Chapter 328: Bloody Battle! Bloody battle
After the attack on Matsuyama began, the Japanese base camp also paid great attention to it, and the previous transportation was almost cut off, and Matsuyama was consumed very seriously after rounds of consumption, and if it were not for the Japanese army to prepare a large amount of ammunition and food before, I am afraid that the Japanese army would have been hungry.

In such a situation, the Japanese army also hurriedly dispatched troops to transport food and send a certain amount of reinforcements, after all, Songshan was taken down, then the front of the entire western Yunnan defense line was completely lost, if Songshan has been standing, then even if the Chinese army captured Longling and Tengchong, Songshan can still block the Yunnan-Burma road, and can also attack the Chinese army along the way, which shows its strategic location!
Therefore, Songshan is the most important part of the entire western Yunnan counteroffensive, once Songshan is taken, then the front line will be completely unlocked, and a steady stream of troops will pass through the blockade of Songshan and march directly towards Tengchong, so that the rout of the Japanese army will intensify, and it will not be too late to recover western Yunnan!
Matsuyama has become a battleground for both sides, but as the time passed last month, neither side had been able to effectively defeat the other except for inflicting casualties on the other, and the troops that had attacked Matsuyama had suffered heavy casualties, so it had also become a sad place for the Chinese army.
War is cruel, is iron-blooded, here only you fight to the death and fight endlessly, the same victory is also great, is piled up with the life of the hot-blooded children, here is destined to fall more blood-blooded children, only in this way, this land that belongs to us will return to our arms again, and only in this way, those people who suffer day and night can have a simple life, the nation and the army will have dignity!
The fierce battle continued, bombing charge, bombing charge, heavy artillery in the back, mortar fire in front, machine guns and submachine guns and rifles, the barrels of some light machine guns were all red, and even more in just an hour's effort, the two light machine guns in the front line were replaced with two barrels, which shows the cruelty of the battle!
When they arrived at the second-line position, the casualties on both sides of the battle became more serious, the Japanese army was hit by our army's fierce artillery fire, and our soldiers were also killed and injured by these tunnels and fortresses, and in just half a day, the entire second-line position was covered with corpses, and a corpse almost blocked the trenches.
The second-line positions were deeply dug trenches, most of the Japanese fired with their heads exposed, and at intervals on the hillside in front of them there were permanent machine-gun forts, which were set up with machine guns to fire heavily at our attacking troops.
There are trenches outside the trenches, there are also fire points outside the fire points, and you will even find yourself on the side, and even those places that have been captured will appear Japanese fire points, and many soldiers die without knowing which direction they were killed by bullets fired from which direction.
"Boom!"
There was only a muffled sound, and a rocket hit a machine gun fortress hard, and the Japanese soldiers who fired inside were hit by shell fragments and fell backwards in both eyes, and just after this fire stopped, seven or eight soldiers hurriedly launched a charge, but after they had just run a few steps, a fierce machine gun sound rang out again in the machine gun fortress opposite, and they fell to the ground with the sound of gunfire. None of the soldiers of a squad survived, and at this moment, a platoon commander in the back again took seven or eight soldiers to crawl as far as possible, and two artillerymen also carried Bazooka up.
However, the two artillerymen were killed by the Japanese as soon as they showed their heads, and the platoon commander was also anxious and shouted: "Grenades create a smoke screen!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the two soldiers hurriedly pulled two grenades and threw them, and in the roar, the place was also blown up with fire and smoke, and at this time, the platoon leader suddenly turned over and rolled rapidly, but he hid in a crater.
The sound of gunfire is still blocking this place, but all the Chinese soldiers who come over are either killed or suppressed, and daring to show their heads is a dead end, and the offensive that was originally smooth is stuck again!
At this moment, the platoon commander violently pulled the grenade out of the trench and rolled quickly, only one meter away from the Japanese army, the platoon commander hurriedly threw the grenade into the narrow machine gun shooting hole, only to hear a huge roar, the Japanese army inside was killed, this machine gun that killed and injured dozens of Chinese soldiers finally muted fire!
Just when the platoon commander turned around and beckoned the troops to go up, the gunshots above rang out suddenly, only to hear a crisp, bullet through the steel helmet sound, blood flowed down his forehead, the platoon commander didn't seem to expect this ending, the body tried to stabilize and seemed to want to steady, but finally began to shake and fell to the ground, until death did not close his eyes!
With the further expansion of casualties, coupled with the continuous close proximity of the Japanese army, through the main fort, the dark fort shooting, and even the use of poison gas bombs to organize our army to attack, so that the casualties of our army increased even more, in just half a day, the casualties actually reached more than 1,000 people, the main regiment of the forward attack, the regiment commander was seriously wounded, the deputy regiment commander was killed, and the loss of platoon-level officers was even more heavy.
Finally, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the offensive was slightly suspended, and the soldiers of various units were gnawing dry rations in these trenches full of corpses, pressing bullets and preparing for the next round of attacks, while the Japanese troops were also replenishing ammunition and eating lunch.
In this gap, more than 400 Japanese troops moved quickly through the underground tunnel to a small high ground on the side of our army, which was originally just a bare grass slope mixed with earth and rocks, and the Japanese army did not set up a defensive line here, so it was not attacked by our army.
"Bang!"
"Da Da Da!"
The sudden gunfire was interrupted by a short exchange of fire, and some soldiers were still holding cans of dry food and were shot above their heads and fell down, and for a time there were more than seventy or eighty dead and wounded, and the rest hurriedly moved to the side of the trench to find cover to shoot, but all they saw were some shooting holes that kept lighting up the fire, and they didn't find a single exposed Japanese soldier, and the raindrops of bullets had no effect at all!
"004 Heights, Request White Phosphorus Bombardment, Repeat 004 Heights Request White Phosphorus Bombardment!" A communications soldier shouted.
At this moment, a bullet slammed into his steel helmet, and the whole person was knocked over by the huge impact, and the blood stained the entire radio red!
Without waiting for the artillery to launch a bombardment, the Japanese troops who originally belonged to the frontal position opened fire violently, and the soldiers of our army in the trenches were sandwiched on both sides, under the fierce fire of more than 20 light and heavy machine guns, the company at the front was almost completely annihilated, and soon some Japanese troops drilled out to recapture the originally lost positions, some fortresses that took countless lives to fight were once again set up by the Japanese army with machine guns, some seriously wounded soldiers who did not die were tortured and killed by the Japanese army, and some were tortured and killed by the Japanese army, after a soldier who was only seventeen or eighteen years old was seriously injured, He was stabbed in the heart with a bayonet by the Japanese army, twisted three times, shattered the entire heart, and then brutally cut off his limbs and head and put them on the front line to demonstrate!
When he saw the wreckage of young soldiers scattered all over the front position, one of the battalion commanders who had come over almost burst into flames and shouted: "Brute! Order down, I don't need to take prisoners, once I encounter the Japanese army, I will kill them all! ”
"Yes!"
"004 calls for artillery support, 004 calls for artillery support!"
After a series of calls, our artillery positions quickly locked onto the slope full of fire points and began to bombard, under the round of bombardment, these Japanese soldiers were finally burned out by white phosphorus bombs, and when they came out screaming with white smoke, these soldiers were not shooting, and let them scream and still burn their sinful bodies into a pile of char by the white phosphorus of the tarsal maggots.
The bombardment lasted for ten minutes, and there were hundreds of Japanese troops on the side slope who were scorched by white phosphorus, and before that, it was just an inconspicuous hillside!
"Hit it from here, bring a flamethrower, and burn all the beasts lying in the ground to charcoal!"
"Yes"!
"Three companies follow me, Bazooka prepare!"
"Yes!"
After the order was given, a series of bazooka fired at the machine-gun fortress opposite, while the follow-up infantry also charged towards the Japanese position!
The battle raged as the soldiers stepped on the bodies of their brothers and continued to shoot, but at the sound of gunfire, some of the soldiers fell on top of their brothers' bodies again.
On the side of the hillside, after the fierce bombardment of white phosphorus bombs, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, not to mention, the key is that the white phosphorus bombardment here caused a very thick smoke to this hillside, directly blocking the view here, and the charging soldiers did not suffer too much hindrance to come to this hillside.
As soon as several flamethrowers saw these above-ground passages, they pointed their flamethrowers at them without saying a word, and angry tongues of fire slammed into these underground passages, and a scream suddenly sounded in the underground passages. Some of the soldiers pulled some grenades without flamethrowers and shoved them down, and the explosion roared, and after twenty minutes there was finally no movement below, leaving a platoon of soldiers stationed here, and the rest hurried to the front for reinforcements.
The whole Songshan is in a tragic bloody battle, every step forward has to pay the price of blood, the battle is extremely cruel, the fighting never stops for a moment, life is extremely fragile here, at that moment, the people here are no different from ants, they are so fragile, they are so powerless, a simple impact will kill and wound dozens or even hundreds of soldiers, but we have not stopped, and the battle will not stop there....
