"Bang!"

Yoshio Shinozuka threw the telescope from his hand to the side, and said angrily: "Yagaya Road, two wings, more than 9,000 troops with the strength of an infantry brigade as an assault group, and they can't even take the new defensive position at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge valley. What does Ichiro Nanata eat? The artillery fire of an artillery wing continued to bombard, covering their onslaught on the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army at Taniguchi, but they could not take a defensive position of the other side. A bunch of waste, eight ga road. ”。

Yoshio Shinozuka scolded and scolded, the strength of the two infantry wings of the 40th Brigade under the command of Ichiro Nanada had been fighting for almost an hour. The casualties were the strength of an infantry brigade, and he was stunned that he couldn't break through the defensive position at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge guarded by Shen Qun's department, and the angry Yoshio Shinozuka scolded.

At this time, the temporary chief of staff of the army, Yusuke Tohi, who was standing beside Yoshio Shinozuka, stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Excellency Commander, the field of vision in front of the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge is wide and the terrain is flat, which is conducive to the firepower of the defenders of the Eighth Route Army. Although we had more than 30 75-mm mountain guns and several 100-mm heavy guns of the artillery wing to cover the attack, the opponent occupied a geographical advantage that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and under such conditions, it was understandable that it would be difficult to overcome the defensive position of the new regiment at the mouth of the valley for a while. What's more, Your Excellency Commander, judging from the current observations, it is estimated that after another ten minutes or so, it is estimated that you will be able to break through the defensive position of China at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Valley. Your Excellency, Commander, rest your anger! ”。

In fact, Yoshio Shinozuka was just angry and a little annoyed. After all, Ichiro Nanata commanded his two wings to storm fiercely, and under the cover of the artillery fire of nearly one artillery wing, it had been almost an hour since the onslaught, and the elite of the Japanese army, who had suffered casualties of about one infantry brigade, still failed to take the defensive position held by Shen Qun's department at the mouth of the valley of the Golden Dragon Gorge.

As Yusuke Dohi comforted him, Yoshio Shinozuka borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, at least for the time being, and it was impossible to punish Nanata's Ichiro too much.

"Forget it, order Nanata Ichiro, give him another half an hour, and give me a new regiment of defensive positions at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge. Tu Feijun, have the fighters at Yangmingbao Airport been dispatched? ”

Yusuke Tohi said: "Your Excellency Commander, according to the report from the call from Yangmingbao Airport seven or eight minutes ago, they have already been dispatched, and it is estimated that there will be about ten minutes to rush to the sky above Heng Mountain. ”。

"Yo Si. The 8th Air Wing dispatched from Yangmingbao Airport was ordered to carry out a fierce bombardment of Cuiping Peak, Tianfeng Ridge, Hutou Mountain, and other places in the Hengshan Zhina base area once it flew over Hengshan Mountain. At least multiple batches of continuous bombardment, I want to blow up the new base nest in Hengshan into ruins. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka was murderous, gritting his teeth and ordering Yusuke Tohi.

Seeing this, Yusuke Dohi knew that Yoshio Shinozuka was already stingy with aerial bombs, at least the most important stronghold of the new group of nests here, and they were all taken care of by the aerial bombing.

"Hai, Your Excellency, Commander! Immediately convey your order to the aviation unit at Yangmingbao Airport. Yusuke Dohi paused heavily, then quickly turned around and walked to the side, signaling the Japanese army signal corps of the temporary field headquarters to use the radio to send a report to the Japanese commander at the Yangmingbao Airport, informing him of the need to convey Yoshio Shinozuka's orders.

At this time, with the order for Yoshio Shinozuka to continue the onslaught, at this time, the commander of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, who was in charge of the blocking position held by Shen Qun at the mouth of the valley of the Jinlong Gorge, had to continue to order his troops to intensify the attack. Still according to the old pattern, an infantry brigade was used as an attack tactical group, and it attacked Shen Qun's headquarters in Taniguchi in waves. Wu Jiu Literature

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! A shrill whistling sound erupted from the woods six or seven hundred meters in front of the valley mouth, whistling and smashing into the new defensive position of the valley mouth with a long tail flame.

The cannonball landed and exploded, and the force of the explosion lifted up the snow and dirt on the ground. The smoke of artillery fire was filled, white smoke enveloped the valley mouth, and the Japanese soldiers shouted and killed.

At this time, there were more than 700 soldiers in the headquarters of Shen Qun of the second battalion of the new 1st Regiment guarding the two flanks of Taniguchi and its frontal positions, and under the protection of the only two remaining reinforced concrete pillbox fortifications and several trenches and barbed wire fortifications, they fired forward with dead firepower to block several waves of onslaught of Japanese troops commanded by Nanata Ichiro.

The two sides were almost close to each other at one point, but fortunately, Zhao Gang knew that if he fought in close combat, he would inevitably be entangled by the large number of Japanese troops. Therefore, Zhao Gang coordinated and ordered Shen Qun, relying on the fortifications at the mouth of the valley, to repel the onslaught of the Japanese army from a distance, and never to be able to engage in hand-to-hand combat and bayonet combat with the Japanese army at close range.

"Made, this little devil is crazy! Doesn't he rest? I'm treated! ”

In the bunker of the second battalion headquarters behind Taniguchi, Shen Qun, who was observing the battle situation in front through the observation port, was dumbfounded. The Japanese army commanded by Ichiro Nanata continued to storm their own fortifications at the mouth of the valley of the Jinlong Gorge with the tactical shock group of an infantry brigade, and they did not retreat from the battle, and waves of Japanese death squads of hundreds of people helped the white cloth strips to rush towards Taniguchi's own position without fear of death, looking like a suicidal attack, which made Shen Qun admire the little devil's will to attack.

"Battalion commander, the third company has lost more than half. The deputy battalion commander reported that the trenches on the position were flattened by the artillery fire of the little devils, and the barbed wire fortifications in front were blown away by the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese army. A few more times, it is estimated that Taniguchi's position will not be able to be saved. What to do? At this time, a field herald rushed in from the door of the battalion headquarters, and hurriedly reported to Shen Qun after standing up and saluting.

Shen Qun took the binoculars and looked at the fierce battle at Taniguchi, knowing that if he continued to fight, most of the fortifications at Taniguchi had been damaged, and if he continued to fight, there would be no support for the fortifications to completely hold Taniguchi.

"Order Rong Zhenguo to command the first company and the second company to cover behind the palace and slowly retreat. The rest of the men and horses retreated to the rear plank road! Fast! Shen Qun ordered in a condensed voice, at this time it was time to abandon the defensive position at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Valley, judging from the current artillery bombardment situation of the little devils, the artillery in the hands of Yoshio Shinozuka could at least fight for a long time.

The valley mouth is narrow, and the reinforced concrete pillboxes have been blown up by the Japanese artillery and are completely lost, and at this time there is no strong support fortification to support the defenders for defense, and it is time to evacuate.

"Yes, Battalion Commander." The field herald stood up and saluted, then the cat ducked over the shells and bullets flying outside, and ran outside along the trench connecting the door of the bunker to deliver the order.

At the end of the order, Rong Zhenguo, deputy commander of the 2nd Battalion, commanded the 2nd Company and some of the men and horses to cover the 3rd Company and its other main forces of the 2nd Battalion to retreat to the plank road several hundred meters behind.

Nearly nine minutes or so later, Yoshio Shinozuka finally saw through the binoculars the little devil military flag erected by the little devils on the valley mouth of the valley after Nanada Ichiro's Japanese troops captured the valley mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge. It's just that Yoshio Shinozuka also got the Japanese army under the command of Ichiro Nanata, with heavy casualties of at least 2,000 people, and it can be said that it was only after heavy casualties that he captured the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge.
