The east bank of Xiangjiang River has won victory!

Although the main force of the 6th Infantry Regiment led by Ryomatsu Matsukami still existed in the landing fleet, it lost most of its artillery and completely lost its ability to cross the Xiangjiang River.

And don’t look at the gunboats and gunboats have strong firepower, causing a large number of casualties to the 1st Battalion of the 190th Division, but when the Chinese fighter jets arrive during the day, it will be the time when the fleet is destroyed.

While it was two hours before dawn, the Japanese Navy ships fled upstream in shame, and the threat on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River was temporarily lifted.

However, Fang Xianjue, who received the good news from the 190th Division to repel the Japanese fleet in the command center, was still frowning and could not have a happy face.

It turned out that in Wuguiling, the 10th Division suffered unprecedented losses in the south of the city, but this loss was caused by human error.

The Japanese army launched a shelling at Wuguiling at 3 a.m., especially at the position on the south side of Wuguiling. Using the favorable wind direction, they fired poison gas bombs for half an hour.

It was the position of the 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 28th Regiment of the 10th Division. Li Ruodong, who was the battalion commander at the rear command, called Captain Zhu Zhongping, who was the newly appointed company commander of the position. However, the phone rang for a long time but no one answered it. Li Ruodong was naturally a little worried and immediately ordered the communications soldiers to check in the dark.

As a result, the communication soldiers climbed onto the position and found that the position was dead silent!

It’s not that there was no one, but that there was no one alive, including Captain Zhu Zhongping, the former captain and staff officer of the 28th Regiment who just took over as company commander yesterday. All the officers and soldiers of the 7th Company were poisoned and killed in the battle under the poisonous gas bombs of the Japanese army.

All infantry companies were killed, this is the first time since the war in Hengyang started!

Officers who have practical experience in the battlefield know that poison gas is heavier than air, and all depressions are places where poison gas is easy to accumulate. Therefore, when the Japanese release poison gas, the troops must evacuate to the sidewind highland as soon as possible. If there are gas masks and gas masks, those without masks will cover their mouths and noses with wet towels. The survival rate will be higher than 70% or 80%, otherwise there will be no need to fight this battle. Once the Japanese release poison gas, they will all die.

Captain Zhu Heping and Zeng Jing, the leader of the 28th Regiment, were alumni and fellow villager. He has been serving as a consultant to the regiment headquarters since he was assigned to the 10th Division. He has never served as the chief officer in the grassroots troops and lacks sufficient practical experience. Because the Japanese army was fierce in poisoning, he actually brought all the officers and soldiers of the company to hide in the fortifications in the low-lying areas, resulting in all 118 people being poisoned, none of whom were spared.

"I have ignored this! I have ignored the practical experience of promoting officers in the last battle, and the popularization of experience in defending poison gas." Fang Xianjue was both heartbroken and blamed himself.

If these 118 people were fighting with the Japanese army in a battle, it might be acceptable to have all died in battle, but if they were to eliminate the Japanese army, they would have died quietly under the Japanese gas offensive, the pain in their hearts would undoubtedly double.

For this tragedy, Ge Youcai, the commander of the 10th Division, and Zeng Jing, the commander of the 28th Division, called Fang Xianjue to apologize.

"Of course, the responsibility of the two of you is not allowed to escape. After the war, we came to the military headquarters and each person received 20 whips, and I will accompany you 10 whips." Fang Xianjue said this and hung up the phone.

However, tragedy is tragedy, whether it is the cruelty of the Japanese army or the stupidity of their own people, Fang Xianjue, the supreme commander, can only forget the sadness for the time being and consider the issue of sending additional reinforcements to Wuguiling.

The 28th Regiment is already the reserve team of the 10th Division. It just replaced the 30th Regiment into the position two days ago. You can't let the 30th Regiment, which has just been withdrawn and not completed the rest, go on again!

As the saying goes, even rainy when the roof leaks, the 28th Regiment has not yet been resolved, and something happened to the tiger-shaped nest position defended by the 29th Regiment again.

At 4 a.m., a thunderstorm broke out south of Hengyang City, and the rain was heavy, forcing the officers and soldiers in the trenches to enter the anti-cannon hole to hide from the rain.

This hiding, coupled with the heavy rain at night, was extremely poor in sight, so something happened.

The Japanese army sent a suicide squad of more than 40 people. Taking advantage of the night, thunderstorm, they sneaked into the outer trench, and used people as ladders to climb up the cliff. They even touched the position on the southwest side of the tiger's nest without knowing it.

Not to mention this, the Japanese army also used cold weapons and close forces to occupy three bunkers and a 120-meter-long trench with lightning speed.

It was not until the fire and rumbling explosions broke out on the position that the Chinese officers and soldiers in the other trenches realized that the Japanese army had entered the position.

Fortunately, the 1st Battalion of the 29th Regiment was stationed in the area. Not only was the strongest combat power of the 29th Regiment, but the battalion commander was also a very clear-headed veteran. He immediately mobilized troops. He first blocked the rear of the southwest position with heavy machine guns of the entire battalion, blocked the Japanese subsequent reinforcements, and prevented the Japanese army from entering continuously. Then he mobilized two platoons of troops, forming a group of 6 people, gathered 14 light machine guns and 12 submachine guns to sweep the trenches occupied by the Japanese.

The Japanese army that entered the position did not carry any heavy weapons at all. They only snatched three light machine guns and the rifles they carried from the Chinese position. When the subsequent troops could not arrive in time, they were at a disadvantage in firepower.

But these more than 40 Japanese soldiers were undoubtedly elite. Although their firepower was completely suppressed, their shooting skills were extremely tough and they resisted until dawn. During this period, the infantry company commander in charge of the position personally led the commando forward and was shot by the Japanese infantry because of their anxiousness.

If 100 Japanese troops were given another one, it would be possible to stabilize their position. As the Japanese troops arrived continuously, the tiger-shaped nest highland that lost a corner of the highland was almost bound to be lost.

Unfortunately, Master Amaterasu, who favored the Japanese army in the middle of the night, still couldn't last long, it was dawn!

At dawn, the situation between the enemy and us is simply too clear.

The four heavy machine guns of the battalion commander of the 29th Regiment were really important for fire shooting in the southwest side of the position. More than 300 Japanese lie in the mud less than 200 meters away from the position and cannot make any progress.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! If these Japanese rush into the position, even if there are more than 600 Chinese officers and soldiers in the Tiger-shaped Nest, the ending will be hard to say.

After all, the Japanese army opposite is as tall as an infantry regiment!

A mortar platoon deployed 1,600 meters away was exerted, and the more than 300 Japanese troops were blown away. Blood mixed with mud was splashed everywhere. The Japanese army, which could not withstand huge casualties, was forced to retreat, and threw the suicide squad with about 20 people left alone on the tiger nest position.

In the end, after paying the price of 7 deaths and 18 injuries, the 1st Battalion of the 29th Regiment finally wiped out the Japanese army that had entered the position.

Although the counterattack was brave and quick, and more than 30 Japanese were left on the position, their casualties were basically equal. If the Japanese killed by machine guns and mortars were included in the position, the 29th Regiment took advantage, but this was another mistake that almost lost the position. It was a powerful general like Ge Youcai, the commander of the 10th Division, had to call the command center again to apologize.

"Military throne, 40 whip, I will take it myself after the war!" Ge Youcai was originally a loud voice, but now he looked like a young wife who wanted to meet her parents-in-law. Don't mention the frustration.

"Ge Youcai, what should I say about you? Just tell me if you are a talented person, are your subordinates a group of talents?" Fang Xian was definitely not trying his best to restrain himself. He probably had already smashed the phone.

Fang Xianjue is very hot-tempered, not to mention that the 10th Division is his old foundation, Ge Youcai is his old subordinate, who are not his soldiers? Now that the situation is frequent, is the most embarrassing person who is the commander?

"Sir Fang, don't be too angry. When the two sides fight, they naturally have to have their own ulterior motives to kill the other side. We are not facing a group of pigs, but the fierce Japanese invaders who conquered the Miluo defense line and the Tanzhou defense line. Their commander is Hengshan Yong, who is known for his fierceness and cunning among the Japanese army.

We can make them lose their heads, and it is normal for them to make us lose their heads occasionally. Although the brothers in the 10th Division occasionally fail, they can quickly make up for the mistakes, and did not allow the Japanese army to achieve the expected tactical goals.

Moreover, this battle lasts for a long time, and the gains and losses are not enough to judge the heroes. I believe that the brothers of the Pre-10 Division will tell the whole of China in the end what kind of people they are." Tang Dao comforted and frowned.

Fang Xianjue, whose face had not changed, no one knew what he was feeling at that time, but when Ge Youcai heard someone from the command center convey Tang Dao's original words to him, he glared at the sight of Tang Dao's encouragement to the four regiment commanders under his command: "You all have you heard, I will take the occasional mistakes for you, and I will also be beaten by the military whip for you, but the commander of the Tang Dynasty said that the whole of China is watching our Preparatory 10th Division, our 10th Army, and our Hengyang defenders. I will never allow soft and cowards. If the position is lost, I will retake it. If the battalion commander cannot take it back, the regiment commander will come. If the regiment commander cannot take it back, then I will go. As long as there is someone in the Preparatory 10th Division, the position in the south of the city cannot be lost."

The Chinese side expected that Ge Youcai, the commander of the 10th Division, issued a deadly order to fight to four regiments under his command after two consecutive losses, but the Japanese side saw the dawn of victory because of the brief breakthrough of the tiger-shaped nest position.

The Huangchaling position located in front of the entire Chinese position has proved that it is almost insurmountable highland with the lives of more than 2,600 Japanese infantrymen. The 116th Division could only bypass the highland that was spewing deadly flames and aimed at the mountain ridge 1,000 meters away.

The hard bone in Huangchaling can only wait for the heavy artillery brigade and chariot regiment to arrive before attacking.

The commander of the 116th Division, Ion Yongwang, personally visited the front line, gathered seven complete infantry brigades under his command, and temporarily dispatched personnel from the baggage corps, engineer corps and supplementary corpses to temporarily form 8 infantry brigades.

Nearly 14,000 infantry gathered in the south of the city. They used a Chinese reconnaissance pilot to pass through the ground from a high altitude and then notified the Hengyang City Command through the radio station. The original words were: "The enemy situation is urgent, and the Japanese invaders gathered heavy troops in the south of the city, and the number is unestimated."

The Japanese army just gathered, and the hills were filled with trenches dug by Japanese infantry. Looking from a high altitude, it was like a group of yellow ants building nests, which was shocking.

The fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force and the Flying Tigers carried out indiscriminate bombing of the area, but because of the vast territory and the positions excavated by the Japanese army were close to several highlands in China, more importantly, the Japanese army also dispatched fighter jets to intercept at high altitudes, and the bombing effect was not very good.

On June 9, the main position of Zhangjiashan!

At noon, it suddenly started raining heavily on Zhangjiashan.

At 3 pm, the Japanese army sent three infantry brigades to launch a fierce attack on Zhangjiashan in the pouring rain. Both sides rushed back and forth in the pouring rain.

Among them, the 221 Highland was defeated by the Japanese army twice, but was recaptured by the 2nd Battalion of the 30th Regiment, which was urgently transferred over.

The battle is until dusk, and the heavy rain has just stopped!

The Japanese army's offensive continued to decline, and even sent three infantry brigades, including the remaining soldiers who had fought for the afternoon of the previous battle, a total of about 4,800 people were taking turns to launch attacks on the main position of Zhangjiashan.

The 221 Highlands and 227 Highlands were once again captured by the Japanese army almost at the same time. More than half of the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 30th Regiment stationed above were injured and killed. The battalion commander Major Xu Xiansheng was shot in the head and still shouted loudly. Several guards under him carried him back after he fell into a coma, but died on the way to the medical team.

Feng Zishi, the commander of the 30th Regiment, ordered Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment to succeed the battalion commander, and led the guards of the regiment headquarters to advance into the highlands and fight to the death with the Japanese invaders who had attacked the two highlands.

In just one hour, Lieutenant Colonel of Ganwo Tu was also killed in battle, and only one of the three company commanders under the 2nd Battalion survived.

"There are no reinforcements, and our battalion will be killed or injured!" The army captain who lost two battalion commanders in succession begged the regiment commander Feng Zishi in the only walkie-talkie in the entire battalion.

The infantry battalion, which originally had 600 people, now only one-third of the positions are still in their hands.

Perhaps at this point the battle, the man who was crying and asking for support was already unconscious of life and death, but he didn't want to lose these two positions where more than 400 brothers were lying on their bodies.

The regiment commander Zeng Jing also burst into tears. It was not that he did not want to rescue, but that the crazy Japanese army also joined heavy troops in the other four high grounds, and he no longer had a reserve team.

Fortunately, the 223 and 224 high grounds had just repelled a round of Japanese attacks. Perhaps the Japanese army was still planning the next wave of attacks and entered the intermittent period. At the request of the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion, the major battalion commander took one and a half infantry company under his command to two high grounds where they were still fighting hard.

The reinforcements requested by the 10th Division from the command were still 5 miles away from the position.

The arrival of the 200 new forces made the morale of the Chinese remaining soldiers high. With the support of two mortar platoons and 4 150 gates in Huangchaling, it took one and a half hours to finally regain all positions on the high ground.

It was already 9 o'clock at night, and the officers and soldiers of both China and Japan, who had fought for a full six hours, were tired and wanted to die. According to previous practice, it was difficult for the Japanese army to launch any further offensive.

The Chinese soldiers dragged their extremely tired bodies and threw the "yellow shit" corpses on the position directly outside the trenches. They carried the remains of their officers and soldiers to the position and temporarily placed them, waiting for the stretcher team formed by tomorrow's civilians to carry the remains away for burial.

This is also a wartime regulation. The main reason is that the weather is too hot now, and the body will start to rot and deteriorate in less than a day.

It has been 6 days since the fierce battle broke out in Huangchaling, and there are a lot of flies in Hengyang City. As long as you eat, the flies will not fly in groups but in bunches. The reason is because of the battlefield in the south of the city.

In the deep trench under Huangchaling, there were more than a thousand Japanese corpses rotting, maggots crawling around, and the stench soaring into the sky was unbearable for the veterans of the 1st Battalion of the Fourth Army Regiment. Even the hot weather had to tie a towel soaked in potions on their faces.

In order to prevent epidemics, during the fierce battle, officials at all levels demanded that the remains of their sacrificed officers and soldiers be transported to the rear as soon as possible to be buried.

As for the Japanese, they don’t have the ability to care about so much, so they can only let them stink outside the position. When the Japanese charge here, the stench soaring into the sky and the maggots crawling around the ground are also an obstacle.

But this day was different. Yan Yongwang had obviously discovered that the two positions of Zhangjiashan and Tiger-shaped Nest were the key to the entire south of Hengyang City. If these two places were not captured, they would not even touch the edge of Hengyang City from the south of the city.

Just one hour later, under Iwai Eiwang's stern scolding, the then captain of the 120th Infantry Regiment and Colonel Erkilon had to order two infantry brigades and two temporary brigades under his command to attack the two high grounds again.

The Chinese officers and soldiers on the two high grounds who had just taken a breath could only fight hard.

But at this time, the troops of both sides were more than ten times different, and the Japanese army was pestering the "menstrual belt" and engaged in the "pig burst tactic".

The so-called pig tumbling means rampage in Chinese! But in Japanese culture, there are quite a difference in meaning. In Japanese society, "pig" is a complimentary word, domestic pig is "pig" in Japanese, and wild boar is called "pig". Its status is like a Chinese tiger. To say who is a pig is to praise him for his courage and fearlessness! There is even a word in Japanese called "pig tumbling rapid progress".

Therefore, the Pig Crush Charge is not a derogatory term, but a Japanese tactic that represents bravery and fearlessness. It first appeared in the Russo-Japanese War and was created by Nogi Hinomi! In fact, in other words, the extreme of this tactic is to let soldiers commit suicide charges, or "meat bullet charges"!

In May 1943, American cowboys had seen the power of the Japanese "pig scheming tactics". In the Battle of Atu Island, a 11,000-meter army fought against the 2,600 Japanese troops on Atu Island.

At that time, the Mid-American army sent 11,000 Marines, many landing ships, a large number of light and heavy weapons, and cut off the supply line of the Japanese army, and prepared very well! At this time, there were only 2,600 Japanese troops stationed on the island! However, something speechless happened!

Late at night on May 29, 1943, the Japanese army, who was in desperate situation, actually launched the "pig burst tactic". The first time the Mid-Armed Army encountered this tactic, was suddenly in a hurry and frightened manner, which led to two disasters. (1) The wounded soldiers in the camp were massacred by the Japanese army, and (2) A large amount of supplies were robbed by the Japanese army.

As the Japanese army was about to reverse the situation and the Mid-American army was about to be driven into the sea, a turning point appeared. 500 engineers in the Mid-American army blocked the Japanese offensive with submachine guns and machine guns.

Later, all the Japanese troops surrounded by the US military fired grenades and committed suicide! After this battle, once the US military discovered the traces of the Japanese army, they would crazily pour out ammunition and blow up the entire area! This is what it means to have soldiers on the Bagong Mountain!

It can also be seen from this that the ultimate terrifying will to fight can sometimes be better than the overwhelming bombs.

More than 300 Chinese officers and soldiers did not stop the crazy more than 3,000 Japanese troops, and their positions were gradually lost again.

But Feng Zishi came with his reinforcements. An elite infantry company came from Taihang Mountain 20 days ago. The company commander was an army lieutenant named Tu Yunsheng.
To be continued...
