Wadong Village is a small village next to the highway, less than 500 meters away from the highway.
Because there is a high ground next to the village and the road, you can overlook the entire village and the road. If you put two heavy machine guns on the high ground, the firepower of the heavy machine guns can completely block the entire section of the road.
Standing on a bare high ground without any fortifications on a freezing cold night is definitely a very torturous thing.
Therefore, the more than two hundred little Japs stationed here did not camp directly on the top of the mountain.
Except for a small group of troops who were on guard at the top of the mountain, the remaining nearly two hundred little Japs were stationed at the foot of the mountain to rest on the leeward side.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Wadong Village was quiet except for the whistling wind, and there was no other sound.
There were dozens of Japs guarding the top of the mountain. Although there were three bonfires set up among them, the biting cold wind still made them shiver and feel a chill.
Except for the six little devils, they were walking around on the top of the mountain in pairs, with their heads hidden in their military coats, and looking up from time to time to look around.
The remaining dozens of Japs were all sitting around three bonfires, wishing they could hide their entire bodies under their military coats.
In the Japanese camp on the back of the highland, more than 20 tents were lined up in two rows, with several bonfires scattered among the tents, lighting up the entire camp!
Except for a dozen sentries and patrols, there was no movement at Nuoda's station.
In the darkness more than 200 meters away from the village, two companies of more than 180 cavalrymen came here silently.
Seeing that there was no movement at the Japs station, the deputy battalion commander who led the team put away his binoculars and ordered in a low voice: "Everyone mount up and prepare for the assault!"
More than 180 cavalrymen all mounted their horses and began to drive their horses forward slowly, making almost no movement.
Coupled with the cover of the wind, the Japanese more than a hundred meters away did not notice anything.
It wasn't until they rushed a hundred meters away from the station that the little Japanese sentries on guard on the high ground realized the danger.
"Pa bang..."
Two gunshots broke the tranquility of the night.
The deputy battalion commander, who was driving the war horse Huang slowly forward, kicked the horse hard on his crotch and shouted loudly.
"Cavalry battalion, charge forward and kill the little devils in front..."
"Rumble..."
Soon, the battlefield was filled with the sound of huge horse hooves, which reached the ears of the Japanese like thunder.
"Ta-ta-ta..." Two light machine guns on the high ground fired rapidly in the direction of the cavalry camp, and the whizzing bullets flew towards the cavalry camp as if they were free of charge.
However, the cavalry was too fast and was very close to the station. It lost less than twenty cavalry before it entered the chaotic Japanese station...
In less than half an hour, all the more than 200 Japanese soldiers stationed there were killed.
The same thing happened at another Japanese garrison along the highway, because the cavalry assault was too fast and the Japanese were completely wiped out. The two reinforced squadrons did not send out any distress signal until the entire army was destroyed!
After killing two reinforced squadrons, the cavalry battalion did not stop and continued to kill the next target!
At Songshan Pass, facing the stronghold that had been bombed into ruins, the Japs squadron leader who hurried over was heartbroken.
No one could guarantee whether there would be unexploded artillery shells buried in the ruins. In order to avoid an accident, the squadron leader decisively ordered the troops to abandon their stronghold and station themselves on the mountainside next to the stronghold.
When Rong Jun led his troops to the foot of the mountain, the Japanese army had already built a ring of fortifications halfway up the mountain in the direction of the base.
As for the occupied area, only one squad of Japanese soldiers were arranged to guard the top of the mountain.
"Three to four hundred little devils escaped from under our noses last night. Tonight, we must not let them escape again under any circumstances!"
"In a row, we will go back to the enemy's front and lurk. Once the enemy decides to break out from the front, we will resolutely repel them!"
"Second Company, Third Company, detour to their left and right wings. After seeing my three flares, launch an attack immediately!"
"I personally commanded the guard company. We reached the top of the mountain and launched an assault directly from behind the Japanese..."
The Japanese never imagined that their enemies would come from behind.
The thirteen little Japs guarding the top of the mountain were not alert at all. Except for two Japs shivering in the cold wind who were on duty, the remaining eleven Japs huddled in a corner of the stronghold that had not been blown down to keep warm.
The reconnaissance platoon of the fourth battalion were all elite veterans who had been eliminated from the direct team. They easily reached the top of the mountain, and then, under the cover of ruins and broken walls, they reached the vicinity of the two Japanese soldiers. Four soldiers approached them like ghosts.
The two semi-confused Japanese soldiers had not yet recovered from the shock when four bayonets emitting cold light were pierced into their bodies at the same time.
After killing the remaining eleven semi-asleep Japs using the same method, the guard company directly occupied the high ground!
"Battal Commander, the Japs are right under our noses. We guarantee to kill them with one strike!" Looking at the unaware Japs halfway up the mountain, the guard company commander shouted with excitement on his face.
"There is no problem in killing them, but we must minimize the casualties!" Rong Jun shook his head and replied.
Then he ordered: "Grenade, just use the bomb to kill them."
"The troops moved forward quietly, and when they got close to the Japs' position, they threw all the grenades they carried into the Japs' position. They first blew up most of the Japs, and then attacked..."
There were no surprises in the entire battle. When grenades rained down from the sky, the little Japs on the battlefield had not yet realized the danger.
It wasn't until the explosion sounded around them that the Japanese reacted, and then they threw themselves down in the trench with their heads in their hands.
If the grenades were thrown up from the foot of the mountain, many of them might not be able to fall into the trenches.
However, the grenade came from behind them.
The guard company threw grenades from a high position. Although the hit rate was not accurate, 70% to 80% of the grenades still hit the trenches accurately.
The dense rain of grenades came one after another, and the violent explosion lasted for a full minute before stopping.
Facing the position that was completely filled with gunpowder smoke, Rong Jun did not hesitate and decisively fired the signal gun in his hand...
"Squadron leader, we are surrounded... Behind us and on both sides are the Eighth Route Army. They are coming to kill us~" The still-living adjutant climbed up to the squadron leader and shouted with fear on his face.
It was with great difficulty that the squadron leader was pulled out of the mud, but half of his head had been blown off.
"The squadron leader died in battle!" the guard next to him shouted.
The adjutant's frightened face showed an expression of despair. It wasn't until a hail of bullets hit his side, beating a soldier into a sieve, that he realized his despair.
"The squadron leader is dead. Everyone obeys me... Those who can still move, all break out from the front with me... The wounded who cannot move, fight back on the spot to buy us time. The position cannot be defended. How many people can break out?"
Just break out as many people as you want!"
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
More than fifty Japanese soldiers followed him. He had just rushed forward less than thirty meters when a burst of gunfire rang out directly in front of him.
Seven or eight Japanese were beaten into sieves on the spot, fell to the ground, and then rolled towards the foot of the mountain.
The remaining Japanese soldiers subconsciously lay down on the ground to fight back. However, everything that could be hidden around them was completely cleared by the imperial army who built the stronghold in the first place. There was no way to hide.
At this moment, the Eighth Route Army behind and on both sides also came over to kill them. Bullets and grenades were flying towards them like rain!
