snowfall, maybe a few devil soldiers who were bored behind the mountain would be able to see the movement down the mountain. However, it is almost impossible at the moment, the heavy snow is very heavy, and the snowflakes have obscured the sight of the devil soldiers, and they have not found that more than 1,500 soldiers of the four battalions of an elite new regiment have killed them down the mountain.
Then, under He Yongjie's observation, his big hand waved secretly.
I saw a few scouts from the fourth battalion quietly touching the vicinity and killing a few devil soldiers who were guarding halfway up the mountain.
"Poof!! Puff!! ”
The snow was falling, and several vigilant devil soldiers were stabbed in the stomach after being covered by the soldiers of the fourth battalion of scouts without exception. There was also a soldier who was on the alert of the devil who was cut by the soldiers of the fourth battalion of scouts with a dagger, and the blood flew and quickly froze into a lump in the cold wind!
"Okay, brothers, give it to me!"
Receiving the signal to kill the devil sentry, He Yongjie held back his excitement, waved his big hand, and jumped up from the lurking place with all the soldiers of the four battalions hula, and rushed towards the mountain.
At this time, the sound of feints and cannons on the other southeast, east, and west sides of Mazhuang was very loud, attracting the attention of Shan Tong Yuuji.
At this time, the old devil mountain Tongyouer didn't expect that Li Yunlong would actually send troops to attack them from behind the mountain!
"Bang !!"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out over the mountain, and Shan Tongyouji, who was inspecting and urging his ghost soldiers to hurry up and build fortifications, suddenly felt a sigh in his heart!
"Where's the gun?"
Although Shan Tong Yuji was stunned in his heart, he didn't want to go to the back of the mountain, but thought that a ghost soldier had gone off with a gun.
It was only with the sudden sound of gunfire that the mountain was suddenly bombarded with fierce artillery fire.
"Boom, boom!!!"
The shell exploded at close range less than thirty meters away from Yama Tong Yuuji, and the shock wave of the explosion almost overturned Yama Tong Yuji!
"Captain, captain, no, there is a large group of enemy troops behind the mountain to sneak attack, and the sentries behind the mountain have all been killed. The enemy army has already rushed up, it is the troops of the Eighth Route Army! Facing the troops behind the mountain, they can't stand it! The enemy is coming! ”
Soon, in less than ten seconds, a devil squadron leader ran in front of Shan Tong Yuji in a hurry, paused his head, and pointed to the back of the mountain with his finger as he spoke!
Shan Tong Yuji did not suspect it, because more than 1,500 soldiers of the fourth battalion of the new regiment rushed up from behind the mountain had already entered the mountain and were engaged in a fierce battle with his troops.
Because of the contempt for the vigilance behind the mountain, they were killed by the fourth battalion to the top of the hill in one go, and the soldiers of the fourth battalion of the new regiment were densely packed with submachine guns, rifles, and a large number of light machine guns as a cover for the fire charge, and they hit the top of the mountain at once.
At this time, Shan Tong Youer suddenly roared angrily: "Bagaya Road, block it for me, hurry up!" Kill them and stop them! You, call quickly, report directly to His Excellency Chief of Staff Yamada and the brigade commander about the enemy attack on our unit, and ask for reinforcements! ”。
"Hello, Captain!" The leader of the devil squadron, who was grabbed by the collar of Yamatong Yuji, responded urgently, and then hurriedly ran back to the brigade headquarters to call the devil command headquarters in the mountain horse village!
