What the? Several highlands in Zhu Po Mountain were occupied by the Japanese army? What is that Leng Jie doing? Lost nearly half of the highlands in a single day? ”

The headquarters of the 18th Division learned that nearly half of the Zhupo Mountain position had been lost in just one day, and Li Fangchen was so angry that he scolded at the division headquarters.

Originally, because of the previous quarrel, Li Fangchen looked at Leng Jie unpleasantly, if it weren't for the opposition of the military commander Huo Yuzhang, he would have wanted to remove the other party.

"Division Commander, Regiment Commander Leng seems to be keen on tunnel defense, and it is very likely that his troops have retreated to the tunnel."

A staff officer next to him guessed.

This staff officer actually agreed that the tunnel defense was very good, and it was a good tactic to reduce his own casualties and stop the Japanese army, but he was only a staff officer, and he could not influence the decisions of these commanders of the division headquarters.

"What kind of tunnel defense, that's cowardice." Li Fangchen didn't have a good breath and said, "Give me an order, let the 108th Regiment immediately launch a counterattack and regain the ground position, otherwise he will be allowed to engage in military law." ”

Li Fangchen's order was finally sent to the 108th Regiment in its original form, and it also reached Leng Jie's hands, but it was casually thrown aside by the latter, and he didn't even respond at least.

On the Japanese side, because of the smooth progress in Zhu Po Mountain, they invested more troops and basically captured all the ground positions of the 108th Regiment in Zhu Po Mountain in two days.

At this time, the Japanese army had already invested two infantry brigades, and then planned to divide the troops into two routes: one way to attack the main position of the Fuchikou Fortress, that is, the headquarters of the 18th Division; The first went south and cooperated with the 9th Division to capture Jilong Mountain.

After seeing that the Japanese army had relaxed their vigilance on their position, Leng Jie began to plan a counterattack.

However, he didn't know, because the three main positions of Zhu Po Mountain were planted with the Japanese military flags, and even the defenders of the Tianjiazhen fortress opposite saw it.

As the commander of Tianbei Fortress, Li Yannian hurriedly asked what was going on with the 54th Army and why the Zhupo Mountain position was lost so quickly, and at the same time reported the news to the theater command.

To be honest, Chen Cheng was also surprised when he got the news.

Chen Cheng actually did not command the battle in Nanchang, the Nanchang side was commanded by Xue Yue, and the west of Jiujiang was commanded by Zhang Fakui, but Chen Cheng had direct transfer power over Tang Enbo, Guan Linzheng and Huo Yuzhang.

When Li Yannian's news reached Chen Cheng's desk, Chen Cheng naturally called and scolded Li Fangchen and ordered him to immediately recover the position of Zhu Po Mountain.

and gave orders to Huo Yuzhang and Tang Enbo to find a way to reinforce the Fuchikou Fortress and be sure to hold the Fuchikou Fortress.

At this time, Li Fangchen naturally did not explain to Leng Jie, and directly sold Leng Jie, saying that he refused to carry out the operational deployment of the division headquarters and retreated from the battle.

Hearing that it was Leng Jie's department defending the position of Zhu Po Mountain, Chen Cheng was still a little surprised.

"What is this Leng Jie doing? Why did you lose the position of Zhu Po Mountain so quickly? Chen Cheng was a little puzzled, and his tone was even more angry.

"No, he fought very well in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, so he won't be frightened by the two Japanese brigades." Guo Xin was also a little puzzled.

"Send a report to Leng Jie immediately, and ask him to regain his position, otherwise military law will be involved!" Chen Cheng didn't ask the reason, he just wanted the result, the fortress of Fuchikou must be defended.

Leng Jie didn't know what had happened to him when he lost his ground position, because he was planning a counterattack.

However, there is also a problem with counterattacking, that is, how to contact other troops in the high underground tunnels.

"No matter, let's go out first, as long as we hear the gunfire coming from our side, the other troops should be able to hear it. Although there will be some chaos, the Japanese army is not much better, as long as it can destroy the Japanese army. ”

When everyone argued, Leng Jie directly made a decision.

"So how are we going to fight?" Liu Xin asked.

"Someone must stay in the tunnel, one platoon each of the first and second companies will stay behind, and the regimental headquarters personnel will also stay in the cave.

The remaining troops of the two companies and the spy company were under my command, and they slipped out at night to attack the Japanese army. ”

As soon as Leng Jie finished speaking, Wang Yanqing objected, "Regiment leader, if you want to sneak attack, we should go." You are the head of the regiment, how can you take risks. ”

"But do you know how these sneak attacks work? If you go out directly, you will definitely be discovered by the devils, and you don't know as well as me about this kind of battle, so I led the troops to fight back, and the two of you stayed behind. Leng Jie retorted.

Wang Yanqing definitely couldn't compete with Leng Jie, and in the end he could only agree to Leng Jie's arrangement.

However, before the large army went out, Leng Jie first asked Wang Guangming to take people out and catch a tongue back.

It is conceivable that when the Taiwanese soldier was tied up and dragged into the tunnel, his eyes were wide open.

He didn't know why these Chinese troops in the tunnel were still alive, it had been a day or two, shouldn't they all be dead?

Leng Jie didn't have time to toss this tongue in person at this time, so he asked Wang Guangming to find a way to ask what they wanted.

Wang Guangming learned a lot of interrogation methods from Leng Jie, although these Taiwanese soldiers were brainwashed by the spirit of bushido, but after all, they are still human beings, and they are not so loyal to Japan in their hearts, but more afraid.

But in the face of the Chinese army, they sprinkled the anger they received from the Japanese on the Chinese army.

Soon, Wang Guangming brought what Leng Jie wanted, the distribution of the Japanese army.

On several high grounds, the Japanese army had troops stationed, as little as one detachment, at most a small team, and there were not many people.

As for the brigade headquarters and weapons and ammunition, it was on Heights 11, which was located in the middle of the three main positions.

Moreover, on the No. 11 height, the Japanese army also transported 12 Type 94 75mm mountain guns.

The reason is that I want to use this place as an artillery position to support the artillery bombardment of the main position of the Fuchikou Fortress.

Knowing this result, Leng Jie also felt a little interesting, are these Japanese soldiers so casual?

12 Type 94 mountain guns of an artillery brigade!

You must know that Leng Jie's 108th Regiment only has a few Type 92 infantry guns, which were captured from the Japanese army before.

The Type 94 75mm mountain gun is different, it is the standard artillery of the Japanese artillery wing.

Thinking of such a good guy in the 11th Heights, Leng Jie's heart was moved.

"Tell me to go down, don't blow up these 12 guns, it's all mine."

After determining the battle plan, Leng Jie led his troops to quietly leave the tunnel from the hidden hole that the Japanese army had not discovered.

As the tongue said before his death, the Japanese army did not attach much importance to these highlands, and was more on guard against the main position of Fuchikou Fortress or the direction of Jilong Mountain, and did not take too much precautions against the Chinese troops in the tunnel.

In their opinion, the mouth of the tunnel has been blown up, and they have set up mines or something, as long as the Chinese army comes out of the collapsed tunnel mouth, it will be discovered.

They would not have thought that the Chinese troops in the underground tunnels were alive and well, and there was more than one tunnel mouth that came out.

So without the Japanese army noticing, Leng Jie led more than 300 soldiers out of the three large tunnels and drilled out of the tunnels of the No. 1 Heights and appeared on the ground position.

Smelling the air outside, these soldiers couldn't help but breathe heavily, they were all suffocated after staying in the pit for so long.

In the dark night, the soldiers of the special service company were quietly opening the way, and many soldiers of the Potian detachment, who were still resting, were directly cut throats by the soldiers of the special service company.

However, just when everyone was about to approach the 11th height, there was an accident and was discovered by the Japanese army's secret outpost.

"Yaga! Enemy attack! ”

Seeing that they were discovered, the soldiers of the special service company wanted to rush up and kill the other party.

But he was still a step slower, and a crisp gunshot rang out, directly cutting through the silence of the night sky.
