Chapter 338: Occupy Kyushu Island
The closest to the breach was Liu San, he was a little dizzy by the shock wave of the grenade, and shook his head vigorously, he felt a little sober, and Liu San, who had eased up, suddenly heard the sound of flowing water.
The embankment was destroyed, Liu San was excited, he didn't care to pick up the rifle beside him, and rushed to the embankment with an arrow. The rushing stream was flowing down the breach at the moment, and in a hurry, Liu San didn't care about his own safety, so he jumped into the stream and held the collapsed sandbag against him.
The stream was very turbulent, and the sandbags he had just lifted showed signs of collapsing, so he could only hold on to the embankment with one hand and fiddle with the other sandbags in the water with the other, slowly reinforcing the embankment. The Japanese soldiers seemed to see someone shaking here, and a row of bullets was fired here, but Liu San was unmoved, and still stepped up the construction of the embankment.
Suddenly, a bullet hit Liu San's body, he only felt a pain in his chest, and the strength of his whole body seemed to have been lost, but he still thought about his mission, which was to defend the embankment. Liu San, who was already weak, used his most powerful strength, barely leaned on the embankment, and blocked the breach with his body.
The stream gradually decreased, and finally blocked after the worst, and Liu San, who had lost too much blood, also fainted on the embankment. Seeing that the current was decreasing again, Ozawa wanted to lead his troops straight over, but the Wehrmacht brigade in the rear camp had already been reinforced, and the dense machine-gun fire suddenly suppressed Ozawa's brigade.
Yagyu Ichiro, who had been wandering beside the river, heard the gunshots on the mountain for the first time, and his heart was in a hurry, for fear that the commando team he sent would be wiped out, but after a while, finally a stream flowed down the mountain, although the amount of water was not large, but it was really fresh water.
The Japanese soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and buried their heads in the boiling water, enjoying the sweetness of the mountain spring, but soon the current of the water decreased again, and the last thing finally disappeared, and Yagyu Ichiro's heart tightened, and he knew that this operation might not be successful.
At this time, on the top of the mountain, a large group of Ozawa's Japanese soldiers was wiped out by the cliff. Liu San, who was already unconscious, was discovered by his companion Gao Bing, and under his beckoning, several comrades-in-arms carried Liu San back to the camp with all hands and feet, while a few hungry people began to repair the embankment and rearrange the sentries.
Liu San's condition was very bad, a bullet hit him in the chest, although he didn't hit the vital point, because of excessive blood loss, soaked in cold water for too long, and kept having a high fever and was unconscious.
The group responsible for intercepting the water source came in a hurry, and there were no good medical conditions, and at most they only bandaged the wound with hemostatic medicine for Liu San and injected another injection of penicillin. Several medical soldiers were busy taking care of Liu San who was in a coma, and at night Liu San's fever subsided, but he was still unconscious, and the bullet in his chest was not ready to be taken out.
If you want to take out the bullet, you must do surgery, such an operation can only be done in the field hospital of the military family, seeing that Liu San has been unconscious, his friend Gao Bing asked to carry Liu San down the mountain for treatment. The head of the regiment considered sending a few people to transport Liu San down the mountain with Gao Bing, because Liu San had a chest injury and could not be squeezed, several people cut down two small trees in total, made a simple stretcher, and several people took turns to carry Liu San to the bottom of the mountain.
Liu San successfully underwent surgery in the field hospital, and he also woke up under the careful care of the medical staff, after learning about Liu San's deeds, Gao Deyu was also very moved, and he immediately reported the matter to Fang Xiaoyu.
After receiving Gao Deyu's report, Fang Xiaoyu also sighed that over the years of education and construction have achieved sufficient results, and the Chinese people have become quite cohesive, so Fang Xiaoyu personally issued an order to promote Liu San to the rank of sergeant major, which is also the only sergeant major in the National Defense Force.
How Fang Xiaoyu rewarded this loyal and brave warrior is a later story, at this moment, Gao Deyu has decided to occupy Miyazaki Castle at all costs. Although Fang Xiaoyu was determined to win Kyushu Island, it did not mean that he did not care about the sacrifices of his soldiers, and when he learned that Gao Deyu's progress was slow due to the lack of heavy weapons, he ordered that there was no need to estimate the integrity of Miyazaki Castle, and that victory should come first.
With Fang Xiaoyu's holy decree, Gao Deyu also let go of his hands and feet, and a batch of mortars were transported to the top of the mountain after being disassembled. Standing on the top of the mountain, everything in Miyazaki Castle can be clearly observed. The artillerymen in place quickly assembled the mortar, patiently adjusted the ruler, and everything was ready.
"Open fire." With the commander's order, more than 130 mortars began to fire one after another, and dense shells rained down on Miyazaki Castle, burying the various points of the Japanese garrison in the smoke of the explosion. The walls of Miyazaki Castle were strong, but that didn't mean the buildings inside the castle were the same, with large numbers of wooden houses collapsing under mortar bombardment, and many people injured by flying pieces of wood.
Caught by surprise by the intense shelling, Ichiro Yanagi discovered a fatal hole in his defenses. If it is in the period of cold weapons, the defense of the city built on the mountain is more powerful. But in the era of hot weapons, such terrain was simply an excellent terrain for the enemy to set up artillery observation posts, and he was actually negligent and did not send heavy troops to protect the cliffs.
No matter how Yagyu Ichiro regretted it, he also understood that he was defeated, there was no water source, and he was occupied by someone in favorable terrain, and more than 10,000 people in his hands alone could not resist the impact of the 100,000 Chinese army, but he did not give up, he was still looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, but unfortunately he did not know that the entire Kyushu Island was already the stronghold of the Japanese army, and the assistance of the island was just a dream.
The mortars continued to fire, but the Japanese soldiers in the city could not find any cover that could provide protection, they were directly exposed to the shells, and had nowhere to hide, so they could only silently pray that the shells would not fall on them.
The Chinese army has always had the habit of carrying more ammunition, and later the continuous bombardment of mortars reduced the density, basically only a few mortars fired without a single shot, but there was no sign of stopping, even at night, there were always one or two mortars from time to time to shoot a shot, so shocked that the Japanese soldiers in the city did not dare to sleep at all, for fear that they would never wake up again if they fell asleep.
On the third day of the bombardment, the Japanese soldiers in the city could no longer bear it, and all the Japanese soldiers were tortured to madness due to their endless thirst and inability to sleep. Eventually, some of the junior officers staged a mutiny and arrested the equally exhausted Ichiro Yanagi. The mutinous Japanese soldiers opened the gates of the city and handed Yagyu Ichiro over to the Chinese army, and they chose to surrender.
