Chapter 19: Purgatory
8.19 Purgatory
The 150 "Flying Thunder" of the guard regiment completed three rounds of firing within ten minutes, which means that the guard regiment threw four and a half tons of high explosives at the three lines of defense of the Hongmiao position where the 59th Wing was stationed!
The continuous violent explosions made Itanishi Ichira Osa who was lying on the ground have to jump up again, and the constantly shaking ground has made Itanishi Ichira Osa realize that it is an extremely stupid thing to continue lying on the ground!
The flying stones and brick fragments kept hitting Itanishi Ichira's body, but Bansai Ichira Osaku didn't feel pain at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he desperately reminded himself in his heart not to fall, because then he would definitely be shocked by the shock wave and destroy his internal organs, or be buried alive by the soil kicked up by the explosion!
But it is definitely not an easy task to maintain balance on the "beating" ground, and the air wave river shock wave does not know how many times it has overturned Itanishi Ichirasa, and after each fall, Itanishi Ichira Daisa will quickly struggle to get up. Then he tried to get a foothold on the ground.
At this moment, Itanishi Kazura Dazuo has completely lost his hearing, and only the murmur of "woo-goo" is left in his eardrums. This is a sign that the eardrum has been damaged by a huge air pressure!
After a few tosses, Ichira Itanishi Dazuo has become embarrassed, his military hat was thrown out directly, even the shoes on his feet have been dropped, the military uniform on his upper body is open, revealing a blood-stained shirt, only half of the trousers on his right leg are left, and the command knife on his waist is not known where it was thrown.
More than 2,000 Japanese officers and soldiers on the Hongmiao position were like a group of drunken men "dancing" wildly in the explosion, and such a scene looked extremely strange from a distance!
Their feelings at the moment are similar to those of Itanishi Ichira Daisa, as if they have dived into the bottom of the sea at a very deep depth, not only have they lost their hearing, but even their vision has begun to blur! There was chaos all around, and the heavens and the earth were filled with a strange brown red! That's the color of gunsmoke and blood! The Japanese officers and soldiers in hell could no longer tell which was the dust and which was the flames of the explosion!
Later, breathing began to become difficult, and the air seemed to be burned by the burning gunpowder. The Japanese soldiers struggled to open their mouths wide in order to get some oxygen. But with each big gasp, what they inhaled into their bodies was some choking gunsmoke. The scorching smoke from the burning explosion of explosives raged in the throats and lobes of the lungs of Japanese officers and soldiers! It's like there's going to be an explosion in your chest! As soon as you feel something up, it's a mouthful of blood! This means that your internal organs have been ruptured, and the Grim Reaper has begun to sneer at you!
In the eyes of the Japanese officers and soldiers, the Red Temple position has become purgatory!
I don't know how long it took, but the shaking earth finally stopped beating!
Itanishi Ichira Dazuo subconsciously reached out to rub his eyes, but he didn't expect to scrape down a large amount of dirt and blood! His eyes, ears, nose, and nose were bleeding! The Japanese officers who were still alive behind him were all the same, like demons crawling out of hell!
Although in the explosion just now, Itanishi Ichira Osa felt that his torso had been divided several times, but now he found that his limbs were still connected to his body, but the palms of his hands were very swollen, which should be a side effect of Itanishi Ichira Osa repeatedly propping his hands on the ground to try to keep his body balanced.
These hands can no longer hold a katana! Itanishi Kazura Daisa's dream of being a general will come to an end from this moment!
"Fast ......."
Itanishi Ikirashi wanted to make some noise, but his dry throat couldn't handle the load. Itanishi Ichira Osa wanted to turn around and go to his officers, but as soon as he took a step, he felt that his legs were weak, dizzy, and his whole body was shaking, so Itanishi Ichira Osa had to "plop" and fall to the ground, put his hands on the ground, and vomited heavily.
After spitting out all the contents of his stomach, Ichira Itanishi sat down on the ground panting heavily. Only then did he realize that the entire Red Temple had been completely blown up. The fortifications carefully built by the Japanese sappers completely collapsed, the bunkers and houses were all in pieces, and all the buildings that were above the ground were reduced to rubble!
Itanishi Kazura Osa even saw several heavy machine guns placed by the Japanese army on the position, which were swept to the ground several meters in front of the trench by the huge shock wave generated by the explosion!
The 59th Wing's wing headquarters and all the trenches were now buried in the ground, with only a few arms, guns, and a few human legs exposed.
These Japanese soldiers who rushed down with their heads must have been blown up in the explosion just now, and then fell into the trench in an upside-down position, and then they were buried in the mud!
If you don't die immediately when you land, the feeling of suffocating in the dirt will be terrifying!
It was not only the Japanese army that was shocked by this explosion, but also the two regiments of the 36th Division that Song Xilian arranged on the front line to prepare for the attack were also stunned by the scene in front of them! So much so that only a few minutes after the explosion subsided did these two regiments of the 36th Division remember their duties and launched an attack on the Red Temple!
The 36th Division easily broke through the first two lines of defense of the 59th Wing, and it was not until they advanced near the 59th Wing's wing headquarters that they encountered slight resistance.
After firing all the explosive packs, the Guards Regiment went back to their old business and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese position! In order to prevent the secret of the "Flying Thunder" from being exposed, Xu Zilong ordered the 1st Battalion to watch and stay in place to guard the "Flying Thunder", while he took the remaining 3 battalions to the Red Temple from the south.
When rushing to the truck defense line of the 59th Wing, the officers and men of the guard regiment saw a very strange scene.
Those ghost soldiers hiding in the cab still maintained the action when shooting, and there were no scars on their bodies at all, as if they were still looking ahead, and when the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment got closer, they found that these Japanese soldiers were bleeding and had been dead for a long time!
Each trench was filled with corpses, stacked on top of each other, and some of the dead devil soldiers were curled up in the dirt, some of them poked out of the rubble, and these people were also bloodless on the outside, and they were all shocked to death by the shock wave.
The entire Red Temple's dirt has been blown to a very fluffy surface, the original trenches and craters have been filled, and new craters have reappeared on the ground! The ploughed dirt was mixed with broken pieces of wood and tattered uniforms, and even some explosive packets that did not explode.
Xu Zilong picked one up casually and looked at it, and then said angrily: "Which daredevil's explosives bag is this?" I didn't even get the fuse! ”
At 1:20 a.m. on June 5, it took less than two hours for the Chinese army to conquer Hongmiao, an important stronghold on the supply line of the bandit regiment and division. In this battle, more than 1,500 Japanese soldiers were killed and more than 90 were captured, including the commander of the 59th Wing, which had become somewhat unclear.
"Flying Thunder" caused a huge shadow in the minds of these Japanese prisoners of war, and until many years later, these Japanese veterans who had experienced the "Night of the Red Temple" would still lose control of their spirits when they heard the thunder.
