Chapter 918: Fierce Battle on Wutai Mountain
More and more devil soldiers gathered here at Luo Dazhuang, and their eyes looked at Luo Dazhuang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Seeing that Luo Dazhuang's right leg had been blown off, his whole body was covered in blood, and his face was even more pale, but they didn't understand that there was a firm expression in Luo Dazhuang's eyes like this.
It is a belief that will never change, a will that will last until death.
"Little devil ......" Luo Dazhuang grabbed a piece of shrapnel casually, and he wanted to throw it at the devil soldier with all his might, but a Japanese second lieutenant squad leader took out a southern pistol.
As the Japanese second lieutenant squad leader pulled the trigger of the southern pistol, the bullet was fired, and the guilty bullet hit Luo Dazhuang in the head, Luo Dazhuang's eyes widened, he had no signs of life, and Luo Dazhuang died.
The devil soldiers looked at the sacrificed Luo Dazhuang, their faces were serious, and the second lieutenant squad leader slowly put away the southern pistol.
"Bury this soldier of China, he is a true warrior."
After being silent for a while, the second lieutenant squad leader gave a solemn order, and the two devil soldiers buried Luo Dazhuang's body on the spot.
According to the statistics of the Operations Section, after the first company entered Wutai County to fight, it brought more than 1,200 casualties to the Japanese army, including more than 800 Japanese soldiers.
The fierce battle is still continuing, and every soldier of the Eighth Route Army is ready for heroic sacrifice, and they know that I will die and the country will die.
"Comrades, our country has reached this point, it is completely caused by our soldiers, and now that the war has reached this point, we have no choice but to sacrifice, it is extremely glorious to fight and die for the country, comrades, rush with me!"
The position of the 1st Regiment of Honor was attacked by two Japanese wings, and many gaps began to appear in various parts of the position after half an hour of fighting.
Regiment Commander Qin Xianliang, Deputy Regiment Commander Yin Jin, Chief of Staff Xie Hui and other regimental officers all came to the front line to command.
The deputy regiment commander, Yin Jin, was holding a Czech light machine gun, he shouted loudly, and then he was the first to rush towards the devil soldiers.
Dozens of officers and soldiers followed behind the deputy regiment commander Yin Jin and began to rush towards the devil soldiers.
The battle on Mount Wutai was at a fever pitch, with Chinese and Japanese soldiers constantly fighting for the same position, and bright red blood gathered together to form a river.
Blood began to flow down the hill, and a young warrior, only about twenty years old, fell on the ground where he was stationed.
The battle lasted until two o'clock in the morning, when Fang Chaoqun, the commander of the Unknown Regiment, was seriously wounded while commanding the troops to counterattack, and the regimental leaders such as Qin Xianliang, the commander of the Honorary First Regiment, Yin Jin, the deputy commander of the Honorary Second Regiment, and Zhang Wenbin, the acting head of the Honorary Second Regiment, were all wounded.
At half past two in the morning, the assault force, consisting of armored platoons of each regiment and the guard battalion directly under the division headquarters, began to flank the Japanese troops.
The assault force began to attack the Japanese army, but the 62nd Wing of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army quickly attacked, and the assault force was immediately caught in a melee.
By 3 o'clock in the morning, the number of casualties between China and Japan exceeded 3,000 in a short period of two hours, including more than 2,000 Japanese casualties and more than 800 casualties among the Eighth Route Army.
The fierce fighting continued, and the three divisions of the Japanese army were fully manned, so they naturally wanted to launch a continuous onslaught without giving the defending troops any respite.
The offensive and defensive battle lasted until 7 o'clock in the morning, when six infantry wings of the Japanese army, accompanied by three engineer wings, launched more than 20 attacks on Wutai Mountain.
During these more than 20 attacks, the Japanese troops broke through the Chinese positions several times, but each time the positions were recaptured after they were lost.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the Japanese troops stopped their attack and they began to rest, but this did not mean that the Chinese troops on Wutai Mountain could rest.
After the Japanese troops stopped attacking, the Japanese air brigade began to appear over Wutai Mountain, and thirty-six bombers began carpet bombing Wutai Mountain.
The bombardment lasted for an hour, and Mount Wutai was completely shrouded in black smoke.
The leaders of the Honorary Second Division, Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong and other division leaders frowned tightly, at present, the casualties of each division are very large, and there are many reports of all the sacrifices of a company.
Several regiments have been unable to find a fully staffed battalion-level unit, and even though they are the troops of the Honorary Second Division, they are still under great psychological pressure.
"Division commander, the head of the headquarters called us to ask about the situation here, at present, the troops of the 120th Division are trying their best to hold off the troops of the 1st Division and the 114th Division of the Japanese Army, but the troops of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army have begun to fight with the 120th Division alone, and the 1st Division is marching towards Wutai Mountain, according to the prediction of the headquarters, at the latest at ten o'clock in the morning, the first division will join the battlefield."
Huang Guohua, chief of the operations section, came to Sun Weiguo's side, and Huang Guohua reported the situation to Sun Weiguo.
Sun Weiguo took the telegram and looked at it, and after seeing the telegram from the headquarters, Sun Weiguo hesitated slightly.
"Call back to the head of the headquarters, we can hold out here for a while." Sun Weiguo said directly.
He did not plan to report the situation on Wutai Mountain in detail to the headquarters, he knew that once he reported the situation in detail, the head of the headquarters would definitely let the Honorary Second Division withdraw from Wutai Mountain.
Now, as long as the Honorable Second Division withdraws from Wutai Mountain, then the mobile combat group in Fuping County, the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the troops of the 120th Division will all be in danger.
Only by holding Wutai Mountain, consuming Japanese supplies, and containing Japanese troops, can we avoid the main force of the Japanese army encircling and annihilating friendly troops.
At present, the various departments are fighting very hard, which Sun Weiguo knows very well, but he knows that all the sacrifices are worth it now.
"I don't need any command to fight to this point, I go to the front to fight." Sun Weiguo picked up his weapon, and he said in a firm tone.
"Boom, boom." A huge explosion sounded, and the division headquarters seemed to begin to tremble at this moment, and the dust fell, and Sun Weiguo and other division leaders were immediately pressed under the guards.
"Division commander, it's the Japanese heavy artillery." Zhao Lerong immediately reported.
The 8th Wing of the Japanese Army's Independent Field Heavy Artillery was assigned to the 109th Division, and this heavy artillery wing did not participate in the battle last night, and they were building artillery positions.
Today their artillery positions were built, and after the Japanese planes left, the 8th Wing of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery began to carry out artillery bombardment.
Thirty-six 150mm howitzers and twelve 105mm cannons, the Japanese heavy artillery wing had a strong foundation.
The Japanese heavy artillery began to fire, and one after another shells began to fall on Wutai Mountain without warning, and the explosion was deafening.
"Division commander, it's not good, the field hospital was attacked by heavy Japanese artillery, and several caves collapsed."
At this moment, a herald hurriedly came, he came to the division headquarters, and shouted directly.
