I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 688: The road to Linxiang Mountain is not easy to travel

So, under the leadership of Division Commander Dao Gu, they all entered Linxiang Mountain with light equipment.

The mountain road was not easy to walk on in winter, and their feet were slippery.

The soldiers of the Sixth Division also moved forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The gunfire from behind has stopped. I guess the escort regiment has been destroyed. It seems that the road to Linxiang Mountain is not easy to travel.

Fortunately, the national army behind them did not catch up, otherwise they would have been entangled by them and it would have been too late for them to escape.

After several hours of travel, they finally saw the light at the pass of Linxiang Mountain.

In fact, there is another road that can also reach the ferry crossing of Liuyang River.

That is to go around Linxiang Mountain, which is also the route they took when they came.

At that time, the commander of the Daogu Division was afraid that the Kuomintang army had set an ambush in the mountains.

He did not dare to go through Linxiang Mountain, but instead walked for two more hours.

The retreat route he arranged also took advantage of the Kuomintang army's habitual thinking.

If he thought they would retreat by the old route and ambush him along the mountain, he would be greatly disappointed.

This time, Daogu really guessed it right. Dongfang Shang really set up an ambush along the foot of Linxiang Mountain.

When he learned that Dao Gu's Sixth Division had begun to cross Linxiang Mountain.

He immediately ordered a main brigade to cross the mountains and ambush the Sixth Division.

Dongfang Shang personally led his guard brigade and the troops of the second brigade.

Quickly detour to the exit of Linxiang Mountain and go there to block the Sixth Division of Daogu.

The two brigades were also very fierce. They climbed over several ridges and finally saw the Japanese below.

The commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the Militia Division became extremely anxious when he saw that the vanguard of the Japanese invaders had already left the mountain pass.

They were on the mountain, estimated to be about four or five hundred meters away from the valley below.

He ordered the entire regiment's bulletproof steel plates to be concentrated, and personally led the vanguard company, sat on the curved steel plates and slid down the hillside.

The Type 67-2 heavy machine guns and mortars on the hillside have been lined up.

All heavy weapons immediately opened fire to cover their leader's speed skating attack.

It’s a pity that there are many trees on the mountain, and the effect is not very good under the attack of machine guns and mortars.

Fortunately, the Japanese were only concerned about escaping, and they also knew that if they were entangled by the National Army, it would be likely that only a few people would be able to escape.

Now, taking advantage of the disadvantageous attack of the National Army, they simply separated a large battalion of troops to intercept them.

The remaining Japanese soldiers, regardless of the consequences, broke through towards the mountain pass.

When the team leader Cheng of the first group was sliding to about 200 meters from the bottom of the valley.

He finally found a small tree and bumped into it.

Captain Cheng, who had finally stopped, immediately organized the soldiers of the vanguard company.

Leading them, using the Type 41 assault rifle and the squad machine gun, they began shooting at the Japanese below.

Now these are the only two weapons that work well. Grenade can’t be thrown that far.

There are many trees on the mountain, and even if a grenade is thrown out, it may be bounced back by branches and easily injure one's own people.

As for fighting with the Japs with bayonets, forget it. We have plenty of bullets, nearly two hundred rounds.

Only a fool would use an assault rifle to fight the Japanese with bayonets, wouldn't it be better to kill them with every shot?

Captain Cheng: "Bazooka, where are the rocket launchers? Hurry up and use the rocket launcher to blow up the firing range for me."

He saw that because of the poor shooting range on his side, they could not kill a few Japanese soldiers even if they concentrated their fire.

Moreover, the Japanese brigade responsible for providing cover had very accurate shooting skills, and several soldiers had already been sacrificed.

So their regiment had lost the possibility of continuing to charge downwards.

Besides, if he used a company to attack an enemy division.

After the war, if Dongfang Shang knew about this, he would slap him to death.

Fortunately, after two minutes, the main force of their regiment arrived in place.

Dozens of rocket launchers were fired at the mountain road below.

"Boom boom boom..."

With the explosion of a large number of rockets, many trees on the hillside below were immediately destroyed.

Their group's vision suddenly became clear.

A firing range of about two hundred meters was cleared by rockets.

The Japanese soldiers wearing yellow-green military uniforms were passing quickly on the mountain road below.

"Beat him to death!"

At the command of Captain Cheng, countless automatic weapons of the First Regiment began firing at the Japanese devils below.

This sudden attack completely stunned the Japanese soldiers in the mountain road.

In a short while, a death passage was formed on the mountain road within the two hundred meters.

The Japanese saw that it was useless to continue fighting.

As long as there are bullets left in the Kuomintang’s guns, no matter how many of them there are, they will not be enough to die.

A squadron of Japanese soldiers immediately stood up and prepared for a suicide charge.

But the soldier who rushed the farthest didn't run more than 20 meters.

He was riddled with bullet holes from a group of soldiers' assault rifles.

Just like that, a squadron of Japanese soldiers died.

Before Division Commander Inaya could even leave the valley, he was blocked by a dense barrage of bullets.

"Bakayalu, you bunch of idiots, don't you even know how to give orders?

Order the soldiers to pile up the bodies of all the fallen soldiers as shelter.

Then send a battalion to follow the wall of corpses to block the Nationalist troops on the mountain and cover the main force of the division to break out. "

Under the order of Division Commander Inaya, many Japanese soldiers began to build a wall of corpses in the hail of bullets.

These little devils were not only cruel to the enemy, but also to themselves.

Some of them were already seriously injured and knew they had no way to escape.

He simply lay down on the corpses of his own people and served as a cover for the Japanese behind him.

By the time the corpses and trees were used to form a cover, only two squadrons were left of the one and a half battalions of Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers lay down on the bunker and began to counterattack against the First Regiment of the Militia Division on the hillside.

Their accurate shooting caused the soldiers of the First Regiment to suffer a small loss.

"Rocket bomber, bomb the Japanese again and destroy their bunkers."

"Dong dong dong..."

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The Japanese and the soldiers of the First Regiment fired grenade launchers and rockets at the same time.

The militia division's rockets directly blew away the bunkers that the Japanese had built with great difficulty.

However, the grenades fired by the Japanese grenade launchers were not special grenades.

Rather, it was the only smoke bomb left in their pockets, which had no lethality.

It was the explosion of this large smoke bomb that allowed Division Commander Inaya to escape disaster temporarily.

Now, there was a thick cloud of smoke in front of the captain and his men, and they could not see anything.

The regiment commander had no choice but to give orders to the soldiers in the first row.

Let them throw grenades forward, hoping to clear the smoke as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to continue blind firing to prevent the Japanese from rushing up the mountain and launching a surprise attack.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Division Commander Inaya, under the cover of a group of staff officers and guards, finally rushed through the death passage.

Rice also paid a heavy price for this, with a military cap on one ear.

While covering the wound on his ear with a first aid kit, he quickly fled towards the valley entrance.

In Daogu's opinion, whether the troops behind can escape or not is up to fate.

When the smoke in the forest dissipated, the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain became even more desperate.

Because the Japanese had already seen that there were countless National Army soldiers showing their heads on the top of the hill, which meant that the main force of the First Brigade had arrived.
