Chapter 123: Surrounded by the Enemy (First Update)
The soldiers of the Third Regiment of the Eighth Route Army did not expect that the firepower of the enemy who was holding on to the high ground and fleeing would be so strong, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who rushed to the front were killed by bullets one by one and fell in a pool of blood.
The third regiment commander looked at the soldiers who fell under the enemy's guns, and scolded angrily: "Little devil, bastard, Lao Tzu must destroy you today." β
He commanded the soldiers to attack the high ground again, and under the enemy's powerful fire counterattack, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who attacked the small high ground occupied by the devils suffered heavy casualties.
The commander of the third regiment saw that the troops were shot and killed by the fire of the devil's troops, and if they attacked blindly like this, not only would they not be able to capture the high ground occupied by the devils, but the troops would also suffer heavy casualties.
He immediately ordered: "Retreat immediately, the troops quickly retreat to Jiming Mountain, and keep the passage for the detachment to retreat into the deep mountains." β
The commander of the third regiment miscalculated the cunning enemy, and when he gave the order to retreat, he suddenly killed two troops from the woods to the north and quickly encircled the third regiment.
The commander of the Tokugawa wing, who commanded the devil troops to surround the three regiments, brandished his command knife and ordered: "Divide into two ways to encircle the Dohachi troops attacking the high ground from the flank, and destroy all of them." β
At this time, the three regiment commanders were all repentant, he scolded himself for being a bastard, and he fell into the trap of the little devil, this kind of battlefield situation is the same as that of Jiming Mountain, he had to shout: "Quickly retreat, break through the encirclement of the devil brigade." β
It was too late to withdraw from the trap carefully laid by the enemy, and the devil's brigade on the high ground, with the cooperation of reinforcements that suddenly appeared from the woods to the north of the heights, carried out upper and lower fire on the three regiments that were bent on withdrawing from their positions, and was soon surrounded by the two devil brigades.
The third regiment commander lamented while rushing to kill: "I bastard, I didn't listen to the words of this kid Lei Jian, and I fell into the trap set by the devil, I'm a bastard." β
He ordered all battalions to rush and kill, and they must highlight the encirclement of devils.
Wing Captain Mitsuo Tokugawa saw that he had surrounded the Third Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and this cautious and cunning devil commander ordered a squadron to cooperate in the encirclement and annihilation of the Third Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and ordered the two squadrons to withdraw from the battle and run to occupy Jiming Mountain.
When the commander of the third regiment saw the little devils of the two squadrons withdraw from the encirclement, he was relieved in his heart, and suddenly found that the little devils quickly pounced on Jiming Mountain, and he scolded angrily: "Little devil, fuck your grandma, today my third regiment will definitely fight with your group of miscellaneous bloody battles to the end, kill back to Jiming Mountain, and must guard the retreat channel of the detachment." β
No matter how brave the third regiment commander is, his troops have been surrounded by the superior strength of the devils, and he wants to stand out to defend Jiming Mountain, his wish is good, but it has come to naught.
The commander of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade has deployed the Tokugawa Wing in advance to feint the Eighth Route Army occupying Jiming Mountain, and lured the Eighth Route Army to pursue with a one-hit defeat combat plan, and then quickly sent troops to encircle the Jiming Mountain Heights, occupy Jiming Mountain, and block the passage for the five detachments of the Eighth Route Army to evacuate to the deep mountains.
The commander of the third regiment regretted his recklessness and did not follow the combat plan of the detachment headquarters to stick to the position of Jiming Mountain, and now that he has lost Jiming Mountain, the detachment will be blocked by the enemy in the open field under the mountain, and once a brigade of devils surrounds the five detachments, the consequences will be unbearable.
The soldiers of the three regiments, under the leadership of the heroic charge of the three regiment commanders, fought the most tragic battle in the enemy group without hesitation.
The little devil quickly completed the division and encirclement of the three regiments, and was striking with the greatest firepower, finally destroying the regiment with the most sound weapons and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
As soon as the soldiers saw that there was no hope of breaking out of the enemy's encirclement, they stared at the enemy group with bloodshot eyes and bayonets.
Captain Mitsuo Tokugawa led the little devils of the two squadrons to run wildly, trying to occupy Jiming Mountain in the shortest possible time and block the retreat of the Eighth Route Army.
In front of him was Chicken Ming Mountain, the captain of Tokugawa Mitsuo, and the smile on his face was very bright, which concealed his cunning and insidiousness.
He brandished his command knife and ordered: "Warriors of the Empire, there is Jiming Mountain in front, rush up and quickly occupy the position abandoned by the Eighth Route Army, we can rest well and rush forwardββγ β
After running all the way, the little devil saw the Jiming Mountain in front of him, as if he saw his home, and rushed up to the top of the Jiming Mountain excitedly.
The peak of Jiming Mountain is not high, the top of the mountain is a large oval in a semi-gentle shape, and the strength of a regiment is deployed in three lines of defense, which is not too crowded.
Captain Tokugawa Mitsuo saw that he was about to climb to the top of Jiming Mountain, he stopped and looked back at the small high ground behind him after the fierce battle, and suddenly laughed: "A regiment on the Dirt Eighth Road will be wiped out by the imperial army of the empire in less than half an hour, hahaha." β
He turned his head and ordered: "Quickly climb Jiming Mountain, consolidate the position, and prepare for the final decisive battle with the retreating main force of the Eighth Route Army." β
The little devil ran all the way, he was already exhausted, and he saw that the top of the mountain was almost there, but he was already weak, how could he rush up in one go? Some began to slow down, and they got closer and closer to the top of the mountain.
The captain of the Tokugawa Wing stopped, wiped the sweat from his head, and shouted with a wave of his hand, "Rush up with all your might." β
The little devils who rushed to the front had seen that they were about to rush to the front of the position, and when they were happy, rows of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, rifles, grenades, grenades, and grenades suddenly appeared from the Jiming Mountain position, all of which were greeted to the group of little devils who were approaching the top of the mountain.
The little devil who is already tired has concluded that the position of the Eighth Route Army in Jiming Mountain will not appear in the Eighth Route Army, and the lax ones even carry the robbery on their shoulders, which is this to fight? The state of the devils is simply worse than the most casual combat exercises.
The devil was suddenly hit by fierce firepower, and the little devil, who had been killed many times in the flames of war, saw that the imperial soldiers in front of him were swept down by the sudden fire, and the treacherous immediately fell to the ground and quickly rolled down the mountain.
Some of the little devils who rolled down the mountain were shot and died, and some still had a breath, and they were also passed out by the rapid rolling.
The high-spirited Tokugawa Wing Captain was blinded by the sudden sound of fierce gunfire from the top of the mountain, and it was not for the combat staff officers around him who violently overwhelmed him, and as the slope quickly rolled down the mountain, he was now a dead man.
The troops that suddenly appeared on Jiming Mountain were none other than Lei Jian, who advised the commander of the third regiment not to chase after the enemy troops.
Lei Jian couldn't persuade the commander of the third regiment, he was afraid that Jiming Mountain would be occupied by the enemy, and once the main force of the detachment was blocked under Jiming Mountain, it would be completely encircled and suppressed by the 13th Brigade of the Devils.
He first gave up his next plan of action, and ordered Niu Dali to lead the second and third companies to occupy Jiming Mountain, which must be well concealed, so that the enemy could not find out, once the devil troops seized Jiming Mountain, then Jiming Mountain would be lost.
Lei Jian ordered the enemy to be released to the front of the position, and then concentrated the maximum firepower, and under the first wave of firepower, the enemy was routed, causing the enemy the greatest casualties at the front of the position, and swore to protect the position of Jiming Mountain.
Lei Jian saw that the commander of the third regiment stubbornly led the troops, gave up the important position of Jiming Mountain, and pursued the fleeing devil brigade, his persuasion was ineffective, and he did not dare to throw away the position of Jiming Mountain, so he had to temporarily stick to Jiming Mountain, and then carry out his task after moving to the defense.
After a short time, the detachment headquarters withdrew to Jiming Mountain, and Commander Liu asked about the situation and scolded angrily: "This Song Zhida is simply an ignorant reckless man, a bastard who does not carry out orders. β
The two troops met at Jiming Mountain, and there were not many combat troops in the headquarters, most of them were agency logistics personnel, and Lei Jian persuaded Commander Liu to immediately lead the team to move to the deep mountains.
Commander Liu shook his head and said: "The Jiming Mountain position is very important to the detachment, once this position is lost, all the troops of the Eighth Route Army under the mountain will be divided and surrounded by the 17th Brigade of the Japanese Army, I will not leave here, don't say it again." β
Lei Jian saw Commander Liu's resolute attitude, and then said: "Since Commander Liu does not leave Jiming Mountain, is it not that the high political commissar will lead the headquarters organs to withdraw from the position first?" I guess that the devil brigade will be defeated in one blow, there must be a conspiracy, and once the enemy's large army seizes Jiming Mountain, there will be a bloody battle, or. β
Commander Liu nodded and said to Political Commissar Gao: "Old Gao, what Lei Jian said makes sense, you and the personnel of the headquarters immediately withdraw from Jiming Mountain, leaving the guard company, and cooperating with Lei Jian's battalion to block the enemy from seizing Jiming Mountain." β
