Chapter Seventy-Three: Gnawing the Great Dumb Mouth

After Ma Chenglong arrived on the other side of the swamp, he looked in the direction of Tom's corpse, did not say a word, and went into the jungle with tears.

Kimura and his team are preparing to cross the swamp from the other side when they find Tom, an American, who has fallen to the ground. Shot in the heart, the expression on his face was calm. Although Ma Chenglong's shot made Tom suffer a little more, and at the same time it was the wisest choice not to let himself be buried, but his ruthlessness was a bit chilling. At least in Yamano's view, going down to his companions is no longer human.

"Are you still chasing?" Looking at the lifeless swamp in front of him, Wu Changkayama asked a sentence that he had wanted to ask for a long time.

In the jungle on the other side of the swamp, Ma Chenglong knew that this devil team would soon catch up.

Two days later, he was caught up by Kimura's team again.

An endless game of cat and mouse continued, and before getting out of this dense jungle, Ma Chenglong used the trap under the strangulation rattan cloth to solve the Wu Nagayama of the Kimura team, but since then, he has never succeeded.

This group of devils chased too hard and too tightly, like a bone appendage. After countless encounters back and forth, Ma Chenglong ran out of bullets and threw away his gun, and when he had feet, he finally stepped down the road below Songshan. For a long time, he walked all day long on the ghost gate, and at this moment he finally heard the rumbling of cannons by the Nu River, but he was not too surprised.

After all, there is a war going on all over the world, and there is no such thing as a true Pure Land for a long time.

......

Although it was to keep part of the position. In this attack on the 8th Army, nearly five battalions were lost, the deputy commander of the 307th Regiment and the commander of the 1st Battalion were wounded, and many company commanders and platoon commanders were killed.

The 8th Army paid a huge price, but the results were not noticeable. So many front-line commanders died, and the division commander and regiment commander looked gloomy, who would lead the troops to fight?

The battle was fought to such an extent, and the 8th Army was also red-eyed, and they fought for their lives to take Songshan. The casualties of the troops were too great and they had to replenish their troops, so Commander He ordered the 103rd Regiment of the 308th Division to go to Songshan.

The 8th Army once again launched an entire general assault on Matsuyama. This time, mountain artillery, mortars, etc., were fully pushed to 200 to 300 meters of the Japanese position. The artillery fire shook the mountains and rocks, the ground shook, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the spearhead regiment rushed forward with the light of fire. The regiments and battalion commanders of the top regiments all took the lead, and the soldiers were of course even more dead.

Under the cover of thick smoke, the spearhead took advantage of the dead angle to get close to the enemy's fortress.

"Damn, you little Japanese are hiding in the fortress and shooting hidden guns, today Lao Tzu wants you to go to see the king of Hades!"

Saying that, the warriors of the Sharp Corps gritted their teeth and threw their hands ** into the enemy's dark fort, but they didn't hear the explosion, but the hands with smoke ** were thrown out by the devils, and the soldiers went crazy, grabbed the smoking hands ** and quickly threw them into the fortress again, and the hands ** finally exploded in the enemy's fortress.

Smoke rose around the position, and six or seven hundred soldiers of the Sharp Knife Regiment roared into the Japanese position.

Bloody hand-to-hand combat unfolded, extremely fierce fighting was going on in the narrow trenches, both sides of the enemy and the enemy became red-eyed wolves, and at this juncture of life and death, no great oath and ideal existed, and there was only one thought, that is, the other must be destroyed......

On August 3, the 8th Army finally took Rolling Dragon Slope.

The battle also took a heavy toll, with Battalion Commander Xie of the 246th Regiment killed, leaving only 18 men in the two battalions.

From the beginning of July to the beginning of August, after the 8th Huan took over the new 28th Division, it had been fighting for a full month, and after five general attacks like the new 28th Division, it finally gnawed down another hill. However, what can be said is that after capturing the rolling dragon slope, it is close to the main peak of Songshan.

In order to further form an encirclement posture against the main peak of Songshan, Commander He wanted to launch the sixth general attack on Songshan in one go. This time, the target of the attack was to focus on the big dumb mouth to cut off another important threat on the side of the main peak.

With the 308th Regiment and the 307th Regiment of the 103rd Division as the left flank, they advanced to Da Ya Pass along the ridge of the Rolling Dragon Slope, and the 246 and 246 Regiments of the 82nd Division attacked Da Ya Pass from the right, in order to cover the main attack motive and attract Japanese firepower, the 3rd Battalion of the 309th Regiment, the 3rd Rong Regiment, and the 2nd Rong Regiment attacked the sub-high ground head-on.

Still opening the way with powerful artillery fire, the artillery battalion had already advanced the mountain artillery to the position of Rolling Longpo, which was only 300 meters away from the Japanese position, just waiting for the order of Commander He.

On August 3, the 6th Matsuyama General Offensive of the 8th Army began again.

Dozens of cannons frantically threw shells at the main peak of Matsuyama, and under the heavy artillery, thick smoke billowed and flames erupted, and Matsuyama was completely submerged in dense smoke.

Following the advance of artillery fire, the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Rong Regiment attacked the high ground of Dayakou. Inevitably, another brutal close-quarters fight, the red-eyed sides twisted together, for two hours, blood filled the mountains, corpses filled the trenches, and the 3rd Battalion finally occupied the eastern half of the high ground. But until dusk, the Japanese stubbornly held on to the western half of the position, and neither of the wounded could eat the other, and they were temporarily in a stalemate with each other.

When the 2nd Battalion of the 246th Regiment desperately broke into the unheights, there were only more than 50 officers and soldiers left in the whole battalion, and these more than 50 officers and soldiers had not adjusted their positions, and they were immediately attacked by the Japanese flanks in the direction of Dazhai.

The 308th Regiment on the left flank took advantage of the Rolling Dragon Slope Heights and approached step by step in a close manner. The deafening sound of artillery, the fighting of brother troops, and the sound of guns and bullets sounded in their ears, and in order to capture the target as soon as possible, the soldiers of the 308th Regiment had to lie on the ground and dig trenches with difficulty. Leaping in front of the enemy fort is an attack, and digging a trench under artillery fire is also an attack.

On August 7, the 308th Regiment occupied the Xin Heights in one fell swoop. The 307th Regiment also successfully occupied the Hiren Heights by trench operations.

However, in front of the battle, the two sides launched a fierce battle for position, and it was another bloody hand-to-hand fight, and in the end, there were only 18 officers and soldiers left in the whole battalion. It's the dozen or so people who are left of me, who have been sticking to the blood-stained position.

On August 10, the 8th Army completely occupied the Da Pass. The two wings of the main peak of Matsuyama were finally cut off. The main peak of Matsuyama was surrounded by the 8th Army.
