June 28th. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Xingshan Street, Xingshan Fortress.

At ten o'clock in the morning, nine planes flew in the western sky. The plane got over the fortress and began to drop bombs. The anti-aircraft machine guns of the fortress began to return fire.

The Battle for the Fortress of Heungsan began.

This was the real battle on the Eastern Front. No matter how deceived the General Staff, the real battlefield was still placed in the Xingshan Fortress. The same is true for the Japanese, no matter how they play, they will eventually have to solve the problem of the Xingshan Fortress.

The defenders of the Heungsan Fortress have been practicing and digging holes for the past year. The soldiers were reluctant to dig holes, and someone came to Chen Fengshan and said that the commander was fighting in Nanjing, and we were digging holes here. No.

Xiao Lu knew the mood of the crowd and sent several telegrams in Nanjing to persuade the soldiers.

Now, the Heungsan Fortress is in operation.

Last year, the hillside that the puppet army bombarded had been restored, and the hillside was covered with thatch. Anti-tank trenches were also dug again, and from the air they looked neatly and neatly.

The bomb drop was accurate, because the pilots had carefully studied the drawings of the fortress and now looked at the ground in the sky as if they were looking at a map. The places where the bombs exploded were the weak links of the fortresses, entrances and exits, surface buildings, pillboxes, traffic trenches, etc.

The planes bombed ten batches, and the anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground counterattacked at the beginning, and even wounded one plane, and later, the anti-aircraft machine gun positions were all blown up, and the ground counterattack ended as if there was no one.

The bombardment from the sky has been completed, and the artillery positions on the ground have been arranged.

The artillery positions were the old ones, the artillery fired with no fate, and a large number of shells rained down on the fortresses.

In the afternoon, several more batches of reinforcements came from Luobei. This time, the General Staff Headquarters of the Kwantung Army had already made it clear that the advance army did not send any troops to attack Luobei at all. The Kwantung Army Command will simply concentrate all its forces and attack the fortress of Heungsan. Open the fortress, the gate of Yichun opens,

When the plan was made, many people feared that the Japanese would bypass the Heungsan fortress and attack Yichun step by step along the road. Therefore, after repeated revisions, a strategy was formulated to attract the main forces of the Japanese to the Eastern Front, and even to capture the enemy's Sanjiang Provincial Capital Jiamusi to attract them to attack the fortress of Xingshan.

By the evening, the number of devils and puppet troops concentrated in the Xingshan fortress had reached more than 20,000 people. There were more than 200 artillery pieces, hundreds of tanks, and 200 planes participating in the battle.

There were nearly 8,000 people inside the fortress. The commanders are Chen Xingshan, Li Lanchi, and Xie Chengrui. Xie Chengrui parked the tank in the garage and took his men to repair the tank, ignoring other things.

Li Lanchi found a soldier to be his guide, and spent the night looking at the fortress, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became.

Today, the underground world of Xingshan Fortress is very different now. In order to save cement, a large number of new tunnels were lined with logs, and only the new bunkers were built with large stones on cement racks. In addition, in order to strengthen the fortress built by the Japanese in the past, the advance team also piled up thick branches on the ground and piled up to two meters of earth on top.

When the plane bombed, Chen Xingshan was still firing with an anti-aircraft machine gun at the beginning, but this time the plane was single-winged, and it flew very fast, and the anti-aircraft machine gun could not hit it. So, Chen Xingshan ordered the anti-aircraft machine guns to be taken back and left to be bombed.

There are more than 6,000 people from Li Lanchi stationed in the Tibetan Soldier Cave, and the Xingshan Construction Team is also inside. The materials brought back by the handling team were put into the warehouse, and the handling team returned to Yichun.

The cave was newly built, far from the confines of the original fortress of Xingshan, so the bombing had little effect on them.

Li Lanchi saw that the soldiers had food and lodging in the cave, so he came to the headquarters. Chen Xingshan was directing inside, and when he saw Li Lanchi coming in, he arrived: "Come, please take a seat." How's that, the fortress is magnificent, isn't it? ”

Li Lanchi said: "It's really good, I don't know how about the front-line bunker, will it be blown up?" ”

Chen Xingshan: "We have protective measures, and the inside and outside of the bunker are reinforced. It turned out that the fortresses built by the enemy were not of a high level, and the thickness of the pillboxes was not enough. Our measure is to wear an outerwear, wear **. The outer garment is made with concrete and then mud on the outside. Add wood to it, and that's it. Even if it collapses, the wood can block it. ”

Li Lanchi said: "How is the situation now? ”

Chen Xingshan: "The enemy is still gathering, and it is impossible to carry out a ground offensive today." ”

Li Lanchi said: "Can you reveal your defensive plan?" I'll see how someone like me can help you. ”

Chen Xingshan: "Your people will rest first and be a reserve." Wait for the enemy to attack, you send some people to learn. When the enemy is tired, we will countercharge, and then it will be up to you. ”

Li Lanchi said: "My bazooka is transferred to you." This thing is really useful against tanks. I hit three tanks, and this guy made Xie Chengrui angry, saying that I beat me too hard. ”

Chen Xingshan: "What is the use of a bazooka with guns and without bullets?" ”

Li Lanchi said: "There are still five shots left." I'm saving. So we will send back at night to see how many are left. ”

The next day, another shelling was carried out in the morning, this time out of the city, and several bunkers were blown open. At noon, the devils gathered about three or four thousand people in three directions of the Xingshan fortress and launched the first wave of attacks.

To the southeast, the anti-tank trenches had been blown up, the pillboxes hidden in the dirt had been blown out to the ground, and the attacking infantry was infantry. The infantry rushed to the anti-tank trench and did not see a counterattack, and after the anti-tank trench, there was no counterattack. After another twenty meters forward, several pillboxes exposed to the ground began to fire fiercely.

The charging devil hurriedly lay down and raised his gun to fight back.

The machine-gun fire of the pillbox was crossed, and a bunker had several gun holes, like hedgehogs, and it took less than twenty minutes to fight, and the attacking troops suffered thirty percent casualties and retreated.

To the south of the fortress.

This is the main battlefield, and the artillery bombardment is the heaviest. A couple of bunkers that exploded are here. The devils charged, picking the direction of the bunkers that exploded.

The few bunkers that were blown up were not real, they were fake. At the beginning, some of the bunkers were too fragile, so everyone tried to strengthen them, and a bricklayer suggested that a layer be built on them, so the method of wearing outer clothes was born.

In line with the principle of combining the true with the false, Chen Xingshan came up with the method of creating a fake bunker, the purpose of which was to attract enemy artillery fire and cover the real bunker.

The south side also opened fire when the devils were very close. Several places of earth were pierced in the vicinity of the bunkers that were blown up, forming several bullet holes, which were very deep, and only bullets flew out, but no muzzles were exposed.

The shooting here was fierce, killing more than half of the devils in a short period of time.

West of the fortress.

The west side of the fortress was not completed, and the fortifications were repaired by the advance army. Therefore, the Japanese army thought that this was a weak point, and took this place as a priority, and sent more than a dozen tanks, plus a thousand devils, to take this place first, and then enter the fortress.

When the tanks were not far from the position, the position opened fire, and more than a dozen guns were fired, hitting four tanks. The remaining few tanks turned their guns and opened fire on the artillery positions, creating a situation in which artillery and artillery were fired.

At this time, several bunkers on the sides of the tank opened fire. Several bunkers were machine-gun fired, fighting infantry. But one of them was not a machine gun.

The Japanese did not know what kind of artillery it was at all. This cannon was so powerful that it destroyed a tank in one fell swoop, and then another shot destroyed another tank. After four shots and four tanks were destroyed, the remaining tanks noticed the bunker and fought against it. As a result, another one was wrecked.

The remaining three tanks retreated, and one more was destroyed by other artillery.

The first wave of the offensive was defeated. The most intolerable thing was that ten tanks were destroyed by the opposing artillery.

This shows that the bombing did not destroy the fortress of Xingshan. According to the design of the fortress, the bombardment should have been high, and at least half of the bunkers were destroyed, why were there so many bunkers?

The only explanation is that the advance army strengthened the bunker.

The advance army does not have steel bars, how to reinforce it? It must be some dirt method. Probably, it will be enough to keep bombing.

The first charge was supposed to be a temptation, and soon the bombardment continued. This time, planes and artillery bombed specifically at a fixed location.

The bombardment ended, and the second charge began again.

The assault on the fortress of Heungsan was carried out again and again.

Ten days after the attack, the attacking devils had lost confidence and believed that the fortress could not be breached. The number of dead and wounded is already approaching four thousand. More than half of the tanks were consumed, the mountain artillery shells were also insufficient, and the sorties of aircraft were significantly reduced.

Things are fine in the fortress. There were less than two hundred dead and wounded, and the fighters were in a good mood.

According to Li Lanchi's suggestion, his soldiers replaced some of Chen Xingshan's soldiers. Thanks to this rotation system, the fighters recovered and improved both physically and mentally, and the casualty rate decreased.

The devil's attack also caused them some trouble. One was that two wells were blown up. Fortunately, there is still a mouthful. The rest of the soldiers was so large that a well was dug overnight in the room of the underground kitchen.

In addition, a real bunker was blown up.

This bunker was too far ahead, and after analyzing it according to the drawings, the devil decided to focus on breaking through, organizing tanks and death squads, and paying the price of more than 300 people and five tanks to blow it up.

After exploding, the devil tried to rush in at first, but was beaten back. The soldiers planted stones and sandbags in the passage in and out of the bunker, blocking the entrance.

At night, Chen Xingshan sent people to the ground to pile stones and dirt near the bombed bunker on the bunker, and overnight, the traces of the bombed bunker disappeared.

On the eighteenth day of the attack, the devil gassed.

On this day, the devil's shells exploded on the entire fortress, but the power was not strong, after the bomb exploded, what came out was yellow smoke, and the yellow smoke slowly flowed against the ground and entered the fortress along the ventilation channel.

The observer reported the strange explosion of the bomb, Xie Chengrui was shocked, and said: "This is poisonous gas, tell the soldiers to quickly leave the poisonous place and use a towel dipped in water to block the nose." Fast! ”

The poison gas was disposed of in a timely manner, and only three people died. Fortunately, the devils no longer release poison gas.

The fierce battle of the Heungsan Fortress attracted the attention of almost everyone who paid attention to the Northeast.

However, the eyes of both parties in the northeast are still on the White City area to the west. There is also fighting there.
