Chapter 126: Falling short
A year ago, Masao Koizumi led a rapid assault unit belonging to the A Division to suffer a big loss on the top of the phoenix, and a year later, can Nobu Takahashi attack the top of the phoenix with only one squadron of troops?
Kawashima intermediary was a little skeptical.
But when the troops arrived at the foot of the Phoenix Ridge, Takahashi Nobu made tactical arrangements, and Kawashima intermediary suddenly realized that Takahashi Nobu had a little admiration for him.
Unlike a year ago, the vanguard of Takahashi's attack was the Imperial Army.
A large group of Imperial Allied troops rushed to the front to shield the Japanese troops behind, while the Japanese troops behind them hid behind the Imperial Allied Army and calmly shot at the enemy troops on top.
It's simply a movable fortress, and the Phoenix Peak is at your fingertips!
Kawashima intermediary was excited and asked to personally direct the charge, and he wanted to be ashamed.
Takahashi did not hesitate and agreed to Kawashima's intermediary's invitation.
Faced with Takahashi Shin's despicable move, Ye Tufei only smiled and ordered: "Divide the troops and retreat according to the original plan, before retreating, symbolically fight and give those two dogs some hardship." ”
At this time, on top of the phoenix, the two companies of Deng Youfu and Qi Yunhai under Ye Tufei's department and the special operations brigade were assembled. If these troops want to take advantage of the geographical advantage of Phoenix Peak to block the Japanese army, they are only afraid that Takahashi Shin will have to fight the Imperial Cooperative Army Brigade to succeed.
However, Ye Tufei did not plan to fight to the death with Takahashi Shin on the top of the phoenix.
Ye Tufei's plan is to capture the thief and capture the king first, he wants to lead Takahashi Shin to the eagle's beak cliff step by step, and make a break with Takahashi Shin on the eagle's beak cliff.
Therefore, after Ye Tufei's department made a round of blocking the densely charging Imperial Association Army Brigade, they divided their troops into two routes and evacuated from the mountain trail behind Phoenix Peak.
Nobu Takahashi, who successfully attacked the top of the phoenix, was once again faced with a choice.
However, when Ye Tufei was dividing his troops and withdrawing, the traces were too heavy, and he was observed by Takahashi Shin, he quickly judged the direction of Ye Tufei's withdrawal, and only divided a team from Kawashima Intermediary's squadron to supervise the Imperial Association Army to pursue the rout in the other direction, and he personally led the remaining main force of the squadron to chase in the direction of Ye Tufei.
Along the way, Ye Tufei divided his troops three times, but none of the three divisions could disturb Takahashi Shin's judgment, although Takahashi Shin's side of the troops became less and less, but Ye Tufei experienced several divisions of troops, and there were not many brothers left around him.
One in front and one behind, the front runs fast, and the back chases tightly.
Unconsciously, Ye Tufei ran to a dead end.
The road leads to the most steep Eagle's Beak Cliff in the Erlang Mountain Range, which has only a small path in front of it, and the sides and back are full of cliffs.
Ye Tufei didn't choose the road in a panic and ran to this desperate road!
Takahashi Nobu inevitably rejoiced in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the Japanese soldiers with less than two squads around him to charge towards the eagle's beak cliff with all their might.
"Ye Tufei has a maximum of ten people around him, this is the best time to eliminate Ye Tufei, Imperial warriors, His Majesty the Emperor is watching you, rush up and cut off Ye Tufei's head!"
Takahashi took the lead, brandishing his sword, and pounced on the high part of the eagle's beak cliff.
At this time, Ye Tufei didn't even have ten brothers around him, and he divided his troops all the way, leaving only seven or eight skilled brothers such as Li Zhongyun, Xiao Zhonghe, and Feng Hao.
"You go down the cliff from both sides, and when you go down the cliff, you immediately destroy the suspension cable!" Ye Tufei ordered succinctly.
The brothers already knew Ye Tufei's plan, although they were all sweating for the sixth master, they didn't dare to delay time, just nodded, and went according to Ye Tufei's instructions.
Ye Tufei retreated alone while fighting, and finally retreated to the eagle's beak of the eagle's beak cliff where there was no way to retreat.
A hundred meters away, Takahashi waved his hand, causing his troops to stop the charge.
"Ye Tufei, surrender! You have no escape! Takahashi had a smug look on his face.
Ye Tufei threw away the submachine gun in his hand, stood up, and shouted to Takahashi Shin: "Takahashi Shin, do you think I, Ye Tufei, am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Hahaha, I've disappointed you! I'm leaving! ”
As he spoke, he jumped off the cliff.
Takahashi Shin was suddenly startled and hurriedly rushed forward.
When you get to the top of the eagle's beak, look down and see where you can still see something.
When he was depressed, Kawashima pointed to the distance and exclaimed, "Takahashi-kun, look! ”
Following the direction of Kawashima's intermediary's finger, Takahashi Nobu saw a strange big bird that was soaring freely in midair.
What puzzled Takahashi even more was that the big bird could still speak: "Takahashi Shin, run for your life quickly, it's too late!" ”
The sound echoed through the valley, and before it was over, a gunshot was heard behind him.
Ye Tufei's brothers came out of nowhere and were attacking the cliff.
Takahashi Shintoon felt a cold sweat behind him, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he could only quickly arrange defenses.
The steep terrain of the Eagle's Beak Cliff, coupled with the fighting spirit of the little Japanese who fought to the death due to the desperate situation, Feng Zhongliang's company, which was responsible for the attack on Takahashi Shin, was temporarily blocked.
Feng Zhongliang was not in a hurry, because according to Ye Tufei's plan, Luo Zhonggang's artillery company was rushing here, as long as the artillery company arrived, then there was only a dead end left for Takahashi Shin on the cliff.
However, it was the reinforcements of small Japan that came first.
This reinforcement was chasing the Japanese army in the direction of the secret cave, they got lost in the pursuit and were forced to abandon the mission, and went around not far from the eagle's beak cliff, and when they heard the sound of gunfire on the side of the eagle's beak cliff, they immediately moved closer to the eagle's beak cliff.
When Ye Tufei jumped off the eagle's beak cliff with a paraglider, and Feng Zhongliang's company launched an attack on Takahashi's letter on the cliff, the Japanese army arrived, and immediately launched an attack on Feng Zhongliang's company behind Feng Zhongliang's company.
Suddenly the format was reversed.
Feng Zhongliang's company suffered from the enemy on its back, and only scored more than half of its troops to block the enemy behind them.
As a result, the pressure on the Japanese troops on the eagle's beak cliff was suddenly eased a lot.
The Japanese troops who rushed to support had about 100 troops, and although they did not have an absolute advantage over Feng Zhongliang's company in terms of strength, they were significantly superior in firepower, especially since they also had two heavy machine guns and several grenadiers.
Feng Zhongliang's company gradually felt overwhelmed.
Just when Feng Zhongliang felt that it would definitely not work to fight like this and decided to concentrate his forces to launch an all-out fight against the Japanese army on the cliff, Luo Zhonggang's artillery company and more than 20 guerrillas from Wei Xiangdong arrived, and they launched an attack on the Japanese army behind the Japanese reinforcements.
Feng Zhongliang's company suddenly felt the pressure drop sharply, and the originally precarious position was preserved.
Not long after that, Deng Youfu and the special brigade arrived.
At this time, whether it is troops, firepower or combat effectiveness, the bandit battalion occupies an advantageous position.
Needless to say, the combat units immediately launched an all-out attack on the Japanese troops.
The reinforcements of the little Japanese army were about to be exhausted, while the other Japanese troops were led around the mountains in circles by the brothers of the bandit battalion, and they could not arrive for a while.
But at this moment, God actually played a great joke with the brothers in the bandit camp.
In just a few minutes, the sky turned out to be dark, and when I looked up at the sky, the black pressure was full of dark clouds.
Immediately afterward, a strong wind struck, and dense raindrops the size of beans whistled under the wind.
Not to mention continuing to fight, in this environment, people can only lie on the ground, and it is difficult to even stand up.
The intertwined enemy and the enemy invariably stopped fighting.
For five minutes, the wind was heavier and the rain was more intense.
Ten minutes, the wind is still there, the rain is still the same.
Yan Xiwen, who was in charge of the battlefield command, looked at his pocket watch anxiously, he knew that he could not attack in this harsh environment, so he could only wait. However, this harsh environment could not stop the march of the well-trained Japanese army.
If, in another twenty minutes, the storm did not stop, then he could only order his troops to withdraw from the battle.
After another ten minutes, the wind and rain seemed to show some signs of easing, but it was only a sign, and then it returned to its original state, even more violently than at first.
After another ten minutes, Yan Xiwen slammed his pocket watch to the ground and gave the order to retreat with a roar.
But where were the brothers willing, they still crouched in place and refused to carry out Yan Xiwen's order to retreat.
Yan Xiwen pulled out his pistol, pointed at the company commanders, and scolded: "This is the order of the sixth master!" Do you dare to disobey and disrespect? I tell you, if you don't withdraw any longer, when the reinforcements from Little Japan arrive, Feng Zhongliang and them will all confess! ”
In fact, the brothers also know that the two squadrons of Japanese troops plus the two Imperial Alliance Army brigades have surpassed the bandit battalion in terms of numbers, and in terms of firepower, they must also be higher than the bandit battalion.
However, in such a situation of intertwined warfare, the ability of individual soldiers and the ability of small units to cooperate in combat are even more important, and in this regard, the bandit battalion is very different from the Japanese army.
When planning this plan, Ye Tufei once told the brothers that if there was an accident on the battlefield and he couldn't take Takahashi Shin on the eagle's beak cliff within an hour, he resolutely didn't want to fight and retreated immediately.
Now, this battle has been going on for more than an hour, and if you don't withdraw from the battlefield, it is very likely that you will be stuck by little Japan, and not only will you not be able to solve Takahashi's problems, but your own safety will be in question.
However, they gave up like this, and the brothers were by no means reconciled, and they still expected a miracle to happen.
Yan Xiwen saw that the brothers were still hesitating, and roared again: "Do you have to ask the sixth master to speak before you are willing to carry out the order?" ”
Yan Xiwen's roar woke up the brothers, and although they were reluctant, they still gave the order to retreat like their own team.
Then, Yan Xiwen took out a flare gun and fired a yellow flare into the sky.
That was a signal to Feng Zhongliang's company, ordering Feng Zhongliang's company to withdraw from the battlefield immediately.
After receiving the order, Feng Zhongliang's company did not hesitate, and took advantage of the cover of the storm to withdraw from the battlefield with the brothers.
