Chapter 682 The Second Stage Task (Repayment 8/70)
Everyone in the supplementary group is busy training and digging holes every day.
Time always flies by so fast, it seems that in just a blink of an eye, 20 days have passed, and we have arrived on August 20, 1944.
In the past 20 days, the Japanese team and the Japanese have never launched an attack again.
In fact, they no longer have the strength to take the initiative and can only huddle in the fortifications and bear the attacks of various units of the expeditionary army in turn.
In this way, the training process of the supplementary group was not affected at all.
So much so that Hu Biao and others were like stuffing ducks into the heads of their child soldiers about how the soldiers fought and how to deal with them.
On the surface, this knowledge seems useless in the short term.
But Hu Biao and the others believed that as these child soldiers gradually grew up, this knowledge would one day be of great use.
Therefore, as time went by, the members of the Zhongzhou Team, who vaguely felt that they were about to leave this mission world, even reduced their training time in marksmanship, tactical movements, etc.
Even those cultural classes have been greatly reduced.
Instead, more time is spent cultivating the combat literacy and tactical knowledge of these child soldiers.
However, as time passed by, on August 20th, the supplementary regiment stopped all training and began to evacuate the position that they had held for many days.
Because in comparison, they have a more important thing:
Detonate the explosives and send the Japs on the main peak of Songshan Fortress to heaven...
As early as early noon yesterday, two large explosive storage rooms were dug out from the pile of rocks in the middle of the mountain.
The 6 tons of TNT high-explosive explosives from Canada were transported here more than ten days ago by planes, trucks, and manpower carried on shoulders.
Then, Qingshan and others felt great joy.
A total of six tons of explosives were loaded into two storage rooms, and the detonators and detonating devices were connected, waiting to be detonated directly.
So early this morning, General Wei and a soldier general led people to the nearby Zhuzi Mountain battlefield to watch the battle.
Other combat units of the expeditionary force are also ready for related attacks.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, all the members of the supplementary regiment also gave up their positions on the flanks of Songzi Mountain and came to Songzi Mountain.
Finally, at 9:15, facing Hu Biao's request, General Wei nodded and said it was okay to take action.
Upon seeing this, Hu Biao picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand, faced the green hills hundreds of meters away from the flanking position, and shouted:
"Big Mouth Monster, take action~"
The reason why Qingshan was so far away was that he was worried that the explosion would be too powerful and would affect him.
In fact, such an approach is quite necessary, because when Qingshan pressed the detonator in his hand, two loud noises like the sky and the earth were shattering sounded in the heart of the mountain.
The ground was shaking so much that even Hu Biao and the others who were far away felt it very strongly under their feet.
In the lens of the telescope raised by Hu Biao and others, the plume of smoke rising immediately below the main peak of Songshan Fortress reached an astonishing height of one or two hundred meters.
At the same time, whether they were 150mm heavy artillery or direct hits from hundreds of kilograms of aircraft bombs, they were all solid Japanese fortresses that could not be blown up.
At this moment, it was as if there was a huge spring underneath, and it suddenly jumped several meters high from the deeply buried soil.
All of the above illustrates that the main peak of Songshan Fortress, the enemy entrenched in this hard bone, is now completely doomed.
A few minutes later, in the smoke and dust that had not yet subsided, a huge cry of killing rang out.
It was the 3rd Regiment of the Honorable First Division, the 245th Regiment of the 82nd Division, the 347th Regiment and the 348th Regiment of the 103rd Division. The soldiers of these troops prepared positions from the surroundings and fought their way up to the main peak.
During this period, except for a handful of surviving Japanese soldiers who made sporadic counterattacks, the process of seizing the position was extremely smooth.
Finally, a brand new 'Blue Sky and White Sun Flag' rose from the top of the completely deformed main peak, fluttering in the mountain wind...
What needs to be explained is the honor of capturing the main peak of Songshan Fortress.
Last night, in order to show goodwill to the 'Hidden Dragon Clan', Lao Fang and others privately asked Hu Biao if he would like to help with the operation to obtain this main attack mission that was not dangerous but was extremely rewarding.
After some thought, Hu Biao decisively rejected such a suggestion.
Because the Battle of Songshan lasted for a long time, it does not mean that the participating troops did not fight bravely enough. They deserve the above credit and honor.
******
With the sound of "Ah~", Original Sin let out a big yawn.
Then, after taking a look at the hilltop position where the fierce battle was taking place in the distance, he cursed and yelled:
"What the hell! What the heck is that bastard in the system doing? It's already today. Why haven't our second phase missions been released yet? What is he planning to do?"
After hearing this, Hu Biao, who was also squatting on the ground and staring blankly at the battlefield in the distance, couldn't help but sigh.
The level of depression in my heart is simply beyond words.
Originally, Hu Biao thought that after detonating the bomb and seizing the position on the main peak of Songshan Fortress, the second phase of the system's mission would be released.
The result? Half a month has passed and it is now September 6th.
If we follow the original historical line, the Battle of Songshan will end tomorrow, and the second phase of their mission is still somewhat far away.
At the same time, the situation on the entire western Yunnan battlefield has reached its most dangerous moment.
The Japanese's 33rd Army is fiercely attacking the Longling area. Once the Japanese capture Longling, the hundreds of thousands of troops from the expeditionary force will be surrounded.
By then it cannot be said that another 'Savage Mountain' tragedy has occurred, and the situation will not be much better.
On the contrary, as long as the expeditionary force captured Songshan, the Japanese 33rd Army would have no choice but to retreat here if they did not want to be dumped.
Then, the expeditionary force can advance all the way and finally join the army stationed in India, completely opening up the lifeline of the Burma Highway and transporting mountains of supplies.
Therefore, when Songshan Fortress can be completely captured, it will become a crucial winner for both sides.
At such a time, even Shuangqing's bald head became anxious and kept sending emergency messages, asking General Wei to capture Songshan at all costs.
Even Chen Tuanzuo of the 309th Regiment of the New 8th Army was shot directly in front of the battle line due to poor combat performance.
The problem is that after the Songshan Fortress was defeated until now, even if only the final No. 3 Highland was left, it was still in the hands of the Japanese.
However, the garrison of more than 300 people, relying on perfect fortifications, prevented all the expeditionary forces' attacks from making any progress.
Troops were pulled up one after another, and even artillery and air force were dispatched to coordinate operations, but they still returned without success with heavy losses.
Fortunately, no matter how messed up the system is, there still seems to be some bottom line.
All the members of the Central Continent team were cursing one after another when they suddenly replenished the regiment in the tent that served as the regimental headquarters.
There was a rapid ringing of the phone, and it suddenly started ringing loudly.
At the same time, there was also a sound that was a scam in the system, which had not been heard for a long time.
What the heck! The second phase of this system mission, and definitely the last phase, was finally triggered at such a critical time.
