Section 152 Counterattack on Gao'an XLVIII

Gao Da Hammer's words made Wang Mengeng stupid, he couldn't react a little, and even wondered if Gao Da Hammer was playing with him, but now this situation is not the time to joke. After a deep groan, he still asked a little unwillingly: "Battalion commander, you're not joking, are you?" Didn't you order us to retreat before? ”

Gao Sledgehammer snorted coldly at this time and said: "It was the order we gave me before we came, he told us to rush here on a rapid march, and then hold it until dark at all costs, as long as it is dark, we must retreat, no matter what the big event happens, no matter what the situation is at that time, even if we are fighting with the devil with bayonets, as soon as it is dark, we must retreat." ”

Wang Mengeng is really getting more confused the more he listens to it now, before leaving? When was the battle of Jinggangling over, there were still several hours before dark, and the entire battle plan had not yet been rolled out at that time, right? The group arranged all this at that time? This is also incredible!

Gao Da Hammer also sighed at this time and said: "Let's go, don't think so much, in terms of fighting, the regiment commander's ability is much more powerful than we imagined, this kind of battle that is clearly sent to death, only he dares to fight, the most terrible thing is that we are as crazy as him, and we don't even think about it." ”

Wang Mengeng listened to the shouts of the Japanese army becoming clearer and clearer, and he couldn't care so much for a while, and immediately said: "Battalion commander, the devil is coming, let's withdraw too!" ”

Compared with the Japanese troops who roared and launched suicidal attacks at the bottom of the mountain, the calm and frightening calm on the Nationalist positions at the top of the hill that had previously inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese troops. When Kada Yong brandished his saber and rushed halfway, he already felt such an abnormality, and at first, he thought that the enemy army was the same old way again, and he wanted to get closer to fight them. But when he rushed to a distance of only about thirty paces from the enemy's position, he felt a different atmosphere. Especially in this situation of smelling the pungent smell of blood and stepping on the corpses of dead comrades, the calm on the enemy positions was even more oppressive and terrifying.

If there was a choice, it was very likely that Kada would order the troops to stop advancing and find out the situation first, but at this moment, the morale of the soldiers was finally boosted, and once the consequences were unimaginable, he had no choice but to stiffen his head and wave his sword and continue to advance.

It wasn't until Jia Tian Yong rushed to the top of the mountain and rushed to the pile of ancient buildings that had long been reduced to ashes that he was stunned to find that the enemy had actually withdrawn! This made him both surprised and delighted, and his expression was complicated for a while. He was pleased that the position that had not been taken down for an afternoon had been taken in his hand without the slightest effort, and to his surprise, as soon as it was dark, the enemy had withdrawn unconsciously, obviously with a more terrible premeditation. But looking around the black whirring, he really couldn't muster the courage to continue the pursuit, if he was ambushed by the enemy in the process of pursuit, the consequences would be too terrible.

At this time, Sajiro Honda also arrived, he looked around, and immediately shouted to the people beside him: "Send scouts immediately to search for the whereabouts of the enemy troops, and the others will be on guard." ”

Jiang is really still old and spicy, and the gap in combat experience is vividly reflected at this time. In the event of an emergency, the commander's on-the-spot adaptability, in fact, represents a person's command ability, in the case of Kada Yong's helplessness, Honda Sajiro almost did not have to think about it to make a more reasonable arrangement, no wonder the same captain, Kada Yong has always been respectful to him.

"Honda-kun, what are the enemy trying to do?" Kada couldn't understand why the enemy had retreated, and this strange situation even made him forget his previous act of self-apologization, and put all his mind back on the battlefield in front of him.

Honda Sajiro pondered for a moment and said: "There are two possibilities, either the enemy army is short of ammunition and can no longer hold on, or they are ready to change places and attack us again!" ”

Hearing this, Kada Yong thought for a while and said, "Honda-kun, I think the first case is more likely. ”

Sajiro Honda asked a little strangely, "What is Kada-kun's opinion?" ”

Jia Tian Yong said almost without thinking: "It's very simple, if the Chinese army wants to continue to give us huge casualties, they only need to continue to stay here, with the combat power they showed before, they have such strength, it is really too much to ambush us halfway, and after passing these mountains, all the way to Xiangfuguan is a flat avenue, and they will no longer have any geographical advantages." ”

Honda Sajiro nodded seriously, obviously agreeing with Kada Yong's inference, the enemy army should also be the end of the crossbow, after all, after fighting for an afternoon, not to mention anything else, the consumption of ammunition alone is really amazing, the enemy arrived here in a hurry, it is impossible to carry a sufficient number of supplies, and it should be the extreme to be able to hold out until now.

At this time, a second lieutenant of a scout climbed up the mountain, accompanied by several soldiers, and vaguely saw the two captains, and immediately hurriedly saluted and shouted: "Report to the two Excellencies, just now the secret sentinel of our reconnaissance squadron has detected that the enemy is retreating in the southeast direction, and we are not enough in number to dare to startle the snake, and we have not been able to delay the retreat of the enemy." ”

Sajiro Honda and Isamu Kada couldn't help but glance at each other, although the night was so thick that they couldn't see the expressions on each other's faces at all, but they could roughly guess that the two were secretly relieved almost at the same time.

"Where is the Shina army now? How far is it from here? Sajiro Honda still asked a little uneasy.

The second lieutenant immediately replied: "It should be almost two miles, and the speed of the enemy army is very fast." ”

The chief of staff of the Fourth Brigade on the side interjected and said: "Honda-kun, we found several light and heavy machine guns on the enemy's position, from this point of view, the enemy army should have abandoned all the baggage, the Chinese army we encountered in the past, even if it was a weapon that could not be taken away, would be smashed, but this time there was no damage at all, obviously I didn't want to waste any time." ”

When Kada Yong heard this, he immediately said murderously: "Now it seems that the Chinese army must be out of ammunition, only to blame that we were frightened by the enemy's powerful offensive before, and gave up the attack before the sky. Honda-kun, do you think we should catch up and avenge the dead warriors? ”

Honda Sajiro shook his head and said: "Killing a few more people has no impact on the current battle situation, the main thing now is to find out whether the Xiangfuguan has been taken back, what is the situation of the second brigade now, if the battle of Xiangfuguan is still fighting, we will rush to the war immediately." ”

As soon as Jia Tian Yong heard this, he immediately agreed: "What Honda Jun said is reasonable, it is true to hurry up and rush to the Xiangfu Temple, no matter what, you must take the Xiangfu Temple back, I don't know what the situation is now?" If the situation is unfavorable and the safety of Xiangfuguan is guaranteed, the 102nd Brigade can also retreat in time to establish a second line of defense. ”

Honda Sajiro nodded and said: "Yes, we have delayed too much time here, we must not waste any more time, since the army here can't resist escaping, the enemy army of Xiangfuguan is estimated to be at the limit, as long as we rush over, we can definitely recapture Xiangfuguan." ”

After analyzing the current situation, Kada Yong and Honda Sajiro did not dare to delay here, except for leaving a team here to clean up the battlefield and take care of the wounded, the other troops rushed towards Xiangfuguan in the dark.

Different from the battle of Gulouling, after dark, the battle not only did not stop but became more and more intense, especially the first battalion in the south, after withstanding several rounds of counterattacks by the Japanese troops left behind, at this moment under the command of Liu Wenfeng, Hu Zi, and Xiaoshan launched a counterattack, they were battalions step by step, echoing each other, encroaching on the positions of the Japanese army step by step, and compressing the space for the Japanese army's activities little by little.

The Japanese troops who stayed in Xiangfuguan were almost collapsed at this moment, and they had launched a stubborn counterattack under the command of Tsuda Tatsumori, even if they were not as strong as the regular infantry brigades, and their firepower was sharp, but their morale was strong and murderous, especially the soldiers of the machine gun squadron who had withdrawn, and they wanted to make up for their mistakes and prove themselves again.

However, the sudden death of Tsuda Tatsumori gave them a head start, and the presence of the army commander on the front line was the coexistence of danger and benefit, but this time Tsuda Tatsumori was really unfortunate and hit a stone all of a sudden.

After the death of the commander of the Japanese wing, the other officers and soldiers rushed into the defense line of the regimental headquarters and company as if they were crazy, and at that time a large group of the enemy army was killing from another side, and the whole Xiangfu Temple felt crumbling. However, the regimental headquarters company was too strong, especially their powerful firepower was vividly exerted in this kind of short-handed encounter, and the Japanese troops fell one by one, and the casualties were extremely amazing. Especially those staff officers who rushed to the forefront, they were all wiped out in the blink of an eye.

After losing a large number of soldiers and that sharp spirit, the regimental headquarters company and the first battalion immediately launched a counterattack, although their strength was not much, but in this situation the Japanese army actually fought almost no power to fight back, as long as a period of time, they have a great possibility to take all the auspicious charms, to complete the miraculous achievements they could not even imagine.

Especially Liu Wenfeng and Hu Zi, the two chief officials, they had made great contributions in Jinggangling before, and this time they won the auspicious charm view, the credit of this battle is really amazing, although they basically have no possibility of rising, but the glory in hand, how can they let go?
