Ushijima looked at the Japanese soldiers who kept rolling down the mountain, anxiously turning, at this time the battle line had hit the halfway up the mountain from the Shanmen Canyon at the beginning, Ushijima gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let's go to the front line to command." ”

Immediately, an officer stopped him, "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the front-line battle is the business of the wing commander and the group leader, you should still command it at the bottom of the mountain." ”

Ushijima waved his command knife and shouted, "Do you think I haven't been a wing captain?" Will our Emperor's warriors just hide behind? If you have the guts, follow me. ”

"Huh? What is that? "A scout saw several officer-like men with katanas going up the hill under the cover of a small group of Japanese troops.

"Wow, it must be the devil's official, quick, go tell the master." The deputy next to him immediately shouted.

Chen Ruihe, who was commanding the battle on the front line, heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "I'll give you a mortar company, and I'll kill that devil official, as long as their commander dies, this devil's offensive will go down." ”

If the quality of any branch of the Nationalist Army is the highest, it is mortars, because there is no heavy artillery, and mountain artillery and field artillery are also extremely lacking, forcing the Nationalist Army to rely only on mortars, and there are not many shells, which forces the accuracy of mortars to be high. This is like the martial arts master, if the internal strength is insufficient, you can only practice the moves.

Ushijima felt that there would be no danger, so he didn't even lie down, he stood there straight, the commander of the artillery company rubbed his hands, closed one eye, and compared with his thumb.

"Little devil, don't look for grandpa when you're dead, come, put cannonballs on grandpa, adjust the gun position, three bursts of rapid fire, release!!"

Five, five mortar shells rushed out of the muzzle and flew towards Mitsuru Ushijima, who was watching the battle with a telescope.

After a puff of gunsmoke. Several Japanese soldiers ran to the artillery site crying, and the commander of the artillery company saw that he was willing to give up this opportunity, and hurriedly continued to fire artillery.

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander is broken, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander is broken!!" Several Japanese soldiers looked at the bombed and torn Ushijima and shouted in panic, and the soldiers of the Sixth Division, who were fighting to the death with the Nationalist Army, immediately panicked when they heard this. Even the rhythm of shooting and stabbing was thrown out of order.

When Chen Ruihe saw the Japanese army like this, he didn't know that this was really killing the Japanese army's senior officer. Immediately beckoned, "Quick, quick, kill!" Chase out all the devils for me. ”

Suddenly, the Nationalist Army cheered and charged back to the Japanese army, and the soldiers of the Nationalist Army rushed into the crowd of Japanese soldiers with explosives bags, and the piercing charge was like a cry from hell, constantly pulling the Japanese army into the boundless darkness-

Yamashita

Shiro Inaba was stunned as the group of Japanese soldiers supporting each other, and an officer with a bandage on his head walked towards him, holding a broken saber in his hand and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander." His Excellency Mitsuru Ushijima, the commander of our 36th Brigade, has been loyal to the emperor, and in addition, one of the commander of our brigade and one of the commander of the brigade was seriously injured. The three captains of the group shattered jade. The two captains were seriously injured, and our brigade really had no strength to fight again. ”

Shiro Inaba looked at the person in front of him, and he knew that this was the last captain of the 36th Brigade, which meant that the entire 36th Brigade was except for the person in front of him. None of the officers above the rank of captain were still healthy.

Shiro Inaba trembled and took the broken saber, and was about to speak, when he heard a voice of "Long live His Majesty the Emperor". A gunshot rang out, and the captain fell to the ground, blood and brains spilling all over the ground.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, do we want to ask for tactical guidance? Why don't you let the 10th Division send troops to help us? A staff officer next to him whispered.

Shiro Inaba glanced at him with annoyance and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" We only suffered seven or eight thousand casualties, and our army still has more than 20,000 and the strength to fight. What is it called tactical guidance? The 11th Brigade was ordered to be immediately thrown into battle, and the Engineer Wing was ordered to also enter the front line of battle, and we must not bury the prestige of the 6th Division under this small Fujin Mountain. If that doesn't work, let the cavalry dismount and fight, and tell them that the enemy is in Fujin Mountain - charge!! ”

"Huh, military seat, I think it's better to increase the troops, the 36th Division should leave some seeds." Zhong Bin looked at the already formless position and said.

Song Xilian nodded and said to him, "Now that the 36th Division has killed the red eye, it is difficult to withdraw, let the 88th Division and the 87th Division come up." Now the other two armies are fighting well on our north and south flanks, and the 10th Division is completely pinned, and now as long as we hold out for one more day, we will have reached the strategic goal of 10 days. ”

Half a day later, Sun Yuanliang and Liao Yaoxiang came to Fujin Mountain with the 88th and 87th Divisions, and Song Xilian greeted Sun Yuanliang and smiled, "Brother Yuanliang, congratulations, I heard that Chairman Jiang is ready to promote you to the new 29th Army as a commander." ”

Sun Yuanliang shook his hand and said, "Where did this news come from, but the military seat should congratulate Jianchu, but I heard that the latest tanks from the Soviet Union are preparing to set up a new division, called the 200 division, the position of the division commander has been scheduled to be Jianchu, this is a mechanized division, more valuable than the position of the army commander." ”

Liao Yaoxiang touched his head and said embarrassedly, "It's not decided yet, thanks to the care of the seniors and the commissioner, then again, this time it's the Sixth Division, and we didn't meet them less in Nanjing back then." ”

Song Xilian nodded and said, "The 36th Division has been fighting with them for nine days, and it is almost impossible to hold on, but the Japanese army must also think that we have reached the end of the strong crossbow, now you two are doing this, the 88th Division will go to the frontline position, and continue to defend the mountain with the 36th Division, I don't think the little devil will give up like this, the 87th Division is in reserve on the back of the mountain, my idea is that ten days is not enough, I heard that Huoshan has been defeated, and the devils will definitely attack the mall in two ways at that time, so we must hold on here for a few more days and completely cripple the devils along the way." , the mall is easy to play. ”

Sun Yuanliang nodded and said, "I think it's okay, then let's start acting immediately, the speed of the devil is not slow, and when it gets dark, we won't be able to hand over." ”

A group of Japanese troops entered the Yamamon position, a new Japanese unit that replaced the disabled 36th Brigade, and the commander was Tokutaro Shikai.

Tokutaro Shikai looked up at the majestic Mount Fujin, and said with a twist of his mind, "Do we still have any special bombs?" ”

The staff officer next to him immediately understood, nodded and said, "Yes, I brought more than a thousand of them." ”

Tokutaro Shikai pointed to the mountain and said, "Fight them all, I don't know what the 36th Brigade thinks." Isn't it the most important tactic to use special ammunition if this can't be defeated? ”

Liao Yaoxiang had just entered the command post and talked to Chen Ruihe for a few words, and learned that the 36th Division was now only 2,000 people, and was discussing with him how to deal with the devil's next attack.

Suddenly, dozens of shells fell on the position, but there was no explosion. Liao Yaoxiang and Chen Ruihe were both old men who had fought with the Japanese army, and when their minds turned, they suddenly knew that it was not good.

"Damn, it's a gas bomb." Liao Yaoxiang scolded as he looked at the green gas floating up.

"Quick, let everyone who has gas masks bring them, fortunately our troops still have some gas masks, plus we are fighting a defensive war. However, a lot of Japanese military gas masks were captured, and the front line should barely be enough. Chen Ruihe took out a gas mask and handed it to Liao Yaoxiang, Liao Yaoxiang shook his head and said, "Damn, this group of devils knows how to engage in these ghosts, but it's okay, we'll pretend to be dead and give him a ruthless blow." ”

In the green poisonous gas, countless yellow figures are moving rapidly, these yellow figures wear gas masks like pigs' noses, and the green woods and yellow-green poisonous gas make Fujin Mountain seem to have turned into a green ocean.

"Yo Xi. Isn't this going up, haha, the war still depends on our 11th Brigade. Tokutaro Shikai exclaimed happily.

A Japanese soldier stormed the trench, only to find it empty. Several Japanese soldiers who rushed in looked at each other, wondering why all the Shina people who should have fallen in the position and waited for them to come to harvest.

"Fried!" With a roar, the Japanese soldier only felt as if there was a giant dragon under his feet, and he flew into the sky in an instant.

"Original. That's what it feels like to fly, and those pilots are so nice. That was the soldier's last thought.

"Kill!" As if red flags were growing from the ground, countless soldiers wearing the same gas masks as the Japanese army suddenly appeared. Shooting frantically at the Japanese troops on the opposite side, machine guns and mortars sprayed at the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the position as if they didn't want money.

"Yaga, long live His Majesty the Emperor! Come on!! "Seeing that the front line was blocked, the Japanese army not only did not retreat, but their eyes turned red and they fought to the death.

"Damn, the bones of this Sixth Division are really hard to smash." Liao Yaoxiang couldn't help but be startled when he saw the constant sound of grenade explosions on the battlefield, this was the sound of the Japanese army or the national army pulling a bomb and detonating itself.

"Hey, if only we had a tank, this little devil can't bring any heavy weapons up the mountain, and if we have a tank as a bunker, we won't be afraid of the little devil." Liao Yaoxiang couldn't help but think about what kind of unit it would be waiting for his 200 division.

"Report to the divisional seat, the military seat ordered that it must be guarded for another three days and three nights before it can be withdrawn from Fujin Mountain." A communications soldier shouted loudly.

Liao Yaoxiang waved his hand indifferently and said, "Please rest assured, we will definitely complete the task." ”

After Liao Yaoxiang finished speaking, he said to the herald next to him, "Immediately order all the mortars to fire, and transfer after three shots, the little devil's artillery is very shrewd, we can't fight with them." ”

- Four days later

Only one piece of the top of the hill remained in the position of Fujin Mountain, and all other positions were captured by the Japanese army.

At the foot of Fujin Mountain, dense white cloth sheets covered the corpse, V looked at the body in front of him, sighed and asked, "How many people are there on the mountain now?" ”

A staff officer immediately replied, "Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there are about five or six thousand people on the mountain. ”

Tokutaro shook his head and said, "Tell Your Excellency the division commander to ask for the support of the aviation troops, and let the aviation troops blow up this mountain top a few times, otherwise there will be a lot of soldiers who will be broken." ”

Dozens of planes in three or five formed a group and continued to dive and shoot at the top of the hill to bomb, and the pilot at the head couldn't help but feel a little wrong when he looked at the hilltop where there was not even a single counterattack.

"Call the 11th Brigade, we are the 27th Flying Squadron, there is not a trace of counterattack on the hill, please go up the mountain immediately, we suspect that the national army has retreated."

When Tokutaro Shikai heard this, his eyes widened, and he immediately ordered the attack to begin, and when the Japanese army walked up the hill, all they saw was empty positions and mines that God knows when they could be cleared.

Tokutaro Shikai looked at the empty sky and the white sun flag that was still flying high, and looked at the endless corpses under the mountain, and a burst of singing suddenly came out of nowhere.

"Ah, brother, I weep for you,

You don't want to die!

You are the youngest brother of our family,

Your parents love you even more.

How did your parents teach you to hold the blade,

To go to the front in order to kill people?

Your parents raised you to be twenty-four years old,

Where is it for you to kill others first and then bury yourself?

Since it is a merchant family in Osaka

Proud hosts

You must pass on the lineage,

You don't want to die! ”

Tokutaro Shikai had a stirring in his mind and shouted, "Who is it?" Who's singing, don't sing, don't sing this song!! ”

He was replied to by countless tired eyes and the silence of the mountains and forests, only the crow's cry seemed to mock him boundlessly.

Minoru Higashi, the front-line commander of the Japanese Jiangbei Army, looked at the battle report in front of him and asked in disbelief, "In other words, the Sixth Division has completely lost the ability to continue fighting?" This small mountain of rich gold actually caused more than 15,000 casualties to the imperial army? ”

The staff officer on the opposite side nodded and replied, "The first personnel of the Sixth Division have basically been replaced, and this battle is so tragic that it is said that even the corpses were burned for a day. Among them, the 36th Brigade Regiment does not even have any available officers above the rank of a brigade commander, either the jade is broken, or the battle is killed, and there are less than 20 people left in an average squadron, which is really "

King Minoru Higashikuremiya shook his head and said, "First the 106th Division in the south, and now our Sixth Division, the Battle of Wuhan is much more difficult than I believe." After speaking, King Minoru Higashikurenomiya exhaled and ordered, "Order, the 6th Division will be repaired on the spot, the 10th Division will pursue the enemy, and the 4th Division will take the place of the 6th Division and attack the Mall, in addition, the 14th and 16th Divisions of Huoshan will also be ordered to join up with the other two divisions in the Mall, and then attack the Huangchuan-Xinyang line together, and finally, the 116th Division and the 26th and 27th Divisions will attack the Macheng line." ”

The staff officer immediately took note of it and went out to deliver the order.

"National Army, I want to see how many German armorers you have who can fight me." King Minoru of Higashikurenomiya dropped his pencil viciously and said with a gloomy smile.
