Section 96 Division of Troops

Kijima was furious, Gao An, this humble little city brought him humiliation again and again, like his nemesis of life, making it difficult for him to deal with.

Judging from the previous investigation, the enemy did not have many troops left behind, and with several times the strength of the troops, plus the strong artillery support of the artillery brigade, it should be effortless to take such a small city. Even if the enemy force on the opposite side far exceeded the combat strength of other troops, which had already made him look at each other with the same strength, but the situation of the battle to this day was still something he had never imagined.

After being angry, Kijima couldn't help but fall into deep thought, judging from the time, this enemy army should have completed the task of breaking off. Judging from the actions of the enemy's main force, it should have abandoned the defense line of Gao'an, but why is this enemy army still holding on to Gao'an, its tenacity and tenacity are even greatly beyond their imagination, why is this? Could it be that the commander of this army has gone mad with such disregard for casualties?

Kijima robes don't dare to think so, he has fought with the other party here several times, almost none of them can gain the upper hand, the superb tactical ability of the enemy commander, is what he dare not underestimate in the slightest, since they do this, there must be a reason he did not expect, face to face, the enemy must be insufficient, this kind of hard battle, fight is attrition, although the enemy's combat power is good, but without strong artillery support, it will definitely be defeated in the end, the only way is to frontal stalemate and attack on the side, Attack your weakest point with the main force.

But where are the main forces of the enemy army?

Now that there is a stalemate on the frontal battlefield, where will the enemy attack from? Kijima thought about it, and couldn't help shouting to the staff officer on the side: "Continue to send additional people to reconnoiter the situation within a radius of twenty miles, and then telegraph to Sonoda-kun of the capital wing, don't necessarily ensure the safety of the front line of Xiangfuguan." ”

This is the third time that Kijima has sent additional scouts, fighting in this strange land of mountains and mountains, he has an inexplicable sense of great oppression, although the two hundred scouts of the reconnaissance squadron are already quite a lot, but after they are scattered, they feel a little bit of a drop in the bucket. For this reason, he had to put a large number of troops on this to ensure the safety of the army.

After arranging this, Kijima was finally relieved, and he put all his thoughts back on Gao'an Castle, trying to think about how to take this small city as soon as possible.

Lion Ridge is lush with vegetation and verdant mountains. The chirping of insects and birds reflects the tranquility of the deep mountains. Suddenly, the two horsemen galloped from a distance, the earthy yellow military uniform on their bodies was particularly conspicuous, and the two horses galloped along the not very wide avenue, they glanced at this place from a distance, and then galloped away without the slightest movement.

On a tree on the mountain ridge, the bodies of the two vigilant sentries were hidden among the leaves, and they couldn't help but chuckle when they looked at the Japanese soldiers who were leaving from a distance, and a young soldier who was not very old asked with a smile: "Brother Li, the devil's scouts have passed three waves, why hasn't anyone entered the mountain to take a look?" ”

The person known as Brother Li was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, his dark skin and unsmiling expression made him look very steady, and when he heard the young soldier's question, he grinned rarely: "We are eight or nine miles away from the devil's position here, all the way over, there are not only ten such mountains, but also eight, those half-sized small dirt bags are more, and there are only a few devils, if you have to look at every mountain, I'm afraid these scouts will be tired to death." ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and his favorite thing was to listen to the veterans chatting, and when he talked about the previous wars, he listened to them with energy.

"Brother Li, then we are so far away from the devil, if they want to run, will we catch up? We've been on this mountain for two days, so why don't we go to fight devils. The young man seemed to be a little impatient and couldn't help asking.

Lao Li couldn't help laughing and scolding when he heard it: "How old is your baby, how do you know the Tao here, we are going to get close to the devil, as soon as there is a stir, the devil will be discovered, then this battle will not be able to fight, fight hard with the devil head-on, we are not enough." If it is farther, people will run dozens of miles and then fight, how can they still have strength, so now this distance is just right, as long as the devil shows his flaws, they will die. ”

The young man was a little unhappy when he heard this, and immediately said: "I'm not young, besides, fighting a war doesn't depend on age, don't you see that the head of the regiment is about the same age as me." ”

Lao Li was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy, he scolded with a smile while looking at the avenue in the distance: "You are still compared with the regiment commander, if you have a finger from the regiment commander, you don't want to accompany me here, none of the devils who died in the hands of the regiment commander have a reinforced company, and you only killed a few little devils?" You kid still have to compare with the regiment commander, you first practice your skills to win the bayonet with the devil. ”

In the valley, the head of the regiment, who seemed to be extremely strong in Lao Li's mouth, was looking serious and sad at the moment, beside him, Gao Da Hammer, Li Shijian and others sat silently, and their expressions were also very serious, they had been here for almost two days, but the situation did not develop as they had expected, and from the time point of view, the situation in Gao An was no longer optimistic.

Shi raised his head and asked Cheng Yong on the side, "Do you have any news, madman?" ”

"The devils have arranged a large number of scouts around Gao'an City, and our people can't get close, but the gunfire in the city is still very intense, and it seems that the first battalion commander is still fighting with the devils." Cheng Yong replied seriously.

Stone's brow furrowed even harder, he paced two steps behind his back, suddenly turned to the tall sledgehammer and asked, "How long can their ammunition last madman?" ”

The tall sledgehammer replied calmly: "It's enough for them to use it for two days." Seeing that the stone was silent, Gao Da Hammer couldn't help but add: "Before evacuating Gao'an, in order to allow the first battalion to hold out longer, we left a lot of light and heavy machine guns in each battalion, and Hu Zi and Xiaoshan are in Chaotianmen, once the situation is not right, they are enough to withdraw from Gao'an safely." Sledgehammer clearly knew the stone very well, and knew what he was worried about at the moment, and couldn't help but sigh with relief.

Hearing this, Shi really breathed a sigh of relief, his brows were slightly lighter, and after alleviating some worries, he said in a deep voice: "The battle of Gao'an has been fought for a long time, and the main force of the devil should have all fallen into the battlefield of Gao'an, and now the devil has attacked for a long time, and he must have suffered heavy damage, even if the devil's previous artillery fire was really fierce, but since he did not capture the city in one breath, the longer it drags on, the more amazing the casualties caused to the devil." From this point alone, Gao An's battle has reached the original expectations. ”

Li Shijian, the commander of the third battalion, rarely speaks, and his personality is somewhat similar to that of a tall sledgehammer, but at this time he couldn't help but say: "Tuanzao, this kind of battle that kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, if it ends like this, it is better not to fight, and it is not cost-effective to fight the lives of the brothers in the first battalion and kill the enemy under the artillery fire of the devils." ”

Li Shi saw that he was already taking care of Shishi's face, if this battle was not commanded by Shishi, I am afraid that he would have scolded directly at this moment.

Gao Da Hammer was obviously unhappy when he heard this, and couldn't help but sneer: "Could it be that Battalion Commander Li has any high opinion that he can kill the enemy without paying a price?" ”

Shi waved his hand and interrupted the two, for fear that they would quarrel at this time, and couldn't help but say: "Battalion Commander Li is right to cherish the lives of his brothers, but sometimes it is really impossible to consider so much in a war, as far as the current Gao'an is concerned, if we withdraw from Gao'an yesterday according to Shangfeng's order, then it is obvious that the devil will get an undamaged Gao'an city." At present, the battle of Nanchang has basically been fought, but no one can say when we will kill a horse pistol, today we have a bloody battle with the devil in Gao'an, no matter how big the casualties are, at least Gao'an City is destroyed, and it is obviously impossible for the devil to rely on this, in this way, even if a battalion suffers heavy losses, it is not ideal for the battle in front of him, but it is very helpful for the future battle, and it is much easier to fight a ruined Gao'an than to fight a complete Gao'an. ”

Li Shi frowned when he heard this, and nodded after a while, obviously agreeing with Shi's statement, indeed, from this aspect, this battle is really worth it, just to resist the attack of a battalion and a wing of devils, this battle is really unacceptable.

Shi sighed at this time and said: "The devil has not drawn troops from the flanks so far, I don't know if he has seen through our strategy, or if he plans to transfer troops from the front line of Xiangfuguan, if it is the latter situation, it will be very unfavorable for us, and I don't know if the madman will retreat in time." ”

The tall sledgehammer said unhurriedly: "Stone, you seem to have some gains and losses today, which is not the same as usual!" ”

Shi said helplessly: "This battle is what I insist on fighting, because I lost so many brothers because of my own thoughts, I really don't know if it's right or wrong." ”

Li Shijian immediately got up and responded: "The group seat is dedicated to the country, and the whole group has no regrets even if they die." ”

Just when the stone wanted to continue to say something, Zhang Donkey came flying and shouted loudly: "Commander, the devil has moved." ”

Shi Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and for a moment the whole person seemed to be relieved, and he couldn't help but quickly meet Zhang Donkey'er and asked urgently, "What's the matter?" The devil has divided his troops? ”

Zhang Donkey nodded vigorously, and said with a happy face: "The troops have been divided, regiment commander, the devils in Neihuang have divided their troops, and the devils have been fooled." ”

Stone's eyes flashed instantly, and the tall sledgehammer that sat there like a hill stood up, full of power.
