Yang Ling's counter-charge not only consolidated the crumbling defensive line, but also caused heavy losses to the Japanese Sen's heavy team. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Ninth Division, where the Senzhong Brigade belonged, was a veteran division that had participated in the Battle of Songhu twice, and its combat effectiveness was strong.

After they captured Ruichang, which was defended by the Sichuan army, their brigade as the vanguard went straight to De'an non-stop, trying to capture De'an in one fell swoop.

As long as De'an is captured and the 106th and 101st Divisions are coordinated, the Chinese Ninth Army fighting on the Nanxun Line can be encircled and annihilated in one fell swoop.

However, their operational intentions were detected by General Xue Yue, the commander of the Chinese First Corps, and he immediately ordered the 74th Army to send a regiment to block the attack at Minshan.

In less than a day, Morishige defeated a main infantry regiment of the 74th Army with heavy casualties, and the victory made Morishige contempt for the Chinese army.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as they captured the position of the Chinese army, they had not yet gained a firm foothold, and Yang Ling and they came with reinforcements, and they even dared to fight a counterattack, which caught the unsuspecting Mori Zhong off guard.

Although they finally relied on the Minshan position to stabilize their position, they paid more than 500 casualties, which was almost a break for their brigade.

The grizzled Mori was shot in the arm, and although he was bandaged in time to stop the bleeding, the pain still made his face twitch slightly.

Morishige held the telescope with one hand, and saw the blue sky and white sun flags flying high on the opposite mountain, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.

"Quickly investigate the number and strength of the Chinese army that has just arrived on the battlefield."

Mori Chong was beaten by Yang Ling and their new force, although he was now angry in his heart, eager to fight back and get back to the field, but he was not reckless.

As a "China expert", Nakasa Mori, like many military officers, has studied China a lot.

He still understands the truth that his confidant does not know that he is invincible, and now that he has not figured out the strength of the other party, it is not wise to rashly launch an attack.

"Telegraph to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, that our unit was blocked by the main force of the Chinese Army in Minshan, and it was difficult to advance, and I hope that the follow-up troops will support it as soon as possible."

"Order all squadrons to hold their positions and closely monitor the Chinese army to prevent a sneak attack by the Chinese army."

"Call in the aviation units to carry out air strikes on the positions of the Chinese army."

Although Mori Shige Nakasa was only a brigade commander, after suffering a setback, he did not lose his position, quickly judged the situation, and issued a series of effective orders.

These commanders have undergone rigorous training, have been tested in war, and their methods are sophisticated and experienced, which is far from being comparable to that of Chinese officers of the same rank.

Because of the fear of Yang Ling and their newly arrived army, Mori Chong improved the offensive to the defense.

Yang Ling and the others thought that the devil had suffered a major blow and would definitely make a comeback to launch a crazy counterattack, but they waited left and right, but they did not see any signs of the devil attacking.

"It looks like the little devil is going to be a turtle with a shrunken head."

In the binoculars, the deputy battalion commander looked at the devil hurrying to repair the fortifications, looking stubborn, and his mood was inexplicably better.

Although their battalion took advantage of the devil's underestimation of the enemy to catch the other party off guard, the devil's strength is not weak, and if the two sides really have to fight hard, it is really difficult to say whether they will win or lose.

If the devils are determined to fight back, even if they can hold the existing defense line, I am afraid they will suffer a large loss.

Now that they see that the devils are beaten by them, they dare not come out, and this situation is still what they like to see.

"Leave some guard posts, and the rest of the people retreat to the back to rest in hiding."

Seeing that the little devil had no intention of attacking for a while, Yang Ling also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the little devils don't fight, they don't bother to provoke the devils, and when the reinforcements send heavy weapons, it's not too late to fight.

The herald trotted all the way along the mountain ridge and sent Yang Ling's orders to the various company positions.

Soon the brothers crawled out of the foxhole at the ridge and returned to the hidden trench a hundred meters later to rest.

The cooking squad, which was cooking in the ravine behind, also brought hot meals to the hidden trenches, and the white rice with bacon was eaten to the mouths of the brothers.

"This bacon still has to taste the most positive in our Xiangxi."

A brother from Luxi, Hunan Province, looked at a piece of bacon that was red in white and talked eloquently.

A Sichuan soldier was not to be outdone, and shot back: "The bacon in Xiangxi is a good thing, and our Sichuan's is delicious." ”

"You two are arguing about a fart, if you don't eat it for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu still wants to sacrifice his teeth." A platoon commander squatting next to him laughed and scolded as he used chopsticks to pick up the meat in their bowls.

When the brothers in Hunan saw the platoon commander coming to grab it, they ran with the bowl and put the meat into their mouths, and gobbled up their platoon commander and smiled: "Platoon leader, although this bacon is not as delicious as our Xiangxi, I can't waste it."

"You're a shrewd kid!" The platoon commander who didn't grab the meat squatted down again, shaved the white rice in the bowl and said, "You all follow Lao Tzu to fight well, and I'll go to the devil to get some canned food when I go back, so that you can eat to your heart's content!" ”

"Platoon leader, what does the devil's canned food taste like?" A brother who had never eaten asked with a blank eye.

The platoon commander smiled: "Give me the meat in your bowl to eat, and I'll tell you." ”

"Little stone, don't listen to your platoon leader, tomorrow I will invite you to eat the devil's canned food, it is much better than bacon." Company Commander Wang Huzi also came over and said.

Seeing the company commander coming, the atmosphere in the platoon was lively, and he hurriedly gave him a place.

"Company commander, when are we going to attack?" The platoon commander approached him and asked.

Wang Huzi looked around at his brothers, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, didn't you enjoy it just now?" ”

"The little devil is like a turtle bastard, we just hit it, and they retracted back to the mountain, they must not have enjoyed it, I still want to eat the devil's canned food." The platoon commander complained dissatisfiedly.

"You kid knows how to eat, don't worry about the devil's cans, but eat the devil's guns, wouldn't it be a big loss." Wang Huzi scolded the platoon commander with a smile.

The platoon commander didn't care, scratched his head with a smile and said, "That gun is stinky and hard, so I won't eat it." ”

The brothers in the trenches burst into laughter when they heard the platoon commander say this.

"Okay, you have fought some battles, Deputy Yang Tuan said, we have limited troops now, temporarily defend this mountain range, and when the follow-up troops arrive, we will attack! Don't let it go when the time comes......"

"Company commander, our platoon is a sharp knife in the company, when did you see us cowardly, then we will fight the main attack!" The platoon commander craned his neck and said.

The captain and company commander Wang Huzi pointed to the position and said: "Don't let your tail go to the sky, if you can't hold here, don't say that I won't let you fight the main attack, I will kill your kid." ”

The platoon commander said with a smile: "I can't hold the position, I don't need the company commander to do it, I killed myself." ”

"Okay, don't be poor, hurry up and rest, I'll go to the second row to have a look."

Seeing that the brothers in the trenches were fighting enthusiastically, Wang Huzi gave a few words of advice and walked towards another position.
