The words were divided into two ends, on the main battlefield of South Huaihua, the Japanese Fifth Division was strongly blocked by Hao Mengling's 9th Army, and the battle was extremely fierce. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On October 14, the Japanese army increased its troops by several thousand, and with more than 10,000 troops, it once again stormed the Nanhuaihua position defended by the 9th Army, and the 9th Army fought more fiercely with the Japanese invaders.

At the same time, the 15th Army of the Chinese defenders on the right flank fought with the enemy until the evening, driving the Japanese army to the foot of Lingshan; The 10th Division on the left flank routed the enemy and recovered Jiulianzhuang and other places, but the main position of Nanhuaihua fell into the hands of the enemy, and there were breaches in the defensive line, and the tug-of-war became more and more fierce.

On 15 October, in order to further expand the results of the battle, annihilate the enemy, and regain the central position, the Chinese Second Theater Command transferred about five brigades of the Ninth Army and the 21st Division to launch a counteroffensive against the positions occupied by the Japanese army under the command of Hao Mengling, commander-in-chief of the Central Corps and commander of the Ninth Army.

The Chinese army attacked from the front, besieging the Fifth Division from three sides, and at this time, even the Itagaki Division, which considered itself the best in the world, felt a chill in late autumn. At this time, Honda Masa's telegram for help arrived, and the old devil of Itagaki saw that he was unable to protect himself, so he could not take care of Honda Masa, and refused to rescue without hesitation.

Before the Ninth Army launched a counterattack, Hao Mengling spoke to the soldiers: "Previously, we had a regiment guarding this position, but now we have more than 100 people left, organized into a company, and we still hold this position. Even if there is only one person left, he will defend this position. If we don't die for a day, the responsibility of resisting Japan will not be over.

Before I left, I had written a will at home, and I would never survive until I defeated the Japanese invaders. Now we will hold this position with you, and we will not retreat first. If I retreat first, any of you can shoot me. Whoever you are, take a step back, and I'll shoot him immediately. Do you dare to stand your ground here with me? ”

All the soldiers replied in unison: "Hold your ground to the death!" ”

Hao Mengling said happily: "Okay, there will be a heart to die, and there is no greed for life." Then he waved his pen and wrote: "Where to stand, where to die" eight words, telling the whole army to general.

After that, the Chinese army led by Hao Mengling's 9th Army launched a Jedi counterattack against the Japanese army, and the 5th Division suddenly fell into an unprecedented predicament, and several high ground were captured in a company, and the situation was precarious.

Zhang Cheng quickly gained insight into this situation, and it was obvious that there was no point in encircling the enemy and sending reinforcements, and the Fifth Division was in a quagmire and had no time to take care of mixing into the Second Brigade.

"If the enemy doesn't come, I'll be the enemy!"

After Zhang Cheng understood the new situation, he decided to eliminate the mixed second brigade as quickly as possible, and then reinforce the 9th Army, beat the Fifth Division of the Water Dogs, and wiped out the old devils of Itagaki on the land of northern Jinbei in one go.

At this time, on the field artillery position of the Japanese army, the artillery fire of the instructor was still raging wildly, and the shells seemed to be falling endlessly, just like sprinkling water to wash the ground, and the Japanese field artillery wing was about to be wiped out.

Honda has no way to ask for help, but can only save himself. He soon issued an order to the field artillery wing to abandon the artillery and break through, intending to save the artillery unit dancing in the artillery fire, but this order came too late, and at this time, there were only three or two big cats and small cats left in the field artillery wing, and the others were all broken.

At the same time, the Japanese 1st and 3rd Wings broke into the third line of defense of the Eighth Route Army, only to find that the positions were already empty.

Shikawa Jiro's face was pale for a while, and his heart was extremely depressed, as if the Japanese army used all his strength to smash the Eighth Route Army with a fist, thinking that he would be able to give the Eighth Route Army kO, but the Japanese army's fist fell on the cotton, and did not cause a little damage to the Eighth Route Army.

Another co-captain, Masao Yuasa, was also extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but scold: "The Eighth Route Army is really too obscene, it's not a man's job, and if you say that you have a face-to-face battle, how can you run away without a fight!" ”

"Woo Woo Woo ......"

However, Jiro Tokawa and Masaio Yuasa were soon in no mood to complain, because at this moment a large wave of shells was whistling towards them, pouring down on the Japanese infantry wing like a heavy rainstorm.

"Boom!"

Dense shells fell in the crowd of Japanese soldiers, setting off a bloody storm, stumps and limbs flew in the sky, a large number of Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot at the first time, and other soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe looked at the tragic situation of their comrades being blown into pieces on the spot, and kept screaming, and the wolves fled in all directions.

"What's going on? Could it be that we were blown up by our own artillery, the communications troops, immediately connect the field artillery wing, and I will ask Ueno-kun what is going on, and he actually hit the heads of the soldiers of our wing. Togawa Jiro Osa ordered angrily.

But soon the signal corps came back and reported that the field artillery positions had been cut off by the Eighth Route Army, and that it was the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army that were now shelling us.

"Nani? How can there be so many such powerful artillery pieces in the Eighth Road, you are so bold that you dare to lie to me, give me death! Furious, Jiro Togawa did not dare to accept this cruel reality, and drew his sword and slashed at the communication soldiers.

"Ahh Your Excellency spares your life! When the communication soldiers saw Jiro Togawa's posture of drawing a knife and slashing, they were shocked and asked for mercy again and again.

With a "poof", the Japanese saber was really sharp, and the signal soldier was cut in half by the irrational Matsumisa, and the blood and intestines of the internal organs flowed all over the ground, and the condition was unbearable.

After venting his anger, Song Sanzuo finally calmed down, and looked at the other officers and soldiers looking at him as if they were looking at the devil's frightened eyes, and couldn't help but get angry again, but fortunately he didn't lose his mind this time, but ordered: "What are you still doing, hurry up and set up your position to avoid the shelling of Tubalu!" ”

"Hay!" At this time, no one dared to anger Jiro Togawa, and they were all busy.

It's a pity that they are all busy in vain, the position laid by the instructor before has been bulldozed by the Japanese field artillery fire, and now it is too late to dig the position.

The most powerful field artillery unit of the Japanese army was wiped out, and the artillery brigade of the instructor had no resistance anymore, and the shells were fired more happily, and in the roar of the rain of shells, one by one the Japanese soldiers were blown into the sky, and they could only flee frantically all over the mountains.

The political commissar looked at the scene of the Japanese army rushing to the wolves, and said with a happy face: "Artillery is worthy of being the king of war, even if the individual combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army is far inferior to that of the Japanese army, but the artillery dominates everything, so that the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese army cannot be brought into play at all." Now I finally understand why you, division commander, are desperate to strengthen Sun Youdao's artillery brigade. ”

Zhang Cheng also smiled: "Yes, now is not the era of our Red Army's millet plus rifles, the times are advancing, the development of weapons is changing with each passing day, and our Eighth Route Army has to catch up!" ”

The political commissar added: "At present, our artillery has killed the Japanese artillery, and in order to save shells, I think it is time to charge." ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "How can the shells be as important as the lives of the soldiers?" Don't worry, let the shells fly a little longer. ”
