besides.

The Takeuchi corps guarding the Matsuyama Mountain is the biggest enemy that the engineers have to face.

Fortunately, the Takeui Liaison Team had no heavy artillery long ago, and the heavy artillery brigade under the wing was blown up by Feng Yuntian. The heavy artillery troops supported by the division were now transferred to Tengchong to garrison.

The only small 92 cannons were also prepared and buried in the mountains.

And it is not on the back slope of the main peak, and the shooting angle of the artillery is very limited, so there is no way to hit the Nujiang Bridge area located on the front of the main peak.

The successive defeats of the Japanese army in northern Myanmar also led to the withdrawal of all Japanese aviation troops to the hinterland of Myanmar.

The Takeuchi Liaison, located on Songshan, does not have any air strikes or artillery capabilities, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of bridge repair by the Chinese and American engineering forces.

but.

Even without heavy artillery to stop the bridge repair, Takeuchi Lianshan would definitely not have just watched it. The engineering troops restored the Nujiang Bridge.

A fierce bridgehead snatch battle between the two sides officially broke out on the afternoon of July 3.

Takeuchi Lianshan first assembled the corps, and all the remaining mortars were on the top of the main peak, like the bridgehead on the east bank of the Nujiang Bridge for artillery attacks.

As a result, after one round of mortar shells was shot, only one shot caused substantial casualties.

A engineer soldier was killed on the spot and several soldiers around him were injured.

The remaining dozen mortar shells all passed through the huge gap between the iron cables and fell into the surging Nujiang below.

Apart from the splashes that were about 10 meters high, even a fish was not killed.

The first shot is usually a positioning shooting, and it is completely understandable that the accuracy of the head is corrected. The next artillery attack after the weakness is corrected is the greatest threat.

pity.

Takeuchi Renshan was a little too anxious and forgot that several artillery groups were stationed on the east coast.

The mortar position located on the top of the main peak of Nantianmen was just adjusted to shoot the world and ready to shoot for the second round. A shrill whistling sound came from their heads.

That is the wonderful physical phenomenon caused by the 75,105 shells flying through the sky and the air.

"Boom..."

A series of violent explosions sounded, exploding the main peak of Nantianmen to the earth. Even if the rain fell from the sky, it could not stop the smoke from soaring into the sky.

In a blink of an eye.

The Japanese mortar positions disappeared, leaving only the ground with broken limbs, twisted mortar parts, and Japanese soldiers screaming shrillly.

After this round of artillery attacks alone, even if the Japanese artillery reacted quickly enough, more than 20 Japanese troops were killed and injured.

If this casualty is placed on the battlefield, it will not be even a drop in the bucket, and no one will care too much.

But on the current Songshan battlefield, Takeuchi Lianshan felt so painful.

You should know that in the battle of the 71st Army, in order to block the 82, 83, and 117th Regiment's life-long attack, the Zujian Regiment also suffered considerable losses.

Although it did not reach 1,000 injured the enemy and 800 were self-destructed, hundreds of Japanese troops were killed.

Now, there are less than 1,000 logistics auxiliary troops in Matsuyama that are available in Lianshan, Takeuchi.

These twenty or so are close to 1/40.

The remaining 6 fortress groups are divided equally, and the combat power is almost 1/8.

But the pain is so painful, and what should be done must be done.

I know that once the Nujiang Bridge is restored, the situation on the battlefield of Songshan will become very unfavorable to the Japanese army, and will even affect the entire Japanese army in western Yunnan.

Since there is no way to stop the attack with artillery, we will send troops directly to the west bank of the Nujiang Bridge.

Takeuchi Renshan is very sure...

Now the water level in the Nujiang River is soaring, and no one or materials can cross the river at all. No matter how many expeditionary troops there are on the other side, they cannot cross the river to fight.

The Expeditionary Force guarding the Bridge was just fighting alone and was not the opponent of the main company at all.

In order to defeat the remaining troops of the 83rd Regiment and the 117th Regiment at the West Bank Bridge Head, Takeuchi Lianshan mobilized Japanese troops from various fortress groups in Songshan, assembled troops of more than 300 people, and launched an attack on the West Bank Bridge Head Head.

The Japanese army joined a large number of new recruits in 1944. Although the quality of the troops has declined to a certain extent, its combat effectiveness is still several levels higher than that of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force, which is also mostly new.

Not to mention the will to combat.

After various brainwashings during the Japanese army and various "jade-breaking theories" during this period of time, the Takeuchi ligge team has become a fanatical force that no longer wants to live and vows to live and die with Matsuyama.

Moreover, when these Japanese troops launched an attack, the Japanese fortress on the main peak of Nantianmen could provide firepower support.

Although the combat effectiveness and equipment of the Expeditionary Force guarding the bridgehead of the West Bank were inferior to that of the Takeuchi Lian team, they had an advantage in number.

It is twice as many as the attack on the Japanese army.

The fighting will is no less than the Japanese army. The Japanese were just the last madness of the beast-hiding battle, while the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force fought for the country and nation.

They also had the determination to fight to the end, but the objections to the battle were very different.

Not to mention the 82nd Regiment located in Yindeng Mountain, which will try every means to obstruct the attack of the Japanese army, and the Eighth Army on the East Coast will also provide full assistance.

In this way, the overall combat power between the two sides has basically reached a delicate balance.

It was past three o'clock in the afternoon.

The Takeuchi Liaison team launched the first ground attack, and more than 300 Japanese troops were divided into left and right wing formations and launched a strong attack on the bridgehead of the west coast.

At the same time, the heavy machine guns on the main fortress of Nantianmen began to pour fire into the Nujiang Bridge.

Including the 82nd Regiment and 117th Regiment guarding the bridgehead on the west coast, as well as the bridge repairing force located across the bridge, and the 246th Regiment stationed on the shore, the east became the targets of the Japanese army's attack.

However, other aspects are just involvement, and the main attack point is the troops at the bridgehead of the West Bank.

The Japanese army's firepower was very tricky when fighting at high altitude. The soldiers of the 82nd and 117th Regiments on the West Bank Bridgehead were extremely difficult to avoid the gun line even if they had simple fortifications.

As long as you emerge to shoot the attacking Japanese army, you will inevitably be exposed to the Japanese army's firepower.

But in order to defend this crucial bridgehead, the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force could not just hide in fortifications. They had to poke their heads out to stop the Japanese army from advancing.

A large number of casualties began to appear!

The 82nd Regiment located in the Yinding Mountain Position also paid a lot of money to support the defensive operations of the two brothers.

They had to withstand a large number of shells fired from the main peak of Nantianmen and backwards behind them in order to open fire on the Japanese army attacking the bridgehead of the West Bank.

When facing enemy artillery attacks, they usually hide in air raid shelters first and fight against shells. Even if it is just a 92 artillery with relatively limited lethality, this is not something that ordinary people can bear.

The soldiers of the 82nd Regiment also knew to hide, but in order to reduce the defensive pressure of the two friendly regiments, they could not hide and save their lives.

They could only fight back against artillery fire, no matter how expensive the casualties they paid.
