395 Dingzhou Corpse Mountain
Although, on the streets of Anju City, there is no lingering of flies because of the cold. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info, but there is still a suffocating and eerie atmosphere here.
Because of the weather, the blood here has congealed, and there is a black red on the ground, which is shocking at a glance.
In the same way, the cold sealed the smell of the corpse's decay, froze the wounds that bloomed like flowers, and froze one terrifying moment after another.
The corpses here are stacked high, this is not a rumor, but a real fact. The Japanese army was ordered to desperately defend this besieged city, so they could only use their own flesh and blood to complete the combat mission assigned by their superiors.
The Japanese nation is a nation worthy of study, and they have some good national qualities, including the kind of death that was born out of Chinese culture.
They saw the shattering of jade as a form of glory, and rank and file soldiers and mid- and lower-ranking officers would rather die than watch their country fail.
Compared with the wisdom of the Chinese nation, or the more resolute gentleman's death, these Japanese have raised the myth of suicide culture to an unprecedented height.
These people who don't seem to be afraid of death see suicide as a way to prove themselves, with a kind of "You see everyone is committing suicide, if I don't kill myself, am I a coward?" "Such a comparison......
Of course, here, in Anzhou, the Japanese defense forces did not allow the soldiers to be broken, but the officers who defended here were more ferocious and vicious.
They ordered their seriously wounded to be broken to save medicine and medical resources. Then organize their own lightly wounded to counterattack the troops of the Ming Empire at night, and consume these as well.
Therefore, the offensive and defensive battle of Anzhou was bloody from the beginning, at least the Japanese themselves played a red style, which made this war a desperate crimson for the Japanese soldiers.
If it weren't for the weather, the city would have been plagued long ago, with mountains of corpses piled up and rivers of blood gathered here.
In every room, every building and room, every courtyard and every street, the Japanese soldiers repeatedly fought with the attacking forces of the Ming Empire.
What they lost during the day was recaptured at night with the wounded with explosives wrapped in their bodies. For three days in a row, the Ming Empire had no way to attack the core city of Anzhou, and the battle was ten times more tragic than everyone imagined.
Mitsui Takanomiya deployed 50,000 infantry here, as well as anti-tank guns and explosives kits, with which the Japanese defenders were required to hold out for 30 days.
It was precisely this almost unreasonable demand that forced the Japanese defense forces to re-examine their defensive tactics. The previous cities were lost too quickly, which means that the method is wrong!
Therefore, the Japanese army changed its combat deployment of resisting on the outskirts of the city and adopted the defensive idea of taking street fighting as the main body. They were staggered with the attacking forces of the Ming Empire to neutralize the Ming Empire's firepower superiority.
I have to say that the Japanese army, which was forced to the edge of the cliff by the Ming Empire, found a hooligan way to harm others and themselves.
They used street fighting to really entangle the pace of the Ming Empire's attack, and made the soldiers of the Ming Empire, who had just come into contact with street fighting, pay a very heavy price.
During the two-day attack, the Ming Empire's siege force lost a full 11,000 soldiers. Compared to attacks from other directions, this loss was already terrifying.
Although the Japanese army also lost 24,000 soldiers, compared with the ratio of battle losses between the two sides in the field battle of 3 to 1 or even 5 to 1, it is obvious that the Japanese defenders took advantage of the battle for Anju.
However, this is not for nothing, the original volume of Anzhou City is not huge, most of the buildings here have collapsed now, and observing the city from a distance, it is no different from a ruined garbage dump.
Among the countless ruins are the bodies of 20,000 Japanese defenders, 30,000 soldiers from both sides, and almost 50,000 civilians in Anju.
It has almost been wiped off the face of the earth by the Ming and Japanese Empires - it may take ten years, perhaps more, more time to rebuild it.
Now, however, the third day has arrived, and the problems encountered by the Japanese defenders have become more and more numerous as time goes on. Their ammunition began to run low, and they were able to use fewer and fewer soldiers.
The Ming Empire can rotate its troops and come here to find the bad luck of the Japanese, but the Japanese defenders have no reserves in their hands, and their soldiers are very tired, and many of them have not had a good rest since two days ago.
In some of the streets flattened by shells, in those craters of various depths, Japanese soldiers with their eyes closed like corpses could be seen everywhere.
They wrapped themselves in overcoats and closed their eyes tiredly in the cold air...... Some unlucky people just close their eyes forever and never open them again.
"Hah! Little Japan also has today. Putting down the binoculars in his hand, a nearly 60-year-old general with the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulder gloated and mocked his adjutant.
This old general is short, and it is difficult for you to imagine that such a man of 1.6 meters is the commander of a group army, an old soldier who is on a par with Sima Mingwei in terms of military age.
He commanded the 29th Army that year, recaptured Panjin, and when he heard about the Panjin tragedy, he hoped that one day, he could decide the life and death of the Japanese.
Now, he was promoted to commander of the 29th Army, succeeding the 1st Army, and was ordered to besiege Anju and capture it.
At this moment, he can justifiably launch an attack on the Japanese army in the city, with more strength than he invested back then, and more refreshed than the revenge he took back then!
"Order the heavy artillery troops, and fight one more round...... Seeing that it's time to eat at noon, let's have some fun with these bastard Japanese. Wrapping the woolen coat on his body, Feng Pingzhang gave an order loudly.
When this order was given, his beard shook in the wind. The momentum of the teeth and claws made the herald couldn't help but laugh - it was really short Zhang Fei.
Although Zhang Fei is not Zhang Fei, when it comes to Feng Pingzhang's tactical style, he is more fierce than Zhang Feilai.
For three consecutive days, he worked tirelessly, commanding and dispatching dozens of divisions under his command, taking turns to engage the Japanese in Anju, but allowing each division to maintain almost the same losses and attrition.
With this delicacy, Feng Pingzhang's wrong name of "Dwarf Zhang Fei" can be regarded as well-deserved. (To be continued.) )
