The 151st Battle of Zhanggushan (9)
The big victory on the morning of the 9th, Han Xing is not in the mood to enjoy it. He asked Yin Zhaoli to lead the special operations battalion back to the base to rest, but he and the guard company flew to the foot of Zhanggu Mountain again. He found Zhang Lingfu, who was in the tent headquarters of the 153 Brigade Headquarters, discussing the lessons of Zhang Gushan's failure and how to occupy Zhang Gushan again.
Zhang Lingfu also knew about Majialong's victory for a long time, but Majialong's victory did not represent Zhang Gushan's victory.
Looking at the wooded Zhanggu Mountain opposite, there seem to be countless mysteries and dangers hidden in the green mountain.
Zhang Lingfu had a gloomy face, summed up the lessons of the two defeats, and said slowly: "It's not good during the day, there are little devils' planes supporting Zhang Gushan during the day, and we can't get wet." Zhang Gushan at night, and not too many troops, and there is also the artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, it is not a problem to occupy Zhang Gushan at night, but how can Zhang Gushan be held? How to deal with the flock tactics of the little devils? What's more, when it was daytime, Japanese planes came to reinforce again? ”
Han Xing was also calmly analyzing the enemy situation: "I'm also pondering, there are a few points that should be avoided, one is daytime, the second is the Japanese artillery bombardment, and then the passive defense." We can deploy 300 troops on the top of the mountain, but as the attacking side, we can rush up with thousands of people, how can we deal with this? ”
"Yes," Zhang Lingfu echoed.
"Is it okay?" Han Xing said in a consultative tone, "The attack at night is still as usual, and after taking Zhang Gushan, we don't want to be passive on the defensive." rushed down the mountain and got mixed up with the little devils, even in the daytime, the little devils' planes had no tricks, so they couldn't even blow up their people, right? ”
Zhang Lingfu thought for a while and said, "Yes, that's right, but what about the troops?" Our 153 brigade commander, with only seven or eight hundred people left, rushed down the mountain, and the strength was too thin. ”
Han Xing reminded: "What about the 51st Division, what about the 74th Army, what are they doing?" ”
"The task of our 153 Brigade is to occupy Zhanggushan and hold Zhanggushan. When you say this, you want to use the strength of the whole division and the whole army, this is Commander Wang, this is the matter of Commander Yu Jishi, I am a little too lenient. Besides, the strength of the 74th Army is also extremely tense, and the 58th Division, as you know, in the battle a few days ago, the team of more than 10,000 people was left with only 500 people, and they were basically disabled. As for our 51st Division, our 153rd Brigade suffered too heavy casualties, so only the 151st Brigade of the Reserve Army remained, and then the 151st Brigade was wiped out, and our 74th Army was really left with an empty shell. Zhang Lingfu said a little worriedly.
Han Xing argued: "The battle of Wanjialing, the annihilation of the 106th Division, this is a matter of the Ninth War Zone, and it is also a big battle of 100,000 horses and horses of the Chinese army." To put it bluntly, Zhang Gushan is the most sensitive nerve in this war, if Zhang Gushan is occupied and Zhang Gushan is held, the 106th Division will be finished, and if Zhang Gushan is let go, the 106th Division may be alive. Our forces are thin, but the opponent's forces are even more pitiful, so it depends on who can grit their teeth and hold on for the last five minutes. In this battle, we must mobilize as many forces as we can to occupy and drive the Japanese down the mountain until they are all wiped out. ”
"Well said!" Suddenly, there was a loud yell, interrupting the argument between the two.
Han Xing and Zhang Lingfu looked back and saw that Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 51st Division, was striding over. Han Xing and Zhang Lingfu hurriedly stood up and gave Wang Yaowu a military salute.
Wang Yaowu walked over, patted Zhang Lingfu's arm and Han Xing's arm and said, "You, Chief of Staff Han, said it so well, this battle is all about the army, not just your 153 Brigade. ”
Zhang Lingfu was upright again, and hurriedly said: "I just want to ask for instructions on the master's seat!" The subordinates were incompetent, captured twice, and lost Zhang Gushan twice, and asked for punishment from the division. ”
Wang Yaowu hurriedly patted Zhang Lingfu on the shoulder again and comforted him: "Your 153rd Brigade fought well, what is the crime?" In the bloody battle of Zhang Gushan, not a single brigade commander retreated, wiped out more than 2,000 Japanese troops, became a model for our army and our division, played the bloody nature of the Chinese, and killed the prestige of the Chinese. ”
When Han Xing saw that Wang Yaowu was coming, he must have come for Zhang Gushan's war, and if he could get the support of the whole division and the whole army, he would win the battle. So Han Xing hurriedly got to the point: "Brigade Commander Zhang is studying with me the battle plan for attacking Zhang Gushan again, and I just want to ask Division Commander Wang for guidance." ”
Wang Yaowu laughed and said, "I can't talk about any guidance, you have studied very well!" I've heard you talk a long time ago, and I didn't dare to disturb you. In order to present the Double 10th Festival, Commander-in-Chief Jiang ...... "Speaking of Commander-in-Chief Jiang, Wang Yaowu is a standing upright.
Zhang Lingfu also "brushed" a standing upright to show his devotion to Chiang Kai-shek.
Out of respect for Zhang Lingfu and Wang Yaowu, Han Xing had no choice but to stand upright.
Wang Yaowu said: "The commander-in-chief issued an order that all the officers and men of Xue Yue's army must annihilate the 106th Division before 24 o'clock on October 9, as a gift to ***." According to this order, all the officers and men of our 51st Division, from the division commander to the men, were dispatched, and none of them were left, and all of them were pressed up. Commander Yu of our 74th Army also made the final decision, leaving no reserves, and the whole army must be dispatched to completely annihilate the Japanese army in front of him. ”
Under the supervision of Chiang Kai-shek and under the personal command of Xue Yue, the three of them worked hard to calm down, and a complete set of battle plans was completed.
At 8 p.m. on October 9, the J-20 fighter formation led by Xu Da first carried out an air raid on Zhanggu Mountain. According to last night's practice, two Blue Arrow-7 air-to-ground missiles were sufficient, and with these two attack missiles, they blew up Zhanggu Mountain in flames, shrapnel flew randomly, and the dead and wounded were one after another, and the little devils couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south.
The little devil suffered the first two losses, and he also knew that the Chinese army was going to climb from the cliff again, but there was no way to be in a hurry, but the bullets were not powerful. Without bullets, the Type 38 rifle was not much different from a burning stick, and it could only be a rifle with a bayonet, thinking that someone who came up could stab him with a bayonet.
But the Chinese army had already calculated his move. Therefore, five helicopters flew in formation, suppressing fire on Zhanggu Mountain, and five heavy machine guns and assault rifles were "da-da......" and "sudden and sudden ......" on the top of Zhanggu Mountain, intensively strafing to cover the infantry's climb to the cliff.
The bullets were stormy, and the little devil was bare-chested and iron--he couldn't get to the side.
As soon as the devil retreated, the first batch of commandos came up and blocked the attack path of the little devil with guns, covering the attack of the commandos behind. After a while, more and more people came up, and Zhang Lingfu led all the 400 commandos of the 153rd Brigade to come up. The guard company led by Han Xing also came up.
Zhang Lingfu saw that the person was almost up, and yelled: "Kill, kill the little devil down the mountain." So, leading more than 400 commandos, like chasing ducks, they used machine guns to open the way in front, and with the helicopter support of the Southern Expeditionary Army overhead, they rushed towards the little devil.
Originally, there was heavy artillery in the wing of the little devils, a machine gun squadron in the brigade, 12 heavy machine guns in a machine gun squadron alone, and even the most ordinary squad at the grassroots level had a crooked machine gun, and the fire was indeed fierce enough. But by this time, the bullets were gone, and all the advantages were gone. If you want to withstand the attack of the Chinese army, you can only use bayonets.
At this time, in the face of the modern firepower of the Chinese army, no matter how many bayonets there are, it is just a pile of garbage.
Rows of Japanese soldiers with bayonets rushed up, fell down one row, then the previous row, fell another row, and then the previous row, and after throwing away the lives of countless Japanese soldiers, the officials finally figured it out: all dead are white mats, and human flesh cannot deal with steel bullets.
The Japanese army finally chose to retreat, and once they retreated, it would be like a flood that broke the embankment, and it could no longer be controlled.
Zhang Lingfu led the team to attack while shouting: "Don't fight with the little devil with a bayonet, just hit with a gun, hit hard-"
As soon as the little devil was beaten to the bottom of the mountain, Wang Yaowu of the 51st Division led the main force of the 51st Division to come up again, and as soon as the new force came, the morale was suddenly greatly boosted, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the two armies merged as one and continued to attack the little devil.
Some of the little devils ran and ran, and they died on the ground, and the Chinese soldiers who rushed up gave him another knife. In fact, Little Japan has long since died, this is the result of many days of starvation and illness and excessive fatigue, even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, he can't be saved.
Wherever the Japanese ran away, the Chinese troops also chased them. The Japanese army attacking Zhanggushan ran to their starting point, and in the beep street, the Chinese army also rushed in. After the Japanese defenders ran out of the few bullets they had, Beep Street was surrounded by Chinese troops.
In a small square on Beege Street, several hundred Japanese troops were pinned down here. They had run out of bullets, and they hadn't eaten for a few days, and they were all ragged, dirty, hungry with deep eye sockets, yellow and thin faces, and they didn't look like people, and ghosts didn't look like ghosts.
In the spirit of humanitarianism, Zhang Lingfu brandished a pistol and stood on a high platform and shouted: "Lay down your arms, we can protect your personal safety-"
Wu Xiaoming translated Zhang Lingfu's words loudly.
The Japanese wing commander Daisa Terada was a fanatical fascist, and hundreds of Chinese died under his hands. He shouted loudly to his Japanese officers and soldiers: "We, the Yamato nation, are excellent nations, and we must not be defeated in will." Even if we die, we will die on the battlefield, and we must not surrender in fear of death. Japanese warriors, the time has come for His Majesty the Emperor to test you--bayonets, rabbits to give-ducks to give-"
What else can we say about such a stubborn man who wears a granite head to see God?
Zhang Lingfu shouted loudly: "Fight bayonets, it's unnecessary, our soldiers are worth more than your soldiers." Machine guns, shooting-"
Dozens of machine guns roared angrily, for the dead martyrs, for all the dead Chinese, for all the suffering Chinese people, so that these Japanese invaders got the end they deserved.
On the road from this ancient mountain to Beep Street, in a few days, the Japanese army killed more than 4,000 people.
On the night of this day, General Xue Yue organized a comprehensive siege of the Japanese army, and launched a brave and tenacious assault on the Japanese troops who were encircling in the Wanjialing area, such as Liu Yigu, Laohujian, Zoumaji, Jianlu Su, Tianbusu, Wanjialing, and Beixi Street.
Each unit organized a death squad, each of which had 200-500 people, rushed to the front to break the last resistance of the Japanese army, a total of 13 death squads.
On the night of October 9, all the Japanese officers and soldiers were very difficult.
