The soldiers of the Yunnan Army experienced the fierce battle between spirit and flesh, blood and fire, and at the same time experienced the baptism of modern warfare, and they were fearless.

"Buzz" "......"

An annoying cacophony resounded through the sky again.

"Air raids! Air raid! ”

There was a constant shouting from below. The soldier seemed to have gotten used to such a rhythm, and habitually hid in the hole and covered his ears.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

Dozens of planes began to bomb indiscriminately, and the Japanese army's fighting style remained unchanged. The fighters knew that there should be ground shelling below.

Dozens of cannons on the ground began to beat Yuwang Mountain repeatedly, maybe just grab a handful of soil, and you can pick up more than a dozen pieces of shrapnel.

This obstacle, which gave the Japanese army a headache for more than 20 days, actually blocked the attack of tens of thousands of troops. They want to blow it up and wipe it off the map.

The entire Yuwang Mountain is shrouded in artillery fire, covering the sky and the sun. A few days ago, the bodies of the martyrs, who had been buried blackened, were turned out again by shells, and it was difficult to settle in the ground. When the fortifications were blown up, the soldiers erected the corpses of the enemy and the remains of their comrades.

"It's not a way to fight like this, let alone the fortifications, I think Yuwang Mountain is about to be blown up!"

Wan Baobang, the commander of the 543 Brigade, had a dusty face and came to the command to complain.

In the more than 20 days of fighting, 184 has lost more than 2,000 people, but most of them have died from such artillery fire. And today's artillery fire is more intensive, more intense, and more frantic than ever.

Zhang Chong pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the Japanese army will not attack during the day. Transfer the soldiers on Yuwang Mountain to both wings, and leave a group to guard the mountain. ”

"Yes!"

Wan Baobang saluted and left the headquarters.

Chief of Staff Ma Yifei said: "It's not a way to fight like this. It is obvious that the Japanese army is fighting a war of attrition, they are outnumbered and artillery, and we will not last long. ”

Zhang Chong asked, "Then do you have any good ideas?"

Ma Yifei shook his head and said, "Our Eighth Route Army rarely fights positional warfare. Who called us poor, some troops can't share a gun between two people. ”

Zhang Chong said: "Not necessarily, right? Shao Fei once led a large team to fight to the death with the Nakajima United team, and also won a big victory. It's not that you don't have enough guns, it's that you're developing too fast. ”

Ma Yifei sighed: "He has this ability. The Double Flying Brigade is not the fastest-growing, but the strongest. In that battle, he was to protect the people, but he was also helpless. It's a pity that such a good talent. ”

"If you hadn't pushed him, he wouldn't have come this far."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Chong took a breath of "huh~", stopped talking, and didn't say any more.

At night, the Japanese began a ground attack. Nakajima Kawadai commanded the formation and ordered the troops to attack Yuwang Mountain in three ways at the same time. The middle lane is the main attack, the left and right wings assist in the defense, and the overall battle formation is in the shape of "Pin".

"Boom Boom" "......"

Both launched an extraordinary artillery bombardment. On the pitch-black earth, only Yuwang Mountain emitted a dazzling light. The earth shook, and the air trembled in the fighting. And life is constantly disappearing.

"Jingle bell~" The command phone rang suddenly.

"Hey~ I'm Zhang Chong!"

"Report! The Japanese army even Keke my 1085th regiment three lines of defense! ”

"What!? It's less than an hour! How do you keep it!? ”

Zhang Chong didn't believe his ears, the defense line of more than a thousand people was easily broken in such a short time.

"Now the three battalions are still resisting, but with heavy losses! The Japanese army was divided into three routes, with a convex frontal attack in the middle and a strong defense on the left and right flanks. Also, the enemy was attacking continuously, and it didn't stop for an hour. ”

"I know, let me resist it first!"

Zhang Chong hung up the phone forcefully.

Chief of Staff Ma Yifei asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Chong sighed and said, "I kind of regret that I let go of the Nakajima River steps. He is not only proficient in modern warfare, but also proficient in ancient warfare. They used Du Zhen. ”

"Du Zhen?"

Ma Yifei didn't seem to have heard of it, and Zhang Chong explained: "It was invented by the ancestors two thousand years ago, and it is recorded in "Sun Bin's Art of War". Sun Bin listed it as one of the ten formations. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this formation has been widely used, and it has been proved that Du Formation is a very effective charging formation. I didn't expect Nakajima to be used in modern warfare. ”

The so-called Du formation is a battle formation in which the forwards are like cones. The Formation must be sharp and swift forwards and tough and powerful on the wings. You can attack the enemy in a narrow frontal area through an elite striker, break through and cut off the enemy's position, and expand the results of the battle on both flanks at the same time. It is a formation that emphasizes offensive breakthroughs.

One of the characteristics of the Du Formation is that it is not possible to carry out this formation by non-elite attack troops. Nakajima Kawadai has been applied to modern warfare and changed to be more powerful through the combination of left and right firepower.

Ma Yifei suggested: "How about ordering the 1086th Regiment in the southeast position to be cut off from the middle?"

"No, I can't. It's going to be flanked back and forth. ”

Zhang Chong waved his hand and vetoed Ma Yifei's plan.

While Zhang Chong was thinking, Xu Changqing walked in from outside the headquarters.

"I heard that three lines of defense were broken in less than an hour, so I'll take a look."

Xu Changqing glanced at Ma Yifei with a hateful smile, and said, "Isn't this chief of staff from Yan'an insightful?" The use of soldiers is superb, and I am very admirable in the following. ”

The enemy was very red when they met, and Ma Yifei asked unceremoniously: "What are you doing here?" This is not the place for you to come. ”

"Nothing?" Xu Changqing smiled, handed the note to Zhang Chong, and said, "Let's go."

Zhang Chong opened the note, and there was one word "goose" in it. After reading it, Zhang Chong smiled: "It coincides."

"Someone!"

"Here!" The heralds hurried.

Zhang Chong ordered: "Order, Wan Baobang will lead all artillery units to carry out a joint night battle of infantry and artillery to slow down the enemy's attack; ordered, the independent battalion of the 1086th regiment made a detour to the front of the enemy's right flank, and blocked it with a company as a unit; ordered the three battalions of the 1088th Regiment on the left flank to go around to the front of the enemy's left flank, and block the attack as a company like the independent battalion; Order the 3rd Battalion of the 1085th Regiment to abandon its position and let the enemy come in the middle! ”

"Yes!" The signal corps immediately went to deliver the order.

(PS: The joint night battle of infantry artillery was also invented by Zhang Chong.) Use all infantry guns, mortar guns, and grenadiers to aim at the enemy's main routes of attack and retreat, and carry out continuous artillery bombardment. Suitable for night battles only. ）

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

Wan Baobang commanded the artillery unit and launched an artillery bombardment of the Japanese offensive line in front. It effectively slowed down the pace of the Japanese attack.

The independent battalion and the three battalions of the 1088th Regiment quickly detoured to the front of the enemy's left and right flanks to block the attack. The three battalions of the 1085th Regiment suffered most of the casualties and withdrew from the battle.

The Japanese army drove straight into the middle of the road as if it were no one, and attacked the mountainside area and was fiercely blocked by the second battalion of the 1085th Regiment.

The three-way Japanese army was completely separated by the Dian army and started a one-on-one duel. However, the Japanese army was frantically shelled by the "artillery god" Wan Baobang (graduated from the Japanese Army Artillery Section) and suffered greater losses, and the Dian army occupied a very favorable terrain.

The Japanese army's continuous attack tactics were also slowly disintegrated by Zhang Chong's continuous blockade.

The battle situation went from the Japanese army's momentum to stalemate, to the final inadequacy. In the end, he had no choice but to withdraw.

The Dian army on Yuwang Mountain is like a hard stone and soft cotton, no matter what tactics the Japanese army uses, it will not take any advantage.

Even so, Nakajima Kawajie still spared no effort to attack Yuwang Mountain, and his combat intention was to continuously consume the combat power of the Dian army.

The battle on Yuwang Mountain was in full swing, but Takeuchi Shixiong didn't know that the special combat team had already set its sights on their division headquarters. A humiliating battle is in front of Sakagaki.
