Now the 305th regiment has seized and defended a forward position, located in the southwest of Chigang Village, Xiangfuguan, about three miles, the name of this place is very interesting, called Zhang Gunao, and Zhang Gushan of Wanjialing is only one word.

What is even more interesting is that the troops of China and Japan, the 51st Division and the 147th Wing of the 111th Brigade of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, also fought to the death in Zhanggushan nearly half a year ago.

For the Japanese army that was defeated in Wanjialing, it can be said that the enemies are very angry when they see each other, especially in this place where there is only one word difference.

The Japanese army held its breath and wanted to seek revenge from the 74th Army, and now it has been fighting with the 51st Division for several days, winning and losing each other, and on the morning of March 30, the Japanese army once again dispatched aircraft and artillery to attack, and there was a lot of strength to defeat the 51st Division.

It just so happened that the three battalions and eight companies of the three dogs were on the Zhang Gu Nao position, which belonged to the salient between the two armies, and it was a place that the Japanese army had to take.

The 111 Brigade of the Japanese Army suffered a loss of two divisions of the 74th Army last night, and today in the face of two divisions of the Chinese Army, it is not afraid and dares to attack.

A few months ago, the Japanese army only had one division without heavy firepower, and in Wanjialing, surrounded by mountains, it was surrounded by more than a dozen divisions of Chinese troops and fought for many days before it could be regarded as encircling and annihilating most of them.

At present, the 111 Brigade is almost half a division, with heavy weapons such as aircraft, artillery, tanks, etc., and it is still on the plains, and in terms of combat strength, there is no problem in dealing with four or five divisions of the Chinese army.

Therefore, the Japanese army dared to continue to turn back and attack the two divisions of the 74th Army, regardless of whether you were the elite of the Central Army or the strategic reserve army, you must continue to fight.

This time, the three battalions and eight companies fought very hard, and after two days of fighting, the Japanese army discovered the tactical characteristics of the Chinese army, and this time they came prepared.

This time, the tactics of the Japanese army were very simple, no longer breaking through in the middle of the wedge, but marching step by step, relying on aircraft, artillery and tanks, steadily and steadily, and building a position after a little bit.

The Eighth Company, which bore the brunt of the attack, was constantly encroached upon by the Japanese army, but it was powerless or even afraid to attack back, so it could only constantly shrink its own defense line and troops, and not confront the enemy.

According to Sangou, it is not yet time to confront the hard, first preserve the strength, wait for the order from above, and the opinion of the superior is also to gradually consume the Japanese army first, and then make a final decision.

After a day of fighting, the Eighth Company was about to lose almost its entire position before evening, thinking that it was almost night, and it could take a breath, or make another night attack in the middle of the night to drive the Japanese army back.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army did not wait for the Chinese army to start a night attack this time, they made the first move, and before midnight, the Japanese army bombarded with heavy artillery.

The Japanese field heavy artillery should have been calibrated during the day, so it could be very accurate in the dark, and it blew up many positions of the 51st Division.

As soon as the artillery fire was extended, the Japanese troops who had prepared in advance launched a fierce attack, and the third battalion and eight companies originally wanted to take a breath at night, but this was rushed by the Japanese army, and the remaining little position was immediately lost.

Now it is not only the forward position, but even the second position, that is, the second defense, has also been continuously attacked by the Japanese army, and the Ninth Company is now very hard to defend.

Even if Sangou organized seven companies, while going to support, he wanted to go to the flank, but after thinking about it, forget it, the Japanese army is now on a full-scale attack, and there are heavy troops on the left and right flanks.

Now it is not permissible to send half a company or a company of troops to flank the Japanese army, and such a small number of troops is simply a way for the Japanese army to plug their teeth.

The Japanese army is now also engaged in night battles, and the three battalions of the three dogs are very embarrassed, not only the three battalions, but the entire 305th regiment and even the 51st division are very passive.

Fortunately, the Japanese army was not very strong, and besides, after several days of continuous fighting, the physical strength of the soldiers was also a problem, and now it is only half of the battle, and it is difficult to continue.

The Chinese army, on the other hand, was in a state of panic and did not know what the next move of the Japanese army would be, so they could only retreat and wait and see what would happen.

Therefore, the two sides died down in the second half of the night, but the position of the Chinese army still let the Japanese army occupy most of the past, thinking about the Japanese aircraft and artillery during the day tomorrow, Sangou now has a headache.

The next day, March 31, Sangou waited not only for the Japanese aircraft artillery, but also for the Japanese poison gas bombs, which were set off early in the morning.

The regular army of the three dogs is equipped with a certain gas mask, but the number is not available to everyone, and the key is a single model.

To wear a gas mask, you must choose the right model, that is, which kind of gas bomb the enemy uses, which kind of gas mask must be worn. For example, if the other party uses mustard gas bombs and wears an anti-tear gas mask, it will not have much effect.

It's just that most of them are anti-tear gas masks, and the Japanese army released mustard gas bombs this time, which is terrible.

Most mustard gas bombs do not kill people instantly, but they can put a person into a toxic coma within 30 minutes of inhalation, at which point the Japanese wearing the corresponding gas masks can rush in and occupy the position.

You can only use the local method to let everyone drink urine water to reduce the symptoms of poisoning, or tie a wet towel to the mouth and nose to slightly reduce the inhalation of poisonous gas.

The poison gas bombs used by the Japanese army, sometimes mixed with smoke bombs, were aimed at disrupting the positions of the Chinese army, and this time the 74th Army was mostly recruited.

These recruits of the third battalion have been eye-opening in the past few days, and they have seen planes, artillery, and tanks, and now poison gas bombs are also coming, but the smoke bombs released by the Japanese army are sandwiched between poison gas bombs, which is indeed impossible to guard.

As soon as some recruits saw smoke rising, they were so frightened that they hurriedly put on gas masks, or even fled from the battlefield, at this time, the officers themselves wore masks, and verbal warnings were issued, and the effect of firing shots was also average, because there were gunshots everywhere on the battlefield.

There was no way, so I could only run around with some frightened recruits, but the problem was that the recruits were running around, which not only led to me being hunted by Japanese gunners.

What's even more troublesome is that it caused confusion in the command system of the defenders, and the Japanese army took advantage of the situation to kill them, and the soldiers of the third battalion and nine companies resisted desperately, and almost lost their positions.

At the critical moment, Liu Guangyu, the acting head of the 305th regiment, rushed over with the guard company, and at this time, most of the poison gas had almost dissipated.

The guards rushed over, took the seventh company of the three dogs, and killed the position of the ninth company together, everyone held rifles and bayonets, and after several hand-to-hand fights, they finally repelled the enemy, and the position turned into a safe place again.

This time, the three dogs and the three battalions were very embarrassed, first of all, they did not expect that the Japanese army would be able to launch a sudden onslaught after fighting for several days in a row, and even in the case of mutual victory and defeat.

Secondly, everyone has been waiting for the arrival of the night, looking forward to panting and counterattacking at night, but I didn't expect the Japanese army to continue to fight at night, which is really a big support.

Finally, during the day today, the Japanese army's poison gas bombs were not well prepared, and they almost lost the second defense position of the Ninth Company, but fortunately, the regiment commander Liu Guangyu found that something was wrong at the headquarters and brought people over to relieve the siege.
