328: Where did so many Japanese soldiers come from?

The Royal Army continued the fine tradition of the Han Army, and the combat units were only responsible for combat tasks at the grassroots level, and when the combat orders were issued by the superiors, the combat troops only had to think about how to achieve victory.

As for some strategic things, this is not in their consideration.

On the contrary, Yang Dashan, the commander of the 4th Battalion, knew that once his 4th Battalion advanced rapidly, the entire 603rd Regiment and even the entire 60th Division would have to move forward closely.

Of course, the specific position to advance to, this is not within his consideration, he only needs to destroy which force in front of him.

If it had been half a year ago, Yang Dashan would not have dared to do this no matter what.

But now the situation has changed dramatically, because the radio used by the army began to spread to the battalion level six months ago.

With the help of radio, they can report the situation to their superiors in just a few minutes, which greatly saves the time cost of transmitting information to the troops.

In other words, don't underestimate this radio, although it can't kill enemies like a heavy machine gun, but it is not much worse than a heavy machine gun.

To put it simply, if the troops are surrounded, they need to call for help. In the past, there was only one option to open a gap and let the communication soldiers run out, and whether the communication soldiers would be intercepted and killed on the way is another matter, and the labor cost alone is difficult for people to bear.

Even if the signal corps ran over and relayed the call for help to nearby allies, it would take at least four to five hours for reinforcements to arrive while waiting for the friendly troops to arrive, if it was a two-hour journey each way.

But with radio, it only takes two to three hours to support the support in place, and time on the battlefield is often the most important, and the use of radio is more than that, when the radio is distributed to the troops, it is immediately loved by commanders at all levels.

Because the division-level units carry high-power radio stations, each division even spontaneously set up a radio protection company, and specially dispatched the strength of one company to be responsible for protecting the radio.

Even the battalion-level troops below have also been assigned a separate squad to protect this radio, in addition to the two heavy machine guns at the battalion headquarters, and one is always deployed near the radio.

Although there are many advantages of radio, and at present, there is no disadvantage at all, but with the promotion of radio, this disadvantage will gradually become prominent.

However, even though radio had many advantages, Cao Kun had ordered the high-power radio station of the headquarters to send telegram orders directly to the 4th Battalion.

But by the time the Fourth Battalion received this telegram order from the headquarters, it was still too late.

The fourth battalion used their own personal experience to verify Cai's guess and confirm that Cai's guess was correct, but at the same time, they were also in danger.

The sudden gunfire completely disrupted the deployment of the fourth battalion.

Originally, Yang Dashan just wanted the troops to get into the mountains first, so as to avoid the eyes of the Japanese army, so that they could sneak attack the Japanese troops at night.

But no one expected that when they had just entered the mountain and climbed a not very high peak, they were suddenly attacked by a burst of fierce artillery fire, and in an instant, the four battalions that were caught off guard were killed and wounded, and the number of dead was at least dozens, and the wounded were even more.

The Japanese troops blocking the 4th Battalion had at least two squadrons, and they set up an improvised position on the first hillside, and it was precisely because it was a simple position that they evaded the sight of the 4th Battalion.

And when the 4th Battalion was about to reach the top of the hill, the Japanese troops of these two squadrons suddenly launched an attack on the unsuspecting 4th Battalion.

The fourth battalion, which had encountered a sudden attack, suddenly had some confusion and was at a loss, and the entire unit retreated one after another, and the mortars quickly set up their barrels in the rear, and when they slightly aligned the target, they fired fiercely.

And because the Japanese army occupies a geographical advantage, coupled with the condescending position, the soldiers' attack is already a little difficult, and the heavy machine guns that the Royal Army originally relied on are also useless at this moment, and there is no chance to shoot at all.

"What's going on? How can there be Japanese devils here? Yang Dashan was also a little stunned by this sudden attack, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Something doesn't seem right." Tan Yong frowned tightly, attracted the previous lesson, Tan Yong didn't dare to be careless along the way, and after seeing the Japanese position on the opposite side, he immediately noticed that something seemed to be something wrong with the situation.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't fucking grind and chirp here." Yang Dashan said a little angrily, soldiers have always been straight, and the most annoying thing is the kind of person who talks around the bend, although the staff officers are also soldiers, but the poor talent on them makes Yang Dashan hate it.

At this moment, Tan Yong was not angry, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain peak in front of him: "We have passed through here for about ten miles before, and it took at least two or three hours to go back and forth. For such a long time, it is long enough for these little devils to come down and block our back road. But they had set up improvised positions there, and they were clearly defensive, but they didn't seem to have any intention of attacking us if we hadn't rushed over.

Although they may seem to be well prepared, they are not much better prepared than we are. I suspect that they are devils hiding in the mountains, and although I don't know what the purpose is, our presence is obviously forcing them to reveal their identities.

Perhaps, it was our previous pursuit that caught their attention. ”

"What? The little devil hiding here? According to what you say, don't we know how many little devils' hiding places we have passed through along the way? Yang Dashan couldn't believe it, but the Japanese soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of him with strange behaviors couldn't explain it.

"It should be like this, we should report the situation to our superiors immediately, and then wait for orders from our superiors. At the same time, send a small force to go around the back of the mountain to find out the truth and see how many little devils are still behind the mountain, on the other hand, the troops continue to feint on the mountain, and we cannot retreat first before the order of the higher authorities arrives, otherwise once the Japanese army sees our reality and reality, our identity as hunters will be transformed into prey. Tan Yong nodded and solemnly suggested.

"Okay, the infantry will rest for a while, and the heavy machine guns and mortars will suppress the hill, and wait for the orders of the superiors first." Yang Dashan was also a little scared at the moment.

I have to say that the sudden appearance of this Japanese army made Yang Dashan suddenly afraid, but fortunately they did not take the initiative to go down the mountain to cut off their back road.

At this time, they were still about fifteen kilometers away from the main force of the 603rd Regiment, and the regimental headquarters told them to stop for the time being and wait for the large army to come up before making a decision.

"Report to the battalion commander, chief of staff! Command command! Just as Tan Yong was about to turn around and look for the telegraph soldier, the telegraph soldier Xiao Qian quickly ran to his side with a piece of paper in his hand and reported.

Tan Yong was a little puzzled, but she still took the order from the headquarters, in fact, when she heard this order, she already knew the situation, it must be that the out-of-line actions of the fourth battalion had been known by the headquarters, and the headquarters either let them continue to pursue or let them retreat, but it was obvious that the possibility of continuing the pursuit was not great, because the follow-up troops were too far away.

If the pursuit continues, the fourth battalion is likely to be wiped out as a result, which is a consequence that the Royal Army cannot bear, and it is also a serious blow to the prestige of the Royal Army.

After reading the order of the headquarters, Tan Yong was instantly relieved, his guess was indeed true, and the headquarters also suspected that there were a large number of Japanese troops hiding in this mountain.

Although there is no real evidence, the headquarters will not speculate indiscriminately, their source of intelligence is the news reported by the entire 60th Division, and they integrate the information obtained by the entire 60th Division, and then analyze the results.

The command's order was not unexpected, they ordered the 4th Battalion to retreat to the position of the 603rd Regiment as soon as possible, and if possible, go around behind the enemy in front of the 603rd Regiment, and flank the 2,000 Japanese troops with the remaining three regiments of the 603rd Regiment.

"Battalion commander, the headquarters also suspected that there were a large number of Japanese troops in the mountain, so they ordered us to retreat immediately." Tan Yong handed the telegram to Yang Dashan and said at the same time.

"Is there really an ambush for the little devil?" Yang Dashan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ordered: "Inform the troops to have dinner, make a posture to attack, do not stop mortars and heavy machine guns, and retreat immediately after dark." ”

"Yes!" Tan Yong responded, in fact, his opinion was the same as Yang Dashan.

Now that the two sides have exchanged fire, if they retreat like this, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Japanese army, once they are bitten by the Japanese army, although they are sure to escape, but it is too embarrassing.

At this time, if you put on a plan to fight to the death with the Japanese army, it will attract the attention of the Japanese army, and the enemy is not a fool, since the other party has put on a posture of fighting at night, then the enemy will definitely hurry up to eat and rest, and prepare for the night battle.

In this way, the fourth battalion will have a period of rest and recuperation, and when it gets dark, it will be able to evacuate quickly.

The fifteen-kilometer journey, although it is a mountain road, is actually two or three hours for the troops, and if it is a forced march, one and a half hours is enough.

Sure enough, the actions of the fourth battalion caused panic among the Japanese troops, and the Japanese commander had to order the troops to quickly replenish food and ask for reinforcements, while on the other hand, mortars and heavy machine guns were constantly harassing the Japanese troops on the hill, and the accurate shells blew up several Japanese soldiers from time to time, which made them panic.
