Chapter 184 Fierce battle between Passive Helper and Laoye Ridge!

Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "So, for the safety of the regiment.".

"We must hold on to Jiangjun Ridge. Otherwise, we really have no choice but to evacuate Dagu Town and move the regiment headquarters into the mountains."

Fang Ligong shook his head when he heard this, but he didn't want to go into the mountain.

Thinking of this, Fang Ligong immediately said: "Regiment leader, we can only send a message to the Second Battalion stationed at Jiangjun Ridge to get ready for battle."

"Um!!!"

Chu Yunfei was also a little helpless. Of course he understood what Xu Rui was thinking.

However, it is impossible not to defend Jiangjun Ridge.

Immediately, Chu Yunfei said to Second Lieutenant Lin Qihe, the communications staff officer on the side: "Send a report to the Second Battalion and ask them to rely on the terrain of Jiangjun Ridge to prepare for battle.".

"By the way, it's a death order. You must defend Jiangjun Ridge. I will drive to Jiangjun Ridge. If you lose Jiangjun Ridge, the Second Battalion will shoot you."

When Lin Qihe saw this, he was immediately frightened. The order from the group leader was so strict.

"Yes, group seat."

Lin Qihe stood at attention and saluted, then turned and returned to the communications room at the regiment headquarters, asking someone to send reports and orders to the second battalion of the 358th regiment in Jiangjun Ridge.

When Lieutenant Colonel Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the 358th Regiment, saw what Chu Yunfei said, he solemnly said: "Regiment leader, are you going to Jiangjun Ridge to command the Second Battalion in combat?".

"This is too dangerous!"

Chu Yunfei shook his head and said: "Brother Ligong, don't worry. The terrain of Jiangjun Ridge is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"But after all, the combat effectiveness of the second battalion is different from that of the first battalion. Now that the first battalion is gone, the combat effectiveness of the first battalion after re-recruitment is weaker than that of the following battalions. And now the second battalion is guarding Jiangjun Ridge, I still have a little

Don't worry, I must personally command the Second Battalion to defend Jiangjun Ridge."

After a pause, Chu Yunfei continued to do meritorious service and said, "Brother Ligong, you personally command the third battalion and stay behind in Dagu Town."

Seeing Chu Yunfei say this, his tone was firm.

Fang Ligong, who knew Chu Yunfei's character, didn't say much to persuade him.

"The group has arrived at Jiangjun Ridge, please pay attention to safety."

Fang Ligong warned: "After all, bullets and cannonballs don't have eyesight."

"Don't worry, brother Ligong, I don't even know where the raw materials for the shells and bullets that can kill me, Chu Yunfei, are."

Chu Yunfei laughed loudly and said, "I also want to see the fighting to the east of Jiangjun Ridge and towards Jinghai County."

"If we hold on at Jiangjun Ridge, the Japanese will concentrate their forces and continue to attack Jinghai County, which will be very interesting. Only this time, we are passively helping the 303rd Regiment! When the war is over, if Xu

Rui is still there, and his 303rd Regiment is still there. When the time comes, there should be some chance that we can come again to ask for the weapons, equipment and ammunition from my battalion that Xu Rui looted from Lijia Town."

Hearing this, Fang Ligong showed an expression of great agreement and said: "That's what the leader said."

"That Tuanzuo is here in Dagu Town. I will take the third battalion to watch it. There is no problem."

Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "I'm going to Jiangjun Ridge."

"Um!!!"

Fang Ligong nodded.

Then, Chu Yunfei immediately drove from Dagu Town to Jiangjun Ridge with a guard company of soldiers.

Of course, before Chu Yunfei left Dagu Town, he also asked someone to send a report to the 303rd Regiment, saying that he already knew about it.

Five or six minutes later, in the bunker headquarters of the 303rd Regiment in Nanmen City, Jinghai County.

"Regiment leader, the 358th Regiment called back and they said they already knew about it."

Gu Jiaping, communications staff officer of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, reported to Xu Ruihui.

After receiving the reply telegram from the 358th Regiment from Gu Jiaping, Xu Rui read it and handed it to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, saying: "The 358th Regiment called back and said that it understood and would order its second battalion to guard Jiangjun Ridge."

"Regiment leader, you said that if Jiangjun Ridge cannot be defended, then Dagu Town, the headquarters of the 358th Regiment, will probably not be defended either."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu said solemnly: "Then, once the Japanese have killed Dagu Town, they will have to march to Lijia Town in another hour and a half to two hours."

"This situation is very likely to occur."

Xu Rui looked at the map, nodded, and said: "Chief of Staff You are right, we can't expect Jiangjun Ridge to be defended by the Second Battalion of the 358th Regiment."

"After all, the combat effectiveness of Chu Yunfei's second battalion is much worse than that of his first battalion. Although Jiangjun Ridge has a steep terrain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the little devil's roundabout strength is higher than the actual strength of the second battalion. Can it be defended 100%?

, indeed we cannot guarantee it.”

Luo Youdu said: "Now, we can only order the third battalion stationed in Lijia Town to strengthen the defense."

"At that time, it depends on the situation. Once Jiangjun Ridge is lost, Dagu Town will also be lost. Tuanzuo, we will really have no choice but to abandon Jinghai County and lure the enemy northward in accordance with the battle plan formulated before the war."

Xu Rui nodded and said: "Then it depends on the battle situation at Jiangjun Ridge and Laoye Ridge."

"That's right."

Luo Youdu nodded.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!!"

"Da da da, bang bang bang!!"

At this moment, another violent sound of gunfire came from outside the bunker headquarters.

Xu Rui and Luo Youdu came out of the bunker headquarters together and climbed onto the roof to observe the outside of the city from a high position.

I saw that the two mountainous areas outside the south gate of Jinghai County, Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, were attacked by a new round of Japanese attack troops.

However, after fighting for more than ten minutes, the Japanese who attacked Dabeishan and Xiaobeishan each had an infantry brigade and retreated on their own initiative.

Subsequently, its artillery group launched artillery fire on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, but the intensity of the attack was not very violent.

"Taro Nagata thinks we don't know about his actions to divide his troops?"

Xu Rui smiled and said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "Continuing to feint attack is a waste of their own ammunition."

"Perhaps Taro Nagata knows that after the battles at Jiangjun Ridge and Laoye Ridge begin, Taro Nagata will order the Japanese troops to stop attacking our garrison positions at Xiaobei Mountain and Dabei Mountain."

Luo Youdu said with a smile.

"Maybe."

Xu Rui said.

"Order First Battalion Commander Chen Zhenping and Second Battalion Commander Liu Shuoming not to relax their vigilance, lest the Japanese's feint attack turns into a strong attack."

Xu Rui said to Luo Youdu.

"Um!"

Luo Youdu nodded, and then sent someone to call Chen Zhenping and Liu Shuoming to be alert.

At this time, Taro Nagata continued to order the 28th Infantry Regiment, the 30th Infantry Regiment and other units of the 36th Division, each with an infantry brigade, to use ten minutes as an attack time to attack Obeishan and Xiaoshan in turn.

Beishan attacks.

The wheel battle lasted until 27:00 noon.

At this point in time, the Japanese troops, which had already divided their forces and made circuitous routes, arrived at Laoye Ridge and Jiangjun Ridge successively, and launched an attack from the rear.

As a result of receiving telegrams from Xu Rui, the men and horses of the Second Battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army in Jiangjunling were ready for battle and fought against the Japanese who made the surprise attack.

In the direction of Laoye Ridge on the right wing, which was the first to start the attack, Zhang Dabiao, commander of the First Battalion of the New Regiment, who received the telegram from the New Regiment Headquarters, commanded the First Battalion of the New Regiment. After the Japanese troops who were making a roundabout attack at Laoye Ridge suddenly launched an attack, they immediately responded in kind.

.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!"

"Da da da, da da da!"

Violent explosions suddenly exploded on and under the mountains of Laoye Ridge.

"Taojijiji, Taojijiji!!!"

The Japanese troops that were detouring towards Laoye Ridge were the 2nd Infantry Brigade and the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 29th Infantry Regiment of the 21st Infantry Brigade of the 36th Japanese Division, with a total of about 2,200 people.

The Japanese commander who commanded this unit was Colonel Jiro Uemura, captain of the 29th Infantry Regiment.

At this time, Colonel Jiro Uemura drew out his samurai sword and swung it violently towards the mountain of Laoye Ridge. The 2nd Infantry Battalion of the command post's regiment took the lead in attacking.

More than 1,100 Japanese soldiers dispersed in the attack formation of small skirmishers. The cat hunched over, holding a Type 38 rifle. In the rear were Type 92 heavy machine guns and light machine gun firepower, as well as grenades and several

Under the cover of mortar fire, they launched a fierce attack on Laoye Ridge without even probing the attack.

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the new regiment and battalion defending Laoye Ridge, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this.

"Made, do you really think we are the Central Army and there are other Shanxi-Sui Army units?"

Zhang Dabiao looked down the mountain from the bunker headquarters on Laoyeling Mountain and saw the scattered Japanese soldiers already attacking towards the mountain.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!!"

At this time, the Japanese artillery shells had already hit Laoyeling Mountain, exploding clouds of smoke and dust.
