"To the west, Matsushima is doing well, now it depends on whether Tagawa's Chinese army will be dispatched." A valley rallying area, Takasaki said to the messenger with satisfaction.

In order to break the occupation of Tagawa by the Chinese army, and to boost the morale of the people of Kyushu in the war of resistance, Takasaki decided to launch a major war. The fact that the Chinese convoy was able to quickly notify reinforcements after being attacked, showed that the enemy had a large number of wireless communication facilities, but it was a pity that the guerrillas had not captured a single piece of complete equipment so far -- the Chinese army destroyed the radio station and other important facilities as soon as it was absolutely impossible to do so.

You must know that in the Japanese Army, wireless communication is only equipped at the division level, and the rest of the troops still use outdated methods such as horses. Envy is envy, Takasaki found a fighter plane from this, so there was this operation to lure the enemy.

"Jiang Maosheng and Song Hao will block it, and the rest will prepare individual fortifications." After the first group arrived at the top of the mountain, the captain immediately ordered that this was only grass, and there were no trees and stones, which was not good for defense, but fortunately, the grass was soft, which was conducive to the rapid digging of individual bunkers.

The comrades-in-arms wielded a sapper shovel to dig a bunker, Jiang Maosheng and Song Hao found a low bunker, the enemy on the hillside had entered a distance of two hundred meters, but the hillside was densely wooded, and it was difficult to catch the enemy's figure.

"Smack!" The bullet was finally discharged, knocking out an enemy who had burrowed out of the forest. The enemy in the rear quickly hid behind the trees, and the distance from the jungle on the hillside to the top of the hill was about a hundred meters, and this hundred meters was the best cover for the first group - the enemy had to brave the rain of bullets to rush through this distance if they wanted to get closer.

At this time, Song Hao and other team members found out the wisdom of the captain, there were too many enemies, and the jungle was full of rickety enemy figures, and it was estimated that there were more than two thousand people. Now it's better to face an attack from one direction. There is also a geographical advantage.

"Report on the ammunition." Of course, the situation will not be too optimistic, the first group carries limited ammunition, even if it blocks the enemy's attack, it is impossible to stay here forever, and it has to find a way to break through.

"Signal Corps, send a telegram to Fukuoka asking for help." There are so many enemies. It is also a good opportunity to annihilate them in a concentrated manner, and the first group will not attach much importance to the dignity of the so-called special forces, they are not invincible soldiers, but they have received professional training, are familiar with the methods of special operations, and have a strong quality of individual soldiers. In the face of positional warfare, special forces will have the same headache and need a lot of fire support, besides, positional warfare is not a combat method that special forces are good at.

The enemy launched its first tentative attack five minutes later. More than a hundred enemies rushed to the top of the hill, followed by enemy troops hiding behind trees for fire cover and firing with rifles. The first group of fighters immediately took refuge in the individual bunkers that were less than half dug up, the machine guns, bazookas, and grenadiers did not fire under the principle of saving ammunition, and the fighters armed with rifles began to show the results of devilish training, and the accuracy of the bullets was amazing!

Without being reminded by the captain, everyone knew that it was only just beginning, and that it would take at least two hours for the support to arrive. There are too many enemies, and there is simply no need to provide observation support. The machine gun in his hand couldn't fire for the time being, so Song Hao could lie on the ground and enjoy a reasonable rest.

Enemy fire was concentrated on a small position on the top of the hill. Even without continuous fire and artillery, the Japanese rifles posed a great threat to the team. After a distance of a hundred meters, the penetration of the bullet was still strong, and a bullet passed through the improvised bunker made of dirt and hit Jiang Maosheng's left arm, and blood dripped onto Song Hao's face beside him. This made Song Hao serious, and immediately bandaged Jiang Maosheng.

The enemy is not the stupid British army. Some of them were well-trained soldiers of the 14th Division, and they had to repel attacking enemies and dodge incoming bullets. After a simple bandage, Jiang Maosheng continued to fire with his left hand in his hand, and his accuracy was not affected by the injury, but this situation could not be sustained.

"Smack!" Another enemy rolled down. Jiang Maosheng was out of shape, and the Nazi butcher's knife became a death scythe in Jiang Maosheng's hand, and every bullet could take the life of an enemy soldier. But this way of fighting made Jiang Maosheng feel awkward, in the past battles, he never fired more than three shots in one place, and the five-round magazine of the sniper rifle seemed to be a little small, and it needed to be constantly replaced.

Matsushima Taro gritted his teeth a little, the hateful enemy's marksmanship was too accurate, condescending, and more than forty people fell before the attack of hundreds of people had not climbed halfway, it was too cost-effective, withdraw!

The first wave of the attack was repulsed, and the first group quickly repaired its positions and dug unfinished bunkers. Compared to the past, the enemy's attack was not frenzied, but rather cringed, which was explained by the team members as a difference between the guerrillas and the regular army.

The 1st Division of the 1st Army of Fukuoka immediately ordered the nearest 3rd Regiment of Tagawa to support the telegram for help, which was only about 30 minutes away from the battle site, much closer than the departure from Fukuoka. After Tian Chuan's three regiments received the order, the regiment commander Gu Zishan immediately gathered the team, issued an order, and personally led the main force to support, leaving only the three battalions of the three regiments and the regimental headquarters to defend Tian Chuan.

Gu Zishan was a soldier earlier than Le Fei, he was one of the guards recruited by Lu Liang from the cotton mill, and was later promoted because of his flexible mind and hard work in study and training, and later entered the military academy after being formed into the Zhenguo Army, and with the First Army in the south and the north, he was promoted to the commander of the third regiment of the first division five years later.

Different from those officers who were born as cultured people, Gu Zishan's personality was closer to that of ordinary soldiers, and the way of leading troops was more popular with soldiers, and in addition to the standard drill tactics, there was also a peasant-like cunning, which made people unguardable. The reason is that Gu Zishan was originally a farmer from Shandong, and later came to Guangdong as an apprentice to follow the caravan to do business, and was attracted by the high salary to become a member of the Zhenguo army.

Gu Zishan took the initiative to attack Tagawa many times with the three regiments, not only driving the guerrillas out of Tagawa Castle, but also posing a huge threat to the transportation channel of the little devils, which is why Takasaki must eradicate the three regiments. After setting off, Gu Zishan sat on the jeep with an anxious expression, first, the number of special combat teams is too small, once surrounded, there will definitely be many casualties, and it is even possible that the whole army will be wiped out. Second, the third regiment had not been supplied from the rear for half a month, and each soldier in this sortie carried only 150 rifle rounds and two machine gun magazines (each infantry had to carry machine gun magazines), which may not be enough in the event of a larger battle. In addition, for mobility, only ten infantry guns were carried, which was also because the road was narrow and rugged, making it difficult for trucks to pass, and even Gu Zishan's own jeep might be abandoned halfway through.

In less than fifteen minutes from Tianchuan, the road became very narrow, almost a field path, and not far from both sides were low mountain forests, and the marching team became a long snake type of two people in a row, which made Guzishan feel bad, and ordered the reconnaissance company to expand the reconnaissance area, and go forward for 3,000 meters, and the distance of 1,000 meters on the left and right sides should be included in the reconnaissance range. It is impossible to be too cautious in the territory of the enemy country, and Gu Zishan's caution saved the three regiments from a catastrophe.

"Report to Major General, the 3rd Regiment of the Chinese Army left Tianchuan and advanced quickly to this side."

"How far is it?"

"About eight kilometers."

"Where's the number of people?"

"More than fifteen hundred."

Takasaki listened to the report of the scouts, and couldn't help but rub his head, with the loss of soldiers, the quality of the soldiers is also declining, and there are only about 3,000 regular soldiers of the 14th Division who escaped at the beginning, distributed throughout Kyushu to serve as the main force, and most of the people around him are newly recruited civilians, and the quality is not flattering, let alone the guerrillas composed of those civilians. Even the best strategy requires soldiers to execute, and Takasaki can't help but cast a shadow over the future of this operation.

"The order is to be ready for battle, you must wait for the order before you can shoot, I don't want the ambush to fail because of the soldiers." After Takasaki finished speaking, he led people to the ambush position.

In order to eliminate Tagawa's Chinese army, Takasaki carefully prepared an ambush field for it, and on the road to the cliff battlefield, there was an empty valley, more than 1,300 meters long, with an average width of more than 220 meters, which was trumpet-shaped and wide in the north and narrow in the south. The average height of the mountains on the left and right sides is about 130 meters, and the ambush ground of the Japanese army is located here. The disadvantage for the Japanese army is that the mountains on both sides are too low, and it is easy to be broken through by the enemy after the battle, so it is necessary to deploy a large number of troops, and require the soldiers to fight to the death. Tens of thousands of soldiers lay in ambush on the left and right flanks, and more than 700 anti-infantry mines were planted in the center of the valley, just waiting for the enemy to obediently enter.
