For the Japanese pit on Mt. Oriba...... If it's a bottom-up attack, it might be troublesome. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because these tunnels are combined with pillbox fortifications and trenches on the ground, there is even a part of the tunnel mouth that covers each other...... These may be some of the lessons learned by the Japanese army after the First World War on the island of Peleliu.

However, when the expeditionary force first captures the hilltop position and then attacks from above, the situation is completely different...... Almost all of the Japanese fortifications were facing downward, and the expeditionary force attacked from top to bottom by naturally aiming their guns at the back of their fortifications, so the Japanese could not defend even if they wanted to.

The reason why the word "almost" is used here is because it is a mountain, and it is inevitable that some protruding stones and stumps on the mountain will be used as reverse fortifications by the Japanese army.

But there were still problems with the Japanese army doing this...... At the foot of Oriba Mountain, there were still Chinese troops, and the Japanese troops who used the reverse fortifications turned their backs in front of the guns of the soldiers of the second regiment on the other side.

So, after resisting for a while, Kuribayashi Tadamichi reluctantly ordered: "All personnel withdraw to the tunnel and hold on!" ”

Next, all the expeditionary force had to do was throw the explosives bags into the fuse...... This is the favorite thing of the soldiers of the expeditionary force, for the simple reason that there is basically no danger, but it can hold the devil in the tunnel, not to mention how enjoyable it is to explode.

There's another episode in this......

The explosives packets thrown into the tunnels of the Japanese soldiers always made the Japanese soldiers throw them out and explode outside, which made the soldiers a little angry.

But the fighters soon showed their strengths and figured out how to deal with this counter-surrender of the Japanese army.

Some fighters tied grenades to explosive packets and wrapped them in cloth, pulling off the safety pins of the grenades before dropping the packs...... Of course, the devil can't find the cat in the tunnel, and he sees that the fuse is still long, so he wants to throw it back as usual, but the result is that it was blown up with a "boom", and the devil just died and didn't know what was going on.

Some of the fighters are even more tricky...... Some of these tunnels are built in steep positions, because of the angle, it is difficult to throw explosives into the tunnel from above, and if you want to throw them from below or from the side, it will undoubtedly increase the danger.

So they came up with a way to tie the explosives bag to the bamboo pole with leggings, and pulled the fuse and threw it down...... The explosive bag was hanging in front of the mouth of the tunnel, "sizzling" and emitting green smoke, and the devil was stunned to see that it was about to explode but there was nothing he could do.

Half a day later, the surface positions of Oriba Mountain and the 382 Heights were controlled by the expeditionary force.

The difference between the two is that most of the Japanese troops on the 382 Heights fled to the Wonsan Mountains in the rear, that is, the area around the 362 Heights. Most of the Japanese troops in Oriba Mountain were sealed in the tunnels, including the Japanese commander Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi.

Zhang Chi didn't know this, if he knew that the supreme commander of the Japanese army on Iwo Jima was trapped in the tunnels of Oriba Mountain, then he would have blocked Oriba Mountain to death no matter what.

However, at this time, the Chinese army, including Zhang Chi, focused on searching for the remnants of the enemy and arranging defenses...... The arrangement of defense here is more appropriate to use "fire blockade", which is actually to use a flag to plant on the mouth of the collapsed tunnel, and then arrange a few people to monitor it with machine guns, rifles and other fire, so as to prevent the Japanese from digging out of these tunnel mouths.

But what the soldiers didn't expect was that the Japanese army would also think that the outside of these tunnels would definitely be blocked, so they would choose to dig out from other parts.

This is actually difficult to control, or even uncontrollable, because any point of the entire Oriba Mountain may be a new exit dug by the Japanese army.

Therefore, the Chinese army had to build a strong position before it got dark, so as to prevent the Japanese from digging tunnels at night and attacking around like rats or engaging in infiltration warfare.

This is something that fellow villagers have done very well.

Pull a thick layer of barbed wire in front of the line of defense, and then lay mines everywhere...... Of course, these mines are required to memorize the location, otherwise they will become their own trouble at dawn the next day.

In the evening, the Japanese army really didn't know where to open an opening, and the result was a burst of indiscriminate bombing, and the soldiers did not attack, anyway, they just stayed in the position and greeted them with guns and cannons in the direction where there was movement, and it didn't matter how many enemies were killed, as long as their own people were not chaotic, the Japanese army could not recapture the hilltop position.

As for the new openings...... It's not too late to settle accounts when it's dawn.

It's just that I didn't expect that this action of the Japanese army was not to recapture the hilltop position, but to cover Kuribayashi Tadamichi's escape.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" As soon as Kuribayashi Tadamichi returned to the 362 Heights, his butt was still hot, and Motota Nakachi called Kuribayashi Tadamichi on another high ground: "I hope you can allow me to lead my troops to attack Mt. Oriba!" ”

Kuribayashi just "hummed" and hung up the phone.

He really didn't know what this Motota Nakatsu thought, and how with the terrain of Ori Bowl Mountain and the firepower of the Chinese, it would be as easy to take as Motota Nakatsu imagined.

But Kuribayashi Tadamichi didn't know what to say, because this Origashi Mountain was also thrown away in his own hands.

Motota Nakatsu is actually not as complicated as Kuribayashi Tadamichi thinks, what strategy, tactics and the like, Motota Nakachi didn't think about anything, all he thought about was his own defeat...... First they were routed by Chinese troops on the beach, and then they were repulsed by the enemy with only one battalion on Heights 386.

This made Motota Nakachi feel that he had no face to face his subordinates again, so he made a decision to "heroically" charge the enemy to wash away his shame.

Of course, he wanted to get Kuribayashi's consent, but not surprisingly, Kuribayashi Tadamichi once again refused his request.

But it didn't matter, he had already decided to do it.

So Motota Nakatsu turned around and said to his subordinates: "Everyone, it is the Chinese who are standing on Origayama now, this is a great shame for us, we should take it back and plant the sun flag in the name of the emperor and the people of the Great Japanese Empire!" ”

Motota's absurd battle plan is somewhat implausible: he believed that the Chinese army must have been very weak in guarding the airfield, and that his troops could pass through the airfield and then attack Mt. Oriba and plant the Japanese flag.

A subordinate asked Motoda Nakatsu: "What should I do after planting the flag?" We should not be able to defend it anymore! ”

"What does it matter if you can't keep it?" Motota Nakatsu replied, "We ...... We have used our death to achieve the purpose of boosting the morale of other troops! ”
