Major General Omizu said: "As for their artillery and tank troops, I'm afraid they won't be able to climb this Makufu Mountain, but their air force is not easy to say." We will face the toughest challenge of all, and we will have to fight the army of Han Xing. ”

For his own honor, Shigetaro personally commanded the battle to conquer Mt. Jilong.

Like a chicken coop, Jilong Mountain is guarded by the avenue at the foot of Makufu Mountain. If you don't conquer it, the troops walking down the hill will be hit by it from time to time. It is not impossible to bypass it, but if it is bypassed, it will be necessary to lose most of the baggage and heavy weapons, and then the combat effectiveness of the 33rd Division will be greatly damaged.

Jutaro made up his mind to conquer this Chicken Coop Mountain.

In terms of equipment, Gansu Shigetaro is still full of confidence, in addition to having three infantry wings, he also has a mountain artillery wing, a field artillery wing, and a tank armored vehicle wing, which is incomparable with the Chinese army.

Ganji Shigetaro asked his chief of staff, Osui: "Major General Osui, what are we going to do in this battle!" ”

Major General Da Shui said: "This Jilong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I think it is better to give full play to the advantages of our artillery!" Let the soldiers of China taste the power of our artillery. ”

"Yo Si! Yo West! Ganji Jutaro said, "If you fight like this and blow this chicken coop mountain to pieces, I don't believe that you can't kill these Chinese soldiers." ”

Gansu Jutaro bullied the Southern Expeditionary Army for not having artillery, and at the sound of an order, hundreds of cannons began to fire, only to bomb the Jilong Mountain was filled with gunsmoke, and the flames soared to the sky, and the entire Jilong Mountain was shrouded in a field of fireworks and shrapnel.

The shelling lasted for half an hour, and nearly 10,000 shells fell on the small Jilong Mountain, which can be said to have been comprehensively "taken care of." Not to mention people, even the bamboo forests, trees, and flowers on the mountain were not unharmed, and they all flew up.

The artillery stopped, and the infantry attacked. A brigade of the Japanese army began to attack the mountains.

Jilong Mountain has such characteristics, not only steep, but also constantly has cliffs that are more than one person high. This brigade of Japanese soldiers can't go up on foot, and when they reach the cliff, they have to climb up one by one.

I just climbed this cliff, I can't go far, and I have to climb the next cliff.

Just when the Japanese army reached a place about 100 meters from the top of Jilong Mountain, a dense bullet like a rain of bullets suddenly fell on the mountain. The Japanese fell one by one.

The Japanese army is also quite brave, not afraid of death, one after another. But just ahead, there was a small problem, and there was another cliff in front, so many Japanese soldiers began to climb the cliff one by one. When climbing the cliff, of course, it was quite slow, which became a live target for the Southern Expeditionary Army, and in the fierce gunfire, the Japanese army fell down one by one.

Even some Japanese soldiers climbed over this cliff, the front was still steep, and it was still difficult to straighten up, and they once again became the live targets of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and in the sporadic gunfire, they fell down one by one.

A cliff that is high by one person has become the death line of countless Japanese soldiers and the road to heaven.

This last cliff lay the corpses of countless Japanese soldiers, and I can't wait to fill in the gap below the cliff.

Many Japanese soldiers saw that they really couldn't climb this cliff, so they could only choose to hide under this cliff, in order to survive and hide for a while. The Japanese army under the cliff is accumulating more and more.

At this time, someone on the hill shouted: "Grenades, grenades." ”

Rows of grenades were thrown down the mountain, some flew over the cliff, some exploded under the cliff, and the dense crowd was immediately destroyed. There was nowhere to hide, there was nowhere to hide, only the Japanese army was jumping everywhere, it all depended on their eyes and luck.

Alive, dead, the Japanese army under the cliff is still gathering more and more. The grenades were still flying down from the top of the hill one by one.

Gansu Jutaro, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, was only so anxious that he screamed, and the pain was so painful that he poked the ground with his command knife, if he continued to fight like this, it would be worth it, and the casualties would be too heavy, too heavy.

Chief of Staff Osui couldn't stand it anymore, and he said to Ganji Jutaro: "Your Excellency the division commander, if we continue to fight like this, we can't afford it!" There are still many battles ahead of us, and these loyal soldiers are needed. ”

"So what do you say? How do you say? Jutaro Kanji lost his temper at him.

"We can't blame it." The chief of staff said, "Originally, we did not use poison gas until we had to. This is because the soldiers of China are so fierce that we have no choice but to use poison gas. ”

At this time, there was no good way, so he had to nod to the chief of staff of Osui and say, "Okay! ”

When the attacking Japanese brigade withdrew, it counted the number of people and lost nearly 400 people, which really hurt the hearts of Ganji Jutaro and Osui on fire.

Gas bombs began to fire, and the wind was southeasterly, and the Japanese were attacking from east to west. Therefore, the shell hit the southeast of Jilongshan, and it is said that the shooting was quite correct. Puffs of yellow smoke began to spread down the hill with the wind.

Ganji Jutaro also gave the chicken New Year's leave and said compassionately: "Brothers of China, it's not that we are too ruthless, it's that you are too tenacious, we have to use poison gas bombs as a last resort, please understand!" Hee-hee......"

The chief of staff of Dashui gritted his teeth and said: "O soldiers of China! Didn't you take advantage of the terrain? Well, let's give you a taste of the power of our gas bombs! Wait a while, when you are majestic. Hum! ”

Just as they were getting carried away, they suddenly spit out a string of fire dragons from Jilong Mountain. The fire dragon swept towards the southeast of Jilong Mountain, and the fire immediately ignited in the southeast direction of Jilong Mountain. The fire not only burned quickly, but also violently, instantly burning the trees, bamboo forests, and thatch in the southeast direction of Jilong Mountain.

The burning vegetation created an upward air current, instantly carrying away a large amount of air, including poison gases. The air flow formed a large flow, and the poisonous gas did not work at all, not only did it not work now, but it also remembered to work during the time of the fire.

The fire burning on the mountain also did the Japanese army a "big favor", the high temperature of several thousand degrees burned, that is, the bodies of the dead soldiers of the Japanese army were burned. Isn't it good for the Japanese army to cremate, and they directly cremated these corpses.

When Tataro saw this strange scene, he was a little stunned, and he asked, "Chief of Staff of Osui, what kind of weapon is this soldier, and why did the fire burn so quickly?" What's going on? ”

Da Shui is not a loss as the chief of staff, and he understands more scientific and technological knowledge than Ganji Jutaro, of course. He said: "I saw that the Southern Expeditionary Army spat out fire dragons from the mountains, and these fire dragons soon set the woods on fire. These fire dragons are some new weapons, and they must be reported to General Okamura Ninji. ”

Jutaro said, "Whatever you say, our poison gas has made a big difference. After a while, rush up the mountain and pick up the corpses of the Southern Expeditionary Army! ”

The chief of staff of Dashui said: "Your Excellency, my division commander, the soldiers of China are cunning. The reason why they set the fire is that around Jilong Mountain, a strong upward air flow was generated, and this air flow had already sucked away our poisonous gas. This is the same as fighting a fire, in order to extinguish the fire on the mountain, another fire was set out, and the original fire was quickly extinguished due to the action of the air current. ”

"I see," said Kanji Shigetaro with a sigh, "I say, why did the soldiers of Shina set this fire?" ”

At this time, General Okamura Ninji called again to urge. Shigetaro took the phone, and Ninji Okamura on the phone said to Shigetaro, "Where have your troops advanced?" ”

Jutaro had no choice but to say: "Report to Your Excellency the Commander of the Army, our army has advanced to the area of Jilong Mountain, and has encountered strong obstruction from the Southern Expeditionary Army. ”

"What, it's the Southern Expeditionary Army again?" Okamura Ninji said, "Do you have a way to deal with the Southern Expeditionary Army?"

Tataro shook his head and said, "Report to Your Excellency the Legion Commander, we don't have any good solutions at the moment. The Southern Expeditionary Army is too cunning and too strong, and we have already suffered a lot of losses from them. ”

General Okamura Ninji was a pragmatic strategist and tactician, and he did not criticize any general at random, but generally considered problems from the actual situation. He said to Jutaro Gansu: "Since you don't have a way to deal with the Southern Expeditionary Army, what do you want to do?" ”

At this time, there was no good way for Gansu Jutaro to do so, so he had to admit it and say: "Because the Southern Expeditionary Army used the fire dragon tactic, we couldn't attack Jilong Mountain for a while. Everything is subject to the orders of His Excellency the Commander. ”

Okamura Ninji said, "Because of your slow action, you have created another problem for me! At present, the 106th Division and the 101st Division are under siege by the Chinese army in northern Jiangxi, and the 3rd Division is also being blocked layer by layer in the Dongting Oil area, and their purpose is to cover the assault troops in the middle, that is, the attack of the 6th Division and the 13th Division. And your task is to break through to the Pingjiang area as soon as possible, and complete the encirclement of the 15th Group Army of the Chinese Army with the 6th and 13th Divisions. But it is precisely because of your sluggishness that the cucumber dish is cold. ”

Okamura also quoted a Chinese proverb.

"So what are we supposed to do?" Jutaro asked further.

"I ask you to cross this Mufu Mountain as soon as possible, and as soon as possible, insert yourself into the Pingjiang area, and complete the encirclement of the 15th Group Army with the 6th Division and the 13th Division."

"Then there is only one way, and that is to abandon all the baggage and artillery, bypass Mt. Jilong, and advance quickly." ”
