Unlike the fierce battle in the artillery position on Zhao Zhi's side, the Tada Mixed Brigade outside the valley was much more deserted. After several days of rain, the outside of the valley was full of mud, and after the rain stopped last night, the mountain wind blew, and the sun was half a day today, Tada thought that the attack would go more smoothly. Tada was not surprised when the machine gun rang out on the top of the mountain, he thought it was the snipers clearing the expeditionary soldiers on the top of the mountain.

When he sent three waves of soldiers in quick succession to recall the snipers, but none of them returned, Tada realized that something was wrong. Those snipers are the essence of the 18th Division, and if they are destroyed in their own hands like this, then only seppuku is waiting for them. Not daring to think about it any further, Tada ordered his adjutant to personally lead the team and take a squad of soldiers up the mountain to see what was going on.

Of course, the adjutant did not disappoint Tada, and after returning from Mid-Mountain, he handed Tada a pierced Japanese steel helmet. Tada was stunned with a steel helmet, standing in the mountain wind and sweating coldly, it was difficult to explain it when he went back. Tada suddenly threw the steel helmet in his hand on the ground, sharply pulled out the command knife at his waist and pointed at the opposite valley, shouting hysterically, "Attack, attack, attack"

At Tada's order, the Japanese soldiers who had been assembled long ago began to discharge their usual pig burst formation, and pounced on the mouth of the valley with great momentum. "Boom" "Boom" The Japanese army's 60 mortars and 50 grenadiers also began to bombard Taniguchi's defensive positions, and the fragments of the bombardments and the flying rocks mixed with the gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire Taniguchi.

"Onboard, onboard" The Japanese soldiers fiercely held their rifles, shouted frantically, and rushed towards Taniguchi in the smoke of gunpowder. The hilltop positions on both sides of the valley that were held by the expeditionary force did not have the strong firepower of the previous few times to return fire, and the return fire at this time was much weaker. The mortars and rockets from the previous rounds are long gone, and now only a few rifles are still firing down the mountain, and it seems that the sacrifice of the Empire's excellent snipers is still worth something.

"Kill it" Tada pointed at the long knife, and the last infantry squadron left behind as a reserve also slowly pressed up. His own weapons are indeed inferior to the expeditionary force in the valley, so Tada plans to use the fierce pig assault tactics to concentrate all his forces to attack the valley without interruption, and he must take this place today.

Something made Tada even more depressed, they had lost contact with the artillery positions behind them, the walkie-talkies were rustling and there was no news. When the snipers were killed and wounded but the body could not be found, Tada already vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart, and now it was the turn of the artillery, could it be that the expeditionary force had come to reinforce it.

Tada's pupils constricted, no, something must have gone wrong there. "Muramasa-kun, have the scouts sent out in the morning returned?" Tada didn't care about talking about the officer's ethics and appearance, and grabbed his adjutant Muramasa.

"Not yet" Muramasa looked at his watch, it had been 5 hours, and according to normal times, the scouts sent out should have returned.

"Tada rushed out of the tent with a command knife, and by this time the charging Japanese had already exchanged fire with the defenders of Taniguchi. Just as the trumpeters began to blow the trumpet at Tada's behest, there was a cheer from Taniguchi, and Taniguchi was taken down. Excited Japanese soldiers poured into the valley mouth that had just been captured, and a few crazy soldiers simply stood on the fortified bunkers and raised their hands and cheered.

Tada didn't care whether Taniguchi had already taken it or not, and ordered the trumpeters to immediately blow the trumpet and retreat. "Your Excellency Nakasa, do you want to wait, maybe the scout has gone too far and can't come back in time" Muramasa comforted Tada on the side, and he looked at his watch from time to time. Just when the two were still arguing about whether to withdraw immediately, a loud noise came from the other side of the valley. With a loud "boom", a large cloud of smoke mixed with flames rose from the mouth of the valley, and Tada, who was still a few hundred meters away from the valley, was also shaken and almost fell.

The cloud of smoke rising from the mouth of the valley was more than ten meters high, which reminded Tada of the naval artillery during the Battle of Songhu, and this was the case after the large-caliber naval artillery bombardment. As long as one shot goes down, the attack range of shrapnel is within 100 meters, and even if you can dodge shrapnel, you will be killed and injured by the shock wave of the explosion.

Tada's reverie was interrupted by a soldier who had fled back covered in blood, "Your Excellency Nakasa, there has been an explosion at the Taniguchi position, and the cunning Shina people have planted a large amount of explosives underneath it. The whole Xiaoquan squadron was shattered, and the squadron under the tree was blocked in the valley by the collapsed rocks, and we couldn't get in, and now there was less than one squadron of soldiers outside the valley."

"Yaga" Tada almost fell headlong in the tent, but he held on to the command knife he was holding on to so that he didn't fall. "Gather the rest of the people and rescue the squadron under the tree," Tada ordered through gritted teeth.

"Your Excellency Nakasa, I'm afraid not. Most of the soldiers had their ears shattered by the explosion, and many were incapacitated," said the slumped soldier Cao, still coughing as he spoke. Coughing and coughing, he kept vomiting blood in his mouth, and the blood he spit out still had blood-colored lumps in it. "His lungs were shattered, and he won't live long" Muramasa ended the life of the soldier Cao with his southern pistol, and looked at Tada calmly, "Your Excellency Nakasa, we are defeated, they must have come with reinforcements, or retreat"

"But the squadron under the tree is still inside" Tada looked at the valley in the distance, where the gunfire was still uninterrupted, and it was estimated that the squadron under the tree that was lost in the valley would not have a good time, and what was waiting for them was only to be annihilated. "Sir, the artillery position has been occupied, and the artillery squadron has been completely shattered" The herald sent to the artillery position by Muramasa returned, and the news brought back gave Tada another blow.

"Muramasa-kun, you go and gather the team first, let's prepare to retreat" Tada suddenly seemed to be more than ten years old, and his whole person lost his spirit. Without raising his head, he waved his hand at the village and threw everyone out of the tent, and Tada sat alone on the matza and pondered. The village stood outside the tent and listened for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement, he sighed and walked away.

Tada Jun is a native of Hokkaido, who has been in the army for more than ten years, and has been promoted from an ordinary soldier to an adjutant. In 37 years, he experienced the Battle of Songhu. Later, because of injury, he was transferred to Myanmar and became a lieutenant in the garrison. Tada, who had always been self-assured and brave, had never encountered such a fiasco, so it was difficult for him to accept it, and he decided to defend his dignity as a samurai and end his life by disembowelment.

Just as Tada was about to stab himself in the abdomen, Adjutant Muramasa threw himself into the tent. "Your Excellency, you can't do this. There are still our soldiers outside, so you must cheer up at this time" Muramasa knelt in front of Tada, crying and begging to comfort Tada.

"Forget it, I'll retreat with you" Tada looked at Muramasa and slowly put down the short knife in his hand, in fact, Tada didn't want to die, as a veteran officer, he was very unwilling to lose. The remaining Japanese troops had been recalled by Muramasa and gathered together, with only more than 200 people crooked, some of whom were wounded.

"Leave all the wounded soldiers, they can't get out" Tada, who had come out of the tent again, straightened up and returned to his former indifference and fierceness. In order for others to escape safely, Tada had to leave behind the wounded soldiers who could not walk steadily, but fortunately, the Japanese soldiers were accustomed to obeying the orders of their superiors. Leaving some weapons and ammunition for the wounded soldiers, Tada took the remaining soldiers to escape along the gap between the two companies of Ye Tianying, and by the time Ye Tian reacted, Tada and the others had already fled into the jungle.

"Idiots, they're all a bunch of fools, what's there to fight these wounded soldiers?" Ye Tianyan kicked out a Japanese steel helmet on the ground in a hurry, and his two companies let go of a team of Japanese soldiers in order to kill those wounded Japanese soldiers.

"Sir, the people from the direct company are here" Ye Tian's orderly entered the tent and reported, Ye Tian had occupied Tada's tent as his headquarters. "Company Commander Zhao, how are you over there? My side is finished, the Japanese army outside the valley has been defeated by our department, and the brothers are cleaning up the battlefield" Ye Tianle pulled Zhao Zhi haha, and made the battle situation clear in a few words, and also took the opportunity to block Zhao Zhi's mouth, so that the direct company could not rob their spoils.

"Battalion Commander Ye, there are still hundreds of Japanese troops in the valley that have not been wiped out" Zhao Zhi is not easy to say, as a training instructor, Roger does not need to be so jealous of Ye Tian, he looked at Ye Tian directly, and kept talking. The engineer company in the valley had long been scrapped by the Japanese army, and there were less than 100 people left in the entire engineer company.

"I have ordered an integrated company to clean up the rocks at the mouth of the valley, once we can get in, our department will attack it immediately" Ye Tian was helpless, there were too many stones in the collapse of the mountain pass, and it would be difficult to clean up for a while. Although Roger's tone of voice was a little aggressive, Ye Tian did not dare to turn his face with the US military. Ye Tian has several ordnance divisions and military instructors sent by the U.S. Army in his own battalion, and Ye Tian still understands the character of these foreigners, and they are all pure and unintentional guys.

"My striker has already entered, but there are not many men and weapons, so please send a company to support us by Battalion Commander Ye." Zhao Zhi used a bayonet to draw a topographic map of the periphery of the valley on the ground, which Zhao Zhi was familiar with, and marked the terrain very clearly in a few simple clicks.

"There's a crack here, and from there you can go into the valley. My striker is the Bazooka team, according to the time, they should be going in, but I don't have enough manpower now, I hope that Camp Commander Ye can lend a hand, I will send someone to show your people the way" Patting the soil on his hands, Zhao Zhi stood up and took out a cigar and handed it to Ye Tian. Only when he is to his own people, Zhao Zhi will use tossing or throwing, and Zhao Zhi has always been very polite to outsiders. /AUT
