Chapter 266: Raid from behind

Chapter 266: Surprise behind

On the position of the 104th Division, Fang Zilin, the commander of the 659th Regiment, stared at the opposite Japanese with his eyes blazing. This was the third time that their regiment had launched a breakthrough attack on the Japanese. However, more than half of the casualties were unable to tear open any part of the Japanese. He had just received a call from the division commander Song Siyi, ordering his troops to work with the 658th Regiment that had just come from the mountain to tear open a hole before dark and rush out.

Jiang Chenggui, the leader of the 658th Regiment, walked up to Fang Zilin's command center, greeted others, and said to Fang Zilin: "How about Lao Fang? How are we fighting below? Brother, I will listen to you!"

Fang Zilin looked at Jiang Chenggui with anger. Although he knew in his heart that because he had lost nearly half of his troops, Jiang Chenggui was giving him a step. However, he still felt that Jiang Chenggui was deliberately mocking him, so he said angrily: "I don't dare to command Commander Jiang. Now I have only one of his mother-in-law troops. Maybe after I go back, I will be beaten into the battalion commander!"

Jiang Chenggui smiled when he heard this, knowing that this guy had a misunderstanding. However, he couldn't fight against Fang Zilin, so he didn't say anything. He walked to the front and picked up his glasses and looked at the Japanese's position.

After a while, Jiang Chenggui put down his glasses and said, "The Japanese have a very strict defense! I think even if we both regiments pressed on them, it is impossible to tear the gap in a short time! Is the Japanese's 40th Division opposite?"

Fang Zilin frowned and nodded and said, "It's the Forty Division. Judging from the equipment brought back by the Japanese by the brothers, our opponent should be the 236th Regiment of the Forty Division."

"Lao Fang, from the terrain, this is indeed a part that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I don't know why the division chose to break through here. On this narrow road, the two armies are not suitable for breaking through at all. In addition, I just looked at it and if we were all on the front, it would be a tactic. As long as the Japanese detachment does not withdraw, it will be in vain to go up. I mean, next, our 658th Regiment attacks head-on. Can you take the brothers of the 659th Regiment, and you can detour from the high ground on the left or right side and attack the Japanese side? As long as the Japanese withdraw from this corridor, our entire division can press up, and there will be hope for breaking through!" Jiang Chenggui said seriously.

Fang Zilin frowned and nodded and said, "I think so too. I don't understand what Song Siyi is doing! This is a breakthrough, don't take your brother's life seriously!"

"Shh!" Jiang Chenggui put his index finger beside his mouth and continued, "Why can't your brother change his temper? He dares to say anything, which made the brothers below hear it, but they don't know what to think? OK! Don't think about it anymore. Master must have his own reason for doing this."

"Bad truth!" As soon as he said, Fang Zilin immediately realized that his voice was a little high, so he immediately stopped and whispered again: "Even if he makes sense, he can't fill in the lives of his brothers!"

"Okay, Lao Fang! Let's prepare for each of us. In ten minutes, our team will launch the first attack!" Jiang Chenggui suddenly said seriously to Fang Zilin.

Fang Zilin nodded, picked up a rifle behind him and said, "Okay! I will organize my troops now and detour to the left high ground. You can launch an attack at up to about fifteen minutes, so that our regiment can enter the combat position in time!"

After everything was agreed, the 659th Regiment and the 658th Regiment were both prepared to attack the 236th Regiment under the leadership of their own regiment commander.

On the front battlefield, Jiang Chenggui placed the 658th Regiment with one battalion as the main attacking force, and placed the left and right rear of this battalion by two battalions, and the entire formation was promoted with a three-three-supported formation.

When the battle began, the 658th Regiment used their only mortars first, and then all the troops advanced forward and attacked the Japanese's 236th Regiment.

The mortars of the 658th Regiment were just spoken and were counterattacked by the mountain cannons of the 236th Regiment of the Japanese. In an asymmetric artillery battle, the mortars of the 658th Regiment provided the infantry battalion with the best shooting range at the cost of the entire army. Next, they could only be captured by the rifles, machine guns, and grenades in their hands.

"Boom!"

The Japanese artillery shells were still venting, and the target of the attack had become the infantry attacked by the 658th Regiment. Under the Japanese artillery fire and the Japanese's pouring gun bullets, the soldiers of the 658th Regiment shouted, stood up and charged forward and continued to charge at the Japanese positions.

Under the powerful firepower of the Japanese, the attack of the 658th Regiment was not very smooth, but no warrior retreated. The regiment commander Jiang Chenggui even went to the front line to command the battle. The attack of a battalion in front has now lost at least two companies of troops and has basically lost the ability to fight. However, Jiang Chenggui did not give an order to retreat, but ordered a battalion to support him on the right back to fill in.

In the original command center of the 659th Regiment, it has now become the command center of the 104th Division. The division commander Song Siyi personally went to the front line and held his glasses to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield. He did not see the 659th Regiment appear on the battlefield, but he also thought that Fang Zilin and Jiang Chenggui should have made tactical adjustments.

Not long after, what happened on the battlefield confirmed Song Siyi's conjecture. The 659th Regiment suddenly appeared on the high ground on the left and attacked the Japanese defense line from the flank.

However, just when Song Siyi thought that it seemed that it was possible to tear a hole this time, the 234th Regiment of the 40th Division of the Japanese Division suddenly appeared behind the 659th Regiment of the 40th Division. The 659th Regiment, which was supposed to be a roundabout attack on the 236th Regiment, became a situation of being surrounded by the 234th Regiment and the 236th Regiment.

At the critical moment, Song Siyi immediately sent his 102nd Regiment and ordered them to work with the 659th Regiment to tear a hole in the 236th Regiment. Everything on the battlefield was not that simple. As soon as the 102nd Regiment rushed up, another 235th Regiment of the Japanese also appeared on the battlefield.

At this moment, the entire battlefield was fighting together, you have me, and we have you. Song Siyi now has no more troops in his hands, only the last reserve team was left with the 107th Regiment and the guards and staff of the division headquarters. However, at this time, Song Siyi was not prepared to have any reservations and suppressed all the troops.

Song Siyi's 104th Division did not have an advantage in military strength when he faced the 40th Division of the Japanese. Moreover, his division had been fighting for many days and suffered serious loss of personnel. Each regiment was not a full regiment.

Commander Luo Qi of the 95th Division of the 37th Army, not far from Song Siyi, also suppressed all his troops. The Japanese Araki Detachment was fighting together, but they were relatively better. The Araki Detachment did not have too many troops. However, the Araki Detachment had a geographical advantage, so the 95th Division could not open up the situation for the same time.

Just when Song Siyi had already raised the submachine gun and was about to rush forward with his guards, the major general who had previously talked to him suddenly returned and reported to Song Siyi: "Teacher! News came from the front-line observation post that our friendly troops suddenly appeared behind the 236th Regiment of the Japanese, and a surprise attack on the command center and artillery positions of the 236th Regiment. The casualties of the Japanese, but the artillery positions were taken away!"

Song Siyi was very surprised and said, "Have the reinforcements arrived? That unit? I said that the explosion came from the Japanese just now, and the Japanese did not fire artillery!"

"I don't know, there is no flag, and I don't know what size of the troops it is."

Song Siyi pondered for a moment and said, "No, since there are reinforcements, I will order my brothers to speed up and fight out. We must open the gap before the Japanese plane arrives and reunite with the reinforcements outside!" After that, he rushed up with the soldiers of the guard platoon with his gun.

The reinforcements seen by the observation post of the 104th Division were the Iron Blood Brigade led by Peng Dezhu. After they arrived at the 236th Regiment, they first figured out the Japanese troops' deployment. When they learned that the Japanese's mountain artillery position was built on their right front, Peng Dezhu decided to divide the troops.

He ordered Li Tieshu and Xiao Houhai to lead the Second Regiment's secret service regiment to take the Japanese artillery positions. He himself and Liu Wenxue led the remaining regiment and all the direct troops to launch an attack from behind the 236th Regiment to support the 104th Division in the encirclement.

Peng Dezhu did not think about attacking the command center of the 236th Regiment, but because Xiao Chai Junnan was set up behind the attacking troops, he was the first to be attacked by the Iron Blood Brigade. Unfortunately, Peng Dezhu's troops were unable to destroy the command center of the 236th Regiment. At the critical moment, the Japanese saved the command of the 236th Regiment and the Japanese.

Although there was no command center that could destroy the Japanese, an enemy suddenly appeared behind him, which was not optimistic for the Japanese. When they discovered the enemy behind him, Xiao Cha Toshino did not dare to be careless and reported the sudden situation to the division commander Chengichi Aoki. Chengichi Aoki immediately mobilized the 235th Regiment and moved closer to the 236th Regiment to block the Iron Blood Brigade that appeared behind the 236th Regiment.

After successfully destroying the Japanese artillery positions, Li Tieshu and Xiao Houhai immediately led the secret service regiment to Peng Dezhu's troops as ordered. However, just as they were approaching Peng Dezhu's troops, they were immediately attacked by a brigade of the 235th Regiment of the Japanese.

The battle situation has entered a melee situation again.
