Chapter 249: Japanese Army Preparations

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the pursuit was over, with the result that the Japanese were once again eaten by two squadrons, and the losses of the two battalions exceeded 60 percent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At present, the casualties of the 3rd Division, the 6th Division, the 9th Mixed Brigade, and the two and a half divisions are extremely heavy, the losses of the 3rd Division directly exceed 70 percent, and the strength that can barely be formed is less than 5,000 men, and the losses of the Kumamoto Division are also more than 60 percent, and there are barely one brigade of troops, and more than 1,000 are wounded soldiers of the Japanese army.

The Ninth Mixed Brigade was even more miserable, in the charge of the Chinese army again and again, the Ninth Mixed Brigade was almost completely annihilated, and there was only less than one brigade left!

However, what cannot be ignored is that the casualties of our army cannot be ignored, and the besieging troops have suffered losses one after another, the most serious of which are the 58th and 20th armies.

The 58th Army also lost more than 60 percent of its troops, the new 11th Division was able to fight less than 4,000 troops, and the new 10th Division was able to fight only more than 5,000 soldiers, as well as a large number of lightly wounded.

In fact, the losses of the Sichuan army have always accounted for a large proportion of the War of Resistance against Japan, on the one hand, the Sichuan army's resistance is tenacious, on the other hand, the Sichuan army's equipment and military ability are limited, it can be said that they resisted the Japanese army not even military quality, but courage and life, relying on the fearless spirit of sacrifice to withstand the attack of the Japanese army! It is worthy of our eternal remembrance and remembrance.

In this battle, the Japanese army was still unable to break through the defense line formed by the Sichuan army and the Yunnan army, and was beaten back again, despair and injuries tormented these once invincible Japanese soldiers, and in the camp of the wounded soldiers, screams came and went.

At this time, the Japanese army once again showed their inferior side, outside the wounded barracks, a Japanese soldier Shaozuo Tie led a few Japanese soldiers to the wounded barracks with a blue face.

"How many are the seriously wounded?" This Shaozo asked.

"Hundreds, more than a thousand lightly wounded!" A Japanese squadron leader replied.

The Japanese soldier Shaozuo hesitated for a moment, took out an order and said: "Your Excellency the commander's order, take a look!" ”

The Japanese squadron leader took the order with doubts, and immediately exclaimed: "How can this be, I refuse to carry it out!" ”

"This is the commander's order, it must be carried out, we can't break out with them, and we don't have any medicine, so it's better to let them die happily, don't you say?" Shao Zuo's face was also heavy.

"There is still a big military operation tonight, we must act quickly, otherwise we will not be able to bring back their ashes!" This Japanese soldier Shaozo reminded again.

The Japanese squadron leader was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Hi"!

"The corpses we snatched back today will start cremating in ten minutes, and you guys should also speed up the cremation together, and you won't be able to catch up if it's too late!"

"Hey!"

After saying that, the Japanese army Shaozuo turned around and took people away, and the Japanese squadron leader turned around and looked at the wounded soldiers in the tent who were screaming in pain and said, "The commander ordered, end the suffering of these seriously wounded and take their ashes back!" ”

The soldiers in the field also understood the meaning, but none of them moved, and the Japanese squadron leader spoke again: "This is the glory of the imperial soldiers, there is still a big military operation tonight, if you are grinding them, you can only stay here and let the Chinese army slaughter, see the mass grave on the top of the mountain, you don't want them to be one of them!" ”

"With bayonets, hurry up, don't let them suffer, carry it out!" The Japanese squadron leader urged again.

Only then did the Japanese soldiers in the field remember that they were still human beings, and they would cry and be reluctant, and they would also find out how sinful the knives and guns in their hands were.

A moment later, some Japanese soldiers walked into the tent with bayonets in their eyes, most of these seriously wounded were already dying, and when these soldiers walked in, they thought they were going to carry them or go to surgery, but at this time, the bayonets they used to slaughter Chinese soldiers and civilians were stabbing them in the heart, just like they stabbed those unarmed Chinese people.

Confusion, remorse, resentment, despair, and expressions filled their faces, and angry roars rang out in the tents, but eventually the voices gradually became quieter, leaving only corpses and blood splattered around the tents.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, four or five huge bonfires burned in a small valley, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers were burned into ashes, and more than 2,000 burned corpses were snatched back alone, and a large number of Japanese corpses were still lying on Yingzhu Mountain.

Wuhan, the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Anan Weiji looked at the map with a sad face, in just a few days, Anan Weiji was like a teenager old, his brows were furrowed deeper, and his gray hair quietly increased a lot.

"Your Excellency, the plane is ready to go!" A Japanese staff officer said.

"Don't worry, wait for dusk to set off, the night can cover their transfer, and it can also ensure the bombing efficiency of the fighters!" Anan said.

"Tell them that after they break out, they will gather in Xinshi and the area around Changle Street to contain the troops who have broken through from all over the city, and they must ensure that they all withdraw before the 16th!"

"Hey!"

Soon after receiving the order, the Japanese army also began to prepare, and the 6th Division, 3rd Division, and 9th Mixed Brigade all cleared out their seriously wounded, leaving only those lightly wounded who could be transferred with the troops and began to establish a breakthrough route.

After some deliberations, it was finally decided to launch a main attack on the area defended by the 20th Army with the cooperation of the Air Force, and the main force began to break through from the defensive area of the 20th Army.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, I think our idea is still too optimistic, it is impossible for the Chinese troops to be suppressed by our firepower, considering the safety of all troops, I think we should leave some troops to contain and cover the breakthrough of the large army, only in this way can we ensure that the large force rushes out!" A Japanese soldier said.

"You decided to keep that unit?" The brigade commander of the Japanese army frowned.

"We also have a brigade in the wing, more than 1,600 people in three squadrons, let's stay!" This Japanese soldier said.

"You know what the outcome of staying behind is going to be, have you figured it out?" The commander of the Japanese brigade said.

"Think clearly, we only have one request!"

"You say!"

"We must take Changsha and dig up our corpses from the mass mound on the top of the mountain and bring them back to Japan!"

"Definitely!" The brigade commander said with some heaviness.

"Thank you!" This Japanese soldier Osataki saluted and said.

On the top of the mountain, the 58th Army, which had achieved great successes, gradually shifted from the initial vigilance to trimming, and many soldiers began to rest in the trenches after nibbling on a few steamed buns, and many soldiers had fallen asleep from overwork, leaving only a small number of troops on guard.

The position of the 20th Army was also roughly the same as that of the 58th Army, but the casualties of the 20th Army were more serious, and it could only shrink the defensive line and stick to the main area.

Time was flying, and Shadow Pearl Mountain was rare for a few hours, but the silence was finally broken.

It was already dark, and in half an hour it was dark, and the Japanese troops, who had eaten up the last of their food, began to assemble and wait for the arrival of fighters at any time.

The soldiers on the top of the mountain were also stationed in their own defensive lines to prevent the Japanese from sneaking up or something.

At this moment, the roar of fighter jets suddenly sounded in the sky, and when I looked up, I saw that more than 40 Japanese fighters appeared in the sky!

At this time, the Japanese artillery opened fire violently, firing shells at the main positions of our army.

The sound of explosions on the hillside also indirectly led the Japanese planes in the sky to bomb!

"Order the troops to quickly enter the anti-artillery hole to take refuge!" Lu Daoyuan hurriedly spoke.

Just as everyone was rapidly moving towards the anti-artillery hole, a series of aerial bombs fell like heavy rain on the position of the 58th Army.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded, the main positions of the 58th Army were covered with flames, shrapnel flew indiscriminately, and a large number of soldiers hid in the anti-artillery holes and waited for the end of the Japanese air raid.

At this time, seven or eight Japanese fighters were also firing wildly on our army's position, and the dense bullets were like heavy rain pouring wildly on the position, but fortunately, there were many anti-artillery holes in the trenches, otherwise the casualties would increase!

In the anti-artillery hole, a series of violent tremors erupted from the entrance of the cave from time to time, and the earth and stones poured down, as if they were about to collapse at any time.

"The little devil won't fight me again, these guys can't do it during the day and at night, don't they want to die?" Haijiji said loudly.

"Their shells are almost used, the shelling of artillery has been significantly reduced these days, and now there are only two possibilities for using the air force, either they want to attack us with the support of the air force, or they want to slip away!" Lu Hai frowned and thought for a while.

"It's our troops everywhere, will they still fly?" Haizhi Road.

"What does it mean that you just saw that there were more than 30 planes that had not been flown by Japanese troops, but only about 10 bombed us?" Lu Hai frowned and asked.

At this moment, a communications soldier took a telegram and said: "Regiment commander, capture the team's urgent telegram!" ”

Lu Hai took the telegram and looked at it, immediately picked up the phone and shook it: "Division commander, I am Lu Hai, capture the news of the team, the Japanese army is going in the direction of the 20th Army, and the Japanese army in front of us only has two squadrons!" I suspect that the Japanese army wants to break through in front of the positions of the 20th Army by means of air raids! ”

Lu Daoyuan's face sank, and he hurriedly walked to the map to see that it was not good, and hurriedly transferred the phone to Sun Dudao: "Commander, I found that the Japanese army was quietly moving towards the position of the 20th Army, and I suspect that the main attack of the Japanese army is in the 20th Army, and there are obviously more planes attacking the positions of the 20th Army than us, I suspect that they will break through from the positions of the 20th Army, and the 20th Army may need support!"
