Huangyang Pass, the defensive position of the L battalion of the 4th regiment.

Half an hour ago, Fujido Takaying personally led the 14th Independent Infantry UU Brigade, the 14th Independent Cavalry Brigade, the 14th Independent Artillery Brigade and the 14th Independent Combat Vehicle Squad to Huangyang'ao.

This time, Fujido Gaoying transferred an independent artillery brigade, and the intensity of firepower was by no means comparable to that of a mere artillery squadron, and the lethality of the 75mm caliber mountain artillery was not comparable to that of the Type 92 infantry gun; after half an hour of artillery bombardment, the fortifications of the L battalion of the 4th Regiment were blown up, and the personnel were also killed and wounded, with more than one-third of the personnel reduced.

In the final analysis, the resources that Xu 19 can get are also extremely limited, and it is impossible for the 19th detachment to build really strong fortifications in the various passes of Erlong Mountain, let alone build fortress fortifications, and the fortifications of the 19th detachment can be supported in the face of grenadiers, mortars and even 92 infantry guns of small Japan, and once it faces mountain artillery or even field artillery with a caliber of more than 75mm, it will basically become an ornament.

After basically destroying the fortifications of the L Battalion of the 4th Regiment, Little Japan immediately launched a strong attack with two infantry squadrons.

After losing the cover of the side-firing fire point, the L Battalion of the 4th Regiment could no longer stop the attack of the little Japanese, and after fifteen minutes of fierce fighting, the little Japanese broke through to the position, and the two sides immediately broke out in a white-knuckle fight, and the remaining more than 100 officers and soldiers of the L Battalion faced about a small group of more than 40 Japanese soldiers, Zuihou was defeated and wounded, and the Japanese troops who broke into the position were all wiped out, and the L Battalion was left with less than 20 people.

The UU Brigade of the Little Japanese Independent Infantry then launched a second wave of offensive, and the remaining 16 officers and men of the L Battalion were ordered by the battalion commander to go to the regiment commander Lu Jianbang for help, and the remaining 15 officers and soldiers were all killed, counting the previous casualties, the battalion of more than 400 officers and soldiers, except for one who survived, and the rest were all martyred

Although the battle of Huangyangao was tragic, it also brought out the military spirit of the 19th detachment.

After Fujido Takaei went up to the position with his saber on his shoulder, he also turned around with emotion and said to the two captains of Hattori and Matsushima: "Hattori-san, Matsushima-san, you all saw it, right?" This small army is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and it is even more at an absolute disadvantage in firepower, but it would rather die in battle than retreat, such an opponent should not be underestimated, not to be underestimated. ”

"Hello." Hattori and Tsushima bowed at the same time, and their faces were a little solemn.

After breaking through the defense line of the L battalion of the 4th regiment, Fujido Takahide left the Hattori Brigade to garrison in place, and then personally led the Matsushima Brigade to continue advancing, and finally joined up with the Ohara Brigade at nine o'clock in the evening.

This is the first time that Takahide Fujido and Shigemi Ohara have met.

Ohara Shigemi strode forward, bowed to Fujido Takaei, and then said, "Your Excellency, General, I have disappointed you. ”

This surprise attack on Erlongshan, although it destroyed the headquarters of the 19th detachment of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, and also achieved some results, but the main task was not completed, that is, it failed to kill the commander of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, Xu 19, and the Ohara brigade also paid the price of more than 20 casualties, which is a quarter of the Ohara brigade

Therefore, in the heart of Ohara Shigemi, this surprise attack was actually a failure.

However, Fujitang Gaoying doesn't see it that way, in his opinion, with just more than 80 people, he can go deep into the hinterland of Erlong Mountain unknowingly, and destroy the headquarters of the 19th detachment of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui in one fell swoop, this is already a miraculous victory.

Of course, Fujido Gaoying also knows very well that such a surprise attack is absolutely impossible to replicate, after all, the 19th detachment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui is not easy to mess with, and Xu 19 is not a fool, after they have suffered a loss, they will inevitably strengthen their vigilance, and it is almost impossible for the Ohara Brigade to replicate such a miracle.

However, since this is the case, Fujido Takaei still thinks that this surprise attack of the Ohara Brigade is very remarkable.

"Disappointed? No, I'm very satisfied with the performance of your Ohara team, very satisfied. Fujido shook his head.

"Huh?" Ohara Shigemi looked at Fujido Takaei with some surprise, he couldn't understand that Fujido Takaei would say this.

"Ohara-san, you don't have to hide it." Fujido Takaying quickly uncovered the mystery and said, "In this battle, although your Ohara Brigade lost more than 20 special combat members, it achieved great results, killing at least 500 members of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui, destroying an arsenal, a hospital, and an arsenal

Ohara Shigemi said: "Your Excellency General, you know everything?" ”

"Well, I know it all." Fujitang Gao Ying said, "Previously, the inside line of the special high school class had already sent back the news. ”

Ohara Shigemi nodded and said: "However, Your Excellency General, this operation of our Ohara Brigade is still a failure, because the main task of this trip, we have not been able to complete, we have not been able to kill the commander of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, Xu XIX. ”

"Ohara-san, don't be modest, if Xu Nineteen is so easy to kill, then he won't be Xu Nineteen." Fujido Takaei waved his hand disapprovingly, and said, "To be honest, I wasn't optimistic about your Ohara Brigade at first, I thought you were too arrogant, but you taught me a good lesson and gave me a new understanding of special operations. ”

Ohara Shigemi bowed heavily and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your compliment." ”

Fujitang Gao Ying bowed his head slightly, and then said, "Regarding this surprise attack, I will report to His Excellency the Commander. ”

"Hello." Ohara Shigemi could not hide the joy between her eyebrows this time, and bowed her head again.

"Alright." Fujido Takaei patted Ohara Shigemi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go back." ”

(Dividing Line)

This was a great victory for the 14th Brigade of the Small Japanese Separate Mixed Brigade.

However, for the 19th detachment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, it was an unprecedented fiasco

After returning to Panshi Village, Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan came to Xu Shijiu together and asked for guilt.

"Lao Xu, I've disappointed you." Gao Shenxing lowered his head, and his tone was a little dull, "Our 5th Brigade failed to leave behind the little Japan that attacked Panshi Village. ”

"No, don't blame the 5th Brigade this time." Li Zihan immediately said, "Captain, I was careless, I didn't maintain enough vigilance when pursuing, and as a result, I let Little Japan kill a horse pistol, and I couldn't organize a defensive line in time when I was caught off guard, so I ⊥ Little Japan broke through the blockade and slipped away, which is all my responsibility......

"Okay, what's the use of holding you accountable now?" Xu Jiu shook his head depressedly and said, "Can we save the brothers who have died by holding them accountable?" Can accountability be exchanged for destroyed ammunition, materiel and equipment? Besides, if you really want to be held responsible, the most important responsibility is actually on me, and this time I was careless. ”

After the 14th Brigade of the Small Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade was stationed in Longkou, it did not immediately launch an attack on the Erlongshan base area, but launched a political offensive more from the occupied and guerrilla areas to compete with the 19 Detachment for the support of the people.

Let's just say that Xu 19's defensive deployment put all the four main regiments of the 19th detachment on the periphery, but only put a guard company with a serious shortage of personnel on the inner line, which is a typical tight on the outside and loose on the inside, so the Ohara brigade will take such a big loophole, so it will suffer such a big loss.

This time, Xu Shijiu really couldn't blame others.

Xu 19 continued: "The most important thing now is to count the losses and redo the defensive deployment. ”

Gao Shenxing, Li Zihan, Li Shuanggun, Lu Jianbang, Niu Sigen and other four regiment leaders nodded one after another.
