"What? Did you find the headquarters of the 22nd Brigade of the Japanese?"
Soon, the lieutenant colonel found the 36th Division Command and reported the news to Song Xilian.
Song Xilian was also very surprised after hearing this.
"Yes, Commander Song.
Now, our chief of staff is leading 22 people to hold back the headquarters of the Japanese nd Brigade.
I hope you can send troops to support us and don’t let the Japanese brigade commander escape.”
The lieutenant colonel said anxiously.
But at this time, Song Xilian hesitated.
It was only because, at this time, the two regiments in front of them had finally defeated the Japanese Yamaguchi Regiment.
The passage to Purple Mountain was opened.
Logically speaking, the most important thing the 36th Division should do at this time is to reach Purple Mountain as soon as possible.
After all, behind them, there were two supporting forces from the Japanese 18th and 6th Divisions, charging towards them.
The 211th Regiment, which was in charge of the blocking, was almost unable to hold on.
What if they were delayed in reaching Purple Mountain because of their attack on the headquarters of the Japanese 22nd Brigade?
They were caught up again by two other Japanese reinforcements from behind.
Then the gain outweighs the loss.
Song Xilian also wanted to seek revenge on the commander of the Japanese 22nd Brigade, but compared to killing a Japanese brigade commander.
The thirty-six missions of supporting Zijin Mountain are the most important.
So, Song Xilian shook his head and said, “Sorry, our division’s mission is to climb up Purple Mountain as soon as possible.
Replace guard with your teaching corps.
You have also heard that the Japanese 16th Division is now attacking your main position on Purple Mountain.
I'm afraid the situation on Zijin Mountain is even more critical.
We must go up the mountain immediately. Defending Purple Mountain is more important than anything else.
Therefore, I cannot send the main force to support your chief of staff.
I can only give you one battalion, and you take it to meet your chief of staff.
Let him withdraw to Zijin Mountain as soon as possible.
There is no need to put yourself in such a big risk just to kill a brigade commander of the Japanese."
After hearing this, the lieutenant colonel of the teaching corps wanted to say something but held back.
Because he knew that Song Xilian was right.
Now, their captain is at the main position of Zijin Mountain, and the situation is probably very critical.
The latter said that Song Xilian was willing to give him a battalion of soldiers.
Letting him take them to pick up Crazy Qiu is already a very kind thing to do.
"Yes, what Commander Song said makes sense.
I will listen to Master Song."
Immediately, the lieutenant colonel took a battalion of the 36th Division and rushed to support Crazy Qiu.
The 36th Division had already passed through the blocking position of the Japanese Yamaguchi Regiment.
Together with a regiment of the 1st Militia Division that came down the mountain, they headed to Purple Mountain.
Crazy Qiu led 22 people to attack the headquarters of the Japanese nd Brigade.
In the end, due to insufficient manpower, they were blocked outside the temple by more than 2,000 Japanese baggage soldiers.
Half a day later, the lieutenant colonel came back with a battalion.
"Damn it, I asked you to go to the 36th Division to mobilize troops.
Why did you bring back so few people? "
Crazy Qiu was also very dissatisfied when he looked at the lieutenant colonel and the two hundred people he brought back.
The battalion of the 36th Division lost more than half of its men in the battle, and now only had about 200 people left.
"Chief of Staff, stop fighting.
The 36th Division has already gone up the mountain.
The Japanese 16th Division is attacking Purple Mountain fiercely. The captain and his men may not be able to hold out on the mountain."
The lieutenant colonel persuaded Crazy Qiu.
"Damn it, forget about that."
Crazy Qiu's face changed, and he held back the words he wanted to curse Song Xilian.
"withdraw!"
Then, Crazy Qiu looked unwillingly at the dilapidated temple where the old devil, the commander of the 22nd Brigade of the devil, was.
Still retreated unwillingly.
At this time, the main force of the 36th Division had already climbed up Purple Mountain.
At the same time, the battle on Zijin Mountain had already entered a white-hot stage.
While the 36th Division was fighting the Japanese Yamaguchi Regiment, the battle on Zijin Mountain was also quite fierce.
The Japanese 16th Division, with the fire support of the Japanese heavy artillery regiment and two mountain artillery regiments.
The most fierce attack was launched on Purple Mountain.
When the 36th Division went up the mountain, the Japanese had already attacked the main position of Zijin Mountain three times.
But they were all taught to organize a commando team and drive the Japanese back.
"No more bullets, hurry up!
Go quickly..."
Boom!
At the main position of Zijin Mountain, at a Maxim heavy machine gun firing point, the machine gunner had run out of bullets.
Yelled at the ammunition carrier.
As a result, before he could finish his words, he was hit by the Japanese grenade launcher.
The machine gun firing point was blown up.
"Kill him!"
Teams of ferocious Japanese soldiers once again rushed to the main position of Zijin Mountain.
"Bazooka, kill those Japanese grenade throwers for me."
On the battlefield, an officer from the teaching corps shouted.
But unfortunately, no bazooka operator responded to him.
The rocket launcher operators on the position had either been killed or had run out of rockets.
More and more Japanese soldiers rushed to the Zijin Mountain position.
The main position of Zijin Mountain was about to be lost again.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, artillery fire was heard behind the position, and anti-aircraft guns fired one after another at the charging Japanese.
Boom boom boom!
Then, some of the anti-aircraft shells fired over exploded among the Japanese crowd.
The flying shrapnel directly pierced the Japanese soldiers into hedgehogs.
Some anti-aircraft shells even hit the Japanese soldiers directly, breaking them into countless pieces.
Pieces here and there.
The scene was extremely bloody and cruel.
Many veterans of the teaching corps felt extremely uncomfortable after seeing this scene.
Nausea occurs.
Not to mention the soldiers of the 1st Militia Division, they had never seen such a situation before and many of them vomited.
"Go to hell, little devils."
And at the back, the shooters of the two anti-aircraft guns that were firing horizontally were extremely excited at this moment.
Firing wildly.
These two horizontally placed anti-aircraft guns directly made up for the difficulties faced by the Kuomintang army in the main position, such as excessive losses in heavy firepower and insufficient firepower.
Kill all the first wave of Japanese soldiers rushing to the main position.
These Japanese soldiers who were rushing in the front were also hit by anti-aircraft artillery fire for the first time.
The severity of the tragedy was unbearable no matter how arrogant the Japanese were or how strong their fighting will was.
When I saw my companions in front of me being shot into pieces by anti-aircraft guns.
I couldn't hold it in any longer.
He turned around and ran away, his eyes full of fear.
At this moment, these Japanese soldiers had only one thought in their minds.
That is, whoever wants to attack can attack, I will not charge in.
If they rush forward again, they will end up like those Japanese soldiers who died tragically before them, scattered all over the place.
The Japanese attack was repelled again.
The two anti-aircraft guns that were fired horizontally performed a great service.
However, they were later destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire because they had no time to move.
However, it was because they helped the infantry defending the main position that they repelled the Japanese attack.
Delayed the time.
Only because the 36th Division arrived with its troops, the main position of Zijin Mountain was not lost.
