Chapter 146: Winning the Public House (4)

I will be banned next week, thank you to all book friends.

Compared with Fang Tian, ​​Zhang Tiansheng was still optimistic. The Sichuan Army had no ammunition and food at the South Heaven Gate before, but still had to attack. After the ammunition was gone, it used bayonets, and the bayonets were broken with stones and teeth. Everything they could use! After the tragic death, they still fought bloody battles. They could not die. After the sadness, Tian Min had to shed tears, he could only shed blood.

The Sichuan Legion held rifles without a single bullet, and most of them didn't even have bayonets. They tightened their belts and rushed forward to recover their positions in the face of the Japanese army's bullets. The division commander became a regiment commander, and the regiment commander became a battalion commander, and all the battalion commanders were killed in battle. The Sichuan Legion was still fighting. People thought very little during the war, and the living people thought a lot. After getting off the Nantianmen, the warriors of the Sichuan Legion became defeated soldiers.

"How can you miserably surpass the South Heaven Gate?"

Zhang Tiansheng was lucky. After his troops retreated, he happened to meet Song Yuhang, a general of the Central Army who was willing to accept the Sichuan Army.

So now no one can hear Zhang Tiansheng complaining, and no one dares to complain in front of Zhang Tiansheng. If Zhang Tiansheng heard someone dare to say bad things about Song Yuhang, then this person must have lived to the end, with clear grudges and loyalty greater than military orders. Zhang Tiansheng is such a person. The Sichuan Army is good at fighting, but he is also full of banditry.

The 54th Army and the mountain infantry brigade were struggling to intersperse. The 53rd Army in front of the Zhai Gongfang Pass had tried all its strength. The small troops broke through, exploded, attacked at night, and exited the tunnel. From the attack position to the near the pass, there were abandoned corpses of the Chinese army everywhere.

The Japanese defender Saito Masaji also changed from panic at the beginning to sitting firmly on Diaoyutai. The continuous attack failure of the 53rd Army made Saito Masaji feel unworthy of the previous panic. Not only did he frequently reach the front line, but he also commanded several small-scale attacks.

The war has stabilized, and Saito Moji changed his attitude towards Mizuma Takashigeyaku a few days ago. A major general actually wanted to obey a colonel. It was simply an unreasonable bastard logic, but Saito Moji could only secretly complain about this, because the order was issued by the commander of the front army, Lord Kawabian.

In the evening, the guns and cannons in Zhai Gongfang came to an end. Song Yuhang looked at the mountain hidden in the clouds and mist and was helpless. All tactics lost their effect in Zhai Gongfang. It was impossible to take shortcuts. The only thing needed was more blood and more life.

The fierce battle in Zhai Public House gave Katsushige Yasumi, who was in Teng County, also saw hope. Although the enemy and our troops were very different, at some key support points, the forces of the two armies were basically the same. This is the fundamental reason why the Chinese Expeditionary Force failed to fight in the bloody battle. Katsushige Yasumi was able to discover the problems in the deployment of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Wei Lihuang naturally knew! This was a situation where the brave men won the narrow road. Now it was compared to who could bear greater casualties and who was more concerned about his retreat. Who would be doomed to be defeated.

Wei Lihuang had no way out. If the Japanese army took Impal, then the expeditionary army under his command would also fall into a state of doom. Saving others and oneself. The unpredictable situation in the war also made Wei Lihuang at a loss.

On September 23, the 54th Army behind the Japanese army finally sent a telegram. Its troops and the First Mechanized Army Mountain Infantry Brigade had entered the attack launch area.

Compared to the northern slope of the mountain of corpse, blood, sea of ​​clouds and mist, the south slope looks very peaceful. Under direct sunlight, everything on the south slope makes people feel warm.

Saito Momoji focused all his attention on the north slope, while the relatively gentle south slope was not paying attention. When building the pass fortifications, his former son Kamei and he had repeatedly surveyed the terrain. Perhaps a few people could pass through it. However, it was impossible for the Chinese army to penetrate the land. Therefore, all the fortifications in the Japanese army were single-sided.

It's like squatting in a pit with a shield on his back. It seems to be very protective, but the butt is exposed.

The place where the Japanese kicked the butt was ready. Beipo was still the main attacking place where the 53rd Army was still the unit. Originally, Huo Kuizhang proposed to send a unit to cooperate with the First Mechanized Army. However, Song Yuhang politely declined.

The blood of the 53rd Army had already flowed enough. Now is the time for them to collect honors. Before, Song Yuhang did not want his troops to be consumed in meaningless battles, so he did not join the infantry to participate in the battle at the attack pass. So it was time to pick the fruit, and Song Yuhang could not stretch out his hand, and Song Yuhang did not want to divide the bitter fruit. He could not divide it even more.

The eve of the war was always quiet. Song Yuhang looked at Huo Kuizhang, Zhou Fucheng and his group of people were waiting anxiously, and they were some of them focused and stared at them, and some people were afraid that they didn't know what they were thinking.

Song Yuhang decided to go to the army to take a look, and the atmosphere in the command center was too depressing.

These days, the 53rd Army has maintained a frequency of attack intensity in order to attract the attention of the Japanese defensive forces. Song Yuhang seemed to notice that the Japanese army had been completely attracted. After all, the Japanese army had one more unit than in history, which made Song Yuhang unable to and dare not take it lightly.

In the small valley, Song Yuhang saw thousands of officers and soldiers sitting on the ground. The troops participating in the first wave of attack were Zhao Zhenfan's division. The officers and soldiers had all entered the position. They were told that they would receive the most violent artillery fire support today, and the Allies would send planes to bomb.

The troops Song Yuhang saw now were the second and third assault units composed of the 130th Division. The soldiers who were sitting in the front and resisting explosives were whispering intently, and they had no idea about Song Yuhang who was walking beside them.

A second lieutenant who lowered his head and strengthened his straw sandals with a straw rope suddenly found a pair of brown American military boots in front of him. The second lieutenant looked up along the shoes, frightened and jumped up and stood attentively, shouting: "Hello, sir!"

The nearby officers and soldiers suddenly started to rush into a large area. The soldiers who were far away didn't know what had happened, and they stood up and looked around continuously.

Song Yuhang, who was already used to all this, waved his hand and said, "Brothers, I'll come and see how everyone is ready!"

It is forgivable that someone in the Expeditionary Force did not know Commander-in-Chief Wei, but it would be impossible to say that he did not know Song Yuhang. There are at least dozens of legends about Song Yuhang in the Expeditionary Force, especially among the soldiers. He was born in a famous family, fought in the bloody battles of Tonggu, cut off his subordinates, buried the Japanese captives alive, chewed the Japanese invaders, and fought fiercely in Kunming. There were many beauties around him, etc. In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, heroes have to be matched with beauty since ancient times, and Song Yuhang can naturally be considered a hero. How can there be no beauty around him?

The Expeditionary Force and even the youngest lieutenant general in the national army were the most prominent symbols of Song Yuhang.

Ordinary local officers and soldiers are very awe-inspiring towards young generals from aristocratic families. They usually take a look at them from afar and brag about them for a while. Today, Song Yuhang approached them and found that the generals were also easy to get along with!

A little joke brought the distance between Song Yuhang and ordinary officers and soldiers closer. The officers and soldiers surrounded Song Yuhang on the third floor on the left and the third floor on the right. They chatted about family matters and chatted about gossip, and dispelled the depression and fear of the unknown that the upcoming war brought to the officers and soldiers.

The lieutenant who had strengthened the straw sandals before looked at the American military boots worn by Song Yuhang's guard troops and said, "Sir Song, your shoes must be very comfortable!"

Song Yuhang was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "It is more suitable for mountain combat than straw sandals. The Allies have increased their air transport capacity. I believe everyone can change their clothes soon."

The good news announced by Song Yuhang made the officers and soldiers of the 130th Division talk happily!

The time for the general attack was up, Huo Kuizhang closed his pocket watch and nodded at Zhou Fucheng. Zhou Fucheng took a deep breath. He had been in war for decades and had never been as nervous as he was today.

From Huo Kuizhang to Zhou Fucheng to ordinary officers and soldiers, they all knew very well that if the 20th Army could not fight quickly today and broke through the Zhai Gongfang Pass, then the 54th Army and the First Mechanized Army mountain infantry brigade that penetrated deep behind the enemy would fall into a situation where they were attacked from both sides, and the huge pressure of losing their troops and humiliating the country was so tense that it was so nervous that it was unpleasant.

The violent artillery that roared and violent shelling shocked the mountains. After more than ten minutes of the shelling, twenty-six b-24 bombers of the Allied 14th Air Force commanded by General Chennard extended bombings on both sides of the Zhai Public House Pass under the escort of thirty P-40n fighters.

It has realized that the Chinese army's attack this time is different from the past, and the Saito Masaji has mobilized troops and dispatched its troops. It is determined to block the enemy's positions on both wings of the pass.

The 54th Army and the Mountain Infantry Brigade lurked in the south slope had a simple division of labor. The mountain Infantry Brigade commanded by Zhang Tiansheng attacked the left pass, and the commando team composed of elite troops of the 54th Army, commanded by Fang Tian himself, was responsible for attacking the right pass.

The artillery fire had just extended. Under the leadership of the regiment commander Huang Chao, the 379th Regiment rushed up like a tide. The other two main combat regiments, the 380 and 378th Regiments followed closely and launched an attack. The division commander Zhao Zhenfan was a desperate bet. All the combatants from all the division fought in one go and started an attack.

Chinese soldiers all over the mountains were guided toward the peak pass in the military flag, and after a fierce battle some time ago, the fortifications, castles and firepower points below the Japanese independent peak pass have been removed. The only thing that blocks the expeditionary army is the two-wing pass position of Zhai Gongfang, which is hidden high in the clouds and mist.

In front of the hot firepower network of the Japanese army, the Chinese Expeditionary Army officers and soldiers shouted one after another. The sound of gunfire and killing sounds spread across the sky.

In front of the passes on both sides, the Japanese army had already cut a seven- or eight-meter-high side incline to prevent the Chinese army from attacking.

The 1st Battalion of the 379th Regiment, which was the main attacker, was blocked in front of the side inclined sides, and the corpses of Chinese soldiers were lying densely in front of the side inclined sides. Huang Chao, who had a hoarse face with a face of gunpowder, stared at the blood-red eyes and shouted at the first battalion commander on the walkie-phone: "Old Pu, you are a bitch, you're here to die!"
