Chapter 10: Defending Daqingshan (3)

Yamamoto Shiro came much earlier than Han Yunhua expected, and since Han Yunhua expected Yamamoto Shiro to decide to come to sneak attack, then at least he would enter the mountain after midnight, but Yamamoto Shiro, who was eager for meritorious service, organized troops to enter the mountain just after 11 o'clock.

Shiro Yamamoto, the second son of the current patriarch of the Yamamoto family, a native of Yamagata Prefecture. He graduated from the Tokyo Army Local Infant School and the Army Central Infant School. On May 27, 1921, he graduated from the 31st Infantry Section of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and on December 26 of the same year, he was awarded the rank of second lieutenant in the infantry, and was attached to the 29th Infantry Wing, and graduated from the 39th class of the Army University on November 22, 1927. He successively served as a member of the General Staff Headquarters and the General Staff Headquarters, a staff officer of the Huatai (Sakhalin) Dispatch Army, a staff officer of the 16th Division, a member of the Staff Headquarters of the 2nd Guards Infantry Wing, a member of the Staff Headquarters of the Kwantung Army Headquarters (Cipher Research), a member of the Staff Headquarters attached to the Kwantung Army Headquarters (special intelligence squad leader), the leader of the guard squadron directly under the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and the captain of the Yamamoto Brigade. His face had the usual demeanor of an officer: coldness and determination. He was a samurai who was ready to sacrifice his life for His Majesty the Emperor, and he never took his life seriously. A person who doesn't even take his own life seriously will naturally not take other people's lives seriously. Therefore, although this operation is said to be a sneak attack, he is ready to attack.

Therefore, he did not wait until midnight or Ling Sheng to launch an attack, but when the troops arrived at the foot of Daqing Mountain, he took a short rest and began to enter the mountain.

As an outstanding graduate of the Army University, Shiro Yamamoto's tactical command is still very good, and before the large army entered the mountain, he first sent a small team of soldiers into the mountain to explore the road, especially the places on both sides of the cliff that he had specially advised.

Ten minutes later, the soldiers sent out to explore the road came back and reported that everything was normal and that no ambush of the Eighth Route Army had been found. After hearing the scout's report and repeatedly confirming that there was indeed no ambush, Shiro Yamamoto was secretly happy and immediately organized a large force into the mountain.

What Shiro Yamamoto didn't expect was that after all his troops passed, several small overgrown graves on both sides of the cliff were suddenly opened from the inside, and gray figures jumped out of it, and the scene was extremely weird.

Yamamoto Shiro was unimpeded along the way, and when he walked less than two miles away from the headquarters of the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, Yamamoto Shiro suddenly realized that something was wrong, and after walking for so long, he was about to approach the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, but he didn't even touch a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, which was obviously extremely abnormal, and just as he was about to remind the troops to be careful of the ambush, a series of explosions suddenly sounded in front of the troops.

The original vanguard stepped into the minefield carefully arranged by Han Yunhua, and with the sound of violent explosions, the devil soldiers were blown away by the huge air wave one by one, and after the explosion, the front troops of the Yue army about a reinforced squadron were now less than fifty people left. Before the army could recover its strength, suddenly, grenades on both sides of the cliff, which were not very high, whistled up, and the sky flew like a flock of sparrows. In an instant, the grenade exploded in the air above the head of the Yue army, the sound of the short and continuous explosion was deafening, and the flying shrapnel roared down with the breath of death, and the panicked soldiers could not find a safe corner, and many soldiers were directly hit by several grenades at the same time, and they were blown to different places. More than 800 people who participated in the attack, 10 grenades each, more than 8000 grenades may be nothing in a battle, but in two minutes. In such a small area, the lethality of more than 8,000 grenades is undoubtedly terrifying.

The casualties caused by more than 8,000 grenades to the army were undoubtedly huge, and of the more than 1,200 people in Yamamoto's brigade, less than 400 were now able to participate in the battle, and the rest had already gone to see their "Aunt Amaterasu."

As soon as the explosion sounded, the three battalions, the regiment's heavy machine gun company, reconnaissance company, and mortar platoon all the long and short weapons that were hiding in the shadows opened fire at the same time, and the Japanese troops who were about to stand up and counterattack were beaten into a sieve.

However, the Kwantung Army deserves to be the elite of the elite of the army. The well-trained soldiers of the Kwantung Army reacted quickly before the sudden blow, they howled and began to return fire with the bodies of their fallen comrades as cover, and the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun was loud, and the yellow bullets jumped out of the chamber.......

Yamamoto Shiro had already been stunned by a series of fierce blows from the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, and his own troops suffered three-quarters of casualties before they could meet the enemy, this force was terrible. However, Shiro Yamamoto did not forget his duty and shouted loudly: "Shoot ... Shoot..."

Shiro Yamamoto finally gathered more than 300 people and retreated while fighting. Shiro Yamamoto's main thing now is to escape from this terrifying mountain as soon as possible. To Yamamoto's relief, although the enemy in front of him was in hot pursuit, he was not pressing step by step, as long as he left a squad of soldiers to block, he could block for a few minutes, and in this way, while fighting and blocking, Shiro Yamamoto finally saw the exit of the mountain pass.

Yamamoto gave an order, and all the soldiers quickly ran out of the mountain, but just as the army was about to run out, there was a blocking position formed by stones at the mountain pass, and before the army could react, the Eighth Route Army on the position, together with the soldiers on both sides of the cliff, fired ten thousand bullets in unison, which caught Yamamoto off guard.

Ten minutes later, under Han Yunhua's front and back attacks, there were less than 100 people left in the Yamamoto Brigade, and Han Yunhua did not let people take machine guns to "break through", but ordered to stop the attack and ordered all the soldiers to go out of the fortifications, he was ready to let the soldiers take the remaining devils for assassination training, but those who dared to take the elite training of the Kwantung Army to assassinate were the only ones in the Eighth Route Army.

Yamamoto had already prepared for the annihilation of the whole army, but the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side suddenly stopped attacking, and when he was confused, he saw a soldier in a gray military uniform with a dense array of soldiers walking out of the darkness, at this time the originally dark sky had already been illuminated by hundreds of torches, as if it were day.

The dozens of soldiers who walked in the front all held bayonets and withdrew the bullets in front of the army, and there was no need for the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side to say that Yamamoto Shiro also knew that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was going to fight with his troops with bayonets.

At this time, Yamamoto said angrily: "All of them, bayonet, return the bullet... Kill"

After speaking, the Eighth Route Army rushed over with his adjutant sword, which was a hard-fought hand-to-hand battle, and it was a perfect combination of the will, courage and fighting skills of the soldiers. The two sides were red-eyed, the sonorous sound of the bayonets intersecting, the muffled sound of the butt hitting the **, the screams of the dying people, and the roar of the killing.

Han Yunhua has always agreed with what the famous division commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the future marshal, once said: "The troops that dare to see red with bayonets are the excellent troops." ”

The soldiers of the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, who wore thin summer clothes and braved the biting cold wind, faced the strong enemy with the spirit of breaking through the cauldron and sinking the boat, and took the lead in attacking with the same strength as the opponent, and engaged in a tragic white-knives battle.

When a soldier was wounded, someone immediately made up for it, so although the battle was fierce, there were not many people who were really killed, most of them were injured, but as long as they were injured, they were basically seriously injured.

The white-knuckle battle took more than ten minutes to end. The trail was littered with bloody corpses, like an open-air slaughterhouse. The corpses of more than 100 Kwantung Army soldiers and more than 80 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army remained in the posture of fighting before death.

Han Yunhua looked around the battlefield with a solemn face, and he was deeply impressed by the strong combat effectiveness of the soldiers, especially the Dazuo of the Yue Army, whose head and body had been separated, stabbed down 9 soldiers by himself, and all of them were fatal with a knife, and in the end, it was Li Dayong who personally took action to solve him.

Seven or eight hundred soldiers took turns fighting with less than 100 soldiers with bayonets, and as long as there were wounded, someone would immediately rescue them, but after a fight, the Mengji anti-Japanese detachment still killed more than 80 people, and almost as many soldiers died as the army, which shows how big the gap between the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the army is, of course, Han Yunhua did not know that the army he eliminated was not an ordinary garrison of the army, but the most elite Kwantung Army of the army.

Han Yunhua said to Ye Baoguo: "Quickly clean up the battlefield, all the clothes will be stripped off, and all the corpses will be sent to the gate of the county seat, and let the devils collect the corpses themselves." ”

At about 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Shen Yuquan returned with the fourth battalion and other troops, along with thousands of people and hundreds of truckloads of seized materials.

During the battle, 188 people were killed in the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, more than 600 were seriously wounded, and countless were slightly injured. The army lost 1,271 casualties, and a reinforced brigade was wiped out. Countless weapons and ammunition were seized, and what made Han Yunhua happiest was that the materials captured by Shen Yuquan turned out to be tens of thousands of military uniforms, cotton clothes and more than a dozen mountain artillery.

At about 10 o'clock on December 3, after the battle was over, Han Yunhua reported the victory to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the name of the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, and the telegram was as follows: "Chief of the Headquarters, on the night of December 2, 1937 in the Western calendar, our unit was attacked by the Yamamoto Brigade of the Takeda Wing of the Chahar Dispatch Corps of the Chinese Army. 1,255 ordinary soldiers were killed, and a lot was captured. Our department suffered nearly 800 casualties, but most of them were only wounded, and the dead soldiers were 188 .......... Han Yunhua, the head of the Mengji Anti-Japanese Detachment, and Shen Yuquan, the political commissar, on December 3 of the Western calendar.
