Chapter 279: Make the last resistance

The night was dark, and at 8:50 p.m., the 15th Independent Brigade, which was part of the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade, took the lead in attacking Fengming Mountain.

The 15th Independent Brigade was lightly armed to catch up with the troops of the Independent Regiment, and their heavy weapons were not carried, and the devil soldiers charged under the cover of light machine guns.

The Japanese attack was still the same as before, and the troops of the Independent Regiment calmly counterattacked, and the two sides fought inextricably.

At half past nine in the evening, the 16th Independent Brigade began to participate in the battle, and two light infantry brigades launched seven or eight attacks on Fengming Mountain in succession.

Although the Japanese army had an advantage in numbers, the independent regiment stuck to the Fengming Mountain Heights and repelled the Japanese army's attacks again and again.

After the Japanese discarded more than two hundred corpses, they abandoned the attack on Fengming Mountain, and they were determined to wait for the arrival of the main force of the brigade.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the main force of the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade arrived, and at the same time, Qin Yashang immediately sent a telegram to the commander of the 20th Division, Kawagishi Bunzaburo Division, who was responsible for commanding the operation.

In the telegram, Qin Yashang reported very arrogantly: The remnants of the Independent Regiment of Pingding in China have been besieged on Fengming Mountain by the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Japanese Army, and our unit will settle the battle before 12 o'clock.

After sending the telegram, Qin Yashang began to arrange the troops, and he dispatched two main brigades to the battle, and the artillery team also assisted in the attack.

was eaten by Sun Weiguo and a cavalry team, Qin Yashang was extremely angry in his heart.

Now that the Independent Regiment has fallen into the encirclement of his own brigade, Qin Yashang naturally wants to solve the rest of the Independent Regiment in one fell swoop.

At half past ten, the twelve mountain guns of the Japanese artillery launched an artillery bombardment of Fengmingxuan, and after the shelling was over, two infantry brigades stormed Fengmingshan under the cover of infantry guns and heavy machine guns.

On the one hand, he wants to conquer Fengming Mountain, and on the other hand, he wants to defend Fengming Mountain.

Fierce battles unfolded, guns rang out incessantly, and Chinese and Japanese soldiers were shot and killed almost every second.

The defensive style of the Independent Regiment was flourishing at this time, and they were outnumbered, but they were firmly defending their positions.

Especially those veterans of the Independent Regiment, although they used different weapons, they brought a great blow to the Japanese army.

The four infantry guns of the artillery company were scattered, and the artillerymen fired their shells carefully.

Because they were the infantry guns of the captured puppet army, they didn't have many shells, but every time they fired a shell, they would definitely be able to take the lives of seven or eight Japanese soldiers.

The light and heavy machine guns were fired entirely in bursts, and the bullets were fired at the Japanese soldiers as if they had been fitted with trackers.

No one retreated, no one complained, and no one would have thought that they would leave Fengming Mountain alive.

The wounded fighters do not let out any screams, and as long as they can move, the wounded will still shoot.

Some of the wounded would roll down from their positions with grenades, which they detonated as they rolled into the Japanese assault units.

The battle between the two sides lasted until just over one o'clock in the morning, and the Japanese troops could not bear the heavy casualties, and they began to retreat.

Qin Yashang's previous arrogance to end the battle before twelve o'clock became a joke, because his troops failed to conquer Fengming Mountain on time, Qin Yashang's face turned pale.

But when counting the casualties of his troops, Qin Yashang's brows furrowed tightly, and at this time, his troops had already paid the price of more than 700 deaths.

The radio of the Independent Regiment ticked and rang, and Sun Weiguo received a call from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to inquire.

Commander Nie inquired about the situation of the Independent Regiment, and he asked Sun Weiguo to hold on to Fengming Mountain and wait for reinforcements from the 120th Division to arrive.

Sun Weiguo called back directly: The ammunition is insufficient, and he will lead his troops to make the final resistance, or even all of them will die in battle.

After sending the message, Sun Weiguo completely destroyed the only radio station of the Independent Regiment.

He was worried that this radio station would fall into the hands of the Japanese army, and Sun Weiguo was already determined to die on Fengming Mountain.

In fact, Sun Weiguo's body was also injured, but he didn't say it.

There were less than 200 combatants of more than 400 people, and most of the seriously wounded ended their lives by dying together with the Japanese army.

The only thing that made Sun Weiguo happy was that Wang Kunyao and Sun Ziyuan, who had been incorporated not long ago, did not have any deserters, and no one chose to surrender.

Shen Wei and Liu Qian are actively rescuing the wounded, but the health team is powerless in the face of the many wounded.

After Sun Weiguo smashed the radio station, he hesitated for a moment, and then Sun Weiguo walked towards the health team with a grenade.

Shouyang County, 40th Brigade Headquarters, last month Liangfu learned that the mixed Fifth Brigade troops besieged Sun Weiguo's troops in Fengming Mountain, he was extremely excited.

At present, the 40th Wing of the 80th Brigade has been transferred to the front line to fight, and last month Yoshio still had a 79th Wing in his hands.

In order to be able to completely annihilate all the troops of the Independent Regiment on Fengming Mountain, Yoshio last month was ready to personally take the 79th Wing to fight on Fengming Mountain.

Just as Yoshio was putting on his major general's uniform last month, the captain of the 79th Wing, Osaki Ichiro, hurriedly ran in.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, Pingtou Town on the west side of Shouyang County has been attacked by unknown armed forces, and the Japanese troops stationed in Pingtou Town have lost contact, and there are many people on the other side, and they seem to be coming directly to the county seat."

After Moriki Ichiro came to the front of Yoshio Kamitsuki, he couldn't help but show a somewhat solemn expression on his face, and said in a serious tone.

Hearing Moriki Ichiro's report, Yoshio Kamitsuki's gaze couldn't help but look towards the map, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Could it be the troops of the Jin Sui army, but how can they have the guts to attack us? No, no, this is definitely not the troops of the Jin Sui Army, is it the troops of the Eighth Route Army, by the way, it must be the troops of the Eighth Route Army, they are an independent regiment that wants to rescue Sun Weiguo. ”

Seeing the location of Fengming Mountain, after looking at the location of Pingtou Town, Yoshio Kamitsuki had a gloomy expression on his face, and he immediately made a judgment.

"Send a telegram to the 80th Wing immediately, let them go to Pingtou Town immediately, and do not allow any troops of the Eighth Route Army to approach Fengming Mountain, you immediately assemble the troops of the 79th Wing, we will immediately go to Fengming Mountain, this time we must wipe out Sun Weiguo's independent regiment."

Yoshio last month immediately gave the order, and a heavy expression appeared on his face.

Sun Weiguo's independent regiment is about to be wiped out, and at this time, Yoshio last month will not allow any mistakes.

After issuing the combat order, Yoshio did not delay last month, he hurriedly left Shouyang County with the troops directly under the brigade headquarters and the troops of the 79th Wing, and went directly to Fengming Mountain to participate in the battle.

And after the 80th Wing of Fengmingshan received the order of Yoshio Tsuki, the troops, led by Kenji Suzuki, marched directly towards Pingtou Town, and they wanted to block the Eighth Route Army troops of the rescue independent regiment.
