Chapter 422: A Strange Old Rival


With the unremitting efforts of the "equipment recovery team" and Deng Junlin's deliberate release of the water, the weapons and equipment for the use of the 40 infantry were finally collected, which was different from the performance of the brave assault when it was obtained.

Fastest updates These Japanese soldiers were like facing a great enemy when they withdrew, for no other reason, none of the weapons that were picked up were not stained with blood and had minced meat, and these experienced Japanese soldiers had only one thing in mind, hurry back to the position and send these equipment down.

This temporary equipment recovery team was immediately disbanded after returning to the position, and the guns collected were scattered together.

"Captain, a total of forty rifles and two grenadiers" The adjutant of the 1st Brigade endured the smell and reported the results of the seizure to Takeda Masayuki.

For Takeda Masayuki, as long as these equipment can be used and can be fought, blood and odor are the soldier's business.

Looking at the process of retrieving equipment, he was also curious that the equipment recovery team was not attacked by fire, but none of this was important now, and all Takeda had in mind was to attack and capture this position held by a strong enemy.

These bloody rifles gave Takeda enough confidence and courage.

"Okay, distribute the weapons, the whole team is ready to attack" When recovering the equipment, the Takeda Brigade once again received a telegram urging the attack, and after this telegram, Takeda and his men, who had been planning for a long time, could no longer hold back, and the morale and strength of the 1st Brigade of the 21st Wing recovered again after a failed attack, and everyone thought about capturing the front position after agitation.

This time, the 1st Brigade summed up the lessons of the previous attack, and its combat effectiveness was restored after the reorganization, and in the rear of the 1st Brigade, it had reinforcements and air raids to cheer it up.

"All those who don't have guns, come and get their weapons."

More than 40 unarmed baggage soldiers walked to the pile of weapons and got the equipment that belonged to them, these Japanese baggage soldiers, on weekdays are holding bayonets of 38 rifles, for the first time they have their own rifles, most of them are very happy, after getting their hands to fiddle around, the fly in the ointment is still the minced meat and blood on the guns, which seems to have touched a shadow in advance for the operation of these Japanese baggage soldiers.

After receiving their weapons, the baggage soldiers were supplemented to the two existing infantry squadrons of the First Brigade, the first brigade began to enter the attack preparation posture from Takeda, two infantry squadrons for the main attack, a heavy machine gun squadron, and an infantry artillery squadron, Takeda put all these combat units on it, in addition to these attack troops, the remaining more than a dozen combat soldiers and the wounded in baggage vehicles that were not incorporated into the combat squadron.

The First Brigade, which was preparing to launch another assault, hid in the makeshift trenches it had constructed, waiting for the final signal air attack before the attack.

During the recuperation period, Takeda had been using the radio to contact the reinforcements from the rear, the reinforcements led by the commander of the 21st Wing, Miki, and the Japanese army in order to reinforce the operation in the direction of Kunlun Pass, specially coordinated air support, and the fierce attack of the Kunlun Pass squadron had made the Japanese troops garrisoned by Kunlun Guang extremely unbearable.

This batch of planes reinforcing Kunlun Pass, Nanbin Highway is their only way, so they came to cover the reinforcements on the road, and before providing air reinforcements for Kunlun Pass at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, they helped Takeda's first brigade drop a few bombs and clear the attack target.

The location and characteristics of the target had already been transferred to the reinforcements through Takeda and the 21st Wing, and Takeda and his 1st Group only had to wait for air support to launch a second onslaught.

The officers and men of Takeda and his brigade did not know that the position was the one they were familiar with before, and the opponent was no longer the old opponent with whom they were slowly familiar.

The position in the village, Deng Junlin's headquarters had already been deployed, and the village and the preset position next to it were defended by a main battalion under Deng Junlin, and the troops directly under the regiment were simply arranged in the rear of this main battalion.

Deng Junlin did not deploy all the troops because of the battle plan agreed with Zhang Wei, and under the principle of not fighting to the death with the Japanese army, there was no need to bring out the old foundation and use all the combat strength.

Deng Junlin's defense was heavy on the outside and light on the inside, and the defensive positions were tightly sealed, and all the troops were released, but there were not many reserves, and the troops directly under the regimental headquarters did not do a good job of the usual defensive battles, and only the mortar company was deployed.

The rest of the regiment's direct subordinate troops, such as the baggage company, the special service platoon, and the communications organs, were all catted in the concealment and trenches left behind by the teaching brigade, and the baggage company's wagons did not even unload the ammunition boxes and twine used for binding, and the ammunition on hand of the defending troops, except for the ones carried by the soldiers, did not receive a single round of supplies from the baggage company, and they were not ready to fight to the death with the Japanese army at all.

In order to complete the cooperation with Zhang Wei, Deng Junlin had to use nearly 1,000 of his subordinates and the Japanese army to make a false shot.

"Tuanza, after the inspection, the brothers have all entered the position, according to the battalion commander Zhang's point to deploy defense, their position is well dug, there are hidden parts, air-raid shelters, and communication ditches."

The battalion commander under Deng Junlin reported the deployment to Deng Junlin, who was looking at the map, and Deng Junlin's troops had only one complete infantry battalion, and the battalion commander naturally became the officer in charge of the deployment under Deng Junlin.

Before leaving, Zhang Wei had already informed Deng Junlin of the situation of the fortifications, the heavy machine gun positions, the deployment of troops in various parts of the front line, and the situation of the fortifications, which were roughly the same as those of the teaching brigade.

"How is the regimental headquarters" Deng Junlin stared at the rough map and asked without raising his head.

"The brothers of the regimental headquarters and the regimental direct team have all entered the trenches and can retreat at any time."

The soldiers of the 65th Regiment held their guns and nervously guarded the forward positions in the positions where fierce battles had taken place.

The prepared sides remained silent and silent, waiting for the first shot.

The "buzzing" quiet confrontation and waiting lasted for 20 minutes, and there was a roar in the sky above the Nanbin Highway, and the Japanese aircraft group reinforcing Kunlun Pass flew to this section of the road, and before the plane took off, all the flight personnel were told that before the bombing of Kunlun Pass, there was still the task of bombing the position on Nanbin Road.

The pilot received the direction reported from the Takeda Brigade, the target area of the group had arrived, and within a minute, the speed was reduced, pulled down, and a huge engine roar was released, and the steel fuselage and the exposed aviation machine gun tower were completely exposed to the eyes of the Chinese and Japanese soldiers on the ground.

It was a very short time from the sound of the "air raid" plane to the appearance of the plane, and the officers and observation posts of the 65th Regiment fired warning guns in horror before the bombing:
