924. Defend Zhanggu Mountain

Later, most of the commanders of the Chinese army just turned a blind eye and acquiesced in the use of rifles to fight planes, and some even fought with their own hands, such as Sangou this time.

However, this time, the devil's plane really came to retaliate, and the next few planes returned again, and they fired at Zhang Gushan again.

It is estimated that the bombers of the Japanese flying team have lost all their bombs and are now returning home, while the fighters escorting the escort are still eager to play in Zhanggushan.

Now three or four escort fighters flew back again, they had no bombs, only machine guns, and they swooped down and strafed back and forth at Zhang Gushan, venting their strong dissatisfaction with the loss of one plane just now.

The three dogs fled back to the cave with a crawl and roll, and let the devil plane fly up and down to sweep and "shoot", anyway, they hid in the cave, and they could sweep and "shoot" as you please, unless you came down.

"Dog's day, I beg you to come down, and I will do it face to face with my grandfather, hide in the sky, and be a ball hero."

Beard stayed on the edge of the cave, staring at these flying planes, and scolded unwillingly.

Without waiting for the devil's plane to fly away, the devil's ground troops had already come, and the first to engage the enemy was the 306th regiment in the forward position at the foot of the mountain, the old unit of Sangou.

Although there is almost no acquaintance in the 306 regiment now, it is estimated that the familiar is the former old regiment commander Zhou Zhidao, who is now the brigade commander of the 151st Brigade.

I miss the days in the Seventh Company of the 306th Regiment very much, when the bold and sincere company commander Hu Hao, and the bull beat Tienon and the big potatoes.

I don't know how Company Commander Hu is doing underground, and he hasn't communicated with Niu Gu for a long time, and I don't know how their Baohuashan Brigade of the Loyal National Salvation Army is developing.

While preparing for the battle, Sangou thought crankily, wanting to go back to the past, but also not wanting to go back to the past, wanting to go back to the warm and relaxed past, not wanting to go back to the dark and tragic past.

In fact, now, it is also going on tragically, this day, when is it a head?

Sangou felt like an ant, rolling and struggling in the torrent of the great era, just to live a rotten life, and could only endure silently, endure this dark and sad day.

……

The Japanese army that continued to attack Zhang Gushan was still the 147th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, and Zhang Gushan was lost in the hands of their first brigade, so they naturally wanted to recapture it themselves.

Although the first brigade was hit by extinction last night, there were also many people who escaped in the dark night, and many people went out, collected before dawn, and now they are organized into the second brigade to take the lead together.

The 306th Regiment has gone through several major battles, and now it is also suffering from heavy losses, and it is estimated that only two battalions of people can fight, including a large number of wounded soldiers.

Now there are almost no soldiers in the army who are not injured, only a little wounded, and if they don't get out of the line of fire, it is impossible for you to get out of the line of fire, and the number of people is very short.

And although the devil is the same, when the number of people is about the same, after all, he still has a great advantage, whether it is the firepower of weapons or the quality of personnel.

At present, there are at least more than 1,000 people in the 2nd Brigade of the 147th Wing of the Japanese Army plus some of the original 1st Brigade, and the people of the two battalions of the 306th Regiment add up to only about 1,000 people.

Even if they defended, they were still very passive, and the Japanese army, supplemented by many weapons and ammunition "medicine" airborne by planes, and 92 heavy aircraft and mortars carried out fire suppression towards the forward positions of the 306th Regiment.

The soldiers of the 306th Regiment were also very heroic, regardless of the devil's artillery and machine guns, they nailed themselves to the position and did not leave, even if they were killed, they kept fighting back, waiting for the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

But in the end, because of the disadvantage of weapons and ammunition, the 306th Regiment had to shrink the defensive line and retreat, making the Japanese army "press" close to the foot of Zhanggushan.

The area of Zhanggushan is not large, and it is not suitable for stacking too many people, otherwise, the enemy will cause greater losses if a shell comes over, and sometimes, there are too many people, which is not useful.

In order to reduce casualties, the 51st Division ordered the main force of the 306th Regiment to withdraw from the Zhanggushan position, leaving only part of the 306th Regiment and the daredevils who stayed last night on Zhanggushan to hold on.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the scorching sun was shining on the bare position of Zhang Gushan, and the foot of the mountain was full of the remains of soldiers who had not had time to deal with the Chinese and Japanese armies.

Since the beginning of the battle, the entire Wanjialing has been engaged in fierce fighting for nearly 10 consecutive days, with more than 10,000 casualties on both sides, and the remains of many soldiers have not had time to be disposed of and buried, so they can only be "naked" and "exposed" in the no-man's land of the positions of both sides.

In October, it was still very hot in the mountainous areas of northern Jiangxi, and the bodies began to decompose within a few days, and the stench of rotting corpses floated over the entire Wanjialing.

Zhang Gushan is even worse, at the foot of the mountain, new corpses are piled up with rotting corpses, which have begun to decay under the scorching sun, and some highly decomposed corpses have begun to give birth to maggots, crawling out of the dead man's nostrils, mouths, ear holes, eyes, etc.

There is no hell on earth.

The noses of the three dogs seem to have adapted to this foul smell now, and besides, no matter how smelly the place is, they are hungry and uncomfortable, and they still have to eat.

Even if the Japanese army ate and attacked in batches and continued to attack Zhanggu Mountain, Sangou and they ate a little dry food on the mountain early with a kettle.

By the afternoon, the Japanese army had begun to "press" the position near the foot of the mountain, and even some positions had been occupied by the Japanese army, so it was our turn to appear.

Sangou counted dozens of people in the Seventh Company and divided them into three groups, that is, three squads of people, led by him, Dogleg, and Beard, and distributed in three directions on the mountainside.

The grenades and Tomosaka bullets collected from the position were distributed to everyone, and although the Tomosaka bullets were not compatible with the medium rifle, they could be used in case of a 38 rifle.

Each person's formal rifle has a base number of bullets, and the three dogs told everyone to save bullets, try to take advantage of the terrain, and deal with the devils, as long as they stay up until the night, it is our world again.

But the devils just didn't want to stay up until the night, and now they began a series of "suicide" attacks, hundreds of people in waves, divided into several echelons, and even the reserves were used, in a straggler formation, launching round after round of charges towards the mountain.

Faced with this situation, Sangou especially regretted not asking Brigade Commander Zhang to pull some more heavy machine guns up, and now although the Seventh Company has a heavy machine gun in his hand, it is still not enough.

The heavy machine gun was "operated" by Leung Kwok-wing, a light machine gunner who had always dreamed of being able to hit the heavy machine gun of the second and fourth of the people, and today finally got his wish, but it was also the most grim moment.

In the face of the swarming devils, Liang Guorong's heavy machine gun played a great role, and its machine gun position was also designed to be very thief.

Originally, there was no hole here, and the entrance to the general Tibetan Soldier Cave was entered on the side, and Sangou dug a hole in the side of the Tibetan Soldier Cave in order to exert the power of this heavy machine gun and the "shooting" surface, which was a temporary fortress.
