Chapter 24: Stuck to Help? (Ask for subscription)

Ushijima Mitsuru personally commanded the remnants of the 36th Brigade of the post headquarters to charge violently in a group manner and fiercely attack the blocking position of the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the New 1st Regiment on the valley road in the direction of Pingxingguan.

At this time, because the Japanese army was dying and desperate, and it had to break through the resistance of the third and fourth battalions at all costs, Li Yunlong withdrew part of the men and horses of the fourth battalion from the mountains on both sides of the ambushed valley road and joined the blocking position on the valley road to block the attack.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Da-da-da, da-da-da!"

..........

The guns roared, and the shuttle bullets fired from the blocking position, one after another, exploded in the charging ranks of the little devils, causing the Japanese soldiers to bleed all over the place, and the stumps and severed arms flew everywhere.

The heavy artillery fire once shattered the sky on the valley road between the two armies, and the sound of gunfire almost covered the sound of soldiers fighting on both sides.

"Kill, kill, for the sake of the 6th Division, for the sake of the Empire, for His Majesty the Emperor, rush me!"

Ushijima stood on the valley road with a white cloth strip on his head, drew his samurai saber, and fiercely slashed forward the 45th Infantry Wing of the 36th Brigade Regiment of the command post headquarters, and the remnants of the 23rd Infantry Wing, totaling more than 6,000 people, vigorously attacked the blocking positions of the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the New 1st Regiment.

I saw waves of little devils who were not afraid of death holding Type 38 rifles, and under the cover of the artillery brigade belonging to the only brigade, they were advancing forward with a fierce attack.

On the valley road, the devil soldiers, who were as dense as locusts, stepped on the snow that was already a little deep on the ground and attacked in the direction of Pingxingguan.

The screams and shouts of killing shook the sky, and Li Yunlong ordered the third and fourth battalions of the new regiment, with the support of more than 1,000 reinforcements led by Wei Dayong, a total of more than 4,000 people to hold the blocking position.

In the gap between the retreats before Ushijima Man, he stepped up his time to build several blocking positions not far apart.

Fortunately, behind the troops who rushed out of Hengshan to the Qiaogou Gorge east of Pingxingguan to set up an ambush, everyone in the army carried a large number of sacks. After the main force of the 6th Division of the little devil entered the Qiaogou Gorge, the sack he carried with him could be used by sappers to shovel the earth to build fortifications at any time.

This hand also caught Ushijima off guard.

I saw that although Ushijima was shouting hoarsely, the remnants of the Japanese soldiers of the 36th Brigade of the War Command suddenly attacked the blocking position of the new regiment in the direction of Pingxingguan, and finally seized the urgent road.

But as another blocking position appeared in front of the little devil charging soldiers, Ushijima, who was in command of the rear superintendent, was suddenly angry.

"Baga Ya Road, it can't go on like this! This is simply a war of attrition, and it is also a war of attrition that actively sends bullets to others to destroy! Ushijima saw through the binoculars that waves of charging Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground by the opponent's fire, and the dense corpses of Japanese soldiers had been scattered all over the valley road, accumulating layer by layer.

Such a cold charge can only become the target of the opponent's firepower, which is too embarrassing for this style of play.

"Brigade commander, if we rush like this, we can only wipe out the whole army! Ask the division commander for tactical guidance! I can't rush through, this terrain is too narrow, even if the first line of blocking positions of the Chinese army is captured, there will be continuous blocking positions behind. The terrain is narrow, making it easy for the other side to build blocking fortifications to stop us in a short time! The chief of staff of the brigade, Uenoji, rushed to Ushijima's side at this time and tried his best to persuade him.

The pig assault is itself a last resort countermeasure.

Now with such a rush, it can only lose the vital strength of the 36th Brigade and the elite Japanese soldiers in vain, and the gains outweigh the losses!

Ushijima smiled bitterly, "There is no way, even if the division commander wants to hold on to help, it is impossible to hold on to help in this kind of canyon." The Chinese army that ambushed us was definitely an elite unit, and just now the division headquarters sent someone to inform us that it was Li Yunlong's new regiment that ambushed us, as well as the 28th regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the headquarters of the independent regiment, totaling more than 14,000 people. And it's all elite troops! ”

"What? Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, then we will only be able to attack and advance head-on. The defenders of Kotani Daisuke at Pingxing Pass were also unable to protect themselves, and they were blocked by thousands of guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and the blocking troops sent by the Eighth Route Army who ambushed us here, and they were no longer able to meet us. ”

Ueno Ji said with a wry smile, the Pingxingguan garrison was already unable to protect itself and could not take over the 6th Division.

However, the Japanese troops in Fanzhi, Daixian, Hunyuan, Laiyuan and other places who blocked the periphery of Hengshan all encountered attacks by Chinese troops of varying degrees, which greatly restrained the strength of the Japanese troops in these towns and towns to reinforce them.

Therefore, Ushijima Mitsuru, who had radio stations to contact Japanese troops everywhere, already knew that within an hour of the 6th Division, it was impossible for Japanese troops from all over the country to rush to Pingxingguan as soon as possible for reinforcements.

The devils of the 6th Division can only rely on themselves to risk their lives to break through in the direction of Pingxingguan, and the Japanese defenders who will be at Pingxingguan will have a chance to hold on to Pingxingguan and wait for reinforcements. Otherwise, once you decide to stay here in Qiaogou Canyon and wait for help, it will basically be a dead end.

Obviously, Ushijima Mandu knew from the current battle situation that the opponent's total attack had been launched, and it was impossible to continue to stay and wait for reinforcements at this time.

"Order all the imperial warriors of the brigade to fight their way out of the encirclement and keep the honor of our 6th Division. Order all troops, continue to attack and advance, and kill! Ushijima commanded with a murderous spirit, his tone firm.

Ueno paused and said, "Haiyi, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, obey your orders!" ”。

As Ushijima once again sternly supervised the remnants of the Japanese troops of the 36th Brigade of the Battle Station to storm forward, all of a sudden, the Japanese soldiers in a frenzied manner launched a fierce attack on several blocking positions built by the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the New 1st Regiment.

The Japanese soldiers, who were not afraid of death, fiercely attacked the several blocking positions of the 3rd and 4th Battalions, and in front of the positions, bullets flew everywhere and explosions rained down, and the soldiers on both sides had already engaged in a close exchange of fire.

Fortunately, the terrain of Qiaogou Canyon and valley road is narrow, and several Makqin heavy machine guns are placed behind the simply built blocking fortifications, which are enough to block the Japanese troops charging from the opposite side.

I saw that the soldiers of the third and fourth battalions of the new regiment used several Makqin heavy machine guns to sweep the bullets past, and waves of dense devil soldiers rushing like locusts were swept to the ground in waves. On the valley road, the signs and the blood of the devil soldiers were intertwined, full of coagulation and merging.

Ushijima led his troops to rush for at least 20 minutes or so, but instead of breaking through the resistance of the 3rd and 4th battalions of the new regiment, he suffered heavy casualties under the attack method of the pig rush charge.

At this time, in the middle of the Qiaogou Gorge, Gu Shoufu, who learned of the casualties of the latest Ushijima Manchu 36th Brigade, had a gloomy face, but he didn't expect Li Yunlong's troops to be so difficult to fight!
