The last infantry platoon of the 17th Division held its position, treating itself as fireworks soaring into the sky, showing the Japanese aggressors what it meant to be unyielding.
Kuroda Teru raised his head, shaking his head that was almost broken by the huge explosion, and looked towards the charred trench in the middle of the field, with a dull look on his face.
The wounded Chinese soldiers and their remaining weapons were all turned into fly ash in the high temperature caused by the explosive explosion. Except for half of the trench that collapsed due to the explosion, he could no longer find any trace of the Chinese soldiers.
If it weren't for the existence of the trenches, he and the more than 40 people under his command would probably have been blown into kites by cluster bombs by these completely crazy Chinese.
If all Chinese were like this, could they really conquer this ancient country completely? A trace of fear that he could not express flashed through Kuroda Teru's heart.
That was not because when he turned around, he found that at least ten of his subordinates had been killed and injured by the huge explosion, including even the reporter sent by the division headquarters. When humans are not even afraid of death, they still
What will you be afraid of?
This scene of Chinese soldiers smiling as they welcomed death has become an indelible memory for the remaining thirty people of the 20th Division, 77th Regiment, 2nd Infantry Battalion, 4th Infantry Squadron, 3rd Infantry Squadron.
But no matter what, Jingxing County has been lost. The Japanese 77th Regiment, which killed more than 160 people, finally captured the most important bridgehead in front of the Niangziguan defense area.
Japanese troops swarmed in.
The 80th Infantry Regiment of the 40th Brigade and the 80th Infantry Regiment of the 40th Brigade, which had been waiting for the victory of the attack by the 77th Regiment, quickly sent an infantry brigade to attack Snowflake Mountain through Jingxing County. The Infantry Regiment Artillery Squadron was reinforced with 4 mountain guns, 4 infantry guns and the 20th Division.
The 12 field artillery pieces assigned to them by a field artillery brigade followed up, plus the two infantry cannons assigned to the infantry brigade, for a total of 22 cannons. They were very aggressive. They were likely to pursue the victory and capture the Snow Flower Mountain position in one fell swoop.
The noble gentlemen of the 28th Cavalry Regiment, who had already received the division's military orders, whipped up their whips and set off after the 80th Infantry Regiment arrived at the foot of Snowflake Mountain. They rushed along the road towards the Niangziguan area.
The thunderous sound of hoofbeats could be heard even on the Snowflake Mountain position six miles away. However, the Chinese officers and soldiers who had already entered the position on Snowflake Mountain and were waiting for battle could only shout in vain. The rifles and machine guns in their hands were
We can only defend the railway, which is only a few hundred meters away from the front of Snowflake Mountain. If we want to block the highway, we can only use the 12 mountain guns of the division artillery battalion, which are more precious than human lives.
However, in order to defend Snow Flower Mountain, the mountain artillery battalion could not advance any further. The range of Shanxi's mountain artillery was nearly one kilometer less than the range of the Japanese Type 41 Mountain Artillery. If it was damaged by the Japanese artillery attack, Snow Flower Mountain would only be
If you can be beaten passively, then whether you can last for a day is a question.
Commander Zhao, issued a fatal order that Snowflake Mountain must be defended for two days, even if the entire regiment is wiped out.
Under the bunker, in the field of vision of Zhang Shijun, commander of the 102nd Regiment of the 17th Division, through the telescope, an infantry brigade of thousands of Japs had begun to establish a simple field position outside the range of the machine gun, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Even though the Japanese army only had 1,200 infantry brigade, it was twice as many as the 2,400 men under his command. However, Zhang Shijun, who had fought the Japanese army several times on the battlefield in Hebei, knew very well that the Japanese invaders thought highly of him this time.
On the vast plains of Hebei, the largest number of Japanese aggressors the 17th Division had faced was only an infantry regiment of more than 3,000 people. However, the result was that they were retreating steadily.
The overwhelming artillery fire made it impossible for the officers and soldiers on the plain to fight in an organized manner. Countless brave and fearless officers and soldiers just disappeared in the sky. Therefore, they could only retreat again and again, from Hebei to Shanxi.
.
However, this time, he could no longer retreat. Not only had the division headquarters issued a death order to hold on for two days, but
Behind them is Niangzi Pass, behind Shouyang is Shouyang, and after Shouyang is Taiyuan.
After Shanxi, where is next? Even Zhang Shijun, who attended a military academy, couldn't tell himself an accurate answer.
The battle of Snowflake Mountain is about to break out.
The 28th Cavalry Regiment is also advancing towards the Niangziguan area for reconnaissance in accordance with the orders of the 20th Division Kawagishi Bunzaburo. They will provide accurate enemy force deployment for the two infantry regiments of the 39th Brigade that will follow.
At this moment, Liu Lang, who was 20 kilometers away from the Niangziguan area where the war clouds were thick, had already seen Yuanyoshi Honggang sitting cross-legged and waiting for him in the open space nearly 300 meters around the top of the mountain.
Liu Lang held in his backhand the short-handled military spur that had been inserted into the trunk of the pine tree by Minamoto Yoshihiro Steel and belonged to the brothers who died in the battle. His face was expressionless, and he quietly looked at Minamoto Yoshihiro Steel, who was wearing military trousers and a white shirt, standing slowly.
Get up.
A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Minamoto no Yoshi Honggang's mouth, holding a gleaming samurai sword in one hand: "Liu Jun really trusts people. He actually came here alone by Honggang's invitation. Honggang admires him very much."
"If I were you, I wouldn't talk so much nonsense. Do you think you will make progress after a few years in the army? In my opinion, you are still a scumbag. Give me the burial place of two of my subordinates,
Only one of you and I will die here." Liu Lang's voice was colder than ever.
He could hardly suppress the killing intent surging in his chest.
Especially when he saw that the Japanese was even more pretentious than he was four years ago. Pretending was not impossible, but he couldn't tolerate people who were pretending to risk the lives of their comrades.
"Liu Jun is still so rude! If you want the position, of course you can, but you must have the ability to kill me first. Of course, I have to remind you that I will write the position on my chest. Don't let the blood get to you.
It's blurred." Yuanyoshi Honggang shook his head and sighed as he unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his chest, and there was a row of small Japanese characters written on his chest.
Yuanyoshi Honggang was despicable enough to tell Liu Lang with this hand, don't hurt my vital part, or even let me bleed in front of me, otherwise, no one will know where your brother's bones are buried.
Minamoto Yoshihiro Steel has even determined that the last five-man team led by Miyamoto Kazuo to escape has been destroyed. The independent group led by Liu Lang has a hatred for Japan that he cannot understand. More than two thousand imperial emperors froze to death.
Military wounded are an example.
Liu Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, staggered his feet slightly, and walked straight up. The distance of more than ten meters was reached in an instant.
Don't push if you can, this is Liu Tuanzuo's habit. Yuanyoshi Honggang's so-called psychological blow is not even a step away from Liu Lang, who has a mind as sharp as steel.
And Liu Lang rushed forward, and the military thorn in his right hand suddenly stabbed Yuanyoshi Honggang's chest. The sword went straight in, fierce and direct. It seemed that he was not affected by the position that Yuanyoshi Honggang just mentioned was written on his chest.
Of course Liu Lang will not be tied down by this. The burial place of his brother is in the three northeastern provinces. As long as he counterattacks the northeast one day, he will be able to find it. If he is disturbed by Minamoto Yoshihiro Steel's words and gives up attacking such critical places as his chest,
There will inevitably be deviations between shots. In the battle between masters, there is only a slight difference. Any hesitation may cost you your life.
How are you going to welcome your brother home when your life is gone? No matter what, the best thing to do now is to beat this guy until he can't even recognize him.
So fast, this is the most direct feeling of the person involved, Yuanyoshi Honggang. Liu Lang is more terrifying now than he was four years ago.
There was an exclamation in his mind, but Yuanyoshi Honggang's hand was not slow. With a slight flick of his wrist, a blade appeared and struck directly at Liu Lang's chest and abdomen. He actually did not dodge or dodge, and faced him with his chest.
Liu Lang stabbed his opponent with the sword in his hand.
It is not impossible to block Liu Lang's lightning-like thrust, but what happens after blocking the thrust? Liu Lang, who has already taken the lead, continues to attack, and he continues to block? If the two people are not much different in strength, the attacker will naturally
It will take a huge advantage, and the defending side will naturally have to work harder. If nothing unexpected happens, the moment the defending side is exhausted, it will be a fatal situation.
Honggang Yuanyoshi, who has been in the army for more than two years and has been on the edge of life and death, did not choose to resist. Instead, like Liu Lang, he chose to move forward indomitably, as if you poke me to death, I will kill you.
At this moment, what Minamoto Yoshikoro was stronger than four years ago was the courage to face death. He did not shrink back at the last moment like he did four years ago.
Even though the wind caused by Liu Lang's sharp sword almost stung his eyes, the knife in his hand still struck down steadily.
Perhaps even the most imaginative person would not have thought that if two super masters exchanged blows, they would die together with the enemy.
The training ground and fighting arena are always different from the battlefield.
And here is the battlefield.
If no one changes their moves, the next moment, the two super masters will meet life and death in one move. One will have his chest pierced by a military thorn, and the other will have his chest and abdomen vitals split open by a sharp samurai sword.
There are no injuries, only death.
No one can survive.
Liu Lang's eyes were cold and cold. If you look closely, you can see that there is really a layer of bloodshot eyes, like a blood-colored mist.
"Death" Duan roared and swung his left arm towards the blade, but his right arm still stabbed forward.
It was as if his left arm was made of steel and could block the sharp blade.
Obviously, that is impossible, and the final result will still be that the left arm is cut in two, and the chest and abdomen with the middle door open will still be split open.
But Yuanyoshi Honggang's expression changed drastically.
