Major General Matsuo personally led his troops to attack the Kitayama defense line, but was stubbornly resisted by the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army.
After the Japanese bombardment, they quickly occupied the foot of the mountain. The construction of the fortifications was to defend the outside world and had no defensive effect. Before the Japanese army could stand firm, bullets on the mountain attacked like locusts, and the Japanese army on the position immediately fell down.
The Japanese had just set up machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars. The New Fourth Army dropped several rounds of grenades from a high point, causing the Japanese to overturn, causing heavy casualties.
Commander Sun of the New Fourth Army accepted Jiang Hailong's suggestion: be prepared for a protracted war, try to save himself and eliminate the enemy. The troops should use mountain dangers and a large amount of ammunition supported by independent brigades to flexibly and maneuver to attack the enemy, and do not charge and fight with the Japanese. His
Except for machine gunners, each soldier had an average of five bullets. After the attack, he fought with the Japanese in a hand-to-hand battle. He was not allowed to do so. All the soldiers were not afraid of death, but their weapons and sting skills were not as good as those of the Japanese. In the past, they fought against each other and were injured and killed.
Often one to three to one to five.
A turnaround battle was fought today. The troops lost a company during the Japanese artillery bombardment. The Japanese attacked less than 100 casualties, and the total casualties were more than 200. According to the observation post, nearly 400 Japanese were killed and injured.
After fighting for a whole day, he blocked the Japanese at the foot of the mountain and couldn't move forward. Commander Sun was so happy that he couldn't stop and took the regiment cadres down to various battalions to inspect and praise the officers and soldiers. The battalion commanders all said that he had never fought.
After such a happy battle, the ammunition can be used with ease. Please rest assured that the regiment commander will never let the Japanese attack.
Commander Sun seriously reminded me that I should save some ammunition, aim at the enemy and then fight, and live a long and steady life. Don’t be a prodigal son for me, and just take care of my family!
The correspondent was out of breath and stumbled over and said, "Report, report to the leader of the group."
Captain Sun was impatient and scolded: "What are you panic? Where can you tell me so much nonsense? Tell me what the situation is right!"
The correspondent took a breath and said, "It's good news. Commander Gong from the Independent Brigade has brought their company and a transportation team to us again!"
There was a burst of cheers in the army, and Commander Sun and the battalion commanders rushed over to greet them.
Commander Gong, the Dejiao Company and a transport team of 100 people, carried ammunition boxes, and thirty mortars along the mountain road to the New Fourth Army's garrison. When he saw Commander Sun, he hurriedly raised his hand and saluted: "Report to the old commander, I'm ordered to come and give it to me."
You sent 150 boxes of ammunition and thirty mortars." Company Commander Gong was one of the New Fourth Army cadres who were secretly sent to the Independent Brigade that day.
Commander Sun smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work, you can take a break. Wow, your army does not have so many mortars to support us, this is a treasure!"
Company Commander Gong said: "This is what we seized from the puppet army last night. The spy company also touched twenty gates from the Japanese. We are not short of this thing." Seeing that the people around him were full of surprise, he said vividly.
Last night, the Independent Brigade captured more than 400 puppet troops, killed an artillery battalion of the Japanese, and also held the sheep and touched back dozens of boxes of shells. Three sniper platoons and shots in the east and west, causing the Japanese to be restless all night.
.
Commander Sun laughed and said, "You are so awesome. These Kwantung Army came here to clear the enemy. The Japanese suffered a great loss yesterday, and they will definitely take revenge today. We killed 400 Japanese, you
Today is the main attack direction of the Japanese. I wonder what the situation is?"
Company Commander Gong said lightly: "The Japanese we eliminated today are not two thousand, but a thousand in size." Seeing that people's eyes were half-believing and half-doubted, he arranged for the brigade commander to bury Japanese alive in Tianshan Valley, and designed to put two Japanese squadrons in the jungle.
The process of transforming into ashes was briefly explained.
The cadres of the New Fourth Army were stunned when they heard this, and they seemed to be saying that the war could be fought like this!
Commander Sun waved his hand and said, "The Independent Brigade is good, we are fighting well. You battalion commanders go and call people, each battalion will receive ten mortars and fifty boxes of ammunition."
"Yes!" Several battalion commanders jumped and ran back to call people, fearing that the things they gave to them would be taken away by others if they were slow to move.
Commander Gong pointed to the transport team he brought and said, "They are all puppet army prisoners of war captured last night. They are strong and most of them have combat experience. Brigade Commander Jiang said, you have few people, and this battle will be detrimental.
, The New Fourth Army will do ideological work, and you can mobilize as many people as you can stay."
Commander Sun's eyes shone and immediately led the cadres to the transportation team, saying that the brothers had worked hard, shook hands with them one by one, chatted with them, talked about the optimistic situation of China's victory and Japanese invaders' defeat, and gave them a tea cup
In the middle of the game, they were warmly invited to fight back and become a Chinese soldier with a sense of honor, and took up weapons to join the New Fourth Army and the Japanese.
The prisoners of war were flattered and moved to tears when they saw the leader of the regiment to serve tea and water to shake hands with them and mobilized them. Their former regiment commanders were enough to shake hands and talk, and they even met each other.
It’s hard, people treat themselves as human beings. On the spot, fifty or sixty people signed up to join the New Fourth Army, and were immediately taken away by cadres to distribute guns and clothing.
Fierce gunfire sounded, and the Japanese army launched a new round of attack.
Company Commander Gong shouted: "Prepare for battle!" Regardless of Captain Sun's dissuasion, he led the Dejiao Company to rush to the position.
Two brigades of Japanese troops howled and charged up the mountain under the cover of artillery fire. A dense mortar shell was smashed at the Japanese in the head like hail. Several of the most fierce machine guns were blown to pieces.
The Japanese were very fierce, and they ignored their lives and death. They relied on the advantage of many people to form scattered soldiers and rushed to the New Fourth Army positions. The machine gunners had no obstacles to cover them and even put the gun on the bodies of the accomplices to shoot.
The German military company went around the flank of the position, with a mortar and a submachine gun suddenly fired, knocking down the Japanese who were rushing forward. A cheer sounded from the New Fourth Army's position.
When the Japanese light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers were frantically retaliated against each other, the German Equipment Company had been transferred to the position of the 1st Battalion of the New Fourth Army.
Major General Matsuo is getting more and more frightened. He finds that dozens of mortars and many automatic firearms have been added to the New Fourth Army's position. He hears the sound of gunfire, which is actually German submachine gun. He sent a remaining infantry brigade around him again.
Going to the battlefield, I want to take the position at any cost with a corps.
The Dejiao Company and the New Fourth Army Independent Corps set off their stance and prepared to fight the Japanese. Suddenly, the clamor sounded at the Japanese position, and the Japanese retreated like a tide.
General Ikeda Nakakuro received bad news that his troops were severely damaged by the independent brigade and ordered Major General Matsuo to retreat quickly. He wanted to concentrate his troops to destroy the independent brigade that poses the greatest threat to him, and then turn around and deal with the New Fourth Army.
