Chapter 115: Coming to Help
Chapter 115 comes to help
"Retreat~"
Dong Cao listened to the gunfire on the opposite side becoming more and more dense, and chose to retreat, throwing down the corpses of more than a dozen colleagues, and retreating from the position in a panic.
"You melon baby."
Li Xiping didn't speak or was beaten by Zhao Xu, the Japanese guns were sparse, Zhao Xu knew that the devil had withdrawn, and in such a short time, the Eighth Company and the Machine Gun Company were too late.
"Still not chasing?"
Another slap, after a slap, Li Xiping reacted and led people to pursue, but unfortunately it was too dark, and as soon as he entered the forest, he couldn't find the devil, so he could only return in vain.
"Battalion deputy, there is no movement on the 2526 heights, is it that the devils have broken through the heights."
Ma Xiaobao almost gave Li Hai a moment, such a little movement, a battalion of gunfire could not be made.
"Stop talking nonsense, keep going, it's almost there, and you have to take a look."
Ma Xiaobao didn't go far before he heard the gunshots of the reconnaissance squad in front of him.
"Quick, catch up with me, the Japanese army is small, and Lao Tzu is captured alive, and Lao Tzu will pick their skins one by one."
Hearing the sparse gunshots of the 38 big covers, Ma Xiaobao judged that the number of devils would not be too many.
Li Hai led people to the north to outflank them, Li Yusheng led people to the south to make a detour, and Ma Xiaobao led a row to advance head-on.
The gunfire is getting closer and closer, it seems that the devils have to have a dozen or so people, Ma Xiaobao led people to pounce, a round of random guns, no more gunshots, as soon as the torches shine, there are seven or eight devils lying in the forest.
When Ohashi saw the light, he thought he was seeing the emperor's holy light, but after seeing clearly that it was a Shina soldier, he didn't come up in one breath and died.
"The corpse has been disposed of, and the devil still doesn't know if he has any poisonous gas or something."
"Dada~"
Ma Xiaobao's originally disappointed heart rose again, and led people to pounce in the direction of Li Hai. When Dong Cao heard that the detachment heading south had met the Chinese army, he fled frantically north with his people without a clue, and met Lehi's reconnaissance squad on the way. Dong Cao did not hesitate, left the machine gun team to cover, and continued to flee north with five people.
"It's all a little grasshopper, dispose of the corpses, return to the camp in a quarter of an hour, and I'll take people to the third camp to have a look."
Ma Xiaobao saw that only three devils were killed on the ground by random shots, less than before, so he left Lehi to clean up the battlefield and led people to the 2526 heights himself.
Dong Cao Ting's army did not follow, and led people to touch the defense line of the first battalion of the 618 Regiment, and finally reached the Matsuyama Heights, although he was scolded and reprimanded by Fujii, it was better than no life.
"Battalion commander, you're awake."
Zhang Ziwen woke up to find that the sky was already bright, and the enemy was in front of him, and he didn't know how he dared to sleep for so long.
"Battalion deputy, let me tell you, last night the 362nd Regiment of the 121st Division came to help, taking over from the 618th Regiment to defend the 2526 Heights, Zhao Xu led people to integrate the remnants of the 1st Battalion, and it seems that he plans to attack the Songshan Heights."
Zhang Ziwen immediately sobered up when he heard the Songshan Heights, not only because of the rain yesterday Zhang Ziwen did not attack Songshan, but because Songshan was not dangerous but conducive to defense, and a large force could not deploy it.
In addition, this is the last position of the Japanese army in the Matsuyama area, and the sense of resistance is far greater than before, and the good weather means that the Japanese planes can support it, and the troops behind the Imamura Wing can also be reinforced, and it is better to attack now than yesterday overnight.
Zhang Ziwen didn't have time to send someone to admonish Zhao Xu, the sound of guns and cannons from the southeast highlands of Songshan Mountain had proved everything, Zhang Ziwen sent someone to tell him, but he had already started fighting and did not suffer how to retreat.
"Send the spy company to the front line north of Camel Mountain in groups, maybe the Japanese army will come to help from Camel Mountain, yesterday there were obviously three squadrons, but there was only one squadron of troops on the three positions, and they must have gone to support Camel Mountain."
What Zhang Ziwen can do now is to hold back the reinforcements from the south, delay the Japanese attack, and wait for the 103rd Division to come to help. Last night, He Shaozhou called that the troops of a brigade of the Botian detachment braved the rain to raid Dajin, and the 103rd Division poured all its strength to drive the Japanese army back to the south of Wushan Lake. He Shaozhou's telegram also demanded that the independent battalion, the third battalion, and the first battalion must hold the 3120 and 2526 heights until 12 o'clock today, and now the 103rd Division is changing defenses with friendly forces.
"Battalion commander, devil plane."
Zhang Ziwen looked up and saw that more than a dozen planes of the devil were coming from the east in his direction.
A string of fires hit the front of Matsuyama Heights, and then the planes behind split into three detachments and dropped bombs on each of the three heights.
"It's a good thing we didn't defend on the high ground, otherwise we would have suffered a big loss."
Zhang Ziwen did not reply to Rao Xiangyun's words, and continued to observe the Japanese army. The Japanese planes dived again, and this time the devils seemed to find that there was no one on the 3120 heights, and the two teams were united to focus on the 2526 heights, which had the largest number of people.
"Inform the companies, get ready, the devil is probably coming up."
He Zhizhong heard that the 103rd Division might be surrounded, and immediately ordered the 121st Division to rush to relieve the siege, and at the same time mobilized the artillery battalion that had just been organized with the help of He Yingqin, followed most of the 121st Division to set off to relieve the siege, and he continued to stay in Qichun through the command.
Imamura waited for the heavy rain to stop, and learned in the early hours of the morning that two of the three positions in Matsuyama had been lost, and in order to protect his own rear road, two infantry squadrons and one rapid-fire artillery squadron were transferred from the front line to form a mixed Shibata brigade with the remnants of Shibata, preparing to recapture the Matsuyama Pass position.
Under the pressure of the Japanese army's advance step by step, Li Yannian, who originally did not dare to call Bai Chongxi, directly called and if Bai Chongxi did not give reinforcements, he immediately asked for reinforcements.
Bai Chongxi had no choice but to transfer the 26th Army to the defenders of Tianjia Town
The 26th Army did not refuse to carry out the military order because of excessive casualties, and the whole army attacked Tieshidun, and after expelling the Japanese army, it contacted Li Yannian, and after getting the news that it was waiting for the 86th Army to come to help, it went out to the vicinity of Camel Mountain to threaten the remaining rear road of the Imamura detachment.
Shibata turned around and prepared to retake the Matsuyama Pass Heights, but before he had gone far, he received an order to support Camel Mountain, and he could only lead a team to Camel Mountain.
"How's it going?"
Zhang Ziwen saw Ma Xiaobao running back in a hurry, he must have gone to Songshan Heights by himself just now.
"Three battalions...... A third of the casualties were lost, and the devils on the high ground probably only had a squad of troops left. The artillery fire of the devils was too strong and the support of the aircraft, and the three battalions were repulsed from both attacks. ”
Ma Xiaobao took another sip of water after speaking, and the health regulations of the independent battalion caused him to run so far to drink a sip of water.
"Have you gone to see the situation of the 362nd regiment?"
Today's devil bombardment is focused on hitting the 2526 heights, if the 362 regiment does not listen to Zhao Xu's suggestion and puts most of the troops on the high ground, the casualties will not be less than three hundred, Ma Xiaobao shook his head and said that he did not look at it.
"Go and ask, remember not to be too straightforward, and give the suggestion tactfully."
Zhang Ziwen didn't want the commander's mistake to send his brothers to death, and in this era when money was more important than life, he insisted on his choice.
Until noon, the division headquarters called, the 103rd Division had been deployed, the 613th Regiment was expected to arrive, and the reinforcements of the 121st Division had arrived near Songshan, so Zhang Ziwen went to report the situation in Songshan.
Dong Cao on Matsuyama is now miserable and happy, there are only thirty-nine people left in a squadron, and one of his own Cao commanders has become the acting squadron leader, which is a happy thing. Painfully, ammunition was running out, there were not enough personnel, and the Chinese army under the mountain had no intention of stopping.
