Chapter 585: Monkey Head Ridge
The news that Abe's resolute team was chased and killed by the wolf's fangs certainly made Piggy Yoshio worry about whether the flag of the 10th Infantry Wing could be successfully recaptured, but it also further confirmed their previous judgment from the side, the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment and the wolf's tooth troops have indeed been transferred back to Meizhen by Xu Rui to deal with Abe Gangyi.

That is, it is not the main forces of the independent regiment that are standing in the way of the 10th Division.
So Little Pig Yoshio decisively issued an order to the 40th Infantry Wing, ordering them to take Monkey Head Ridge before dark.
Judging from the map, Monkey Head Ridge can be said to be the last pass that the 10th Division needs to cross, from Monkey Head Ridge to Meizhen is almost no danger to defend, that is to say, as long as Monkey Head Ridge is taken, Da Meishan, the old nest of the independent regiment, will completely open her arms, and any warriors of the 10th Division will wantonly ravage and trample.
After receiving the order from the division headquarters, the 40th Infantry Wing immediately deployed its troops.
Of course, the lost soldiers have been replenished by the supplementary corps, and the Japanese permanent divisions and regiments have only four infantry wings from the formation table, but in fact, this is not the case, because in addition to the four formed infantry wings, there is also a supplementary corps with at least two infantry wings under its jurisdiction.
Of course, this supplementary corps only has supplementary troops, no non-commissioned officers and officers, and their only mission is to replenish the formed wings in a timely manner after the reduction of personnel.
This time, the 10th Division went to Anhui, and it also brought two wings of reinforcements.
Therefore, the battle damage of the 40th Infantry Wing can be replenished quickly, and even the 10th Infantry Wing and the 10th Division, which were completely wiped out, are fully capable of recovering their establishment, but due to military regulations, Yoshio Piggy cannot do this, unless Abe Gangyi can bring back the flag of the 10th Infantry Wing, otherwise he cannot restore the establishment of the 10th Infantry Wing.
To get back to the point, just now, the first attack of the 40th Infantry Wing on Monkey Head Ridge was disintegrated.
Onoda Hiroshi immediately called Kumada, the squadron leader of the 4th Infantry Squadron in charge of the attack, to the front, and couldn't help but say that shaking his hand was two slaps.
The captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 40th Infantry Wing, Sanada Yusho, has been killed at the Black Wind Pass, and now the deputy captain of the brigade is Hisaro Onoda.
Onoda Hisaro is short in stature, wears a pair of short-sighted glasses, and has a grim gaze, which still gives people an eerie sense of sight in such a hot summer, and Captain Kumada, the squadron leader of the 4th Infantry Squadron, was seen by Onoda Hisaro as a thorn in the back, and he longed to find a hole to hide.
"Kumada." Onoda Hisaro glared at Kumada and said sadly, "I heard that during the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, there was a live-fire exercise, and you wet the bed the night before?" ā
The other squadron leaders who gathered behind Onoda Hisaro immediately burst out laughing.
Little Japan, whether it is the army or society, is a strict hierarchy, and the subordinates have no dignity at all in front of their superiors, and exposing people's shortcomings in public like Onoda Hisaro is undoubtedly very hurtful to people's self-esteem, but as a lower-level Kumada, he can only endure it, and he can't even tell the difference.
Kumada could hold back and not argue, but he couldn't help the shame in his heart, and his face immediately turned red with shame.
"Blushing? Feeling ashamed? Onoda smiled sympathetically, and then said, "Isn't it humiliating to be humiliated in public like this?" After a pause, Onoda suddenly began to roar, "So, isn't it a shame to be humiliated by the Shina army?" Don't you feel ashamed that a squadron of 250 people can't take the hill where a battalion of the Zhina Army is stationed? ā
"Hello." Kumada paused heavily and said, "Please ask the captain to give our fourth infantry squadron another chance, this time we will definitely take Monkey Head Ridge to the death." ā
"Yo Si." Seeing that Kumada's courage had been stimulated, Ono Nankuro said happily, "Kumada-san, being humiliated in public, is only losing face, but if Monkey Head Ridge can't be won, then it will not only be face, but also our First Infantry Brigade, and even the entire 40th Infantry Wing, yours, understand?" ā
"Hello." Kumada paused heavily, "The humble duty understands that the humble duty will definitely not disappoint the captain's expectations." ā
"Yo Si." Onoda Hisaro said, "I'll give you all the reinforcements of the last two squads left at the brigade headquarters, please be sure to take Monkey Head Ridge this time, please!" ā
With that, Onoda Hisaro bowed deeply to Captain Kumada.
Seeing that Onoda Hisaro actually bowed to himself, Kumada's face couldn't help but change greatly.
"Hello." Kumada paused heavily, and when he turned back again, his expression had become extremely hideous.
At that moment, Kumada took the fourth squadron of infantry with a complete complement, and once again pounced violently towards Monkey Head Ridge.
When he was still about a kilometer away from the defenders' position, Kumada suddenly stopped, took off his military uniform in three or two strokes, the short-sleeved military uniform and shorts were short, and only a pair of thong crotch pants remained, and then continued to go up with his saber.
Hisashi Onoda, who stayed behind, saw it, and said yo Xi, he knew that Kumada was going to fight hard.
When the distance was five hundred meters, it began to enter a dangerous distance, and Kumada began to bend forward to reduce the area of the bomb as much as possible, and the more than two hundred devils who followed behind Kumada also bent down, and at the same time began to pay attention to the ground under their feet.
Thankfully, I didn't step on the mine this time.
It seems that the defenders also hastily switched from rout to defense, and although mines were placed in front of the defensive positions, the number was very limited, and they had been used up in the first wave of attacks.
Kumada's 4th Infantry Squadron crossed the 500-meter line and continued upward.
The heavy machine gun squadron and artillery squad responsible for fire support stopped 500 meters away, and the four heavy machine gun squadrons began to choose a commanding height to erect the Type 92 heavy machine gun, which must be erected on the commanding height as a support fire for the attacker, otherwise it would be easy to accidentally injure the infantry in front.
The artillery squad also mounted four 82mm caliber mortars.
In the blink of an eye, Kumada's squadron was already within two hundred meters.
At this time, Xiong Tian and the more than 200 devils behind him were already lying on the ground and crawling up, crawling on the hot ground under the big sun, the taste was really good.
Kumada regretted that he shouldn't have taken off his uniform.
However, unlike the burnt body, Kumada's heart was cold.
It has entered a distance of two hundred meters, but the defenders on the hill still have no reaction, there are only two situations, one is that there is no one on the mountain at all, and the other is that the defenders on the mountain are all veterans, Kumada hopes that it is the former, the defenders have already run away, but reason tells him that the latter is more likely!
Enduring the scorching sand and gravel, Kumada continued to climb the mountain, and in the blink of an eye, he was within 100 meters.
However, there was still a dead silence on the hill ahead, Kumada instinctively felt a trace of fear, it was too quiet, the silence was so quiet that it made people tremble, as a veteran, Kumada knew very well that the silence on the battlefield was not a good thing, because the more silence it was, the more it meant that the enemy's blow would be beyond imagination.
Kumada even had an uncontrollable thought in his head, so let's withdraw quickly!
Kumada really wanted to turn around and retreat to the attack position, but the thought had just appeared, and the cold eyes of Onoda Hisaro immediately appeared in front of him.
The idea of retreating disappeared in an instant, and now, I can only rush forward!
Taking a deep breath of scorching air, Kumada suddenly jumped up from the hot ground, and then stepped forward with his saber, roaring hoarsely: "Tao Ci Gai, Tao Ci Gai ......"
Hearing Captain Kumada's order, more than 200 devil soldiers who were originally crawling up against the ground immediately turned over and jumped up, rushing up with the bright 38 big covers, almost at the same time, the Type 92 heavy machine gun on the rear fire support position also rang out, and a vague bullet trajectory flew over the heads of the ghost soldiers who bent down and charged, and shot towards the defender position of Monkey Head Ridge, and Monkey Head Ridge was suddenly beaten to dust.
A 100-meter sprint, even if fully armed, is more than ten seconds.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight seconds passed, and the dozen or so devils who rushed to the front had even approached a distance of less than thirty meters from the top of the mountain.
Then, a dense stream of bullets rained down.
Where the heavy rain passed, the dozen or so devils who rushed to the front immediately screamed and fell to the ground, and the devil soldiers behind saw this and hurriedly lay down and looked for cover.
The firepower of the Chinese is beyond imagination, and facing such a fierce fire charge is simply looking for death!
Therefore, it is better to wait for the supporting fire to suppress the fire of the defenders on the hill before charging upwards.
Xiong Tian immediately found a rock, the whole person completely curled up behind the rock, and then poked out half of his head from behind the rock and swept up, only to see that hundreds of Chinese soldiers had emerged on the originally empty mountain, squeezing a mountain range nearly 100 meters wide to the brim, even if you want to detour from the two wings.
The heavy machine-gun squadron in the rear opened heavy fire, pouring a dense rain of bullets into the hill frantically.
However, the firepower of the Chinese on the hill did not weaken in the slightest, and every time the ghost soldiers of Kumada's squadron wanted to get up and charge, they would immediately be ruthlessly fired by machine-gun fire, and Kumada immediately knew that it was obviously unrealistic to expect the heavy machine-gun squadron to achieve comprehensive fire suppression, and the fourth squadron could only figure out its own way.
"Hey, you're here." Kumada beckoned to the grenadiers not far behind him.
The three devils of the grenadier group hurriedly came over, and the cat's waist hid behind Kumada, and he didn't forget to salute for the first time.
Kumada pointed to the mountain through the rocks and said in a deep voice, "Kill this heavy machine gun on it!" ā
