The momentum of smashing into Yu Mountain is like a broken bamboo

The supreme command of the Kwantung Army, the main peak of Yushan, the battle of the entire battlefield, although all of them were displayed in front of the command. However, for the Kwantung Army, which had 200,000 troops, the regimental-scale battle that took place on the position of the 63rd Division could be called small and small, and it did not attract the attention of Lieutenant General Taniguchi and others at all. It was not until an urgent telegram from Lieutenant General Ikeda, commander of the 63rd Division, appeared in the hands of Lieutenant General Taniguchi that he, as commander, knew that before he knew it, there was a regiment of Chinese troops that had broken through into his hinterland.

"Masuda-kun, what do you think of the Chinese army of this regiment...."After reading this very important 'urgent' telegram in the eyes of Lieutenant General Ikeda, Lieutenant General Taniguchi's face did not show any anxiety or worry, and he asked calmly to the chief of staff in front of him.

After reading the contents of the telegram, Masuda Daisa, as the chief of staff, also did not understand why Lieutenant General Ikeda, who was known as a veteran division regiment, would attach so much importance to a regiment of Chinese troops. Facing Lieutenant General Taniguchi's rhetorical question, he also replied with a relaxed face.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I humbly think that for a regiment of Chinese troops, even if they have broken through into the hinterland of our army, we don't have to worry too much..."

"Tell me your reason...."Lieutenant General Taniguchi nodded noncommittally and asked in a tone of examination.

"Hayi..."

"I would like to appeal to the humble words, this Chinese army, which is deep in the hinterland of our army, after all, has only one regiment of troops, even if they break through the defense line of the 63rd Division. However, directly in front of him, there was the strength of a division of our army. More importantly, our reserves, that is, the 39th Division of the headquarters, can be ordered to set off at any time to cooperate with the 179th Division of the second line of defense to encircle, suppress and completely annihilate this Chinese army..."Masuda Daisa said with a confident face.

"Yo Xi, what you said is very correct, facing the siege of my two main armies, totaling two main divisions. No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of this Chinese army is, it will not be able to escape the annihilation of the whole army...."Lieutenant General Taniguchi nodded approvingly.

Immediately, facing Masuda Daisa in front of him, he ordered very decisively.

"Masuda-kun, immediately in the name of the headquarters, give an order to the headquarters of the 179th Division: A regiment of Chinese troops is rapidly advancing towards your attack. The headquarters asks your department to concentrate your forces in the shortest possible time and annihilate them all...."

However, at this moment, Lieutenant General Taniguchi clearly underestimated the ability of his opponent. Li Shengda's regiment, which went deep into the hinterland of the battlefield, was not a simple infantry regiment at all, but a modern infantry regiment with unlimited artillery fire and air force support at any time.

Before his order reached the headquarters, a rush of footsteps reached his ears. Immediately after that, the anxious figure of the communications staff officer of the headquarters appeared in front of everyone.

"Your Excellency Commander, the 179th Division is in an emergency, and the troops have been hit hard by the Chinese artillery and air force and have suffered heavy losses ...."

In addition, the division commander himself called to report that the artillery shells and aerial bombs of the Chinese army were like eyes. In less than five minutes, an infantry wing holding on to the east of the main peak of Yushan Mountain, with at least two brigades, was lost in this sudden fire attack. At the moment, there is a huge defensive hole in the entire defensive line..."

"Nani, the troops deployed by the 179th Division to the east have suffered heavy losses, and there are huge defensive holes in the defensive line. The cunning Chinese army must be planning to open the way with artillery fire and send this regiment of Chinese troops to our headquarters...."Lieutenant General Taniguchi's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Bastard, what are you still doing in a daze, immediately send a telegram to the 179th Division. The 179th Division was asked to immediately send troops to plug the gap. It is necessary to block the Chinese troops of this regiment and wipe them out on the defensive line ..."..., although the order of Lieutenant General Taniguchi reached the headquarters of the 179th Division at the first time. However, not only himself, but even the entire 179th Division, underestimated the assault capability and firepower intensity of Li Shengda's regiment ....

In the face of the firepower density of Li Shengda's regiment, which can almost be called a pervert, the elite 63rd Division is not its opponent, not to mention the 179th Division, which accounts for a large proportion of recruits.

A dense stream of artillery shells and aerial bombs fell, and an infantry wing blocking in front of Li Shengda's regiment already suffered heavy casualties and low morale. After being hit by the perverted firepower of Li Shengda's regiment, the morale of the entire wing fell to the bottom in an instant, and it almost lost the courage to continue to resist.

"Order, the second battalion immediately attacked, crushing the current Japanese army. Cover the main force of the regiment and rush through the Japanese defense line..."Looking at the Japanese position in front of him where bullets were raining down, the regiment commander Li Shengda ordered with a confident face.

"Tick-tock...", a loud trumpet sounded on the battlefield. The entire 2nd Battalion, like a tiger descending from the mountain, launched a charge while firing a dense barrage of bullets at the Japanese positions....

"Baga, the Chinese army has begun to attack, counterattack, counterattack immediately..." In the face of the swarming Chinese army, the surviving Japanese commanders on the battlefield raised their command knives one after another and urged their subordinates to counterattack.

However, it is a pity to face the rain of bullets. A little devil has just poked his head out. Accurate bullets were fired into their brains without mercy.

"Ahh The firepower of the Chinese army is too fierce ... Squadron leader, the enemy's fire is too heavy for us to shoot at all ....", accompanied by a series of screams sounded over the position. The remaining Japanese troops, even in the face of the threat of the commander's commanding knife, refused to poke their heads out. Just raise the rifle in your hand and shoot blindly.

As a result, such a ridiculous scene appeared on the battlefield. In the face of the attack of the second battalion, although the gunfire on the Japanese position was very dense, the dense bullets without any accuracy did not cause any damage to the charging second battalion at all. Hundreds of soldiers of the entire second battalion, as if invulnerable, continued to attack in the face of the dense rain of bullets fired by the Japanese army...

"Grenade....boom boom boom ......"

The Japanese position, which was close at hand, was once again shrouded in smoke from the explosion of the grenade. The commander of the second battalion ordered very decisively.

"Fourth Company, destroy the remnants of the Japanese army. The 5th Company attacked 200 meters to the left flank of the Japanese position and expanded the breakthrough. Six companies, attacking two hundred meters to the right flank of the position ... Correspondent, immediately contact the regiment commander, the breakthrough has been opened, please ask the main force of the regiment to launch an attack immediately, follow the offensive line of our department, and break through the Japanese defense line ..."

The main peak of Yushan is in the high headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

The commander, Lieutenant General Taniguchi, looked confident, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and waited for the 179th Division's good news. The communications staff officer rushed in breathlessly.

"Commander, there was a breakthrough, the defense line of the 179th Division was broken through by the enemy ..."

"Nani, how is that possible?" Hearing this unexpected news, Lieutenant General Taniguchi sat in his place with a stunned face as if he had been suddenly struck by lightning, without saying a word....

"What the hell is going on, the enemy has only one regiment of troops, while we have a division, and even in the way of the Chinese army, there is an infantry wing. An infantry wing can't even stop an infantry regiment of the enemy, what is his 179th Division doing to eat...."The chief of staff next to him, Masuda Daisa, asked rhetorically.

"Report to the commander, the caller from the 179th Division shows that the troops have already suffered heavy losses after repeated blows from enemy bombers and artillery fire. At the same time, the offensive firepower of the Chinese army is beyond our imagination. An infantry wing, under the combined attack of enemy infantry, artillery fire, and aircraft, was completely lost in less than half an hour...", the communications staff officer carefully reported. …,

"Your Excellency Commander, look..."After understanding the reason for the incident, he asked Lieutenant General Taniguchi, who was already slowly reacting in front of him.

"Underestimate the enemy....Masuda-kun, we still underestimate the combat effectiveness of this infantry regiment of the Chinese army, and underestimate the combat effectiveness of their artillery and air force ... Operational staff officer, after breaking through the defense line of the 179th Division, how far is this Chinese army from our headquarters, and how many lines of defense are there that can be defended..."Lieutenant General Taniguchi asked in a deep voice.

In the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield appeared in front of him under the introduction of the operational staff officer. After learning that there was an entire infantry wing in front of the Chinese army, the nervous Lieutenant General Taniguchi couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Then, with a murderous expression, he ordered.

"Give an order to the 3rd Infantry Wing of the headquarters to prepare for the enemy... Tell Honda-kun that even if all the members die in battle, they must also block this Chinese army..."

Looking at the combat staff officer who was leaving quickly, his old partner Masuda Osa opened his mouth and reminded: "Your Excellency, commander, according to the combat effectiveness shown by the Chinese army, with only the strength of an infantry wing, isn't it..."

"Yo Xi, Masuda-kun is right. The strength of an infantry wing is indeed too small in the face of the overwhelming Chinese....order, the second and fourth infantry wings of the headquarters, each with two brigades, to set out immediately to reinforce the third infantry wing. The 1st Infantry Wing of the headquarters immediately transferred two brigades to reinforce the headquarters and act as a guard force. At the same time, order the headquarters to guard the brigade and prepare for the enemy..."Lieutenant General Taniguchi, who reacted, continued to order.

"Ha Yi....Your Excellency the Commander is wise..."

With the momentum of Li Shengda's group, it is getting closer and closer to the main peak of Yushan. The only reserve in the hands of Lieutenant General Taniguchi also began to move.
