Chapter 188 Jiangjun Ridge is in danger! Chu Yunfei’s unique skill appears: grenade air blast! (2)

Kazuo Miyatake nodded solemnly and said, "Kurihara-kun is right."

"I originally thought that the 2nd Battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army defending Jiangjun Ridge would not be able to compete with the Imperial Army in terms of combat effectiveness. But I did not expect that the enemy commander defending Jiangjun Ridge still had very strong defensive capabilities.

.The fortifications on Jiangjunling Mountain are strong and dense.”

"The casualties in the forced attack on Jiangjun Ridge were indeed huge."

After a pause, Miyatake Kazuo asked in a serious voice, Major Kurihara Kazuo, the commander of the regiment's staff: "Listen to Kurihara-kun, is there any other way?".

"The casualties in the frontal attack on Jiangjun Ridge would be too great."

Kazuo Kurihara pointed to the defensive position of the defenders in front of Shogun Ridge and said: "We can only think of ways from the flanks, captain."

"I think we can send some elite troops to take a detour behind Jiangjun Ridge and climb up the cliff behind Jiangjun Ridge for a sneak attack."

"Perhaps, it can achieve miraculous results!"

After hearing this, Miyatake Kazuo immediately asked someone to fetch the topographic map of Jiangjun Ridge, unfolded it, and started looking at it on the spot.

"Behind Jiangjun Ridge is a steep cliff. Under such terrain conditions, the enemy troops in Jiangjun Ridge must not have much defensive strength on the cliff behind. Because the cliff behind Jiangjun Ridge is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the vigilance must be very low.

"

Looking at the topographic map of General Ridge, Miyazaki Kazuo nodded, fully agreeing with Kurihara Kazuo's proposal, but then said: "Just a detour to the back of General Ridge, I'm afraid it will take more than an hour."

"But it's worth it, Captain."

Kurihara Kazuo said: "After all, if we storm the enemy's frontal defense position at Shogun Ridge, the opponent will be condescending and have the advantage.".

"And judging from the first trial attack just now, the enemy troops defending Jiangjun Ridge did not expose their hidden firepower points. Once a large number of our troops attack the front position of Jiangjun Ridge, those enemy troops' hidden firepower points will definitely pour out a large amount of firepower.

With the hail of bullets, we must have suffered heavy casualties."

After a pause, Kurihara Kazuo continued, "Why not take a detour to the rear of General Ridge and conduct a surprise attack? This way, we can capture General Ridge with minimal casualties."

"What's more, the enemy troops defending Jiangjun Ridge would not have thought that we would spend more than an hour taking a long detour from the flanks, attack the rear of Jiangjun Ridge, and climb from the cliff behind Jiangjun Ridge to attack the rear of Jiangjun Ridge."

After hearing this, Colonel Kazuo Miyazaki, commander of the 27th Infantry Regiment, thought for a moment that this was true.

After all, he only commanded the strength of two infantry brigades. If it were like the 29th Infantry Regiment on the right, he would quickly lose the strength of an infantry brigades.

Then, even if they capture Jiangjun Ridge and reach Dagu Town, they may have lost more than half of their combat power. Even if they reach Lijia Town, they may not be able to reach Heyuan County.

Thinking of this, Miyatake Kazuo nodded and said: "Then send a squadron of troops, carrying enough ammunition, to attack the rear of Jiangjun Ridge in a detour, and climb from the cliff behind Jiangjun Ridge to raid the rear of Jiangjun Ridge."

"Ask the Second Infantry Brigade to dispatch an elite squadron to attack. We are here to concentrate our firepower, feint to attack the enemy position in front of Jiangjun Ridge, and cover the assaulting infantry squadron."

Major Kazuo Kurihara, chief of staff of the wing, nodded and said in a solemn voice: "Yes, captain, I will deploy immediately."

"Um!!!"

Miyatake Kazuo nodded, and then Kurihara Kazuo immediately mobilized an elite squadron to quietly break away from the rear of the large army, and then detoured through the dense forest on the flank.

Then, Miyatake Kazuo ordered the Japanese artillerymen who came with the army to concentrate their artillery fire on the garrison position in front of Jiangjunling.

After that, they continued to use a squadron of troops to continue to pretend to attack the garrison position in front of Jiangjun Ridge, attracting the garrison's attention.

Gu Qing, commander of the second battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army who was defending Jiangjun Ridge, did not expect that the little Japs would take a long detour for more than an hour and attack the cliff behind Jiangjun Ridge.

Therefore, Gu Qing commanded the Second Battalion to block the attack from the front position of Jiangjun Ridge.

This battle was fought intermittently.

Time keeps passing little by little in this battle.

After about half an hour passed, Miyazaki Kazuo saw that if he continued to feint like this, he might arouse the suspicion of the enemy troops at General Ridge.

Immediately, at 12 o'clock at noon, one of the Japanese infantry squadrons was ordered to launch a strong attack. The second battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, which was defending Jiangjun Ridge, almost lost its first defensive position.

However, Gu Qing, commander of the second battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army defending Jiangjun Ridge, gave timely command and repelled the real strong attack among the Japs' feint attack.

But this move made Gu Qing not notice the little devil's conspiracy.

"Made, I thought the little devil was feinting to waste my ammunition. Unexpectedly, the feinting attack suddenly turned into a real attack."

Gu Qinghou looked at the repelled Japanese infantry squadron with fear and muttered.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!!"

“Da da da!!!”

Seeing that the first real strong attack was repelled, Miyatake Kazuo had no choice but to order the artillery in the rear to continue bombarding Jiangjun Ridge. The light and heavy machine guns concentrated their firepower and fired wildly at the garrison positions on the mountain of Jiangjun Ridge.

"Bageya Road and the frontal position of Jiangjun Ridge are indeed difficult to capture."

Looking at the front position of General Ridge where smoke and dust were billowing from the bombing, Miyatake Kazuo said to Chief of Staff Kurihara Kazuo.

"Fortunately, Mr. Kurihara persuaded him in time to carry out a climbing assault from under the cliff behind General Ridge. Otherwise, if we continued to attack the enemy positions in front of General Ridge, the casualties would have been too great."

Kazuo Kurihara smiled and said: "Captain, I guess the enemy commander currently defending Shogun Ridge did not expect that our real killer move would be to raid the squadron behind Shogun Ridge."

"Once gunfire sounds from behind Jiangjun Ridge, our plan will be successful."

Kazuo Miyatake nodded and said, "Kurihara-kun is right."

"Once gunfire sounds from behind Jiangjun Ridge, the troops in front of me can launch a strong attack at the same time. By pinching them from the front and back, we will definitely capture Jiangjun Ridge."

Kazuo Kurihara nodded and said, "That's what the captain said."

Subsequently, Miyatake Kazuo commanded the Japanese troops in the front, and continued to feign attack on the garrison position in front of General Ridge, attracting the sight of the garrison in the front, and covering the detour of the Japanese squadron's attack.

More than half an hour later, Chu Yunfei, who had driven in a hurry from Dagu Town, quickly arrived at the bunker headquarters of the 2nd Battalion of the 358th Regiment in Jiangjun Ridge.

After meeting Gu Qing, Chu Yunfei personally looked down the mountain from the observation entrance of his camp headquarters.

I saw only one squadron of Japanese attacking. After fighting for a while, they continued to withdraw.

"How long has this attack lasted?"

Chu Yunfei asked immediately when he saw that the Japanese were in this situation.

"It takes about an hour for a group seat!"

Hearing Chu Yunfei's question, Gu Qing, commander of the second battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, immediately replied.

"Gu Qing, don't you think there's something wrong?"

He pointed at the large Japanese troops far down the mountain, and then said with a frown: "This is an obvious feint attack by the Japanese. It seems to be consuming our ammunition."

"But attacking like this is obviously problematic."

As expected of a veteran on the battlefield, Chu Yunfei, who rushed to Jiangjun Ridge, saw the strangeness of the Japanese attack and immediately realized something was wrong.

"There is a problem, but I don't understand the purpose of the kid's persistent feint attacks!"

Gu Qing said.

"Have you stationed troops on the cliff behind Jiangjun Ridge?"

As if he realized something, Chu Yunfei asked immediately.

"We have sent troops to garrison the cliff behind Jiangjun Ridge. They are about the strength of a squad. Moreover, this squad also has three heavy machine guns pointing at the edge of the cliff. It's no problem, regimental seat."

Gu Qing was not a fool, and immediately replied: "Tuanzuo, are you saying that the Japanese army in the front is feigning an attack to cover their assault troops and climb up from the cliff behind Jiangjun Ridge to attack?".

"Follow me to the cliff behind Jiangjun Ridge!"

Chu Yunfei looked solemn and said immediately.

"yes!"

Gu Qing's expression changed slightly. He obviously felt that this was a possibility. The little devil was best at attacking from the side and behind.

Soon, Chu Yunfei led a security platoon brought from Dagu Town to the cliff behind Jiangjun Ridge.

After Chu Yunfei arrived on the cliff behind Jiangjun Ridge, he quickly walked to the edge of the cliff and squatted down.

Just at this moment, more than 200 Japanese soldiers appeared in the grass about 70 meters away from the bottom of the cliff.

"Pay attention to concealment!"

When Chu Yunfei saw this, he immediately said something and lay down to hide.

The soldiers from a guard platoon behind him immediately lay down on the spot together with Gu Qing, the second battalion commander of the 358th Regiment, to take cover.

"Tuanzuo, this little devil is really planning a side and rear attack!"

Second Battalion Commander Gu Qing looked at the Japs appearing under the cliff in surprise and whispered.

"I also made a guess, but I didn't expect that it was really like this."

Chu Yunfei said solemnly: "I didn't expect that the Japanese commander who attacked Jiangjun Ridge would be willing to use a large force to continuously feign attack on our defensive position in front of Jiangjun Ridge, just to cover an infantry squadron of Japanese soldiers who took a long way from behind Jiangjun Ridge.

Launch a surprise attack below the cliff."

"Once successful, the squad of troops deployed here behind the cliff will not be able to stop so many Japanese attacks!"

Gu Qing nodded and whispered: "Commander, let's fight!".
