Chapter 297: Desperate, Forcibly Break Through to the South!

"Nani? Already warriors of more than 3,000 imperial warriors? ”

Kitano Takusai, who was hiding in the dirt pit with his head shrunk and commanding the counterattack, heard this, his face changed greatly, and this was almost half of the loss of his troops.

Cautiously looking around, I saw that in the rain and fog, the surrounding Japanese troops were in a hurry and chaotic.

The fire of the counterattack was almost suppressed under the new ball of artillery fire and the fire of their respective machine guns and rifles.

Around the triangular basin, in the central position, there is muddy ground everywhere. The corpses of the Japanese soldiers who were killed on the ground were everywhere, and there was no excesses in the field!

Blood is flowing, and the remaining half of the brigade and regiment of Japanese troops are desperately counterattacking, but the firepower is less than one-third of the opponent's ambush firepower, and I am afraid that the next battle situation is not optimistic.

Stabilizing his position, Kitano Takusai shouted: "The 203rd Wing has concentrated its forces, can't it break through to the south?" ”。

"Look, brigade commander, the south side is against the east-west mountain range in the north of Heng Mountain, there is a commanding height, and the 203rd Wing has been killed and wounded twice!"

Sugi Kamataro smiled bitterly: "The north has been blocked by the powerful artillery fire on both flanks of the enemy, and breaking through to the north can only be killed by the enemy's fierce artillery fire. The terrain on the east and west sides is higher, and the enemy's ambush fire is condescendingly strafing and bombing, and it is impossible for our troops to break through to both sides! Brigade commander, the one who ambushed us should be the main force of the Eighth Route Army! As for which one, it is impossible to tell! ”。

"Bang !!"

Kitano Takusai smashed his fist on the dirt on the edge of the pit, and said angrily: "Yaga, it's damnable! Could it be the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest direction of Jin? But even if it is the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest direction of Jin, how can we not be aware of it? ”。

At this moment, a communications soldier directly under the brigade headquarters hurriedly rushed to the earthen pit, and when he saw Kitano Takusai, he said eagerly: "Report to the brigade commander, chief of staff, and the front army headquarters to send an urgent telegram!" Also, the 110th Brigade of the 31st Division has also called back! ”。

Kitano Takusai hurriedly read two return telegrams with Sugi Kamataro, and soon the two old devils secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In particular, Kitano Takusai, who learned that Nanda Taijiro had learned of the news that they were besieged, was leading his troops to march west for reinforcements. As for Tada Jun's reply, Kitano Takusai couldn't say anything, even if Kitano Takusai needed fighter reinforcements from the air force, and around the ambush site at the moment, there was constant rain and fog, and the ground fog was too dense, so it was impossible to provide air support.

"Chief of Staff, pass this information on to the ministries at once."

Sugigataro responded when he heard this, but then said: "Brigade commander, are we going to continue to look for opportunities to break through now, or are we stuck to waiting for reinforcements?" ”。

"The rain and fog are so thick that the various parts are stuck in this basin. It was no longer possible to break through the encirclement, and the troops were ordered to shrink their positions first and move to the defense to hold on and wait for reinforcements. If the weather improves, the rain and fog disperse, and the visibility is high, then concentrate your forces and force a breakthrough to the south! ”

Kitano Takusai said in a condensed voice, and the breakthrough can only go south, otherwise it will not be able to reconcile with the 31st Brigade that is advancing westward.

Sugigataro was also obviously aware of this decision, so he paused and said, "Understood, brigade commander!" Immediately, Sugi Kamataro hurriedly braved the rain of bullets to deploy the various departments to move to the defense.

It was only at this time that all the units of the new regiment were already under the command of Li Yunlong, and they seized the time to concentrate all their gun and artillery firepower to carry out a fierce blow on the remnants of the 53 brigade in the ambush circle.

In the triangular basin, most of the terrain such as soil pits that are conducive to concealment have been leveled and filled in by Li Yunlong without leaving a trace. Most of the trees in the basin that could hold back the fire from the surrounding mountains have been cut down.

Fortunately, the rain and fog made most of the basin bulldozed, so that after the Japanese army was ambushed, it was difficult for the devils to realize that something was wrong after they were bulldozed by the trees that counterattacked, so under the rain and fog, it could be regarded as the blessing of the Chinese ancestors.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Bursts of violent explosions spread out in all directions in the basin, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the ground to ambush found that the ground was level, even if they were desperately in the rain of bullets, they took out the sapper shovel from behind and dug a single trench to avoid the counterattack.

However, when it was too late for the first time, the devil soldiers of the 53rd Brigade of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army, who were attacked by the fire of the new regiment and the condescending around them, can be said to be the first to be beaten all over the field.

In particular, Kitano Takusai didn't realize that the ambush was actually the main force of the new regiment after the fierce battle in Wei County.

Moreover, he did not expect that Li Yunlong would set up an ambush at the location of the first ambush for the second time, and suffered a heavy blow.

At this time, the casualties of the devil units of the 53 Brigade Regiment, which were constantly being crushed by firepower, continued to expand. Due to the rain and fog, the Japanese troops in various units were in disarray, and some Japanese troops launched several charges and counterattacks against the ambushes of the new regiment troops in the surrounding mountains without waiting for Kitano Takusai's orders.

However, this made the devil troops around the charging Japanese troops also confused, and they thought that it was the order to charge and counterattack issued by the Kitano Takusai Brigade Headquarters, and they also launched an attack.

In such a chaotic ambush battlefield, the Japanese 53 Brigade and Regiment fought separately, and some charges counterattacked. Some of the mobile brigade headquarters close to Kitano Takusai were able to go on the defensive after receiving timely orders, and stood firm for reinforcements.

When Kitano Takusai and the brigade chief of staff, Sugi Kamataro, realized that something was wrong, after being killed by the new regiment of more than 3,000 Japanese troops, they charged back several times, and the devil troops who wanted to seize the commanding heights occupied by the surrounding units of the new regiment were successively ambushed by the new regiment firepower and killed at least 2,000 people.

As the sound of Japanese gunfire on the ambush battlefield subsided significantly, Kitano Takusai quickly realized that something was wrong.

Until a devil soldier risked his life to report to the mobile brigade headquarters, Kitano Takusai suddenly pulled out his katana and cursed!

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, a bunch of guys who act on their own! When the war is over, it must be punished severely! Eight grid tooth road! ”

Sugi Kamataro, the chief of staff of the brigade who had already rushed back, said urgently: "Brigade commander, brigade commander, the situation is not good. According to the emergency reports of the ministries, we may only have less than 2,000 men left! ”。

"Nani? Less than two thousand? Kitano Takusai couldn't believe it, but the sound of counterattack guns of the surrounding Japanese troops had become a lot more scarce, at least it was impossible for 3,000 people to counterattack guns.

Therefore, after being forced for more than ten seconds, Kitano Takusai had to believe it!

"It's impossible to stay on the sidelines! Command the ministries, concentrate your forces, and assault south! "The firepower of the new regiment around is still pouring down violently, indicating that the enemy's ammunition on the other side is very sufficient, and I am afraid that it will not be exhausted until they are annihilated.

Thinking of these possibilities, Kitano Takusai decided to last Yibo and concentrate all the forces of the remnants to forcibly break through to the south.

But Sugi Putaro hurriedly said: "Brigade commander, no! The enemy forces marched south to occupy the commanding heights of the mountains, the highest of which was more than 600 meters above sea level. There were at least more than 2,000 enemy troops on it, with a full collection of guns and powerful firepower. At this time, he made a desperate bet and forcibly broke through to the south, with little success rate, and the brigade commander !! ”。
