Chapter 152: Who We Are
The inevitable round of attack failed again, and Iida Masao himself did not realize that they had lost the strength to attack again, and wanted to fight again. After nearly two hours of observation, Gan Qi also saw that the people guarding the Lion Gate were definitely the elite of the Xuebing Army, and the 213 Wing was like this, not because Iida was not in good command or the soldiers did not need to die, but the enemy was too difficult. He didn't speak ill of Iida anymore, but said to him, "Just leave a little seed for the 213 Wing!" When this battle is over, I will ask the commander of the village to ask you to return to China to replenish it. ”
Iida was so grateful that he almost burst into tears, long live his understanding—he bowed to Gan and said, "Your Excellency, thank you for your love, humble, humble—"
Gan Qi didn't have time to listen to him be grateful to Dade, and in his imagination, he dared to take Nanchang before dawn. Interrupting him with a wave of his hand, he called the captain of the 215th Wing, Nagawaki Kane Osa, and said to the latter, "Didn't you want to avenge Major General Naoki Araki?" I'm going to give you that opportunity now. Iida-kun has opened the situation for you, so it's up to you! ”
The Matsumoto Brigade that protected Naoki Araki came from Nagatowaki's 215th Wing, and after Matsumoto's Brigade was almost wiped out and Araki and Matsumoto were killed, Nagatowaki Kane shouted for revenge. Gan Jian obviously remembered this, so he left the opportunity to capture the Lion Gate. Nagato bowed first, then raised his head and said loudly, "Your Excellency, please give us twenty minutes." Twenty minutes later, please climb the Lion Gate and overlook Nanchang! ”
"Roar!" Gan Qi nodded.
Nagato bowed to Gan again, nodded to Iida, and then rallied his troops.
Five minutes later, Nagato personally led the remaining two brigades of the Wing to attack the top of Lion Gate Mountain as a squadron. "There are not many defenders left on the top of the mountain, gentlemen, bring out your bravery and use the head of the Shina man to pay tribute to the spirit of Lord Araki in the sky!" He shouted like this, and immediately won a roaring response from his devils.
Gan saw this scene five hundred meters away and was very satisfied with Nagato. Called the chief of staff, Xiao Nuggets, and he said to him: "After the Lion Gate is captured, I will lead the main force first, and the light and heavy soldiers and sappers will be handed over to you!" ”
The 33rd Mountain Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army had a lot of ammunition, and every wave of shelling had to plow the top of the mountain almost once. Now, if they survive the shelling, it has become the first problem for them to solve.
Yoshida Kenichi also thought that there were not many defenders left on the mountain, and this was already the last artillery bombardment of the headquarters, so the artillery fire was extraordinarily sufficient, which also made the second regiment lose a lot in this round of artillery bombardment, and when the artillery fire diffracted down the mountain, and the Japanese troops under the mountain began to fire flares to the top of the mountain, the second regiment had less than two companies of men and horses left.
Dai Dama was also wounded in his left arm by shrapnel in this round of shelling, and the artillery fire shifted, and he quickly hung his left arm around his neck with a V-belt, and then looked down the mountain. Halfway up the mountain on the west side, the fire caused by the grenades thrown by the students' previous counterattack was still burning, and by the light of the fire, the devils gradually appeared. Although the 2nd Regiment suffered heavy losses in the first round of artillery bombardment, Dai Dama, who was so strong, still wanted to rely on his own strength to repel this round of Japanese attacks. However, when he saw the number of invading enemy troops, he dismissed this idea. "MD, what a lot of devils!" An "old bandit" beside him exclaimed in a low voice!
Dai Dama: "The little devil wants to take it down in one fell swoop!" With that, he pulled out two flares and crashed them into the pistol, and the trigger snapped and fired out.
Two red signal flares rose into the sky, and Feng Lanshan, who was on the mountainside, sank in his heart. He shouted: "Brothers, get ready, as soon as the artillery fire stops, so the men rush forward at once." Then, he took the microphone from the communication staff officer next to him, pinched it and shouted: "Mao Xiangnan, prepare two regiments, and come up as soon as the artillery fire stops!" ”
"Yes!"
The artillery stopped, and under the leadership of Ge Zhengshu, the three regiments and the two regiments of the second division and the fourth brigade immediately rushed out of the trenches and anti-artillery holes, and rushed towards the top of the mountain in a swarm. At the same time, the sound of gunfire at the top of the hill was already ringing.
In the ranks of the Japanese troops, flares were fired into the sky one after another, illuminating the area on the top of the mountain as bright as day. Nagato himself stood on the front line, he raised his command knife and shouted at his subordinates to charge. The Japanese troops formed squadrons and launched an attack on the top of the hill in a skirmish line after another. Dai Dama looked down condescendingly, his vision was full of Japanese helmets wrapped in camouflage nets, and his eyes couldn't help but shrink. This formation is actually quite unfavorable to the attacking side, and if you think about it on the other hand, it also shows that the Japanese army is bound to win this offensive. Looking around, behind them, the support troops were rushing up, and on the top of the mountain, almost all of them looked ragged. Others, like him, hang an arm or have a bandage around their head. In the face of his gaze, they subconsciously straightened their chests, and their eyes revealed a spirit of seeing death as home. "Lao Tzu once had a thousand brothers! That's all there is to it now?! He roared in his heart, there was moisture in his eyes, and he rubbed it hard, and he suddenly roared, "Brothers! Who are we?! ”
"Bandits of Eagle Cliff Mountain!" Dozens of voices roared in unison.
"Why should we be bandits?"
This is a tradition of the "old bandits" in Eagle Cliff Mountain, which has sounded countless times when Eagle Cliff Mountain and the guerrillas are facing a desperate situation, and gradually it has become the pride of the "old bandits" - the "old bandits" are completely instinctively shouting: "To kill the devil!" ”
Dai Dama pointed to the bottom of the mountain with his right hand and shouted: "Today, we may die here, but even if we die, we must let the little devil know who we are!" We are bandits on Eagle Cliff Mountain! As long as there is still a devil on the land of China, our bandits in Eagle Cliff Mountain will not be eradicated for a day! Brothers, rush! ”
"Rush!"
Nagatowaki Ganwei, Feng Lanshan, Ge Zhengshu and Huyan Leopard, they didn't expect Dai Dama to launch a counterattack at this time - even if they had a condescending advantage, but they only had two companies, and almost all of them were wounded, in this situation, it was not so much a counterattack as a suicide attack.
Feng Lanshan immediately shouted: "Nonsense! Huyan Leopard scolded: "Lao Dai! You're looking for death! Ge Zhengshu shouted: "Brothers, hurry! Fast! Fast! ”
Nagato was first shocked and then delighted, and he shouted: "The people of China are desperate, the soldiers of the imperial army, kill them!" ”
"Kill!"
