Chapter 651 Must be cautious
It is not as easy as the attacking Japanese army to withdraw from the battlefield.
Of course, the Japanese army was also on guard against the Chinese army, although they knew that the Chinese army was small in strength and did not have enough strength to rush down the high ground and cause damage to the retreating army.
But, what if!
Didn't the Chinese come at night and use the black tiger to rip out the heart and deliver a fatal blow to the artillery position at the rear of the army?
The furious Kunisaki would not make such a low-level mistake, so he also dropped the reconnaissance troops on the nearby mountains, not only to ensure safety, but also to observe the next moves of the Chinese, and to regain fire support. Enter the battlefield again and make tactical plans in advance to be prepared.
For this small group of Japanese troops hidden in the mountains and forests, Tang Dao did not spend any effort to find them this time.
After continuous marching and fighting, his soldiers were too tired and they needed enough rest.
Except for high ground No. 3, which had no troops stationed, only two infantry companies were stationed on the other two highlands. All the remaining soldiers retreated three kilometers and entered a long and narrow valley for repairs.
This is to prevent the Japanese infantry from turning around, and also to avoid being bombed by Japanese naval fighter planes and reduce unnecessary losses.
Sure enough, within two hours of the Kunisaki detachment retreating, an overwhelming swarm of bombers appeared in the sky.
Heisuke Yanagawa was furious when he learned that the Kunisaki detachment had suffered a **** encounter in front of several hilltop positions. He directly sent a telegram to His Royal Highness the Prince who had just taken over as the commander of the Songhu Expeditionary Army to request air support.
The Japanese Army's fighter planes are basically still on Taiwan Island at the moment, so the so-called air support can only come from the Navy.
The number one culprit of the Jinling massacre may have ordinary military ability, but he holds a high position and is a radical in Japan. Both the Japanese navy and army have to sell his face. His orders are certainly not comparable to those of an army general like Matsui Iwane. of.
In addition, the Third Fleet destroyed two fighter planes again yesterday and hated this mountainous position. At that time, it dispatched 36 fighter planes in a mighty manner. The number of fighter sorties dispatched was the highest in the half month after the Songhu Battle.
The intelligence stations along the Songhu to Jinling line were transmitting radio waves frequently, and the city of Jinling was even more trembling. Everyone thought that this huge fleet of aircraft taking off from the sea was coming to bomb Jinling. .
In fact, except for the big city of Jinling, there is no other target that is worthy of the Japanese army dispatching such a huge fleet.
But everyone was wrong, this huge fleet of aircraft pounced viciously towards the mountainous area.
Knowing that the Kunisaki detachment had evacuated, the 36 fighter planes had no scruples. They opened their bomb bays at an altitude of 1,200 meters and dropped nearly a hundred large and small aerial bombs.
Moreover, this time the Japanese naval pilots learned smartly and knew that there were trenches and tunnels on the highlands, with limited damage. Their main bombing target this time was the mountains and forests surrounding the highlands.
In this case, the Chinese reserve team and various auxiliary personnel can be captured in one fell swoop.
There are fortifications and trenches on the blocking position. We can't build these in the rear as well! The Japanese logic is actually correct.
A mountainous area with a radius of one square kilometer was blown into a sea of flames.
If Tang Dao had allowed his troops to stay for one more hour, I am afraid the losses they would have suffered would not have been smaller than yesterday's day of fierce fighting.
Fortunately, the main force hid in a valley far away from the position. Except for a few people who were injured by the loose gravel from the huge explosion more than two kilometers away, there were basically no other losses.
Since the two infantry companies located on the high ground did not have to worry about Japanese infantry attacks and did not leave any observation posts, they all hid in the tunnels before the Japanese fighter planes arrived.
After a round of hell-level bombing, the officers and soldiers in the tunnel were frightened half to death and turned into groundhogs covered in dust.
In addition, the large amount of aviation kerosene and bombs consumed by the Japanese navy did not play any other role.
Until nighttime, after receiving Tang Dao's telegram, the two light infantry companies quietly withdrew from the battlefield, followed the traces of the main force, and continued to evacuate deep into the mountains of southern Anhui.
The Mouse Mountain blocking battle is now completely over.
The main position plus the night attack battle, the total battle was only one day and one night, but it was able to block the fierce flames of the Guoqi detachment and the 1st Brigade of the Jing'an Army around Guangde City for four days.
It was not until the arrival of the artillery brigade of the 36th Infantry Brigade and the baggage train of the 18th Division that Kunizaki sent the vanguard of an infantry brigade to Mouse Mountain again.
The commander responsible for leading this infantry brigade was none other than Colonel Takeuchi Unzan, who continuously commanded the 1st Brigade of the Jing'an Army and his own infantry brigade on Highland 3, but was beaten until his face was swollen.
Although in the early morning of that day, he clumsily hugged Major General Kunizaki who was spewing blood, his pounding heart still betrayed his excitement.
In any case, Kunizaki, who had an extremely keen sense of emotion at the time, would never think that this LSP felt anything about his butt. I am afraid that he was more looking forward to the position below his butt. Therefore, His Excellency Colonel Takeuchi Unzan took an infantry brigade and became the arrowhead of the entire army as a matter of course.
Of course I can't chop off your head as a major general, but the Chinese dream of it, and Major General Kunizaki is very skilled in killing people with borrowed swords.
But for Takeuchi Yunshan, who is already in his forties, he is not someone who can be manipulated by a major general.
How can you ask me to lead an infantry brigade to conquer several highlands that cannot be conquered by a single detachment? Do you think I am stupid?
Arriving near a quiet highland, the Japanese colonel, who had been swollen by the Chinese army, had no intention of testing the attack at all. Instead, he and his subordinate captain each took a telescope and looked at the hilltop hundreds of meters away. Take a sharp look.
It seems that as long as he dares to look, the devil of the Chinese army will be exposed.
Ever since, a whole morning passed in the "caution" of His Excellency Colonel Takeuchi Unzan.
It wasn't until Kunisaki couldn't hold himself back any longer and was about to lead his army to the position that the Japanese infantry brigade had dug all morning, that Takeuchi Yunshan sent two infantry detachments to 'deliver food'.
The strange smell in Highland No. 3 was so strong that even after several days, the mountain wind did not blow it away.
The two teams subconsciously chose Highland 1 and Highland 2.
At that moment, no one knew whether the thirty Japanese soldiers were greeting Takeuchi Yunshan's 18th generation maternal line or Kunizaki Zheng. However, they climbed the hillside at an altitude of two to three hundred meters for a full half an hour.
It was really climbing. From a position more than 400 meters away from the top of the mountain, we started crawling.
Looking from a distance, it looks like thirty green-headed turtles.
Compared to the **** yellow color on their bodies, the color of the 90 Steel Helmets is really too green.
Damn military industrialists, why does Mao have to be painted in such a green color? It feels so weird. Remembering that he had been away from home for a long time and his wife lived alone, for a moment, the Japanese infantrymen on the battlefield felt that this green color could never be erased in their lifetime.
There was no terrible blow. There was no one on the Chinese position. Thirty Japanese soldiers who did not know that they had caused great psychological pressure to their colleagues excitedly waved the small sun flag on their rifles on the top of the mountain.
The cheers of "board load" made Takeuchi Yunshan unable to hold back tears at that moment.
It was not because it was so easy to occupy the Chinese position that had been difficult to conquer for a long time, but because
It's great. I don't have to fight with the Chinese anymore. This feels so wonderful!
But obviously, the next few days and nights proved that dreams are full, but reality is skinny!
If you don't fight here, fight there!
Just like the future war model, as long as the Japanese army is still on Chinese soil, there will be battlefields everywhere.
The same is true for Guangde.
The Mouse Mountain is no longer there, there are more mountains waiting for them until they get out of this mountainous area.
The key is how many people can get out of the mountainous area.
However, at this time, Takeuchi Yunshan could not think of such a long-term future.
He, the captain of the Green-Headed Turtles, can proudly give an order to the Major General's detachment commander who can't even vomit blood to death: "The Chinese have been repulsed, and our imperial army will continue to advance towards Jinling!"
“Bah!” Kunizaki stared blankly at the sun that was gradually setting towards the west. He wanted to spit out a thick mouthful of phlegm on the fairly straight face of his subordinate Zhong Jiang.
A few deserted highlands have blocked the army's one-day journey. Do you know that?
PS: The college started school today, with meetings from 8:30 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. In the evening, I went back to the old lady's place to spend the holidays with them. I just finished writing two chapters. I'm sorry for the late update!
By the way, let me give you a warning for old book friends. The old books will be out in the next two days. If you still want to read, you can continue reading.
