"What, continue the shelling, our guys are still on it?" Yoshikawa received the flag order issued to him by Ushijima Mitsuru and was very dissatisfied.

Yoshikawa sent a flag to inquire.

"Tell Yoshikawa that this is an order!" Ushijima said sternly.

As long as you can occupy the river defense position of the Chinese army, a little sacrifice is worth it, how can there be no immortal in a war, and the battle death field is the highest honor of the emperor!

"Yaga, Ushijima is a madman!" When Yoshikawa received the order, he was furious and opened fire on his own people, which was to go to a military court.

"Sir, what should I do?"

"Fire!" Although Yoshikawa was angry, he reluctantly gave the order to open the cannon, and if the landing failed, with this order, then Ushijima Mitsuru could put the blame on him.

He was well aware of the struggle between the navy and the army, this time it was an army-led landing battle, and the navy was only cooperating, although every time the army and navy fought together, a series of agreements had to be signed (this was a strange phenomenon between the Japanese army and navy in World War II, and the disagreement between them could be seen).

But once the battle is lost, when it comes to liquidation, you always have to seize the opponent's handle first, and Yoshikawa doesn't want to be caught by Ushijima Man.

Knock Knock......

The Japanese guns and the large-caliber guns of the gunboats opened fire fiercely at the Tomb Hill position where the battle was being fought, and the violent explosion shook the mountain.

The Japanese planes came again, and in the round of attacks just now, they found that the enemy below did not seem to have any anti-aircraft weapons, so this time they were relieved and bold to fly over the Tomb Mountain again.

Since the destroyers and gunboats in the river bombarded the positions below, they had no worries, and they could only go back after laying the "eggs" anyway.

Then just finish laying the "eggs" and then talk about it.

Japanese planes were seen dropping bombs down. Ushijima felt black in front of him. He thought the guys had flown away. I didn't expect them to fly around and come back again.

Coincidentally, it happened to appear at this time.

These bombs all fell on the Grave Hill position, but at least half of them fell on their own people.

Now it's okay, the squadron on the grave hill has been blown up, and there is not much ↖↖ Japanese left in their own squadron.

Ushijima was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, with such a pig teammate, it was really difficult to win a big battle!

After laying the "eggs," a mixed group of 12 bombers and fighters of a Japanese army flew over the gunboat on which Ushijima was riding. The height was also deliberately lowered.

The Japanese pilot in the cockpit also made a "kiss goodbye" gesture and walked away.

This made Ushijima vomit blood in a fit of rage.

Saturated artillery bombardment and Japanese aircraft bombing and strafing, the entire Tomb Mountain was silent, scattered dry bones, stumps and broken arms, burning coffins, and there was no sign of life at all.

"Xiao Liu, the sea, Guo Zi......" Battalion Commander Shi Guigui was buried in a coffin. Dodge until he pushes the coffin open. When he crawled out, he froze.

There was not a single living person in sight.

"Battalion Commander......" A faint voice came, Shi Guigui was overjoyed, a familiar voice, he looked for the sound, and saw an arm exposed outside the dirt, his fingers moving, and the sound came from below.

"Knife, knife......" Shi Guigui was excited, knelt on the ground, kept picking up the soil with both hands, and soon a soldier buried under the soil dug it out.

"Knife, how are you?"

"Battalion commander, I don't feel anything in my legs." The knife turned over, spitting blood in his mouth, and Shi Guigui looked at it, and the knife's left leg was gone, and the big one was left. A cut at the base of the leg.

"Medic, Medic ......"

As soon as the sound ......of the cannon stopped, the medics and stretcher teams rushed up, and at this time, it was necessary to race against time to save people.

It was so tragic that the young female medic went to the position, her legs were weak with fright, and she didn't dare to go forward, and even the male compatriots on the stretcher team couldn't help but vomit.

The casualties were so great that one after another soldiers were dug out of the dirt, some still breathing, and some were no longer breathing.

Of course, the Japanese army was no better, and the Japanese army in one squadron plus the Japanese marines were almost completely wiped out, and the casualty ratio was almost one to one.

Luo Yufeng was furious and ordered the artillery to open fire!

Although the artillery of the artillery battalion was not as powerful as the Japanese, it was still more than enough to deal with the Japanese landing infantry.

The shelling lasted only three minutes, and the Japanese troops on the shore were beaten back to the water, losing a large number of personnel, weapons and supplies.

But in this way, the position of the artillery battalion was also exposed, and the Japanese warships and gunboats quickly aimed and counterattacked, and the position of the artillery battalion turned into a sea of fire in an instant.

"Has the artillery battalion been withdrawn?"

"Withdraw most of it, fortunately we have practiced in peacetime, otherwise this round of artillery fire will come down, and the artillery battalion will be finished." A staff officer said with palpitations.

The Japanese artillery fire covered not only the positions of the artillery battalion, but an area within a radius of two kilometers near the artillery battalion, and if there was no preparation, it would not have been possible to withdraw at all.

"Good, good." Luo Yufeng touched his forehead, all sweaty, he was nervous just now, if this artillery battalion is gone, this battle will not be easy to fight.

The little devils have warships, as well as gunboats, and in terms of weapons, the new 38 brigade suffers.

As long as the artillery battalion can be withdrawn, then there is still the strength to fight.

"Brigade seat, news came from Pukou that Pukou was bombed by 36 Japanese enemy planes, and was almost razed to the ground, with heavy losses." A communications staff officer nervously reported.

"Are the divisions and divisions alright?" Luo Yufeng was taken aback.

"The division is fine, the air defense battalion also shot down three enemy planes and damaged two, but the air defense battalion also suffered heavy losses, and more than half of its weapons were damaged." Staff officer.

"****, if we also have a plane, it will make the little devil go on the wrong foot!" Luo Yufeng scolded.

"Brigade, the losses are roughly counted?"

"How many casualties did the second battalion have?" Luo Yufeng asked.

"The second battalion suffered more than two-thirds of the casualties, and there are less than 100 people who can still fight."

Luo Yufeng trembled in distress, the second battalion was the main battalion. The weapons of the main battalion were all arranged according to the old teaching corps. This one battalion pulled out at least half a regiment of ordinary troops. Or even a regiment.

The second battalion suffered some battle damage at Yuxikou, and there may be at least 500 soldiers in the battle, but now two-thirds of the casualties have been lost, which means that only 150 or 60 people survived.

Together with the original wounded soldiers, the second battalion suffered more than 70 percent casualties and was disabled.

"Remove the second battalion and replace it with the third battalion!" Luo Yufeng's eyes were red for two hours. It was more than the loss he lost in three days at Yuxikou.

"Yes!"

"By the way, what about precious?" Only then did Luo Yufeng remember that the second battalion commander Shi Guigui couldn't be killed, otherwise, even if the second battalion was rebuilt, it would not be possible to find a suitable person to take it.

"Battalion Commander Shi is fine, he was slightly injured."

"That's good, that's good." Hearing that Shi Guigui was fine, Luo Yufeng's heart fell.

Ushijima is not a man willing to throw in the towel, and three defeats don't discourage him. Since this landing site is not easy to take, choose another landing site.

Pukou Wharf. The bombing over there is an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and if Ushijima doesn't seize this opportunity, he won't be called a "master tactician".

A Japanese army moved in full force, and the destroyer "Shanfeng" also followed, landing directly from Pukou, no matter which landing point broke through, it could deal a fatal blow to the Chinese army.

Or maybe it's both.

Ushijima did not give up on the Tomb Hill landing site, and continued to command the troops to carry out the fourth landing operation, which was more smooth than the previous three.

It was easy for the Japanese to set up a forward position, and soldiers and equipment were constantly being transported ashore!

This time, when the Japanese army was charging, mortars and infantry guns were set up on the shore to suppress the artillery fire of the Shanjiang defense works in advance, and then the infantry cautiously rushed up.

This time, they could no longer let the Japanese army be fooled, they were very cautious, did not give the third battalion any chance, and could only rely on the original river fortifications to block the enemy.

The truly tragic offensive and defensive battle began.

The fierce battle lasted until ten o'clock in the morning, and the Japanese army charged several times, several times rushing to the position of the third battalion, and finally was greatly retreated, and at least 500 Japanese corpses were left on this grave mountain.

This mountain of graves has really become a mountain of bloody corpses.

"The little devil's heavy artillery is too powerful, and we don't have weapons in our hands that can deal with it, so it's a big loss." The staff officers of the new 28th Brigade all had gloomy faces.

"The casualties are too great, more than 500 people in the three battalions, and now there are less than 300 people left, and more than a third of them are killed......"

"I haven't eaten one by one, I'm scared, I'm sorry?" Luo Yufeng was very unhappy, and he was frightened like this after only a few rounds of shelling, and when he was in Nanjing, the shells never stopped from night to night.

"Brigade seat, our river defense fortifications are too poor, they can't stop the Japanese artillery shells at all, and they will step on it as soon as they explode, what kind of tofu scum project is this?" A staff officer personally experienced that the Japanese were blown up with a single shell of a good reinforced concrete fortification, and at first glance, there were no steel bars inside, only iron wires thinner than bamboo sticks.

"Then what do you say, let's stop fighting this battle?" Luo Yufeng's voice was full of emotion.

"No, brigade, let's fight the Japanese like this, the casualties are too great, why don't we put the Japanese army up like we did at Yuxikou, and look for an opportunity to annihilate them?"

"No, Pukou is different from Yuxikou, there are hundreds of thousands of people behind us, and there is no battlefield for us to move here."

"Can't let a devil go ashore, this is the order of the division, you listen to me, fight this battle, everyone has a reward, sacrifice, there is a pension, wife and children, parents and brothers, the first division of honor will never let them starve, crippled, the same, if they can survive, the future is great, you know that I Luo Yufeng, on the battlefield, if anyone dares to take a step back, don't blame me for not recognizing people with this gun!" Luo Yufeng opened the holster, pulled out his matching gun and slapped it on the table!

Everyone was frightened by Luo Yufeng's expression, the needles in the headquarters could be heard, no one dared to speak, only the continuous explosion sound outside, and the gunpowder smoke that filled the sky.

"Brigade seat, a Japanese army has secretly moved along the riverbank to bypass our left flank, and their target is our headquarters!" A startling news came.

"Cao Xingyang!"

"Here!"

"This Japanese army has been handed over to your reconnaissance battalion, can you eat it for me?" Luo Yufeng's eyes were murderous.

"Yes!" Cao Xingyang roared.

"Go ahead!" (To be continued.) )
