Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

"Bakayaro, have you contacted the Yagi Unit? Tell them to report their location immediately."

Ide Nobutoki shouted angrily.

Hearing the sound of artillery fire coming from the valley, he ordered the signalmen to contact him, but there was no news at all.

Without a specific location, how could he provide artillery support?

"Reporting to the Brigade Commander, we still cannot contact the Yagi Regiment. It is estimated that something unexpected has happened."

In fact, the Japanese signalmen were killed by artillery shells during their hasty escape, so how could they have time to reply to the telegram?

Ide Nobutoki had no choice but to shout orders.

"Speed ​​up the march, hurry up, I want to kill these Chinese."

They were not very far away and could arrive in seven or eight minutes.

Major General Yagi did not escape after all. As soon as he reached the hillside, he bumped into Ji Hongru's men.

Fierce gunfire continued, and the number of people around him became fewer and fewer.

The Japanese soldiers probably realized that they were at a dead end and began to launch a fierce counterattack against the soldiers of the 301st Regiment.

"Commander, there's a high-ranking Japanese officer over there, he seems to be a general."

Company commander Zhou Shuchen shouted excitedly.

It was definitely wrong when he attacked just now. The Japanese were too well protected, and almost all of them were fighting desperately.

Finally, through the constantly flashing firelight, they discovered Major General Yagi inside.

Upon hearing this, Ji Hongru clenched his fist and waved his hand fiercely.

"Capture them alive! This is the Japanese regiment commander, and there are probably a large number of civilian personnel as well."

He was so excited that his life was not fought in vain, although the fierce attack on the Japanese squadron on the mountainside caused heavy losses to the 301st Regiment.

But if we capture the Japanese regiment commander, we can even seize the regiment flag!

He couldn't even imagine the shock that would occur.

You know, at that time, almost no entire Japanese army was wiped out.

Of course, that was because the news that the Sichuan Regiment was completely wiped out by Luweidang had not spread, and the Japanese themselves were too embarrassed to bring it up.

Liao Lei reported the matter later, but the KMT leadership did not respond.

They thought Liao Lei just wanted to get more credit, so they didn't care much.

After receiving the order, Zhou Shuchen immediately told the soldiers to be careful not to kill the Japanese general!

He began to be timid, but Gu Changfeng's men who were chasing him from the valley didn't care.

Facing the clustered Japanese troops, grenade launchers, machine guns and grenades were used together.

In an instant, a large number of Japanese soldiers fell.

Seeing this, Ji Hongru hurriedly ordered his soldiers to show mercy, but it was too late.

A shell landed precisely next to Yagi.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Major General Yagi was blown to pieces and his flesh and blood flew everywhere. It was obvious that he was dead.

At this time, the Yagi Regiment's flag was also burning on the ground.

Ji Hongru saw it clearly, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he shouted hurriedly:

"Quick, kill these devils and rescue the devil's regiment flag for me."

Only two minutes passed from the order to show mercy to the order to rescue the regimental flag, and the soldiers of the 301st Regiment were speechless.

Despite the Japanese soldiers' desperate resistance, Ji Hongru finally got half of the Yagi Regiment's flag.

Ji Hongru was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

However, this thing was enough to prove his identity, so he put his mind at ease and began to go to the back mountain to provide support.

Gu Changfeng's subordinates also followed the main force to the back mountain.

Xiao Wu was quite cunning. Seeing that there was nothing serious in the valley, he directly ordered the special forces to run to the back mountain, and also took Li Jie's rocket launcher platoon with him.

They had no problem going around on the left.

Gu Changfeng didn't take it seriously and started cleaning up the battlefield.

These are all supplies, it is shameful to waste them.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion was heard from the back mountain, and the Ide Brigade arrived with the remaining troops.

Iide Nobutoki received news of several defeated soldiers on the road and found that there seemed to be no need to rescue the Yagi Regiment, so he directly ordered an artillery bombardment.

The soldiers of the 301st and nd Battalions of the st Regiment had already pushed the remaining one hundred or so Japanese soldiers to the top of the mountain.

When the bombardment came, they were in trouble.

In anger, Iide Nobutoshi didn't care whether there were any soldiers alive in the Yagi Regiment and directly ordered artillery fire to cover the area.

At one time, many soldiers of the 301st Regiment were blown away.

"Damn, the Japs came back to support us pretty quickly."

Gu Changfeng cursed, but he also expected the Japanese support.

Anyway, the entire Japanese regiment has been dealt with. Now we just need to hold on for a while and wait for the artillery company to be ready, and then we will no longer be threatened by the Japanese.

As for the idea of ​​fighting again, I really don't have that.

The Japanese artillery regiment was eyeing him at any time, and he could not afford the losses if he continued fighting.

"Everyone disperse, order the first and second battalions to retreat, quickly."

Ji Hongru was originally rushing towards the direction where the gunshots were heard, but now he didn't dare to go there anymore.

Since the Japanese reinforcements have arrived, it is useless to continue fighting. It is better to preserve the results of the battle.

The main thing is that Gu Changfeng didn’t say he wanted to continue fighting.

Soon, the soldiers received orders and began to evacuate in a dispersed manner.

The artillery company led by Lu Daya quickly received the news and then began to position and adjust the muzzle.

The soldiers who stayed in the valley to clean up the battlefield also began to evacuate down the mountain carrying supplies.

"Bagayalu, flatten this mountain for me."

Iide Nobutoki's anger could not be contained at all. If the entire regiment was destroyed, he would become a disgrace to the empire.

He would almost certainly end up in a military court when he returned, and he would have no chance of continuing to work as a brigade commander.

So, this is his last fight.

"Kuroiwa-kun, have your troops stop those Chinese."

"Don't let any of them go, they'll all die!"

When Iide Nobutoki calmed down a little, he gave new orders to the regiment commander, Major General Kuroiwa.

Major General Heiyan immediately accepted the order and then ordered two of his battalions to rush to the left and right sides to encircle the enemy, while another battalion to attack up the mountain.

After making the arrangements, Major General Kuroiwa returned to Iide Nobutoki's side.

"Your Excellency, the Brigade Commander, there is still a Chinese mortar battalion in Hushu Town."

"There's no guarantee they won't attack. Our artillery squadron can't continue."

Kuroiwa's words made Ide Nobutoki come to his senses, and he shouted anxiously.

"Order the artillery squadron to relocate immediately, quickly."

The Yagi Regiment was almost wiped out, and this result made him very upset. If Heiyan hadn't reminded him, he would not have thought about it at all.

If the artillery squadron is destroyed again, he won't even have to fight the last battle tonight and can just commit seppuku.

Forget about revenge. Without deterrence, what’s the use of half his brigade?

Do you still want to count on the support of the division?

The Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, and the soldiers of the 301st Regiment and Gu Changfeng's men seized the rare opportunity and began to evacuate quickly.

If you can take some guns and ammunition, take them. If you can’t, just ignore them and leave.

Gu Changfeng, on the other hand, was relatively calm. He looted everything in the valley, and then led the special forces team back to defend.

"Report to Commander Gu, a large Japanese force is encircling us from the left."

"Report to Commander Gu, the Japanese are encircling us from the right."

"There's a large group of Japanese soldiers coming up the mountain from behind, and they're targeting us."

Several pieces of news came one after another.

Gu Changfeng had a serious expression and gave instructions to Xiao Wu and Li Jie.

"Li Jie, cooperate with the special forces to delay the Japanese for a while. You can handle the shells yourself. Return all the people."

Li Jie smiled and said, "Captain Gu, if we run out, remember to replenish it for us!"

He loved this kind of order to fight without restraint, and this time he brought one-third of the stock with him.

A few hundred shells were more than enough for him to have a good time.
