Before Yu Chenglong and his brothers returned to the position, they heard that Deputy Commander Zhang and his brothers were fighting with Wang Zhankui's defeated team on the position. It turned out that Wang Zhankui wanted to pass through this mountain to join the Jaap team, but he did not expect that there were defenders on the mountain, so the two sides accidentally exchanged fire.
Yu Chenglong ordered the brothers around him to rush over immediately and quickly defeated Wang Zhankui. Seeing that someone was blocking the attack, Wang Zhankui did not dare to attack the mountain rashly again. He stopped at the foot of the mountain for a while, then led the team to take a detour and ran towards the outside of the mountain.
At this time, the Japanese army began to attack the mountain again, focusing on Yingzui Cliff. Although the Japs on Yu Chenglong's side also attacked very fiercely, their intention was to prevent them from going down the mountain to join Yingzui Cliff.
This time they were all little Japs, and their combat effectiveness was still very strong. However, due to the lack of artillery support and insufficient soldiers, both sides had been fighting for almost a day and were very tired. They attacked twice but failed to succeed.
Since the team on the mountain did not want to go down the mountain to join the defenders on Yingzui Cliff, the Japs' attack was not very fierce. The two sides remained in a stalemate until it was almost dark, and the Japs actually withdrew from the battle on their own initiative.
As the sky gradually darkened, Yu Chenglong ordered two brothers to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of the Japanese withdrawal, and ordered another person to report to Commander Xiao, saying that he would lead the brothers to take action in half an hour and asked Commander Xiao to cooperate.
At this time, there were no gunshots coming from the direction of Yingzui Cliff. It was estimated that the Japs might have withdrawn from the battle across the board. Yu Chenglong counted the number of people again, gathered more than fifty brothers who were still able to attack, and had a meal and rest.
"Commander, let me take my brothers this time. You are all injured. Stay here and guard with your brothers. I can complete the mission!"
Deputy Commander Zhang Daoxian made a request, and Yu Chenglong smiled and nodded, asking him to eat quickly and prepare to set off. But Yu Chenglong didn't let him direct alone, but wanted to go with him.
"No, let's both go this time. Let the injured Battalion Commander Fang and his brothers stay here. I will only scratch my skin and won't be in the way at all."
"I'm going to go too, this little injury won't be a problem at all."
Battalion Commander Fang didn't want to stay here, and his injuries weren't serious. At such a critical moment, he didn't want to get out of the battle. But Yu Chenglong didn't want him to go with him. Even if Battalion Commander Fang was not seriously injured, someone still needed to stay here.
"Obey the order! Take care of the injured brothers, and evacuate the seriously injured brothers to a safe place and take care of them."
Yu Chenglong's attitude was very serious, and Battalion Commander Fang stopped saying anything. About half an hour later, before the brothers sent out to investigate came back, Yu Chenglong organized his team and started to set off.
Not half an hour after we walked out, the brother who was sent out to investigate the situation came back panting and reported that the Japanese had not withdrawn, but had retreated less than ten miles and stopped to rest.
Now all the little Japs are gathered on a hillside, stopping to camp and rest. The Japs are eating right now, but they don’t know what their next move is? It is estimated that they will not attack again tonight.
Yu Chenglong asked someone to pass the prepared dry food to the brother who was investigating, and ordered him to lead the way while eating, not too fast. The purpose was to lead the team to sneak over quietly and prevent the little Japs from discovering it prematurely.
From a distance, I could see the light of fire on the hillside, and there were also figures shaking. Yu Chenglong lay down and observed the terrain for a while, then led people along the ditch and pond to a small mountain col, and waved his hands for the brothers to lurk.
"After a while, the Japs have calmed down, and we will rush over. Deputy Commander Zhang, you lead half of the men, and I will lead the other half, and rush straight up to the opposite side. When we reach the mountainside, we will quietly approach the Japs.
The closer the distance, the better. Then use machine guns and grenades to give me a hard hit, and the firepower must be concentrated. When the Japanese attack, we will retreat here. Remember, you must avoid the Japs’ sentries and move forward covertly so that the Japs cannot discover it prematurely. "
Yu Chenglong told Deputy Commander Zhang to divide the team into two, and each of them would take half of their brothers to attack from the middle of the Jaap camp.
"Okay then, I'll be on the left and you on the right. The two teams will advance in parallel and covertly, ten or twenty feet apart. Whoever reaches the target first will be the first to attack."
Deputy Commander Zhang expressed his agreement with Yu Chenglong's arrangement, and then went back to make arrangements. The arrangements were quickly completed. When he returned, he lay down with Yu Chenglong again, waiting for Yu Chenglong to issue orders.
Yu Chenglong estimated the time and watched the little devil's camp gradually become calmer. Then he waved his hand and said, "Come on!" 'The two teams got up and started taking action.
Yu Chenglong led his men to cautiously approach the Japs camp. They could already clearly see the Japs resting on the hillside. Everything was within range. Yu Chenglong had his men stop first and signaled everyone to prepare for battle.
The enemy sentry seemed to have discovered the target, shouted and raised his gun to shoot. It seemed that the little devils were still very vigilant and would shoot when they found someone. This showed that they were also on guard against being attacked at night.
At the same time, Deputy Commander Zhang's machine guns also fired, and grenades exploded in the enemy group. Yu Chenglong waved his hand and led his brothers to jump up, firing machine guns and grenades at the Japanese.
Under this fierce firepower, it took the little devil a long time to react, and the gunshots also fired. The two sides fired at each other for a while, and the Japanese began to fight back. Yu Chenglong led his men to retreat while fighting.
Arriving at the mountain col, the two teams reunited and jointly blocked the enemy from cover. At this time, gunshots also rang out from the other two directions, forcing the Japanese to regroup and retreat defensively.
Yu Chenglong knew that it was Commander Xiao who brought people for reinforcements, so he ordered his team to rush forward and fired at the Japanese at close range for a while. Seeing that the Japanese started to fight back again, Yu Chenglong retreated while fighting.
This was repeated twice, which made the little devils angry. They concentrated all their troops ferociously and counterattacked frantically from three directions. The gunfire became more intense.
"Hurry back to the mountain col to stop the attack and fight hard. The little devil is preparing to escape!"
Yu Chenglong shouted to his brothers, stood up and raised his machine gun to shoot at the Japanese soldiers who were rushing towards them. The purpose was to prevent the Japanese soldiers from getting closer, and also to attract the Japanese soldiers to attack in his direction, creating opportunities for the team led by Commander Xiao.
The two sides still exchanged fierce shots, but neither launched another charge. Sure enough, after a while, the gunfire of the Japs became sparse, and they retreated along the gaps left in three directions.
When Yu Chenglong saw that the Japanese soldiers had withdrawn, he did not pursue them. Instead, he sent two brothers to follow the Japanese soldiers to observe their whereabouts, and then led the team to withdraw to their original defensive position.
