Chapter 225: The Death of the Sixth Division (Part 2)
300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters. The Japanese army and the National Army have been fighting for a year, and they are actually very familiar with the tactics of both sides. The Japanese army has many veterans, accurate marksmanship, and many artillery. They like to start attacks from a distance.
However, the National Army had many recruits, poor marksmanship, and few artillery. They could only wait for the Japanese army to get close before attacking. When they reached about 100 meters, the Japanese army already knew that it was the key point, and the light machine guns immediately set up their light machine guns to provide cover.
.The grenade also exploded "dong dong".
"This Japs is so elite, and his tactical moves are very beautiful." Song Xilian said in surprise while holding a telescope.
"Yes, if we hadn't completed the civil engineering work in advance and set up our positions on the mountainside of the mountain ridge line, this battle would have been terrifying and difficult to fight." Deputy Commander Zhong Bin nodded and said.
I saw countless bullets hitting the positions in the Shanmen Grand Canyon, but most of them could only fly over the heads of the soldiers.
"Hit me!" Chen Ruihe, the frontline commander, shouted, and the sound of Czech and Mark gunfire suddenly resounded throughout the canyon. The soldiers of the 71st Army held Mauser rifles and gritted their teeth and fired at the enemies running fast on the opposite side.
"Nani? How come you still have such strong firepower? Was our shelling just ineffective?" Mitsuru Ushijima, commander of the 36th Brigade, the frontline commander, looked at the forward troops in disbelief as twenty or thirty people fell in one fell swoop.
The Japanese soldiers were stunned by the sudden blow. It took them a long time to react, and they quickly got down to fight back. Several squad leaders waved their pistols and ordered the grenadier soldiers of their squads to fire towards the mountain.
"Hit! Hit me hard!" Chen Mingren waved his hand violently, and dozens of mortars and infantry artillery behind him roared together. During this preparation time, Song Xilian had already asked the artillery to cover all places.
After the artillery mark was made, not to mention it was an important place like the mountain gate, thirty or forty artillery shells accurately hit the Grand Canyon. Shrapnel flew across the Grand Canyon and flames were everywhere. Together with the bullets shot down from the mountain, the people in the canyon were shocked.
The Japanese army seemed to be in hell.
"Quick, quick, get them out!" Ushijima Mitsuru shouted anxiously when he realized that he could no longer see the Himaru flag floating in the canyon.
"Pa" A Japanese soldier who was trying to crawl to the rear was knocked down by a shot. The canyon gradually became quiet. Several crows that had been hovering in the air quickly flew down and began to share this rare feast.
"Bah!" Ushijima Mitsuru dropped his telescope to the ground, pointed at the canyon and said through gritted teeth, "I...one of my squadrons, well, you Song Xilian, you are worthy of being General Eagle Dog, order, order to continue the attack!! Go!"
, tell the division commander to equip us with all the artillery. If they don’t have many machine guns, I don’t believe that this machine gun can stop our artillery. This little Fujin Mountain can also withstand our Sixth Division!”
Song Xilian saw another group of Japanese troops starting to attack the mountain gate. He smiled slightly and said, "This little devil is really smart. He improved his tactics so quickly."
Zhong Bin looked up quickly and asked, "Where are they? Military seat, aren't the Japs still the same as before?"
Song Xilian pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "Look, the Japs' shoes have changed from military boots to cloth shoes, and some are even straw sandals. This is for better mountain climbing. Also, the Japs know that we have many machine guns and have built fortifications."
, so let’s not bombard randomly now, but prepare to wait until we have figured out our machine gun points before attacking. Otherwise, the mountain should have been bombed to a great extent by now. I ordered Chen Ruihe to only use half of the machine guns, and to keep firing.
The Japanese were so surprised that they traveled across mountains and rivers to get to us."
There are a large number of machine guns in the 71st Army. On average, one platoon has one heavy machine gun and three light machine guns, including a large number of Type 24 heavy machine guns. This machine gun is similar to the Maxim heavy machine gun during World War I and uses 250 rounds.
The canvas ammunition belt has very strong firepower. The disadvantage is that it is inconvenient to move and can be easily targeted and killed by Japanese artillery.
However, in mountain operations, Japanese mountain artillery and infantry artillery were often unable to effectively follow the infantry in time. Heavy machine guns fired from a high position, greatly enlarging their range, and could easily suppress Japanese grenades, heavy machine guns and other light weapons.
The Japanese soldiers looked at the quiet Shanmen Canyon, gritted their teeth, shouted "Long live the Emperor" and rushed towards the Shanmen.
"Da da da da" gunfire erupted immediately in the mountain position, and countless grenades fell from the sky. The Japanese troops immediately fell to the ground and fired back.
"Haha, order the artillery regiment to fire at those machine gun points!!" Numata Tokusuke shouted loudly. The messenger immediately took the flag and sent the order to the hot air balloon flying high in the distance.
"Scope 300, direction 30-00, let go!!" the Japanese flag bearer shouted, waving the flag.
The Japanese 120-mm howitzer fired again, but this time it was no longer a random attack, but aimed at the machine gun points one by one.
"Boom" a shell accurately hit an earthen fort, and the machine gun fort that was spitting out flames just now was instantly turned into a huge crater.
"Damn, hide!!" Chen Ruihe looked at the bombed fortifications flying into the sky, shouted quickly, turned around and got into the air-raid shelter next to him.
"Haha, charge, kill all the Chinese people!" the Japanese officer shouted, looking at the silent and bombed position.
"Click, click, click!" Suddenly, a machine gun on one side rang out again, and four or five Japanese soldiers were knocked down in an instant. Two crooked handles immediately started shooting at the machine gun point.
"Baga, hurry up, throw the signal flare from the grenade." Several rounds of red smoke rose, and soon more than a dozen shells hit the point where the machine gun had just fired.
"Continue to charge." The Japanese troops stepped over the bodies of the dead Nationalist soldiers and rushed to the mountain gate.
"Fight, knock down the Japanese." When he saw the Japanese rushing into the position and the Japanese artillery fire could no longer attack, Chen Ruihe immediately shouted with a submachine gun and killed the two Japanese soldiers.
In an instant, countless Nationalist troops emerged from the hiding holes and artillery-proof holes everywhere. They saw these Nationalist troops wielding swords, pistols and rifles and started fighting with the Japanese troops.
"Grandma ****, you little devil, I will fight with you." A thin soldier rushed towards a Japanese soldier with tears in his eyes. He held a bayonet in his hand and stabbed at the Japanese soldier crazily.
"Haha, little kid, come on, come on, get up." The Japanese soldier knocked the soldier to the ground with the butt of his rifle and said with a smile. After that, he stabbed the thin soldier in the shoulder with a bayonet.
"Ah!! Mother!" The soldier cried immediately.
"Haha, he's crying. This Chinese man actually cried on the battlefield." The Japanese soldier laughed loudly. Two Japanese soldiers who had killed a Nationalist soldier next to him also came up and looked at the thin soldier and laughed.
stand up.
The thin soldier looked at the three bright bayonets dazzling in front of his eyes, and the three arrogant and ugly faces seemed to come from hell. The thin soldier cried and shouted, "Mom, help. Mom, help, I
I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die.” The thin soldier desperately pulled the fuse tied to his body... Yes, my mother died a long time ago. In Nanjing, my mother was already dead. Now, it’s
It's time to go find mom.
"He was calling mom. I understood. Haha, someone actually called mom on the battlefield."
With a "boom" explosion, the cry of the skinny Nationalist Army disappeared. Three Japanese soldiers fell to the ground. Several pieces of grenade shrapnel that flew into the sky slowly fell to the ground, representing the last roar of this skinny soldier.
——Wuhan
"It's been seven days. It's not easy. Song Xilian fought well." Agent Jiang nodded while looking at the battle report.
"Darling, Yin Guo also has the same surname as me, Song. Five hundred years ago, he could also be said to be the same family." Song Meiling smiled and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Jie.
Agent Jiang took over with a smile, "Li Zongren is currently deploying in Xinyang. It would be great if every unit could fight as well as Song Xilian and Xue Yue."
Song Meiling lowered her head and thought for a moment and said, "Darling, I want to go to Fujin Mountain."
Agent Jiang put down the battle report, looked at Soong Meiling in surprise and asked, "Darling, do you want to go to Fujin Mountain? There is a war over there."
Song Meiling stood up and smiled and said, "I know, but think about it, Darling, the Wuhan battle is our most critical battle, and we must use all our strength. You said that you are a civilian soldier and a national leader, and you must work together with ordinary soldiers."
We live and die together, and so do I. Although my air force can no longer protect our airspace, I still have my identity as First Lady. If I go, I can inspire the combat effectiveness of the soldiers to the greatest extent. Just let me go.
.”
Agent Jiang sighed, touched Soong Meiling's hand and said, "I heard that wherever the first ladies of the United States and France went, they were greeted with flowers and applause, but wherever you went, it was filled with shells and blood. I'm really sorry."
.”
Song Meiling patted Agent Jiang's hand and said, "Are we husband and wife? Why should we be like this? Then I'll prepare myself and I'll be over."
——Fujinshan
Song Xilian looked at the tattered trenches and asked Chen Ruihe next to him, "How many people are there in your division?"
Chen Ruihe sighed and said, "Our division has less than 3,000 people left, but you must not withdraw us, Military Seat. This Sixth Division has a blood feud with our 71st Army. You don't know that, Army Seat."
, several times the Japs rushed up, and we relied on the soldiers to hold down the Japs with explosive packets and grenades. However, the Sixth Division was also tough, and many of the wounded soldiers who stayed on our position also used grenades to pull us down.
Soldiers die together, damn it.”
Song Xilian sighed and said, "Fortunately, the Japanese chariots didn't come up this time, otherwise we would have been in even more trouble."
"Military seat, military seat, Mrs. Song is here." An officer ran over in a panic and said.
"Oh? My wife is here?" Song Xilian asked in disbelief.
"No, bah, I am a stupid person. I am Mrs. Chiang, the wife of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek." The officer quickly slapped himself in the mouth and said.
"What are you talking about?" Song Xilian felt even more that this officer was out of tune.
"Haha, Yin Guo, it's me. You've worked hard. I'm here to visit you on behalf of the Chairman." I saw Soong Meiling walking over in a military uniform. Soong Meiling actually had a heroic spirit when she put on the military uniform.
"Mrs. Jiang, why are you here? Does the Chairman know?" Song Xilian was so frightened that she quickly looked around, fearing that the Japanese army would launch an air raid or shelling at this time.
Song Meiling wiped her sweat with a silk scarf and said with a smile, "Chairman, you know, don't worry. I came to the rescue this time to see all the heroes and soldiers. Come, Commander Song, accompany me to visit your Fujin Mountain position."
Bar."
Song Xilian helplessly took Song Meiling to look around. Song Meiling looked at the bleeding and dirty soldiers, frowned, hesitated, stretched out her hand to hold the wounded soldier's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, country and committee members"
I will never forget you."
Seeing the mother of the country coming to visit, all the soldiers cheered, and their morale suddenly rose.
"Hmm? Is there any change on Mount Fujin?" Ushijima Mitsuru said while looking at the top of the mountain.
At this time, an officer came over pressing a National Army officer and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, this Chinese said that Song Xilian's military headquarters is in the temple on the top of the mountain.
Ushijima's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, damn Song Xilian killed almost 5,000 people in our Sixth Division. Our Sixth Division only had so many people killed when they fought in Songhu, but now they are here
This little Fujin Mountain is in serious trouble. Contact the aviation force immediately and blow up Song Xilian to death!"
Song Xilian looked at the sky anxiously and said to Song Meiling, "Madam, it's almost time. Get out of here quickly. It's really dangerous here." As he said that, more than twenty black spots appeared in the distance in the sky. Song Xilian quickly shouted, "Quickly.
, cover my wife and leave quickly. It’s a Japanese plane.”
Song Meiling looked at several officers around her who were trying to pull her away, and immediately shouted, "Why are you panicking? Stay calm. Do you want to tell the Japanese that we have important people here?"
Song Xilian watched the plane fly over her head and flew back. She took a breath and heard bursts of explosions coming from the direction of her military headquarters.
"Damn it, some traitor must have leaked the secret again." Song Xilian gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly, let the brothers prepare to fight. The Japs must think that I am dead. Let the front be defeated first, and then launch a counterattack to teach the Japs a lesson."
." He turned around and said, "Madam, it's really unsafe here. Please evacuate quickly."
Song Meiling nodded and said, "General Song, please take care of yourself."
Seeing bursts of fire and thick smoke rising from the top of Fujin Mountain, Numata Tokushige nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, order the troops to attack immediately!"
Song Xilian looked down the mountain with a telescope, sighed and said to Chen Ruihe next to him, "Look, I can clearly see their artillery positions, transport convoys, and some tented rescue centers for wounded soldiers."
.If we have heavy artillery, not to mention an artillery regiment, even an artillery battalion, we can quickly destroy these targets and give them a devastating blow. It is a pity that we have nothing! Alas!"
Chen Ruihe lowered his head, raised his head again, waved the pistol in his hand and said, "Military seat, we still have grenades, mortars, and machine guns. We will not lose."
Song Xilian nodded and said, "Okay, order the troops. Even if there is only one soldier left, I will kill the Japanese!"
This time the Japanese army launched an all-out attack, and all the battalion and regimental captains were on the front line. There were constant deaths of Nationalist soldiers and Japanese soldiers on the mountainside. Because Fujin Mountain is relatively steep, there were constant corpses of Japanese soldiers walking along the mountain road.
