The remnants of the Yamane Brigade chose to stand firm and wait for reinforcements, instead of jumping over the wall to attack the coalition's solid positions, which shows that the Japanese are also very smart;
Even with the heavy supplies at the foot of the mountain, they were still unable to capture the coalition's position. Now that the brigade headquarters had been wiped out, supplies were cut off, and the morale of the army was shaken, holding on and waiting for reinforcements was the best path they could choose.
Unlike the Central Army and the Jinsui Army, the Japs always provide assistance when requested. What's more, there are more than 400 Japs on the mountain. They will not sit back and watch them be annihilated by the Eighth Route Army!
Think about Guan Jianao in history. In order to rescue the hundreds of remaining soldiers of Okazaki Brigade who were surrounded by heavy siege, how much force did the Japanese use to rescue them?
Even if there is only one person left, the Japanese will not give up. If only one person is rescued, the army cannot be considered completely wiped out...
Zezhou's Hengye United Team had received a telegram from Tengtian asking for help, and they cursed angrily:
"Bagayalu, this bastard Shangen!"
It’s hard to scold any further. After all, the dead are the most important. If Major Yamane dies, he will die. It’s nothing more than adding a few more names to the shrine’s roster. But the remaining 400 warriors of the Yamane Brigade must be rescued, and at any cost. .
Now it is no longer something that Yokoye can solve alone. He must report to the headquarters and request tactical guidance. The supply of the Yamagen Brigade has been cut off by the Eighth Route Army. Without support, it will not be able to survive the arrival of reinforcements.
The Yokoye Regiment has three brigades, and the Yamagen Brigade is now surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. The most reinforcements he can send is one brigade, and one brigade must be left to defend Zezhou. The Imperial Association Army can only dedicate one battalion as a guide;
After sending a telegram requesting for tactical guidance to the headquarters, Yokono ordered the Koga Battalion to rush to the rescue of Qinglong Mountain, and the 1st Battalion of the Imperial Japanese Army Corps assisted.
First Army Headquarters
The message requesting help from the Yokoye Regiment made Xiao Zhuoyi Nan furious. It had just been the New Year and he was planning a new security war. Before he could take action, a brigade of the Imperial Army was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. How? Can you make him angry?
"Baga Yalu, has your intelligence department figured out which part of the Eighth Route Army it is?"
When such a big thing happens, the intelligence department needs to explain it. Encircling and annihilating a large group of the Imperial Army cannot be accomplished with a small amount of troops.
"Your Excellency General, according to Minami Hanako's report, this incident all started because of a group of bandits..."
Duanmu had long thought that the Commander would ask about this matter, so he understood the situation clearly in advance and reported it to the Commander in detail.
"Yoshi, this bastard Yokoye couldn't even wipe out a group of bandits with a field brigade. He also trapped his own brigade. The imperial soldiers were all disgraced by him... Bagaya Road"
Omit three hundred words here!
Xiao Zhuoyi's man was scolding Hengye, Duanmu pretended not to hear, it was better than scolding her.
"Miss Duanmu, what happened to the sudden appearance of the Eighth Route Army?
As far as I know, there is only one Eighth Route Army company active in the Heixing area. They do not have the strength to threaten the Shangen Brigade. Is it the 338th Regiment of the Jinsui Army? One of their battalions was also surrounded by the imperial army on the mountain. "
"Your Excellency General, this is not the 338th Regiment. Their regiment is being restrained by the Koga Brigade and cannot protect itself. We have intelligence that shows that the main force of the 338th Regiment is still in Hejia Town."
Duanmu's answer made Xiao Zhuoyi'an fall into deep thought. Now that the enemy's situation is unclear, the Yokoye Alliance is indeed unable to cope with it;
Now that the Koga Battalion has been dispatched to guard Hejia Town, the main force of the 338th Regiment has been relaxed. No one can guarantee whether they will send troops to ask for reinforcements in Qinglong Mountain. After all, there is one of his battalions there, and the 338th Regiment is a big variable... …
After thinking alone for a few minutes, Xiao Zhuoyinan finally made a decision. Reinforcement was like putting out fire, and the imperial army had to take action.
Xiao Zhuoyinan turned to Chief of Staff Major General Miyamoto and said:
"Miyamoto-kun, send planes to airdrop supplies to the Yamane Brigade and bomb the Qinglong Mountain; dispatch a nearby regiment to assist Zezhou, ask them to send a brigade to continue to maintain pressure on Hejia Town, and let the 338th Regiment stay in Hejia Town. town."
"Call back to Hengye. The Shangen Brigade must be rescued. The bandits in Qinglong Mountain, the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army must all be eliminated!"
"Director Duanmu, continue to collect intelligence, and we must find out as soon as possible which part of the Eighth Route Army surrounding Shangen Brigade is..."
As Xiao Zhuoyi Nan issued a series of orders, a series of battles surrounding Qinglong Mountain were about to begin, and the commotion became louder and louder.
Chu Xiong had stirred up a hornet's nest, but he didn't realize it at all. This was exactly what he needed, to get used to the Japs' attention.
Chu Xiong asked the second and third platoons of the first company to pretend to be the main force and continue to block the passage for the Japs to go down the mountain, under the unified command of the first company commander;
He himself led the second company, a platoon of the artillery company, and the Siberian Tiger Squad to move the captured materials and equipment to the mountains to hide them. This was the baggage of a brigade, including more than a dozen boxes of mortar shells alone. , dozens of boxes of grenades and bullets, and supplies such as grain and canned beef were enough for the first and second companies for more than half a month.
In addition, there are more than a dozen crooked machine guns, more than a hundred 300 guns, and a large amount of national weapons and ammunition. These should have been captured by the Japanese after ambushing Li Yuanzheng, and now they are all available to the independent regiment.
It took a whole morning just to carry these supplies!
The first company gave priority to replenishing a large amount of ammunition, and also added seven or eight more machine guns. On average, a squad had almost two machine guns. To pretend to be the main force, more guns and guns were needed to fool the Japanese.
After Chu Xiong hid the equipment, he left a squad to take care of it, and then took the main force of the Second Company to find a place to call for reinforcements. The "Siberian Tiger" team was responsible for detecting the situation of Japanese reinforcements.
The Japanese sent a large force to rescue, and they would definitely take the main road in Heixing. Coincidentally, Chu Xiong also chose Yelangyu as the ambush location. This place was really suitable for an ambush.
After Chu Xiong and others arrived at Yelangyu, he personally inspected the terrain. Although this place was dangerous, it could easily attract the attention of the Japs. After all, the Japs were not stupid!
"Dapeng, our ambush troops cannot be placed here. It looks like a pocket down there. The Japanese will definitely send troops to occupy this high ground before they pass through. Let's give this piece of land to them!"
After hearing this, Chu Dapeng asked very puzzledly:
"Captain, if we give up the ambush on this hillside, the Japanese will easily pass through the Yelang Valley. Beyond that is an open area, which is not suitable for an ambush. Are you planning to set up the ambush point at the entrance of the mountain?"
"Dapeng, who said I was going to put it at the mountain entrance? We can only block it at the mountain entrance. Just 200 of us can't stop the Japanese!"
"I am going to ambush the Japanese in the open area of Yelangyu for two reasons:
First, we brought a lot of explosives and "Wei Yixiao" cannons this time. We don't need to get too close, just set up the cannon on the mountain ridge a few hundred meters away;
Second, our goal is not to completely annihilate the Japanese reinforcements, but to give them a hard beating and then withdraw, or cripple them..."
Chu Dapeng finally understood. All he had to do was plant a few bombs on the road in the open area and send a few people to detonate them. This open area could not hide a large army, so it was not difficult to hide a few people;
After blowing up the Japs into chaos, let the flying thunder cannons come in to cover them...
"Ha ha……"
Thinking of the tragic situation after the Japanese bombing, the two bad guys from Chujiazhuang in Dabie Mountain couldn't help laughing.
It feels so good to be naughty!
