Chapter 919: Zhong Jian is sacrificed
When Sun Weiguo heard the herald's report, the expression on his face became solemn, even though the Japanese heavy artillery outside was still shelling, Sun Weiguo immediately asked the baggage battalion to assemble. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were many wounded in the field hospital, and the seriously wounded regiment-level cadres such as Fang Chaoqun and Zhong Jian were all recuperating in the field hospital, and Sun Weiguo was very worried about them and the wounded.
And Liu Qian was also in the field hospital, thinking of Liu Qian, Sun Wei's heart began to panic, he didn't dare to imagine if Liu Qian had any accidents, how he would face it.
The troops of the baggage battalion quickly assembled, and they followed Sun Weiguo to march quickly towards the field hospital.
Heavy artillery shells kept falling nearby, and a huge explosion sounded, and Wutai Mountain seemed to tremble with it.
Dust is flying, shrapnel is flying, and black gunpowder smoke completely covers Wutai Mountain, which is like a hell on earth.
A 150mm howitzer shell exploded in the marching unit of the baggage battalion, and a huge wave of air hit and dozens of officers and soldiers were blown to the ground.
The two soldiers, who were struggling to get to the point of the explosion, fell to the ground, they had no wounds on their bodies, but they showed no signs of life, and the two soldiers were shocked to death.
The officers and men of the baggage battalion experienced the test of life and death along the way, and finally the baggage battalion rushed to the field hospital after paying the price of more than 20 casualties.
The field hospital is already in shambles, several caves dug have collapsed, three have collapsed, doctors and nurses are currently urgently evacuating the wounded, and people have begun to dig in the collapsed caves, but the health team is obviously not enough.
After Sun Weiguo came here, he immediately led the officers and soldiers of the baggage battalion to start digging the collapsed caves, which were full of people.
And Sun Weiguo looked around, but he didn't see Liu Qian, he didn't see Liu Qian, Sun Weiguo was full of anxiety, but he didn't show it.
"Hurry up." Sun Weiguo shouted loudly.
There was a problem in the field hospital, the Japanese heavy artillery shells blew up the cave, and the collapsed cave buried all the wounded and doctors and nurses inside.
The Japanese heavy artillery began to extend its shells, and at 8:50 a.m. on 26 September, the Japanese troops again launched a fierce attack on Wutai Mountain.
This time, the Japanese army mobilized the main force, the 110th Brigade and the 133rd Brigade of the 110th Division, the 31st Brigade and the 118th Brigade of the 109th Division, the 62nd Wing and the 82nd Wing of the 21st Division, at the same time, the 110th Field Artillery Wing, the 109th Field Artillery Wing, the 21st Mountain Artillery Wing, and the 8th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Wing were responsible for providing artillery support, and the 110th Engineer Wing, the 109th Engineer Wing, and the 21st Engineer Wing were to support infantry operations and provide explosives assistance.
This time, three divisions of the Japanese army dispatched 10 infantry wings, 4 artillery wings, and 3 engineer wings, with a total strength of nearly 40,000 troops.
As far as the Chinese troops stationed on Mount Wutai are concerned, they have been fighting since yesterday, and the casualties of the troops are very large, especially the regimental leaders who have been wounded, which has dealt a blow to their morale to some extent, and the officers and men who have been fighting continuously have suffered great physical exertion and have begun to lack ammunition.
The attack of nearly 40,000 devil soldiers was a huge test for the Chinese troops on Wutai Mountain, and it was unknown whether they could hold Wutai Mountain again.
The Japanese troops began to attack, and they followed the previous attack route, and the corpses that could be seen everywhere had begun to decompose, and the devil soldiers walked past these corpses, and a swarm of flies flew.
The devil soldiers didn't care about such a harsh environment, they wanted to quickly capture Wutai Mountain.
The main attack was the 110th Brigade of the 133rd Division of the Japanese Army and the 31st Brigade of the 109th Division, which were deployed on the east and west sides of Wutai Mountain, corresponding to the positions of the First Regiment of Honor and the First Independent Infantry Regiment of the Jinsui Army, while the rest of the Japanese troops were covering operations.
The Japanese troops had a great advantage in strength and weapons, but it was not easy for them to take Wutai Mountain.
At nine o'clock in the morning of the 26th, the Japanese troops had begun to approach their positions, but here at the Wutaishan Field Hospital, there was bad news.
A cave that had been blown up by Japanese heavy artillery shells was excavated, and as the cave was excavated, the wounded and doctors and nurses inside were immediately rescued.
But when the officers and soldiers of the baggage battalion found Zhong Jian, the deputy commander of the Honorary Second Division and the commander of the Honorary Second Regiment, Zhong Jian no longer had any signs of life, and Liu Qian, the captain of the health team who was also treating the wounded in this cave, fell into a severe coma, and she was hit on the head by a fallen piece of wood, so she fell into a coma.
Zhong Jian sacrificed, Liu Qian was in a severe coma, these two news were like two bolts from the blue for Sun Weiguo.
He couldn't express his sadness in his heart, but Sun Weiguo couldn't show it, and the news of Zhong Jian's sacrifice had to be blocked in the whole division, so as not to affect the morale of the officers and soldiers of the whole division.
This is the first senior officer to sacrifice in the second division of honor, and for Sun Weiguo, Zhong Jian's sacrifice made him feel like he had lost an important support.
The Japanese artillerymen would never have imagined that they would make such great progress in shooting, and the little devils were still continuing their offensive, and they intended to make significant progress today.
At half past nine in the morning, forty minutes after the Japanese troops attacked, the positions of the Chinese troops at Wutai Mountain were in a precarious position, and many positions were captured by the Japanese army.
The third battalion of the first independent infantry regiment of the Jinsui Army was all sacrificed, which was the first battalion-level unit to be wiped out among the many troops in Wutai Mountain.
The devil soldiers had the advantage in numbers, and they launched wave tactics, and the waves of devil soldiers made the Chinese troops feel as if the little devils could not be defeated at all.
The officers and men are under tremendous pressure, both physically and mentally, and it is very rare for them to be able to hold their positions.
At 9:50 a.m., the 15th Brigade of the vanguard of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army arrived at the foot of Wutai Mountain, and with the arrival of the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army, the 83rd Wing of the 21st Division, which had been serving as a reserve and vigilance, began to attack, and at this time, the 110th Division, the 109th Division, and the 11st Infantry Wing under the 21st Division of the Japanese Army were all put into operation.
Tens of thousands of devil soldiers launched an attack on Wutai Mountain, and every position of the Chinese troops in Wutai Mountain showed signs of being breached, and judging from the current situation, the Japanese troops seemed to have the ability to completely annihilate the defenders of Wutai Mountain.
The fierce fighting continued, and the Chinese troops were at an absolute disadvantage, but the Chinese troops did not appear to have any officers and soldiers who abandoned their positions.
The Jin Sui army also showed a generous spirit of righteousness, and although the troops sacrificed a lot, no one took the initiative to withdraw from the position.
The spirit can be infected, and the officers and soldiers stationed on Wutai Mountain know that this is a place they must hold.
