Hai, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff! ”

Hiroaki Sakamoto hurriedly responded, and then hurriedly dispatched the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 4th Infantry Wing of his brigade to the north to reinforce the 2nd Shan Tongyou Division north of Mazhuang.

A Japanese infantry brigade rushed north from Mazhuang, but fortunately, it was not far from the dozen or so hilltop positions guarded by Shantongyouer, because the hilltop position guarded by Mazhuang Mountain Tongyouer was Mazhuang at the bottom of the mountain.

At this time, Yuji Yamatong was killed by a grenade. When the dragons were leaderless, He Yongjie took advantage of the situation and commanded all the soldiers of the fourth battalion to attack with ferocious melee firepower.

The Japanese troops on more than a dozen hills fought their own battles, and the devils in the trench fortifications on each hill only had a small squad to more than 100 troops. Moreover, most of these devil soldiers have Type 38 rifles in their hands, and the firepower of the close-range fight is completely unable to withstand the attack of the submachine gun commandos of the fourth battalion and the fighters armed with light machine guns.

Less than five minutes after Yamada Hiroshi transferred troops to reinforce the Yama Tong Yu 2 Division, the devil soldiers on the mountain were almost wiped out!

"Battalion commander, the devil reinforcements are here!" At this time, the other three sides of Mazhuang had already launched a feint, which greatly restrained Yamada Hao's actions.

At this time, He Yongjie had already ordered all troops to enter the trenches dug by the little devils on the spot for defense, and the explosion smoke from more than a dozen hills continued to drift with the cold wind and snow.

"Made, there are quite a few of them, estimated to be the strength of an infantry brigade! Tell the brothers, stop the devil for me. Now we are condescending and occupy the favorable terrain. Order mortars, collect for me mortars, grenadiers for little devils, and see if there are infantry guns! ”

He Yongjie said with a sneer, the devil killed below looked like an infantry brigade, but in the eyes of a good friend, he just came to deliver food, so he ordered the herald on the side.

"Understood, battalion commander!"

The herald responded, and soon came back in less than half a minute to report.

"Battalion commander, two Type 92 infantry guns were captured from the position, as well as hundreds of shells, it is estimated that the little devil did not expect that we would kill from behind, so that it was too late to destroy it!"

The herald who ran back continued to report: "In addition, the devil also captured ten intact Type 92 heavy machine guns, eighteen light machine guns, eight other grenadiers, thirteen mortars, and more than 200 mortar shells!" ”。

"Good!"

He Yongjie's eyes lit up when he heard this, coupled with the mortars and other weapons brought by his own surprise attack with the army, it was enough to condescendingly occupy more than a dozen hills under him, and it was no problem to block the attack of an incoming devil infantry brigade.

"Order the artillery, immediately build an artillery position, wait for my order later, fire the artillery fiercely, and blow up his little devil!"

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

Subsequently, He Yongjie led a few guards along the traffic trenches to various hills, and the battalions and companies that were defending in them were boosted morale.

At this time, in accordance with Sakamoto Hiroaki's order, he hurried north to reinforce the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Devil Division, the 3rd Brigade of the 4th Infantry Wing, and the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the Yamatong Yuu Division, and the captain of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the Yamatoshi Division had already led his troops to rush out of the Mazhuang and enter the bottom of more than a dozen hills north of the Masho.

Jiro Myokuma holds a telescope and observes the situation on the mountain!

"Bagaya Road, are the 1st Infantry Brigade all rubbish? Eaten by the other party so quickly! Shan Tong Yuuji, this arrogant guy, seems to have gone to see the great god of heavenly recruitment! ”

Myokuma Jiro muttered to himself, and the chief of staff of the brigade on the side, Captain Nanki Taiyi, had very quick ears, and instantly heard Myokuma Jiro's complaints.

"Captain, look at this situation, Shan Tong Yuuji's troops are finished! What are we going to do? Nanki Taiichi said in a low voice.

Under the command of Li Yunlong, the new regiment and other units outside the village of Mazhuang immediately ordered the men and horses of the new regiment, the first battalion, the second battalion, and other units to start an all-out attack on Mazhuang after receiving the signal that He Yongjie had successfully raided the fourth battalion of the command post and captured more than a dozen hills north of Mazhuang.

At this time, the two old devils had already heard the fierce gunfire and shouting of killing in other directions of Mazhuang behind them, which was the information that the other party had already known that more than a dozen positions of the Japanese army north of Mazhuang had been captured by them.

"The brigade commander directly dispatched us to the north to recapture the dozen or so hills north of Mazhuang. Chief of Staff, look at it, now on more than a dozen hills, the shells fired by the two Type 92 infantry guns that are clearly audible have fallen into the horse village! We have no choice but to storm the mountain! Order all units to form battle formations, with the first squadron on the left flank, the second squadron on the right flank, the third squadron in the middle, and the rest of the reserves and other troops following behind to kill! We want to recapture these dozen mountains in one go. ”

Mikuma Jiro waved his hand, the snowflakes in the sky kept falling, and in the bitter cold wind, Miokuma Jiro also felt that he had to recapture the dozen or so mountains north of Mazhuang.

Because this is the commanding height, if it is not recaptured, Mazhuang will always be under the fire and artillery fire of a certain unit of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army on these dozen hills.

And this, even if an infantry brigade is killed and wounded, Mikuma Jiro knows that Hiroshi Yamada and Hiroaki Sakamoto will not blink an eye.

After all, compared to the annihilation of the main force of the Japanese army on the south route of the 2nd Division, the loss of an infantry brigade can make a decision even if it is Myokuma Jiro.

Nanmu Taiyi nodded emphatically and said, "Haiyi, captain!" ”。

At the sound of an order, more than 1,000 Japanese troops of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 4th Infantry Wing immediately formed a battle formation and attacked more than a dozen mountains in three directions, left, center, and right.

Although there are more than a dozen hills, only two of the main ones are at higher altitudes, and the rest are lower altitudes with gentler slopes.

However, the fortifications on the mountain built by the devil soldiers of the second division of the mountain are quite strong, at least there are communication trenches connected to other hills.

Seeing that the squadrons had been deployed, Miokuma Jiro did not engage in any tentative fire attacks, but ordered several Type 92 infantry guns belonging to the brigade to cover the infantry squadrons to attack and advance towards the mountain.

"Kill, fire, !!"

The leader of the devil artillery squad of the 4th Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Wing drew his katana and slashed down at the defensive position occupied by the 4th Battalion of the New 1st Regiment on the mountain.

Then, the devil artillery of several Type 92 infantry guns immediately loaded the shells, and after pulling the gun rope suddenly, several Type 92 infantry guns instantly rumbled.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The cannonballs roared down the mountain, and the snow kicked up by the cannonballs tossed up into the sky, and then smashed down.

"Made, order the artillery, fire the cannon for me, and kill the devil artillery under the mountain!" A devil shell fell less than ten meters away from He Yongjie, and the shock wave from the shell almost made He Yongjie take a bite of the snow on the edge of the trench, and then He Yongjie waved his hand and signaled the artillery to fire.

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" A herald immediately responded and ran to the rear to give the order.
