Chapter 24: The Second Battle of Daqingshan (3)

After all night, early the next morning, Major General Kawabe Shozo ordered the field kitchen to prepare a sumptuous breakfast for the soldiers.

After eating, Major General Kawabe Shozo immediately ordered the commander of the 69th Infantry Wing of the 109th Division, Yuyuki Yusa, to lead more than 2,800 people from the three brigades of the headquarters to attack the mountain, while he himself led the 5th Infantry Wing of the 41st Division as a reserve.

The commander of the 69th Infantry Wing, Yuyoumu Yusa, is over 50 years old, thin and thin, with a pointed head like a large Sam bomb, and at first glance he looks like an old man in the countryside, but the fierce light in his small eyes from time to time reveals his real surname of a hungry wolf.

After receiving the order, Nagayou Yuki Yusaku immediately led the team to set off, Kameda Brigade in the front, Inukai Brigade in the center, and Koizumi Brigade in the rear, and slaughtered towards Daqingshan.

As soon as they arrived at the mountain pass, the 69th Wing was violently blocked by the 77th Brigade of Reading Force, and now the originally small entrance was transformed into a big Ming Fort and four small dark forts by Shen Yuquan, and the entire bunker group of 12 heavy machine guns blocked the road into the mountain tightly, and blocked the Shangcun Wing at the mountain pass.

One morning, the commander of the 69th Infantry Wing, Yuyoumu Yongdasa, organized 7 group attacks, but they were all repelled by the 77th Brigade of Reading Force, and the thick cement bunker had no other place to attack the soldiers in the bunker except for the machine gun shooting hole, and the thick cement slab was not afraid of the attack of the 92-type infantry gun of the Japanese army.

This bunker group is the first line of defense in Daqingshan, and it is also the most important line of defense, so the 77th Brigade of Reading Force, from the brigade commander Han Yunhua, to the ordinary soldiers, understand the important surname of this line of defense.

Changyou Yuki Yudasa sent a squadron of soldiers to attack the pillbox group each time, but due to the influence of the terrain, less than a squad of soldiers could really participate in the attack, and the extra soldiers only added to the merits of the 77th Brigade of Reading Force, and the Uemura Wing suffered more than 700 casualties in just one morning, accounting for almost a quarter of the total strength of the Uemura Wing.

At about half past two in the afternoon, a new round of attacks by the army began, this time the army had a new way of fighting, only to see two squadrons of soldiers rushing to the bunker group fearlessly to death, and these soldiers were followed by more than a dozen devils with huge explosive bags. Under the machine guns of the 77th Brigade of Reading Force, which spewed steel bullets, the devils fell in pieces, but the living devils quickly used the corpses of their fallen comrades as cover and pushed these bunkers forward.

Shen Yuquan, who was standing on the hillside watching the battle, put down his binoculars and said to Chen Shangming, the head of the Reading Force Group beside him: "The devil is really not afraid of death, and he doesn't even let go of the corpses of his companions who died in battle, what a group of beasts." ”

Chen Shangming said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he is a beast or not, all creatures that dare to approach within 50 meters of the bunker will all be beaten into a sieve." What should the political commissar do with the devils with explosives bags, it is really possible to let them get close to the bunker with such a play. ”

Shen Yuquan said: "Don't worry, let's give them a hard time." He turned to the guards who followed him and said, "Inform the artillery company that it is time to open fire, and let them move to their positions as soon as they finish fighting." ”

After a while, dozens of mortar shells fell on the narrow mountain road, and in an instant, hundreds of devils were blown up, and with the sound of explosive packs, less than 20 devils of the two squadrons walked out of the valley alive.

Seeing that the attack failed again, Nagayou Yuki Yudaisa had no choice but to send operational guidance to Major General Kawabe Shozo.

In fact, every attack of Nagayou Yuki Yusa, Major General Shozo Kawabe saw it, but as an outstanding graduate of the Staff Department of the Imperial Army University, his talent in strategy was even admired by Terauchi Shouichi. But in terms of tactics, he was a complete idiot, he thought that as soon as his troops went up, Han Yunhua's troops would be scared, and he didn't expect to encounter such a difficult bone. In desperation, Major General Shozo Kawabe had no choice but to set his sights on Yamada Tetsujiro Daisa.

As the commander of the 41st Infantry Wing, the main force of the 9th Infantry Brigade of the 5th Ace Division of the Japanese Army, Tetsujiro Yamada is not comparable to Yusamu Nagayuki in terms of strategy and tactics.

Yamada Tetsujiro Osaku pointed to several mountain peaks and said: "Your Excellency Commander, since we can't attack head-on, why don't we change the direction of attack, you see those places, although they are still very steep, but as long as we take a dozen ladders, we can let the soldiers climb those cliffs more than ten meters high, and then we can ignore the pillbox group and directly attack the headquarters of the Chinese army." ”

"Yo Xi, Yamada-kun is worthy of being a top student at the Infantry Command College of the Imperial Army University, and he is really resourceful. Then trouble Yamada-kun, you now take a large group of infantry to make a few ladders, and then attack the places where the mountains are connected. I'll let Nagayou Yuki Yudasa get the attention of the Shina army in front, please. Major General Kawabe Shozo ordered.

Yamada Tetsujiro Osa said loudly: "Hai, I will definitely live up to the expectations of His Excellency the commander. ”

Since there is a large pine forest at the foot of Mt. Daqingshan, Yamada Tetsujiro Daisa soon raised 30 to 40 ladders more than 10 meters high.

In fact, when Tetsujiro Yamada sent troops to cut down trees and build ladders, Shen Yuquan saw the plans of the army from the telescope, but Han Yunhua had already expected these things. In Han Yunhua's view, the army belongs to Wang Ba, and if you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back, and if you hit the south wall, you will be rerouted. It is said that if the army has not been able to attack the mountain pass for a long time, it will definitely take the road to directly attack the hinterland of the base area, and the relatively low and gentle mountain junction has become the first choice.

For this reason, Han Yunhua specially built a large number of defensive bunkers at the junction of these mountains. The bunkers he commanded were ingenious. At the top of the high ground at the junction of the mountains is a flat round platform, which is the fortification position of the garrison side according to the convention. It should be built on the ridge of the cliff platform, so that you can have an unobstructed view of the dynamics of the attacking side and also facilitate the condescending development of firepower. However, Han Yunhua built the pillbox in the center of the flat round platform on the high ground, and the attacking troops could not see the defenders at the bottom of the slope, so the direct fire was ineffective, and the curved fire such as mortars could not reach the top of the mountain. If there is an attack here, the enemy's attacking force has just rushed up a steep slope, and as soon as it emerges, it will be immediately knocked down by the snipers of the 77th Brigade of Reading Force. And the machine guns in the pillboxes will make the enemy attack troops dare not even raise their heads.

Tetsujiro Yamada led a large army to the bottom of the cliff quickly, the cliff is almost at a right angle of 90 degrees more than ten meters high, and it is really difficult to climb it by manpower, but Tetsujiro Yamada knows that wars are often fought by accident, and if you can make a name for yourself unexpectedly by the enemy, you can achieve victory. If you can make the impossible possible, then you can get a head start in war.

Judging from the experience of Yamada Tetsujiro Daisa, it is very likely that the enemy commander placed several defensive units at the junction of these mountains, but he did not receive an attack until the ladder was erected and the soldiers climbed up the cliff one by one.

However, Yamada Tetsujiro Daisa's good mood also ended here, when the soldiers on the ladder just showed their heads, they heard a few gunshots "pop, pop", and several soldiers who showed their heads quickly fell off the ladder.

Next, no matter what the soldiers try to do, as long as they dare to show their heads, they will be attacked, and there will be basically no survival. Based on Yamada Tetsujiro Daisa's rich combat experience, it is not difficult to see that the Shina army is equipped with a large number of sniper rifles, and it is also equipped with 97 sniper rifles in the imperial system.

Yamada Tetsujiro Osa's will to fight is still very tenacious. This casualty did not shake his determination to attack in any way, but only provoked his murderous name.

I saw Yamada Tetsujiro Osaku angrily scolded the country and said: "Order, the first squadron will attack the first mountain junction, the second squadron will attack the second mountain pass junction, and the third squadron will attack the third mountain pass junction, remember to attack the mountain cliff at all costs, and also build one or two defensive positions on the top of the cliff." ”

"Hail"

"Hail"

"Hail"

Next, the defensive troops of the 77th Brigade suddenly felt the pressure, and the army was like a tide, wave after wave, and a batch was beaten down, and someone would soon make up for it. The top of the cliff has been covered with the corpses of devils, because there are too many corpses, it has seriously affected the shooting of the soldiers in the bunker, and at this time, the army used the corpses of the dead comrades as a bunker to resist the bullets fired from the bunker, and after a while, more than a dozen devils built a simple defensive position on the top of the cliff to confront the defenders of the 77th Brigade of Reading Force.

However, the army did not understand Han Yunhua's determination to eliminate the army, and when building the bunker, Han Yunhua expected that the national special surname of the army would not stop until the goal was reached, and it was very likely to attack the mountain cliff, so in order to reduce the pressure on the frontal bunker, Han Yunhua built two bunkers on each of the two cliffs on the side, and the soldiers in the bunker would not expose themselves until the critical moment, but once the army attacked the cliff, the soldiers in the bunker would participate in the attack.

I saw that the originally flat mountain revealed several black holes when the army was not paying attention, and a Type 92 heavy machine gun showed its hideous face.

"Click....tower....tower...."A burst of gunfire rang out, and the unsuspecting army was taken by surprise, and the newly built defensive position was quickly destroyed, and the thirty or forty devils hiding inside also went to see their "Aunt Amaterasu".
