In the troops during the war years, after being tempered and eliminated by blood and fire, the military commanders who stayed and rose to the top were all elites, all of them were elites in the war, and even old slippers.

Therefore, Luo Zhicheng couldn't figure out why this Japanese squadron leader on Lion Rock was so stupid, and how did he get promoted to the position of squadron leader?

In fact, the training of officers in the Japanese Army is much stricter than that of the Chinese Army, from the army primary school to the non-commissioned officer school, and finally to the army university, all of them are elite.

However, there is still a problem of the hereditary lineage of Japanese officers, and in some prominent families or families with bushido traditions, if the father is an officer in the army, the son can be hereditary.

Of course, if this son wants to be a hereditary officer of his father, he must have graduated from a military school in advance, relatively speaking, it is still relatively strict, much better than some hereditary in the Chinese army.

However, Japanese officers are not officers who can become military schools as soon as they graduate, or front-line commanders like squadron commanders and captains, which are more difficult.

Without outstanding graduation results and a long period of front-line combat in the army, it is almost impossible to parachute in to become a front-line commander.

Just as in the Chinese army, if you want to become a senior officer, the position of company commander is required to be held as much as possible, and having the position of company commander has a great advantage over others.

That being said, but things are not like this, the Japanese army is not monolithic, there are also things like Chinese relationships in it.

This is the phenomenon that there will be some waste wood commanders, but compared to the Chinese army, the Japanese army is super strong, and some waste wood commanders have not been tested dangerously, so they have been mixed, and even mixed to a high position.

This is a matter of probability, so the overall quality of the Japanese officers is much higher than that of the officers of the Chinese army, but there is still a little bit of wastewood.

It's just that the amount of waste firewood, compared to the Chinese army, has a very small probability, but such a low probability thing was encountered by Luo Zhicheng and his three battalions.

After years of fighting, you have to meet some good luck.

Now on the Lion Rock, Lieutenant Nakajima is already in a mess, of course, in terms of face, he still pretends to be calm, but he has lost a third of his precious troops for a mountain pass position that is not particularly important, and this blow is really too big.

It was even a big blow to the inside of the devil, making them feel that this squadron leader was simply playing the piano, and they didn't know if they would make a stupid move in the next step and take everyone to the road of no return.

Nakajima vaguely felt a trace of distrust from his subordinates, which made him even more unbearable from a prominent family in Osaka, and he had to give the hateful Chongqing army on the opposite side some color to show that he still had strength.

But when Nakajima contacted his boss, the captain of the Second Infantry Brigade, and needed air support, he was scolded by his boss and told him to defend Lion Rock instead of attacking.

This was a little embarrassing for Nakajima, and by the day of the next day, there was no air support and artillery strikes, and he did not dare to go down the mountain to fight the Chongqing army with such a small number of troops.

However, if he relies too much on aircraft and artillery, his subordinates will also doubt his command and combat ability, and he can only fight a battle with superior firepower, not a battle with comparable strength.

I can fight without aircraft artillery, Nakajima has already taken his boss's warning as wind in his ears for the sake of face at this time, and the glory of the family is the goal he pursues.

Of course, they still dare not go down the mountain during the day, the target is too big, and they will be surrounded by the Chongqing army with superior forces, so they still have to wait until the evening to act.

Wherever you fall, you have to get up.

Although Nakajima is a waste of firewood, he still has backbone, after all, he is a young Zhuang officer from a prominent family in Osaka and has also undergone systematic military training.

Luo Zhicheng's third battalion has been arranged at the foot of Lion Rock, anyway, now that the task of capturing the tongue of the Japanese army has been completed, the new order from above has not yet come down, and the third battalion will stay in place for the time being.

According to Luo Zhicheng's conjecture, the top must fight Lion Rock and clear all the strongholds on the periphery of Fengxin, so that the army can approach Fengxin one after another.

Since it is a guerrilla tactic of a field army, it cannot fight like a traditional guerrilla army, and there is a large corps to support it, and the small units in front only adopt guerrilla tactics, and the war must be fought step by step.

The problem is that Lion Rock is too difficult to fight, in case their three battalions share this task, if there is a time limit, it will be miserable, so, instead of passively accepting, it is better to take the initiative, anyway, guerrilla warfare requires the flexibility of each unit.

Luo Zhicheng was actually also gambling, betting that the lieutenant of the Lion Rock defenders made a faint move again, and waited for a whole day during the day, but there was no movement.

This is not in line with the temper of the Japanese army? Luo Zhicheng was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it from another perspective, he still felt that fighting during the day was very disadvantageous for those with few troops.

It was night, and Luo Zhicheng once again ordered all companies to go down, strictly guard each hidden point, wait for the battle, wait for the rabbit, and wait for the devil to crash in.

Nakajima was really lost, and at night, he began to organize night raids again, and this time he actually poured out of the nest, which was crazy.

The reconnaissance of the third battalion, which had found out the news in front, quickly transmitted the information back to the battalion headquarters, and Luo Zhicheng was also crazy, he was crazy with joy.

Luo Zhicheng hurriedly changed his mind and asked the Seventh Company, which was preparing to copy the rear road of the Japanese army, to get up now, detour back to the back mountain of the Lion Rock position, and follow the familiar path before, and copy the devil's lair.

The Ninth Company, as it had done last night, gave way to the forward position of the Kaishan Pass position, attracted the main Japanese force with the strength of one platoon, and surrounded the other troops on the flanks.

The Eighth Company was also used as a reserve, behind the Ninth Company, on standby at any time, the machine gun company was also pulled out, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, all the way to follow the Seventh Company to sneak attack the Lion Rock position, once they succeeded, they immediately set up machine guns and condescended to attack the enemy.

The machine gun company on the other road, under the leadership of the company commander Zhujiao, followed the battalion headquarters, and all the firing elements were adjusted to the forward position of the mountain pass position.

Nakajima, with almost all his troops, took advantage of the darkness of the night and slammed into the Yamaguchi position, this time he did not grind and chirp to touch the whistle, but launched a surprise attack with thunder.

He wanted to use concentrated superior firepower to break the defense of the Chongqing army in one fell swoop, after all, the capacity of the position in the mountain pass was very small, and at most the strength of a company was deployed.

A company of the Chongqing Army could not withstand the sudden attack of his nearly a squadron, and sure enough, the Japanese army quickly took the first line of positions in the mountain pass under the fierce blows of light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers.

However, when it came to the second defense, the Japanese army's progress was slowed down, and the Chinese soldiers in the position were fighting back, and they also used machine guns and grenadiers to fight the Japanese army.

Because the Japanese army wanted to gain time and fight quickly, after occupying the mountain pass position, they immediately withdrew to Lion Rock, which is what the Japanese army often does, and often do some unbelievable tactical acts for the sake of face.
