Not long after the Wuming Hillside position was attacked, Okamura Ningji, an old devil, received the news.
It was just that it was late at night and the reconnaissance plane could not be dispatched, so he could only order the encirclement and suppression troops to turn around and encircle this position.
At this time, as the air force reconnaissance plane reported the collected information, Okamura Neiji's communication staff quickly took the most valuable telegram and rushed into the command room where Okamura Neiji was located.
Okamura Ningji, the old devil, was furious at the time because he lost the trail of the Huben regiment because of the encirclement and suppression of the troops.
The several combat staff officers present were all terrified by fright, their heads were lowered, as if they were walking on thin ice, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
………………
Chapter 908 Decisive Battle at Sunset Ridge! (First update!)
Seeing the arrival of the communications staff officer, Neiji Okamura, who was getting angry, asked angrily, "Any more bad news?"
The communication staff officer was taken aback by Okamura Neiji's sharp knife-like gaze, but he quickly came back to his senses, and immediately stood up with a "snap" and raised his hand in salute: "It's good news to report to Your Excellency Commander." .
Our army's reconnaissance plane has discovered the traces of the Chinese Huben regiment.
According to the information returned by the reconnaissance plane, the total strength of this group of enemy troops is at least 1500, or even more.
Therefore, it can be determined that this is their main force! "
"Oh? Where is it?" Okamura Ningji was very surprised, his eyes fixed, and he regained his energy.
"It's just 50 miles southwest of Huoqiu County, and it's currently heading due west in the form of a rapid march!" The communications staff said respectfully, and handed the message to Neiji Okamura in front of him.
Neiji Okamura took the telegram and read it quickly, slapped the telegram on the table beside him, and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately order the 28th Division, the 8th and 9th Mixed Brigade, the 3rd, 9th All divisions of the division immediately encircled this area.
In particular, the 13th Division must speed up and rush to the junction of Gushi and Huoqiu first, blocking its way to continue fleeing westward!
The rest of the ministries must also speed up and push forward along the way.
In addition, the 13th Division was also ordered to quickly dispatch mobile troops to detour to the southeast of Gushi and cut off the enemy's way to escape westward to the Dabie Mountains.
This time, we will thoroughly gather and annihilate the main force of the Huben Regiment in the area from Huoqiu to Gushi, so that no one will slip through the net! "
Because the number of Huo Huben's regiment was originally less than 2000, and they were chased and intercepted along the way, some casualties are completely reasonable.
At this time, including the puppet army, the total number was 400.
Therefore, Neiji Okamura did not expect at all that the Huben regiment had actually changed positions and separated some technical arms to break through.
"Hay!" All the devil's staff officers present nodded their heads one after another, and immediately followed orders.
More than 10 Japanese troops, with a clear goal, speeded up one after another, and encircled the position exposed by Yang Chen and the others.
In order to win the first victory, everyone increased their speed to the fastest.
Annihilating the Huben Regiment is a good opportunity to make a name and a name that lasts forever, and no one wants to miss it.
What's more, at this time, the Huben Group has nowhere to go, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has become a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out.
Driven by the interests of the unworldly military exploits, more than 10 Japanese troops swarmed in from all directions, and there were also a large number of Japanese fighter planes hovering in the sky, and from time to time they harassed the Huben Regiment army.
Forcing them to slow down the speed of retreat.
The ground troops followed up at an accelerated pace, especially some Japanese cavalry and mobile units such as tanks and motorcycles.
In less than half a day, he had already caught up.
Looking at the devil fighter planes circling back and forth in the sky, and the unfavorable situation that the scouts kept sending back.
Forced to do so, Yang Chen had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat to a barren hill at the junction of Huoqiu and Gushi, and defend to the death.
Get the benefits of mountain streams, highlands and ravines.
The Huben regiment temporarily blocked the Japanese cavalry and tank troops at the foot of the mountain.
After the fighting stopped, Yang Chen ordered the troops to quickly dig trenches on the spot and build a ring of fortifications to prepare for the next bloody battle.
Yang Chen stopped halfway up the mountain, under a big tree surrounded by three people, and held up his binoculars to look at the situation down the mountain.
Sun Cheng, who was in charge of urging the soldiers to rush to repair the fortifications, walked quickly, straightened his body, raised his hand and saluted him: "Tuan Zuo, I figured it out, the barren mountain we are retreating to is called Sunset Ridge!
The river blocking our way back is called Shiguan River, which is one of the tributaries of the Huai River.
Because it is now the flood season, the river is very turbulent! "
Yang Chen nodded, put down the binoculars, turned his head to look around the surrounding forest, and said to Sun Cheng meaningfully: "There are three cliffs here, and one of them is blocked by the Shiguan River.
Only Zhengdong's terrain is quite flat, which is suitable for the Japanese army to attack.
It was already noon, and the Chief of Staff and the others had already retreated to Linhe Village.
At night, they can use the cover of night to cross the river north.
At that time, we can break through! "
Sun Cheng's expression became serious, and after pondering for a moment, he said with emotion: "The terrain here is dangerous, and it's not a problem to persist until dark.
It's just that the dangerous terrain also greatly increased the difficulty for us to break through.
Therefore, the breakout after dark must be a fierce battle, and it is unknown how many people will be able to break through in the end. "
They are all good brothers and comrades-in-arms who have fought bloody battles all the way from Tianzhen, Shanxi, and have gone through life and death.
Yang Chen understood that what Sun Cheng said was not because he was afraid of fighting, but because the disparity in the strength of the enemy and us in this battle was too great.
Even though not all of the Japanese army arrived, and only a small number of people participated in the battle, their strength was dozens of times that of today's Tiger Regiment.
What's more, they also have a steady stream of air fighter support.
Therefore, this battle is definitely a narrow escape, far more dangerous than any battle the Huben Regiment has faced before.
As their commander, Yang Chen still wanted to say something encouraging to the soldiers, staring at the forest in front of him and slowly said: "In troubled times, when the country is in crisis, there must be someone who stands up bravely, takes the responsibility on his shoulders, and pays!
I am a soldier, and I have a duty to do it!
In today's battle, what we are doing is not for others, it is for our comrades in arms to break through smoothly, and it is also for our children and grandchildren, relatives and friends, so that they will not be enslaved by his little Japanese devil in the future!
It is for the dignity of our Chinese nation!
As a soldier, a Chinese man, we do not seek fame and fortune, but seek to be worthy of our hearts!
But we must live up to the expectations of the people and the military uniform we wear! "
Sun Cheng nodded approvingly and said: "To be honest, I have been in the army for so many years, and you are the one I admire the most!
