Chapter 1018: A Double Kill
For Huang Wanjin, who wanted to save face, this telegram came at a bad time.
He taunted without hesitation: "Those people in the theater headquarters only know how to drink tea and chat, and missed the great opportunity to annihilate the devil's village division."
The chief of staff was eager to make a contribution, and he said loudly: "General! When a general is on the battlefield, he is not subject to orders. Our army is the first to meet the enemy, so we should set a good example and fight the devils."
Huang Wanjin nodded and said, "Okay! You organize the troops to charge."
"Yes!"
The chief of staff accepted the order in a decisive manner.
He organized a regiment and launched a charge towards Shamao Mountain.
Lan Cheng was leading the shadow spy to retreat from behind the enemy lines. He happened to pass by and saw this, so he hurriedly advised:
"Sir! The Japanese troops are hiding in Shamao Mountain, and there are ambushes near the Agate River. Don't charge."
The 44th Army Chief of Staff saw that many of them were snipers and every three of them had a radio. He couldn't help but believe it and said in astonishment, "Is there really an ambush?"
Huang Wanjin rushed forward, pointed at Lan Cheng and shouted, "Who the hell are you? How dare you disrupt the morale of my army?"
Lan Cheng explained: "Sir! We are the reconnaissance company of the 34th Army. We have just returned from reconnaissance behind enemy lines. The main force of the Japanese has not gone far. There are ambushes on the mountain. You'd better not attack."
Huang Wanjin had a prejudice against the 34th Army and angrily shouted: "The 34th Army, get out of here immediately, don't delay this army commander from showing his military command ability, annihilate the Guizi Village Division and avenge the dead brothers."
When Lan Cheng saw his attitude, he quickly led his brothers to stay away from him, and went to ambush on the high ground northwest of Shamao Mountain, ready to snipe the Japanese commander at any time.
At this time, the 44st Regiment of the 1th Army raised its flag and bravely launched a charge towards Shamao Mountain.
This was a combat operation in defiance of military orders, and countless eyes were watching them.
Some people sighed with emotion, some shook their heads, some were envious, and some just watched and watched.
Nowadays, those who fight the Japanese are all heroes and are worthy of respect.
The 44st Regiment of the 1th Army risked their lives to rush towards Shamao Mountain, and everyone thought it would be a bloody battle.
But the Japanese soldiers guarding the mountain pulled down the military and divisional flags and fled with the flags in their hands.
The commander of the 1st Regiment shouted excitedly: "Report to the commander! We have repelled the Japanese and captured Shamao Mountain."
Huang Wanjin laughed loudly and said, "Great! This army commander will now ask for credit and reward from the war zone. Tell me! How many devils did you kill?"
The commander of the 1st Regiment smiled bitterly and said, "The Japs escaped too quickly. We didn't kill any of them."
Huang Wanjin said angrily: "How can you claim credit when you didn't kill even one devil? So many friendly troops are watching us. You should chase them immediately and kill hundreds of devils."
"Yes!"
The commander of the 1st Regiment hurriedly accepted the order.
Huang Wanjin was still worried and told the Chief of Staff:
"Chief of Staff! You lead the 2nd Regiment to supervise the battle from behind. If necessary, charge forward and make sure to show the might of our 44th Army."
"understand!"
The chief of staff accepted the order in a decisive manner.
He led the 2nd Regiment and followed the 1st Regiment, rushing across Shamao Mountain and chasing the fleeing Japanese not far away.
Huang Wanjin walked to the back where the commanders of the various troops were gathered, pointed at his own troops and said:
"Everyone! My Huang Wanjin's 44th Army is an iron-clad anti-Japanese army that killed and forced the Japanese to flee. To be honest, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to gain military merit. Haha!"
This is showing off, and the commanders of various troops can't help but feel mixed emotions.
Someone said angrily: "Where did the theater command get the information? It said the Japanese had an ambush?"
Huang Wanjin framed him, "Need I say that? It was the guys from the 34th Army who told the theater command. Just now, a little jerk from the 34th Army told me that the Japanese army hadn't gone far. That was complete nonsense."
"Boom! Boom!"
Countless heavy artillery shells fell on the heads of his 1st and 2nd Regiments.
The 1st and 2nd Regiments immediately realized that they had been tricked and turned around and ran back to Shamao Mountain.
However, countless Japanese soldiers suddenly jumped out of the pits on Shamao Mountain and fired at them fiercely.
To the west, a large number of elite Japanese troops also pressed towards the 44st and 1nd Regiments of the 2th Army.
As a result, the two regiments were surrounded by the Japanese.
The commander of the 3rd Regiment ran to Huang Wanjin and loudly requested, "Commander-in-Chief! The 3rd Regiment requests an order to attack and break open a gap in the enemy's position on Shamao Mountain to support the 1st and 2nd Regiments in breaking out."
Huang Wanjin scolded: "What's the point of calling for help? There is a whole division of Japanese soldiers on Shamao Mountain. You will die if you go over there."
The commander of the 3rd Regiment said hurriedly: "Not a division, at most a regiment."
Huang Wanjin shook his head and said, "No! If your 3rd Regiment is also wiped out, I will be left alone."
At this time, some troops bravely rushed to Shamao Mountain to rescue the two encircled regiments of the 44th Army.
On Shamao Mountain, there were loud gunshots and shouts of killing.
Huang Wanjin watched calmly and did not allow the 3rd Regiment to attack.
A military commander taunted him, "General Huang! Aren't you going to rescue your troops?"
Huang Wanjin also wanted to save face, so he said unhappily:
"Who said we won't go to rescue? 3rd Regiment! Attack."
"Yes!"
3. The regiment commander accepted the order in a decisive manner.
The small Shamao Mountain is where the Yangtze River makes a 90-degree right angle.
After the fierce battle between the 34th Division and the Japanese troops, the two sides fought again.
But this time the Japanese had set up a plan and Huang Wanjin took the initiative to join in.
In addition to a large number of army, air force and naval forces, all of the Japanese troops participated in the war.
A cave in Shamao Mountain, the command post of the Guizi Village Division.
Murakami said excitedly: "Yoshi! This general used himself as bait to help the imperial army kill a large number of the main forces of the Fifth War Zone of China. I have no regrets in my death."
The Japanese brigade commander Nokura invited, "Your Excellency the division commander! The underground pit dug by the Chinese 34th Army is too deep. Let's go up to get some fresh air and watch the Empire's navy, army and air force annihilate the Chinese army."
Murakami nodded and said, "Let's go! Now I understand why we were unable to defeat the 34th Chinese Army last time. It turns out that they almost hollowed out this mountain."
Brigade Commander Nokura nodded and said, "Yes! If we hadn't dug the fortifications, we would never have discovered the underground fortifications of the Chinese 34th Army."
As the two were talking, they had already reached the top of Shamao Mountain.
The sky was filled with continuous gunfire and shouts of killing, it was like hell on earth.
The poor 44st and 1nd Regiments of the 2th Army were trapped in the encirclement. They were bombed to pieces by the enemy's planes, artillery and warships before they could even get close to Shamao Mountain.
Those troops who wanted to break through the Japanese defense line at Shamao Mountain and support the 1st and 2nd Regiments in breaking out were also attacked by Japanese planes, artillery and warships.
Needless to say, everyone understood that the intelligence provided by the war zone was absolutely true.
Murakami Qizuo laughed loudly and said, "Chinese army! You are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of the imperial army. Haha!"
"Bang!"
A sniper bullet came and hit him in the temple.
Murakami fell straight down with his eyes wide open.
At the same time, a sniper bullet also shot into the back of the head of the Japanese brigade commander Nokura.
Many people on both sides of the enemy saw this scene and looked in the direction where the sniper bullet came from.
In the forest not far away, Wei Feng and Lan Cheng led the shadow spies and moved away like rabbits.
Lan Cheng ran and said, "Brother Wei! We accidentally got a double kill."
Wei Feng nodded and said, "Yes! These two devils killed countless of our brothers, and today we finally got our revenge."
