Chapter 780: Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress (Third Update)
Peach Blossom Mountain, is a hilly area in the northern part of Hunan, because of the growth of a peach forest, so named, from ancient times to the present, is also a place where literati and ink writers linger.
But now this treasure land is occupied by the Japanese army, and it is used as a bridgehead to attack Changsha, Hunan.
It took more than three months for the Japanese army to build permanent and semi-permanent fortifications. Moreover, most of the permanent fortifications have hollowed out the mountain and built it in the middle of the mountain, like a natural fortress.
Easy to defend but hard to attack!
At the same time, the geographical location occupied by Taohuashan is quite important, and it lies directly on the Guangdong-Hanzhou railway line, cutting off the road for the national army to go north.
Therefore, if the national army wants to enter Hubei, it must take a detour and cross one mountain after another, which will take two more days.
Such an important strategic point is now occupied by the Japanese army, and the party-state authorities are of course not reconciled.
Therefore, more than two months ago, the 27th Army of the Sichuan Army, which gathered an army and a brigade, with a total of 22,000 troops, launched an attack on it.
But!
Our Chinese army attacked for a full nine days, but failed to capture this important military fortress.
On the contrary, the lives of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers were lost, and even Yang Sen, commander-in-chief of the 27th Group Army of the Sichuan Army, was hit by a stray bullet by mistake and almost died there.
The Japanese troops in the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress repelled the attacks of our Chinese army again and again, stepped on the corpses of countless Chinese sons and daughters, and established the prestige of the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress as a "copper wall and iron wall"!
The Japanese troops stationed at Taohuashan Fortress today are the 47th Infantry Wing of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.
"Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the leading detachment of the Eighth Route Army has crossed the Xinqiang River and entered the boundary of the old lotus pond, and it is expected that it will arrive at my Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress in another 5 hours!"
A Japanese communications soldier shouted.
As soon as the words ended, the Japanese officers and soldiers around him, together with the co-captain Miurasuke, all burst into laughter, their expressions full of disdain.
Who are they?
They were one of the most combat-ready of the hundreds of wings of the Japanese army.
During this period, there was a saying among the Japanese officers and soldiers: "The first Japanese soldier in the world, the first Japanese soldier in Kyushu!" ”
Among them, Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu has been a famous source of soldiers in Japan since ancient times. The area is impoverished and the people are intimidating, and men often seek to join the army.
The officers and men of the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army were from the Kagoshima area of Kumamoto Prefecture.
The Japanese officers and soldiers from this region were born with an innate enthusiasm and enthusiasm for fighting, and in late 1942, the wing was transferred to the Pacific region, which made the invincible old United States suffer.
"Roar!"
Wing Commander Miurasuke laughed wildly: "Their Eighth Route Army is so bold that they dare to challenge us with a force of thousands of people, since this is the case, then we will destroy them all!" ”
The adjutant followed suit: "Everything is under the instructions of the Wing Captain!" ”
The Japanese officers around him also echoed it again and again!
With a national army of more than 20,000 people, they are not afraid, but where can they be afraid of the Eighth Route Army, which is only a few thousand people?
What's more, the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress where they are located is built like an iron wall.
Wing Commander Miura Suke said loudly: "Pass my order, order all the soldiers of my wing to immediately enter the scheduled combat posts, and when the Eighth Route Army comes, immediately launch a fierce attack on it!" ”
"Hi, Your Excellency, Wing Commander!"

Old lotus pond.
Dragon Head Detachment.
Our dragon head detachment of thousands of people marched on the long road, and there was no end in sight, and the morale of the soldiers was incomparably high.
There are even military songs sung along the way, just like the state of "the boss of the sky, the second of the earth, and the third of me".
Some officers and men of the small units of the Japanese army, who were following our army from afar, were almost angry when they saw such a situation.
"Arrogant, so arrogant!"
"They don't take our Imperial Japanese Army seriously at all!"
"Your Excellency the squad leader, we might as well attack them directly and kill their arrogance."
Direct offense?
Attacking a large force of the leading detachment with a small force?
In an instant, many Japanese soldiers echoed it!
They are not fools!
It has always been a tradition of the Japanese army to attack a large force of the enemy army with a small force.
First, it can test the strength of the enemy's army;
second, it can damage the morale of the enemy;
Third, confuse the enemy commander, make him angry, and then make him lose his original calm.
Although this trick is simple, it is very effective, and it is a trick that the Japanese army has tried and tested.
"Yaga, you idiots!"
Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers did not get the approval of the squad leader, but a scolding.
The Japanese squad leader looked frightened, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you know? Not long ago, I got the news that Team Ueto, Team Kuraki, and Team Uchiyama had the same idea as you, and they were putting it into action.
But in the end, they were all wiped out by the Chinese army, and only a few people survived. ”
As soon as the words fell, dozens of Japanese soldiers around them were instantly shocked!
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
"The strength of the Ueto team, Kuraki team, and Uchiyama team is not inferior to us at all."
"Damn!"
"It's unbelievable that they were wiped out in such a short period of time!
"It seems that this group of Eighth Route Army is much more difficult than all the Chinese troops we have encountered!"
For a time, none of the dozens of Japanese soldiers present dared to put forward the words of direct attack.
Direct offense?
What about being kicked in the head by a donkey?
Didn't you see that all three elite squads of our army were wiped out?
At this moment, not only this Japanese squad was honest, but all the small Japanese troops along the way to the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress were all honest.
A Japanese squadron leader was shocked and said: "The Chinese army with this kind of combat effectiveness is no longer something that we can shake with this amount of strength, and the enemy's strength is quite strong!" ”

Dragon Head Detachment.
Chen Feng, deputy commander of the 886th Regiment, said to the regiment commander Jiang Daya in a low voice: "Regiment commander, this time our army has shown its strength so strongly, and it can indeed play a role in deterring the enemy, but the Japanese army's Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress is a hard bone, and our strength of thousands of people is afraid that it will be difficult to shake." ”
"That's right!"
Political Commissar Zhang Pujing also frowned and said: "Big Tooth, logically speaking, it is an unwise choice to storm the enemy's fortress. At the moment, I think it is better to take advantage of the arrogant nature of the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army to attract it and seek a decisive battle in the field. ”
Zhang Pujing's suggestion was also recognized by Chen Feng, the deputy head of the regiment.
Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress, more than 20,000 people of the national army have not stormed it, can these thousands of people in our army succeed?
The result is obviously impossible!
"Big Tooth, you must not be rash, now is not the time to be strong."
Political Commissar Zhang Pujing said bitterly, looking anxious.
The Japanese army's Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress is an impregnable wall!
"Huh!"
Jiang Daya laughed, looked at Chen Feng and Zhang Pujing, and said with a smile: "You guys, you are too underestimating little devils." You're right, we can take advantage of the rampant nature of the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army, and use the strategy of showing the enemy's weakness to attract them out? ”
"But are you ignoring a fact?"
"The little devil is not a fool, how can he be easily lured out?"
"And the most important thing is that their task is not to destroy us, but to defend the Peach Blossom Mountain Fortress and hold the bridgehead for them to attack Changsha in the south!"
"Therefore, it is not easy to talk about luring the enemy deep and showing the enemy weakness in this battle!"
The moment the words fell, political commissar Zhang Pujing and deputy head Chen Feng all looked solemn and abnormal.
The Japanese army can't come out, and there is a fortress like Taohuashan Fortress, how can this kind of battle be fought?
Attack, there will be a lot of soldiers sacrificed!
"Commander, can it only be a strong attack now?" Chen Feng said in a deep voice.
"Hmm!"
Jiang Daya's hippie smile suddenly disappeared, and he said coldly: "That's right, there is only one way to attack at the moment." The little devils are arrogant, then we will be more arrogant than them, a hundred times more arrogant than them! ”
"Then tear all their arrogance to pieces with strong firepower, and make them angry and angry, so that we can have the opportunity to seek victory!"
