"Baga, Xiongchuan is ambushed after all, we have to rescue him."
The commander of the 150th Regiment, Kanazawa Huiichi, sent troops to rescue him when he heard Kumagawa's call for help.
I just didn't expect that at this time, the little devil Endo on the side stopped Kanazawa Hui and said: "Sir, I'm afraid the two squadrons of Xiongchuan are no longer here at this time."
"Nani?"
Kanazawa Huiyi was surprised.
At the same time, Endo took the walkie-talkie from the communication soldier's hand under the surprised gaze of Kanazawa Kaiichi and said: "Mr. Danwu, your Beijing accent is still so standard."
When the other party saw through Danwu, he stopped pretending. He smiled on the other side of the intercom and said, "You are Endo, right? You performed well. Do you want us to have a duel between men?"
Endo smirked and said, "Hahaha, we will have a chance, but not now."
Duanwu said: "No, I think we will meet soon."
Endo didn't believe it at all. With just the few men in Dragon Boat Festival, it was still possible to annihilate the two squadrons of the Kumagawa Battalion. It was a fool's errand to break through the defense lines of No. 7 and No. 6 positions and reach him.
Because there are still people on position 7, although there is only about a small group of imperial troops, it is definitely not that easy for Duanwu to attack.
He hung up the walkie-talkie arrogantly, and was about to order a squadron of Japanese soldiers to support Highland No. 7, but at this moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came...
boom! Boom boom!
Highland No. 1 and Highland No. 2 of the Japanese 150th Regiment were covered by artillery fire almost at the same time.
The violent explosion directly tore apart the front edges of the Japanese positions on the northeast side of Highland No. 1 and the northwest side of Highland No. 2.
The Japs' fortifications were broken, although the Japs braved artillery fire to repair the fortifications and redeploy the defenses.
But this was of no use. The Northeast Army dispatched an artillery regiment this time, with more than twenty 75mm mountain guns alone, and four large-caliber mortars among them.
A 150mm caliber mortar is enough to overturn everything on the top of a mountain.
The little devils were running around in the artillery fire, of course, not because they were crazy, because at this time, a large number of Northeastern troops had appeared at the foot of the mountains of the No. 1 and No. 2 positions.
The Northeastern Army launched an attack on the top of the mountain, and fought from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain under the cover of artillery fire. Then the two sides launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle.
Kanazawa Huiichi saw this scene clearly through the telescope. Perhaps he never dreamed that the 51st Army would come so quickly and with such a large number of people. It was estimated by visual inspection that there was about a regiment.
Of course, Kanazawa Huiichi would never have imagined that the Northeast Army would not only come with one regiment this time, but two infantry brigades plus an artillery regiment.
Some of them have not arrived yet, while others are laying an ambush near Yandang Mountain.
Therefore, if Dragon Boat Festival does not take action, it will be used. Once it takes action, it will kill the opponent with thunderous means.
At the same time, Kanazawa Huiyi also received signals from the Japanese in positions 1 and 2 asking for help.
However, the cunning Endo Japanese did not ask Kanazawa Huiichi to reinforce positions 1 and 2. Instead, he asked Kanazawa Huiichi to strengthen the defense of positions 3 and 4, and ordered artillery to attack positions 1 and 2. The position opened fire.
In other words, this fierce little devil wants to eliminate his own people and the enemy together on positions No. 1 and No. 2.
Kanazawa Huiyi did not have the kindness of a woman and directly ordered to do so.
Unfortunately, nearly one and a half infantry squadrons of Japs, including some artillerymen, in positions No. 1 and 2 were all killed.
Of course, nearly a company of the Northeast Army was also killed along with them, totaling about 110 people.
They fought with the enemy and were unable to withdraw from the battle, so they all died heroically on the Japanese positions.
Of course, this battle did not end, but it was just the beginning.
The Northeastern Army occupied the dilapidated position under Japanese artillery fire, quickly dug trenches, and launched an attack on the Japanese Army's No. 3 and No. 4 positions.
But this time, the Northeastern Army did not charge directly. Instead, they used the advantages of heavy machine guns and artillery fire to shell and fire at the Japanese troops in these two places.
The Japanese Army's No. 3 and No. 4 positions were under great pressure and quickly asked Kanazawa Huiichi for help. However, at this time, Kanazawa Huiichi was also in a state of distress. Because position No. 7 was also occupied by Duanwu, the adjacent position No. 6 was also experiencing fierce shelling.
"Baga, if this continues, we will be surrounded. Why haven't our reinforcements come yet?"
Kanazawa Huiichi finally became a little nervous, because if this continued, they would be surrounded in position 5, without even a chance to escape.
Of course, what he didn't know even more was that the 39th Regiment of the Japanese Tenth Division was supposed to arrive, but because the road was unfamiliar, they encountered a cliff and blocked their way.
The Japanese officer cursed and said that the people who drew the drawings were a bunch of stupid pigs. They didn't even know there was a cliff blocking the road.
But they also didn't know that it was not easy for the Japanese to draw maps. In addition, the terrain in the Yandang Mountain area was complex, and it was impossible for every enemy to visit.
What's more, who would have thought that the Imperial Japanese Army would go to the mountains to fight?
Therefore, on the maps of many locations, the Japanese spies just casually drew a few strokes according to the mountain topography. After all, not all Japanese soldiers completed their tasks seriously and responsibly.
As a result, the Japanese were blocked, and the plan to come for reinforcements would probably be delayed by more than an hour.
But it is obvious that Kanazawa Huiichi can't wait any longer. Three of his seven positions have fallen into the hands of the enemy at this time. If this continues, the consequences can be imagined. When the enemy occupies position three, four positions will be lost. Position No. 6, position No. 6, then they will all be surrounded by position No. 5 and unable to move.
So at this time, Kanazawa Huiichi seemed very anxious, pacing back and forth.
At the same time, Endo was also aware of the danger. He knew the combat capabilities of Dragon Boat Festival all too well. He annihilated the Sakata Regiment with less than 2,000 troops. Endo once asked himself, if with the same force, he would Can the Sakata Alliance be annihilated?
The answer is no, because he still hasn't thought about how Dragon Boat Festival did it.
So for the Dragon Boat Festival, he has always adopted a cautious fighting style.
It was the same in Lai'an County, and it was the same at this time, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to leave his men in Lai'an County as bait.
But even so, his plan was discovered by the cunning man.
His bait was tricked out of Lai'an County, and all the hostages were released.
It was really hard for Endo to imagine how long that Dragon Boat Festival's head was and why he was so smart?
Therefore, Endo felt that he might have made a mistake again this time. The pocket array he deployed could not stop the Chinese madman at all! ...
