In this air battle, the Chinese Air Force had the upper hand.

At this time, the fierce fighting of the Chinese air force was mainly carried out along the Yangtze River, and the planes bombed Fujinshan many times without encountering Chinese air force fighters, and they gradually became careless, and even the escort fighters were saved, and they never dreamed that Chinese air force fighters would rush to the Fujinshan battlefield today to carry out air strangulation. Therefore, although the Chinese army had 24 bomber planes, the Chinese air force was all eight fighters, and like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, it used the speed and agility of the fighters to chase after the Japanese bombers to attack.

Naturally, it is not possible to run for your life, and finally there is a chance for fighters to slaughter the bombers, where will the boys of the Chinese Air Force be soft-hearted, chasing the devil bombers and spitting tongues of fire non-stop. In order to reduce weight and improve the speed of escape, the devil bomber hurriedly dropped the bombs, and many bombs were dropped on the positions of the army, and the little devils who were bombed cried and called their mothers. After crying, shouting, and not forgetting to curse.

By the time the little devil fighter squadron arrived, the air battle had already ended, the Chinese Air Force fighter squadron had already finished fighting and retreated, only half of the 24 Japanese bombers had returned, and the remaining 12 were included in the heroic records of the Chinese Air Force.

Seeing that the air force had knocked out so many bombers of the Yue Army, Song Xilian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was impossible for the Yue Army to organize large-scale bombing today, and the battle of Fujin Mountain was relatively easy to fight. Hurry up and send a report to the high command to ask for credit for the heroes of the Air Force.

Who knows that the little devil doesn't think so.

Lieutenant General Ogizhou Libing, commander of the 13th Division, has made up his mind today to capture the main position on Fujin Mountain, knowing that his 13 th Division has been attacking Fujin Mountain for eight days, and it has replenished its troops four times just to replenish its troops. This time, Shunroku Hata once again gave him sufficient replenishment of troops and ammunition, and also transferred a heavy artillery brigade, which was not for him to travel with heavy troops, but for him to quickly capture Fujin Mountain and quickly advance westward. If you can't attack Fujin Mountain today, where will you put your face!

Originally, Ogisu Libing was counting on the military aviation to open the way for him, but seeing that he had lost so many fighters, Ogisu Libing knew that the aviation would not be dispatched for him again in a short period of time, and he cursed a few words in his heart for the cunning of the Chinese Air Force, and a few more words of scolding the aviation This guy's brain has been poured into the snow water of Hokkaido, and he has not equipped the bomber formation with escort fighters, causing such a big loss. After scolding, the Ogizhou soldiers made a heart and ordered all troops to step up their attacks, and be sure to capture the main position of Fujin Mountain before dark.

Under the strict orders of the Ogizhou Libing, the heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army and the 19th Mountain Artillery Wing of the 13th Division concentrated their firepower to provide fire cover for the troops, and the 13th Division was fully mobilized to launch wave after wave of continuous attacks on Fujin Mountain from the frontal position to the flank position.

Zhang Xin's company has not been down from the morning to the present, and only when the planes of the two sides fought in the air, Zhang Xin and his brothers took a little rest and nibbled on dry food.

It was said that the army fired artillery, first heavy artillery and mountain artillery volleys, and the shells fell to the ground and stirred up dust, and the entire position was shrouded in smoke and dust.

Chen Ruihe, commander of the 36th Division, personally called to inquire about the casualties of the artillery bombardment, and reported that several not very strong shelters were hit by the devil's heavy artillery, and the brothers were all covered to death inside.

Before Zhang Xin could report to the division commander, the phone was disconnected. Zhang Xin jumped out of the shelter and was about to call someone to check the line, when he saw white smoke coming out of a shell in front of him when it landed.

Zhang Xin's brain was shocked, and the little devil who said the dog was poisonous! Turning to shout to the brothers to prevent poison gassing, he jumped back into the shelter, grabbed a towel and dipped it in a bucket of water, covering his mouth and nose.

Fortunately, the 71st Army has been fighting on the front line since the Battle of Songhu, and is familiar with the tactics of the army, and the positions are equipped with water and towels, which are easy to use. But despite this, there were still soldiers who were not well prepared and were poisoned and suffocated.

After the devil cast the poison gas, he didn't wait too long for the little devil wearing a gas mask to sneak in.

Although Zhang Xin and the others made anti-poison preparations, some brothers were still poisoned, and there was a cough in the shelter department and on the battlefield. Zhang Xin checked and found that several brothers had already been suffocated, so he quickly sent someone to carry them down to rescue them. Just after hurriedly handling the wounded and treating them, the little devil touched it. Zhang Xin didn't see it well, the devil approached the position, shouted "Knock the devil down", picked up the submachine gun and caught fire. At this time, the brothers didn't care about any poisonous gas, so they grabbed their machine guns, rifles, and grenades and beckoned them together, desperately fighting back.

The little devil didn't expect that the defenders would be able to resist after the gas bomb, and they suffered a loss when they came up, and Huang Lala lay down. It's a pity that there are too many little devils, and the marksmanship is very good, and the soldiers who threw grenades in the defenders were shot one after another. Soon, grenadiers, infantry guns, and heavy machine guns from the devils followed the infantry and opened fire.

The little devil's infantry cannons and grenadiers hit very accurately, and they are definitely a sharp weapon against the defenders in the trenches. The defenders did not suppress the enemy's artillery, and could only watch as the heavy fire of the little devils pressed the soldiers to the point that they could not raise their heads. Even if a soldier occasionally wants to raise his head and aim and shoot, he will be hit by the devil's light and heavy machine guns.

Zhang Xin originally thought that he could block the little devils in front of the position, but seeing that the brothers were suffering more and more casualties and the positions were constantly being lost, the devils came up in groups, so he could only retreat while fighting, and retreat into the shelter with the living brothers.

After retreating into the shelter, the devils occupied the trenches outside, and used the trenches to shoot at the defenders.

Zhang Xin knew that it was not a way to go on like this, and sooner or later he would have to die here. But at this time, not only did there be no retreat order, but even if there was a retreat order, it could not be retreated.

Glancing back at the few brothers who were following him, Zhang Xin said, "Brothers, the little devil's heavy artillery will fall in a while, and this shelter is our grave." It's a pity that I can't even drink a bowl of wine before I die, and I'm sorry for the brethren. ”

A soldier turned around and shouted while shooting: "Sir, if you can't drink Zhuangxing wine, it's a ball, I haven't even touched a woman's **!" ”

Another soldier shouted: "In the next life, Lao Tzu must go to Yuben in the next life." I heard that Xiao Yuben's devil wife is good, with fine skin and tender meat, the man bowed as soon as he entered the door, and said that it was hard. When the time comes, Lao Tzu will work hard! ”

Zhang Xin saw that the morale of the brothers was very high and there were no diapers, so he yelled: "Yes, in the next life, I will take the brothers to travel all over the island, sleep all over the beautiful women, and eat delicious food." Brethren, hit! ”

Zhang Xin's shelter was built on the basis of a stone cave, and the outside was built with several rows of stone walls, which were very thick and solid, and the grenadiers of the little devils were not good, even the 92 infantry artillery shells that they could shoot flat were not enough, and it basically did not have much effect when they hit it. This cover block the way for the imps to attack from the front, and there is ammunition stored inside. Under the desperate resistance of Zhang Xin and the brothers, the little devil couldn't attack it.

The commander of the 26th Brigade, who personally commanded the attack, was furious when he saw this, and scolded several times, and while ordering the troops to attack from both flanks, he ordered the flat-firing guns to be pushed up and take out the defenders' fortresses.

After giving the order, the color demon Numata Dezhong Essence worm got into his head and personally went to the front of the cover department to direct the fire of the anti-aircraft guns.

The little devil's flat-firing gun was pushed up, and the preparation for firing was quickly completed. At this time, Numata Tokushige didn't know what to think, so he stood up suddenly, pulled out his command knife and pointed at the cover department that Zhang Xin and they were holding, and roared, "Uday!" ”

Zhang Xin had already seen the movement of the Yue army from the shooting hole, knew that the nemesis of his cover department was coming, and was thinking about how to pull a few pads before he died, when he saw a devil officer standing up from the trench to direct the artillery fire, without thinking about it, the trigger in Zhang Xin's hand was directly pulled, and a shuttle bullet hit Numata Tokushige.

It was also the life of Numata Tokushige's old devil, several of his guards saw that the brigade commander was exposed, and hurriedly pounced on him and dragged him, as a result, most of Zhang Xin's shuttle bullets hit Numata Tokushige's guards, and Numata Tokushige himself was also hit by a few bullets, but he avoided the vital point and was only seriously injured.

At the same time that Numata De was seriously wounded, the flat-fire guns of the Japanese army also fired, and the shells drilled straight into the defenders' shelter along the shooting hole, and there was a boom, and Zhang Xin's gunfire stopped.

There was a brief lull on the position, and on the devil's side, the brigade commander was seriously wounded, life and death were unpredictable, and he was busy rescuing; On the side of the defenders, the shelter that Zhang Xin and they held had been destroyed by the army's flat-fire artillery, and the blood was frozen forever on Fujin Mountain.

The position held by Zhang Xin's company was only a corner of the Fujin Mountain battlefield. On this day, the 13th Division of the Chinese Army, which had been fully replenished, frantically attacked various positions on Fujin Mountain, and even the 16th and 15th Divisions that had been reinforced were thrown into battle. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, due to the urgency of the battle situation and the heavy casualties of the 13th Division, the bombers of the military air force, escorted by fighter planes, flew over Fujin Mountain again and bombed wildly, setting off bursts of bloody storms.

The battle has been in a white-hot state, and at the most critical time, the Yue army not only cut off the main position and the two flank positions of Fujin Mountain, but also attacked the core positions of the 36th Division, 88th Division, and 61st Division several times.

By 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the devils were getting more and more crazy, planes and artillery were desperately bombing, and almost all the positions in Fujin Mountain were raining bullets.

At the critical juncture, Shen Zhisheng, commander of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, and Zhang Shaoxun, deputy brigade commander, suddenly found that Mrs. Jiang Song Meiling appeared in the trench in ordinary soldier clothes.

The two couldn't believe their eyes, so they hurriedly went to salute Song Meiling and asked how their wife came here.

Song Meiling smiled and held the hands of the two of them with sweat and dirt, and said that the 71st Army fought well and played a majestic style, and he deserved to be a Chinese man and a national hero. The distance was long and the transportation was inconvenient, so she brought no condolences with her, but several truckloads of ammunition and weapons, as well as a small medical team, one of whom was a very clever doctor, her cousin, Miss Ni Hua.

Shen Zhisheng said excitedly: "Ah, madam, at this moment, there is no better condolence than ammunition, weapons and medicine." ”

Shen Zhisheng wanted to report to Song Xilian, but Song Meiling stopped him, saying that the battle was tense, life and death were fighting, and Song Xilian should not be affected to command the battle. Let him contact the quartermaster of the military department to receive ammunition, arrange for Ni Hua's medical team to work in the field ambulance, and he and a team of guards turned around and went to the position to rescue the wounded.

Shen Zhisheng had no choice but to ask Zhang Shaoxun not to do anything and specifically protect Mrs. Jiang's safety.

The news that Madame Chiang personally went to Fujin Mountain to kill the enemy side by side with her brothers soon spread throughout the 88th Division's position, and the morale of the soldiers soared, although the army's firepower was strong, and soldiers died every minute, but no matter how indiscriminately the little devils bombarded and charged desperately, the warriors of the 88th Division firmly held the main position on the right flank of Fujin Mountain.

Finally, it was dark, and the little devil didn't seem to be able to attack it for a day, Song Xilian let out a sigh of relief, said, "This day is really long", and sat on the ground. When I sat on the ground, I found that the soil layer on the top of Fujin Mountain had been blown up by the little devil and turned into soft dust, which was more than a foot thick, and when I sat down, my buttocks sank into the soil. Song Xilian didn't care about this, let alone a rumbling stomach, and ordered the staff officers to immediately count the casualties of each unit and check the ammunition reserves.

As soon as the arrangements were made, a staff officer reported that he had received a report from Brigade Commander Shen of the 262nd Brigade that Madame Chiang was on the position.

Song Xilian was surprised in his heart, Mrs. Jiang was targeted by a military plane on the way to Huangmei to visit the troops last time, was injured, and almost died in the country, why did she come to the front line again?

Don't think about it anymore, hurry up to meet Mrs. and protect her well. Besides, Song Xilian was also anxious to know if there was any war on the front line of Xiaojieling, and whether the devil had cut off his retreat. The 87th Division had already discovered the strategic detour troops of the devils, and there was already an exchange of fire during the day. This little devil is a big ghost, and he can do anything, but don't let them detour behind him. Now that Madame Jiang is here, she must know the battle situation on the front line of Xiaojieling and even the entire Wuhan, and take the opportunity to ask her.

Song Xilian hurriedly stood up and walked down with the staff officer to see Madame Jiang.

They hadn't gone far before the group walked along the trench.

Song Xilian walked a few steps quickly to meet him, and before he could speak, he heard the leading soldier open his mouth and say, "Yin Guo, hard work!" ”

Song Xilian was taken aback, isn't this Madame Jiang's voice? Hurriedly took the flashlight from the staff officer and shone it, who is it not Song Meiling? Why is she wearing an ordinary soldier's costume and a steel helmet?

Song Xilian hurriedly saluted. After saluting, he hurriedly asked, "Madam, it's so dangerous, why are you here?" ”

Song Meiling said: "The soldiers are fighting hard with the devils on the front line, I will come to see you." ”

After speaking, Song Meiling told Song Xilian that she had brought medicine and several truckloads of weapons and ammunition, which had been handed over to Brigade Commander Shen before dark, and the small medical team she brought had also started working and was rescuing the wounded.

Song Xilian was moved to tears, and after saluting again, he was no longer polite, and led Song Meiling to the headquarters of the 71st Army at the top of Fujin Mountain.

Song Meiling didn't understand military affairs, and she couldn't tell Song Xilian why, but told Song Xilian to cooperate closely with Sun Lianzhong, and never think that she was born in Huangpu, and she led a strong force formed by the chairman's guard troops, and looked down on other troops, so that the Yue army took advantage of the loopholes.

Song Xilian wanted to know what Liu Yimin, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, was doing, and why he didn't launch an attack on the Yue Army for a long time?

Song Meiling actually didn't know much about the strength and details of the tutor, and wanted to find out a little bit of truth from Ni Hua several times, but Ni Hua said that she hadn't actually worked in the tutor for a long time, and she didn't know about the situation of the army. However, Liu Yimin hates Yue Kou to the core, and he must be fighting every day.

Song Meiling knew that Ni Hua should have a certain real surname, and she herself might not know the strength of the tutor. In addition, the last time the army dispatched such a large number of troops to encircle and suppress the instructor, although the main force of the instructor successfully broke through and encircled and annihilated the main force of the 116th Division, it was impossible for him to lose no losses. Therefore, seeing Song Xilian asking, Song Meiling said: "I heard Mr. Jiang say that all units of the Eighth Route Army are still effective in cooperating with each other, and the northern section of the Pinghan Road, Jinpu Road, the eastern section of Longhai Road, and the Tongpu Railway are all attacked and harassed by the Eighth Route Army every day, and the recent offensive of the Yue Army on the battlefield in eastern Henan has shown signs of weakening, and it may be that there is a problem with the supply line. Don't worry, Liu Yimin is unpredictable, we don't know what he's doing, and the little devil doesn't know. Wait, he'll keep the little devil awake. ”

After thinking about it, Song Meiling told Song Xilian again: "Liu Yimin once told Mr. Jiang that Xiao Yueben had exhausted his troops when he launched the Battle of Wuhan. After this battle, the little devils may be trapped in a limited number of troops, and the large-scale strategic offensive will be stopped, and the War of Resistance will enter a stage of strategic stalemate. Mr. Jiang said that although we know that Liu Yimin is likely to attack a certain strategic point of the army at a time of crisis in the war situation to support the battle of Wuhan. However, we can't rely on others, and we have to rely on ourselves to fight the Wuhan battle, and we have to rely on other people's ideas. ”

Song Xilian hurriedly stood up and saluted again, saying that the principal and his wife should rest assured that the 71st Army would never live up to expectations, resolutely block the devils, and ensure the realization of the commander's intention to fight.

After sending Song Meiling away, the battle of Fujin Mountain continued for a few more days. The brutal battle caused heavy casualties on both sides of the enemy, and the 71st Army was certainly seriously injured and had to be ordered to retreat; The 13th Division and the reinforced 16th and 15th Divisions also saw Fujinshan as a sad place. The little devil tried his best, and the plane's cannon poison gas was thrown together, and in the end, more than 10,000 corpses were thrown down at the foot of Fujin Mountain.
