The Japanese airborne series that was so slack that it exploded did leave a considerable psychological shadow on the Chinese soldiers on the scene.

But it is undeniable that the Japanese's slutty operations have inexplicably increased the confidence of winning to the Chinese soldiers on the scene.

It’s probably because the Japanese are acting stupid enough!

The bloody battle between Zhang Gushan in time and space is inevitable again.

However, this time the protagonist was replaced by the 74th Army to the 4th Army, and the direct troops under the commander Xue made a brilliant debut.

The 4th Army is indeed the unit that started with the commander Xue surnamed, and it is also the first army of the Guangdong Army that has had the "Iron Army". Not to mention whether the officers and soldiers are firm in fighting attitudes, the firepower alone makes the officers and soldiers of the 43rd Army who stayed three miles outside the battlefield amazed.

The 4th Army actually had an artillery regiment. The spectacularity of more than 30 75 mountain cannons and 150 mortars firing together was far beyond the reach of the 40 mortars that the commander Wang Da made up for.

The shelling lasted for a full hour, completely shrouding Zhang Gushan in the smoke of gunpowder!

It was only 28 hours before the Japanese army occupied Zhang Gushan. Even if they brought excavators, they would not be able to dig out such solid fortifications! Maybe this crazy round of artillery bombardment could send him to hell.

There were no less than 10,000 Chinese officers and soldiers who thought like this, and even Brigade Commander Wang Da, who was watching the battle from afar, sighed so much. Even if Comrade Guo didn't quite understand his views, his expression also revealed that this battle might end without waiting until dusk.

Only Tang Dao has a serious face.

Others don't know, but he knows how outstanding the Japanese civil fortifications are, especially at this moment when life is at stake.

In the battle of Guanjiaao in time and space, the 80th Army was so determined that it used thousands of people to attack, but it could not wipe out a Japanese infantry brigade with only five or six hundred troops. It only took one night to build defensive fortifications.

Although the most important reason is that the Eighty Army has no artillery for attacking, it is undeniable that the Japanese's civil fortifications are top in the world.

Sure enough, as the shelling began to become sparse, the 4th Army, as the vanguard, had nearly 2,000 soldiers, and was stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army as soon as they reached the attack site.

It cannot be said that this infantry regiment is not brave enough. In less than 20 minutes, deep blue corpses were lodged everywhere in the telescope of a group of Chinese soldiers' telescopes.

The Chinese generals and schoolmen, standing among the trenches on the mountain, were gasping for breath. Brigade Commander Wang, who had just won a big victory, was even more stunned.

Only then did he know how lucky he won the battle in Leimingxia yesterday. If the Japanese army had not been rushing to break through and choose to fight to the death, and had huge geographical advantages, I'm afraid that the price he paid for the 4,000 Japanese army would not be able to bear.

Comrade Lao Guo's face was extremely gloomy: "The Japanese invaders who resisted stubbornly are indeed dangerous!"

According to post-war statistics, in just the first wave of attacks, this vanguard regiment affiliated to the 4th Army killed 389 people, injured more than 400 people, and the casualty rate was as high as more than 30%.

However, the 4th Army is indeed a tough character, fully adhering to the tough fighting characteristics of the commander named Xue. He was repelled in the first wave of attack and immediately used an infantry and artillery coordinated attack of less than 200 meters.

The sound of guns and cannons on the battlefield stopped for less than 10 minutes and was swallowed up by a huge roar again. Countless dark blues were advancing towards the Japanese defense line as the barrage progressed.

In addition, the 4th Army also organized dozens of heavy machine guns to cover firepower on both wings of each position, and the crazy bullet output sound was no less than that of artillery bombardment.

Eight 37mm war defense artillery were even transferred by the commander who was also a little crazy to an area less than 1,000 meters away from the frontier position, and bombarded the firepower points exposed in the last round of attack by the Japanese army.

On the other hand, although the Japanese army also had counterattacks from infantry artillery and mountain artillery, since the distance between the two sides was not far, almost all within the opponent's range, the 4th Army's artillery group that did not fire artillery has been paying close attention to the opponent's artillery positions.

Although the Japanese artillery area cannot be accurately positioned, this time it is because the number of artillery exceeds that of the opponent and suppresses people with its power. Even if the opponent cannot be destroyed, it can also put great psychological pressure on the opponent.

The 106th Division faced more than Zhang Gushan's attack. In fact, from 11 a.m., at least four infantry divisions launched attacks on the 106th Division's temporary defense ground from all directions.

Originally, the 106th Division lost two artillery brigades to attack 24 mountain artillery pieces in the battle yesterday when they were burning hard but lost. This was beaten up by a group, and the remaining four artillery brigades of 48 mountain artillery fire had to be distributed everywhere. It seemed a little weak, and the artillery fire that was suppressed and able to counterattack was even more intermittent.

Moreover, news came from the front line that the lieutenant general commander of the 4th Army actually brought his guard company less than 600 meters behind the front line. The major general brigade commander arrived at the front line with pistols, and the colonel commander personally led the team to the battlefield.

In fact, the second wave of attacks was a decisive battle.

Faced with such an attack of strength, the generals and captains of the Sichuan Army really couldn't think of how the Japanese could block it or how they could block it.

In fact, as the highest commander of Zhanggushan defense line, Major General Shan Digan, the commander of the 111th Brigade of the 106th Division, was already desperate yesterday.

However, in despair, this person's ferocity aroused. It was under his personal supervision and participation in the excavation that more than 3,800 Japanese infantry and an engineer squadron on the entire defense line built a 3,800-meter-long, 1.5-meter-deep and no less than 800 individual hidden artillery holes, and more than 100 mountain defense lines that can accommodate medium-sized hidden artillery holes at the squad level within 20 hours!

Even with the help of the deep and dense woods in the mountains of Ganzhou Province, a machine gun castle was built with wood and stone in the woodlands. As long as it was not hit by a 75mm mountain cannon or a 37mm war defense cannon, it would basically not be damaged.

With this efficiency, it can only be said that human potential is really infinite. I guess even Major General Shandigen did not expect that his subordinates could be so outstanding!

The Japanese army, who were forced to a desperate situation, built a position that was enough to prevent small-caliber artillery, which was definitely a disaster for the 4th Army, which was sacrificing its life to attack.

The second wave was the decisive attack of the army commander personally supervised the battle. Although the regiment brigade commander led the attack, it was determined enough that it even attacked the Japanese trenches for a while, but it still retreated after 40 minutes.

This wave was even more tragic. The colonel commander who personally led the attack was seriously injured and unconscious. The deputy commander died on the spot. Three major battalion commanders died two times, nine army captains and company commanders died in battle, and more than a thousand officers and soldiers were injured and killed.

A main infantry regiment with a total capacity of not all but a total of more than 2,200 people was directly crippled. It is said that if the subordinates had not held it tightly, the lieutenant general who angrily smashed the steel helmet would have to go to the front line with a pistol.

The battle situation on the 74th Army, 20 miles away, was also at a stalemate. Although 30,000 elite troops were besieging more than 5,000 Japanese troops, there was still a threat from nearly 10,000 troops of the 27th Division outside the encirclement. The three infantry regiments that blocked the mountainous areas of the periphery did not dare to move at all. Two infantry regiments were held in their hands by the lieutenant general commander of the 74th Army and did not dare to spread them easily. In fact, only five infantry regiments could be used to besiege the 5,000 Japanese troops, totaling 16,000.

The troops were only 3 to 1, and there was not a huge difference. The Japanese army immediately formed a defense line based on the local terrain to support the arrival of reinforcements!

The proud major general Zhang brigade commander of the 153rd Brigade, one of the main attacking forces of the army, actually sent a rare call to the brigade commander Wang Da whom he had scolded. The content was very simple: "My brother and I were all in a hurry when we were in danger. There is a stalemate in the war and we need artillery reinforcements!"

If you can force this proud major general to say this, you can also imagine that the battlefield is extremely tragic.

According to post-war statistics, on the 24th alone, the 74th Army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, four officers at the school level and dozens of lieutenants were killed!

Brigade Commander Wang was an open-minded person. He had borrowed more than a dozen artillery squads from others by being shameless. Whether they were willing or unwilling, they always borrowed it. Now he naturally had to return the favor. When he asked for instructions from Comrade Lao Guo, Comrade Lao Guo nodded in agreement.

Although the 4th Army is fighting hard now and trying to swallow military achievements but bite the iron plate, the character of the commander named Xue will never change the orders easily. At least the 43rd Army will never have any war on the 24th.

20 artillery squads, a baggage company and an escort infantry company arrived at the front line of the 74th Army at around 4 pm.

A major from the Sichuan Army led the team was also frightened by the battlefield that had been fighting for more than 6 hours. Most of the hills on the battlefield within a radius of only 1.5 square kilometers were already bald. Looking around, dark blue and yellow corpses were almost everywhere!

Because of the fierce battle, neither China nor Japan restrained their remains and let them lie on the battlefield. More than 2,000 remains were constantly torn and thrown high in the fire of artillery. The extremely bloody scene is unbearable!

However, when the Sichuan Army received the order to enter the battle, it gradually became numb. All they had to do was to stuff the shells into the barrel like mechanically and bombard all areas where Japanese soldiers could be seen!

Life becomes the cheapest item at this moment!

China and Japan, who have already killed the sky and the earth, have only one purpose at this moment. It doesn’t matter whether they are alive or dead!

Both direct descendants were in a tough battle, and even the commander named Xue couldn't help but feel a little angry. At 5 pm, he actually arrived at the Wanjialing front with his own guard!

The commander came to the front line and injected a shot of stimulant into the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the two infantry troops who were in a tough battle. He saw that he was about to enter the night after more than an hour, but the offensive remained unabated, one wave higher than the other.

The defense line built by the Japanese army was shaking!

But with a strong enough will to survive, the Japanese defense line that had been broken several times did not collapse. Instead, it continued to increase troops and blocked the gap by relying on human lives.

"If you can't capture today, then tomorrow! If the regiment commander leads the team to attack, then change the brigade commander. If the brigade commander is not good, then the division commander will be! If it is not good, I will come on my own! In short, I have a 120,000 army but one person is still alive, and the battle to kill these Japanese invaders will continue!" The commander surnamed Xue stood at a position less than 1,500 meters away from the artillery fire and said a famous saying that made both China and Japan tremble.

That night, the commander of the 106th Division, Rokuro Matsuura, looked at the casualties reported by various divisions, hugged his head in despair and cried bitterly.

The Chinese army's casualties on the 24th were large enough. The total number of troops participating in the Wanjialing area was more than 6,000 casualties, but the 106th Division, as the defense side, was not much better. The casualties of the first-line infantry soldiers had already exceeded 2,000. Now the front line are already second-line troops such as engineers, communications soldiers, and health soldiers.

The so-called minor injury does not fall from the line of fire. Now for the 106th Division, if the broken arm and leg can still pull the trigger, it is a minor injury level.

The 27th Division, which was surrounded by the 74th Army, was beaten up by a group of fat people, even desperately called for help from its own division. In one day, only 3,500 people could fight. At this consumption rate, the unit would all become dead in just two days.

Unfortunately, they didn't have to worry about asking for help, and they were so anxious that they asked the lieutenant general commander of the 27th Division to jump, but in fact they didn't ask for much effect.

Three Chinese infantry regiments were deployed at a distance of 5 kilometers from the battlefield. As a second-line division, the 27th Division had a total of 18,000 left behind troops, and 5,000 were surrounded. There was also an infantry brigade with more than 6,000 people. The rest were auxiliary troops and there was no enough strength to break through the defense line within two days.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! What's more important is that according to intelligence, more than 100,000 Chinese troops have gathered in Wanjialing area. If they have finished cleaning up the unlucky guys in the encirclement, or even just clean up the 70,000 people, they will turn around and fight back. Can the 27th Division have the ten thousand people?

Then, all of them were buried with the unlucky guy, the 106th Division?

Therefore, the main force of the 27th Division, which was coming to help at Xingye, was actually staying at a distance of only 40 kilometers from the Wanjialing battlefield and did not dare to move!

The so-called hesitation will surely be defeated. The entanglement and hesitation of nearly 10,000 Japanese troops undoubtedly sprinkled pepper on all the bloody wounds of the Japanese troops in the encirclement.

The feeling of despair was shrouded in the more than 10,000 Japanese invaders still remaining in the encirclement on this night of the 24th!

The mentality cannot be broken. Our imperial army has a very honorable sense. No one dares to bear the consequences of annihilation of a division. Reinforcements will come sooner or later. This is the reason for Matsuura Rokuro to cheer himself up in a hypnotic manner!

However, what happened early in the morning of the 25th finally made the Japanese Lieutenant General Division commander a little unable to hold back.

Although the Chinese chose to truce on the night of the 24th, the frontal battlefield stopped, which did not mean that they really let the 106th Division look at the stars and the moon on the top of the mountain, talk about life and ideals...

They actually played a drama of interspersing and harassing behind enemy lines.

At least a thousand people, in infantry platoons, took advantage of the night to sneak into the defense line, and carried out harassing attacks on artillery, field medical teams, and poorly few baggage units.

Overnight, there were as many as three or four hundred imperial officers and soldiers who died in such a small-scale sneak attack.

Five infantry cannons and mountain cannons were damaged!

Even the command of Matsuura Rokuro's division was attacked. If it weren't for the fact that he had an infantry squad as a guard at that time, the Chinese attacked for 20 minutes and saw that they could not attack, they would take the initiative to evacuate. The lieutenant general division commander almost went to see Amaterasu before the entire division.

At that time, Matsuura Rokuro picked up the southern fourteen pistols and hid in the bushes. Bullets passed by him. The Chinese infantry closest to him would never be more than 50 meters!

If it were usually sufficient for sufficient troops, the 106th Division could form an infantry squadron level to encircle and suppress these Chinese people who dared to enter the defense line, making them unable to come and go.

But the reality is that it is already extremely difficult for the 106th Division to maintain various defense lines, not to mention that they have even drawn troops to wipe out the "Sun Wukong" who are making trouble in their stomachs.

However, this time, it was not led by the Tang regiment, but the masterpiece of the new deputy commander of the 4th Army Guard Regiment.

Xue Shuda did not forget Tang Dao's reminder. At the combat meeting at the beginning of the war, he stated that the guard regiment would not be the main force on the front battlefield. He didn't even want such a great contribution. The divisions and brigades participating in the meeting almost didn't make a sound. Even the lieutenant general commander only thought that the commander's brother had a funny head at that moment, so he agreed with the situation.

Until the bloody battle in the daytime was over, everyone's eyes were different when they looked at Xue Shuda again. Just as the bloody battle in the daytime, no group would work hard when they came, and they could only use their lives to pile up.

Of course, no one would think that Xue Shuda was afraid of the war, because that night, the main force of the guard regiment dispatched, broke it into pieces, and sneaked into the Japanese defense line under the guidance of local guides to harass him.

It sounds simple, but its risk is no less than that of a frontal battlefield. If you are not careful, thousands of elite soldiers will fall into the Japanese defense zone and never get out again.

Moreover, the guard regiment dispatched not only soldiers, but also schools!

The colonel's deputy regiment commander actually led the team and led the only radio station in the regiment to the battlefield. The guard team he had with him was only two infantry platoons with a few hundred people.

In addition to killing the enemy, the colonel deputy commander who once fought brilliantly in Sihang Warehouse was responsible for commanding the infantry platoons scattered in the mountains.

Because there is no wireless communication, only signal flares are used, which is undoubtedly barbecued under the tiger's nose, and it is possible to lead the Japanese army at any time.
