"Division, the ghost artillery has wiped out the Japanese reinforcements, but his direct company has been wiped out! And the shells are in a hurry again! Sima Hong reported to Liu Hai. Well done! What's going on over there with Huang Kesheng? There are also reinforcements from the Japanese army on the side of Gaoligong Mountain! Bangs asked. There's no news over there yet, but it should be soon! Sima Hong said. Hurry up and ask about the situation, and also, ask the transport team behind to hurry up and replenish the artillery regiment with shells, the fortifications of Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain will only be stronger, and the shell consumption will be greater at that time, and the sufficiency of shells must be ensured! "Bangs is most concerned about logistics!" I'm afraid there will be difficulties, the road in the rear has been blown up again, and the pontoon bridge has also been blown up! Colonel Gillis is desperately repairing it, and it looks like he won't be able to get through the car for a while! Now it is the people on the Yunnan border who are transporting logistical materials, but the transportation capacity is limited, and the ammunition cannot be transported after transporting food! Sima Hong said. Damn, this stupid Gillis can't do anything but brag! Liu Hai scolded when he heard that the logistics and transportation couldn't keep up. In any case, even if you use people to carry it, you have to send shells to it! ”

In fact, at this time, Colonel Gillis was not idle, but the steepness of the mountains in Yunnan was not ordinary, when it was built, hundreds of thousands of people in Yunnan worked hard to build it, and it was not until now that Colonel Gillis understood what it was difficult to! "No matter what, we must resume the opening to traffic, dismantle the large steel beams and transport them in sections, and we must erect them!" Colonel Gillis commanded his own engineering regiment and worked hard to build! "Mr. Colonel, after the steel beam was dismantled, it was already being transported inside, but there is a section of the canyon where the rattan bridge is broken and is being connected!" The staff officer said. "I'll take a look!" Colonel Gillis went with his own men. "Here a I-beam is erected with wood and lifted by rope!" The canyon that Gillis saw was hundreds of meters deep, and the rope bridge in the middle was broken! After watching it for a long time, Colonel Gillis ordered! "The rope should be thicker!" Colonel Gillis arranged. "No, there is no support point in the middle, and the rope cannot be erected!" An American GI shouted. "Hang on the bridgehead of the rope bridge!" Colonel Gillis said. But after everything was done, the I-beams were added, and the large erected steel beams began to be transported from the ropes! "!" Colonel Gillis looked at the rope that was about to be broken, but if this steel beam fell, there would be absolutely no way to erect it! "Get out of the way!" Colonel Gillis fought and rushed up to hold the rope, and the other soldiers hurriedly reinforced the new rope, but at this time, the rope broke, and Colonel Gillis, who was holding the rope, was dragged down the canyon!

"Division, we have to find a way, Colonel Gillis has just died, although the allies have not stopped the construction, but I am afraid that it will not be able to get through for a while!" Sima Hong said. "Then load the cannonballs onto the raft and transport them on the raft! It is necessary to transport the shells in the shortest possible time, and specifically call Chief of Staff Guo to be responsible! Bangs said. Half an hour later, Chief of Staff Guo did not disappoint Liu Hai, and ordered someone to thicken the raft by one layer, double the buoyancy, and connect the rafts loaded with shells together, increasing the stable type of forced crossing, and after more than a dozen forced crossings, a batch of shells was finally successfully transported across the Nu River! "Master!" Chief of Staff Guo reported to Liu Hai that "all the shells transported to the river have been sent across the Nu River and are being distributed to the artillery regiment!" I believe that it will not affect the operation! "Well done!" Liu Hai looked at Guo Mingzhong in front of him, no matter what purpose he came to the Fourth Division, at least he was still very good in combat! "You have one more thing, the telephone line has been blown up, you have to go to the commander of the guard, tell him to equip the combat troops with a few more signal guns, and use the signal guns to provide shooting targets for the artillery, which will increase the accuracy of shooting, the vegetation in Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain is very lush, even direct fire is difficult to accurate!" Bangs said. "Okay, I see!" Guo Mingzhong said immediately. "Distribute signal guns to guide artillery shooting, haha, Division Commander Liu is really not ordinary, this method can be thought of! How many flare guns are all taken out and equipped with company-level officers! "Wei Lihuang is worried about attacking the two commanding heights, with this method, no matter how many bunkers the Japanese army has, if they are strong, they can't block the close-range direct fire of 155 mm heavy *, so they won't be able to take it down!

Huang Kesheng on the north road was not idle, because the Japanese reinforcements also rushed towards him, and Huang Kesheng ordered his independent regiment to set up an ambush on the road that the Japanese army must pass! "Idea, the first battalion is responsible for the assault, the second battalion is responsible for the head, and the third battalion is pinching the tail, we must kill all these Japanese troops here!" Huang Kesheng said to his battalion commander. "Don't worry!" Several battalion commanders said. But Huang Kesheng didn't expect what a heavy price he would pay! "Fire!" Huang Kesheng gave an order, and dozens of machine guns in the whole regiment began to fire fiercely, giving a great blow to the Japanese army! "Mortar on! Launch a counterattack as a brigade and be sure to rush out! The Japanese commander also shouted. The Japanese charge is very distinctive, two machine guns and riflemen launched an attack with mutual cooperation, followed by mortar fire support, Huang Kesheng's soldiers resisted desperately, and the two battalions in front and behind were also desperately assaulting, but the Japanese army did not bring much ammunition, under a burst of attack, it began to shoot a single shot, the accuracy of a single shot was very high, which directly hit Huang Kesheng's confidence, but Huang Kesheng was not discouraged, desperately attacked, and finally destroyed everyone in the Japanese army in the case of more than half of the casualties! The reason is that Huang Kesheng's regiment and Liu Xiaoshan's regiment are incomparable with weapons and equipment, coupled with the Japanese army's marksmanship and tenacity, even Liu Xiaoshan can't take advantage!

Songshan of South Road, located in Lameng Township, Longling County, Baoshan, Yunnan Province, belongs to the Gaoligong Mountain Range of Hengduan Mountain System, composed of more than 20 peaks and peaks, with an altitude of 2,200 meters above sea level. The high mountain cliffs on the east bank of the Nu River confront the pine mountains on the west bank, forming a moat of the Nu River where the waves crash on the shore and the peaks fly into the clouds. After crossing the Nu River via the Huitong Bridge, the Yunnan-Burma Highway circles more than 40 kilometers between the cliffs and cliffs of the mountain. It is the throat fortress of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and is called the "Oriental Gibraltar" by American military experts. The Gaoligong Mountain on the North Road is more dangerous, sandwiched between Longling and Tengchong on the North Road, the strategic position is very important, just like a big lock locked between Longling and Tengchong, known as the first mountain lock on the Yunnan side, it is a big obstacle for the Tengchong counterattack that must capture Longling!

"Report to the division, our intelligence department has found out the information of the Japanese army in Songshan!" Sima Hong took a telegram and read: It is the main force of the 113th Wing of the 56th Division and a brigade of the 56th Wing of the Field Artillery directly under the division, with a garrison of 3,000 troops, and a permanent garrison of 3,000 people. During the battle in western Yunnan, the former garrison captain Matsui Hideji Osaku led the main force of the wing to reinforce Gaoligong and Longling. The commander of the Matsuyama area was the captain of the 3rd Brigade of the 56th Field Artillery Wing, Keijiro Kanamitsu. At that time, there were about 1,340 soldiers in the garrison! "With such a small number of troops, the attacking force is more than ten times his, it shouldn't be a problem, especially our artillery!" Bangs felt relieved. "Not only these divisions, but also the Japanese fortifications in Matsuyama were reported: there were heavy machine guns in the main fort of the Japanese army, light machine guns in the sub-fort and side-firing fort, rifles, guns* and grenadiers in the communication trenches, and mortars behind the main fort. Use *, * at close range. Use a variety of direct-fire and curved weapons to form a dense net of fire in front of the position. It was very difficult to approach the fortress. In front of the obstacle and ancillary facilities, there are one to three barbed wire fences, one to two deer fences, laying* and traps. The site is equipped with water pipes and lighting equipment. The Japanese troops defending Matsuyama took advantage of the terrain to form positions in a planned manner and use tall timber to build strong fortifications. Make each stronghold capable of fighting independently. Its strength is equivalent to a permanent fortification of reinforced concrete! Sima Hong continued.

"It's just a pervert!" After listening to the deployment of these Japanese fortifications, Liu Hai was stunned, such a strong fortification, even if there are cannons, the attack effect is not much better, at least huge casualties are inevitable! "I'm going to see the commander of the guard, this battle can't be fought like this, I want to form an assault team composed of various arms, and launch an attack under the cover of absolutely superior artillery fire, this is the best way to reduce casualties and take Songshan!" After Liu Hai finished speaking, he rushed to Wei Lihuang's headquarters. "Chief Wei, please give me a few days to train and organize a commando team, only in this way can the casualties be reduced!" Bangs said. "It's too late, and it's not allowed, our battle this time was originally to disobey orders, but now there are huge casualties but no breakthrough, the chairman of the committee already has a lot of opinions, if we can't take Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain, and seize the initiative to attack Tengchong, then it's hard to say, so we must end the battle of Tengchong within a month! As for Matsuyama, my opinion is to seize it at any cost! Wei Lihuang said. But if you rush like this, the casualties of the troops are unpredictable! Bangs said anxiously. The situation is stronger than people, my Wei Lihuang's resignation is small, and tens of thousands of casualties have been killed and injured in order to force the battle, if the fight continues, then the blood of these brothers will be shed in vain! Wei Lihuang said helplessly. But you can't fill it with your life! Bangs said. If it doesn't work, it has to work, that's it! Wei Lihuang said.

"Ghost cannon, let me tell you, put your cannon with a shield, you can get as close as you can, and you must aim the muzzle of the cannon at the enemy's firing hole and fire!" Liu Hai couldn't say that Wei Lihuang changed his mind, so he could only find a way to think of a way to fire the artillery! But although Liu Hai tried his best, Wei Lihuang couldn't wait, and after eliminating the Japanese reinforcements, Wei Lihuang couldn't wait to launch an attack!
