Chapter 117: Blood Stains Songshan Mountain Has a Spirit
Finally, when the two sides were close enough to see each other's faces clearly, Scorpion and Mushu realized that this was the devil in the photo at the same time, and the two erupted in anger.
"Brother Ma!" Not far from the rear, the lame five had just picked up Liu Mazi, who had been shot and fell to the ground, and his eyes came over, and he couldn't help but feel distracted.
Several mortar shells whistled, the exploding waves of mud and rising clouds of smoke obscured everything, and the three figures approaching each other went from shooting to hand-to-hand combat, but only a short moment. Ma Chenglong's fast gun is not an ornament, Mu Shu was shot in the chest twice, one shot in the abdomen, but still burst out with amazing vitality, close to a horizontal hug, firmly locked Ma Chenglong's arms, the scorpion took the opportunity to raise the knife and stabbed him straight, but was kicked in the lower abdomen by Ma Chenglong, the whole person almost flew into the air, followed by the thrown military stab through the chest.
This is the knife of the Chinese? The scorpion felt no pain at all, and the great humiliation and intense hatred supported him to pounce on the young Chinese soldier again.
Scuffles, wheezing, blood...... The three of them rolled into a pile, indistinguishable from each other. Perhaps they have been waiting for this moment for too long, for them, this is not just a fight, but also a duel between will and soul.
When the lame five rushed over, he shot the scorpion that was torn off by Ma Chenglong, and Ma Chenglong had already become a bloody man at this time. He pushed away the scorpion's corpse, panting heavily, baring Sensen's white teeth, and pounced on the wooden tree, biting his throat in one bite.
With a "poof", blood spurted wildly from Mu Shu's throat, and the whole person slowly became paralyzed.
Crippled five was startled by Ma Chenglong's madness, and when he looked at it, tears couldn't help but roll down. Ma Chenglong had multiple gunshot wounds on his body, and his side ribs were stabbed into the bayonet, leaving only one handle outside.
"Don't move, don't pull it out!" The lame screamed heartbreakingly.
Ma Chenglong stopped raising his hand and showed a relieved smile to Chong Lime. In the afterglow, he saw the twitching Mushu raise his grenade and knock it on the steel helmet.
After the explosion, Ma Chenglong pressed on the crippled five who was knocked down by him, and his back was full of holes, and there were all shrapnel penetrating wounds. He slowly turned his arm back, trying to touch what had become on his back, and the huge vertigo felt like a well devouring his sanity, which made him realize that he might not be able to survive this time.
"Lao Tzu left first." Ma Chenglong finally said this.
......
Chen Yueyang, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, finally found Ma Chenglong shirtless with a gun, and when he saw Ma Chenglong lying on the ground, he squatted on the ground and cried. The war had been fought to such an extent that his efforts were undoubtedly beyond the bounds of a tether, and he had done so bravely, but he never felt how proud he was.
Looking at Ma Chenglong lying on the stretcher, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, for Chen Yueyang, all this seemed to be related to him, but he couldn't stop it from happening......
Liu Mazi choked in his arms before, and the gunshot wound on his body was also fatal. Cripple wanted to wake him up again, slapped him a few times, and asked him if he had bad legs and feet, and that he couldn't rush slowly? But in the end, the man who was always lame on one leg did not disturb the comrade-in-arms who had been sleeping for a long time, he took off his military uniform as if he was afraid of Liu Mazi's cold, and covered Liu Mazi's body, and let him lie down as comfortably as possible, and then raised his gun and walked towards the direction of the enemy fortress.
Cripple Five didn't get far, and perhaps he himself knew that he couldn't go far, so he fell straight to the top of Pine Mountain. A blazing wave swept through the field, and the last scene he saw was blood and fire that covered the sky.
The destruction of the remnants of the Japanese army lasted until about five o'clock in the afternoon, and Jin Guang Shaozo and several surviving subordinates failed to launch a final charge, and a **** shot shattered their bushido dream forever. In a basement of the enemy fort, Chinese soldiers found six women wearing kimonos with their faces plastered, and the cause of death was potassium cyanide, which was later examined by military doctors.
......
The battle in Songshan finally ended, and the choke point of the Yunnan-Burma Highway was opened.
The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force breathed a long sigh of relief, and the hanging stone finally fell to the ground. He can finally explain to Chairman Chiang, and he can finally recover his instructions, and he doesn't want to punish his subordinates who are desperately working on the front line.
The battle of Matsuyama was fought too hard, from June 4 to September 17, 1944, for three months, and a lot of troops were invested in this battle. In these three months, more than 4 divisions, 10 and a half infantry regiments, plus artillery and engineers, were invested, with a total strength of about 60,000. This was far more than originally envisaged, with the strength of one division against the plan of 400 Japanese troops.
Although the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force fought with the Japanese army many times, he did not expect that the Japanese army of the Ramon garrison was stubborn enough, and in order to deal with this stubborn enemy, his troops launched 14 offensives successively, and fought countless battles large and small, tens of thousands of shells bombarded the past, the hill was flattened, countless officers and soldiers fought hard, and the mountain turned red, so that it finally occupied the hill, eliminated the defending enemy, and opened up the road.
However, the results of the battle were still brilliant, and the more than 1,300 troops of the Japanese garrison of Lameng, except for 14 people who were captured and 35 people who escaped by chance, the rest were all annihilated.
On the day of the end of the Songshan Battle, the headquarters of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force immediately reported the results of the battle to Chongqing:
"In addition to those buried by the enemy in the ground and not cleared out, I have captured 8 heavy artillery pieces, 4 mountain guns, 2 anti-aircraft guns, more than 20 light and heavy machine guns, 24 antiaircraft machine guns, more than 1,000 rifles, 20 combat vehicles, and 9 automobiles..... Our army has suffered about 7,000 casualties (including more than 5,000 casualties of the main force of the 8th Army). ”
This number makes every Chinese feel a dull pain. In this battle, the Chinese attacking troops paid a heavy price, and the total number of casualties among the troops reached 6,763. That's nearly five times the number of Japanese casualties!
Although Sakaguchi's remark that "it is difficult to capture Matsuyama without paying the price of more than 100,000 casualties" is exaggerated, the Chinese army did pay a huge sacrifice.
The blood of nearly 7,000 people stained Matsuyama red.
Songshan, a verdant mountain covered by primeval forests, has become a bare barren mountain after the baptism of battle. A piece of scorched earth on the sub-plateau, the surface is deeply ploughed, the vegetation is completely empty, and there is no grass for a few years after the war, this scarlet mountain is a monument to the martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War built by blood and fire.
Years later, scenes of war are often recreated here......
On the rainy night in July and August, the mountain wind will hear the fierce sound of guns and soldiers shouting to kill, which is thrilling and terrifying.
This is not a myth, some people say that it is a geomagnetic reflection phenomenon, an echo of the mountains, which reflects the fierce battle scenes of the year through thunderstorms.....
Whether it's true or not, no one will explore.
Exactly: the blood stains the pine mountain and the mountain has a spirit, and the mountain and mountain show the soul of a strong man.
Every Chinese will never forget the heroic martyrs of the War of Resistance.
