At the foot of Qinglong Mountain, the Shangen Brigade has surrounded the front of Qinglong Mountain, and there is a cliff behind it, which means that the bandits and the Jinsui Army on the mountain have no way to escape.
The Japs didn't know that the mountain had changed its owner. Half a month ago, they were tricked by the bandits on the mountain and lost a squadron. The Japs, who always hold grudges, must eradicate the bandits in Qinglong Mountain.
Colonel Yokono adopted Minami Hanako's suggestion and withdrew troops from Hejia Town, successfully inducing the 338th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army to send troops to encircle and suppress Qinglong Mountain, and the two sides fought a battle;
I don’t know what happened. The two sides fought for only one day and ended. The Jinsui Army also withdrew early, causing the enemy’s pockets to be tied up. The encirclement and annihilation battle turned into a rout, allowing the Jinsui Army to escape hundreds of people. .
"Miss Hanako, are you sure there is no other way out of the mountain?"
"Shangen-kun, some people may be able to escape using ropes on the cliff at the back of the mountain. It is impossible for troops with more than a dozen people to escape. There are more than 1,000 bandits and hundreds of Jinsui troops on the mountain, and now they have become Wengzhong But Qinglong Mountain has only one way up the mountain, so it’s not easy to fight!”
Yamane nodded with satisfaction. There was only one way to go. Minami Hanako had already sketched the topography of the mountain for him. If he still couldn't defeat it, he could have a caesarean section.
"Miss Hanako, thank you for your intelligence support. A large group of imperial troops can wipe out a mob of more than a thousand people, which is to catch a turtle in a urn!"
"Yoshi, Yamane-kun, Hanako has never doubted the bravery of the imperial army. A field brigade can deal with a group of rabble without any suspense. I will leave this to you. I will go back and report to the captain."
Major Yamane didn't want someone from the intelligence department to dictate to him. He already knew the information he needed to know, and the rest was up to the warriors of the Imperial Army.
After Hanako Minami handed over the information, she left. She really didn't have anything to do here. She had more important things to do.
After Yamane Goro waited for Hanako Minami, the female spy who made him feel uncomfortable, to leave, he began to prepare his horse and artillery to attack the mountain.
The Yamane Brigade is a standard field brigade, and its firepower configuration is not comparable to that of a squadron. This time, the commander of the regiment also strengthened an artillery squadron for him, with 2 Type 92 infantry cannons and 6 Type 99 81mm mortars. Coupled with the large number of grenades he owns, his firepower is very powerful, and he is very confident in taking down the small Qinglong Mountain.
"Boom boom boom!"
The Japanese began to attack the mountain. With the intelligence support of Nanzo Hanako, the Japanese bombardment was very targeted. Six mortars blasted against the top of the chessboard one kilometer away;
There is a team of Chen Hao and a platoon of the 338th Regiment on the top of the chessboard. The total number of people is more than 80. There are too many people to move around. This is destined to become a fueling tactic. Yan Haoyu needs to use the strong fortifications on the top of the chessboard. Sharpen the devil's spirit well.
The Type 99 81mm mortar is indeed very powerful. Fortunately, a hole for hiding soldiers was built on the side slope of the mountain, and the main force stayed on the reverse slope a few hundred meters away.
Therefore, the Japanese bombardment seems lively, but the casualties caused to the defending side are indeed limited. There are only a few observation posts in the main trench. How many people can be hit by the bombardment?
If one is exploded, it will be a blind cat and a dead mouse!
Yan Haoyu had already reported to the regiment headquarters via telegram that Qinglong Mountain was attacked by Japs. Chu Xiong only responded with one sentence:
"Delay the Japs for three days. When the time is right, put the Japs on the mountain and hold on to the main position of Qinglong Village!"
"Battle Commander Yan, what does Commander Chu mean? Didn't he send reinforcements?"
Li Yuanzheng asked anxiously.
"Captain Li, don't worry. Reinforcements are definitely on the way. If you dare to let them come up, our regiment commander will be sure to deal with them. This time we have to beat the devils hard!"
Li Yuanzheng was relieved after hearing what Yan Haoyu said. Li Yuanzheng also sent a telegram to the 338th Regiment to request support. The reply he received was that Hejia Town was also attacked by the Japanese and could not protect himself;
Let them cooperate with the Eighth Route Army guerrilla brigade to defend Qinglong Mountain. Chu Xiong will not leave his base alone.
After more than ten minutes of preparations for the Japanese artillery fire, the Japanese infantry's tentative attack began...
The Hoshino team is responsible for the exploratory attack on the top position of the chessboard. This is almost a standard tactic of the Japanese;
First use a small team of Japs to test out the opponent's firepower points and machine gun positions, then use infantry artillery or field artillery to clear them out in a targeted manner, and then continue to charge with infantry until the opponent is defeated.
What the Chinese army knows is that it cannot be broken because the firepower is too weak!
Hoshino Jiro held a mass-market command knife in one hand and a Nanbu pistol in the other. He bent at the waist and constantly directed the troops to advance forward. He himself was ready to lie down at any time;
No matter how crazy he was about the exploratory attack, he would not dare to think that he could capture the bandit's position with just a small team. To him, survival was victory.
The other Japs are not stupid either. They all hunker down and rush towards each other while taking cover...
After the artillery preparations were completed, Chen Hao and others entered the main trench through the communication trench. Seventy or eighty people defended the 100-meter front, which was completely enough, and even a little more;
It's just that it's only been half a month since they were reorganized from the bandits, and the training hasn't caught up yet, so they focus on ideological transformation.
It is already the limit for one person to defend a front of more than 1 meter. However, the platoon of the 338th Regiment, most of which are veterans, has better tactical literacy than Chen Hao's team.
Regarding the Japanese's tentative attack, Chen Hao did not intend to be too easy on the Japanese, otherwise he would not fight, or he would have to hit the Japanese to hurt him!
"Comrades, don't panic, get closer and then shoot, listen to the sound of my gun!"
The more Hoshino Jiro rushed forward, the more unsure he became. These bandits were too stable!
After entering a few dozen meters, he subconsciously slowed down and let other warriors rush in front of him. He gradually fell to the third echelon...
This is the old devil's way to save his life. If you die as a Taoist friend, you will not die as a poor Taoist!
Sure enough, there was a gunshot——
Hoshino quickly lay down on the ground. Almost at the moment he lay down, gunshots sounded like fried beans, and a large number of the warriors in front fell;
"Bagaya Road, three machine guns!"
The lying Japanese, as long as they were not dead, began to fire at the top of the chessboard with their guns. It didn't matter whether they were hit or not, the main thing was to strengthen their courage!
When Chen Hao saw the Japanese lying down and shooting at him, he shouted loudly:
"Grenade! Kill the dog!"
A minute later, dozens of long-handled grenades or melon grenades were thrown down, condescendingly, and easily thrown 50 meters away...
"Boom boom boom!"
Dozens of grenades exploded, instantly killing and injuring more than a dozen Japanese soldiers. The Hoshino team suffered a big loss this time;
Then another round...
The Japanese couldn't stand it anymore and retreated downhill, leaving behind more than 30 corpses or wounded people. Only a dozen of them escaped back. Such a tentative attack was too costly.
"withdraw!"
As soon as Chen Hao saw the Japanese retreating, he immediately gave the order to retreat, and the large troops retreated into the artillery caves...
"Boom boom boom!"
The enemy's artillery fire is coming again
