Chapter 714: Kill Sakamoto Jun(1/2)
Hurry...
"Be gentle, be careful not to startle the Chinese people."
“Hayi.”
The bricks in the ruins were gently pulled open, and a black figure crawled out from inside. Behind him, one Japanese soldier wearing a steel helmet, holding a Type 38 rifle in his hand, and descending from the city wall pass like an earthworm.
A full moon in the sky was blocked by dark clouds, and the light was very dark. You could already hear the frogs from the fields and canals. Although only one or two times occasionally, this means that summer's footsteps have come quietly.
The position of the New 38th Brigade was quiet, as if the person had already evacuated, but when you look behind the position, you will find that the person was not leaving at all.
Everyone sat in the trenches of fortifications with their weapons in their arms, without any sound, just sitting there, one by one, guns were like a forest, an unspeakable solemn aura!
Traditional Chinese counties will dig a moat, and Yi County is no exception. During the day, the main attack directions of the troops attacking the city are mainly in the southeast and south, and in the west and north, mainly in feint attacks to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through.
The current situation is that the Japanese army in the city has been compressed into a narrow area north of the city, and some positions outside the city north are in the hands of the Japanese army.
From the beginning, Luo Yufeng never thought of surrounding the Japanese army in the city to solve the problem. The strategy of trapping beasts and fighting was not what he wanted.
He and Tang Keqin now have a tacit understanding. If the Seya Detachment does not compete with him, the Sakamoto Detachment will naturally be the dish in his bowl.
This made Guan Yudong, who was originally angry, very dissatisfied, but who made his 52nd Army's offensive ability not as good as the New 38th Brigade?
The 2nd Division of the 52nd Army was used in the Segu Detachment. The north of Ichi County was only the 25th Division, and its strength was slightly weak, so it could only cooperate with Luo Yufeng to attack Ichi County.
The troops besieged Yi County also included Chi Fengchen's 31st Division and Huang Daoli's 27th Division.
The regiment was not the last line of defense. Behind the regiment, Luo Yufeng drew five battalions from other regiments and was ambushing behind.
"The Japanese are here, hurry up, report to the regiment commander!" The platoon leader who was observing in front of the position kicked the communications soldier with a light kick and ordered.
"Yes!" The communication soldier quickly reached out and squashed his face, lowered his head, bent down, and ran along the winding trench quickly towards the regiment command post not far behind.
"Captain, the Japanese are coming up, silent."
"Oh, this is coming." Shi Wenlong, the commander of the group, sneered, revealing a row of white teeth, which made people feel scary.
"Tell the first battalion commander, resist for a little while, let go of the front and see how the Japanese react."
"yes!"
The battle started a few minutes later, and gunfire sounded loudly on the position in an instant. The Japanese vanguards were composed of grassroots officers above the sergeant. They had very strong combat power. This was a commando.
As soon as they fought, the first battalion commander of the regiment immediately noticed that this group of Japanese soldiers with only one team was different from the Japanese soldiers who were facing during the day.
This is the elite of the Japanese, with very accurate marksmanship and very fierce fighting qualities.
Fortunately, I had an order and had to resist for a while and let them go, but even so, the first battalion lost more than twenty people in this way.
Shun Sakamoto is not stupid either. If you want to break through, how can you not make any noise? It is inevitable to hit the west. The shooting in the direction of Nishi Castle is even more lively, and there are mountain cannons to help.
In the direction of Xicheng, fires were everywhere, explosions were heard one after another, and the sound of Japanese troops rushing bravely resounded throughout the night sky.
In comparison, the gunfire in the northeast is much weaker.
"Brother Luo, the Japanese army is heading west. Is Shun Sakamoto going to meet with Seya Kita?" Chi Fengchen called. The west of Ishi Prefecture is his defense area, and the Japanese army is now fighting with his troops.
"Is there any movement over Seya Kei?"
"The 52nd Army reported that Setani Kishi sent an army to launch a sneak attack on his position, and it seemed that he was intending to respond to Shun Sakamoto." Chi Fengjin said.
"Teacher Chi, don't believe it. The Japanese are cunning. They know better than anyone else. Even if the two troops meet, they will still be unable to avoid the end of collapse. Now Seya Kiyo is trapped in several villages and there are no solid field fortifications. If he still wants to stick to it, he should want Sakamoto Shun from Ishi Prefecture to get closer. Now we occupy most of Ishi Prefecture. Do you think they still have hope?" Luo Yufeng said loudly.
"Yes, Brother Luo, you are right, how are you doing there?"
"I guess Shun Sakamoto should break through the trick of "speaking east and attacking the west," Luo Yufeng said with a smile.
"I understand, don't worry, I'll keep you well in the west and promise not to delay your affairs." Chi Fengchen also laughed and hung up the phone.
Lao Chi is still very good, at least he didn't compete for merit. I guess he knew the difference in strength. In addition, the new 38th Brigade was also good for the 31st Division, and the relationship between the two families is pretty good. Anyway, everyone has made contributions after the battle.
"The brigade, Commander Shi reported that the large Japanese troops had come out, with at least a thousand people." The communications staff report.
"Okay, Sakamoto Shun finally came out. Let's go!" Luo Yufeng's eyes lit up, he picked up the armed belt on the table and rushed out of the command post.
"Lao Luo, you..."
Qin Yankun looked at Luo Yufeng's back and sighed, "Why are they all so virtuous?"
Half an hour later, Sakamoto rushed to a dilapidated village with the remnants of defeat. There were no one in the village and he rushed all the way, with only a few pursuers.
Even if they choose the position of the junction, the Chinese will not react so slowly, right?
broken!
This is intentional by the Chinese!
In an instant, Shun Sakamoto felt cold all over and his face turned pale. The Chinese probably let them break out of the city, just to solve them in the wilderness outside.
"General, there is a mountain ahead!"
"map?"
"There is no way out. If you occupy this mountain immediately, there may be a glimmer of hope!" Sakamoto's eyes flashed with a ruthless light. At this time, only by occupying the favorable terrain can one gain a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, if they lose most of the heavy equipment on this plain, they will become the targets of the Chinese.
Fushan position.
"The Japanese, as you expected, they came straight to Fushan." Standing behind Luo Yufeng was Zhu Yaming, the commander of the Second Regiment, and said sincerely.
"Sakamoto Shun is an experienced old devil. Even if he doesn't notice it for a while, he should understand now. If he doesn't make a fool of himself, Fu Shan will definitely be the place he competes for." Luo Yufeng smiled slightly.
"The hiding god is a good idea. This old devil Sakamoto is going to be buried under Fu Shan this time!"
"Stop flattering. If this battle is done, your regiment will be the first to win. Don't say that I, the brigade commander, are unfair. All the opportunities are given to you." Luo Yufeng said.
"Yes, please don't worry, we will definitely take down Shun Sakamoto's head to see you!"
"Go!"
Strangely, in the second half of the night, a lot of dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the moon, which was like a millstone, showed half of its face as if it wanted to refuse.
The cold moonlight shines on the mountains and fields, reflecting a faint silver glow.
The sky and the earth suddenly lit up.
Driven by the commander, the tired and hungry Japanese army came to Fu Shan desperately. They thought they had escaped, but who knew that this was just the beginning.
Looking at the hundreds of Japanese troops suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, the second regiment commander Zhu Yaming waved his hand to give an order to attack!
The heavy machine gun suddenly fired!
Before the Japanese soldiers who rushed in front could figure out what was going on, they were beaten like a gourd rolling down the hillside.
There is an ambush!
Shun Sakamoto screamed in his heart. Everything was under the Chinese's calculations. The breakthrough he carefully arranged was simply a death sentence.
Maybe if you stay in the city and hold on, you will still have a little hope, but now, there is no hope at all.
"Occurrence, offense..."
Shun Sakamoto knew that only by occupying this mountain, even if it was just a small mountain, could still struggle for a while, otherwise, he would have the fate of defeat.
He burned the corps flag and confidential documents and sent the last farewell telegram to Seishiro Sakagaki, the 5th Division headquarters. Shun Sakamoto ordered the radio station to be smashed and launched a decisive attack on Fu Shan!
The regiment and the 25th Division of the 52nd Army also surrounded the Sakamoto Detachment, which had "successfully broken through", surrounded the small village at the foot of Fushan.
Setani Kei also launched a breakthrough battle later. He was a little smarter than Shun Sakamoto and knew that going west and east was a dead end. It would be better to break north and break north and rush into the mountains.
The instinct of survival aroused the potential and fierceness of the trapped remaining soldiers of the Japanese army. A brigade of the 85th Army, which was deployed in front, could not block the assault of the remaining soldiers led by Kei Seya.
About 500 Japanese troops broke out of the encirclement, and were in the mountains north of Zaozhuang when they were young.
The news of Seya Kiyo's breakthrough reached the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone. Li Delin was shocked. Under such heavy siege, a Japanese army broke out. This was incredible.
Tang Keqin was so careless that he didn't expect the Japanese army to break through head-on?
In fact, Tang Keqin felt that it was enough to arrange a brigade's troops in the north. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army, who were struggling to death, burst out with such powerful combat power in the end.
The brigade commander of the brigade was then beaten by Tang Keqin. Although he fought to the death and left most of the Japanese troops who broke through, he still let the Japanese troops go.
It is not known whether there is Kei Setani himself among the Japanese troops who broke through. If Kei Setani escapes, it will be a great regret even if the battle is won.
However, on Fu Shan's side, Sakamoto Shun was intercepted by the New 38th Brigade, and the surrounding was not airtight. It was unlikely that "Setani Kei" would occur.
After several hours of fierce battle, before dawn, Shun Sakamoto and his command were surrounded in an abandoned village temple, with less than fifty or sixty Japanese troops still making the final dying struggle.
Cai Jin, the commander of the first battalion of the Second Regiment, led his men to attack twice, but both were knocked out.
"These Japanese are all low-level officers, with strong combat power and heavy casualties in strong attacks. The regiment commander should use cannons!" Cai Jin felt sorry for the casualties of his subordinates, and begged the regiment commander Zhu Yaming on the phone.
"Captain Cai, what I want is to capture Sakamoto Shun alive. Have you heard that it is to capture Sakamoto. You have to use a cannon. What if Sakamoto Shun is killed?"
"Captain, there is no immortality in this war. Besides, we don't even know where Sakamoto Shun is..."
"I don't care!"
"Zhu Yaming, is the lives of our officers and soldiers important, or is the lives of an old Japanese important?" Luo Yufeng said with a gloomy face after hearing the phone call between Zhu Yaming and the first battalion commander Cai Jin.
"It's a great achievement to capture Shun Sakamoto alive..."
"Die and alive, what's the difference? Let me tell you, Zhu Yaming, if you don't treat the lives of soldiers as a joke, I will remove you first!" Luo Yufeng said angrily.
"Yes, the Ministry of Justice understands, use cannons, use cannons!" Zhu Yaming was frightened and said hurriedly.
