Chapter 174 Attack at any cost
After half an hour.

Saburo Hirata pursued Wuyi County with three infantry brigades.

After chasing for fourteen kilometers, the Sixth Battalion of the Huben Regiment, which had already ambushed on the road, blocked Hirata Saburo's three infantry brigades.

With 36 mortars, it was a burst of bombardment against the chasing devils!
The chasing devils were unprepared for a while, and more than 300 soldiers were directly sacrificed under a burst of bombardment.

Saburo Hirata ordered the newly formed First Infantry Squadron to attack the defense line of the Sixth Battalion of the Huben Regiment.

The newly formed First Infantry Squadron was already a tired division, and the Sixth Battalion of the Tiger Ben Regiment had been waiting for work at leisure, and easily repelled the newly formed First Infantry Squadron led by Saburo Hirata.

The Sixth Battalion of the Huben Regiment once again killed more than 120 people from the Devil's new First Infantry Squadron!

Hirata Saburo withdrew the newly formed First Infantry Squadron, and directly dispatched the newly formed Second Infantry Squadron to launch a fierce attack on the position of the Sixth Battalion of the Tiger Ben Regiment, and at the same time let the newly formed First Artillery Squadron provide artillery cover.

In the second charge, the Devil's New Second Infantry Squadron fought fiercely, the entire Devil's New Second Infantry Squadron was wiped out, and the Devil's New Second Infantry Squadron did not take a step back.

The loss of the Sixth Battalion of the Huben Regiment was not small. More than 300 people deployed on the front line sacrificed 96 people.

There are too few troops deployed in the Eighth Route Army's positions, and the Eighth Route Army's positions are not built in precipitous places.

After blocking three waves of devils' attacks in a row, the commander of the Sixth Battalion of the Huben Regiment directly ordered the troops to withdraw from the position alternately under cover.

Blocking the devil's troops in sections along the way and attracting the main force of the devils to Wuyi County was an order issued by the Huben Regiment's Supreme Command.

The devil has been trimming for half an hour!Launched the fourth charge.

It's just that the devil's fourth charge did not encounter any counterattack from the Eighth Route Army.

The Devil's New Third Infantry Squadron and the New Fourth Infantry Squadron together took down the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Taking down the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army with ease, Saburo Hirata became arrogant.

Hirata Saburo believes that the Eighth Route Army does not have a solid defensive offensive, and if it fights with the soldiers of the Empire of Japan, it will be easily defeated by the soldiers of the Empire of Japan.

He led the troops to continue to frantically pursue the [-]th Battalion of the Huben Regiment that was retreating.

Easily defeated the Eighth Route Army's defense and won a big victory. The devils on the front line instantly chased the Eighth Route Army like chicken blood.

The 280-member Seventh Infantry Squadron newly formed by the Devils had the fastest pursuit speed. The Seventh Infantry Squadron caught up with the retreating Huben Sixth Battalion under the condition of light clothing and simple travel.

The Sixth Battalion of Huben, which retreated in an orderly manner, was not going to continue to ambush the Japanese army, but the Seventh Infantry Squadron led by Saburo Hirata was too rampant.

The Sixth Battalion of the Huben Regiment chose Gaoshanling, a place suitable for ambushes, and built an ambush fortification on the spot in Gaoshanling.

The Seventh Infantry Squadron of the Devils chased Gao Shanling, did not send any sharp soldiers to investigate, and directly plunged into Gao Shanling.

Faced with such a situation, the Sixth Battalion of the Huben Regiment was naturally not used to the Devil's Seventh Infantry Squadron.

The Seventh Infantry Squadron of the Devils entered the ambush circle, and all the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion opened fire with all their strength. Without paying attention to the consumption of ammunition, the arrogant Seventh Infantry Squadron of the Devils was completely annihilated by the Sixth Battalion of the Huben Regiment.

The ambush is over!

The Sixth Battalion of the Humen Regiment continued to retreat.

Hirata Saburo knew about the pursuit on the front line, and at the same time, he also knew that the newly formed Seventh Infantry Squadron advanced lightly and was annihilated by an ambush by the Eighth Route Army.

He immediately ordered the frontline troops to pursue them in an orderly manner. The various troops must form an effective mutual response.

Hirata Saburo's order was issued, and the pursuit speed of the devil's front troops naturally slowed down.

The Sixth Battalion of the Huben Regiment easily broke away from the devil's contact, and all the troops arrived at Yunwu Mountain.

Yunwu Mountain is the only way to go to Wuyi County!
The remaining troops of the Sixth Battalion of the Huben Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the troops of the Seventh Battalion of the Huben Regiment were all deployed in Yunwu Mountain.

This is the last frontier of defense in Wuyi County. As long as the devil army breaks through the defense line of Yunwu Mountain, they can drive straight into Wuyi County, which is heavily defended by the Eighth Route Army.

Yunwu Mountain Frontier Command.

The commanders of the sixth battalion and the seventh battalion of the Humen Regiment gathered together.

Wang Jianjun, commander of the Seventh Battalion, asked, "Old Fang! How is the combat effectiveness of the devil's chasing troops? At the same time, how is their firepower configuration?"

"Old Wang, don't worry, the fighting power of the devil's front-line pursuit troops is mediocre. Their pursuit speed is too fast, and the logistics supplies can't keep up. The devil's front-line pursuit troops have very few light and heavy machine guns, let alone the artillery troops. gone."

The battalion commander of the Sixth Battalion said in dialect: "We have already built solid fortifications in Yunwu Mountain. At the same time, we also have mortar defense positions and heavy artillery defense positions. Naturally, it is easy to defeat the devils' forward pursuit troops."

Wang Jianjun, the battalion commander of the Seventh Battalion, said: "Since this is the case, then our sixth and seventh battalions should perform well in this battle, and strive to completely wipe out the devils' forward pursuit troops.

The 5000st to 3000th Battalions of our Huben Regiment fought very tenaciously in the positions on the south bank of the Muma River. The 16 troops directly lost about 000, and wiped out a full [-] Japanese troops.

All the commanders and fighters of our Sixth Battalion and Seventh Battalion add up to 2000, and occupy the desired terrain here in Yunwu Mountain. How can we say that we must also annihilate seven or eight thousand Japanese troops, so that our Sixth Battalion and Seventh Battalion can fight in the Huben regiment? After the summary looked up. "

"Old Wang, you must not think about making trouble. Our mission is only to consume the vital strength of the Japanese army, not to completely block the Japanese army in Yunwu Mountain."

The battalion commander of the Sixth Battalion said seriously in dialect: "The real decisive battle between us and the Japanese army is in Wuyi County. Most of the heavy artillery of our Eighth Route Army has been brought back to Wuyi County. The 385th Brigade, the New Eighth Brigade, and the New Ninth Brigade , The troops of the New Tenth Brigade have been assembled.

If you destroy the commander's encirclement and annihilation plan, do you think the commander will take your skin off? "

"Old Fang, you don't have to be so serious, am I kidding? You think I really dare to sabotage the plan of the leader."

Wang Jianjun, the battalion commander of the Seventh Battalion, stated: "We simply stopped the Japanese army and wiped out some of the Japanese army's vital forces, and our troops began to retreat in an orderly manner.

I am very clear about the role of the line of defense that our regiment commander set up in Yunwu Mountain. The first is to consume part of the Japanese army's vitality, and the second is to block the Japanese army so that they cannot catch up with the heavy artillery we moved. At the same time, they cannot catch up Our brothers from the first to fifth battalions. "

"It's good to know!"

Fang Yan, the commander of the Sixth Battalion, said with a smile: "Old Wang, the first line of defense in Yunwu Mountain is held by the Seventh Battalion.

The army of my Sixth Battalion has just fought a big battle with the Japanese army. Now the morale of our Sixth Battalion is high. Can you hand over the first front line of defense of the Seventh Battalion to our Sixth Battalion for defense? "

Wang Jianjun, the commander of the Seventh Battalion, said: "Old Fang, there are only a few chances to fight the Japanese army. Your troops from the Sixth Battalion have already fought the Japanese army, and killed many Japanese soldiers at the same time.

You can't take all the good things like fighting the Japanese army by your sixth battalion. Shouldn't our seventh battalion also have a chance to fight the Japanese army?

The first line of defense of Yunwu Mountain is in the hands of our Seventh Battalion. Our Seventh Battalion must defend the first line of defense of Yunwu Mountain well. You don't need the troops of the Sixth Battalion to worry about this matter.

You guys in the sixth battalion should make a good repair. When our seventh battalion releases water and lets the devil army cross the first line of defense, your sixth battalion will be able to fight the devils on the second line of defense. "

2 Month 12 Day!
Nine in the morning.

The troops led by Saburo Hirata came to the plain in front of Yunwu Mountain.

The vanguard of the Japanese army had already discovered that the Eighth Route Army had stationed heavy troops in Yunwu Mountain, so Hirata Saburo did not rush to attack Yunwu Mountain, which was heavily defended by the Eighth Route Army.

Instead, fortifications were built on the plain in front of Yunwu Mountain.

It can be said that Saburo Hirata is very cautious in advancing now.

He was very worried that the Eighth Route Army would suddenly appear from an unknown place and directly ambush their former army.

When he set off, he also took ten infantry squadrons, one artillery squadron and one logistics squadron, totaling more than 3800 people.

After the blocking battle of the Sixth Battalion of the Huben Regiment, only 3800 of the more than 2900 imperial soldiers led by Saburo Hirata remained.

I lost more than 900 people myself, but the Eighth Route Army was killed very little.

If the loss continues like this, the former army led by him may be completely wiped out.

As the former army to attack Wuyi County, Hirata Saburo must open the passage from Muma River to Wuyi County.

Even if Saburo Hirata didn't want to attack the Yunwu Mountain position defended by the Eighth Route Army, it was impossible.

He had to get through the Yunwu Mountain position. Only when the Yunwu Mountain position was completely opened up could their troops reach Wuyi County.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Saburo Hirata ordered the newly formed Eighth Infantry Squadron, the newly formed Ninth Infantry Squadron to attack the first line of defense in Yunwu Mountain, and the newly formed First Artillery Squadron to assist the two infantry squadrons in the attack.

The Japanese attack was very fierce!

The defense of the Seventh Battalion of the Huben Regiment was also very tenacious and intense.

A total of 600 Eighth Route Army soldiers from the Seventh Battalion, one company, two companies and three companies arrived at the front line, and fought against the Ninth Infantry Squadron and the Ninth Infantry Squadron of the Japanese Army.

The Seventh Battalion, the Fourth Company, the Fifth Company and the Sixth Company were used as a reserve team and had been hiding in the air-raid shelter.

Only when the seventh battalion, the first company, the second company and the third company suffered too many casualties, the reserve troops would go up.

Due to the lack of firepower of the devils, the [-]th Infantry Squadron of the Eighth Infantry Squadron newly formed by the Devils was quickly repulsed by the Eighth Route Army.

Just in the first wave of attack, the Japanese army left more than 200 corpses in the offensive position.

The sacrifices of the Seventh Battalion, the first company, the second company and the third company were not very great. After all, they were the defensive side with solid fortifications, and their equipment also crushed the Japanese army.

Under such circumstances, if there are too many casualties, it means that there is a problem with their command.

Saburo Hirata combined the three captains under his command and began to discuss at the headquarters how to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line in Yunwu Mountain.

Saburo Hirata said seriously: "Everyone, the Eighth Route Army's defense line in Yunwu Mountain is beyond our imagination. There is no shortage of mortar cartridges for various light and heavy machine guns. Our attack has been suppressed by the enemy's light and heavy machine guns, and we have also been hit by it." The enemy's mortar shells hit wildly.

Continuing to attack the defense line of Yunwu Mountain regardless of the cost, I think that even if all the troops of our former army are suppressed, it may not be possible to capture the Eighth Route Army's defense line in Yunwu Mountain in the end.

Do you have any good solution?It can allow us to successfully take down the Eighth Route Army's defense line in Yunwu Mountain with as little sacrifice as possible. "

The captain of the newly formed First Infantry Brigade took the lead in speaking: "Colonel Captain! I think we should stop the frontline attack at this time and wait for our Chinese army to come to support us with two artillery brigades.

Although the terrain of Yunwu Mountain is relatively dangerous, as long as we have two artillery brigades to shell out in turn, we can definitely blow up the position of the Eighth Route Army in Yunwu Mountain into scorched earth.

By that time, we are dispatching troops to launch a charge, and the Eighth Route Army in the Yunwu Mountain position will definitely not be able to stop us. "

"I don't think this idea is right!" said the captain of the new Second Infantry Battalion, "What we are facing is not an ordinary Eighth Route Army, nor is it the three-gun Eight Route Army that lacked clothing and ammunition like before.

Now we are facing the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army with heavy howitzers and anti-aircraft weapons. You can guarantee that the Eighth Route Army did not deploy heavy artillery on Yunwu Mountain.

If our two artillery brigades arrived and just launched an artillery attack on the Eighth Route Army position on Yunwu Mountain, our artillery position was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army heavy artillery on Yunwu Mountain. What method will we use to break through the Eighth Route Army position?
I think we still can't rely on the artillery brigade, we have to rely on the infantry to charge, as long as our infantry rushes to the position of the Eighth Route Army in Yunwu Mountain, the Eighth Route Army will naturally be defeated by us at that time, and at that time they have only one way to escape up. "

The captain of the new Third Infantry Battalion expressed his opinion: "I agree with using infantry to charge.

After repeated battles between us and the Eighth Route Army, I have discovered the weakness of the Eighth Route Army, that is, whenever our troops rush to the Eighth Route Army's position, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not dare to engage in hand-to-hand combat with our troops.

Our troops occupied the positions of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army has never counterattacked the positions we occupied, and they would choose to retreat immediately. "

Saburo Hirata said: "After careful consideration, I think we should indeed attack the Eighth Route Army's positions head-on, and we cannot expect the artillery brigade to come to support us.

Now the firepower of the Eighth Route Army has become very strong, but their fighting will has weakened a lot. As long as our tribe can persist, it will definitely be able to hit Wuyi County smoothly, and then completely drive the Eighth Route Army from Wuyi County.

The newly formed First Infantry Squadron and the newly formed Second Infantry Squadron rested for half an hour, and they charged the Eighth Route Army positions.After they were beaten down, the new Third Infantry Squadron and the New Fourth Infantry Squadron were dispatched to charge the Eighth Route Army's positions. We must spare no effort to attack the Eighth Route Army's positions. "
