"Who said we can't go back to Taihang Mountain? The regiment commander told us all when he held a military meeting some time ago that after the battle, our regiment would return to Taihang Mountain to rest. Those who are in North China can take a one-month leave for a family vacation.

One month! When I left last time, my girl cried so hard. Three or four years have passed. Is my girl almost unable to recognize my father?" Boss Cao hugged his soldier, and sadness and hope flashed in his eyes.

After nearly a month of fighting in the city, the infantry platoon, which had only more than 30 people, was now only half of them left.

But this is still good. It is said that the 7th Company where he is located can no longer gather the original platoon. The urban area where their 7th Company is responsible for defense has been in charge of more than 20 days of repeated competition, and now there are still 16 positions firmly in the hands of their 7th Company.

Including the 5102th floor where the five of them are now located, although the building has long lost its value, if the Japanese army cannot kill all five of them in this ruins, they will not be able to enter another block with peace of mind.

Because they cannot guarantee whether a gun would stick out in this ruins and fire at them. Such things have happened at any time in the past 20 days.

The Japanese were forced to remove their opponents from house to house and then send troops to garrison them, which was exactly what Hengyang Command would like to see most.

The Japanese could only disperse their troops and enter the block with small forces. The strongest weapon could only be infantry artillery or the only few Type 97 tanks.

The 70mm infantry gun and the 47mm rapid-fire gun of the Type 97 tank are both small-caliber artillery. It is OK to destroy a house, but it is actually not very effective for all kinds of solid fortifications that China began to build three months ago.

The Hengyang Command even intends to relax some blocks, just for the Japanese infantry to enter it, and you and I will have you on both sides, which makes the Japanese 105,150 howitzers have no effect.

As a result, this urban street battle was completely a mess in nearly 30 days. Both sides were not worried about any organization, but they just threw the soldiers into the ruins of only 2.8 kilometers in a radius of 100% to strangle each other.

The Japanese army has an advantage of sufficient force, but China has an advantage of infantry communication systems beyond this era and familiarity with the geographical environment.

Of course, the most important reason why China can strangle the nearly 50,000 Japanese troops entering the ruins without any supplies for a month without any supply in this ruins is that there are well-connected tunnels and more than 40,000 reserves.

During the two months when the regular army outside Hengyang City fought fiercely with the Japanese army, the reserves in the city not only took on the heavy responsibility of continuously replenishing the outside of the city, but also had to dig underground tunnels day and night.

They were like a group of hardworking ants, dug out a spider-web-like passage underground in Hengyang City in 60 days. Although they did not reach every house, there were at least 6 exits in a block, and it was completely possible to have hidden soldiers and storage of food, water, ammunition, etc. underground.

According to post-war statistics, the total length of the underground tunnel reached an astonishing 80 kilometers, and the digging of tens of thousands of tons of earth was considered a miracle in the history of human wars.

It can be seen what potential can humans burst out when their lives are threatened.

It is precisely the miracle created by these young and strong men who stayed in Hengyang City that makes Hengyang City still in the hands of China. Even if a month has passed, the regular Chinese army is sacrificing with a unit of 100 people every day, but the gunfire of Hengyang City has not stopped for almost 24 hours.

For example, the position where Boss Cao is located has been repeatedly competed for more than 10 times. The Japanese army conquered the infantry artillery and Type 97 tanks during the day. Boss Cao and his 4th squad hide in the underground tunnel, and then snatched it back in the evening and fought against the Japanese army during the day.

In this repeated tug-of-war, the 4th squad has dropped sharply from 9 to 4, which does not include the newly added 26 reserve soldiers. They are not as lucky as Luo Dahu and have all been killed in this month.

With this position alone, 31 people were killed in the Chinese side.

There are no serious injuries, because in such street fighting, serious injuries mean death. No one has the ability to cross the line of fire and drag comrades to a safe area dozens of meters away during fierce battles.

They either silently stop breathing behind their fighting comrades, or at the last moment of their lives, they pull the grenade lead to take away the enemy.

To some extent, the wounded soldiers themselves are unwilling to continue living.

Because Hengyang had already reached the point where the ammunition and food were exhausted at this time, the bullets and food were fine. Due to some previous reserves, it could at least ensure that the entire city's military and civilians had stuttering. As long as the Japanese army was killed, the guns, ammunition and biscuits carried by the Japanese army could be replenished at any time. This is a typical example of fighting to support the war.

But the medicines were already exhausted, and Tang Dao had already prepared for the future. When hundreds of medical staff arrived, they carried more than ten tons of medicines and medical supplies, but even he did not expect the battle to be so intense or last for so long.

Since late July, the city has been used up, especially the lack of disinfectant and cotton. The little medicine supply that is airdropped by the transport plane every day is a drop in the bucket for the seriously injured in Hengyang City with a number of up to 13,000 people.

Later, medical staff could only burn cotton wool with boiling water and disinfect it. There were no medical bandages. Dan Tai Mingyue, director of the Field Hospital, took the lead. Hundreds of medical staff contributed their shirts and sheets and directly tore them into strips of cloth to bandage the wound.

As the highest commander of the city, Fang Xianjue knew that his direct troops were almost fighting for nothing in the south of the city. Four regiment commanders died and two injured, and seven main battalion commanders died and seven people did not cry. However, he cried when inspecting tunnel No. 3 of the Field Hospital on August 20.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! That day, the scorching sun had just fallen, and the gunshots in Hengyang City were still ringing through the sky. Fang Xianjue decided to visit the wounded soldiers at the field hospital. He also brought all the canned meat that the officers of the command center had saved these days and a little milk candy that had just dropped from the air to encourage these wounded soldiers to make their efforts on the front line.

As soon as the person walked into the tunnel, he heard deep and deep moans, as if from the depths of hell, accompanied by a corruption and smell, what reflected in the eyes of the lieutenant general was: all the wounded soldiers were leaning or lying on both sides of the tunnel with weak skin and bones, with hollow eyes and weak eyes, and seriously injured people who were missing arms and legs, had barely a door panel to lie down as a stretcher.

However, what was shocking was that groups of flies kept rushing towards their wounds, and the wounded seemed to be used to it and were too lazy to even rush to get there.

"Military!" Suddenly, Fang Xianjue was heartbroken and heard someone calling him in a low voice. When he turned to look, he saw a man leaning against the wall of the tunnel, his beard was unshaven, his cheeks were thin, his eyes were sunken, and he was muttering in his mouth.

Fang Xianjue hurriedly walked over and bent down to look at the wounded soldier. His wound was wrapped in bandages, but it should have been a long time since he was cleaned with medicine. A foul odor emitting from the bandages, and flies fell on it. Fang Xianjue quickly waved his hand to drive it away, but soon the Lieutenant General found that it was futile. There were too many flies in it and could not be removed.

However, this is still less than the ground.

Today's Hengyang City is not hell or hell! No matter if you stand inside and outside the city, just look around, the first creature you see must be flies, and they are very fat.

Because their food is really too rich.

Corpse were everywhere! The Japanese army continued to converge on the Xiangjiang River and burned it day and night, but it could not keep up with the speed of the corpse production.

Before the attack on Hengyang City, the Japanese army killed 35,000 more people and injured 20,000, which was equivalent to the reimbursement of two A-level divisions.

In the words of Zhao Junmai, who came from a wealthy family, I really didn’t eat anything that day. Only these fly flying all over the sky were probably enough for the soldiers and civilians in Hengyang to eat for two days.

Although it is a bit disgusting, it is enough to show that flies are the largest biological group in Hengyang at this time.

Humans are just carriers used for their food and breeding offspring.

However, at this time, Fang Xianjue also saw this person clearly. It turned out that this was the captain and company commander of the 9th Company of the 28th Regiment of the 10th Division, who was rescued by his sergeant squad leader with a serious crime in military law.

When Fang Xianjue was the regiment commander, this army captain was a squad leader under him. He followed Fang Xianjue to train troops in Jinhua. Fang Xianjue knew him and knew his surname was Dai.

At that time, the captain named Dai was shot four times, and the fatal bullet was on his right chest. Fortunately, he was still a little far from his heart. He saved his life after surgery in a field hospital. However, he did not expect that 40 days later and his injuries still did not heal.

It turned out that the army captain survived the wound infection and survived, but he encountered a shortage of drugs at the critical moment of his wound healing. The army captain who had recovered his consciousness resolutely moved out of the basement of the Central Bank, which was specially designed for seriously injured soldiers to live, and came to the No. 3 tunnel that lacked drugs, causing the unhealed wound to be infected and rot again.

In August, Hengyang entered street fighting, and the drugs dropped from the airdrop could fall into the hands of the Chinese side. The nurse had to use only salt water to debride it. The medical effect was obviously better than nothing.

Captain Dai looked at his commander with empty eyes and said angrily: "Staff, please believe me, I can still move. You send someone to carry me to the position. As long as there is a machine gun, you will never let the Japanese rush up before I die. I will continue to kill the Japanese with my brothers in the 9th Company!"

Fang Xianjue burst into tears at that time. If he remembered correctly, the 28th Regiment reported that it was this 9th Company. On the battlefield of the counterattack of Zhangjiashan's main position on July 20, the remaining 50 people fought with the Japanese army in hand-to-hand combat and refused to retreat. The entire company found 8 seriously injured soldiers, and before they could be transported to the rear, four more died.

At that time, he spread the entire army in the name of Hengyang Command, and named the company "Zhangjiashan Company" to commemorate the company's achievements in that battle.

But, what's the use of giving rewards and commendations? Maybe, Zhangjiashan is the only one who is left in front of him.

"Okay, if all Chinese soldiers can be like you, let alone Hengyang, even hundreds of Hengyangs can be defended. Here I promise you in my own name that Hengyang can be lost, but before that, our Xianjue's head must be hung at the gate of the central bank! You should be safe and relieve your injuries for the time being. After the injuries are healed, you must not only be the company commander, but also be the battalion commander and regiment commander, and take more brothers to kill the Japanese." Fang Xianjue did not tell the army captain about the bad news about his infantry company, but bent down, carried the veteran who had been following him for nearly 10 years and walked out of tunnel No. 3.

Whether it was out of years of friendship or for the "Zhangjiashan Company" who had no soldiers, the army captain had to survive.

Fang Xian, who respects Dan Tai Mingyue, was very rare to get angry at Station 1 of the Field Hospital, and immediately returned to the command center to send a telegram to the Military Commission: "I can take the entire army to death in Hengyang, but I will never bear to sit back and watch over more than 10,000 soldiers die in pain after fulfilling their military duties. I am willing to use all my wealth and rewards in exchange for medicine to treat the wounded!"

This is the first time Fang Xianjue has not maintained enough respect for the one in the telegram. Even if the one has said that "reinforcements will arrive tomorrow" for almost 40 days, he has never been there.

But for the sake of 13,000 wounded, this famous general has made a sacrifice.

There are some effects. From August 21, the number of transport aircraft that airdropped drugs into Hengyang City every night has increased to 6, and there are as many as several tons of medical equipment in airdropped drugs and medical equipment. Although half of them were picked up by the Japanese army, it is also a relief to Hengyang City.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! Otherwise, the wound infection in the hot summer heat alone can kill half of the wounded soldiers in Hengyang City.

The 3rd Platoon and 4th Squad died in the battle in the city. How many Japanese soldiers died?

According to the battle report of the Shima Detachment of the 68th Division, which was responsible for the main attack on this area, the detachment killed 178 imperial officers and soldiers, injured 97 people, and reimbursed one and a half infantry squadron to conquer this building. This is not counting. Their captain, Major General Shima Genyoshi, also died in a battle that personally arrived on the front line to supervise the battle three days ago.

Speaking of which, Major General Shima Genyoshi deserves to die. This guy who was supposed to die in the battle of the suburbs in time and space should have been lucky enough to die. But the wheels of history rolled on, and Tang Dao, a future little butterfly, could not change its direction without any effort. How could a small Japanese Army Major General reverse it?

After several positions, including the 5102 position, this guy changed hands several times, he was very angry and came to the front line in person and supervised the battle less than 200 meters away from the front line soldiers.

Unfortunately, Adong was ambushing the third floor of the building that was about to collapse. Although Adong, who had lost one left arm, could no longer hit a target 400 meters away like before, 250 meters could still be achieved.

Although Major General Shima was wearing a steel helmet, uniform and the Japanese officers around him, the golden thread inlaid with the sheath of the command knife he was carrying burst out with bright light under the reflection of the sun, and was captured by Adong.

He didn't know how big the Japanese officer was, but the scabbard was also inlaid with gold, which was very awesome.

All the awesomeness is shown, isn’t it just for people to ejaculate?

The single-armed assault rifle was adjusted to a single shot mode and hit it with one shot!

However, at a distance of more than 200 meters, the Japanese steel helmet was easily penetrated by a 7.92-caliber bullet. The major general of the Japanese army leaked out of his brain tissue under the protection of nearly ten Japanese troops, becoming the first Japanese general on the Hengyang battlefield to be sniped by Chinese infantry, and once again raised the level of the Japanese general who was sniped by the Japanese army to be one level.

This also forced Yokoyama Yuki to personally order that all major generals or above are not allowed to visit the front line in person, so as not to add the name of a Japanese general to the Chinese military merits.

Yes, in Hengyang, Shima Genyoshi is no longer the first Japanese Army general to be killed in battle. His boss, the man Yin who was blown away, died in the rear hospital due to a wound infection.

Lieutenant General Luo Heshijiu, the commander of the 27th Division, also came to the front line when he launched a strong attack on Huangchaling in early August. As a result, China's long-lost rocket launcher once again showed its power, but this time it was not aimed at the infantry, but at the heavy machine gun positions and infantry artillery positions in the rear.

A rocket hit the trench at the 27th Division's front-line command, 700 meters away from the front line. What's even more unfortunate is that it was a phosphorus-aluminum incendiary bomb. When the 27th Division sent people to put out the fire to save their division commander, the poor Japanese Lieutenant General had already been half-cooked. It was through the sword he carried with him that he confirmed that the black piece of meat-scented meat was Lieutenant General Luohe Shinjiu.

The boot that China had not landed for a long time showed their hideousness!

If two lieutenant generals plus one army major general is not enough to make Yokoyama lose his composure, then what if there are 6 cols and 14 grandchildren?

The headquarters of the 11th Army, located 8 kilometers away from Hengyang City, is actually far from what the outside world sees. It is looking at Hengyang City, which is so close to the crowd, and imagines the complete annihilation of the enemy in Hengyang and won military achievements.

On the contrary, there was a lot of sadness!

Even a fool, after half a month entering Hengyang City, he realized that Hengyang City is now a hot potato, and he can't hold on to it even if he can't eat it.

Regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, it depends on the losses. Lieutenant General Yokoyama Yong, the commander of the 11th Army, has been deposed.

The only uncertainty is that he would be transferred back to the local area to retire from active service in a decent manner, or he would be held accountable and sent to the military court.

Since the 11th Army has fought, it has not been exhausted and unable to fight again, but has been completely damaged.

Yes, it was not that a division was crippled, but that the entire 11th Army was already crippled.

This field army, known as the most powerful since its establishment, has completely lost the qualification to fight the main force of China.

PS: Fengyue will send her daughter to Chengdu tomorrow. Because she didn’t buy a high-speed rail ticket, she could only take a sleeper berth. It took 16 hours. She will go to Chengdu the morning after tomorrow, and then accompany her to register and arrange dormitory and other chores. On the 3rd, she will be in Chengdu with her classmates whom she hasn’t seen for a long time. When a friend meets her, she will take a sleeper car to Xiangyang on the evening of the 3rd and will arrive home on the afternoon of the 4th. If I have time during this period, I will take time to update. If I am too busy, I can only wait until Fengyue returns home. I will explain it to my book friends.
