Chu Yunfei was completely furious!
After all, he was a top student of Huangpu Stage Five, and the 358th Regiment under him was an elite unit of the Jinsui Army. How could he be humiliated by the devils?
Chu Yunfei immediately ordered the artillery battalion to bombard the Tanaka United Army. The artillery fire rumbled on the Beizi Ridge, and the ground shook.
Although the Tanaka United had a certain advantage in firepower, this was the base of the 358th Regiment after all. The 358th Regiment had an absolute geographical advantage.
In a short period of time, both sides were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other.
In the 358th Regiment's headquarters, the phone rang non-stop.
"Hello, I am the 1st Battalion Commander Qian Bojun. The Japanese's artillery fire is too fierce. They fired more than ten cannons at our front line in one breath. We can't hold on much longer.”
"Even if you can't hold on, you have to hold on for me. If you lose your position, Qian Bojun, bring your head to me.”
Pa!
Chu Yunfei hung up the phone angrily. Not long after, another call came in.
"Captain, I am Liang Guoping from the Cannon Battalion.
More than half of our artillery shells have been used up, and two mountain cannons have been destroyed. If we continue fighting, we will have used up all our resources.”
Chu Yunfei took the phone and scolded him righteously,"Even if you have one last cannonball and one last cannon, you have to defend the position.”
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yunfei pulled out a pair of Browning pistols from his waist and shouted outside the command center.
"Order the 3rd Battalion to gather the guards. Today, I must personally kill this old devil Tanaka.”
At this time, the chief of staff, Fang Ligong, hurriedly stood in front of Chu Yunfei with an anxious expression.
"Guild Leader, don't act rashly! We didn't receive orders from the higher-ups to enter the battle without authorization. When we return, our troops will be wiped out. We can't afford to be blamed by Officer Yan.
Moreover, this matter is somewhat strange. According to the information we received in advance, the Tanaka Regiment should have gone to reinforce Guan Jiapo.”
Chu Yunfei was obviously a little angry at this time. He pushed Fang Ligong away.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm the commander of the 358th Regiment.
I don't care what their real purpose is, since they dare to attack my 358th Regiment so brazenly, if I, Chu Yunfei, don't even return my hand, how can I have the face to live in the northwest of Shanxi in the future?”
After saying that, Chu Yunfei pushed Fang Ligong to the side and left the command center with the guard company and the 3rd Battalion.
Chu Yunfei was a valiant general on the battlefield, so he naturally felt that this matter was strange.
As a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, he had his own blood in his bones.
Now, it was no longer important why the Tanaka United Army suddenly attacked Regiment 358. Both sides had already exchanged fire and caused some damage.
If he let the Tanaka Regiment go at this time, wouldn't Chu Yunfei suffer a great loss?
From the reports from the frontline, the Tanaka squadron's intention was very obvious. They wanted to quickly pass through the 358th Regiment's defense zone.
This made Chu Yunfei see the need to stop them!
If he could annihilate the Tanaka Regiment, Chu Yunfei would definitely become famous in the northwestern region of Shanxi.
As long as they could seize the Tanaka United Army's equipment, they would be able to recruit more soldiers.
Beizi Ridge.
Tanaka Ichihira's eyes were red. He obviously did not expect Regiment 358 to resist so tenaciously.
If this continued, even if they were lucky enough to pass through the Back Ridge, they would probably lose more than half of their troops.
"Tanaka, bad news. There is an infantry battalion coming from the eastern side of the Birch Forest. Their target seems to be our command center.”
Tanaka clenched his fists, his eyes full of hatred. If it wasn't for the mission, he really wanted to fight Chu Yunfei to the death.
"Baka! He ordered the 1st Infantry Battalion, 2nd Infantry Battalion, and Mountain Cannon Squadron to quickly pass through Beizi Ridge.
The 3rd Infantry Company and the Rapid-Fire Cannon Company stayed behind to stop the 358th Regiment.”
Obviously, Tanaka was completely enraged. He planned to sacrifice an infantry brigade and a rapid-fire cannon squadron to quickly pass through the Back Ridge.
Even though the Yamazaki Battalion was only a single battalion, they were the elite troops of the First Army. This battle was of great strategic significance.
As long as the Tanaka Regiment could join up with the Yamazaki Battalion, they would be able to hold back the main forces of the eighth division.
It wouldn't be long before Taiyuan, Fu 'an, and Luyang's devils would come to reinforce them. At that time, they would be able to completely destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a new round of artillery fire, Tanaka quickly led the remaining troops of the two battalions and the Mountain Cannon Squadron out of the Back Ridge.
Tanaka led the two infantry battalions and the Mountain Cannon Squadron and finally passed through Beizi Ridge.
The remaining 3rd Infantry Battalion and Rapid-Fire Cannon Squadron were completely locked down by the 358th Regiment.
"Long live the Licking Emperor, long live the Licking Emperor!"
The remaining devils knew that they were doomed, so they simply defended Beizi Ridge and fought to the death with the 358th regiment.
"Regiment commander, Tanaka has escaped with his troops!”
Chu Yunfei looked at Tanaka's troops who had already escaped and could not help but grit his teeth.
"It's a pity that we didn't manage to take down his command center. Order the 1st and 2nd battalions to charge forward and completely destroy this stubborn enemy.”
After successfully passing through the Back Ridge, Tanaka heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as they crossed Coiling Dragon Bay, they would be able to reach Guan Jiapo in at most half an hour to meet up with the Yamazaki Brigade.
He didn't know that a pair of viper-like eyes were peeping at them in Coiling Dragon Bay.
