1080. Pursue the Japanese Brigade Headquarters
As soon as he thought that the Japanese army did not have the time and mind to ambush the Ninth Company, Luo Zhicheng immediately ordered the Ninth Company to speed up, and the whole army threw away the burdens such as the bags of grain, and rushed forward lightly, so as to catch up and bite the Japanese brigade headquarters.
At the same time, after Luo Zhicheng determined the location of the Ninth Company and the route of pursuit, he quickly calculated the approximate location according to the speed of the soldiers' rapid march.
The seventh company and the eighth company were ordered to leave a squad to deal with the battlefield, and immediately return to the Mantou Mountain position after the processing, and the rest of the troops approached several positions pursued by the ninth company at full speed.
Among them, the seventh company was the closest in a straight line, and immediately took a shortcut and inserted it in the direction of Fengxincheng to intercept the advance route of the Japanese brigade headquarters, and the eighth company forcibly marched towards the waist of the Japanese army to surprise and cut off.
After the order was given, the whole army threw away the burden on their bodies, only took weapons and ammunition, and began to march forcefully, and the troops in front finally bit the tail of the Japanese army at a place called Ganshu Ridge.
This tail is still a big tail, it is the two infantry guns of the Japanese army, at this time the Japanese artillery unit and transport team are sweating profusely, Fei Jin is pulling the two guns, and is struggling to advance on the bumpy "road".
Several mules and horses could not bear the constant whipping of the whip, and had to neigh, but then it was not the whipping, and the poor mules and horses, in a burst of gunfire, fell to the ground.
The transport squad and artillery unit of the Japanese army were not infantry combat units, but only a squad of more than a dozen escort troops, and these dozen or so people immediately turned around and acted as the rear of the palace, blocking the vanguard of the Ninth Company on the spot.
As soon as the fire was connected here, the main force of the Ninth Company behind was even more excited, running like a dog, and finally caught up with the devil, I heard that the Japanese brigade headquarters and infantry artillery were in front, and this big fish was really caught.
Tonight's seven and eight consecutive ping-pong games played for most of the night, which made Jiulian's heart itch uncomfortably, watching the brother troops eating meat, they didn't even drink a sip of soup, they were too hungry and thirsty.
When the battalion headquarters ordered them to sneak attack the Japanese brigade headquarters, the commander of the ninth company, Tienon, could not say his intention to act because he wanted to keep military secrets, but the direction of the troops' advance also made the brothers very excited.
Although everyone didn't know at first that they were going to sneak attack the Japanese army's brigade headquarters, the sneaky march at night was clearly to sneak attack the Japanese army or copy the back road of the Japanese army.
This made everyone very happy, and finally it was the turn of the Ninth Company to appear, but after touching the night road for most of the night, touching the enemy's camp, and finding that it was empty, which disappointed everyone.
However, the battalion headquarters then gave the order to rush into pursuit of the enemy, and everyone immediately began to chase after them, and finally the troops in front caught up with the enemy.
When the troops at the front and the Japanese artillery escort squad fought, the main force of the Ninth Company behind was advancing even more desperately, but the commander of the Ninth Company, Tienon, immediately ordered the three platoon commanders to deploy their forces and overtake the attack.
The front unit is a squad of the first platoon of the Ninth Company, and the squad leader is Huang Jinkui, a soldier who escaped from the defense of Nanjing, and later joined the Baohua Mountain Self-Defense Brigade in Baohua Mountain, and later became a member of the Loyal Salvation Army, that is, the member of the Baohua Mountain Brigade of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army.
Huang Jinkui led a squad of people to rush violently, overtook the attack, and directly skipped the Japanese artillery escort squad, and slanted into the back of the devil's artillery and transport crowd.
The artillery guard squad in the back was handed over to the brother troops who immediately followed, and it was also two squads in a platoon, and the platoon commander Lian Fushou did not go to fight with the Japanese artillery escort squad for the sake of his own squad, but also went beyond the attack and followed the first squad.
The Japanese artillery escort squad was a little dumbfounded, why did the Chinese army ignore them and treat them as air, it was really too deceitful.
But just as this escort squad was about to turn back to catch up with the attacking Chinese army, a large number of Chinese troops came up from behind, which was the main force of the second and third platoons of the Ninth Company.
The forces of the second platoon quickly deployed, occupying the hills on both sides, condescendingly, the machine guns suppressed the fire, the grenade center blossomed, and the last charge quickly took down this escort squad.
When the Ninth Company entered the Japanese army's transport squad and artillery squad one by one, there was almost no resistance, just like chopping vegetables and cutting melons, barging guns and knives, and short-hitting weapons that tightened up and slashed with continuous weapons, and beat the devils who had no weapons in their hands to the ground.
The second and third squads that followed behind were also serving with bayonets, stabbing some of the devils who were injured on the ground to death one by one.
Harada, the commander of the Japanese army, knew how difficult his fate was tonight when he heard the dense gunfire of Chinese and Czech guns behind him, but now he could no longer ignore it.
This is also a mistake in his command, but since tonight, he seems to have never succeeded in commanding, as if he was cursed, he was restrained everywhere, and he made mistakes everywhere.
Harada condemned himself for not putting his troops in front, and the artillery squad behind him had only one escort squad, and at least one infantry squad to protect and rear.
But he didn't, maybe he would have abandoned these two bulky infantry guns, if it weren't for these two infantry guns, they would probably be almost outside Fengxin City.
But he hesitated and held the big, hesitating whether to abandon it or take it with him, and the big one was a guard squad, and he could still resist it for a while.
But I didn't expect that this time the Chinese army would come so quickly and violently, and at once it would crush the artillery and transport teams, and now it will soon come behind the infantry squadron.
Therefore, Captain Harada no longer cares about his head at this moment, and has to turn around the infantry squadron and make a counter-charge against the pursuing soldiers of the Chinese army.
This counter-charge is indeed enough for the first platoon of the Ninth Company, and the first platoon of the Ninth Company is at a time when morale is high, and they are full of soft eggs like a transport team.
The unsuspecting platoon of the Ninth Company suddenly collided with the counter-charge of the fierce Japanese infantry squadron, and was instantly overwhelmed by the Japanese army, and in a few rounds, the entire platoon was almost consumed.
Seeing the former dear comrades-in-arms, constantly falling under the bayonets of the Japanese siege, Lian Fushou, the first platoon leader of the Ninth Company, and the first squad leader Jin Jinkui's heart was on fire, and at this moment, they did not choose to retreat and withdraw from the battle, but also rushed straight forward.
The soldiers of a platoon soon all died heroically, and the follow-up troops did not follow up at once, and could only watch dozens of brothers die tragically under the guns and bayonets of the Japanese army.
War is like this, everything changes in an instant, when the luck is bad, no matter how powerful the person is, he can't withstand it, the ninth company and a platoon rush to kill too fast, and the follow-up troops are too far away, and this doom is also inevitable in chance.
However, the sacrifice of the first platoon of the Ninth Company played a positive role in the overall situation, and delayed the pace of the Japanese brigade in time, and the Japanese brigade headquarters and infantry squadron would never be able to get out of Ganshuridge if they did not get out of Ganshuling at this time.
The terrain of Ganshulong is very interesting, only four or five kilometers away from Fengxin, it is on the verge of a vacuum of force control, and its terrain belongs to the mountains on both sides, and there is a ridge in the middle.
