Chapter 1278 Locked!(2/2)
Faced with the increasing large-scale sweep of the Japanese army, their strategy is no longer just about movement and defense, but more about head-on strikes.
This not only brings confidence from continuous victory, but also because they have a trustworthy and powerful comrade-in-arms.
Thanks to Sakai Naoji's decisiveness, the main force was able to escape from the sky, but the "wrist" they broke was completely thrown into the vast mountains.
The 132 Infantry Regiment, which was soaring all the way, finally got to know the firepower points hidden on the cliffs, and most of them block the mountain roads. Let’s not take the mountain roads and go wild roads!
If you can't cross mountains and ridges with heavy weapons, then I'll just wear light clothes! If the Chinese can climb mountains, we can also climb!
In order to survive, the "smart" Japanese army almost abandoned all heavy weapons, and the pack horses were also slaughtered as alternative food, drilled into the rocky mountains, and never walked the mountain roads filled with death again.
All the heavy weapons considered to be life were abandoned, let alone those seriously injured soldiers who needed to be carried by stretchers? After the infantry colonel made that difficult decision, all the seriously injured soldiers were asked to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
In the desperate and begging eyes of the severely wounded Japanese soldiers, the Japanese infantry, who were already in desperate situations, opened a dark page of their lives with their rifles in their hands.
But the Japanese army never expected that this was just the darkest beginning of their lives, not the end.
The dangers of Taihang Mountain are far beyond their imagination!
Even the most experienced hunters in this stone mountain are unwilling to get involved in it for a long time.
It is not because there are some beasts such as leopards and jackals inside, but because there are so many cliffs that even monkeys are afraid of them and accidentally fall into the abyss of a hundred meters.
Because the terrain is too complex and difficult, even the security camp did not send anyone to get involved.
The 132 Infantry Regiment, which was forced to be impatient, chose to enter it. He looked at Lao Hei, who disappeared behind the cliff with a telescope and could only say awesome to them!
After this battle, only 2,600 soldiers of the 3,000 security camp officers and soldiers remained. In addition to leaving a few people to continue to station in the fortifications to prevent the Japanese army from making a comeback, 1,000 of the remaining 2,000 people returned to the surrounding area of Dakouzi Cave, and the other 1,000 were distributed in the mountains near the mountain road. It was a shame to strictly monitor the Japanese army entering the mountains to prevent them from going around the base.
Lei Xiong, who returned victoriously, even gave an order, "Lock them! Let them eat stones in the stone mountain to celebrate the New Year!"
Until the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was declared over on the 24th, the tragic remnants of this tragic Japanese army were still locked firmly in the stone mountain within 20 miles.
Japan Airlines has also made efforts to airdrop food and medicine for it, but Lei Xiong deployed all anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns that can be pulled out in the four-line regiment in the area.
The Japanese fighter planes did not dare to fly too low, so they could only leave their lives to throw them away. The airdrop supplies were probably picked up by the officers and militias of the Four-Road Regiment wandering outside the area.
The canned beef tastes very good and has added a lot of energy to the Chinese soldiers in the cold wind.
The Japanese army trapped in the mountains was in trouble. The 1,500 people who entered the mountains reduced their number to less than a thousand people in half a month, and hundreds of people died of cold, sickness and starvation.
However, the Four Army Corps used nearly a thousand people to block it until the end of the New Year. It was March 19, 1939. Nearly 80 days had passed since the remnants of the Japanese army entered the mountains.
Only God knows how they survived more than 370 people without supplies.
