readx; This time, Inaba put on a posture of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and threw all the four infantry wings of the division into the front line, aiming to settle the battle in one battle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He used the 13th Wing of Hidemitsu Nakano of the Imamura Brigade to entangle the 86th Army of He Zhizhong in Songshanzui, and the 47th Wing of Hasegawa Masaki, which had just been withdrawn from Qiantailu, to fight against Cao Fulin's 55th Army in the Eastern Boundary Ridge; The 23rd Wing of the Ushijima Brigade Sano Torota dealt with Liu Ruming's 68th Army at the pass junction, and the 45th Wing of Wakamatsu Heiji attacked Xiao Zhichu's 26th Army; The 6th Cavalry Wing, the 6th Field Artillery Wing, and the two armored vehicle squadrons all went into battle, and with the key support of the 1st Flying Regiment stationed in Hefei and Anqing, they planned to smash open the gate of Wuhan with one fist.

Inaba has sparse eyebrows and cloudy eyes, and his face is flat, and he also painstakingly plays the balanced carving insect skill between Ushijima and Imamura. The pioneer takes the turn, and the head gong turns to remember. His real hopes at this time are Imamura's Hasegawa Wing and Ushijima's Wakamatsu United. The east boundary ridge is the boundary ridge of Guangji County and Qichun County, and the two mountains of Longding Village on the south side of the highway face each other.

Hasegawa was the only wing commander of the 6th Division who remained after the atrocities in Nanjing, and his reputation as "mature" and "sophisticated" in military circles was simply that he dared to tell lies. It is said that he declared to the press that "there has not been a single incident in which this unit has violated military morals in Nanjing." In the previous section of the supply line to protect Qiantai, his wing annihilated, burned, and killed all kinds of evil, but in the notes submitted to his superiors for review, his face did not change color and his heart did not beat with a capital letter, "Qiu did not commit any crimes".

If samurai culture is a kind of moral beauty of the Oriental dual personality, Hasegawa is probably the best at pretentiousness.

People who can be human always take their own future as their principle and do not care about the success or failure of their career. Hasegawa originally wanted to take the boundary ridge and drive westward in one go, and take the first credit for capturing Wuhan, but Cao Fulin just didn't give him face. The fierce battle lasted for two days and two nights, and he was still aggrieved and winding at the foot of the boundary ridge. Reporting to Imamura and Inaba, the headquarters is often threatened by enemy fire from Longdingzhai on the south side of the road, and asks for instructions to assist Wakamatsu Wing to relieve their worries.

Longdingzhai and Jieling are separated by two or three kilometers, and the weapons of the [***] team in China cannot form crossfire at all. Hasegawa, like all shrewd leaders, is best at finding the best objective reasons for his failures due to incompetence.

Cao Fulin, Feng Yuxiang's personal soldier, Han Fuyu's henchman, and Chiang Kai-shek's important minister, seems to be foolish and has a strange mind, changing horses and changing hands without showing any shapes, always clinging to the highest laurel branch as far as the eye can see, and he is honored by others, and he is honored by others, and he is honored by others. Political experience warned him that with his unclear history, losing the boundary ridge is tantamount to losing his head. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he personally handed over the moon cakes from the rear to the front-line officers and soldiers. "Brothers, this is a reunion, but this devil has caused us to leave our homeland and our wives to be separated."

The 55th Army's Hebei Bingyuan, who can be regarded as Cao Fulin's hometown disciple, eating moon cakes, thinking of his father, elders, fellow villagers, brothers and sisters in the northern Hu Chen, he couldn't help but cry, choking Hasegawa in the face of the crying red-eyed mourning soldiers, isn't it boring to find himself? Even Major General Brigade Commander Chen Dexin also called for a battle charge on the front line, so that he was shot and martyred.

Wakamatsu Heiji was also very happy, and threatened to fight to his own long knife, and he would also take Longding Village. Although his attack is as ferocious as Hasegawa's, even if there is a big and small devil like Captain Tanaka, who holds the "Sukehiro" saber, it also ends the same.

Longding Village, also called the bundle of dragon neck, this is a strange-shaped mountain beam, like the Emperor of the Universe wielding the pen of the sky here to draw a huge seven or eight miles long"? No. The lower pen is quite like a dragon head curled up, raised high, and hissed in the sky. The image of Zhuo Ran is indeed like a giant dragon, tied around the neck by the Emperor of Heaven, and the other end of the golden rope and jade belt is tied to the Huabiao of the Yao Palace.

There is a small temple called "Prince Temple" in an antique place around the dragon's neck, an old monk and two novices, although the temple is small, it is said that the god is very spiritual, and the incense is prosperous. When Xiao Zhichu went up the mountain, the old monk was doing things, beating drums and bells, reciting trumpets, and the jungle was strict.

The walls are almost as good as horses. The historical question mark that is too strong is like the Oriental Sphinx, which has criticized Wakamatsu Heiji, who has lost his surname. Fortunately, the air force and the Vulture Force saw the power of this dragon more truly than Wakamatsu, and they bombed the dragon top village in turn with more than a dozen planes, and the prince temple at the dragon's neck was in rubble. The old monk stayed on the mountain, holding a small Buddha monkey in a stone cave behind the temple, and escaped the catastrophe.

The trees on the hill were all turned into bare poles, and the bushes were burned to ashes. The team lying on the stone looked like frozen lizards in the air

"Withdraw!" Xiao Zhichu gave the order.

At the same time that Wakamatsu "heroically occupied" Ryudingzhai Jieyin reported on Ushijima and Inaba, the reporters also telegraphed this "great news" to Tokyo, and of course the hometown of the "warriors" of Minami Kyushu, including Kuwasa of Tanaka Gunyoshi.

Yes, as long as you monitor the Eastern Boundary Ridge, you will be able to march west tomorrow. Inaba's right hand rubbed his stubby fingers, rubbing mahjong around the map a few times, with a fiery and proud attitude.

In the middle of the night, even the insects in the mountains and fields in the war did not dare to scream. There is only a little bit of fireflies high and bright, like a messenger in the dark carrying a green fire lantern, extradition the ghosts on the Nai River bridge.

In the deep night, from the three directions of Shangchen Yuan, Wu Jiayuan, and Li Chong, there were three rows of black shadows without a head and tail, moving straight towards Longding Village. Looking closely, it turned out to be a troop, and there was no sound, like a yin soldier. Only when you listen carefully can you breathe suppressed, and it is like the wind before the rain.

Closer, closer to the 26th Army, the 32nd Division of Guizhou Erlang was all barefoot straw sandals, like a feline touched the entrance of the village. "Wow" said that at the same time as the sentry was killed, the sound of gunfire in the village "kill--" Longding Village seemed to have been sleeping for millions of years of volcano suddenly burst out, becoming more and more intense, and the mountain of magma spread, rolling slowly and solemnly from the ridge to the bottom of the mountain

Before dawn of this hand-to-hand fight, Wakamatsu was already pacing back and forth in the tent of Hasegawa at the foot of the mountain like a wolf in a cage.

Wakamatsu and Tanaka, who did not have aircraft and artillery to cooperate, did not seem to be the opponent of the 32nd Division with the "Sukehiro" saber in their hands.

However, when more than 20 planes roared along the sun, and Fujimura Kendasa's field artillery pointed at Longding Village together, Xiao Zhichu had to give an order weakly: "Withdraw." ”

As soon as it got dark, Xiao Zhichu came to the spirit: "Attack it!" ”

Say attack, take it

Barbed wire, mines, and night sentry Wakamatsu used all their methods, but they couldn't stop the attack of the 26th Army.

From September 7 to give up during the day to capture at night, Xiao Jun had eight exits and eight advances to Longding Village.

Inaba suffered more than 2,000 casualties here, and he was really exhausted, so he died Putting aside the greed of the navy to cooperate with Wuhan alone, he ordered the Wakamatsu Wing to withdraw from Longding Village and rest on the spot, and after replenishing 3,200 recruits, he reluctantly went to gnaw the hard bones of the Tianjiazhen fortress.

This curling dragon tied around its neck may itself be a tragedy of a sinful infant. Later, when Inaba attacked Longding Village again -- tying the dragon's neck, more than 300 officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 68th Regiment of the 32nd Division, which covered the retreat of the troops, were all killed in battle, and more than 70 wounded soldiers were hung on the pine trees next to the temple with ropes, and they starved to death day by day. This is more than 40 days later

After the rain, Qingshuang Mountain is vast, and the silver waterfalls hang down from the clouds, and the white is dazzling.

On Qingshuang Mountain, there stood a young major general in his 20s, holding a telescope and looking east.

Major General of the 26th Division of the National Revolutionary Army High Fly!

In the trenches of the 13th Division, the commander of the 13th Division, Ogizhou Libing, the steel helmets of the Chinese soldiers moved from time to time, like green ladybugs crawling away.

Ogishu Libing put down his binoculars and grinned, and the old wrinkles on his face became even more lush.

What is there for him to be happy about? After more than a week of recuperation, the squadrons were replenished with new recruits, as well as light armoured vehicles, artillery, and read-machine gun units. The scorching summer is about to pass, and now is a golden opportunity for the sky to ride and hunt in autumn. The Air Force has already found out that most of the [***] teams have been assembled in front of them - in the eyes of Ogisu, it is the head of the pyramid of their own military exploits. Qingshuang Mountain in the telescope, with rows of trenches and zebra crossings, isn't it the step by step of his military career to the peak? Ogisu was indeed smooth sailing on the Chinese battlefield, and soon rose to the rank of commander of the 6th Army. But in the battle against Sunomenkan, a big heel fight was planted, and even the big ones in the army who had just arrived were compensated.

Having served as a military instructor at the Yenching Army University, Ogizhou is well versed in China and the geography of the Qingshuang Mountains. The high peaks of the Qingshuang Mountain Range never made him feel that it was a geographical obstacle. The mountains of northern China tend to be steep and gentle on one side, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not so here. This is the climatic dividing line, where the rain from the south and the wind from the north meet, the vegetation is abundant, and the shape of the mountain is mediocre, the higher the mountain, the longer the slope. He watched Jiang Jun set up troops in Qingshuang Mountain, and he felt very funny: Isn't that a children's beach sand city game!

Goofy lowered his binoculars, grinned, and walked down the hill.

What a rampant devil! If I have artillery, I will blow up your bloody head! However, although it is a trump card, in addition to the neat soldiers, the weapons are still very backward.

There is no need to send that false fire, as long as our grassroots officers and soldiers bravely kill the enemy, the army will never be able to enter Wuhan so easily!

Three ridges, the main position in the middle is the 151st Regiment, the left position is the 152nd Regiment, and the right position is the 153rd Regiment.

As he spoke, the machine flew overhead. The cookie-cutter aerial bombardment began.

Ogizhou used the 26th Brigade to attack Qingshuang Mountain.

Under an old locust tree, the commander of the 26th Brigade, Numata Shigetoku, held his sword in both hands and stood motionless, like a fierce god of clay sculpture. Numata and famous figures in the military circles, Hideki Tojo, Jun Imamura, Naosaburo Okabe, and Tatsumi Kusaba in the same battlefield, are equivalent to the twenty-seventh students of Lu University.

The small sun flags were moving forward, and the impact began.

"Kill--" A layer of yellow dust exploded, and the position of the 153rd Regiment rose sharply like a tsunami.

The army began to use poison gas.

Yu Wenzheng hurriedly ordered each shift to prepare a bucket of water and a towel for each person in case of accidents. This time, as soon as the army released the poison, the officers and men immediately put wet towels. Those who have no water hurriedly wet the towel to remove the poison. Numata watched the officers and soldiers who looked like a mountaineering competition, and a slight uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart -- the hypocrisy of the present style: After all, winning by poisoning is not a fair and upright samurai style. However, at this moment, he was stunned by the 153 regiment that broke out of the shell.

"Brethren!" The head of the regiment, Yu Wenzheng, roared the majesty of the king of beasts, especially loud, "Kill the devil clean!" ”

More than 1,000 broadswords and bayonets fought on an inclined stage with a width of 3,500 meters, performing a spectacle in the history of world warfare. There was no explosion. Gao Fei didn't have a cannon, and Ogizhou didn't dare to shoot a cannon. In addition to the white-bladed fighting in this piece of yellow dust, the people within a radius of dozens of miles stared at this place with all their eyes and ears, and the two most nervous people - of course Gao Fei and Ogizhou Libing.

This battle lasted for 3 hours, and the Tiantian United team finally ran out of energy, dropped more than 200 corpses, and retreated down the mountain in battle. Covered in blood, Tima Fudasaku staggered to Numata with his sword in tow, and knelt down, "Wow! He drew his knife to cut his abdomen, "Eight grids!" Numata stopped.

Major General Kei Seya, commander of the 33rd Brigade of the Chinese Army, who was ordered to take the rear of the [***] team, led the 10th Wing to march in the night, and the plan was successful. But as soon as he arrived at the Temple of Literature, he was discovered by the 1st Battalion of the 153rd Regiment sent to search the flank of the Yue Army.

Liang Yun, the commander of the 1st Battalion, knew that the comer was not good, and flew to report to the division commander Gao Fei. Gao Fei groaned slightly, and hurriedly ordered his troops to occupy Aokoutang. This is a dangerous pass, and it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. Seya Kai thought that his actions were secretive, and when he entered the pass at dawn, the ambush soldiers of the two mountains opened fire at the same time, and the five thunders of the army hit the top, and the corpse was lying on the pillow. Kei Seya ordered a retreat. Wing Commander Mori Sue Daisa believed that he should attack and advance with 2,000 elite soldiers, but Kei Seya would not allow it.

Half a year ago, Segu Qi broke Teng County with 30,000 people, crossed the canal, and smashed Xuzhou, how majestic. However, because of the lone army, he was trapped in Taierzhuang and almost lost the life of the entire brigade and his surname. Every time he thought of the wounded soldiers who followed the example of Su I's house and committed suicide, he felt palpitations. It's alone again. Wrestling at the same intersection is the real "eight grids"!

"Withdraw!" Seya Kai couldn't help but say, turned around and left.

Even so, there have been three or four hundred casualties.

Ogisu didn't care about Seya Kai's intervention, he poured all his forces into attacking Qingshuang Mountain.

The 16th Division, which slaughtered Su and Anhui in a bloody massacre in Nanjing, has reached the vicinity of Yeji and is approaching Qingshuang Mountain.

After 11 days of hard work, the wrinkles on Ogisu's face have become much richer, and I'm afraid it's not because of the smile. There were many reporters accompanying the 2nd Army, and this newspaper's report on Qingshuangshan said: "Due to the stubborn resistance of the enemy's main force, Gao Fei's Army, the battle suffered heavy casualties, and the battle situation made no progress."

Gao Fei was awarded the Huazhou Medal of Honor for this.

Ogizhou finally occupied Qingshuang Mountain, and after resting for half a month, he continued his westward expedition according to the established route. There is a place in front of it called "Gorge", and as the name suggests, it is not a very auspicious section. Will Ogisu bypass?

During the Battle of Wuhan, more than 1,000 journalists were active in the Qingshuang Mountains and the Yangtze River Valley. Yomiuri Shimbun photojournalists Sudo Kazuguchi went to the headquarters of the 101st Division at the foot of Yujin Mountain in Hoshiko Prefecture to make some battlefield documentaries.

Ito Masaki pointed to the map and told them that the current combat goal of the division was to capture Donggu Mountain, and the battle was very fierce. Sudo and Tongkou listened to the faint artillery battle, afraid of missing the opportunity, and touched the front-line position at dusk.

However, the battle is over. What is even more disappointing for Sudo and Tongkou is that this battlefield is surrounded by rocks and scattered formations, and it is difficult to form a fierce battle picture. The two of them didn't shoot anything, and they came to the team headquarters of Boyushan to prepare for dinner. When you go to the front line of the battle and return empty-handed, what a wretch! When he sighed as he touched Solomon's mustache, a figure flashed in front of him, and an inspiration suddenly came to his mind.

Because of the heat, Co-Captain Kunigoro Iizuka was always shirtless. This is a middle-aged man who knows his destiny, and the battlefield is difficult to trim and his beard is unkempt.

It's a great image! Tongkou picked up a steel helmet, put it on Iizuka, grabbed a war knife, let Iizuka hold it, and took a picture of a light backbone commanding the battle with Lushan Mountain as the background. Anyway, there is not much film, and the mouth pushes, pulls, shakes, and turns in one go.

Iizuka is introverted, not good at social travel, and loves fishing. usually has such a gloomy and cold look, and in the atmosphere of the battlefield, it is particularly similar.

"Tell us about your combat experience." It wasn't until the film was fully reimbursed that Sudo and Tsuguchi conducted a recorded interview.

"Ah, how can I say that the enemy here is very tenacious, let's attack this mountain," Iizuka stomped his right foot, "We took it with 6 shocks and 3 kills."

Sudo and Tongkou found that the mountains under their feet were stained with blood.

In addition to the removal of more than 100 wounded soldiers, more than 1,000 Guangdong sons and daughters of the 160th Division of Ye Zhao's Army, including Liang himself, were killed here.

"It's harder to fight, we've already had 10 impacts" Iizuka pointed at Donggushan with his chin and said in a melancholy tone, "You see, the stones on the mountain are all discolored, and they're blood-stained."

Sure enough, in the afterglow of the sunset, the bare stones were mottled in black and white, very different from the surrounding scenery. In the smoke after the fierce battle, the military flags of the [***] team stood quietly and silently, like some heroes with chic manners, bowing their legs and pinching their waists to look at the remnants of the defeated generals at their feet.

Although the 190th Division of the 25th Army of the defending army Wang Jingjiu was formed at the end of last year, as the backbone of the central government, the officers came from the military academy and the soldiers came from Huguang, and they were all fully equipped. Division commander Liang Huasheng, a first-term student in Huangpu, ingeniously embroidered the word "loyal and brave" on the sleeves of the officers and soldiers of the division, and the 190th Division was proud of himself as a "loyal and brave division"!
