Chapter 642: Can't Chase!

In the direction of Minshan Daya, the devil's officer Nakasa was waiting for reinforcements to launch a counterattack together after capturing Niujin Mountain and the North Pole Peak.

"Your Excellency, why didn't the squadron attack?"

The gunfire in the direction of Minshan Mansion had stopped for a long time, Luo Xianda did not organize an attack, under the order of Ye Peigao, he was waiting for the artillery support of the mountain artillery battalion and the heavy mortar company.

"The squadron is now busy dealing with attacks in the direction of Niujin Mountain and the North Pole Peak, and their artillery fire is not so rich."

Captain Nakasa was not worried at all, the sound of the shelling of the Imperial infantry artillery was still echoing in his ears just now, and now it should be the Imperial infantry attacking.

"Do we want to fight back and cooperate with the attack on the North Pole Peak and the first line of Niujin Mountain?"

The devil counselor asked.

"The Chinese troops who are confronting us have not reduced their strength, and they are also waiting for our support, so they will launch an attack and order the troops to hold the defensive line, and there is no need to worry about the direction of Niujin Mountain."

Captain Nakasa shook his head and rejected the staff officer's suggestion, and his main task was to hold the Minshan Mansion and cover the 6th Brigade as it advanced eastward.

"Hit hard, let the brother shout, but don't rush"

Feng Ye shouted, telling the brothers to fire at full speed.

"Rush"

"Kill"

"Bang, bang, bang"

"Da Da Da"

In the earth-shattering shouts, rifles, machine guns, grenadiers and mortars were simultaneously beckoning towards the Devils' defensive line, and the Devils infantry kept falling to the ground, and now their heavy machine guns and light machine guns had become graves, and once they fired, they would soon attract mortar and grenadier fire.

"Order the troops to prepare for retreat, the alert squadron and the second squadron to hold the line, for the baggage troops time."

"Generating electricity to Minshan Mansion explains our situation."

The devil officer held his forehead in pain, he didn't expect that he would come violently, and he would have to withdraw after staying for a few hours.

"Regiment leader, you can't attack it, the devil's firepower is too strong."

In the face of the devil's defensive line, the troops who counterattacked from Niujin Mountain and the North Pole Peak could not attack at all, they only had a few mortars, and they did not even bring heavy machine guns; And the devils have a lot of machine gun firepower, and the grenadiers are also firing grenades from time to time, and after they retreat, the superiority in strength is reflected.

"Give labor and management a beating, just spend it with them, don't let them turn around and beat Feng Yicheng."

Long Zuocai shouted, ordering the brothers to find cover on the spot and open fire.

"Bang, bang, bang"

"Da Da Da"

North of the North Pole Peak, gunfire rang out, and the squadron launched an attack from two directions like devils, and the devil support troops who came in a hurry did not build cover, they were completely desperate for their lives to delay time, and they had no intention of counterattacking.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw"

Half an hour later, the devil's infantry cannon and baggage were finally put on horseback, and the large number of pack horses carried by the devil gave them the ability to quickly transfer heavy equipment.

"Retreat, retreat"

The devil's sappers were also busy, busy planting a large amount of explosives in the camp, which was used by the troops after the break.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw"

The troops after the devil broke off hurriedly got up, took the wounded soldiers, and chased the ass of the retreating troops.

"Commander, the devil ran away, can't chase it"

One of the brothers pointed to the other side, and he saw a large number of devils retreating north.

"Chase a fart, don't chase"

Long Zuocai said angrily, the troops of the Eighteenth Army have not arrived until now, and there are only the Eleventh Division and the Sichuan Army on this line, if the devils stay and die, they will not be so easy to attack.

"Battalion commander, chase or not"

Similarly, Zhang Chuan and Chen Hua were also asking Feng Yi.

"Don't chase, let the artillery stop the shelling, save some shells."

Feng Yi shook his head, and in his sight, even the broken devils had already retreated.

"Boom, boom, boom"

A series of explosions rang out from the camp of the devils, who, under the cover of the sand and dust brought by the explosions, chased the retreating troops.

"Whew"

The soldiers who wanted to pursue in vain glanced at each other, felt the tremor of the earth, and then looked at Feng Yi and Long Zuocai, they felt very lucky, if they had just blindly pursued, they would have suffered in the explosion area, and the pursuing troops would have suffered very heavy casualties.

"Clean up the battlefield and retreat."

Feng Yi and Long Zuocai issued an order at the same time, but Feng Yi did not rush into the camp of the devils, he asked the brothers to clean up the battlefield in the field, and after collecting the seizures from the devils, a dozen brothers dug a big pit, threw all the devils into the pit, filled with soil, and then returned to the standby position.

"Deputy Division Commander Ye, the devils who attacked Niujin Mountain and the Arctic Peak, under the combined counterattack of Feng Yi and Long Zuocai, have already retreated."

A staff officer put down the phone and wanted Ye Peigao to report the situation.

"Is the artillery in place?"

Ye Peigao looked at the time, an hour had passed, but no one reported the situation.

"It's already in place, ready to start shelling."

A staff officer put down the phone and reported loudly.

"Order heavy mortars and mountain artillery, give me full speed shelling, the devils in the Minshan Mansion don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they haven't withdrawn for so long, let them see and see how powerful."

Ye Peigao gave the order viciously.

"Yes"

The combat staff officer received the order and turned and ran to the telephone.

"Yaga they retreated"

Minshan House, Captain Nakasa of the devil looked at the telegram in his hand, and couldn't believe it, why did the reinforcements who had just arrived retreated, so didn't he become a lone soldier

"Prepare the anti-artillery, we have enough time to warn the wing."

Captain Nakasa waved his hand, signaling that he knew, but he still couldn't retreat unless he had permission from the brigade commander, Maruyama Masanami.

"Send a report to the brigade commander that after the fall of the North Pole Peak and Niujin Mountain, the reinforcements attacked ineffectively, and now they have retreated; Our unit continues to hold on to Minshan Dawu and is now facing the attack of China's elite 11th Division and the 72nd and 18th armies; Ask the brigade commander to instruct the strategy of the operation. ”

Captain Nakasa said the message word by word, and asked the communication corps to send it immediately.

"Order Feng Yi's reserve to immediately prepare to attack Minshan House, and after the artillery bombardment is over, cooperate with the 62nd Regiment to attack immediately, and be sure to take the Japanese position."

Zhushan Temporary Division Headquarters, Ye Peigao thought about it, and still felt that the troops attacking Minshan Mansion were a bit small, so he decided to let Feng Yi lead the reserve reinforcements and take down Minshan Mansion as soon as possible, so as to move forward as soon as possible.

At this time, the Maruyama detachment, mainly the 6th Brigade, was frantically attacking the position of the 51st Division in Huimaling, and under the cover of aircraft and artillery, it launched a tidal wave attack on the position of the 51st Division.

"Brigade commander, Minshan Daya telegram."

A devil officer holds a telegram and reports to Maruyama Masao.

"What's the matter, a brigade, can't you still hold our back road?"

Maruyama asked.

The staff officer did not speak, but handed the telegram to Maruyama Masao.
