Chapter 981: Xiyun Peak Counterattack
As the supreme commander of the more than 80,000 units of the Central Army in Duyun, Guo Huawen personally commanded the battle to recapture Xiyun Peak, which is counterintuitive, and it can be seen that Guo Huawen attaches great importance to Xiyun Peak, Xiyun Peak was captured by the Japanese by surprise, like a thorn, deeply pierced in Guo Huawen's throat, and he blamed himself while actively organizing a counterattack.
All the officers of the 19th Group Army fiercely opposed the commander's risk, and how could he be so rash about the fate and safety of more than 80,000 officers and soldiers and Duyun City? Anyway, Guo Huawen had made up his mind, and the generals had to watch him go out of the city with fear.
As long as the defenders hold on for more than two hours, Guo Huawen will organize the troops and surround the thousands of little devils who are alone at the foot of Xiyun Peak, and kill them all, but it is too late, the regiment commander who lost the important place of Xiyun Peak and fled back to Duyun City has been shot.
In the summer night of southern Qiannan, it is hot and humid, flying everywhere, the pervasive flying insects, along the collar, cuffs, trouser legs of the soldiers of the Central Army drilled in, biting people's hearts and itching, on the Xiyun Peak, the piles of bonfires raised by the Japanese soldiers, in the dark night, the ghostly fire swaying, with the night wind, from time to time the Japanese soldiers hummed a small tune, for these Japanese soldiers, fighting such a battle, similar to tourism.
The night was getting deeper, the temperature dropped, and the condensed dewdrops, drop by drop, fell onto the clothes, wetting the thin army
Pretend, the cold soak makes people can't help but shiver, close to one o'clock in the morning, the bonfire on the mountain. It has dimmed, and there is no small tone of the Japanese soldiers crying wolf, and the surroundings of Xiyun Peak are as silent as death.
Guo Huawen looked at the luminous watch and whispered to the operator with the radio on his back: "Order the artillery, start the shelling," and the lights were gone. In the dark city of Duyun, a dull thunder suddenly sounded. From Guo Huawen's point of view, bursts of firelight appeared and disappeared from time to time, and in the air, a meteor flew from far and near, and it passed over the top of his head in an instant.
Artillery of the 19th Army. began to bombard Xiyun Peak, one shell after another, with a long tail flame, piercing screaming, and plunged headlong on the main peak of Xiyun Peak, and the flames rose. In the firelight, the stilted figures of the Japanese soldiers appeared and disappeared from time to time, and there was a huge explosion. In the dark night, it continued to spread to the four fields, and there were dull echoes in the distance.
A swarm of cannonballs, tearing through the air and whistling in, Xiyun Peak was shrouded in a cloud of fire and metal fragments, and Yokoyama Jinyong jumped up violently from the haze, and came into view. It's a cannonball that falls like a meteor, and there is fire everywhere. Whistling shrapnel, Imperial soldiers torn apart in the firelight. The figure running in panic heard the screams of the brave and invincible imperial soldiers before they were dying amid a huge roar.
"Shelling, shelling of the Chinese army, immediately enter the fortifications and prepare for battle!" Yokoyama Shinyong immediately understood that the Shina army took advantage of the night to counterattack, His Excellency, the wing commander, stood bravely and fearlessly on a high place, commanding loudly, maybe the goal was too obvious, maybe Yokoyama Shinyu was too unlucky, just after shouting these words, a few shells flew, mud, gunsmoke, and fire. Mix the bushes on the ground and fly into the air together.
The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, there were several large pits on the ground, and the smoke was still billowing, and the captain of the 133rd Wing could no longer be seen, and there was no trace of any trace of Yokoyama Jinyong Dazuo, a few pieces of torn military uniforms, and a command knife broken into several pieces, which seemed to prove that what once stood here was a Japanese soldier with a beautiful dream, but with his sins, he added some fertilizer to the land of southern Qiannan, China.
Unexpectedly, in the early morning when the Japanese soldiers were most sleepy and neglected to take precautions, this time, the fierce shelling lasted for more than an hour, causing huge casualties to the 133rd Wing, and the surrounding area of the main peak of Xiyun Peak was almost changed The terrain and landform were almost changed, and more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers were covered by the shelling and torn their bodies apart.
As soon as the shelling ended, the Japanese soldiers had not yet woken up from the shelling, at the foot of Xiyunfeng Mountain, a roar suddenly broke out, more than 6,000 soldiers of the Central Army, shaking off the dew on their bodies, launched a charge against the remnants of the Japanese army, Guo Huawen breathed a long sigh of relief, the battle to recapture Xiyunfeng, there was no suspense, the effect of this shelling was beyond his expectations.
At about four o'clock in the morning, the battle to recover Xiyun Peak ended victoriously, the Japanese 133rd Wing was wiped out on Xiyun Peak, more than 3,200 people under the wing captain Yokoyama Jinyong Dazuo, all were annihilated, unfortunately, not a single Japanese prisoner was caught, and the angry soldiers of the Central Army were ruthless, coupled with the desperate and stubborn resistance of the Japanese soldiers, which aroused the anger of the soldiers, and they were all killed.
In the face of such a result, Guo Huawen could only smile bitterly, his original intention was to capture a few Japanese soldiers and send them to Chairman Chiang in Chongqing, so as to promote the prestige of the 19th Group Army.
Subsequently, Guo Huawen put more than 6,000 people of the independent brigade on Xiyun Peak, and transferred a large number of troops to repair fortifications overnight, dig anti-artillery holes and concealment departments, establish various firepower points, and transport enough ammunition and supplies, as well as all kinds of medicines, and also sent some doctors and nurses from the field hospital of the group army to establish a field hospital.
Guo Huawen knows very well that the main position of Xiyun Peak, in the future defense of Duyun, will bear the brunt of the most fierce attack of the Japanese army, and if Xiyun Peak is not taken, the Japanese army will not be able to get close to Duyun City, so to speak, if Xiyun Peak is there, Duyun City is there, which is a nail in the eyes of the Japanese.
By dawn, a complete fortification, all kinds of defensive measures of the main position of Xiyun Peak, appeared in front of Guo Huawen's eyes, what he admired the most was the creativity of the independent brigade commander Chi Zifeng, in the anticline of the main peak of Xiyun Peak, dug a traffic trench leading to Duyun City, which is equivalent to establishing a lifeline to Xiyun Peak, which can continue to increase troops and replenish supplies and ammunition on the main position of Xiyun Peak.
Back in the city, Guo Huawen pondered silently in front of the map, and he suddenly found that between Dushan and Duyun, there was a small river called Longtou River, and the distance from Duyun was no more than 30 kilometers, "Staff officer, immediately order the commander of the special service battalion of the 21st Army to come to me," An hour later, several trucks loaded with explosives drove out of Duyun City and drove towards the direction of Longtou River.
This night, Yamashita Fengwen slept very well and sweetly, he hadn't slept well like this for a long time, after getting up, breathing a breath of fresh air in the land of China, he couldn't help but be intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the southern part of Qiannan, such a beautiful, rich and vast land, but occupied by the inferior people, this inferior nation, does not deserve to have such a land, this is the only reason why Yamashita Fengwen picked up the saber, his hands were stained with blood, and he stepped on this land with the attitude of a conqueror.
After a few relaxing activities, he took out a few kendo figures, and Yamashita Fengwen, who was in a good mood, asked casually to the side, and looked at the staff officer of His Excellency the Commander with reverence, "Xiao Yanjun, do you have any news from Yokoyama-kun?" "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the last time Wing Commander Yokoyama sent a report was at twenty-three o'clock last night, and since then, no news has come from me," replied the young staff officer thoughtfully.
"Oh, probably Yokoyama-kun, I overslept on the peak of the mountain in China, and immediately contacted the Yokoyama Wing to inquire about the situation of Duyun," Yamashita Fengwen casually ordered, enjoying a Japanese breakfast comfortably, Yamashita Fengwen's mind has already begun to think about the next attack target of the Fifteenth Army after the occupation of Duyun, it can be faster, and the attack speed of the troops is still slow.
Staff officer Xiaoyan hurriedly ran over, his face was not quite right, Yamashita Fengwen shook his head, very disapproving, what is it a young man, he can't hold his breath, it is nothing more than the government army of China, trying to recapture Xiyun Peak, "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the headquarters has lost contact with the Hengshan Wing, all the radio stations are turned on, and there is no signal from the Wing. Xiao Yan looked at his face and reported cautiously.
A piece of cake that Yamashita Fengwen ate in his mouth was stuck in his throat at that time, and his face turned purple, and he finally swallowed it, and hurriedly asked, "When did you lose contact with Yokoyama United?" "It was about four o'clock in the morning when the signal for the Yokoyama United team was suddenly cut off," Kohiko added closely.
"Hani, it's four o'clock in the morning, that's four hours ago, why don't you report it right away, Baga, work like a stupid pig," Yamashita Fengwen got up suddenly, overturned the table, and the hearty breakfast was scattered all over the ground, and rushed to Xiao Yan angrily, splitting his head and covering his face was a few slaps, making Xiao Yan's eyes glow with gold stars and blood from his mouth, and then, leaving the stunned staff officer, as if burning his buttocks, he hurriedly rushed into the radio tent.
Looking at His Excellency the Commander who suddenly became a fierce and vicious man, Xiao Yan was aggrieved and wanted to commit suicide, not you ordered him to go down, don't disturb his rest in anything, even if it is a telegram from Commander-in-Chief Shouichi Terauchi, unless it is a telegram from His Majesty the Emperor, at this time, I turned my face and didn't recognize people, where to reason, these few slaps were received, I was really aggrieved.
Yamashita Fengwen rushed into the radio tent, and the first thing he said was, "All the Baga, dead and dead," looking at His Excellency the commander, who was so angry that he was like a bull being trampled on an egg, and several Japanese junior officers next to the radio station, he was stunned with fright, and suddenly there was a hot pain on his face, it turned out that His Excellency the commander, he was agile, and everyone was given a few slaps.
The Hengshan United, which was deep in the lone army, lost contact for more than four hours, and could no longer be contacted, Yamashita Fengwen had a hunch that there must be something wrong with Xiyun Peak, and the worst result was that the Hengshan Wing was annihilated by the Shina government army, "Order to go down, all troops, immediately drive to the direction of Duyun," In the mountains and fields of southern Qiannan, the wolf-like voice of Fengwen under the mountain sounded.
