Chapter 1433 The storm rises

Changsha, Hunan, Yuelu Mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The campus of "Southwest Associated University", which was jointly established by National University, National Tsinghua University and private Nankai University, was crowded.

As the Nationalist Government took precautions, universities in Pingjin, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and other places moved westward one after another, so that talented people were well retained. At present, Southwest Associated University alone has more than 24,000 students, accumulating a large number of talent reserves for the Anti-Japanese War.

Today, Simao Army Command College, Southwest Army Aviation College, Southwest Air Force Aviation University, Southern Yunnan Air Defense Command College, Southwest Communication Command College, Nanchang Naval Command College, Nanchang Naval Ship College, Southwest Artillery College, Southwest Military Medical University, Southwest Military Transportation and Logistics College began to openly enroll students all over the country, among which Changsha, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an, Wuhan and other places where schools are gathered have become the focus of enrollment, and the Changsha Yuelu Mountain area, which brings together more than 60 North China universities, It's even more important.

On a tree-lined road in front of Yuelu Academy, a boy chased a girl and asked eagerly, "Zhujun, don't you really think about it?" You said you went north with us today, why did you suddenly change your mind and not leave? Could it be that your thinking suddenly fell behind and you no longer advocate resisting Japan and saving the country? ”

"How so? I still advocate anti-Japanese resistance! However, now that An Jiajun suddenly recruits young intellectuals from all over the country to enter major military academies for further study, learn professional skills, and contribute to the country and the nation, why is it still obsessed with going north? Isn't joining the Anjia Army the same anti-Japanese resistance? ”

A beautiful girl with short ear-length hair and a blue dress and a black dress smiled and said to the boy who caught up with him: "And, Zijin, you can't deny that so far, for this reason, all the great victories against the Japanese army have been achieved by the An Jiajun, I think that going to the southwest, by constantly improving yourself, using scientific means, modern equipment and organizational strength to improve yourself, you can better fight devils!" Or, Zijin, you can sign up with me! ”

"I'm not going—"

The young man's face was heavy, and he looked indisputable: "An Jiajun is just a local army, and An Yi himself is an old warlord, an evil capitalist who made his fortune by absorbing the surplus value created by the workers and peasants!" Whether it is An Yi himself or An Jiajun, they cannot represent the advanced direction of the development of productive forces, and they are destined to be eliminated by history! The only way out is to go north! ”

"Where are productivity developments?"

The girl smiled suddenly, her eyes were bent like a crescent moon, she stroked the bangs on her forehead, and said with a smile: "I only know that the steel needed by the whole *** factory is provided by An Jiajun, and the transportation vehicles across the country, including the buses and ships you take to the north, are also produced by An Jiajun's factory, and even the suits you wear now, the toothpaste and toothbrush you use to rinse your mouth, and the instant noodles you eat in order to save money and time are all produced by An Jiajun, how can you say that they can't represent the direction of the development of productive forces?" Is it true that the productive forces must be combined with the ideals and doctrines you adhere to in order to be advanced? ”

The young man suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, his eyes were red, he grabbed the girl's white little hand, held it in front of his heart, and said loudly: "Zhujun, I solemnly ask you, go north with me!" I hope...... I want to be a revolutionary partner with you and fight side by side, and I don't want to be an opponent in the future......"

"Opponents?"

The girl's face changed, and she shook off the young man's hand: "Zijin, since you are obsessed with your ideals and ambitions, do you still need feelings?" I know that during this time, you are contacting people everywhere to go north, one more or less, and I don't care. Zijin, you know what? I don't want to live a life of displacement, and the An Jiajun is undergoing large-scale regularization and modernization, and it needs a lot of young intellectuals to join. As long as I join the An Family Army, I can also show what I have learned and contribute my meager strength to resist Japan and save the country! Staying in the rear, producing guns and ammunition used by soldiers to kill the enemy, medicines and medical equipment for treating the wounded, and even just being an ordinary primary school teacher and cultivating the next generation of *** people for the Chinese nation are actually contributing to the resistance against Japan...... Zijin, I don't want to be your opponent in the future, I have confidence in An Jiajun and General An Yi, he is by no means the kind of person who likes to fight a civil war regardless of the interests of the country and the nation...... Ah, the music is sounding, I have to sign up, goodbye, Zijin, I wish you to be able to realize your ideals as soon as possible! Let us work together for the rise of the Chinese nation! ”

With that, the girl turned around and left without hesitation, leaving the pale boy standing there with a look of grief and frustration.

At nine o'clock in the morning, in the small square located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, the banners of the enrollment points of the ten military academies of the An Jiajun had just been hung out, and the battle flags of the model battalions and flying foxes of the Anjia Army had just been unfurled in the mountain breeze, and the military song of the An Jiajun "Jing Loyal to the Country" sounded loudly in the loudspeaker of the tape recorder, and the enrollment points were quickly surrounded by students who came to consult and sign up.

An Jiajun's prestige is known to the world, and if he can become one of them, what a glorious thing it would be!

What is especially exciting is that as long as you are admitted to the above ten military schools, not only will you have no room and board, but you will also get a living allowance of five oceans every month, which is a great help to yourself and your family in this difficult war years.

Therefore, in the face of the temptation of reality, the original ideals and persistence were suddenly shaken, and groups of enthusiastic young people embarked on a completely different road to save the country.

He Jian, chairman of Hunan Province, and Liu Xiang, chairman of Sichuan Province, dressed in civilian clothes, accompanied by staff and dozens of attendants and guards, strolled to the Aiwan Pavilion in Qingfeng Gorge of Yuelu Mountain, and suddenly heard the majestic music of "Serving the Country with Loyalty", Liu Xiang was greatly surprised, He Jian immediately sent someone to inquire, and a quarter of an hour later, after listening to the report of the attendants, He Jian sighed again and again:

"An Yi is a big man, he created ten military universities in one go, and personally served as the president of these ten universities, he didn't care about the old man's face at all, I think now the whole army in the country, only he can do this kind of thing......"

"I can't see through this young man, he used to have a stiff with Lao Jiang several times, but he always reconciled as before, little by little to promote the development of the country's anti-Japanese cause, especially the Xi'an incident at the end of three or six years, he turned the tide, but he was not proud of himself, and still silently developed himself, why did he suddenly become so high-profile now? Isn't he afraid that Lao Jiang will be jealous of picking him up? It seems that he is still too young to know how to keep his eyes dirty! Liu Xiang shook his head disappreciatively.

"An Yi's situation is different from ours, and it can't be measured by our situation!" Yi Shuzhu, secretary general of the Hunan Provincial Government, who accompanied him, said with a wry smile:

"Now in the third war zone, almost all of them are supported by An Jiajun, and it is not surprising that he has this kind of confidence. I guess it was also because of the central government's frequent mistakes in military decision-making that he simply threw aside everything and let go of his own strength, and was no longer limited to the requirements of the central government! I guess he'll have a series of big moves after that......"

Liu Xiang thought thoughtfully, strolled for a while, and sat down in the pavilion: "Yes, he is not like us, whether it is economic or military, he has a solid foundation, and almost all of the people in charge of the front-line troops are his descendants or brothers in life and death, it is useless for Lao Jiang to buy it, and in terms of equipment and money, who can compare to An Jiajun?" I think that with the expansion of the scale of the Sino-Japanese war, Lao Chiang's descendants will not be able to live a nourishing life in the future...... I'm afraid it will be the world of this son in the future. ”

"Brother Fu Cheng is reasonable!"

He Jian was suddenly in a bad mood, and complained helplessly: "The Hunan army under my command has been almost split up by the old man, and now I only have one security brigade in my hands, a veritable commander of the light pole, and it is estimated that I, the chairman of Hunan Province, will soon move my nest!" I now understand more and more a truth, the truth only exists within the range of guns, and whoever has the strongest troops has the right to speak, so even if An Yi is recruiting troops now, the old man can only look at it and slander it, and he doesn't dare to make any real moves. Brother Fu Cheng, you should learn from my affairs! ”

Liu Xiang nodded silently, did not answer, and looked at the couplet engraved on the pavilion with a heavy heart: "Although the sunset is close to dusk, the day is in the mountains, and the morning sun is out to sea; The autumn air is never more solemn, Danfeng is picturesque, how fragrant is red peony", tasted for a while, suddenly rolled between the chest and abdomen, coughed violently, and when he wiped the filth from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, he found that it was full of blood.

......

, Tokyo, Imperial Palace, Supreme Command of the Japanese Navy and Army.

The members of the Supreme Command of the Japanese Army are composed of the five ministers of the Cabinet, the military attaché of the Emperor's Chamberlain, the War Department and the Navy Department, of which the members of the War Department include the Army Staff (the Base Camp Army Staff Department, the Base Camp Army Adjutant Department), the Army organs (subordinate to the Chief of Staff, including the Military Station Command Department, the Army Reporting Department, the Army Espionage Agency, the Army Administration Department and other departments), the Army Minister, the Commander of the Front Army, and the necessary retinue personnel to handle relevant military and political affairs. The Lord of the Admiralty and his retinue shall be composed.

Decisions are made at a meeting of the Supreme High Command, which includes the five ministers of the Cabinet, the two commanders of the army and navy, the first ministers of the two high commands, and the commanders of the front armies.

In order to strengthen the accuracy of military and political decision-making, on this basis, a council of the Supreme Command was set up, and the personnel below the deputy head of the two commands, mainly the heads of the departments and sections responsible for operations, attended the meeting according to the proposal.

At half past ten o'clock in the morning, the long-awaited Imperial Meeting of the Supreme Command officially began, attended by Prime Minister Fumima Konoe, Foreign Minister Hirota Hiroki, Land Prime Minister Sugiyama Moto, Sea Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, Tibetan Prime Minister Kabaya Kogi, Chief of Staff of the Leisure Palace, North Korean Governor Nanjiro, Commander of the Kwantung Army Terauchi Shouichi, Deputy Chief of Staff of Tada Jun, First Chief of Staff Shimomura Ding, Chief of Military Command of Fushimi Palace, Deputy Chief of Military Command Department of Shigetaro Yutata, Governor of Taiwan Takuzao Kobayashi, First Minister of Kondo Nobutake, Ishihara Wan'er, who is currently chief of staff of the North China Front, made an exception to attend the meeting.

Lu Xiang Sugiyama Yuan first introduced the situation of the war in China, and gave a detailed introduction to the current arrangements of the Chinese and Japanese teams in Northeast China, North China, Huanghuai, Songhu, Guangdong, Fujian, and Guangxi. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi also explained the current situation of the various fleets of the Navy.

In view of the increasingly severe material supply situation in China, it has become the current consensus that the navy and army have reached a compromise to occupy most of China as soon as possible and rely on China's resources to alleviate the various contradictions looming in China.

As the two nominal supreme commanders of the navy and army finished their explanations, the governor of North Korea, Nanjiro, the governor of Taiwan, Kobayashi Takuzo, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, and the commander of the Kwantung Army, Terauchi Shouichi, also briefly talked about the situation under their own rule, and then the meeting handed over the right to speak to Ishihara Waner.

Facing the veterans of the military and political circles, Ishihara stood up and walked to the large Chinese map hanging on the wall of the conference room, pointed to the map and talked eloquently:

"Before the North China War was fully launched, because the rule of Korea, Taiwan, and Manchuria was already very solid, we only needed to unswervingly continue the policy of colonizing Korea, Manchuria, and even operating the Sino-Japanese demilitarized zones such as Jidong, Suiyuan, and Chahar, so as long as it took 20 to 30 years, we could completely digest these places, and the new generation in the above areas will be the same as the Koreans in the central and southern regions of Korea, only knowing that there is ***, but not China, which is also after the North China Incident, The main reason why I have been trying to advocate a peaceful settlement with the Government of China.

"However, the situation is now different from the beginning of the war, because we have transferred a large number of troops into the pass, resulting in the emptiness of Manchuria's defenses, giving the Soviets an opportunity to take advantage of the Chinese Red Army officers and soldiers under their control to form a Manchurian guerrilla force composed of regular troops, taking advantage of the opportunity of a large-scale war in North China, suddenly attacked, and in one fell swoop took the areas east of the Mudanjiang and Songhua rivers in Manchuria, and after obtaining the laborers and miners of China, the forces developed rapidly, and then attacked again, took North Manchuria, and threatened Harbin and Qiqihar. In the middle of this month, the Manchurian guerrillas struck again and launched a decisive battle with at least nearly 100 regiments in the Jilin City to Tumen area in East Manchuria, blocking the Beijing-Tuzhou Railway and occupying all the towns along the railway except Dunhua City.

At the same time, according to what Senior General Minamijiro has just said, the Manchurian guerrillas have entered the northeastern part of Korea, and the north of the port of Kiangjin has fallen into the hands of the Manchurian guerrillas. From the above circumstances, it can be shown that Manchuria and Korea are no longer a stable life supply line for the empire, and the future of the empire is full of dangers and challenges! Why? The Manchurian partisans are backed by the Soviet Far East and can be supplied at any time, and our *** will no longer be effective. At the same time, the lofty mountains and mountains of Manchuria and Korea will greatly hinder the operations of our large corps, and no matter which front we invest our troops, once they are separated by the rugged and steep mountains, there will be huge gaps and loopholes between the various units that we have participated in the encirclement and suppression, and if they are mastered by the Manchurian guerrillas who are good at mountain warfare, they will bring us heavy losses.

"Your Majesty, two highnesses, my lords, I don't know if you have noticed an interesting phenomenon, the places occupied by the Manchurian guerrillas are almost all mountainous areas bordering the Soviet Far East, that is to say, due to the unexpected rise of the Manchurian guerrillas, between our Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Red Army, a buffer zone of forces has been constructed, and we occupy the rich areas with developed industry and agriculture in the plains, while the Manchurian guerrillas occupy the mountainous areas with magnificent terrain, forming a clear confrontation line. Prior to this, our Kwantung Army had to deploy troops in important cities and towns, and also lay heavy troops in the areas bordering the Soviet Far East, which virtually diluted the empire's already extremely limited forces, but with the emergence of the Manchurian guerrillas, we had no space, but on the contrary, we could concentrate our forces in the plain areas that were convenient for the mechanized operations of large corps, and the number of troops at our disposal had increased invisibly!

"Therefore, in response to this situation, we can actually take the initiative to withdraw from the mountainous areas of Manchuria. We will arrange huge minefields in the areas where the plains transition to the mountains and forests, as well as the no-man's land full of thorns and stingers and plagues, and then build a trench tens of meters wide on the periphery of the line, build an unstoppable fortress group outside the trench, and then connect the fortress with the big cities by a railway and highway network, and strive to make every city rush to support at will within half a day. At the same time, we increased the control and construction of the group tribes, so that the Manchurian guerrillas could no longer obtain personnel supplies, so that the empire could concentrate more financial resources and troops for other battlefields. As for North Korea, on the one hand, Korea is close to the empire, and the coastline is all over the place, and the empire can send a large army to exterminate it at any time, and in addition, after more than 40 years of colonial rule, the people in most parts of Korea have regarded themselves as real people, if the Manchurian guerrillas dare to go south, I would like to let him taste the taste of the people's war. ”

The room burst into applause, and everyone was impressed by Ishihara's unique and incisive analysis.

Ishihara bowed to everyone and continued: "The foundation of the Manchurian guerrillas lies in the Soviet Far Eastern Red Army, and now, with the death of Trotsky in Tokyo, there must be a battle between the Far Eastern Red Army and Moscow. As long as the Red Army in the Far East is defeated, the Manchurian guerrillas will lose their supplies, and then we will be flanked from the east and west, and the Manchurian guerrillas will be destroyed only in an instant.

"Don't worry about the reaction of the United States, Britain and other Western countries, now that Germany and Italy have opened their fangs of expansion, I judge that in less than half a year at most, Germany will send troops to occupy Austria, and then it is likely to annex Czechoslovakia and achieve Hitler's dream of establishing a Greater German Reich, at which time the attention of Britain and the United States and other countries will be constrained by it. At that time, no matter what we do in the East, they will continue to choose a policy of appeasement in order not to complicate the international situation. Of course, the time to attack the Far East must be after Germany has started in Europe, otherwise, we will bear the anger of Europe and the United States alone, and we will be extremely passive in diplomacy and military.

"Well, since it has been established that the time for our attack on the Far East will be half a year later, then where will our forces be used before that? Zhina, it can only be Zhina! Your Majesty, the two Highnesses, and your Excellency, please look at the map, the generalissimo of the three armies in China, in my opinion, at best, only has the ability to command a regiment to fight, he actually transferred millions of troops to North China, where supply is extremely difficult, and the two railway bridges on the Yellow River have been blasted on the 17th of this month by our heroic army intelligence agencies and the Zhinahui Daomen and other organizations that we have bought, although the government of China has organized sappers to repair overnight, but it will take at least three days to complete the repair, and, Among the soldiers guarding the bridges in China, there are our agents, who can blast the two railway bridges again at any time, which means that the more than a million troops are like old hens clucking in our cages, ready for us to slaughter. ”

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room, and everyone was looking forward to the scene.

Ishihara also smiled, and only after the conference room calmed down did he continue: "Of course, what is especially crucial is that under the instigation of the hidden personnel of the North China secret service, the North China garrison robbed the Anjia Army Station in Baoding and looted all the strategic materials worth tens of millions, causing the 68th Division of the Anjia Army, the Southwest Air Force and the Air Defense Force stationed in Baoding to go south. At present, the 68th Division and the Air Defense Brigade have already marched to Bengbu, and it is expected that they will continue to move south to join the First Group Army led by An Yi and undertake the Jiangnan operation.

"Your Majesty, the two Highnesses, and your Excellency, this is a great victory for the imperial intelligence organs, the same weapon, used in the hands of different people, it is definitely a completely different effect, although according to our feedback, the Baoding military station is stored in the old artillery, machine guns, submachine guns and rifles manufactured by the Syrian Military Industrial Group three or five years ago, but according to the situation captured from the battlefield, the performance of many weapons equipped by the Anjia Army is even better than the standard equipment that our army is using now, This huge amount of military supplies fell into the hands of a group of lambs, what a God bless empire! As long as we concentrate our forces and wipe out the Chinese army north of the Yellow River in one fell swoop, we will wipe out half of the three million Chinese army, and we will also receive a large amount of military resources generously donated by the Anjia army, which will greatly increase the strength of the empire. Then, we can cross the Yellow River with lightning speed, take the defense-empty regions of Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Anhui, and bring the richest plains of China under the control of the empire. As for the mountainous areas in the west, if they can occupy them, they will occupy them, and if they can't occupy them, they will adopt the strategy of Manchuria, create no man's land, establish group tribes, and in short, not consume too much of the empire's troops.

"Once the main force of the Chinese army is annihilated, the determination of the Chinese government to resist will inevitably be shaken, and its government will be rapidly divided, even if it cannot be forced to land Chiang Kai-shek within three months, it will be enough for the top of its government to quickly ***, and then we can justifiably support a government that listens to us, make full use of the rich products of the China Plain, and serve the great cause of the empire. But I have to remind you that you can't *** the people of China at will, manpower is also a huge resource, not to mention anything else, that is, those ditches and fortresses in the Northeast, North China, and Huanghuai regions need a lot of manpower to build, if all the people of China are wiped out, do you want the warriors of the empire to build them?

"Here, I also have to praise General Matsui Ishine, commander of the Songhu Front, and General Koichi Ishikawa, commander of the Zhejiang Front, who used their excellent performance to firmly drag the Anjia army in the Jiangnan area and could not move, which caused such a good fighter for the empire. Gentlemen, the role of a tiger is not only his sharp teeth, but the leading role it can play, under the encouragement of the tiger, even a sheep can exert a hundred times the combat effectiveness, on the contrary, a group of tigers, if led by a cowardly sheep to lead the army, then, defeat is just an overnight thing. Therefore, the Anjia army was pinned down in the Jiangnan region of China, which is of extremely important strategic significance, and I am very proud that the empire has such a good general! ”

Ishihara's words made all the members of the Supreme Command who felt confused about the future shine, and everyone couldn't help but stand up and applaud and congratulate Ishihara Waner's genius strategic vision.

Emperor Hirohito was very satisfied, and glanced at the chief of staff of the Kanin Palace, and then the Kanin Palace discussed with Lu Xiang Sugiyama Moto, and finally proposed by Lu Xiang Sugiyama Yuan, the Supreme Command meeting passed the lightning pass, officially appointing Ishihara Waner as the commander of the North China Front, with the rank of general, leading the war against China.

History has changed completely, and Ishihara, who has always kept his senses in the first place, has stepped onto the stage of history as the commander of the front army, and the war in China has changed completely, and it has taken a path that no one can predict.

......

Mirror City, the fierce war is continuing.

A brigade of Japanese soldiers and a wing of the second devils, wading across the river, approaching the front of the position, the commander of the 15th Division, Colonel Yang Chao, saw all this through the binoculars and shouted: "Fire!" ”

The combat staff quickly conveyed the order to the front line, and all the company and platoon commanders roared in unison: "Fight! ”

The first to shoot were the snipers of the special brigade scattered around the entire battle line, and a crisp gunfire rang out, and the bullets of the large-caliber sniper rifles whistled out, and the machine gunners and grenadiers of the Japanese army and the Korean mixed brigade who were shooting were shooting happily, spewing out dazzling bloody arrows and falling to the ground one after another.

Then, the infantry stood on a half-meter-high wooden bench and fired from the trench with Mosinagan rifles, and rows of bullets flew out like a violent wind, knocking down the groups of two devil soldiers who were rushing forward in front of the position.

At the beginning of the war, the proportion of sharpshooters in the Japanese army generally accounted for one-third of the entire army, that is, a brigade of 1,100 people, there were more than 300 sharpshooters, which was a rather terrible ratio. Seeing that the attack ahead was blocked, the Japanese soldiers all lay down and fired accurately. The marksmanship fed with a large number of bullets was indeed terrifying, and many soldiers of the 15th Division who were shooting with their heads outcropped were hit by one evil bullet after another and fell into the trenches.

However, the Japanese army was soon dealt a fatal blow, and the snipers of the 15th Division's special brigade calmly fired bullets one after another, 12.7 caliber armor-piercing bullets, directly flying the steel helmets of those Japanese sharpshooters with excellent marksmanship, lifting their heavenly spirit covers, and smashing their heads into rotten watermelons.

Of course, Koiso Kuniaki sent more than 4,000 Japanese and North Korean troops to charge in a mixed charge, relying only on the firepower of Mosinagan rifles, and there was no way to stop the enemy in groups.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the two devils at the front had rushed to a place less than thirty meters away from the first trench. Just when all the two devils raised their guns and howled in unison, feeling excited about their martial bravery, in the trench opposite, an overwhelming Soviet-made grenade suddenly flew out and smashed towards the *** army.

Grenades landed in the middle of the enemy troops, bursting into fireballs and countless steel fragments flying in all directions, killing and injuring all opponents in the blast range. As violent explosions rang out one after another, groups of enemy soldiers let out screams and fell to the ground.

After throwing a round of grenades, the soldiers in the first trench jumped off the wooden benches, picked up the stools and quickly retreated, through the communication ditch, to the second trench.

At the same time, dozens of carefully hidden machine gun firing points pushed away the stones that protected the shooting holes, and the muzzles of the black holes were immediately revealed, aimed at the two devils who were screaming and rushing towards the position.

Soon, the two devil soldiers rushed to the front of the first trench, but when they arrived here, they were surprised to find that it was a very wide and deep trench, and if they jumped down, they would not be able to continue shooting. Just when these two devils hesitated to jump down, the machine gunners of the 15th Division had already made a decision for them, and the crooked light machine gun and the Soviet-made Degalev light machine gun hidden in the individual bunker let out a roar together, and the bullets rained down, knocking the enemy troops who were hovering on the edge of the trench to the ground.

The enemy soldiers, who had not been killed, were surprised to find that there was no obstacle in front of the trench, so they hesitated in front of the first trench and could only be beaten in vain, so they jumped into it one by one without thinking.

After the enemy soldiers all jumped into the trench, they were surprised to find that the ditch was dug so deep and wide, and the wall of the ditch was so smooth that it was impossible to climb up, let alone shoot from the outcrop.

Yang Chao, the commander of the 15th Division, who observed all this, put down his binoculars and turned his head to give an order to the combat staff officer: "Let the mortar battalion carry out an interceptive attack on the Japanese troops who are shooting in the ground behind!" Cover the bombardier inside the second trench and throw grenades forward! ”

After receiving the order, the mortar battalion immediately entered the firing state, and the 120 Soviet-made 82mm mortars arranged in the rear positions were quickly ready for firing, and the gunners adjusted the firing elements, and then stuffed the shells into the muzzles of the guns.

"Bang

With a row of dense artillery sounds, patches of mortar shells flew into the sky, and after reaching the highest point, with a piercing scream, they smashed down to the place where the Japanese army was lying on their stomachs, and countless black and red fireballs quickly rose from the ground, and sharp fragments flew in the air, cutting through the flesh and blood of those Japanese soldiers, some of them were directly stopped and blown into two, some of them were cut off their heads, some of them were cut off limbs, and some of them were shot into a hornet's nest.

The screams and wails were endless, and the flesh and blood of the Japanese soldiers on the ground were flying. At the same time, the snipers of the division's special brigade accurately fired at those devils who were not killed by shells, and smashed the heads of devils into rotten watermelons. With the cooperation of mortars and snipers, the fighters in the second trench poked their heads out and threw locust-like grenades at the first trench.

Because the first trench was very wide and very easy to receive bombs, the overwhelming grenades fell into the first trench, blowing up the flesh and blood of the two devil soldiers who had just jumped into the trench, and screaming again and again.

Koiso Kuniaki's face was serious, he put down his binoculars, and said to Lieutenant General Nagao Takazo, the commander of the 19th Division beside him: "The Manchurian guerrilla commander on the other side is very insidious and cunning, it is estimated that he is an officer who has received orthodox training in the Soviet Union, and he is very disciplined in fighting, especially the construction of trenches, which is very targeted, and it is estimated that he has obtained the true biography of the Frunze Military Academy of the Soviet Union, and it seems that we have encountered challenges this time." ”

Nagao Takakazo thought deeply: "Yes, this is also the fundamental reason why the Manchurian guerrillas were able to develop and grow in a short period of time. Therefore, this time we must be careful and avoid repeating the mistakes of the Kwantung Army. ”

Koiso Kuniaki nodded, thought about it, raised his right hand, and ordered loudly: "Fire!" Order the artillerymen, immediately carpet cover the positions on the opposite side! ”

Li Shu Longxing, the commander of the 1st North Korean Mixed Brigade, who is also a North Korean who changed his name to ***, saw Koiso Kuniaki give an order, and hurriedly bowed: "General Koiso, my soldiers are in front, if the artillery is fired at this time, the accidental damage to our North Korean soldiers will be great, please consider carefully!" ”

Before the words fell, he only heard a "snap" slap on Li Shu Longxing's face, and saw Xiao Iso Guozhao ask coldly: "As an emperor, how can you be greedy for life and afraid of death?" Now that the Manchurian guerrillas are exposed, it is a good time to eliminate them, so should they let the fighters slip away? Yours are not worthy to be a soldier of the Empire! ”

"Hi Yi!"

Li Shu Longxing bowed his head helplessly, but he was worried about the soldiers under his command.

The Japanese heavy artillery, infantry artillery, field artillery, and mountain artillery poured a dense rain of bullets on the 15 th Division's position, and all kinds of fireballs of all sizes fell to the ground. Countless large and small fireballs rose on the ground, and violent explosions and tumbling flames merged into a dense wall of flames, and all the people who were enveloped by the wall of flames were all killed on the spot, and even their bones were blown to pieces.

The soldiers of the Second Devil Army, who were sticking to the wall of the first trench to avoid grenade attacks, suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of Japanese artillery, and the officers and men of the 15th Division were also covered by this sudden wave of artillery fire, taking away more than 200 lives. For a time, the entire front was covered with the mutilated corpses of soldiers on both sides. The bursting brains, the splattered blood, the mutilated bodies, the charred limbs, and the bodies on fire made both the attackers and the defenders feel a burst of gagging, and the filthy and tumbling heat was filled with the pungent smell of gunsmoke, blood, and bursts of vomiting scorching stench.

"Kill, give!"

Kuniaki Koiso let out a beastly roar again, and the order to attack quickly was conveyed to the frontline positions.

Taking advantage of the cover of artillery fire, the two devils and the Japanese troops did not care about the possible casualties of their own artillery fire, and in the form of a group charge, they waded through the creek and pounced on the position of the 15th Division.

It was still the old tactic, the Japanese army shot from the ground, and the two devils like a tide rushed to the first trench, the people in front fell into the trench, and the people behind were pushed in. On the position of the 15th Division in front of them, the heroic soldiers withstood the Japanese artillery fire and threw a large number of grenades, blowing up the first trench with flesh and blood flying.

In the second trench, the corpses of the officers and men of the 15th Division fell to the ground, and the living people were also scarred, but as the unit with the shortest history in the founding of the Anjia Army, every soldier adhered to the glorious tradition of their predecessors, did not waver or flinch in the slightest, and threw revenge grenades one after another, taking away the lives of batch after batch of enemies. The first trench in front was even more in shambles, the corpses of the two devil soldiers had almost filled the trench, and the blood and water flowed in the trenches, gradually converging into rivers of blood, which continued to seep out of the soil in front of the position, and then flowed into the stream in front of the position, and soon even the stream was dyed red. Sections of severed limbs and broken arms flew out of the trench, covering the entire gentle slope, which was shocking.

The follow-up two devil soldiers continued to charge the first trench fearlessly, and after about a quarter of an hour, the first trench was finally filled with the corpses of the soldiers of the North Korean mixed with the first brigade.

At this moment, the 1st Wing Commander, who is eager to make a contribution, is also one of the many corpses, and his family can no longer feel the glory he has given to his family and loved ones.

The Japanese soldiers, who were following behind the two wings of the North Korean Mixed First Brigade, let out a burst of "chirp" screams, got up from the ground, ignored the mortar shells that were whistling around them at any time, followed the two devils who continued to charge, and bravely pounced in the direction of the second trench.

The mortar battalion of the 15th Division inherited the fine tradition of the mortar artillery of the Anjia Army who quickly moved their positions after firing a few shots, so it still exerted great power under the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, making the Japanese artillery helpless. The shells of Soviet-made 82mm mortars exploded from time to time in the attacking crowd, knocking pieces of Japanese troops and two devil soldiers to the ground. The cold guns fired by the snipers of the special brigade specially beckoned the officers and commanders, Cao Chang, Jun Cao, and grenadiers in the charge, and these important people who could boost morale and give great help to the attack, fell to the ground one after another.

However, the number of people deployed on the front line of the 15th Division was far less than the charging Japanese army and the Second Devil Army, and the enemy finally stepped on the road paved with the corpses of the Second Devil and rushed all the way to the second trench.

At this time, an anomaly occurred, and the two heavy machine gun positions of the 15th Division, which had been silent on the high ground on both sides of the rear of the position, finally let out an angry roar, and the 24 Japanese-made *** heavy machine guns, 16 chicken-neck heavy machine guns, and 50 Soviet-made Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns seized from the towns along the railway line spat out tongues of fire together, like a sickle wielded by death, and swept away towards the mixed Japanese and Korean army. The tongues of heavy machine gun fire firing on both sides formed a dense crossfire, harvesting the lives of those Japanese devils and second devils to their heart's content.

Bullets whizzed into the pile, dazzling blood splashed in the air, and the soldiers who rushed to the front were mercilessly knocked down, and those who followed closely behind spurted blood mist from their chests and fell to the ground one after another.

The corpses of about two battalions guarding the second trench were already lying in the entire trench, and the living officers and men did not give up, and with the last of their strength, they threw grenades at the enemy group, and then they were also thrown down in the ditch by random gunfire.

The grenades thrown at close range blew up the enemy's flesh and blood, and the still alive were desperate to jump into the second trench, and the bloody hand-to-hand combat immediately began, and the officers and men of the two battalions of the 15th Division, hiding in the various communication ditches, took the melee sharp weapons submachine guns, shell pistols, and shotguns, made full use of the width of the trenches, like a sharp sword, and killed the mixed Japanese and Korean troops.

Not to mention the two devils, even their masters were helpless, not to mention that they were seriously inferior to the Japanese army in terms of training and quality, and the Japanese army and the two devil soldiers fell in rows, and for more than half an hour, more than 1,200 devils and more than 2,000 soldiers of the first brigade of the Korean mixed group who threw themselves into the second trench were all killed in the second trench.

Koiso Kuniaki, who was commanding the operation in the Kuniyu Cave, saw from the telescope that the defenders' positions had not reacted for a long time, knowing that this round of attack had failed, his eyes were gloomy, and he muttered for a while before waving his hand and said coldly: "Go to the death squad!" Even if that trench is a tiger's den in Longtan, I will wipe him out! ”

Soon, the North Korean mixed first brigade, which was formed by the three wings, sent the last wing, and under the cover of the powerful firepower of the two devils, one by one the devil "daredevils" who were shirtless and full of explosives were strapped to the second trench.

Among them, many "daredevils" were swept to death by machine guns on the way to the charge, but there were still a large number of "daredevils" who successfully approached the second trench.

When they stepped on the stools and faced the devils who were approaching the trenches, and were about to shoot their opponents, those ferocious enemies jumped into the trench with a few arrows, and then pulled the explosives bags on their bodies.

With a loud bang, groups of Japanese "daredevils" rushed into the trenches, for a while, the explosions in the second trench came one after another, the soldiers on both sides flew flesh and blood, under the suicide attack of the first people, the two recruit companies of the 15th Division suffered heavy losses.

Yang Chao immediately instructed to use mortars to suppress the Japanese army's daredevils, no matter what, it was necessary to resolutely stop the Japanese army's counterattack, with the dense shells *** about 500 meters in front of the second trench, almost all the Japanese "death squads" were blown to pieces, and the third wing of the Korean mixed brigade responsible for protecting the Japanese "death squad" charge was also implicated, and many people were blown off their heads, and their limbs were blown off and fell in pools of blood.

The remnants of the Japanese "death squads" saw such a fierce artillery attack and turned around and fled, but they were all buried by the extended artillery fire.

In the second wave of confrontations, An Jiajun once again defeated the opponent!
