Chapter 1522 When will reinforcements be reached?(1/2)

Ge Youcai was injured in the last battle in the south of the city a month ago.

The scene of "Lieutenant General and Commander killing the Japanese with bare shirtlessness" that was once exaggerated by the newspaper was truly staged.

It was not that Ge Youcai wanted to boost morale, but that with the 10th regaining war in Zhangjiashan, he had no more available soldiers under his command.

The 10th Division's four infantry regiments, three main regiments, the 28th Regiment, the 30th Regiment, and the 31st Regiment, have all been crippled. The only supplementary regiment, the 29th Regiment, had less than one infantry company as early as 10 days ago, and the guard company directly under the regiment headquarters had less than one guard platoon, and was also on the front line of the Tiger's Nest.

The main position of Zhangjiashan was lost 9 times and was recaptured 9 times. The top of the mountain was already covered with corpses of both China and Japan, which was also one of the reasons for the heavy casualties of the 10th Division.

Zhangjiashan cannot be lost. If it is lost, the entire south city position with Zhangjiashan as the core will break the gap, and Huangchaling, which is hanging alone outside the main position, will no longer have the protection of the rear wings and will completely become an isolated island.

There are hundreds of elite soldiers in the Four Lines!

Although the 10th Division was approved by the command headquarters to withdraw to Hengyang urban area at any time, Ge Youcai looked at Huangchaling, which was filled with smoke, and finally decided to seize Zhangjiashan again.

But that time, he had no more commander or battalion commander. The three main groups under his command were seriously injured and two died, nine battalion commanders, six people were killed in battle, one was seriously injured, and two were in Wuguiling and Tiger-shaped Nest.

Even the 10th Division Division was already empty, because the infantry regiment was extremely short of officers, and all officers at the lieutenant level and above in the division headquarters had already flooded the front-line troops.

His subordinates were only two infantry companies that retreated from Zhangjiashan, as well as the last 60 people from his division headquarters, including communication soldiers, cooks, maintenance soldiers, grooms, etc.

"Damn it, scholars really don't have a good thing. I'll make up the things I have. Now, I'm really going to go barefoot this time."

He took off his general's uniform, tied up his armed belt, inserted two pistols to his waist, inserted a big knife behind his back, and lieutenant general who carried a submachine gun spit out old phlegm on the ground in front of a soldier in his early 200s.

"Let me, the lieutenant general, take back the position!"

"Yes!" Under the moonlight, the whole army was solemn.

Dozens of cannons of all sizes in Hengyang City gathered fire to Zhangjiashan, blowing this position that once belonged to Chinese soldiers into a sea of ​​fire.

The Japanese army hiding in the remains of the trenches were also numb!

Such a scene has been staged almost every two days in the past 20 days, either Japanese or Chinese. Anyway, as long as there are opponents on this hill, shells are regular visitors on this hill, and there are at least 50,000 shells falling from this small hill.

At this time, it is a joke to say that fortifications are not fortifications. All permanent fortifications are nonsense in this kind of artillery fire. Even the trenches are transformed into sections or sections in front of this kind of artillery fire. It is impossible to be coherent. Innumerable huge craters are the good place to hide.

More than 200 Chinese soldiers rushed to the top of the mountain in artillery fire, using rifles, submachine guns, pistols, grenades, bayonets and big knives to kill all enemies in different military uniforms.

Repeat position!

But only 90 people survived!

Ge Youcai, the commander of the 10th Division, was shot in the chest and was seriously injured and waited to die!

The injury was too serious and before he could even transport it to the field hospital, Dan Tai Mingyue personally brought three military doctors to the Yanhuifeng air raid shelter, and then he performed surgery on him in the simple air raid shelter, and saved his life.

The first thing he asked from Su Xing was: "How many remaining soldiers will be left in my army!"

No one dared to answer his question, for fear that the dying person who was so irritated that he should not die from the Japanese guns or cracked his wounds.

It was not until a week later that Tang Dao came to see him and told him the number that had been silent for two days.

And to this day, the Army Lieutenant General, who could already drink some rice porridge and sit up, finally asked his chief: "When will the reinforcements arrive!"

"My guard Yu Ying is the one who is known as the silly bird. He is also dead. He was not killed by the Japanese. He doesn't want to live anymore because my guard platoon is no longer alive!" Ge Youcai murmured.

After Ge Youcai was seriously injured and unconscious, his guard platoon withdrew from Zhangjiashan and handed over the position to the infantry battalion that came from the other positions. However, within two days, Xichan Temple was in a hurry and became the last reserve team of the division headquarters. However, the guard platoon of the 10th division, which had 30 people, rushed up again.

But this time, they never came back.

Yu Ying was a soldier that Ge Youcai picked up three years ago. He was tall and had a big horse, but his mind seemed to be a little problem. When he saw a large army march in a row, he took the initiative to walk in. The military rules of the 10th Division were very strict, so he kicked him out and almost failed to rectify the Dharma on the spot.

It happened that Ge Youcai, who was still the leader of the regiment, saw it, and called him over, intending to get the stupid guy away with a steamed bun. As a result, Yu Ying saw that Mangot didn't leave, so he followed twenty meters away from the army. The army stopped and he stopped, and the army left, which made Ge Youcai helpless, so he called him over and asked him what he would do.

The stupid man didn't talk much. He hugged his arms and moved a heavy machine gun for a long time. Moreover, Ge Youcai was happy without having enough food. It doesn't matter if he is stupid. He has enough strength to help him, the leader of the group, carry things, and then he took away the fool soldier who came to his door on the spot.

Unexpectedly, this fool soldier who later became known as the fool bird developed a characteristic with his own strength. The grenade was thrown far and accurately, just like a human-shaped mortar, and was placed in the guards and arranged into Ge Youcai's guards. He followed Ge Youcai several times to live and die on the battlefield.

As a result, Ge Youcai was seriously injured this time, and the guard platoon was ordered to defend the Xichan Temple position. After the Japanese army could not capture it for a long time, they actually used 105 howitzers to bombard the position.

The fool was shocked. When he woke up, he realized that he was almost buried by the floating soil raised by the shells. There was no one around, and the Japanese army on the opposite side had already begun to charge.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The foolish bird jumped into the trench, pulled two boxes of grenades and started to throw them. He threw 40 in one go, and relied on these 40 grenades to repel the Japanese army's charge.

Until an infantry platoon came back to support, he could leave if he had completed the defensive mission.

But when the infantry platoon who supported him searched everywhere, he had no choice but to find that the Japanese 105 howitzer was too terrible. The three anti-aircraft holes hidden in the guard platoon were hit. Except for the foolish birds who counted their grenades in the last trenches, the rest were all killed in battle.

The foolish bird cried loudly and refused to leave the position, even if a major battalion commander who came to this position later refused to listen.

In the end, the foolish bird fought on that position for a day and a night, and the reinforcements changed three groups, but he did not leave.

Until the end, the defenders on the Xichan Temple position were ordered to evacuate, and the stupid bird whose legs were blown off insisted on leaving. His only request was to give him a grenade.

The famous fool guard of the 10th Division obtained the last two boxes of grenades on the position.

The grenade exploded for 10 minutes, until the end, with the strong smoke and a loud roar rising from afar.

No one saw how the fool died in the end, but everyone could guess how he died. There were six grenades tied to his waist.

If it weren't for so many grenades, there would never have been such a high column of smoke.

"Sir, my brothers are almost dead! They are almost dead! The reinforcements from the dog days are turtles, and they have also crawled over the past three months!"

Speaking of this, tears in the eyes of a lieutenant general in the army were rushing unscrupulously on his face!

Fang Xianjue held the cold hand of his confidant subordinate and was speechless for a long time.

He also wanted to ask this question, but he was completely tired of the man's repeated for nearly 50 days: "Reinforcements will be reached tomorrow!"

Reinforcements are nowhere to be achieved.

Then, does the Hengyang defenders still have a way out?

Is it really like the young army colonel said with great confidence: "Without bloody battles, you can survive?"

But they have fought bloody battles in this city for 90 days. More than 20,000 troops can now fight less than 40 million. 50,000 young and strong soldiers have joined the army. Most of them have died in battle. There are as many as 16,000 wounded people in the city. The number of wounded people dies every day even exceeds those who die on the front line. Isn’t it considered a bloody battle to the end?

Then what is a bloody battle to the end?

Do you want everyone in this city to die?

Can this Hengyang City be buried so many corpses?

Even though I joined the army 20 years ago, I have experienced so many hard and bloody battles. When I think of these 90-day bloody battles, I can't help but feel my heart swayed, my eyes full of bitterness.

In fact, at this point, it was not only the pain of the Chinese commander.

Yokoyama, commander of the 11th Army of Japan, was in a trench less than 1,800 meters away.

Under the faint moonlight, this Japanese lieutenant general wearing an ordinary Japanese infantry uniform looked at the war ahead with a solemn look.

Although the 11th Army launched a large-scale siege to attack, it does not mean that the Japanese army had already occupied all the victories.

In fact, the air forces of China and the United States still firmly grasp air supremacy, regularly bombard the Japanese garrisons outside Hengyang City, and even hover at low altitude to strafuse the exposed Japanese infantry.

All the anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns of the 11th Army were exhausted during the long air combat, and there was almost no air counterattack power.

Therefore, during the day, except for the infantry entering Hengyang City to compete for the blocks, the rest of the officers and soldiers basically hid in stuffy trenches, fortifications or dug out individual gun holes, enduring the disgusting and strong stench of corpses.

Yes, Hengyang City and the surrounding areas of Hengyang are so smelly that a gust of wind can make people faint.

A month before the start of the Hengyang War, China and Japan tried hard to get the remains of their own people back and buried deep. By the second month, there were not many living people, so who else could care about the dead?

By the third month, everyone was used to death, so just die! Anyway, the next one might be themselves, and the Japanese army had completely given up on the matter of restraining corpses.

For the Chinese on the defensive, they lost this ability more, which also led to more corpses in the urban area.

With the rise of the flares, Yokoyama, who quietly arrived at the front line, could clearly see the scene in the trenches in the block ahead.

The corpses of different colors of military uniforms were lying in the wide trenches. If the Japanese infantry wanted to pass through this trench, they had to crawl in the trenches, which meant they had to climb on the decayed corpses. Wherever they passed, the "puff" sound of the swelling rotten corpses after being squeezed by heavy objects came from the ears of the Japanese Lieutenant General of the Army, which was creepy.

It's okay if you don't want to climb. You can walk past these corpses with your waist and stroll, but the price is that you may be hit by a sniper ambushed in the corner of the Chinese side.

After a month of urban offensive and defensive battles, a large number of snipers hiding in this ruined city caused extremely serious damage to the 11th Army.

They seemed to have evolved suddenly, with their marksmanship being terrible. At such a time when their vision was extremely poor at night, they could accurately hit the enemy 200 meters away, even if the light was fleeting.

What's even more terrible is that the entire city has a huge underground tunnel system, and they can increase troops or retreat to a block at any time.

Even if the 11th Army used tanks and cannons to open the road during the day and used the losses of a large number of infantrymen as a cost to conquer this block, the Chinese would organize counterattacks at night and even throw grenades to the sleeping soldiers.

The terrible ability to transport troops and precise shooting skills caused the current dilemma of the 11th Army. In front of him, Hengyang City became a hot potato. He couldn't swallow it, so he wanted to give up! The 80,000 casualties invested in the early stage were wasted, and the battle in Hengyang was a complete defeat.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention that Yokoyama Yong cannot bear this responsibility, even the six generals Tian Jun who have already been dismissed can't bear it, so Yokoyama Yong is still gritting his teeth and persevering.

However, after he arrived at the scene in person today, the tragic battlefield made the Japanese veteran unable to help but his eyes shine.

Hiding in a position where the trench would not face the shooting circle ahead, the Japanese lieutenant general saw with his own eyes a soldier climbing out of a trench full of rotten corpses. He just carried a gun and planned to rush behind a low wall that was only 70 cm long and continued forward.

But just 6 meters away, the Japanese infantry could no longer reach his destination. A bullet shot into his chest accurately, and the Japanese infantry fell to the ground and rolled and groaned in pain.

Although the ground was covered with blood, the Japanese soldier was obviously not dead yet. He was still moaning loudly and his hands and feet were still twitching.

But no one went to save him!

"He is not dead yet, why don't you save him!" Yokoyama Yokogami growled angrily.

"There is no way to save it. There is more than one Chinese sniper. They are waiting for someone who dares to appear and then turn it into a cemetery for the Imperial Imperial Army." A middle-aged man wearing a Japanese infantry uniform explained with bitter eyes.

That was the captain of the grand captain in charge of this neighborhood. There had been no less than ten such incidents before him. From the first anger to the later bitterness and calmness, it cost the lives of dozens of imperial infantrymen.

The Chinese soldiers who were forced into desperate situations were not only far superior to the imperial infantry in street fighting tactics! Their troops seemed to be endless.
