With the Japanese army behind to supervise the battle, these Imperial Allied troops could only sacrifice their lives to rush forward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The commander of the fourth company, who was in charge of blocking the attack, saw that the Imperial Allied Army was starting to fight desperately this time, and immediately ordered the troops guarding the front to retreat back according to the instructions of the regiment commander.

Okada Saburo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that the New Fourth Army had been repulsed, but who knew that he had only walked less than a mile forward and was blocked by the New Fourth Army again.

Only then did Saburo Okada know that something was wrong, because it was getting dark quickly, and his troops were still ten miles away from getting out of the Boar Ridge.

In the end, he had to let a small squad of Japanese troops cross the Imperial Allied Army and attack forward, and at the same time pull up the artillery of the brigade.

All of a sudden, the devils who had beaten the mountains in front of them into smoke and were ready to attack couldn't help but smile when they saw that the blocking position of the New Fourth Army in front of them had been blown into a sea of flames, and imagined the heavy casualties of the New Fourth Army guarding the position.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and a squad of devils quickly rushed to the New Fourth Army's blocking position just now with guns in hand, but unfortunately there was no one on the entire position, except for the pits of different sizes that were blown out.

Just when the devils who rushed forward were suspicious, a volley of bullets suddenly shot out from the hill on one side, knocking over the five devils who were looking around. The rest of the devils were so frightened that they hurriedly lay on the ground, and at the same time fiercely fired back at the side hill.

In this way, the fourth company fought and retreated, and finally blocked the devil in Mahuangpo.

Seeing that it was getting late, Saburo Okada had to order his troops to stop in a valley west of the Mahuang Slope. At the same time, the troops were ordered to occupy the surrounding commanding heights.

In the field tent, Saburo Okada thought of the battle of this day, and an inexplicable worry came to his heart.

His troops were ambushed in Black Hawk Valley, which he was still mentally prepared for, but he didn't expect that he would lose the transport squadron all of a sudden, and at the same time, the loss of troops was beyond his imagination.

What was even more surprising to him was that his troops were blocked by a small force of the New Fourth Army at Mahuangpo.

If it was in the plains, the New Fourth Army on the opposite side would not even be enough to stuff its own teeth, but in the mountains and forests of Wild Boar Ridge, because its own troops could not be deployed at all, they had to stay in the mountains for the night.

The New Fourth Army trapped itself in the mountains, and it would definitely launch a sneak attack on itself at night, but I don't know what kind of way Liu Tianshu will use.

Just in the sleepless anticipation of Saburo Okada, Liu Tianshu's attack really came as promised.

Seeing a few fires burning on the hill opposite, and from time to time you could see figures walking around from the side of the pile, Liu Tianshu said to the mortar man who was following him: "Xiao Zhao, do you see that fire, are you sure to blow it off for me." ”

Although the guards on the hill were most likely the Imperial Army, Liu Tianshu still didn't want to let go, he asked Xiao Zhao and another soldier to shoot two shells at the fire, and immediately began to extend, firing four more shells according to the estimated direction, and then immediately transferred.

Liu Tianshu already knew the terrain behind the mountain, and if Okada Saburo camped behind the mountain, his troops could only camp in those positions.

In the next few shots, he just hoped that he would be lucky and bring some trouble to the devil.

Xiao Zhao and another soldier set up the mortar, and with Liu Tianshu's action, a shell broke out, pulling a long whistling sound, and flew towards the fire on the opposite hill in the night sky, and then the shell hit the ground, and a violent explosion sounded.

It's just that this shell is a little out of position, and only one of the Imperial Allied troops who is walking directly away.

Seeing that the impact point of the bullet was off, Xiao Zhao immediately began to adjust, and the second shell was falling in the panicked Imperial Cooperative Army, blowing up the four Imperial Cooperative Army into the sky, and at the same time, a fire was directly extinguished by the falling soil.

The terrified cries of the Imperial Allied Army sounded on the opposite hill, and Xiao Zhao quickly adjusted the firing angle of the mortar, and then fired four shells in one go.

After hearing an explosion behind the opposite mountain, Xiao Zhao and another soldier turned around and ran into the mountain forest on the side with a mortar in Liu Tianshu's retreat.

Less than a minute after a few people ran away, the devil's shells came at them, blowing up the mortar position just now.

Seeing all this, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but stick out his tongue. is still the commander of the regiment wisely, if he transfers a little later, I am afraid that he will be reimbursed by the devil's shells.

Liu Tianshu's side attacked at the beginning, and Zhou Aiguo, who went around to the other side, also commanded mortars and launched an artillery bombardment towards the camp where the devils were stationed, and a group he commanded, in strict accordance with Liu Tianshu's requirements, fired a few shells and immediately began to move.

Saburo Okada was startled by the explosion of the mortar shells, he hurriedly put on his clothes and came out, and saw that the Imperial Allied troops guarding the periphery had begun to disarray, and at the same time, the Japanese troops living in Pingba in the valley had also suffered two shells, and a field tent was unfortunately blown up, and several imperial soldiers inside were killed and wounded, and the exclamations of soldiers resounded throughout the valley.

Fortunately, the infantry artillery of the artillery squad quickly launched a counterattack, and after firing twelve shells in one go, the mortars of the New Fourth Army stopped bombarding.

Just when he was guessing the actions of the New Fourth Army in disbelief, suddenly, on a small hill in the northwest direction, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out, and then he saw the Imperial Allied Army guarding the hill running down in confusion.

There was a platoon of Imperial Allied troops defending that hill, and when artillery shells were flying from the west and south, a combat group of the New Fourth Army took advantage of the enemy's attention to be attracted and quietly touched the top of the hill, and saw that those Imperial Allied troops were looking towards the south, and immediately jumped up from the darkness, and the long and short guns in their hands slammed at the Imperial Allied Army.

These Imperial Cooperative Army had already become frightened birds, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were overturned, and the remaining Imperial Cooperative Army saw that the New Fourth Army was coming very fiercely, how dare they resist, and under the leadership of the platoon commander, like a lost dog, ran towards the Pingba behind the mountain.

Having occupied the hill, the fighters of that group quickly set up the grenadiers while chasing the Imperial Army, fired four shells at the fire in the flat dam, and quickly withdrew from the hill with the booty.

The most important thing in fighting in the dark is to create panic among the opponent, and inexplicable danger is the most deterrent.

Okada Saburo learned that the Imperial Allied Army guarding the northwest hill abandoned the battle and fled, causing the New Fourth Army to use the hill to bombard the Imperial Army living in Pingba, and he was immediately angry.

Fortunately, the 3rd Squadron, because it was next to the hill, found that the hill was missing, and quickly organized troops to launch a counterattack with the assistance of the brigade artillery. In less than twenty minutes, the mountain was recaptured.

The third squadron immediately left a squad to guard the hill.

Knowing that the gap was blocked, Saburo Okada was able to deal with the unlucky platoon commander of the Imperial Army.

The platoon commander was escorted to Okada Saburo, Okada Saburo's face was pale, and he stared at the platoon commander of the Imperial Association Army who was trembling with fright, and scolded angrily.

After personally splitting the platoon commander of the Imperial Allied Army, who had lost his position, Saburo Okada was still angry, and just gasped for breath, an explosion suddenly sounded on the originally calm hill to the west, and at the same time, fierce gunfire rang out.

One night's attack made Saburo Okada very nervous, these tireless New Fourth Army, always secretly fired a few shots, or fired a few shots, or threw a few grenades, and then turned around and ran, so that the heroic and warlike Imperial soldiers could not adapt at all.

In the second half of the night, Saburo Okada had to let the Japanese take over the outer positions of the Imperial Allied Army, which suffered heavy casualties and was extremely demoralized.

But the Imperial soldiers didn't ask for anything good, these New Fourth Army only fired a few shots from a distance, and the marksmanship seemed to be extremely accurate, and it could always take the lives of some Imperial soldiers from afar.

Or just two cannons from afar, blowing up a few unlucky soldiers, in short, a night of tossing, making his soldiers very tired.

Seeing that the sky was starting to lighten, Saburo Okada, whose eyes were bloodshot, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when last night's losses were counted, he couldn't help but sit on the marching bed.

Last night, the New Fourth Army's non-stop attack caused the Imperial Allied Army guarding the periphery to lose almost 100 people, and the Imperial soldiers who were replaced to take over the defense, plus the soldiers who were unfortunately hit by shells in Pingba, also suffered more than 80 casualties.

In other words, his brigade had not yet walked out of the Boar Ridge, and the casualties of the Imperial soldiers alone reached more than three hundred. The Imperial Association Army lost more than 200 people, plus the attrition of escorting the corpses of the Imperial soldiers back to the Baisha stronghold, and the Imperial Association Army that followed him was already only one battalion.

Seeing the mist in the mountains, his heart began to wet as well.

After pondering for a while on the marching bed, Saburo Okada called the staff officer and asked him to report his situation to the wing commander over the radio. At the same time, please indicate the next steps.

Liu Tianshu stood in a mountain forest on the north side of the Mahuang Slope, looking at the Ephedra Slope from a distance, and silently calculated the troops in Okada Saburo's hands in his heart.

According to intelligence, the Okada Brigade is a full-strength brigade with an establishment of 1,100 people. It consisted of a 30-man brigade headquarters and a 110-man transport squadron, although this squadron has been erased. Four infantry squadrons of 181 men, one machine gun squadron of 174 men armed with 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and an artillery squad of 55 men armed with two Type 92 infantry guns of 70 mm caliber.

In the Black Eagle Valley, he not only eliminated Okada Saburo's transport brigade, but also eliminated almost two squads, the fourth company and the reconnaissance company, a platoon of the interception, and eliminated at least one company of the Imperial Allied Army and a squad of Japanese troops, and last night's attack caused the Imperial Allied Army to lose at least one company, and the Japanese army was at least one squad or more.

In this way, Saburo Okada lost not only a transport squadron, but also an infantry squadron, and the Imperial Army, apart from the company he sent to deliver the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, only had the appearance of a battalion.

In other words, his blunt knife method of cutting meat caused Okada Saburo's Japanese army to lose almost one-third, and the Imperial Allied Army lost more than half. (To be continued.) )
