Chapter 71: The Remnant Sun Is Like Blood
On the first day of the battle, the Japanese infantry did not attack at all.
Instead, they directly poured fire on the positions at the pass with artillery firepower, and shelled them for almost an hour, waiting until it was already dark.
24 guns, at least more than 700 shells fired, and the three positions at Luowenyu Pass, each position dropped an average of more than 200 rounds.
And that's just the first day.
Perhaps it was because Xifengkou was too hard and hit the Japanese army's head too big and painful, and Xiyi's hope of breaking through the Great Wall was pinned on the direction of Luo Wenyu. According to Liu Lang's observation alone, the two Japanese artillery battalions fired two base shells on the afternoon of the first day and the morning of the second day.
More than 1,000 shells were knocked out without hesitation, which can only show that the Japanese army has much more shells in reserve than this, otherwise it would be so generous with the urine sex of the little short legs who still suck juice in their eyes?
Of course, with so many shells, the next day's attack was naturally ferocious.
After the shelling, the Japanese began their usual pattern, and the artillery finished the infantry attack.
The three successive waves of attacks, mainly based on the puppet army, supplemented by the Japanese army, were obviously aimed at consuming the strength of Luo Wenyu's defenders as much as possible and exposing as many firepower points as possible of the Chinese defenders, so as to carry out artillery strikes again.
After lunch, the Japanese army began a real attack, but even Liu Lang didn't expect him to be so crazy, and he actually invested nearly 3,000 infantry in three infantry brigades to attack the three positions of Luowenyu that were 10 miles wide.
You must know that the Fourth Infantry Brigade has a total of two infantry wings, under the jurisdiction of 6 infantry brigades, and the full strength is only more than 7,000 people, and it must have lost a lot of troops in the Battle of Xifengkou, except for leaving one as a reserve, these more than 3,000 infantry are almost all the available soldiers of his 4th Infantry Brigade.

This product, after only a few attempts, played stud.
Liu Lang, who had been paying attention to the changes in the battlefield, had a heart in his throat. The reason why he did not launch a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery last night was because there is a general psychology among human beings.
It is to arrive in an unfamiliar environment, first of all, to be extremely vigilant. The two infantry squadrons that accompanied the two Japanese artillery battalions surrounded the area where the artillery positions were located, and in addition to deploying one of the infantry squadrons on a defensive position facing south, an infantry squadron was placed on the left and right flanks and even in the direction of the cave where the "death squads" were located.
The defensive circle of more than 400 infantry made Liu Lang have to consider the problem of casualties, if the casualties broke in, the best result would be to blow up a few cannons, which may be a big blow to the Japanese army that has always been proud, but it is useless for the temporary 2nd Division of Luo Wenyu or the 29th Army facing the entire right wing group of the Japanese army.
What are the special forces for the Blade of the Republic, where the concept of special operations has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow? It's a sharp knife, either you don't use it, if you want to use it, you can stab it into the opponent's vital point, so that the opponent is in pain, and at the same time, you can let your main force clean them up.
Giving an opponent a punch or a claw without pain or itching is not the purpose of the fat butterfly from the future.
So, he was waiting, waiting for the best time.
But he didn't expect that the situation on the battlefield was so rapidly changing, even beyond Liu Lang's expectations.
The Japanese launched a decisive attack in the afternoon of the next day.
Looking at the earthy yellow color all over the mountains and fields chanting slogans that spread for more than ten miles, Liu Lang could only hope that the soldiers of the 2nd Division were tough enough to block Suzuki Mitsu's heavy punch.
Liu Lang didn't expect it, and Liu Ruming didn't expect it either.
However, this lieutenant general and division commander with a scholarly face was as brave as he had in time and space, and after reacting, he immediately threw himself into his general reserve, and personally led the guards of the 1st Brigade to the front line, and directly began the decisive battle with the Japanese army.
And Ming Yu also experienced another tragic battlefield in his life, with nearly 5,000 people in two infantry regiments, even the gang and horsemen went to the battlefield, and the lieutenant general and division commander personally carried a knife to supervise the battle.
At the most dangerous time, Ming Yu, who was placed in the second line of defense, could clearly see the hideous faces of the Japanese infantry.
The Japanese infantry had actually reached the first line of defense, and the two sides even engaged in a terrible white-knuckle battle, just before the threat of Japanese infantry and mountain artillery.
As the focus of the attack, Luo Wenyu took the lead in opening a white-knuckle battle at the main pass.
There is such a record in Mingyu's war diary after this battle: When I first arrived at the Luowenyu battlefield, General Liu Ruming gave me a military order, ordering me to stay by his side.
However, I didn't expect that just one day later, General Liu would break his promise, and he settled me in the second line of defense at Luowenyu Pass, 100 meters away from the first line of defense, because of him, to the first line.
With a gun in his left hand and a knife in his right, he stood on the front line. Although he was guarded by more than 20 officers and soldiers of the guard company, as a general commanding thousands of people, he stood on the front line like this, what kind of courage was that.
I am not a soldier, and I cannot judge the right or wrong of his move from a military point of view, but as a Chinese, I admire such a soldier, regardless of whether he is a general or an ordinary soldier on his collar badge.
As the supreme commander, his role in the field is undoubtedly enormous. More than 200 infantrymen had already stormed the mountain, and their bayonets were so bright that my eyes hurt a little.
However, the officers and men of the 2nd Provisional Division were not afraid, they drew out the big swords stuck in their backs and bravely met them.
Yes, just a hundred meters away from me, hundreds of dark blues and hundreds of earthy yellows were intertwined, and I couldn't see the general there, but I could see that dark blues and earthy yellows were constantly falling.
Miraculously, I didn't cry, my hand holding the camera didn't shake, and I didn't cry even when I saw a young soldier with a bayonet in the chest, and the bloody blade coming out of his not-so-thick back right in front of my eyes.
They are exercising their duties, I am performing my duties, they are guarding the land of China with their lives, and I, with my pen and camera, record their heroism, and try to make you who read this text, as well as your children and grandchildren, remember all this.
On such a day, they fell, fell in pools of blood, and their blood soaked the land of the Great Wall.
Sons and daughters of China, I can't ask for anything else for them, I can only ask you, remember them, don't forget them.
The fighting, which lasted all afternoon, hardly stopped, finally retreated the Japanese army.
In my shots, the remnants of the sun are like blood.
