Meat grinder of the Japanese army

Xiangshan, as the first defensive position of Zhenjiang City, is the only forward position, and it is the entire defense line, the only commanding height. There is no doubt that in the next few days, it will be the most fierce position in the entire offensive and defensive battle.

After a day and a night of construction, plus the original Japanese position on the mountainside. The entire Xiangshan, with the efforts of the soldiers, has long been turned into a strong military fortress. For the safety of this military fortress, Sun Shiquan, commander of the 27th Army, did not hesitate to hand over this position to more than 2,000 commanders and fighters of the 235th Regiment, the most powerful of the 27th Army.

Standing in the sturdy underground headquarters of Xiangshan, through the lookout, the Japanese military camp two kilometers away was very clearly displayed in the eyes of the regiment commander Xiao Yueping. Seeing that in front of him, there was a large area of black pressing, gathering tens of thousands of elite Japanese soldiers, Xiao Yueping asked in a deep voice to the political commissar beside him.

"Political commissar, so many little devils are stationed in front of us, has there been any big fluctuations in the mood of the troops...."

"It's very emotionally stable. You must know that in our regiment, the proportion of veterans accounts for a full eighty percent. These veterans, after so many years of fighting, have never seen what kind of formation. The tens of thousands of little devils in front of them have not yet been put in their eyes. More importantly, a large shipment of weapons and ammunition had just arrived from headquarters a day earlier. With the addition of these weapons, in terms of light weapons alone, the light and heavy machine guns and mortars equipped with one of our 235 regiments are equivalent to a field brigade of the Japanese army..."The political commissar replied in the affirmative.

"In terms of weapons and ammunition, I'm not worried at all. Now, the only thing I'm worried about is the artillery fire and air strikes of the little devils. Although, our positions are strong enough. However, when encountering the enemy's large-caliber howitzer shells and heavy aerial bombs, they will still become weak and vulnerable......" Regiment Commander Xiao Yueping nodded and replied.

"Regiment commander, we don't have to worry about the artillery fire of the Japanese army in the moon. When accepting the mission, the army commander had already clearly told us that the enemy's artillery fire, the chief of the general staff would solve it for us. What we can do with the Japanese air attack is to be as concealed as possible and reduce the damage caused by the Japanese air power to our troops...," said the chief of staff.

"The chief of staff is right, but this is also the only way for us to hold out on to the Xiangshan position for a longer time with the existing forces in our hands. Chief of Staff, order the troops, while the little devils have not yet attacked, seize the time to rest. All the scouts were sent out to me to keep an eye on the Japanese position, and if there was any abnormal movement, they immediately fired a warning shot at me. If nothing else, tomorrow morning at the latest, the little devil on the opposite side will attack us..."Xiao Yueping nodded in agreement and ordered very decisively.

"Yes, Captain..."

The night was fine, just the next day, when it was just getting dark. A sharp gunshot broke the silence of the early morning. Xiao Yueping, the regiment commander who heard the gunshots, rushed into the headquarters at the first time and stood at the lookout.

"Chief of Staff, what's going on, where are the gunshots coming from..."

"It was the gunshots of the scouts who called the police. Commander, you see, the little devil's barracks are starting to move. The enemy on the opposite side, as you guessed, intends to launch an attack on our Xiangshan position today..."The chief of staff replied, pointing to the Japanese barracks two kilometers away.

Raising the telescope in his hand, the Japanese position two kilometers away was very clearly displayed in front of everyone.

Sure enough, just as the chief of staff said, groups of elite Japanese troops in full armor, carrying a large number of light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and other heavy weapons, under the command of commanders at all levels, ran out of the barracks in an orderly manner and began to line up about one kilometer away from the position to build an offensive position.

In the center of the huge barracks of the Japanese army, dozens of large-caliber artillery pieces, under the manipulation of a large number of devil soldiers, began to fade their artillery coats and raise their black muzzles. One by one, the logistics soldiers began to shuttle between the artillery positions and the logistics warehouses, carrying boxes of boxes that were obviously full of shells to the side of the gun emplacements...

"Political commissar, chief of staff, little devils have worked hard to deal with us. I just counted, a full forty large-caliber guns, and I hope that the Chief of the General Staff, will be able to quickly solve these guns. Otherwise, let the enemy's artillery bombard for an hour, and the position we worked so hard to build will become a ruin..."Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Yueping said with a worried face. "Woo woo woo..." As soon as his words fell, a sharp whistling sound broke through the air and reached their ears. Immediately after that, just after their ears, the invincible Japanese artillery position, dozens of puffs of smoke rose up. At the same time, a series of violent explosions also reached their ears. Everyone in the general headquarters, including Commander Xiao Yueping, was taken aback.

"What's going on, where did the shelling come from ... Why is the artillery position of the little devil missing..."Commander Xiao Yueping, who was shocked, subconsciously asked rhetorically when he saw the Japanese artillery position that had been completely shrouded in gunsmoke.

"Haha, regimental commander, it's the chief of the General Staff, our artillery actually struck first. The little devil's artillery position is over, and the enemy's artillery is finished..."The chief of staff, who was the first to react next to him, said with an excited face.

Sure enough, just as the chief of staff's words fell, the second round of shells once again whistled over everyone's heads, and landed on the Japanese artillery positions very accurately, once again raising countless plumes of smoke.

It turned out that before the war, the Japanese military camp was divided into countless shelling areas by nearly 1,000 special combat members of the 1st Special Operations Regiment. After learning the location of the specific artillery positions of the Japanese army, the special combat personnel scattered in various places only need to report the specific shelling area. The artillery units in the rear can destroy the artillery that poses the greatest threat to the defending troops in the shortest possible time by concentrating fire.

However, Xiao Yueping, who was excited at this moment, no longer wanted to know the specific reason for the sudden devastating blow to the Japanese artillery position. Because, without the threat of Japanese artillery, Commander Xiao Yueping was even more confident in whether he could hold his position....

At this moment, the voice of the chief of staff beside him once again reached his ears.

"Commander, the little devils are attacking...."

The Japanese attacking troops, which had lost their artillery, did not lose their sharpness, and with the support of several bombers in the air, they still launched an attack. The first attack, of course, was only a tentative attack by an infantry squad.

"It's just a tentative attack by the little devils. Ordered a company, after putting the little devil fifty meters in, greeted me with grenades and rifles. Without my order, anyone is forbidden to use light and heavy machine guns and mortars to expose the firing point in advance...."Looking at the several planes circling back and forth in the sky, a sneer quickly flashed at the corner of Xiao Yueping's mouth, and he ordered very decisively...

A small squad of Japanese troops, when they were still two hundred meters from the first-line trenches, began to accelerate. Just when more than fifty devil soldiers, one by one, straightened their waists, held bayonets, and rushed into the range of fifty meters with a roar. In the front-line trenches, more than a hundred grenades emitting white smoke were suddenly thrown.

In an instant, the sound of a violent grenade explosion began to sound constantly at the front of the position. Before more than 50 devil soldiers could make any evasions, most of them were overturned, fell in a pool of blood, and turned into corpses.

As for the remaining dozen or so devil soldiers, although they saved their lives. However, after the dense grenade explosion just now, he was already dizzy. Before he could react from the shock, a dense burst of gunfire came from the trench not far away.

More than a hundred high-speed flying bullets, no doubt, in the shortest possible time, shot into the bodies of the remaining dozen little devils, turning them into corpses that could no longer die.

Major General Yoshino, the former enemy commander of the Japanese forward command and the commander of the Japanese army, saw the strength of his own team, and had not yet detected any firepower points of the Japanese, so he fell in a pool of blood in such an unknown way, and not even a single one survived. A face was immediately flushed red because of anger.

"Eight Ge Yalu, cunning Shina people. Order the aviation, blow up the enemy's front-line positions to ruins for me, and avenge the warriors of chalcedony ...."

With a sharp whistling sound, one aerial bomb after another, like laying eggs, landed on the position, exploding one after another. However, at this very moment, the company defending in the front-line trenches had already withdrawn from the trenches after solving the strength of a small Japanese team.

After all, the ammunition that Japanese planes were able to carry was limited. In less than ten minutes, several bombers had to stop bombing because they ran out of ammunition and began to hover in the air in a deterrent manner.

Dozens of aerial bombs came down, although they blew up a lot of gaps in the strong trenches. However, it did not inflict even one casualty on the company that retreated ahead of time ....

Seeing the front-line trenches in front of him, completely shrouded in gunsmoke, Major General Yoshino was once again full of confidence. To the subordinates around him, he ordered very decisively.

"Order each brigade directly under the mortar squad, launch a saturation artillery bombardment on the enemy's first-line trenches, and ten minutes later, the first brigade will launch a group charge to the first-line positions in China and destroy all the people in China...."

"Ha Yi...", the chief of staff quickly took the order and left.

"Boom, boom, boom....", as the dense mortar fire ended. An infantry brigade, nearly a thousand little devils, lined up in a dense offensive formation, appeared directly in front of the front-line trenches. At the same time, on the Japanese offensive position, a machine gun position composed of dozens of heavy machine guns also shot a dense rain of bullets, covering the infantry to launch a charge as much as possible....
