When Yang Ling and the others fought in Changling and the devils who attacked wildly, in Zhanggu Mountain, the northern end of Changling, the battle situation was even more tragic.

The main force of the brigade, commanded by the commander of the 136th Brigade of the Devil, charged frantically towards the defenders' positions in waves, and the casualties of the defenders rose sharply.

The devil planes hovering over Zhanggushan kept dropping high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs, and the entire Zhanggushan was like a crater, full of scorched earth and stumps.

The smell of gunpowder explosion and burning filled the air, and the position was like being roasted in a high-temperature furnace.

Chang Xiaode, the commander of the 306th Regiment, was also a fierce general who had grown up from the war, and his eyes were bloodshot and red when he saw his company disappear from the position one by one.

"Tuanza! The commander of the third battalion was shot and died! ”

A scorched and ragged brother rushed to the regiment leader, Chang Xiaode, and reported the heart-wrenching news with a sad face.

"Let the deputy battalion commander act as the battalion commander to command!"

Chang Xiaode, the commander of the 306th Regiment, well concealed his grief under his cold face, and ordered in a cold voice with a cold face.

The soldiers who came to report the news saw that the regiment commander Chang Xiaode heard the sacrifice of the battalion commander, and his face did not change at all, and he was also stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Yes!" ”

Unbeknownst to the soldier, when he turned to deliver the order, there was already a sparkle in the eyes of the ruthless regimental commander.

"Let the divisional artillery support us, and just say... Let's just say we can't hold it anymore. ”

Chang Xiaode quickly calmed down his grief, and he lowered his noble head almost without pleading.

The devils are indeed crazy, Zhang Gushan is their only breakthrough now, and only by capturing this place can they rush out and join the 27th Division.

If they can't get through here, then their entire 106th Division will only end up being wiped out, so they are attacking at all costs.

The battle had not stopped since the morning, and one wave of devils was knocked down, and another wave of devils rushed up howling again, leaving the defending officers and men with little respite.

The devils tried to break the will of the defenders with this continuous ferocious attack and tear open the gap in the breakthrough, but they forgot that their opponent was also a strong army that had grown up in a sea of corpses and blood.

"Kill Gaigai!"

The howl of the devil commander resounded in the smoke again, and a large group of devils with their upper bodies and bayonets rushed to Zhang Gushan, where the trenches were full of corpses.

The devil did not encounter any resistance this time, because the brothers guarding the top had been blown up by the devil's artillery fire, and had become broken flesh and bones mixed in the dirt on the ground.

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

The devil soldiers burst into earth-shattering cheers when they saw the empty position, and many of them wept with joy.

They had already killed and wounded more than 2,000 people in a short morning to capture this position, and they were glad that they were still alive and cheered for the capture of Zhanggu Mountain.

"Finally rushed up."

In the telescope surrounded by the smoke of gunpowder, the tense face of Major General Aoki Kei, the commander of the 136th Brigade of the Devil, finally relaxed slightly.

Attacking Zhanggushan means that they have torn the encirclement of the Chinese army, and they will soon be able to rush out along this gap to join the 27th Division, and they will be able to avoid the danger of annihilation.

"Send a report to the general that our unit has captured Zhanggushan ...... at 12 o'clock on the 4th."

"Boom!"

The words of the brigade commander Kei Aoki, interrupted by the earth-shattering explosion, he turned his head with difficulty to see a dark red mushroom cloud rising from the position.

Almost at the same time that the devil soldiers planted their blood-red Rising Sun Flag at the commanding heights of Zhang Gushan, the whistling cannonballs blew the devil's Rising Sun Flag and the devil who planted the flag in two.

"Boom, boom......"

In the dim sky, there was a sharp whistling of cannonballs tearing through the air, and the overwhelming cannonballs shrouded towards the Zhanggushan position that the devils had just captured.

"The cannonballs of the people of China, disperse quickly!"

The cheering devil soldiers were stunned like frozen sculptures, and it was not until the officer shouted that they reacted, and they scurried around in embarrassment.

But it was too late, the calibration of the artillery Zhu Yuan had already locked on Zhang Gushan, and the earth-shattering cannon soon drowned out the screams and shouts of the devils.

In just a few minutes, when the sound of artillery stopped, the mountain wind blew away the smoke of gunpowder, and a squadron of devils who rushed up to Zhanggushan was already wiped out under the covered bombardment of artillery fire.

And this scene happened under the eyes of Major General Kei Aoki, the commander of the Devil Brigade, watching his subordinates being blown into flying ashes, his facial muscles twitched violently, and he couldn't remember how many squadrons were completely annihilated.

"Up! Above! Get on it! ”

As soon as the shelling stopped, on the hillside on the other side, a company of Chinese officers and soldiers rushed to Zhang Gushan's position amid the shouts of the company commander, and they wanted to take advantage of the devil's failure to come up and occupy it!

"Order the artillery units to bombard the Chinese army that rushed to the position!" The brigade commander, Major General Aoki Kei, rolled with anger in his chest and said fiercely.

"Brigade commander, we have no more shells...... "The head of the artillery reported the sad news to him in frustration.

In order to go into battle lightly, their troops not only did not carry many supplies, but also carried very few shells, and they had already run out of them in the morning.

"No......" Aoki muttered to himself, seemingly disbelieving.

The person in charge of the artillery nodded, his expression very helpless.

"Then you guys get on." A fierce look flashed on Aoki Kei's face, and he turned his head to a captain and said viciously: "Let the people of China see the strength of our Great Japanese Imperial Army!" ”

The captain looked at the position of Zhang Gushan, where the corpses were piled up, nodded, pulled out his saber, and strode towards his exhausted troops.

"Kill Gaigai!" The devil shouted the slogan of shaking the sky, and also began to charge at Zhang Gushan.

Soon, on Zhang Gushan's position, the gunfire suddenly became fierce, and in the rain of bullets like locusts, the two troops who shouted to kill the heavens collided fiercely.

"Poof!"

"Bang!"

"Ugh!"

The two sides collided like high-speed trains, and in the sound of bones shattering, a large rain of blood flew into the air.

In order to defend the honor of their troops and their motherland, every Chinese officer and soldier has a firm vision and a determined heart to die.

Although the homeland they defended did not give them anything...... The blood was boiling, shouting the slogan of defending the family and the country, and resolutely rushed to the devil's cold bayonet.

The devil soldiers are unkempt and hideous, they are fanatical militarists, brainwashed by bushido, and they are also fearless to run into them.

"Poof!" When the devil's bayonet stabbed into the chest of the Chinese officer and soldier before he had time to pull it out, more bayonets stabbed into his body.

It was a brutal white-knuckle battle, brutal and bloody, with both sides colliding together in a dense manner, stabbing each other with any deadly weapon, and everyone went crazy.

"Your mother's little devil, come on!"

One of the brothers pulled a grenade and rushed into the densest crowd, and the two sides of the scuffle were blown up together in a pool of blood, and the brief vacuum of the dense melee was quickly filled with roaring and shouting men.

The two sides continued to send troops one after another, and then there were no bones, and the officers and men of the 51st Division fought to the death with the devils in Zhanggushan, and the two sides killed in the dark.

From morning to dusk, the two sides fought all day, and the 306th Regiment also paid a heavy price, one deputy regiment commander, two battalion commanders, and five company commanders died, and the remaining officers and soldiers suffered more than half of the casualties.
