Chapter 28: Battle of the Independent Regiment 10-11
10
The commander rushing to support the artillery position came to the general headquarters to report——
All ten artillery pieces in the infantry artillery position were destroyed. A total of 103 officers and soldiers, including the squadron leader and executive officer, were killed and 32 injured.
After receiving the bad news report, Ishii rushed out of the tent angrily, gritted his teeth in front of the independent regiment camp, and yelled twice.
About half an hour later, Shanzi also received a casualty report at the regiment headquarters——
In this attack on the enemy's artillery position, a total of 57 soldiers from the Sharp Knife Team died, including Battalion Commander Song, and 13 commanders and fighters were seriously injured.
After listening to the announcer's report, Shanzi's expression was dull and he didn't say a word for a long time.
The infantry and artillery position was attacked, and Ishii began to wonder whether the independent regiment had been informed of the "Duck Sword" operation in advance, evacuated the station in advance, and lurked nearby, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Ishii's concerns were first denied by Ando.
Ando said: "Reporting to the Major General, before Operation Hidden Sword was confirmed, the subordinate did not know the location of the independent regiment and only communicated the plan of the winter sweep internally."
Ando went on to say: "After the Sword-Drawing Operation was confirmed, in accordance with the confidentiality regulations, the humble position was only responsible for dispatching troops, and no specific operational targets were mentioned, so the independent regiment had no possibility of obtaining intelligence."
Captain Tahara added: "Ando-san is right. It is impossible for Tubal Road to evacuate its garrison."
Ishii asked angrily: "The infantry and artillery positions were attacked. How to explain this?"
Ando thought for a moment and then added: "The scale of the imperial army's troop dispatch is so large that it is not ruled out that local unscrupulous people will report their whereabouts to Tubal Road. From this point of view, it is also possible for the independent group to obtain information."
Ishii sneered: "Tubal Road is not stupid. Since it is possible to obtain intelligence, it is possible to evacuate the camp and use guerrilla tactics to sneak attack us. This is a huge disadvantage."
So Ishii decided to notify all ministries to send out grenade squads and immediately launch artillery bombardments at the independent regiment camp, firstly to verify whether Tubal Road had evacuated the camp, and secondly to test whether there were any ambush around the camp.
At about four o'clock in the morning, forty grenade launchers launched bombardments from all sides, and grenades fell into the independent regiment's camp one after another like meteors.
Although the maximum range of the grenade is only 700 meters, and most of the impact points of the artillery shells are far away from the barracks, the dense explosions have the potential to flatten the earth, which is shocking.
Moreover, Ishii's move of throwing stones to ask for direction was unexpected and had not been included in the independent regiment's plan in advance. No one from No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 positions responded, and they patiently waited for instructions from the regiment headquarters.
However, due to terrain reasons, the Japanese troops on the southern front could only deploy their grenades at Circle Ridge, less than 300 meters away from Position 3.
Jin Ye ignored the situation and immediately instructed the correspondent to pass on the order and let the heavy machine guns in the bunker beat these gangsters hard.
Yanni said: "You can't fight."
Upon hearing Yanni's shouting, Jin Ye yelled: "Wild cat, what do you mean?"
Yanni got even more angry: "Little hedgehog, are you blind? The Japanese only fired a few grenades and haven't started a ground attack yet. Do you know what it means to be stubborn?"
Jin Ye scolded again: "Wild cat, I think your brain is a piece of dregs. It's obvious that you want us to fight the Japanese. Why are you so hesitant?"
There is a saying that the county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. After all, Jin Ye is the landlord on position 3.
Therefore, Yanni did not dare to comb Jinye's hair, and kept nagging her angrily: "Let's fight, let's fight. When the time comes, those who are stubborn will be blamed. Don't hold your ears and cheeks, and let good people be implicated."
So Jin Ye gave the order to the correspondent again: "Beat my aunt to death."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the machine guns in the bunker opened fire, the Japanese grenade squad put away their weapons and ran away.
As soon as he heard that Jin Ye was fighting, Chun'er couldn't hold his breath and immediately ordered the heavy machine gun to launch a counterattack at the grenade squad 200 meters away.
Just like the No. 3 position, as soon as the gunshots were fired from the No. 4 position, the Japanese ran away.
Until this moment, positions No. 1 and 2 remained unmoved.
11
After the shelling from the north and south stopped, the grenades on the east and west sides of the Japanese army disappeared and they hurriedly returned to the camp. The entire shelling lasted less than two minutes.
At this time, the correspondents sent by the regiment headquarters had arrived at positions one and two, and the other two correspondents were running towards positions three and four.
After a while, when she saw the correspondent jumping into the trench, Yanni scolded her: "Mother, the little devil has been beaten away long ago, why are you here to eat a bird?"
The correspondent was stunned for a moment and kept saying: "Well done, well done."
Yanni was stunned and asked again: "What does it mean to fight well? What does the leader mean?"
The correspondent replied: "The regiment leader asked us to notify each position and resolutely shoot down the enemy's grenade launchers."
Jin Ye was so proud at this moment that he raised his leg and kicked Yanni: "What are you doing, wild cat? I will listen to my aunt from now on, and I guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
The correspondent continued: "The regiment leader also explained that unless the Japanese launch a ground attack and implement the first plan, there is no need to wait for instructions in case of unexpected enemy situations. They will be killed without hesitation, but only bunker firepower can be used."
After listening to Shanzi's instructions, Jin Ye kicked Yanni again: "Wild cat, I said your brain is a piece of shit. Isn't this unfair to you?"
Yanni counterattacked Jin Ye with a punch: "Little hedgehog, you blind cat will catch a dead mouse, okay?"
Jin Ye scolded: "You fart, what is Meng? Only the commander knows, right?"
Yanni smacked her tongue: "If you say you are fat, the more you pant, the worse it will be like a handful of chicken down, which will fly up to the sky when the wind blows."
Jin Ye said: "It's okay if you don't accept it. I'll learn from my aunt in the future."
Yanni refused to accept it and spat.
When the correspondent climbed out of the trench, Jenny jumped out of the trench without saying a word.
Jin Ye turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yanni said: "You can't control it when you relieve yourself and pee."
A few meters away from the trench, Yanni and the correspondent chatted for a moment, then hurried back.
Jin Ye asked again: "Why are you back so soon?"
Yanni replied casually: "I've finished my personal affairs, can't I come back?"
Jin Ye said: "Who are you kidding? Even if you pee in your crotch, it may not happen so quickly."
But Yanni said: "Ducks don't pee. They have their own paths. You don't need to worry about it."
Jin Ye sneered, then opened his mouth and blew his cold hands with the hot air from his mouth.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Feng appeared on the edge of the trench behind Yanni and called Yanni out of the trench.
After another three or two minutes, Yanni returned from the edge of the forest and shouted directly to Jinye: "Report to the company commander, Political Commissar Jiang is waiting for you by the edge of the forest. Go quickly."
Seeing how serious Yanni was, Jin Ye blinked his big round eyes: "What's the matter?"
Yanni said: "Entrusted by the regiment leader, Political Commissar Jiang came to deliver the top secret order."
Jin Ye did not dare to neglect, and climbed out of the trench while agreeing.
Walking to the edge of the forest, Jinye hurriedly asked: "Yumei, what secret order is conveyed by your fierce eyes?"
Yumei said: "Jin Ye, I am now announcing to you on behalf of the headquarters, please withdraw from the position immediately."
Jin Ye was stunned for a moment: "What happened?"
Yumei continued: "The Independence Regiment clearly stipulates that lesbians are not allowed to participate in combat during menstruation. Don't you know that?"
When Jin Ye heard about this, he cursed bitterly: "Wild cat, my aunt has long seen that she is not a lovely bird. That's right, she is really a black crow."
Yumei's face tightened and she scolded: "Wang Jinye, you still have the nerve to curse. This is an order from the regiment. Leave quickly."
Seeing Yumei's anger, Jinye softened his tone and said, "Yumei, don't listen to the wild cats. In fact, this time it's very worry-free and it has been cleaned up long ago."
Yumei smiled contemptuously: "Jinye, don't treat Yumei as a fool. If I'm not wrong, you have changed the dirty cloth three times from the beginning to now, and Yanni was present every time."
Jin Ye was impatient at this time: "If it's clean, it's clean. What else do you need?"
Yumei was also impatient: "Jinye, please be more serious. Don't you have to let Zikai make a trip?"
Upon hearing that Yumei was bluffing people with Shanzi, Jinye was even more confused: "Yumei, since it's about this, Jinye also made it clear. If he must withdraw from the position, unless he has a physical examination certificate, or just two words, there is no way.
."
Just such a word that was neither gentle nor serious made Yumei choke and breathless. She finally recovered, but she saw that Jinye had already walked far away.
Shanzi didn't know why Yanni asked Yumei to go to the No. 3 position. Ever since Yumei left the regiment, everyone, including Zhao Danian, had been wondering.
At this time, Yumei asked Shanzi and Zhao Danian to go out to the regiment headquarters again to tell Jin Ye's situation.
Without allowing Shanzi to express his position, Zhao Danian said: "I agree with Political Commissar Jiang. Even if someone is sent to carry him, Company Commander Wang must be carried to the dormitory."
Shanzi said: "She has a bad temper. She fights for three points when she is unreasonable, and she is even more unforgiving when she is justified. If she annoys you, she will start a fight with you. Whoever can make peace with you, let her be."
Yumei's face was full of gloom: "Zikai, as the head of the independent group, don't you feel callous to treat a lesbian like this?"
Shanzi asked angrily: "What is coldness? Forcing one's will is the real coldness."
After saying that, Shanzi suddenly turned around and went straight back to the regiment headquarters, but from this moment on, his heart suddenly became heavy, with a hint of pain from time to time.
