It dawned soon. Perhaps it was because of their exhaustion. Although there were many mosquitoes in the mountains, Zhang Tianhai and others still slept soundly. This may be attributed to their habit of living in the jungle. reason.
The battle on Mufu Mountain is still going on. It has to be said that in the face of poorly equipped troops like the Sichuan Army, the Japanese army has extremely strong combat effectiveness. They are pushing up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, and the troops are advancing very fast.
"Boss, the situation is not good now. The Japs are advancing too fast! We simply cannot withstand their pressure!" A Sichuan Army lieutenant colonel reported to Yang Senhui in pure Sichuan dialect.
"Damn it, little Japan is bullying others too much!" Yang Sen cursed viciously, but that state easily made people think of four words - incompetent and furious.
In fact, this is also true. The Sichuan Army's equipment is too inferior. Even though they are full of courage and fearless of death, they are simply difficult to resist in front of the well-equipped and well-trained Japanese army!
In fact, these Sichuan soldiers could only use their own bodies to block the advance of the Japanese army!
Seriously, every inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of blood!
"Boss, what should we do now? There are so many casualties among the troops..." The lieutenant colonel's brows were furrowed, obviously very distressed.
"What else can we do? It's tough!" Yang Sen snorted angrily. He still hadn't forgotten why he had promised to lead the Sichuan army out of Sichuan - to fight against the Japs.
"Yes! Boss!!" After receiving such a firm answer from Yang Sen, the Sichuan Army lieutenant colonel immediately stood at attention and saluted.
That's right, as the backbone of the entire army group, Yang Sen's will is extremely important. If Yang Sen can't withstand it, then the people below him will immediately retreat without even thinking about it.
When they meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. What they fight for is fighting spirit and courage. As long as one party is willing to give up, then the other party will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop!
…
Compared with the infantry fighting on the Sichuan Army's side, the elements on the Xinqianghe Defense Line are much richer and more colorful.
After the Japanese aircraft and artillery took turns in the previous two days, the Jinlong Mountain and Doupeng Mountain fortifications on the Xinqianghe Defense Line were all blown up, but the Japanese were still unable to capture the Chinese garrison positions.
It was already the third day of the Sixth Division's offensive. Seeing that the positions of Jinlong Mountain and Doupeng Mountain were still unable to be taken, Shiro Inaba, who was under great pressure, chose to turn his attention to Leigong Mountain and Cao Xie Ridge, and surrounded them. Fighting to the death for a piece of land.
The land of northern Hunan is filled with smoke!
…
The camera returns to the headquarters of the 2nd Guard Regiment of the 9th Theater Guard Force.
By the time Zhang Tianhai had rested, it was already noon that day.
Looking at the brothers who were still soundly asleep, to be honest, Zhang Tianhai really couldn't bear it: after all, these brothers are really powerful and they really tried their best. If any army came to fight, they would probably Without this unit working so hard, they must hurry back to Huangsha Town. Otherwise, once the Japanese 33rd Division breaks through the Mufu Mountain defense line, they will be in trouble when they return.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhai became determined. He immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone! Get up immediately, seize the time to march, and return to Huangsha Town! Hurry!!"
Following Zhang Tianhai's order, the bugler who woke up first immediately blew the wake-up call. Soon, the entire army got up.
"Hurry up, take five minutes to wake up, and then set off immediately!!" Zhang Tianhai's tone contained a lot of impatience and command. There was no way, the burden on him was too heavy, as long as he A relatively low-level mistake may ruin this army.
The battlefield is a place that extremely tests the commander's commanding skills, and it is also a place that determines the life and death of both sides!
…
Under Zhang Tianhai's strict order, all the pursuit troops of the Second Guard Regiment have returned to Huangsha Town.
At this time, Huangsha Town had already been cleaned up by the Third Guard Regiment, which was responsible for cleaning the battlefield.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the Third Guard Regiment Headquarters has honored its mission and has completed the task of cleaning the battlefield." Gu Shi'an walked up to Zhang Tianhai and stood at attention, saluting.
Looking at the officers and soldiers of the Second Guard Regiment next to him who were almost exhausted, Zhang Tianhai couldn't bear it, so he said: "You have finished cleaning the battlefield. How many supplies have been seized? Have you counted them?"
"Sir, by cleaning the battlefield, we have seized a total of more than 1,500 Japanese-made 38s, 85 usable light machine guns, and 32 usable heavy machine guns. We have seized 120 grenades. More than ten tools." Gu Shi'an reported honestly.
"Very good. It's a profit if you can seize so many things. I guess with the few remaining people you have, you can barely carry these things to Changle Town, right?" Zhang Tianhai asked.
Gu Shi'an scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It's true. We almost have to carry two guns on each hand, and we have to carry a lot of these 'big guys', so it's just enough!"
"That's alright. You can count the number of people and see if you can send someone to support the Second Guard Regiment. They have seized a lot of things, and I think it will be troublesome to move them." Zhang Tianhai ordered.
"Yes! Sir!" Gu Shi'an responded, there was nothing he could do, this was an order forced by the commander-in-chief, and he had no reason to refuse.
"Okay, it's settled! Let the brothers pack their things and rest for a while. Let's rush to Changle Town overnight!" Zhang Tianhai said seriously, with a little excitement in his tone.
Yes, just excited!
Theoretically speaking, in this confrontation with the Japanese 33rd Division, their casualties were not very large, and they even made a profit. They wiped out more than 3,000 enemies at the cost of only more than 1,000 casualties, which was already a huge amount. 's victory.
The casualties of more than 1,300 people are actually not too many for the entire ninth theater guard force. After all, this is only two infantry battalions, and the entire ninth theater guard force is about the same. There are fourteen infantry battalions, plus other units directly under the regiment, etc., which is a lot.
"Yes! Sir!" Gu Shi'an stood at attention again and saluted.
For Zhang Tianhai, the weapons seized this time were enough for Zhang Tianhai to arm three Japanese infantry battalions again, and they were fully equipped, and the weapons and equipment looked like those of the First Guard Regiment.
Under this situation, Zhang Tianhai has already made preparations for recovery after the war, mainly to replenish the troops with greater casualties!
