The collision between the Four Lines and the 21st Division on the Niangzi Pass defense line is destined to be tragic!

Although the Four Army Regiment only has more than 8,000 troops, it needs to defend the front line of all friendly troops. Once it is broken, more than 70,000 Chinese soldiers will be doomed!

Just as Tang Dao had to believe that the other five infantry divisions could block their face-to-face enemies, his friendly forces must and can only believe that the Four-Enterprise regiment could block this aggressive Japanese B Division.

The 21st Division also could not give up easily. As soon as they came up, they would sacrifice their division commanders to the sky. They had already put all the assistants of the 21st Division on the fire. They had no way out except victory. Otherwise, they would have been carrying family honors and would have been covered with their faces and returned home.

If neither side can retreat, then you will have to fight to the point where the sky is dark and the head is broken and bloody!

The tragic battle for the highlands in 209.1 is just a microcosm of the entire Niangziguan battlefield. In fact, in the entire flank highland of Niangziguan, driven by Hengshanze, in just one and a half days, the casualties of the entire 62 infantry registrar were as high as 1,100 people. Compared with the 4,400 troops under his command, the casualties rate was as high as 25%, which was even higher than the casualties rate of the two infantry registrars on the main position invested 8,000 troops.

Even Nagano Kameichiro couldn't help but take a breath when he heard the number of casualties. If he continued to fight like this, the entire 21st Division would be wiped out in less than five days.

Of course, although the Japanese army's high casualty rate did not conquer the high ground and positions controlled by the Four Rangers, it also brought unprecedented casualties to the Four Rangers.

In the unprecedented bloody battle on September 9 and the morning of September 10, 89 officers and soldiers were killed and 132 seriously injured. The entire battalion reduced more than 200 people, almost half of the infantry company was lost.

If you continue to fight at this speed, within five days, the Third Camp will be able to fight all the money!

Of course, the premise is that the 62nd Infantry Regiment can continue to have fresh blood input, otherwise the consumption speed of Hengshanze will only take another one and a half days, and the three infantry brigades under his command will have no soldiers available.

Since the war on the entire Niangzi Pass battlefield started, the total casualties of the Four Army Regiment did not exceed 600, and the Third Battalion occupied half of them, which also shows the ferocity of Hengshanze.

Tang Dao has already ranked the 62nd Infantry Order on the flank as the target of killing!

Another important defense line that guards the flank of the Niangziguan defense line 8 kilometers away - Weiluling. The 17th Division and the 39th Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division have been killed in the dark.

The Snowflake Mountain Highlands even fought a bloody battle that shocked both China and Japan!

The most tragic scene that Leng Feng of the Third Battalion once imagined became a real event in Xuehua Mountain!

After discovering that it could not stop the Japanese heavy artillery and infantry offensive, the colonel commander of the 102nd Regiment of the 17th Division stationed in Xuehua Mountain directly began to fight for his life!

You know, it was only half a day after the war started, an infantry regiment with more than 2,000 people began to fight to the death.

The trick of playing hard is very simple. You are a mountain cannon and a heavy cannon. I can’t defend the highlands! Then I’ll give it to you and ask if you want it?

If I have to be an infantryman, I will ask for artillery fire to cover it, and then at the moment of artillery fire, reinforcements will go to the high ground and occupy the high ground again.

To put it bluntly, it is exchange!

Your heavy artillery destroyed everything on the high ground, the fortifications no longer exist, and life no longer exists. So what will your infantry use to hide from the mountain cannons of my 17th Division?

Take the head and fight!

The 17th Division now has more than 16 mountain cannons, 24 82 mortars and 8 Type 92 infantry cannons. Although this firepower cannot match the 24 mountain cannons and 12 105 howitzers commanded by the 39th Infantry Brigade, it is not the same as playing.

A high ground, under such tactics, the two sides changed hands up to 8 times in a day, which also means that the infantrymen on both sides who went to the high ground became cannon fodder under the artillery fire of both sides.

That's the real cannon fodder!

The 17th Division's war history is clearly recorded. On the No. 6 Highland 600 meters away from the main peak of Xuehua Mountain, 268 officers and soldiers were killed, and no injured people!

Even if he was on the battlefield at the level of the infantry platoon, he was almost wiped out. The 9 infantry companies and 4 infantry companies under the 102nd Regiment suffered a loss rate of more than 80% in this cruel battle.

Under such a tactic, the Japanese army was also in pain and was helpless in the face of this pure exchange-style fighting style.

After more than 700 casualties, they actually captured less than 3 highlands. The main peak of Snowflake Mountain and several other highlands are still firmly in the hands of the Chinese army. If the casualties are at this rate, even if they eventually occupy the entire Snowflake Mountain highland, they will need to pay at least two infantry brigades.

Just the number of casualties, let alone looking at it, even thinking about it, Yoshito Takagi, the commander of the major general of the infantry brigade, could stand upright all over his body.

This made him begin to truly pay attention to the vulnerable opponent in front of him whom he thought was, but this alertness came too late, or even if it was taken seriously, it would have little effect. Unless he delayed time and kept the 17th Division until it was completely ammunition and food, this cruel offense and defense would reappear.

What this Northwest Army has never lacked is the tenacious will, but only artillery that can counterattack. Tang Dao tried his best to make up for this shortcoming.

Although I still can't provide enough protection for my own infantry, it's okay to beat the Japanese infantry, which is enough.

The 102nd Regiment suffered nearly 500 casualties in two days, accounting for one-quarter of the entire infantry regiment, but the number of Japanese soldiers killed was still above this number. This was an inspiration for the officers and soldiers of the 102nd Regiment.

It turns out that the so-called A-type division is like this bird, with a single and rigid tactic, but it is just that the cannons are bombarded after the infantry are rushing. If the infantry cannot rush up, they will continue to bombard the cannons.

This time, there is no longer only the blue on the snowflake mountain, and the "smoke yellow" that can be seen everywhere is also a landscape on the high ground.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially on the high ground where both sides fought for 8 times, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sea of ​​corpses and blood. As soon as you enter the position, the bloody smell like entering the slaughterhouse made the most tenacious soldier unable to help but cover his mouth and nose with a towel.

There is almost no place to settle on the entire position, and there are blood-red and broken limbs and broken arms everywhere!

Because the war situation was urgent, China and Japan could only do their best to take away the wounded soldiers, and the remains of the dead could only be left on the positions.

Then, artillery fire from both sides poured into the high ground that had been cut by 10 cm. After a day, the wreckage of nearly 600 soldiers who died in the high ground on both sides almost covered the entire position.

And by this time, after a large number of remains were burned by high temperatures, no one could tell who was Chinese and Japanese.

So at night, the Japanese army raised a white flag and sent a second lieutenant to negotiate, not on the outcome of the entire battlefield, but on the fact that they wanted to collect the body.

After the battle, 308 people were missing in an infantry brigade that was mainly attacking the high ground, which made the army colonel of the infantry brigade bow his proud head and pretend that he could not see the captain of the infantry brigade to send personnel to negotiate.

Originally, the 3rd Battalion of the 102nd Regiment in charge of the Highland did not want to agree, but once there were too many remaining limbs on the position, it was fine for a day or two. After a long time, it would easily breed bacteria. They would find their own comrades to bury them, but how could they have the extra energy to control the Japanese?

Secondly, the Japanese offered undeniable conditions, and they were willing to return the remains and equipment of the reconnaissance vanguards killed in the previous reconnaissance operations.

After layers of requests, the division headquarters, which is only 1,200 meters away from this high ground, sent an order: A medical team of the Japanese army that was not qualified to collect the bodies, and the division field hospital will also send corresponding personnel to transport the remains of the officers and soldiers who died in battle during the day!

So, on this moonlit night, the most strange scene on the battlefield appeared on the high ground of Snowflake Mountain.

The yellowish yellow color of a team of 40 people and the dark blue color of a team of 60 people actually passed by the same position. They were originally two types of people who should have fought for life and death, but miraculously, as if they had not seen each other, they were just burying their heads in searching and identifying on the position.

But this tranquility didn't last long. After all, the two sides had a dispute over the difficult-to-distinguish remains.

The Chinese do not want their comrades to be taken to the island country from afar, and the Japanese do not want their own tribe to be left in the distant China.

Don’t say that although there are Chinese soldiers waiting for guns and live ammunition around, the Japanese are still very tough and insist on their own judgment. Even though the half of the human leg is actually covered in blood and flesh and blood, and the high temperature is burned to black, there is no obvious Chinese or Japanese characteristics on it. However, the Japanese have only one judgment. The fat on this residual limb is obviously thicker, and it is definitely not something that Chinese people who can’t even eat enough.

This reason furiously made a captain and company commander in charge. The 17th Division had already gotten up in the past two months. Not to mention that the meat can be supplied for a long time, white flour rice is enough.

He immediately waved his gun: "This is the territory of my 17th Division. If I say no, then I will get out of here. If you have the ability, you will conquer the position tomorrow. You have the final say in this position."

After saying this, the tough-minded Japanese Army lieutenant was considered to have stopped the battle!

But in the face of this situation, the 17th Division had no choice but to use a stretcher to collect the remains of its own officers and soldiers, which they could distinguish, and carried them backwards. The division commander Zhao Shoushan issued a strict order. This time, even if all the members of the 17th Division died here in battle, he had to bury his soldiers in the soil and not expose the corpse in the wilderness like last time!

As for the rest, the captain company commander thought of a move and dug a large pit behind the high ground, buried it all here. Although there may be Japanese inside, they didn't care about so many.

This high and bulging tomb has been preserved for decades after the Battle of Snowflake Mountain. Because it is highly likely that it is a mixture of Chinese and Japanese soldiers, the tomb has no name, only a monument written by Zhao Shoushan himself after the war - Blood Flower Mountain!

Yes, this is a mountain stained with blood from both sides of the enemy and us. From then on, there will be only blood flowers, but no snowflakes!

It is also interesting for people from east Jin to come here to pay tribute in the future. The other tombs where Chinese soldiers were buried were filled with incense, liquor and cigarettes, but there was a ditch naturally washed out by rain in front of this tomb. One side of the ditch was incense, liquor, cigarettes, and even tanks, cannons, machine guns made of mud... But the other side was empty and deserted.

In the original words of the locals in Faluling: The naturally formed ditch is the trench, and our soldiers told us that they are fighting against the Japanese devils underground! No matter how we say we must support them!

.........

As for the 921st Division and 104th, although the 18th Division and 20th Division were facing each other, the number of Japanese troops was as high as 30,000, which was the largest direction of the Japanese army, the 921st Division had to get off the train and walk outside Handan City because it had cut off a large number of railway rails and sleepers, causing the 18th Division, which had been retaliated, to get off the train and walk quickly when it arrived outside Handan City.

When the 18th Division arrived at the 921st Division located in the mountainous defense line, the Chinese and Japanese sides on the other two defense lines were actually in full swing.

However, the Japanese army came slowly, and the 921st and 104th Divisions had more time to dig fortifications, and they cut off a large number of rails and sleepers carried by the railway. They happened to be useful at this time. A large number of anti-aircraft holes and back-sloping tunnels gave the officers and soldiers of the two infantry divisions the greatest protection.

The 8 105 howitzers of the 18th Division did not hurt the two infantry divisions as they imagined. Instead, when they resisted the 40th Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division, the infantry brigade only carried 12 41 mountain cannons in one artillery brigade, and in terms of heavy firepower, they were almost beaten by the 683rd Brigade in front of them, and almost failed to beat the major general brigade commander of the 40th Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division at that time to doubt his life.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Why is the promised "Tu Eighth Route Army" more exaggerated than the legendary German-Armed Master? Not to mention the 70mm infantry cannons of the Great Japanese Empire, there are 20mm machine cannons and 75mm mountain cannons. What's even more excessive is that there is 150mm heavy force!

The brigade commander Cheng Da's way of using troops was like a transformation. He first showed that the enemy was weak and threw three positions in a row. Seeing that the morale of the 40th Infantry Brigade was not as strong as he thought, his artillery support was not as strong as he imagined. He directly used a Tang sword to give it to the 683rd Brigade 6 150 heavy force that he had been hiding. In addition, he also asked for fire support from the division artillery battalion. A series of bombings directly sent away hundreds of Japanese infantry occupying their own positions similar to traps.

That was such a good guy. The 683rd Brigade swore to cross the Yellow River, fought dozens of battles of all sizes, and annihilated thousands of Japanese troops. However, it took a whole year to achieve the results. For this, three or four thousand casualties were also paid for. There were even many veterans who had experienced a thousand-mile transfer, but with this firepower output, they killed at least 500 Japanese troops.

If the battle lasts for a week, how many enemies will be wiped out?

The 40th Infantry Brigade was stunned by this blow. The attack behind him was no longer as aggressive as before, and even worse than the 21st Division they looked down upon.

This is the bad nature of the island people. When they meet someone who is weaker than themselves, they are even more cruel than wolves, tigers and leopards. But once they are sure that their opponent is stronger than themselves, they want to kneel down and call him dad!

The same is true on the 18th Division. The cannons were bombed, and the planes were laid off. The infantry said they rushed, but the Chinese were like Xiaoqiang who could not kill him. They also emerged from the position. There were light machine guns and heavy machine guns. You had grenade launchers on your side, and you also had them on your side. You used infantry cannons on your side, and you used mortars on your side...

Moreover, the condescending geographical advantage is really too great. The grenades thrown by the Japanese infantry to a distance of 50 meters are at least 20 meters away from the other trenches, but the long-handled grenades thrown from the trenches can be thrown into the offensive queue.

The two Japanese troops with the largest forces fought in pain and helplessness!

On the contrary, although the two Chinese infantry divisions in Yangquan direction were twice as powerful as the temporary detachment of the Fifth Division, their heavy firepower was far inferior to their opponents, and the battle was extremely difficult. Five high grounds were lost in two days, with nearly 2,000 casualties.

Fortunately, the mountains in eastern Jin are the most lacking in mountains. Two lieutenant generals quickly established a third line of defense, and could still block the Japanese attacks.

Therefore, the current situation is that China and Japan are in a bloody battle in the direction of Niangziguan, the battle in Xingtai is very anxious, and Yangquan is struggling to support it, so it depends on the army of China and Japan that cannot be held back.

But no one expected that the cruelest battle did not happen in the battlefield in eastern Jin, but in Dakouzidong Town, two hundred kilometers away.

The two infantry regiments of the 108th Division, plus various auxiliary troops, had a total of 8,000 troops, and rushed towards the headquarters of the Four-Road Regiment.

The remaining army of the Four Army Regiment is only one newly established infantry battalion for no more than a month and an arsenal mainly composed of technical workers!

The famous Battle of Bluestone Rock begins!
