"What Kameda-kun said is very reasonable, let's do it like this!" Akita Oki Ozuo nodded with great satisfaction, "Go and convey my order immediately!"
Soon, a Japanese squadron of about 300 people began to bypass Huang Xiangsan's outer position and advance along the hillside of Huangsha Basin.
Looking at the scene in front of him through the telescope, Gu Shi'an was uncertain: the remaining two battalions under his command were deployed on both sides of Huangsha Town. As long as he wanted to, he could sneak attack on this part of Huangsha Town. It is not difficult for the Japanese troops to attack from inside and outside and defeat the Japanese troops in one fell swoop. However, he is afraid that his move will destroy the overall plan of the commander-in-chief. But what is the overall plan of the commander-in-chief?
"Send the report and ask the commander-in-chief for instructions immediately. He said that there is a chance of annihilating half of the Japanese army's brigade. Will the main force of Tiger Cave attack? Please give instructions." Gu Shi'an said.
"Yes! Group seat!" the telegraph operator responded.
…
About five minutes later, the telegram came back: Please ask for instructions from Commander No. 2.
After seeing this reply, Gu Shi'an immediately asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Zhou Fangjie for instructions on combat.
Different from Zhang Tianhai's reply, Zhou Fangjie's telegram had only one word: Fight!
After receiving Zhou Fangjie's order, Gu Shi'an made a prompt decision and immediately ordered the troops to enter combat mode, ready to seize the retreat of the Japanese army at any time.
Gu Shi'an is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very clever. After he gave the order to prepare for battle, he did not launch an attack immediately. He was waiting for the best opportunity. He must annihilate the enemy in the most relaxed manner. military!
…
As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, the Japanese troops who are outflanking the mountain are thinking of sneak attack on Huangsha Town, while the national troops on the mountain are aiming their guns at the back of the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain...
For Kenjiro Obara, it is undoubtedly a great thing for Captain Akita to give him the opportunity to lead a raid. He must make great achievements, otherwise he will not be able to live up to the high hopes placed on him by Captain Akita...
"Forward, forward!" Kenjiro Obara was waving his hand, and the troops below were advancing rapidly.
However, all this did not escape the eyes of the military officers and soldiers.
Lin Zhenda is the company commander of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Guard Regiment. His task is to lead his two platoons to guard the back line of defense to prevent the Japanese invaders from making a surprise attack here.
"Company commander, the little Japanese are sneaking over now. Should we give them a hard blow?" the squad leader next to him asked Lin Zhendao.
"Wait! Let's fight again when they get closer." Lin Zhenda looked deeply at the mountain peaks in the distance.
"Yes, company commander." The squad leader responded.
Lin Zhenda also knew that if he relied solely on his own strength, he would inevitably be involved in a hard battle with these Japanese troops. If he guessed correctly, the number of Japanese soldiers on the opposite side should be around a squadron, and their number should be 181 or more. Less, and because two platoons were transferred, our side only had more than ninety people. Facing the Japanese army, which had greater firepower and numbers than our own, we suffered a great loss.
You must know that not all of Lin Zhenda's two platoons aimed their guns at the Japanese troops outside. Only about half of the personnel aimed their guns at the Japanese troops outside, which also led to a sharp increase in pressure on the defense line.
It is worth mentioning here that in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of each unit, Zhang Tianhai tried every means to enrich the grassroots strength, especially the configuration at the company and platoon levels.
It is understandable that there are eleven people in a squad. In order to strengthen the front-line troops, Zhang Tianhai can expand the original three squads in a row to four squads in a row, and also expand the original three squads in a row. The platoon was strengthened to a company of four platoons. If not, the three regiments of the guard force would be trapped in asymmetric combat with the Japanese army in all aspects.
What is asymmetric warfare? In Zhang Tianhai's eyes, the Japanese army is stronger than his own in terms of weapons and equipment and the quality of the soldiers. If they are not as numerous as the Japanese army, then they will be suppressed and beaten!
If you want to win, you must use strange tactics, and at least be relatively equal to the Japanese army in terms of grassroots combat power.
It is precisely because of the implementation of this policy that the Third Guard Regiment, which was originally supposed to have barely more than 1,400 people, expanded to more than 2,300 people.
Of course, the implementation of this policy is mainly because of the examples set by the First Guard Regiment and the Second Guard Regiment, because the first two regiments are reinforcement regiments, and the officers are basically from German weapons units such as the First Guard Regiment. department, so with the support of various factors, the expansion of the Ninth Theater District's security forces is unstoppable.
All the balance of victory seemed to be tilting in the direction of the Japanese army, and even Kenjiro Obara had a smile on his face.
Just when Kenjiro Obara shouted to charge, surprises arose!
"Boom!
! "
"Boom!
! "
"Boom!
! "
…
One after another, Japanese soldiers were attacked by landmines... Oh no, they were booby traps to be precise!
As one of the security forces of the ninth theater, the Third Guard Regiment has already learned the tricks of the engineer battalion of the theater guard force, even if the Third Guard Regiment is the lowest-ranked unit among the guard forces.
This is the reason why Zhang Tianhai required these three regiments to set up engineering companies at that time, and why these three engineering companies must be temporarily formed into engineering battalions. The purpose is to spread these enemy-killing techniques in this way! At the same time, in order to maintain the existence of the engineering battalion, Zhang Tianhai also ordered people to organize some basic forces to form an engineering company directly under the guard force headquarters, and the designation was also affiliated with the guard force engineer battalion.
Well, that’s right, because the theater security forces are indeed constantly increasing their combat strength and have won many battles. In addition, in addition to the fact that they work hard in fighting, the ninth theater commander’s department has always turned a blind eye to the expansion of the security forces. With one eye closed - because they also need a capable army to win the war for them!
"Stop!
"Ohara Kenjiro made a prompt decision. He really wanted to rely on surprise attacks to achieve extraordinary feats, but now it seems that it is impossible - because their opponents have already been prepared to guard against their surprise attacks!
】
Since it is no longer possible to rely on raids to establish meritorious deeds, one can only try to do it slowly, because the explosion just now must have alerted the enemies in the room area, and they will not let themselves get in so easily!
Watching this scene through the telescope, Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief. He said to the battalion commander next to him: "First battalion commander, you lead a company of troops to sneak attack on the back of this group of Japanese troops. Remember, you guys You have to get close to them before attacking. Now the Japanese army's attention is all on Huangsha Town. They have suffered a lot now. They will be more careful in the next attack. When they attack Huangsha Town with all their strength, you will attack them. Attack from behind! Go quietly and don’t alert the enemy!”
"Yes! Group seat!" Cheng Pinnian, commander of the first battalion, responded.
Looking at the group of cautious Japanese soldiers, a smile appeared at the corner of Gu Shi'an's mouth: Since you dare to come, then be prepared to be sandwich cookies. What does it mean to be attacked from both sides? You’ll find out soon!
