The continuous bomb explosions made Major General Ono feel aggrieved and helpless.
More importantly, the noisy and chaotic environment made it impossible for him to rest, and he did not dare to go to bed to rest.
Because no one knows where the next cannonball will hit and explode.
Under such circumstances, in order not to become the first Imperial Army major general to be killed in a bombing on the Chinese battlefield, Ono decisively decided to give up rest and stay at the temporary headquarters under the protection of guards, keeping alert at all times and preparing for retreat.
Just as he was thinking calmly about how to attack tomorrow, the tent door was suddenly opened, and the chief of staff rushed in.
"General, the high ground on the top of the mountain where the Independent Regiment was facing off was attacked by the Eighth Route Army. The troops are counterattacking. The current situation of the battle is unknown!"
Ono's already frowning frown deepened at this time, and he replied in a deep voice: "It seems that the independent regiment has also taken a fancy to this hilltop highland, otherwise they would not attack the hilltop highland as soon as they came up. We ordered our troops to guard the hilltop.
, we must repel the Eighth Route Army attack!"
"Hi!" the chief of staff rushed out immediately.
But not long after, the chief of staff rushed over again, more nervous and anxious than before.
"General, the defenders at the top of the mountain reported that the Eighth Route Army appeared directly on the top of the mountain somehow. Our troops have suffered heavy losses and are about to be unable to withstand it!"
"Nani? How could this happen?" Ono immediately stared at the map with his eyes.
After frowning and thinking for almost half a minute, he decisively ordered: "Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army must have been prepared on the top of the mountain. We have been fooled again!"
"Order the garrison at the top of the mountain to retreat at once, and the garrison at the third line of defense of the independent mountainside defense regiment will respond!"
"Also, order the imperial army defending the second line of defense to bring artillery to respond immediately. So far, the Eighth Route Army has not used their infantry artillery and mountain artillery. If they are not mobilized immediately, I am worried that they will be
The Eighth Route Army was completely wiped out!"
No one knows the current losses of the army better than the Chief of Staff. In this case, if the hundreds of imperial troops in front are gone, the imperial army will really lose its offensive capabilities.
I didn't dare to tell Ono about the casualties last night, and now that the situation is so bad, Ono doesn't even dare to report it.
At this time, he had only one idea: to immediately execute the order and send troops to reinforce the frontline troops and rescue them from danger.
Although the three lines of defense in front of the enemy headquarters of the Independent Regiment were occupied by the Japanese army, because of the high mountains and dense forests around the position, it was easy to lurk some intelligence personnel. Every move of the Japanese army on the entire battlefield was easily transmitted to the enemy in front of the Independent Regiment.
Headquarters.
Less than ten minutes after the Japanese troops stationed on the second line of defense left their positions, Wang Ping received the news.
"Regiment commander, the political commissar telegraphed that a Japs from the strengthened squadron are coming here with mortars! The political commissar asked us to end the battle quickly and retreat!" The communications soldier picked up the telegram he had just received and touched Wang Ping's side to report.
"A reinforced squadron contains more than two hundred Japanese!" Wang Ping analyzed with a frown.
But after saying this sentence, Wang Ping stopped speaking. Instead, he fell into deep thought and said nothing.
"Captain, I think the political commissar is right. In a head-on decisive battle, the Japs have too many advantages." Zhong Yusheng, the guard company commander next to him, was also very anxious.
"Although we have one battalion and another company, the total strength of our troops is not even one battalion. Moreover, when Battalion Commander Zhang made a surprise attack on the hilltop, he had to face more than 600 Japanese soldiers, and the casualties would definitely be huge. Then against a reinforced Japanese squadron, and...
A strengthened squadron is prepared, and I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it."
"Even if we really manage to eat them in the end, we will end up fighting to the death and lose both sides!"
Wang Ping still didn't speak. At this moment, the platoon leader of the guard company next to him suddenly shouted.
"Captain, the Japs on the top of the mountain were driven down by the Second Battalion and are running for their lives in this direction!"
"How many little devils are left!" Wang Ping asked subconsciously, and he also raised his telescope to observe carefully.
"Less than a squadron of Japanese!" Zhong Yusheng immediately gave Wang Ping an answer!
Wang Ping added: "There are a lot of Japs with technical arms inside, and they don't even have rifles. The Japs who can fight probably don't even have two infantry squads!"
Immediately afterwards, a scout came over from the front: "Captain, the Japanese and puppet troops on the position were taken away by a company of the Imperial Army and many Japanese, and three machine guns were also taken away!"
Zhong Yusheng immediately realized that a huge fighter plane was in front of him, and immediately reminded Wang Ping: "Captain, the opportunity is right in front of you. There are less than two companies of the Imperial Association Army left in front of you, and there are only three machine guns. Here.
I have two minutes, and I will definitely lead the team into the Japanese and puppet army positions!"
"No! Retreat!" Surprisingly, Wang Ping missed the great opportunity and directly ordered himself to retreat.
Then he made an astonishing analysis: "Even if we end up losing both sides, we still have to eat up a reinforced squadron reinforced by the Japanese."
"If we eat them now, we may have to pay a heavy price due to insufficient troops and tired soldiers. However, if we want to eat one of their reinforced squadrons after dawn, we may have to pay more than twice the price!"
"Let's go and block the Japanese reinforcements. The Japanese and puppet troops here will be handed over to Captain Zhang Yunshan. Zhong will leave a squad to guard and cooperate with the second battalion to capture the prisoners. You take the others to retreat and go around to the middle of the second and third lines of defense.
Block the retreat of the Japanese reinforcements!"
"Xiao Wang, you immediately go around to the second battalion, find Zhang Yunshan, and tell him that the Japanese have come to strengthen a squadron, and I will lead the guard company to hold them back. The second battalion must eat up the Japanese and puppet troops on the position in the shortest possible time, and then lead
Soldiers who can still fight, reinforce me and destroy the Japanese reinforcements!"
In fact, Wang Ping still didn't say a word in his heart. With the reinforcement of a reinforced squadron from the Japanese army, the number of Japanese troops eliminated by the independent regiment tonight was almost a thousand.
Apart from these Japs, Ono's remaining troops do not have much offensive capability.
In order to make tomorrow's battle better, I would not hesitate to use up the entire second battalion and the guard company today.
When Zhang Yunshan received the order, the troops were condescendingly massacring the Japanese and puppet intercepting troops.
As more and more Japanese and puppet troops were killed, the puppet troops who were mobilized later lost the courage to continue fighting.
No matter how the little devils and officers around ordered them to fight back, they pretended to be beaten to death and lay motionless on the ground.
According to Zhang Yunshan's idea, it would be best for the troops to fight here for a few more minutes and kill more enemies.
But thinking that the regiment commander had to fight against a reinforced Japanese squadron with less than two platoons of troops, Zhang Yunshan became anxious.
The development of the Independent Regiment cannot be separated from the leader. In addition, the political commissar gave a fatal order before departure. Zhang Yunshan could not let the leader take risks no matter what.
Without saying a word, he directly ordered: "Commander, blow the charge horn, charge everyone, and end the battle quickly!"
"Da da da!" A dozen machine gunners lying on the ground held their machine guns in their arms, fired wildly at the Japanese position dozens of meters away, and then rushed forward desperately.
The deputy shooter and rifleman follow closely behind and can make up for it at any time!
