    Chapter 417: Tempering the Troops (22)

    The sudden heavy rain lasted until about 6 o'clock in the evening and then gradually stopped.

    The heavy rain alleviated the scorching heat and brought bursts of coolness to the sweltering Shentou Village and nearby areas, greatly refreshing the officers and soldiers of both sides who were suffering in the high temperature.

    However, completely opposite to that in the morning, after the fighting in the afternoon, there was silence on the positions of the Chinese and Indian troops, but cheers of victory came from the Japanese positions.

    Hearing the cheers of the Japanese army, the leaders of the guard army Huang Congli, Lu Liwei and others looked ugly and unwilling.

    Lu Liwei was very dissatisfied with the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division who had crossed the mountain to reinforce Ningyuan Village. He scolded Zhu Yixuan, the commander of the 1st Division who had just returned to the guard army headquarters to report: "What did Xiao Cao do? At such a close distance, his  Even if the troops crawled, they would reach it.¡±

    Zhu Yixuan lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Deputy Commander, the heavy rain washed away the mountain road to Ningyuan Village. The officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion tried their best. More than ten people were injured during the climb over the mountain, but they still couldn't make it in time."

    Lu Liwei said angrily: "If you fall, you will die. We must rush over in time for reinforcements. The 1st Brigade of the Sino-Indian Integrated Division, the Indonesian Close Combat Battalion and other troops are in Shentou Village. This time, we will make them laugh."

    Huang Congli shook his head and advised: "Liwei, the mountain road from Shentou Ridge to Ningyuan Village is originally very steep and difficult to walk. When it rains heavily, not even a battalion of troops can pass it, even if they lose their lives. Fortunately, if the Japanese army wants to go around the mountain road,  It will take more than three days to rescue the 19th Wing, and we still have a chance to make amends."

    "Commander, deputy commander, Commander Zhu, the principal wants you to go to an emergency military meeting." A staff officer walked in quickly and reported.

    "Okay, I'll go right away."

    With that said, Huang Congli, Lu Liwei and others stood up and hurried to the headquarters behind Shentou Village.

    At this time, where the Japanese troops were stationed, the cheers of some Japanese officers and soldiers could still be faintly heard.

    Lu Liwei said "poof" at the place where the Japanese troops were stationed, and cursed to himself: "Little Japan, don't be happy for too long. God helped you this time. Next time, you won't be so lucky.  ¡±

    When Huang Congli, Lu Liwei and others arrived at the headquarters behind Shentou Village, Chen Hao, Zheng Tiehao, Xia Xingshuo and others had been waiting at the headquarters for a long time.

    As soon as he entered the headquarters, Huang Congli saluted and said first: "Principal, the guards did not defend well today and lost their position. Please punish the principal."

    "Principal, at dawn tomorrow, the students will personally lead the troops to recapture the position," Zhu Yixuan, commander of the 1st Division, continued.

    "I already know what happened." Chen Hao said in a deep voice with no expression on his face: "The battle in Ningyuan Village this afternoon was the most fierce battle since we started the war with the Japanese army. The reinforcements were blocked by heavy rain.  , it¡¯s really a pity that we couldn¡¯t arrive in time.¡±

    "Yes." As soon as Chen Hao finished speaking, Lu Liwei continued angrily: "Principal, the little Japanese are suicidal. Seeing that there are not many defensive personnel in our army, they launched a suicidal attack. Grandma, in just one afternoon, they were in Ningyuan Village.  This small village paid the price of more than 3,000 casualties. He doesn't regard human life as his life at all."

    "Stop talking nonsense." Chen Hao said unhappily: "I have said before that little Japan will do whatever it takes to achieve its combat goals."

    After a pause, Chen Hao continued: "In this fierce battle, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Regiment, 1st Division, killed and wounded enemy troops several times their own. Although they were defeated, they were honored.

    We also saw from this battle that the People's Liberation Army troops equipped with m1903 rifles, grenades and Maxim heavy machine guns were not something the Japanese could resist.  In the future, as long as the command is done properly, it will be entirely possible to completely annihilate the Japanese Borneo Expeditionary Force.  ¡­¡±

    After speaking with emotion, Chen Hao turned to the topic and said to Huang Congli: "After Ningyuan Village and another small village were occupied by the Japanese army, the small villages on the right side of Shentou Ridge have been completely isolated. After you go back, immediately  Give the defenders in those small villages and ask them to all retreat into the mountains and try their best to harass the Japanese troops in the mountains and hinder the Japanese army's advance."

    "Yes" Huang Congli agreed, and then said after deliberation: "Principal, do you want to send troops to the road out of the mountain to build a position to stop the Japanese army?"

    "The terrain there is open, no need." Chen Hao said: "I have sent a special forces team of more than 200 people to go into the mountains to harass and attack the Japanese army. I believe that with their harassment, the Japanese army will spend at least about 5 days.  Only then can we get out of the mountains.¡±

    "That's great," Lu Liwei finally showed a smile and said, "By the time they arrive, the 19th Regiment, which is short of food, will have been wiped out by us."

    "In addition, in the battle of Ningyuan Village, the destruction of the 1st Division, 3rd Regiment and 1st Battalion gave me a?New important decisions.  "Chen Hao said solemnly.

    Hearing that Chen Hao had made an important decision, Zheng Tiehao and others couldn't help but pricked up their ears.

    Chen Hao said very seriously: "From now on, our army will conduct defensive operations on positions, except in particularly critical and critical places. Under normal circumstances, if the defensive troops are about to run out of ammunition and reinforcements have not yet arrived, we do not advocate fighting to the end.

    ???????????????????????????????After the defensive force reaches the time limit to block the enemy, it is required to withdraw from the battle with the wounded as much as possible to preserve their vitality.  "

    While Chen Hao and others were holding a military meeting, in the Japanese military headquarters, there were the commander of the 17th Division, Ichibei Ichihei, the commander of the 9th Division, Tsukamoto Katsuyoshi, and the 3rd Division who had just arrived in the afternoon.  Division Commander Akira Watanabe and other senior Japanese commanders are also conducting military meetings.

    At this time, Saburo Sakata, Chief of Staff of the Ninth Division, had finished introducing today¡¯s tragic battle and was making a final summary.

    "Although our army paid a price of more than 3,000 men to capture Ningyuan Village, our army also obtained a large amount of valuable intelligence. This information will play an important guiding role for our army in future battles.

    First of all, after capturing Ningyuan Village, we saw that almost all the people holding guns were Chinese people, while those Indonesian monkeys only held broadswords and spears.  From this, it is completely confirmed that the so-called Indonesian anti-foreigner army is actually dominated by cunning Chinese people.

    Secondly, the Chinese army that our army is currently facing is extremely powerful.  The rifles they are equipped with are all Type 903 rifles. This shows that there are Americans behind the Indonesian anti-foreign forces.

    In addition, the enemy also has Maxim heavy machine guns and extremely advanced grenades.  They fought tenaciously and bravely. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain and the enemy's ammunition being exhausted by our army's desperate attack, our army would have been unable to capture Ningyuan Village even if it cost tens of thousands of people.  "

    Having said this, Saburo Sakata raised his voice and said loudly: "The enemy army in front of us is very powerful and is the absolute main force of the enemy army. I can say with certainty that as long as they are eliminated, we will own the entire South Borneo."
