Chapter 441 The bandits and the devils started fighting
At the foot of the mountain, the Japanese Jingguan Battalion also heard the movement on the mountain. Intensive gunfire rang out continuously. Lieutenant Colonel Jingguan judged that there must be a problem above.
"Baka! The Chinese are so evil!" Jing Guancheng cursed angrily and ordered his subordinates: "Kill the chickens and rescue Miss Fangzi!"
"Hi!" The two responses were very powerful, but unfortunately they didn't know that in the dense jungle in the distance, there were already several people watching the show with gusto.
After a few minutes of preparation time, the Japanese soldiers of Jingguan Battalion quickly attacked the top of the mountain and soon reached the gate of the mountain stronghold.
The Japanese soldiers didn't take the bandits seriously at all, nor did they care whether there was any danger nearby. A small team dared to charge towards the mountain stronghold.
Da da da!
Four or five heavy machine guns in the simple fortification opened fire instantly. Under the crazy bullet attack, nearly half of the Japanese squad fell.
The road leading up the mountain was not very wide, and no matter how strong the Japanese soldiers were, they could not dodge the bullets, so this wave gave the bandits a great advantage.
Of course, given the bravery of the Japs, these casualties could not scare them at all. They continued to charge forward while taking turns to cover each other. While charging, some bandits who were accidentally exposed also fell on the fortifications.
Some of the bandits in the mountain stronghold were originally from the Northeast Army, and later became bandits. They were not much less cruel than the Japanese. When they saw the Japanese rushing up, they took out grenades and threw them at them. In an instant, more than a dozen Japanese were knocked over.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers calmed down a little. The enemy was in a dominant position and had fortifications to rely on, so it was not so easy to attack.
The Japanese retreated, leaving behind several corpses on the way. The first wave of attack by the Jingguan Battalion ended in a hasty manner.
Inside the mountain stronghold, after more than an hour of purge, Liu Heiqi regained control of the entire village. Dozens of leaders including Chang Yungui were all killed by Qi Houzi. At this time, almost all the bandits were under the control of him and Yang Dashan.
Both of them are Liu Heiqi's die-hard supporters, and Liu Heiqi already has hidden strength, so it is normal for Nakajima Yoshiko to fail in the gutter.
"Report, Boss, the Japs have begun to attack the mountain. More than 20 of our brothers were killed or wounded in the first wave, but more than 30 died on the Japs' side."
This news actually made Liu Heiqi happy. After thinking for a while, he said, "Second Brother, these traitors in the village have been cleared out. Now you take a group of brothers to support them and don't let the Japanese rush in."
He had received news long ago that there were more than a thousand Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and after clearing them out, he still had nearly two thousand men. No matter how he looked at it, he would not lose.
Moreover, even if he couldn't win, it would be very difficult for the Japanese to find him once he retreated to the back mountain.
Seeing this, the controlled Nakajima Yoshiko said contemptuously, "Liu Laoqi, if you know what's good for you, you'd better let me go. It's not too late to turn back in time. Otherwise, when the imperial army attacks, your life..."
"Hmph!" Liu Heiqi snorted coldly and cursed angrily, "You stinky bitch, with just over a thousand of you, you can dream of attacking us!"
He ignored Nakajima Yoshiko and directly ordered Qi Houzi, "Old Eight, lock up this devil woman and assign more people to guard her. Don't let her escape. After driving away these little devils, I will take you guys to have fun!"
Upon hearing this, Nakajima Yoshiko glared at Liu Heiqi and said arrogantly, "Liu Laoqi, you've probably forgotten that Yuci City is not far from here, and I made preparations before I came out. Within an hour, a large battalion of the Imperial Army will arrive."
"By the way, let me remind you that our artillery squadron is also in line."
Her words made Liu Heiqi feel nervous. If one battalion of the Japanese attacked the mountain, he could barely hold on relying on the terrain, but he definitely could not withstand two battalions plus an artillery squadron. There was no need to think about that.
Qi Houzi's face also looked unhappy. He looked at Liu Heiqi, wanting to see if his boss had any solution.
Liu Heiqi didn't want to be a running dog of the Japanese, nor did he want to die. He turned to look at Qi Houzi and waved his hand.
Yoshiko Nakajima was taken away by the men in black, but the expression on her face before she left clearly showed that she had a backup plan.
In front of the stronghold gate, fierce firefight continued. The Jingguan Brigade was once again beaten back by the bandits. This time, Jingguan's expression began to become solemn.
He thought it would be easy to capture these bandits, but he was greatly disappointed.
He used almost all the means he could, but the superiors remained unmoved. Instead, his own men lost dozens of warriors in the attack.
If the two small teams led by Yoshiko Nakajima were added, half of his squadron's strength would be gone.
Although he also caused heavy casualties to the bandits, he could not afford such losses because the people in front of him were not regular troops, but bandits, a mob in their eyes.
"Bagaya road!"
"Terao-kun, you personally lead a small team to explore the surrounding area and see if there are other ways up the mountain. Do you understand?"
"Hi!"
Upon hearing the order, Captain Terao, Major, bowed immediately. He understood what the captain meant, which was to look for opportunities from other routes. If they could attack the bandits from the flank or rear, given the quality of these bandits, they would surely collapse quickly.
After Terao left, Jingguan Chengyi continued to command the Japanese soldiers to attack in order to put pressure on the bandits and buy time for Terao.
Boom boom boom!
The Japanese's two mortars fired shells at the stronghold, and almost every shell caused some casualties to the bandits.
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
After the bombardment ended, the Japanese attacked again under the order of Lieutenant Colonel Jingguan. The scattered lines made it difficult for the bandits to fight as they did at the beginning.
Moreover, the Japanese soldiers' quality was definitely not comparable to that of the bandits, and their marksmanship was also very accurate. As soon as the bandits showed their heads, they would be hit by the Japanese soldiers. Now the situation on the bandits' side became a little bad.
Yang Dashan watched his brothers fall one by one, and the Japanese were approaching step by step. He was so anxious that he started scratching his scalp!
"Old Thirteen, the Japs are too insidious. They obviously want to waste our bullets. We can't keep fighting like this!"
"Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. I'll listen to you on how you want to beat me."
Thirteenth leader Hu Shuangzhi was the only remaining leader besides the two mentioned above. He didn't dare to say anything at this time. He just did whatever his superiors said and was completely scared.
"Okay, then let's do this. Let's have the brothers hide and don't shoot. Wait until the enemy gets closer before we shoot!"
"Okay!" Hu Shuangzhi was very decisive and immediately went to make arrangements.
Seeing that there was no movement on the mountain, the attacking Japanese began to become more cautious. As the distance between the two sides got closer, Jing Guancheng smiled.
He guessed that the other side was short of ammunition. After fighting with them for so long, how much ammunition could a bandit's nest have?
"Reporting to His Excellency the Captain, the Murano Battalion has arrived, along with the artillery squadron."
"Yoshi." Jingguan completely relaxed and said with a smile: "Tell the warriors on the front line to be careful, these Chinese are cunning and sly!"
Although he guessed that the bandits had no ammunition, he still chose to be cautious. After all, if one warrior died, he would have one less warrior in his group. He still wanted to be promoted, so naturally the fewer troops he lost, the better!
