Mt. Zao, located between Miyagi and Yamagata prefectures in Japan, is nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, and its main peak, Zao Rangfeng, is an active volcano surrounded by hot springs and four distinct seasons. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Originally, the scenery was beautiful, but now there is artillery fire here, countless shells are fired up from the bottom of the mountain, the trees are broken, the rocks are shattered, the dust is flying, and the smoke of the sea of fire covers the sky and the sun, just like a hell.

After Lunma was deflated in the Battle of Sendai, he left only two divisions to defend Sendai, not to defend Sendai, because Sendai was too close to the coastline and could not be defended under the powerful naval artillery fire of the Imperial Chinese Navy. Therefore, the task of these two divisions was to hold back the Chinese Imperial Army attacking Sendai, so that Lunma could mobilize a large army to attack the 16th Town of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army on Zao Mountain.

At this moment, the sixteenth town of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army is on Zao Mountain, surrounded by Japanese troops, there are as many as 160,000, and the equipment is also very sophisticated, and a considerable part of the divisions and regiments use the equipment eliminated by the Chinese Imperial Shence Army a few years ago.

These weapons and equipment of the Chinese Empire were originally used to win over the Nohku government, arm the Japanese troops under Nengjiu, and then let the Nengjiu Japanese army attack the knowing Japanese army, let the Japanese kill each other, and consume Japan's vital forces and resources.

With the rebellion of Lunma, more than 200,000 Japanese troops in the Sendai theater all mutinied and became enemies of the Chinese Empire, and a large number of advanced equipment from the Chinese Empire in their hands posed a serious threat to the officers and soldiers of the 16th Town of the Chinese Imperial Army on Mt. Zao.

"Haha! Under such ferocious artillery fire, it is expected that those Chinese Imperial Divine Army, who thought they were the first in the world, must be in great pain at this moment, and regret coming to invade our Great Japanese Empire! ”

Lunma smirked, completely forgetting that yesterday in the Battle of Sendai, his troops were beaten by the Imperial Chinese Navy.

"Your Excellency, as long as you can eliminate the sixteenth town of the Chinese Empire's Shence Army on this mountain, then the whole world will be shocked, because since the founding of the Chinese Empire, no country's army has ever been able to completely annihilate the entire town of the Chinese Empire's Shence Army. If he is wiped out by His Excellency the Shogun, then His Excellency's prestige will directly catch up with His Royal Highness Prince Nohisa, the hero of the entire Empire of Japan, and the god of war in the army. ”

Lieutenant General Da Shanyan, who was standing next to Lunma, said to Lunma with a flattering face.

Len Mahaha laughed, feeling very useful for Dashan Yan's words.

More prestige than Prince Nohisa?

Lenma glanced at Dashan Yan, a little surprised, he really wanted to stand on his own, break away from Prince Nengjiu, and replace him. Now is the time of the great chaos in Japan, when the heroes compete and show their powers, no ambitious person will be willing to be under others, Lunma is this thought, but it was actually seen by Dashan Yan, if this is known by Prince Nengjiu, it will not be a second.

Seeing Lunma frowning, Da Shanyan was also startled, realizing that he was talking too much, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates are always willing to follow the general to the death!" ”

Lunma was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Dashanyan, are you very optimistic about me?" You must know that I have offended the Chinese Empire now, and I am the most hated person by the Chinese Empire's Divine Army, and they must definitely get rid of it as soon as possible, and you defect to me at this time? Aren't you afraid of His Royal Highness Prince Nengjiu? ”

Dashan Yan said: "It is better for subordinates to believe in their own vision and send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake!" You are definitely more promising than His Royal Highness Prince Nohisa, you are young, Nohisa and Mingzhi are old, they have completely lost their popularity, and now you have ascended to the top and shouted, presumably there are countless Japanese people. The Chinese Empire seems to be strong, but this is not the Chinese Empire itself, so the victories of the Chinese Empire's army are only temporary, and one day we will be driven out, and then you will be the new Emperor's Majesty. ”

When Lunma saw Da Shanyan kneeling down and worshipping himself, he immediately laughed, no matter whether Da Shanyan was sycophant or fake, this Dashanyan said that he was in his heart.

"Good! As long as I can become the emperor in the future, you will be the first hero! ”

Dashanyan bowed his head again and thanked him, in high spirits.

By this time, five rounds of shelling had ended.

The entire Zao Mountain is on fire, and black smoke is billowing out.

"Guerrilla gives!" (Attack!) ）

The Japanese army of Lunma screamed and launched a full-scale attack.

More than 100,000 Japanese troops charged at the same time from all directions.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the positions of the Chinese Imperial Army had been bombed beyond recognition.

This was the first time that the Chinese Imperial Army had tasted the bombardment of 155-mm howitzers made by their own country, and the officers and soldiers of the entire 16th Town were angry and gritted their teeth.

"Phew! it! These little devils raised by bitches, I have to chop them up and feed them to the dogs! ”

Li Yuanhong, the commander of the 16th Town, who crawled out of the sand, spit out his mouth full of mud and sand, and cursed.

On the position, soldiers kept crawling out under the mud and sand.

The 155-mm howitzer of the Chinese Empire, known as the sandstorm, has now made the officers and soldiers of the 16th Town experience it for themselves, and they are all angry and want to tear the Japanese devils apart.

"Little Japan is up!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Li Yuanhong gave an order, and the officers and soldiers of the 16 towns took their positions and prepared for battle.

Because the supply depot in Kawasaki was forced to blow up, the supply of the 16 towns was also interrupted, and now it is surrounded by Mt. Zao, the officers and soldiers of the 16 towns can only save bullets, and do not dare to burst out with a shuttle bullet like before, but shoot a single shot, putting the enemy close before firing.

Fortunately, the Chinese Empire was not too confident about the government organized by Prince Nengjiu, so it did not equip the Japanese army with tanks and airplanes.

At this moment, the Japanese army attacking Zao Mountain, because there were no tanks to open the way, and there were no planes to cooperate with the attack, which greatly reduced the Japanese army's attack firepower, and also reduced the defensive pressure of the officers and soldiers of the 16th Town of the Chinese Empire on Zao Mountain.

"Eighty meters!"

"Steady! Get closer and fight again! ”

"Don't give the Japanese artillery a chance to support!"

……

"Fifty meters!"

"Hit me hard!"

Li Yuanhong gave an order, and the officers and soldiers of the 16 towns opened fire angrily.

Da! Dada!

Dada! Da!

The automatic rifle became a point *** degree was ensured, and the well-trained soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army put the Japanese troops into a distance of fifty meters and opened fire, which immediately caused huge casualties to the Japanese troops.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

The crisp sound of mortars rang out, and one mortar shell after another shot out of the trench, fell into the Japanese army, and exploded, countless shells and fragments were shot in all directions, harvesting the lives of the Japanese soldiers.

"It's so ferocious! Evacuate! ”

Some Japanese troops were frightened and turned around and ran, so a large number of Japanese troops retreated in fear of battle, and the attack failed.

"Bastard! A bunch of rubbish! ”

When Lunma saw that his men were beaten back, he immediately blew his beard and glared angrily.

"General, the mortars of the Imperial Chinese Army have the advantage of close engagement, can provide short-range artillery support, and their ballistics are curved, and they can be launched from the trenches of the Imperial Chinese Army to strike at our ground offensive forces. ”

Lenma, of course, also understands that this time calm down.

"Shelling! Kill them for me! ”

The Japanese shelled again, and although Li Yuanhong was angry, he didn't want to touch his head and urgently ordered the soldiers to withdraw from their positions.

The Japanese army repeatedly launched attacks, but they were all repulsed by Li Yuanhong's troops.

The Sixteen Towns were condescending, occupying advantageous and dangerous locations, and there were mortars, flamethrowers, snipers and other mountain warfare weapons, causing huge casualties to the Japanese army.

For a whole morning, the Japanese suffered thousands of casualties, but they failed to break through any of the defenses of the Sixteen Towns.

Lunma was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and immediately discussed countermeasures with Dashan Yan and other officers, and it was difficult for the Sixteen Towns to be injured and weakened by the heavy casualties, so he decided to use the tactics of the same end and send a death squad.

The Japanese army had a numerical advantage, and if the tactics of ending up together were adopted, then the Chinese Imperial Army could not afford to replace it.

"Your Excellency General, let's have lunch first! Fight again in the afternoon after eating and drinking! The minister personally led the troops to charge, and he must open a gap and destroy this Chinese imperial army! ”

Dashan Yan swore and said.

When Lunma heard the other party call himself a minister, he suddenly felt comfortable, and nodded in agreement.

So the Japanese suspended the attack and began to have lunch.

At the same time, on Zao Mountain, Li Yuanhong and other soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army smelled the smell of rice wafting up from the mountain, and their stomachs were gurgling.

"Damn, we're drinking the northwest wind, but little Japan is eating fragrant rice!"

Li Yuanhong was very unhappy, and immediately said angrily: "Come on, prepare the commando!" Lao Tzu personally led the team, and we must not let the little devils come to fight with us when they are full of food and drink! ”

Commandos, that is, special forces in town-level units of the standing army.

In peacetime, the Standing Army of the Chinese Empire had only more than 12,000 personnel, and the special forces were directly subordinate to the Theater Command in peacetime. During the war years, the standing army of the Chinese Empire was expanded to 25,000 men, and the special forces in the theater were delegated to the towns and handed over to the direct command of the division commanders of each town.

The 16th squad of the special forces under the jurisdiction of the 16th Town, with a strength of about one platoon and 152 people, is equipped with various advanced weapons such as sniper rifles, assault rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and flamethrowers.

Li Yuanhong personally led the team and led the assault team to sneak to the Japanese camp, preparing to attack the Japanese army's grain depot, ammunition depot, and Japanese headquarters and other targets.

"Get their ammunition depot!"

In the end, Li Yuanhong decided to concentrate his forces on attacking the ammunition depot. His goal was very simple, to destroy the Japanese ammunition depot, then the Japanese attack in the afternoon would inevitably be greatly reduced, and the defensive pressure of the officers and men of the Sixteen Towns would be relieved.

However, Lunma was not a fool, he cooperated with the Imperial Chinese Army to fight against the Japanese army countless times, and he knew too well the formation, combat effectiveness, and tactical means often adopted by the Imperial Chinese Army.

Therefore, the Japanese army's grain depots, ammunition depots and headquarters were well defended, and Li Yuanhong was not given a chance to sneak in at all.

"Damn, how did little Japan become smarter, so tightly defended!"

Li Yuanhong is very unhappy, he can't go back empty-handed!

"Division commander, although we can't get close to the Japanese headquarters, if we lurk and snipe and plant tricks on the road where important Japanese officers often walk, we may be able to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army!"

One of the commandos suggested.

Li Yuanhong felt very reasonable when he heard it, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Soon, Li Yuanhong and the others quietly planted treacherous radium around the Japanese camp, and set up a number of sniper points in the distance, sending snipers to ambush to see if there was a chance to shoot the senior commander of the Japanese army.

"Lift out Lao Tzu's heavy artillery and bombard the Japanese camp for me! Lao Tzu can't eat, and he can't let Little Japan eat safely! ”

After returning to the mountain, Li Yuanhong was still unwilling, so he pulled out the only dozen or so artillery pieces in the Sixteen Towns.

Due to the difficult terrain of Mt. Zao, only 18 of the 36 artillery pieces of the artillery regiment of the 16 towns were transported up the mountain, and the remaining nine 155-mm medium howitzers were too heavy to reach the mountain, so they had to be blown up on the spot.

Now Li Yuanhong only has thirteen artillery pieces in his hands (the other five were destroyed by the Japanese army in the artillery battle), and he planned to use them at a critical time, but he was angry, so he used them in advance.

Knock knock!

Knock knock!

Thirteen artillery pieces opened fire, and the shells whistled and fell into the Japanese barracks, and the Japanese soldiers who were blown up suddenly flipped on their backs.

Lunma and Dashanyan, who were eating, were also swept away by the blast wave of the shell explosion, spraying their faces full of rice grains and vegetable leaves.

"Bastard! I'm! ”

Lunma, who had been holding her breath in the morning, was now restless when eating, and suddenly became angry and ordered the Japanese army to immediately launch an attack.

In the afternoon, the Japanese offensive was extremely fierce, because Lunma learned that Sendai had been broken by the Chinese Imperial Army, and the two sides were currently engaged in fierce street fighting.

The Chinese Imperial Army in Sendai was attacking extremely fiercely, and the reason was simple, King Shin wanted to reinforce Zao Mountain as soon as possible and rescue the officers and soldiers of the Sixteen Towns.

This was no longer a simple battle, and the Japanese army wanted to completely annihilate the 16th town of the Chinese Imperial Army in Zao Mountain, which was intolerable in the eyes of King Shin. Even the entire military of the Chinese Empire will never agree. This involves the prestige of the Chinese Empire's Shence Army, and if a town of officers and soldiers is completely annihilated and the town's name is canceled, it will be a great shame for the Chinese Empire and will never be allowed.

Therefore, King Xin's order to Deng Shichang was to seize Sendai as soon as possible at any cost, open the passage to reinforce Zao Mountain, and ensure that the sixteen towns would not be completely annihilated.

So Deng Shichang was also desperate, and the Pacific Fleet bombarded at any cost, firing 300,000 tons of artillery shells one after another, almost razing Sendai City to the ground. Originally, the Japanese troops of two divisions guarding Sendai were blown up by 300,000 tons of artillery shells, and they fled to their deaths.

Subsequently, the Japanese army in Sendai was less than 3,000 men, and it was no longer possible to prevent the Chinese Imperial Army from occupying Sendai.

After learning the news, Lunma was also anxious, so as soon as the battle in the afternoon began, a fierce white-hot battle broke out between the two sides.

The Japanese artillery bombarded the positions of the Chinese Imperial Army, and before the shelling was over, the Japanese launched a charge, forcing the Chinese Imperial Army to brave the artillery fire to enter the position in advance.

Whenever the Japanese approached the positions of the Imperial Chinese Army, the Japanese artillery fire came one after another, indiscriminately bombarding, exchanging a group of Japanese soldiers for a group of Chinese Imperial Army soldiers.

"Damn, it's not okay to go on like this!"

Li Yuanhong, who saw the problem, suddenly frowned. (To be continued.) )
