613. The Master's Move

But Sakamoto brought more soldiers today, and he didn't spread it as thin as a pancake like Hirano, but a tactic of mostly containing and focusing on local assaults.

Even with such tactics, Sakamoto has not yet fought the tactics of the sea of people, for Sakamoto personally, he is a general who fights the Imperial Army of Japan, and he has to rely on the tactics of the sea of people to win, even if he wins, he feels very faceless.

Now Sakamoto's tactics of cutting off the fire road are very effective, he uses tanks and artillery to build a wall of fire behind the defenders who rush out, so that the defenders' reserves can not be refueled and continue to invest in the battlefield to reinforce.

At the same time, Sakamoto divided his troops into several routes, some to reinforce the stabbing troops, and some to do the transcendence attack, and with artillery and tanks, continued to attack the second line of defense at the foot of the mountain.

The defenders at the foot of the mountain were stunned by this tactic all of a sudden, and they watched their brothers being besieged and killed by devils, but they were unable to reinforce, because they were also mud bodhisattvas who crossed the river, and it was difficult to protect themselves.

You can't separate yourself, you can't separate a position, but Yuwangshan is just a position, there are many positions, and the head of the 1085 regiment, Yang asked the brigade commander above for help and helped his brothers.

Brigade Commander Wan was also a little anxious, but he had already given an order to call a battalion of the 1086th Regiment near the position to attack, attack the flank of the devil, and surround Wei to save Zhao.

According to common sense, dispatching a battalion of troops to surround Wei to rescue Zhao is considered to be very strong, if it was the previous Plain, it would definitely not be able to hold it all at once, but Sakamoto will not.

First of all, the army is strong, there are a large number of reserves, waiting for the defenders to come out to fight, and they are huddled in the mountains all day, and it is not easy to fight.

It is better to mobilize everyone to fight, then the superiority of the Japanese army's armor, mobility, firepower, and soldiers will be brought into play immediately, and if we really want to let go of our hands and feet to fight, the current Chinese army will not even dare to fight with the tactics of crowds.

Secondly, when Sakamoto was doing the transcendence attack, he had already thought that the defenders would come to this move, and the normal troops would not die without help, not to mention that they still had superiors in command.

The devils are waiting, whether it is to encircle the point to send reinforcements, or to attack a little bit to cut off the reinforcements, this is something that any senior commander should think of.

Traditionally, most armies only devote one-third of their troops to attack, one-third of their troops to be reserves, and one-third of their troops to send reinforcements.

Many cautious commanders will send more troops and prepare to send reinforcements to ensure the continuity of the offensive and the safety of their base camps.

Sakamoto's 21st Brigade had two infantry wings, 41 and 42, as well as an artillery wing of the division and an armored detachment, adding up to almost 20,000 people.

Therefore, with so many troops, although there are still some troops on the road, it is more than enough to deal with a 184 division of 8,000 people, and it is not even taken into account.

It's just that the 184th Division took the lead and went to Yuwang Mountain first, and Sakamoto had to smash this hard bone, otherwise, he would have already waved his division south, went straight to Xuzhou, and established immortal achievements.

Therefore, when the 184th Brigade of the 543rd Division sent a battalion of troops to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao, it was in the hands of Sakamoto, and all of a sudden, the third battalion of the 1086th Regiment fell into the troops protected by the devil's flank.

At least the strength of a brigade, facing the troops of the third battalion of the 1086 regiment, Brigade Commander Wan was shocked when he saw it, originally he just wanted to save a company's people, but now he was afraid that even a battalion would have to go in, so he hurriedly issued an order to retreat.

As a result, the third battalion not only failed to rescue the fifth company of the second battalion of the 1085th regiment, but also lost a lot of its own, at least nearly 100 people, almost went to a company, this business was done at a loss.

The fifth company of the second battalion is now almost exhausted, and I originally saw the 1086 regiment send rescuers, and there was still some hope of survival, but now it is all gone, and there are dozens of left, so I simply don't want to live, and I fight to the death with the devil.

When the knife was gone, he used daggers, teeth, hands, etc., and when there were no these, he pulled the traditional glorious bullet and died with the devil, and just like that, a company of people, not long after, disappeared under the nose of the 184th Division.

The commander of the second battalion of the 1085th Regiment wants to cry without tears, and now they are also very dangerous, the devils are doing transcendent attacks, and they are fighting their second and third lines of defense.

Relying on the strong firepower, the devils took a step forward, projected the shells at a distance, and used the shells to separate the position from the Chinese soldiers.

Commander Yang of the 1085th Regiment saw it and knew that if he continued to play like this, the entire second battalion would be played out, so he immediately asked upwards to withdraw from the position at the foot of the mountain.

The brigade commander himself did not dare to make the decision, so he consulted Division Commander Zhang, who was in the telescope, and after seeing the truth, he also felt that he was fighting like this, and he was very passive, so he agreed to temporarily withdraw from the position at the foot of the mountain in the north.

The 2nd Battalion finally picked up a bad life, and by using trenches and communication trenches, gradually withdrew the troops from their positions at the foot of the hill and moved to a position a little lower than the mountainside of the 3rd Battalion.

When Sakamoto saw that the blow was hit, he thought that the Chinese army was nothing more than that, so he immediately waved his army to continue the attack and advance, and with more force, he tore the hole a little wider and stabbed it a little deeper.

But when you get here, you can't tolerate Sakamoto's freewheeling, it's very simple, the tank can't go up, you can only wander at the foot of the mountain, without the support of the tank, the long-range firepower has lost more than half, and the close-range firepower has disappeared.

Moreover, as an infantry artillery, it is impossible to get a cave all at once, and the caves in Yuwang Mountain now extend in all directions, large and small, and a group of people may be drilled everywhere.

Once the tanks and infantry guns lose their effectiveness, the devil is too thin if he only relies on a little machine gun in the back as a fire support.

There was probably a squadron of devils, as the vanguard, who crossed the foot of the hill and rushed up the hill with a slight slope, and was suddenly hit by crossfire from the left and right and in front.

Moreover, these firing points are very hidden, which are the secondary caves or secondary roads of many caves, as well as some seemingly scattered bunkers, which are all connected to the caves.

In other words, even if the devil's infantry cannon pulls over and the tank gun at the foot of the mountain makes a precise strike, it can't completely knock out the bunkers of these fire points, because there is a back road, as soon as you fight, I will retreat to the cave.

If you don't fight, I'll come out again, anyway, it's so close, I just use light machine guns, and also do strong fire to block and suppress the mountaineering infantry.

This is embarrassing, Sakamoto can't come up with a better way all of a sudden, his infantry is attacked from many sides on the uphill slope, and they are pressed to the point that they can't straighten their waists, let alone talk about climbing up the mountain to attack.

Seeing that the infantry on the hillside was constantly being killed, Sakamoto had to withdraw his troops, and had to re-examine his tactics and pay enough attention to this opponent of Yuwang Mountain.

Seeing that the devils had retreated, the commander of the 1085th regiment, Yang was relieved, although he had lost an important position at the foot of the mountain in his own defense area, he had finally curbed the arrogant momentum of the devils and did not let the Japanese army continue to go deeper.
