After the regimental headquarters of the 1085th regiment was relieved, Commander Yang was so angry that he yelled again and again when he saw the devil's unreasonable way of playing, and immediately called the machine gun company to get rid of the devil's rifle artillery.

The commander of the machine gun company, Mu Company, asked someone to pull out the infantry guns captured by the eighth company from the cave, and the infantry guns could be fired in a low pitch, and there was a continuous burst of rapid fire at the devil's infantry artillery, and the devil's infantry cannon was taken down at once.

After finishing the infantry artillery, Commander Mu was afraid that something would change, so he immediately asked someone to pull the cannon back and hide it, and the rest could be done by handing it over to the mortar.

The mortar suddenly came to the devil's mortar and fired quickly, and the devil was unprepared for the attack, and the devil didn't expect that the defenders still had so many treasures to hide.

In this blow, the devil's small artillery unit, even including the grenadier soldiers, suffered heavy losses, and it is estimated that they are all disabled, and unless the people of other units pick it up, they will no longer be able to form combat effectiveness to suppress the firepower.

Once the position of the Eighth Company was liberated from the artillery fire, these brothers immediately shook the dust off their bodies like unbeatable earth dogs, and began to shoot and kill the charging devils.

Most of the devils who touched the hinterland of Yuwang Mountain have been wiped out, and now there is still a stream of devils left, nesting under a rock between the headquarters of the 543rd Brigade and the headquarters of the 184th Division.

This large rock was also slightly excavated by the 184th Division and made into a simple bunker, which happened to be in the dead corner of the upper and lower firing.

Therefore, whether it was the guards of the division headquarters or the guards of the brigade headquarters, they were helpless to take this small group of devils and could not fight them, and the guard battalion of the division headquarters set up mortars to fight, but they still couldn't get into the rock bunkers.

As long as the devils are still resisting stubbornly on the mountain, the devils at the bottom of the mountain will not stop, so Division Commander Zhang strictly ordered the troops to encircle and suppress the troops to quickly eliminate this group of devils.

The leader of this group of devils is Keitaro Hirano Nakasa, who is now holding the command knife left behind by General Shirakawa Yoshinori, and is directing a dozen or so men to hide under the rocks and resist stubbornly.

The fight was so tragic and desperate that Keitaro Hirano wanted to draw his command knife several times and give himself a seppuku understanding, but finally held back the thought.

Even if you fail, even if you die, you have to stick this command knife into the peak of Yuwang Mountain.

But now I can't even get out of this rock bunker, how easy is it to wait until the top of Yuwang Mountain, it's just a fool's dream, Keitaro Hirano sighed, it seems that this sacred mission can't be completed, this is even more sad than his own death.

However, the devils hiding in the rock bunkers are determined to defend this place, even if they starve to death here, they must defend this small stronghold, and maybe they can wait for the day of victory.

And the 184th Division is unwilling to do this, this thorn in the eye, not pulling out the unhappy, Division Commander Zhang asked the staff officer to transfer the mortar master, and Mu Lianfang, the commander of the 1085th Regiment Machine Gun Company, is also among them, let's see how to kill the devil in the cave.

In the end, everyone discussed and found a fulcrum, and Lao Mu operated the cannon himself, firing more than a dozen mortars in a row, and almost every shell went into the cave.

There was a muffled sound, and puffs of smoke came out of the mouth of the cave, and the devils who were on guard at the entrance of the cave were blown to pieces, and the nearby guards rushed over in one fell swoop, and another grenade was thrown in.

Now it is estimated that there is no longer a good piece of meat in it, and when the smoke clears, the guards rushed in to see that all the devils have been blown into pieces, and none of their hands and feet are intact.

In the end, some small objects such as pistols and small notebooks were cleaned up, and a complete command knife was found, which was crushed under the belly of a devil officer.

This knife is the command knife of the Japanese general, and this officer is naturally Keitaro Hirano Nakasa. Afterwards, Division Commander Zhang learned that this knife was a symbol of the Japanese army's bushido spirit and the command knife of General Shirakawa Yoshinori.

After the entire Anti-Japanese War, after the international and domestic battlefields were fought, only the 184th Division of the 60th Army guarding Yuwang Mountain could be handed over the general-level command knife of the Japanese army.

What is of special significance is that this knife was seized from the mastermind of the "9.18" incident, the commander of the Japanese army's "Steel Army" division, and later the Japanese land minister and chief of the general staff of the Japanese invasion of China.

……

After this battle, the devil is no longer able to launch a full-scale offensive against Yuwang Mountain, although the position of Yuwang Mountain occasionally has a little cold gun, but finally lived a few days of clean life.

A few days later, on May 18, the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army completed the task of covering the retreat of the main force of the Fifth Theater and was ordered to withdraw to the west bank of the canal.

Beginning on 26 April, during the confrontation of more than 20 days, Itagaki Seishiro used the most advanced weapons of war of the Japanese army: planes, tanks, artillery, and even poison gas bombs.

Historical records: The cruelty of the battle for Yuwang Mountain is rare in the history of Chinese and foreign wars.

Yuwangshan has endured thousands of shells from the enemy every day, and after the war, he can pick up more than a dozen pieces of shrapnel by grabbing a handful of soil from Yuwangshan.

The blackened remains of the martyrs buried a few days ago were re-opened by shells; The fortifications were blown up, and the soldiers erected the corpses of the enemy and the remains of their comrades.

Before the war, the main peak of Yuwang Mountain was still 126 meters, and now only 124 meters are left!

For more than 20 days and nights, thousands of Yunnan sons and daughters withstood nearly 100 rounds of attacks and surprise attacks, strong attacks, and sneak attacks by several first-class mechanized divisions and regiments such as the Japanese invaders Itagaki and Isogu and the direct and subordinate units of the Second Army in Yuwang Mountain.

In the more than 20 days of life and death, the 184th Division pinned down a large number of Japanese troops on Yuwang Mountain at a huge cost of 3,568 killed officers and soldiers and 1,152 wounded.

It was also the bloody struggle of the 184th Division that brought hundreds of thousands of troops to retreat safely, China's most valuable mobile force, the Chinese nation's breath of struggle, and the capital to continue to persist in the War of Resistance for many years.

Even the Japanese newspapers at the time exclaimed: "Since the start of the war with the Chinese army on September 18, it is really rare to encounter such a fierce charge of the Dian army, disregarding their lives." ”

……

But in history, I don't know why, the Yuwang Mountain Resistance Battle is far less famous than the Taierzhuang victory, or even obscure.

The former Jin Ge Iron Horse, the bloody wind of the past, and the thousands of hatreds of the past dissipated in the mountain breeze of Yuwang Mountain like this.

On the border of the motherland in Yunnan, there is also an old man named Duan Lao, who is in a half-asleep state under the drowsy afternoon sun.

There are still some residual memories, vaguely remembering, how many years ago on Yuwang Mountain, those more than 20 sleepless days and nights were so vague and clear.

The sound of the horn that often wakes up in dreams, the shouting and killing that will never dissipate for a lifetime, and the faint soreness of the wounds on his body still remind himself that there is such an indelible battle.

There are so many brothers, buried there forever, I don't know if they can find their way home, I don't know if their names will also be like the mountain wind of Yuwang Mountain, floating in the air and disappearing into the endless river of time.

I hope they can turn into bloody clouds and fly back to their hometown on the Red Clay Plateau.

And Yuwang Mountain, which has always been standing, even though it is always singing sadly, no one listens.
