Chapter VIII The Betrayal Section VII The Battle of Northern Hubei Encirclement (3)
The breeze blows away the smoke of the battlefield and the pungent sulfur ice, which makes it cool.
The sound of cannons and gunshots subsided. The night enveloped the earth, and even the occasional gunshots could no longer make the soldiers fuss. They leaned tiredly in the trenches, enduring the cold wind. They waited for the arrival of dawn, and then threw themselves into blood and fire again.
A dark cloud blew from the horizon, covering the bright moonlight and the earth became darker. In this darkness, a group of figures stopped and walked, carefully hiding whereabouts, and the long line made no sound.
A quiet night. The wind with moisture urged across the mountains, dark clouds dispersed, the bright moonlight shone again on the earth, and the figures had long disappeared in the craters and grass
The genius of the Kande greedily looked at the cold crescent moon in the sky. He turned his head to see his comrades sleeping again. Shen Dai was not worried about his position. The Chinese army launched a counterattack on the positions on both sides. However, they had never attacked their positions. The garrisons on both positions were suffering heavy casualties under the artillery fire of the Chinese army. The soldiers in the team were secretly glad. Shen Dai really hoped that this night would stay forever. As soon as the sky was dawn, the quiet world would be broken by blood and fire again. The captain of the team had told everyone that they would attack tomorrow, and he didn't know if he could see the moon tomorrow.
"Did you miss home?" The sudden voice scared Kamida. Looking back, it was Cao Changshanye standing behind him at some point. He shook his head firmly: "Don't want it, Cao Changshanye.
The soldiers in the team were more afraid of Shanye Cao Chang. He was a veteran who joined the army in 2018. He had participated in several bloody battles. The new recruits were respectful and afraid of him. When they first arrived at the team, Shanye taught them a lesson. He cut open a pregnant woman's belly, took out the formed child, threw it into the pot and cooked it, and then asked the new recruits to eat the pot of meat.
"Is that right?" Shanye sighed. Kamiyo saw that the fierce-looking Chang Cao's face was actually showing a hint of tenderness: "Youth is good, you can be carefree."
"Cao Changshendao was a little surprised. Shanye looked at the starry sky with a clear longing in his tone: "I really miss it, my mother, wife, and my child. When I went to war, the child was just about to be a month old.
Shen Dai was even more surprised. Wan Jin didn't expect that this Cao Chang, who enjoyed killing, actually had a wife and children, and he had such a fragile side.
At this moment, a slight sound came from the hillside. The imagination of Kamiyo didn't pay attention, but Shanye noticed. He listened with a serious expression for a while. After a while, his brows let go.
"The division commander has already given an order. Tomorrow we must break through the defense line of the Chinese army. Tomorrow will definitely be another fierce battle. Are you afraid?" Shanye asked again.
"Not afraid, the Imperial Warriors are not afraid of death." The answer of the Kamiyo is the standard answer.
Shanye did not answer, and Kamida suddenly felt that the brave Cao Chang seemed to be afraid of death. Kamida doubted whether he had read it wrong. At this moment, a gust of wind rushed from the left. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a ray of cold light heading straight to his throat. Then he heard Shanye's roar and gunshots coming from beside him.
"Run!" With a loud shout, gunfire sounds everywhere. Japanese soldiers who woke up from their sleep found groups of black shadows leaping into the trenches, and their weapons were harvesting their lives along the trenches, while another group of people rushed over the trenches and rushed into the depths. They kept shooting and killing the Japanese soldiers emerging from all corners.
"Boom". A red light emerged from the position. The fire point that had just spit out flames flew into the air. The splashing rubble was still flying in the air. More than a dozen figures rushed through the flames and chased and evaded Japanese troops everywhere.
"I rushed up to the poison! I rushed up! Good! Good! I'll ask him for me." Zhang Lingfu, who was watching the battle on the opposite hill, excitedly slapped the trench.
In order to counterattack, he devoted himself to the division reconnaissance company that he had always treasured. This company was imitating the special forces. The company commander Sun Lixin had been in the special forces, and after he came back, he trained the troops in the form of special forces. The combat effectiveness of the troops increased significantly. In this counterattack, Zhang Lingfu used them to take the lead and the Mi Brigade covered the two wings.
But it was a sneak attack, but the two wings were a strong attack. The artillery fire, composed of the division's artillery regiment and the brigade artillery battalion, completely submerged the Japanese position. The artillery fire that lasted for an hour knocked half of the sky red, and the smoke of gunpowdered dawn.
After the shelling, the Chinese soldiers hidden 500 meters away jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the mountain without saying a word. The bullets shot from the mountain were still sparse at the beginning, and the troops were about to rush to the mountain. The counterattack at the mountain increased, and the soldiers rushing in front fell frequently, but the soldiers behind still rushed forward without fear of death and entered the Japanese position.
Kanda was woken up in her sleep. The 105th Division launched a large-scale counterattack and regained two hills in one fell swoop, especially the hills, which could threaten the left and right wings. In order to conquer this hill, the Sixth Division paid a huge price.
"Organize a counterattack now!" Kanda was furious. He had no gains in the attack yesterday. As soon as the Chinese army counterattacked, he regained two positions, which made it difficult for him to take over. His order had just been issued. Colonel Muku rushed in with a telegram.
"The division commander, the army commander, launched an emergency telegram. The Lan 10th Division was attacked, and the five "" regiments were attacked at the same time. We ordered our army to act cautiously and stop the attack."
Kanda's expression changed drastically. Of course, he knew what it would mean to the Hexi attack troops led by him if the 39th Division and 58th Division were defeated.
"The 39th Division was attacked again? Where is the commander of Sumida Division? Kanda was shocked.
"have no idea
"How large is the attack of the Chinese army? How many troops are there?" Kanda asked while snatching the telegram from Kiku.
"I don't know, the telegram did not say it, but it seems that the situation is serious. In the direction of Dahongshan in the middle, the imperial army has weak forces. Once we break through here, our division will be isolated on the west bank of the Han River. The Chinese army can calmly mobilize troops to annihilate our army." Mujiu replied.
"Your Excellency, I suggest stop the attack immediately. The Chinese army will launch a counterattack at this time, probably to cooperate with the Chinese army in the middle of the road and Ishikawa's suggestion.
Kanda did not make a decision immediately. He walked to the map and carefully observed the enemy and us situation on the map. The Chinese army's counterattack tonight was different. In the past, it was only targeted at one position, and the purpose was obviously to delay time. However, this time it was different. It was much larger in scale, more troops were invested, and more counterattack points were more. The purpose was probably to echo the Chinese army in the middle.
"Turn into defense in the whole line, transfer this telegram to Hirarima and Uchiyama, and order them to stop the attack and move closer to us." After pausing, hesitating, his eyes moved on the map: "Telephone ordered Yamamoto to withdraw from the battle and go south immediately. We arrived at Huji within today and established a blocking position in Huji. Warn the Southern Chinese Army.
Shi. had some heavy drafting orders, and he vaguely felt that from now on, the battle that had been smoothly began to change. It is still unknown whether our army can return to the east coast of the Han River.
On the east coast of the Han River, the Japanese army stopped attacking across the board, and the command of the 101st Army in Lan Yundong did not immediately turn to the attack. The battlefield fell into a strange calm.
Yamamoto commanded his troops to run south, and further south, Guo Chu commanded the 86th Army and the 92nd Army to head north in two routes; the two troops approached quickly.
In contrast to the calmness of the west bank, the east bank changed its calmness some time ago. The sound of cannons shook the sky and the sound of killing moved the earth.
Just as Zhang Lingfu was sneak attacking but the slump was hard to climb, the counterattack commanded by Sun Zhen also began.
Just when Sun Lixin rushed up the slope, a Japanese cavalry walked to the bridgehead of the inn in a big way. The leader of the Zhongzuo had a very tough temper. The sergeant on duty at the bridgehead was slapped several times when he was not right. All the soldiers were startled. In the Japanese army, the cavalry was a noble military branch, and infantry officers of the same rank felt that they were shorter when they saw the cavalry officers.
In a rage, Nakasa ordered all the soldiers guarding the bridge to gather. Chief Cao hurriedly asked the soldiers on the post to gather. After all the soldiers gathered, Kozusa suddenly turned against him. The eight scattered cavalry turned into eight gods of death, and the sabers replaced the sickle and quickly harvested their lives. The Japanese soldiers were killed at the bridgehead before they even had time to react.
With a loud bang, the Inn Bridge turned into two sections. Zhao Hanjie led the special forces to quickly evacuate the bridgehead, met with Fan Chunshen, who was ambushing a mile away, and retreated southward.
Xiaobailong Fan Jieshen is now the captain of the first brigade of the Special Forces, with a military rank colonel. This colonel is much more real than the commander. It was obtained from the five-year life-and-death test, but it was not completely washed away by the bandit aura on him in five years.
The troops rushed five miles southward, crossed a mountain, and entered the woods, and Zhao Hanjie ordered a rest. At this moment, the rumbling cannons came from afar, and the quiet troops did not move at all. Zhao Hanjie smiled. He had already felt a wave of excitement coming from the tree.
At this moment, Fan Chunshen, who went out to arrange the warning, ran back. As soon as he squatted down, he excitedly reported and climbed over the mountain in front. There was a manor at the foot of the mountain. The inside and outside the manor were very vigilant.
"There are several cars parked in the glutinous yard outside, and a road extends from the manor to the mountain road. Captain, this must be a big fish."
The report of Qingchunshen made Zhao Hanjie feel disgusted. Zhao Hanjie knew that the Japanese were very nervous about gasoline. The corps were all riding horses below the corps, and only cars were available above the brigade. Moreover, the B-type division of the 39th Division did not have brigades. The division was under the infantry regiment. There were three infantry regiments under it. The ones who could use cars were probably the infantry regiment command or division headquarters.
"Let's go and see Zhao Hanjie get up and walk out. After leaving the woods, Fan Chunshen grabbed him again and pointed at the top: "The Japanese put a whistle on it."
"The Japanese are just stealing chickens and losing rice. Zhao Hanjie said that, and ran up the mountain. It was impossible for a whistle to stop anyone from their special forces team. Fan Chunshen must have been attracted by this whistle to find the manor at the foot of the mountain opposite.
