On the Donkey Ridge, the lieutenant general of the Chinese army turned white overnight because of the heavy casualties of the army under his command.

In fact, the new brigade commander of the 40th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, Major General Yoshio Kamitsuki, who was personally sitting on the front line of Donkey Ridge, was not much better. The eyes that have not slept for 48 hours are also red.

Just as the Chinese generals thought, Yoshio Kamitsuki, who received the order from the division commander to attack the Lackluster Ridge on the right flank of Niangzi Pass, has now not concealed his tactical intentions at all.

Of course, he also has his own confidence.

Looking at the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops on the Niangziguan front, most of the Chinese troops who are miscellaneous armies have not been put in the eyes of Liangfu last month, he has been attacking the Donkey Ridge day and night, not only to open up the roundabout passage of the right flank of Niangziguan, but also to eat up tens of thousands of Chinese divisions in one bite.

Yoshito Takagi wants to go further to the throne of lieutenant general, but he wants to stabilize his position as the commander of the infantry major general brigade last month, and this requires military merit.

However, two days not only disappointed him, but also shocked and unbearable heartache.

The Chinese, perhaps knowing the importance of this place to the Niangziguan defensive line, were even crazier than defending Snow Flower Mountain, and the entire battalion and company were wiped out, but the entire battalion and company rushed to the position. Countless times, the imperial warriors had clearly occupied the position, but they were recaptured by the crazy Chinese counterattack, and even, when they could not recapture the position, their artillery would fire at the position.

Don't they know that there are also their people? Didn't their cruel commanders know that it would demoralize their soldiers, and no one would dare to go to the battlefield and become cannon fodder?

But what broke down last month was that the Chinese soldiers would still rush to the position, and then the shelling would come again. This incomprehensible cruelty finally made the infantry captains at the front refuse to send anyone into the Chinese's positions again, until the Chinese artillery was eliminated.

However, the Chinese artillery was hidden deep in the mountains, and the eight ga's hid more tightly than marmots. Not to mention that the artillery of their own complete superiority could not strike at them, even the planes of the 38th Air Wing could hardly find their traces.

The suicidal defense was terrifying, but what frightened Liangfu even more last month was the performance of the Chinese defenders after they ran out of bullets. They should have retreated, not according to common sense, but all reason.

But they still did not retreat, they lifted the stones on the position and smashed them down as bullets, and miraculously blocked the attack of the Imperial Army, which numbered as many as 200 men. Until the arrival of their support troops.

In two days, the 80th Infantry Wing, which was responsible for the main attack, suffered as many as 900 casualties, and with the casualties of the attack and defense of Xuehua Mountain, one and a half infantry brigades were gone. An infantry wing with 3,800 men and three infantry brigades can almost compete with a strong infantry wing of a Chinese army, but the battle force is less than two infantry brigades.

In front of the position of a miscellaneous division in China, the head was broken.

Last month, Liangfu even had a delusion, is the opponent, who claims to be the most elite German mechanic in China, just a different name to confuse him?

The telegrams from His Excellency the division commander were more and more intensely worded one after another, which made Liangfu last month sit on pins and needles, looking at the lack of donkey ridge that was still resisting in the distance, and secretly resolved that by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, if there was no progress in the battle, then he would make a desperate bet and transfer the main force of the 79th Infantry Wing, which was sitting in the county town of Jingcheng, to the lack of donkey ridge.

With the main force of the entire brigade, launch a final attack on this seemingly shaky but forever rock-solid Chinese position.

He did not believe that an entire infantry brigade that could defeat an army of Chinese would not be able to win a division, and that it was a Chinese miscellaneous division at the end of the crossbow.

"Stupid, stupid!" Fumizaburo Kawagishi, who received Yoshio's request for the entire brigade to attack last month, scolded in the headquarters of the 20th Division in Shijiazhuang. "The county town of Jingcheng is all the baggage bases of our army, and if there is no heavy defense, it will be taken advantage of by the Chinese army, which will put our army in an extremely dangerous situation. Last month, Yoshio was an idiot. ”

According to intelligence, the main force of the Liu Lang Independent Regiment on the Niangziguan Front and the Third Army of the 26th Route Army of the Zhina Army fought a bloody battle with the 39th Infantry Brigade of Major General Takagi, and the battle was extremely stale; The 17th Division was attacked by the 40th Infantry Wing of our 80th Brigade and was overwhelmed; In the south, the main forces of the 26th Route Army, the 42nd Army, the 30th Army and the 27th Route Army, the main force of the Chinese Army, did not dare to leave their positions due to the feints of our 108th and 109th divisions; And its reinforcements from Sichuan Province of the 22nd Army, still on the border between Shaanxi and Shanxi to the war zone, the people of China lack cars, the army composed of peasant troops wants to come to the front line in a short time unless everyone has wings. At least for a week, the Chinese will not have any army that can pose a sufficient threat to our Jingcheng County. The chief of staff of the 20th Division, Kimura Hisazo, pointed to the map and analyzed it to the angry Kawagishi Bunzaburo.

Indirectly, he helped a certain major general to relieve the siege.

There's no way, people don't have a staff officer, and they don't fart loudly, but in the Japanese division, even if the staff officer has a leader, the fart is not very loud. The chief of staff at the level of Dazuo, the brigade commander at the level of major general don't say anything, and the wing commander at the same level of Dazuo doesn't give you a good face, you have to bear it. Who let you, you are just a staff officer to the division commander, but you are the chief officer with more than 3,000 troops under your command?

Yoshito Takagi is already the hardcore of His Excellency the division commander, and the newly appointed Yoshio last month is the development goal of Hisazo Kimura, a major general brigade commander and a chief of staff of Osaku may not be enough to confront the veteran division commander Kawagishi Fumizaburo, but it can suppress others, right?

At this critical moment, Hisazo Kisamura, who was sent by the academy, even if he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, he had to support this major general brigade commander who was suitable for being an ally.

Of course, his analysis is naturally not a lie, and the intelligence of the Empire's senior intelligence agent lurking in the 2nd War Zone is on the desk of Kawagishi Fumizaburo. At this moment, the Niangziguan front, the Chinese can send another brigade, even if they have the ability.

However, what can an infantry brigade of three or four thousand people do? Attack Jingcheng County, which is still garrisoned by a thousand men? Don't laugh at it, the attack of more than 10,000 people defending the infantry wing and 3,800 people is extremely difficult, to attack, isn't that almost like suicide?

Glancing at his chief of staff, Kawagishi Bunzaburo's anger subsided slightly. Of course, he knew that Kimura Hizo's analysis was very correct, and his anger was not actually because the troops of Jingcheng County were withdrawn, but because a wing of the 40th Infantry Brigade attacked a Chinese miscellaneous division with heavy casualties for two days and could not advance an inch, so he took the opportunity to vent his anger.

In fact, not only Yoshio last month, but also the 39th Brigade of Yoshito Takagi on the front line of Niangzi Pass, the battle also embarrassed him. Not to mention that the feint attack turned into a strong attack, and there were heavy losses.

The cascade of casualties in the battle report made him tremble when he saw it. The soldiers who died in the battle did not have time to transport the remains back to the rear, and basically took advantage of the time of the battle to burn them on the spot, and put the ashes into wooden boxes to be transported back by the baggage squadron.

Two days ago, the small wooden boxes wrapped in white cloth that had been shipped back had almost covered the playground.

The 20th Division, which suffered the heaviest casualties since entering China, was almost able to catch up with the 5th Division, which was fighting with more than 200,000 Chinese troops in the northern direction of Shanxi and Jin.

Not to mention the strict order that the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters must capture Niangzi Pass and approach Taiyuan, Shanxi, this casualty alone must be covered up by him with victory.

After thinking for a while, Kawagishi Fumizaburo, whose face returned to coldness, nodded, "Kimura-kun is reasonable, then agree with Yoshio last month's opinion, and order him to transfer two infantry brigades and two infantry squadrons of the 79th Infantry Wing to the Lack of Donkey Ridge tomorrow afternoon, leaving two infantry squadrons and divisional baggage wings to garrison Jingcheng County, after capturing the Lack of Donkey Ridge, the whole army repairs for a day to replenish all kinds of baggage, that is, after attacking Niangzi Pass in a roundabout way to Shiyu Town, cooperate with Takagi Jun to encircle the Zhina Army on the front line of Niangzi Pass, especially Liu Lang's independent regiment, Can't let one go. I'm going to hang the fat man's body high on the lady's close, so that everyone in China can take a good look at it. ”

"Hey!" A smile appeared on Kimura Hisazo's face as he lowered his head.

This favor was finally sold by him.

As for how this favor fell into the ears of Liangfu last month, he didn't have to worry about it. can be the commander of the brigade of major generals, which one can be a simple person? Somebody was going to tell him about it.

The battle on the third day of Donkey Ridge was still extremely brutal, and even more brutal.

Japanese reconnaissance planes kept hovering over Donkey Ridge, responsible for finding the mountain artillery battalion of the 17th Division for the Japanese army, which would rather be shot by the superintendent than be "shot" by the Chinese mountain artillery in vain.

Once the mountain artillery began shelling, at least three Japanese bombers would take off from Shijiazhuang and bomb the target positions provided by the reconnaissance planes indiscriminately.

The mountain artillery battalion was reduced to pieces and hid in the mountains, and the artillery bombardment could not last more than eight minutes before it had to be quickly evacuated, and the support for the front line was greatly weakened.

So, reminded by the watermelon, the front-line troops of the 17th Division also used suicide explosives bags to ambush them, as long as the Japanese army stepped into the position, it was to die with the enemy, and if one did not work, then two, or, three, four.

Throughout the day, the 17th Division suffered another 1,000 casualties.

The battle lasted until dusk, and the commanders of the five infantry regiments, only 2 people remained, and the commanders of the fifteen infantry battalions suffered nearly two casualties, and the company commanders couldn't bear to read that number.

The Japanese army finally waited for its own new force, two fully equipped infantry brigades of more than 2,200 people, plus two infantry squadrons of 400 people, lack of donkey ridges, not counting the rest of the troops, the Japanese army only infantry, the total strength of the total strength is as high as 4,800 people.

The number of people has already exceeded that of the 17th Division.

The 17th Division, at this time, had more than 12,000 people in the division, and only 5,000 remained.

More than 7,000 were killed and seriously wounded in battle.

PS: There are children's boots in the book review area who say that Fengyue's progress is too slow, and a battle will have to fight seventy or eighty chapters, and he likes to describe details, although he is very enthusiastic and moved, but he will eventually be aesthetically tired. Here Fengyue hopes to explain a little, Fengyue hopes to use the battle of the little people to set off the purpose of the entire war, that is, to hope that those predecessors who should not be forgotten are not just simple cold numbers. The 102nd Regiment, the 5th Company, and the 9th Company written by Fengyue are all battles in real history, Fengyue just hopes, those heroic martyrs, I know you, they should never be just names on the tombstone, not just numbers. They deserve, in your hearts and mine, to be remembered forever.

I'm sorry everyone.,Fengyue is a very emotional person.,The more information you consult.,The more Fengyue can't do it with the number of killings and injuries of a large number of Japanese criminals to increase the coolness of the article.,That history,It's a history that people can't bear to read.,It's a history of flesh and blood.。
