Chapter 1033 A chain reaction caused by a pig! (Please ask for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month!)
On a starless night, Azhen did not meet Aqiang!
But Ito Yota unexpectedly strengthened his strength, although he didn't really think about it.
It was a team of about 360 people, including not only infantry, but also artillery and engineers.
Not only did it carry rifles, machine guns, and even an infantry cannon, this was a miracle when the Chinese army sent a large number of troops into the mountains to intercept them.
It turns out that the miracle was brought by an old Chinese woodcutter who had lived in the mountains for a long time.
The old woodcutter, who is over 60 years old, has lived alone in the mountains for more than 15 years. He is almost isolated from outside information. He knows nothing about Japan and what is not Japanese. More than ten years of living alone has made him unable to even speak.
Then, he was caught by the remnants of the Japanese army who were eager to escape. The mountains here were a disaster for the Chinese and Japanese armies, but to this old man, it was nothing.
Originally, this old Chinese man was also stubborn and would keep silent no matter what he said to the foreigners who were chirping in ghost language. However, the desperate Japanese army threatened him with a small wild boar raised by the old man, but the old man gave in.
At first glance, the little wild boar was definitely not more than half a year old, but it was smooth and smooth, in sharp contrast to the skinny old man. Moreover, it was very clean and had no ropes to bind it. When the old man was caught, it was still angry. If you want to bite someone, it's better for the old man to control himself.
It should be that the old man who has lived in the mountains for a long time is too lonely and treats the little wild boar he picked up as his own child, and he will never eat meat when he grows up. The Japanese are not stupid, and they can still observe the relationship between humans and pigs through bits and pieces.
It's just that they didn't expect that the old man valued the little pig so much that he would give in so easily.
The old man led the Japanese army along a forest trail. Although it was still rugged and difficult to navigate, it miraculously bypassed the two lines of defense set up by the reconnaissance company and the first battalion of the Fourth Army Regiment until they ran into each other at dawn. The sentries set up by Yin Teng Youtai and his party.
To be honest, in the refreshing mountain breeze, Yin Teng Youta, who had almost escaped, saw this 360-man remnant army. Even though the number of troops under his command instantly expanded to 500 people, they also had four heavy machine guns and The heavy firepower of an infantry cannon did not make him happy at all.
Not only did he know that this might be the last survivor of the Second Mixed Brigade, but more importantly, the more people there were at this time, the greater the possibility of exposure.
Moreover, the **** squadron with only 140 people left had only three days of food rations. Looking at the haste of those guys escaping, apart from guns and ammunition, they didn't even bring a rice ball. Damn it, what a big guy, what will happen to him tomorrow? The Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff have to drink the northwest wind to survive.
As for Yamashita, besides moaning on the stretcher, what else can he do? If it weren't for his stupid choice, how could the brigade end up where it is now?
Yin Teng Youta, who had been in pain all night, almost didn't bother to look at the pale face of the head of the Yamabumi Brigade at the moment.
However, Yamashita was still awake for a few minutes at dawn. However, after seeing the more than 300 remnants of the army in a panic, he knew that the brigade's defense line had been breached during the day yesterday, and there were still 3,500 people left when they left. After only two or three of the big cats and kittens he saw were left in the army, a mouthful of blood spurted out Lieutenant Colonel Ito Yota, who pretended to be attentive and helped him get up.
If he hadn't still needed this mascot to serve as the loyal No. 140 member of the **** squadron, Yin Tengyang would have thrown this old guy into the ravine to feed the wolves long ago.
“Burn the brigade flag!” This was the military order issued by Major General Yamashita when he fell into coma again.
In the slightly cold mountain wind, Yota Yin Teng couldn't help but shiver! This shows that Yamashita, who has fallen into coma again, is extremely desperate to get out of this mountainous area. He even thinks that the last 500 people in the brigade will be overtaken by the Chinese and killed in this Chinese mountain.
Although he had a lot of complaints about Yamashita, Yoto Yoto knew that in terms of his judgment on the battle situation, he could not keep up with his immediate boss.
The frustrated Japanese army began to burn paper, no, burn flags on the rugged mountain road.
There is no longer the solemn and tragic sight of the flag guards marching in front of the imperial warriors when the military flag is "burned". It is the flag guard lieutenant in the brigade guard who takes out the carefully guarded brigade flag and flagpole. The oil was directly ignited on the covering of dead leaves, and turned into a ball of ashes under the melancholy gaze of a limited number of officers.
It's not that Yin Tengyouta doesn't want to express his respect for the brigade flag given by His Majesty the Emperor, but the mountain road is too narrow and it would be difficult for two people to stand on it. If the flag guards want to start and walk in a queue, , everyone else, including him, the supreme commander, had to jump to the mountain and watch the ceremony while holding the tree trunk.
What does that look like? A group of monkeys? Or a Japanese horse monkey.
At this time, the sound of gunfire in the distance sounded again.
All the Japanese soldiers knew that the Chinese could not wait to start searching the mountains. They should now use superior force to blast out the prey that may be hidden in the mountains like traditional hunting, and then kill them one by one.
Whether you are alone or in a team of dozens of people, there is almost no possibility of survival in the face of this kind of search.
Actually, even if you are lucky enough to escape, the outcome of not having any food supplies in such a big mountain is still a death.
If these 500 people want to survive, they must leave here before the main force of China arrives here, as far away as possible.
A Japanese second lieutenant raised his rifle against the head of a young wild boar that was eating grass on the grass, forcing the old man who looked extremely tired to continue leading the way.
Take the kind of back roads that Chinese soldiers will not take.
It's okay if you didn't see it with your own eyes, but when you saw this extremely funny scene with your own eyes, Lieutenant Colonel Yoto Yota, who had veins jumping in his temples, really wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill these embarrassing guys.
When did the mighty Imperial Japanese Army resort to threatening a pig to find a way out?
But the facts are right in front of us. If it weren't for the existence of this sleek and semi-large wild boar, the gray-haired old Chinese man would probably have thought of jumping off the cliff.
It's a pity that we can't worry about this person or that person!
The old man once again succumbed to the 'cutie' he raised.
We could only continue to lead the way for this group of foreigners who spoke ghost language. Several Japanese officers who were proficient in Chinese finally understood from the old man's vague Jin Province dialect. No matter which road we took, the small mountainous area at the junction of the mountains It must be passed.
It took more than two hours for hundreds of Japanese troops to walk to the mountainous area that the old man talked about. Most of the Japanese troops stayed in the dense forest, waiting to send out elite soldiers to the left and right wings for reconnaissance.
Half an hour later, the reconnaissance results were placed in front of the anxious Yin Teng Youta. It was undoubtedly a painful result.
Not only are there Chinese here, but the Chinese defense line in this mountainous area is more than 1,000 meters long. The areas where there are no Chinese soldiers are either cliffs or cliffs. If you want to take a detour, you will have to get wings and become a birdman.
This is a dead end, a dead end!
But all the Japanese troops knew that it was impossible for them to turn back. The Chinese who were chasing them and the difficult mountain road would not give them another two hours.
There is no choice but to attack the Chinese defense line. If you get through, you will live. If you cannot get through, you will die.
Finally, the advantage of gathering more than 360 remaining Japanese troops was revealed. Into Yota had a total of 500 soldiers in his hands, and he was at least capable of fighting. He organized the 500 people who had been completely broken up into 7 infantry squads, a heavy machine gun squad and an infantry artillery squad. In order to ensure that the 7 infantry squads had sufficient execution capabilities, their squad leaders were all lieutenants from the **** squadron.
Moreover, in order to ensure the loyalty of this group of defeated soldiers, Yota Into ordered the staff officers to record the name and original brigade and squadron of each soldier during the march, and deceived them that if there were deserters, their names would be broadcast over the radio Report to headquarters.
How do a group of defeated soldiers know that their Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff, who looks like a lost dog, doesn't even have a field radio? If you really want to be called a deserter, your family members in the country will also be affected, which is more terrifying than death.
After being coaxed by Yin Teng Youta in this way, coupled with the already strict hierarchy in the Japanese army, why don't you still obey orders obediently?
One infantry squad is responsible for guarding the safety of the commander, six infantry squads are responsible for attacking the highlands where Chinese people are active, and the heavy machine gun squad provides fire cover for the infantry in the rear.
At the very rear was the artillery team that had moved the infantry cannon up the hillside. Before the six infantry teams started to attack, they poured the few artillery shells they carried onto the hilltop occupied by the first battalion, second company and one platoon.
It can only be said that Yin Teng Youta was really lucky. If he had not encountered the remnants of this brigade, and these Japanese still had infantry artillery, then he would have had to wait to die in the mountains, unlike now, at least There is still a chance to fight to the death.
With the help of this infantry artillery and as many as ten grenades, the Japanese offensive was pretty much what it was. Amidst the raging fire of artillery shells and grenade grenades, flames burst out on the two hills. They had just been built last night. The sandbag fortifications were blown into a mess.
The Japanese infantry, who believed that if they didn't win or die, they attacked from the first commanding heights before their own artillery fire had completely stopped.
Although the Japanese army is not a master of mountain warfare, they have a strong learning ability. They did not rush into the mountains while their own firepower suppressed the Chinese. They knew that once the Chinese regained their composure and used machine guns to shoot down from above, they would Within a few hundred meters, almost no one can escape. They must seize one or two commanding heights to ensure that most of their own people can escape into the mountains. At that time, the real dragon will return to the sea, and it depends on who can escape.
The Japanese soldiers who often undergo endurance training are very confident. When it comes to running, they are very strong. Although it was a bit embarrassing to take away the marching ability that I was once proud of, but at this time, no one could care about it. Short legs also have the advantage of being faster, right?
The reaction of the first platoon was not unpleasant. Through observation, they found that the Japanese army was not just a few dozen people, but a large force with heavy machine guns and infantry artillery. There were hundreds of people at least. They fired three red flares to ask for help from the company headquarters. , while organizing a counterattack.
Although there is currently only one mortar, it is not a living thing. It continuously bombards the Japanese infantry artillery to suppress fire, making it impossible for the Japanese infantry artillery to fully cover the infantry.
Over there, Wei Donglai was also shocked when he received the request for help.
He knew the personality of his platoon leader very well. Unless there was an emergency, he would never use the three highest-level red flares to call for help. And to allow an infantry platoon occupying high ground with a strength of more than 80 people to ask for help, it only shows that the strength of the Japanese troops attacking its defense line far exceeds their defense capabilities.
Without bothering to find out why there were so many Japanese troops here, Wei Donglai, who was still more than 2,000 meters away, quickly mobilized troops from the defense line and reported the situation to Lei Xiong via radio.
Lei Xiong was also stunned, but he reacted quickly and immediately dispatched three infantry platoons to move closer to the 1st Platoon of the 2nd Company.
But when marching in mountainous areas, you can see the opponent's figure even if you stand on the opposite side. It may take a long time to reach the opponent's position. This is also the main reason why folk songs are popular among young men and women in the mountains. You can fall in love just by shouting, and you don't just have to look at faces. It's like a long-distance relationship in the mountains.
For a long period of time, the first platoon and the second platoon not far away who were deploying troops to support could only rely on themselves.
On the Japanese side, after several tentative attacks, they suffered dozens of casualties. The casualties were not very heavy, and they were not wasted.
Although they have not found a way to bypass the Chinese army's defense line, they have asked Yin Teng Youta, who was standing on the hillside to observe with a telescope, to draw a rough defense zone map based on the area where the Chinese army opened fire.
On the nearly 1,000-meter defense line, the Chinese used the commanding heights of the mountains as their points. Five or six commanding heights that were staggered and 200 meters away were connected to each other to form a line.
There may be others in the rear, but that will happen in the future. If they cannot break out of this line, they will not even be qualified to see the Chinese behind them.
Therefore, at the back, according to the characteristics of the Chinese army's defense zone, Yin Tengyang Tai quickly adjusted his troop deployment. Instead of attacking from three directions, he changed it to two routes.
Three infantry squads of about 170 people are deployed in each direction. The attack points are the flanks of the entire defense line, one on the left and one on the right. Although the mountain road will be more difficult to walk, the blows encountered may also be slightly smaller.
As long as any one of the mountains can be captured, perhaps the entire army can escape from this.
This kind of defense line formed by the hilltops seems to be very strong, but in fact it is also very weak. They are unable to continuously send troops to one of the hilltops. As long as one of the points is captured, the entire line of defense will be torn apart. Although the line of defense will not collapse, it will at least be like a large net that has been torn open, and can no longer stop the fish in the net from escaping.
Furthermore, Yin Teng Youta determined based on his observations just now that in order to cast a large net to catch more fish that slip through the net, the Chinese will never invest too many troops in one area.
The number of Chinese here will not exceed 100. Even if they have the advantage of terrain, there is a huge gap in the strength of the two sides.
After all, even he himself did not expect that so many troops would miraculously be assembled. How could the Chinese have made such a budget?
At this moment, Yin Teng Youta couldn't help but think of what Yamashita said before being knocked unconscious by the shell: No matter how bad the card is, it must be played to the end, otherwise who can know the winner or lose?
The current situation may be that the Chinese have a good hand, but play the wrong hand in order to win more, and they have a bad hand, but have the last laugh.
Yin Tengyota's idea is quite beautiful.
If you encounter an ordinary Chinese army, you may only be able to watch them capture one of the mountains regardless of heavy casualties, and then cover the main force and rush into the mountains to escape.
You must know that Yin Teng Youta was mentally prepared to sacrifice all six infantry squads as cannon fodder.
Unfortunately, what he encountered was the Si Xing Regiment, and it was the First Battalion and Second Company awarded the title of 'Steel Company' by the Si Xing Regiment.
Although recruits account for half of the group, the skeleton is composed of elite veterans supported by various infantry companies.
From the moment they entered the second company, the recruits knew how their infantry company's title of "Steel Company" came from. It was earned by their seniors with a 99% casualty rate.
The soldiers of the "Steel Company", no matter what situation they encounter, must stick to their position like steel until they are melted by the raging artillery fire.
But the Steel Company definitely does not mean to go to the battlefield to die. The First Battalion also gave the Steel Company sufficient and sophisticated equipment at all costs.
The individual equipment of the officers and soldiers of the Steel Company is a semi-automatic rifle paired with a submachine gun and a shell gun. Even if there is a single-shot rifle, it is mostly used by precision shooters.
Not to mention that an infantry squad also has Czech light machine guns and Japanese grenade launchers.
Light firepower configuration, even if there are only 80 men in one row, it is not weaker than the Japanese army of 340 men.
