In one night, the Japanese army suffered two defeats, and Okamura Ninji, who was sitting in the rear, was furious. So he ordered a wing of the 101st Division to set out from Pengze to support. said that it was support, but in fact, it was to contain the 16th and 77th divisions.

Okamura Ninji saw the entire battle situation very thoroughly, and also found loopholes in the enemy's deployment. There are a total of three battlefields in the Hukou area, Yangjiashan, Zhongjiakou, and Longtan Mountain, and their loopholes are in Longtan Mountain, because the 26th Division is the weakest. As long as the 11th, 16th, and 77th divisions are pinned down with troops, Longtan Mountain will not be broken in a few days. As soon as Longtan Mountain is broken, it is easy to capture the mouth of the lake.

Okamura Ninji immediately ordered: "Tell the 11th Fleet to continue westward, and the area around Pingkou can cover Longtan Mountain with firepower; ordered all the planes of the Air Force to bomb Longtan Mountain; The Botian detachment was ordered to capture Longtan Mountain on the morning of the 4th and occupy the mouth of the lake in the afternoon. ”

"Yes!"

"Wait."

Okamura waved his hand and instructed, "Give me all the information about falcons." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

The adjutant turned to leave. Okamura Ninji began to care about the "Falcon", an opponent that caused headaches for many of the Empire's best generals.

The special combat team completed its mission and returned to its position in Longtan Mountain. Because the Pota detachment plugged the gap in time, the special combat team completed half of the task.

Back at the position, Shao Fei asked the others to rest first and go to see Chen Haotian by himself.

Coming to the headquarters, Chen Haotian and Zhu Zaitang have been waiting for Shao Fei.

"How's it going?"

Shao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My hands are soft when I killed." The 46th Brigade has gone to Meilankou, at least it can contain the enemy and relieve the pressure on Longtan Mountain. ”

Zhu Zaitang stood up from his seat, his face was not very good-looking, and said: "The Japanese army has increased its troops again, and the 101st Division set off from Pengze overnight. ”

"Predictably, if there are no troops yet, the balance will be upset. As soon as the 16th and 77th Divisions return to help, the Potian Detachment and the 106th Division under the mountain will be in trouble. The more the Japanese army is like this, the more it proves that they are eager to capture the Longtan Mountain position, and tomorrow will be a fierce battle. ”

Shao Fei felt a little tired. Chen Haotian patted Shao Fei and said, "You better go and rest first." ”

After Shao Fei left, Chen Haotian went to the front line alone. Tomorrow will be a vicious battle, if you don't know that Longtan Mountain will be lost tomorrow, Chen Haotian will use his own methods to fight.

In the early morning of the 3rd, just after dawn, the Hatian detachment could not wait to launch an attack. Chen Haotian personally commanded the front-line troops to fight, after all, he had the blood of the Sichuan army in his bones.

As usual, the Japanese launched the first artillery bombardment, and the power of this shell was the same as yesterday, it was heavy artillery, and it came from the naval fleet on the river. A single shell can kick up dust more than ten meters high.

Chen Haotian immediately ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions.

After yesterday's battle, the 155th Regiment had been crippled, so the 155th Regiment and the 154th Regiment were combined into one offensive and defensive position, and the combined number of the two regiments was only 2,000 men.

The position withstood such shelling, and in less than an hour there was perhaps not a single one alive.

After an hour of almost frantic shelling, the forward positions were almost leveled. But the sound of the cannon did not stop, it only became much more sparse.

The ground rapid troops of the Hatian detachment began to attack the mountain.

At this time, Shao Fei rushed to the forward command headquarters with the special combat team, and Shao Fei asked, "Why don't you call the troops back to the position?" ”

Chen Haotian's expression was serious, and his eyes revealed a trace of compassion. He didn't want to answer Shao Fei's question, he just looked at the position ahead with his glasses.

Shao Fei began to be anxious and asked again, "I'll ask you." You want to fight white-knuckle battles, don't you, do you think those recruits can fight to kill a few devils? ”

Chen Haotian put down the binoculars and said, "Is that still a position?" ”

The vanguard of the Japanese army quickly attacked the position, and the follow-up troops also poured in, about 400 people.

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

Suddenly, explosions continued to sound on the forward position, and the position was very even.

Shao Fei hurriedly picked up the binoculars and observed, and in the gray dust, there were constantly Sichuan soldiers coming out of the holes in the ground, with grenades strapped to their bodies. After crawling out, regardless of whether there were devils around, they couldn't help but pull off the bombs on their bodies directly, and used their flesh and blood to guard their positions.

"Holy!"

Shao Fei couldn't bear to watch it. He knew that this was Chen Haotian's masterpiece. When he was in Wuhan before, he had heard of Chen Haotian's previous way of fighting, that is, to let his soldiers fight to the death with devils, and it was worth fighting each other.

The Sichuan army is weak, the soldiers are weak, and the equipment is weak, in Chen Haotian's pessimistic heart, he earns all the hard work, but Shao Fei really doesn't dare to agree with this way of fighting that annihilates the humanity of the war.

These daredevils, what kind of thoughts did they go through before they died. Shao Fei didn't want to think about it, which was one of the reasons why he never formed a death squad

Chen Haotian almost arranged a company of death squads, which were distributed throughout the position. As long as all the devils enter the position, the people who are still alive come out of the hole in the ground and directly blow themselves up, blowing up the position.

"Kill~" "Kill~" "......"

After the explosion, the follow-up troops of the Sichuan army quickly charged and killed the remaining devils one by one.

"It's worth it for 116 people to be such a devil."

Chen Haotian put down the binoculars and said in a low voice. Shao Fei didn't say anything, he didn't have the right to accuse and complain. This may be the war song that belongs specifically to the Sichuan army.

Chen Haotian took out a notebook and gave it to Shao Fei and said, "There are 116 people's names, home addresses, and family members here." Their family is also my Chen Haotian's family. ”

Shao Fei didn't look at it. This may be a kind of sadness, those soldiers may know that they will die on the position of Longtan Mountain, sooner or later, it is better to be a death squad and earn some compensation for their families.

Half an hour later, the Japanese again launched an artillery bombardment. However, this time they dispatched the air force, and the coverage area was no longer the forward position, but the entire hilltop of Longtan Mountain.

The cannon roared, the position burned hot, and the earth screamed. Thousands of soldiers of the Sichuan Army forged their military souls with blood in the midst of artillery fire.

Under the suppression of artillery fire, the ground forces of the devils attacked again,

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

The soldiers of the Sichuan army fought back in the firelight. The regiment commander Qiang Zhaofu led the remnants of the 155th Regiment to the forefront of the position, and he seemed to have realized that he would die with his own soldiers.

Qiang Zhaofu took the rifle with the bayonet, jumped up, and shouted with all the strength of his body: "Let the blood of the Sichuan army stain this position red!" Come on! ”

Due to the lack of firepower, the Japanese quickly rushed to the position. Qiang Zhaofu took the lead and rushed out of the trench with all the soldiers.

The soldiers of the Sichuan army seem to have the consciousness of death, and they are desperate to fight with the devils. Stabbing, wrestling, throat biting,...... Do whatever it takes, as long as you can kill the devil.

The pillar could not stand it any longer, and ordered: "Let's go!" ”

Chen Haotian stopped: "You can't go." ”

But Shao Fei didn't give the order to stop it, and the special combat team rushed out without hesitation.

Chen Haotian asked, "Why don't you stop it, they should go to the battlefield that is more suitable for them?" ”

Shao Fei replied: "The commander is the soul of the troops, and they, like me, will suffocate to death if they look at it." ”

After speaking, Shao Fei also left the headquarters.

The special operators rushed out of the trench with bayonets in hand and angry flames.

Qiang Zhaofu roared: "The falcon is here, kill!" ”

His scream startled the devil, and suddenly a bullet flew in and hit Qiang Zhaofu directly. When the knife saw it, he flew the bayonet in his hand and hit the gunman directly in the throat.

Qiang Zhaofu slowly fell to the ground, unconscious. At this time, suddenly someone shouted in the crowd: "Avenge the regiment commander!" ”

A sense of grief and indignation surrounded the hearts of the Sichuan soldiers, and they fought with incomparable anger against the devils in front of them.

After the fierce battle, the forward positions were bloody. Thousands of corpses lay across the land, and Longtan Mountain became the final destination of their souls.

In the end, there were only more than 600 people left in the two regiments, and in desperation, the 76th Brigade supplemented the 156th Regiment and continued to defend this position.
