Chapter 161: Reinforcements Arrive

"Northern Anhui save [***]? Tiger Brigade? Li Pinxian was surprised, and wondered: "What are they doing here, could it be that they are here to reinforce us?" ”

"General seat, it's possible, the commander of the Tiger Brigade Qiao Anbang made great achievements in the defense of Nanjing, with thousands of remnants of soldiers thousands of miles to fight, the little devil killed is corpses all over the field and blood flowed like a river, and finally recovered Shanghai, it is simply happy!" The staff adjutant is also a long admirer of Qiao Anbang and the name of the Tiger Brigade, and when he heard that it was the Tiger Brigade, he couldn't help but be very excited.

"Damn, if that's the case, then we will have an extra boost, this Qiao Anbang's Tiger Brigade is extremely strong in combat, with their joining, maybe we can really recapture the South Shore position in one fell swoop." Li Pinxian said thoughtfully.

After pondering for a while, he immediately ordered the adjutant of staff and the signal corps: "Immediately notify all the troops on the front, closely observe the movements of the Tiger Brigade, and if the situation allows, march to the south bank and recapture the position on the south bank." ”

"Yes!" The staff adjutant and the communications officer bowed their heads at the same time, and then turned and took the order to leave.

On the north bank of the Huai River, Qiao Anbang's vanguard regiment had arrived here half an hour ago, and due to the lack of transport boats and tanks and armored vehicles of the pontoon armored brigade, it was temporarily impossible to cross the river, but in order to rescue Chu Jingming and his security regiment, Qiao Anbang immediately ordered the guard regiment to start crossing the river with the assault boats and rubber boats he carried.

In half an hour, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the guard regiment had all crossed the Huai River, and without waiting for the second and third battalions to cross the river, Qiao Anbang personally led the first battalion to kill Fengyang Gorge along the shouting and killing.

Because at this time, the 116th Division of the Japanese Army had just captured Tianma Peak not long ago, and was still resting at Tianma Peak, and the 58th Infantry Wing was still fighting fiercely with the Security Regiment, so the commander of the 13th Division, the state soldiers, was not in a hurry to order the troops to cross the Huai River north, so the devil did not notice the guard regiment that was quietly crossing the river.

When Qiao Anbang led a battalion of the guard regiment to rush to the foot of the other side of the mountain, the fierce battle on the mountain continued, and there was about a squadron of devils stationed at the foot of the mountain, but their fortifications were all aimed at the mountain, apparently to prevent the security regiment on the mountain from breaking through.

Qiao Anbang did not hesitate, and immediately led a battalion to attack from the rear of the devils.

"Kill! Come on! ”

"Dada...... The roars of the soldiers, the German MP38 submachine gun and the dense gunfire of the M1 Garand rifle suddenly rang out.

The devils, who were all focused on the mountain, were startled by the sudden sound of gunfire and shouts of killing behind them, and before they could turn around, a dense rain of bullets hit them in the face.

The first battalion has an absolute advantage in both strength and firepower, and it is a sneak attack, so the two devil squads stationed at the foot of the mountain have more than 100 devil soldiers who were completely wiped out by the first battalion in less than ten minutes.

On the other side of the mountain, the headquarters of the 58th Infantry Wing of the Army.

A devil officer hurriedly ran into the headquarters with a look on his face, and saluted to Kuramori Gongren Dazuo and said: "Report to Your Excellency, the mountain pass on the west side was attacked by the Zhina Army, and the two infantry squads were all shattered, and the Zhina Army has now attacked the top of the mountain." ”

"Yaga!" Cang Sen Gongren was shocked when he heard this, Huo Ran got up, walked to the Shaozuo officer, and said in disbelief: "What are you talking about?" Where did the people of China come from? How many troops do they have? ”

"It's supposed to be from the North Shore." The devil Shaozo bowed his head and replied: Their strength should be around four or five hundred. ”

"Yo Xi, four or five hundred people." As soon as he heard that there were only four or five hundred people, Kuramori immediately regained his composure and immediately ordered: "Order the attacking troops, the first brigade to withdraw from the battle, turn around to meet the reinforcements of the Shina people, and the second and third brigades will go all out to encircle and annihilate the Shina army on the top of the mountain, and be sure to annihilate it completely, and then concentrate all their efforts to encircle and annihilate this group of Shina troops who rushed to die." ”

"Hay!" The devil Shaozuo suddenly bowed his head and immediately took the order away.

Seeing the young officer leave, the chief of staff on the side said to Kuramori with a worried face: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, I suggest that we inform the 116th Infantry Wing of this battle situation, and ask them to send troops to assist us in encircling and annihilating the Chinese army, and block the coastal crossings to prevent the Chinese army from sending reinforcements to the south bank. ”

"We don't need to assist us, we will soon be able to wipe out the peak China and their reinforcements in one fell swoop, but we can ask the 116th Wing to block the ferry, and we can't let the China reinforcements cross the river again." Kuramori thought for a moment.

"Hay!" The chief of staff bowed his head abruptly, and then strode away with his saber on his shoulder

On the top of the mountain, after more than half an hour of fierce fighting, Chu Jingming's department had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and there were less than 300 surviving officers and soldiers.

Chu Jingming was covered in blood, and he was struggling to wield a picked up iron broadsword, his original rifle with a bayonet had already been thrown away by him because the bayonet was overwhelmed, and now the broadsword in his hand was a sacrificial soldier.

"Die!" Chu Jingming slashed a devil who tried to sneak attack another soldier to the ground with a knife, and rushed towards the other devil soldier out of breath.

Suddenly, he found that the number of devils who were fighting fiercely with them had decreased in vain, and some of the devils seemed to have quietly withdrawn, and Chu Jingming was puzzled, when gunshots and shouts suddenly resounded through the valley in the middle of the mountainside.

Chu Jingming clearly heard the shouting and killing sound coming from the mountainside, and his heart was excited, and he hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, he saw a blue sky and white flag blowing in the wind, and hundreds of soldiers wearing [***] military uniforms under it were rushing towards the top of the mountain.

Chu Jingming suddenly had a feeling of being in a desperate situation, and immediately opened his throat and roared loudly: "Brothers! Reinforcements have arrived! Our reinforcements have arrived! Kill! ”

As soon as they heard that the reinforcements had arrived, the soldiers, who had been almost collapsed, suddenly came to their senses, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they all fought hard to attack the devil as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Many people are fighting to the death with devils, and tears of excitement flow, and it is difficult for people who are not personal to understand the mood of the more than 200 remnants of the Dao Security Regiment at this moment, and how depressing the feeling of being surrounded and desperate to survive is.

With the hope of life, it is like seeing a glimmer of light in the darkness, more than 200 soldiers burst out of a very strong survival **, and the combat effectiveness naturally climbs geometrically.

The devils who had the upper hand just now gradually lost the upper hand, but because they still occupied an absolute advantage in troops, the battle situation fell into a stalemate again.

Besides, Qiao Anbang led a battalion to rush halfway up the mountain, but was blocked by hundreds of devil soldiers, because these hundreds of devils basically retreated the bullets in the chamber when fighting bayonets before, the devil soldiers who were brave and brave did not stop to reload the bullets, but rushed down from the mountain, trying to defeat the battalion with a white-knuckle battle.

When the two sides were less than 100 meters apart, Qiao Anbang took the lead and fired fiercely with an MP38 submachine gun in each hand, and hundreds of officers and soldiers of the first battalion behind him followed closely behind, firing fiercely while charging.

Dense bullets rained down into the crowd of devils like a torrential rain, and the crowd of devils who were charging were hit head-on in an instant, and they fell down screaming like wheat harvesting.

The powerful firepower composed of hundreds of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns is not comparable to the devils, not to mention a group of devil soldiers without bullets, such a battle is simply slaughtering.

Many devils fell to the ground, and the last thought before they died was to scold the people of China for being cunning and dripping.

Kuramori Gongren, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, held a telescope and watched the one-sided battle halfway up the mountain, and when his first brigade was almost wiped out, he finally broke out, and roared angrily: "Baga Yalu, how can this be? How could the firepower of the Shina people be so strong? And what are our warriors doing? Why not shoot back? ”

However, several staff officers present could not answer him what the hell was going on.

"Wing Commander, the situation seems to be very bad, I suggest that we hurry up and request support from the 116th Infantry Wing!" The chief of staff hurriedly bowed his head and suggested.

"Hurry up and drop! Inform the 116th Infantry Wing and let them rush to our aid. Seeing that one of his infantry brigades had been wiped out in the blink of an eye, and that the squadron did not seem to stop advancing, it launched an attack on the rear of the second and third brigades on the top of the mountain, and he waved his hand again and again in fear.

"Hay!" The chief of staff bowed his head again and turned to convey the order.

At the ferry, while the first battalion was fighting, most of the second and third battalions of the guard regiment had also crossed the Huai River, Wang Gensheng was worried about Qiao Anbang's safety, and he didn't care about waiting for the next few infantry platoons, so he led the main force of the second and third battalions to the south.

Not long after they had just advanced, they happened to encounter an infantry brigade of the 116th Infantry Wing of the Yue Army, which had hurried from Tianma Mountain, and without any hesitation, the two sides immediately exchanged fire.

As the fierce battle progressed, the guard regiment calmed down from the initial panic, Wang Gensheng began to give full play to the advantages of the guard regiment's equipment, and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on the devils, and when the unprepared devil brigade was defeated, the other two brigades of the 116th Infantry Wing rushed to hear the news.

With the arrival of the devil's reinforcements, although the devil has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, the guard regiment is well-equipped, and the fierce battle between the two sides gradually becomes white-hot.

The commander of the 116th Infantry Wing, who was sitting on Tianma Peak, received the astonishing casualty figures from the frontline brigades one after another, and mistakenly thought that the squadron on the north bank had started a large-scale counteroffensive, and hurriedly reported this information to the headquarters of the 13th Division in Fengyang.
