Chapter 248: Bloody Battle of Matsuyama Six

Before preparing for the attack, Wang Jingyuan received a call from the military headquarters, and the headquarters received a message from Wei Lihuang, commander of the expeditionary force, "Wei Ma Wei, telegram, cloud:" I was very relieved to hear that I had captured Zi and Wei Heights yesterday. I hope that Matsuyama will be restored by the 26th of this month. “

At this time, the matter of the gains and losses of the sub-highland had not yet dared to be reported, and the Wei Commander had already set a deadline for taking the entire Songshan.

The pressure of the commander of the 8th Army can be imagined, and He Shaozhou and Li Mi immediately transferred to all units, demanding that they must step up the attack according to the order and achieve the task within the time limit.

Wang Jingyuan immediately turned his head to Zhao Fabi and said: "If you can't beat it, you can explain it to the army commander yourself, and you will take the guards with Lao Tzu."

Zhao Fabi was ashamed, and he said so last night.

Covered by round artillery fire, hundreds of soldiers of the 3rd Rong Regiment in the artillery fire once again rushed to the Guanshan position.

Zhang Ziwen took precautions and transferred his strength to the foot of Guanshan, but Wang Jingyuan did not refute this time.

The Japanese army still retreated, and only four of the thirty death squads survived, and Chen Zai survived this hard work.

He was shot in the abdomen, in the thigh, and in the right arm.

On the one hand, He Shaozhou commanded the 308th and 307th regiments to hand over the garrison task of the 309th Regiment to the 2nd Battalion of the 309th Regiment, which had just arrived on the battlefield, and then continued to attack the enemy between the highlands and the small pine forest heights.

There are 3 enemy strong shelters, surrounded by several layers of barbed wire, and there are about 40 people defending the enemy. Therefore, it is very far away from Dazhai and can be described as the forward barrier of the core position, so the Japanese army desperately defended it, which greatly hindered our attacking troops.

Last night, the 308th Regiment advanced a mountain artillery to the vicinity of its own heights, and at about 10 o'clock on the 21st, it directly aimed and fired, destroying two enemy shelters, and the remaining Japanese troops all escaped into another shelter.

At this time, Zhang Xuecheng, squad leader of the 307th Regiment Attack Team and two others, who had attacked Dazhai at night a few days ago and captured the Japanese Wing's defense, braved enemy machine gun fire to crawl through the barbed wire, made a detour to the enemy's shelter, and then threw grenades into the enemy's fort, killing 7 Japanese soldiers, and the remaining 30 people fled to the west of the artillery carriage road, and were shot and killed by us.

At about 12 o'clock, the 308th and 307th regiments decided to occupy the enemy's positions, and the two regiments' fronts were already connected, and they overlooked Dazhai in an arc-shaped encirclement posture.

The 307th Regiment fought fiercely with the Japanese army on the outskirts of Dazhai all day, occupying 5 forts and 2 ammunition depots, and killing a Japanese lieutenant officer. Judging from the information of the Japanese army, this person is the commander of the small unit position and the leader of the artillery squadron of the wing, Kunio Fukuda.

However, for the Japanese army, accustomed to fighting on its own, the loss of its commander did not mean that its resistance would weaken slightly.

The Guanshan position could not afford to be lost, and Wang Jingyuan took Zhang Ziwen to live directly at the headquarters of the Rongsan Regiment.

200 men of the 3rd Rong Regiment were stationed at the Guanshan position, and 200 men were ambushed halfway up the mountain to prevent the Japanese army from attacking at night again.

On the Japanese position, Jin Guang Shaosa handed over the garrison of each position to the wounded, and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties in the past few days, and could only concentrate about 80 healthy people, and handed over to the command of Lieutenant Kinoshita Shiro, an observer of the 3rd Field Artillery Brigade, and made a surprise attack in the early morning of the 22nd.

Hearing the sound of the cannon, Wang Jingyuan sat up directly and went directly up the mountain, if Guanshan is gone, this life is not good.

Zhang Ziwen had already made preparations, got up and followed Wang Jingyuan halfway up the mountain.

At this time, the reserves of the third regiment of Rong had already pounced, and all that remained were three or four hundred wounded soldiers and regimental personnel.

Zhao Fabi had already rushed to the position, and the Japanese attack was even more fierce this time, and the entire Guanshan Heights were fought until dawn.

The wounded soldiers were constantly being sent down the mountain, and it was almost dawn when the gunfire stopped.

Wang Jingyuan said to the telegraph operator: "Call for artillery fire, three rapid fire, twice."

Zhao Fabi retreated halfway up the mountain, did not speak, and organized his own guard platoon of more than a dozen people and dozens of veterans who did not hang colors.

After the artillery strike, he personally led the team to rush to the Guanshan position, and he dared to do so because he learned from the Japanese.

As soon as Zhao Fabi counterattacked, the Japanese army immediately retreated, and fled to the anticline in groups of three or five.

Zhang Ziwen immediately designated six guns and scattered them on the anti-slope plane, and the enemy rolled down one after another and there were no less than forty or fifty people who fled in the valley behind the Chen Heights.

When Zhao Fabi attacked to the apex again, six or seven people rushed to the top of the mountain from the anticline, attacking back and forth, and there were about 30 remnants of the enemy who did not retreat, and then collapsed.

These people are learning from the Japanese army, leaving people in the bunker, waiting for the Japanese army to enter the position and then counterattack.

This is the secret hand of Wang Jingyuan and Zhang Ziwen.

At 10 o'clock, they re-entered the original position, and found that in the former undamaged large shelter, there was 1 company commander and 12 soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the Rong 3rd Regiment guarding it; Outside the mouth of the shelter, more than 20 dead bodies of the enemy were piled up.

In the re-inventory of the position, the enemy and our soldiers hugged each other and the dead totaled 62 pairs, which were all over the trench. On the anticline, the limbs are dissolved, the intestines and lungs are in disarray, and they are covered with trenches, which are unprecedented and miserable.

Cui Jisheng, the captain and adjutant of the 3rd Regiment of Shirong, rushed to the sub-high ground as a cover team after the death squad in the morning of the same day. He said: "It was the first time for me and the American soldiers to go to the front line, and we were very excited and nervous. Before we arrived at the crater, we couldn't help but be so shocked by the tragic situation that we couldn't speak, and there were corpses of both sides piled up densely all around, some of them scuffled with each other, you held my head, I stuck your neck, you grabbed my thighs, I pinched your lower body, and some were even squirming and moaning! The soil, soaked in the blood of the dead, emitted a fishy stench and the smell of gunsmoke, as if crying and burning. ”

"We had to drag the bodies apart and mount the anti-aircraft machine guns for flat fire. I saw that the battalion commander was covered in mud and blood, his thighs and arms were wounded, and he lay on the ground and said: When the death squad rushed up, they found that there was a sound of fighting in the trenches, shouting, fighting and scolding each other, it turned out that it was the platoon commander of the 8th company, Gao Jianguo, who led 18 brothers, who had been sticking to the bunker and did not withdraw. ”

Wang Jingyuan didn't know how later generations would comment on it and how to write it, until the Guanshan position was recaptured.

Looking at the corpses everywhere, Wang Jingyuan said to Zhang Ziwen: "Bring your people up, they can't hold this point."

As soon as Zhang Ziwen turned around, Xiao Luo had already run down the mountain to inform Dali.

It was particularly difficult to clean up the battlefield, and there were scattered tickets on the battlefield, but no one grabbed them.

Even a few US military instructors helped clean up the battlefield, and a major came over and said: "Your Excellency the Honorable Major General, Your Excellency the Colonel, contemptible Wen Kexia, you Chinese soldiers are really an excellent nation."

Zhang Ziwen has never been interested in the British and the Yankees, and Wang Jingyuan, as a chief, has to take care of face.

He replied: "Then I have to thank you for your support, without your machine gun cover, our soldiers still don't know how many more will be killed."

Wen Kexia said unceremoniously: "This is exactly what we do as teachers.........
