Section 98 The Bloody Battle of Wanjialing 30

The Japanese army has indeed gone crazy, and although they have killed and injured a large number of enemy troops around them in a few days of breakthrough battles, they are becoming more and more dangerous as time goes by, and they still have not broken through the defense line of the national army. Now that they have learned of the movements of the 27th Division, although they have taken the first line of Tianhe Bridge and are attacking the flank of Qilin Peak, but in the face of a position garrisoned by the whole army, the 27th Division is also weak, and it is impossible to open the channel for the 106th Division to retreat in a short time.

The commander of the 106th Division, Junrokuro Matsuura, took Chief of Staff Yoshitaka Akiyama and other officers to the front line to command, and looked at the national army that was still stubbornly resisting on the mountain, and couldn't help but give the order to attack with murderous awe.

With the sound of a fierce cannonball, the Japanese soldiers who were attacking with all their strength were hit by the blast wave in front of them, and in the middle of dodging, they spat blood one by one, rolled upside down, and the soldiers on both sides who were fighting hand-to-hand were torn apart by the shells, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The two sergeants were caught off guard and were almost instantly killed by the overwhelming shells on the narrow defensive line. The few survivors, frightened by the falling shells, fell to the ground one by one, resigned to their fate. The 301st Regiment was devastated, and not long after they arrived, they were engulfed in the battlefield and swallowed up by shells, and most of the panting soldiers were killed and wounded before they even fired their guns.

The Japanese officer who was supervising the battle in the distance waved his hand expressionlessly, and the reserve behind him continued to kill without the slightest hesitation.

Looking at the long ridge that was completely shrouded by a cannon fire, and looking at the gunpowder smoke rising into the sky in front of him, Matsuura Junrokuro's hideous face finally showed a smug look, he could see that the enemy's defense line was already crumbling, as long as he worked harder, maybe he could completely break through the enemy's defense line in the next moment and completely occupy this mountain range.

Thinking that as soon as the army broke out of the encirclement, it would have the opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the enemy, he no longer had the slightest hesitation and ordered a fierce attack.

Telegrams asking for help came one after another to Lion Rock, and the "dripping ...... The sound of "Didi ......" is like the bell of Hades, which makes people upset and afraid.

A captain staff officer came over with a telegram, and Chief of Staff Ma Junyan looked at him. The captain's staff officer seemed to understand, and nodded to his commander, Ma Junyan sighed helplessly, and immediately shook his head at this staff officer, without looking at him, he knew that it was a telegram urging reinforcements, and the bloody battle in Changling had been fought for half a day, and the 172nd Brigade was probably about to be unable to bear it.

After thinking about it, Ma Junyan still walked over and whispered: "Junzuo, Senfa is afraid that he will not be able to withstand it, according to the telegram of Deputy Division Commander He, Senfa has already led the guards to the front line half an hour ago, and the entire 174 Brigade is almost finished." ”

Yu Jishi didn't look back, he stood quietly, his body was straight, like a statue, giving people a domineering spirit that would rather bend than bend.

"Isn't there any news from the 174 Brigade yet?" Jiang Fusheng on the side asked Ma Junyan worriedly.

"Reinforcements are coming back, but it will take time! The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the devil's plane is raging overhead, and I can't get up fast if I want to. Ma Junyan said helplessly.

Wang Yaowu suddenly said out: "Junzuo, I'll bring someone up." Changling is lost, and it is useless to guard in Lion Rock, if the devil still has reserves, I will admit it. ”

Yu Jishi raised his hand and said categorically: "The 51st Division can't move, this battle has just begun, and there is still something to fight behind, and everyone will be defeated in one battle, and it is useless to surround the devils." Advice, you take the military headquarters guard battalion to Changling, and tell Senfa that with such a small number of people, there will not be another reinforcement, no matter what, you must guard until the 174th Brigade arrives, and whoever dares to retreat will be severely punished. ”

Zhan Zhongyan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked hesitantly: "Junzuo, what should the military department do?" ”

"With the 51st Division here, the military headquarters will be fine, now we need time, Jun Yan, send someone to urge Wu Jiguang, and give him half an hour, no matter what method is used, if you can't catch up with Changling, I will kill him with my own hands." Yu Jishi said solemnly, and seemed to have thought clearly about the current battle situation.

The bloody battle at Changling lasted from morning to afternoon, and for several hours, the Japanese army basically did not have a moment of rest, and constantly launched an attack on the national defense line.

The arrival of the guard battalion of the military headquarters became the key to deciding the victory, and this battalion only came with more than 200 people from two companies, but this was enough. This is the last unit of the Escort Military Department, and it is the elite of the entire 74th Army, and the non-commissioned officers among them are all brave and brave, and their equipment and weapons are the most in the whole army.

Each person has a *, a magazine full of bullet bags and their accurate marksmanship, the combat power of its 200 people burst out in an instant, so that everyone looks sideways, and the tired Japanese army who rushed up was even more bloody slaughter by them, in just a few breaths, nearly 100 Japanese soldiers fell under the gun, died on the spot, and their ferocious offensive directly made the Japanese army stop and retreat in shock.

Under the command of the two company commanders, the military battalions were distributed on the battlefield in squad and platoon units, and their powerful and sharp firepower suddenly blocked the tired impact of the Japanese army, which made Junrokuro Matsuura, who was supervising the battle on the front line, can't help but scold.

When he organized the death squad again to prepare to fight again, Wu Jiguang finally came late with the 174 Brigade, although they consumed most of their physical strength over the mountains and mountains, but the national army is mainly defensive, which gives them a big advantage, and the physical requirements are not so obvious, on the other hand, the Japanese army, from the morning to the present, although it has torn apart the defense line of the national army many times, but it has been beaten out again and again, not only the physical consumption is huge, the psychological blow to them is heavier, the crippled mountain, the crumbling defense line, In their eyes, it is as insurmountable as a moat.

The enemy has been reinforced again! It is not clear how many times this is the reinforcement, every time when the enemy's defense line is about to collapse, the sudden surge of fresh forces can block the gap to the death, so that they fall short, and now, the gap does not need to be blocked, the arrival of a large number of reinforcements has completely made them lose the opportunity to attack, and even because of their own heavy losses, they need to beware of the opponent's counterattack.

In a whole day of bloody fighting, the 172nd Brigade was almost killed, the 58th Division was killed and wounded, the reinforced 301st Regiment had been completely wiped out of the troops that had been put into the attack in advance, and even the horsemen and men all took up arms and rushed to the front line.

However, their efforts were rewarded, the Japanese army also left more than 3,000 corpses on the long mountain ridge, coupled with the fierce attack on the front line of the flesh in the first two days, the number of Japanese casualties was close to 10,000, and the entire division and regiment were seriously reduced, and they had lost their previous sharpness and strength.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, Junrokuro Matsuura ordered all the shells to be poured on Nagaridge, which was crumbling in the midst of the cannonfire as night approached, and the pillars of flame light that constantly soared into the air illuminated the dusk sky and changed the color of the heavens and the earth.

The stones had been looking north for the whole day, and they were not too far from the direct distance from Long Ridge, but because of the undulating nature of the mountain, it would take a long time to reach Long Ridge. They could hear the sound of artillery fire on the position of the 172nd Brigade and the deafening sound of gunfire and shouts of killing, but they did not know the battle situation and situation in Changling, and they did not know the situation in Changling.

After a day of anxious and restless waiting, when the last light of the day faded between heaven and earth, the distance calmed down, and everything seemed to fall into a deep sleep with the coming of night, and under the cover of night, everything was calm.

The only thing that is not calm is the hearts of the soldiers of the national army. The coming of the night, not only did not let them breathe a sigh of relief, but made everyone more nervous, directly now, they still don't know what the result of the bloody battle in Changling is, if the 58th Division holds it, it's okay, once it can't be held, the devils will go away, and what awaits them at that time is a disaster.

The young face of the stone looks extraordinarily old because of the baptism of countless artillery fire, and on this young face of about 20 years old, there is no immaturity, no youth, only hard perseverance and a pair of sharp eyes. If it weren't for the rank of colonel on his collar, no one would have imagined that he was already a regimental commander commanding 3,000 men, but would have thought of him as a brave and fearless soldier.

"Order Liu Taiping, draw out a platoon to the reconnaissance company, pay close attention to the situation in the Changling area, and the others immediately rest in case there is a situation in the second half of the night." The stone looked at the dark sky and commanded with a stern expression, his eyes full of worry.

Liu Wenfeng, the commander of the first battalion, looked around, and after the stone finished speaking, he asked Wu Zihuai softly: "Chief of Staff, is there no news from above?" Changling is not far from us, and it stands to reason that whether it is reinforcements or retreat, we should take the lead! ”

Wu Zihuai shook his head and said, "No, there is no news at all." Immediately, he looked at the stone and saw that the regiment commander was looking into the distance in a daze, so he lowered his voice and said, "We seem to have been forgotten by others, so we just left it here and didn't ask." After speaking, he couldn't help but sigh in frustration.

Shi suddenly interjected and said: "Forget it, if you really forget, we can have fewer battles and sacrifice fewer brothers, I'm afraid that Shangfeng didn't forget, but left them to fight a big battle, which would be a bit bad." ”
