The second company, which was guarding the main position, saw more than 200 devils running towards the hill and immediately prepared for battle in the trenches. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing that the devils had landed, Hong Lin knew that the second and third companies would give the devils another blow, and it would be time for the whole battalion to retreat. He ordered the personnel of the battalion headquarters to quickly withdraw to Yujiashan together with the company that had withdrawn to the rear.

The commander of the second company saw that the devil was running directly towards the mountain, and at the same time, the two infantry guns that had come ashore also began to bombard the mountain, and he whispered an order that the soldiers could not shoot without his order.

When the devils opened fire, the soldiers all hid quietly in the trenches, and only a few guard posts were watching the enemy's movements.

Anyway, the devil's tricks are only a few times, the artillery bombards the infantry rush, the infantry rushes and the artillery bombards, and there is a frontal assault, outflanking the two wings, and its tactics are relatively dull.

For example, this time the capture of the mountain also adopted this tactic. It may be that the Japanese army took into account that the hill was defended by the New Fourth Army, and the shelling lasted more than ten minutes.

When the shelling was over, the more than 200 devils also rushed to the bottom of the hill and were running upwards with all their might.

When the commander of the second company saw that the shelling of the devil was over, he immediately shouted and prepared for battle, and all the soldiers immediately stood up and quickly lay down on the trench, aiming at the devil who was constantly running through the crosshair of the rifle.

When the devil ran to a distance of 80 meters, the commander of the second company shouted fiercely, and the soldiers guarding the position immediately opened fire, and at the same time, the light and heavy machine guns arranged on the position also fired rapidly.

Fujiki couldn't help but look gloomy when he saw that the troops attacking the mountain were blocked by the New Fourth Army again. For a moment, he couldn't figure out why the New Fourth Army was still firing so intensively on the hill after the blow of his own artillery fire.

Thinking of this, he ordered the soldiers of the two squadrons to quickly outflank from both flanks, and at the same time ordered the troops attacking the hill to intensify their attacks.

When Yanagawa received the order, he immediately ordered the accompanying heavy machine guns to be set up on the spot and fire at the New Fourth Army on the hill, and at the same time ordered the grenadiers to fire desperately at the front.

The commander of the second company saw that the devil was putting on a desperate posture, and he couldn't help but arouse the pride in his heart, and ordered the heavy machine gun to suppress it desperately, and at the same time, the grenadier in the company also began to fire desperately at the position of the devil's heavy machine gun.

If it could not repel this wave of attacks by the devils, the second company would not be able to withdraw at all. When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.

The second company had a geographical advantage, while the devils had an advantage in numbers and the quality of individual soldiers, which was on par with the second company.

Hong Lin saw that the devils attacking the hill did not retreat, and knew that the second company had been entangled, but fortunately, the mortar unit that cooperated with the battalion in the battle had not withdrawn at this time, so he urgently ordered a platoon of soldiers to return with mortars to find the terrain and quickly set up artillery.

The soldiers of this platoon knew that the second company on the hill in front of them had been entangled by the enemy, so they immediately raced against time to set up the mortar, and the platoon commander estimated the position, reported the parameters for the gunner to make adjustments, and then shouted to prepare, release.

The last sound, so to speak, roared out with all his strength, and the prepared artillery immediately put the shell into the barrel, and with a few soft sounds, the shell flew over the hill and smashed it at the devil who was rushing towards the hill.

Those devils were about to rush to the hilltop position defended by the New Fourth Army, when suddenly several shells flew out from behind the mountain, landed in the attacking team, and immediately raised several pillars of smoke, and more than a dozen soldiers were carried into the air.

With the explosion of the shells, the momentum of the devil's attack was paused, and the second company commander knew that it was the battalion commander who asked the mortar unit to pick up him, and immediately took advantage of the fact that the devil was blocked by the shells, and asked the soldiers to throw out a group of grenades, and then quickly retreated back down the mountain.

I have to say that under the training of Xie Pingcai and Shi Qiang, the 69th Regiment has a very good tactical coordination among all units. As soon as the second company withdrew from the hill and withdrew with the mortar troops into the hill to the south, the troops outflanked by the devils from the left flank went around to the back of the hill, and together with the devils attacking in front, they finally occupied the position abandoned by the second company, but the troops outflanked from the right flank were attacked by three companies and one through the ambush, and after six or seven minutes of fierce fighting, the third company was repulsed before going around to the hill south of Xia Yucun.

Fujiki received a report that Yanagawa had successfully captured the hill behind the village and joined up with the outflanked troops, but the New Fourth Army slipped away like loaches.

Confirming the withdrawal of the New Fourth Army, Fujiki breathed a sigh of relief and asked the troops to go ashore as soon as possible, and at the same time deployed troops on the hills around Xia Yu Village to ensure the safety of Xia Yu Village.

It's just that the Fujiki Wing landed in Xia Yu Village, but at the cost of losing more than 600 imperial soldiers, the remaining more than 1,000 Japanese troops, although they arrived on the shore at this time, were already demoralized, especially the loss of almost half of the steamboats transporting the troops, which made Fujiki even more emotionally bad.

When the division commander learned of the successful landing of the Fujiki Wing, he immediately ordered the Fujiki Wing to gradually advance in the direction of Changxing, and at the same time let the fleet return to the sea, and the third brigade of the Fujiki Wing was also rushed to Xiayu Village.

At the same time, the division decided to use Xia Yucun as an important material transfer point for the imperial army.

Tong Guijie received an order from the division headquarters to quickly evacuate Yixing with his troops and retreat in the direction of Si'an. Yixing, which had been conquered by the New Fourth Army, was occupied by Japanese troops from Wuhu eight hours later.

At this time, the Sixth Division in southern Jiangsu already knew that the goal of the Japanese army was to divide the connection between the Sixth Division and the Independent Division, and then break through each one, but the Japanese troops who rushed from Wuhu were numerous, and the Sixth Division could only avoid the enemy's edge, and in addition to sending a small force to attack, it could only watch the Japanese reoccupy Yixing.

After the Japanese occupied Yixing, they then occupied Songjiapu.

However, after the Japanese army in Wuhu completed the division between the independent division and the sixth division, they immediately built positions on the Yixing line, and at the same time built strongholds in important market towns along the line, and a large number of puppet troops also poured into this area.

Liu Tianshu learned that the Japanese army had occupied Yixing and had successfully landed in Xia Yucun, so he and several leaders of the division headquarters went around the map to study countermeasures.

The devils swept the territory of the independent division this time, and the enemy who rushed to Yixing from Wuhu had a full formation of a wing of the devils alone, and at the same time, the Japanese troops who landed from Xia Yucun were also a wing.

Although the Fujimoto Wing was attacked by the 69th Regiment and lost more than 600 men, it was nothing for a wing with nearly 4,000 men.

Besides, the day after the 69th Regiment withdrew to Yujiashan, a brigade of puppet troops landed in Xia Yucun by boat from Wuxi.

"Political commissar, chief of staff, Lao Zhang, now the situation is clear, the devil's goal this time is to eliminate our independent division, you see, there are Sanhe Wing and Fujiki Wing in the north, plus a large number of puppet troops, and they are advancing to the south in a steady and steady way, and we can't find an opportunity to intersperse ambushes at all. The Japanese army in the Huzhou direction has also increased to a wing, which is not the main thing, more importantly, the Japanese troops who landed from Hangzhou Bay have figured out that it is the 142nd and 144th divisions of the Japanese army. Together with the 22nd Division originally stationed in Hangzhou, the Japanese army had three divisions in the area of Hangzhou. Of course, so many Japanese troops naturally did not just fight us, but it was extremely likely that the Japanese army in Hangzhou would go north to flank us. Liu Tianshu pointed to the map and began to introduce the situation.

When Jiang Jinyong heard Liu Tianshu's words, his face was full of worry.

"Tianshu, in this way, in the north and east alone, the Japanese army has the strength of one division, if the Japanese army in Hangzhou goes north again, we are very likely to face the attack of more than two divisions of the Japanese army, how can this battle be fought?"

Xiang Luoquan, as the chief of staff, naturally knew the situation of the enemy and us very well, and he was even more anxious when he thought that tens of thousands of Japanese troops would swarm in. In the past, the New Fourth Army did not fall out with the Third Theater, and it was possible to get help from the Third Theater, or it could retreat to the territory of the Third Theater, but now the Third Theater is probably willing to watch from the sidelines.

Thinking of this, his face was full of melancholy.

Zhang Zhouhong saw that the political commissar and the chief of staff Xiang were very worried, so he said with a smile: "Political commissar, chief of staff, since the devil is automatically sent to the door, what else is there to say, what the hell is, isn't it just two shoulders and one head, the little devil wants to eat our independent division, it depends on whether they have such a good appetite." ”

However, when he said this, his eyes still glanced at Liu Tianshu.

Although he has not worked with Liu Tianshu for a long time, he completely admires Liu Tianshu. You must know that among the old foundations of the independent division, there are not many old Red Army, and it was not the main force in the New Fourth Army before, who knows that after Liu Tianshu arrived in the army, he quickly led the troops to fight a series of victories, and finally developed from a regiment to the seventh detachment, until the current independent division.

In particular, after he arrived at the Independent Division, he was even more surprised to see that the training and tactics of the troops were completely different from those of other New Fourth Army units.

"Lao Zhang is right, if the devil wants to eat our independent division, it depends on whether he has a good pair of steel teeth. Political commissar, I see this, immediately report the situation facing our division to the military headquarters, and at the same time immediately start to withdraw the units directly under the division, field hospitals, logistics departments, and other non-combat units to Tianmu Mountain. The local comrades should also withdraw into the mountains as much as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary losses after the withdrawal of the main force. I thought about it carefully, even if the devils want to deal with us, it is impossible to put so many troops in the northwest of Zhejiang for a long time, as long as we survive until the day when the devils withdraw their troops, it will be a great victory. Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.

Withdrawing the non-combat troops into Tianmu Mountain, and at the same time evacuating the local comrades, this is a last resort, once Changxing City falls into the hands of the enemy, according to his understanding of the devils, he will definitely kill the cadres who fall into their hands, so Liu Tianshu believes that these party and government cadres and anti-Japanese family members had better evacuate in advance.

Of course, in order to facilitate the use of troops to fight, it is also necessary to make arrangements in advance for the food and other materials needed by the troops. (To be continued.) )
