The second line of defense gathered almost two squadrons of Japanese soldiers, and a large part of them were withdrawn from the third line of defense. They were under the unified command of the squadron leader, Captain Chiba Langki.
There are only these 300-odd people left in the Miura Battalion. They not only have to face the first battalion attacking from the bottom up, but also have to guard against the sword company attacking from the top of the mountain. They are truly attacked from both sides.
Since the fighting took place in the early morning, the Japanese planes could not come to support, and they did not even have foreign aid now.
Even if the main force of the 35th Division hears what's going on here and sends troops to support them, it will have to be at least after dawn. The first battalion's offensive is getting stronger and stronger, and it's hard to say whether they can hold out until dawn.
Squadron leader Suzuki Shohei suggested to Chiba Langki:
"Chiba-kun, this Chinese counterattack is definitely not just targeting Highland 918. They dug tunnels on the top of the mountain, and the Chinese who attacked the brigade headquarters came out of the tunnels;
There is a big conspiracy in this. We have to find a way to inform the division commander of the Chinese people's conspiracy. "
Captain Chiba nodded in agreement, but they did not have the division headquarters' contact password, and they could not contact the division headquarters even if they had a radio station.
He could only ask Captain Suzuki:
"Suzuki-kun, the Chinese attacks are becoming more and more fierce, and we are running out of time. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Qianye Jun, the Chinese people are cunning and cunning. They suddenly counterattacked on Highland 918 just to occupy Langyakou and cut off the imperial army's supply line;
They won't let us hold on until dawn. I suggest that we directly send a farewell message clearly and send a warning to the division and regiment headquarters and other imperial troops. As for how to make a decision, that is not our concern. "
Captain Chiba fell into deep thought. He had never thought of sending a farewell message. But once this message was sent, they would have no room for maneuver. They could only die in battle to thank the Emperor. There was no way out, not even if they were captured. Then It will bring disgrace to the family.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta..."
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The sound of gunfire outside is getting closer and closer. The Chinese may attack at any time. They will not be left with more than an hour. It is difficult to see the morning sun again!
The increasingly clear sound of gunfire from the 803rd Regiment finally helped Chiba make up his mind. He nodded cautiously to Captain Suzuki and said:
"Suzuki-kun, please send a farewell message! The Miura Battalion will defend the dignity of the Imperial Army with their lives. Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
After Suzuki heard this, he leaned his legs together, nodded heavily, and said loudly:
"I would like to serve His Majesty the Emperor. See you at Yasukuni Ghost Shrine!"
"Suzuki-kun, please, see you at Yasukuni Ghost Club!"
A few minutes later, a radio wave passed through the moonlit night, and the clear code was sent to the 35th Division, and other divisions could also receive it.
Less than an hour after the message was sent, Sun Lei, covered in blood, rushed in with his ghost sword. The ghost-headed sword gave off a frightening cold light in the moonlight, like a seducer from hell.
"idiot!"
A Japanese guard stabbed Sun Lei with his bayonet. When Sun Lei lifted the thick back of his broadsword, the Japanese bayonet was pulled away;
The ghost head waved, a cold light flashed, and a big dog head rolled to the ground.
What a beautiful knife-throwing style, the special knife method used by the broadsword team to break the bayonet. It is efficient, fast and has no tricks.
"Hey!"
Captain Chiba took a deep breath and said secretly:
"Is this the legendary magic sword skill? I only heard it mentioned by my seniors before."
Captain Chiba didn't take it seriously before, thinking it was just an exaggeration. He was also an expert in swordsmanship and an outer disciple of the Itto-ryu.
In his opinion, Chinese swordsmanship is all just showy, and he is powerless in the face of Yamato's one-sword style. After seeing the situation today, the expression on his face became solemn...
He slowly pulled out his ancestral sword, and threw the delicate scabbard away casually. He grasped the handle of the sword tightly with both hands, and assumed the standard stance of a sword. His eyes flashed brightly, and he looked like he was an expert in using swords.
Sun Lei raised his fingers at him disdainfully, then raised his thumbs up and leaned down, his contempt was self-evident.
"Bagaya road!"
Chiba was so angry that smoke came out of his nose, and the sword in his hand struck down like lightning——
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Bagayalu, so despicable——"
From the look in Sun Lei's eyes that was about to get angry, Er Zhuangzi suddenly realized that he seemed to be doing a disservice, so he had to smile and said to Sun Lei:
"Leader, I'm sorry! This Japanese swordsman looks very powerful. I was afraid that your son couldn't beat him, so I gave him a shot. This military achievement is yours!"
Sun Lei was very angry and speechless, and said angrily:
"Stop being a dick, I, a company commander, need to steal your military honors? Is it from the Sharp Knife Company?"
"Report to the company commander, the sergeant squad leader of the sharp knife company has two shots!"
Sun Lei put away his sword and said to the second pole:
"Okay, stop these fools and clean up the battlefield!"
Sun Lei finally met an expert who knew how to use a knife. He originally wanted to have fun with the Japanese, but he was hit by a sharp knife, and his beloved toy was blown into a bloody hole with just one stroke, and he was still playing with it.
Erzhanzi didn't feel any guilt at all. He walked directly to Captain Chiba's body and casually picked up the tachi he had dropped on the ground;
Although he was not very knowledgeable, he could still tell that it was a good knife.
Since the company commander of the brother army was arrogant, he was not polite. After finding the scabbard on the ground, he put the sword into the scabbard. It turned out to be a good Japanese sword.
"You damn Japs, this knife is not bad. It's a pity that our 78th Army has to return it to the public if it is seized. Otherwise, it would be okay to leave it as a toy for my future son."
Green smoke came out of Qianye's nose again, that was the ancestral sword of his Qianye family!
The Chinese people are so bullying, why don't they let people be reincarnated as pigs?
When a red sun rose from the top of the mountain, the battle on Highland 918 had subsided;
After a night of fierce fighting, Highland 918 and Highland 775 were once again under the control of the 78th Army.
The 803 regiment fought very well in this battle. The sharp knife company and the big knife company were praised by the whole army. The second pole was promoted to the platoon leader of the sharp knife company for his merit.
In this battle, a reinforced brigade of the 35th Division was annihilated, and 1,185 people under Major Miura were killed. The 803rd Regiment suffered 252 casualties, including 22 casualties from the Broadsword Company and 75 casualties from the Sharp Sword Company.
More than 600 long and short guns, a total of 9 mortars and infantry guns, and no ammunition or supplies were seized.
After the 803 regiment captured Highland 918, it cut off the supply line of the Japanese East Route Army. The commander of the East Route Army, the commander of the 35th Division, was furious after receiving a clear farewell message from Captain Chiba and cursed:
"Bagayalu, this bastard Miura, a reinforced brigade can't even defend a single mountain. He lost his position in just one night. The Imperial Army has been completely embarrassed by him!"
Lieutenant General Tanaka Kuichi, commander of the 21st Division, said to Lieutenant General Harada of the 35th Division:
"Harada-kun, Major Miura and the others have tried their best. The Chinese are cunning and cunning. Miura and the others did not expect that the Chinese had a back-up plan and hid their troops in tunnels. Just like rats, this tactic must attract the attention of the Imperial Army.
Zhao Sihu of the 78th Army is a famous Chinese general, cunning and cunning. Highland 918 is the lifeblood of the Eastern Route Army's logistics support. It cannot be controlled by the Chinese. We must send powerful troops to open the supply line as soon as possible! "
