Chapter 5: Attack

At 5 o'clock in the morning of April 25, Yusuke Ohira, the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Korea, was awakened in the dormitory of the Japanese headquarters in Seoul. "Report to the commander, I have received a report from the country that the new Supreme Commander of the coalition forces, Han Ruowei, arrived at the Busan pier this morning and is about to inspect the front line in North Korea." A little confused, Yusuke Ohira immediately came to his senses. He dressed up neatly and said, "Is there any news from the front?" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, last night there was news from the front that the Chinese army was still preparing and there seemed to be no sign of an offensive. The defending army is well prepared and always conducts defensive operations. The adjutant replied. Ohira Yusuke pondered for a moment and said, "I personally went to Busan to greet Marshal Han Ruowei, and the commander's visit to the front line was the greatest encouragement to us. You stay behind to assist the deputy commander-in-chief, keeping a close eye on the situation at the front. ”

At present, the Japanese army has concentrated 300,000 troops on the Sino-Korean border, and has built a deep and solid defense line in Dandong and Ji'an. However, due to the steep mountains of Zhongjiang and Huishan, the Japanese army only built fortifications along the mountain. The coalition advisory group believes that Zhongjiang and Huishan are close to the Gaima Plateau, and the natural terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is very steep, so if the Chinese army wants to launch an attack, it can only choose the direction of Ji'an and Dandong.

After repeated research, the General Staff Headquarters of the Coalition Forces also held that in the past, when attacking the Korean Peninsula, the attacking side basically chose the direction of Dandong and Ji'an, because this was a traditional and most convenient route. Therefore, the General Staff Headquarters of the Allied Forces warned the Supreme Commander of the Japanese Army in Korea, Yusuke Ohira, that the main direction of attack of the Chinese army must be Dandong and Ji'an. The judgment of the Japanese army was the same, they took into account Nakae. But I didn't expect Hui'an to have problems.

Half an hour after the Japanese commander was on the road, the Chinese army launched an artillery bombardment on the entire line at 6 o'clock in the morning. It was a sign that a large-scale offensive was beginning to be staged. The Eastern Front concentrated two light artillery divisions, a heavy artillery brigade, and heavy artillery fire enveloped the forward positions of the Japanese army. After the start of the shelling, the Japanese forward troops could not immediately inform the Japanese command in Seoul. But after all, the Japanese defenders were prepared, and they were not caught off guard.

The fierce artillery fire shook the mountains like a thunder tsunami. Dandong, Ji'an, Zhongjiang, north of the Yalu River. The soldiers got on the wooden boats, and after the artillery fire was extended, they launched a powerful feint. Even if it's a feint. It also needs to be realistic and presentable. The Japanese began to return fire, and the attacking force of the forced crossing was very disorganized, and then retreated in defeat, almost unable to break the army. Even quite a few soldiers fell into the river. Dog's breakfast.

The Japanese defense headquarters opposite Dandong, the Japanese commander saw this scene, and immediately said with full information: "The Yalu River is really an excellent natural danger, thanks to the protection of Amaterasu, the powerful Chinese army has been repulsed." Immediately reported to the Seoul command that the first offensive of the Chinese troops was repulsed. ”

The commander of the Japanese army, Yusuke Ohira, had not gone 100 miles before he learned that the Chinese army had launched a major attack. Shocked by the news, Ohira Yusuke was in the mood to go to Busan to pick up the car. He ordered one of his subordinates to go to Busan. He greeted Han Ruowei and informed him in detail of the news of the Chinese army's major attack. In this way, Ohira Yusuke quickly returned to Seoul. Naturally, he heard the good news. Dandong, Ji'an, and Zhongjiang all repelled the attack of the Chinese army, but Huizhou, which reassured him the most, came with bad news.

The fierce artillery fire bombarded and exploded for half an hour, and in the bunker of the regimental headquarters of the first regiment, the regiment commander Zhang Dashan shouted loudly: "After the artillery fire is extended, all units can attack!" "The 1st Regiment undertook the task of attacking Lao Songshan. There are a total of 12 large and small hills in Laosongshan, and they are required to take the Japanese position in Laosongshan in 7 days. The Laosongshan position was the core position of the frontal defense of the Japanese army in Huishan, and the terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Fortunately, the Japanese army did not build strong fortifications because of the dangerous terrain, and the fierce artillery bombardment was deafening, like a landslide and a crack. The attacking troops entered Zuihou to prepare, waiting for the clarion call to charge.

In Dandong, Ji'an, and Zhongjiang, the attacking troops attacked by force in wooden boats, and defeat was inevitable. The feint attack should also be realistic, this is the combat order issued by the headquarters. After all, the defending Japanese troops had been carefully prepared, and their weapons and equipment had been greatly improved with the full support of the foreigners. In particular, the construction of a strong fortress made the Japanese army's defensive confidence unprecedentedly high.

Since it was a feint, it should have ended, and under the fierce counterattack of the Japanese army, the Ji'an and Qiangdu troops quickly retreated in embarrassment. The commander of the Japanese army on the front line, seeing that the Chinese army was attacking without success and being beaten, danced with joy.

The Japanese army did not expect that the Chinese army would be able to launch a fierce offensive from Huishan. Because the Japanese army concentrated most of the defense of Liliang on the Dandong, Ji'an, and Zhongjiang lines, the Japanese army only deployed 50,000 horses on the Huishan line, while the Japanese army deployed 5,000 people in the core fortifications of Laosongshan opposite Huishan, and the troops were relatively concentrated, which increased the difficulty of the Laosongshan attack.

After the trumpet sounded, the company commander Zhuang Lei issued an order to charge, and the whole company launched an attack on the 305 heights. The soldiers formed a skirmish line and quickly advanced forward. The shells of the Japanese artillery positions began to explode, and large clouds of smoke rose as the soldiers charged. Some of the soldiers lay down, some continued to advance. Company commander Zhuang Lei ran forward while waving his pistol and shouted: "Don't stop, you must quickly jump over the artillery blockade area." Seeing this, the lying soldier immediately jumped up and ran forward.

The artillery fire of this kung fu counterattack began to roar, and the 76-mm cannon fired a salvo, and the Japanese artillery fire was sparse. Guan Biao, the squad leader, rushed to the front of the class, and he shouted as he ran: "Don't gather together, spread out." "Suddenly, a cannonball came from the sky, and it exploded not far from the stout man, and the stout man was thrown up by the air wave. After some time, the stout man woke up and found a pair of weak shoulders shaking in front of him.

The stout man was five big and three thick, and the female soldier who carried her was thin and staggered and walked with difficulty. The stout man found that it was a female soldier carrying him, and instinctively jumped off. Because of his excessive strength, he actually brought the female soldier to a big heel. The stout man found that he was not injured, and apparently he had just been stunned by the explosion. This stout man is nicknamed Iron Tower, at this time, he didn't care about thanking and said angrily: "This is a battlefield, girls shouldn't appear here, you go down immediately." ”

This kung fu heard the sound of Xiao in the sky, and the iron tower saw that things were not good, so he pounced on the female soldier. After the explosion. Dusty. The female soldier violently pushed away the tower and said angrily: "It turns out that you are pretending, stinky and shameless, and you still want to take advantage of me!" "You ???!" The tower was speechless, and quickly got up and rushed forward. The female soldier got up and patted the dust and said, "What if I'm a woman." Don't look down on people! Then the female soldier picked up the medical kit and ran forward.

In a machine-gun bunker, a Japanese heavy machine gun was firing wildly, and the whole class was suppressed. Guan Biao looked at the Japanese machine-gun position and shouted anxiously: "Blow it up!" "I saw a little soldier pick up two grenades and roll away. The little warrior jumped forward with agility, and suddenly the little warrior was shot and fell to the ground. The big man, nicknamed Giraffe, saw the little warrior fall to the ground. Grab two grenades and go out. Suddenly the little warrior rolled and then crawled forward. The Japanese machine gunner did not pay attention, thinking that he was dead.

Accompanied by the explosion of a grenade. The Japanese machine-gun positions were dumb. Guan Biao, the squad leader, picked up the little soldier with a pale face and said, "It's a little bit, it's good." "Squad leader, I'm not a bad seed!" "You're not a bastard, you're a warrior." "Look at the blood. He was shot in the crotch. The funny-looking man exclaimed. The funny-looking man is nicknamed Flower Face. "Squad leader, my inheritance thing is gone," Xiao Budian shouted.

Guan Biao opened it to check that he was shot in the thigh. While bandaging, he said: "It's a little bit, it's a bullet in the thigh, you're okay with that thing!" The crowd burst into laughter. Squad leader, do you think it's an iron tower? "It's the Tower!" Giraffe for sure. "Damn, this kid is so big, he didn't let him see Hades with a single shell. This boy will surely be blessed in the future. "Squad leader, I'm back in the team!" The tower ran over excitedly. The crowd gathered around him and asked him with concern.

"Squad leader. The platoon commander ordered us to attack and asked us to take the machine-gun position of the Japanese on the right. A soldier ran over and shouted. Guan Biao ordered Xiao Budian to be sent down, and then with a wave of his hand, he led the class to rush sideways. The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and there were hand-to-hand battles everywhere. The Japanese defenders were very tenacious, and even if the position was breached, they resisted stubbornly and refused to surrender. The Japanese army was tenacious, and the Chinese soldiers were even braver. At this point, all the fears have long been gone, and all that remains is life and death.

The fierce battle continued, counting the squad leader Guan Biao, Giraffe, Flower Face, and Iron Tower, there were only four people left in the class. Of the 10 fighters in the class, 3 were killed and 3 were wounded.

They jumped into a trench and pounced on a group of Japanese soldiers, Guan Biao's quick bayonet was red, and two stabs knocked down two Japanese soldiers. The iron tower was so powerful that a Japanese soldier burst his brain with the butt of a gun. Flower Face rolled with a Japanese soldier, and in a few rounds, Flower Face rode on the Japanese soldier, and stuck the Japanese soldier's neck with both hands.

The giraffe was forced into a corner by two Japanese soldiers, and the situation was extremely critical due to the cramped space and the fact that it could not be used. At that moment, the tower came up and kicked one of the Japanese soldiers to the ground, and the giraffe took advantage of the distraction of the other Japanese soldier to put a bayonet into the chest of the Japanese soldier. The rest of the Japanese troops were so frightened that they turned around and ran, and several people bravely pursued them.

The 8th Company had already captured the 305th Heights, but the Japanese troops who refused to surrender did not choose to flee, but resisted to the death. The fierce fighting lasted until the afternoon, and about 300 Japanese soldiers defending Heights 305 were killed.

At the end of the battle, the company commander Zhuang Lei was shot in the arm. At this time, his face was dirty, and his soldiers couldn't see clearly, so they all lay down in the trench to rest. Zhuang Lei asked the correspondent to help change the medicine and bandage the wound anew. At this time, the deputy company commander came over and said: "Company commander, the third platoon commander was killed, and the deputy platoon commander was wounded and sent down, do you look at the third platoon?" ”

Zhuang Lei groaned and said, "Look at the squad leaders in the third platoon, who can hold the position of platoon leader?" The deputy company commander said: "Guan Biao, the leader of the third squad, is competent, and almost all of them are recruits, but under his command, he killed three Japanese machine gun positions, blew up two forts, and took the lead in rushing into the Japanese trenches. "Immediately call the third squad leader, Guan Lei." After a while, Guan Lei, who also had a dirty face, was called.

"Company commander, what do you command?" Guan Biao's pitch-black face showed white teeth, which were distinct. "In the name of the Wehrmacht, I appoint you as the platoon commander of the third platoon." Before the campaign was launched, the National Defense Forces Headquarters clearly stipulated that officers below the battalion level in the line of fire could be promoted to junior officers by the officers at the higher level in the main line of fire. "Subordinate order," Guan Biao was overjoyed: "Company commander, our third squad leader?" "The third squad leader, appointed by you." Guan Biao returned to the third platoon, and the deputy company commander announced that he was the commander of the third platoon. Then Guan Biao appointed Tie Ta as the leader of the third shift.

PS: It is the flesh-and-blood soldiers who decide the victory, and the fearlessness of the soldiers is the magic weapon of victory.
