Chapter 69: Stalemate
On Henglan Mountain, the observation post at the front of the Yu Division.
Yu Xiaoqing had already pointed the lens of the artillery mirror at Gaoligong Mountain on the right side of Nantianmen.
At this time, the fog covering both sides of the Nu River had already dissipated, and the entire Nu River, Nantianmen and the entire Gaoligong Mountain were clearly visible.
It's just that because there is a dense jungle, Yu Xiaoqing and a few of his entourage can only hear gunshots and explosions, but they can't see the battle between the two sides in the jungle.
Although it can't be seen, this does not prevent Yu Xiaoqing from following him.
"It's definitely over." He Shuguang said, "The Japanese army has fully mobilized two infantry squadrons, how can it be resisted with the group of cannon fodder of the Sichuan Army?" It's definitely over. ”
Zhang Lixian said: "It must be admitted that this tactic of the Sichuan Army is still very clever, first using an assault team to attack the tree fort under the cover of fog. ”
"Then send two troops into Gaoligong Mountain on both sides of Nantianmen, and build support fire points on various commanding heights, so as to support the mountaintop tree fort."
"This will cause Takeuchi to continue to lose blood."
"Then in the end, Takeuchi will definitely die of blood loss."
"However, the Sichuan Legion still made a big mistake, they overestimated their own abilities."
"If this task is handed over to our Master Yu to perform, then there will be no problem, and only Master Yu can also afford to conquer the South Heavenly Gate!"
"Yes, yes." He Shuguang nodded again and again, and said, "Only our Yu Division can afford such a heavy responsibility, and with these cannon fodder of the Sichuan Army, it is impossible to take it at all!" ”
"Enough, shut up!" Yu Xiaoqing snorted, "Isn't it shameful enough?" ”
As if to verify Yu Xiaoqing's words, as soon as the words fell, a group of Japanese troops rushed out of the jungle on the right side of Nantianmen.
The Japanese soldiers were so panicked that they even lost their steel helmets and shoes.
Only the weapon in his hand was not lost, the discipline of the Japanese army was very strict, and if he lost his weapon, he would be shot.
But this scene fell in the eyes of Yu Xiaoqing and several of his followers, but their eyes almost fell to the ground.
How is that possible? The Japanese army was actually defeated? The group of cannon fodder of the Sichuan Army actually defeated the Japanese army in a jungle battle?
"Impossible!" He Shuguang's hands holding the telescope were trembling slightly, and the tone of his voice had changed, "This is impossible, how can the Sichuan Army be the opponent of the Japanese army?" ”
Zhang Lixian also subconsciously said: "This is too fake." ”
Although Yu Xiao was ruthless, his frowning brows had betrayed him.
Obviously, Yu Xiaoqing didn't believe the facts in front of him, how could the Sichuan Army defeat the Japanese army? This is not a Japanese scout or a Japanese squad, but a whole squadron of Japanese infantry!
And how many people are in the Sichuan Army? A battalion at best!
A battalion can defeat an infantry squadron of the Japanese army head-on, and the Yu division can't do it!
……
A few minutes later, Tsuneo Ejima stood in front of Takeuchi Renshan with a disgraced face.
"Yaga! Idiot! Rubbish! Takeuchi Renshan was angry and slapped Tsuneo Ejima three times.
Tsuneo Ejima was beaten, but he still paused with a look of shame and said, "Captain, I've disappointed you." ”
Takeuchi Renshan took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, and said in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on? Could it be that you have been ambushed by the Chinese army again? ”
"Hai, you have been ambushed." Tsuneo Ejima paused, "However, this is not the key to the problem. ”
Takeuchi Renzan said: "So, what is the crux of the problem? Why did you end up in a fiasco? ”
Tsuneo Ejima said: "The crux of the matter is that the Chinese army used a mysterious weapon, and our army was caught off guard, so it suffered a big loss, otherwise, we would never have failed!" ”
"Mysterious weapon?" Takeuchi Renzan said, "What weapon?" ”
"I don't know." Tsuneo Ejima shook his head and said, "But this should be a kind of bomb, after the explosion, thousands of thin iron nails can be sprayed, radiating, and the killing distance can even reach a hundred meters!" ”
"The imperial soldiers who were in the range of attack at that time were almost all shot into a sieve."
"What did you say?" Renshan Takeuchi changed his color, "All shot into a sieve?" ”
"Hello!" Tsuneo Ejima turned around and waved, and two soldiers walked forward carrying a corpse.
After Takeuchi Renshan looked down and saw it clearly, he couldn't help but gasp, because the corpse had really been shot into a sieve, and the face, neck, and exposed arms were all dense with black thin iron nails.
Takeuchi Renshan gently pulled off one from the corpse's arm, and saw that the thin iron nail was about 30mm long and only 2mm in diameter......
Takeuchi Renshan didn't dare to think about it anymore, it was terrible!
What kind of weapon is this? How have you never seen it?
After a while, the Japanese troops who had entered the jungle on the left also fled in disgrace.
The Japanese troops on the left were not much better, a reinforced squadron of more than 200 people, and less than 50 people escaped alive, and many of them were wounded, and were shot with thin iron nails.
Takeuchi Renshan decisively gave up his plan to enter the jungle to clear the national army.
Until the intelligence services had identified the weapon, the Takeuchi team did not dare to go into the jungle again.
But fortunately, even if they can't enter the jungle on both sides, the Takeuchi Wing is not helpless at the Nantianmen of the pass, because they can still dig the tunnel again through the engineer company and launch an attack from the tunnel.
……
Over the next few days, the situation was deadlocked.
Takeuchi Renzan also tried to sneak attack at night, but it didn't work.
Because the vigilance of the Sichuan Army was very high, and the number of flares carried was also very large, before the Japanese army approached, a flare had already swept up from the top of the tree fort.
Bright light fell, followed by heavy machine guns and mortars on the Gaoligong Mountains on both sides.
The Japanese troops who entered the attack immediately fell to the ground one by one under the crossfire without dead ends.
After a few attempts, the Japanese army reluctantly gave up the night sneak attack, happily and concentrating on digging tunnels, preparing to launch a sneak attack from the tunnels to the central big tree fort.
But the Sichuan Army was also prepared for this.
In addition to the ground entrance and the underground entrance, the rest of the tree fort is a solid stone wall, which cannot be dug through at all, so if the Japanese army really digs a tunnel, there is a high probability that they will enter from the original tunnel.
Long Wen is very cunning, he did not set fire at the entrance to the tunnel.
Because of the firepower set at the entrance of the tunnel, it is inevitable that it will be killed and injured by direct fire from the Japanese army.
Therefore, Long Wenwen ingeniously placed machine gun fire around the hall that connected to the entrance to the tunnel.
There is no mistake
