Two infantry brigades of the 3rd Army passed through the positions of the 78th Infantry Wing one after the other, along the road, and pursued the Japanese.

And all this was undoubtedly a difficult choice for the infantry captain of the 78th Wing of the Japanese Army, who was sent to support the 26th Artillery Wing, five miles away from the Japanese position.

When the howling of the 105 howitzer crossed overhead, he immediately telegraphed the wing headquarters, but did not receive a reply, the ominous shadow filled his mind, the wing headquarters did not reply and could only telegraph the brigade headquarters, the brigade headquarters also remained silent, some panicked Japanese soldiers had no choice but to telegraph directly to the division headquarters, but the reply was to obey the military orders of the wing headquarters, and the reinforcements from Jingcheng County would immediately set off from Jingcheng to assist the front line.

Faced with the fact that the positions of the brigade headquarters and the 26th Artillery Wing may have fallen, the Wing Headquarters and 2000 colleagues may be hiding from this huge possibility in the artillery fire of the Chinese, either returning to the front line to meet the Wing Headquarters, or continuing to reinforce the 26th Artillery Wing and the Brigade Headquarters, which are no more than ten miles apart, or ignoring neither and running towards the county town of Jingxi, this Japanese Major Zuo, who originally had three choices and was extremely contradictory, finally chose to carry out the military order and continue to reinforce the brigade headquarters.

For him, the commander of the Shaozo, this is the safest way, no matter what the situation of the battle is, at least, he has not disobeyed the military order.

But for the 1,100 people of this infantry brigade, the captain of this infantry brigade chose a completely desperate road. The future general has led the 771 regiment from the Japanese artillery position to the four miles away from the already selected blocking position, their task is not to ambush, but to block the coming Japanese troops on both sides of the road and the road, shelling Niangzi Pass and Jiuguan front line of the eighteen cannons are adjusting the muzzle and gun distance, respectively pointing to the predetermined blocking positions on both sides, no matter how many enemies come, the crazy artillery will let them know that without trenches and fortifications, the speed of the Japanese army's ashes is not much slower than a group of stragglers.

This time, instead of the mortars encountered by the 40th Infantry Brigade in the mountains before the siege of Qigan Village, the Japanese were able to resist stubbornly with the help of the mountain terrain and natural cover.

This time, the Japanese army will face a 105 howitzer that can flatten a hill by more than ten centimeters, and even hundreds of kilograms of boulders can be swept out more than ten meters away under the violent air waves. Behind them, there were two infantry brigades of the Third Army and two infantry regiments personally led by the commander of the 129th Division, and the total strength of the seven infantry regiments of one and a half infantry divisions involved in the attack was as high as one and a half infantry divisions.

The comparison of troops, as high as 12 to 1, not to mention, the heavy artillery pointing in the direction of their advance is 5 105 howitzers and 8 field guns, if that Xigang Shaozo is lucky enough to know, I am afraid, there is no pride, only despair that goes deep into the bone marrow.

This is not to annihilate them at all, but to completely block the deep mountains and prevent them from escaping alone.

Of course, even if the other two paths were chosen, the fate of this infantry brigade would not be much better, but it would not be so annihilated, and fleeing into the mountains like a frightened hare, there would always be lucky ones who escaped.

Yes, when Nishigang Songtai made this choice, the only remaining infantry brigade of the 78th Infantry Wing was already destined to see the sun of tomorrow. Because he didn't know that the person who sent him the telegram back was still the Shaozuo Brigade Captain of the Communication Brigade of the Division and Regiment Headquarters, Xiyuansi Gongyi, but the one who could make the telegram was Liu Lang and Liu Tuanzuo.

The exact same message was replied to in two copies, one for him and one for Lidengxingichi. It's just that Dazuo-level carp Dengxing chose to refuse, but poor Shaozuo could only execute it head-on.

Carrying out the military orders issued by the Chinese commander, he will not die, and it is impossible to say that he will not die.

In fact, the Liden Xingdazuo, who chose to refuse the order of the division headquarters and quietly changed the route of the march, was even more painful than him, and the Chinese were so cunning that they had laid a defensive line in the inaccessible mountains. Once again, he had to face a difficult but unknown choice, a choice that would determine the fate of more than 1,600 Imperial Japanese Army.

The whole large army had stayed for more than 30 minutes one mile before the hill where the Chinese was found, and the four small detachments that had gone to the left and right to reconnoiter had only returned less than 20 people, and the results of the reconnaissance were placed in front of the anxious Lidengxing Dazuo, Chinese the defense line laid out in this mountainous area was more than 1,000 meters long, and the area where there were no Chinese soldiers moving was either a cliff or a cliff, and they wanted to take a detour, unless the big guys all put on their wings and became ----- birdmen. Or, to be an angel of the Western world? Or birdman.

After 30 minutes of waiting, the Japanese army had no choice, and could only attack the Chinese defense line, rush over, live, and if you can't rush through, you will die.

Liden Xingyi already believed that the Chinese on the front line of the old pass were pursuing with all their might, and he had even heard the shouts of more than 3,000 people to kill, and the Chinese looked at him with hatred.

In front of his eyes, he appeared, when he stood on the position, coldly watched his cavalry drive the war horse to trample back and forth on the body of the wounded Chinese soldier, a Chinese wounded soldier because of the horse's hooves on the chest, the sternum was broken, the huge pain made his eyes almost completely bulge, just like that staring straight at him.

He did not spare the Chinese, and the Chinese would not let him go either, just as the Independent Regiment also hung more than 200 people from the 28th Cavalry Wing from Okazaki Shoichi Nakazo to the woods in front of the old pass as wind chimes in retaliation.

I couldn't help but shudder, and the Japanese army Dazuo first issued a military order to "burn" the wing flag. On the rugged mountain road, when there was no longer a "burning" of the military flag, the flag guards marched in unison in front of the imperial warriors, that is, the lieutenant of the flag guard took out the carefully kept wing flag and flagpole, poured oil, lit the fire, and turned into a cloud of ashes under the gaze of a limited number of officers.

It's not that Kotoden doesn't want to pay tribute to the flag given by His Majesty the Emperor himself, but because the mountain road is too narrow, and it is a little difficult for the two people to stand on it, and if the flag guards want to start walking in a queue, everyone else, including him, the captain, has to jump up the mountain and hold the trunk of the tree to watch the ceremony.

What does that look like? A group of monkeys?

The second military order of the Japanese army who did not want to be a monkey was to gather the whole army, and the infantry was divided into four infantry squadrons, a baggage squadron and a heavy machine gun squadron, which were divided into two routes, and the heavy machine gun squadron and the baggage squadron were divided into two and assigned to the two offensive troops, forming an attack formation with the baggage team as the vanguard, followed by two infantry squadrons in the rear, and then the rear was covered by heavy machine gun fire in an attack formation to attack the temporary blocking position of the first battalion of the independent regiment.

In the rear, the artillery squadron, which had already carried infantry and mountain guns up the hillside, poured a small number of shells on the hill occupied by the first battalion before the two attacks began.

I have to say that the captain of the wing is still qualified, at least, he did not throw away the mountain artillery and infantry artillery that the Japanese army relied on for survival in order to flee for his life. Otherwise, at this time, no matter how desperately the Japanese army is, it will only be like a fish caught in a big net, and the final outcome will only become a dish in the bowl of the Chinese soldiers.

But with the help of these two mountain guns and infantry guns, it was different, and in the fire of several guns, the fire broke out on the two hills, and the hastily built sandbag fortifications were blown into a mess.

However, when their own artillery fire had not completely stopped, the Japanese army attacked the first commanding heights in the lead charge of the baggage soldiers who were already destined to be cannon fodder with a tragic face.

The Japanese army was very clever and did not take advantage of their own fire to suppress the Chinese and rushed towards the mountains, knowing that once the Chinese slowed down and fired condescendingly with machine guns, almost no one could escape within a radius of several hundred meters. They must seize one or two commanding heights in order to ensure that most of their people escape into the mountains, and at that time, it will be the real dragon returning to the sea, depending on who can escape.

The Japanese soldiers, who often practiced endurance, were very confident, and they were very strong when it came to running away. Although it is a bit embarrassing to use the marching ability that he was once proud of to run away, at this time, no one can care about it. Short legs also have the advantage of short legs, and the frequency is fast, isn't it?

In half an hour, the dozens of casualties paid by the Japanese soldiers were not wasted, although they did not find a way for the army to bypass the Chinese army's defense line, but it had already allowed Liden Xingyi to draw a rough map of China's defense line according to the area where the Chinese army fired.

On the nearly 1,000-meter defense line, the Chinese take the commanding heights of the mountain peaks as the point, and five or six commanding heights that are staggered with a distance of 200 meters are connected to each other to form a line, maybe there are still in the rear, but that is a matter for the future, if you can't break out of this line, you won't even have the qualifications to see the Chinese behind.

The two offensive routes he chose were not between the two mountains in the middle where they would face a joint attack from two commanding heights, but the flanks of the entire defensive line, one on the left and one on the right. If you take any of these hills, maybe all the armies will escape from it.

Two mountain guns and four infantry guns were carried up two hills 800 meters away by the artillerymen with great difficulty, and bombarded the two hills that had already planned to attack. The Japanese troops, who had already been mobilized, rushed towards the target, with more than 100 heavy troops in the front, followed by an infantry squadron, and an infantry squadron responsible for flanking the Chinese army from the aid of the Chinese army on another hill more than 200 meters away.

This defensive line of defense on the top of the hill seems to be strong, but it is also very weak, and they cannot afford to continue to throw troops into one of the hills. As long as one of these points is captured, the entire line of defense will be torn apart, although it will not collapse, but at least it will be like a big net that has been torn open, and it will no longer be able to stop the escape of the fish in the net.

The idea of a dozen carp is good. If he had encountered an ordinary Chinese army, he might have been able to watch him capture one of the mountains despite heavy casualties, and then cover the main force to jump into the mountains and flee. You know, Liden Xingyi was mentally prepared for an infantry squadron with more than 200 casualties in front of the Chinese position.

It's a pity that he met the Separate Regiment, and it was the main battalion of the Separate Regiment.

Not only did they have artillery, but a battalion also had artillery, and although it was not as large as the caliber of the Japanese army, it was much more numerous.

In order to ensure that there was still enough fire support in the light state, Ye Zifei ordered to take away all the 60 forced that could be collected before departure, including the 60 forced that was given to the 772nd regiment, and all of them were temporarily borrowed, and finally 20 doors were collected and distributed to all the fire platoons left behind by the 82 forced forces.
