Chapter 785: The Decisive Battle of Taihang Mountain (7)
As Hu Guoshan's attack on the village became longer, the Japanese army's defense became stronger and stronger, and the time and strength spent by the guard battalion to capture a courtyard also increased, and as the Japanese reinforcements got closer and closer, Hu Guoshan and they could not take any advantage if they continued to attack, and they were likely to be surrounded and eliminated in the village by the Japanese reinforcements.
When he learned that the Japanese reinforcements were very close to him, Hu Guoshan decisively gave the order to retreat, although there were still more than a dozen cannons in the village that had not been destroyed, but they could not afford to lose a big one.
A platoon of soldiers arranged by the commander of the second company successfully delayed the speed of the Japanese reinforcements, and by the time the Japanese reinforcements arrived, Hu Guoshan had successfully evacuated the village with his troops.
"Hit the flare and tell you that the battalion commander can withdraw!" Before Hu Guoshan had time to catch his breath, he immediately ordered the soldiers to fire signal flares, withdraw from the battle, and join them as soon as possible.
The speed of the Japanese army was not slow, Hu Guoshan They had just withdrawn from the battle, and not long after the Japanese reinforcements had already entered the village, but they were still a step late.
"Division commander, division commander, our battalion commander has not withdrawn!"
It was already the appointed time, Hu Guoshan arranged for two soldiers to go out to look for the traces of the battalion commander Hua, but they did not find them, obviously they must have encountered some trouble and could not meet them.
"Let's go! We won't wait for them! Hu Guoshan knew that they couldn't delay any longer, they had other tasks, if the mission was not completed, it was dawn, they would not be able to survive on this side of the Zhanghe River at all, and they would be tied up to death by the Japanese troops searching for them.
The most important thing is that Hu Guoshan believes in the commander of his guard battalion, and he will definitely be able to lead the troops out of the predicament and find them.
This attack on the Japanese artillery position can be regarded as a hornet's nest, and the Japanese patrols have doubled, looking for their traces of Hu Guoshan in the cold wind. Just when the Japanese army was looking for Hu Guoshan's traces, Hu Guoshan led his troops to bypass the Japanese patrol, and then moved to another key point of the Japanese army.
"Division commander, we attacked the Japanese artillery positions and attracted the Japanese patrols to the village, there are not many Japanese patrols here!" The company commander reported to Hu Guoshan what they had just seen.
"Don't be careless, this is the focus of the Japanese army's protection, there must be heavy protection, and your battalion commander doesn't know where it is now, our situation is not very good!" Hu Guoshan wiped a handful of snot, and the snot blown by the cold wind was about to freeze.
Hu Guoshan was thinking about countermeasures, when they just attacked the artillery position of the devils in the village, they only destroyed two-thirds of the Japanese artillery, and now they aimed at the arsenal in the Japanese camp, and the ammunition and other materials pulled by the Japanese army trucks to the front line did not have time to be distributed to the soldiers, so they could only hoard the materials, and then camouflage them with canvas to cover them up.
"Division commander, there's a car over there!" A fighter saw the headlights in the distance!
"You two went over and tried to stop the car, whether you can blow up the little devil's ammunition tonight depends on whether you can get the car!"
The Japanese vehicles could also swagger around at night with their lights on, because China did not have an air force, and even artillery was scarce, and they were not worried about the bombing of them by the Chinese army at all, and the Chinese soldiers could only watch the Japanese army transport a large amount of supplies to the front line with their lights on, but they had nothing to do.
However, this car is not a vehicle for transporting ammunition and ammunition for foster care, but an officer of a little devil who is serving on the front line today, and the troops have no extra vehicles for him to drive, so they can only carry trucks to the front line.
Today is obviously not a good day for this Japanese officer to take office, maybe he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out. When the truck was stopped, the Japanese officers in the truck did not realize that their lives were near.
"Bagaya Road ......"
The Japanese officer finished his only line, and two soldiers with bright bayonets came up from behind and stabbed him in the throat, killing him with one blow, and the driver was also killed by the soldiers.
"Commander, the car has been obtained, but what should we do next?"
"According to reconnaissance intelligence, this is the headquarters of the Japanese army, and this is the place where the Japanese army's ammunition and ammunition are hoarded, and the distance between the two is more than three miles! This distance is enough for the little devil to run around, the second company commander took two soldiers and me to change into the Japanese army's clothes and enter the Japanese camp, attacking the little devil's ammunition * medicine, the third company commander, you take all the soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army headquarters, and after you launch an attack, we will act, and after the operation is successful, we will meet in the south of the original village! ”
The guard battalion attacked three important places of the enemy overnight, which must have been unexpected for the little devil, although the Japanese army had more troops, but it could not withstand such an attack.
Gunshots rang out in the distance, and the direction of the Japanese command was fiercely attacked, and the Japanese troops were in a panic and moved closer to the Japanese command to rescue their commanders.
At this time, Hu Guoshan and the others started the car and infiltrated the Japanese barracks as Japanese officers.
"Division, this is it, but how do we blow it up? Our* has run out! ”
"Why are you so stupid, here is the little devil's ammunition, we don't have it, there are a lot of little devils, the second company commander and the two of us each took one, collected the little devil's explosives, and then blew up the little devil's arms!"
Hu Guoshan and the others were busy for more than ten minutes, but the gunfire in the direction of the Japanese headquarters did not stop, the battle was very fierce, Hu Guoshan could not care so much, they completed the task one step earlier, and their troops could withdraw one step earlier.
"Company commander, division commander, let's go, I'll stay!" When a soldier knows that someone has to stay behind to detonate*, it means that someone has to die.
"No, if you want to stay, I will stay, I am your company commander!" The company commander couldn't bear to leave his soldiers behind.
"Don't fight, company commander, now we don't have time to waste!"
At this time, two patrolling Japanese soldiers discovered the anomaly here and rushed to Hu Guoshan and walked over to them.
"Password!"
The Japanese army rushed to Hu Guoshan, and they demanded a password.
Hu Guoshan: Where did they know what the password was, they took advantage of the chaos to get in, and they didn't know what the Japanese army's password was.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The two soldiers also knew that they couldn't hide the matter, and decisively shot at the two Japanese soldiers. One Japanese soldier was killed on the spot, but another soldier counterattacked Hu Guoshan and concentrated the thigh of the second company commander on the spot. Hu Guoshan fired two shots at the little devil before killing the remaining little devil.
"Second Company Commander, I'll carry you away!" Hu Guoshan immediately made a decision and pulled the second company commander up with his hands.
The second company commander took it back, and said to Hu Guoshan with a smile: "It seems that God will do this, God left me here, division commander, go quickly, it's too late!" ”
"No, I'll carry you ......" Hu Guoshan went to pull the second company commander again.
The second company commander directly pushed Hu Guoshan away and explained to his two soldiers: "You two boys remember for me, protect the division commander, if the division commander hurts a hair, Lao Tzu will also settle accounts with you two boys when he arrives in the underworld!" ”
"Go ......"
The second company commander used all his strength to yell at Hu Guoshan.
Hu Guoshan insisted on carrying the second company commander on his back, but the two soldiers pulled Hu Guoshan, dragged him hard, and pulled Hu Guoshan away from the scene.
"Boom"
The violent explosion shook the earth, the huge fireball turned the whole night into day, the oncoming heat wave made it difficult to breathe, and the second company commander detonated the Japanese ammunition depot with a *.
After the explosion, silence returned to heaven and earth, and the original gunfire disappeared without a trace, leaving only blood and corpses somewhere in the night, as if the war had never begun or ended.
It took a while for the Japanese commander to react in the headquarters, and he didn't say anything, just sat down in his chair limp.
"Don't let me catch you, I'll have you to pieces!" After buffering for a while, the Japanese commander suddenly stood up, his eyes were red and shouted loudly, and the Japanese staff officers in the command headquarters were all taken aback by the appearance of their commander.
"Let the first team follow me, I'm going to slaughter them with my own hands!" The Japanese commanders were already carried away by hatred.
In fact, the commander of the Japanese army just hated that he had planted it in the hands of the Chinese army, how could they be a great Japanese imperial army and suffer losses in the hands of the Chinese army, this is an impossible thing, especially since he has so many troops in his hands, he is a soldier who wants to serve the emperor of the Japanese Empire, and there can be no stain on his body.
Of course, the Japanese commander was acting on his own behalf, after all, he was given command of an army, not a commando. He has the right to do so, but it is irresponsible.
"Divisional commander, divisional commander, the little devil is crazy!"
After meeting with the large army, the commander of the third company said to Hu Guoshan breathlessly, they were chased by the little devils all over the mountains and fields, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the little devils before they arrived at the meeting place.
"How many more do we have?"
What Hu Guoshan wants is to make the little devil crazy, the purpose of his coming here is not to make the little devil happy, so far they have achieved their goal preliminarily.
"The second and third companies add up to half of them!" The third company commander was a little depressed, and he had already learned that the second company commander would not come back.
Hu Guoshan's head buzzed even more when he heard this number, and he lost a company's strength in two battles, and the commander of the battalion Hua and the first company were all missing, and the second company commander had already died. Hu Guoshan took a deep breath, and the cold air entered his lungs, making him a little more sober.
"Now all the personnel are under your unified command, and we still have the strength to fight!"
Although they had lost so many people, Hu Guoshan believed that they had not yet achieved their desired goal, and that the little devils still had the ability to continue to attack the positions of the New 33rd Army on the other side of the Zhanghe River.
