Chapter 380: A Restless Night

The Sichuan Army opened fire right here!

The Anti-Aircraft Battalion's M2 Heavy Machine Guns, as well as the Type 26 General Purpose Machine Guns, were like a violent tornado.

The dense firepower directly blew three Japanese Army planes out of the sky!

"Baka!"

Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo saw two Imperial Army planes in the sky being taken down by the Sichuan Army's anti-aircraft fire.

Both of them were so angry their faces turned livid, and they cursed furiously!

At the same time!

"Charge... kill..."

Because!

"Since the Japanese Army is adjusting its deployment, then we shall adjust accordingly as well."

Yang Lin was no longer surprised!

He directly ordered the bugler to sound the Charge Bugle again, rushed out of the fortifications, and continued to engage the Japanese Army in hand-to-hand combat.

Furthermore, the Japanese Army's fighter planes were more agile than the bombers.

Sulfur Bombs and Heavy Bombs were all directed at the Sichuan Army's Anti-Aircraft Battalion.

Meanwhile, seeing the Anti-Aircraft Battalion being bombed, Brigade Commander Zhang was not idle either.

He asked Chen Qian: "Deputy Division Commander Chen!"

When the Sichuan Army charged, they adopted the Three-Three System formation from the Militia Military Training Manual.

Bombs fell from the sky, and the Machine Cannons swept across the Sichuan Army's anti-aircraft positions.

Some brothers were buried alive directly inside the bunkers!

Two regiments of the Japanese Army!

Having received reinforcements, they originally wanted to hold their positions.

They easily broke through the Sichuan Army's defensive line and moved toward the breaking-out Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo.

"First, the blocking force shall let the little devils' relief troops pass."

The current Sichuan Army was like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain.

He truly did not dare to move against the Japanese Army's Segaya Detachment!

After all!

Nighttime was originally the Sichuan Army's specialty for a Night Raid.

Everyone fought to the death without retreating, continuously sweeping at the Japanese Army planes.

Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo roared.

This battle, it can be fought!

After Liu Zhangqing led the Independent Brigade to retreat, a battalion of the Chongteng Detachment.

"The Japanese Army's Shanhia Regiment and Banyuan Saburo's regiment now have over four thousand men remaining."

The Machine Cannons on the Japanese Army planes opened fire on the Sichuan Army.

At this moment!

In the sky, the devil planes arrived as reinforcements.

Every time the Sichuan Army units harassed them, they caused some casualties to the main army.

After the bayonet fighting ended!

"Hiss..." Yang Lin gasped.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army was truly not something the Republic of China Army could compare to.

The Sichuan Army's Anti-Aircraft Battalion on the Dagu Mountain position.

"The troop strength is over fourteen thousand men; with so many people, what are the current casualties?"

"Requesting instructions from Adjutant Yu!"

Therefore!

Now, when the Sichuan Army units charged toward the Japanese Army, their formation was not chaotic, and everyone provided covering fire for one another.

"Let them rendezvous with the Japanese Army at Dagu Mountain."

To cause losses to the Sichuan Army, and on the other hand, it was highly likely that the Sichuan Army was planning an attack on the Imperial Army.

"Tonight, I see they won't dare to stay overnight."

"Damned Sichuan Army!"

Conversely, the Sichuan Army had constructed Tunnel Fortifications throughout the entire Dagu Mountain, with roads extending in all directions; after Sichuan Army soldiers were wounded, they immediately received treatment inside the tunnels.

Yang Lin, who was on the side!

After a dive in the sky, it swooped toward the Sichuan Army's M2 Heavy Machine Gun position.

At the same time!

Yu Hua's main goal tonight was to wipe out a regiment that had broken out of Dagu Mountain.

Military orders are like mountains!

"Lead the troops, follow behind the Japanese Army's rear, and stab the little devils in the ass at any time."

Died under the bombing of the Japanese Army's planes!

The Tunnel Fortifications dug into the hillside were also collapsed quite a bit by the devils' bombing.

This gun fired far and had great power, not inferior to the Imperial Army's Type 94 Mountain Gun.

The Sichuan Army's anti-aircraft fire, when it had not received the order to cease fire.

Now, several positions had also been wiped out by the Japanese Army planes.

"Brother Yu!"

The Segaya Detachment and the Chongteng Detachment are now continuously using large-caliber artillery to shell the ambush locations where the Sichuan Army might be hiding!

"Charge!"

That is the Sichuan Army; unlike other Republic of China Army units, their experience in hand-to-hand combat is not weak at all.

"At the same time, order Brigade Commander Zhang at Dagu Mountain, once it gets dark."

At the same time, have the Imperial Aviation cover the retreating troops!

Only the officers are authentic little devils!

The Japanese Army breaking out of Dagu Mountain is moving toward the nearest Chongteng Detachment.

However, the last hand-to-hand combat also left a deep impression on this group of devils.

Many Sichuan Army soldiers saved their lives with the help of Penicillin.

When Yu Hua provided the "Militia Military Training Manual," he emphasized it heavily to Liu Dashuai.

Brigade Commander Zhang lowered his Telescope, "It seems these little devils still have times when they are afraid."

Everyone believes!

"People just disappeared like that!"

Regarding the battle on the outskirts of Teng County, Adjutant Yu certainly would not covet a single Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army.

Segaya Qi gave the order!

Have the Communications Soldier contact Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo to lead their Infantry Regiments and return to the main force immediately.

"Everyone fix Bayonets for me!"

"This move by the little devils is clearly to support the breakout of the Japanese Army at Dagu Mountain."

Just like that!

Yu Hua began issuing orders to the various army units.

"When night falls, our main event begins!"

This formation is very good.

Moreover, Chongteng Qianqiu also constantly reminded Segaya Qi.

Relying solely on frontal engagement in positional warfare, a full-strength Type A Adjustment Division occupying the terrain advantage really cannot chew through two Infantry Regiments of the Japanese Army.

Inside Segaya Qi's Tent!

He is currently observing the current battlefield situation map; the general situation is unfavorable for the Japanese Army.

Possessing the Gaul Schneider M1919 75 mm Mountain Gun!

Therefore, when the Sichuan Army trained, their food supply could keep up, and every soldier gradually built up their health.

At night, the Segaya Detachment dared not move rashly; although the Chongteng Detachment had many people, the soldiers were all from Taiwan.

The entire hilltop has now suddenly become lively.

Extracting the Penicillin that Yu Hua had been talking about and successfully developing it.

Therefore!

Several bunkers where the Anti-Aircraft Battalion was located have now also been collapsed by the devils' aircraft using Heavy Bombs.

Sichuan Province supporting so many troops is not a problem at all.

The Sichuan Army in the Fifth War Zone has now begun using the first batch of clinical Penicillin products.

These two old devils had no choice but to follow the order.

However!

In the Sichuan Army units at Dagu Mountain, two Brigades have suffered nearly fifty percent casualties.

The replacement troops of the 2nd Group Army and the newly formed troops of the Chuan-Kang Pacification Office.

Due to the land reform in Sichuan Province, coupled with the opening of factories.

Only then did they wipe out one Infantry Regiment of the devils!

Take advantage of the fact that it is not yet dark to break out under the cover of the Imperial Aviation.

Indeed!

Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo, without artillery and aircraft support, have firepower far inferior to the Sichuan Army.

The Sichuan Army has now changed its equipment and, relying on a large number of Mortars and Type 92 Infantry Guns, is fighting the two Japanese Infantry Regiments to a draw.

This thing!

It is now playing a huge role in treating the wounded at Dagu Mountain.

For light infantry, the Japanese Army, lacking large-caliber artillery, if they remain at Dagu Mountain.

Strike at the little devils down the mountain!

All the Sichuan Army soldiers also roared along!

Brigade Commander Zhang, through the Telescope in his hand, had already seen at least twenty brothers.

After all, the current Sichuan Army units have large-caliber artillery no less than the Japanese Army.

Segaya Qi frowned!

The disappearance of the Sichuan Army units might be due, on one hand, to the bombing of the mountain by the Imperial Aviation and Heavy Artillery.

This combat ability is naturally not bad either!

"Baka yaro!!"

"Fix bayonets and draw blood; we will get tangled up with the devils so the devils' aircraft will be afraid to attack."

Since when!

The dignified Imperial Army has actually become so constrained.

Especially the factories in Sichuan Province!

"Charge out of the fortifications and kill the little devils!"

"These little devils have become somewhat ruthless now."

Therefore, the M2 Heavy Machine Gun and the Type 26 General Purpose Machine Gun cannot immediately deal with the Fighter Plane.

They actually dare not continue fighting the Sichuan Army!

Although they have suffered nearly fifty percent casualties now, their combat effectiveness is still very strong.

The troops recruited by the Sichuan Army later must be trained according to this method!!

The Sichuan Army is now fighting hand-to-hand, and the two of them can only helplessly engage in battle.

The two old devils will not stop until they wipe out the Sichuan Army's Anti-Aircraft Battalion!

Just like this!

The Japanese Army planes behind, carrying a large number of Bombs, continuously bombed the Sichuan Army's bunkers and hidden pillboxes.

Chen Qian said: "Dagu Mountain just sent us a telegram."

Seeing the armies of both sides tangled together, they were also dumbfounded.

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army will certainly not let go of this good opportunity to annihilate them completely.

Segu Qi sighed heavily: "Baka!"

After the battle!

Fourteen thousand men suffered fifty percent casualties, and that was while occupying the terrain advantage, with Landmines and Explosives in ambush.

At the same time, there were Japanese planes carrying a small amount of aerial Bombs, dropping them on the Sichuan Army's anti-aircraft firepower.

This Detachment still has a huge number of people now.

The Independent Brigade led by Liu Zhangqing cleared the road to let the reinforcement troops sent by the Chongteng Detachment pass.

"When we left Chuan last time, we already made a vow in our hometown!"

Under the cover of the Japanese Army planes, they began to fight while retreating!

"Brigade Commander!"

But!

They have already been committed to the battlefield!

Looking at the two Japanese Army regiments, after several battles, they have not yet received reinforcements.

"Now we can only clear the road and let the Japanese Army move closer to Dagu Mountain."

"For the Dagu Mountain position, we have two brigades, with Brigade Commander Zhang as the commander-in-chief."

Relying on the reputation of Yu Hua as the Living Yama, and at that time, when the Seventh War Zone's 23rd Group Army intercepted the Japanese Army Tenth Army.

Jin Jizhong hurried to Brigade Commander Zhang's command post: "The little devils seem to be running away!"

Without receiving orders for indiscriminate bombing, the devil planes had no choice but to continue dropping Bombs on the Sichuan Army's anti-aircraft units.

Especially some chemical formulas provided by Yu Hua, which allowed some factories in Sichuan Province to produce high-yield chemical fertilizers.

The promotion of these fertilizers greatly increased the grain output of Sichuan Province.

Inside the command post!

In Teng County!

Various interception units on the front line also continuously sent back news.

At the same time, Snipers and machine gunners also continuously suppressed the Japanese Army's Firepower Points.

They immediately contacted the flight formation behind and asked them to carry more Bombs.

Brigade Commander Zhang held a large machete and addressed all the officers and soldiers of the brigade.

However, Bai Zhangsheng's reinforced Regiment, as the reserve force for the Dagu Mountain position.

They were all in the rear, receiving harsh combat training.

Yu Hua is confident that he can block the charge of the Chongteng Detachment and eat up this regiment of little devils.

"Yes!"

If these two regiments stay behind at Dagu Mountain, they will become the Sichuan Army's dinner.

"Present!"

"If we don't defeat the little devils, our Sichuan Army will absolutely not return to Chuan!"

There were only a small number of Mortars and Type 92 Infantry Guns!

The battle has lasted so long today, the two regiments have suffered heavy losses, and it is about to get dark.

The Fighter Planes covering the Japanese Army's airdrop also pulled their control sticks now.

Segaya Detachment camp!

Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo saw the Sichuan Army at Dagu Mountain exposing their anti-aircraft firepower.

The vanguard troops also reported to Segu Qi that the Sichuan Army units seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.

"Brother Wang, Chen!"

There must be a major plan!

Actually!

Seeing that the Brigade Commander was leading by example, Jin Jizhong was not willing to fall behind.

The devil planes also dropped Bombs in these areas!

Ground-to-air combat is very difficult to fight!

At the same time, Yang Lin's Chuan-Kang Pacification Office New First Army retreated to the mountainous area.

"This Japanese Army is moving closer to the Chongteng Detachment under the cover of planes and artillery."

If it were any other unit, a single Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army would crush a Local Army Division and chase it away.

"Everyone, follow me and charge!"

The Sichuan Army's Machine Gunners, Mortar crew, and Type 92 Infantry Gun also provided covering fire.

"Casualties are nearly half!" Chen Qian sighed: "Most of these casualties were caused by the devils' aircraft and Heavy Artillery."

If they could not arrive in time to encircle and assist Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo.

Because, looking down from the sky, it was like two lumps of charcoal fighting!

After these few orders were issued!

The several Divisions under the Sichuan Army also happily executed them, although everyone did not know what medicine Yu Hua was selling in his gourd.

Plus, some of the wounded had no medicine for treatment, and the unit's attrition was now very severe.

The two Infantry Regiments searching the mountains did not carry a large amount of heavy weaponry.

These little devils are damn hard to fight!?

Yang Lin, who was on the battlefield for the first time, only now truly understood the words of some Old Soldiers who had fought bloody battles in Songhu, Pingjin, and Jin Province.

When Yamashita Kazuo and Banyuan Saburo received this order from Segu Qi, both of them were also stunned for a moment.

They did not expect the Sichuan Army to engage them in hand-to-hand combat again.

When the Sichuan Army engages the devils, they cannot rely solely on frontal position clashes; they must also rely on Movement Warfare, Night Raid tactics, as well as Landmines and Explosives to fight the devils.

"They switched directly to shelling with cannons; some of our Tunnel Fortification were blown down, and many brothers didn't even see the devils' faces."

"Communications Soldier!"

Furthermore, the dead of night was originally the Sichuan Army's specialty.

Wang Mingzhang was also very furious!

"Brother Wang!"

The commanding heights controlling the highway were now also voluntarily abandoned!

The 125th Division moved secretly toward the junction of the Segaya Detachment and the Chongteng Detachment.

Now, Yang Lin truly felt that what Adjutant Yu said really made sense.

Segu Qi understood Chongteng Qianqiu's idea, which was to order the two Infantry Regiments at Dagu Mountain.

"Immediately send a telegram to Adjutant Yu; the two Japanese Army regiments are retreating."

On some hilltops and commanding heights where ambushes might occur, there was no longer any sign of the Sichuan Army.

Yu Hua's series of operations also gave Yanagawa Heisuke a headache.

Especially since the 22nd Group Army also had a directly subordinate artillery Regiment.

"Brothers!"

"Whew, whew, whew!! ——"

They voluntarily withdrew from the current area!

Segu Qi ordered the main force to defend strictly, reinforce the Field Works, and implement a three-shift rotation for the troops to deal with Sichuan Army attacks at any time.

At the same time, he also emphasized to Chongteng Qianqiu that today was destined to be restless and to be careful about everything!
