"Retreat, quickly! Quickly!"
Kanazawa Huiichi finally issued the order to retreat. If the Japs were amnesty, the Japs officers of each department only left a small number of Japs to contain the attacking enemy troops, and then retreated from positions three, four, and five one after another.
The trucks brought by the Japanese were all between the two mountains of position 3 and position 5.
The location here is very safe. As long as Highlands 3 and 5 are not occupied by the enemy, their trucks will be safe.
Therefore, the Japanese's retreat was considered smooth. Blocked by positions No. 3 and No. 5, and covered by position No. 4, Kanazawa Kaiichi and Endo trotted down the mountain and got on the truck first.
The other Japs also threw the ammunition they carried into the truck, and then some jumped on the truck, while others simply ran with the truck and drove eastward from the mountain road between the two mountains.
There is a north-south highway one kilometer away from Highland No. 3 and Highland No. 5. If they get on the highway and continue walking south, they will be able to escape temporarily and join the Japanese 39th Regiment.
And when the two armies join forces at that time, they can still fight back.
Kanazawa Huiichi believes that this failure was completely due to their lack of expectations.
First, he did not expect that the 51st Army would dare to come out from the Bengbu defense line, and suddenly rush out from behind them when their attention was focused on Dragon Boat Festival.
Highland No. 1 and Highland No. 2 fell one after another, leaving them very passive.
Secondly, it was Xiong Chuan's recklessness that caused them to lose Highland No. 7. Once Highland No. 7 is lost, their situation will become even worse, because Dragon Boat Festival can directly threaten the safety of Highland No. 5.
Of course, the root cause of this great defeat was that the Empire's planes blew up Highland 6, causing Highland 6 to fall.
So far, four of the seven highlands in the Yandang Mountain area have fallen, and the Japanese have only three highlands left. And at this most critical moment, the Japanese 39th Regiment had to take a detour again and could not arrive on time.
So when all the unfavorable factors came together, the Japanese 150th Regiment had to withdraw.
Kanazawa Huiichi could only escape in panic after losing half of his troops.
But at this time, Danwu could not let Kanazawa Huiyi go so easily.
He spent so much effort and mobilized two infantry brigades of the Northeast Army in order to completely wipe out the Japanese 150th Regiment.
Dragon Boat Festival stood on the high ground, waiting to see the performance of the 51st Army.
The 51st Army consists of two infantry brigades, with a total of more than 10,000 people together with the artillery regiment.
Except for one regiment that cooperated with the artillery regiment to seize the No. 1 and No. 2 Highlands and launch an attack on the No. 3 and No. 4 Highlands, almost all the remaining people were ambushing on the only way for the Japanese to retreat.
The dense jungle is full of people at this time. They are like hunters lurking in the jungle, waiting for their prey to come to their door.
At the same time, Kanazawa Kaiichi and Endo were celebrating their survival in the car. Although the 150th Regiment suffered heavy losses, under such unfavorable circumstances, they managed to escape unharmed, which is something to be thankful for in itself.
Endo sneered and said: "Perhaps that Dragon Boat Festival never dreamed that we would be so decisive, right? I'm afraid that we have already jumped out of his encirclement before his next plan can be implemented."
Kanazawa Kaiichi also echoed: "Yes, if we give him enough time, I'm afraid he will set an ambush on the only way we can pass. Of course, thank you Endo-kun for your reminder. Hahaha!"
Endo quickly said: "Where, where. But Kanazawa-kun reminded me that if I were to lead this battle, I would definitely set up an ambush on this road in advance, even if it is a small force. can play a vital role.”
Kanazawa Kaiichi laughed and said: "Hahaha, it's a pity that the Dragon Boat Festival didn't have Endo-kun's foresight."
"Hahaha! It seems that the Dragon Boat Festival is nothing more than that!..."
boom! Boom! ...
Just when Endo and Kanazawa Kaiichi were feeling proud, a violent explosion suddenly came from the convoy ahead, and several Japanese trucks caught fire one after another and stopped.
The Northeastern Army took action. They used mortars and grenade launchers to attack the Japanese convoy. The first few trucks to be blown up were the trucks at the front of the entire convoy.
The truck was bombed and stopped blocking the road, while the Japanese, covered in fire, rolled and fell from the truck.
The car's fuel tank was ignited in the explosion, and the violent flames directly swallowed the Japanese on the truck.
In the fierce fire, the Japs' clothes were ignited, and the blazing heat burned every inch of the Japs' skin.
The Japanese's skin cracked and his blood vessels burst, and he suffocated to death in the thick smoke and burned-out air.
Every prisoner's death is very painful, but this is the final destination of each of them.
Chuchuchu! Chuchuchu! ...
boom! boom! ...
Just after the Japs' vehicle at the front was forced to stop, the Northeastern Army launched a full-scale shooting, with various machine guns, heavy machine guns, rifles, pistols, etc., all aimed at the Sandao Japs.
The remaining troops of the two infantry brigades of the Northeast Army, except for one regiment with nearly 4,000 men, are all here. Although most of them are rifles, the amount of ammunition that can be exploded in an instant is enough to devour everything.
The Japanese in the car and those running on the road were shot one after another, and the entire road was instantly stained with red blood.
The surviving Japanese jumped off the roadbed and launched a counterattack, but this counterattack was weak.
The little Japs had less than 2,000 surviving troops after the previous battle, because there were still more than 300 Japs guarding the No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 heights, fighting for the escape of Kanazawa Huiichi and others. time.
Therefore, only less than 2,000 Japanese soldiers could escape from the Yandang Mountain position. However, under the sudden attack of the Northeast Army, most of them were killed and wounded in an instant, and only more than 500 people survived.
Kanazawa Kaiichi was also shot and was pulled out of the car by Endo.
At this time, Kanazawa gasped for air, because he was shot in the chest, and the 7.92mm bullet directly penetrated his lungs.
Thanks to the car's blocking, the penetrating power of the bullet was weakened. Otherwise, this bullet would have killed Kanazawa Kaiichi on the spot.
The bullets of the 79 rifle are not the 38 type rifle bullets of the little devils. They will make a hole when they are hit. A 7.92 mm bullet can directly blow a big hole in a person's chest.
But even so, Kanazawa Huiichi was seriously injured.
He grabbed Endo's hand and said with trembling lips: "Endo-kun, Endo-kun, our enemies are so cunning. There are so many people ambushed here. I, I, I may not be able to go back. You, please help me, send the things in my dormitory back to my country and give them to my family, my family...please, please..."
Kanze Huiyi said that he would not rest in peace, because he originally planned to make enough money in China and return to his country to enjoy his old age, but unexpectedly, the battle at Yandang Mountain directly cost him his life! ...
