Although the Japs showed great tenacity in Ma Tou Bay, the gap in military strength left no room for them to display the spirit of Bushido. The division commander Ye Zhao personally commanded them and imitated the officers and soldiers of the 36th Brigade in their bravery. Fighting for the lead, as the first company set foot on the land of Ma Tou Bay, then a battalion, and then a regiment, when the thirty-sixth brigade and regiment level organization was settled on the land of Ma Tou Bay, the resistance of the Japanese army disappeared. The enemy seemed powerless. Even if a squadron of Japanese soldiers occupied the terrain, under the superior firepower of the Xuebing Army, the care they could provide from this terrain was limited. The 12th Xuexi Division was from the Cantonese family, and the soldiers were 10 out of 10* * all have combat experience. The cadet army’s monthly exercises include live ammunition projects, so even the new cadets have combat experience. The Japanese army fights fiercely and their marksmanship is particularly accurate. But that It's all during the day, but at night, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is much lower. Night battles can also take advantage of continuous firepower. Think about the effect of hundreds of Wei Qing assault rifles firing continuously at the same time. , no different from the volley fired by a machine gun company or even a machine gun regiment. The Japanese patrol persisted for only a quarter of an hour before being defeated. When the main force of the Japanese army came to support, the regiment-organized troops of the student army had successfully landed, and once the student soldiers With an absolute advantage in numbers, the Japanese army had very little room to display.
When the fierce battle in Ma Tou Bay was in full swing, the main force of the Japanese army in Xingzi County finally received the news. After discussion, the two captains did not dare to let the soldiers come over, so they took the lead in leading the troops to rush over. What greeted them was that Ma Tou Bay had been completely annihilated. The Japanese Army’s 36th School Brigade,
Luck plays a big factor in fighting at night. Although there are flares to assist, people's field of vision cannot be as wide as during the day. Therefore, the battle lasted for more than an hour, and the two sides were still in balance.
The raid turned into an encounter. Although Ye Zhao was unwilling to accept it, he had no choice. He thought for a while and finally sent electricity to the 35th Brigade, asking the 35th Brigade to abandon Duchang and march directly to Xingzi County at dawn. In the future, the Japanese troops in Xingzi County will be completely annihilated, and then they will attack Jiujiang with heavy troops.
Ye Zhaohexue's 36th Brigade had not yet been able to open up a situation in Xingzi County. In Yanlie Mountain, the Japanese sneak attack force arrived. Under the leadership of Haneda, a group of Japanese soldiers rowed small boats and rode on one of the few motorized sailing ships. , and soon appeared on the lake below Yanlie Mountain,
After Meng Kailan led the 122nd Regiment to support Shi Zhongshan, only one squad under the brigade security company was left on duty in Yanlie Mountain. The squad leader was named Ma Changchun. Ma Changchun had just celebrated his 23rd birthday. After the 122nd Regiment left, he He convened a short pre-war meeting with all the soldiers in the class, and he said: "Brothers, the Brigade took the 122nd Regiment to support Shizhongshan and handed over Yanlie Mountain to us. The Japanese army is attacking Shizhongshan with all its strength. If there is no accident, There will be no fighting here. It can be said that now, our place is the safest and safest in Hukou County. However, we cannot take any chances because of this. If the little devils make a surprise attack here, we will Yanlie Mountain is the only defense force. Brothers, if this happens, it will be our opportunity. If the little devils send out hundreds of people, but we can hold it, think about it, what kind of share it is. Credit.”
Ma Changchun's words were actually just unintentional words. What he didn't expect was that he actually made a crow's mouth and actually hit the mark. At about nine o'clock, he was sitting under a dim light Under the incandescent lamp, I was looking at a combat manual issued internally by the Xuebing Army. Suddenly, deputy squad leader Zhang Haonai hurried over to report: "Squad leader, there is a situation."
"What's going on?" He immediately followed Zhang Haonai to the front line. There, Chen Ermin, a trainee serving as a lookout, pointed to the water in the distance and said, "Squad leader, look." He looked over and saw several dark figures heading towards this As the car approached, he held his breath silently, raised his ears, and heard the slight roar of the motor. His face suddenly changed color. What he was most worried about actually happened. At this moment, he didn't know how to evaluate his mouth. ,
"Squad leader, what should I do?" There are only thirteen people in total, and he is the highest officer here. Facing the questioning looks of the young students, Ma Changchun felt pressure like never before.
All units at the company level and above in the cadet army are equipped with walkie-talkies, but they are just a squad, but they are not yet able to enjoy this treatment. The first thing Ma Changchun thought of was to notify the brigade commander immediately. However, because there was no walkie-talkie, if he wanted to If they send someone to notify them, it means that they have one less person here. Under the current situation, one more person will have more combat power, and more combat power can delay a little more time. After a brief and intense thinking, he , quickly made a decision: "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the soil. Brothers, get ready to fight. We are learning from the army, and there are no cowards."
A short speech, a simple decision, but he made his determination clear to everyone. The soldiers of the second squad gathered around him. Hearing this, they all raised their chests high and said firmly: "Squad leader, we listen to you. , We learn from the army, there are no cowards.",
Haneda stood on the front deck of the front sailboat. He looked at the majestic Yanlie Mountain in the night, and suddenly said to the captain Xiao Linjue beside him: "Xiao Lin, do you think there are still Chinese troops on Yanlie Mountain? .”
Xiao Lin felt that he was an honest child and answered honestly: "I don't know."
Haneda didn't need his answer in the first place. He said: "There must be some, but the number will not be large. Hmm, Mr. Nakajima is really too conservative. If he launched the offensive at Shizhong Mountain and Yanle Mountain at the same time a few days in advance, how could it happen now? Falling into such a passive situation, okay, tell me below and prepare to fight. The sooner the battle is resolved, the better. Next, we have to go to Shizhong Mountain."
Thinking about it in Haneda, even if there is a battle in Yanlie Mountain, it will end soon. His real battlefield is not in Yanlie Mountain, but in Shizhong Mountain. By then, their army will appear in Shizhong Mountain as a surprise force. Think about it , because his troops suddenly burst out from behind the Chinese army, and the battle situation in Shizhongshan changed accordingly, he couldn't help but crack his lips and show a proud smile, "Asai Kurataka, he was born late." He thought like this, Looking at the lonely black shadow of Yanlie Mountain, I felt more and more proud.
Yanlie Mountain, on a sniper position on the mountainside, led by Ma Changchun, the soldiers of the second squad checked the magazines of the submachine guns, and put all the grenades on their bodies in front of them, getting ready for battle. The river at the foot of the mountain On the beach, the Japanese ship docked. A black figure jumped off the ship, and another. Gradually, at least a few hundred Japanese soldiers gathered on the beach. These Japanese soldiers dispersed in turn. About ten minutes later, the first group The Japs started to move towards the mountain. Suddenly, a flashlight came on. The Japs actually used the flashlight.
"The little devil is too arrogant." A soldier said,
Zhang Haonai glared at him and shouted: "Stop talking, no one will think you are mute."
The soldier stuck out his tongue and closed his mouth,
There are only a few soldiers who are as relaxed as him. There are too many Japs. Many soldiers are very nervous because of this. They hold their guns tightly and occasionally look at Ma Changchun not far away. Many of them feel uncomfortable. He couldn't help but licked his lips with his tongue, and then turned his gaze to the mountain road.
The sniper position was chosen by Ma Changchun himself. The reason why he chose this place was to catch the Japs by surprise. Their number was really too small, so it was particularly important to take the Japs by surprise and inflict heavy damage. Only those who were caught by surprise at the beginning Only by getting through the little devil can they delay as much time as possible. As for whether Brigadier Meng will send troops to come back after hearing the abnormal noise here, that is not the scope of their consideration.
The Japanese army began to climb the mountain. Regardless of whether there are enemies on Yanlie Mountain, Yanlie Mountain must be captured. Only by capturing this place and establishing a base here can they launch a surprise attack on Shizhong Mountain. As long as they stand firm on Yanlie Mountain, even if the first Waves of raids cannot shake the foundation of Shizhongshan's defenders, so that's okay. Next, after dawn, with the arrival of large forces, Shizhongshan will be captured sooner or later. And once Shizhongshan is captured, Jiujiang and Hukou will be connected, so immediately It will be much easier to fight now. By then, the 11th Army will have more ways to attack Madang, and there will be no need to attack from the front. Haneda thought this, and the smile on his face became even wider.
On the mountainside sniper position, watching the Japs getting closer and closer, the breathing of many soldiers became heavier. Although the soldiers of the guard company were carefully selected, many of them still couldn't help themselves before the battle. He felt nervous. Ma Changchun was young but had rich combat experience. He could understand the reactions of the soldiers, so he didn't say anything. He picked up the assault rifle in front of him, took aim with both hands, and calculated the distance. , said: "Wait a moment, get closer and talk." Then, he said to Zhang Haonai: "Good time, wait and see."
Zhang Haonai had previously led a few soldiers to set up a rope on the mountain road. At this moment, he was holding the rope with his right hand.
Zhang Haonai held an unlit cigarette in his mouth, placed his hands flat on a stone in front of him, and said vaguely: "Don't worry, I guarantee you, at least one class of Japanese."
Ma Changchun glanced at him and said no more nonsense.
Eighty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters, you can almost see the height of the Japanese in front of you. Ma Changchun took a deep breath and suddenly shouted: "Hit." Then he fired first,
"Bang bang." The sound of gunfire rang out instantly, and the only general-purpose machine gun in the class roared. The Japs at the front were immediately hit by bullets, and the Japs at the front were hit by several bullets at the same time. When hit, the whole person could not withstand such a huge momentum and flew up and fell backwards.
The Japs behind heard the gunfire and immediately fell down to fight back. At the same time, Zhang Haonai pulled the rope. A few seconds later, several explosions were heard in succession. In the light of the fire, more than a dozen Japs were blown up and danced.
The battle started instantly, and the Japanese army was not prepared at all. More than a dozen people were knocked down immediately.
"Enemy attack." "Lie down."... From time to time in the Japanese army array, Japanese soldiers shouted so. The little Japanese soldiers lay down one after another, and then started to fight back. The unique gunshots of the 38th Gate rang out, and the rocks around Ma Changchun and the others There were little sparks bursting out as we climbed up,
The Japanese army reacted quickly enough and their marksmanship was accurate enough. They suddenly opened fire and hit extremely accurately.
After a successful blow, Ma Changchun shouted: "Stop, take cover." Immediately, the gunfire stopped on the sniper position, and the entire position fell into silence again.
This round of explosions by the defenders showed powerful firepower, but that was all. The existence of those serial mines made Haneda realize that the defenders were already prepared. In other words, their whereabouts had been exposed and the surprise attack could not be carried out. It's possible, then let's attack by force, he thought, without feeling panic at all. He asked a staff officer to fire a flare towards the place where the gunshots were heard, and then shouted: "Go forward."
"Advance, charge." Officers such as the squad leader and squadron leader immediately conveyed the brigade commander's order. The little Japs who were lying on the ground immediately stood up with shouts. They fired their guns and launched an attack. Under the light of the flares, the sniper position was completely bare, and the enemy seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.
This strange phenomenon made Haneda feel a little uneasy, but he did not take it too seriously. He insisted on his previous judgment that there would not be too many enemy troops on Yanlie Mountain. He was concerned about the few people around him. The Japanese said: "The Chinese people are timid. That's good. This is our opportunity. We rush forward with all our strength. Yanlie Mountain is ours. Attack."
The gunshots kept ringing, and bullets hit the rocks in front of them from time to time, sending stone fragments flying everywhere. A few soldiers could not bear such great pressure. Their faces, illuminated by the flares, were like winter snow. of white,
Ma Changchun grew up from an ordinary soldier to what he is today. He understood the mood of the soldiers at this moment. He said: "Hold on, think about it, we are from a security company, we are not ordinary people."
The soldiers of the guard company and the reconnaissance company are all top soldiers selected from the ordinary army. Even if they are ordinary soldiers, their welfare benefits are double or even more than those of ordinary army soldiers. This is their usual capital to show off. In a place they were proud of, several pale-faced warriors opened their eyes wide when they heard this, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became resolute,
Ma Changchun was calculating the distance and chose this position as a sniper position. He had a plan. Below this position is a relatively flat terrain, which is most suitable for submachine gun fire. Moreover, it is about fifty meters away from this position. There is a bottleneck where only about three people can pass through side by side. This bottleneck limits the number of little devils who can pass through. So, as long as their firepower is strong enough, they can kill all the little devils who pass through the bottleneck and gain a breather. The opportunity. Since the Japs are attacking by surprise, they cannot carry heavy weapons. Even if they carry mortars, they will not launch them immediately. This is their opportunity.
It was estimated that the Japs at the front were only about ten meters away from them, which was already the limit. He suddenly shouted: "Fight." Then he straightened up and started shooting with his assault rifle.
The soldiers tensed their nerves and were waiting for the battle order. He called out, and many soldiers stood up. They all had submachine guns in their hands. Twelve submachine guns plus an assault rifle equaled twelve. The machine guns fired at the same time. Immediately, dense bullets were fired at the little Japanese who rushed through the bottleneck, instantly knocking down a large number of them.
