Fan Daring took the special training camp to garrison Canglong Ridge along the upper and lower rivers, and there was nothing to do all night, and the Kato United in the valley under the mountain densely set up a lot of tents, so he knew that he could sleep, and from time to time he fired a shot, which was regarded as making a move, basically the same as camping!

When it was almost dawn, the sentry reported that Fan Daring found that the place near the hillside at the bottom of the ridge was suddenly densely packed with Japanese soldiers and puppet troops. Someone was sent to reconnoiter and report that there was a new brigade of the Japanese army and two brigades (battalions) of the Imperial Allied Army at the foot of the mountain, ready to attack our army. It was by no means the Kato Wing, because the Japanese garrison and the camp of the Kato Wing were not together, and there was none last night!

Fan Daring hurriedly sent people to report to the military sub-district, and while sending people down the mountain to Hongshi Lengzi to inform the local comrades, he ordered each company (3 infantry companies, 1 machine gun company, and a small artillery platoon in the whole battalion. Constructing fortifications in preparation for battle, Fan boldly left a platoon of the guard company and added it to each company.

After dawn, the Japanese puppet army quickly launched a tentative attack, leaving behind more than 10 corpses and retreating. At this time, the person who went to report to Commander Yang also came back and brought back Commander Yang's orders, and Yang Bangzi gave Fan Daring three orders: 1. Do not retreat and resist on the spot, 2. The military sub-division teaching brigade and other units are interspersed in the area of Tieyingpan, and converge with the special training camp to flank the enemy in the north and south, and strive to hold the enemy for 24 hours, 3. The military region has been contacted to request support.

Fan Daring immediately ordered the commander of the first company, Liu Company, to lead the company to hold the commanding heights of Canglongling, and allocated two heavy machine guns, the artillery platoon was located behind the position of the first company, providing fire support at any time, and the other companies entered the fortifications to prepare for battle. The position of the first company is just stuck on the road below the mountain, and the position position is the first checkpoint for the devil to want to pass. It is also the position where it bears the brunt of the bloody battle with the devil.

The special training camp has just been set up. The enemy then went on a massive attack. This was especially true of the shelling of a company of positions. The enemy was in several offensive formations, covering each other and rushing towards Canglong Ridge, and suddenly the sound of guns and cannons sounded like thunder and firecrackers in the sky, this time it was different from the Kato United!

This Japanese army was drawn from the field troops, and it has been fighting against the Eighth Route in the northwest of Shanxi for a long time, and even the puppet army that came with it belonged to the kind of traitors with relatively strong combat effectiveness! The special training camp repelled two enemy attacks within an hour, and the enemy left many corpses in front of our position, and the first company also suffered more than 40 casualties. It's almost noon. The cold wind on the ridge was cold, dripping into ice, and the body of the gun was so frozen that a layer of skin was lost as soon as it was touched by the hand!

In particular, Canglongling is a barren mountain and a wild ridge, lacking water sources, the special training camp has added all the personnel into the companies, Fan Daring has a few people around him to protect the radio station and the operator, and everyone in the battalion headquarters, including the cooks, has gone down to the troops, and after a morning of fighting, everyone is hungry and thirsty.

Fan Daring called the only messenger left in the battalion headquarters and asked him to go back to Hongshilenzi to see if he could get some food and drink for the troops in the local area. It's best to be able to serve as a meal and quench your thirst!

As he spoke. The enemy's large-scale offensive began, and this time the devils put all their forces on deck at once. There are a total of 12 routes, one team after another to attack, first shelling, then machine gun cover, step by step like a drill, rushing towards Canglongling, putting on a posture of not taking this place and vowing not to give up.

Fight down and up, and each attack interval is less than five minutes! Moreover, more than 2,000 devils and puppet troops were fully spread out at once, and the positions of the three companies of the special training camp were attacked almost simultaneously! The heavy machine guns of the first company were damaged by the artillery fire of the devils, and without machine gun fire, the devils rushed even harder, and the forward positions were occupied by the devils after changing hands several times!

The rest of the companies also lost their forward positions and retreated to the second-line positions on the mountain, and the offensive momentum of the devils did not weaken at all, but attacked the top of the mountain in a denser formation, and the most worrying thing was that a large number of devils also opened up in the camp of the Kato United in the valley, and they were lining up at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed that they were going to be reinforced!

At this critical moment, a force rushed out of the valley in the west, ran down the valley at a very fast speed, and shot and threw bombs at the enemy's attacking formation, and in a blink of an eye, the flank of the group of devils who came out of the Kato United was turned on their backs, and soon this army rushed into the formation of the devils, and the two sides started a white-knuckle battle!

And that's not all! Rows of gray figures also vaguely appeared on the mountain beam to the northeast! Rush down the hill and rush towards the camp of the Kato United! In the blink of an eye, he broke through the outer defense line of the devil's camp and attacked the devil's base camp! In an instant, the devil's camp exploded one after another, and the flames soared into the sky!

The entire valley was just now only filled with the sound of cannons on the Canglong Ridge in the south, and the fierce battle was endless, but suddenly it became a valley full of deafening shouts and gunsmoke everywhere! The devils who were still fighting with the special training camp on Canglong Ridge were overwhelmed by this sudden change, and they understood that it was the Eighth Road Chong who was besieging the east and west, and they were afraid that their back roads would be cut off, so they retreated one after another!

Fan Daring saw that the reinforcements had arrived, although he didn't know which unit it was, but as long as it was fighting devils, it was definitely his own people, and he immediately ordered to blow the trumpet! Fight back on all fronts! Surrounded on such three sides, the Kato United couldn't support it first, and began to retreat back in groups, and the devils who came down the mountain desperately broke out, followed the fleeing Kato United, and retreated to Tieyingpan, which was considered to have stabilized its position!

The devil retreated, and as soon as he looked at him, Fan Daring recognized that the more than 1,000 people who came out of the west were composed of the teaching brigade of his own military subdivision and several guerrilla units, as well as a lot of militiamen, at first glance, it was the troops that Commander Yang had temporarily put together, Fan Daring didn't know that Gao Yufeng had sacrificed, and he saw that it was commanded by Liang Tianzhu of the 20th Regiment, and he was a little surprised.

In addition, the troops that rushed down from the eastern mountain beams, all in earth-gray uniforms, did not belong to the 11th Division at first glance, and when they introduced each other, they learned that they were the 1st Division and the Taiyue District, and they had received instructions from the military region and rushed over from the valley in the east to support the upper and lower river side blocking battles.

It couldn't have come at a better time! A little later, Fan Daring will have to take the special training camp and fight with the devil! With their support in the flank, after defeating the Kato United, this new devil army couldn't parry, which is good, it didn't enter the red stone lengzi, but retreated eight miles back to the iron camp, and now it is getting farther and farther away from Shimizu Dazuo!

This battle is fought hard! Fan Daring they are not a big tough battle but not the main one, a few days to confront this nest Kato United, it's really boring, the IQ of the little devil is not good, get a lot of their things, today is just enjoyable, and cooperate with the brother troops, the devil is defeated, for Fan Daring, this is probably the most painful battle in the past two years!

The devils were repulsed, and the food sent by the red stone flute also arrived! More than a dozen bags of hemp look quite heavy, and a person is bent at the waist with his back! Open it and take a look, okay! It's all white radishes! These are all vegetables stored by the villagers in the mountains for the winter, and there are no fine vegetables in the winter that year, that is, cabbage and radish potatoes, which are not something that ordinary people can eat!

Radish is a good thing, it can fight hunger and quench thirst! These people are not enough, cut with a bayonet, one person can eat a few pieces, and while eating, a few people from a distance with a white flag came over, and at first glance, it was two puppet soldiers, a plainclothes traitor and a devil officer.

As soon as I talked, I said that I didn't come to negotiate the war, but I wanted to let the Eighth Road raise his noble hand and let the devils take away the corpses that were killed in the war and didn't have time to take them away, in fact, our troops are already cleaning the battlefield, and there are more than 200 corpses left by the Japanese army, all of which are in the camp of the original Kato Wing, and I originally wanted to find a place to dig a pit and bury it, since the devils want it, let them take it away.

As mentioned earlier, when the troops want to retreat, they generally burn the corpses or take away part of the corpses, so many people hang urns or jars around their necks when the troops of common devils retreat.

For example, in the appendix of the book "Gun Smoke" of the 56th Wing of the Japanese Army's Field Artillery, there is a document on the collection of the bones of the dead in Burma after the war, which is the first time that the "bone collection group" was sent to Myanmar in 1975 to the memorabilia of the "consolation group" sent to China in 1980.

Each time the bones were collected and returned to China, the comrades-in-arms of various units in Japan organized a memorial service, and the materials also included detailed records of the previous memorial activities of the 56th Division (Dragon Corps) of the Japanese Army that invaded and occupied western Yunnan and the 56th Field Artillery Wing under its jurisdiction.

It all started in 1973 when Japan initiated the establishment of the "All-Burma Comrades-in-Arms Association Liaison Council", which promoted the Japanese government's Ministry of Health and Welfare to formulate a "plan for the collection of the remains of overseas war dead" in 1974, and raised funds for the upcoming "All-Burma War Alliance" members, raising a total of 85 million yen in April and October of that year. According to Japanese statistics, about 137,000 Japanese soldiers were killed in the Burma battlefield, so a large number of abandoned corpses were left that could not be disposed of in time.

In 1975, the first "bone-collecting group" embarked on a journey to Myanmar, consisting of 141 members. Among them, there are 10 employees of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, 90 veterans, 25 bereaved families of the dead, and 15 members of the "Japan Youth Bone Collection Group" composed of volunteers. This time, a total of 10,717 pillars of bones were collected.

In 1976, the second "bone collection group" went to Myanmar, this time consisting of 163 people. Among them, there are 12 employees of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, 100 veterans, 40 bereaved families of the dead, and 10 members of the "Japan Youth Bone Collection Group". A total of 12,589 bones were collected. A total of 23,306 pillars of bones were collected in the above two times. (To be continued......)
