"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!!!"

At this time, the battle at the mouth of the valley southeast of Laolang Valley was fierce.

Faced with the danger of annihilation of the Japanese squadron trapped in the valley, Sakata Nobori took action personally and commanded the regiment's 1st Infantry Battalion to launch a fierce attack on the entrance of the valley southeast of Laolang Valley.

However, the southeastern entrance of Laolang Valley is very narrow, and the ambush soldiers used explosives to blow down the rocks on the hills on both sides of the valley entrance, completely blocking the entrance.

In an instant, even the Japanese who rushed to the bottom of the valley mouth suffered heavy casualties from the grenades dropped by the ambushes on both sides of the valley mouth.

Seeing this, Sakata Nobori, who had reached a stalemate in the battle, was in an even worse mood.

"Commander Captain, look, the enemy is getting reinforcements!"

The commander of the regiment's staff, Major Dokno Taro, suddenly pointed to the hills on both sides of the valley southeast of Laolang Valley, where more ambushes and firepower emerged, and said with a changed expression.

"No, could it be that the squadron trapped in the Old Wolf Valley was annihilated by the enemy in less than five minutes?"

Sakata Nobori looked gloomy and couldn't help but say.

"The gunshots and explosions in the Old Wolf Valley have disappeared. Captain, I'm afraid the squadron that entered the Old Wolf Valley has encountered something unexpected."

Taro Dokno said with a bitter look, "What should we do now? There is no point in continuing to attack Taniguchi."

"hateful!!!"

Sakata Nobori gritted his teeth. His ears were intact, so of course he couldn't hear the fierce gunfire and explosions in the Old Wolf Valley.

Then there is only one reason: the imperial army squadron trapped in the Old Wolf Valley has been eaten by the enemy.

"Order the First Infantry Battalion to stop attacking and withdraw!"

At this time, we saw that the enemy ambush had taken advantage of the commanding terrain on the hills on both sides of the valley entrance. If we continued to attack the valley entrance, we would only lose troops and generals, which was meaningless.

What's more, the imperial army squadrons that were trapped in the valley were all annihilated.

There is no point in threshing the valley mouth anymore.

"Yes, Captain."

Seeing that Sakata Nobori was not carried away by his anger, Chief of Staff Dokno Taro secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After immediately responding, he turned to a Japanese staff officer and shouted to the side: "Order Takeda Hisao's First Infantry Battalion to withdraw.

Stop attacking Taniguchi.”.

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

The Japanese staff officer paused heavily, and immediately sent someone to order Hisao Takeda's 1st Infantry Battalion to withdraw and stop the attack.

At this time, Hisao Takeda, captain of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the Sakata Regiment, was also very anxious.

The Japanese squadron trapped in the Old Wolf Valley is his army!

"Major Takeda, the commander of the regiment ordered to stop the attack and withdraw!"

Soon, the Japanese messengers rushed to Takeda Hisao, stood at attention, and then gave the order.

"Nani? Why?"

Seeing that many Japanese soldiers had been lost in the attack on Taniguchi, Takeda Hisao, who was on fire, roared angrily.

"The imperial squadron trapped in the Old Wolf Valley has been eaten by the enemy. The commander of the regiment ordered to withdraw! Stop the attack!"

The Japanese messenger said quickly.

At this time, Takeda Hisao listened carefully and found that the gunshots and explosions from the fierce battle in the Old Wolf Valley were gone.

Needless to say, the battle in the Old Wolf Valley is definitely over.

But now we can see that there are more enemy ambushes on the hills on both sides of the valley entrance in the southeast direction of Laolang Valley, and there is also more firepower.

How could Hisao Takeda not know what was going on at this time?

"hateful!"

Hisao Takeda was unwilling to give in. It was his troops who fell into the valley of the old wolf.

However, there were no gunshots or explosions from the fierce fighting in the Old Wolf Valley, indicating that the infantry squadron trapped in the valley was doomed.

"Order all squadrons to stop attacking Taniguchi and retreat!"

Facing the enemy's ambush, they had already occupied the commanding geographical advantage on the hills on both sides of the valley entrance, and the enemy also had machine guns.

Although our own side has mortars to provide artillery fire cover, it is impossible to break through the southeastern valley entrance of Laolang Valley in a short time as the entrance of the valley has been blocked by rocks blown down by bombs!

"Yes, Captain."

The Japanese messenger standing next to Takeda Hisao responded, and then immediately went down to deliver the order.

Soon, the Japanese troops who attacked the valley entrance in the southeast direction of Laolang Valley slowly retreated under the cover of artillery and machine gun fire, back to the starting position where the attack began.

Seeing the Japanese retreating, they stopped attacking Taniguchi.

Xu Rui, who was observing from a high position on the highest point of the northeastern mountain range in Laolang Valley, actually had a relaxed expression.

"Sakata Nobori, this old Japs is not stupid. He did not continue to order the Japs troops to attack the mouth of the valley southeast of Laolang Valley."

Xu Rui smiled and said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu.

"Sakata Nobori, this old Japanese soldier, seems to know that the Japanese troops trapped in the valley have been eaten by us, so he stopped his losses in time."

Luo Youdu chuckled and said.

"As expected, you are an old devil. You cannot underestimate the other party's tolerance."

Xu Rui put away his smile and then said in a condensed voice.

"The Third Battalion and the First Reconnaissance Company on the hills on both sides of the valley entrance in the southeast of Laolang Valley have been reinforced by the Second Battalion and can basically hold it now. However, the Japanese have mortars. I am afraid that the old Japanese Nobori Sakata will continue to attack the two sides of the valley entrance.

We were bombarded by shelling on the hilltop on the side, and we were also bombed!"

Luo Youdu reminded.

"Let's go down to the valley and have a look!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then pointed to the battalion that was cleaning up the ambush battlefield in the Old Wolf Valley.

"OK!!"

Luo Youdu nodded, and then together with Xu Rui, they descended from the temporary command position into the Old Wolf Valley.

"Team seats!"

Seeing Xu Rui and Luo Youdu coming down, First Battalion Commander Chen Zhenping immediately trotted up to them, stood at attention and saluted and said, "Chief of Staff, why are you down?".

"Come down and see how the cleaning of the battlefield is going?"

Xu Rui waved his hand and asked.

"It's been cleaned."

First Battalion Commander Chen Zhenping laughed and said happily: "We killed 216 Japs, including a Japs squadron leader."

"Two light machine guns, six grenade launchers, more than 700 melon grenades, and more than 200 Type 38 rifles were seized! More than 20,000 rounds of ammunition!"

Xu Rui nodded and said: "Okay!".

"It is no longer suitable to stay here for a long time. We cannot have a stalemate with the Sakata Alliance here in Old Wolf Valley!"

Xu Rui asked someone to take out a map and unfold it. He looked at the map in the night and said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "We must find a place to stay."

"Chief of Staff, what suggestions do you have for this unit's foothold?"

Looking at the map, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu said: "Deep in Hutou Mountain, there are not many places that are most suitable for so many people from our 303rd Regiment to stay."

"The most suitable place for us to stay is one that is big enough for a group of my troops to stay. In addition, the terrain can at least block the follow-up attack of the Sakata Alliance!"
