Just as Yang Zhen was nervously adjusting his deployment and preparing to start a counterattack, there was a loud sound of slapping on the position of the Japanese puppet army at the foot of the mountain.

Tsuyoo Fukuda, the leader of the third squadron of the Fifth Independent Garrison of the Japanese Army stationed in Harbin, who was slapped more than ten times in a row, and was almost numb in pain, could only consider himself unlucky when he was unable to resist.

From hearing the dense gunfire on this side of the mountain, to discovering that the other side was not friendly and immediately attacking, to the present, although the four successive waves of Lang attacks occupied the halfway up the mountain and drove the bandits to the top of the mountain, they were never able to drive the bandits down from the top of the mountain. But he paid a lot of price.

In addition to the puppet Manchu military and police accompanying them, more than half of them were killed and wounded under the intensive machine-gun fire of those anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements, and their own squadron also paid the price of a whole squad falling under the intensive fire of the opponent's heavy machine guns. Hell, those heavy machine guns from the other side?

It's not that Tsuyo Fukuda is unheard, but as a squadron leader, he naturally wouldn't know that the opponent who was shooting at him on the top of the mountain at this moment had captured a whole train full of arms and ammunition at the Reed River Station. And although Kojiro Hara and the second Shaozo knew, he never explained it to him.

After paying the price but in exchange for limited results, Kojihara Langji, the combat staff officer of the independent Fifth Garrison Brigade, who was temporarily appointed to command the Japanese puppet army, was naturally not satisfied. After slashing and killing two puppet Manchurian officers on the spot, Tsuyoshi Fukuda, who commanded the only Japanese squadron participating in the battle, naturally became another punching bag.

Kojiro Hara Shozo is not satisfied at this time? It can be said that he is extremely angry, otherwise he would not have violated the convention and slashed and killed the puppet Manchurian officers in front of the puppet Manchurian military police.

For the puppet Manchukuo, a colony painstakingly managed by the Japanese army, although the Japanese army treated the so-called Manchukuo army much more vigorously and strictly than the puppet army that had just formed in the Guannai at this time, it rarely dealt with it at will.

For those puppet Manchurian officers who were so-called unfavorable in combat, they were generally sent to military tribunals first. Although it is basically a formality, the result is not different, but at least on the surface, it still has to be pretended.

At this time, Kojiro Hara No. 2 Shaozo not only killed two puppet Manchurian officers who were at least unfavorable in his eyes, but also ignored the so-called military prestige of the imperial army, and slapped the face of his squadron leader into a pig in front of the puppet Manchu military police present, which already showed how angry he was in his heart.

What made Kojiro Hara Shozo angry was not the casualties paid to seize this mountain. The loss of the third squadron made Fukuda Tsuyo feel distressed, but in the eyes of Kojiro Hara and Shosa, these soldiers were nothing more than consumables belonging to the war. He doesn't feel sorry for the Japanese, let alone those puppet Manchu military police who are not even as good as dogs in his eyes?

And the reason why he was so angry was that in his eyes it was enough to defeat a regiment or even a division of the regular army of China, and the Imperial Japanese Army was full of men and horses of a squadron of men and horses who went out in person, and attacked several times in a row, but they could not even take down a small hill occupied by bandits. Several charges were suppressed by the opponent's firepower and were unable to move halfway up the mountain, which really damaged the military prestige of the imperial army.

The failure of the attack and the damage to the prestige of the Imperial Army were only one of the reasons he could tell. As for the reasons that made him so angry, there were a few unspeakable reasons. The tactic of encircling and encircling three sides and encircling them on three sides, leaving a way out for survival, and driving these anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements, who had always slipped through the net in the previous sweeps, to a large encirclement that had been set up in the south and striving for total annihilation, was formulated by him as an operational staff officer of the Fifth Independent Garrison after pondering for a night.

Now he didn't expect that the bandit forces in front of him, who could only fight and ambush in his eyes, and never dared to compete with the imperial army, were so tough. With the cooperation of a large number of puppet Manchu military and police, a squadron of the Imperial Army launched four wave-like offensives in succession that were enough to crush any army's resistance, and actually held on. Not only did he persevere, but he was able to bite back, bringing a lot of damage to the imperial soldiers.

If he fails to defeat these bandits in front of him for a long time, the battle plan that he painstakingly devised before the new commander Sasaki is about to take office will be completely in vain, and he will end up with a shameful end that makes others laugh. Although he didn't care much about whether he smiled or not, he knew that if this plan failed, his future would be completely ruined.

And in Kojiro Haraji's opinion, the most important reason why he can't tolerate the futility of his subordinates' efforts is the most important point. If you are unable to destroy the opponent's resistance for a long time, and let the troops on both flanks rush to crush the opponent, that is the most intolerable thing.

Quite simply, the captain of the 1st Brigade of the Independent 5th Garrison Squadron, Koji Ikeda, who was fighting fiercely with Guo Bingxun at the moment, and commanded the East Road to attack the Japanese puppet army, was his sworn enemy since the Army Non-commissioned Officer School.

Not only did this man steal the first place in the graduation of the same period that belonged to him, but he also made him a loser once again when he competed with each other to pursue the daughter of a general. And Koji Ikeda, who became the son-in-law of the general Chenglong, has since risen to the top of his career, repeatedly suppressing Kojiro Haraji. When Kojiro Haraji and most of his classmates in the non-commissioned officer school of the same period were still junior and even captain, they had already sat in the position of captain of Nakasa.

I heard that after the completion of this purgation, this classmate, who snatched the top spot of Kojiro Hara's second list and robbed the goddess and the ladder in his heart, is about to be transferred to the regular field division as a wing leader. In other words, he is about to be promoted to Dazuo.

Everyone is about to be promoted to the captain of the Dazuo Wing, but he is still a small young staff officer. Although he is also a good mix among his classmates in the same period, and he rarely achieves the position of Shaozuo, but after all, he is only a small staff member and has not served as the commander of any army. Not to mention the wing captain, even if he was promoted to the chief staff officer, at least now it seems that it is still far away, and when he thinks of this, Kojiro Haraji's heart aches for a while. In his opinion, these should have belonged to him, if it weren't for that damn guy who relied on his father who was a college professor, he appeared halfway to snatch love. The general's daughter, the position of the captain of the Dazuo Wing, this qiē should have been his.

Although nepotism was not as prevalent in the Imperial Army as it was in the Chinese Army, there was a general's father-in-law or family member to take care of it, and the speed of promotion was not comparable to that of the children of civilians. Kojiro Haraji stubbornly believes that his opponent can be about to become the captain of the Osa United, and it must have something to do with the father-in-law who should have belonged to him.

Kojiro Haraji, who was carried away by jealousy, didn't want to think about it, he was just the son of a fisherman in Kitakyushu, and in Japan, where gate valves were prevalent and the right people were right, it was impossible to marry the daughter of a high-ranking general.

Although the general once looked at him differently after graduating from the non-commissioned officer school, he also expressed his affirmation of his talent. But to say that because he was sure that he had the heart to recruit him as his son-in-law, it was wishful thinking.

It is not terrible for people to be ambitious, but what is terrible is to be carried away by ambition. After receiving the news that Lieutenant General Toichi Sasaki, who is known as the father of the Manchukuo Army, was about to be transferred to the commander of the independent Fifth Garrison, Kojiro Haraiji, who was supposed to sit in the office at the headquarters of the garrison and was not in turn to go to the battlefield, thought that the time had come for him to express himself.

As an operational staff officer of the Fifth Independent Garrison, Kojiro Haraji knew very well the importance that the Kwantung Army Command attached to this anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese element. He also knew that after the loss of the county town of Weihe, especially after the army column of the Fourth Division, which had just been transferred to Manchuria, was ambushed north of the county town of Weihe, and the troops of the Fourth Division of the entire two brigades were bombed into the sky along with the military column, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army was under great pressure from the country.

Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, commander of the Fourth Division, even threatened that if the Kwantung Army Command could not give the Fourth Division a satisfactory answer to the Fourth Division regarding the attack on the army and the deaths and injuries of thousands of imperial soldiers, he would directly ask the emperor to strictly investigate the responsibility of the Kwantung Army and those responsible for the incident.

As an operational staff officer at the High Command, Kojiro Haraji immediately felt that this was an opportunity to change his destiny after learning about it for the first time. So he painstakingly came up with this battle plan.

Even in order to make a good impression on His Excellency the General and teach a lesson to the guy who had robbed him of the position that originally belonged to him, Kojiro Hara Ni Shosa, who was an operational staff officer, used the excuse that the battle plan was drawn up by himself as an excuse to persuade the chief of staff of the garrison who was temporarily acting commander to send himself to coordinate the operations of the various units before Lieutenant General Sasaki and Ichi took office.

It's just that what Kojiro Haraji didn't expect was his fight in his eyes this time, although he sent his enemy back to the arms of Amaterasu and washed away the shame of being robbed of love by a horizontal knife. But because he made the daughter of the general, who had admired him, a widow, a widow, he was ordered to retire from active duty for life after the war. And he himself was seriously injured in the battle, and although his life was saved, he was crippled for life because he lost an arm.

At this moment, mixed with the fury of the defeat of the attack, Kojiro Haraji, who repeatedly threatened his subordinates to quickly capture the hill in front of him, did not notice that less than three hundred meters on his right flank, in a ravine that was hidden because it was covered with good vegetation, a force was quietly approaching his position. And he was dancing and brandishing a saber to intimidate his subordinates, and his attitude could be described as extremely arrogant, and he was also firmly encased in the crosshair by a domestically designed and manufactured Type 38 rifle.

Li Yanping can be regarded as a long-time battle-hardened battle, and he doesn't know what is going on, but this very ordinary surprise attack in his combat career made him feel slightly nervous.

After suppressing the action of a veteran who stretched out his loaded rifle, ready to kill the saber-wielding guy in the devil's position. After Li Yanping roughly estimated the distance between the enemy and us, he signaled his troops to continue to engage the enemy as covertly as possible.

At 200 meters, 150 meters, and 100 meters, when the troops covered with branches as camouflage were extremely cautious and crawled forward to a distance of no more than 100 meters from the enemy, Li Yanping's originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed.

Turning his head to look at the several light and heavy machine guns that had been set up, Li Yanping pulled out his pistol and whispered to the two company commanders who followed him: "Tell the sù troops, do not charge, only use firepower to kill and injure the enemy." When there were many people there, they shot there. Remember to concentrate all your firepower to hit the infantry first, and leave the devil's artillery to the commander to deal with. ”

Seeing the two company commanders nodding, Li Yanping raised his head again and carefully observed the Japanese puppet army that was attacking the hilltop position again, and the shell gun in his hand took the lead.

After his pistol fired, the concentrated light and heavy firepower of the roundabout troops swept towards the Japanese puppet army, which was desperately attacking the defenders on the top of the hill under the pressure of Kojiro Haraji.

The Japanese puppet army, which was desperately attacking the mountain, was suddenly blinded by the sudden fire from the flank. The Japanese puppet army, which was caught off guard, was hit by the dense firepower that suddenly came out behind them. Under the attack from both sides, the army was crushed after only a brief resistance.

Yang Zhen, who had been commanding the troops on the hill to resist the Japanese puppet army's near-mad attack, saw that Li Yanping had already returned to his position and had taken the lead in firing, and immediately ordered the artillery who had already measured the firing boundary to open fire immediately, and the dense artillery fire was given priority to smash into the artillery position of the Japanese puppet army.

The infantry artillery position of the Japanese puppet army was set up on a flat ground in the mountains, and Kojiro Haraji, who was eager to make a contribution, was too careless and impatient. After he discovered these so-called anti-Manchu anti-Japanese elements in front of him, who had been strictly ordered by the Kwantung Army Command to be annihilated, he immediately began to attack. In order to defeat these troublemakers first, he did not even do even the most basic fortifications. Several infantry guns for fire support were placed on bare ground.

Although he knew that the Kwantung Army had a train full of munitions and supplies, especially a train carrying part of the equipment of a mortar brigade that the Kwantung Army was preparing to build, it fell into the hands of bandits while refueling coal at Weihe Station, he still didn't care.

In his heart, he didn't think that these bandits would use artillery. Because in the past, this anti-Manchu anti-Japanese armed force had never used mortars when attacking the pioneer regiments and group tribes.

The result of Kojiro Haraji's carelessness and over-swelling ambition was that his artillery was blown into a pile of scrap metal in the first place by a dense stream of mortar shells flying across the ridge.

After the sudden blow and watching his artillery be reduced to parts along with the artillery, he has been serving in the command organ since graduating from the non-commissioned officer school, and the lack of combat experience of Kojiro Haraji, who has not served as the commander of the unit, has been exposed.

At this critical time, his cousin was not as good as him, although he was beaten, but he quickly came to his senses, and in the case of losing his commander, his subordinates who spontaneously launched resistance under the command of Jun Cao actually launched a stunned.

If Tsuyo Fukuda is still alive, Kojiro Haraji will not pose a mortal threat to the Japanese puppet army if he is in a daze at this critical moment. As one of the very few officers in the Japanese army who was promoted by soldiers, Tsuyo Fukuda, who was experienced in actual combat, at least knew what he had to do.

However, it is a pity that His Excellency, the squadron leader who was quite unlucky, was hit into a hornet's nest by machine gun bullets in the first time when Li Yanping commanded the roundabout troops to attack, along with several soldiers around him.

Tsuyo Fukuda was killed in the first time, and Kojiro Haraji was at a loss. So that the entire Japanese puppet army unit lost its command. When the mortar group commanded by Yang Zhen killed the Japanese artillery and began to turn the fire and smash the shells at the Japanese puppet army infantry, the Japanese puppet army that had lost its command could not withstand the attack from both sides. Soon after the puppet Manchurian military and police, which were relatively weak in combat effectiveness, began to collapse, the Japanese army, which had always been strong, gradually became unable to support it, showing a trend of collapse.

Kojiro Haraji, who gradually came to his senses from the sudden blow, wanted to make a final effort to try to stabilize the troops, but a mortar shell falling from the sky made him shut his mouth.

Seeing that the supreme commander fell in the rain of mortar shells, the Japanese army, which was already in a state of collapse, could no longer support it, and under the leadership of the only remaining second lieutenant squad leader, Kojiro Haraji, who still had a breath, broke back.

Having defeated the Japanese puppet army at the foot of the mountain, Yang Zhen stopped Li Yanping's desire to pursue, and instructed Li Mingrui behind him: "Send a report to the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff Wang, tell him that I have solved the Japanese puppet army here, and ask them how the battle situation is there?" Sue sù they can retreat. ”
