Sakhalin Island, the caves here on the Harlem Mountains have been dug by the Japanese army for more than half a month, and have been turned into interconnected tunnels. Countless Japanese soldiers are hiding in the caves. Now they no longer have the strength to
The momentum of the war, hunger, thirst and fatigue were tormenting them.
Harlem, which has a radius of more than 20 kilometers, has been surrounded by Chinese troops. All the passages leading to Harin Mountain have been blocked. The 50,000 Chinese army has surrounded Harin Mountain like a steel tunnel.
A week ago, the reinforced Japanese army, under the command of the newly arrived commander of the 58th Division, Matsumoto Taisho Division, drove more than 50 T26 tanks and launched a large-scale counterattack against the Chinese Marine Corps.
, it was true that the unprepared Marines were beaten back steadily at first. However, after hearing the news, the tanks and Stuka fighter planes of the 3rd Armored Division came and retreated in panic, leaving more than 3,000 corpses behind.
, since then the Japanese army has never taken the initiative to launch a counterattack.
After occupying Harlem Airport, China finally had a stable forward base. More than a hundred "Giant" transport planes and airship transport troops were working day and night to deliver massive supplies from Vladivostok to the front line. Harlem Airport is a short distance from Harlem Mountain.
It was only more than thirty kilometers away, and the Air Force's B17 heavy bombers could tip countless heavy bombs onto the Japanese troops who were just around the corner without any scruples.
On a surface position that was almost flattened by bombing, two Japanese soldiers sneakily crawled out of the tunnel. Their mission was to connect the telephone lines that were broken by the shells. The two ragged Japanese soldiers were thirty meters apart from each other.
They will slowly climb towards a hill next to the telephone line until they find the blown wire. At this time, a large aircraft with many gun barrels exposed on the outside flew into the sky.
A burst of fire flashed under the belly of the aircraft, and the location of the two Japanese soldiers was immediately shrouded in a cloud of smoke and fire. A few minutes later, the giant aircraft swayed forward again.
In order to provide continuous air support to the ground forces, Air Force Commander Gao Zhihang also specially mobilized six aerial gunboats modified from "Giant" transport aircraft and divided them into three shifts to stay over the Harlem Mountains to provide air support to the ground forces around the clock.
Any Japanese army that dares to show its face will receive their meticulous "care". Japanese soldiers even classify these slow-moving but abnormally powerful aerial gunships as more dangerous aerial killers than the famous Stuka. Its missiles falling from the sky
The rain of bullets from the mg42 combined with the 20mm aircraft cannon and the 37- and 75-mm caliber rapid-fire cannons is simply a nightmare for ground infantry. Under the "air gunship" equipped with an advanced targeting system, anyone locked by them
Neither infantry nor armored vehicles can escape their clutches.
This is how the Chinese army gradually accumulates the living space of the Japanese army, and wants to starve and trap them to death.
Another day of fierce fighting was over. When the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the top of Harin Mountain, the staggering Zhang Yanbo bent down and grabbed a handful of loose soil from the cement-like dust. He could clearly feel the
I could count dozens of shrapnel in the stone powder mixed with soil in my hand. More than a hundred bullets and shrapnel were embedded in a tree trunk less than one meter long. This hilltop was under fire for more than half a month.
After being flattened by two or three meters, it was flattened by several meters again today. It can be said that it has been completely soaked in blood.
The large concrete walls of the fortresses on the top of the hill are swaying like children's building blocks. The steel bars are exposed. Under the smoldering earth beneath these fortresses, thousands of Japanese soldiers are still buried.
Down below, during the siege, the Japanese soldiers desperately used simple tools to hollow out the mountain under the fortress and built several layers of narrow tunnels with thousands of perforations. A pungent smell came from the entrances of some tunnels.
The thick smoke mixed with the stench of rotting corpses.
After more than half a month of siege, Harlem Mountain had been tortured by hunger and thirst. It was like ghosts. The Japanese soldiers hiding in the tunnels almost lost the confidence to continue fighting, but despair brought about suicide.
The courage to attack, and the fighting in the complex and narrow tunnel system caused the attacking troops to suffer great losses. In the fierce battle in the tunnel, the Marines tried every means they could think of, and a large number of them
The battle becomes a hunt-like battle as you use grenades, explosive charges, flamethrowers and gas canisters to chase down prey hidden underground.
In a tunnel under the highest peak of Harlem Mountain, the commanders of the 58th Division, Lieutenant General Inoue Yoshio and Major General Sasaki, each in ragged clothes, sat on an ammunition box. With their haggard expressions, they were like two men on the verge of a desperate situation.
The beast's eyes shone with green light. After so many days of fighting, only more than 4,000 troops were left out of more than 20,000 people, and only the last few peaks of Harlem Mountain were still in the hands of the Japanese army.
, by this time everyone, including the private, knew that they did not have much time left.
Inoue Yoshio swallowed hard to moisten his dry throat, and said hoarsely: "Sasa-kun, let's jointly send a report to the base camp, let's talk about the entire Imperial Army of the 58th Division and the 155th Brigade.
Determined to launch a desperate attack on the Chinese positions this evening to serve His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor is on board and the Empire of Japan is on board."
Sasaki, who had a bandage hanging on his arm, nodded numbly. The Japanese army in the tunnel was now out of ammunition and food. If they did not launch a counterattack, I am afraid that in two days the soldiers would not even have the strength to stand up.
"Okay." Sasaki gritted his teeth and ordered the guards to take all the military flags and prepare to pour gasoline on them to hold a flag-burning ceremony at night. Then at night, he ordered the soldiers to abandon the tunnel and launch a charge.
On a flat ground outside the Harlem Mountain position, Cheng Kai was smoking a cigarette leisurely with his back against a tank. In this fierce mountain battle, most of the time, these armored units could only be used as mobile turrets. This made it difficult for them to do so in the past.
He was really a little depressed after being used to galloping around on the Siberian plains. Alas, Siberia is still great. Although it is a bit cold there, the Russian girls there are very enthusiastic.
"Tuanzuo tuanzu" a small cry pulled Cheng Kai out of his infinite thoughts.
"If you fart, just let it go," Cheng Kai asked in an annoyed tone without looking back.
"Regiment leader, guess what I saw just now." An officer wearing the rank of captain came over and whispered in Cheng Kai's ear: "I just saw a group of female soldiers at the division headquarters."
"What, female soldier?" Cheng Kai blew out a thick plume of smoke from his nose, almost choking him. He cracked his mouth and smiled and said: "Liu Tianhai, I said you were not kidnapped."
The shells blew up, but I still miss women so much. Where did the female soldiers in our combat troops come from? Or did you mistake some pretty boy for a woman?"
"Leader" Liu Tianhai was anxious, "Even if I am blind, I can still smell the male and female mosquitoes from three miles away. Those female soldiers have just got off the plane. I saw it with my own eyes. There are still...
Wearing a sky blue training uniform.”
"The sky blue training uniform" Cheng Kai was stunned. That was the uniform of the airborne troops. When will the airborne troops also recruit female soldiers? He expressed doubts and asked: "You didn't know how to control me when you were young, right? Airborne troops."
The soldiers are a strategic force directly under the command of the Ministry of National Defense and the President. When will a group of girls be able to enter?"
"Tuan Zuo, if I want to lie to you, let me go to the cooking class to take the blame." Liu Tianhai was so anxious that he swore and cursed, "No, look, aren't they here?"
"One two one, one two one, let's go together." A clear command sounded not far away, and a team of hundreds of people walked over not far away with neat steps.
"Bah!" Cheng Kai's mouth grinned like a courting hippopotamus, and the lit cigarette fell to the ground. The same expression as Cheng Kai's was the same as that of his group of stupid soldiers.
At this moment, they suddenly felt that what they saw were female soldiers. They were clearly a group of angels descending from heaven.
In the minds of people all over the world, especially those in the East, the phrase "war makes women go away" has always been a saying that men regard as golden rule. There are not no female soldiers in the army, but they are usually in the fields of nurses, communications, etc.
At least Cheng Kai has never heard of any army that allows female soldiers to mount rifles and fight on the front lines with men, but today's scene completely broke Cheng Kai's previous experience.
creed.
At this time, a female officer leading the team walked up to Cheng Kai and gave a standard military salute. She said crisply: "Reporting to the commander, the commander of the second battalion of the 366th Regiment of the 2nd Airborne Division."
Mi Xiaonuo and his troops were ordered to come to garrison and ask for instructions from the superior."
"Sir, sir," Liu Tianhai on the side poked Cheng Kai in the waist.
"Ah, uh, hello, Major Mi, you are the reinforcements who were ordered to station with us at this line of defense." Cheng Kai finally stuttered out a complete sentence when he came back to his senses.
"Yes, we just got off the plane today, and the order we received is to cooperate with your 7th Armored Regiment to defend this line of defense," the female major said in a straight tone.
Cheng Kai's eyes were moist, and he suddenly felt like the ground was shaking. What the hell is this? It's true that he likes to see beautiful women, but it doesn't mean that he likes to lead women to fight. Master,
What does the 7th Armored Regiment think it is? A nanny? There are more than 300 female soldiers in this team. Damn it, how can we fight?
"Sir," the female major with a pair of thick sword eyebrows that is rare for women frowned: "Sir, you seem to have some opinions on our arrival."
