After the Kumamoto Division advanced to Daping Town at the foot of Qingniuling, they stopped advancing and stationed themselves on the spot.
Moreover, the Kumamoto Division learned the lessons of the Iida detachment and did not concentrate on garrisoning. In addition to the division headquarters and directly affiliated regiments stationed in Daping Town and the periphery, the four infantry regiments were based on the brigade, along the Qingniu
The mountains of the ridge separated the camps, and a dozen or so camps were built at the western foot of Qingniuling.
Even if they are stationed separately, they are more likely to be penetrated and attacked by the Wolf Fang. Naosaburo Okabe does not hesitate to do so, because although the centralized garrison can avoid the Wolf Fang attack, he will be bombarded by clusters of unscrupulous artillery.
If the Daimeishan Independent Regiment once again transfers hundreds of heartless cannons, the Kumamoto Division will become the second in the Iida Detachment!
In the first two days, the Kumamoto Division only focused on building fortifications and would rather be a tortoise.
The old devil Okabe Naosaburo's mind is still very clear. He knows very well that the current combat mission of the Kumamoto Division is not to drive straight into Damei Mountain and devour the Damei Mountain Independent Regiment in one go, but to advance to the western foot of Damei Mountain, and then
Set fire to the mountain and wait until all the virgin forest in Damei Mountain is burned away before attacking.
Only in this way can the threat of Wolf Fang be minimized.
Therefore, after advancing to the foot of Qingniuling, the Kumamoto Division stopped advancing and began to focus on building fortifications to prevent the Dameishan Independent Regiment from counterattacking. It was not until the fortifications were initially completed that they began to send small groups of troops to try.
Set fire to the mountain, but the arson operation did not go smoothly because of the powerful sniper attack from Wolf Fang.
Because there is a hilly area between the station of the Kumamoto Division and the Aoi Ridge.
The width of this hilly area is about five to ten miles. Only by crossing these hills can one reach the foot of Qingniuling to set fire. However, the Wolf Fang is entrenched in this hilly area, and the arsonists sent by the Kumamoto Division
If the troops want to reach the foot of Qingniuling and set fire to the mountain, they must break through the Langya blockade.
At the beginning, the strategy adopted by the Kumamoto Division was to send more small units to infiltrate.
However, in just half a day, Naosaburo Okabe discovered that this strategy did not work, because small groups of troops simply could not penetrate the Wolf Fang's blockade. No matter how many small groups you sent, they would never come back in the end. So,
Naosaburo Okabe decisively changed his strategy and sent large troops to set fires in the mountains. There were fewer arson sites, but they were safe.

At this moment, Xu Rui, Xiao Taohong, Hua Niu and Plague Dog were in ambush on a hill.
Xiao Taohong is the leader of the third sniper team, Hua Niu and Wengou are members of the third sniper team.
The more than fifty members of the Wolf Fang Team have now been divided into more than a dozen combat groups, distributed in the hilly areas between Daping Town and Qingniuling, specializing in sniping against Japanese arson troops.
In the morning, Xu Rui and his team had already killed two Japanese teams.
At this moment, Xiao Taohong was playing with her radio, Hua Niu was doing some tricks, Xu Rui was closing his eyes and concentrating, and only the plague dog climbed up a big tree and looked forward through the gaps in the leaves.
It was at noon, the sun rose to the middle of the sky, making the forest warm, and there was no wind. Xu Rui lay on a pile of soft pine needles and fell asleep in a daze. In the past few days,
Xu Rui barely slept a wink. Now that he finally had a moment of leisure, why not take the time to take a nap?
Xu Rui was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard someone calling him softly.
Then the shouting became clearer and the person regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes, Xu Rui saw Xiao Taohong right in front of him, shaking him gently while shouting: "Uncle, uncle?"
Xu Rui groaned, sat up and asked, "Xiao Taohong, what's wrong?"
Xiao Taohong then said: "The political commissar called and said that Luo Zhongyi, the chief of staff of the Central Jiangsu Military Region, has set off for our military division with a special agent team and will arrive in Meixian County tomorrow evening at the latest."
"Really?" Xu Rui was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Now I feel relieved."
Seeing that Xu Rui was happy, Xiao Taohong was also happy and said happily: "Uncle, you don't have to worry now. With the special agent team of the Suzhong Military Region, Meixian County will be safe."
"Well, it's safe." Xu Rui nodded and said, "Now we can let go and play with the Kumamoto Division."
As soon as Xu Rui finished speaking, a thumb-sized pine cone suddenly fell from a height and landed in the grass in front of Xu Rui. It made a soft popping sound. When Xu Rui and Xiao Taohong looked up, they saw something crawling on the ground.
The plague dog on sentry duty on the treetops spoke a series of tactical sign language directly below: There are enemy troops coming, at least an infantry brigade!
"At least one brigade?" Xu Rui's heart moved slightly and he said, "It seems that the little devil has learned his lesson and no longer sends small groups to die, but instead sends large groups to set fire. However, Okabe Naosaburo
If this old devil thinks he can break through the Wolf Fang blockade and set fire to Qingniu Ridge, he is too naive."
After saying that, Xu Rui shouted in a low voice: "Get ready to fight!"
(Dividing line)
Coming over from the opposite side was the Second Infantry Battalion of the Thirteenth Infantry Regiment, led by the regimental commander Hidemitsu Nakano himself.
The old devil Nakano Hidemitsu was also quite unlucky. He failed to achieve any decent results at Erguniangpo. Instead, Sano Torata's 23rd Infantry Regiment occupied Shanxian County. This made the self-esteemed Nakano Hidemitsu very unlucky.
I feel shameless because the 13th Infantry Regiment is the top main force of the Kumamoto Division.
However, something even more annoying to Hidemitsu Nakano was yet to come.
After Sano Torata's 23rd Infantry Regiment occupied Shanxian County without a fight, Nakano Hidemitsu immediately asked Okabe Naosaburo to fight and asked to be the pioneer of the division. Okabe Naosaburo liked this kind of courageous fighting for the lead.
He was so energetic that he immediately nodded and agreed to Nakano Hidemitsu's request to fight.
However, the reality is very cruel.
When the Thirteenth Infantry Regiment advanced to the vicinity of Daping Town, the subordinate First Infantry Battalion was too aggressive and widened the distance from the main force of the regiment. As a result, the Dameishan Independent Regiment seized the opportunity and launched a battle of annihilation.
By the time Nakano Hidemitsu led the main force of the regiment to arrive, the First Infantry Battalion had been basically wiped out.
Because of this, Hidemitsu Nakano was scolded by Naosaburo Okabe.
The only good thing is that the Kumamoto Division brought two supplementary regiments together this time, so the lost strength of the 13th Infantry Regiment was quickly replenished. However, Nakano Hidemitsu's honor will not be restored so quickly, so
, Hidemitsu Nakano worked hard to perform in the next arson operation.
Seeing that they were about to enter the hilly area where the Wolf Fang was ambushed, Hinata Shitaka, the captain of the second infantry battalion, handed over the saber he was wearing to his adjutant, as well as the coat, boots, military rank, etc., but he changed them before going out.
Well, this is also an effective strategy summed up by the Japanese army due to the power of the Wolf Fang.
It's really because Langya's marksmanship is so terrible. As soon as he enters the mountainous area, he wears a woolen coat, long riding boots, a saber with a ribbon on his waist, and carries a collar badge and shoulder straps with an officer with the rank of lieutenant or even sergeant. It's easy to become a Langya.
Prey, some people have made incomplete statistics. In the battle with Wolf Fang, the death rate of lieutenants is much higher than that of lieutenants, and the death rate of lieutenants is higher than that of soldiers.
Therefore, in order to protect the officers more effectively, Naosaburo Okabe issued an order. Before entering the mountains, all officers must change into ordinary equipment. They are not allowed to wear woolen coats, long riding boots, or ribbon sabers.
They were not even allowed to carry Southern-style pistols, but had to carry a 38-gun like ordinary soldiers.
Hinata Shigao's saber was given by Hirohito. This kid couldn't bear to keep it in the military camp and took it with him privately. However, seeing that he was about to fight with Lang Ya, this kid didn't dare to bring his own saber anymore.
He gave the saber to the adjutant. He didn't want to become the first target of Langya because of the saber.
It must be admitted that this order from Naosaburo Okabe is still very effective.
Because in the past two days, the officer death rate of the Kumamoto Division has dropped significantly.
Hinata Shiga handed the saber to his adjutant, then walked a few steps quickly to follow Hidemitsu Nakano, and whispered: "Captain, we are about to enter the Wolf Fang ambush area not far ahead."
Nakano Hidemitsu hummed and said: "Order the forward team to be more vigilant."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a sudden gunshot sounded on the ridge ahead. The next moment, the gunshots rang out. Nakano Hideko and Hyuga Shiga looked intently, and saw only fifty or so members of the forward team.
The officers and soldiers either lay down or crouched, and opened fire fiercely at the mountain ridge in front of them. The dense rain of bullets made the branches and leaves of the dead grass and trees on the mountain fly.
However, there was still no one on the ridge opposite, and the brave forward team was simply shooting indiscriminately.
However, just when Nakano Hidemitsu was about to order a ceasefire, the officers and soldiers of the forward team fell down one after another. In less than half a cup of tea, more than a dozen officers and soldiers had fallen into a pool of blood, and after they fell to the ground, they fell into a pool of blood.
The motionless look is obviously dangerous, yes, the wolf-toothed gun almost leaves no one alive!
Baga, Hidemitsu Nakano cursed and said angrily: "Where are these damn wolf fangs hiding?"
"It should be on the ridge in front." Hinata Shigao said with certainty, "The reason why the forward team aimed at the ridge in front of them to shoot is that they judged the approximate direction from the characteristics of the impact point. However, Langya used
They are all rifles equipped with silencers, so the exact location cannot be determined."
"Bagagaru." Nakano Hidemitsu said angrily, "The wolf fang is already difficult enough. Add a rifle with a silencer, how can we fight this battle?" With a muffled snort, Nakano Hidemitsu continued.
, "Hyuga Shi-san, you lead an infantry squadron to quietly outflank them from behind. You must find these wolf fangs and kill them!"
