612. Strong firepower to cut off reinforcements

Now the Japanese army is in the position of the first battalion of the 1085th Regiment, and this phenomenon of insufficient strength has been formed, and the captain of the devil brigade has no troops to send, so he can only put the last mobile unit squad on top to assist a squadron in the stabbing squadron.

And the commander of the 1085th regiment Yang has been paying close attention to the battle situation on the position of the first battalion, and now he sees that the first battalion cannot carry it down, and there is no obvious numerical advantage.

Commander Yang ordered the second battalion of the second line to send their reserve five companies, and the fifth company of the second battalion had been staying in the trenches, barely fighting all day, full of physical strength, and strong will to fight, and had long been suffocating and screaming on the second line.

At this time, as soon as this new force was released, the Japanese army in the battle situation was greatly impacted, and many devils were now exhausted after a whole day of hard fighting, and naturally they were going to be defeated and retreated.

In fact, the Chinese army likes to fight this kind of battle with devils in terms of numbers, and does not like to fight with devils in this kind of battle of firepower, because they can't play devils, but they fight for numbers, and our troops have people, and they are in the middle of it.

In this way, the Japanese army, which had no troops to send, was finally defeated and retreated one after another, but although the devils were defeated, they were not defeated, but they retreated step by step under the cover of each other in an organized manner.

Coupled with the machine guns and mortars behind the devil, they were waiting for the Chinese army in a fierce manner, so the commander of the 1085th Regiment Yang accepted it when he saw it, and called the trumpeters to blow the call to collect the troops, and the two sides retreated separately.

In the whole day, counting the whole day, the devil's attack was launched several times at this point alone, and in the end, it was a draw.

……

Today, the first battalion fought in the first line position for a whole day, and in the evening, Regiment Commander Yang replaced the second battalion, and the two battalions changed guards, allowing the first battalion to rest on the second line.

Lao Duan's third battalion was in too many injuries, and now it was still a period of recuperation, so Regiment Commander Yang did not push the third battalion forward, but let them rest well.

However, the third battalion was not idle, and all day long in the rumbling of guns, they became hard-working marmots, constantly digging fortifications, mainly digging tunnels.

This thing is really too much work, just a few hundred people in their three battalions, digging all day, and only then did they dig out two tunnel bunkers, which have not yet been connected.

Everyone dug out the soil, with sandbags on it, as a layer of soil for the chest wall and bunker, but Yuwang Mountain is not a lonely mountain, there are still a few roads in the back mountain, and the rear is linked.

The 184th Division sent heavy troops to defend the road of external communication with the back mountain, which is the lifeline of 8,000 people, and all supplies, whether it is grain, grass or ammunition, are transported to Yuwang Mountain from this road.

However, just in case, the garrison of this road is also starting to dig a tunnel, preparing to dig a tunnel out, which will be linked to the rear, similar to the umbilical cord of the fetus, to transport blood and nutrients.

Anyway, no matter how happy the fight is at the foot of the mountain, the mountain is still digging, and it doesn't stop, it seems that it is ready to hollow out this mountain, and Master Zhang said:

"We are digging a grave for the devil, if we can't kill the devil, then this grave will be kept for ourselves."

Taking advantage of the frustration of the devils who had made no progress after a day of strong attack, the 184th Division organized a number of troops to carry out a night attack, and the purpose of the night attack was not all to kill and injure the enemy.

If you can kill the devil, try to kill it, it doesn't matter if you don't do it, the point is to attack and disturb, that is, don't let the devil have a good rest, the devil has been attacking all day, most of the people are very tired, and as a result, they have been attacked and disturbed at night, making the devil go crazy.

Just like the mosquitoes in the summer, they come to infest you when you are most sleepy, you can't hit it, you can't drive it away, and you can't sleep well.

Alas! I can't live this day.

I can't get by, the follow-up troops of the devil have been driven over in a steady stream, and a new group of people have come to the fifth and tenth divisions, and the level of the Japanese army attacking Yuwang Mountain has risen from the wing to the brigade level, commanded by Major General Shun Sakamoto.

This Sakamoto Shun was the commander of the Sakamoto detachment of the 59th Army of the Northwest Army in Linyi, and the Sakamoto detachment of the Fifth Division was strongly blocked by the 59th Army in Linyi.

was blocked in Sakamoto, Linyi River, lost the opportunity to join Taierzhuang with Seya of the 10th Division, and was also scolded and reprimanded by Lieutenant General Seishiro Sakagaki, the commander of the 5th Division.

This time, for the sake of shame, Sakamoto took the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division (known as the Flower of the Japanese Army), plus the artillery wing of the division, and rushed all the way south, preparing to take Yuwang Mountain and Xuzhou in one fell swoop, and justify himself.

The original Keitaro Hirano Nakasa was also placed under the command of Major General Sakamoto, and as soon as Sakamoto came, he found that the fatigue and tactical problems of the Hirano United team and immediately adjusted it.

First, let the Hirano Wing rest in place as the general reserve, and change the 21st Brigade and the 41st Wing as the main attack, no longer besieging everywhere, but focusing on breakthrough tactics.

When the brigade came, it was immediately different, it was a chorus of 10,000 cannons, of course, it was not a welcome cannon, but a heavy artillery that really hit Yuwang Mountain.

Yuwang Mountain does not seem to be an independent peak, but several mountains that rise gently on a gentle slope, leaning together, mainly composed of East Mountain and West Mountain.

Despite this, the whole mountain was shaken by heavy artillery, flames and smoke, but fortunately, most of the Chinese soldiers dug caves and hid in the L-shaped caves, which made them feel safer.

Everyone silently endured the first three axes of the devil, planes, artillery, tanks, as soon as the sound of artillery stopped, the tank was coming, the tank could not climb Yuwang Mountain, but it could deal with the forward position at the foot of the mountain.

Since the anti-tank weapons were all killed by the devil's 92-step guns, now we can only watch the devil's tanks run rampant at the foot of the mountain, although a few of them will be blown up by the Chinese soldiers, but it has no impact on the overall situation.

The defenders at the foot of the mountain can only wait for the devil's infantry to rush over and kill them together, and the devil's tank will lose its effect.

But the devil is now obedient, and he doesn't want to get too entangled in hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese soldiers, but uses more of his superior firepower to attack the Chinese soldiers and the fortifications they build.

Although this Sakamoto did not win against Zhang Zizhong of the 59th Army, it cannot be denied that he is an excellent commander, and he does have a set of commanding operations.

Sakamoto sent infantry to fight with the Chinese soldiers who rushed up, but his goal was not to fight the stab, which was only to temporarily eliminate the entanglement in front of him, or to contain the trouble in front of him.

Sakamoto's vision is cast farther away, that is, on the mountain, and he wants his subordinates to overtake the attack, or jump attack, and rush directly to the mountain.

Therefore, while the defenders at the foot of the mountain were fighting with the devils, the sound of mortar and infantry shells falling and exploding was constantly sounding behind him, and Sakamoto was cutting off the fire road.

Yesterday Hirano was defeated by a small number of troops, but if he adopts the tactics of cutting off the fire road, he may be able to defeat the defenders in hand-to-hand combat, conservatively speaking, even if it is a failure, it will not be so embarrassing to lose, more likely to be five or five open, and finally the two sides will pay their own troops.
