Chapter 287: The Great Wall War of Resistance 24

Rumble! The shells hit the mound, and the wet and sticky earth and the damaged coffin lid were lifted into the sky and fell heavily.

"Damn, mass graves, these Japanese soldiers can die here and save the trouble of collecting corpses!" The head of the regiment, Bi Zhijian, shook a handful of mud from his face. It was raining lightly in the sky, and it had been two days since the last aerial scuffle of more than 70 planes. However, the battlefield in the area of Luo Wenyu was even more chaotic, and it did not decrease slightly because of the drop in temperature.

Bi Zhijian came with a regiment of soldiers to block this roundabout Japanese squad, and it happened to hit it at the mass grave. At this time, both Xifengkou and Gubeikou Japanese troops attacked all the way, the 29th Army suffered serious losses, but Xifengkou was still in its hands, and although the Japanese army captured the highlands on both sides of Gubeikou, the Japanese army of the 8th Division failed to break through the obstruction under the desperate counterattack of Huang Jie, Du Yuming and others. The situation of the Yamae Imperial Brigade, which had been surrounded for two days, became more and more serious at this time.

The Imperial Heavy Brigade in front of the mountain, which was surrounded by Wang Tiehan's temporary 1st Army and Liu Ruming's 1st Division, failed to break through after a hard battle, and most of the ammunition it carried was consumed. The Japanese army, which was short of ammunition, was no longer as brave and good at fighting as before. And the two squadrons that could be drawn out met Bi Zhijian's entire regiment, and the outcome was already doomed at the beginning of the encounter.

"Your Excellency Taijun, the Chinese army, there are Chinese troops everywhere!" A Japanese soldier looked in horror at the enemy troops who appeared around the mass grave, and said in a hurried voice.

"Bastard, coward." Tai Junsu actually slapped the other party in the face twice, even if it was a trace of defeat, when he saw his subordinates so weak. Tae Junsu did not forget to maintain the dignity of the imperial army.

"Quick. Raise the machine gun to the front. Don't let the Chinese army rush in! Kicking the beaten soldiers aside, Taijun Su Jin commanded several machine gunners to place two Taisho 10-style heavy machine guns in the most dangerous area in front of them to prevent the enemy from attacking.

A rush of mortar fire came in, and several of the machine gunners who were desperately running were killed and wounded in an instant, and one of the heavy machine guns was blown into several pieces. The other was also lying crookedly on the bloodstained mud. Taijun Su wanted to cry without being tired, but judging from the momentum of the enemy's attack, the number of this enemy army was more than several times that of theirs. Enemy battalion-level troops are not terrible, but regimental units appear here. The firepower of the allocation was something that his three squadrons simply could not resist. With the destruction of two heavy machine guns, the situation suddenly became so bad that it could not be worse.

"Shoot back, shoot back!" The chaotic battlefield was full of squad leaders, and the battle was still fierce, but as more and more enemy troops appeared around, anyone who was not stupid could see that they were in a desperate situation at this time.

With sufficient firepower and continuous support from the Japanese army, it would be very difficult to eat the three squadrons that were not fully manned, even if the strength was several times that of the other side. There are also comparable, if not more, losses. However, at this time the Japanese army did not have a solid defensive position. Mortars went back and forth after several rounds of cleaning in mass graves. The Japanese army, which was already not very strong, was even more thin. If it weren't for the fact that the mound of this cemetery was a natural anti-slope, and the mortar was not very powerful, the Japanese army would have been crushed under a few rounds of shelling.

Boom, the Japanese army lay on the small slope of the mound and fought back by throwing grenades. Several soldiers of the 15th Route Army who rushed to the front were blown to the ground one after another. However, soon the grenades of the 15th Route Army's retaliation were also thrown into the ranks of the Japanese army, and the area of Japanese activity was gradually squeezed and reduced.

If the weather is clear, maybe the Empire's air force can appear in the sky to give them the belief to support them, but on this damn rainy day, seeing the gradually scarce troops around him, a trace of despair flashed in Tai Junsu's eyes.

The attacking enemy troops were repulsed again and again, but each time the number of enemy troops appeared in front of them, the number of their own men became smaller and smaller, and the number of corpses lying on the ground gradually increased.

"Kill!" When the enemy forces of the brigade reappeared, the fragile Japanese defense line was pierced like a piece of paper. Enemy troops frantically poured in from all directions.

"Bang!" Taejun Su Jin raised the pistol and slammed it at his head tremblingly.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" The Japanese troops around suddenly exclaimed.

"Take a telegram to the division, and in the battle of mass graves, more than 500 Japanese troops were annihilated." Bi Jiandao stretched out his arm and asked his subordinates to wrap the wound and commanded with a straight face.

"Yes!"

To the north is Weng Zhaoyuan's temporary 2nd Brigade, and to the west is Liu Ruming's division. To the south and east is Zhang Zhibang's division, and in front of the mountain in the encirclement, Yuzhong rushes left and right like a wounded beast. At first, the brigade had a large number of technical arms and was assisted by aviation. After suffering heavy losses at Jinzhou Airport, the Japanese still dispatched no less than 40 sorties of planes to the Luowenyu line. However, the actions of the Japanese air force were met with Gao Zhihang's sniping, and the two sides fought several battles over Luo Wenyu, and in the end neither of them could please him. There were still nearly twenty wreckage of planes on the ground at this time. After several fierce battles, almost all the artillery and machine guns of the Japanese brigade were lost under the onslaught of Wang Tiehan's temporary 1st army. The strength of the army has also plummeted from the original 7,000 to less than 4,000 now, and more than half of the losses have been lost. Affected by the Pingdingshan tragedy, the temporary 1st Army had no idea of leaving a living mouth at all during the battle. The death of three squadrons of Tai Junsu completely destroyed the last hope of breaking through.

"The consumption of ammunition, technology, and troops has completely lost the capital to compete with the Provisional 1st Army. After replenishing some of the defeated troops, the temporary 1st Army added a division of Liu Ruming, and the strength reached more than 20,000. The disparity in strength has increased from 3 to 1 to a staggering 6 to 1. Judging from the current situation, the weather may be sunny tomorrow, but the Yamae Imperial Heavy Brigade is now a phoenix that has lost its hair, and with more efforts, it can completely annihilate this Japanese army. Liu Ruming looked at Wang Tiehan excitedly and said, if it weren't for people standing in front of him, he would never have imagined that Wang Tiehan would move the military headquarters to the front line. In contrast, the military headquarters of Xu Tingyao in Nanjing is now no less than 200 miles away from Gubei. If it weren't for the previous Guan Linzheng, the current division commanders such as Du Yuming, Huang Jie, Liu Huan, and the brigade commanders, tens of thousands of Guan soldiers fought bloodily, and after carelessly losing Nantianmen, they would have retreated a long time ago.

"The troops of the 6th Division can arrive on the battlefield at noon tomorrow at the latest, we still have less than a day, although our current strength is far greater than the encircled Japanese army, but in order to encircle and annihilate this brigade as much as possible, the stalls are too open, and there are not so many troops who are really engaged with the Japanese army. This time, I also moved the military headquarters to the front line to urge the departments to do their best to eliminate this Japanese army. Wang Tiehan nodded and said, in fact, there is one thing that Wang Tiehan did not say, in addition, in order to facilitate the mobilization of the army, the destruction of the Imperial Heavy Brigade in front of the mountain is imminent, and the Japanese army from all walks of life is coming.
