Four red flares were fired in succession. From the outside world, this was regarded as an emergency call for help.
But only the people in the Four Lines Regiment understood that this was telling their comrades that they were about to enter the final fight, and that the enemy was outnumbered and there was no room for change. They requested: All artillery fire should cover our outer positions, and they vowed to fight with the position. Survival or death.
This communication method of using signal flares to convey messages to the outside world was decided by Tang Dao himself when the Sixing Battalion was reorganized into the Sixing Regiment in Xuzhou.
In Tang Dao's original words: I don't want four red flares to rise into the sky, but if the members of my Four Lines Regiment really see this situation one day, even if everyone in my regiment is on that position, please comrades We respect the choices of our comrades.
Now, on that high ground, four red shooting stars are rising, representing courage and farewell.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Leng Feng, who suddenly stood on the spot, waiting for his decision as the supreme commander in the northwest of Zishan.
Leng Feng, who has the same temperament as Tang Dao and has always been decisive and straightforward, hesitated.
He really hesitated.
Tantai Mingjing is still on that position. Although he doesn't know whether Tantai Mingjing is dead or alive now, as long as there is no artillery fire, there is at least one percent hope.
Leng Feng knew very well that Tang Dao still valued his brother-in-law very much. For the Battle of Jinlong Peak Highlands, Tang Dao even used his "privilege" as the supreme commander for the first time and ordered 4 "Civet Cat" tanks to reinforce the 3rd Battalion.
This small tank that can cross mountains was originally firmly hidden by the Four Lines Regiment and was never used even when the war was at its most intense.
Because Tang Dao has always had the habit of keeping a hand of trump cards. As long as the whole group is not facing life and death, his trump cards will never be revealed. Only in this way, once the Four Elements Group goes all out, it will definitely give the opponent a huge 'surprise' .
But for the 13th Squadron of the 7th Company, Tang Dao made an exception. Four small tanks that had just entered training and were named "Civet Cats" were put into this battlefield.
Four small-caliber tank guns put great pressure on the Japanese army. If the terrain had not been too dangerous, the hundreds of troops invested by the 3rd Battalion and two **** companies would not have been able to break through the Japanese defense line by early morning.
The Fourth Army Regiment has sacrificed more than 60 people and seriously injured 100 people for this. Seeing that the firepower of the Japanese defense line is getting weaker and weaker, the breakthrough may be within an hour.
However, the four red meteors that represented "shoot at me" appeared, and their efforts were already too late.
Leng Feng's hesitation only lasted for less than a second. His eyes were fixed on the Jinlong Peak highland with flickering flames less than a kilometer away. A cold voice sounded: "The order is sent to the artillery camp mountain artillery battery. Our artillery battery, each gun has 5 rounds." Continuous fire, coordinates, our surface position on the Jinlong Peak Highlands!
In addition, the artillery battalion was ordered to support all the artillery positions of our battalion's heavy forced company, with 30 rapid-fire rounds covering the Japanese positions of our unit against the enemy. Tell them that more than a hundred officers and soldiers of our unit will arrive 70 meters in front of the Japanese position in 2 minutes. The signal flares Appeared, the artillery fire immediately extended back! "
“Batalion Commander, this.” Tu Yunsheng hesitated slightly.
"Now, I don't want to listen to any doubts, Tu Yunsheng, I just ask you, can your Qinglong Mountain Hero Class be the sharp knife that tears through the Japanese defense line." Leng Feng turned back suddenly, and the faint blood in his eyes was like beating in the distance. Flames.
"Reporting to the battalion commander, I represent the 2nd platoon and the 48 brothers of the Qinglong Mountain Hero Class, and I promise to complete the mission!" Tu Yunsheng, who was on crutches, threw away the crutches, stood on one leg, and replied with a low roar.
The 48 brothers he represents are all those who have served in the 4th Squadron. Some of them died, some retired due to injuries, and some were promoted and transferred to other platoons and companies, but their names are still on the 4th Squadron's directory. .
"Okay! It turns out that I can still give you 40 minutes, but now, I can only give you 10 minutes to break through the Japanese defense line and reinforce the Jinlong Peak Highlands. Even if Class 13 is dead, even if it is blown to pieces, you are so good You must also bring their bones and dregs back to me." Leng Feng's voice was as fierce as fire, and even people who didn't know him well should be able to hear the blazing anger in his heart.
"Yes!" Tu Yunsheng immediately turned around, lay on the thick back of Adong, who had been waiting for him, and shouted sternly: "Brothers in 2nd Platoon, look out for us."
Nearly a hundred elite soldiers quickly disappeared into the darkness!
“咻~~~~” A sharp howl resounded through the mountains in the darkness.
Standing in the darkness and looking at the raging highland battlefield, Yushi Okamura instinctively dwarfed. The Chinese's frighteningly accurate German-made artillery came again, but this time where would they hit?
Probably, it will hit the blocking defense line of the 5th Infantry Brigade!
Just as the thought just flashed through his mind, fireballs suddenly shot up on the high ground less than 700 meters in front of Okamura Yushi, and the high ground with a radius of less than 10,000 meters suddenly lit up like daylight.
At that moment, the expression on Okamura Yushi's face was as dull as if he had come home and found his conservative wife playing SM with the old servant at home!
The Chinese actually used more than a dozen artillery pieces to focus fire on their own positions. Why? Aren't there still their people up there?
The question about self lasted less than a second, and Lieutenant Commander Okamura Yushi understood.
It is true that there may be more than a dozen Chinese soldiers on top, but the number of officers and soldiers of the First Division is more than ten times that of them.
"Damn it, the Chinese are really too cruel, they even use this despicable tactic of mutual destruction!" Yushi Okamura said with a pale face and cursed from the soul.
But no matter how Okamura Yushi scolded him, his face was as pale as paper, and he understood that the Chinese tactics were really cruel and effective. The Chinese on the high ground were finished, and so were the imperial officers and soldiers who rushed to the Chinese high ground.
More importantly, the Chinese used ferocious shelling to tell every Japanese present that the highlands could be occupied, but only if they could withstand the endless Chinese artillery fire.
Is it worth it for this high ground with little tactical significance?
Okamura Yushi looked at the high ground that had become somewhat dazzling under the baptism of wave after wave of shells, with a look of despair on his face.
As the second-in-command of the 501st Infantry Regiment, he certainly knew the main cause of this battle, which had little to do with the Battle of Zishan. The First Division was now defeated across the board, which made this unimportant highland unexpectedly become the entire The fig leaf of the division and even the North China Front.
Capturing this highland would at least prove that the First Division had once invaded Zishan and not gained nothing. The Banshi, who had been beaten disgraced by the Four Elements Regiment, returned to the court. Unable to capture it, the newly appointed Okabe Division Commander and the outgoing Commander Commander Duo Tianjun collectively has an extremely disgraceful resume.
However, it was in exchange for the lives of more than 1,000 imperial officers and soldiers!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Continuous loud noises rumbled from further away.
Yushi Okamura knew that the Chinese had begun to use large-caliber mortars to bombard their own soldiers' positions that were in a mess. There were two infantry squadrons, two heavy machine gun squads, and an infantry artillery squad, with a total of 580 People, half an hour ago, the ministry sent a message that less than 200 of the entire army can still fight, and the battle damage rate has already reached 60%.
There is really no need to continue this battle. If it continues, all 2,000 imperial officers and soldiers will die here, and the reason for their death is just to cover up the shame of the two army lieutenant generals.
Thinking of this, Okamura Yushi's eyes gradually showed determination.
“Order the entire army to evacuate as soon as possible!” Okamura Yushi turned around and left the temporary command headquarters that was full of hope just now, and the faint voice continued to come out from the darkness. "In addition, try your best to take away the wounded soldiers who are still alive. If you can't take them away, leave the pistols and grenades and let them decide their own fate!"
Okamura Yushi should be very grateful for the wise decision he made.
Because, less than 800 meters away from his headquarters, more than 200 soldiers of the Fourth Line Regiment had already circled from the mountainous area to the side of the entire Japanese defense line. They only needed to advance 300 meters further to occupy the location of only two infantry detachments. The high ground completely blocked the retreat of all Japanese troops here.
Tang Dao finally adopted Ye Chenghuan's suggestion and ordered the first mountain infantry company and the first reconnaissance company. In addition to individual weapons, the infantry classes carried MG42 machine guns, thousands of rounds of ammunition, and only 5 rounds of shells for each mortar. At the cost of giving up at least half of its heavy firepower, the entire army, with light equipment, detoured 10 kilometers through the mountains and rushed to the rear of the Japanese army.
Their purpose is no longer simply to reinforce the Jinlong Peak Highlands.
Instead, revenge!
Since the Japanese army is willing to capture a high ground at the cost of 2,000 people, there is no need for you to leave, just stay.
Tang Tuanzuo also became ruthless. With his troops already stretched thin, he just pulled out the main company of the 3rd Battalion, two **** companies and two elite companies to surround and kill the Japanese army.
The shelling on the Jinlong Peak Highlands was not as violent as Okamura Yushi imagined, but the full 75 shells were by no means a bluff.
Most of the Japanese troops who had almost rushed into the trenches were torn to pieces in the fierce artillery fire, and their broken limbs could be seen everywhere.
After the fierce shelling, there were still about a dozen Japanese soldiers who survived because they were still more than 30 meters away from the position.
This includes Private Umehara, who has been working as a foreigner and did not stride towards the Chinese position like most of his heroic colleagues.
I blankly took out a severed hand from his body, and took out a soft and steaming thing that was an unknown internal organ from his helmet. Private Umehara vomited happily.
The complex taste that is full of pungent smoke mixed with the fragrance of scorching, and the superior soldiers of Meihara want to forget.
So much so that after the war, he rarely ate meat, because it would remind him of that night again, with steaming pieces of meat scattered everywhere and exuding the aroma of barbecue.
"Did we win? Where's the military flag?" A senior soldier who was obviously stunned by the explosion asked stupidly, pointing to the Chinese high ground just around the corner. Where did the military flag come from? Soldier Meihara didn't want to pay attention to this fool at all. The military flag had long been reduced to ashes in the Chinese artillery fire along with the commander Cao who was carrying the military flag.
But obviously, there are still die-hard elements in the Japanese army. Looking at the completely silent position in front of them, ambition is still visible in their eyes.
That position was captured by the infantry brigade at the cost of hundreds of lives! As long as they step up, the battle achievements are right in front of them.
"The Chinese people above must be dead. Do you want to go see their bodies? And the Chinese artillery may come again at any time. If you want to go, I won't go." Senior Private Umehara walked over. In front of Captain Tsushima, who could no longer die, he picked up the exquisite command knife in his hand and carried his body on his shoulders without being disgusted at all.
The Japanese army also has regulations that stipulate that those who carry back the remains of their commanders during wartime will have military merit.
The remaining dozen or so Japanese soldiers are basically in the rank of superior soldiers. Without a commander, he will not accept the leadership of someone of the same level casually.
At this moment, the sound of the retreating hand-cranked siren rang through the night sky. The remaining dozen or so Japanese soldiers looked at each other, picked up their rifles one after another, and followed the example of Private Umehara, lifting one in pairs. The body ran down the mountain.
The Japanese, who were only one step away from victory but could only give up, did not know that they had missed a golden opportunity.
On the position, there are four Chinese soldiers, four living Chinese soldiers!
Yes, when Tu Yunsheng and his men frantically dug around in the soft position, they finally dug out four young people who had fallen into a coma due to lack of oxygen in a bomb-proof cave that had been bombed. The moment one of them's slightly heaving chest judged that he was still alive, Tu Yunsheng burst into tears.
It's really difficult.
The battalion commander gave him 10 minutes, but he ordered the 4th Squadron to place the attack position less than 50 meters away from his own artillery fire.
That's 150 heavy pressures! Let alone 50 meters, let alone 500 meters. The air wave caused by the explosion of an 18-kilogram shell can make you lie on the ground.
As long as one artillery shell is slightly deflected, even if the distance between the four individual soldiers is more than 10 meters, half of the infantry squad can be wiped out.
Tu Yunsheng, who had experienced the defensive battle of Qinglong Mountain and fought as a duo of "Heaven and Earth" until the end, had never experienced any big scenes, but feeling the power of 150 heavy forces at such a close distance still made him want to fight. The whole body was buried in the soil.
It was a blessing from God. Except for 6 injured, none of the nearly 100 elite soldiers were killed in the crazy barrage of their own artillery. This also achieved a miracle on the battlefield. The Qinglong Mountain Hero Squadron that launched the attack later took only 5 minutes to break through. Japanese defense line.
Of course, it was later learned that these Japanese troops had received a retreat order a few minutes before the Chinese infantry launched the attack, and the heavy machine gun squad at the rear was retreating hastily. It was precisely because of the lack of sufficient fire suppression that the Japanese infantry defense line was Tu Yunsheng and his comrades will be pierced through in one fell swoop.
If it weren't for this factor, even if Tu Yunsheng broke through the defense line, the battle damage would definitely be several times that of the actual number.
No matter how difficult it is, it's not scary. What's scary is that you can't find the person you're looking for.
After entering the deathly silent Golden Dragon Peak position, Tu Yunsheng quickly found the entrance to the hidden tunnel, where he found 9 bodies and two piles of remains wrapped in military uniforms. They should have been 11 people, but the rest What about 4 people?
Nearly a hundred people searched the entire position. They looked through countless amounts of flesh and blood, but there were no fragments of their own military uniforms.
“Dig! Dig for me!” Tu Yunsheng thought of a possibility, and the happiness of regaining something could really shock him to the point of dizziness.
The Four Lines Regiment now has established standards for building positions. With sufficient construction time, the entire fortification system, in addition to tunnels that can protect against heavy artillery, will also have individual or three-man level artillery defense in the trenches. Hole.
This kind of anti-gun hole may not be able to protect against 105 howitzers or even 75 mountain guns, but it can definitely provide some protection to the soldiers in the trenches when the enemy suddenly shells them.
Tantai Mingjing, the former battalion headquarters communications corpsman, Tu Yunsheng, had met several times. Although he did not have any close friendship, Tu Yunsheng knew that the younger brother of Tantai Company Commander was very smart.
Will he take the people to hide in the shell-proof hole after firing the flare?
The result of Tu Yunsheng's blind guess came true.
The thinnest soldier 'Sparrow' is the only soldier with obvious vital signs. This is probably because his slightly thinner body has the least demand for oxygen!
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Fourth Line Regiment had all learned battlefield first aid, and they arrived in time. The collapsed shell-proof cavern should have been soft because the soil had been blown up, and there was still a certain gap where some oxygen could enter, including the Tantai Mirror. The other three, including the patient, finally resumed breathing after a period of frantic chest compressions and artificial respiration.
"Mirror, have I gone to hell? Why is the sky still red?" The third fat man who finally woke up was obviously still confused, and instinctively asked Tantai Mingjing, who was holding him and shouting.
“There's still a war! The bombs exploded loudly, and the sky is red!” Tantai Mingjing comforted with a smile.
But while smiling, the tears finally flowed down.
The third fat man's eyes were already a blur of blood and flesh, and the tail of a black shrapnel was still flashing in the corner of his eye. Based on Tantai Mingjing's understanding, even if a **** descended to earth, it would be good to save the third fat man's life. If he wanted to do this, It is absolutely impossible to see again with only one eye.
"Yes! Fatty, do you feel any pain? If so, come and have a cigarette. I saved you this for almost a month. Since you are a wounded person, I will give you an advantage."
Dunzi on the side wiped his tears while taking out a cigarette, and A Dong on the side quickly took a branch that was still lit and lit it for him.
His military service is longer than those in front of him, but this does not prevent him from respecting these new recruits.
In the army, strength is the most important thing. Whoever has a good record of killing enemies on the battlefield will be the best.
These new recruits were able to block the attack of more than 200 Japanese troops. This is amazing.
"Smoke, why don't you smoke? Damn it, you didn't tell me that I haven't felt the pain yet, but I'm really feeling a little bit right now." The third fat man smoked heavily and tried to calm down, but there was sweat on his forehead.
The soldiers watching were silent.
There are still shrapnel in his eyes, so it doesn't hurt. This little fat guy who fought **** battles all day and night is really a character.
“Little guy, don't hold on, just scream when it hurts, that will make you feel better.
Also, don't tell me that your eyes are not completely blind, even if you are blind, what can you do? Lao Cao will give you a test first. If you are different, you can kill the Japanese? "Boss Cao, who only had half an eye left, came over and patted San Pang on the shoulder.
“Besides, before the Japanese who killed your squad leader and injured you have not gone far, your son is here watching how the brothers from the 7th company killed them and made them bleed like rivers.”
“Uncle Cao, let me shout!” The third fat man tried his best to sit up and opened his **** eyes to look into the distance.
“You can just scream, baby, it's best if you can scare the devils out of their wits!”
“Oh my god, it hurts me so much, it hurts!” The third fat man who had been holding back for a long time screamed like a pig being killed.
Tu Yunsheng, however, laughed and patted Tantai Mingjing on the shoulder: "The 2nd squad will leave a few brothers with you. As soon as the brothers from the two guard companies arrive, let's watch the 7th company avenge your squad. The Japanese can't escape."
"good!"
Tantai Mingjing did not stubbornly want to join Platoon 2. It was not that he did not want to take revenge personally, but that after a day and night of **** fighting, all his strength seemed to be exhausted. It was not so much that he was in a hypoxic coma just now, but rather that he was in a deep sleep due to extreme fatigue. .
As a soldier, he knows that he does not need to be a support, but he must not become a drag on his comrades.
Tu Yunsheng's eyes were filled with admiration. If possible, he hoped to add the remaining four soldiers from this reserve class to the 4th class, including the three fat men who were at least one-eyed!
But Tu Yunsheng also knew that this was absolutely impossible. After this battle, the four soldiers were at least first-class. Not to mention the Qingshan Peak Hero Squad, even the 7th Company might not be able to retain all of them.
“Let's go!” Tu Yunsheng led the soldiers away from the high ground.
The climax of Jinlongfeng Highland is over, but the aftertaste is long!
Because there are at least a thousand Japs in these mountains and rivers, and they must pay a greater price for their irrational behavior.
Gunshots suddenly sounded!
Okamura Yushi, who had just led a team of escorts through a forest, suddenly turned around. His face was a bit fairer than when the Jinlong Peak Highlands were covered by Chinese artillery fire, almost comparable to the bright moon in the sky! (End of chapter)
