"Yaga, what kind of people are they!? A squadron was destroyed, and not a single grain of rice was delivered to Ruichang in a day, kilometers were destroyed, and even the trail was attacked! ”

Maruyama tightened his eyebrows and slapped the table hard, angry and incredible.

"General, you are the one who underestimated the enemy. The last time the captives were rescued by more than a hundred troops, and although they were dressed like guerrillas in the clothes of the common people, they were very well organized; We met resistance in the course of the pursuit, and it seemed that there were two groups of men, and with the rescued prisoners, their number should be about five hundred. ”

The staff adjutant beside Maruyama said it at this time, and Maruyama turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

The staff officer said: "Yesterday's attack was premeditated, and it seems that they are deliberately showing weakness, leading us to exterminate them, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop. But from today's point of view, their conductor is a very talented conductor. Not only that, but in the afternoon, all the sappers we sent out were sniped by snipers, and they had more than one sniper. Judging from the above information, our opponent should be the 'Falcon' that gives many generals a headache. ”

"Falcon~" Maruyama's face became extremely ugly when he heard this name, because this name had brought shame to many famous generals, and now it finally fell on his head.

With some anticipation, Maruyama asked, "Is there a way to deal with them?" ”

The staff adjutant shook his head and said, "No." It was full of lofty mountains and mountains, and it was the best place for them to fight, and even a brigade could not help them. What's more, they still have a team of five hundred people. ”

"Shoot~", Maruyama Masao slapped the table hard again, and said angrily: "Are we just watching ourselves run out of food!?" The Imperial Army is the most advanced army in the world, why don't we have such a team? ”

The staff officer replied: "My subordinates have studied this kind of tactics called 'special warfare', and this tactic is still immature in the world's military, but they use it like pure gold. The subordinates had also heard an unbelievable rumor that their commander was from the future world, which would explain why the backward China Army had such an advanced team. ”

"Ridiculous, nonsense!"

Maruyama thought for a moment, since he dealt with them, he left them alone and did what was in front of him well. At present, the logistics of the Maru detachment can barely support three days, and only in these three days will the main force of the Ninth Division move south and destroy the three armies at Jinguanqiao, and the overall situation can be determined.

On the hill opposite Minshan, the 151st Brigade of the Chinese Army was still in a state of urgency. If Minshan is not taken in one day, the retreat of the defenders of Jinguanqiao will not be guaranteed.

Wang Yaowu still tired of Zhou Zhidao, urging him three times a day, ordering him to quickly attack Minshan and regain the commanding heights. Zhou Zhidao was forced to be like an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't stop worrying.

The Japanese army was covered by planes during the day, and the entire brigade was bombed and could not move, so Zhou Zhidao could only launch a night battle.

That night, the 151st Brigade left a small number of troops to defend the original position, and the main force attacked the left side of the Japanese army from the south side of Huaguo Mountain.

"Boom Boom" "......"

The artillery battalion of the 151st Brigade launched an artillery bombardment on the right flank of Minshan Zuoyunling, and then the 302nd Regiment launched a ground offensive, but it was not long before it was beaten back by the strong fire of the Japanese army.

When the vanguard of the 302nd Regiment approached the position, the enemy began to strafe at our troops with various light and heavy weapons, and then, grenades, grenades, and small cannons went into battle together.

"Damn, the brigade commander was forced above, and now the brigade commander is here to force Lao Tzu again, it turns out; Lao Tzu is a small character! ”

Zhou Zhidao ordered the 302nd Regiment to conquer Zuoyunling before dawn, and gave the order to die. Previously, the 302nd Regiment had sacrificed the most powerful battalion commander Hu Liqun, and now the 302nd Regiment was the vanguard. Can this not make the regiment commander complain?

But an order is an order after all, and the 302nd regiment can only bite the bullet.

After fighting until the early hours of the morning, the 302nd Regiment lost more than 300 officers and soldiers, but it was never able to break through the Japanese position in Zuoyunling.

"We can't fight like this, the Japanese army has already taken precautions. Not to mention that Dawn occupied the enemy's position, before that time, the whole regiment had to die. ”

At the regimental headquarters, the regimental commander was anxious and went back and forth.

At this time, the chief of staff on the side suggested: "Why don't we organize a death squad, it will be in our favor when it gets dark." ”

The head of the regiment stopped, his face gloomy, and asked, "Who will be sent there?" ”

The chief of staff replied: "Three battalions." Zhai Yu, the commander of the third battalion, was originally from Shandong, a standard Shandong man, and this person played a good knife. ”

"Okay, call the commander of the third battalion. No. The regiment commander waved his hand and said, "I will go to the third battalion in person." ”

The two commanders personally went to the third battalion. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the third battalion were preparing to launch a new round of offensive, and Zhai Yu was proud that the regiment commander came in person, thinking that he was cheering them up, so he hurriedly ran over.

Zhai Yuben, the commander of the third battalion, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a burly figure, and the image of a standard Shandong person. He came to the regiment commander and saluted: "Regimental seat, the officers and men of the third battalion are ready to attack at any time. This time we will definitely take the front position! ”

Zhai Yuben spoke loudly and sonorously. The regiment commander waved his hand and said, "No, this time the second battalion will attack." ”

"Those two came to ......"

The regiment commander couldn't open his mouth, and the chief of staff next to him said: "We want to organize a commando." The 2nd Battalion launched a feint to attract the attention of the devils, and the assault team took advantage of the night to attack the enemy's position from the flank, and then the 2nd Battalion launched a general attack. However, the commando captain must be brave and play the broadsword well. ”

The two commanders knew that the commandos were death squads, and that rushing into the enemy camp alone would inevitably lead to death, and what the chief of staff said tactfully.

"Me!" Zhai Yuben volunteered: "Everyone knows that my big knife is the best in the whole group." ”

The regiment commander said: "But this operation is life-threatening. ”

"If you die, you will die, and those who are soldiers are afraid of death and fight a bird war. It's a big deal to go down and be a companion with Camp Commander Hu, and continue to kill devils below! ”

Zhai Yuben smiled, not afraid of life and death at all. This made the two commanders admire him very much.

"Good! Soldiers deserve it! If you can't attack it, I'll tell you this, and next time I'll personally lead the team to rush up! ”

The regiment commander was moved by Zhai Yuben's pride, and if he failed, he personally went into battle and led the whole regiment to capture Zuoyunling. He is not a mouthful, because he is not the first regiment commander of the 302nd regiment to die.

Cheng Zhi, the previous commander of the 302nd Regiment, died in the defense of Nanjing; Ji Hongru, the previous commander of the 302nd Regiment, died in the battle of Xuzhou, and both of them sacrificed very heroically. The 302 regiment is a heroic team.

Immediately, the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion launched an attack like a tsunami, and the Japanese troops defending the position concentrated all their attention on the center.

Zhai Yuben selected more than 100 strong soldiers in the third battalion to form a death squad and sneaked up from the flank of the Japanese position.

Less than thirty meters away from the enemy's position, Zhai Yuben held the brigade and shouted: "Brothers, rush!" ”

Zhai Yuben was the first to bear the burden, leading the soldiers behind him to launch a rapid charge. Before the devils on the battlefield could react, they had already rushed over.

Zhai Yuben raised and fell, slashed left and right, and everywhere the big knife went, there was blood and flesh flying. The soldiers behind Zhai Yu himself were inspired by his courage and fought bravely to kill the enemy.

The death squad fought all the way to the middle lane.

Immediately, the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion launched a general attack, rushed into the enemy camp, and quickly occupied Zuoyunling after a wave of fierce attacks.

However, before the 302nd Regiment could gain a firm foothold, the Japanese follow-up troops quickly rushed over, and the entire position suddenly fell into a melee.

A contest of blood and fire, courage and courage revolves around the Zuoyunling position. The two sides are fighting for each other, and they are repeatedly rushing to kill. It was not until dawn that the 302nd Regiment completely occupied the entire position.

In this night battle, the 302nd Regiment sacrificed a total of more than 600 people. Zhai Yu, the commander of the third battalion, himself took the lead and rushed to the front, but unfortunately he was killed several times and died on the position of Zuoyunling.

Zhai Yuben: A native of Shandong, graduated from the fourth phase of the Luoyang Branch of the Central Military Academy, and died in Minshan.

The battle of Zuoyunling was the most tragic, and other units of the 151st Brigade successively occupied Jinlonggan, Snake Ridge and other places. After the first battle, nearly 1,000 Japanese troops were annihilated, and the 151st Brigade also paid a heavy price.
