Chapter 117: Inverted Horror
At three o'clock in the afternoon of July 24, He Jianye set out from Huashan with the guard company and the reconnaissance company, all the way north, and attacked and advanced towards Yaque Mountain......
"Regiment leader, there are several villagers in Hejia Village in front, on the surface, there is no abnormality, it seems that the Japanese devils have not come over yet." Liu Fagui, the commander of the second platoon of the reconnaissance company who went out to explore the way, reported,
"Well, be careful, go around the village, go directly down the mountain, and enter the woods, it doesn't matter if we slow down, we must not be raided by the devils." He Jianye whispered,
"Let's go!" He Jianye led the soldiers to slowly bypass the village and continue to set off towards Yaque Mountain.......
Coincidentally, after the Botian detachment captured Puquan Mountain in the morning, it immediately launched an attack on the Yaque Mountain position of the second division in reserve; because there were already support troops of the 106th Division behind him, the commander of the Taiwan Second Wing of the Potian detachment was even more unscrupulous, and ordered two squadrons composed of Taiwan's "nine ethnic groups," including the Dawu and Atayal tribes, to bypass Yaque Mountain and sneak toward Jiujiang, in an attempt to use a small force to bypass the Jiujiang urban area to carry out all kinds of harassment and sabotage, and to wait for an opportunity to carry out surprise attacks and assassinations on important enemy figures and command headquarters.
The Nakamura Squadron and the Hashimoto Squadron are the infiltration squadrons that carried out this mission, most of the soldiers of these two squadrons come from the nine ethnic groups in Taiwan, and the nine ethnic groups in Taiwan are still martial and belligerent, and their militant and militant factors are more and more activated after being enslaved by the Japanese, under the influence of militarist ideology. Since landing in Chinese mainland, the Botian detachment was the first to be named the division Chongteng detachment, and this unit participated in major battles such as the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Xuzhou that invaded China; Led by Shigeichi Hata, this Taiwanese force caused unimaginable harm to China's appointments.
It was not for nothing that Shigeichi Harata sent two squadrons formed by Taiwan's "Nine Nationalities" to infiltrate, and the ethnic minorities of these two squadrons walked on the jungle and the mountains as if they were walking on flat ground, walking like flying, and their rich experience in the jungle made them feel like a fish in water, with their unique crossbows and highly poisonous crossbow arrows, in the jungle, not a single elite squadron of the Japanese army was not their opponent; They can easily kill their prey in the jungle.
After bypassing Yaque Mountain, the two squadrons went all the way west, trying to enter the Jiujiang city directly through Tan Village, but the confident Taiwanese crashed headlong into the position of the Reserve Ninth Division, the Reserve Ninth Division is a unit formed in Henan, and the Henan disciples who have been in the place of four wars since ancient times formed the Reserve Ninth Division to give the Japanese small troops a head-on attack, and after leaving behind more than 20 corpses, Nakamura and Hashimoto decided to divide their troops, and each led their own squadrons to infiltrate Jiujiang.
The squadron that detoured to the south was none other than Hashimoto's squadron, and squadron leader Hashimoto Shaosa led his subordinates through the weeds around Guojia Village with ease, and they tried to sneak up on the national army headquarters in Tianyuan Temple......
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, according to the map, after we pass through the inverted mountain in front, less than three kilometers to the west is the Tianyuan Temple; Do you order the soldiers to rest in the inverted concave mountain, and after dark, we can directly cross the inverted concave mountain to the plain in the middle of the Tianyuan Temple under the cover of night, and take advantage of the night to raid the headquarters of the Tianyuan Temple! A Japanese soldier Cao suggested,
"Well, order the troops to speed up and enter the inverted mountain to hide and rest." Hashimoto Shaosa ordered,
This special squadron of the Japanese army, which penetrated behind enemy lines, was a special operations unit from the point of view of later generations. It's just that Hashimoto's bad luck lies in the fact that in the inverted mountain he is about to enter, there is a national army unit searching and advancing, they are the guard company and reconnaissance company led by He Jianye, after the concept development of the American military academy, and he Jianye, who has been specially trained in the German Army Tactical Training Institute for half a year, under the training of the Germans who surpass all the army special operations ideas in the world, it is no longer these Japanese who can catch up; The guard company and reconnaissance company led by He Jianye were trained according to the training methods of the Germans, and already had the prototype of the special forces of later generations;
At the foot of the inverted concave mountain, a dirt road zigzags around the inverted mountain to connect the nearby villagers, there is basically no road up the mountain, only a small road cut out by the nearby hunters and mountain people with knives when going up the mountain, the thorns are overgrown next to it, and the miscellaneous trees are everywhere, the same looks at the inverted concave mountain is like a protrusion on the plain, the mountain is not high as a whole, and the gentle slope is a mountain composed of yellow mud and rocks.
He Jianye, who was searching and advancing, came to the foot of the inverted mountain, there were several villagers under the inverted mountain, and He Jianye was waiting for information from Yang Xiaoshi and Zeng Da.
"Commander, no anomalies were found on the left flank."
"Commander, no anomalies were found on the right flank"
Yang Xiaoshi and Zeng Da led the team to join He Jianye at the foot of the mountain......
"You see, you can only take this path leading to Linjiao Mountain from the bottom of the inverted mountain, and the machine gun team stays on the path below the mountain, be careful, Yang Xiaoshi is responsible for the surrounding vigilance; Zeng Da, when we go up the mountain, as long as we meet people with weapons on the mountain, we should not rush forward, and we must send a signal to the rear. Let's go! He Jianye walked through the weeds at the foot of the mountain and touched the top of the mountain......
On the other side of the mountain, Hashimoto's squadron had just passed through Linjiao Mountain and was advancing towards the mountain, and according to the speed of both sides, it was expected that when He Jianye reached the top of the mountain, Hashimoto's squadron would reach the foot of the other side of the mountain.
"Don't move, raise your hands!" A brother of the guard company pointed a gun at a man with a basket on his back, and in the jungle behind the brother, two soldiers of the guard company crouched in the thorn bushes, looking coldly ahead, and guarded with guns in other directions......
"Don't kill me! I don't have any money! The local mountain man was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot......
"Turn around slowly!" The brethren of the guard company did not dare to relax,
"Take off your shoes and pants!" The brethren of the guard company commanded,
"Ahh Long pipe, I'm a man! The mountain man wept and said,
"Less nonsense, hurry! Otherwise labor and management shoot! "The brethren of the guard company did not care,
"Damn, it's really a mountain dweller. There are no weapons in the whole body, and there are no obvious features of the Japanese! The brethren of the guard company muttered,
"Now go home immediately, there may be Japanese devils in this mountain; It's better to get out and avoid the scourge of war! Do you understand? You're good to go! And the brethren of the guard company said,
The frightened mountain people who peed their pants ran down the mountain in embarrassment, praying in their hearts that these soldiers were not bad, and they should not have harmed their own family......
"Commander, are we too careful, we have searched half of the mountain, except for a mountain man, I haven't seen the devil's hair!" Zeng Da said,
"Be careful, let the brethren rest in seclusion along the top of the mountain, and I'll go to the front and have a look!" He Jianye said,
"Commander, I'll go with you!" Zeng Da hurriedly followed,
In addition to the guard company, there are two platoons of the reconnaissance company resting around the top of the mountain, of course, there are two heavy machine guns missing in the middle, as for the Czech light machine gun, which was taken up the mountain by the soldiers, after all, there is a lack of automatic firepower, and if you encounter a devil, it will be difficult to fight without the support of machine gun fire......
