Chapter 216: Night Attack (Second Shift)
The company commander, with lights in front, seems to be a headquarters of devils. Do you want to check it out? ”
At the foot of Zhu Po Mountain, in a forest, nearly 100 soldiers of the special service company were hidden in it, and the Japanese army was less than 20 meters away from them, but they did not notice it.
"Are you sure? Is it the command of the Japanese army? Brigade Headquarters, or Wing Headquarters? Wang Guangming said in a deep voice.
"It's more like a brigade headquarters, there are not many people, only a hundred and ten people, and there seem to be two 92 infantry guns."
"Forget about a brigade headquarters, but mark this place well, send someone back to inform the commander, and blow up this place with artillery fire tomorrow." Wang Guangming commanded.
A brigade headquarters could not satisfy his appetite, and he had to find a wing headquarters or an artillery position.
Unable to find a suitable target, Wang Guangming continued to move forward in the dark with the spy company, avoiding the Japanese sentry and quietly heading towards Jilong Mountain.
However, when passing by Dawu Mountain in the middle of Zhupo Mountain and Jilong Mountain, there was a harvest.
Halfway up the mountain, a Japanese headquarters suspected to be a wing headquarters was found, surrounded by many Japanese patrols, as well as signs of small-scale field hospitals and cooking, which was no longer available to a brigade headquarters.
However, the Japanese troops were concentrated in the village at the foot of Zhu Po Mountain, and the headquarters on this mountain did not seem to be well defended.
This is also true, since the start of the Battle of Fuchikou, Leng Jie's department has not made a sneak attack on the Japanese headquarters.
The previous time on the No. 11 heights, it was because the Japanese army was in the hinterland of the 108th regiment defense area, and the dumplings wrapped were not this kind of decapitation sneak attack, so the Japanese army was not strong in terms of protection of the wing headquarters.
Perhaps since coming to the Chinese battlefield, the Hatian detachment has not been attacked by the wing headquarters.
As for the position of Zhu Po Mountain, most of the Japanese troops retreated at night, leaving only a part of the positions that had been occupied to guard, and the defense was very tight, also to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Nagai Brigade.
The Japanese army headquarters in front of me is indeed the Japanese Army Wing Headquarters, or the Wing Headquarters of the 1st Wing of the Japanese Pota Detachment.
Knowing that the Chinese army might launch a night attack at night, the wing headquarters was located on Dawu Mountain, two kilometers away from Zhu Po Mountain, and it was also located on the anticline facing away from Zhu Po Mountain.
The Japanese army did not study the so-called anticline tactics, and they set up the division headquarters on the anticline, just to prevent artillery fire from Zhu Po Mountain.
Because the Botian detachment lost a large group of artillery at Zhu Po Mountain, these artillery pieces later became a counterattack weapon for the Chinese army, and they could not find where these artillery pieces were hidden.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the Yamada Brigade stationed in the outer position of Zhupo Mountain has been attacked by several small forces of Zhina."
Just as Satowara was about to rest, a captain came to him and reported.
Satowara walked outside the wing headquarters and saw the firelight coming from Zhupo Mountain in the distance, and his expression was a little gloomy.
During the day, these Chinese troops hid underground and came out at night.
Although his troops now have experience, changing the battlefield to night is also somewhat disadvantageous to his troops.
Because his troops did not know where the Chinese army would launch a sneak attack, they could defend in one or two directions, but they could not defend in all directions, which was a headache.
I don't know how many imperial soldiers of the Yamada Brigade will die in battle after today.
In fact, the losses every night were not large, and the casualties were only more than 100 people, but after so many days, it was a little unbearable.
"Tell the Suzuki Brigade to be on guard, if the Yamada Brigade can't hold on, the Suzuki Brigade will be responsible for reinforcements." After Satowara gave the order, he was ready to rest.
Just as he was lying down in his clothes, gunshots were heard outside, and they became more and more intense.
Satowara hurriedly rolled over, picked up the gun and walked out of the tent, and a young man hurriedly rushed towards him.
"Yaga, what's going on?" Seeing the somewhat flustered wing department, Satowara hurriedly scolded.
"Your Excellency, Captain!" Shao Zuo immediately nodded and replied, "There is a sneak attack by a small force, with strong firepower and equipped with submachine guns. ”
"What?" Satowara was taken aback, thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Protect the wing flag, and then send a telegram to the Suzuki brigade, so that it can quickly return to help." ”
"Hey!"
Shao Zuo left in a hurry, and at this time the gunfire became more and more intense.
The soldiers of the wing began to defend nearby, and the wounded soldiers also took up their weapons and prepared to counterattack, and for a time the entire wing headquarters was full of gunfire.
What surprised Satowara even more was that he thought that there was only one Chinese army sneak attack, but after a while, there was also a small force on the flank that was not weaker than the Chinese army in front, and the situation of the wing was a little critical for a while.
"Company commander, the devil on the opposite side has too much firepower, we can't rush over."
Outside the headquarters of the 1st Wing of the Japanese Army's Botian Detachment, a lieutenant said to Wang Guangming in a little anxious.
In front of them, the Japanese blocked the road to the tents with a heavy machine gun and two light machine guns, and they were unable to rush through the tents that were clearly antennad.
Wang Guangming came to a tree, glanced at the machine gun that was constantly spewing flames in the darkness, and shouted to the people behind him, "Grenadiers, knock out that heavy machine gun for me." ”
The core of that machine-gun position is the heavy machine gun, knock it out and fight.
On the frontal battlefield, the Japanese army relied on grenadiers to get close and blow up the light and heavy machine guns of the Chinese army, so in previous battles, most of the machine gun positions of the Chinese army were knocked out by grenadiers.
The convenience of grenadiers is self-evident, so each squad of the spy company has a grenadier canister, and so does the reconnaissance company, which was captured in the defense of Nanjing before.
The spy company and reconnaissance company are the troops that Leng Jie focuses on, so in terms of weaponry, they will naturally not be bad.
Soon two grenadiers came to the front with grenadiers in hand, measuring the distance by the occasional bubbling fire.
After the test is done, the shells are put in.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
After the whistling, two shells flew out, one of which landed in the open field and one near the Japanese heavy machine gun.
After the explosion, the heavy machine gun went silent, and the grenadier knocked out the two light machine guns.
Seeing that the machine gun position blocking the road was knocked out, Wang Guangming took the submachine gun and shouted, "Brothers, charge me, kill the devil!" ”
"Rush!"
For a time, dozens of soldiers of the special service company rushed into the Japanese wing headquarters through the open opening.
Satowara did not expect that the Chinese army would still have mortars, or that the Chinese army would break through his wing headquarters with Imperial grenadiers.
In the scuffle, Sato didn't have time to dodge and was shot and killed by the spies.
Although it was a pity to see that this Japanese soldier Dazuo died, he still took the other party's command knife with his hand, and then grabbed the map and radio station and quickly withdrew with his subordinates.
On the reconnaissance company's side, the temporary field hospital of the 1st Wing of the Japanese Pota Detachment was attacked, killing hundreds of wounded and medical soldiers inside.
