As the two companies of the Sixth Reserve Division joined the battlefield, the balance of victory tilted again - it was completely tilted towards the national army.
The troops of the First Guard Regiment suppressed the firepower of the Japanese army, and then the troops of the Sixth Reserve Division launched the main attack.
After a while, the troops of the Sixth Preparatory Division boarded the main position of Waishan No. 1 position.
For a time, the sound of killing echoed throughout the valley.
Sonoda Yoshio's headquarters was not far from the No. 1 Toishan position, so he could naturally hear the movements here.
So, Sonoda Yoshio walked out of his headquarters and quietly listened to the killing shouts coming from Toishan No. 1.
"Looking at this formation, the attacking strength of the China Army must be at least 800 people. If there were not more than 800 people, they would not be able to fight this formation." Sonoda Yoshio murmured.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, are we going to send a large number of troops to counterattack next?" the staff officer next to him asked.
"If we don't fight back, the enemy's guns will hit our division headquarters. How could we not fight back?!" Sonoda Yoshio said fiercely, "Order nearby troops to quickly reinforce the No. 1 Waishan position!"
"Hai!!" the staff officer next to him responded.
…
The camera turned back to Waishan No. 1 position.
Due to the fierce offensive of the national army, the Japanese troops on the position began to retreat steadily.
Finally, under the strong leadership of Kazuo Oyama, the Japanese army began to gradually reduce its strength to only a few people.
"Sir, we can't hold on any longer. Our position will fall soon." A Japanese soldier next to him said to Kazuo Oyama next to him.
"Even if the position finally falls, we must hold on! If we can't hold on, the enemy's artillery will hit our division headquarters directly!" Kazuo Oyama shouted excitedly.
"Hai!" After saying that, the Japanese soldier also began to fight back.
It has to be said that the little devil's marksmanship was extremely accurate - the Japanese soldier fired two shots in a row, directly hitting two Chinese soldiers.
But this moment of luck was only temporary. The next second, a bullet penetrated his helmet and entered his head. For a moment, his flesh and blood were bloody and cruel.
Just when the Japanese army could no longer hold on, reinforcements from the Japanese army arrived.
As a new force, the arrival of this small Japanese army alleviated the dilemma of the Japanese army on Waishan No. 1 position to a certain extent.
Regarding the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, Zhang Tianhai also began to realize that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked a soldier next to him to notify the headquarters of the 6th Reserve Division and inform Commander Ji Zhangjian and Deputy Commander Shangguan Zhiyun that reinforcements were needed here. , the Japanese army is very likely to start a battle around here.
"Yes! Tuan Zuo!" The soldier responded and then took the order and left, not very fast.
The gunfire on the position was very fierce, and the explosions were continuous. Obviously, both sides were jealous.
Waishan Position No. 1 is not far from the headquarters of the Sixth Preparatory Division. Running down the mountain, it is only about ten minutes away. It is not an exaggeration.
If the Japanese army knew that the headquarters of the Sixth Reserve Division was located so close, they would definitely find a way to bring an artillery over and blow it up.
However, the premise is that the Japanese army knows this situation, but the fact is that the Japanese army cannot know that the frontline headquarters of the national army is set up so close.
…
At this time, the headquarters of the Sixth Preparatory Division could be said to be quiet and peaceful, especially the division commander Ji Zhangjian and the deputy division commander Shangguan Zhiyun, who were discussing the war on the mountain.
"Master, what do you think is the chance of winning the war above?" Deputy Division Commander Major General Shangguan Zhiyun asked.
"Brother Shangguan, since you already know the answer, why do you ask knowingly?" Ji Zhangjian grinned, his face full of joy.
"I have little knowledge and want to ask Master for advice. I also want to hear Master's opinions." Shangguan Zhiyun also said with a smile.
Seeing the faint smile on the corner of Shangguan Zhiyun's mouth, Ji Zhangjian smiled and said: "Okay, since Brother Shangguan has said so, let me analyze it! I don't think they can take the Japanese position , even if they are captured, they will definitely not be able to withstand the Japanese counterattack. Therefore, they will definitely ask us for help. Although they are the tip of the red tassel gun, they will definitely not be able to break through the main force of the Japanese army without the support of the gun barrel behind them. Positional."
"Master, you are indeed wise." Shangguan Zhiyun clapped his hands as if flattering, and then said: "I admire you for your humility."
"Don't talk nonsense. You've already asked the 24th Preliminary Group to assemble, right?" Ji Zhangjian said with a smile, as if everything was nothing to worry about.
"Oh? The one who knows me is the master." Shangguan Zhiyun grinned, "The 24th Regiment of the 12th Brigade has been assembled and is waiting for instructions from the master!"
"Okay." Ji Zhangjian said with a smile, "Order the troops to prepare to go up the mountain! Based on this movement, our Captain Zhang is going to fight with the little devil. If nothing else, the main position must be in the little devil. position!"
Sure enough, after a while, a soldier from the National Army ran in and reported: "Reporting to Commander Ji and Deputy Commander Shangguan of the Sixth Division. His humble position is a soldier of the Special Agent Company of the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater. He is currently serving as our regiment's commander." Order to inform the two officers that the outer mountain position is in urgent need of support. Hao Dachun, Commander Hao's team and our special agent company are already fighting the Japanese army. Now they have basically occupied the main Japanese position, but some Japanese reinforcements have arrived. If support is not provided as soon as possible, , it is very likely that all previous efforts will be wasted!”
After hearing this report, Ji Zhangjian immediately stood up and said: "Okay! Deputy Division Commander Shangguan, immediately order the 24th Preparatory Regiment to carry out the assigned tasks!"
"Yes! Master!" Commander Zhiyun stood up and saluted. He also held the position of commander of the 12th Brigade.
"Okay, go back and report to your regiment commander right away! We are preparing the sixth division, and reinforcements from a regiment will come forward to support us soon. Commander Zhang, please hold on!" Ji Zhangjian said seriously, what should be done and what should not be done He still knew very well what to do.
You know, the Sixth Preparatory Division failed to capture this Waishan position after attacking it for a whole day. Don't ask why it couldn't be captured. The reason is that although the Sixth Reserve Division is a division-level unit, its combat effectiveness is not strong. In particular, there is no sharp-sword unit that can completely break through the Japanese positions.
This is why even though the Chinese army had 100,000 troops, it took more than ten days to annihilate all the more than 17,000 Japanese 106th Division in the Wanjialing area.
You know, apart from the fact that the Japanese army is strong in combat, the more important reason is that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is too weak. Otherwise, how could there be a situation where a Japanese regiment is chasing a division of the Chinese army?
It was precisely because they were clearly aware of the shortcomings of their troops that Ji Zhangjian and Shangguan Zhiyun provided such great support when they learned that the special agent company of the 1st Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater Zone came to help.
At the same time, they were also prepared to fight the next refueling battle as long as the first guard regiment opened a breakthrough for the enemy.
After all, they won this battle, and their greatest achievement was their preparation of the Sixth Division!
