The destruction of Tamura's squadron not only did not make the Japanese army cautious or stop attacking, but greatly angered the wing commander Tanaka Seimichi, for the Japanese commander who no longer knew how to think, what should he do if the attack encountered obstacles? The answer is a more aggressive attack

The Japanese troops of the 4 brigades attacked like a spreading plague like the Garden Ridge in the land of projectiles, and Tanaka Seido himself held his saber and put on a murderous posture, as if in this way, the enemy on the opposite side would be intimidated.

"Attention to the second company, the second company and the third row of heavy machines and the second row of heavy machines carry out cross-fire on the H05X15 area..."

"Attention of all mortar groups, concentrate firepower, bombard the Japanese heavy machine gun positions in the X25T25 area, and bombard them with all their might"

"Is it Battalion Commander Liu of the Mountain Artillery Battalion? Can you arrange for mountain artillery to concentrate fire on our Japanese heavy aircraft positions here... Can't pull out the artillery power, Battalion Commander Liu, at least 10 or so heavy machine guns here are firing at us, posing a great threat to our army... Okay, okay, 5 minutes is 5 minutes, the target area is x25t25, please Camp Commander Liu, please repeat it to me once.... ”

Jingle bell, Liu Junsheng ran over with a brisk step, grabbed the phone, "What, a group of devils was found on the right side of the three rows in a row, there may be more than 20 people, tell you company commander, please organize a counterattack, you must annihilate them all, they are all annihilated, don't let any of them go, I will organize fire to cut off their back road." ”

"Attention Bunker No. 5, prepare to shoot Bunker No. 5 Attention, prepare to shoot your target..."

Each sub-position went to the headquarters of Huayuanling, and a total of 3 telephone lines were pulled, and now all of them are running at full capacity, and Liu Junsheng, deputy regiment commander and battalion commander, has already shouted hoarsely, and in this hoarse voice, one after another orders are issued along the telephone lines to each sub-position.

The various guard units that received the battalion commander's orders were like arms commanded by the brain, and they acted with all their might, forming a cross-cutting and dense network of fire, and under the unified command, they poured guns on the attacking Japanese troops, like a large machine composed of countless precision parts, crushing countless yellow Japanese rice grains.

The captain of the Tanaka Seido Wing was going crazy, and the attacking Japanese troops were like cherry blossoms in a typhoon, drifting helplessly, whether it was a detachment or a squadron, they were crippled one by one, or even completely destroyed.

There were not enough people to carry the corpse, so they had to cut off a finger or a strand of hair and bring it back; The firepower of the heavy machine gun was insufficient, and he was just about to suppress the firepower point of the man, but he didn't expect the sound of the opponent's Type 24 heavy machine to become louder and louder, but his own Type 92 dimmed one by one.

The commander was also insufficient, and the survival time of the officers who rushed to the front did not exceed 10 minutes, and the captain of the 2nd Brigade, Shigeo Tajiri, was killed, the 3rd Brigade Kitani Shitai was wounded in battle, and the squadron leader and below suffered countless casualties

Tanaka Shengdao's brain is also insufficient, and what he sees in his eyes now is only the firepower of the other party's death, and the imperial army that is shattered under the firepower.

"Onboard," Seido Tanaka finally fell into complete madness, and he led the charge with his saber held high in both hands.

Suddenly, the artillery position of the squadron was lit up with lightning-like fire and the roar of thunder, and all the artillery concentrated their fire on the attacking 113th Wing to carry out a fierce bombardment. One shell after another fell, and countless stumps and severed arms, carrying dirt and stones, flew one by one. The Japanese army did not establish a strong starting position, so they made a full-scale assault, and now they have tasted the consequences, and the Japanese army clusters covered by artillery fire cannot be avoided at all, and only nests and nests are eliminated in formations.

The spirit of bushido in the Great Japanese Empire also disappeared somewhere, and the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground trembled one by one, without the slightest arrogance before departure. Wing Commander Tanaka Seichi knelt quietly on the ground, the command knife was next to him, and there were still traces of blood on the saber.

"On September 30, the 27th year of the Republic of China, the commander of the 113th Wing of the 111th Brigade of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, Tanaka Seimichi, was killed by our artillery fire in front of the Huayuan Ridge position in Mopan Mountain, Jiujiang, and his collar badge and saber were seized... Job, Xu Ming. ”

After the artillery fire extended in depth like the Japanese army, the counterattack of the squadron began, Liu Junsheng picked up the Browning pistol and rushed out of the bunker, beside him, countless infantry with rifles, machine gun shooters with machine guns, artillery carrying mortars, and even sappers with sapper shovels on their backs were all engaged in the counterattack, and behind the first battalion, the second battalion and the third battalion were also dispatched to fully engage in the counterattack.

"Onboard," the scattered sound called, and the few remnants of the Japanese army rose from the ground to launch a final charge against the flood-like squadron.

"Rush, kill", the shouting and killing on the opposite side is much more majestic than these devils, and in an instant, the sound of "onboarding" was drowned in the torrent of the squadron's counterattack.

At the same time that the 106th Division launched an all-out attack on Jinjia Village, Huayuanling, Tujialing, and Jinjia Village at the front of Mopan Mountain, the Japanese 101st Division also launched a full-scale attack on Shilipu Miaozhi Town between Jiujiang and Mopan Mountain.

The front commander of the Japanese army is the commander of the 101st Brigade and the commander of the 101st Brigade Shozaburo Sato, he commands the 5 infantry brigades of the 101st Brigade and the 3 infantry brigades of the 102nd Brigade and the 3rd infantry brigade of the 102nd Brigade and regiment, in order to make the operation easier, Okamura Ninji specially assigned him an unprecedentedly powerful army directly under the army, in addition to the 6th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery in the rear for artillery support, ** Machine Gun 7th Brigade, ** Mountain Artillery 3rd Wing, Mortar 4th Brigade, anti-aircraft artillery squadron, the most striking of which is, It was the 7th Tank Wing led by Yoshiharu Iwanaka, including 55 Type 95 light tanks and Type 89 medium tanks, in addition to 18 Type 94 ultralight tanks, and even if you don't count the 6th Field Artillery Brigade, the direct attack of the Japanese army exceeded 14,000 people.

Compared with the hard fighting of the 106th Division, the Sato detachment progressed very smoothly, and the squadron retreated to the periphery of the two flanks with a little resistance, of course, in the eyes of Sato Shozaburo, it was a rout.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, Iizuka Osa's 101st Wing has broken through to the line of the Lotus Garden Wall Mountain southwest of Myochi Town, Tsuda Osa's 149th Wing has arrived at the Keqiao Line of Tangjia Village southeast of Myochi, and Fukui Osa's 103rd Wing is advancing towards Zhangjia Village of Chaziling Ruishan about 3,000 meters in front of Myochi Town..."

Sato was next to the chariot, listening to the adjutant of the brigade headquarters reporting to him the latest developments, he already knew that the attack of the 106th Division of Mopanshan had been hit hard, but Sato Shozaburo looked at the more than 10,000 elite divisions under his command and did not take the opponent seriously.

"Tsuda-kun's speed is too slow, and at this rate, there is no guarantee that he will capture Myochi Town before dark."

Fukutaro Nishiyama, the chief of staff of the division, was here to coordinate the dispatch of various units of the Japanese army, and he was taken aback when he heard Sato say this, "Your Excellency the brigade commander, Commander Gangmura means that you must wait until the progress of Mopanshan is made before you can launch an assault on Myochi Town. ”

Sato laughed contemptuously, "Chief of Staff Nishiyama, some units have a tendency to become merchants, counting on them to make progress, it is likely that it will be half a month later I have decided to use the most rapid attack to break through the defense of the Shina people."

"Commander of the Sato Brigade, we are here, and we may be flanked by enemy fire from three directions"

"Then I'll see if the firepower of the Shina people is stronger, or the imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire is stronger."

Miaozhi Town, the headquarters of the 108th Division, Xie Jinyuan's square face did not have the slightest nervousness of heavy soldiers, but there was an expectation of seeing the big fish take the bait.

"Are all the artillery units connected?" For the sake of insurance, Xie Jinyuan still asked again.

Chief of Staff Deng Qiguang said with a smile: "Division, don't worry, I have already reported to Commander-in-Chief Xu, as long as I send a signal from my side, all artillery will be fired intensively, ensuring that the little devil will not be able to eat and walk around."

"Boom"

There was a burst of thunder on the ground, and since the Battle of Wuhan, the strongest artillery bombardment of the ** squadron began.

Shozaburo Sato originally planned to take Miaochi Town in one fell swoop and cut off the connection between Jiujiang and Mopan Mountain, but now the Sato detachment is under the attack of compassionate fire from these two directions. Miaozhi Town was originally just a small town, and the city wall mountain on the east and west sides was only less than 100 meters high, and the terrain was quite flat, which seemed to be a good place to attack, but if Mopan Mountain was in the hands of the squadron, the Japanese attack would be completely covered by ** firepower. An elite force of more than 14,000 people, under the command of the arrogant Shozaburo Sato, easily entered the dangerous situation.

12 75mm Bofors mountain guns, 12 Japanese 75mm 41-year guns, 12 American M1 75mm guns, 8 American 105mm M1A1 howitzers, and 12 FH18 heavy howitzers 32 times 15 howitzers. All the artillery went into a full-speed firing mode of 6 rounds per minute, one shell was stuffed into the barrel, one shot flew into the sky, and another shot fell into the crowd of devils.

The Sato detachment was already on its back, the offensive formation was completely disrupted, piles of Japanese troops were blown up, some were scurrying everywhere until they were blown into parts by shells, and some were hiding behind stones, but this could not avoid the rain of bullets falling from the sky, because the attacking troops were too dense, often a shell, killing a nest of devils.

Iwanaka Yoshiharu's 7th Wing of the tank enjoyed the highest treatment, dozens of tanks along the only road assault, was hit by **32 times 15 grenades, the tank unit had a certain ability to resist artillery bombardment, but the Japanese tank armor was really weak, like the 94 type ultralight tank, the load was only 3 tons, known as the "bean tank", the armor was only the appalling 6 mm rifle steel core bullet can penetrate smoothly, which can withstand 32 times the 15 grenades 90 pounds of high-explosive shells, and even a shell hit, Two beans that stayed together were blasted out of parts

Countless tanks have become a blazing torch, and the tank crews who are lucky enough to survive are running around, some holding their heads and trembling in the ground, and Sato Shozaburo saw with his own eyes that a charioteer knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Xie Jinyuan was in the binoculars, looking at all this coldly, and he made a gesture.

"Order all troops, prepare for a counterattack"
