Captain Yushi Ozawa felt a little worried at this time. The gunshots coming from the foot of the mountain made him understand that the men he sent to contact the headquarters encountered Chinese troops.
He was not worried about the safety of his most capable subordinate, Second Lieutenant Katase Yuya. From his understanding, in this dark night, as long as he did not encounter a large force of the Chinese army, he would send out the most powerful soldier in the entire squadron.
It is impossible for the team to have any opponents.
As long as the Chinese army does not exceed one battalion, they will all look like scum in front of their own squad of fully armed Imperial warriors.
These have already been proven in more than a year of battles with the Chinese army.
Even if the camp suffered a despicable sneak attack by the Chinese army tonight, he still would not think that the 13th Regiment, of which he was proud, would suffer a defeat.
Now, your Excellency, the captain, must be organizing troops to launch a ruthless encirclement and suppression of the Chinese army, and those courageous sneak attackers will bleed and their brains will burst when they encounter the iron walls of the imperial army.
He was just worried that if Second Lieutenant Yuya Katase would be held back by the Chinese army for a while, then he would not be able to understand the current situation of the battle, and he would not be able to exert the power of these artillery pieces in this dark night.
As the supreme commander of hundreds of Japanese troops on Heizui Mountain, he is no different from other fanatical young officers of the Japanese army. He also has a fiery heart to make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor.
But in tonight's rare large-scale night battle, if he can't participate in what he thinks is a siege of the Chinese army, he will regret it for the rest of his life. However, his responsibility cannot go down easily, so all hope is
It’s on Katase Yuya’s team.
At this moment, another grenade explosion and several shell gun shots were heard from down the mountain.
At this point, Captain Yuzhi Ozawa has basically deduced the course of the battle.’
It must have been Katase Yuya who first discovered the enemy. After destroying most of the enemy troops with machine guns, he launched the final charge. The poorly equipped Chinese troops could only fire grenades in their hands as a final resistance.
Sure enough, the silence that followed proved his conclusion that a few grenades could not cause much damage to the 1st Squadron. The silence now proved that his men had ended the battle with bayonets.
Next, I will get instructions from the command center soon.
So he turned to the messenger next to him and said: "Private Xiaomura, go and order the telephone soldier to stay close to the telephone. I think the call will be connected soon."
After that, he said to a lieutenant officer beside him: "Nishiura-kun, please order the artillery troops to prepare for the bombardment. As soon as you receive the bombardment parameters from the headquarters, you must fire out the artillery shells as soon as possible."
"Hey! Don't worry, Mr. Ozawa. I will give the order right away and will always be waiting for the order from the headquarters."
After Yushi Ozawa made the arrangements, he felt a little calmer, so he raised the telescope in his hand again and looked down the mountain.
At this moment, two flares, one red and one green, suddenly rose from the bottom of the mountain. Standing on the mountain, he felt that the two flares were like two flames coming straight to the top of the mountain. They shone dazzlingly in the telescope, making him
His eyes also felt a little uncomfortable.
But at this time, his head was a little confused. He asked Second Lieutenant Yuya Katase to bring a flare gun down the mountain. If he contacted the headquarters, he would fire a green flare. If there was the worst situation like the camp headquarters being destroyed by the Chinese army,
If so, fire a red flare.
But what the hell are the two flares, one red and one green?
It should be known that most of the commonly used signal flares in the world during this period were red, white, green, yellow and other colors. How to identify the signal flares of both the enemy and ourselves is mainly based on the combination of launch or judging from the launch position.
But now judging from the launch position, Ozawa Yushi thought that the flare was launched by Second Lieutenant Yuya Katase, but it was different from the previous agreement, so of course he was a little confused, and even cursed Second Lieutenant Yuya Katase in his heart for being stupid.
Egg.
But what he didn't know was that these two signal flares were fired from Zhou Mingyuan's signal gun. The reason for the combination of one red and one green signal was to prevent confusion with the flares fired by the Japanese and other friendly forces.
Also a little confused was Li Daming, who had already joined Zhou Mingyuan and the others.
Li Daming was now completely convinced by Zhou Mingyuan and his group of warrior kings. He was so convinced that he was embarrassed to ask them what method they used to kill these dozens of Japs without a sound.
So after the two sides met, he quickly instructed his men to take over the stretcher from the other person's hand. He did not dare to express his opinion on the rest of the matter, including how to guard and march.
The battlefield is the best place to test your ability. Who is more powerful and who has pustules? The result of the battle is the most convincing proof.
If you can't do it yourself, then just listen to others.
So when Zhou Mingyuan fired two flares into the sky, he didn't feel embarrassed to ask.
Of course, even if they asked Zhou Mingyuan, they wouldn't tell.
What does this signal mean? Of course, it is impossible for an officer of Li Daming's level to know, and there is no need to know.
This was the signal Zhou Wen sent to the 29th Army headquarters that he had successfully climbed to the top of Heizui Mountain, and it was also the signal for the troops that had already gathered at the foot of the mountain to start attacking the mountain.
Ozawa Yushi on the mountain was not confused for long, because soon someone and his subordinates came to report that Chinese troops were now gathering at the foot of the mountain in three directions: east, south, and north.
When Ozawa Yuzhi heard the news, his heart sank to the bottom.
This shows what?
This shows that the worst-case scenario he predicted before has occurred. Heizui Mountain is surrounded by the Chinese army, which means that the military camp at the foot of the mountain is occupied by the Chinese army.
"Baga! Are all the troops at the foot of the mountain pigs? The camp garrisoned by thousands of people was just captured by the Chinese army? "
At this time, Yushi Ozawa even felt like time and space were reversing. Shouldn't it be that the imperial army was accustomed to easily breaking through the Chinese army's camp? Why is it reversed now? Am I dreaming?
For this reason, he reached out and pinched his thigh quietly. The instant pain made him realize that he was not dreaming, but that the camp he had always had high hopes for and always had confidence in had indeed been breached by the Chinese army.
Now he no longer has time to consider the safety of the camp, but the issue of how to defend Heizui Mountain.
The terrain on the south side of Heizui Mountain is relatively gentle. Although it is possible to go up the mountain on the east and north sides, the mountain roads are rugged and the troops cannot be used at all.
Therefore, the main attack direction of the Chinese army can only be to the south, and the east and north are all feint attacks.
