Chapter 120: The Battle of Camel Mountain

After the independent battalion and the 363rd regiment captured the auxiliary position of Xiangshan, they did not further attack the main position of Xiangshan, because Zhang Ziwen's artillery company alone wanted to take Xiangshan, which had a natural geographical advantage, and there was only one way, and they used their lives.

Learned from the past, Wei Xiling also gave up this stupid method, a battalion was killed or wounded in an avant-garde position, and it was not enough to attack the more dangerous main position with the same method.

The artillery battalion where Zhang Ziwen and Wei Xiling were waiting is now fighting in Camel Mountain, and Zhao Xu is desperately taking his brothers.

Chen Yongsi placed Xia Ying and Wu Zijian on the north and south sides of Camel Mountain, Xia Ying was not welcomed and threw them directly to the south, and Wu Zijian acted as a reserve in the north of the mountain.

The first battalion of the 618th Regiment was supplemented into the third battalion, and in order to ensure combat effectiveness, Chen Yongsi supplemented the regiment's direct subordinates into the second and third battalions, forming two reinforced battalions to attack from the east and west. Most of the hills around Matsuyama extend from east to west, and it has also become a good position to block the north and south.

As soon as the 618th Regiment arrived at Camel Mountain, it seized the Camel Mountain Zuofeng, and Zhao Xu's battalion, as the main battalion of the 618th Regiment, forcibly occupied three Zuofeng with the strength of one battalion and confronted the Japanese army.

As soon as the artillery battalion arrived, Chen Yongsi directly ordered the attack, and it was raining heavily, and the brothers of the 618th Regiment were not timid in the face of the camel mountain full of smooth stones. braving the rain and stepping on the corpses of his brothers, he tried to attack the main position of Camel Mountain step by step.

"Li Xiping, attack Lao Tzu."

Seeing that he touched the bottom of the Japanese position, as long as he made a strong charge, Zhao Xu's third battalion could break into the position, as long as he delayed, the second battalion behind could come up, Wu Zijian could also come up, and Camel Mountain could be reached.

Li Xiping took out his rifle from the dead brother, inserted a bayonet, and led a platoon to rush to the Japanese position amid the sound of the charge horn.

Victory is in sight, but God often plays a joke on you, and a round of heavy artillery fire interrupts Li Xiping's charge, and Li Xiping is shot and falls to the ground.

The artillery battalion seized the opportunity and pounced on the Japanese positions with more intense artillery fire. As soon as the artillery battalion stopped, there was no time to cheer for the defeat of the Japanese artillery position before it was shelled by the Japanese army.

The Japanese Type 94 rapid-fire gun is a 37 caliber, which is copied from the German KK36 anti-tank gun, and is itself an anti-tank armor. It's just that China's tanks and tanks do not add up to as many aircraft, and rapid-fire artillery units have become the main force for raiding and striking various targets.

Although the caliber of the shells of a rapid-fire artillery squadron of the Japanese army was small, it had a strong ability to strike quickly, and the artillery battalion could not fight at all, so it could only brave the artillery rain to move its position.

As soon as the Japanese army came out, the Japanese troops on the position were no longer patient, and Zhao Xu, who was fighting with grenadiers and 92 style, could only retreat, plus Li Xiping was seriously injured, and half of the third battalion was scrapped, and he was beaten back to the first Zuofeng by the Japanese army.

When the two battalions were handed over, the Japanese army suddenly exerted its strength and cooperated with the rapid-fire artillery squadron that turned around to drive the 618th regiment to the second Zuofeng, and Wu Zijian saw that he was not acting right, and immediately led his troops to pounce. Only when the second battalion and the third battalion eased up did they slowly stabilize the position of the second Zuofeng, forming an anxious situation, and using the terrain advantage to compete between the first and second Zuofeng.

When the artillery battalion was reorganized, the two sides had already mixed together, the artillery battalion was not fighting, it was not fighting, and he did not dare to persuade Chen Yongsi to give up the forward position, Zhao Xu's eyes were red and he was about to lead people to recapture the first Zuofeng, and the artillery battalion became more and more afraid to speak.

Imamura received a telegram asking for help, and the first thing he did was to hold Shibata accountable, and then ordered the Nakano Wing to march north to open up the connection with Hiroji. Nakano ordered the two brigades of Okayama and Shirahama to penetrate directly into the area of Kausao, in an attempt to open a lifeline between the 86th Army and the 26th Army. Replenishing the wing headquarters to Shibata had only one request, to recapture Camel Mountain and Xiangshan.

"Battalion commander, the battle on Camel Mountain is quite fierce, but it hasn't been captured for so long, and the 618 Regiment is not very good."

Xia Ying quietly looked at the heavy rain outside, the knot in her heart had not been unraveled, and she didn't listen to what her subordinates said. Seeing that his battalion commander didn't reply, the man could only go out in the rain. Xia Ying is strict in governing the army, and it is already very good that he can go to the tent to hide from the rain, and if he doesn't check the position, it is estimated that the company commander will be gone.

"It's time to come, messenger, inform the companies that they are equipped to meet the Japanese army, and whoever breaks through the Japanese army from whose position does it not have to come back alive."

Xia Ying didn't complain that Chen Yongsi put him in the south, he thought this was an opportunity, a chance to prove him Xia Ying.

Shibata went back and forth several times in Camel Mountain and Xiangshan, figured out the road early, bypassed Xiangshan and went straight to Camel Mountain, although the location of Xiangshan is important, but it is not conducive to defense, now the Xiangshan defenders are trapped on the top of the mountain and cannot move is the best textbook, only Camel Mountain, not only the terrain is favorable, there is also a rapid-fire artillery squadron, plus the two squadrons he led Shibata thought that he could resist a division.

"Report to the battalion commander, there is probably a large group of Japanese troops in the west who want to move quickly to the east, and it will reach the southern cordon of our battalion in half an hour at most."

"Where, point it out on the map."

Zhang Ziwen looked at the map, U read the book .net The Japanese army did not come to Xiangshan, but to Camel Mountain.

"Rao Xiangyun, call to inform the 618th Regiment that a brigade of the Japanese army is coming to help, and I will hold it off and let them capture Camel Mountain as soon as possible. At the same time, call Wu Zijian and ask him to be careful. Send someone to inform the 363rd Regiment to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army in Xiangshan, so that Xiaobao can take care of his home. ”

"You go back and let Zhang Zhang snipe the Japanese soldiers along the way, not trying to kill or injure, just to delay the Japanese army."

Zhang Ziwen put on an armed belt, immediately picked a middle-aged official himself, and strode out of the headquarters.

"Vigorously, Li Yusheng, take someone with me, act immediately."

Dali, who had been hiding in the tunnel to exchange ideas with the brothers, immediately became a stern commander, and the tarps pulled up in the trenches were removed one after another.

Zhang Ziwen believed in his brother, and ran directly to the southeast with the stone, and the follow-up brothers followed in a line.

If it was really a complete brigade, even if Zhang Ziwen was given 1,200 people, he would not dare to fight directly, and the Japanese casualties were not small after a long battle, and he could still do it if he dragged it out.

galloping all the way, harassed by a spy company, Zhang Ziwen felt that it should be no problem to prepare for an ambush in front of the Japanese army.

He chose a pass between Camel Mountain and Xiangshan, and now the river is flooding, and the devil has only that road to go.

"Report to the battalion commander, the Japanese army completely ignored the harassment of our company and advanced rapidly, and now it has passed the pass."

Zhang Zhang understood Zhang Ziwen's operational thinking very well, and sent someone to inform Zhang Ziwen when the Japanese army quickly passed through the pass.

"Go back and tell Zhang Li, give me a bite in the back, and hit him if he doesn't fight back, and I'll be there later."

Zhang Ziwen knew that Chen Yongsi's deployment in Camel Mountain, this Japanese army would directly encounter Xia Ying, not to mention the combat effectiveness of Xia Ying's troops for the time being, Zhang Ziwen had never seen a battalion that could resist a large group of Japanese troops.
