Chapter 156: Join forces to defeat the enemy
Lu Yao's independent regiment entered Erlang Mountain from the west, in order to have the effect of a surprise attack, the independent regiment did not alarm the Japanese troops guarding the entrance to the valley passage on the west side, but under the leadership of Ouyang Xueping, they lurked into Erlang Mountain along a mountain path, and at this moment, they were ambushed behind the flank of Matsui Ichiro's wing.
It was not only Lu Yao's team that came to support the bandit battalion.
As early as a month ago, Han Hongxun put forward the idea of a tripartite alliance to jointly resist Japan in Erlang Mountain, Han Hongxun has always been a vigorous and resolute person, after returning from Erlang Mountain, he immediately adjusted the position of the troops, among them, the temporary brigade developed from the Yellow River Division of the Second Regiment was transferred to the area of Tashan Town.
This Tashan town is only more than 40 miles away from the mountain pass on the east side of Erlang Mountain.
On the same day that the Japanese army launched an attack on Erlang Mountain, the temporary brigade received the news. Brigade Commander Huang He did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to Division Commander Han Hongxun.
Han Hongxun set up a special commissioner of the military command and issued an order to the Yellow River to fully support Ye Tufei.
The Yellow River brigade commander also participated in the battle of Jiajiawang at the beginning, if there was no Ye Tufei, he might have been martyred in the Yellow River, so after receiving Han Hongxun's instructions, he repaid his kindness and issued an assembly order to all the combat units that could be mobilized in the brigade.
However, the combat units were relatively scattered, and it took Huang He a day and a night to assemble his troops.
On the same day, as soon as it was dark, Huang He took his temporary brigade to the mountain pass on the east side of Erlang Mountain.
If the characteristics of Ye Tufei's command of battles are similar to Takahashi's Shin, then the Yellow River Brigade Commander belongs to the same type as Matsui Ichiro.
When Lu Yao was still lying in ambush behind the Matsui Wing and waiting for the opportunity to fight, Huang He had already commanded the troops to complete the pre-battle deployment.
At this moment, with a wave of his hand, he launched an attack on the Japanese troops stationed in the mountain pass on the eastern side of Erlang Mountain.
For a while, the sound of artillery rumbled, and the shouts of killing rushed to the sky.
The troops of Little Japan and the east side were originally not many, and the fortifications built were all fortifications facing Erlang Mountain.
The Yellow River Provisional Brigade smoothly rushed into the valley and quickly advanced towards the Matsui Wing along the valley passage.
Matsui Ichiro had no choice but to divide an infantry brigade to block the Yellow River Provisional Brigade.
The sound of gunfire woke Ye Tufei and the brothers of the bandit battalion from their sleep.
Ye Tufei's first reaction was that the special operations team ambushed on the periphery exchanged fire with Little Japan. However, after listening carefully, I felt that although the combat effectiveness of the special operations brigade was strong, after all, there were only more than 100 people, and there would not be such a big movement.
Yan Xiwen said happily: "It must be Lu Yao!" It must have been Commander Lu who came to meet us! ”
Ye Tufei listened carefully again, but found that most of the artillery fire was from far to near, which means that this artillery fire was basically fought by the troops supporting him. Does Lu Yao's team have so many artillery?
But Ye Tufei didn't say it clearly, the important thing now is not to discuss the source of this force, the important thing is to seize the opportunity to rush out and attack Little Japan inside and outside.
Coming down from that cliff, it only took more than half an hour for more than seven hundred brothers, and after landing, Ye Tufei gathered the remaining ammunition together, hoping to use these ammunition to open the way and rush into the camp of Little Japan.
If it was during the day, with the defensive firepower of Little Japan, Ye Tufei would have to pay a lot of price if he wanted to rush into its camp. But it was dark now, and the defensive attention of little Japan was all on the Yellow River Provisional Brigade on the east side. Ye Tufei's subordinates easily rushed into the camp of Little Japan.
The big knife is out! Bayonet up!
The brothers in the bandit camp who had been holding back all day finally got a chance to vent.
Matsui Ichiro did not panic in the slightest, mobilized two infantry squadrons, and tried to block Ye Tufei's headquarters in place.
But the brethren of the bandit battalion were in no way inferior to Little Japan in white-knuckle combat, and the Japanese troops of the two squadrons were soon overwhelmed.
Matsui Ichiro had no choice but to transfer two more squadrons.
The tide of battle was finally briefly balanced.
At this time, Lu Yao made a move.
His tactics were the same as Ye Tufei's, concentrating his firepower to tear through Little Japan's defensive line, and then a large number of soldiers quickly followed, showing their white blades, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Little Japan.
Ichiro Matsui was calm and sent out the last infantry brigade.
The Independent Regiment was brave, but Little Japan was not cowardly.
The bandit battalion is strong, but little Japan is not afraid of death.
The temporary brigade is fierce, but little Japan is not gentle either.
The battle situation fell into a stalemate for a while.
Matsui Ichiro smiled evilly, ordered the telegraph operator to report to the division commander, and asked the division commander to immediately increase troops to Erlang Mountain, implement a counter-encirclement of all anti-Japanese forces in Erlang Mountain, and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
The division commander quickly replied that in three hours at most, reinforcements would arrive at Erlang Mountain.
Matsui Ichiro changed from a cruel smile to a wild laugh, and at this moment he swept away the depression of the past two years.
He Matsui Ichiro was originally a person born for war, but since the Battle of Xuzhou, he can only be stationed in this relatively peaceful land, and he has a heroic useless loneliness.
Well, now, as long as his wing can last three hours, then it will be him Matsui Ichiro who will carry out the final slaughter.
However, the proud Matsui Ichiro did not expect that on this battlefield, there was still an armed force that had been aiming and waiting, like a lone wolf that had been hungry for many days, and had been secretly watching its prey.
Although the number of this special operations brigade of more than 100 people is small, it was carefully trained by Ye Tufei, and all the brothers can fight against ten.
Since the beginning of the war, they have been lurking on the flanks of the Japanese army, they have been looking for opportunities, they have determined the location of the Japanese headquarters, but they are suffering from the fact that they cannot carry out the surprise attack.
Now that the opportunity has finally presented itself, how can they not grasp it?
"Brethren! It's time for our special operations team to take action, remember, there is no need to leave a single mouth, all of them will be sent to Lao Tzu's grandmother's house! ”
Li Zhongyun issued the final order to the special operations brigade.
More than 100 brothers of the special operations brigade were like more than 100 tigers descending from the mountain, rushing at the speed of arrows and with the momentum of thunder, pounced on the headquarters of the Japanese army.
At this time, Matsui Ichiro had only two squads of guard soldiers by his side.
How can this be enough for the special operations brigade to eat?
Grenades and grenades were cleared, assaults were carried out with submachine guns and portable machine guns, and rifles and twenty rounds were then cleaned up.
In less than five minutes, Matsui's guards were routed.
After a burst of killing, there was really no one left alive, let alone any fish that slipped through the net.
Matsui Ichiro was shot twice and was already dying, and he still hasn't figured out where this enemy force came from.
Five minutes ago, he swore that five minutes later, he would return to Huangquan.
The brothers of the special operations brigade who rushed over saw that there was still a panting man lying on the ground, and they had no idea that this little Japanese who could still breathe was actually wearing Osa's military uniform, and stabbed Matsui Ichiro in the chest with a bayonet, twisted it again, and pulled it out.
Matsui Ichiro's eyes widened, he let out a sigh of relief, straightened his legs, and said goodbye to the world.
After cleaning up the headquarters of the Japanese army, the special operations brigade divided into two routes and joined the battlefield of the bandit battalion and the independent regiment respectively.
What was originally a hand-to-hand combat battlefield that was evenly matched suddenly changed because of the addition of the brothers of the special operations brigade.
The Japanese commanders in the two battlefields hurriedly contacted the headquarters by phone, but in addition to the busy sound, which was silent, the Japanese commanders did not detail their own headquarters at all, and they only said that the telephone line was broken, so they sent a signal corps to the headquarters to liaise.
When the signal soldiers brought back the message, the captains of the two Japanese armies in hand-to-hand combat immediately panicked.
Withdraw! If you don't withdraw, the captain of this team will suffer the same fate as the captain of Matsui.
At the same time as the withdrawal, the two brigade commanders also sent a telegram to the division commander in Xuzhou City, informing the division commander of the misfortune of the wing commander.
But it's not so easy to withdraw!
The brothers of the bandit battalion had already killed the red eyes, and the soldiers of the independent regiment were also excited to kill with the assistance of the special operations brigade, and on the eastern front, the temporary brigade of the Yellow River had already torn a hole in the defensive position of the Japanese army and was doing in-depth penetration.
For the Japanese army, it seemed that there was only one way left to abandon their armor and flee.
In that case, is there any need to hesitate?
This is the gap between the A Division and the C Division of the Japanese Army.
This is the consequence of the division commander and Matsui Ichiro Todai.
Little Japan has finally been defeated!
The warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, who were still alive, ran out of the Erlang Mountain valley passage in one go, and, along the road to Xuzhou, continued to run tirelessly.
In order to increase the speed of running, they did not care about the corpses of their comrades who had died in battle, nor did they care about those of their kind who were injured and could not run fast, and even the big brother of the artillery on the artillery position was thrown aside.
That's not slow.
At that speed, the brethren in the bandit battalion could not keep up at all.
When the Japanese reinforcements met this remnant army on the halfway, the division commander who was far away in Xuzhou City sighed and gave the Japanese troops on the halfway road an order to stop here.
A month later, the division commander was forced to take off his military uniform and return to his hometown in Japan.
And the chief of staff of the division was honorably promoted to the position of acting division commander of the division.
Keigo Yamashita was lucky enough to stay in his original position because he was strong in the background and did not take the main responsibility in this series of incidents.
But Takahashi Nobu was not so lucky, the new division commander put him on the shelf, if it weren't for the face of his Japanese father-in-law, Takahashi Nobu was likely to suffer the same fate as the teacher and head of the regiment.
If Takahashi Shin was really repatriated to the mainland, it would definitely not be a good thing for Ye Tufei and the brothers in the bandit camp.
But the current result is not much better for Ye Tufei and the brothers in the bandit camp. Because, Takahashi Nobu has been deposed with all his might, and now he can only hide quietly in his residence in Xuzhou.
If they want to take revenge and kill Takahashi Shin, Ye Tufei and the brothers in the bandit camp have to think of another strategy.
