Gao Chu walked up to Qingniuling at night and started his second sentry inspection trip.
As the battalion commander of the fortress garrison, Gao Chu is definitely vigilant enough. He has to check the sentry three times a night, once after dinner, once before going to bed in the early morning, and once before dawn. The days are long in summer.
, the nights are short, so Gao Chu only has less than four hours of sleep left every day.
The tasks are so tight that I don't even have time to be intimate with my wife.
Fortunately, Chu Chu is a considerate little daughter-in-law and has no complaints about this.
At the same time that the circular barricade at the gate of Shaqiaogang Fortress was attacked, Gao Chu also walked to the hundred-year-old cypress tree on the top of the mountain, and then coughed lightly.
After waiting for a moment, there was no response from the branches of the cypress tree, and Gao Chu coughed heavily.
Strangely, after this heavy cough, there was still no response on the branches of the cypress tree.
As a veteran, Gao Chu immediately smelled a strange smell in the boundless silence. He immediately took out the Browning pistol from the holster on his waist, and then tiptoed behind the big cypress tree.
There is a tree hole behind this big cypress tree, which is large enough for one person to enter and exit.
Gao Chu originally planned to go in through the tree hole to check.
But when he reached the entrance of the tree hole, he found that it was completely unnecessary.
Because Gao Chu had just walked outside the tree hole, he smelled a strong smell of blood in his nose. When he looked into the tree hole with his flashlight, he immediately saw a corpse.
This corpse is none other than the sentinel who was lurking here before.
Gao Chu's scalp exploded in an instant. The enemy was attacking and a Japanese infiltrator had penetrated in!
At that moment, Gao Chu turned around and rushed to the edge of the cliff, firing three shots in the direction of the fortress.
At this time, the entire Meizhen and the Shaqiaogang Fortress outside the town were immersed in the silence of summer midnight. These three high-pitched gunshots suddenly shattered the silence of the night.
In an instant, the officers and soldiers of the garrison camp of Shaqiaogang Fortress and the county brigade stationed in the town were alerted, and the two military camps immediately started to tremble.
Dividing line
Entrance to Shaqiaogang Fortress.
Takeo on the mountain had just moved the corpses of three Chinese soldiers to the side and hid them. When he was about to let the follow-up special forces team members put on the regiment's military uniforms and pretend to be sentries, three people suddenly rang out from the cliff of Qingniuling on the right.
The sudden sound of gunfire.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, there was an immediate commotion in the fortress ahead. The lights in the three main bunkers and nearby barracks that had been sleeping with the lights off immediately turned on. In less than a moment, the seemingly deserted fortress was already filled with people.
Scattered Chinese soldiers appeared.
Looking at this posture, it is simply impossible to sneak into the fortress without anyone noticing.
For now, we can only attack by force!
Takeo on the mountain immediately turned around and raised his hand, and more than twenty black figures immediately appeared from the shadows behind him. These black figures were all armed with German-made 36 submachine guns. As soon as they appeared, they opened fire violently towards the fortress ahead.
The first group to rush out of the fortress were the garrison squad that was supposed to be guarding behind the circular barricade. However, before they could understand what was going on, they were knocked to the ground by the intense Japanese firepower.
After knocking down the dozen or so Chinese soldiers, Yamatakeo took the first group of the 3rd team and marched straight in to attack the three main bunkers of the Shaqiaogang Fortress. In this night attack, their first group's mission was to attack
The three main bunkers opened the door for Kato's brigade to advance.
The more than two hundred Japanese special forces of the Oluhara Brigade were carefully selected by Oluhara Junsi from more than a dozen field divisions affiliated to the Condemnation Army in Central China. They were all excellent in terms of reaction, speed, strength, fighting and marksmanship.
They were top-notch warriors, and they were equipped with German-made 36 submachine guns, which gave them an overwhelming advantage in firepower over the fortress garrison. Therefore, at the beginning, the offensive was simply a sharp knife cutting through tofu, and they were invincible.
In less than a moment, Yamatakeo's combat team had already broken through several fortifications of the fortress garrison and was about to break into the three main bunkers.
But these three main bunkers are also military camps, with thousands of garrison officers and soldiers living inside!
If the defenders were not alerted and Yamatakeo's combat team successfully sneaked into the main bunker, with their skills, more than 20 Japanese special forces would be able to inflict heavy damage on the fortress garrison and annihilate them all with their proficient combat skills and excellent military literacy.
Fortress garrison camps are also possible.
But once the fortress garrison was alerted, the situation immediately became completely different.
Before Takeo's combat team on the mountain could rush forward, the officers and soldiers of the three main garrison battalions in the main bunker launched a counterattack. Seeing the officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion counterattack, more than twenty Japanese special forces immediately dispersed, each occupying an advantageous position.
position, quickly forming a tight crossfire.
Under the intense crossfire of the group on the mountain, the officers and soldiers of the garrison fell one by one.
The officers and soldiers of the fortress garrison kept rushing out of the bunker, and were knocked to the ground by Takeo Takeo's combat team. This was not a battle of the same level at all. The Japs' marksmanship was too accurate, and their firepower was even more brutal.
, in just a moment, the open space outside the bunker was already filled with the corpses of the garrison soldiers.
However, at this time, the officers and soldiers of the fortress garrison had also realized the huge gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides. They no longer rushed out blindly, but relied on the strong bunkers to engage in fierce exchanges with Takeo's battle group on the mountain.
After a moment of stalemate, Yamatakeo's combat team was in danger.
Because this was a special operation deep behind enemy lines, they were unable to obtain rear supplies, and the ammunition they could carry with them was very limited. After more than five minutes of fierce exchange of fire, they had very little ammunition left. After all, they
It is equipped with 36 Charge.
"Team leader, I only have one magazine left!"
"Team leader, I only have two magazines left!"
"Team leader, our ammunition reserves won't last long if this continues."
"Baga!" Takeo on the mountain looked at the main bunker very close in front of him, with a fierce struggle on his face. One step was just one step away. If it hadn't been for the three gunshots just now, they would have been silent now.
They had reached into the main bunker. In that case, the next situation would be completely under their control. But now, their success fell short.
Although he was unwilling to do so, Takeo on the mountain understood that if he continued to attack forcefully, not only would it be impossible to enter the main bunker, but the twenty-odd people would be trapped here.
At that moment, Takeo on the mountain gritted his teeth and shouted: "Order, alternate cover, withdraw from the battle!"
Yamatakeo's first group failed in the Shaqiaogang Fortress, and the second group's raid on the heavy artillery position did not go well either. They were stubbornly blocked by the infantry company and the heavy machine gun company of the Niu Dazhuang Heavy Artillery Brigade. They attacked for five minutes.
It was never possible to break through the fortifications at the tunnel entrance.
They couldn't even break through the defenses at the entrance of the tunnel, let alone pass through the tunnel and destroy the heavy artillery position on the other side of the mountain. Seeing that there was not much ammunition left, the leader of the second team, Tanigawa Yuzo, could only give the order sadly.
Retreat.
All this is thanks to Gao Chu.
If Gao Chu had not fired a warning shot in time, if the first group and the second group of the 3rd team had successfully penetrated into the main bunker of the fortress and the mountain tunnel of the heavy artillery position, then the main bunker of the Shaqiaogang Fortress and the tunnels on the cliff would have been destroyed.
The heavy artillery position was no longer safe.
In addition to the first group and the second group, there is also a third group.
After crossing Qingniuling without anyone noticing, the 3rd team of the Oluhara Battalion was divided into three. Yamatakeo led the first team to raid the fortress position, Tanikawa Yukizo led the second team to raid the heavy artillery position, and the 3rd team's
Captain Abe Takeshi personally led the third group to raid the regiment's headquarters.
Compared with the difficulties in the first and second groups, Abe's resolute third group is progressing smoothly.
First, because all the main forces of the regiment were out at this time, the defense of the regiment headquarters had become very empty. Furthermore, there were no decent defenses at the regiment headquarters.
Although the remaining guard platoon at the regiment headquarters put up a tenacious resistance, this level of resistance was not enough to crush the Japanese special forces' rapid attack. Within a moment, Abe's resolute combat team had controlled almost the entire regiment headquarters, and the remaining guard platoons were
The personnel retreated to the army compound to make a final resistance.
When Yamatakeo Takeo and Tanigawa Yuzo led the first and second regiments to join up with Abe, Abe had just searched the entire regiment headquarters but could not find the regimental flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment.
Finding and bringing back the regimental flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment is one of the main tasks of the third team's trip.
When he learned that Takeo Yamayama and Yukizo Tanikawa had all failed in their attacks, As the captain of the third team, Abe Takayoshi was so angry that he cursed.
But after scolding him, Abe became more determined to retrieve the flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment.
No matter what, this attack must achieve something, and we must not return empty-handed. If not, how should we explain to His Highness Dongjiu Nianyan?
At that moment, Abe resolutely set his sights on the army compound behind the regiment headquarters.
Frankly speaking, Abe is an upright samurai. He is extremely shameless and disdainful of extreme behaviors such as killing women and children, and killing military family members. But now, he has to do something that he usually doesn't want to do.
This is a good thing to do, because only the family members of these soldiers may know the whereabouts of the regimental flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment.
"Order." Abe turned his gaze to Takeo Yamagami and ordered expressionlessly, "The first combat team immediately takes control of the family home at the back and gathers everyone here. I hope they can tell me the answer I want to know.
.”
"Hai." Yamatakeo nodded heavily and led the first group.
Not long after, intermittent gunfire rang out in the army compound. To be continued.
