Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

The Japanese tanks and heavy artillery mainly moved with the 219th Regiment.

The 220th Regiment and the Engineer Regiment only have a few 75 infantry guns, [-]mm mountain guns, mortars, and grenades.

The Thirty-fifth Division has dealt with the Independent Brigade and knows how powerful the Independent Brigade is.

They are especially afraid of being made into dumplings, just like the Thirty-Third Division.

Therefore, the scouts were sent far away, at least more than three kilometers.

As we got closer and closer to the mountain ridge, the captain's eyelids began to twitch wildly. We are very close to the Independence Brigade ahead, why is there still no movement?

"Contact the frontline soldiers to see if you have discovered anything."

"Hi!"

After a while, the signal soldier returned.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Captain, the leading soldiers have lost contact!"

Our army has taken advantage of reconnaissance and sent people to quietly kill the Japanese soldiers with daggers.

"Stop moving forward!"

"Stop moving forward!"

The Japanese moved forward one after another to deliver orders.

The captain jumped into the ditch, took the periscope from the side, and carefully observed the terrain ahead.

This place is located in a mountain depression on the south side of the mountain ridge. The terrain is undulating and transportation is inconvenient.

There is a hillside ahead, which is very steep.

The co-captain felt very puzzled, how could he end up here? If the enemy ambushes on the hillside and suddenly breaks out when you are halfway up the mountain, wouldn't it be fatal?

The captain took out the map and compared it carefully.

"Baga, you're going the wrong way!"

When the Japanese arrived in Jin Province, most of them became road idiots and often took the wrong road.

Even quasi-special forces like the Yamamoto Force have gone astray.

"You can't go further north. Turn due west. From the map, there is a river about two kilometers away. If you go south along the river, you can reach the back side of Xiaodonggou."

"Hay!"

The Japanese stopped walking north and turned west, rendering our two companies ambushed in the mountain ridge useless.

"Brigadier Xing, the scout just reported that the Japanese 220th Regiment is no longer coming and has turned west."

Xing Zhiguo sighed and said helplessly:

"Leave one company behind and slowly withdraw with heavy equipment. The others will advance lightly and turn south to Xinglin Village. We must reach Laogedui first before the enemy, and we cannot let the Japanese run further west. If we go further west , it will threaten the logistics supply lines of the third and fourth regiments."

The terrain in the Shanzhong Ridge area was complicated, and the infantry fighting vehicle had to work hard to get up.

In hilly areas, infantry fighting vehicles cannot travel as fast as those traveling on two legs. Accidents such as rollovers may even occur.

Gao Daquan arranged it according to Xing Zhiguo's request.

While packing his luggage, he said to Xing Zhiguo:

"Actually, the Japanese shouldn't have come here. They just wanted to go to Xiaodonggou, Zhongli Village, and then to Wangzhuanggou.

I don’t know why the Japanese came straight to Shankou Ridge. "

"You went the wrong way! I don't think they planned to run so far in the first place!

Last year, the Yamazaki Brigade also took the wrong path and broke into Shuiyaozi, and was later surrounded in Lijiapo.

However, we have to pay attention to it in the future.

If the Japs deliberately take a wrong path in the mountains, and when our heavy equipment enters the mountain, the Japs come out again, our heavy equipment will not be as maneuverable as two legs in the mountainous area.

You will be forced to fight the Japanese with light weapons. "

"That's right! This time, the Japanese's false shot knocked away nearly a battalion of our heavy equipment. We still have to leave two companies to transport these heavy equipment back."

In addition to Gao Daquan's battalion, another battalion is also like this one, leaving some soldiers to slowly transport heavy equipment.

The remaining personnel moved forward lightly.

So, in fact, most of the heavy equipment of these two battalions was left in the mountains.

The battalion of the special operations group did not have any heavy weapons, and the heaviest one was the recoilless rifle.

And it goes far behind enemy lines.

Xing Zhiguo asked them to continue to occupy Bochiyan and Cuijia Mountain as planned.

There aren't many Japs in these places, so it's not difficult to occupy them.

A regiment of one and a half Japanese soldiers approached [-] Japanese soldiers and rushed towards Yangshu Village.

Our troops were not stationed in Yangshu Village, so the Japanese directly occupied Yangshu Village.

Then I saw the small river to the west. There was very little water in the river and it was cut off in some places.

A squadron of more than two hundred Japanese soldiers crossed the river and continued westward, heading towards Laogedui.

Here, we finally met the main force of the first battalion.

It is said to be the main force, but in fact there are only about 500 people. There are more than [-] Japanese in a squadron. This is the reinforced squadron.

As soon as they made contact, the Japanese immediately retreated and took cover, fearing that they would be shelled.

They have dealt with our army and know how powerful our artillery fire is.

But this time, I don’t know what happened, but I was hit by a few mortars at most.

Our army's barrage of artillery fire greatly increased the Japanese's confidence and they attacked again.

In addition, the 220th Wing also reinforced two squadrons and provided artillery support.

Suddenly, the firepower exceeded that of a battalion, and they actually fought back and forth with half of our battalion!

Without heavy equipment, our army cannot form an overwhelming advantage over the Japanese. Especially the number of people is far less than that of the Japanese.

The two sides fought fiercely for another half hour, and our army repelled two short Japanese attacks.

The Japanese also gained confidence and sent two more squadrons to outflank them.

My first battalion had just arrived at Laogedui, and before we had time to build a defensive position, we were fighting with the Japanese.

Even if the soldiers wear body armor, the casualties are not small.

Now the Japanese are surrounding us from both sides, and we are in danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese.

Even so, the first battalion cannot retreat, otherwise the Japanese will advance straight in and cut off the supply lines of the third and fourth regiments, and the entire battle situation will be affected.

With Xing Zhiguo's character of risking his life in war, he had no choice but to ask Zhang Dabiao for help. Compared with the overall situation, personal face is nothing!

"Da Biao, quickly transfer two battalions from the Fourth Regiment to Laogedui, I can't hold it anymore! If we can't come in an hour, I will have to go up and fight with the bayonet!"

"Don't worry, reinforcements will be here soon! Brigadier Xing, please don't be impulsive!"

Zhang Dabiao had always kept the war situation in mind, so he could naturally guess how serious it would be in Laogedui.

After hanging up the phone, I immediately called the air defense regiment:

"Air defense regiment? I am Zhang Dabiao. Now Deputy Brigadier Xing is about to be surrounded by Japanese soldiers in Laogedui. They lack heavy weapons.

I order you to immediately use your missiles to hit ground targets and support Deputy Brigadier Xing! But a certain amount of air defense power must be retained. "

"Yes!"

Military general Xiao Zhan taught the soldiers of the air defense regiment the technique of hitting ground targets with anti-aircraft missiles. Although the operation is not very skillful, it can only hit a target as big as a tank accurately, and it will not send the missile to one's own head.

Then he called the Xiaodonggou position and found Xiao Zhanwu. On the one hand, he told him his arrangements for the air defense regiment; on the other hand, he asked him to use anti-tank missiles to support Laogedui.

As for the tanks in front of Xiaodonggou, let the soldiers of the fifth regiment use self-propelled mortars to fire armor-piercing shells to deal with them.
