Chapter 87 Looking for the Japanese Army Headquarters
Dian Hou took the initiative to attack many times with his troops, but did not achieve much effect.
The little Japanese commander was much more stable than the little Japanese commanders they had encountered before. The previous little Japanese commanders did not pay attention to the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army at all.
Many little Japanese commanders underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly for the sake of military glory.
However, this time the commander who encountered the Japs was as calm as a rock when he was harassed by Dian Hou and others. He just ordered his troops to defend on the spot and did not launch an attack.
It was as if Noianhou had made the little devil's commander lose any interest in him.
"Sir, this has happened three times, how come the little devil doesn't feel anything for us?"
"Platoon commander, have the Japs sent troops to get behind us?" said a veteran.
"I'll go! Don't scare me?"
Dian Hou felt that his buttocks were cold, as if he was not wearing any clothes.
"Platoon leader, we have killed more than 20 little Japs these three times. The Japs are just building fortifications on the spot. They are probably holding back some other damaging moves."
After the veteran said this, Dianhou immediately ordered: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly, grandma, I suddenly feel scared."
The little devil didn't want to do anything to Dianhou and the others, but Dianhou frightened himself, just like a cat suddenly frightened when it saw its own shadow.
"It seems we can't always attack the Japs like this. The company commander and the others are working very hard at the front. They sent us out to have an effect."
Dianhou was anxious. The Japs had already charged the frontal position two or three times, but they did nothing to help.
Although twenty or thirty little devils were killed, to the little devils, this loss was insignificant.
Just when Dianhou was racking his brains to think of a solution, the sound of the Japs' cannon caught his attention.
"The kid's artillery position?"
The kid's cannon had fired three times. Only then did Noianhou slap his head and notice that the kid's cannon was too unscrupulous.
"Platoon commander, the Japs' cannons are outside the mountain. The company commander has an order that our troops cannot leave the mountains. Otherwise, our small number of troops will not be enough to feed the Japs."
Dianhou's platoon was specially strengthened by Zhao Zhiguo. There were four squads of troops, but there were only fifty men. If they were exposed on the flat ground, they wouldn't be enough to kill a Japs with a machine gun.
"I just want to observe! It's a pity that we didn't lend our company commander's telescope."
The Little Devil has an artillery unit stationed one kilometer away from the mountain. Their position is just within the range of the Little Devil's artillery attack.
In other words, Zhao Zhiguo's No. 1 position and Gao Cang's No. 2 position were not within the range of the Japanese artillery.
Of course, the artillery positions deployed by Zhao Zhiguo and others at Position 1 cannot reach the artillery positions of the little Japanese.
"It seems that the little devil was already prepared."
Judging from the deployment of the Japanese artillery positions, the Japanese commander was indeed a very cautious person.
The Japanese army knew that it had lost an artillery squadron last time, and all six Type 92 infantry cannons had been captured by the Chinese army.
Once their artillery position comes within the range of the Chinese army's artillery, if the Japs fire first, it will be easier for the Chinese army to find the Japanese artillery position first.
"One kilometer is too far. I don't know if the Japs have deployed other troops around their artillery unit."
"Write down the location of the Japanese artillery unit. It might be useful when you go back!"
In fact, Dianhou didn't know what Zhao Zhiguo arranged for him to do. Now he was beating the little devils, and the little devils didn't want to pay attention to them at all.
And the Japanese artillery positions were placed on the plains, so Norihou was unable to lead his troops in a surprise attack.
"Company commander, what would you do if you were here?" Dianhou thought about what Zhao Zhiguo would usually do when he came out.
Dianhou suddenly slapped his thigh: "By the way, there is also Guo Hanting. I have to find a way to contact Guo Hanting."
However, Guo Hanting had to stay in the Little Jaap's headquarters at any time, always waiting for orders from the Little Jaap Commander, and it was difficult for Dianhou to get close to him.
"You take the troops back to the position first, tell the company commander the location of the Little Japanese artillery position, and tell the company commander that I am trying to get in touch with our intelligence personnel."
It would definitely not work to bring so many people to find Guo Hanting, so Dianhou could only arrange for the troops to return to their positions first, and he would find a way to find Guo Hanting himself.
The battle on the position was very hard, especially the Japs' cannons, which posed too great a threat to them.
But Zhao Zhiguo did not want to just withdraw to their No. 1 position. There were indeed complete fortifications there, sufficient supplies, and they could cooperate with Gao Cang and his company.
It's easy to retreat, but if they take one step back, the little devil must take one step forward.
What Zhao Zhiguo wants is that they will cause the Japs to suffer greater losses. The greater the Japs' losses, their ability to continue attacking will be weakened, and the period for the Japanese army to prepare for the next battle will increase, which is more conducive to the success of their troops.
Recuperate and recuperate.
In short, the greater the losses the little devils suffer here, the less likely they will be to attack the Hutong area again.
The soldiers in Dianhou's platoon returned to their position and reported everything Dianhou said to Zhao Zhiguo.
"It's nonsense. During the war, the commander left his team to see how I deal with him. You take your squad to support Platoon Leader Qin. The remaining soldiers stay here and find their own fighting positions."
Zhao Zhiguo knew that Dianhou was looking for the commander of the Japs, and he was worried about Dianhou's safety.
But no matter what happens, they must repel the little devil's attack.
The Japanese army had dropped countless corpses in front of their positions, and the initially fierce offensive of the Japs had slowed down.
There were also casualties on Zhao Zhiguo's side. A dozen soldiers were carried down, and there were still more than 20 slightly injured soldiers who continued to fight.
Relying on the advantage of the terrain, Zhao Zhiguo and the others took a great advantage, but the Japs still had a large number of troops to lose. If Zhao Zhiguo and the others suffered excessive losses, they would not be able to continue the defense.
Commander Zhang also received the news of the Japanese invasion. He immediately began to mobilize his troops. As long as the opportunity was right, although he could not eat all the little devils, he would still bite off a piece of meat from the little devils.
"Report to the company commander that I'm back."
Liu Qingsheng ran back to the position.
"Why are you back? Didn't I ask you to stay at the regiment headquarters?"
"Company commander, give me a gun, I will also fight the little devil."
"Hey, boy, you are not tall enough to shoot. Can you shoot? This is killing people. You are still young. Go back to our base quickly." Yao Pengju looked at the thin Liu Qingsheng and said.
"Isn't it just to kill the little devils? I'm not afraid of them. They are all beasts anyway, so just kill them."
"Good boy, you have courage, but before we are all dead, it's not your turn to kill anyone. Go back and take care of our home. There is no one in our station. This is the order I gave you." Zhao Zhiguo.
