A series of ear-splitting explosions suddenly sounded, and the front slope suddenly burst into flames. The air waves generated by the explosion blew away the surrounding Japanese soldiers.
Suddenly, the entire slope was filled with smoke, and the screams of the Japanese continued throughout the slope.
Under the intensive artillery offensive of the artillerymen of the 28th Regiment, the Japanese soldiers who wanted to charge were immediately pushed back.
…
At the foot of Suolong Mountain, the Japanese troops were in attack position.
"Baga, Baga, Baga, these damn Tubal Roads, where did they get the mortars and grenade launchers from?" Koyama Izumi Taro was so angry that he jumped on the spot.
Wing Chief of Staff Shingo Kanai had a gloomy expression and remained silent.
He never expected that Tuba Road on the mountain would actually hide this trick.
Looking at the soldiers retreating on the mountain, Kanai Shingo knew that the imperial army's plan to break through the enemy's position at once failed.
"Baga, charge, charge quickly!" Koyama Izumi Taro kicked down a fleeing soldier.
But he looked like he was frightened. He didn't even bother to get up and crawled back...
"Bagaya, the Imperial soldiers have all been humiliated by you!" Koyama Izumi Taro was so angry that he yelled.
But once morale is lost, it is difficult to recover in a short period of time.
Just when Koyama Izumi Taro was so angry that he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, the signal soldier behind him suddenly ran over with a strange look on his face.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, we...we received a strange message." The signal soldier looked panicked.
"Baga, what happened!" Koyama Izumi Taro said angrily.
"Your Highness the Prince... His Royal Highness the Prince's jade is broken!" the signal soldier said with a hint of crying in his voice.
"Nani?"
Koyama Izumi Taro and Kanai Shingo's expressions were in an uproar.
Kanai Shingo grabbed the telegram and glanced at it hastily. The telegram clearly stated that the 28th Regiment had killed Prince Komatsu Miyajima Makoto...
"It's over!" There were only these two words in Koyama Izumi Taro's mind at the moment.
He could no longer imagine what kind of anger he would face later.
"Charge, charge quickly! Your Highness the Prince's jade is shattered. Charge with me to avenge His Highness the Prince!"
Koyama Izumi Taro drew out the command sword from his waist, pointed hard at the top of the mountain, and roared with a grin on his face.
"Kill, change, kill, chop up those Chinese pigs on the mountain!"
Hearing this, the remaining Japanese soldiers of the Xiaoshanquan Regiment were a little dazed at first. It took them a while before they came to their senses.
After hearing that His Highness the Prince's jade was broken into pieces, these Japanese soldiers roared on the spot as if they were mourning for their heirs, and immediately picked up their weapons again and charged towards Suolong Mountain.
"Shit, the Japs are charging again!" Zhao Hu looked at the densely packed Japs soldiers at the foot of the mountain and said in surprise.
The number of people charging this time was obviously more than that of the previous wave, even more than twice as many.
"No, the little devils are not in the right mood. Look at them whining and scumming, as if their parents were dead." Zhang Long frowned.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility and looked at Zhao Hu in surprise: "Old Zhao, I understand, our leader succeeded, and the prince has been killed by us!
Otherwise, how could these little devils launch a charge all at once? They probably want to devour us all at once."
"Then what should we do?" Zhao Hu looked down and asked.
"Obey the order and retreat!" Zhang Long said decisively: "Made all our remaining grenades and artillery shells into booby traps to give these Japanese soldiers a good meal!"
"If we withdraw, what if the Japanese come after us?" Zhao Hu was a little worried.
"If we don't withdraw, the regiment leader will definitely think that we are in trouble and will most likely come to rescue us!" Zhang Long said.
"Believe in our leader's abilities and obey his orders."
Seeing Zhao Hu's hesitation, Zhang Long said directly: "Stop dawdling, and set up booby traps while fighting. Whether the things we learned in the manual are useful depends on today's battle!"
After saying that, Zhang Long sneered and looked at the Japanese soldiers charging down the mountain with their buttocks sticking out, just like looking at rats waiting for experiments in the first area.
…
Brigade Headquarters.
The brigade commander frowned and stared at the map in front of him.
The Japanese troops came out in full force for no apparent reason, leading the brigade commander to think that the Japanese were about to launch another major raid.
As a result, the Japanese did not launch an attack on the troops in central Hebei.
In particular, the Japanese radio signal was beeping non-stop. Based on the Japanese military code they had deciphered so far, they learned that this place was called Suolong Mountain.
The brigade commander was thinking about what could happen there, when he suddenly heard a voice coming from his ear.
"Brigadier, we found a strange clear radio signal." A correspondent turned to look at the brigade commander and said.
"What do you care about it?" the brigade commander replied angrily: "Continue to monitor the Japanese radio signals."
However, the correspondent had a serious expression and said seriously: "Brigadier, you'd better take a look for yourself."
While talking, the correspondent had already handed the message to the brigade commander.
When the brigade commander heard this, he frowned slightly and took the message. His face changed slightly and his eyelids twitched twice.
"The 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army led its troops to successfully ambush a Japanese train on the Zhengtai Railway in Suolong, Shanxi today, and successfully killed 518 enemy soldiers.
After the identity is confirmed, this person is the prince of the Japanese royal family, Komatsu Miyajima Makoto, and the 28th Regiment specially reports this book to encourage the Chinese military and civilians to resist Japan and save the country!"
"Brigade commander, this is the message sent by our 28th regiment..." the correspondent said carefully.
Since the advent of radio, all kinds of unencrypted signals have been floating in the air.
His job was to capture the Japanese military's communication signals from these numerous signals, then record them and hand them over to the person responsible for deciphering the messages.
But this time he received a clear message from the recently famous 28th Regiment.
Because he works in the brigade, he is also very familiar with the Japanese stuff. Naturally, he is very clear about what a prince of the Japanese royal family represents.
Let’s not talk about where the 28th Regiment got a radio station.
Simply saying that the 28th Regiment killed a prince is a bit unbelievable.
The brigade commander had a serious expression and his eyes were fixed on the location on the message, Suolong Mountain.
The Japanese army mentioned Suolong Mountain many times in previous telegrams, and the 28th Regiment happened to say that they ambush the Japanese Prince near Suolong Mountain.
The corners of the brigade commander's mouth twitched twice. If nothing else happened, this message should be genuine.
At least the movement of the Japanese around was not fake. It would be an exaggeration to say that the troops were out in full force.
But for such a big matter, the brigade commander couldn't make up his mind for a while.
If this matter is false, he, who has a background in intelligence work, will be completely disgraced.
"Brigadier...what should we do?" the correspondent asked in a low voice.
The brigade commander thought for a moment and said, "Wait, we'll know after a while. If this is true..."
After a pause, the brigade commander continued: "The little devil will definitely continue to increase troops towards Suolong Mountain like crazy!"
The brigade chief of staff asked a little strangely: "Brigade commander, what riddles are you playing? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it? Isn't the 28th regiment Ding Wei's regiment? What happened to them?"
The brigade commander didn't finish speaking and handed the message to the brigade chief of staff.
The brigade chief of staff casually received the message. When he saw that the 28th Regiment had killed a Japanese prince, his expression changed instantly.
