The 48th Army Special Agent Battalion of the Xiejiaqiao garrison is worthy of being an iron army and a well-trained force.
After entering Xiejiaqiao, they deployed a large number of fortifications.
Along the east side of Xiejiaqiao, there are civil and engineering fortifications. The houses in Xiejiaqiao are also opened up to form a crossfire point.
Although the Japanese artillery fire destroyed some fortifications, the Japanese army wanted to use artillery fire to level the entire Xiejiaqiao, which was impossible without several tons of artillery shells.
Yamada Kaiji ordered his troops to venture into Xiejiaqiao. As a result, they encountered a tenacious blockade by the defenders on the outskirts of the position they thought had been destroyed.
The Japanese officer who was ordered was also a fool. Perhaps he also thought that the enemy had been almost wiped out by the imperial artillery shells. So when he encountered an obstruction, he actually ordered all the Japanese to charge.
The defenders opened fire with various light and heavy machine guns at the same time. Dozens of Japanese soldiers acted like fools when they saw their Amaterasu.
The Japanese commander reacted and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat. As a result, dozens more people died.
Yamada was so angry that he directly beheaded the commander of the forward troops, and then ordered the First Battalion and the Second Battalion to outflank Xiejiaqiao on the left and right.
Yamada Kaiji had absolute confidence in this battle, whether it was from the intelligence from aerial reconnaissance or what he saw with his own eyes. There were not many Chinese defenders in Xiejiaqiao.
He used three brigades to attack Xiejiaqiao from three directions. It didn't take until noon for him to raze Xiejiaqiao to the ground.
It's just that when the old devil was feeling complacent, he didn't expect that Duanwu had already brought someone to touch him.
The Japanese's outer security posts were all touched down silently by Zhou Dabang and Sun Shiyu.
Duanwu quietly advanced the troops to a position two kilometers away from the Japanese artillery position.
At a position 500 to 800 meters away from the enemy artillery position, two Japanese squadrons were building fortifications.
So from this point of view, the little Japanese were indeed well-trained. Even though they did not encounter enemy attacks and attacked Xiejiaqiao with an absolute advantage, they were still digging trenches and building fortifications very carefully.
Duanwu called Sun Shiyu over and ordered: "Old Sun, take four mortars to the south slope and launch an artillery bombardment against the Japanese defending the artillery position. The harder the attack, the better."
Sun Shiyu smiled naively and said: "Tuanzuo, you might as well let me take over the kid's artillery position directly."
"Shit, you old boy are going to break a cannon for me, and I will use you as a cannon. Remember, the cannons on the top of the mountain belong to me."
Duan Wu started scolding him directly. Anyone who dared to use his cannon at this time would risk his life.
But at this time, Sun Shiyu looked at the defensive position halfway up the mountain outside the forest, but shook his head and said: "Tuanzuo, the terrain is very unfavorable to us. Look, the whole mountain is bare and there is no cover at all. How can we rush up?
Why do the little devils dare to build the artillery position on the top of the mountain? Is it because this is the only commanding height nearby and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack?"
"You don't have to worry about this. You just need to hold back the Japs on the south side for me."
Speaking of this, Duanwu said to Xie Jinyuan again: "Old Xie, take it with me..."
At this time, Duanwu wanted to join the independent camp. But think about it, there are not many people left in the independent camp now.
Immediately, Duanwu looked at Fang Shuping, who had escaped with the Independence Group.
The overall strength of Fang Shuping's first reserve battalion is not bad, but there are not many people left. There are three companies in total, and now there are not even two platoons left.
Duanwu thought for a while and said: "The 1st Reserve Battalion of the 40th Division was temporarily incorporated into the 1st Battalion of the 88th Division Independent Regiment. The 1st Battalion was reorganized from the original Independent Battalion of the Independent Regiment. The battalion commander is Sun Shiyu. Lao Xie, please take temporary command. Remember
It's a feint. I don't want to see casualties.
You can use the cannonballs as you like and shoot the bullets as you like. But there is only one thing. Our people are all treasures. Don’t let me kill them all. These people are the seeds of our independent regiment."
"Don't worry, everyone."
Xie Jinyuan accepted the order and left with a battalion with Sun Shiyu.
At this time, Duanwu ordered Zhu Shengzhong: "Zhu Shengzhong was appointed as the battalion commander of the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment. All the original new battalions were incorporated into the Second Battalion, including the original Reserve Second Battalion of the 40th Division, and were merged into the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment. Zhu Shengzhong
Unified command.”
(The former battalion commander of the 2nd Reserve Battalion of the 40th Division has been killed in action, so no one has any objection to the Dragon Boat Festival order.)
"Tuanzuo, I, Tuanzuo,..."
At this moment, Zhou Da Bang pointed at himself tightly, meaning that he also wanted an official position.
Duanwu glanced at the brothers from the former Second Battalion. Many of these people were fellow villagers who came out of Duanwu.
There were more than eighty of them at the time. But now, including Zhou Dabang, there are not even eight of them. The remaining people are the deserters who entered the Sixing Warehouse during the Dragon Boat Festival and the ones he rescued before entering the Sixing Warehouse.
people.
The total number of these people is less than thirty.
Duanwu ordered: "Appoint Zhou Dabang as the commander of the special agent company directly under the regiment. The remaining people will be incorporated into the special agent company."
"Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone."
Zhou Dabang nodded tightly and bowed, revealing the true nature of veteran Youzi.
But the secret service camp seems to be full of veterans. Everyone congratulates them on the surface, but behind their smiles there seems to be only one meaning: you are now the company commander, you must be at the forefront in the war, right?
"··················"
Zhou Da Bang was speechless and thought to himself: "Tuanzuo, can you quickly get me some new recruits? Otherwise I won't be able to bear it anymore."
Dragon Boat Festival secretly laughed at Zhou Da stick and reaped the consequences. The tension during the war also disappeared.
But at this time, Duanwu could not relax. What he needed was a mighty army, a force that could win the battle.
He stood up and roared: "Brothers, in today's battle, we will become famous. The enemy's 103rd Brigade is a unit that has just returned from a defeat. He is the meat that is delivered to our mouths.
Rush to the top of the mountain and seize the little Japanese's artillery position, and we can wipe out the enemy's entire brigade.
This is a feat, this is an unprecedented victory!..."
"well!"
At this time, both the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the soldiers of the 40th Division began to roar.
Although their voices were not loud, they were powerful.
"Third brother, can you just give the order? None of the brothers in the 79th Brigade is a coward."
Sun Bo'an patted his chest and promised. The other officers also echoed: "Third brother, just give the order! Brothers will never embarrass you!"
A group of people were noisy.
But Duanwu believed in a big-headed ghost among them. These people are powerful now, but once they encounter a tenacious blockage by the enemy, they will inevitably retreat.
As soon as they retreated, the entire battle situation quickly took a turn for the worse.
Because the enemy's artillery position is the commanding heights. If they can't rush up to it, they will be a living target for the enemy.
The Japanese have four 150mm howitzers, eight 100mm cannons, including twelve 75mm mountain guns, and at least twenty mortars. Once the Japanese artillery position cannot be taken, the independent regiment under Duanwu's command, 79
There is no suspense for the brigade generals, they will all die in Xiejiaqiao!...
