Chapter 353: The Battle of the Woniu River (4)

The next morning, in the Japanese army west road crusade headquarters in Sunwu County, after receiving a report from the front line, the Japanese commander Yamashita Fengwu was immediately furious, threw the report to the ground, and scolded: "The rice bucket, all the rice buckets, under the powerful artillery bombardment of the empire and the support of the aircraft, you attack so slowly, have you all lived to dogs all these years, you can't even take a small position of a branch person, and that damn Dejiang Guang, finally opened the road to the Woniu River, It was so careless to let the people of China retake their positions, and the artillery camp was blown up by the people of China, which is really damned. ”

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, Tokue Mitsu has been killed in battle."

"Immediately send a report to Komatsuba Michitaro on the front line, ordering Komatsubarara Michitaro to immediately lead the team to take over Tokue Hikatsu's troops, and give him a day to be sure to take down the waist tun doban, otherwise he won't come to see me."

"Hello!"

After receiving the order of the commander Yamashita Fengwu, Komatsuba Michitaro who had just taken over the camp immediately organized troops to launch a tentative attack on the waist Daotun, Komatsubara Michitaro is a native of Kanna Prefecture, Japan, graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the Army University, and as soon as he graduated, he came to the first division of the Kwantung Army as the captain of the first squadron, and on January 11, 1935, Komatsubara Michitaro who had just taken office led his squadron to fight against China on the red soil cliff in Linjiang County, Jilin Province. On June 17, he participated in the sweeping troops in Ma'anshantun, Boli County, Heilongjiang Province, and killed He Zhongguo, the head of the Political Department of the Fourth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and on August 3 of the same year, he ambushed the Third Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army in the Loujia Shed in Zhuhe County (now Shangzhi City) in Heilongjiang Province and killed Zhang Yuheng, director of the Political Department of the Third Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army. All his way up, he relied on the blood of the heroes of the Anti-Japanese Federation.

The encirclement and suppression of North Manchuria began. Komatsubara Michitaro Osaku faithfully carried out the battle plan set by the Kwantung Army Headquarters and implemented an iron siege. After several days and nights of encirclement and suppression, the goal of the campaign was basically achieved. The resistance in North Manchuria was swept away. Seeing that the last battle was about to end, he was completely aware of the largest resistance force in Manzhou, but he didn't expect a sudden change, the main force of the Shina people actually gathered in the area of the Woniu River to block the footsteps of the empire, Komatsubara Michitaro sent Tokue Hikaru to follow him for many years to fight, I thought it was easy to solve the Shina army that blocked the advance of the empire, but I didn't expect that not only Tokue Mitsu died. It also inflicted considerable losses on the troops, and even destroyed the artillery squadron assigned to him by the commander.

What is particularly humiliating is that the imperial soldiers, who have always been strict, actually let the group of people who can only hide and hide from the mountains sneak attack and succeed, shame! It really disgraced His Majesty the Emperor's face.

Annoyed and angry, Komatsubara Michitaro hurriedly marched overnight to the front-line camp to stabilize his position, organize his troops, and prepare for the attack.

With the earth-shattering sound of shelling, Komatsubara Michitaro Osa's heart felt a little better, and he felt that under such a fierce artillery fire. Not to mention people, even a mountain will be flattened a few feet.

Things were a bit out of the way of Komatsubara Michitaro Osa's expectations, I thought that the Shina people on the mountain would be wiped out by the artillery bombardment of the second party, when the Japanese infantry squadron cautiously touched the distance less than fifty meters from the position, Komatsubara-do at the bottom of the mountain looked at the position that was about to be occupied with a telescope, and his tense face showed a smile, "Boom..." A huge bombing sound sent the Japanese squadron sent to the front into the sky, and a large number of dead and wounded by the mines that exploded everywhere.

These mines turned out to be after the capture of positions last night. Liu Tieshi took advantage of the fact that the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain were too busy to take care of themselves, and specially sent an engineer platoon to place a mine array 50 meters away from the position, and the people on the position did not fire a single shot. Let the troops sent out by Komatsubara Michitaro be killed and wounded by nearly a team, his face instantly turned pale, he didn't expect that even the dead people of China did not forget to place the damn land mines, and really wanted to catch the people who developed this method of warfare to pieces.

Before the Japanese squadron could recover from the roar just now, they heard a "hit" from above. Park Deshan pulled the trigger and killed a Japanese soldier Cao who had been aiming for a long time. Quickly moved the target and hit another Japanese machine gunner. While firing the gun, he shouted: "Throw grenades!" He grabbed a grenade beside him, pulled the fuse, silently counted three times, and threw it towards the place with the most people. At this time, the Japanese army was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the anti-coalition forces. Hurry back and get back.

Seeing that the people on the mountain were not killed by the previous artillery bombardment, but were very tenacious to counterattack down the mountain, so that the corpses left by the attacking troops retreated in ashes. The 75-mm Type 41 mountain guns of the artillery squadron of the wing, the Type 92 infantry guns of the brigade guns, and the reinforced independent mortar squadron specially requested support from the headquarters before departure, fired shells that exploded into a sea of fire within a radius of several miles from the waist tun road class.

Although the geographical location of the Waist Tun Daoban is not important, it is stuck on the only way for the Japanese army to attack the Shengshan Fortress, of course, there are other roads, but those roads are rugged and difficult to travel. The hill where the waist tun road class is located is not high, and the slope is also very gentle. But it is the best walking road in the whole Woniu River.

As long as the defense line of the Waist Tun Daoban is broken, and the other defense lines deployed by the people on the other side of the Woniu River are not breached, then the imperial army can cross the Woniu River and rush to the Shengshan Fortress as quickly as possible, and eliminate the headquarters of the China people, and the remaining resistance forces of the Zhina will not be worried.

Although the fortifications that have been built at Katsuyama Fortress are extremely strong, the main firepower points that have been built are directed towards the north of the river. Most of the flank fortifications on its south side are still under construction and are far from complete.

Once the first line of the Woniu River was breached, the entire Sun-Wu area had no forces that could stop the imperial army, and the victorious front line of the defenders of Shengshan Fortress could hardly hold back the attack of a wing of the Japanese army, which could not even gather the defensive forces. The Shengshan Fortress, which has been seized by the security people, has the possibility of falling back into the hands of the empire, and by the way, the enemy's anti-coalition headquarters of the empire will be eliminated, if Meng Qingshan, the leader of the anti-bandits, is caught, then his rank of major general is no longer a dream, maybe he can be promoted to two levels at once, to lieutenant general, the more Michitaro Komatsubara thinks about it, the more excited he becomes, urging his soldiers to attack the position on the mountain.

Liu Tieshi, who knew the importance of the position of the Waist Tun Daoban, did not dare to slack off in the face of the impact of the Japanese army in turn. The command troops stubbornly relied on the fortifications that had been built on the mountain to resist step by step. The crossfire formed by its light and heavy machine guns inflicted heavy casualties on the attacking Japanese troops.

But the Japanese army was like a non-stop tide, when the first wave of the tide smashed the embankment, the second, third, and even more tides desperately rushed to the embankment. Both sides were red-eyed, looking at each other with red eyes. He kept sending bullets in the chamber of his hand and even bayonets into the opponent's chest.

The Japanese troops, who were almost crazy, moved the mountain artillery up and pushed it to a small hill. As long as there is fire from the anti-union position, it will be knocked through with accurate direct artillery fire.

As early as before, in order to prevent the Japanese heavy artillery and aircraft from attacking the fortifications, the fortifications of the Waist Tun Daoban were built to one meter, or even two meters, and most of the fortifications were in the semi-underground position mountain. More of its fortifications were semi-field fortifications. The power of the seventy-five-mm mountain cannon was more than enough to cope. The 1st Battalion of the 39th Regiment, which could not stay outside the fortifications, could only withdraw from these fortifications and temporarily rely on bunkers to continue to resist the Japanese attack.
