Chapter 516: Heavy Fire Support

Subee Hironojin's sword is indeed a famous Japanese sword, although it is not as famous as the demon sword Muramasa, but there are not a few Japanese samurai who know its name.

At least, the Japanese squadron leader who fought against Zhao Dayong knew the power of that sword.

Seeing Zhao Dayong swinging his knife and slashing, he didn't dare to block it, so he could only dodge.

As soon as they first fought, the two Japanese squadron leaders were completely defeated and completely suppressed and beaten by Zhao Dayong and Zhou He.

Compared to Subee Hironojin, these two Japanese squadron leaders didn't want to fight hard from the bottom of their hearts.

It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I've lost faith in this battle.

From the moment they were hit by artillery fire, the two men began to question Suwase Hironojin's decision.

By the time they saw with their own eyes that Subee Hironojin was killed by Zhao Dayong, they had already seen the final fate of themselves and those Japanese soldiers who were still struggling to hold on.

They had to admit that this team was the strongest fighting force they had encountered since entering the Northeast, completely surpassing the Imperial warriors they had always been proud of.

Those soldiers who could kill five or six, or even a dozen anti-Japanese fighters, were completely suppressed by their respective opponents at this time, and they only had the ability to parry, but not the power to counterattack, and it was only a matter of time before they were annihilated.

On top of that, there is a good chance that there will not be a single survivor of this battle, and their commander Kusaburo Okamoto will not know how strong these people are.

If that's the case, the next time Kumazaburo Okamoto fights this team again, he will suffer the same loss.

However, this is no longer something they can change.

When the scenery in front of them gradually fell into darkness, the two Japanese squadron leaders did not have the slightest reluctance in their hearts; They seem to realize something, maybe it was a big mistake for their country to start this war......

An hour later, the brutal white-knuckle battle was over.

A total of 417 Japanese soldiers died on this hillside, including ten officers; One junior rank, one captain, one lieutenant, and seven second lieutenants.

The casualties of the 1st and 3rd companies were not small, with a total of 236 soldiers killed, 49 lightly wounded and 12 seriously wounded.

When cleaning up the battlefield, Zhou He found Zhao Dayong to discuss the next plan.

"You stay and continue to be vigilant to prevent the devils from having a second wave of teams, and I will rush to the south slope with three companies to support." Zhou He's tone was like a command.

Zhao Dayong widened his eyes at that time:

"What? Do you want to go to support? That's not going to work! If you want to go, we will go in a row! ”

Zhou He's face was anxious:

"Less nonsense, do what I say!"

Zhao Dayong didn't buy it at all:

"If I say no, I can't! Don't think I don't know what kind of medicine you sell in the gourd, and you want to compete with Lao Tzu? Don't even think about it! ”

His words made Zhou He's eyes choked, and he couldn't say a word.

In fact, the two of them were all clear in their hearts, and Kusaburo Okamoto had no ability to send troops to attack again in a short period of time.

There were only 1,100 men in a fully formed Japanese brigade, and there were only three infantry squadrons, all of which had been folded here.

All that remains is a transport squadron and a machine-gun squadron, plus an artillery squadron of squadron strength.

With most of the troops lost and no infantry squadron for the main battle, what did Kusaburo Okamoto do to attack again?

Moreover, he was the commander of the garrison ordered to garrison Chifeng, and it was impossible to transfer the entire brigade to participate in the battle, and the three squadrons and the artillery remaining at the bottom of the mountain were all the strength of this attack.

In other words, the northern slope of Phoenix Mountain will be safe for at least two days.

Zhou He's intention to let Zhao Dayong stay was to let the first company temporarily repair, wait until the war was tight and go back to support, and at the same time prevent the 18th and 39th divisions from going around to the northern slope for a sneak attack.

Of course, no matter whether Okamoto Kusaburo comes or not, or whether Lin Guozhong and Zhou Zuopeng will make a detour and sneak attack, the company left behind can be repaired to a certain extent.

Although Zhao Dayong is more than brave and lacks wisdom, he can also understand Zhou He's kindness.

The two argued for a long time, and Zhao Dayong suddenly changed his words:

"I know what you mean, but I'm not as good as you in terms of mind, and if something really happens here, you can definitely handle it, and hold on to it; But if I am allowed to stay, I can only lead people to fight the enemy! So, you have to stay! ”

Zhou He suddenly stopped talking.

Indeed, Zhao Dayong's combat style is to be hard-hitting, resulting in a company of soldiers who are all like this.

What will bring what soldiers will be the final conclusion that cannot be changed since ancient times.

It is indeed more secure for Zhou He to leave a guard than Zhao Dayong, this is a fact.

When Zhao Dayong began to gather his team and prepare to rush to the southern slope to support, Liu Cheng was already preparing to send people to negotiate with Lin Guozhong and Zhou Zuopeng.

The negotiations were proposed by Lin Guozhong and Zhou Zuopeng, and Liu Cheng was asked to personally go to their temporary command post to talk.

It's just that this is just a delaying strategy that Lin Guozhong came up with.

Although the two divisions of him and Zhou Zuopeng still have an absolute advantage in terms of strength for the time being, their heavy firepower is obviously inferior.

Now that Liu Lang is seriously injured and unconscious, the two must report the situation to Zhang Haipeng.

In fact, Liu Lang didn't care about Liu Lang's life or death, and even hoped that he would die directly, and there was one less eye-catching thing.

But this time Liu Lang was ordered by Zhang Haipeng to assist in the battle, although anyone with a discerning eye knew that Liu Lang's real task was to monitor Lin Guozhong and Zhou Zuopeng, but the two of them were intact, but Liu Lang was seriously injured and unconscious.

Therefore, Lin Guozhong sent a report to Zhang Haipeng as soon as possible, reported the situation to him, and asked Zhang Haipeng to give heavy fire support.

Zhang Haipeng's lungs almost exploded when he heard this.

The elite of the two divisions faced a team of mud-legged people, and it was not shameful to say that they fought like such bears.

Moreover, he had already reported this matter to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and boasted that Haikou would definitely be able to completely annihilate this anti-Japanese force.

Now not to mention that the victory is not a word, even Liu Lang, who he sent to monitor Lin and Erren, was seriously injured and unconscious, which made Zhang Haipeng, who has always been cunning and suspicious, unable not to be suspicious.

Moreover, according to the data, the anti-Japanese armed force that called itself an "independent battalion" was only more than 1,000 people, so how could it suddenly increase by four or five times in just over a month?

Ate one of his regiments in Ningcheng, and now they are stubbornly resisting his two divisions and stalemate, are those people all three-headed and six-armed?

But this is already the case, even if Zhao Haipeng is unwilling and suspicious, he must send people to send another ten 75-mm mountain guns and twenty mortars according to Lin Guozhong's request.

Because he was worried that once Lin and Zhou Erren were forced to be anxious, he would directly surrender to him, and he would not even have a place to cry.
