What's the sound outside? ”

Ota Sadamasa heard the faint sound of gunfire in the distance, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"It should be that group of rats from Zhu Po Mountain came out of the ground."

Since the Chinese troops defending Zhu Po Mountain were hiding underground during the day, Hakata Shigeichi called them rats.

After a while, a big Zuo hurriedly ran over and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Detachment Leader, the wing headquarters of the 1st Wing has been attacked by a sneak attack, and now I can't contact Captain Sato. ”

"Nani?" Hakuda Shigeichi was a little puzzled, and his face became solemn, "Send troops to reinforce the Sato team immediately and find out what is going on." ”

After about an hour, the gunfire outside was much quieter, and it was clear that the battle was coming to an end.

However, there was bad news from the Sato United, the wing commander Sato was killed, the radio station was robbed, and the entire wing headquarters suffered more than 400 casualties, of which nearly 200 were killed in battle, mainly wounded soldiers from the temporary field hospital.

Hearing this qualified news, Hatada Shigeichi's face was a little ugly, he didn't expect that in this night attack, he actually killed a wing captain.

In fact, the number of dead and wounded at the wing headquarters was not large, and some of the wounded who had just been sent down from the battlefield hill during the day were in the main temporary field hospital, and some of the seriously wounded were not transported to the detachment's field hospital.

Most of these wounded soldiers can be repatriated from injuries, and this kind of wounded veterans have strong combat effectiveness, because of their rich experience, even in the Japanese army is a very important soldier.

Just like on the battlefield of Songhu, the Japanese army was wounded a lot, but the medical level of the Japanese army was far greater than that of China, and many wounded soldiers could be rescued in time, and most of them could return to the army to participate in the war.

Otherwise, if it was just a recruit, the army would definitely collapse.

Historically, the Japanese army took advantage of a lot of this in the early stage, but the Chinese army was due to too many casualties and poor medical standards, resulting in many units in the reconstruction of the war, new recruits accounted for more than half, or even more, and the combat effectiveness of the troops was naturally not good.

Therefore, in history, in addition to the battles of Songhu and Xuzhou, the Chinese army fought very badly in the next few years, because there were too many recruits, which led to a decline in combat effectiveness, and it was very difficult to fight.

Of course, at the end of the war, this was also the case in the Japanese army.

"Baga, chase me!"

Hakuda Shigeichi said angrily.

If you can't chase it, how can you chase it at night? Moreover, the spy company and the reconnaissance company were familiar with the terrain, and took advantage of the night to hide directly in the tunnels of Jilong Mountain, and the Japanese army could not find it.

There is no doubt that this night attack hurt the Japanese army very much.

And Ota Sadamasa guessed that it must have been sent by the demon to do it, and this was not the first time, but fortunately, the United Flag was destroyed by itself and was not snatched by the Chinese army.

On this night, the Japanese Hata detachment was destined to not be able to rest well, and it was on guard everywhere to guard against the night attack of the Chinese army.

Leng Jie didn't know what the outcome of the battle was, but he heard that the gunfire in the south was a little fierce, obviously a fight, and the result was not clear.

It is impossible for him to personally lead the special agent company every time, and he is now the acting brigade commander, let alone in person.

He can't come on his own terms, and he has to be responsible for these thousands of soldiers.

The next day, the Japanese launched a retaliatory attack.

The Japanese army, having mastered a certain method, launched a retaliatory attack, capturing the three heights of No. 7, No. 8, and No. 9 in two days, blowing up most of the tunnels, and the defending troops suffered heavy losses.

In particular, on the No. 3 Heights, there were three large tunnels, seven small tunnels and more than 20 improvised anti-artillery tunnels, but after a few days, five small tunnels and all the anti-artillery tunnels were lost.

The lost tunnels were either blown alive by the devils or captured by the Japanese.

Thankfully, the three large tunnels have been under the control of the 54th Brigade.

The Japanese army also exhausted all the methods for these three large tunnels, smoke, poison gas, and bombs, but they were helpless, even if they blew up a section, they still could not eliminate the Chinese soldiers inside.

During the day, it was the home of the Japanese army, and at night, it was the home of the Chinese army, and the fighting was very enjoyable, and the casualties on both sides also increased.

Not only Leng Jie is distressed, but Hamada Shigeichi is also distressed.

After fighting for so long, I haven't been so aggrieved.

Just when Zhu Poshan's side was doing its best to defend, Luo Guangwen, the acting division commander, finally rushed to the Fuchikou fortress and took over the command of the 18th Division.

The arrival of Luo Guangwen can be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the 18th Division, but there is also the Botian detachment of the 54th Brigade led by Leng Jie to resist the Japanese in Zhupo Mountain, otherwise Fuchikou would have been lost a long time ago.

Luo Guangwen, who graduated as a Japanese army sergeant, also showed his skills after taking office, and shot several officers who shook the morale of the army, temporarily stabilizing the morale of the army.

After learning that the 54th Brigade had been holding on to Zhupo Mountain for almost half a month, Luo Guangwen was also surprised.

Luo Guangwen has a good impression of this little fellow, he had heard of each other before he came, but he had never met.

This little fellow resisted the Japanese Botian detachment for nearly half a month with a brigade of more than 5,000 people, and this record can be described as very outstanding.

You must know that the 20th Army of the Botian Detachment withdrew from Anqing overnight, and the 16th Army and the 49th Army were defeated and retreated in Madang Fortress, and captured Madang Fortress, and then attacked Jiujiang with the 106th Division.

Don't think about it, just with this record, this little fellow will definitely be rewarded after the war.

Although his age is not very good, the record is there, and no one can compete for it.

So he also wanted to hear Leng Jie's opinion on how to defend the fortress of Fuchikou, so he called Leng Jie from the position of Zhu Po Mountain to the division headquarters.

"Humble Leng Jie, I've seen the division commander!" Leng Jie gave a military salute seriously.

In any case, the other party respects him, and he naturally respects the other party.

"Little fellow, the purpose of calling you here is also very simple, I just want to ask you what you think about defending the fortress of Fuchikou." Luo Guangwen said with a smile.

Qiu Xingxiang was also a little uncomfortable in his heart about Luo Guangwen's opinion that Leng Jie was so important, but he also had to admire it in his heart.

"The division commander is serious, but he does have some opinions on the defense of Fuchikou Fortress." Leng Jie was not polite.

"Then you talk about it, let's listen to it!" Luo Guangwen nodded.

"In fact, in the humble view, no matter how passive defense is held, it cannot be defended, and it will lose the initiative on the battlefield.

Therefore, it is suggested that a counterattack can be launched appropriately to disrupt the battle plan of the Japanese army. Leng Jie said.

"Fight back? How to fight back? Luo Guangwen was also a little curious.

Leng Jie came to the map and pointed to Jilong Mountain, "Gather forces and recapture Jilong Mountain." Then use Zhupo Mountain and Jilong Mountain as horns to defend each other, and the Japanese army can be blocked in the outer position of Fuchikou Fortress.

Previously, Division Commander Li ordered the evacuation of Jilong Mountain, which led to the destruction of Brigade Commander Qiu's defense at Jilong Mountain. As far as the humble knows, Brigade Commander Qiu had built some tunnels in Jilong Mountain before, and if he used it well, it would not be the second Zhu Po Mountain.

If you are a little more courageous, you can gather heavy troops in Yangxin and launch a counterattack against the Japanese 9th Division.

As far as the humble knows, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army only has one brigade of the 18th Brigade, and the battle losses of the Potian Detachment during this period are not small.

At the worst, it can also repel these two Japanese forces, which can not only relieve the pressure on the fortress of Fuchikou, but also bring a lot of help to the battlefield of Nanxun Road and relieve the pressure there.

However, there are also quite a few problems, and it is not a big problem to recapture the Jilongshan position, but a counterattack requires at least 4 or 5 divisions, or even more.

Our 18th Division alone could only recapture the Jilong Mountain position and could not launch an effective counterattack. ”
