Songhu: Never Give Up

Lieutenant Colonel Kobayashi thought about it and it made sense. The Shanyuan Regiment lacked heavy firepower. Once the defenders reinforced their fortifications at night, Xiaoniujiao Mountain would be even more difficult to attack.

He immediately bowed deeply to Colonel Shanyuan, turned around and left. Looking at Major Kobayashi's blood-red back in the setting sun, his expression became extremely serious, and the development of the war gradually got out of his control.

Xiaoniujiao Mountain is located on the flank of Da Niujiao Mountain and is composed of several large and small hills. As long as you cross Xiaoniujiao Mountain, the waist of Da Niujiao Mountain is on the opposite side of the valley.

The 3rd Battalion had set up a preset position on Xiaoniujiao Mountain in advance, but due to the short time and the large number of rocks on the mountain, they only built simple fortifications.

There were only one or two trenches. Some hilltops did not even have trenches dug. The defense line was built relying on some natural trenches.

The artillery battalion was deployed on the top of the mountain, which was also the commanding height of several nearby hills. By setting up artillery on it, they could control the entire Xiaoniujiao Mountain, which was the biggest advantage of the defenders.

The two artillery squadrons of the 50th Regiment had been destroyed, leaving only three mortars and four infantry guns. It was impossible to organize artillery preparations, so they could only use them to launch surprise attacks on the defenders' machine gun positions, while also being careful not to be covered by the defenders' artillery groups.

"Warriors, the Imperial Army never relies on artillery to fight, but on Bushido and loyalty to the Empire!

The Chinese have always been as timid as mice, just like the Wild Wolf Valley, a charge can defeat them, His Majesty the Emperor needs your bravery - kill the chickens and give them to him!"

Colonel Shanyuan's roar at the top of his lungs instantly aroused the devil's bestiality. The devil was a nation that was so crazy that even they themselves were afraid.
These are a bunch of mad dogs. Their blood boils at the mention of their dog king, just like hungry jackals on the prairie. They will pounce on them as soon as they smell the slightest fishy smell.

The best way to deal with these jackals is to beat them to death with a stick. Only dead devils are good devils!

"Fire! Blast that son of a bitch to death!"

Song Yunhan was well aware of this. Facing the Japanese's mad dog-like charge, he decisively gave the order to fire, letting the shells help calm them down.

Rows of shells fell from the sky, shrapnel flew everywhere, turning the Japanese into "dead dogs". Shit-yellow corpses were scattered all over the ground, and a large number of Japanese wounded were wriggling in pain. No one cared whether they lived or died.
The defenders' artillery fire did not scare the Japanese. The blood all over the ground further stimulated the beastliness in their bones. They rushed forward frantically until they were killed by another artillery shell.

A Japanese soldier with only half of his body left was still crawling on the hillside, and another Japanese soldier stepped on his body, crushing his internal organs on the spot;

Not only did the devil not feel guilty, he even stuck out his tongue and licked the few drops of black blood that had landed on the corners of his mouth, like a madman.

The defenders still had too little artillery fire. A dozen or so guns were not enough to stop the charge of more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers. Soon they broke through the artillery blockade and rushed to the front of the defenders' positions.
This time there was no need for the battalion commander to give orders. Officers at all levels took the lead in firing their guns, and their gunshots were orders.

Hundreds of light and heavy machine guns and thousands of rifles fired fiercely at the Japanese. The Japanese infantry lines fell down in large sections like a rice field swept by a strong wind.

When the Japanese approached, flying thunder cannons and hand grenades rained down like raindrops, quickly clearing out the rushing Japanese. The piles of corpses were so shocking that even Colonel Shanyuan, who was hundreds of meters away, could see them.

Although the thick neck of Colonel Yamato was still stiff, his trembling lips and flickering eyes had already betrayed him;

This is not an attack, this is giving heads to the defenders!
"Sir, it's getting dark. Please suspend the attack..."

Major Kobayashi said tremblingly. He was also frightened by the huge casualties. The firepower density of the defenders was far beyond their imagination. It was impossible to break through the firepower network composed of hundreds of light and heavy machine guns by human wave tactics.

What’s more, the defenders also had artillery, thousands of rifles, seemingly endless grenades, and “big rocks” as powerful as heavy artillery… Colonel Shanyuan closed his eyes in pain. If he could, he really didn’t want to open them again. The setting sun was like blood, and the entire mountain was dyed red by the devil’s blood;
——We can’t fight any more!

When Colonel Shanyuan opened his eyes again, he was hunched over, and his height, which was only 1 meters, had shrunk to 5 meters.

Others' hair turned white overnight, but he became hunchbacked in three seconds and his eyes became empty.

"Kobayashi-kun—retreat!"

This sentence almost exhausted all his strength, and his spine was broken by Song Yunhan.

The Japanese retreated like a tide, and Song Yunhan took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. The loud military bugle calls pierced the Japanese's courage.

……

The remaining Japanese soldiers' fighting spirit completely disappeared, and some even knelt on the ground and begged for the protection of Amaterasu.

Unfortunately, this is China. How can Amaterasu have the chance to show her worth in front of all the gods in China?
He is only responsible for collecting the souls of the devils!
There was no way to collect all the sacks, but Amaterasu enjoyed it.

When Colonel Yamato saw Amaterasu waving at him, he drew his sword and prepared to strike himself, but Major Kobayashi snatched it away and yelled:

"Mr. Captain, as long as there is life, there is hope!"

This was true, but it would be embarrassing to put the knife back after it was already drawn. Major Kobayashi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and called a few staff officers to help him up and leave. Colonel Yamayuan struggled for a few times but gave up.

Since the regiment headquarters was in the back, it was easy for them to escape and escape. After gathering the defeated soldiers, Colonel Yamato chose to draw his sword again, but was stopped by Major Kobayashi. Colonel Yamato was so angry that he cursed:
"Bakayaro, Kobayashi-kun, you are putting me in an unjust situation. How can I face the general?"

Major Kobayashi said sincerely:

"Victory and defeat are common in the military. As long as you are here, the 50th Regiment will be here!

I heard that Yue Qianli is known as the colonel harvester, and the general doesn't want the Sakai detachment to contribute another victory to him."

Colonel Shanyuan didn't want to do that either, so he took the opportunity to back down. In this flanking operation, one of the regiments was destroyed in half. There was no point in fighting any further, so he turned around and returned to his unit in disgrace.

Song Yunhan had not expected the results to be so good. He collected more than 1300 Japanese corpses. If the wounded and missing were included, the 50th Infantry Regiment had been crippled.

A large number of guns and ammunition were seized. Although most of the enemy's baggage was destroyed, the ammunition and supplies carried by individual soldiers were enough to make up for the consumption of the 3rd Battalion in this operation. The only problem was that the mortar shells seized were not many and could not fill the hole.

After listening to the report from Captain Wende Xing, Song Yunhan said excitedly:
"Brothers, you have fought well. People should be content. I will give you an extra meal tonight. Each of you will get a can of captured beef!
Report the victory to the detachment commander immediately, and let the brothers in the main position feel at ease. "(End of this chapter)
