Toushan took the telescope and carefully lay on the tree to look at the direction of Hengyang City, and only came down in the middle of the night to walk into a manor, the residents here are the shadows buried by the Japanese army more than ten years ago, and an old farmer has lived here for more than ten years pretending to be dumb, in order to come in handy one day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Toushan looked at the agent dressed as a peasant and asked, "So, this Hengyang City is no longer able to enter?" ”

The farmer bent down and said, "Hey! As early as a month ago, after the Tenth Army entered Hengyang, it began to mobilize the residents of Hengyang to move out, and after the imperial army captured Changsha, it began to forcibly relocate. Even the coolies they had forcibly recruited to help dig trenches had to live outside the city, especially at night, and if they found all those in the city without military uniform, they were arrested and put in the dungeons, and if they resisted, they were all shot. ”

Toushan gasped, looked at Hengyang, and felt extremely tricky, and asked, "Then do you have an authentic or something?" ”

The farmer shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This place is very close to the Xiangjiang River, and the groundwater is extremely developed. ”

Toushan asked again: "Do you have any photos of those materials that entered Hengyang some time ago?" ”

The peasant nodded, took out a few pictures, and said, "Since we are far away from the railway, I can only take a few pictures from a distance, sir." ”

Toushan took the photo and looked at it, but didn't find any clues, and suddenly made a difficulty, he walked a few laps with his hands behind his back, and finally sighed, "Then wait for the imperial army to start attacking, as long as the fight starts, they will not be able to leak like this again!" ”

One after another Japanese planes flew from Changsha to Hengyang airfield, although the defenders of Hengyang tried their best to destroy it, but under the repair of the Japanese army, it only took two days to let the here be used for another protest, and this will become the starting point of the Japanese bombing of Hengyang.

The 13th Division, this is a division that has a lot of feelings for Jiang Mediation, in 1910, Jiang Intermediary entered the 19th Field Artillery Wing as a "non-commissioned officer candidate" to enlist in the army, of course, whether Jiang Intermediary is studying military affairs or raising horses in this wing No one can say, but at this time, the commander of the 13th Division, Tanaka Jingyi, is working hard to take the position of the Nationalist Army in front of him.

Shizuichi Tanaka put down the binoculars and said, "Order the 19th Artillery Wing to carry out artillery cover, contact the aviation for air cover, the time is set at 8 o'clock, 8:30, and order the 26th Brigade to start attacking, with one wing as the deployment surface, attacking the northern and southern positions respectively, and using the spirit of bushido as a weapon to carry out an assault!" ”

Fang Xianjue looked at the map in the tunnel command post behind Shiniu Peak, talking to the officers next to him from time to time, and suddenly heard a whining sound, he hurriedly raised his head, and the communication soldiers outside had already run in and said, "Report!" The Japanese began air raids, and more than 50 fighters attacked the northern and southern positions respectively. ”

"Bang" A muffled sound came from Fang Xianjue's head, some dust drifted down, Fang Xianjue looked at the top of his head and said with a smile, "This method of this youth army is really good, such a command post is not afraid of the little devil's aircraft artillery at all, and ordered all the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to start counterattacking, and the military seat said, to give the little devil a head-on attack!" ”

On the position, the anti-aircraft guns were uncamouflaged, and the gunners kept shaking the wheels of the anti-aircraft guns to adjust the position. There are anti-aircraft guns, be careful with ground fire!! ”

Before the words fell, he saw that the anti-aircraft gun he saw was shooting a series of shells, and he hurriedly pulled up the plane, but it was still scratched, and the wings were missing more than ten centimeters, and he was terrified to see it.

This pilot was extremely lucky, due to the sudden attack, in just three minutes, the Japanese fighters lost seven or eight planes, Tanaka Shizuyi, who watched the battle from afar, was distressed, of course, the soldiers of the Nationalist Army cheered happily, and after being bombed for a long time, they could finally fight back.

"Yaga... Bombardment! Bombardment! After the Japanese artillery discovered that the Nationalist army had anti-aircraft guns, they immediately returned fire, and more than 40 75-mm mountain guns and field guns began to bombard the Shiniufeng position.

"The shelling of the devils has begun, immediately test the track, prepare to return fire!" He Kang, the commander of the First Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Youth Army, saw the signal from the mountain and hurriedly said.

All 12 150-mm heavy guns were placed behind Shiniufeng, and the shells were fired to the other side of the mountain by taking advantage of the curved fire characteristics of the howitzers.

"Position, Ding thirteen, twelve shots in a row! Begin!! He Kang waited until the calculation results came out, and immediately shouted loudly, 12 howitzers hurriedly adjusted their positions under the operation of the gunner, and as soon as the red flag waved, the gunner pulled the howitzer's rope hard, bang, and a series of shelling sounds sounded like music.

Twelve shells weighing 40 kilograms flew over the top of the hill and smashed into the Japanese artillery positions in a daze.

In addition to these heavy artillery, the mountain artillery and field artillery arranged on Shiniu Peak also began to counterattack, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was now defenseless to make the biggest blow.

Tanaka Shizuichi was watching the battle, and suddenly heard a burst of explosions on the left, and quickly turned his head to look, this look, almost made him faint, his cannon was blown up by a cannonball flying from nowhere, looking at the big pit that has a small half of a basketball court, he knew that it was definitely heavy artillery.

"Yaga...."Tanaka Shizuyi looked at Shi Niufeng viciously and shouted, "Contact the aviation force, you must destroy the enemy's heavy artillery position!" ”

The planes were also blown up, the artillery was also bombed, Fang Xianjue looked at the Japanese attack position at the observation post on the top of the mountain, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, what would be next? I guess it's infantry.

Sure enough, the Japanese army did not disappoint Fang Xianjue, a brigade of nearly 1,000 people, divided into more than a dozen straggler lines, like a wave to their own position began to attack, the Japanese mortars, infantry guns, grenadiers, light and heavy machine guns also followed the footsteps of the infantry to tilt bullets and shells to the Shiniufeng position.

"Hehe, order the bunkers of the first line of defense to prepare for an attack, and wait until they reach the minefield before firing."

At this time, the Japanese field artillery wing was engaged in an artillery battle with the heavy artillery regiment of the Youth Army, and neither side had the time to take care of the frontal battlefield, and the aviation was inseparable from the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground, and the Japanese infantry advanced very quickly, and soon came to the first line of defense.

"Yaga? What is this written? Bring it to me. The Japanese army captain Anda Sixteen looked at a sign inserted on the ground and asked strangely.

A Japanese soldier hurriedly showed the sign to Anda Sixteen, and when Anda Sixteen looked at it, it said, "A pit has been dug ahead, please bring your own tombstone to advance!" "I also drew a cartoon of a Nationalist soldier kicking a Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldier was holding a tombstone-like object, and in front of it was an open coffin grave pattern.

Anda Sixteen felt that his head was about to smoke, and he shouted angrily, "Attack!" Attack me!! ”

"Bang" A Japanese soldier stepped on a mine, one leg was cut off by the shrapnel of the mine, and flew into the air.

When the Japanese sappers stepped forward, they immediately fired at these sappers at the various firepower points of the bunker, because of the trench warfare of World War I, so that all countries paid great attention to their own sappers, these sappers in addition to the same combat ability as ordinary soldiers, but also will be able to build bridges and pave roads, mine sweeping trenches, attack and blast and other skills, it can be said that the value of a sapper is far greater than an ordinary infantry, which is why these bunkers see that the Japanese infantry does not fight, and specializes in workers.

These sappers had to clear mines and guard against the attack of the bunkers, but these bunkers were carefully designed, and the machine guns inside could easily strafe the opposite side, and many Japanese sappers were killed on the mine array.

In order to cover the engineers, Anda 16 could only order the troops to cover with fire, and let the artillery bombard those bunkers indiscriminately, and when the engineer troops finally opened up a few safe passages, the time was already noon, and the Japanese troops who had been fighting for a long time retreated to repair and eat.

Shizuichi Tanaka came to the headquarters of the 26th Brigade with a gloomy face and asked all the officers above the captain to come in for a meeting.

All the Japanese commanders lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Tanaka Shizuichi, Tanaka Shizuichi took a breath and asked, "Is the count finished?" How much was lost? ”

A staff officer stubbornly said, "My 26th Brigade lost 482 soldiers, 263 were seriously wounded, and some were slightly wounded. It hasn't been counted yet. ”

"Smack!" Shizuichi Tanaka slapped the staff officer viciously, only causing all the Japanese commanders to feel a pain in their faces.

"Seven hundred casualties in one morning, and we haven't even touched the foot of Shiniu Peak, are you going to defeat the enemy by making them laugh to death?" Tanaka Shizuichi exclaimed angrily, "I watched it all morning, why did you stop moving forward when you reached a place about 1,500 meters away from Shiniu Peak. ”

"Because there are mine arrays in front, which are very wide, nearly 500 meters long, and the enemy has set up a large number of bunkers and barbed wire, it is very difficult for our troops to advance." Immediately, an officer argued: "So we let the sappers come forward to clear the mines." ”

"Very well, then you tell me, what model of heavy machine gun is the enemy? What is the effective range? Shizuichi Tanaka asked with his hands behind his back.

"The most numerous are MG-08 heavy machine guns with an effective range of 2000 meters and a maximum range of 3500 meters." The officer replied immediately.

"The basics are not bad, so tell me now, what about ours?" Shizuichi Tanaka continued to ask.

"The Imperial Army used a Type 92 heavy machine gun with an effective firing range of 1,000 meters.."

"So you spent a morning in a place where enemy heavy machine guns could hit us, and we couldn't reach them?" Shizuichi Tanaka interrupted the officer's words sharply, "In the afternoon battle, we must give full play to the characteristics of the Imperial Japanese Army that dare to fight and rush, isn't it just a mine, what is there to be afraid of?" You lose more after delaying like this than rushing straight through! Do you understand? ”

"Hey!"

The position of the Nationalist Army on the other side was also resting, and Fang Xianjue walked on the position, comforting the soldiers from time to time and directing the soldiers to repair the fortifications.

"Report, after the count, we only suffered less than 300 casualties in the morning, more than half of them were injured by the devil's planes and artillery, and few were really killed by the devil's infantry, this is unbelievable. If this is the case, we can keep it for a month! An officer came up and said.

Fang Xianjue nodded, looked at the Japanese attack position and said, "I don't know how many devils have died, this time the enemy is outnumbered, tell the brothers, we must kill three of them to save the capital..."

"Woo woo" A whistling sound came, and Fang Xianjue immediately lay down and shouted, "Be careful of shelling!"

The Japanese offensive in the afternoon began.

It was still a wing attack, layer upon layer like a wave, Anda Sixteen rushed to the front with his troops, and from time to time he waved his sword and shouted, "Attack!!" Offensive!!! ”

There was no reaction on the mountain quietly, Anda Sixteen looked at Shiniu Peak like an uninhabited position, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he shook his head, and continued to rush forward, and suddenly found that the Japanese troops in front of him were lined up and didn't know what they were doing, and they didn't move forward.

Anda Sixteen thought it was another landmine, and angrily ran forward and scolded, "Baga! What are you doing? Charge! Charge! Don't hurt..."

When Anda Sixteen also came to the front, he looked at everything in front of him in amazement, a very deep and wide trench appeared in front of him, and the nail board and bamboo sticks below looked at him as if they were provocative, and some Japanese soldiers who had been squeezed down or wanted to try to jump fell into the trench, and were stuck in the ground with nail boards and bamboo sticks, screaming. ”

"Hit!!"

Anda Sixteen clearly heard the voice of a Chinese, and then, countless machine guns, rifles, mortars, and grenades rained down on him, and Anda Sixteen only felt that the sky was spinning, and then he didn't know anything.

Anda 16 was lucky to be blown unconscious, but Fang Xianjue saw it clearly on the mountain, the waves of the Japanese army gathered together in front of their trenches, and then they were hit hard by their own troops, and when the Japanese troops withdrew in embarrassment, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers left in front of Fang Xianjue's trenches were dense, I don't know how many. Because this trench was too deep and wide, and the defenders couldn't easily pass it, Fang Xianjue could only look at the Japanese weapons left on the battlefield and drool, and constantly comforted himself in his heart, and when he won the battle, it would be his own.

Fang Xianjue looked at Hu Lian's defensive position, and found that it was the same as in front of his own position, full of corpses, he couldn't help but smile, and said to the communication soldiers beside him, "Telegraph military seat, the second attack of the Japanese army has been repelled by our army, the enemy's corpses are everywhere, uncountable, our division has suffered less than two companies of casualties, morale is high, and we can continue to fight." ”

The Japanese army launched four attacks on Shiniufeng in this afternoon, in addition to the first time, the other three times carried a large number of ladders and planks, the Japanese army's combat can not be described as brave, firepower can not be described as not strong, but under the defense of Fang Xianjue and Hu Lian, not even a passage has been established, Tanaka Jingyi looked at the Shiniufeng standing in the distance, his brows furrowed, he suddenly found that this time the opponent seemed to be much stronger than he imagined, this is still the first day, the number of casualties exceeded two thousand, this is something that has never been seen before, even in Changsha, there has never been such a difficult position.
