I really came here to fight against Japan

The sound of gunfire from the grassland lasted less than three minutes from the beginning to the end.

Whether they planned it or not, for their search company, killing a squad of Japanese soldiers was a piece of cake.

As for the truck that just escaped, there were only two people on it.

It doesn’t matter. Just let them pass the message to the Japanese in Baotou.

As the weather gets warmer, someone has to collect the bodies of the Japanese devils, which is also to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic.

Because the gunshots lasted for too short a time, the Japanese soldiers from the 77th Division in the Wild Wolf Valley were completely unaware of it.

As they were still packing up the camp, gunfire started again in the woods.

"Bakayalu, what's going on outside? Who's firing guns?"

Inoue had just jumped up from the bed when he was knocked to the ground by the guards who rushed in from outside the tent.

Just as Inoue was about to curse, a shell landed right next to their tent.

With a loud "bang", the shell exploded outside the tent, directly overturning the tent of Division Commander Inoue.

This is the main force of the Sixth Guerrilla Division, which has finally surrounded us.

Ever since the prairie wolves arrived, they had been on defense in place and dared not move.

When the sky over the grassland was still dark, these prairie wolves, which had "fought" with the Japanese all night, quietly withdrew from the "battle".

Faced with such miracles of nature, many soldiers wanted to salute them.

The soldiers thought, everyone says our party is powerful, and today we see that it is true.

Didn’t we always talk about the united front in the past? Now even those grassland wolves can unite to fight the Japanese.

Qin Haichuan, who rushed over to coordinate and command the battle, also excitedly asked the commander of the Sixth Division.

"Master Pan, you have been in Mongolia for a long time, can you tell me if there really is an Eternal Heaven?

Otherwise, why would this prairie wolf only chase after the devils and bite them without even looking at us? "

Pan Dahe: "Commander Qin, how can I understand this? How about I ask my political commissar?"

Qin Haichuan, who was full of curiosity just now, immediately put away his curiosity when he heard that he had to go and talk to the political commissar.

They were already close to the Japanese before dawn.

Perhaps there were too many people entering the mountains, and they were eventually discovered by the Japanese sentinels.

A battle of encirclement and annihilation against the 77th Division broke out in the early morning of March.

Just like that, the 77th Division was almost overwhelmed.

They had just gone to bed and hadn't even had breakfast yet (the camp was so disgusting that they had no appetite).

Unexpectedly, the sound of gunfire and artillery fire rang out again.

Only this time, it was not them who were fighting the prairie wolves or the "rebels", but instead they were the ones who were beaten.

First it was the mortar, then the Type 92 infantry gun.

Even the Empire's Type 41, 75mm mountain gun shells were fired at us.

Everyone on the Japanese side was armed, but it was a pity that they had been fighting the prairie wolves all night.

There were only twenty or thirty bullets left in everyone's bullet box.

Fighting a man was much more stressful than fighting a wolf. I couldn't control my hands well and consumed too many bullets.

There was still a lot of ammunition for the light and heavy machine guns, but they had been fighting all night and forgot to replace the gun barrels because they were worn out.

He had just fired a volley of bullets blindly into the woods when the barrel of the machine gun exploded.

They could only endure the endless artillery shells, replace the barrels of light and heavy machine guns, and deliver bullets to the infantry.

The grenade throwers were now at a loss as the range of about 200 meters prevented them from even reaching the edge of the forest.

The 1st Brigade also had four Type 92 infantry guns, but unfortunately they were the same as their 90mm mortars.

They had just fired a few shells when they were blown up by the Kuomintang artillery in the woods.

They have determined that these attackers are from the national army.

The reason is very simple. The Eighth Route Army troops in Suiyuan could not possibly have so many artillery pieces.

Moreover, these national troops also have powerful artillery.

He had already seen the Kuomintang artillery through the telescope.

They were using a type of artillery that could be mounted on the soldiers' shoulders.

They can fire at a maximum range of about 500 meters and can aim accurately on the hillside.

He completely overturned his own Type 92 infantry gun position to the ground.

Inoue already understood that this should be a latest type of anti-tank weapon.

Damn it, why don’t our imperial soldiers have this kind of weapon?

Why can these Chinese soldiers in the woods have such advanced weapons? Why?

It must have been provided to them by the Chinese military by those Russians in the north.

Inoue has now realized that he is not at an advantage in firepower.

Even in terms of terrain, they are at a great disadvantage.

This is a feeling of being caught in a jar. Defending on the spot is a dead end.

The Kuomintang troops on the opposite side didn't even need infantry charges, their divisions would collapse just with artillery bombardment.

Break out. The 77th Division must break out immediately to have a chance of survival.

He had already seen that the Kuomintang's light and heavy machine guns were already positioned above their heads.

If you don't transfer in now, it will really be too late.

"The First Brigade's First Regiment will cover the rear and everyone will move toward the valley entrance.

Seize the high ground at the entrance of the valley, defend on the spot, and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Inoue also understood that they could not retreat on the grassland in broad daylight.

If that happened, they would be leaving their backs to the national army and would all become sitting ducks.

The only good defensive position was the meadow where the "rebels" broke through.

There was a blind spot there, and the nationalist troops in the Wild Wolf Valley could not see them.

As long as they hold the commanding heights on both sides, the National Army will not be able to wipe them out in a day or two.

Unfortunately, what Division Commander Inoue thought of was also thought of by Division Commander Pan Dahe.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers had completely ignored the bullets from the light and heavy machine guns coming from behind.

Under the desperate suppression of the First Brigade, they finally had the chance to run to the meadow.

It’s just that the troops that escaped were a bit too miserable. At most, they only had the strength of a regiment.

Most of the other main forces of the division, including the commander of the 1st Brigade.

They were completely trapped in the valley by the guerrilla division's intensive artillery fire.

Inoue shouted frantically: "Machine gunners, send the machine guns up from the ladder and seize the commanding heights on both sides.

The telegraph soldiers, hurry up and send a telegram to Baotou, asking them to send planes and cavalry to rescue us as soon as possible. "

The brigade leader at the edge of the pond said in pain, hugging his broken arm.

"Mr. Inoue, the Kuomintang army on the other side has a large number of snipers.

Our radio soldiers were either killed by the Nationalist Army or their radio stations were destroyed by them.

We have lost contact with the rear, and there will be no reinforcements today unless a reconnaissance plane happens to pass by."

There wouldn't be any reconnaissance planes passing by at this moment. Don't planes need fuel to fly into the sky?

Inoue: "Ikebe-kun, where is the walkie-talkie we were given? We can use it to contact the garrison in Baotou."

Brigade Commander Chibian: "It's too far from Baotou. Our walkie-talkies are useless."

Inoue was already at a loss at this time. The only way out was to occupy this place first and wait for an opportunity to break out after dark.

Unfortunately, the blocking troops sent by Pan Dahe were still one step ahead of them.
