After the harassing troops of the Independent Brigade returned to the camp, the engineers set out immediately, laying mines and digging pits on the road into the mountain. Luda and a group of hunter-born soldiers re-engage in employment, arranged animal traps and traps in the forest, and by the way
Using the newly learned knowledge, a group of thunders were laid. In the past, they hunted wild beasts with four legs, but now they hunted Japanese devils with two legs. They were all very serious and used their unique skills in their lives.
The Japanese army was tortured by the independent brigade for a night and was exhausted physically and mentally. General Ikeda looked as if he had a blue face when he saw the casualties statistics report. The artillery battalion was almost completely destroyed, and the artillery was more dead than dead. A regiment of the Imperial Army was wiped out, 400
The rest of the officers and soldiers were taken away by the enemy and their weapons. The Imperial Army soldiers who died under the spears had two more than a full teams.
Analysis of the 7.92mm warhead excavated from the soldier's corpse was fired by the advanced German kar Mauser 98k sniper rifle. This gun has stable performance, high shooting accuracy, is equipped with four to six times the scope, and has a fifteen rounds per minute.
The initial velocity of the bullet is 755 meters per second, and the effective range can reach 800 meters, which is more than one level higher than the Japanese 97 sniper rifle transformed from the 38th rifle.
Judging from the shooting time and the number of Japanese soldiers shot, Ikeda was that the enemy's sniper rifle was not one person but hundreds of people! It seemed that the mountain was full of dangers and was full of terrifying steps.
After discussing with the staff for a while, General Ikeda launched an attack and decided to adopt the old routine that the Japanese army had tried and tested. The cannons were opened and the troops followed. Tanks and the few remaining heavy artillery were difficult to transport into the mountain, and they could only play a role at this time.
.I hope to eliminate some enemy troops, destroy a large number of fortifications, and reduce casualties in the offensive troops of the Imperial Army.
All the cannons that Ikeda Division could fire were slammed into the mountains, thundering, and many small hills were flattened.
The officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade had already retreated to a safe area without any casualties. The thick hidden bunker was basically safe and sound, but many open-air fortifications were destroyed, and the mines buried by the engineers were detonated in large numbers.
As soon as the artillery fire stopped, General Ikeda sat in the formation at the foot of the mountain to command. Major General Matsuo led more than 10,000 Japanese troops to launch a wave attack on the mountain. The officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade faced such a large number of enemy troops for the first time, and the new recruits were trembling on their calves. The mountains were filled with fields.
All the Japanese were squirming, and the scene was very scary.
The mines were basically removed by artillery fire, and the Japanese army successfully advanced one kilometer. However, the road was bumped by artillery fire and mines, and the soldiers were exhausted by the independent brigade for one night, so the Japanese marched slowly.
While Jiang Hailong arranged troops to block the mountainside, he asked the engineers to repair the bombed fortifications and bury landmines on key roads. Thousands of people blocked the attack of the Japanese on the flat ground and he was not sure, and there was a dangerous bunker at the door of his house.
Fortifications are another matter. He personally set up several agencies to give the Japanese troops entering the mountains a warning and boost the morale of his troops.
The more the Japanese army walked forward, the more dangerous the mountains and dense the forests and the roads were rugged. The troops marching in the woods encountered unprecedented troubles. A Japanese squad leader was stuck in his calf by an animal clip, and he was so painful that he dragged the animal clip and howled on the ground.
Rolling. This kind of animal clip is used to deal with tigers and wild boars. The iron clips are intertwined with canine teeth and are as sharp as serrated. After being clamped, they cause comminuted fractures. One leg is considered useless.
A soldier tripped over a slap of stakes, and sharp stakes fell from the sky, nailing him and the two Japanese beside him to the ground. Blood was like a spring, and it was terrible.
Many Japanese were unable to guard against falling into a trap that had been cleverly disguised. The sharp bamboo pieces were pierced through their limbs, and the bamboo pieces were coated with lime. After they melted into the wound, the Japanese made them cry and called their parents.
The tripping thunder, hanging thunder, and thunder in the forest caused countless casualties and woundings. The Japanese army was simply afraid of the forest. A serious wounded man needed two soldiers to be served down the mountain to treat him. The increasing number of wounded men consumed a lot of combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.
.
The defense line of the Third Regiment of the Independent Brigade was attacked by a Japanese army's regiment for more than 3,000 people. The 3-to-1 difference in strength made the third regiment very hard to fight. With the dangerous mountain and sufficient ammunition, the Third Regiment repelled the Japanese army's two charges condescendingly.
The front of the position was filled with Japanese corpses.
The Japanese Kwantung Army really had two brushes, light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars were shot up fiercely and accurately. The third regiment's position was blown to death, with more than 400 casualties. The stretcher team came up and
One trip.
Seeing that it was difficult to break through the frontal attack, the Japanese corps captain changed to a detour on both wings and attacked at multiple points. The forces of the third regiment were dispersed, and they were a little stretched and could not handle it. The commander of Li Tie's army was so anxious that he sweated heavily, and personally picked up a submachine gun and brought him a hand.
Guard soldiers and agency personnel came to the position to fill the gap.
Fortunately, the spy company arrived in time. Wang Dali's men brought forty mortars and dozens of boxes of shells. They came up and bombed them indiscriminately. A fire wall was blown up in front of the position, temporarily suppressing the Japanese attack.
.At this time, Jiang Hailong issued an order: quickly retreat to Bujiantian Valley.
After all the shells were fired, the regiment headquarters, artillery and wounded personnel were removed, the spy company and the two battalions left behind defended for another hour. At the command of the deputy regiment commander, all the soldiers quickly dropped two rounds of grenades.
More than a thousand grenades flew out, and they were covered in darkness, covering the sky, some exploded in the air, and most of them fell to the ground and bloomed, causing flames to soar into the sky, and thick smoke rolled, which was shocking.
All the Japanese army lay down, lying on the ground to avoid being bombed for a long time, but they dared not move. When the explosion stopped, the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, and they found that there was no movement in the enemy's position. The Japanese army was afraid that the enemy would cheat, so they rushed into the position carefully in a battle formation.
I found that there were only a large number of shells inside and there was no one.
After paying the price of the lives of hundreds of soldiers, they finally captured a position of the enemy. The Japanese corps captain immediately reported the victory to Shangfeng: the position had been occupied, the enemy fled in a hurry, and asked for tactical guidance. Major General Matsuo replied: Lead his troops to pursue the victory, and the position was from
Follow-up troops take over.
The spy company and the two battalions of the Third Regiment had just withdrawn. The Japanese corps captain could see them with his naked eyes and immediately ordered his subordinates to pursue them. He kept urging the troops to speed up, and firstly, he was determined to eliminate this group in large quantities.
The second thing that the Imperial Army damaged was to follow their footsteps to discover the enemy's nest. What is the taboo of going deep into the army alone? This Japanese Kwantung Army colonel did not consider it at all.
The Japanese army was fast enough, and the two battalions and spy companies of the Third Regiment walked out of Tianshan Valley, so they ran into the entrance of the valley. The enemy passed by since then, and it was impossible for landmines to be buried on the road. Although the terrain here is dangerous,
It was a narrow road between the two mountains, but the mountains on both sides were too high and steep, which was not conducive to the ambush of the army. The Japanese army rushed into the valley without any scruples. But they knew that Jiang Hailong carefully prepared a big meal for them.
The intention of letting their troops retreat from here is to lead them on a path of no return.
