Chapter 586: Blood Stained Mountains
Qianshan County is the outer town of Dabie Mountain and the northern barrier of Anqing. The Japanese army believed that only by controlling the buried mountains could they ensure the capture of Wuhan without worries.
On June 14, ****** sent a telegram to Li Zongren and ordered Yang Sen, commander of the 27th Group Army, to lead the main force to defend the upper and lower stone pai and the hidden hills to wait for help.
Previously, Yang Sen ordered the 133rd Division to set up a battlefield to kill the enemy in the Hengshan Ridge of the Yuantan chessboard, and mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to dig trenches and build fortifications. The battle line stretched 15 miles from the east side of Hengshan Ridge to Maple Ridge, preparing to meet the invading Japanese army.
Subsequently, all the people around the location were transferred to the Huangbai Mountain area. The operational command was based on the Maple Ridge front.
In the early morning of June 15, the Sakai detachment of the Japanese invading army marched from Tongcheng to Huanghetang near Hengshan Ridge in a menacing manner.
Because of the Battle of Anqing, the officers and soldiers of the 133rd Division felt humiliated, so this was a battle of shame! The officers and men of the national army were high-spirited and ready for battle.
The barrage began early in the morning. Due to the mountainous terrain, the Japanese armored forces were completely ineffective, and could only send a dozen planes to bomb the positions in the air.
"Boom Boom" "......"
Smoke billowed from the position, obscuring the sky, and some of the hapless soldiers were blown into the sky along with the dust on the ground. After falling, it is shattered, and a blur of flesh and blood.
"Brothers, the devil is declining! They only have planes, no tanks, no warships. It's time to let these bastards taste the power of our 133rd Division! ”
The officers of the national army on the battlefield constantly boosted the morale of the soldiers.
After a round of indiscriminate bombardment, the Japanese ground forces began to attack. Hundreds of devils under the position screamed and rushed towards the position.
"Kill~" "Kill ......"
"Dadada" "......"
Gunfire rang out from the Yokoyama position, and countless bullets poured down like rain. The 133rd Division was condescending and occupied an absolutely favorable terrain.
Although there were some casualties in the previous bombing, the officers and men of the 133rd Division were not discouraged, but became more and more courageous as they fought, repelling round after round of onslaught attacks by the devils. The hillside was littered with the corpses of devils, and there were hundreds of them.
After a fierce battle for a morning, thousands of Japanese troops could not be attacked for a long time, and they suffered heavy casualties, so they did not dare to move forward.
"Yaga~ Why did the Yang Senbu collapse with one blow when it encountered the Hatian detachment, and the Sakai detachment was so tenacious when it encountered our Sakai detachment. Does Janssen look down on our Sakai detachment so much!? ”
The Japanese commander was very angry at the command. The Yokoyama position is a stubborn rock, and if the assault continues, the losses of the troops will be even heavier.
At this time, the troops that attacked Tangjiawan Town before had been rebuilt, and Xiaodao (Ouyang Tian) was now in this headquarters.
For Ouyang, it was not difficult to capture the Hengshan position, but he didn't say anything. It's just that I laughed at the big Zuo in front of me, the Pota detachment has warships and tanks, but you don't have it, who are you looking for desperately? You deserve to be out of luck.
However, there were still smart people among the devils, and one of the officers suggested: "Your Excellency, the reason why we have not been able to attack for a long time is that the Chinese army completely relies on the advantage of geographical advantages. And we are not familiar with the mountainous terrain in this area, so we can grab a local to help us guide us and attack from behind the enemy. ”
The commander nodded approvingly: "This method is good, go and execute it immediately."
In the afternoon, the Japanese army captured a family surnamed Lei from the area of Wanlingling and asked him to lead the way around Hengshan Ridge.
The surnamed Lei hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Imperial Army, I really don't know the way, you just wake up and let our family go."
The devil officer shouted in fear: "Baga Ya Road! Don't cry when you don't see the coffin, come on! ”
Two soldiers dragged his wife, surnamed Lei, into the soldiers' tent, where the woman kept crying for help and wailing.
The surnamed Lei cried: "You can't do this~God~"
The devil officer showed his fierce face, took out a pistol and pointed it at the children surnamed Lei, and threatened again: "If you don't take them, you will die!"
"I bring, I bring. Don't hurt my child. ”
The surnamed Lei reluctantly agreed to the devil's request, maybe the child is more important than the wife.
Subsequently, the surnamed Lei took a large number of devil troops to Wanling, passing through Songmaochong and Laolingtou.
However, not long after the troops left, the wife surnamed Lei was still ruined by a few devil soldiers.
Ouyang Tian held the apple in his hand and walked into the camp with the curiosity of the traverser, he wanted to witness this scene with his own eyes.
"You brutes! Brute! ”
The devil soldiers kept tearing the woman's clothes, and Ouyang Tian just bit the apple and watched.
A soldier walked up to Ouyang Tian, bowed his head and said, "Sir, why don't you come first."
Ouyang Tian spit the apple in his mouth the devil and scolded: "Baga~"
Seeing this, Ouyang didn't feel anything. His own crossing, he only regarded it as a real dream, and he only enjoyed the real and exciting pleasure.
Also, Ouyang wanted to find Zhao Fei as soon as possible to separate the winner from him, and use the real battlefield and human lives to play the game. Thinking about Ouyang Tian made me feel excited, because this could not happen in this world.
The Japanese army, under the leadership of the surname Lei, began to outflank in a big way. It was now afternoon, and Shao Fei and Li Ping had just arrived here and discovered the unit.
"Hengshan Ridge is not in the south, where are so many devils going?"
On a small hillside, Li Ping looked at the devils on the road down the hill and asked Shao Fei.
Shao Fei had been watching with a telescope, and after putting it down, he replied: "Outflank and attack the national army from behind."
Li Ping said anxiously: "That's okay, I'll go and inform the national army."
Shao Fei said helplessly: "It's too late, the east and north of Hengshan Ridge are all blocked by devils, and if you want to inform the national army, you have to go around to the south."
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army quietly launched a sudden attack from behind the Nationalist army, and the Nationalist army was caught off guard and was in a passive situation when attacked by the enemy on its belly and back.
The Japanese army also cut off the logistics supply line of the defenders of Hengshan Ridge, and sent troops to build positions to block the reinforcements in Meicheng.
The two regiments of the 133rd Division could only fight alone, intending to fight with the devils to the end, and use their blood to stain the position of Hengshan Ridge until they died to the last man.
After two days of bloody battles, the 133rd Division of the 27th Group Army of the National Army killed countless enemies until they ran out of ammunition and food.
"Brothers, the time has come to kill the enemy and serve the country, and the time has come to stain the battlefield with blood! Horizontal and vertical are death, kill one more devil, and you will be loyal to this country! Kill! ”
The officers of the 133rd Division bore the brunt and were the first to rush out of their positions; The soldiers followed, one after the other.
"Kill!" "Kill the devil!" “……”
With a roar of killing, the roar resounded across the mountains, and the mountains and forests seemed to tremble.
The two armies fought hand-to-hand combat to the death. Thousands of people were killed in the dark, and flesh and blood were flying.
After two hours of bloody fighting, 2,000 officers and men of the 133rd Division died heroically on the Hengshan Ridge. Use their young lives to compose a tragic blood song.
(PS: After the battle, the two thousand loyal souls were not collected.) It was not until three months later, when the Japanese army withdrew to Anqing, that the common people dared to come back. Seeing the corpses all over the mountains, the people were in tears, and only then did they bury these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country one by one. And erect a monument for future generations to remember. But how many people in the country know about it now? The information is hard to find, and the New Fourth Army has recorded the killing of three devils, and it can be easily found. )
