Although the losses of the 423rd Regiment on the position were not as large as those of the 417th and 422nd Regiments, it was still a little overstretched to defend the defensive line of the original two regiments with the strength of one regiment.

The strength of your own defense has decreased, and the strength of the attacking devils has increased, although this decrease and increase may not seem like much, but in fact it is a big difference.

Shi Zhonghua was not treated well by division commander Li Zhaoying when he was in the 139th Division, let alone Li Jingrong, who exercised the post of army commander, he was simply a transparent person in the eyes of these two people. If you can't get the reuse of your boss, you can't get the respect of your subordinates if you have no real power, and although you are very idle every day, it's not the life you want.

After the 139th Division was placed under the jurisdiction of the 12th Army, Li Jingrong and Li Zhaoying took away a lot of people, and he naturally would not be taken away, as the deputy division commander, the troops were handed over to him to command, and he was really comfortable in those days when he led the 139th Division to be built, this is what he wanted, this is what he looked forward to.

originally thought that he had survived his head, and when he arrived in the Twelfth Army, the position of the commander of the 139th Division belonged to him, but he didn't expect that when he was appointed, he was still a deputy division commander, but Wang Heng, who was originally his subordinate, jumped up and became his equal.

Although Wang Heng was very disappointed, he did not abandon himself, he still performed his duties, the division commander is the army commander, naturally he will not be here for a long time, although he is a deputy division commander in name, he is exercising the position of division commander, and the army commander has not restricted himself by anything, which is much better than the period of Li Zhaoying and Li Jingrong.

Shi Zhonghua is a good-looking person, the blocking on the edge of Sixi and the strong defense in the first half of the day have already made the other deputy division grow into the limelight, if he can't even resist a wave of enemy attacks, wouldn't it be so embarrassing that he can't see people.

Therefore, even if he and the soldiers on the position were almost unable to stand it, he still did not ask Wang Heng who had withdrawn for help, not only that, but Shi Zhonghua also gave a death order to let the whole regiment and the position live and die together.

This is not to say that Shi Zhonghua gave orders for his own selfishness and for his own face, even if there is a little bit of this factor, it is definitely not the reason why he did not ask for help. The reason why he didn't ask Wang Heng to come with reinforcements with the two regiments that had been withdrawn was because the 417th and 422nd regiments themselves had already suffered heavy casualties, and they had only been withdrawn for a while, and Shi Zhonghua couldn't bear to let them come up again; Second, because the sky will soon be dark, this wave of attacks by the devils will definitely be the last wave of today, as long as it is passed, the 139th Division will be considered to have completed the task.

The 423rd Regiment burst out with amazing combat effectiveness and perseverance, but it was still useless, the devils had already rushed up, so close that Shi Zhonghua could clearly see the faces of those devil soldiers with bayonets and 38 big covers. This is still thanks to the strong firepower around him, with a heavy machine gun and a light machine gun, like in some positions a little farther away, the devil soldiers have already rushed into the trenches, and both sides have begun hand-to-hand combat.

A stream of enthusiasm rushed straight into Shi Zhonghua's head, he knew that he had made a mistake, he shouldn't be too big, thinking that with the 423rd Regiment he could firmly hold this position, he ignored the length of the battle line, and used one regiment to defend the position of two regiments, so that the troops were too scattered, and the firepower could not suppress the enemy at all. Now, the devil has rushed up, and Shi Zhonghua only has one thought left, and the position can't be lost in my hands. He threw down the Czech style that had run out of bullets, and took out a pistol from the gun box on his waist, a Browning M1910 pistol with a capacity of seven rounds of "Huakou Picker", which was the standard equipment for officers at and above the battalion level of the national army. After handing over the pistol to his left hand, Shi Zhonghua picked up a Chinese rifle, its original owner was now lying in a pool of blood, Shi Zhonghua took off the bayonet inserted in the leggings of this corpse of the national army, accurately stuck it in the card slot under the muzzle, and shouted to the officers and soldiers beside him: "Brothers, the time has come to kill yourself, follow me to kill the devil." ”

But at this moment, there were fierce gunshots from the front and back, left and right, and they were all familiar to him: Czech and formal.

When Iwanaga saw the troops rushing to the defenders' position through the binoculars, his mouth was crooked, and he made a big speech to several officers beside him: "この中国軍は強い力を持っているが、Imperial Army㙸㻍の相手ではなく、ここを攻め落とした." His Excellency the Tomorrow Division Commander のbrigadeを待たずに、私たちは、中国军の孙玉民部のGuidance 部を杀すことができて、このChineseに戦神に宣伝されている人をcatchすることができます。 (This Chinese army, though tenacious, was no match for the Imperial Army, and if it was captured, it would be within easy reach of the high city.) I don't think we have to wait for the large army of His Excellency the division commander to come tomorrow, and our Iwanaga detachment will be able to destroy the headquarters of Sun Yumin's department of the Chinese army and capture alive this person who is touted by the Chinese as the god of war. ）

But before he could stop laughing, the situation of the battle suddenly changed sharply, first hearing the fierce gunfire erupting from the defenders' positions, and then seeing the soldiers who had already rushed to the position, they began to run down desperately.

Iwanaga was still laughing at this moment, his mouth wide open, but after seeing this, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth even more.

“まさか。？” (How so?) He asked himself, and the telescope in his hand was raised again, and through the lenses, he could clearly see that the broken blue sky and white sun flag, which had fallen to the ground, was fluttering again, and under this flag, several Chinese soldiers were busy, as if fixing it. And more Chinese soldiers, standing above the positions, kept firing at the soldiers of their own brigades who had retreated.

"兵を引き取って,部隊を後方に引き入れなさい!Todayは攻め続けるのではなく、明日師団長阁下は炮兵Teamを持って来て、ここの中国军を片付けています." (Collect the troops, let the troops retreat two miles!) Today it is impossible to continue the offensive, and tomorrow His Excellency the division commander will come with the artillery wing, and then pack up the Chinese troops here. Iwanaga reluctantly gave an order to the staff officers around him, and he selectively forgot what he had just said about capturing Sun Yumin alive.

Iwanaga thought too simply, he thought that by retreating two miles and sending out a guard, he and his troops would be able to spend the night in peace. Even if the 139th Division, which had been attacked by him for a whole day, was unable to launch an attack, could that mean that Sun Yumin did not have troops in his hands that could launch an attack? Of course not, the new 34th Division, which was formed with the Huoshan Independent Detachment under Sun Yumin, was already eager to try, especially Dong Wenbin's artillery regiment and the Seventh Regiment, which was fully equipped with American equipment, were like tigers that had not seen the smell of blood in January, just waiting for Sun Yumin to open the "cage" that locked them up.

After Wu Linsheng sent the news that Dahe Mao's headquarters had completely entered the range of Dong Wenbin's artillery, Sun Yumin immediately issued an order for Li Tiedan to take the first and second regiments to block the opening.

As an old man who has been with Sun Yumin for a long time, Silly Bear was already a brigade commander in the 20th Division, and he personally led two regiments to undertake this most arduous task, coupled with the assistance of Li Tianxi and Huang Wei, he should not let Da He Mao run away.

The troops have been preparing, so after Sun Yumin gave the order, he has been waiting for news in the command headquarters.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless, not only Sun Yumin, but also the three divisions of the entire Twelfth Army participating in the battle.

The news came one after another, first the various units of the 34th Division of Oka Shigeru stopped advancing and began to camp to prepare for rest, and the coordinate information of their location was quickly sent to Dong Wenbin's hands; Then it didn't take long for the 1st and 2nd regiments of the new 34th Division led by Li Tietan to complete the arrangement of the plugging.

The time was ripe for an attack, Deng Dongping picked up the telephone in the temporary headquarters, the telephone of the artillery regiment and the seventh regiment had already been connected, and Dong Wenbin and Dai Cunxiang personally held the microphone and waited for Sun Yumin's order.

The battle plan for this battle was first adjusted because of the weather, then because of the moles, and finally because of the devil's plane. Now, it is finally time for a decisive battle, no matter what the final result will be, but the 12th Army will definitely be famous because of this battle, and after fighting with the devil for so long, who has ever heard that with the strength of one army and three divisions, it dares to encircle a division of the devil? Sun Yumin is definitely the first in the world.

Sun Yumin did not take the telephone receiver in Deng Dongping's hand, but slowly walked to the door of the temporary headquarters, his deep gaze, through the busy guard regiment soldiers outside, through the already dark night sky, he seemed to see the bloody rain on the battlefield of Luodian in the Battle of Songhu; It seems that he saw the tragic situation of Xiaguan in Nanjing and the water of the Yangtze River that was dyed red; It seems to have seen hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the famine who had been displaced by the bursting of the embankment at the mouth of the garden. Who would have thought that the Chinese army, which was only passively beaten in the past, would also have this day of raising their eyebrows; Who would have thought that the Chinese army, which has always only shown itself as weak, would launch a large-scale attack on an entire Japanese division.

Sun Yumin's battle plan Luo Zhuoying was clear, so at this time, he was also restless in his own headquarters, waiting for the report on the battle situation from Shanggao, and his nervousness at the moment was no less than that of Sun Yumin.

Far away in Changsha's Ninth Theater Headquarters, Xue Yue stood quietly in front of the military map, he didn't know that Shanggao City in western Jiangxi was about to have a battle that the entire Ninth Theater was proud of, but as the supreme commander of the theater, he still felt a little unusual, and like Luo Zhuoying, he was also waiting for the battle report in the Shanggao direction.

Sun Yumin, who was at the gate of the headquarters, took a deep breath, he buttoned the collar of his military uniform, then turned around and walked back, resolutely took the earpiece in Deng Dongping's hand, and calmly spit out a few words into the phone: "I order, the attack begins!" ”

With Sun Yumin's order, the ten 105mm caliber M3 howitzers and 20 75mm caliber M1 mountain guns of the Dong Wenbin Artillery Regiment, which had already calibrated Zhu Yuan, began to roar in the real sense of the Chinese battlefield.

Although Sun Yumin's headquarters was far away from the artillery position, he could still hear the roar of the sequential firing, and standing at the gate of the headquarters, he could still see the flames passing through the night and falling into the distance.

Oga Shigeru and Akada Naozo were looking at the map in the tent, when they suddenly heard a strange sound of breaking through the air, and they were so shocked that they rushed out of the tent at the same time, as senior officers who had been marching and fighting for many years, they naturally knew that it was the sound of large-caliber shells.

Now the artillery wing is resting, and these large-caliber shells will definitely not be fired by their own side, and judging from the sound, they are coming towards this side.

Even a pig probably understands what this means.

It wasn't too long after dark, and the ghost soldiers naturally hadn't slept yet, how could such a loud sound not be heard, and the experienced ghost veterans first went to find a low-lying place, a sheltered place, and the ghost soldiers who had not experienced the taste of being bombed were still stupidly looking at the fires flying in the distance.

"Shogun's Majesty、隠れてください。 これは中国军の炮撃です。 When several devil staff officers saw Oga Shigeru and Chida Naozo standing at the door of the tent, they frightened several of them and ran over to persuade them.

"これは敵の砲撃だとわかったが、これらの砲弾はここには落ちない。 (I understand that this is enemy shelling, but these shells will not fall here.) Oga Shigeru didn't speak, didn't move the place, just stared blankly at the rapidly approaching fire group, Chida Naozo replied to these staff officers, both of them had already seen and heard, although the target of these shells was the 34th Division, but they would not fall on this area, but towards the place where the artillery wing was camped.

The reason why Oga Shigeru was silent was that he knew that after being bombarded by these shells in the air, the losses of his artillery wing would definitely be not small, and he might lose its combat effectiveness all of a sudden. He didn't dare to resemble how to fight this battle once he didn't have artillery. Is it to rely on the Third Flying Regiment and rely on Saburo Endo's cowardly faction?

Oga Shigeru knew that there would certainly not be only one round of artillery bombardment by the Chinese army, and if the artillery wing could not escape from the artillery fire, then the battle would be lost in half.

As one of the main types of artillery used by the U.S. military in World War II, the 105mm caliber M3 howitzer is not as famous as the two-caliber M1 howitzer, but it is more than enough to deal with little devils.

Ten M3 howitzers and twenty 75mm caliber M1 mountain guns can create momentum and damage that cannot be fired by the six to eight 125mm caliber howitzers of an artillery wing of the devil. The devil also has mountain artillery and field artillery, but when he is defenseless, where is the power of backhand. The first round of shells had just landed on the devil's artillery camp, and the flames from the explosion had not yet disappeared, and there were shells in the sky, and the target was still the same place: the camp of the artillery wing.

Previously, when Oga Shigeru was looking at the map in the tent, he was still full of righteousness, and Chi Tian Naozo said that he would break through Kamigao Castle tomorrow and defeat the 12th Army of the Chinese army Sun Yumin, but now, his artillery would actually be attacked by the other party's shelling, and it was also a large-caliber howitzer, which made him suddenly have an ominous premonition in his heart, listening to the earth-shattering explosion not far away, Oga Shigeru closed his eyes in pain, and then suddenly he opened his eyes again, his eyeballs were about to protrude, and he roared viciously: "Sun Yumin, 私はあなたの皮をpeelいて、あなたの肉を食べました!" (Sun Yumin, I'm going to skin you and eat your meat!) ）
