Chapter 192, want your head
Zhu Jingtang, the leader of the 38th Regiment, also participated in the Juma riot and traveled 25,000 miles.
He had been to middle school and had a little myopia and wore black-framed glasses. He was also a highly educated among the Eighth Route Army, which had a low general education level.
However, education does not represent ability.
Although he has a high education, his level of fighting is relatively average. There is no problem with conventional command and tactics, but if he encounters a hard-to-fight hard bone, he will lack some ideas.
This time, their regiment got the main attack mission, but the terrain in the attack direction was very unfavorable to the attacking side.
There is only one small path in the direction of the attack, from the front of the Japanese defense to the offensive starting position, although it is only 30 to 40 meters,
But the road was dug out on a steep hillside, only a few dozen centimeters wide, and can only accommodate one person.
As long as there is a machine gun on the other end of the road, you can pass the pass and no one can drive it.
Until the moment before the attack, his brows were still locked.
At ten o'clock in the night, the Second Battalion first advanced to the top of the mountain.
Several other battalions also entered the predetermined position. When the Second Battalion took the machine gun position on the top of the wall, they began to act.
The commando of the Second Battalion did a great job.
The commando approached in the dark without making any noise.
The two enemy sentries yawned and patrolled back and forth listlessly.
Although the captain personally told that anyone who slept while standing guard would stay here forever like the rocks on the top of the wall, these two sentries were really too sleepy.
As they walked, their eyes closed unconsciously, and they really wanted to slap themselves in both mouths.
They also knew that today is no longer as before, now the Eighth Route Army is surrounded by iron barrels at the foot of the mountain.
Maybe they will be touched at any time. Before the captain can shoot them, they will probably be defeated by the Eighth Route Army.
Just when they were confused and unable to tell whether they were asleep or awake, two black shadows rushed over, and a bayonet flashed, and the two sentries fell silently.
The commando approached quickly.
Although the Japanese army on the top of the wall reacted, it was too late.
Dozens of grenades were thrown away from different directions at the same time. Before the Japanese machine gun could be called, the commandos had already rushed forward.
The undead Japanese troops retreated to the mountain one after another.
With the order of Zhu Jingtang, the troops lying at the foot of the mountain quickly rushed towards their respective targets.
When attacking the small village halfway up the mountain, they paid a heavy price because they lost the suddenness of the attack.
After daytime construction, the Japanese army built a complete fortification system based on caves.
Each cave can form a fire point alone, and can also cover and support each other with other caves to form a cross-fire network.
There are bulletproof piers in front of the cave. If the grenade is not thrown into place and falls into the bulletproof pier, it will be difficult to pose a threat to the Japanese army.
The Japanese army also dug through the connected caves to form a networked fortification system.
The 38th Regiment fought with the Japanese army to fight for the caves. Every time a cave was captured, it cost a considerable price.
Zhu Jingtang saw that the Japanese army had caves as support and the firepower was strong. If he continued to fight like this, he might not be able to defeat the 38th Regiment.
He believes that the attack must be stopped and new methods must be studied.
After struggling to capture less than half of the caves, the 38th Regiment stopped attacking.
"Send a report to the brigade leader."
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army stopped the attack, Captain Yamazaki put down his telescope with pride.
Although the Eighth Route Army launched a sneak attack, he didn't care at all.
The positions at the foot of the mountain and the caves on the hillside are positions that can be given up at any time.
The circular fortifications he built ingeniously have not yet worked!
Only when the Eighth Route Army really attacks and spreads on the positions layer by layer will you realize his greatness.
"Although our army was besieged by the enemy's superior forces, we trusted our soldiers to use their lives and held our positions firmly in our hands.
The large army of the Eighth Route Army was attracted by our brigade. This is an excellent opportunity to eliminate the Eighth Route Army. I would like to request reinforcements here..."
Captain Yamazaki stabbed the hornet's nest and attracted the Eighth Route Army.
As soon as the battle began, the entire North China region became lively.
Japanese Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki, commander of the Japanese Expeditionary Force in China, General Nishio Suzao,
Yoshio Yuzuka, commander of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi, and Shin Tada, commander of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Army, were all watching the map at the headquarters everywhere.
The combat staff of headquarters at all levels were nervously carrying out work on the map, and the Guanjiafang on the map was surrounded by huge arrows of different colors.
The mobile troops that the Japanese army had already assembled, the 36th Division stationed in Lu'an, the 16th Brigade stationed in Fenyang, the 9th Brigade stationed in Taiyuan, and the 4th Brigade stationed in Yangquan, all attacked the Guanjianao area day and night.
At the same time, the attacking and reinforcement forces of the Eighth Route Army units in the entire North China region have also been linked with the Japanese reinforcements.
The order from the Eighth Route Army headquarters was to die: to stop the enemy from reinforcements at all costs.
Therefore, around Guanjiadong, an unknown small hill, the Eighth Route Army troops in the entire North China region and various Japanese troops have already set out to fight to the decisive battle.
The eyes of the supreme commanders of both sides of the war were still staring at this past unknown small hill bag in Shanxi.
The battle between Guan Jianao is destined to be recorded in history.
The battle lasted for one night, but only two-thirds of the caves on the hillside were taken down, but the 38th Regiment suffered heavy casualties.
Zhu Jingtang really had no choice. He couldn't even handle these caves, let alone the path that led to the top of the mountain.
There are also a large number of enemy troops on the top of the mountain. The 38th Regiment is all left here and may not be able to be taken down.
The phone call was directly sent to the brigade headquarters, and Chief Zhou answered it. He didn't say much, just one meaning: guard it first, and there will be troops to replace them soon.
"This is not enough, meal..."
The brigade commander did not scold the swear words after all, but he was really angry.
The 38th Regiment could not get rid of Guan Jiadao, and the 772nd Regiment attacked Liushuye, but there was no result.
How to explain this?
The troops that attack the outside world have to fight against the enemy. The longer they use, the greater the loss will be.
The General Command was under great pressure, and the boss let down a harsh sentence: "If the enemy cannot be eliminated, remove the number of your 129th Division."
"Where is Li Yunlong's new second group? He has made several calls and is yelling to get in."
The brigade commander said angrily: "Then let him get on. If he wants to get on, he can't get Guanjiawu. I want his head."
If you want someone's head, the brigade commander will not say it easily.
