Yoshio Hongo mobilized a large number of artillery to participate in the battle, and Du Kaishan was not inferior. The artillery transferred by Du Kaishan to the backer also returned a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, and launched a counterattack on the Japanese troops who were desperately charging and the artillery groups in their depth. From a single cannon to a barrage of fire.

From rockets, high-explosive grenades to incendiary bombs, from 75-millimeter mountain artillery, to large-caliber howitzers, cannons, and mortars of various calibers. Artillery shells of various calibers on both sides covered the entire north of Lujiatun and both sides of the Chai River on the line of Lijiagou in the south, under the dense shells.

The shells fired by the two sides, because they were too dense, collided head-on in the air more than once, and burst out with a gorgeous flower of death. This time, Yoshio Hongo can be said to have moved his old book, and all the artillery that he could take out was taken out.

On the ground, the troops of the Anti-Japanese Union and the 107th Division of the Japanese Army were desperately rushing and killing, and all kinds of light and heavy firepower turned the opponent's position into a sea of fire.

In order to open a retreat channel for the 44th Army, the 107th Division, under the command of Lieutenant General Koichi Anbe, the commander of its division, can be said to have exhausted all its efforts. Regardless of the narrow terrain of the mountainous operations, more than a dozen skirmish lines were discharged in one go. It was a pig assault tactic under the cover of firepower, concentrating troops to attack the positions of the Anti-United Nations in turn.

Under the cover of aviation and artillery, the troops of the two regiments of the Anti-Japanese Union, which were holding the front line of Lujiatun, Gushantun, and Lijiagou, stubbornly held their positions, and at the same time constantly launched a counter-charge against the 107th Division on the flanks with one force. The air force also constantly dispatched fighter planes and attack aircraft groups to bomb and strafe the Japanese troops in several ravines to cover the ground troops.

Although the three wings of the 107th Division were repeatedly killed regardless of the casualty figures and the dense firepower of the Anti-Japanese Union. However, after several hours of fierce fighting, the three wings participating in the battle had reached one-third, but they had not yet been able to break through the defense system of the anti-union from Lujiatun to Lijiagou. On the contrary, it was his own flank, which was quite difficult to sustain in the face of the increasingly fierce offensive of the Anti-United Nations.

The anti-coalition attack aircraft group that participated in the battle used napalm and ignited a raging fire in several ravines behind the 107th Division, cutting off the connection between the 107th Division and the follow-up Japanese troops. At the same time, white phosphorus shells were used exclusively to deal with the Japanese artillery participating in the war. It brought considerable threat to the Japanese artillery in the war.

Despite the orders of Lieutenant General Yoshio Hongo, the artillery drawn from the various divisions and independent mixed brigades on the front, as well as all the artillery directly under the 44th Army, continued to open fire with all their might to cover the attack of the 107th Division. Within half an hour of the start of the Japanese breakout battle, tens of thousands of shells were fired from the artillery they put in.

However, after a large number of anti-coalition air forces participated in the battle, in order to cope with the fire attack of the air force, the fire support of the Japanese artillery immediately began to decline. Although the Japanese artillery was not afraid of death, regardless of the counterattack artillery fire of the Anti-Japanese Union and the continuous attacks of the air force, they insisted on opening fire to cover the 107th Division.

But the Japanese artillery is not iron-clad after all, except for the Japanese artillery around the mountain, in order to support the breakthrough operation to the greatest extent, the rest of the artillery is pulled out of the fortifications. Without the cover of fortifications, these artillery and artillery could not withstand the bombardment of an aerial bomb.

In particular, the air force of the Anti-Japanese Union also used a large number of white phosphorus bombs when cooperating with ground artillery to suppress the Japanese artillery participating in the war. This new type of aerial bomb has brought a psychological shadow to the Japanese army, and it is even higher than the actual combat effect. Not only the lower-level Japanese officers and soldiers, but even Yoshio Hongo scolded after seeing the effect of the white phosphorus bomb that this weapon was not a man-made thing.

It's just that this Hongo Yoshio completely forgot that when they attacked China, they used a lot of poison gas bombs against Chinese troops and even unarmed peaceful residents. A large number of bacteriological weapons were developed and Chinese were used for live experiments. In the hope that one day, these bacteriological weapons can be used to help them slaughter those Chinese who do not give in.

The current Lieutenant General Yoshio Hongo strongly condemns the use of white phosphorus bombs equipped with radio proximity fuses by the Anti-Japanese Resistance Union, which are much more humane than their chemical weapons and bacteriological weapons. It's really the crow that fell on the pig, and I only saw that others were black, and I couldn't see what my own black had become.

After throwing in a large number of white phosphorus bombs, the firepower of the Japanese support artillery immediately decreased. The artillery was not very good, and the artillery casualties were too heavy. Not to mention the artillerymen who were dragged out from other directions and reversed directions. Even the artillery of the original Japanese army, which was hidden in the semi-underground fortifications on the front line of the mountain, also suffered heavy losses under this aerial bomb.

At the same time, with the participation of a large number of air forces, Hongo Yoshio's breakthrough operation became more and more difficult. The napalm dropped by the anti-United Nations air force set the entire ravine on fire, so that Yoshio Hongo's reserve team could be said to have nowhere to hide. In addition to the large number of high-explosive and high-explosive shells, as well as the overwhelming barrage of guns and rockets from the planes that swooped down.

The number of casualties in Yoshio Hongo's breakout operation is doubling almost every hour. But despite the increasing pressure behind him, Hongo Yoshio, who was obviously unwilling to give up, sent out all the last mobile forces at hand to strengthen the offensive.

And with a part of the force, it took a detour to the southeast, through Nangou and Guta Temple, trying to bypass the blocking line of the frontal anti-alliance. Detour behind the blocking force to open a passage through which the whole army can break out. It's a pity that he is cunning, and his opponent in person, Du Kaishan, can be described as treacherous.

As soon as his roundabout troops rushed through the Taiping Village, they were stopped by a reinforced battalion of the Anti-Japanese Union. The two armies fought each other in the narrow mountains, and the east of Taipingzhai became a new battlefield. In other directions, the attacking forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army's mobilization and breakthrough, were also constantly attacking.

In a ravine southwest of Majiazhai, Lin Qun, commander of the 11th Battalion of the 3rd Armored Brigade, was smoking a cigarette. Looking at the hill in front of him, he turned around and asked the correspondent around him a little impatiently, did these guys find a guide? The little devil's position is like a fire hedgehog, if he rushes straight over, he and his brothers will have to confess to it.

The mountains in this area are not high, compared to the mountainous areas that are interspersed in the mountainous area of eastern Liaodong. The mountains here are hilly at best, but the fortifications built by the little devils are too dense. All the commanding heights in the entire mountainous area of Majiazhai were controlled by the Japanese army. All its ravines are under the control of Japanese artillery fire around Majiazhai.

In fact, Lin Qungao believed that although the altitude was not high, the undulating terrain and even the lack of sufficient width of the dirt road were not suitable for his tank operation. Although the enemy army abandoned some small hills with low hills, they concentrated their forces mainly on the commanding heights. But it is precisely this commanding height, which is difficult for him to seize in a short period of time.

You can get in and out quickly, but when the infantry can't keep up, the tank can only find its own death if you go deep alone. In front of such a dense group of mountain fortifications, there are not enough infantry, and their tanks are exposed to enemy fire on all sides.

The infantry could not quickly keep up with the actions of their own tanks. If the infantry is carried by tanks, the infantry can only be beaten passively in the face of enemy crossfire, and there is no way to fight back. How to fight this battle and whether the infantry can keep up with the movement of the tanks is the key question.

But when the superiors ordered their tank battalion to cooperate with the infantry to seize the basswood ridge in the southwest, they played a trick. Only use the tank to advance quickly, and then exit after rapid fire. Or rotate the turret 90 degrees, only the tank turret is equipped with a machine gun, and quickly drive in and reverse the method.

Although the Japanese army at Basswood Ridge was finally defeated, it was severely criticized by the superiors because of the heavy casualties caused by the infantry and the delay in the completion of the battle plan. Although I was very unimpressed with this style of play this time, I couldn't do it if I didn't execute it.

But Lin Qungao, who obviously didn't want to fight to the death directly, decided to have a small-scale tank interspersed battle after taking a closer look at the terrain. Bypassing Majiazhai to face the fortifications of Jinjiazhai, Maze, and Huashan in his own direction, the enemy in front of him, and pulled him out from the flank.

But he still has to figure out how to make a detour, and several commanding heights around Majiazhai are controlled by the enemy. The depth of their positions was under the observation of the Japanese army. If you can't find a good solution, I'm afraid that as soon as the operation begins, it will all be exposed. So when he arrived, his first thought was to send someone to find a guide.

It's just a platoon of the reconnaissance company directly under the brigade that cooperated with their actions, and it has been more than two hours since he went out and hasn't come back, which undoubtedly makes him very anxious. Whether you can find someone who is familiar with the surrounding geographical environment is also directly related to whether you can succeed in this roundabout.

The people around these people naturally don't know what kind of contour line or other map markers are. But where the mountain communicates here, the trend of the small river can just make up for the lack of the map in his hand. Ground head snakes, who have they are familiar with the terrain of this area?

Looking at Lin Qun, who was a little impatient, the instructor on the side said with a smile: "Old Lin, don't worry. This area is mountainous and has a small population. Coupled with the fact that this is now a war zone, I'm afraid there are even fewer people who can be found. The reconnaissance platoon took into account that it had run a little far, so the speed was a little slower. ”

"It's still too late, I think you're still patiently waiting for a while. It also allowed the troops to take a good rest, these days they have been continuously interspersed and fought, and the troops are also quite tired. The infantry fighting with us are also very tired, so you have to let your brothers sharpen up, drink some water, and replenish their strength. ”

For his instructor's persuasion, Lin Qungao shook his head. After telling the troops to be well disguised, he snuffed out the cigarette butts in his hands. Walked to a hill on the edge of the ravine, raised the binoculars and carefully looked at the looming Majiazhai in the mountains not far away.

and the Japanese fortifications around Majiazhai that are fighting fiercely with the attacking infantry. The impatience in my heart is getting stronger and stronger. Although the brigade commander did not say much on the radio after learning of his plan. But he also told him that no matter what he thought, he had to complete the interspersed tasks at the appointed time.

If it is not possible to open the gap within the specified time, cooperate with the infantry to open the gap. He, the brigade commander, is going to court martial, but before that he can kill the troublemaker. Lin Qungao knew that the brigade commander was acquiescing to his actions and sharing the risk for himself.

But he also knew that if he couldn't show up in Majiazhai in time, the brigade commander would really have to eat the pot for himself. For fear of letting his old chief bear the blame for his actions, this is the reason why he is really anxious. Gritting his teeth, Lin Qungao had already made up his mind that if he couldn't find a guide in half an hour, he would follow the original plan and go to the fire net array.
