1152. The Japanese Sato squadron repeats the path of the cavalry

Just after the Seventh Company had made all the preparations, the devil still didn't dare to move on, I don't know if he was scared or encountered some problems.

In the face of the continuous loss of time, the devils on the frontal battlefield of Headless Ridge still did not reach the predetermined position, let alone touch the camp to kill the sentinels of the Chinese soldiers.

Now I can't even see the figure of the sentry, as if I saw someone in a similar sentry post in front of me, but I'm still not sure if it's really a bright sentry or if there is a dark sentry lurking around it.

Seeing that the time had come, the Japanese squad leader knew that there were few opportunities to take Headless Ridge tonight, but as a feint force, he still had to act according to the plan.

The Japanese night attack squad launched an attack on the grenadier canister at the sentry post of the seventh company, and the grenadier canister at night was just a rough idea, and it was almost impossible to hit accurately.

But the Japanese army is determined to feint, it doesn't matter, as long as it attracts the attention of the Chinese army, the Japanese squad leader has now reduced the combat goal to the minimum.

As soon as the grenade grenade on the Japanese side exploded, announcing the beginning of tonight's night raid, the seventh company was a little disappointed when he saw that the devil did not dare to enter the predetermined position, so he simply pretended not to dare to fight back, and quietly held back and did not fight.

After getting closer, Wu Dingli told several platoon commanders that the platoon in the forward position was too anxious now, and they could not rush out to fight without the order of the company commander, and now they could only hope that the devil would continue to move forward a little more.

But the Japanese army just didn't fight lightly, such a fighting posture made Sangou guess right, the devil stayed up all night to come here not to harass and perfunctory, it must be greasy.

Needless to say, the main attack point of the Japanese army was on the side of the Eighth Company, but unfortunately the Japanese army did not have enough offensive strength in front of the Seventh Company and did not mobilize the troops of the third battalion.

The Eighth Company has already received an order to defend to the death tonight, not to guard the entire line, but to hold on to each stronghold, and now it has shrunk its forces, giving up the outer line to the devils, and letting them take a detour.

The Japanese squadron leader saw that the feint attack on the frontal position of Wutou Ridge had begun, and they also launched an offensive on the position of the Eighth Company, but the effect was mediocre.

The "cunning" Chongqing army stubbornly held on to various strongholds, and could not fight out, and even if it made a detour to the flanks and rear, some strongholds did not retreat or come out to meet them, but just held still.

This makes the devil a little confused, stay and continue to fight, you won't be able to fight for a while, if you don't fight, it's definitely not okay to go back to make a difference, it's just a harassment, the devil doesn't want to just have a sloppy effect.

Therefore, the devil still implemented the second set of bold and dangerous plans, bypassed these strongholds, and directly detoured back to the back mountain of Headless Ridge, launched a strong attack from the back mountain of Headless Ridge, and flanked Headless Ridge with the frontal feint team.

As long as the headless ridge is defeated, some small strongholds of the Chinese army on its left flank will be self-defeating.

In addition to the strict process of officer training, the middle and low-level officers of the Japanese army are actually similar to the low-level officers of the Chinese army in terms of personality, they are all Orientals, and there is also a difference between radical and conservative.

Although there will be a few defeats in the world, most of the Japanese army is advancing in China, and most of the Japanese officers in this background are extremely proud and look down on the combat effectiveness of the Chinese troops.

And the Japanese squadron leader Sato is a radical, although the captain Sakamoto has repeatedly told him to act at the opportunity, but because no one else has the courage to act as the captain of the night attack, he can only take a risky move.

The task of the 20th Brigade of the Japanese Army is now relatively tight, the 34th Division has almost reached the upper level, and the 20th Brigade is now stuck on the side of Gray Port, and the 102nd Brigade in charge of the main attack is also feeling a lot of pressure at this time.

Therefore, Sakamoto used the brave squadron leader Sato to serve as the commander of this night attack, and Sato finally got this initiative to attack, and he felt much better than being pressed and beaten headless ridge before.

Now Sato saw that the defense of the outer line of the Chinese army, except for some small strongholds, was almost a no-man's land, and abandoned the outer line, so he detoured into it from the outer line like a cavalry team.

According to the experience of previous battles with the Chinese army, as long as the Chinese army's defense line is crossed in a roundabout way, it will inevitably cause confusion and fear of the opponent, and even collapse.

Because in most cases, the defense line of the Chinese army is a long snake formation, without depth and protection, as long as it breaks through a little, it is equivalent to breaking through the whole line.

But Sato didn't notice this tonight, and when he went around and inserted inward along the river, he was blocked by the Chinese army layer by layer, and the more he fought inside, the more difficult it became.

Even after the Chinese army was broken through the first floor, it did not panic and collapse, but retreated to the back line in an orderly manner, so that every time the line was retreated, the strength increased, and the Japanese attack naturally became difficult.

Moreover, it became more and more difficult to reach the core position, and when it reached the line of Wugongling, Liujia, and Meixi, it was no longer difficult for the Japanese army to advance.

On this line, the Chinese army had a strong number of troops, more weapons, and obviously more heavy machine gun positions, and a number of water-cooled heavy machine guns opened fire at various strongholds on this line.

These heavy machine gun firing points were like iron locks, locking the forward space of this line, and the terrifying fire on the fan surface formed a line of life and death.

Just when the Sato squadron began to attack until the Liu family behind the Eighth Company was stagnant and difficult to ride the tiger, the three dogs sent a signal to the Ninth Company to attack at night.

After the three red signal flares were lifted into the air, the soldiers of the two platoons of the Ninth Company, in the predetermined position, suddenly tore through the defense line of the Japanese forward position, smashed the Japanese cordon with machine gun grenades, and rushed inward.

Originally, these three red signal flares were the devils who had broken into Liu's house as agreed between Sangou and the regiment commander, but the regiment commander Liu Guangyu did not expect that the third battalion and the ninth company also launched a surprise attack on the Japanese army.

Therefore, several battlefields started at the same time, and the 102nd Brigade was ready to reinforce the Sato squadron when it saw that it could not hit the frontal position of Headless Ridge, and that some of them were stuck in the position behind Headless Ridge and were sluggish.

It is planned to add another infantry squadron to strengthen the attack on the frontal position of the Headless Ridge, in order to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and defeat the Headless Ridge, which will naturally save the Sato squadron, and once the two squadrons are combined, they can continue to break inside.

But now that the backyard is on fire, the Chinese army dared to send troops to sneak attack the opponent's position when its own position was attacked by a night attack, and Sakamoto admired the opponent's move a little.

The backyards of both sides are on fire, and they are all pinned down by the other side, it depends on how to deal with this complicated situation, Sangou has the regiment commander and the 152nd Regiment and even the 51st Division on their side.

Although the Japanese army had the rear support of 20 brigades, its strength was obviously inferior to that of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army did not have many troops to attack, which was intended to harass and contain them.

On the contrary, the Japanese army invested a relatively large number of forces in the night attack, accounting for one-third of the entire brigade, and in order to save this Sato squadron, Sakamoto had to send troops again, divided into several routes, to deal with this multiple battles.
