A bomb exploded in front of the position. A huge flame enveloping hundreds of metal fragments and violent air waves instantly swallowed up the three soldiers hiding in the foxhole. They didn't have time to make the last sound.
disappeared from this world.
This is the shell of the Meiji 38-type 150-caliber field howitzer fired by the Japanese army from a place three kilometers away. Since the Japanese army listed Matsuyama Pass as a key target of attack, Matsuyama Pass has been attacked by dozens of Japanese troops every day.
Due to the limited artillery of the national army, the counterattack force was very small, and the artillery shells were insufficient, so it could only be used at the most critical time.
Looking at the soldiers who continued to fall under the artillery fire, the Ninth Division Commander Zheng Zuomin showed a trace of anxiety in his eyes. He called Chief of Staff Hao Weiguo and asked: "Chief of Staff Hao, where did Chief Li promise us the reinforcements?"
Hao Weiguo shook his head and said: "Sir, I don't know either. The headquarters just informed us that troops will be coming to change defenses with us soon, but they did not inform us which troops they are."
"Playing the piano randomly!" Zheng Zuomin was annoyed, "How can we fight like this? We don't even tell which army is coming to replace us. Isn't this just messing up! You call the headquarters again and find out which army is going to take over.
Come and change defense, when will it arrive!"
"yes!"
Hao Weiguo quickly walked aside and shook the phone.
"Hey...Tianjia Town Headquarters? I am Hao Weiguo, Chief of Staff of the Ninth Division. I would like to ask when our reinforcements will arrive and which unit they will be?"
"What? The reinforcements have already set off and are almost here, the 300th Division? Okay, got it, that's it!"
After Hao Weiguo put down the phone and reported to Zheng Zuomin, Zheng Zuomin asked with a look of surprise on his face, "Is the 300 Division the same unit that made a fuss a few days ago and whose commander is named Su Rui?"
"It should be, right?" Hao Weiguo hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be unsure when he said: "If it is this unit, it means that the superiors still attach great importance to Songshan Pass."
"Um!"
Zheng Zuomin nodded and was about to say something, when suddenly a soldier stumbled over and said loudly: "Reporting to the division seat, the Japanese army suddenly sent three bombers and several tanks to bombard the 3120 Highland. The 51st Regiment
The losses were heavy. Commander Bai asked me to ask you to send support, otherwise the high ground will have to be defended...it cannot be defended..."
After the soldier finished speaking, he fell to the ground.
Hao Weiguo hurried over to check his pulse and found that the soldier had expired. He shook his head at Zheng Zuomin.
Zheng Zuomin remained silent with a sullen face. After a while, he walked to the corner and took off the submachine gun hanging on the wall.
Let’s go to the highlands. If someone calls, we’ll take the 51st Regiment there, do you understand?”
"Master, you can't go." Hao Weiguo was shocked and quickly stopped him: "I'd better go, you stay here to look after the house."
"Okay, stop arguing, it's settled."
Zheng Zuomin interrupted him, picked up a helmet on the table, put it on and walked out of the headquarters...
When Zheng Zuomin rushed to the headquarters of the 51st Regiment with the guard battalion, he found that the headquarters of the 51st Regiment was already empty. A guard left behind told Zheng Zuomin that the regiment leader Bai Runing had already led the guard company and all the staff officers
They all went to the front line.
"Everyone follow me to the battlefield!"
Zheng Zuomin led the guard battalions to the front-line position with a submachine gun. When they arrived at the front-line position, they found that the Japanese army, under the cover of four Type 89 tanks, were frantically firing at the position, firing shells from 37mm tank guns.
Explosions continued to occur on the position, and the soldiers on the position could hardly raise their heads. The Japanese infantry, under the cover of tanks, pressed forward step by step.
Bai Runing, the leader of the 51st Regiment who was hiding in a foxhole, suddenly felt himself being pulled aside. A familiar voice roared in his ear, "Bai Runing, why don't you organize a death squad to blow up the Japanese tanks!"
"
Bai Runing looked back and screamed in shock. He pulled Zheng Zuomin, who was standing behind him, into the foxhole with a single step. "Master, why did you come up here in person? It's too dangerous here!"
Zheng Zuomin ignored him and cursed: "Dangerous ass, you can't even deal with a few iron bastards. If I don't come here again, you will lose your position!"
Bai Runing's eyes were red: "Master, it's not that we don't think of a way, but the Japanese tanks are now more sophisticated. They are firing continuously three hundred meters away from the position. The Yin* brothers took the initiative to attack. They
Just hide in the dark and take the opportunity to shoot our brothers. In order to blow up these iron bastards, we have already folded in hundreds of brothers, and we...we really can't reach them!"
"You have to have enough even if you can't reach it!" Zheng Zuomin gritted his teeth and said: "Otherwise, if this continues, the position will be lost sooner or later. If you immediately prepare a group of death squads, and then organize the entire regiment's machine guns to cover them, I don't believe it can't be blown up.
These iron bastards!"
"yes!"
Bai Runing gritted his teeth and ordered to organize another group of death squads. This group of death squads consisted of ten people, divided into five groups. Each person was strapped with grenades and held an explosive pack in his hand. Their mission was to blow up three hundred meters.
Japanese tanks outside.
Looking at the ten soldiers in front of him, Bai Runing said loudly: "Brothers, I won't say much else. As long as you can blow up the Japanese Iron Bastard, you will immediately be promoted to a higher rank and receive a reward of 100 yuan. If you fight
If you die, I will take care of your parents and family! Set off immediately!"
As soon as Bai Runing finished speaking, ten soldiers rushed out of their position and moved forward covertly. However, their actions were quickly discovered by the Japanese army, and bullets like splashing water were swept towards them. Soon these soldiers were
After being hit by bullets, they fell in a pool of blood. Two soldiers were even hit by the explosive bags in their hands, causing explosions.
Seeing the rumble of explosions not far away, Zheng Zuomin's face darkened like a cloud, and he punched the earthen wall in front of his chest. He gritted his teeth and shouted again: "Bai Runing, organize another group of death squads!
"
Bai Runing was shocked, and almost cried to stop him: "Master, no, we can't let our brothers die in vain! There is a trap set by the Japanese in front of us, their purpose is to make us bleed dry.
!”
Zheng Zuomin was also anxious. He stared with red eyes and shouted: "Don't you think I don't know? But if we don't blow up these iron bastards now, how can we hold our position? Tell me!"
Bai Runing was speechless at this time. The Japanese's move was not clever, but it hit their weak spot. If they ignored the tanks in front, they would continue to bombard the 51st Regiment's position.
Slowly wear them to death. If you send people to continue attacking the Japanese tanks, the Japanese will slowly drain them of their blood.
Just as Bai Runing and the others were engaged in a bitter battle, Major General Imamura Konosuke of the Imamura detachment, escorted by several guards, came to the starting position located five hundred meters away from the 3120 Highland to watch the battle.
When he saw that the Chinese position was being bombarded by four Type 89 tanks, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Yo Xi, this is how we fight. We are going to use the tanks of the Imperial Japanese Empire to slowly level the Chinese positions. If they dare to come out, we will wipe them all out! Order Captain Herb to let him attack
If we speed up a bit, we must occupy this high ground before the afternoon... then our artillery can be set up here to bombard Tianjia Town!"
"Hai!"
Just when Konosuke Imamura was feeling full of ambition, a low buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky, and slowly the sound became louder and louder.
Konosuke Imamura became curious: "Hey... didn't the supporting plane just come back? Why is there air support again? Why are those air forces so diligent today?"
After a while, Imamura Konosuke felt something was wrong.
"No, this sound is coming from the north, it's not an imperial plane!"
Konosuke Imamura shouted, "Order the troops to prepare for air defense!"
Yes, his order was given too late, and soon a sharp siren sounded from the sky. This siren was so shrill that it made people's hearts start to panic.
"woo woo woo woo……"
Amidst the shrill sirens, four black shadows swooped down from the sky. They descended from the sky like vengeful gods of death emerging from the earth, and with the whistle of death, they quickly rushed to the 500-meter-high altitude.
At low altitude, they suddenly raised the nose of the plane, and then the black-brown bombs detached from their bodies and fell to the ground at high speed.
"Boom boom boom..."
In a deafening explosion, more than ten plumes of thick black smoke rose about three hundred meters in front of 3120, accompanied by a huge shock wave. The thick black smoke and huge shock wave swept away the soldiers on the 3120 highland.
They were shaken and staggered. One soldier who was leaning out half of his body was even blown out of the trench by the strong shock wave.
When Zheng Zuomin, who was shaken to pieces, slowly climbed out of the trench and stuck his head out to look forward, the scene in front of him stunned him.
More than 300 meters away from them, the four Type 89 tanks that had been lined up in a row had disappeared. They were replaced by huge craters. The largest ones had a radius of more than 20 meters, and the smaller ones had a radius of more than ten.
Domi.
There was originally a squadron of Japanese soldiers around them, but at this moment they disappeared without a trace like those tanks, and the lively gunfire suddenly and miraculously stopped.
"call……"
Just as Zheng Zuomin and the others were stunned, a plane flew over their heads at low altitude, and the red and blue blue sky and white sun flags under the wings were clearly visible...
