I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 638: The Sorrow of Zhongtiao Mountain (1) The Two Armies Meet at Heyanggou

Just as night fell, the soldiers of the first company of the second regiment were holding ordnance shovels and machine guns in their hands.

Twenty soldiers carried explosive packs on their backs and ran straight towards the Japanese heavy artillery position.

The Second Brigade Commander had already realized that the Japanese heavy artillery positions had to be taken down, otherwise they would suffer heavy losses.

This is because the National Army was short of equipment and they could only make up for it with human lives.

So the brigade commander made the decision to attack the Japanese heavy artillery positions at night to bring the strength of both sides to the same starting line.

With the help of the guerrilla division's artillery, the location of the Japanese heavy artillery position was found.

The Second Regiment received the order from the brigade commander and immediately sent out a company of soldiers.

They planned to cross Heyanggou overnight and give the Japanese a severe blow.

At the same time, Ono, who hadn't slept for two days, smashed the map on the table hard.

Hayata Chih-hsien beside him asked excitedly: "How is it going? Did you find it?"

Xiao Ye pointed at the map excitedly and said, "This Division Commander Xie Jinfang is really an expert in defense.

No wonder he was able to hold on for so long when he was in Sihang.

He set up his command center behind the mountain on the left side of Guishe Slope.

There, his command center could clearly see the entire battlefield.

And the heavy artillery of our artillery regiment just couldn't reach their position.

Now that we have found it today, let us eliminate this enemy that threatens the empire tonight."

Hayata Chih-hsien ordered: "Operation Staff, have the special forces squadron set out immediately, cross the Heyanggou, and directly take down Xie Jinfang's headquarters."

Operations Staff: “Hi!”

This special forces unit of the Japanese devils was secretly established by Tomohisa Hayata.

Although he was not very interested in Colonel Yamamoto's special forces.

But Tomohisa Hayata did not deny the merits of this tactic.

This special forces unit was secretly established under the influence of this ideology.

Their strength is definitely not comparable to that of Yamamoto Takeshita Shun and others.

But for them, a surprise attack on the headquarters of a tired army was also possible.

So the Japanese special forces, which had just been formed, marched towards Heyanggou in a mighty (and sneaky) manner.

A squadron of more than 180 Japanese soldiers was dispatched.

Or it was because they did not fully understand the tactical concepts of Yamamoto's special forces.

Tomohisa Hayata believed that if there were not enough people to carry out such a critical combat mission, it would be useless.

In order to successfully launch a surprise attack on the Kuomintang division headquarters, all personnel must be mobilized to achieve this tactical goal.

Captain Xing led his company and arrived at the west side of Heyanggou at eight o'clock in the evening.

They went down into the ditch, but did not rush to climb over it, instead choosing to wait there.

There is a Japanese patrol here, patrolling on the other side of Heyanggou.

Only after midnight, when the Japanese changed shifts.

They would only have twenty minutes to enter the Japanese defense zone from there.

The Japanese special squadron, under the cover of their patrol team, has also entered Heyanggou.

They also chose to act at midnight, attacking the opponent's important departments from that position so as not to be easily discovered.

The distance between the Japanese army and the 207th Division was less than 200 meters.

Both sides had their own elite troops, and everyone sat quietly in their original positions to rest.

Although they also used binoculars to secretly observe the positions on the other side of the ditch.

Since both sides were focusing on the situation on their opposite positions, no one noticed the existence of the other.

When it was exactly midnight, both sides asked their soldiers to stand up and move around a little.

There were too many parts on their bodies, and coupled with squatting for a long time, both sides' legs were already numb.

There were more than 180 Japanese soldiers, and the first company of the second regiment had more than 150 people.

How could the noise from their activities be small?

In order to allow their special squadron to launch a surprise attack, the Japanese transferred all the Japanese troops nearby.

Now in this area, apart from the more than 300 people, the only sounds were the chirping of insects and birds.

Although the two sides were more than 200 meters apart, it was so quiet that they both discovered something strange at the same time.

The soldiers on both sides stopped their actions and wanted to hear where the sound came from.

Silence, just eerie silence!

The commanders of both sides pondered for a while and regretted something almost at the same time.

They had been hiding in this Heyang ditch for nearly three hours (one hour at a time).

Why didn't they think of asking the soldiers to search on both sides of the ditch?

Now they have no interest in searching and just want to complete the task quickly.

When they climbed to the top of the ditch, they finally saw each other at the same time.

A local battle that could change the course of the entire campaign is about to break out.

Both of them were afraid that they would not be able to complete the task, so they had an amazing tacit understanding.

None of them chose to shoot, but approached each other silently.

Trying to quietly eliminate your opponent before he can make a sound.

They carried their submachine guns on their backs and placed their light machine guns on the ground.

Then they used only the daggers, bayonets and engineer shovels in their hands to slash and slash at each other.

Since the Heyang Valley is only about ten feet wide, neither side can tell how many people are on the other side.

At the beginning, the people from the first company took advantage. They were tall and strong, and they swung the engineering shovels in their hands so hard that they made a whirring sound.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the heads of several Japanese soldiers were chopped off and flew into the sky.

He was a small Japanese team leader and had a bit of brains.

He loosened the dagger in his hand, picked up a grenade launcher from the ground, and started swinging it.

He finally stopped the ordnance shovel in the hands of a soldier from the first company, which was swinging it around.

Then the Japanese soldiers behind him, relying on their short stature, stabbed the soldiers of the company in the lower abdomen with the daggers in their hands.

During this time, soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties.

The first senior officer to die in the confrontation was the Japanese squadron leader.

The honor of an imperial warrior did not allow him to hide behind the team headquarters and give orders, lest he be laughed at by his own subordinates.

He rushed to the front of the team, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, he realized how outrageous he was.

The other soldiers were holding short knives and daggers.

Only in his hand was he still holding his command knife foolishly.

His two arms were completely clamped by his men on both sides, and he couldn't move at all.

He could only watch helplessly as his head was chopped off by the shovel of a company commander and an engineer.

A Japanese squad leader hiding in the back finally couldn't bear the pressure of blood and iron anymore.

He pulled out his Type 14 Nambu pistol and fired wildly at the company commander.

The soldiers of the first company all had red eyes when they saw their company commander being ambushed by the Japanese.

A soldier from the first company ignited the explosive pack on his body.

Then he threw the five-kilogram bag of explosives towards the position of the Japanese squad leader.

There was only a loud "bang" and the Japanese squadron leader disappeared.
