The positions of Shiguling and Helin Mountain, it is rare that in the daytime, when there is a quiet time in the morning, the three dogs see this, regardless of whether the enemy is coming or not, and ask each company and platoon to leave the necessary observers, and the others immediately seize the time to rest.

Maybe this is called a kind of active defense, passive defense during the day, beaten to death by the Japanese army, and active attack at night, the devil who hit is going to die, this back and forth, it can be regarded as flattening.

Thinking that last night's offensive defense has played a certain role today, Liu Guangyu, the commander of the 305 regiment, can't help but thank Sangou in his heart.

"This three dogs, it is true that there are two brushes, and they can often make some good things, if it weren't for last night's trouble, the Japanese army's offensive would be more ferocious today."

The Japanese planes were very strong in reconnaissance, staring at the main force of the 74th Army every day, and today it is the third day that the main force of the 74th Army has crossed the river to the south bank.

If you don't cross the Shiguling Helin Mountain, once the 74th Army reaches Shanggao and builds a position with several other Chinese armies, it will be useless for the entire 106th Division to rush over.

Some people will say, why bother to knock Shiguling Helin Mountain, put it aside, and directly cross the river to chase it, you are a fool to be a Japanese army, this high mountain stronghold on the north bank of the Jinjiang River can be described as an extremely dangerous backyard fire for the Japanese army.

If the Japanese ignore the existence of this position, they will be miserable, first of all, this is a bridgehead position at the point of crossing the river, if they choose to cross the river here, and if they cross the river halfway, a large number of people will die in the middle of the unobstructed river.

If the Japanese army does not cross the river here, then this is also an important supply line for the Japanese army along the river, and the Chinese army will cut off the supply line of the Japanese army with a few mortars.

Well, then take a detour, from the north to Shanggao, there are also other units of the Chinese army in the north, waiting for the Japanese army to penetrate alone.

Even if you don't mention these, Shiguling is very close to Gao'an, less than half a day's journey, the main force of the Japanese army is fighting in front, I don't know how Gao'an lost it that day, and he was copied from the back road, and the consequences are very serious.

Therefore, even the Japanese army, which despised the Chinese army, or the 106th Division, which was eager for revenge, must respect the general laws of these wars.

I would rather be here with the Chinese army grinding foreign workers in Shiguling, rather than in a hurry to chase the 74th Army, and not in a hurry to expand the results of the battle.

The Japanese army is willing to grind foreign workers here, but they are not willing to do it, food and ammunition are not allowed, so many people, thousands of people in two regiments are here, and they can't afford to spend a few days of hard work.

Therefore, this morning, when the Chinese and Japanese armies were letting the sun dry their butts, the 302nd Regiment and the 305th Regiment convened several battalion commanders together for an emergency meeting to discuss how to retreat.

If you cross the river at Shigutan on the edge of Shiguling, the river here is wide, the river is slow, and it is close, you can quickly cross the river to the south bank, and you can soon go to Lion Rock and connect with the outpost of the 74th Army.

But the risk here is also the greatest, because the Japanese army is right under their noses, and once the Japanese army knows, it will inevitably attract the bombardment of Japanese aircraft and artillery, and a large number of people will die on the river.

Even if it is smuggled at night, it will inevitably be discovered by the Japanese army, because the Japanese army has already set up many sentry posts in this area where this river can be observed, waiting for the Chinese soldiers to cross the river.

Besides, the river here is wide, but the river is also relatively deep, there is no bridge, in winter, how to swim through, maybe halfway through the swim will freeze, sink to the bottom of the water and die.

Also, even if it doesn't freeze, should the whole regiment discard all weapons and ammunition? It's impossible, in case of a blow in the middle of the way, it's no different from a flock of sheep.

Therefore, everyone unanimously rejected the proposal to cross the river at Shigutan, and decided to take the land route and go west, to the west is Shanggao, where there are a large number of Chinese troops.

Because the Japanese army currently has only one 147th Wing, the strength is not strong, and there are still some people left in Gao'an City, so they do not have the strength to surround Shiguling and Helin Mountain, but they are just monitoring and attacking.

Especially in the west, the enemy's strength is even weaker, and the enemy here is also afraid, in case other Chinese troops come from the west, they will be flanked by the Chinese troops at both ends.

Therefore, only a little surveillance outpost was left on the west side, and the kind that was ready to withdraw at any time, and the enemy's main force was relying on Gao'an City, in the northern Lankeng of Shiguling.

The enemy is also prepared with both hands, in case the arrival of Chinese reinforcements, he will immediately withdraw to Gao'an City, and now he will be consumed with the Chinese army in the Helin Mountain of Shiguling, if he waits for the other troops of the 106th Brigade of the 111th Division to come, it will be easy to fight.

At that time, the initiative will be in the hands of the Japanese army, either heavy troops will take the Chinese positions here in one fell swoop, or leave a brigade of the 147th Wing to contain and starve these Chinese troops to death.

The other main forces marched west or crossed the river in another place, so that Shiguling was completely surrounded, and it was difficult for the three dogs and them to escape.

Therefore, the 74th Army and the 51st Division took this into account, and let the two regiments only hold on for three days, and after three days, they can retreat on their own, and there will also be troops to respond and rescue accordingly.

It's the third day now, and everyone has to face this retreat problem, and after setting the direction, the next thing is the specific thing about retreating.

Everyone arranged the order of retreat, the three battalions of the three dogs retreated last, and when they arrived at the back pit, the first battalion stayed to build a temporary position, waiting for the third battalion, and when they arrived in Shinao Town, the second battalion stayed, so that they covered each other's retreat.

The time of retreat is set for tonight, but when retreating, everyone will launch another attack on the enemy, or a night attack, or even attack in all directions, anyway, it is necessary to put on a fierce attack posture, so that the enemy will not notice that the Chinese army is retreating.

The 302nd Regiment, which had suffered more losses in Gao'an City, retreated with the 305th Regiment, and they went first, counting it as a reconnaissance force in front, and first went all the way to Chi'an Village, Shinao Town, to check the situation of the ferry over there.

If not, go all the way west, along the river, and as long as there is a bridge or enough boats, seize the bridgehead and organize and cover everyone to cross the river.

……

It wasn't until after noon that the Japanese began to attack in a pretended manner, and the planes left after a few shells, and the artillery fired a few weak shots.

The Japanese army organized almost a squadron of infantry, and after a few hits at the forward position of Shiguling, it stopped.

In fact, the Japanese army was no longer able to attack, and the death of the captain of the first brigade, Onizuka, dealt a great blow to the Japanese army, and the entire first brigade was withdrawn and replaced by the third brigade.

The Third Brigade of the Japanese Army is also a foreign worker, and they are not willing to repeat the old mistakes of the First Brigade, in case the command gives another end at night, it will be a big loss.

After resting for half a day during the day, I was forced to fight perfunctorily by the orders of my superiors, and I still left my energy at night.
