Chapter 295 Fighting at Bajialing (7) [For Xufeng 10/10]
"Lao Hu, Lao Hu, wake up, wake up quickly~"
I don’t know how much time I slept, but it was far from enough sleep and I had not fully recovered mentally or physically.
Poor Hu Biao and Chief Hu woke up to the sound of calls in his ears.
Because he vaguely heard the shouts in his ears, but there was no such thing as "something happened" or "there is a situation", Hu Biao did not pull out his gun immediately after waking up.
But after he opened his eyes, he faced the fake foreign devil in front of him who woke him up, yawned and said:
"Okay, don't rush me! It's time for me to keep vigil now, right? I'll go right away~"
Unexpectedly, under such a bland response from Hu Biao, Jason started shouting as excitedly as if he had been given blood:
"We have to wait a rough night. We have reinforcements. We have a fully reinforced company with 200 people~"
Upon hearing this, Hu Biao suddenly felt that all the fatigue and tiredness in his body were gone.
In the following time, he had no intention of continuing to ink with Jason. After taking a big step, he rushed out of the anti-bomb hole on the reverse slope.
Then, he could see under the night, in front of a group of fruit soldiers, Wang Fu's little brother with footprints on his face, smiling at himself with a split mouth...
The total number of reinforcements this time is 207.
The weapons and equipment can only be considered average, with a water-cooled Maxim machine gun, 4 imitation Czech light machine guns, and the rest are basically medium-sized rifles.
Currently, the American equipment that Uncle Sam has begun to assist has basically not been seen in such a batch of reinforcements.
Fortunately, what Hu Biao and the others lack most now is manpower, and weapons and equipment are not the most urgent needs; the arrival of these reinforcements has already solved the biggest problem.
However, there are still some other problems with such a reinforcement force. These reinforcements were directly led by a major battalion commander from the 10th Preliminary Division.
After seeing such a major, Hu Biao suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Mainly because he asked himself that with his own status, it was impossible for him to command and move such a major named Xu. So who should he listen to when the fight actually broke out?
However, another surprise soon arrived.
It was a soldier who ran over a little later, holding a field telephone with a long telephone cord in his arms, and gave Hu Biao a military salute.
Then, he said in his mouth: "Sir Hu, General Fang wants to have a call with you right away."
Needless to say, when Hu Biao said "Sir Hu", he instantly felt like he was the bald and beloved general, Hu Zongnan, Mr. Hu.
After shaking his head, he shook off such a strange feeling.
Hu Biao took the call and stood at attention, with his chest raised and his abdomen in a standard military posture, full of respect for the other general.
He said: "Reporting to General Fang, Hu Biao, deputy director of the Detective Division of the Hengyang General Police Department, please give me a lecture."
Under such a solemn gesture, a sentence came from the other side that left him speechless: "You are no longer the deputy director."
Fortunately, Hu Biao was worried that something he had done to offend General Fang had caused him to lose his right to speak in the defense of Bajialing.
What the other party said made Hu Biao immediately ecstatic:
"I order Hu Biao, the former deputy director of the Detective Division of Hengyang General Police Station, to be immediately assigned to the 10th Army. His current position is the battalion commander of the 569th Regiment Supplementary Battalion of the 190th Division, and his military rank is major.
At the same time, all members of the Detective Division on Bajia Ridge were assigned to the supplementary battalion under Major Hu.
The Supplementary Battalion is a newly established unit, and specific officers are appointed by Battalion Commander Hu and reported to the Military Headquarters for direct approval; from now on, the Supplementary Battalion will be responsible for holding the Bajialing position, and all other reinforcements will be under the command of Major Hu."
After saying this, General Fang on the opposite side paused.
Then, he solemnly said: "Battle Commander Hu, since you are determined to stay until the early morning of the 29th, then someone from our side will accompany you to take the gamble.
Tell me, what kind of support do you want, I will try my best to satisfy you here; but if the battlefield is no joke, no matter what your reasons are, if you cannot fulfill your promise, I will kill you with my own hands."
But at this moment, Hu Biao came back to his senses in a huge surprise.
He first made a promise: "Fang Junzuo, don't worry. As long as there is a breathing person in the supplementary battalion, he will be nailed to Bajia Ridge."
Then, he gave a picture of the team members who gathered behind him after being woken up at some point.
She wanted to kick him in the face and asked: "Hurry up and get me some water. The more the better, otherwise you won't even be able to use the heavy machine gun..."
Of course, under such a rare opportunity, Hu Biao's request was definitely not just for a little water.
He also wanted some practical items such as some 60mm caliber artillery shells, some 12.7mm caliber bullets, and grenades produced by some large factories in Chongqing.
There are even several boxes of TNT explosives, two large oil drums, steel bars, etc.
Explosives, oil barrels, and steel bars are of course used to make things like heartless cannons.
They didn't do these things before, mainly because in today's battle, the Japanese from Songshan detachment were a bit too thieves.
Often when attacking, the tension will be so loose that even if the cannon hits without conscience, the damage effect will be limited.
But since General Fang said so, of course he would make arrangements first.
Just like that, after General Fang promised that someone would deliver it before dawn.
Hu Biao asked Jason and others to take everyone with them, and they began to work overnight. Not only did they need to increase the defensive position on the top of the mountain, but they also needed to enlarge the trenches on the reverse slope and the anti-gun holes.
After all, Hu Biao decided that the area on the top of the mountain was limited, so there was no need to pile up too many people at once.
So in the future battles, the people from their Zhongzhou team, plus a platoon or so of Guojun soldiers, will be enough.
As for Hu Biao himself, he used a piece of charcoal and wrote on a piece of paper on a cigarette box about the life matters of the officers of the supplementary battalion.
What the heck! Why is Mao a supplementary camp again? Are the entire Zhongzhou team in conflict with such a number?
As for why? Tonight, the Japanese's Songshan detachment actually remained quiet and made no big noise.
Just shoot from a distance from time to time to harass the people on the battlefield? What the hell.
******
Why were the Japanese soldiers of the Songshan detachment so quiet on such a night? Of course, it was because the attacks during the day had severely damaged their muscles and bones, and now they were really unable to fight.
While Hu Biao and the others were digging fortifications overnight, Matsuyama Keisuke, a Japanese soldier, looked at the casualty report in front of him with great pain.
412 people were killed, 39 were missing, and 217 were seriously injured. Such a huge number of casualties.
It can be said that the Matsuyama detachment, which is so impressive, has its backbone broken.
Even with the size of a complete brigade like the Matsuyama detachment, nearly 400 people can be mobilized to fight, but Keisuke Matsuyama, whose eyes have always grown to the top of his head, has no choice but to admit one thing:
With such a strength, there is really no way to defeat the positions occupied by those powerful opponents.
So what should we do tomorrow? Matsuyama Keisuke fell into a rare state of confusion and powerlessness for a while.
At this moment, his adjutant walked into such a house with a face full of joy, and reported excitedly:
"Your Excellency Matsuyama, the 68th Division and the 116th Division have agreed to dispatch their troops early tomorrow morning to take over the containment task of attacking the surrounding areas of the airport.
In this way, the 64th Independent Battalion will be free to join our attack.
In addition, His Excellency Yokoyama Isamu is also very concerned about the battle in the Bakjialing Highlands. Under his order, we will receive part of the air support tomorrow, as well as the support of heavy artillery troops."
"Skuyi~" Matsuyama Keisuke immediately cheered up after hearing such good news.
So much so that the adjutant added:
"By the way! His Excellency Isamu Yokoyama also said in the telegram that he must see the news of Hakjia Ridge being captured tomorrow evening. It appeared on his desk. He asked if you have any other needs for this?"
"Yes, let the people from Tekko find a way to find out who the defenders on the Bajia Ridge are." Finally, Matsuyama Keisuke came up with such an unexpected idea.
But when the adjutant thought about it carefully, it didn't seem so outrageous.
Even he wanted to know who those opponents were who were nailed to Bajia Ridge like a copper pea that could not be steamed, boiled, beaten or stir-fried.
