"Woyupo is a mountainous area on the east side of the highway, with an altitude of more than 300 meters. From a high position, several heavy machine guns are set up on the mountain, which is enough firepower to block the highway below."

After a pause for a few seconds, Qianyejiro continued with a solemn expression.

"Chief of Staff, Woyupo was captured by unknown enemy forces."

Knowing that the situation was urgent, the captain of the 3rd Infantry Battalion and Major Fuji Shinichi immediately called for battle: "While the enemy troops from the direction of Fenglindu have not reached here, Chief of Staff, my command post will recapture Woyupo."

"Hefuji-san, please."

Qianyejiro did not disagree at all, but said to Shinichi Wato with solemn eyes: "If we don't take Woyupo back, we will be in big trouble next."

"Chief of Staff, please rest assured. I will immediately command the Third Infantry Brigade to go north. There are only more than 700 imperial troops left here. Chief of Staff, hold on!"

Wato Shinichi paused and stood upright with a solemn expression.

"He Teng-san, you can rest assured here for the time being. It is impossible for the enemy troops on the south bank of the stone bridge to cross the river and attack here."

Qianyejiro said with solemn eyes, "You, set off immediately!"

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

Watō Shinichi stopped talking nonsense, immediately stood at attention and saluted again, commanded the headquarters' infantry brigade of more than a thousand people under the night, and immediately headed north along the highway.

Qianyejiro, on the other hand, commanded the more than 700 remaining Japanese soldiers to seize the time to build fortifications and rely on some mountains on both sides of the road to form a roughly circular defensive camp.

At this time, the 18th Air Assault Battalion of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army that had captured Woyupo, under the command of battalion commander Xu Dahu, had divided its forces to seize the commanding heights on Woyupo Mountain, and set up light and heavy machine guns, aiming at the road below.

.

Under the night, Xu Dahu stood at the highest point of Woyu Slope, and then said to the communications soldier holding a radio on the side: "Report to the regiment, our 18th Air Assault Battalion successfully parachuted into Woyu Slope and occupied it."

"Please rest assured, regiment! In addition, please send a report to Commander Li Yunlong of the new friendly regiment to inform you of the situation here."

The communications soldier nodded, stood at attention and said, "Yes, battalion commander!" and immediately went to send the report.

A few minutes later, inside the temporary bunker headquarters of the 303rd Regiment in the south gate of Jinghai County.

"Bahbaba!!!"

After Xu Rui received the report from Gu Jiaping, the communications staff officer, that Xu Dahu had sent a telegram saying that he had successfully airborne to Woyupo, he couldn't help laughing and clapped his hands, and then said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "Woyupo has been commanded by Xu Dahu. The 18th

Five hundred brothers from the Air Assault Battalion have taken over, hahaha, and then the rest of the 41st Infantry Regiment has been blocked."

"Hey, regimental commander, it's very likely that the rest of the 41st Infantry Regiment will be annihilated next."

Luo Youdu, chief of staff of the 303rd Regiment, nodded and said.

"That's right."

Xu Rui nodded, and then said: "Even if Taro Nagata, an old devil, learns of the changes in the rear and immediately mobilizes his troops to go south, it will be too late."

"Based on the time, Commander Li Yunlong has already commanded his second battalion to cross the river from Fenglin to the north bank, and kill on the north bank of the stone bridge of Nanliujiang River. It is estimated that they will reach there around 11:30 and capture Woyupo.

Although the 18th Air Assault Battalion only has 500 troops, it should have no problem relying on Woyupo to block the northward counterattack of the remaining Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment."

Luo Youdu looked at the map placed on the table of the bunker headquarters and said: "You are saying that the remainder of the Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment will send troops north to counterattack Woyupo?"

"certainly!"

Xu Rui nodded and said: "If I were the commander of the remaining Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment, I would do the same thing."

"You can't be attacked from two sides! Unless the Japs risk their lives and escape from the mountains on both sides of the road, but the Japs won't do that. They are not familiar with the place!"

Luo Youdu nodded, and then said: "Then send a telegram to Xu Dahu to hold the occupied Woyu Slope, and then wait for the leader of the new friendly regiment Li Yunlong to command his second battalion to kill near the north bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, and then go south from Woyu Slope.

onslaught.".

"With the combat power of our air assault battalion and the friendly Second Battalion of the New First Regiment, it should not be a problem to attack and annihilate the rest of the Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment whose morale has been shaken. What's more, the actual strength of the Second Battalion of the New First Regiment is one thousand people

Woolen cloth."

Xu Rui nodded, and then immediately said to Gu Jiaping, the communications staff officer, "Follow the chief of staff's words, send a report to Xu Dahu immediately."

"Let him give me a good beating!"

Communications staff officer Gu Jiaping nodded and said, "Yes, regimental seat." He immediately walked aside and directly ordered the communications soldier to send a report to Xu Dahu.

In contrast, Xu Rui felt happy when he learned the good news that Woyupo had been captured by the 18th Air Force Assault Battalion.

Upon learning that Woyupo had been captured by an unknown enemy force, Qianye Jiro, the chief of staff of the 41st Infantry Regiment, turned his gaze in the direction of Woyupo.

Woyupo was captured by the enemy, which basically blocked him and the rest of the 41st Infantry Regiment in the narrow width of less than five kilometers between the north bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge and Woyupo.

Once Woyupo cannot be recaptured, it will be really embarrassing!

"Wado Shinichi, you must take back Woyu Slope for me!"

Standing at the temporary command position on the roadside, the Chief of Staff of the 41st Infantry Regiment Qianye Jiro muttered with a solemn expression.

And time continued to pass amidst the Japs' murmurings.

The evening came to eleven thirty-nine.

More than 1,100 Japanese soldiers from the Third Infantry Battalion of the Japanese 41st Infantry Regiment, under the command of the battalion leader and Major Fuji Shinichi, marched north to Woyupo.

"Boohoo, boomboo!"

Wato Shinichi's command post rushed to the road at the foot of Woyupo Mountain. Before he could prepare to launch an attack formation, a series of piercing screams immediately reached Wato Shinichi's ears.

"No, shelling!!"

Hearing the ear-piercing scream, Kazuto Shinichi's complexion immediately changed, and he immediately ordered, "Lie down and take cover!"

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

When the ear-piercing scream was heard, it took only a few seconds for the shells to fall.

Immediately, bursts of violent explosions exploded among the Japanese troops of Heteng Brigade.

It was the artillerymen of the 18th Air Assault Battalion of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army who carried out the bombardment. They used ten 82mm caliber mortars brought up to conduct bombardment from a high position on Woyupo Mountain.

Ten 82mm caliber mortars can be carried and brought over by the Falcon rotorcraft.

Therefore, before the Japanese soldiers of Heteng Infantry Battalion could form an attack formation, they were immediately bombarded by 82mm mortars from the 18th Air Assault Battalion on Woyupo Mountain in the dark of night, causing the team to become confused for a moment.

Especially Wato Shinichi did not expect that the enemy troops who captured Woyupo would actually have so many large-caliber mortars.

And in his hands, he only had a few mortars, more than a dozen heavy machine guns, and more than 20 light machine guns, and his firepower was not as good as others.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom!!!"

"Da da da, da da da!!!"

Immediately after the first round of shelling began, the soldiers of the 18th Airborne Assault Battalion defending Woyupo Mountain immediately concentrated their light and heavy machine guns and fired fiercely at the Japanese troops coming from the south on the road down the mountain.

Under the night, there were dense flames of ammunition, and the whizzing shells, and the screams of the beaten and exploded Japanese soldiers immediately spread.

"Mortars, go up, shelling to suppress the enemy's artillery positions on Woyupo Mountain, machine guns, machine gun fire, suppressing the enemy's machine gun fire points."

After coming back to his senses, he lay down and hid in safety, and Shinichi immediately roared and ordered to attack.
