The 82nd Battle of Honghua Mountain
At this time, fierce gunfire was also heard in several places along the Shi River. Needless to say, this was the first brigade of the 103rd Wing of the 104th Brigade, which launched a fierce attack along several weak places along the Shi River.
Squadron Leader Taichang said to Captain Xiaofei: "Little Feijun, there is no other place, our squadron can only attack this place." I ordered, until the last man in the battle, that we also rush across the Shi River. β
"Hayi!" Several squad leaders said that although Yu Sha had to insist on carrying out the orders of Squadron Leader Taichang.
The devil's attack is almost the same, that is, to mobilize all the firepower and suppress the fire first. As a result, all the light machine guns and grenadiers of the little devils poured down on the positions of the Chinese troops on the Shihe side.
Wu Xiaoming followed Han Xing's orders and quickly searched for a place where he could hide and snipe at the enemy chieftain. In desperation, there was a river of history, and he couldn't go back to the enemy's side or rear, so he turned around and could only find a suitable position next to Zhang Dabao's body. Between two points, is a straight line the closest?
The devil's machine guns and grenadiers were fighting for a while, but there was no movement here. The devil thought that the fire suppression had been successful, so the Taichang squadron leader drew his command knife, waved it forward, and shouted: "Duck give-rabbit give-"
More than seventy little devils stood up together, roared loudly, like wolves that had seen blood, and desperately attacked the Chinese position on the side of Shihe.
If there is no Shi River, if there is no temporary bridge, the devils can all unfold, it will be a different scenario.
Zhang Dabao and five or six light machine guns of the special operations platoon blocked this temporary bridge, and the devils could only cross the small bridge in a few people.
A bullet whistled, passed over the little devil's side, and sped towards the forehead of the Taichang squadron leader.
Squadron Leader Taichang was shouting hoarsely: "Rabbit give-duck give-" Suddenly he felt that the sky was spinning, and he seemed to become very light and light, and slowly flew to a high mountain, as if he had slowly fallen into a deep valley, and then gently floated into the air, mixed with the white clouds in the sky, and then slowly drifted towards an infinite universe......
After the death of the Taichang squadron leader, the small fat squad leader bravely assumed the role of commander, he did not pick up the command knife, but waved the 38 big cover in his hand, and shouted loudly at the Chinese position on the other side of the Shi River: "Duck give--rabbit give-"
Another bullet flew towards the head of the little fat team leader, and in an instant, it exploded the head of the little fat team leader. The little fat squad leader didn't think of anything, so he went to report to the emperor's majesty.
After paying a heavy price and killing more than 30 people, more than 30 people finally rushed across the Shi River and pounced on the positions of the Chinese army under the leadership of the other two squad leaders.
Zhang Dabao shouted: "Kill--resolutely kill all this little devil-" led the remaining forty or so soldiers in the company to pounce on the devil.
The special combat team can't be idle, Zhang Xiaosan shouted: "Come on, kill the devil!" The leader also rushed towards the group of devils, got into the pile of devils, and used the bayonet on the gun to kill back and forth, left and right, and if it really didn't work, he put a shot.
Li Dazhong put the assault rifle behind his back, picked up his machete again, and flew up and down, just slashing at the devil's neck. While chopping, he shouted, "Mine, mine, keep it for me." β
Zhang Dabao saw that Li Dazhong had come to grab the merit again, and he was a little unhappy, and shouted: "Go, go, don't rob me!" β
Wu Xiaoming held an assault rifle in his hand, tried his best to get out of the circle of people fighting on both sides, and when he saw a lone devil, ......he fired a few shots "da-da", and whenever the gunshots rang out, there were always devils who fell in response.
After a hard battle, the last devil of the Taichang squadron finally fell.
Han Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at his team again, there were only more than 20 soldiers left in Zhang Dabao's company, and many of them hung flowers. As for his own special operations platoon, two more were slightly injured, three were seriously injured, and one soldier was sacrificed, which is already the best ending.
Han Xing led the special operations platoon back to the headquarters of the 212th Regiment, and saw that Gu Baoyu was still roaring hoarsely on the phone, and knew from his phone that although the main position on the Shihe Bridge and the position held by Zhang Dabao were not lost, several other defensive positions were still lost, and the Japanese army had an attempt to detour the main position, and if it was a detour, the 212th Regiment would be surrounded by the Japanese army.
Gu Baoyu saw Han Xing coming in, and said to Han Xing: "We are going to withdraw, withdraw to the main position of Honghua Mountain, and hope that the southern expedition can give some support." β
Han Xing nodded and said, "It's time to withdraw, if you don't withdraw, you will be surrounded by devils." Withdraw, I'll find the Air Force to cover you. β
Han Xing asked Director Zhang to contact Xu Da's air force to cover the 212th Regiment with firepower. Under the cover of Xu Da, the 212th Regiment finally withdrew from Shihe's position, and by the time it arrived on Honghua Mountain, there were only about 200 people left in the 212th Regiment. In this way, the 212th Regiment will basically be disabled, and it can only lean back, rest, and no longer be the main force of defense.
And the situation of the 1st Brigade of the 103rd Wing of the 104th Brigade of the Japanese Army, which occupied Shihe, was not good, and there were only more than 300 people left.
In the headquarters of the 36th Division in Honghuashan, Chen Ruihe was stern, and in the battle of TongguΓ² Shihe, he could be regarded as seeing the fierceness of the Japanese army, and the national army still suffered heavy casualties with the strong support of the Southern Expeditionary Army Air Force, and the casualty rate was higher than that of the Japanese army and retreated to the main position of Honghuashan.
If there was no air force support from the Southern Expeditionary Army, the situation would be even more unimaginable.
When Chen Ruihe saw Han Xing, he still forced a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you, Chief of Staff Han, if it weren't for your support, our 36th Division would really be defeated." β
Han Xing also hurriedly handed it over and said: "The family doesn't talk to the two families, what are we here for, aren't we here to fight devils?" Your 212th Regiment fought really well, and I also saw the real national army, so it was really better to let the devils kill than to scare them to death. β
Chen Ruihe nodded and said, "Well said, I'd rather let them die than let them be scared to death." Our 36th Division is the only one left, and we must also hold the position of Fujin Mountain. β
With this heart-to-heart communication, there is no need to say other kind words. Chen Ruihe introduced the two officers next to Han Xing and said, "This is Deputy Division Commander Zhong Bin, and this is Chief of Staff Xiang Xianju." β
Han Xing also shook hands with them one by one and said greetings.
Xiang Xianju handed Han Xing a telescope and said to Han Xing: "Chief of Staff Han, look at our Honghua Mountain position, do you have any advice?" β
Han Xing took the binoculars and watched carefully, Han Xing watched and introduced the situation to Xianju: "The 212th Regiment can't be on, the left is the 213th Regiment of the 106th Brigade, the middle is the 215th Regiment of the 108th Brigade, and the 216th Regiment is the ...... to the right."
Han Xing saw that the mountain of Fujin Mountain was very steep, and the 36th Division relied on the steep terrain of Fujin Mountain to build ingenious civil fortifications. On the one hand, they set up several ridges on the mountainside, which lead up to the top of the mountain, so that they can provide support and supplies at any time, and down to the road. Because the ridge line is a protruding mountainous area, the bombing area is very small, and the Japanese planes bombing is not easy to hit the target, and the hit rate of the Japanese heavy artillery is also greatly reduced.
Along this steep slope, trenches were dug from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, that is, the Japanese captured the first trench, the second, the third, and the longitudinal trenches were connected together, so it can be said that they can advance and retreat. These trenches are supported by fire on the ridgeline. In addition to the trenches, there was also a slightly higher headquarters, heavy machine-gun positions, mortar positions, and on the main peak of Fujin Mountain, there was an artillery battalion directly under the division.
The construction of this artillery battalion position is also quite distinctive, the top of the main peak, the whole piece has been cut off, and when the artillery battalion **, the artillery is directly pushed to the front, so as to shoot at the enemy's target. If not, push the artillery to the back to prevent the enemy's artillery fire.
The construction of this position, Han Xing also remembered a tactic of the U country when it was engaged with the enemy, that is, to put the tank on the top of the mountain, and when the enemy's target was found, the tank quickly moved forward and hit the enemy's target.
It's actually a different thing.
Han Xing handed Xiang Xianju the telescope, nodded, and said, "The position of the 36th Division is indeed an iron bucket formation, let me study." It's true that I'm a shallow learner, and I can't give the slightest opinion. β
Xiang Xianju smiled and said, "No matter how good the artillery is, no matter how good the infantry is, for the air force, it will only be beaten." Can you hold Fujin Mountain, you have to count on the support of your air force!? β
Listening to Xiang Xianju's compliments, Han Xing also hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't price, don't price, if you can hold Fujin Mountain, you have to count on your infantry, count on your 36th Division, we are just here to do a small favor." There is also a stir-fried bowl of vegetables with our radish, and there is also a stir-fried bowl dish without our radish. β
Now that the words have been said about this, the two sides laughed and drew closer to each other's hearts.
In the early morning of September 4, the Japanese army began to attack the position of Honghuashan, the main position of Fujin Mountain.
Their offensive mode is all deducted from the same mold, that is, first of all, the Japanese air force will carry out air raids in an attempt to kill and injure a large number of Chinese soldiers in terms of personnel and severely dampen the morale of Chinese soldiers psychologically.
This tactic seems feasible without the Southern Expeditionary Army's air force, but don't forget that the Southern Expeditionary Army has an air force many times stronger than theirs, which is a bit dramatic.
The Japanese army dispatched 12 96-1 fighters, and the Southern Expeditionary Army dispatched 4 J-20 fighters.
The Japanese air force quickly occupied the sky over Fujin Mountain, and when they saw that there seemed to be no Chinese air force around, they were relieved and a little carried away, and then began to dive, strafe, and drop bombs one after another.
Xu Da adhered to a tactical principle, that is, not to get too close to the Japanese planes, which was exactly what they wanted. They were not far away, that is, their 7.7mm machine guns were out of reach, and the air-to-air missiles of the Southern Expeditionary Army happened to be able to reach them.
The first Japanese 96-1 fighter swooped down from the sky like a vicious wolf, dropping bombs and strafing, and was busy with all the work, not too tired to panic. The bomb also did hit one of the heavy machine guns of the 213th Regiment, blowing the heavy machine gun into the air, and the heavy machine gunner, of course, was also thrown up, and then fell heavily on the red earth.
