Chapter 59: The Battle of the Bright Light IV
Shangguan Zhibiao saw that there was not a trace of gunfire on the mountain, and the soldiers on both sides were still engaged in hand-to-hand combat, ignoring the guards' obstruction, picked up a rifle, and personally rushed to the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, the Chinese shouts of killing became louder and louder, and the "onboard" of the Japanese army became more and more scarce.
Yang Ruifu walked to the top of the mountain, the battle had just ended, the hill was covered with dead and wounded soldiers, several Chinese soldiers were still conducting the final search, seeing that their brothers still had breath, they organized rescue on the spot, and saw that the Japanese devil was not dead, so he went up to make up for it.
"Shangguan battalion commander, I order you to immediately build fortifications on the spot to prevent the devils from counterattacking." Yang Ruifu also caught up.
Shangguan Zhibiao, who was tired and sweating, nodded, he knew that the battle was not over, and the vicious battle had just begun!
Xu Ming stood at the edge of a small forest, anxious.
used to say that in ancient times, he was afraid of fighting at night, because he could not master and command the troops, but Xu Ming found that he couldn't figure out the specific situation of the battle, how the battle of Peng Cong's 642 Regiment was, and whether he had broken through the enemy's defensive line; As for Qin Lieping's troops, have they outflanked them in place; Xie Jinyuan's department, has Matang taken it down?
He could not appear overly anxious, his composure was not only necessary to maintain his image, but also to show confidence in victory, and a panicked commander could not convince the soldiers.
"Look, Master!" , Following the direction indicated by the guards, a black shadow ran over with a smoke.
That's "too white".
The communications battalion let the "Taibai" preemptively inform the news that a squadron of the Japanese vanguard had been defeated, and now Peng Cong's 642nd Regiment was engaged in a tug-of-war with the Japanese army, and the situation was in a stalemate.
"Xiaobai" also ran back, bringing good news that Xie Jinyuan's troops had occupied Matang and had succeeded in dividing the Japanese army into two halves.
"Dabai" brought bad news, Qin Lieping's troops still did not appear in the designated position, Yujiaao was also occupied by the Japanese army, and even a company of the 641st Regiment was found in Xixijian.
"The 641st regiment is doing it! The Western Stream was the offensive area of the 642 Regiment. Qin Lieping, where the fuck are you! Xu Ming was scolding in his heart.
He even had a malicious imagination that in 2014, on the streets of Beijing or Shanghai, troops of the 641st Regiment appeared, and soldiers and citizens stared at ...... one by one.
Looking at the time, it was almost 5 o'clock, time waits for no one, if you can't divide and surround the Japanese army at the beginning, it will be difficult to completely annihilate the enemy.
"Order all troops, prepare for battle!" Xu Ming was determined to use his own reserves to take over the combat mission of the 641st Regiment.
Where is Qin Lieping, Qin Lieping is now with Peng Cong's troops. In the dark night, his troops were interspersed in the wrong direction and inserted into the side of Peng Cong's 642 Regiment, the black lights were blinding, and the troops of the two sides almost fought, but fortunately, the 98K and the Chinese official were different from the Japanese army's 38-style gunfire.
Peng Cong looked at Qin Lieping, who was remorseful, and there was no way, the mistakes had already been made, and now there was only how to redeem them, the two regiments took the company as a unit, alternately covering and launching a fierce attack on the Japanese position.
The Japanese positions were crumbling, there were no fortifications in the makeshift defensive line, no heavy machine gun positions were set up, the devils lay on the ground, firing at opponents with superior forces, and fierce and brutal hand-to-hand combat broke out from time to time on various positions.
The first captain of the 103rd Brigade of the 65th Wing, Tani Kojiro, used the tactic of "swinging from side to side", and wherever the place was about to be lost or had already been lost, he personally led the reserves to recover, but in the fierce battle, the reserves under him became fewer and fewer, and the amplitude and rhythm of the "left and right swing" became larger and faster.
Liangjiao's face was pale, he no longer had the idea of inviting his brigade commander to Mingguang for drinking or sightseeing, and the most important thing now was not to let the other party arrest him and put him on the street of Mingguang.
"Your Excellency Dazuo, the attack on the No. A Heights has been thwarted again!"
"What! Bastard! Say it again! "The two horns are going crazy, and the Herald's name for Heights A is his temporary name, and he doesn't know what it's called, only that it's very important.
After the squadron occupied Matang, not only did the Kawashita Brigade of the second column of the Japanese army react, but the Japanese commander of the first column also realized that something was wrong, and a Japanese captain temporarily cobbled together more than 500 people to prepare for the attack. Unexpectedly, before I saw the mountain, I was stopped by the blocking force of the squadron.
At the beginning of the battle, he accurately inserted his troops between the two Japanese columns, splitting the connection between the Japanese troops and the Japanese troops in front and behind.
Before the troops had dug a few trenches, they exchanged fire with these more than 500 devils, and light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and rifles formed a dense network of fire, and the Japanese troops who ran into it were suppressed and unable to move.
Leng Guangqian personally led a Japanese army to outflank the attack from the flank, the Japanese devils did not expect the squadron ** team to come to this hand, how could they withstand the flank blow and leave the corpses in disarray.
Leng Guangqian was not a graduate of Whampoa, he was first in Wu Peifu's Third Division, which was known as China's strongest army at that time. Because of factional relations, although he had excellent ability, he only served as a company commander of Yang Ruifu's battalion before the Anti-Japanese War. But this did not hide his shine, and after the formation of the 107th Division, he was appointed commander of the 643rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment.
He had already prepared to predict the actions of the Japanese army, and he was not only not panicked by the arrival of the Japanese army, but was also very happy. He is not afraid of the devil coming, what he is afraid of is that the devil is ready to come again.
He is not ready to defend at all, the war is not only defensive, but also offensive! He was determined to take advantage of the Japanese army's defenselessness and destroy the enemy by offensive means, and sure enough, the Japanese army was defeated.
After hearing this, the two corners were in a hurry, and they gathered more than 200 people for that brigade, and reorganized them into more than 500 people, and launched a wave charge against the 3rd battalion with each squad as a wave.
Ling Ran was not afraid of Leng Guanqian, he commanded the troops, blocked the Japanese reinforcement route with heavy machine guns, suppressed the enemy's heavy machine guns and grenadiers with mortars, and organized the brave team to cooperate with the defenders to gradually divide and annihilate the Japanese troops rushing forward.
After attacking three times in a row, the Japanese army really couldn't fight anymore, and a devil soldier Cao carried the wounded captain on his back and withdrew from the battlefield in disgrace, as for the dead and wounded squadron leader and squad leader, he couldn't take care of it.
Both corners have to breathe fire in their mouths, and he doesn't know how many people there are in the squadron; He didn't know which unit the squadron was; He doesn't even know what some places are like.
Bad news came one after another, all the troops were fighting hard, the positions were lost one after another, there were no reserves left in his hands, and the medical officers in the detachment were thrown into battle!
The Chinese army at the front said there were at least 10,000; The squadron was also found on both sides, and the communication unit reported: "It is found that there are about 5,000 people in the Chinese army, and they are launching a fierce attack on the flank of the imperial army!" "Kawashita's team can't get in touch, otherwise they would have to report that tens of thousands of troops have been found.
There must be more than one division of the people on the opposite side, maybe they knew about the actions of the imperial army and sent a group army over! The more the two corners thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible.
The two corners had to abandon part of their positions, reduce the defensive surface, and invest the saved troops into the attack of the Lengguang Front Battalion.
The brutal battle started again, and there was no reserve in front of Leng Guang, but he didn't retreat an inch, and the battle was like this, fighting for the last five minutes.
He can't withdraw, his position and Matang are each other's horns, and if his position is lost, the commanding heights of Matang will be under more pressure.
"Let the brothers, put the devil close to fight, and don't fire 100 meters away!"
The devil used 3 squadrons at once, two squadrons in front and one squadron in the rear, advancing cautiously, and the heavy machine gunners watched ahead, ready to suppress the fire of the squadron at any time.
When the battle has come to this, the tactics of both sides are well known, and now, it is courage!
There was a strange silence on the position, and suddenly, gunshots like fried beans rang out, and the Japanese support fire also rang out, and one of the commanders of the Japanese army led by the Japanese army held a saber and faced the position of the squadron.
"Onboard ......", all the Japanese soldiers howled wildly, ignoring the dense and accurate fire of the opposite side, and charged forward frantically.
The distance of 100 meters was too close, and there were not many obstacles such as barbed wire, and the Japanese army was able to reach in an instant. That commander had been knocked down, and an adjutant took his place, and by his side, the follow-up units of the Japanese army continued to advance.
"Your Excellency Dazuo, the troops have rushed up!"
"Excellent! Order all troops, storm on all fronts! ”
There was only one pistol on his body in front of Leng Guang, he casually picked up a sapper shovel next to him, roared and rushed towards a devil who came up, and the rest of the soldiers also jumped out of the trench and started a white-knuckle battle in front of the position.
The 3rd Battalion in the north was fighting a bloody battle, and the Matang Heights in the south also entered the last moment.
Captain Kawashita can't remember how many charges he organized, and each time he was counterattacked.
The high ground was filled with gunsmoke, and the Japanese once again launched artillery fire before the charge.
Seiichi Kawashita had a bold idea, he advanced the artillery to less than 200 meters from the Chinese position for direct close-range fire.
Generally, this is done to deal with the fortifications, but Kawashita is also in a hurry now, if he can't take Matang again, the main force of the Liangjiao detachment can't retreat south if they want to.
The attached artillery was constantly knocked down, and the mortars and bullets of the squadron were poured like hail for money. But the devil's artillery is still under the cover of smoke * shells, desperately moving forward.
But this mode of combat is a great test for themselves and the enemy, after the artillery is advanced to a close range, the shells can accurately hit the trenches of the squadron, often a single shot can kill several Chinese soldiers, and the heavy machine gunners are suppressed so that they can't raise their heads.
Deputy Regiment Commander Yang was also wounded, and just after a shell landed beside him, shrapnel hit him in the shoulder, and the man was unconscious at that time, and the guards quickly organized men to carry him off the line of fire.
"Onboard ......", the devil on the opposite side once again launched a charge.
The positions of the 1 battalion had already wavered, and one of the platoon commanders, seeing that the situation was not good, withdrew like the rear.
"Bad seeds! Where to run! The platoon commander was excited, and when he looked up, Xie Jinyuan personally led the reserve reinforcements to come.
This is the last reserve of the 643 Regiment, Xie Jinyuan organized all the non-combat personnel of the unit, such as men, clerks, and signal soldiers, gathered a reserve of more than 500 people, and asked a staff officer to take more than 200 people to support the 3rd Battalion, and he personally brought more than 300 people here.
Xie Jinyuan's arrival greatly boosted morale, and the soldiers who were already a little flustered roared into the position again, and some soldiers rolled together with devils in their arms, rolling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
Captain Kawashita looked helplessly at the retreating Japanese soldiers, he had done his best, his troops had not rested since last night, they were attacked when they were most tired, and they fought for more than 3 hours in a row, and now the physical strength of all the soldiers is a big problem.
The captain of the two corners looked at the south with his eyes, the sky was already bright, and the outline of the position was gradually clear, and a central ** flag could be vaguely seen flying high on the mountain.
In the south is the troops under Sichuanshita, and the distance between them last night was 1 kilometer, and it is still 1 kilometer now, but this 1 kilometer is both opposite and thousands of miles. His troops had once again been driven down in the attack just now. That kilometer was the longest distance he had ever experienced in his two-cornered work.
"Your Excellency, Captain Kawashita, the Kawashita Brigade has sent a signal requesting a separate breakout!"
The two corners also saw the signal, and he nodded with his eyes slightly closed.
"Order all troops, disperse and break through!"
