Highland No. 3 fell into a brief calm, and compared with the other two highlands with fierce gunfire, it was quiet and almost weird.

But almost all Chinese commanders are focused on Highland No. 3.

Because before the storm comes, it is always the quietest.

Tang Dao received a report from the front line Wei Donglai on the phone.

Tang Dao's face was as calm as the rocks in winter.

Perhaps only those who are familiar with him will feel the sadness hidden in his cold and fierce eyes.

In just half a day of battle, more than 170 people were reduced from the No. 3 Highland, 100 people were killed in the battle, and 70 were seriously injured. More than 120 people in the two infantry companies stood on the position.

Just before the bloody hand-to-hand battle just now, Wei Donglai had already used his last infantry platoon's reserve team.

If the battle continues at this intensity, the No. 3 Highland Guard will be exhausted before sunset.

Huge casualties are not the most terrible.

If we look at the results, these two Sichuan Army companies, which are famous for avenging shame, will definitely have achieved the best results of the Sichuan Army in this era.

There are more than 500 remains without counting them in front of their positions.

The one-to-three-win battle loss ratio is enough to avenge their previous shame.

However, the battle situation was moving towards the worst direction that Tang Dao expected. The crazy Guoqian Yasu really started a war of attrition, but he consumed the dog-legged Jing'an army, not the regular army under his command.

The Japanese army seemed to have identified the No. 3 Highland. Although the battle conditions on the other two highlands were also very fierce, they were far from reaching the point where infantrymen on both sides had several close combats against the front-line trenches.

"Wei Donglai, tell me if you can still hold on. If not, I will send an infantry company to reinforce your troops!" Tang Dao tried hard to calm his tone.

"Sir, I need reinforcements, but I know that the Japanese cannons are waiting for reinforcements. The brothers cannot let the brothers die under the Japanese shells in vain. Let the brothers and I stand up again. As long as the Japanese and the second Japanese are not that crazy, I think there is no problem to stand up until night." Wei Donglai answered.

"Okay! Then do you have anything else to do?" Tang Dao nodded.

He could send a reconnaissance team to the Japanese area to reconnaissance and guidance. Of course, the Japanese army was not a vegetarian. Their reconnaissance vanguards must have hid in the mountains and forests to observe the rear of the highlands. Once reinforcements were found, the Japanese heavy artillery group would inevitably open fire.

During the day, it is not the best time to reinforce. This was when Tang Dao passed away with all the highland commanders before the war.

"I only have one request!"

"explain!"

"I requested to send a stretcher team to transport our seriously injured people! Otherwise, I am afraid that many brothers will not last until the evening. The hemostatic medicine on the position will not work for their injuries, and I cannot watch them die."

"Okay! I agree to you with this request!" Without hesitation, Tang Dao agreed.

It seems simple to transfer a small wounded person, but it is actually extremely difficult.

As Tang Dao was worried, the Japanese army was also playing the "siege and aid". When the Japanese reconnaissance vanguard hidden in the mountains and forests saw a figure moving towards the No. 3 Highland, they immediately fired a signal flare.

The Japanese artillery group immediately opened fire at the coordinates that had been scheduled, and the artillery fire almost covered all the mountain roads leading to Highland No. 3.

A stretcher team of 10 people plus six armed escorts, only half of them were able to pass the blockade line.

If an infantry company was really sent, I'm afraid that more than 50 would be able to reach the high ground alive.

But this was the simplest request of the commander who fought bloody battles on the high ground. As the commander, he understood extremely well that his Tang sword would not disappoint him.

The cost is naturally huge.

Three consecutive stretchers rushed into the sky, lifting 15 seriously injured people from the high ground at the cost of losing sixteen people.

16 people died! 15 people may not be born.

In fact, only six seriously injured people lifted from the high ground could survive until the third day after the war.

If this is an arithmetic question, Tang Dao, the answerer, completely failed.

But war is never a simple numerical calculation.

Tang Dao believes it is worth it.

Just like he led these soldiers to fight here.

As a future man, he certainly knew that with the current direction of the entire war, the song of Jinling's sad song was inevitable. He could lead his troops to retreat to the other side of the river and purify his subordinates in order to fight again in the future.

But he didn't. Even if he was a mantis chariot, he had to ask these beasts for an explanation for Jinling's grief. If he missed today, it would be difficult for him to find them again.

If these beasts want to be butchers, they must first taste the taste of being slaughtered.

His soldiers also thought it was worth it.

The soldiers of the stretcher team resolutely threw themselves into the artillery fire, even if they knew they would go away.

They not only saved the lives of seriously injured people, but more importantly, they kept the last hope of their comrades on the high ground.

If you dare to die, we will also dare to die!

For a soldier, the biggest thing is life and death, but for the commanders, what they have to face is whether a hundred people die or a thousand people die, whether a thousand people die or a thousand people die.

This is war. Whether it is the highest commander, the middle and low-level officer or the soldiers, they have to make their own choices because they have to stick to it.

Tang Dao determines the life and death of more than 2,000 people; Wei Donglai determines whether he and more than 100 people under his command survive; soldiers determines whether he can sacrifice his life.

But perhaps no one expected that the tragic tragedy that made people stand tall before was just a warm-up compared to the sunny afternoon.

Everyone underestimated Kwanzaki's determination, including Li Shoushan and Takeuchi Yunshan.

Through the analysis of the battle report, Guoqian judged that the three highlands on the Chinese side, Highland No. 3, was the one with the weakest firepower. After a continuous morning of bloody battles, they were now at the end of their strength.

As long as you try some more, they will collapse.

The Jing'an Army, which had almost been destroyed, did not become the main force this time, and a Japanese infantry brigade took their position.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! After reading the order from Major General Kyosaki Yasu, who had not spoken for an hour, he said the first thing he said was to issue military orders, reorganize the team attacking the mountain, and form a suicide squadron that arrived almost at the same time as Kyosaki Yasu's orders.

The cavalry naturally had horses. Highland No. 3 was not a steep place, and the slope was relatively gentle. It was not difficult to climb the mountain. Of course, they had to wait until two infantry squadrons rushed into the position, then rode their horses up the mountain, and used the height and strength of the horses to wield the sabre in their hands to destroy the Chinese soldiers on the field who might be able to fight hand-to-hand.

In addition, the two Type 89 tanks were reached under the hillside of Highland No. 3 by the tank soldiers through the road paved with sandbags and wood of the engineers. The thick armor and the high-rise 57mm tank gun gave the Japanese infantry enough courage.

This is also the tactical adjustment that Takeuchi Yunshan made after receiving the lesson of being defeated by the Chinese in the last round of hand-to-hand combat. No matter how powerful the Chinese are, they can only resist in vain in front of the cavalry wielding sabres of the tall horse.

Since ancient times, infantry have been in front of the cavalry rushing into the queue, even in the era of hot weapons.

Of course, the reason why Takeuchi Yunshan dared to invest in nearly 400 regular troops was because the naval bomber formation arrived.

The commander of the Japanese Navy fleet, who suffered losses again, was extremely angry. In the second wave of attacks, he sent a huge bomber formation with 8 fighter jets escorting and 18 bombers full of bombs.

However, the majestic and huge bomber formation was still honest after all. It did not drop to a height below 1,000 meters, and then dropped bombs at an altitude of 1,000 meters.

There was no resistance on the ground.

Everyone hid in the tunnel.

Japanese fighter jets dropped more than 6 tons of bombs on three hills.

In addition, under the personal order of Kwanzaki Shin, four 105 howitzers, 16 mountain cannons, and 12 infantry cannons, bombarded the No. 3 highland for more than two hours.

According to statistics from the Japanese logistics officers after the war, at the request of Major General Kurosaki, 32 artillery fired a total of 3,000 shells, and 200 shots were fired in just 105 howitzers.

And that is half of the 105 howitzer shells are stored.

It can be said that since the violent bombing and artillery attack in the afternoon, the two positions on the top of the mountain of Highland No. 3 have almost disappeared. The soil on the top of the mountain is soft. With one kick, the stone powder and soil that has been blown into powder can bury a person's ankles.
