Captain Shimogawa Shigeya saw the nine planes coming to bomb, and four of them were beaten down in the blink of an eye. He was so angry that he jumped to his feet and cursed:
"Baga! These pilots are useless!"
He immediately called the telegraph operator to send a message to the commander of the regiment, Colonel Masato Nara:
"The combat effectiveness of the pilots of the aviation formation is extremely poor. Nine bombers bombed the artillery positions on Tubal Road, but Tubal Road destroyed 4 of them with heavy machine guns. It is simply unbelievable!"
After the aviation soldier finished complaining to his superiors, Shimokawa Seiya saw that the artillery fire on the enemy positions on both sides was gone, especially the third company position. Since the three bombers were still firing with machine guns, even the gunfire stopped now. , I am still somewhat satisfied.
Seeing that Captain Keita Takeda he sent out was struggling to climb the mountain with more than a hundred locust army warriors, he couldn't help but feel proud and smile.
He shouted quickly:
"Everyone, cheer up, we will win soon, and the heads of Tubal Road will achieve our glory!
His Majesty the Locust is on board! "
As he shouted, the little devils hiding behind various bunkers couldn't help shouting too.
"His Majesty the Locust is on board!"
"His Majesty the Locust is onboard!"
…
Suddenly, the little devil's morale was through the roof.
…
On the third company position, the soldiers were hiding in the artillery caves. When they heard the chirping cheers of the little devils at the bottom of the mountain, they couldn't help but mutter:
"What are you shouting about, little devil?"
"Who knows? Maybe my biological father is dead!"
A soldier next to him answered.
Another soldier cursed:
"This stupid iron bird still won't leave. It's really uncomfortable for us to hide in this cave!"
While they were talking, they suddenly heard the voice of company commander Li Dahe:
"Comrades, come out quickly, the little devil is coming!"
As soon as they heard this, the soldiers immediately ran out of the bomb hole, ignoring the heavy machine guns of the Japs' planes that were still firing, and started shooting at the Japs who climbed up the mountain.
The gunshots of "Pah Gou, Pah Gou" rang out.
The little Japanese planes in the sky saw the advantage and started shooting with machine guns even more cheerfully.
Many soldiers were killed by machine guns, which made Li Dahe and Wang Quanfa grit their teeth.
Wang Quanfa quickly said:
"Company Commander, there aren't many of these little Japs. Let's just put them up so that their planes can't shoot at them!
We have a pistol platoon, and let the soldiers of the pistol platoon stand at the front. They can compete with the Japs with firepower and defeat them! "
"Okay! Just do it!"
Li Dahe immediately agreed, and then shouted:
"Comrades, stand back and let the little devil come up!
The pistols are lined up in front. When the little devils come up, use the pistols to deal with them! "
Although the soldiers didn't quite understand why there was such an order, they carried it out immediately.
Soon, the little devil rushed to the third company's position.
At this time, the three bombers in the sky saw that the Locust Army warriors had rushed to the Eighth Route Army position, and the bullets on their own planes were almost full, so they immediately shook their wings and flew away.
Seeing that the nasty plane finally left, the soldiers of the Third Company breathed a sigh of relief and immediately fought back crazily.
At this time, the soldier in the pistol platoon at the front immediately pulled out the 20-shot box gun from his waist, pointed it at the more than a hundred little Japs, and pulled the trigger.
Dozens of box cannons fired a volley, as if dozens of light machine guns were firing. In less than 2 minutes, thousands of bullets were fired. A single encounter caused heavy casualties to the little devils, who were wailing again and again.
Directly lost more than half of the troops.
By the time the soldiers in the pistol platoon finished firing the 20-round magazines in their pistols, there were less than forty little Japs still standing in front of them!
For this enemy, how could the Third Company soldiers with more than a hundred people left let them go?
Lying down in the trench, heavy machine guns, Czech guns, and 38-guns opened fire, and they were all wiped out in no time!
Shimokawa Seiya at the foot of the mountain was originally prepared to welcome the dawn of victory, but suddenly discovered that Tubal Road was equipped with so many repeating pistols. He was shocked and knew that his chance to turn defeat into victory was completely ruined.
He couldn't help roaring in panic:
"idiot!
Tubalu, cunning and cunning! "
At this time, he discovered that there were less than 400 soldiers still fighting on his position.
A full brigade with more than 1,100 people, plus an artillery squadron with more than 1,200 people, actually lost more than 800 people during the fierce battle in the past few hours. It was so terrifying!
…
Yang Yuanshan's forward headquarters.
The correspondent sent to Wei Dayong has already set off.
He found a kettle, drank some water, and moistened his throat.
At this time, a correspondent ran in sweating and reported:
"Battal Commander, from the direction of Shouxian County, about one squadron of young Japanese and two companies of second Japanese are rushing towards us. It is estimated that it will take at most one hour to reach our blocking position south of Huangling Village!"
When Yang Yuanshan heard this, he couldn't help frowning and thought to himself: Good guy, this one is really stretched!
Kong Jie of the New Second Regiment is still unreliable after all. He didn’t take action to stop these little devils?
Or is this already the result of their resistance?
There is probably no artillery fire in the blocking position south of Huangling Village now. It would be very difficult for the multiple platoons of soldiers from the Third Company to withstand the attack of a squadron of little Japanese soldiers.
But the little devil still has an hour to arrive, and he still has a chance to play his cards.
Thinking of this, he immediately issued two orders:
"Xiaohe, go to Qixia Town immediately, ask Xu Erfei's reserve team to stop cleaning the battlefield, and immediately go to the Qingniu Mountain position to provide support!"
"Order Xia Dayi to take the militia they summoned to clean the battlefield in Qixia Town and cooperate with Lao Zhou to transport supplies."
"yes!"
Zhang Xiaohe ran in a hurry.
Then Yang Yuanshan ordered:
"Go and call the logistics company commander Zhao Li!"
…
After a while, Zhao Li came running with an apron still tied around his waist.
"Batalion Commander, are you looking for me?
Our logistics company has made steamed buns, should we deliver them to the soldiers now?
If you eat something hot, the soldiers can have more energy to fight with the little devil! "
"Time is running out.
I now order you to immediately count all the people in your logistics company who can still hold guns, bring guns, ammunition, grenades, and grenades, and go to the blocking position south of Huangling Village to support them. "
Hearing that even the last cook had to step in, Zhao Li immediately understood the seriousness of the situation and immediately agreed without any hesitation:
"yes!"
"Zhao Li, I only give you 20 minutes to prepare.
After 20 minutes, you must set off immediately to the south of Huangling Village.
After arriving at the position, accept the command of Wang Quanfa or Li Youqiong.
We must arrive within 30 minutes, do you understand? "
"clear!"
Zhao Li roared.
I also feel my blood boiling in my heart.
Since following Yang Yuanshan, he has basically never been on the battlefield. Now he finally has another chance. How can he not be excited?
…
After sending Zhao Li away, Yang Yuanshan silently calculated the situation in his mind and felt that the entire situation should be basically controllable.
As long as it withstands this last wave, the spy battalion can easily harvest the fruits of victory and rest in Qixia Town for several days.
At this time, someone suddenly ran from the bottom of the mountain and shouted:
"Batalion Commander, Battalion Commander, I'm back!"
When Yang Yuanshan heard this voice, he suddenly became energetic and laughed.
"Monk, why did you come back so quickly?
My messenger shouldn't be that fast, right? "
Wei Dayong's return means that there are no enemies in the direction of Heyuan County. If Wei Dayong, a company of guardsmen, arrives at the Qingniu Mountain battlefield, the little Japs will be dead!
"We waited at Shahukou for a long time, but we didn't see the little devil coming at all.
So I sent the correspondent back to report the situation while leading the soldiers back. As a result, I happened to meet the messenger sent by you, the battalion commander, on the way. "
"Okay! Your boy came back in time.
But you withdrew from the tiger's mouth, did you leave any big meal for the little devil?
If the Japanese army comes over, it will be a threat to us. "
Yang Yuanshan was still a little worried.
According to the original intelligence, there was a group of Japs in Heyuan County, more than in Qubei County. Once the enemy came out in full force, they would be in great trouble.
"Battal Commander, don't worry.
I took my men with me a long time ago to dig out all the roads. I also laid a lot of mines and set up a lot of booby traps.
Even if the little devils were to come, they wouldn't be able to arrive in a few hours. It would delay them for ten to eight hours at least! "
Wei Dayong explained hehe.
"Okay! That's good!
Come on, let’s go to Qingniu Mountain to collect the nets! "
Yang Yuanshan patted Wei Dayong on the shoulder.
Take the lead and walk down the mountain.
…
The soldiers of the guard company ran all the way back from the tiger-killing mouth. They were all very tired and breathing heavily.
Now I heard Yang Yuanshan say that he was going to Qingniu Mountain for support, but no one complained about being tired, so they just carried the machine gun and grenade launcher and left.
…
