Chapter 121: Fierce Jungle Battle (Part II)
In the jungle, the brothers of the guard company and the reconnaissance company were slowly gathering people, collecting Japanese soldiers, and collecting the bodies of the brothers who died in battle, and the time had come to 5 o'clock in the afternoon......
"Shang Wei, you kid is lucky! As soon as we came by, we saw the three little devils chasing you ahead of us, and the brethren gave them a few knives. What do you think? How many devils are killed this afternoon? He Guangquan, the platoon leader of the guard company who came over, said,
"There are eleven that can be determined, and there are probably a few more that cannot be determined!" Shang Wei said,
"What! So much? You're not lying, are you! He Guangquan asked,
"Our group was lucky enough to encounter a tactical squad of three devils, and two of them died in the breakout, and then the little devils chased all the way, and I and two brothers fled all the way; The counter-killing never stopped, and in the end, I was the only one left. Shang Wei said,
"Ouch! You're a kid with this injury! Don't say it, the brothers came on a stretcher and carried him down the ......mountain," He Guangquan said.
At half past five o'clock in the afternoon, at the foot of the inverted mountain, next to the machine gun position, there was a circle of corpses of brothers killed in the battle of the guard company and the reconnaissance company, He Jianye frowned and asked,
"How many casualties?"
"Commander, there are ten seriously wounded, and thirty-four lightly wounded; Those who could continue to fight were lightly wounded. About sixty-five brothers were killed. "Zeng Da returned,
"How?" He Jianye frowned and said,
"According to the statistics of the combatants and those who descended the mountain, many of the brothers did not have their bodies in their entirety; There were only forty-one corpses. Zeng Da said,
"In other words, after this battle, half of our elite is gone? How many little devils died? He Jianye asked,
"About 180 or so, a squadron was basically reimbursed." Zeng Da said,
"Tell the brethren to rest on the spot and wait for Leng Qi to bring the main force up." He Jianye ordered,
"Hashimoto squadron? Hum! The little devil must have other infiltration troops, and I don't know that the national army will be unlucky enough to be raided by them. No, you have to notify the division! He Jianye thought,
"Commander, Deputy Commander Leng, they're here." Yang Xiaoshi ran over from behind,
"Regiment Leader" Leng Qi ran over and looked at the corpse on the hand,
"Are you enemies? How did you kill so many brothers? Is it the main force of the devil? Already called? I haven't received a telegram either! As soon as Leng Qi opened his mouth, the question kept stopping,
"It's the devil's infiltration squadron that met us on the inverted mountain." He Jianye said,
"Call the communications squad to come over, set up a radio station, and report the situation to the division headquarters." He Jianye said,
More than ten minutes later, the large army arrived, the communications squad began to set up a radio station, and Legasaki sent a platoon to send the wounded back to the rear......
"Division Commander: Our unit attacked and advanced to the area of the inverted mountain in the afternoon, and encountered the Hashimoto squadron of the infiltration force of the devils, and after the first battle, the 16th Regiment connected the enemy with a guard company and reconnaissance, and fought in a melee in the inverted mountain, the devils were basically annihilated, and half of our company was killed or wounded! The division headquarters is in a war zone to guard against the infiltration of devils. The infiltration troops of the devils are wearing the uniforms of the Central Army, and I hope that the brother troops will strengthen their vigilance! He Jianye! After the signal soldier quickly recorded the message, handed it over to He Jianye for signature, and then ran to the radio station that had been set up and began to send the message......
"The guard company and the reconnaissance company rested in place for two hours and then followed, and the first battalion and artillery battalion continued to move with me. Cold Saki is in charge of the broken queen! He Jianye replenished the ammunition consumption on the baggage truck and ordered,
"Commander, I'll get on! You take a break! Lenzaki said,
"It's okay, I can do it! I'm going to show these military commanders who say I'm going to the enemy to see if labor and management are afraid of war! He Jianye inserted the box cannon into his waist and turned his head to set off......
"A battalion, keep up!" Zhu Yunhua roared,
"Artillery battalion, follow the regimental commander!" Huang Wujun roared and caught up with He Jianye,
Crossing the path under the inverted mountain, He Jianye and his two battalions arrived at Linjiao Mountain, 600 meters away, in just 15 minutes......
"Zhu Yunhua, tell the brothers to search the mountains in platoons, and the artillery battalion is divided into artillery groups to follow the infantry platoon; Above. He Jianye first climbed towards Linjiao Mountain......
"Hurry up, get on!" Zhu Yunhua can't wait to complete it in groups immediately,
"Group No. 1, follow the regiment commander, Battalion Commander Zhu, just come to a platoon!" Huang Wujun was not so rigid, and pulled a mortar team to chase He Jianye,
"A row of companies, follow the regimental commander; Above! Zhu Yunhua patted his head and ordered,
The Nakamura squadron did not follow the same route as the Hashimoto squadron, so He Jianye did not encounter the Japanese army in this search, and an hour later, the troops passed through Linjiao Mountain and continued to march towards Yaque Mountain......
At this time, a regiment of the Reserve 2nd Division on Yaque Mountain had gradually lost part of its position under the continuous attack of the devils, and the devils saw that the national army was very resolute in defending, and began to use the usual trick, that is, poison gas bombs.
The mortar of the "Dong Dong" devil began to fire poison gas bombs at the troops of the 2nd Reserve Division of Yaque Mountain,
"Why is there no explosion sound? The devil's shell is dumb? It can't be completely dumb either! The battalion commander who was guarding the position thought suspiciously,
"Battalion commander, it can't be a gas bomb! You see the cannonball is emitting red smoke outwards? A company commander pointed to the shells that landed in front of the trenches in the position and said,
"No, it must be a poison gas bomb, brothers, withdraw with me! Let's go to the next trench and do the little devils. "The battalion commander guarding the position on the mountainside retreated directly to the top of the mountain......
Under the offensive of such waves of poison gas bombs, the troops guarding the northern slope of the Yaque Mountain position were gradually forced by the devils to go to the main peak position, and began to attack the eastern position with the devils.
"Send a report to the division! Request support! "On the main peak, the commander of the reserve second division ordered the signal troops!
"Yes" The signal corps began to tinker with the radio and send a telegram to the headquarters of the Jiujiang Division, which was two kilometers away.
"Regiment commander, the division commander called back that the 16th Regiment of the 3rd Division had already attacked and advanced towards Yaque Mountain in the afternoon, but they encountered an infiltration squadron of devils on the way, and they had just solved the enemy under the vicious battle, and they quarreled with the attack on Yaque Mountain." The communications soldier held the telegram in his hand and said,
"Damn, keep it for me; The devil is not allowed to retreat if he releases poison gas bombs! Labor and management don't believe it, and the devil's gas bombs are endless? "The commander of the 2nd Division to garrison Yaque Mountain has made up his mind,
After capturing the mountainside position, the devils can no longer use poison gas bombs to open the way, the mountain wind is very strong at night, one does not pay attention to poison himself, and the Japanese army is attacking from the back, the higher up, the more difficult it is for the gas bomb to play a role;
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, do you want the soldiers to hold the position on the mountainside and wait until dawn to attack again, after a day of fighting, the soldiers of the heroic Imperial Japanese Army are already very tired." Nakasa Kojima, who was in charge of the attack, asked,
"Well, let the warriors guard it, don't let the people rush down the mountain, and wait for dawn to destroy them all!" Wing Commander of the 2nd Wing, Motoro Oka, ordered,
"Hay!" Kojima Nakasa quickly dispatched a herald to deliver the order.
