Chapter 163 Highland Defense

The Japanese army abandoned Tengchong and resolutely kept Longling, an important traffic route.

At nightfall, after taking turns to attack for several hours, with 200 casualties, the other side of the road pass was also conquered by the Sichuan Army.Now the only thing blocking Yu Division from going to Longling is the road covered by landslides, and it just so happens that there is no need to attack right now.

In the early hours of the morning, the defeated soldiers had already retreated along the road.There were only a small number of people, five to six hundred people, who crossed the road buried in gravel and mud, ran back in a panic, and were finally arrested and imprisoned.

Until dawn, soldiers of the retreating expeditionary force appeared on the road, and these people had already run out of order.All were arrested and imprisoned, awaiting Shangfeng's disposal.

The next morning.

Hai Zhengchong of the main regiment, several school-level officers, and officers above the battalion level of the Sichuan Army gathered in the tent, surrounded by torches and candles.A map was placed on the large square table made of two small wooden tables, and Master Mai was still receiving instructions from the military department in the corner.

A Yi stood up and picked up a telegram and said: "I order the two regiments of the Yu Division to stick to the road east of Longling. The Youlin Division has moved south to stop the Japanese reinforcements from Mangshi to the north. Our department will stand firm and wait for the reinforcements. Be sure to stand Stand firm, and do not retreat eastward unless ordered."

"This is an order from the military department."

A Yi picked up another telegram on the table and said: "This is an order from the division headquarters. The main force regiment and the Sichuan Army must stick to it for two days. The second main force regiment is already gathering and will go to reinforcements with the rest of the friendly forces. Division seat Will lead the reinforcements.

Be sure to stick to it, our department is very large, if the highway is captured by the Japanese army, the consequences will be disastrous. "

When the voice fell to the ground, Ah Yi also put the telegram in his hand on the table, and the entire headquarters fell into silence, and the air was so sticky that it was hard to breathe.The situation was going well the day before yesterday, but now we have to move from the offensive side to the defensive side.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that no one spoke, Chen Yu stood up: "We still have tens of thousands of troops in Longling. It is impossible for the Japanese army to send all of them to support them. At most, it is just a mixed formation to strengthen the brigade. All of them are frowning. The situation in western Yunnan has become overwhelming. , The Japanese army can't afford to make too much waves, they have no troops.

Felt sold again, we weren't sold.The division next door was also transferred to the south to stop Mangshi and support the Japanese army. They can fight, so you gave up?The east, south, and north sides were encircled, and it was just a matter of stabilizing the heels. When Tengchong was liberated and the main force went south, the more than 1 Japanese troops in Longling City were dead ghosts. "

Die, die, speak at the right time: "Don't use sticks here as logs, and set up defenses along the hills on both sides of the road. The Japanese army will come at night at the latest. Waiting here is not an option, sticking to it is the important thing."

This is the end of the conversation, and it is not appropriate to continue to sit around the tent.

Hai Zhengchong led his officers to leave, and went back to deploy his defenses.The Sichuan Army Corps also began to build fortification positions. The high ground at the highway pass here is particularly important. It can attack Longling if it advances, and it can stand undefeated if it retreats, posing a threat to Longling at any time.

The roads that were buried by the bombing were not cleared up, and everyone started to get busy, carrying hoes, shovels, and engineer shovels to dig the ground.Repair the fortifications left by the Japanese army and wait for the Japanese army's counterattack.

Chen Yu and Shilasila climbed up to the high ground, and when they saw the winding road spreading across the land, and there was almost no danger in front of them, they also understood why the Japanese army built semi-permanent fortifications here.

Among the rolling low hills, the Burma Highway is in the jungle.The rammed road can withstand the bombardment of small-caliber artillery. In order to build this road, countless migrant workers fell on the side of the road.

When excavating fortifications, the Sichuan Army Corps dug more than a dozen bone pits near the high ground, most of which were buried alive or shot to death with their hands tied behind their backs.More than a dozen bone pits and more than 200 people were all executed here after building fortifications for the Japanese army.

On the top of the mountain, Milong was looking for a suitable shooting position with a light machine gun on his shoulder. When he saw Chen Yu and Shilasila standing together, he didn't say anything, but left here to continue searching elsewhere.

Die Shile frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Milong?"

"He's just a sergeant, my colonel." Chen Yu said quietly.

"Unlucky."

"Ah."

Dead dead dead said softly: "He should be promoted to an officer, how about being a company commander, or let him be the company commander of the guard company."

"He's a machine gunner. Let him be the company commander. If you're tired of learning, the whole company will be reimbursed. Why don't you force him to retire after the war? What do you think?" Chen Yu suggested.

"That's good. After the war, let him retire and go home to take care of his wife and children."

Chen Yu also said: "He has long been the quartermaster of the Sichuan Army. In fact, he doesn't need to carry a machine gun to fight. Let him go down and look at the warehouse supplies with Kang Ya. Thousands of people can't miss him as a machine gunner. If he dies, Who raised his wife and children?"

After finishing speaking, I died and fell into silence. Now the old cannon fodders are facing a problem.When the Sichuan Army became bigger and bigger, its organization became more and more perfect. In addition, a large number of educated young officers joined the secret service battalion, and those illiterate veterans could not climb up.

Milong, for example, doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, and doesn't know how to command troops to fight. He just wants to be with his brothers and doesn't like fighting.He may be a qualified or even excellent machine gunner veteran, but he cannot be a qualified company and platoon officer.

If you can't climb up, you can only be a big soldier. Those who are old cannon fodder and become officials, their official positions are getting bigger and bigger, and they can't care about the life and death brothers at the bottom.

Chen Yu observed those old brothers for a long time, and Milong was not suitable to be a company commander.Even Snake has the rank of lieutenant on his buttocks and shoulders to manage an infantry company, plus dozens of people who cook, and he can lead a company to make do with the war, but Milong just wants to go home after the war to accompany his wife and children.

Dead dead dead hooked from the top of the mountain to Milong: "What are you doing carrying a machine gun, the quartermaster is going to carry a machine gun? Throw the machine gun to the others and go down to help Kang Ya carry the ammunition.

You are the quartermaster appointed by Ah Yi, the quartermaster does not need to carry a machine gun, get out! "

Milong smashed his mouth, stretched out his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, glanced at Chen Yu who swayed down the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then threw the light machine gun to the deputy shooter who he didn't know how many times.I don't know who the last deputy shooter was, but it must not be Doubing.

Bean Cake has already died in Nantianmen, maybe there will be a tombstone in the future, which says 'Sergeant Valley Wheat', it can only be like this.

Chen Yu tried his best to help those old brothers get promoted, but those veterans of junior and upper ranks were still non-commissioned officers no matter how they were promoted three ranks in a row, and they couldn't get over the hurdle of officers.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Japanese troops appeared on the winding road in the distance.Four tanks and armored vehicles rushed forward along the road as the vanguard, followed by Japanese soldiers appearing one after another. The fully armed Japanese army appeared on the endless forest road, which was so eye-catching.

The Japanese army began to build up out of range of fire and began to send a small group of infantry to search.They didn't know that the highlands here had been captured by the expeditionary force last night, but they were cautious and cautious. The mixed Japanese army in front of them was an elite force.

Chapter 164 It's Just a Sacrifice

In the green jungle, on the winding road, a long yellow worm appeared on the road.

From the cautious military style of this Japanese army, as well as the orderliness of the marching army, when the enemy was not found, they began to send out scouts to search and move forward.The large army stopped a kilometer away, and only a small infantry squad was searching and advancing along the road.

When they found the hillside on the left side of the hill that had been bombed and collapsed, the Japanese infantry team retreated quickly and never stepped forward to continue the search.

In a semi-underground bunker built with thick logs, several military officers of the Sichuan Army saw the retreat of the Japanese search team that had advanced to 600 meters on the hillside, and bad thoughts appeared in their hearts.

Chen Yu half squatted behind the artillery mirror and watched: "Really chicken thief, tell the rear artillery positions to concentrate all long-range artillery fire for firepower testing. The first line of defense on the hillside is against Japanese armored tanks, and let Krupp wipe his anti-aircraft guns." Clean, make sure to destroy the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles as soon as possible.

The Japanese army on the opposite side marched in a hurry, without carrying large-caliber artillery, and there were only a few mountain cannons up to the sky.The first line of defense must quickly repel the Japanese army's first attack, and they must not be allowed to detect the firepower of the second line of defense. "

"Yes!"

A young lieutenant officer next to him responded and immediately notified the first position at the foot of the mountain.

Dead, dead, sitting on an ammunition box and cleaning his firearms, this guy has a ridiculous number of firearms, including Colt pistols, Yu Xiaoqing's Browning pistols, and a 79 rifle. With a Mauser pistol, the whole person looks like a walking armory.

Now he basically doesn't have to brave the hail of bullets to fight the front line, he can only wipe these firearms that have saved him more than once in a boring way, and wipe them back and forth.It is a habit developed by the Sichuan Army that everyone must maintain their firearms at all times, otherwise they will be eaten at night.

Those who were forced out by Chen Yu were treated equally by everyone, even the head of Ayi was no exception.

Ah Yi, who was standing by the observation hole, had nothing to do and could only announce to everyone: "The whole regiment obeys the command of Chief of Staff Chen, and he is the best officer in our regiment."

"Yes!" Several young military officers and Zhang Lixian agreed.

As for the old cannon fodder of the Sichuan Army Corps, Chen Yu basically made the decision if they died or died in battle.Ah Yi was very unlucky. When Myanmar retreated, the two leading troops suffered disastrous defeats, which caused the old cannon fodder to not trust him.

After confirming the commander, ZI ZI ZI no longer cared about those trivial matters, put away the few guns in front of him, picked up the 79 rifle leaning against the wall and left.When leaving, I went to inspect the various positions by the way, and faced the soldiers with a calm attitude.

He is the soul of the Sichuan Legion. Facing the upcoming battle, he was so relaxed and freehand that it made thousands of soldiers feel relieved.The veterans of each company and platoon are also stabilizing a large number of soldiers who have not fought, telling them that they only need to obey the orders of the commander.

The two regiments concentrated on the previous long-range artillery, plus the division artillery team marching with the main regiment, dozens of artillery formed a cluster of artillery fire, crossed the mountain top and crossed the sky, and fired corrective shells in the direction of the Japanese army one kilometer away.

These are just some of them, and there are more than [-] direct-firing guns here and there, as well as a large number of scary mortars. It is not easy for the Japanese army to capture the high ground.

From the artillery mirror, Chen Yu saw that more than 20 shells landed in the distant forest where the Japanese army hoarded. The shells smashed dirt and dust in the woods, and shattered countless leafy trees.

Give the Japanese army a taste of artillery fire first, and interrupt their military deployment plan.The artillery shells should be exploded first, or wait for the Japanese army to organize a combat formation and use the artillery after charging?

Correcting the gap after the artillery fire was fired, the Japanese armored tanks and trucks staying on the road quickly drove into the forest to avoid the artillery fire.After a brief gap, three rapid-fire shots followed, blowing up the distant Japanese-infested forest into chaos, and clearing out a huge open space in just a few minutes.

Ah Yi watched the artillery shells fall in the distant forest, and inadvertently sighed: "We also have artillery fire. The best artillery in the past was the two-pound mortar that the British didn't want, and there were only more than 100 shells.

OK now!Mortars, mountain artillery, field artillery, and even heavy artillery with a thickness of more than [-] mm can be used in a few days. It feels like a dream now. "

"Not more."

Chen Yu said: "I have seen Yu Zhi, the division's chariot team. When Yu Xiaoqing was reorganizing the Sichuan Army, he packed Yu Zhi and the chariot team as dowry maids. I guess you are on the way now, and you even have tanks, Mr. Yi."

"Really?"

Bu La, who was cleaning the gun in the corner of the fortification, said: "The son of a bitch is a liar, there are tanks."

Chen Yu stretched out his old waist that had been squatting for a long time: "Erbajia's body is like a crisp, and he cuts ordinary people with a sword at his waist. Although no heads are seen, he secretly teaches you that the bones are dry. The ancients are sincere, don't deceive me! Why do you bend this waist for a while? It hurts, how will I live in the future~~~

Within 10 minutes, the Japanese army will organize a tentative attack, A Yi, believe it or not? "

A Yi pondered for a moment and then said: "The military quality of the Japanese soldiers is better than ours, and they will definitely launch a tentative attack in 10 minutes. If you keep the second position from firing, the first position is to confuse the Japanese army, so that they can't guess how many we have. People, plus a cluster of artillery attacks. The real and the real, the real and the not real."

"That's right! We just want to block the Japanese army's footsteps in the positional blocking war. We can use any method. Why fight with knives?"

Ah Yi suddenly realized: "With you, I really learned a lot."

Chen Yu spit on the ground: "I just hope that Chief Ayi will not beat the Chinese in the future. Maybe it will be a war between warlords in the future, and the Chinese people will suffer."

Ah Yi on the side grinned brightly: "It's too far away, now I just want to drive away the Japanese."

"Mr. Ah Yi!"

Chen Yu said to himself: "You only talk about unity, not division, or be careful that someone will shoot you behind your back."

"Who will shoot me black?"

"It can't be said for sure."

······

When the shelling ended, almost at the same time, the Japanese army organized troops and began to touch the hills and highlands on the left and right sides.There are two highlands on the top of the mountain, guarded by the main force regiment and the Sichuan Army regiment respectively. There are two lines of defense at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside.

Four battalions served as guards, and the remaining two battalions rested in the rear as reserves for rotation.

Two Japanese infantry squads launched a tentative attack as a forward, coordinating with two armored tank vehicles.

The first batch of mortar shells fell on the heads of the infested Japanese army with a sharp and strange howling sound. Two armored tanks traveling on the road were destroyed by Krupp's anti-aircraft artillery at a distance of 500 meters from the position. .He used the facts to tell the people of the Sichuan Army that the Japanese tanks were really easy to fight, and the tofu would be pierced with chopsticks.

The direct fire from the first position, the heavy machine guns cut off the shrubs and vines in the forest in front of them, and the bolt-action rifles formed a dense firepower to shoot at the outcropping Japanese soldiers.Soon the Japanese army's counterattack began. The [-]-step artillery was accompanied by various small-caliber curved guns for fire support, and the Japanese army also relied on trees to advance.

Chen Yu glanced at the direction of the [-]-step artillery fired in the distance. A few minutes later, without waiting for him to swear, the group of artillery fire relied on the guidance of the artillery fire instructor, and the shells directly washed the ground and blew up the forest.

There was a violent explosion in the distance, and the flames rushed into the sky, and the Japanese artillery shells exploded.

Chapter 165 Fighting

A piece of yellow pressure, the sky is black, the earth is emerald green and yellow.

The yellow is not only the land, but also the Japanese army retreating in an orderly manner.The continuous verdant green mountains and green forests were bombed with potholes, the smoke from the explosion of the shells soared upwards, and the strong smell of gunpowder wafted in the air.

Chen Yu watched Yamashita as the vanguard of the Japanese army retreating. The gap between the two was too great. After the Japanese army made a tentative attack, Lieutenant Cao began to organize the retreat.They knew that they could not capture the high ground with this little support of men and artillery, so they began to retreat.

Huang was overwhelmed, the Japanese army retreated in an orderly manner at first, and then started to leave in a panic after running a few steps.The armored tank he was relying on had already been scrapped, lying on the road and slowly emitting black smoke, the flames burned on the armored tank, and soon ignited the ammunition carried in the vehicle, and died again.

The forward Japanese army is destined not to break through the position, and it is difficult to even get close to the position.

These elite Japanese troops may have been invincible elsewhere in the country, but here they also had to accept defeat.Leaving dozens of corpses behind, the Japanese escaped from the fire range of the highland defenders, and it was just a small battle.

Even if the Japanese army's temptation to the highland defenders is also the defender's temptation to the Japanese army.

Half an hour later, the young lieutenant from before came to the forward command fortification and began to report the results of the battle and the casualties of our army to Ah Yi and Chen Yu.

"In this battle, two Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, 43 Japanese soldiers were killed, and three wounded Japanese soldiers were captured. Our army killed 28 people and suffered 35 casualties, of which [-] were seriously injured and needed immediate treatment.

The three wounded Japanese soldiers were seriously injured, and they were almost bombed by the shells, and they had only one breath left. "

After hearing this, Chen Yu pondered for a moment: "Do your best to save the three wounded Japanese soldiers, and send a platoon to escort the seriously wounded and the Japanese prisoners to the rear. Don't bully them, and give them food and drink."

Ah Yi asked puzzledly: "Hey, dead fish. You used to keep the Japanese captives, why do you want to save them now?"

"What?"

Chen Yu sat on the ammunition box and said: "This man! Once he reaches his age and has a family, he has a kind heart and wants to show mercy."

"It's not like you."

"The living Japanese soldiers are worth more than the dead ones. Take them to report the good news to the teacher. What do you think? We didn't want to take prisoners before. We didn't have the conditions. Now we have the conditions. If you don't use it to ask the teacher for credit and reward, you're out of your mind, right?"

Ah Yi looked at Chen Yu with strange eyes, and circled around him several times. Chen Yu couldn't take it anymore and called the lieutenant.

"Look for a wooden stake to hang up the Japanese prisoners, and the Sichuan Army will not keep any prisoners!" Chen Yu said angrily.

Now, Ah Yi's eyes are considered normal.

The lieutenant said with a bitter face: "Sir, Dong Dao of the Second Battalion and his men have already hung up the Japanese prisoners. Company Commander Ma cut off the hands and feet of the prisoners with a bayonet. It is estimated that all the blood has flowed out.

I tried to persuade you, but they said that this is a rule set by you, sir. The corpses and prisoners of Japanese military officials are hung up. This is the rule when you go abroad for the first time, and no one can do it. "

"what?"

Chen Yu looked at Ah Yi in a daze, shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "It's okay, you can go down."

The second battle after the Western Expedition began, and the small-scale tentative attack of the Japanese army ended in failure, which should have been an attack that should have failed.

Half buried in the earthworks, Chen Yu tried his best to stabilize his flustered mind. This was his first time commanding a regiment-level battle, so he had to be careful, wishing he could cut his brain in half.Ah Yi looked at the forest in the distance, not knowing what to see, his brows were furrowed and he was also very nervous.

After fighting for so many years, everyone knows the Japanese army's subsequent military operations.

Chen Yu turned around and said to the lieutenant herald behind him: "Hurry up and repair the fortifications, the Japanese army will attack again within half an hour. Inform your neighbor Haizheng Chong Regiment, keep a close watch on the Japanese army's movements, and notify immediately if there is any abnormality.
