467 Hunting Time
Maotou Mountain is thirty miles south of Heshang Town.
At this time, a battalion led by Zheng Cuzi was fighting fiercely with the Japanese troops who were breaking out to the north.
Da da da!
The sound of intensive gunfire has been heard throughout the day.
More than 2,000 Japanese soldiers who tried to break out to the north were blocked here by Zheng Cuzi and his troops, who denied them the chance to move north.
Zheng Quezi's regiment, taking advantage of the geographical location and commanding the enemy, dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese.
"Little devils, come on!"
The roar of heavy machine guns has now become the sound that the attacking Japanese are most afraid of hearing.
The Japanese attacked in groups, but were quickly beaten back.
"Baga, attack, attack, don't stop for a moment.
We must take Maotou Mountain before dark."
As a result, a Japanese colonel who was commanding the battle at the foot of the Yamashita army ignored the Japanese troops who were suffering heavy casualties in the front-line attack.
Ordered to continue the attack.
There was no way, they were the vanguard of the Japanese 40th Division heading north.
The order given to them by Naojiro Amatani was to open up a passage to the north for the main force of their division at any cost.
Otherwise, the main force of their division would soon be attacked from both front and back by the National Army.
The 208th Division was blocking the enemy in the northern mountains, and the 209th Division was pursuing them from behind.
These two hundred square meters of mountainous area are the last strategic space left for the Japanese.
"Damn it, didn't they say that the Japanese were running out of weapons and ammunition?
Why is the firepower still so strong? "
On Maotou Mountain, some National Army officers were under a lot of pressure as they watched the Japanese invaders attack frantically.
The Japanese attack was too crazy and there were too many of them.
Their battalion of more than 500 people held out for about half a day, repelling seven or eight attacks by the Japanese and suffering heavy casualties.
Most importantly, their weapons and ammunition consumption was also huge, and there was no supply.
It seemed that the last of their American weapons and ammunition were about to run out.
"Heavy machine gun, fire at me.
Don't save bullets, just defeat this wave of devils first."
When Zheng Quezi saw that the situation was not good, he immediately shouted loudly.
Soon, several M1919A4 heavy machine guns opened fire wildly, using up all their last remaining ammunition in one breath.
Nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed, and the Japanese attack was once again repelled.
"Commander, we have used up all the American weapons and ammunition."
A major officer came over to report the emergency.
Zheng Quezi frowned. Although this was a trouble, they had expected it.
"Notify everyone to retreat.
Throw away all American equipment and from now on, use the Japanese equipment in reserve.
Retreat to the area of Heihu Mountain and continue blocking the enemy.
In addition, contact the commander-in-chief and ask them to urge the 209th Division to speed up the attack on the main force of the Japanese 40th Division.
We must not allow the main force of the 40th Division to come over, otherwise we will not be able to stop them."
Zheng Quezi gave the order.
They had long anticipated that the American equipment and ammunition they carried would run out.
Therefore, when we captured Heshang Town, we seized a batch of the devil's weapons and ammunition.
It's just right for emergency use now.
But this will also lead to a decline in the combat effectiveness of their regiment.
Even so, they continued to rely on their geographical advantages to block the Japanese troops heading north along the way.
The pressure will increase later.
The main thing is that, judging from the firepower of the Japanese troops attacking now, their firepower is still very strong.
It was as if the ammunition was not consumed as seriously as they imagined.
But in fact, Zheng Quezi didn’t know this.
At this time, the Japanese were also at the end of their strength.
This time, the Japanese vanguard troops they encountered heading north had such fierce firepower.
It was all because the commander of the 40th Division of the Japanese army, Naojiro Amaya, took away the last remaining ammunition of their division.
Most of them were used by the Japanese troops who were heading north.
On the contrary, at this time, each Japanese soldier of the main force of the Japanese 40th Division who remained in the rear had only three bullets in his hand.
After suffering seven or eight hundred casualties, this group of Japanese troops headed north to clear the way.
When they saw the national army on Maotou Mountain finally retreat.
They also became excited.
Unfortunately, not long after they headed north, they encountered another ambush in the Black Tiger Mountain area.
There are too many places on this mountain road that stretches for dozens of miles for Zheng Quezi and his men to carry out blocking operations.

At the same time, outside Jiyang City, the main force of the 209th Division led by Zhang Fa returned after a day's long-distance raid.
Finally arrived here.
Inside and outside Jiyang City, a large number of Japanese pack horses were retreating northward along the road.
When the 209th Division arrived, these Japanese soldiers were stunned.
They also didn't expect that the 209th Division could arrive so quickly.
"Kill!"
The front regiment of the 209th Division launched an attack without saying a word after discovering the Japanese baggage train.
A regiment, operating in company and platoon units, would decisively launch attacks against any Japanese troops they encountered ahead.
This was also the combat method that Zhangfa ordered to his regiments before the war.
Zhang Fa knew that given the actual situation on the Japanese side at this time.
In fact, the main force of the Japanese 40th Division no longer had the qualifications to engage in a large-scale field battle with them.
The Japanese did not have the ability to do so, whether in terms of morale or weapons and ammunition.
Therefore, as long as their division can catch up with the main force of the Japanese 40th Division before they escape.
They will definitely win this battle.
However, facing this battle that is bound to be won, how can we further expand the results?
Killing more of the Japanese's manpower is somewhat different from the previous fighting style.
In the end, it was decided that the entire division would be divided into countless small combat units based on companies and platoons.
This will make combat more flexible.
Let these companies and platoons disperse and attack the Japanese troops they encounter.
There is no need to ask for instructions, just kill the enemy when you see them.
Soon, the 209th Division, which had reached Jiyang, and its front nd Regiment took the lead in implementing this tactic of breaking the whole into small units.
In the south of the city, they were divided into attack teams based on companies and platoons.
They rushed forward madly and saw the Japanese baggage train.
"Kill!"
Da da da!
These National Army soldiers, each holding a submachine gun and a large eight-ball, pounced on the Japs like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Their eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent.
Dense bullets poured towards the Japanese soldiers appearing in front.
Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers fell down in groups like wheat being cut.
"The main force of the Chinese army is coming, turn around!"
A Japanese officer shouted miserably.
These Japanese soldiers collapsed at the first touch and had no intention of resisting at all.
This also made the soldiers of the 209th Division feel extremely surprised.
I have fought so many battles with the Japanese, but this is the first time I have encountered such easy-to-fight Japanese.
What else can these devils do but run away? There are only three bullets in their guns.
Resist or not, it makes no difference.
Only half an hour after the 209th Division arrived in Jiyang, it defeated the main force of the Japanese division outside the city.
Then, it’s hunting time!
