Chapter 456: The City of Glory (4)

When sweeping the periphery of Hengyang, although the resistance of the national army was also very tenacious, it was still easy to deal with, but the small hillside marked as X highland on the military map in front of him was cushioned into most of his brigade in the first battle, which made the captain of the 120th wing and Erjilong Dazuo very shocked, you must know that the artillery just now used the field artillery of the two wings, if this is replaced by ordinary national troops, there is no need for infantry charges at all, and it can be directly declared to be taken, and now, not the slightest sign of being able to take it, And it looks like you have to throw people into this bottomless pit.

"大佐は、中国军がこの丘を切って、それを巨な砦にした." (Dazuo, it seems that the Chinese army hollowed out this hill and built it into a huge fortress!) The captain of the devil brigade, who had failed in the attack, reported angrily to Er Kiron.

"見ました!" (I saw it!) )

"Imperial Armyの炮撃は彼らに全く効果がありません、この戦闘は下りていません。 "The Imperial Army's artillery bombardment has no effect on them at all.,This battle can't go on.,Dasa.,We can't fill this place with the lives of the Imperial Army warriors.。 )

"私は考えています!" (I know it in my heart!) In fact, there is no good way to do it, but he can't show his helpless side in front of his subordinates.

"大佐は、空の航空机が来て、何個の飞弾がこの地をblastすれば、こんなに立派なImperial Army の勇士をfuneralり去ってはならない." (Dazuo, if the Air Force planes can come, a few aerial bombs can blow up this place, and we don't need to bury so many excellent Imperial Army warriors!) )

He Jilong didn't know this reason, but he knew very well that since the attack on Changsha, his planes had been entangled by the Sino-US joint air force, and it was still difficult for him to protect himself, so where could he still have the ability to come to help in the war.

"大佐、私ひとりの友人によると、畑俊六commander官はすでに5飛行団を守って、あなたはなぜ、岳に试してみる請求師団長とHeng山commander官に、彼らを助けに来てください、さも派飛行機だけで、小箮野砲は難しいが、中国守军のこの大砦に決定的な打撃の効果を." (Osa, according to a close friend of mine, Commander Shunroku Hata has already sent the Fifth Flying Regiment to Yueyang, why don't you try to ask the division commander and Commander Yokoyama to send planes to help, otherwise it will be difficult to rely on small-caliber field artillery alone to have a fatal effect on this large fortress of the Chinese defenders.) )

"あなたのメッセージは正しいですか?" (Is your message accurate?) He actually knew that the captain of his subordinate team had something to do with it, and it was precisely because he was worried that he would climb on his head, so he would order his brigade to take the lead, if he captured the position of the Chinese defenders, he could not swallow the credit alone, and if he unfortunately died in battle, he also saved a hidden worry of himself.

"間違いない!" (True!) )

The statement of the captain of his subordinate made Heer Jilong's already eager for the assistance of the air force more and more urgent, and he stuck the command knife in his hand into the soil, and said fiercely: "The troops are attacking and suspending the order, and the private is private. (Order the troops to stop the offensive, and I will personally go to His Excellency the Division Commander.) )

Under the stalking of Erjilong, even if he was slapped twice by Iwanaga Wang, he did not flinch, and finally grinded to Iwanaga Wang's telegram to Yokoyama Isa, and it was very smooth to win Yokoyama Isamu's consent, the 44th Flying Team of the Fifth Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army was all dispatched, and the target was the position of the 417th Regiment of the 139th Division marked by the Japanese army on the military map as Heights X, and was called the 33rd Heights in China.

The Japanese planes have not dared to make sorties in broad daylight for a long time, and the P40 battle of the Sino-US Joint Air Force is definitely a nightmare for the Japanese pilots, if it were not for the fact that the number of planes of the Sino-US Joint Air Force was too small, and the Japanese planes would have gained an advantage in numbers, otherwise the 44th Flying Group would never have dared to rush out.

In order to cover the attack of the 44th Flying Group, all the fighters of the 5th Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army were on standby at the airfield, ready to intercept the fighters of the Sino-US Joint Flying Regiment at any time.

Wu Linsheng was born as a scout, and he has a keen sense of the changes on the battlefield, the first wave of the Japanese attack was so ferocious, and the shells were so dense, but after being repulsed, there was no movement, this was the first attack after a truce of nearly ten days, it shouldn't be so simple to stop hastily.

What kind of evil tricks do devils have? The shelling does not work, although the shells can affect everyone's hearing, but the actual damage is not large; What about gas bombs? In the past year or two, the devils have used poison gas bombs very frequently, I heard that in the attack a few days ago, the devils used poison gas bombs, and the troops of the Tenth Army suffered a lot of damage, but fortunately, the sudden heavy rain saved the defenders on the position, and it is not ruled out that the devils will use poison gas bombs again when conventional attacks cannot achieve the effect; What else is there that the devil doesn't use? Wu Linsheng's mind was running rapidly, he was eliminating the common methods used by devils one by one, and finally suddenly found that it seemed that the devil's plane had not appeared in everyone's field of vision for a while.

Although Wu Linsheng did not personally feel the power of the Japanese planes, he had heard a lot from the mouths of Silly Bear and Zhang Xiaohu.

The solid blue brick and stone walls of Nanjing City can be blown down, so how can this earthen fortress supported by giant trees withstand a few hundreds of pounds of aerial bombs? Not only will he not be able to reply to this answer, but I am afraid that it will be unknown if Sun Yumin comes.

Although Wu Linsheng didn't know if there would be a devil's plane coming, he knew that once the real prediction came true, I was afraid that the hundreds of people hiding in this big fortress would be buried alive without the devil's infantry firing.

However, the question is, this big fortress is the foundation of the defenders, and if they can't stay here, then what can everyone rely on to stop the enemy's progress?

Guarding here, the hidden danger will be very big, and it is possible that you will be fumigated to death by poison gas and buried alive by the bomb that collapses the bunker! If you don't keep it, where can you let the brothers of the 417th Regiment go? You can't be a deserter and give up this place where the Third Division has been holding for more than ten days.

Wu Linsheng couldn't make up his mind for a while, and decided to report the situation to the division commander Wang Heng, but before the phone could be connected, he suddenly heard a faint roar in his ears.

This sound is not the sound of a shell breaking through the air, nor the engine of a tank car, nor the sound of a car engine. When Wu Linsheng first heard this voice, he had already made a judgment, the devil plane is coming!

"Everyone retreats to the 34th height, the pillboxes can't be squeezed, and many people dig their own foxholes!" Wu Linsheng made a quick decision and gave the order to retreat, even if this big fortress still has a lot of weapons and ammunition, but now there is no time to carry it, so he can only hope that after repelling the devils, he will dig and carry it again.

"All retreat?" The battalion commander beside Wu Linsheng thought that he had heard something wrong, and asked suspiciously. Wu Linsheng's voice of order was loud, and the voice of the first battalion commander's question was also loud, and some of the soldiers had already run towards the exit, but after hearing this question, they all stopped, and in an instant, hundreds of pairs of eyes looked in his direction.

"That's right, give up here!" Wu Linsheng's answer was very resolute.

"But this is the best place to fight devils, it's a pity to give up!" The commander of the first battalion was a veteran, and he didn't understand Wu Linsheng's intention to let him retreat.

"The devil plane is coming, this is a civil structure, and it can't afford the bombs dropped by the plane, and if you don't withdraw it, everyone will be buried alive." The sound of the planes in the air became louder and louder, and the time left for Wu Linsheng became less and less, he was a little anxious, and roared: "Listen to my order, everyone withdraw from the fortress and retreat to the 34th height." ”

"Commander, you can't lose this place, you take the other brothers to withdraw first, and I will stay with a battalion." The words of the first battalion commander are also very resolute, he is a veteran, he knows very well whether there is this fortress, for the defense of the 417 regiment, there is a world of difference, he also realized that his opposition will have an impact on Wu Linsheng's order, and changed his tone: "Regiment commander, the fierce artillery fire just now failed to blow up this, the bombs thrown by the devil plane may not be able to play a role, you let me take a battalion to stay, if it really collapses, I and the first battalion can be regarded as sacrificing our lives for the country, if it does not collapse, that battalion is the nail of our regiment, The devil doesn't want to step through here! ”

The words of the first battalion commander are very reasonable, Wu Linsheng actually has a trace of fantasy and luck, and he also hopes that this fortress can continue to be embedded here. And now there is no time to persuade the first battalion commander who has made up his mind, he first nodded, then patted the next battalion commander on the shoulder, and said, "Good brother, take care!" ”

"Regiment commander, don't worry, the first battalion will not embarrass the 417 regiment!" The words of the commander of the first battalion were sonorous and powerful.

"All but one battalion were withdrawn to Heights 34!" Wu Linsheng ran out first, roaring as he ran, his mood at the moment was very complicated, knowing that there was more than one bad luck, but he still had a trace of fantasy, maybe this is what every soldier thinks in this era.

In just a few minutes, five Japanese bombers, escorted by more than a dozen attack planes, flew from north to south over Hengyang City, and one of the bombers aimed at the X high ground attacked by the 120th Wing of the Japanese Army.

The terrible air defense siren finally sounded in this empty city on the fourteenth day of the war, although it was in the underground command center, Fang Xianjue still felt that his heart was cool and cool, originally Xue Yue had a telegram to tell him that the Japanese plane had been contained by the Sino-US joint air force, and there was no chance to fly to Hengyang to help the war, but now the deafening explosion outside and the extremely grim air defense siren told him very well that Xue Yue's telegram was a big joke.

"The brothers on the front line have suffered hardship!" It was Ge Xiancai who spoke, he was the commander of the Tenth Division, and his headquarters was stationed on the core highlands of the line from Yueping Mountain to Yanfeng Temple, don't look at the war for so long, except for the previous slight contact with the devil in the periphery of Hengyang, until now, his troops have not really fought with the devil.

"Yes! In particular, the 33rd and 34th heights on the southwestern outskirts of the city will definitely be the most brutal places. Fang Xianjue sighed, he knew very well that if his third division continued to guard there, maybe after today, there would not be a few people left in the third division. He didn't have the slightest luck, but was worried about the 139th Division, after all, they were Sun Yumin's troops, if the first battle into the city even affected the whole army to be wiped out, then when he saw Sun Yumin himself in the future, how to face and explain it!

"The foundation of the 139th Division is good, they originally only had three regiments, but after they were assigned to General Sun, they became a division of four regiments, even if the devil has aircraft and artillery to help the battle, I think it is unlikely that they will break through these two places today!" Ge Xiancai saw Fang Xianjue's brows furrowed deeply, knowing that he was worried about the war over there.

"I hope so!" Fang Xianjue sighed again, since the air defense siren sounded, he had already given up on Xue Yue, the commander of the Ninth Theater, and his promise that some of his reinforcements would arrive soon was all regarded as a fart. It's not that he doesn't respect Xue Yue and doesn't believe his words, it's just that now Fang Xianjue has seen through it, as soon as Changsha is lost, all the departments of the Ninth Theater are thinking about how to protect themselves, and it is difficult for two troops to come to the rescue sincerely, although Xue Yue is the supreme commander of the Ninth Theater, but those who really listen to him are afraid that there are not a few armies, and this has to be counted in his own Tenth Army and Sun Yumin's Twelfth Army.

Wu Linsheng's fantasy was only a fantasy after all, and luck eventually turned into misfortune, and the Japanese bombers circled over the No. 33 and No. 34 heights and dropped all the bombs in the belly, and the bombs weighing dozens of kilograms fell from the sky, drilled straight into the soil, and then exploded.

The first two bombs that hit the No. 33 Heights had not yet caused fatal damage to the civil structure fortress, but when the three bombs hit again, the hollow hillside was finally overwhelmed and collapsed, and all the officers and men of the first battalion, just as Wu Linsheng feared, were completely buried by this endless loess.

"Save a battalion of people!" Wu Linsheng didn't care that the plane of the devil in the sky was still hovering and dropping bombs, and ran out of the reinforced concrete bunker on Plateau 34 first, and ran towards Plateau 33, which was already a short section and had become a dirt bag, even though he didn't have any tools to dig the earth.

"Save a battalion of people!"

"Save a battalion of people!"

…………

The soldiers who ran behind Wu Linsheng were like microphones, spreading his orders all over the 34th Heights, and almost all the soldiers of the 417th Regiment ran out, except for the heavy machine gunners guarding the pillboxes.

Wu Linsheng should be very moved by this scene, because the brothers of the 417 regiment did not abandon the first battalion, braved the huge lethality of the aerial bombs, and came to rescue the first battalion, although they knew that they might not be able to rescue the first battalion, but this brotherhood was enough, as the commander of the 417 regiment, he could bring the troops like this, what regrets!

However, it was precisely because of such a scene that Wu Lin regretted it violently, and he had no right to expose the lives of his brothers to the enemy's butcher's knife in this way.

The reason why Wu Linsheng thought this way was because the devil planes in the sky were still circling, and their artillery fire was coming, which was obviously a "double insurance" bombardment done by the devil commander in order to reduce the casualties of the infantry!
