When Okada Shi, the commander of the 8th Brigade, arrived at the forward position, he happened to see Nishi Ojo, the captain of the 40th Infantry Regiment, yelling curses there.
Okada Zi asked: "Nishidajo-san, what's going on?"
"Hai." Xida Tiao Pang paused and reported, "The Chinese are so cunning. They set up an ambush opposite Houtou Ridge. The Fourth Squadron of the First Infantry Battalion was unprepared and fell into the ambush. , from the squadron leader, Captain Xiong Tian, down, 254 warriors were collectively shattered, and not one of them survived!"
"Nani?" Okada Zi's face changed when he heard this.
At that moment, Okada raised his binoculars and looked at the Heritou Ridge. He vaguely saw Chinese soldiers moving on the ridge, but the Fourth Infantry Squadron that had chased the Heritou Ridge before was nowhere to be seen. You can guess with your toes that the more than 250 warriors in this squadron must have been shattered.
"Baga." Okada said, "The Dameishan Independent Regiment is so difficult to deal with?!"
"Hai." Xida Tiao Pang paused heavily and said, "This Dameishan Independent Regiment is indeed more difficult to deal with than any Chinese army we have encountered before. In the battle of Taierzhuang, the Northwest Army we encountered Although they are brave, they are not as cunning and cunning as the Dameishan Independent Regiment!"
Okada's 8th Brigade did not actually participate in the Battle of Taierzhuang. The one that was severely damaged by the Northwest Army in Taierzhuang was actually the Setani Detachment, which was formed from the 33rd Brigade of Setani Kei. However, After all, the 8th Brigade and the 33rd Brigade both belong to the 10th Division, so they know something about Taierzhuang.
In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Segu detachment suffered heavy losses entirely because it underestimated the enemy's advance and fell into a tight siege by hundreds of thousands of national troops. It ran out of ammunition and reinforcements and suffered heavy losses.
However, since their 10th Division came to Wanzhong, the situation has been completely different in the several battles with the Dameishan Independent Regiment. The several defeats of their 10th Division were almost always due to their absolute superiority in military strength and firepower. What happened under circumstances was simply unimaginable before.
Especially the annihilation of the 10th Infantry Regiment was simply too scary to look at.
Even though Xida Tiao Pang extremely despises the Chinese in his heart, he must admit at this moment how powerful the Dameishan Independent Group is!
Okada put down the telescope and said: "However, no matter how strong or cunning the opponent is, we must take Houtou Ridge before dark. Due to the sudden attack on Meizhen by Abe's team and Kato's team, the Langya troops are still Although the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment has been temporarily transferred, Xu Rui will react soon. The main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment may return to support at any time. By then, we will want to capture the Hericium Head again. It will be difficult to take Houtou Ridge before dark, then this laborious expedition will most likely return in vain! This will not only be a heavy setback for the reputation of our 10th Division, but also for the entire Japanese Army. The reputation will also be a heavy blow! Nishi Ojo-san is not afraid of scaremongering, the reputation of the 10th Division and even the entire empire is already tied to your shoulders."
"Hai, I will do my best to win the position in this humble position." Nishi Ojo paused heavily and then said, "But brigade commander, can you ask Ogawara-san's special operations brigade to give tactical guidance? The Battle of Heifengkou has been sufficient. It proves that Okahara-san’s special operations brigade can not only carry out special operations, but is also a great help in conventional battles.”
Okada Zi said: "Don't worry, the first team of the Xiaoluyuan Special Forces Battalion has already detoured from the cliffs on both sides of Houtou Ridge, and may support you from the rear at any time, so you just have to attack boldly. In addition, , the division commander also transferred the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 10th Field Artillery Regiment to fully support the attack of your 40th Infantry Regiment."
After hearing this, Fatty Xi was immediately in high spirits. He nodded heavily and said, "Hai."
(Dividing line)
In a valley not far from Houtou Ridge, the Langya Squadron was spending their days like a year.
The Herhead Ridge in front has been reduced to a pot of gruel, and the Japanese special operations brigade has also detoured from the cliffs on both sides, causing great damage to the Preliminary 3rd Battalion and the Preliminary 4th Battalion that protect the positions on both sides of the Herhead Ridge. The exchange of fire lasted less than 10 seconds. In half an hour, the total attrition of the third and fourth preliminaries had exceeded 200 people.
If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese special operations brigade had limited strength and could only snipe at long distances, but not assault, the Preliminary Third and Preliminary Fourth Battalions would have collapsed long ago. But even so, the Preliminary Third and Preliminary Fourth Battalions I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for too long. After all, these two battalions have only been established recently, and most of them are new recruits.
Even though they were separated by a mountain, the members of the Wolf Fang Squadron could smell the smell of blood.
Sai Hongfu didn't know whether it was because of the continuous rapid march that her fetus was inflated, or whether the smell of blood wafting in the wind made her nauseous. She had been vomiting on the ground for a long time, vomiting out all the dry food she had just eaten. Xiao Taohong gave her a Sai Hongfu stroked his chest and beat his back, while handing the kettle to Sai Hongfu.
"Sister, please rinse your mouth." Xiao Taohong said, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes.
Seeing Sai Hongfu in such pain, Xiao Taohong felt ten times, a hundred times more uncomfortable than herself.
Granny Yinhua stood by and said quietly: "Red girl, it's not my mother-in-law who told you that you can't march and fight in this body. You should just stay in bed and rest. And your man is really nothing. I know you You have such a strong reaction during pregnancy and I actually force you to come out. I simply don’t treat you as a human being."
Sai Hongfu shook his head slightly and said, "Mother-in-law, I came here myself, I don't blame him."
Xiao Taohong couldn't help but defend Xu Rui and said, "Yes, mother-in-law, I couldn't bear to let the young lady come out. It was the young lady who felt that she couldn't do something special, so she insisted on participating in the action."
Grandma Yinhua snorted and shut her mouth and stopped talking.
Leng Tiefeng came over from the opposite side and asked with concern on his face: "Master of Sai University, can you do it?"
"It's okay, I'm okay." Before Sai Hongfu could finish his words, he immediately felt a wave of violent nausea. He fell to the ground and started retching again. However, his stomach had already been emptied, so he only vomited after retching for a long time. When a puddle of clear water came out, Xiao Taohong patted Sai Hongfu on the shoulder, feeling so distressed that she shed tears.
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "Xiao Taohong, Granny Yinhua, you guys will lead Saida..."
However, before Leng Tiefeng finished speaking, the indicator light of the radio station next to Sai Hongfu suddenly turned on.
Xiao Taohong hurriedly sat in front of the radio station, put on her earplugs, and picked up her notebook to start recording. Within a moment, a whole page of dots and dashes had been written down in the notebook, and she then took out her code book and translated the dots and dashes into After reading a line of text, Leng Tiefeng over there was already impatient with waiting, so he reached out and snatched it away.
I don't know when, but several Zuanshan Leopards also surrounded me.
After Leng Tiefeng read it, he handed the telegram copy to Zhuan Shanbao.
The Mountain Leopard took one look, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Haha, Battalion Commander He has blocked the hole where the Buddha jumped off the cliff, and the Little Devil's 10th Division has become a turtle in the urn!"
"Really?" Da Bing Fenran said, "So, we can take action?"
"Damn it," the boa constrictor said solemnly, "I can't wait for my Gatling gun!"
Hearing the discussion between the soldiers and the boa constrictor, the Wolf Fang team members who were resting not far away also stood up.
However, at this moment, Xiao Taohong suddenly shouted: "Wait, wait, there is a telegram!"
The eyes of Ding Bing, Big Boa Constrictor, Leng Tiefeng and others all fell on Xiao Taohong. Xiao Taohong picked up the pencil and notebook again. While listening, she wrote down a series of dots and dashes into the notebook. After memorizing it, he translated a series of dots and dashes into a line of text, and finally handed the telegram to Leng Tiefeng.
After Leng Tiefeng read the telegram, he immediately froze there and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
The soldier and the boa constrictor came over to take a look, and were immediately stunned. The mountain leopard was blocked by two big men behind him, and could not see the contents of the telegram. They immediately became a little anxious and grabbed the two big men in front of them. Pushed it away, and then took the telegram from Leng Tiefeng's hand. I saw it read: Langya Squadron is not allowed to attack, Xu Rui!
"No attack?!" Zhuanshan Leopard screamed, "Why?!"
"Yes, why is this?" The soldier also said with confusion on his face, "The opening for the Buddha to jump off the cliff has been blocked. The 10th Division of the Little Devil has become a turtle in the urn, why are they not allowed to attack?!"
"The key is that the Preliminary 3rd and 4th Camps are having a hard time!" said the boa constrictor, stamping its feet.
"What are you arguing about?" Leng Tiefeng said with a livid face, "Old Xu has his own reasons for refusing to attack. Is it possible that you still dare to disobey Old Xu's military orders?"
The Zuanshan Leopards immediately became mute.
At this time, Wang Husheng also turned back from the forward position, and asked Leng Tiefeng from afar: "Veteran, have you received any new instructions from Lao Xu? When can you Langya attack?"
Leng Tiefeng did not answer, but just motioned to Zhuan Shanbao to pass the telegram to Wang Husheng.
Wang Husheng was stunned after reading the telegram: "Spike Squadron is not allowed to attack? Why?"
Leng Tiefeng spread his hands to Wang Husheng, meaning, if you ask me, who should I ask
After a moment of confusion, Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu definitely doesn't know the situation on our side. Xiao Taohong, you should immediately send a telegram to Lao Xu and report the situation on our side to him. You must make it clear to him, Xiao Taohong. The threat to us from the Luyuan Special Forces Brigade is very great. Without the restraint of Langya, our casualties will be very high..."
However, before Wang Husheng could finish speaking, Xiao Taohong took off her earplugs and said, "Political Commissar, the signal from the First Battalion has been cut off and radio silence has entered. However, before entering radio silence, the regiment commander left an instruction saying that it was necessary. , he will take the initiative to contact us and let us keep the radio open."
"What?" Wang Husheng was completely stunned when he heard this. (To be continued.)
