The Seventh Company's light and rapid march this time, the futon was not brought, anyway, it was a scorching heat, and in this place in Jiangxi, it was hot in summer, and it was so hot.

Moreover, there are a lot of mosquitoes at night, and everyone can only tie up their clothes and cover their faces with bandages and gauze when they sleep in the wild.

Despite this, there are still many people who are bitten by mosquitoes, if on weekdays, it doesn't matter if they are bitten by mosquitoes, but now in northern Jiangxi, if they are bitten by mosquitoes, it is indeed very dangerous.

Because of the malaria epidemic, mosquitoes are the main transmitters, and a large number of malaria mosquitoes carry malaria parasites, and once bitten, they will quickly contract malaria.

In modern times, malaria is just a minor disease, and a few shots of penicillin or artemisinin are estimated to be fine, but in that era, no penicillin artemisinin has been invented.

Penicillin did not begin mass production until 1943, and China did not appear until 1944, and it was a very expensive and rare drug, and ordinary people had no chance to use it, as for artemisinin, it was a later thing.

Therefore, when the malaria outbreak occurred in northern Jiangxi, even the Japanese army was helpless, and continued to reduce its personnel in non-combat, and the sanitary conditions in the middle and first were even worse, needless to say.

Many people who have malaria do not receive timely treatment, severe diarrhea, dehydration, or high fever and so on.

Before coming to Lushan, Qilian was told that the monk had purchased a large number of Chinese patent medicines in Wuhan, as well as some Western medicines on the black market, mainly quinine, commonly known as cinchona cream, an antimalarial drug to control malaria symptoms, which was considered to be prepared.

However, if you are infected with malaria, the current drugs are still not very effective in suppressing it, and it is best to prevent it from the source, that is, try not to let mosquitoes bite.

Even though it was a hot day, everyone didn't dare to wear short-sleeved shorts, all of them were long-sleeved and long-sleeved, and they were constantly smeared with panacea, and when they slept at night, they burned the smoke with mugwort leaves to smoke away mosquitoes.

Even so, there were still people in the Seventh Company, but compared to other companies, the number of non-combat attrition was much smaller, and because of this, the Seventh Company became the main company of the whole regiment.

In this rapid march to Minshan, the Seventh Company rushed to the front, and the rescue soldiers were like fighting a fire, and they could not wait for a moment, and the clothes of the whole company were soaked with sweat, and then they were dried by the scorching sun, dry and wet, wet and dry.

Fortunately, these recruits from Sichuan are all children in the mountains, and they have been able to endure hardships and climb mountains and mountains since they were young, and they can still bear this hardship.

Finally, on the evening of the 31st, the 7th Company, as the vanguard company of the 305th Regiment, took the lead in reaching Yangping Mountain at the foot of the south of Minshan, and the enemy had just fought with the 301st Regiment of the 151st for a day.

The second battalion of the 301st regiment and the devil brigade guarding this area were exhausted, and they all retreated while the night was dark.

After the three dogs arrived, the soldiers of the 301st Regiment didn't even have the strength to speak, and many of them didn't even eat, so they fell asleep on the ground, snoring loudly.

However, the medical staff and military doctors were very busy, and the temporary field hospital was full of wounded soldiers, most of whom were put aside to stop the bleeding first, and the seriously wounded were lifted back after stopping the bleeding, and then they came to clean the wounds of the wounded one by one.

Many of the seriously injured could not hold on to death halfway through, so the stretcher team copied down the names of the deceased, buried the body on the spot, and went back to continue carrying it.

In a trance, Sangou thought he saw Yang Muhua busy, but this is the temporary field hospital of the 301st Brigade of the 151st Regiment, not the 51st Division, and Yang Muhua will not be here.

The 301st regiment was tired, but the three dogs and their seventh company were not easy, and they rushed over after a full march of dozens of miles, almost a whole day's walk, and everyone was also tired like dogs, and they couldn't get up on the ground one by one.

Sangou arranged a few guards, telling everyone to rest quickly, drink water and eat something, and wait for the arrival of the third battalion and the regimental headquarters before making a decision.

In the operation of such a large corps, it must obey the command from above, and it cannot be used to fighting alone freely as before.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, Sangou took a few platoon commanders with Xiucai's bamboo poles and dog legs, and followed an operational staff officer of the 301st Regiment to inspect the terrain.

By about nine o'clock in the evening, the 305th Regiment had basically all come over and concentrated at the front-line positions such as Egongbao, Yangpingshan, and Minshan Daye on the periphery.

Regiment Commander Tang immediately convened a meeting of the battalion and company officers of the whole regiment, and according to the reports of the combat staff officers of the Sangou and the 301st Regiment, he decided on an operational plan for an immediate night attack at night.

The third battalion was responsible for assisting Yang Pingshan, and the seventh company bore the brunt, the first to arrive, rested for a while, and the three dogs they inspected the terrain on this side.

Although the Japanese army was exhausted from fighting with the 301st Regiment during the day, it has been attacking at night recently, and now the Japanese army has been very strict and skilled in guarding at night.

It is impossible to be caught off guard by the devil, and the night attack is generally a night battle, but the enemy occupies a favorable terrain, the position is set in the mountains, and the medium ** is basically a back-attack, which is very passive.

After Sangou went back and discussed with Xiucai Zhugan and a few people, he decided that he didn't want to put the whole company into the frontal battlefield of the upward attack, but now the regiment headquarters had an order to attack to the death, because he was afraid that some troops would not advance or preserve their strength.

However, Sangou was the deputy battalion commander, and he had a good relationship with Liu Guangyu, the deputy regiment commander and battalion commander, so he came to him to discuss, and decided that the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company would feint to contain the defensive forces in front of the Japanese army, and the Seventh Company would kill from the back mountain of Yangping Mountain.

Even if Liu Guangyu was promoted to deputy regiment commander, he was still the commander of the third battalion, and he didn't want the third battalion to be used as cannon fodder and lose a lot.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the night attack of the 305th regiment officially began, and it was no longer possible to talk about the night attack, as soon as it approached, the two sides immediately fought.

The Japanese light and heavy machine guns fired a series of dazzling bullets from the various machine gun nests, suppressing the fire of the forward positions.

The mortars of the 3rd Battalion of the 305th Regiment also began to operate at night, and the impact point exploded around the Japanese machine-gun fire point.

There was a lively fight in front, but the Seventh Company, under the leadership of Sangou, came to the side of the back mountain of Yangping Mountain in the dark, and could not reach the real back mountain, where there were also Japanese garrisons.

He could only touch it in the back position of the side, and Sangou took Xiucai, his marksman, and his sharp eyes, so that he could hold a telescope and carefully observe the situation back and forth by the light of the flares that kept rising on the mountain in front of him.

Due to the ferocious offensive of the 3rd Battalion, 8th Company and 9th Company in Qianshan, the Japanese troops in Yangpingshan were forced to constantly transfer their reserves to the positions in Qianshan.

Looking at the emptiness of the back mountain, it seems that there are not many Japanese troops on Yangping Mountain, and it is estimated that the men and horses of a squadron, because of the intelligence from the 301st Regiment, the Japanese troops on this line are probably a large group of men and horses, because there are Japanese infantry guns in the Minshan House.

There is no here, there is no need to pull up on the mountain, it is enough to have mortars, but I heard from the combat staff of the 301st Regiment that the 9th Division of the Japanese Army is now very well equipped, and some infantry squadrons are equipped with 37 flat-fire guns.
