Chapter 573: Sickness and Struggle

Sakhalin, on the Harlem Mountains

After more than half a month of desperate digging by the Japanese army, the caves here have been made into interconnected tunnels, and countless Japanese soldiers are hiding in the caves. Now they no longer have the momentum they had when they first started the war, and hunger, thirst and fatigue are tormenting them.

The area around Harlem with a radius of more than 20 kilometers has been outflanked by the Chinese army, all the passages leading to Harlem Mountain have been blocked, and the 50,000 Chinese army has surrounded Harlem Mountain like an iron pass.

A week ago, under the command of the newly arrived commander of the 58th Division, Matsumoto Taisho Division, the newly arrived commander of the 58th Division, the commander of the 58th Division, under the cover of more than 50 26 tanks, launched a large-scale counterattack against the Chinese marines. However, under the attack of tanks and Stuka fighters of the 3rd Panzer Division, which rushed to hear the news, more than 3,000 corpses were left behind and retreated in disarray, and the Japanese army never took the initiative to counterattack again.

After occupying the Harlem airfield, Huaxia finally had a stable forward base, and more than 100 "giant" transport planes and airships transported troops from Vladivostok to the front line day and night. Harlem Airport is only more than 30 kilometers away from Harlem Mountain, and the Air Force's B-17 heavy bombers can tilt countless heavy bombs on the heads of the Japanese troops who are close at hand.

On a near-flattened position, two Japanese soldiers crept out of the tunnel, tasked with catching up on the Hotline line, which had been blown off by a shell. Thirty meters apart from each other, two ragged Japanese soldiers will slowly climb the target of the Hotline Line towards a small hill on the side until they find the blown wire. At this moment, a large plane with many barrels on the exterior flew in the air, and a burst of fire flashed under the belly of this plane, and the position of the two Japanese soldiers was immediately enveloped in a cloud of smoke and fire, and a few minutes later the huge plane swayed forward again.

In order to provide inexhaustible air support to the ground troops, Air Force Commander Gao Zhihang specially dispatched six air gunboats converted from "giant" transport planes to stay in the skies above Mount Harlem in three shifts to provide air support for the ground troops around the clock. The Japanese soldiers even listed these slow-moving but unusually unusual aerial gunboats as even more dangerous air killers than the famous Stukka. Its rain of MG42 bullets from the sky, combined with its 20-mm aerial guns and 37- and 75-mm rapid-fire guns, was a nightmare for infantry on the ground, and under the "aerial gunboats" equipped with advanced targeting systems, no infantry or armored vehicle locked by them could escape their clutches.

In this way, the Chinese army gradually overstocked the living space of the Japanese army, and wanted to starve them to death and trap them to death.

At the end of another day of fierce fighting, when the sun was setting in the afterglow reflected on the top of Harlem Mountain, the faltering Zhang Yanbo bent down and grabbed the loose soil from the cement-like dust, and he could clearly feel that dozens of shrapnel could be counted from the stone powder mixed with soil in his hand. More than a hundred warheads and shrapnel were embedded in a tree pole less than a meter long. After being flattened by artillery fire for more than half a month by two or three meters, the hill has been flattened several meters again today, and it can be said that it has been completely soaked in blood.

On the top of the hill, the large concrete walls of the fortress are upside down like building blocks for children to play with. Luolu out of the steel bars, under the still smoking ground under these forts, thousands of soldiers are still buried underneath, during the siege lost their arms all the humble tools to hollow out the mountain under the fort into several layers of narrow tunnels, there are thousands of holes in it. From the entrances to some of the tunnels, there was a pungent smoke mixed with the stench of decomposing corpses.

After a month of siege, Mount Harlem was stricken by hunger and thirst. The soldiers in the tunnels almost lost the confidence to fight, but the courage of the suicidal attack brought by desperation, the battle in the complex and narrow tunnel system caused the attacking army to suffer great losses, and in the fierce fighting in the tunnels, the Marines used everything they could think of, and the battle became a hunting battle when they used grenades, explosive packs, flamethrowers, and gas canisters to chase the prey hidden underground.

In a tunnel under the highest peak of Mount Harlem, the commanders of the 58th Division, Lieutenant General Inoue Yoshio and Major General Sasaki, each sat in ragged clothes on an ammunition box. After so many days of fighting, the original army of more than 20,000 people was left with only more than 4,000 people, and only the last few peaks of Harlem Mountain were still in the hands of the Japanese army.

Inoue Yoshio swallowed hard and moistened his chapped throat, and said hoarsely: "Sasa-kun, let's jointly send a report to the base camp together, just say that the entire imperial army of the 58th Division and the 155th Brigade is determined to propose a decisive attack on the position of the people of China this evening, and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Empire!" ”

Sasaki Muran, who had a bandage hanging from his arm, nodded his head, the Japanese troops in the tunnel have now run out of ammunition and food, and if they don't plan a counterattack, I'm afraid that the soldiers won't even have the strength to stand up in two days.

"Okay!" Sasaki gritted his teeth and ordered the guards to take down all the military flags, prepare to pour gasoline on them at night and hold a flag-burning ceremony, and then ordered the soldiers to abandon the tunnel and charge at night.

On a flat ground on the periphery of the Harlem Mountain position, Cheng Kai, who was leaning against the tank, smoked a cigarette leisurely, and in this fierce mountain battle, most of the time their armored troops could only be used as mobile batteries, which made him really depressed after being used to galloping on the Siberian Plain. Alas, it's still Siberian cool, although it's a little colder there, but the Russian girls there are very enthusiastic......

"Tuanza, Tuanza!" A small cry pulled Cheng Kai out of his infinite meaning.

"If you fart, let it go!" Cheng Kai, who was not angry, asked without replying.

"Danza, guess what I saw just now?" An officer wearing the rank of captain walked over and whispered in Cheng Kai's ear: "I saw a group of female soldiers at the division headquarters just now. ”

"What, female soldier?" Cheng Kai spewed out a thick column of smoke from his nose, almost choking him, he cracked his mouth and smiled: "Liu Tianhai, I said that you were not stunned by the cannonball of the little devil, or you want to be crazy about women, where are the female soldiers in our combat army!" Or do you think of a little white face as a woman? ”

"Tuanza!" Liu Tianhai was anxious, "Even if I am blind, I can smell the mosquitoes three miles away, those female soldiers have just gotten off the plane one by one, and I saw with my own eyes that they are still wearing sky blue training uniforms!" ”

"Sky blue training uniforms?" Cheng Kai was stunned, that is the costume of the Airborne Troops, when will the Airborne Forces also call female soldiers, he hinted at me and asked suspiciously: "You won't frame me when you are young, right, the Airborne Forces are directly under the strategic army under the direct command of the Ministry of Defense and the President, when will a group of girls be able to enter?" ”

"Tuanza, if I want to lie to you, let me go to the food class to carry the black pot!" Liu Tianhai was so anxious that he swore and cursed, "Nuo, look, aren't they here?" ”。

"One-two-one, one-two-one, walk together!" A crisp command sounded from not far away, and not far away, a team of hundreds of foot companions walked over with neat laws.

"Let's go!" Cheng Kai's mouth was like a hippopotamus courting, the lit cigarette was lost on the ground, and Cheng Kai had the same face as the group of stupid soldiers under him.

At this moment, they suddenly felt that where they saw were female soldiers, they were clearly a group of angels descending from heaven......

In the thinking of the world, especially the Orientals, the phrase "war makes women go away" has always been a famous saying that men regard as a golden rule, and there are not no female soldiers in the army, but they are generally in the lower positions such as nurses, communications and confidentiality, at least Cheng Kai has not heard of any army that allows female soldiers to step on the rifle and fight with men on the front line, but today's scene completely broke Cheng Kai's previous creed.

At this time, a female officer who led the team in this infantry team walked in front of Cheng Kai, saluted a standard military salute, and said crisply: "Talking about the main seat, Mi Xiaonuo, the commander of the second battalion of the 366th Regiment of the Second Airborne Division, led his troops to come to garrison, please give instructions to the main seat." ”

Liu Tianhai, who was on the side of the "main seat", stabbed Cheng Kai in the waist.

Uh, Hello Major Miff, you are the reinforcements who were ordered to garrison this defensive area with us? Cheng Kai, who came back to his senses, finally stammered a complete sentence.

"Yes, we just got off the plane today, and the order we received is to cooperate with your Seventh Armored Regiment to hold this defensive ground!" The female major said in a straight voice.

Cheng Kai's eyes were moist, and he suddenly had a feeling that the ground was starting to shake, what the hell is this called, buddy likes to look at beautiful women, but this doesn't actually mean that he likes to take women with soldiers, what does the division base think of his seventh armored regiment, nanny? There are more than 300 female soldiers in this infantry team! Nima's, how can we fight!

"Lord!" The female major, who had a pair of thick sword eyebrows that was rare for a woman, frowned: "Lord, you seem to have some opinions about our arrival, right?" ”ro@
