A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and its pure white light shines on the earth, as if it has been sprinkled with a layer of silver powder. £º*Piaotian Literature Network*Net*
The evening breeze carries a hint of coolness, going straight into people's sweat pores, making people's hearts feel crisp and numb, and blowing away all the stuffy heat and irritability of the day.
There was joy on the ridge on the left side of Shentou Ridge. More than 700 Chinese and Indian officers and soldiers, including Song San and other wounded soldiers, raised their weapons and cheered in unison, feeling happy that they had finally driven the Japanese army off the mountain.
In this exciting and fierce offensive and defensive battle that started in the afternoon, the attacking Japanese Army's 35th Infantry Regiment's Third Infantry Battalion suffered more than 400 casualties and more than 600 minor or serious injuries. Almost all infantrymen in the entire brigade suffered casualties. Even the captain of the brigade was killed. He died for personally participating in the final attack.
The Chinese and Indian officers and soldiers defending the ridge on the left side of Shentou Ridge also suffered heavy losses, with more than 500 people killed and more than 700 people seriously injured. Among them, a Chinese battalion commander of an Indonesian close combat battalion was sacrificed, 9 Chinese company commanders, and more than 40 Chinese squad platoon leaders were killed or injured.

If brigade commander Lin Nan hadn¡¯t made a decisive decision and sent an Indonesian melee battalion from the back mountain in advance for reinforcements, it¡¯s still unclear who would win in the end.
Looking at the defeated remnants of the defeated army, the cheers of the Indonesian Anti-foreign Army came again to my ears. The captain of the 35th Regiment, Watanabe Hiroshi, had a ferocious face, and his eyes flashed with hatred.
If the captain of the 3rd Infantry Battalion had not died in the battle at this moment, Watanabe Hiroshi would probably be unable to bear it and execute him personally.
"It's too tenacious, it's too tragic." The captain of the cavalry regiment, Kobayashi Sengoro, said with regret on his face, shaking his head: "The casualties in fighting like this will be too great, Mr. Watanabe, since the war with Russia, our army has never been attacked again. I have experienced such a big blow. I didn¡¯t expect that these sick men of East Asia and Indonesian monkeys would have such a strong fighting capacity in this remote country.¡±
"Shame, this is a shame!" Watanabe Hiroshi, whose ears were filled with the cheers of the Indonesian anti-foreigner army, roared: "They are all useless things. Now I will personally lead the team to attack the mountain and let the sick monkeys know how powerful they are. .¡±
"Victory or defeat is a matter of military strategists." Kobayashi Sengoro advised in a deep voice: "Watanabe-kun, you should calm down. The enemy's army is well prepared and there is an endless supply of follow-up troops. It is already late now, which makes it even more difficult to attack. Our army is exhausted. You need to have a good night¡¯s rest before launching the attack tomorrow.¡±
¡¡
After venting, Watanabe Hiroshi calmed down, looked towards the mountains, and said with a sneer: "Sick monkeys, don't be too happy too early, the battle has just begun."
"Yes, the battle has just begun." Kobayashi Asagoro said seriously: "Watanabe-kun, around 11 o'clock tomorrow noon, the division commander will arrive with the remaining troops of the division. By tomorrow afternoon, the troops of the other two divisions will Also about to arrive.
Therefore, you must capture the ridge on the left side of Shentou Ridge before 10:30 tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it will be difficult to report to the division commander. "
"Don't worry, Mr. Kobayashi," Watanabe Hiroshi said harshly: "We have almost seen the methods of the Indonesian anti-foreigner army today. When the dawn starts tomorrow, I will let the officers and soldiers of the two brigades who have rested take turns to attack the enemy positions. Launch a fierce attack and we will definitely capture the high ground on the left side of Shentou Ridge before 10 o'clock."
"Yo Xi" Kobayashi Sengoro said happily: "Watanabe-kun, this evening, the logistics department transported a lot of artillery shells. There will be enough shells tomorrow, and we will definitely blow up the enemy."
"The cannonballs have been transported so quickly," Watanabe Hiroshi's eyes lit up and he said, "Xiaolin-kun, this makes me more confident." f! ~!
