As mentioned above, looking down from the sky, Dameishan is like a huge crab, and the mountains and mountains in Guanxian County in the north are the huge body of the crab, and Qingniuling and Qingfengling are like crabs' big pincers, and like human arms, surrounding a small basin, and this basin with a radius of 100 miles is the Meihe Basin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The intersection of the two crab pincers is the Shaqiaogang Fortress.

On the outside of Qingniuling and Qingfeng Ridge, there are several stretching mountain ranges, these stretching mountains are like eight crab legs, guarding the safety of Qingniu Ridge and Qingfeng Ridge, and now the Kumamoto Division is confronting the main force of the Dameishan Military Division under the crab legs on the far left.

The position of the Osaka Division's current attack is the end of the remaining veins of Qingniuling, that is, the front end of the majestic pincer on the left, about five miles away from the Shaqiaogang Fortress, although the mountain here is steep, but it is not thick, and there is only a towering mountain beam in front of the Japanese army, as long as you climb over this mountain beam, you can launch a dive attack on Meixian from a high position.

Originally, this mountain beam was covered with half-man-high bushes, most of which were thorns, and it was very difficult to deal with them.

But now, these thorn bushes have been blown away by the devils.

The thorn bushes were burned, and the only thing that hindered the Japanese attack was the steep mountain, but the mountain here was not so steep that it was difficult for humans and beasts to walk, and the slope was at most 60 degrees, and the Japanese could still carry out an upward attack.

Although the Japanese tanks could not climb such a steep hill, they could park their tanks at the foot of the hill and use the slope of the mountain to raise the body, and then the tank's main gun and vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun could provide fire support to the infantry attacking on the back.

In addition, the Osaka Division also had a field artillery wing with thirty-six 75mm and twelve 105mm field howitzers, which posed a great threat to the defenders on the ridge.

After a fierce battle day and night, the special service regiment that rushed from the Soviet-Chinese Military Region for reinforcements had already suffered nearly one battalion casualties, of which more than 100 were killed.

Xiao Yanyue came up with supplies, just in time to see that the devil's attack was repulsed.

At that moment, Xiao Yanyue asked Luo Zhongyi, the chief of staff of the Soviet-Chinese Military Region who led the team, and said: "Chief, how many times has this been the little devil's attack?" ”

"This is the ninth attack of the little devils." Luo Zhongyi first answered Xiao Yanyue's question, and then continued, "And Yanzi, how many times have I told you, don't call me the chief anymore, just call me Lao Luo." ”

"How's that going to work?" Xiao Yanyue said, "You are the chief." ”

When Xiao Yanyue first participated in the revolution, Luo Zhongyi was already the commander of the Red Army, and the two were also old acquaintances, Xiao Yanyue has always been called Luo Zhongyi.

Seeing that Xiao Yanyue insisted on calling the chief, Luo Zhongyi didn't say anything more.

Then he turned the topic back to the battle in front of him and said: "Yanzi, the quality of the grenades produced by your Dameishan Arsenal is really good, better than the grenades produced by the Jinling Arsenal of the National Government, but we have already said that when we go back, you have to send us a hundred boxes of grenades, which will be regarded as the wages of our special service group working for your Dameishan Military Division, hehe." ”

"Chief, look at what you're talking about, a hundred boxes of grenades are nothing." Xiao Yanyue said, "When our commander comes back, there will definitely be a big gift." ”

"Really?" Luo Zhongyi smiled, "That's really thankful." ”

Xiao Yanyue smiled, but the expression on her face quickly became serious, and she asked again: "Chief, the pressure is not small." ”

Luo Zhongyi hummed lightly, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain fire that was still burning on one side of the mountain, and said to Xiao Yanyue: "The main thing is the mountain fire, if you don't try to extinguish it, the gap suitable for the devil's attack will become bigger and bigger, and then our defensive pressure will be greater and greater, and when our forces are diluted to a certain extent, it is very likely to collapse, which is like a rubber band, if you keep stretching, it will definitely be pulled off in the end." ”

"Not really." Xiao Yanyue said, "Lao Liu sent a telegram back just now, they have rushed to Mawandu, and they will be there soon, as long as Lao Liu and the Minfu team arrive, they can build a fire road in front to cut off the mountain fire." ”

"That's fine." Luo Zhongyi said, "If the gap does not continue to expand, we can hold on for at least two more days, and after two days, the situation is not easy to say." ”

Xiao Yanyue said: "Chief, it's really not good, I have transferred the workers' pickets and the student training corps, although they have not received much formal military training, but after all, there are still more than 2,000 people, and they can still withstand it for a while." ”

"Let's see first." Luo Zhongyi said solemnly, "As long as there is still one person in our special service group of the Soviet-Chinese Military Region, we will not ask the workers and students of your Dameishan Military Sub-district to go to school, and you will go again when our special service group is exhausted." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yanyue nodded heavily.

Nanjing, Fanghua Garden.

Riverside Zhengsan's face sank like water, staring at the simulated sand table in front of him for a long time.

Jun Nakamura quietly walked over, stood beside Shozo Riverside, and whispered, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Osaka Division has just sent a telegram. ”

Kawabe Shozo's eyes rolled, and he asked hoarsely, "What do you say?" ”

Nakamura Toshicho said, "General Miyake has made a decision not to withdraw his troops!" ”

Kawabe Shozo breathed a sigh of relief, Miyake Toshio finally didn't drop the chain at this critical moment, otherwise, if Miyake Toshio chose to evacuate the battlefield at this time for the safety of the Osaka Division, his entire sweeping plan by Kawabe Shozo would be over.

At that time, Toshio Miyake will not be punished in any way for evacuating from the battlefield, but he will be removed from his post for the failure of this sweep, and even sent to a military court for trial, after all, during his tenure as chief of staff of the Central China Army, he has caused great losses to the Imperial Japanese Army and the Empire.

Jun Nakamura hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, please forgive me for being blunt, although General Miyake has decided to continue the attack, with the pitiful combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division, it may be more practical to expect them to make a breakthrough, it is better to expect the old sow to go up the tree." ”

When the river side heard this, the look on his face was gloomy again.

Indeed, the combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division is really flattering, in Pu County, the 170th Infantry Wing plus a tank squadron, against the Chinese one regiment, one regiment, the Chinese have only one regiment, but the result?

As a result, the 170th Infantry Wing was actually wiped out!

Moreover, what is even more unbelievable is that from the beginning of the battle to the end, it took less than four hours in total, and the 170th Infantry Wing was not able to hold out even for a night.

Therefore, Nakamura Jun's worries are very reasonable, and the Osaka division is afraid that it really can't be counted on.

However, the situation is already like this, and who can be counted on but a breakthrough by the Osaka Division? Counting on the Kumamoto Division?

Also, now we can only count on the Kumamoto Division, in any case, the Kumamoto Division is also one of the two most capable of fighting among the seventeen permanent divisions of the Great Japanese Empire, although in the Battle of Hijo half a year ago, the Kumamoto Division has just suffered heavy losses, but the Kumamoto Division is the Kumamoto Division after all, and the legend is still there!

At that moment, the river side Zhengsan shouted: "Order, the Kumamoto Division no longer has to make senseless entanglements with the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment on the periphery of Qingniuling, let them immediately go deep into Qingniuling, and set fire to the deep mountainous area where the other party has not had time to build a fire road!" Tell Okabe Naosaburo that he will burn down the primeval forest of Qingniuling no matter what. ”

"Hello!" Toshishi Nakamura paused.

(Dividing Line)

Shozo Kawabe ordered the Osaka Division to continue the attack, and Toshio Miyake chose to obey.

Kawabe Shozo then ordered the Kumamoto division to go deep into the Blue Cow Ridge to set fire, but this time, it was rejected by Okabe Naosaburo without hesitation.

"Baga Yalu, continue to go deeper? Sent to death? Okabe Naosaburo said angrily, "Shozo Kawabe, this idiot, will only sit in the war room of the headquarters and give orders, he will never know how dangerous and difficult the wolf's fangs are!" ”

In the past few days, when the Osaka Division and He Shuya's three regiments were fighting lively, the Kumamoto Division was actually not idle at all, but had been sending troops to set fires, and at the same time attacking the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment on the opposite side as much as possible.

However, in these battles, the Kumamoto division was always at a disadvantage, and almost never won a single skirmish, the key was because the wolf fangs were too difficult.

In the jungle terrain, the wolf's fang is simply invincible!

In fact, Okabe Naosaburo's caution was right, if the Kumamoto Division chose to obey the orders of Kawabe Shozo and rashly entered the deep mountains of Qingniuling, then it would immediately repeat the mistakes of the Osaka Division, and the logistics support line of the Kumamoto Division would definitely be cut off by Xu Rui!

Even if He Shuya cut off the logistics support line of the Osaka Division, he could not pose a threat to the Osaka Division in an emergency, because the troops in He Shuya's hands were very limited, but if the logistics support line of the Kumamoto Division was cut off by Xu Rui, what could he do to wait for the Kumamoto Division to be the end of the destruction of the entire army.

Xu Rui holds the main force of the Dameishan Military Division in his hands, and he also has wolf teeth!

Shigetoku Shigeta, a staff officer of the Kumamoto Division, said: "Division commander, how do you reply to the headquarters?" ”

Okabe Naosaburo snorted and said, "You just said that we were stubbornly blocked by the main force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment at the foot of Qingniu Ridge, and the progress was not smooth, but please rest assured that once progress is made, we will immediately continue to move forward!" ”

Shigeta Shigetoku was stunned, and was about to turn around to leave but Okabe Naosaburo shouted, Okabe Naosaburo asked: "Shigeta-san, when will the weapons and ammunition transferred from the Second Army arrive?" (To be continued.) )
