The one hundred and sixteenth Battle of Zhangdian

In the early morning, there was a thick fog under the woods, and the devil's footsteps still didn't dare to slow down, and the team lined up in two rows and walked towards the depths of the forest, the wind was whining, and a strange cry like a ghost moaning in the distance stopped all the devils in fright, and there were sporadic horses' hooves and the horses' low breathing behind the fog from time to time.

Mitani knew instinctively that they were in a very dangerous situation, but he didn't know how dangerous it was, he took out his pistol and said, "Prepare to fight!" The soldiers frightened and flicked the safety of their guns.

Setsuro Shimizu looked around and asked Santani, "Mitani-kun." What are you? ”

"I don't know!" Mitani Jiuzhi is actually very scared in his heart now, he stared straight at the black shadow that slowly came out of the fog in the forest in front of him, and saw a black-armored warrior riding a high-headed horse with a pitch-black body, and the night fog and black wind fused together, the only thing that could be distinguished in the night was the pair of blood-red horse eyes, but this made the devil extremely frightened.

Mitani Kunao saw this figure that he didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, and he had no sense of proportion in his heart, as if he had seen a dark warrior coming out of hell, and he shouted, "Shoot!" Shoot! ”

After a volley of shots, everyone took a closer look, and the original black shadow disappeared in the thick fog, and at the same time several terrible and sinister laughter were heard around the forest, and before the laughter had settled, there was a dull 'rumbling' sound from the depths of the dense forest, and the sound seemed to converge towards them from all sides.

Setsuro Shimizu looked at the thick fog around him in horror and exclaimed, "What sound? What was that? ”

Mitani Kunao also looked around in horror, and could only feel a heavy murderous aura coming towards them*, which was a murderous aura that can only be found in hell, a kind of angry revenge murderous aura that seeped out.

The sound of 'rumbling' was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that some images could already be seen in the dense fog, and Mitani Kunao finally understood what it was, and shouted, "Heart Cavalry! ”

At the same time as Sangu Jiuzhi was drinking, a long neighing of horses came from the dense fog in the forest, Morakot dragged a horse first, jumped out of the dense fog with a saber in hand, and rushed into the long line of devils, and at the same time several horses jumped out of all directions, and for a while, the blood in the forest covered the thick fog, and the screams spread out in the forest.

The cavalry dragged by Morakot was once again out of the woods, and at this time the 4th battalion; Battalion; The special battalion has also arrived, Mitani Kuzhi fell in a panic when retreating in the forest, and was trampled into mud by the cavalry company, and Shimizu Setsuro led the remnants to protrude from the jungle and fell into the white dragon; ZHAO Meng; Zheng Hu's three-sided encirclement was annihilated in one fell swoop, and no one was spared, and Setsuro Shimizu was beaten into a sieve by the Czech ZB6 in the chaos and died on Xifengang.

Morakot dragged the cavalry out of the forest and collided with Bai Long and the others, and Bai Long smiled: "Mora! It's not that you brought the devil* out in the woods, we really don't have the ability to catch up with the devils, your ambush in the woods is a miracle! Everyone looked up to the sky and laughed on Xifengang, and the unhappiness of a few days has disappeared at this time.

Caojiazhuang completely annihilated the Chuan'an Division in the first battle; The Yoshino Division, one of each of the Sharp Knife Wing, captured the weapons, ammunition and a large amount of food that the Japanese army had hoarded in Caojiazhuang, and at the same time disrupted the deployment of the Japanese troops south of Shanxi, smashed the Japanese army's military operation to sweep the right flank of Zhongtiao Mountain, and destroyed the Japanese army's conspiracy to cut off the passage of anti-Japanese forces in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain and Taihang. At the same time, the first traitor in the local area, the poor third son, and his night raid team and the main force of the surrounding Imperial Association Army were eliminated. A military operation did not expect to affect so much, Shaofan and others did not expect, but this is just a prelude, a new military operation of the Japanese army did not end in the defeat of the battle of Caojiazhuang, but more fascic.

The center of gravity of the battlefield shifted, and Kawagishi Bunzaburo sent all his troops to the lateral defense line of Nakajo Mountain, one from west to east to Jieshu; The main battlefield of Zhangdian is about to start, the original Chinese army and the Japanese army strength ratio is not up or down, and even the squadron has priority, but what was not expected is the intervention of an army, breaking this equal formula, so that the battlefield initiative is handed over to the hands of the Japanese army, that is, the return of the Takagi Division.

It turned out that the battle of Caojiazhuang soon reached the ears of General Terauchi, and after the agreement of the Japanese Supreme Staff, it was determined to remove the tumor of Zhongtiao Mountain, which was sandwiched between Shanxi and Henan, at one time, so General Terauchi ordered the Takagi Division; The Murakami Division returned to Yuncheng to aid and also sent two aviation brigades to support Kawagishi Bunzaburo, the Takagi Division was the first batch of troops to return to the reinforcements, and the Murakami Division came from Linfen with a large number of heavy artillery, and Linyi and Xia County were also rushing to repair the airport runway for the aviation brigade.

The sporadic exchange of fire in the Zhangdian position until the 'June 6 Battle' of Zhongtiao Mountain has never ended, June 199 is an unforgettable month for all the soldiers who stick to Zhongtiao Mountain, it is a cruel and bloody June, it is also a tragic June, the Japanese army is ready, the squadron is also ready for everything, everyone seems to be waiting for that moment to come. On May 9, 199, it began with a large-scale fire reconnaissance by the devils, and in the early morning of June 6, the Japanese launched a large-scale attack on several attack sites at the same time, and Zhangdian was one of the most brutal positions from the beginning.

On June 6, 199, on the 3rd morning of the 3rd morning, the Japanese army assembled a division in Yuncheng plus a brigade with more than 50 mountain artillery; More than 30 chariots went to Pinglu; The purpose of the Ruicheng Line offensive was to completely annihilate the 8th Army and the 96th Army under the jurisdiction of Sun Weiru's Fourth Army, lay the foundation for the pacification of Zhongtiao Mountain, and at the same time lay enough capital for knocking on the ancient ferry port of Maojindu. Although Sun Weiru had long expected that the Japanese army would divide and encircle Monan, what he did not expect was that the offensive to attack Monan would come so fiercely, and the 117th Division, the main force of the 96th Army, soon lost the first line of defense - Yungai Temple.

Almost at the same time, the Zhangdian position also suffered from Beigang; Takagi; The all-out attack of the three divisions on the Kawagishi was covered by Japanese artillery fire, and it was difficult to distinguish between the second and third lines of defense, and the Japanese Takagi Division launched no less than 20 attacks on the position of the National Youth League with the top divisions, and the two armies were in the second; On the three lines of defense, you fight for each other, and the two lines of defense have become one piece.

The forward headquarters of the National Youth League was dusty and the telegraph operators were shouting at the top of their lungs to contact the troops on the position. Shen Shaofan walked through the tunnel of the fifth line of defense, ignoring the explosion of the shells around him, and shouted: "01 Heights must be defended, that is the weight of the entire defense line, if the defense line can't be held, don't hold it hard, retreat!" ”

Sun Zhiyu said on the side: "The devil has three divisions attacking our position at the same time, and there is only one top soldier, that is, the Takagi Division, and the casualties among the soldiers are very heavy!" ”

Shen Shaofan; Sun Zhiyu and the others came to the hill bunker, and the bunker bombed by the devil's cannon also shook, Shaofan threw his helmet on the table and said: "The defense line must be defended, and if it really can't work, the pre-dry column will be transferred up and fought again." ”

Blocking the sky and said: "The devil's artillery fire is too fierce, and the position has been ploughed by shells several times." ”

"Even if you turn over the side position, you must hold it. Behind us is Pinglu, once Pinglu is knocked open, then our National Youth League will be a sinner for the ages. Shen Shaofan looked at the map and said, "Transfer the pre-cadre column." ”

Blocking the sky relaxed, the discipline buckle on the military uniform, put on the steel helmet and said, "I'll go to the command position." ”

Blocking Tianfang took a few guards through the artillery fire, carrying an MP40 submachine gun in his hand, and came to the position, the National Youth League used all five battalions of troops on the position, and at this time sent a pre-cadre column, which seemed to be Shaofan, leaving little way back for himself.

Blocking the sky and lying on the earthen wall of the trench, hiding from the devils' wanton bombardment of the position, several devils' diamond fighters swooped down from the sky, dropped a few bombs, and then flew away.

Blocking the sky and foamed a few mouthfuls and said, "Damn! The devil is bullying Lao Tzu without airplane artillery! ”

"Hurry up, the devil wants to capture the 01 Heights Company, and give me 1 company to support." Huang Junjie was directing his troops, busy in the defensive area, and did not pay attention to blocking the sky and putting it right next to him.

Blocking the sky and patted him on the shoulder and said, "How is Lao Huang?" ”

Huang Junjie took a look and said, "Is that devil crazy?" Twenty or thirty attacks have been launched on the 01 Heights, and they have spread out their troops in an all-round way, as if they were pulling a wide net, and they are attacking the number position. Pointing to the front, he said, "Look." The artillery bombardment was not completely over, and the devils rushed towards our positions as if they were crazy. ”

Blocking the sky and saying: "The devil is very sober!" Breaking through Zhangdian will directly threaten Pinglu, and even if Pinglu can't be captured, Maojindu can be captured. ”

Nie Yufeng also ran over at this time and said: "Deputy regiment, we will gather all the squeezing artillery of each battalion and let the brothers of the artillery company fire it, so that the soldiers can be freed up and the second can concentrate the firepower." ”

"Well, good way!" Blocking Tian lowered his head and said, "That's it." ”

At this moment, Zheng Hu ran out of breath all the way and shouted, "Oh no! Our right flank is occupied by devils. ”

"What?" Blocking the sky was startled and hurriedly said: "Take your 4th battalion to recapture the right flank position." ”

"It's too late. Zhang Weirong's Jin Sui army withdrew from the battle, resulting in the defeat of the independent column of the Eighth Route Army on the entire front, Liu Zhizhao's 1; The 4 detachments withdrew after a few hours. Huang Huancheng; Although the detachment was still on the position, it suffered heavy casualties, and the 0 heights held by Shi Dagen's reconnaissance detachment were flattened by the devil's heavy artillery, and a team of people including Shi Dagen was six and eight. Zheng Hu said on the side.

On the bunker layer of the hill, Shaofan held a telescope and looked at the right wing of the position and gritted his teeth: "This Zhang Weirong should really send him to a military court." ”

"Yes! Retreating without a fight caused the entire right-flank position to be exposed to the devil, and Liu Zhizhao withdrew in a few hours, and the defense line was probably unable to hold it. Sun Zhiyu sighed.

Shaofan looked at the battlefield of gunpowder smoke and sighed for a long time: "I know that this Jin Suijun is a bear with eggs, but I didn't expect that this Liu Zhizhao didn't last long, and he was ashamed of his Huangpu background!" Shaofan straightened his steel helmet and said, "Order the troops to retreat to the No. 4 defense line." ”

Sun Zhiyu thought for a while and said, "Do you want to give Huan Cheng a letter?" There are also the left and right flanks of the No. 4 line of defense, and we are not defending ourselves. ”

Shen Shaofan looked at the map and said, "Order the 5th Battalion Yuan Feng Department to be responsible for the left flank defense line; The first part of the Whampoa Independent Column was in charge of the right flank and ordered Su Li's independent column to replace Huang Junjie's 1st Battalion. ”

"Got it!" Sun Zhiyu lowered his head and was about to leave, but was stopped by Shaofan and said: "I also informed Huang Huancheng that we are going to withdraw to the No. 4 defense line, and let the teaching column prepare for the defense of the No. 5 defense line." ”

Sun Zhiyu lowered his head heavily and said, "Understood." "Towards the next floor.

The troops all withdrew to the No. 4 line of defense, and once again quickly organized a tight network of firepower, Su Li's Whampoa independent column was ready to defend early, as soon as it saw that all the troops had withdrawn to the No. 4 line of defense, it ordered to push bundles of straw into the deep anti-tank trenches, which were drenched with sulfur slurry, and saw more than a dozen soldiers cover all the anti-tank trenches with several huge tarpaulins, and sprinkled the local soil on them. The fighters were hiding in the fortifications of Line 4 and waiting for a new wave of the devil's charge.

The devil still hit the No. 4 position with an artillery bombardment, which burned the entire position, and blocked the sky and hid in a dark bunker and said through the shooting hole: "This devil's fighting style has never changed, and the artillery bombarded the soldiers." ”
