The big radish shouted again: "Ahhh

Li Xiping was also annoyed, this big radish devil had delayed himself too much, he was so busy, how could he have time to sharpen him again, a bayonet killed him, and sent him to the Japanese emperor to report to the emperor.

At this time, the fire of war in the small highlands southeast of Songshan Pass was completely extinguished.

Zhao Xu looked at the battlefield and felt very heavy in his heart.

Although the 11th Squadron of the Japanese Army was out of food and ammunition, because of their stubborn resistance, the 3rd Battalion still paid more lives than them, and 50 or 60 officers and men lay on the offensive road and in the positions on the small high ground in the southeast. Just now, they were still alive and vivid, that is, in the blink of an eye, they used their lives to serve their country and people.

The 3rd battalion of the 618th regiment was disabled, only twenty or thirty people remained, and the first battalion did not exist anymore, and the remaining more than 100 people had already been handed over to the 3rd battalion.

Zhao Xu thought about it, and for the time being, he handed over the small southeast heights of Songshan Pass to the remaining twenty or thirty people to guard, and he and Zhang Xiaosan went to see Zhang Dawen.

After Zhang Dawen listened to Zhao Xu's report, his heart was also extremely heavy, and he did not have the joy of seizing the small highlands in the southeast, he had a gloomy face, and said to Zhao Xu: "The situation of the 618th regiment is like this, the first battalion is gone, the third battalion is left with you people, and the second battalion, there are not many people, there are more than 100 people left, this is the lifeblood of the whole regiment, if these people are gone, the 618 regiment will actually not exist." ”

Zhao Xu said: "The situation of the devils is even worse than ours, they have run out of ammunition and food, if they can seize this opportunity and work hard to attack, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." If the little devils get supplies, it will be very bad for us. ”

Zhang Xiaosan also interjected and said: "Battalion Commander Zhao is right, this opportunity will not last long, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”

Zhang Dawen thought for a while and said, "You two really think about it. ”

Zhao Xu said firmly: "We really don't have anything to do now, the troops attacking in the north are nominally three armies, in fact, there are more than 10,000 people, compared to the powerful 6th Division, with 10,000 against 40,000, it is indeed a huge disparity in strength, if we don't seize the opportunity again, it will only be a fiasco, and it will definitely be defeated." ”

Listening to Zhao Xu's words, Zhang Xiaosan couldn't help but nodded, and had to admit that Zhao Xu still had a global view.

Zhang Dawen listened to these words, and also nodded slightly, feeling that this third battalion commander Zhao Xu is still very smart, the opportunity is fleeting, if he does not actively attack the Imamura detachment at this time, once the reinforcements of the 6th Division arrive, the shape is likely to be reversed immediately.

Zhang Dawen said: "The second battalion will be handed over to you, and as for the defense of the small highlands in the southeast, it will be guarded by the remaining personnel of our battalion, and we can barely gather thirty or forty people." ”

The more than 100 people in the second battalion were handed over to Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu didn't feel relaxed at all, he closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said, "Commander Zhang, I will work hard!" It's just that what the final result will be depends on the will of God......"

Zhang Dawen also said: "No matter what the final result is, as long as we work hard to do our own things well, feel that we have fulfilled our responsibilities to the country, the people, and our families, and our hearts are calm, and this is enough." There's no need to care about what others say! ”

Zhang Xiaosan heard the heartfelt words of the two of them, and his heart was also deeply touched.

Zhao Xu led the remnants of the third battalion, plus the 100 people of the 2nd battalion, as well as this platoon of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and was actively preparing to attack the 9th and 10th squadrons of the Shibata Brigade, which had run out of ammunition and food.

At this time, the 3rd Squadron of the 9th Squadron of the Japanese Army, Hisao Shibata, was on garrison duty at Camel Mountain, and his 10th Squadron was maneuvering on the main side of the Imamura detachment.

At this time, the Imamura detachment was stopped by the 9th and 57th Divisions in front of it, and the 26th, 86th, and 48th armies counterattacked later, and it had been surrounded in the middle area between Makou Lake and Huangni Lake, and ammunition and food were all out of stock.

The main force of the 6th Division was also being entangled day and night by Li Pinxian's troops at this time, and he could not get out. However, in order to relieve the siege of the Imamura detachment, the division commander Inaba Shiro still urgently sent reinforcements from the Yamamoto Brigade on the night of the 20th, and at the same time requested aviation support. The 1st Brigade of the 45th Infantry Wing of the Yamamoto Brigade (Captain Yamamoto Takao Nakasa) set out from Guangji at 8:30 p.m. on the 20th, but encountered the 1st Division of the 32nd Division near Siwang Mountain, and the southward advance was blocked.

At 7 a.m. on the 21st, the 6th Division assembled a mixed brigade consisting of 4 infantry squadrons, 2 mountain artillery squadrons, 1 engineer squadron, and 1 baggage squadron, under the command of Ikeda Nick Shosa, the 2nd Squadron of the 23rd Wing. The Ikeda Mixed Brigade advanced less than 10 kilometers and was stopped by the 44th Division near the Iron Pier.

After learning that the reinforcements sent by the division had been blocked, the Imamura detachment ordered the Shibata Mixed Brigade to not only hold the positions around Xiangshan and Camel Mountain, but also launch a surprise attack from the east of Songshan Pass, and go to the direction of Tieshidun to meet and guide the reinforcements;

From another point of view, if Zhao Xu's third battalion can capture the area of Camel Mountain occupied by the Japanese army, it will expand the breakthrough, as long as the reinforced infantry of the 6th Division is blocked, the 26th, 86th, and 48th armies can be the main army in the north, and the 2nd army in the south, and the two national armies will work together to encircle and annihilate the Imamura detachment at the same time.

Therefore, the battle of the three battalions to attack Camel Hill was extremely important.

Before the attack, the artillery on Xiangu Mountain bombarded the Japanese troops on Camel Mountain.

Powerful artillery fire shook Camel Mountain. The powerful 105-millimeter howitzer shell set off a sky-high fireball on the camel mountain, and from this fireball, a powerful shock wave swept across the body of the Japanese soldier, the vegetation on the mountain, and the huge stones, as long as it could push, unceremoniously destroyed them all.

The shock wave had not yet passed, followed by shrapnel flying in all directions, and each shell fell, bursting with countless shrapnel in all directions in a spherical shape, as long as it touched the flesh, it unceremoniously drilled into it, and then tore, sawed, and hit, even in the scorched earth, it also unceremoniously drilled into it, and found out the flesh.

The blazing flame, draining all the oxygen, burrowed into the person's throat, and then into the person's lungs, until the air in the lungs was drunk.

The Japanese troops on the surface of the position were finished, that is, the Japanese troops who drilled into the air-raid shelters, and many of them were not spared, and the powerful shells blew up several air-raid shelters, causing the Japanese troops in the holes to die instantly.

Many Japanese troops died in the face of powerful artillery fire before they could engage in an exchange of fire with the Chinese troops.

The artillery fire swept the Camel Hill position, followed by heavy machine gun cover, and the only two remaining Maxine heavy machine ......guns of the third battalion "clicked and clicked" sounded, suppressing the position on Camel Hill.

With a wave of Zhao Xu's hand, the charge against Camel Mountain began, and this time, he concentrated all his forces. Zhao Xu understood that with this little strength, what reserves were left, and only with one blow could he take Camel Mountain and disperse the troops in a war of attrition, which was obviously stupid.

Knowing that the enemy's ammunition was running out, it was obvious that there was no need to be in a hurry to attack, but to take steady steps and attack upwards unhurriedly.

The position on Camel Hill was as if it was dead, and there was no movement for a long time, only to see that the position was as familiar as it was, still emitting wisps of smoke, and everywhere there were traces of being ploughed by shells.

The 9th Squadron Leader, Squadron Leader Nishiguro, slowly woke up, he had just been stunned by a howitzer shell.

As soon as he woke up, he immediately greeted the Japanese officers and soldiers who were still alive: "Alive, all ready to fight, the whole squadron should pay attention, we are the Great Japanese Imperial Army, and we will fight with the Chinese army to the last man." In my military honor, I guarantee that if your jade is broken, you will be rewarded, and your families will be well protected and pensioned. Do you have any worries? Not at all. Go and fight with confidence, Imperial officers and soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire......"

200 meters, 150 meters, 100 meters, 80 meters, on the position of Camel Mountain, sporadic gunfire rang out, and several Chinese soldiers fell.

Then, countless stones were thrown down and tumbling down the slope. From time to time, some stones hit the Chinese soldiers, causing casualties.

Such a formation has long been seen on the small plateau southeast of Songshan Pass. Therefore, the officers and men of the third battalion did not panic, and continued to attack with their guns in hand.

Zhao Xu shouted: "Brothers, the little devils have no bullets, they are rabbits' tails, and they don't have much to support their heads." Work hard to eliminate the little devil in front of you, and I invite everyone to drink. ”

There were still 40 meters from the mountain, and the devil's two melon grenades were thrown down, causing some casualties. But in this big battlefield, two grenades are really nothing.

30 meters later, there is still no movement on the position of Camel Mountain.

Zhao Xu shouted: "Brothers, pay attention, the little devil is about to come out, as long as he comes out, he will be shot fiercely, let them eat bullets for a while." ”

20 meters, 15 meters, and even saw the Japanese soldiers lying on the position, they were like a wolf who only needs to eat people, staring at the fierce eyes.

Ten meters later, the shout of the captain of the West Black Squadron suddenly sounded on the camel hill position: "Ducks give - rabbits give - "

All the Japanese officers and soldiers stood up with their bright Type 38 bayonet rifles, and then launched a counterattack against the Chinese army.

Zhao Xu also issued an order: "Shoot!" Hit hard-"

All the Chinese rifles fired a salvo, and more than two dozen Japanese officers and soldiers fell. But the distance was too close for a second shot, and fifty or sixty Japanese officers and soldiers rushed down and mingled with the Chinese soldiers.
