It's funny to say that when Hu Biao and the others finished cleaning the battlefield, almost 10 minutes had passed.
All in all, it was the first illumination bomb fired by Hu Biao and others that hit the sky above Bajialing, and there was a burst of gunfire as dense as fried beans.
Almost half an hour had passed since such a huge movement occurred.
In the direction of Hengyang Airport, there were about 30 people, a platoon-sized Guojun reinforcements, rushing up under the leadership of a second lieutenant platoon leader.
"The devil is here, where are the devils?
Don’t panic, we are from the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 569th Regiment, these few people are just the vanguard, all the 9th Company will come up with support later, and I know that I heard that the 570th Regiment will also come up with reinforcements.”
After brandishing a pistol and rushing to the top of the mountain, the second lieutenant shouted so loudly at Hu Biao and Deputy Captain Hu, who was obviously the highest-ranking police officer.
After hearing this, Hu Biao didn't say anything. He just pointed his chin towards the position of the position and gestured.
As a result, the second lieutenant and the 30 or so soldiers followed Hu Biao's gaze and glanced towards the front of the position, and immediately took a big breath of cold air.
Obviously, such a result was beyond their expectations.
You know, there were number 40 or 50, almost a small team of Japs.
Even if these people don't know it yet, these Japs are still special field forces of the island country, but a small team of Japs can often defeat a company of their troops head-on.
They are still very clear about such a common sense.
So such a result in front of us is a bit scary.
There were so many scumbags for a while, no! The figure who should be a police officer suddenly became taller in their hearts.
They didn't speak, but it didn't mean that Hu Biao and his party had nothing to say. Bai Xiang asked very unhappily: "I said, what is going on with you? Isn't your 9th company just at the foot of the mountain, why are you like this?
It took a long time for support to arrive.”
"Well, well, we wanted to hurry up. We wanted to rush up when we heard the gunfire, but the officers were worried that there was a scam here, so after observing for a while, they sent our platoon up first to see the situation."
Faced with such a question, the second lieutenant answered a little embarrassedly.
At the same time, he remembered something and called a soldier who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen, and asked him to run down the mountain quickly to report the situation here.
After seeing all this, Hu Biao and the others were speechless.
Of course, the reaction speed of the Guojun side was so slow that Hu Biao and the others were speechless. The performance of the Japanese side also left them a little confused for a while.
Because at this time, the enemy's follow-up attack still had not arrived.
If it weren't for the existence of the system mission, Hu Biao and the others might have really thought that the Japanese had changed their minds after seeing that the defenders here were on guard and had good strength.
But with the system mission in place, there is no need to doubt whether the Japanese will come later.
So, be prepared to fight to the death here.
With this idea in mind, Hu Biao called on the platoon of the 9th company to work with them, and quickly dug out more fortifications before the Japanese army arrived.
After all, Hu Biao and the others had limited manpower in the past.
The fortifications that took most of the day to be excavated are definitely enough to accommodate the 26 people from the Zhongzhou team.
Even with the addition of such a platoon of reinforcements, the main trench could successfully accommodate everyone.
But if the 9th Company arrives with more reinforcements, it will be a bit overwhelming.
Therefore, it is only right to continue to expand the area of the trenches, blast holes and other fortifications while the Japanese troops have not yet arrived.
In addition, Hu Biao and the others also need to strengthen the anti-slope fortifications...
*****
At the same time, in a village less than two kilometers away from Bajia Ridge.
The original owners in the village had fled a few days ago, taking as much of their valuable belongings as possible, and fled to places they thought were safer.
Although in this way, what awaits them is an uprooting from their hometown, and everything is an unknown fate, but it is better than falling into the hands of the devils who do all kinds of evil.
Therefore, in the past few days, no one has taken care of the heading rice in the paddy fields on the edge of the village.
The huge village became extremely quiet, with only some owners abandoning their cats and dogs and lingering there; they seemed to hope that one day they would be surprised to see their familiar owners come back.
But tonight, in such a village, even these cats and dogs were missing. Their animal instincts drove them to flee here in a hurry after feeling the great danger.
The main reason is that the thousands of Japs from the Songshan detachment were all assembled here more than ten minutes ago.
These animal-like things make real cats and dogs afraid to mess with them.
In a courtyard of the village, Keisuke Matsuyama, a Japanese soldier, picked up a telescope and silently looked in the direction of Hakko Ridge, which was not too far away.
But at this point, the lasting effect of each round, which lasted only two minutes, had long since been extinguished.
Therefore, under Matsuyama Keisuke's telescope, on a mountain that was not that high, nothing unusual could be seen, and it was indescribably calm.
But this Japanese Lieutenant Colonel knew that there was a small police force with amazing combat effectiveness in the mountains, which caused the powerful Songshan detachment to suffer a shameful defeat at the beginning of the Hengyang battle.
Long before Kameda's team was all killed, Second Lieutenant Kameda reported back the detailed situation through the radio.
It was precisely this that made Keisuke Matsuyama particularly ashamed.
The empire has indeed mobilized a large number of elite troops and veterans due to years of attrition and the continuous lengthening of the front line. More importantly, it has mobilized a large number of elite troops and veterans in the Pacific battlefield.
As a result, too many new recruits have been added to the current army, and they are not even local recruits, resulting in a serious decline in combat effectiveness.
But their Songshan detachment is still composed of elite imperial warriors.
Besides, when have the powerful imperial warriors been unable to defeat even some Chinese police?
After thinking about this, this guy became furious and made a final decision about the next combat operation.
To this end, he issued a series of orders to his adjutant:
“First, report immediately to His Excellency Isamu Yokoyama of the 11th Army and His Excellency Sakuma Takato of the 68th Division.
It is said that I considered that the existence of Hengyang Airport would allow the Guo army to continuously take off and land aircraft, causing a large number of casualties to our side; and that the continuous air transport would replenish ammunition and combat supplies for the defenders.
After the initial defeat in the battle, our army will instead attack Bajia Ridge as a breakthrough point and seize Hengyang Airport as soon as possible; please your Excellencies, please provide certain combat cooperation.
Second, it was agreed before the battle that the 64th Independent Infantry Group would be commanded by me in this battle.
The attached artillery squadron immediately moved closer to our position, and the other infantry squadrons attacked Fengjiachong, Wantang, and Leishuihe in three directions.
We must use a fierce attack to contain all the troops of the 190th Division of the Guo Army and cannot provide support to this battlefield.
Third, tell the Jiujian Squadron to first move to the foot of Bajialing Mountain to hide, and once the battle starts in other directions, they will immediately launch an attack.
We must kill all the defenders on Hakko Ridge to avenge Kameda Squad and wash away the shame of our Matsuyama detachment."
After such a series of orders, the adjutant immediately directed the communication soldiers to get busy.
Thanks to the fact that the Songshan detachment had far more densely deployed radio stations than ordinary Japs, there were soon more than two thousand Japs in total, moving towards the small Hengyang Airport on three sides.
