Chapter 233: The Mystery Revealed Section 4 Chestnuts in the Fire
The mystery that has puzzled Shimizu Dazuo for so many days has finally been revealed, and Balu has not been fooled by him, gathering heavy troops to attack his three-dimensional defense line, it turns out that he is waiting for him to break through! The plan that I had painstakingly looked forward to to let the eight roads hit their heads and break the blood flow, evolved into the siege of Nandaozui!
This time it is different from the horse post, last time it was the people of the Eight Roads who were unwilling to confront you head-on, I hope you will leave the base by yourself, but you yourself are not willing to go, wait until the snow also falls, and the fingers of the hard work are also cut, and the materials are coming back, what about the Eight Roads? There are several more groups at once, but I don't want you to leave like this!
The place selected by Yang Bangzi is really good, as the name suggests, the terrain of this piece is like two sharp knives inserted into the river! Two large mountain beams were inserted diagonally, and the river channel was narrowed from more than a mile wide to dozens of meters at once, and the team sent by the first brigade to attack the stone dam built by the Eighth Road did not even touch the edge of the stone dam, and was beaten back!
Qing Shui hoped to throw this to the guard troops who were going to be used as bait by Balu, it seems that Balu was planning to eat the bait and come to bite his own family, and he didn't plan to let go of any of them, the adjutant chief and about 400 people were surrounded on a small earthen hill, it seemed that he couldn't break out, but he couldn't get any better!
The three brigades at the front of the entire wing were compressed in a "C" bend, less than two kilometers long from north to south, and less than one kilometer from east to west! The troops could not be deployed, and the river beaches and valleys were full of soldiers who were hiding from the eight-way artillery fire, and they had to be beaten with their heads down so much without the commanding heights!
Qing Shui calmed down, hid behind the guard of a mountain cannon, and looked around with a telescope for a while. He felt that he couldn't go to Longmen Mountain behind him. Exit to the canyon and join the adjutant general. If you want to stabilize the front, you must take a commanding height, so as to ensure the deployment of the wing's firepower!
This is the highest commanding height, and the foot of this mountain is the west side of the river, if you can take here, it is equivalent to being able to control half of the river, as long as it can be supported. As soon as the planes come to reinforce them, they can open a gap and protrude!
Qing Shui immediately ordered the 1st Brigade to defend on the spot in the C-shaped river channel on the north side to attract the firepower of the 8th Road, and the 3rd Brigade held the river beach facing the south near Longmen Mountain, and he personally commanded the 2nd Brigade to attack the mountains on the west side, and the Japanese artillery used mules and horses as cover, and finally set up a few cannons, and as soon as the shells were fired, the firepower covered by the 8th Road from the high ground on the west side was reduced a lot.
It was the three battalions of the 20th Regiment that attacked the devils in this rocky section at the foot of Gyro Mountain, and Yang Bangzi arranged the three battalions of the 20th Regiment into a zigzag. On the front of the defense was a battalion, and on the east side was a second battalion. On the west side were three battalions, the 17th Regiment was on the front line of Longmen Mountain, and the 18th Regiment was on standby in the northeast direction of Longmen Mountain.
Yang Bangzi didn't want to rush down as soon as the battle started, nearly 10,000 people on both sides of the enemy and us crowded together in such a narrow area, let alone fighting, if you squeeze me, I squeeze yours, it's messed up! Such a good terrain is not used to consume and consume the devil wasted! It's only the first day, so there's no hurry!
In the morning, he telegraphed the two small regiments that had moved north from the mouth of the river to the original 6th Division, the 26th and 27th regiments, and began to rush to Dushan Chengzi Village at the speed of a rapid march, and the 2,600 men of these two small regiments also had a special task, to carry the ammunition given by Yang Bangzi and Zhou Donggua when passing through the military camp town!
Is it still like saying that there is no ammunition reserve in the war? But the eight roads can't be compared with the devil, you see that the ammunition base of Shimizu Dazuo is four or five, and Yang Stick can't even guarantee a base now, and the reserves are all exhausted when he fights the Kuroda United, and the output of the repair station in the military camp town is too slow, otherwise why would Yang Stick have to wait so long to start fighting, no ammunition to fight a fart!
Yang Bangzi gave Fan Daring three days to block the attack, and the final attack time of the battle in his own heart was also three days, that is to say, he had to consume the devils under the mountain for two days, so that they could consume the ammunition to the basic exhaustion, and the personnel would be consumed at least one-third, and on the third day, the two small regiments of the new force army also arrived, and the ammunition supply had also arrived, so it was time to launch a general attack!
On the west side of the river is a large area of rocks connected together, and there is not even a little soil on the bare rock wall, and the soldiers of the third battalion are equivalent to fighting directly on the stone face, and the projectiles of the little devil's cannonballs and grenadiers hit them, and when they explode, they are surrounded by stone fragments and stone chips, and many soldiers are not injured by bullets and shrapnel, but are injured by this kind of exploding stone chips.
On the top of the mountain, Yang Bangzi saw the devils frantically bombarding the slope of the river on the west side with artillery fire, and a large group of devils rushed here, and arranged a messenger to go down to explain to the commander of the third battalion, there is no need to defend on the unfavorable terrain, and lead the devils up step by step.
As soon as the order was sent, the commander of the third battalion immediately understood, withdrew the two companies to both sides, and the other company left the river while blocking and covering each other, and went up to the halfway point of the Gyro Peak, where the rocks were lined with ravines and ridges, which were very suitable for defensive warfare.
Shimizu Daisa saw that the attack was successful on the river beach, and the defense of the eighth road of the river on the west side was broken, Xingtou came, and ordered the artillery fire to extend to the top peak to shoot, and the second infantry brigade immediately pressed up! Occupy this large sloping area!
As soon as the devil soldiers climbed the rock wall, they knew why the Eighth Road had retreated, and it was all a large stone surface on the calm side, and it was particularly hard, all of which were large blocks of granite, and when the shells exploded, they collapsed into gravel slag and stone flakes, which were more than the shell skin, and the speed was extremely fast and hurtful!
But since it came up, it was impossible not to attack it head-on, and at the same time, it was necessary to divide troops to the north along the river to expand the defensive surface, and don't think about it in the south, as soon as the big cliff slipped down was the mountain beam of Longmen Mountain, the devil soldiers showed their heads on the edge of the cliff, and the locust-like bullets flew over from Longmen Mountain!
Shimizu Dazuo didn't realize that this was another trap for him by the Eighth Road, and there was a small pocket outside the big pocket, so that he could send people inside, and he also gave the encouragement of the second brigade, so that they could take the top of the gyro peak, take advantage of the situation to capture the entire section of the west side of the river, and then break through the stone dam in the north.
He was still excited, in Longmen Village, five miles away, the adjutant had just been hit in the calf by a bullet fired from under the mountain beam in the east! This village is really not a place for people to stay, not to mention the gentle slope, the depth is not long, the distance from the river beach to the top of the mound is only more than 100 meters, the back is still a stone beam, the top is eight roads, two or three hundred meters away, the cold gun will be shot down from above!
If this fight continues, it won't be long before the remaining 400 or so people will have to be killed one by one! In the hand-to-hand combat on the river beach just now, the adjutant lost more than 100 people, and he estimated that there were no minor injuries in these more than 100 people, such a tragic hand-to-hand combat, those who were slightly injured had to move forward, and those who were not injured really couldn't move, and they wouldn't lie down.
He didn't guess this wrong, when the teaching brigade was besieging Longmen Village, it also cleaned up the battlefield on the river beach, less than 100 people survived in a detachment of more than 200 people, and they could still get together two platoons, except for a dozen or so seriously injured, all of them were sacrificed, and there was no gasping for breath in the corpses of the devils he saw, and none of them were captured or seriously injured and could be drummed back to life!
In fact, the devils in Longmen Village don't know, there are not many eight-way people who fight so hard with them, there are still half of Gao Yufeng's teaching brigade left, more than 300 are here, and the local villagers are all on the surrounding rivers and mountain beams, they can fight guerrilla warfare, but this offensive war can't be fought!
So Gao Yufeng saw that the strong attack was not good, the devil's firepower was too fierce, the small hill was not easy to defend, but he had to attack hard, and his hundreds of people were not enough to fill the devil's machine gun hole, so it was better to just block the devil like this, so that they couldn't figure out their own strength, and wait until after dark, come to the fire, send a small force to touch the past and directly hit the devil commander in the small mountain village, Gao Yufeng felt that as long as he took down the devil officer who he saw being escorted into the village, this guard force could be taken!
