Sheshan Town, Headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.

When it was time for the changing of the guard, Koyama Tadaji walked up to the small mountain bag on the right side of the exit of the station with the 38 big cover on his back, ready to approach Murahiro's class, Koyama Tadaji and Hiroshi Konmura are both from Kagoshima, and the two are even classmates at Kumamoto's junior military academy, and after graduation, they enlisted in the army together and were assigned to the same squad, and they usually have an excellent relationship.

"Near Mura-san, it's hard work."

"Koyama-san, please."

Although little Japan is cruel, it is not without merit, at least the etiquette is very thoughtful, the two little devils met, in addition to bowing, they also knew to greet each other, unlike the Chinese soldiers, when the changing of the guard was not good, the father had to scold the mother, and it seemed that if they didn't scold a few words, they couldn't show their affection for each other.

After changing the guard, Hiroshi Konmura was not in a hurry to go back, and handed a cigarette to Tadaji Koyama.

Tadaji Koyama put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "China's smoke!" Where did you get that? ”

Hiroshi Konmura smiled: "Do you remember the village we slaughtered when we fought in Fengtai two months ago? ”

"Fengtai? Of course I do. Koyama Tadaji immediately laughed strangely and said, "There is a compound in that village, and there are several beautiful women in the compound. ”

Hiroshi Konmura also laughed strangely, and said, "Speaking of those women, it's a pity. ”

"yes, it's a pity." Tadaji Koyama said with deep thought, "Especially the one with curly hair, the butt is big, round and warped, and the skin is very white, which is more beautiful than the geisha in Kyoto, but unfortunately he was stabbed to death by that bastard of Sato, Sato, this guy is really excessive, kill it, and cut open the lower body of the person." ”

"Don't talk about Sato, smoke." Hiroshi Omura struck a match and came up to light a cigarette for Tadaji Koyama.

At this moment, Hiroshi Konmura suddenly heard a soft sound of "呑", and he was extremely stunned to find that a sword blade suddenly "grew" from Koyama Tadaji's throat, a sword blade?! Hiroshi Omura was taken aback, and when he was about to shout, a large rough hand had already covered his mouth, and he immediately felt a sudden chill on his neck.

After a while, the rough big hand was released, and Hiroshi Konmura and Tadaji Koyama fell down at the same time, and behind the two of them, two people came out like ghosts, but they were two national soldiers wearing German-style steel helmets and thatched steel helmets.

But at this moment, a Japanese soldier suddenly stood up in the grass not far away, and while lifting his pants, he shouted at Xiaoshanbao and asked, "Nanimono?" ”

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, one of the national soldiers raised his hand and shot the Japanese soldier in the eyebrows, and the Japanese soldier fell backwards with his head to the sky, but the sudden gunfire also alarmed the Japanese soldiers in the camp, and the originally dead and silent camp was in an instant commotion, and the reaction of the little Japanese was quite slow, and in just a moment, a group of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the tent.

##########

As soon as the gunshot rang out, Gu Shoufu was woken up, and the old devil was almost sixty years old, and he slept very lightly, but the old devil didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was a small group of Chinese routs that had hit the neighborhood and hit the mobile post of the Japanese army, so he turned over and continued to sleep, but soon the old devil found that something seemed to be wrong.

Because the gunfire outside became more and more intense, not only gunfire, but even the continuous explosion and the screaming of shells passing through the sky, this is not like a rout of the national army, is there really a formed Chinese army to come to sneak attack? This is too incredible, how can the Chinese army know where its division headquarters are?

Also, the Chinese army has already begun a big rout, and there is still a counteroffensive in the heart?

Gu Shoufu hurriedly put on his coat, and walked out of the tent with a saber before putting on his military hat, and the old devil had just come out of the tent, and there was a short scream in the sky, and the Japanese guards who had just come up were taken aback.

Immediately, there was a "boom" explosion, a red light suddenly flashed in front of him, and even more scorching waves of air burst open, making Gu Shoufu's face muscles hurt, and the pungent gunpowder smoke choked him almost out of breath, and a large amount of hot mud and sand fell from the sky and fell on his bare head, burning the old devil straight into his teeth.

After the explosion, Gu Shoufu finally overturned the guard who was pressing on his body, sat up and took a look, only to see that half of the guard's brain had been cut off, and his brains were everywhere, and the person was already too dead to die anymore, the old devil had participated in the Russo-Japanese War in his early years, and he had seen more bloody scenes than this, but there was no discomfort.

"Division commander? Division commander?! In the chaos, Shimono Kazuho's voice rang out.

"Shimono-san, I'm fine." Gu Shoufu slowly stood up with a saber pillar, but he was also very calm, and the first sentence was straight to the point, and asked Shimono Ichihudo, "Have you found the Zhina army in the east?" ”

"No, division commander, the Chinese army came from the north along the Songjia road." Shimono Yihuo's figure came out of the smoke of gunpowder, and he was also very embarrassed, his face was full of traces of gunsmoke, his white gloves had turned into black gloves, and his originally straight tweed coat was also stained with several stains, obviously it had been blown up just now.

"Order the troops to retreat to Sheshan in the east immediately."

Although Gu Shoufu is arrogant, he is not stupid, in fact, he is very cunning, and he is extremely rich in combat experience, just from the sound of gunfire, he judged that the strength of the national army is at least 500 people, with at least 20 light and heavy machine guns, and at least six small-caliber light mortars, which is by no means a force that can be insulted.

Although there were more than 500 people in the headquarters of the 6th Division, most of them were staff officers, communications troops, and sanitary troops, and there were very few real combatants.

"Hello." Shimono Ichihuo bowed heavily, turned around and organized the troops to retreat.

At this time, the well-trained group advantage of small Japan was manifested, although the change was hasty, although the offensive of the national army was very fierce, although most of the remaining personnel of the 6th Division Headquarters were staff officers, communication troops, health soldiers and baggage soldiers, but these non-combatants also received strict military training, and before receiving the order from their superiors, they were all in place, never running around, let alone making loud noises, after receiving the order, the retreat of retreat, the cover of cover, everything was in order, not in the slightest, This greatly reduced the casualties of the Japanese army.

Half an hour after the fierce battle, the remaining personnel of the Japanese 6th Division Headquarters all withdrew to Sheshan Mountain in the east of the garrison, Shimono Ichihuo counted the casualties, only lost more than 100 people, in addition to a dozen seriously wounded, there were nearly 400 people who could fight, Shimono Ichihuo relied on the mountain situation to arrange a defensive line at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside.

The Japanese army has gained a firm foothold on Sheshan, the 19th Brigade failed to attack twice, Xu 19 decisively gave up the plan to continue the strong attack, although the Sheshan is not high, the mountain is not steep, but the Japanese army's combat power is not weak, the echelon arrangement of troops, the setting of machine gun fire points are very orderly, the sacrifice is too big if you attack strongly, and you may not be able to attack it.

In the final analysis, the strength of the 19th Brigade is also very limited, and now there are less than 500 people left.

Gu Wei was a little unwilling, pulled the steel helmet on his head, and said in a muffled voice: "Captain, let's attack again." ”

Artillery company commander Hu Jie and One-eyed Dragon and other infantry company commanders are also ready to move, they can't be unmoved, you must know that on the opposite hill is the headquarters of the small Japanese 6th Division, there is an old devil on it who can carry the rank of lieutenant general, if this old devil can be killed, how much credit should it be? It is enough to award the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun.

"No way!" Xu Shijiu flatly refused, and said in a deep voice, "The little Japan on the mountain is not good, they defend according to the danger, and we don't have any advantage in terms of troops and firepower, I will never let my soldiers die in vain!" After a pause, Xu Shijiu said again, "What's more, we have more important things now." ”

Gu Wei, Hu Jie, and One-Eyed Dragon and other company commanders could only give up.

Xu Shijiu called everyone to the front again, and issued combat missions respectively: "Gu Wei, you take the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th companies to stay, surround the hill from the east, west, and south, step up the construction of fortifications, and strictly prevent the little Japanese from counterattacking!" To the north of Sheshan is a piece of water, and little Japan can't pass through it without a boat, so don't pay attention to it.

Gu Wei, remember, don't attack rashly, otherwise military law will punish you!

Beard, the artillery company stayed, cooperated with the companies to besiege the Japanese army, saving some shells.

Ah Long, your 1st company will split up in squads, and tell each squad leader that their task is to intercept the defeated troops retreating from Pudong and Nanshi, gather them and take them to Qingpu County, remember, no matter how high or low the military rank, if there is resistance, they will be killed!

Be cautious, take the guard platoon, the engineer squad, and the communications squad with me to the county seat. ”

Gu Wei, Hu Jie, and One-Eyed Long Lizheng saluted and took the order, while Gao Shenxing gathered the guard platoon, engineer squad and communication squad and followed Xu Shijiu straight to Qingpu County.

Half an hour later, the sky gradually brightened.

There were dark clouds in the sky, and it seemed that it was going to rain, which was not a good thing for the Japanese army.

Gu Shoufu and Shimono Ichiho stood on the top of Sheshan Mountain, holding binoculars to look at the foot of the mountain, only to see that the east, west, and south directions were all guarded by Chinese troops, and the number was not very large, at most three or four hundred people, which would be stepping up digging trenches, and Jiashi did not intend to attack.

"Nani, the Chinese army is digging trenches." Shimono Kazuho was a little confused, "Do they want to do it?" ”

"Does the Chinese army want to besiege for a long time, or are they waiting for reinforcements to arrive?" Gu Shoufu is not so sure.

Shimono Yihuo said: "Division commander, the strength of the Chinese army seems to be only a few hundred people, if we break through, they can't stop it, do you want to break through?" ”

"No, you can't rush through." Gu Shoufu shook his head and said, "If we leave this hill, just this branch army in front of us is enough for us to deal with, and if there are more branches on the periphery, it will be a big trouble." ”

Shimono Ichihuo said: "Then transfer the Nakamura Brigade back to ensure the safety of the division headquarters." ”

Gu Shoufu didn't say a word, it was a tacit approval, of course, the safety of the division and regiment headquarters must be given priority, although this old devil shouted that he wanted to be loyal to the emperor, but he never thought about it in his bones, in fact, all the officers who have reached a certain height will no longer take the Japanese emperor seriously, they only think about their own honor.

However, Gu Shoufu will not rashly transfer the Ushijima Brigade or Sakai Detachment back, after all, the situation is not clear now, in order to deal with the small Chinese army, the Ushijima Brigade or Sakai Detachment will be reckless and reckless, once the matter spreads, he Gu Shoufu will completely become a laughing stock in the Japanese military circles.

However, if the Nakamura Brigade is only transferred back, it will not have much impact on the overall situation.
