388 Battle of the Canyon
In the early morning of the fourth day after the capture of Koichi Tanabe, the first glimmer of morning light appeared in the sky, and the roar of motors was heard over the seamount, and nine planes with plaster flags appeared in the sky above the canyon called Niujiaowan on the seamount, and raised "eggs" at this canyon at any cost.
Bombs, fuel bombs, just a few minutes of bombardment, the canyon has become a sea of fire, and there are fires everywhere.
After the plane flew away after the "eggs", the sound of artillery and mortar fire followed.
Perhaps, the Japanese army did not pay attention to the armament of those places in Haishan; Perhaps, the Japanese army did not expect that ** would be well equipped in such a short period of time; Perhaps, the Japanese thought that mortars were enough, so they did not bring heavy artillery this time, and only brought more than 20 mortars as heavy weapons for attack.
After a round of indiscriminate bombardment and shelling, the canyon has been completely unrecognizable. Nearly half of the residential houses that took a lot of effort to build collapsed and burned down; The fields that have been harvested for several seasons seem to have been plowed over, and the crops planted and the setting of the breeding animals have also been ruined.
Fortunately, all the residents of the canyon have moved to the nearby mountains, and the soldiers and self-defense forces who ambushed the canyon are hiding in the fortifications, and the personnel did not suffer any losses in this bombardment.
After a round of artillery bombardment, the Japanese troops gathered in Chen Village finally dispatched, and the battle began.
Because the road into the canyon was only a small road large enough for three people to walk in parallel, and the rest of the place was not easy to walk, the Japanese attack was not smooth, and after rushing for a while, except for throwing down dozens of corpses, they could not advance an inch.
The Japanese army, whose attack did not go well, immediately carried out the gunfire of Chapter 392.
The sudden attack behind was already unguardable, not to mention, this batch of Japanese troops was in a state of relaxation, so the surprise attack had a miraculous effect, and it only took one round of attacks to drive this group of Japanese troops who were preparing for a sneak attack to the river to feed the fish and shrimp.
Chapter 392 After the bombing and shelling, there was less than a platoon left of the people on the position, and it seemed that it was already in a state of exhaustion.
At this time, it was not yet dark, and if the encirclement and annihilation were launched at this time, the Japanese planes would definitely inflict heavy casualties on the large army, so it was not yet time for a general attack. But there are no more troops to send, so what can be done? Deputy Chief of Staff Cui set his sights on He Xiaojun, the interim commander of the Self-Defense Forces.
He Xiaojun, who knew the entire arrangement, of course understood the meaning of Deputy Chief of Staff Cui's gaze.
On the other side of the mountain, He Xiaojun, who had been paying attention to the changes in the battlefield, felt the fierceness and cruelty of the battlefield for the first time in two lives, and the blood in his heart was ignited.
Although He Xiaojun, who is a man of two lifetimes, is not sensitive to politics, he still has the concept of nationality and the concept of the countryside, and he also has a sense of responsibility and chivalry, so this life-and-death war has given him a new understanding, that is, so many people are contributing their own strength and even their lives to this land and this country, can he stand idly by?
Some veterans have said that the cruelty of war can make people forget their fears, and the passion of war can ignite people's blood. He Xiaojun was the battle that he witnessed throughout the whole process, which ignited his blood, and made him throw away the principle of cherishing his life for nine days, and without waiting for Deputy Chief of Staff Cui to speak, he took more than 100 people who followed He Xiaojun into battle without arming tasks, as well as Da Niu and Hu Feng, who have been inseparable from him these days.
Of course, the combat strength of the Self-Defense Forces is not as good as that of the regular army, but during this period of time, following the training of the Fuxing Society, coupled with some scientific training methods of He Xiaojun stealing teachers from his previous life, also gave the members of the Self-Defense Forces the ability to fight.
Coupled with He Xiaojun and Hu Feng, two accurate marksmans, as well as Da Niu, a machine gunner who could not fight a battle, it was more than enough to deal with the situation that could only be carried out by small troops, so after the addition of the Self-Defense Forces, the situation of the war was reversed to the original state of stalemate.
Seeing that the battle situation had returned to balance, the first-class generals who were monitoring the battlefield from several directions couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately began to arrange the general attack that would start in more than an hour.
At this time, neither He Xiaojun on the battlefield nor Deputy Chief of Staff Cui, who was in charge of overall planning, knew that the Japanese army was still secretly doing it.
The secret hand of the Japanese army was the special high school of the Japanese army in the provincial capital, and a capable team, under the leadership of Watanabe Jihao, was rushing over the mountain to the direction of the canyon from a direction they did not expect, preparing for a surprise attack to assist the Japanese army in successfully capturing the canyon.
