The Japanese invaders on Purple Mountain died peacefully.
At the beginning, the artillery fire was not violent. Therefore, no Japanese invaders paid attention.
There are only twelve howitzers. The rate of fire is not very fast. It is only about five rounds per minute.
"boom……"
"boom……"
The impact point of the shells is also uneven.
From Yancang Bridge to Purple Mountain, it is about ten kilometers. The range is very long.
Given the level of the Chinese army's artillery, it was impossible to directly hit the Japanese fortifications. Zhang Yong had no requirements in this regard.
Focus on one face coverage.
Use quantity to make up for quality.
Just keep your head down and fire the shells. Leave everything else to God.
then……
The shells would fall here and there. There was almost no accuracy.
Under normal circumstances, if you are lucky, you may kill two, three, or three or four Japanese invaders. If you are not lucky, you may blow up a hole.
However, there are many Japanese invaders on the mountain! The people are very dense.
As a result, the effect was amplified.
Because there were not enough fortifications, a small group of Japanese invaders often crowded together.
There were more than a dozen Japanese invaders in one small group! When a shell came down, they were all blown up into the sky.
After all, it's a 150mm artillery shell. It explodes one nest at a time.
It's not that the artillery shells are powerful. It's that the Japanese invaders are looking for death. The personnel are too dense.
Reflected on the radar map, they were just a handful of red dots, all of which suddenly disappeared.
Many Japanese invaders realized something was wrong and hurriedly dispersed. As a result, they were bombed into the sky while running away.
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
There were intermittent explosions, and the number of Japanese casualties began to rise.
After all, it is a 150mm howitzer, which cannot be carried by ordinary fortifications. Let alone the fortifications that were destroyed by the Japanese invaders.
In such a short period of time, the Japanese invaders had no time to repair the fortifications and could only use them on the spot. The results can be imagined.
The one stationed at Purple Mountain was indeed a regiment of Japanese invaders. The commander of the regiment was named Torajiro Iwai.
"Your Majesty Colonel, should we withdraw first..."
The chief of staff sensed something was wrong.
This is a large caliber howitzer.
The Chinese actually dispatched large-caliber howitzers, which should not be underestimated.
The current situation on the mountain is very unfavorable for defense. The Chinese artillery fire has caused too serious damage to them.
Under normal circumstances, a small number of troops should be left to hold their position, and the main force should be withdrawn to the blind spot of the enemy's artillery fire.
Wait for the enemy's infantry to rush up, and then the main force enters the position to fight.
This is the standard requirement of the infantry drill code.
"No need to panic."
Torajiro Iwai was very calm.
He originally belonged to the 108th Division. He was recently transferred to the 6th Division.
He took the Purple Mountain with his own team. This is a very good military achievement. It can help him go further.
He didn't care at all about the Chinese counterattack.
Since the Purple Mountain can be captured offensively, there will be no problem in defense.
Large caliber howitzer?
How long can the bombing last?
It's just a show. There's no need to be too nervous.
If you retreat to avoid artillery fire, you may be attacked by the Chinese. The Chinese only have the ability to make surprise attacks.
"Tie."
The chief of staff said nothing.
Therefore, the Japanese invaders who stayed on the mountain still stayed on the mountain.
Goodbye bombing...
"Huh?"
Zhang Yong also realized something was wrong.
They were clearly covered by heavy artillery, but the Japanese invaders still didn't run away?
His original plan was indeed to launch an attack while the main force of the Japanese invaders was withdrawing to avoid artillery fire.
Seize time with the Japanese invaders.
Make a time difference.
Take the lead in occupying the Japanese aggressors' positions before the main force of the Japanese aggressors enters the position.
There is no doubt that when the time comes, it will be a very fierce battle.
It is impossible for the Japanese invaders to give up their positions, and it is impossible for the Chinese army to retreat. One side must all die.
Unexpectedly, the main force of the Japanese invaders did not withdraw.
this……
It’s a bit unexpected!
There are good and bad.
The advantage is that the Japanese invaders were killed and their troops weakened.
The disadvantage is that the Japanese invaders are still in the mountains. There is no chance to beat the time difference. They can only attack by force.
what to do?
have no idea.
There is no other way at the moment.
You can only attack by force.
"boom……"
"boom……"
As groups of fires erupted, the number of Japanese invaders gradually decreased.
The originally destroyed fortifications continued to be destroyed by large-caliber artillery shells. There were almost no safe places to hide.
Purple Mountain, which was almost bare to begin with, is completely bare.
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Take the call from the 10th Artillery Regiment!"
"yes."
"Peng Mengji?"
"exist!"
"Have the cannonballs from Zhongshan Pier been transported?"
"Part of it was shipped over."
"Then keep fighting! Keep fighting until we run out of supply!"
"clear!"
"good!"
Zhang Yong hung up the phone.
Since the Japanese invaders will not withdraw, then use artillery fire to kill them.
What?
Move position?
No need. No threat.
Why choose Yancang Bridge as the position of the 10th Artillery Regiment?
It was he who repeatedly studied the air command map and confirmed that it was safe and that the Japanese invaders' artillery fire was not a threat.
Unless it was daytime, the Japanese air force would dispatch aircraft to bomb.
But, it's night now...
So, it's safe tonight.
Suddenly I forgot something.
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Take the call from the anti-aircraft artillery regiment."
"yes."
"Lei Xinghu? I am Zhang Yong!"
"Commissioner..."
"Arrange the cars and personnel of your anti-aircraft artillery regiment to go to Zhongshan Pier to help the 10th Artillery Regiment pull artillery shells! Guarantee the supply!"
"clear!"
"Go for it!"
Zhang Yong hung up the phone.
The anti-aircraft artillery regiment has cars. This is a necessary vehicle.
Those 150mm artillery shells are all very heavy. One seems to weigh more than 40 kilograms.
If it is carried on someone's shoulders, it simply cannot be carried over long distances.
The so-called mechanization is basically automobileization.
There must be more cars.
Including troop carriers, ammunition trucks, and tractors.
Looking at the entire battlefield of World War II, the only one that can truly achieve mechanization is the United States.
Every time the American soldiers go out and walk three or four kilometers, they always have to ride in a car. There is no such concept as two-legged or forced marching.
car……
Can the system provide cars?
By the way, at this moment, it would be good to provide twenty or thirty trucks!
It doesn't need to be too advanced. Just a car.
Foreign ones can’t, but New China’s ones can! Liberation and Dongfeng are no problem...
However, the system is unresponsive.
never mind……
It is estimated that the tank factory will need to be upgraded.
That's it. Let's get through it first.
"boom……"
"boom……"
Silently observing the artillery fire at Purple Mountain.
The radar map shows that the number of red dots seems to have been reduced by half?
Okay, okay, this is best.
I don't even need to do anything, I'll just take out most of it with artillery fire.
If the Japanese invaders are so stubborn, then they will flatten the top of the mountain ten meters!
Longing...
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
Huh?
Has the red dot started to move?
Start retreating to the south?
Want to avoid gunfire?
hehe……
In the end, you can't hold it anymore?
I thought you were really not afraid of death, but I didn’t expect you would be scared.
Ha ha!
Smiling proudly.
The time has come!
Prepare to attack!
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Answer the call from the 10th Artillery Regiment."
"yes."
"Peng Mengji!"
"arrive."
"Listen to my order clearly and stop the bombardment in twenty minutes!"
"yes!"
"Repeat the order."
"Stop the bombardment in twenty minutes!"
"Check the clock. It's seven and four."
"Roger that. It's seven and four now."
"that's all."
Zhang Yong hung up the phone.
Take out the Garand semi-automatic rifle.
Everyone else stood up immediately.
No need to speak.
I already knew what I wanted to do.
attack!
attack!
attack!
Either destroy the Japanese invaders.
Or die on the mountain.
Xixisuosuo...
Xixisuosuo...
Follow the trenches to the front line.
Outside the trenches, it was a mess. There were deadly dangers everywhere.
Zhang Yong rubbed his face, started running, accelerated, jumped out of the trench, then lay on the ground and crawled forward.
Behind him, other soldiers jumped out of the trenches and crawled along the ground.
In the darkness there was only the light of exploding shells, which flickered on and off.
There are no red dots nearby.
No mines sign.
It's safe for now.
The Japanese invaders haven't had time to lay mines yet. This is a good thing.
Get up. Get ready to climb the mountain.
The mountains that have been repeatedly bombarded by artillery shells have no vegetation, only soft soil.
"superior!"
"superior!"
Someone was shouting in a low voice from behind.
One by one, silhouettes climbed up the mountain, like spiders.
Climb and crawl...
Climb and crawl...
The Japanese invaders did not fight back for the time being.
Most of the Japanese invaders retreated to avoid the artillery fire.
The few Japanese invaders who stayed on guard did not notice the Chinese troops climbing up in the darkness.
Of course, this is because the distance is still far. There are still two to three hundred meters. If you continue to get closer, you will be discovered.
Climb and crawl...
Climb and crawl...
Sure enough, he was discovered by the Japanese invaders.
"Pah hook!"
"Pah hook!"
Sharp gunshots were heard.
Instead of lying on the ground, Zhang Yong stood up straight.
All other officers and soldiers of the Chinese army also stood up.
The cat bent his waist and climbed up hard.
"superior!"
"superior!"
The officer shouted loudly.
By this time, there is no need to hide.
The only thing to do is--
Take time!
Trade your life!
No one dodges the incoming bullets!
There is only one thought in my mind, rush up! Occupy the main peak!
Once the gun goes off, the Japanese invaders will also react.
The Japanese invaders would also return madly and start a bloody battle.
In fact, the radar map shows that the red dot moving southward is moving northward and is obviously retreating.
"Baga!"
"As expected!"
"Crack!"
Torajiro Iwai was anxious and angry.
Give the chief of staff a slap on the spot.
It was the other party who repeatedly persuaded me to retreat. They said the casualties would be too great.
Torajiro Iwai himself was unwilling to retreat. He judged that the Chinese would definitely launch a surprise attack under the cover of artillery fire.
really……
That’s it!
If it hadn't been taken down...
Baga!
"Kill Jiji!"
"Kill Jiji!"
Order the troops to fight back immediately.
We must not let the Chinese take the lead in seizing the main peak.
Absolutely not!
"quick!"
"quick!"
The Japanese invaders were running backwards like crazy.
At this time, the howitzer bombing had not stopped, and shells were still falling.
However, the Japanese invaders did not care about their own casualties and rushed upward with all their strength.
Seven twenty-three...
Seven twenty-four...
The shelling stopped.
Suddenly, Purple Mountain became quiet.
There are no more explosions of cannonballs. Instead, everyone's heart is about to jump out again and again.
Both the Japanese invaders and the Chinese army realized that the final fight was about to begin.
Zhang Yong changed his gun.
Replace Garand semi-automatic with Thomson.
Got to work.
Live up close!
There was a firefight with the Japanese aggressors at a distance of less than 200 meters.
A red dot appears...
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
A shuttle passed by.
Then take out the grenade and throw it!
"boom……"
A dull explosion.
The hiding red dot disappeared.
keep going.
Found the red dot.
It is also hidden.
Take the grenade.
Throw.
"boom……"
A dull explosion.
The shelling stopped, and there was no light on the top of the mountain for the time being.
In the darkness, it was almost impossible to see.
"boom……"
"boom……"
The grenades exploded intermittently.
Those are all Zhang Yong's masterpieces. Follow the pictures and blow them up one by one with grenades.
Those Japanese invaders who were hiding were sent to the Yingguo Shrine before they could see where the enemy was.
This is why Zhang Yong must lead the team himself.
Otherwise, it will waste too much time.
And time is the key to victory.
Once the Japanese invaders return to their positions first, it will be over.
Continue upward.
Zhang Yong found that his endurance seemed to be very good.
Climbing all the way up from the bottom of the mountain is not very tiring. The strengthened body is indeed abnormal.
The radar map prompts that there are many red dots ahead.
Oh, we’re coming up to the main peak.
He has climbed to the top of the Forbidden City...
wrong.
It is the top of purple gold.
However, it seems to be of no use.
The top of the mountain is relatively flat and the terrain is not dangerous.
Don't even think about the kind of thing where one man is the barrier and ten thousand men can't break it. On the contrary, it will be easy to attack but difficult to defend.
what to do?
I have no choice but to act haphazardly.
Take out a landmine and throw it towards the red dot.
Then he took out another one and threw it...
And again...
Throwing mines desperately.
Just right, there is a slight slope...
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, a loud noise came.
Then a large ball of fire broke out, lighting up the entire top of the mountain.
Oh, some Japanese invaders stepped on a landmine.
well.
Clear a large area.
It killed and injured at least a dozen Japanese invaders.
At the same time, the bright light of the explosion allowed both warring parties to see each other.
"Kill Jiji!"
"Kill Jiji!"
The Japanese invaders went crazy.
Swelling up like a wild beast.
The bayonet of Sanba Gai flashed with an icy cold light...
"kill!"
"kill!"
The national army also showed no signs of weakness.
The submachine guns in front are all held directly in front of the chest, holding the fire while moving forward.
Line up and move forward.
Advance step by step.
Tactics? Non-existent.
At this point, what tactics are there?
It is the most primitive action.
Push forward.
Overwhelm the opponent.
Either you die or I die.
Those in front fall down, and those behind take up their place.
Go forward one after another.
Like a tidal wave.
"Rumble..."
There was another violent explosion.
Mines...
Another Japanese invader stepped on a landmine. When it exploded, another large area was created.
However, at this moment, landmines are no longer the protagonist. Face-to-face fighting is the protagonist.
"Da da da..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Various submachine guns fired almost face-to-face.
The dense rain of bullets killed the Japanese invaders who rushed up in a row.
Almost no bullet is wasted.
Every bullet fired could hit the Japanese invaders.
No one knows how long it will take.
Everyone's minds are blank.
There are only enemies in his eyes.
There are only enemies in my mind.
Are you not dead yet? Then keep beating! Until you are beaten to death!
"Da da da..."
"Da da da..."
Czech light machine guns began to join the battlefield.
However, the area occupied by the national army is getting larger and larger, and more and more firepower can be deployed.
"Baga..."
"Kill Jiji..."
Torajiro Iwai was furious.
It's over...
It's over...
The Chinese people swarmed up and could no longer be driven away.
Failure has become a foregone conclusion.
Damn...
The Purple Mountain, which was captured only yesterday, was taken back today.
"Baga!"
"You're dead!"
It suddenly raised its command knife and hacked the chief of staff to death with one blow.
It’s all the other side!
The other party repeatedly persuaded us to retreat.
If there is no opponent, Torajiro Iwai will not retreat easily.
But now!
It failed!
It's all the Chief of Staff's fault!
"kill……"
Torajiro Iwai roared hysterically.
It frantically ordered the soldiers around it to rush forward. It also raised its command sword and moved forward crazily.
Crazy...
Its soldiers are crazy...
As the captain of the team, it has also gone crazy...
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Da da da..."
The soldiers who rushed forward were constantly beaten to death.
However, Torajiro Iwai still moved forward regardless.
Between escaping and dying in battle, it chooses the latter. It is a warrior of the Japanese Empire...
Suddenly, I felt like I stepped on something with my left foot...
"Landmines?"
"I was wrong. I am not a warrior..."
"I want to live..."
A brief thought flashed through my mind.
Then, everything disappeared.
As the landmine exploded, Torajiro Iwai and the Japanese invaders around him were all blown to pieces.
"boom……"
"boom……"
There were more explosions.
But the national army's mortars also came up.
Temporary artillery installation.
Free fire.
The shell landed exactly where Torajiro Iwai was blown to pieces.
As a result, all this was covered up by repeated explosions. No one knew anymore that a Japanese colonel died here.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Da da da..."
The last Japanese invader fell in a pool of blood.
It's really crazy. Not a single Japanese invader survived.
The radar map showed that there was no longer a red dot nearby.
The gunshots gradually stopped.
Purple Mountain suddenly became extremely quiet again.
There was only the sound of the night wind blowing.
"puff!"
Someone sat down on the ground.
But after the fierce battle, his body collapsed and he could no longer hold on.
There were also seriously injured people who slowly sat on the ground, and then made no sound anymore. They just slept quietly.
The battle just now was their last breath to support them. Now, the battle is over and it's time to leave.
With the joy of victory and satisfaction, they went to another world to continue fighting.
"ah……"
"ah……"
Someone let out intermittent moans.
During the fierce battle just now, I couldn't feel the pain of the wound at all. Now that the battle is over, the pain returns immediately.
"Commissioner..."
Crazy Qiu ran over.
He was covered in mud and blood.
I don’t know if it’s my own, the Japanese invaders’, or both.
"Withdraw!"
"yes."
Madman Qiu turned and left.
The national troops who occupied the main peak quickly retreated.
Carry away the wounded.
Carry away the body of the deceased.
Must withdraw.
Because the Japanese artillery fire will arrive soon.
The reason why we haven't been covered by artillery fire yet may be that the Japanese invaders haven't reacted yet.
The Japanese invaders probably did not expect that Purple Mountain would be lost so quickly.
Zhang Yong lowered his head and looked at his watch.
Exactly eight o'clock.
From the start of the battle to the end of the battle, about one hour?
It was indeed quite fast. He was also very satisfied with it.
However, this is just the beginning. A more intense battle is yet to come.
The Japanese invaders will definitely not give up. They will definitely fight for it like crazy. Purple Mountain will become a cruel meat grinder.
If you rush up, I'll cover you with artillery fire.
I rush forward and you cover me with artillery fire.
No matter who wants to control Purple Mountain, they will have to pay a heavy price.
"call……"
Sure enough, the sound of breaking through the sky came.
It was the Japanese invaders who came to retaliate with artillery fire.
