Chapter 112: Gunsmoke

8.112 Gunsmoke

"Where's your fighter! Why was the air cordon not released! ”

Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi suddenly discovered that the 45th Sentai had made an extremely serious mistake, how could there be no fighter formation responsible for air vigilance at the huge Anqing Airport? As long as these fighters can be delayed for a few minutes, how could the bombers flying the 45th Sentai fall to such a point?

"Report to the general, our fighters lost 17 when they were ambushed by the Chinese Air Force for the first time, and later Yoshida Dingnan Daisa ordered all the remaining 23 fighters to attack and bomb the Chinese bombers of the Third Fleet, and when Anqing was attacked, we didn't even have a single fighter left!"

"Did the sortie fighter succeed?"

This is already the last hope left for Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, if the 45th Sentai Flying Heavy Attack on the Chinese bomber group, then this battle is not a complete defeat, as long as you make a little fuss about the numbers, it is still possible to pass.

"The Navy said that our fleet was ambushed by the Chinese Air Force in the vicinity of Dongliu, and the current battle situation is unknown......"

The battle is unknown? I'm afraid it's a fiasco! Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi weakly threw away the microphone, and this time, his aviation regiment lost completely!

In this round of air battles on August 24, the Japanese lost 32 fighters and 39 bombers, all of which were destroyed on the ground. The Chinese Air Force and the Soviet Air Force lost 10 fighters and 1 bomber.

**************************************************************************

The Botian detachment couldn't break through the defense line of the Madao Fortress from the front, so they started the idea of several commanding heights on the periphery of the Madao Fortress, once Yejiashan was controlled by the Botian Detachment, the devil's mountain artillery could be erected on the mountain to directly bombard the fortress, such a result was something Zhang Guangfu absolutely did not want to see!

At 14 o'clock in the afternoon, Japanese artillery shells whistled and smashed into the Chinese artillery group in the depression behind Changshan. The Japanese offensive on the position of Changshan began. The commander of the fortress, Bao Changyi, did not show weakness, and quickly judged that the Japanese were using naval artillery, so he commanded the fortress artillery to start a counterattack, and the two sides launched an artillery battle.

Immediately afterwards, infantry from both sides also exchanged fire. In front of the Changshan position is a piece of Taibai Lake water swing, here was originally a 600-meter-square rice field, after the Yangtze River water rose, overflowed the embankment and poured into the rice field, forming this waist-deep lake swing, the Japanese army's assault direction was chosen here. However, when the Japanese got out of the water, half of their bodies were submerged in the water, and it was difficult for the light and heavy machine guns to be used for a while, and the firepower was greatly weakened, thus forming an extremely favorable situation for the defenders. The lake became a cemetery for the Japanese, and the Japanese commandos rushed forward in waves, and the waves were thrown down in the water, and those who were alive wanted to run back, but they also became conspicuous live targets.

On the battlefield, a veteran squad leader who looked to be nearly 40 years old and had a scruffy beard said to a chubby, baby-faced sixteen or seventeen-year-old soldier next to him: "Little cow, you haven't opened the ring today, have you?" Give you a chance, the live guy in front of you is in hand. ”

With that, he lit a cigarette and watched leisurely as the little soldier took up his gun in earnest. With a crisp gunshot, a splash rose next to the Japanese soldier. The Japanese soldier probably knew his danger and slammed forward. Another shot rang out, and the Japanese soldier stood in the water for two or three seconds, as if he had been nailed, and then fell down with a thud. The lake returned to calm, with only a circle of ripples dispersing in all directions. The veteran seemed to have completed a masterpiece, looked at the overjoyed little cow beside him, and said proudly: "You can't go wrong with your uncle, I promise to become an official in the future." ”

At this time, the brothers on the side coaxed: "That's right, Niu Wazi, follow your uncle, you won't need to be 40 years old to become a class leader." ”

The Japanese attacked twice, suffered two setbacks, and threw nearly two squads of soldiers into the lake, which made the Japanese quickly change their tactics. At about 16 o'clock in the afternoon, after a brief period of silence, the Changshan position was once again enveloped by the sound of boiling artillery.

With tons of bombs, 19 warships of the Japanese Navy blasted a channel on the river, broke through the minelaying area, and swam in an "S" shape on the southeast river of the Yangtze River position. The Japanese ground artillery firepower has also been strengthened a lot, and the entire position is full of flames, scorched earth, and two artillery pieces in the bunker were immediately blown over. Bao Changyi and his second corps struggled in the great net cast by death.

In the evening, the Japanese naval guns suddenly stopped shelling, and the muzzles of the guns turned to the sky. Before Bao Changyi could wake up, with a buzzing sound, nine Chinese Air Force bombers appeared in the sky, and these air protectors sank two Japanese gunboats, but they failed to affect the overall situation. Let the ship adjust slightly, and continue to bombard the Changshan position.

At the same time, in the depths of the reed-filled lake, the Japanese commandos were still stubbornly attacking, falling down, and not long after, a burst of artillery bombardment came up again. Blood, mud and sand stained the lake brown. The Japanese were red-eyed and tried to conquer the lake in front of them with bushido, and as a result, they buried a group of well-trained soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Wing of Taiwan in the lake.

*************************************************************************

There is no obvious mountain pass in Yejia Mountain, it is a few steamed buns like mountains packed together, the main peak is slightly taller, with the main peak as the main position, the large and small mountain beams within a radius of two or three miles have been operated by the sappers of the fortress, and a circle of solid trenches has been dug down.

After being ravaged by the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese air force fell into complete madness, and Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi transferred batch after batch of fighters to the battlefield of Mato, and the crazy devil pilots could even make the planes fly close to the ground, forming a line of furrows and firing every trench with machine guns, spreading death with precision.

In the bunker where the regimental headquarters of the 814th Regiment of the 53rd Division was located on the main peak, the regiment commander Yang Zuomin saw that his subordinates were like pieces of meat on the chopping board, and finally became angry, and he ordered all the weapons to fire at the sky and hit the Japanese planes on the dog day!

Coincidentally, a herald felt that he was still angry after running out of bullets in his pistol, so he took out his flare gun and fired three shots into the sky, but one of them just drilled through a bullet hole in the cockpit glass cover of a Japanese plane.

The Japanese aircraft group in the sky quickly pulled up and stopped the attack because they could not figure out what anti-aircraft weapons they had encountered.

Signal flares hit planes, and the Hunan soldiers of the 53rd Division created a miracle of war!

But the outcome of the war is not determined by chance or fluke. On the same day, the aircraft discovered that there were no anti-aircraft weapons in the position, and immediately launched another wanton and indiscriminate bombardment! Then the Japanese troops of the Hatian detachment rushed up like a tide and broke into the defense line of the 53rd Division. Hand-to-hand combat has begun!

When the soldiers on both sides fought together, the Japanese plane had to rise into the air, and the devil's artillery was useless, and on this slope with a radius of several hundred meters, grenades, gunshots, and assassination roars came and went. The momentum of the close combat in which two or three thousand people took part was astonishing, and the Hunan officers and men of the 53rd Division and the Taiwanese soldiers of the Potian detachment fought together in piles, and from time to time someone pulled grenades and blew them up.

After two days and two nights of bloody fighting between the main peak and the devils, the 53rd Division suffered more than 90 officers below the battalion level and more than 1,500 soldiers, and was forced to move to the rear defense line.

"What about you, Master Zhou? Where is he? On the morning of August 25, Zhang Guangfu learned that Yejiashan, the commanding heights in the southeast of Madao, was lost, and his mood was naturally not much better, he yelled at the microphone: "You tell him to answer the phone!" ”

"Deputy Commander Zhang, Division Zhou is in command on the front line," Colonel Zhao Mingli, chief of staff of the 53rd Division, said with some embarrassment: "This is not the responsibility of Division Commander Zhou, our 53rd Division fought very bravely!" Please rest assured, Deputy Commander Zhang, I have ordered the main force to launch a counteroffensive against Yejiashan! ”

"Good! Those who are ineffective in combat will correct the law on the spot, and Yejiashan must take it back!! Zhang Guangfu buckled the microphone angrily.

After losing the main peak of Yejia Mountain, the Japanese artillery fire faced by the fortress increased significantly, and Zhang Guangfu decided to send his independent 47th Brigade to recapture the main peak of Yejia Mountain after careful consideration.

Compared with the 16th Army, the equipment of the 47th Independent Brigade is obviously much more advanced, the officers and soldiers are clean of new Hanyang-made rifles, Czech and Makqin machine guns, each battalion also has a mortar squad, and the brigade headquarters guard battalion is also equipped with a batch of Soviet-style heavy machine guns.

It can shoot two shots from a high level, and can penetrate the frontal armor of Japanese light tanks with steel core bullets.

The 47th Independent Brigade attacked from the southern slope of the main peak of Yejia Mountain, and the brave soldiers rushed forward one after another, stepping on the corpses of their comrades, and rushing up in waves. The 400-meter-long and 500-meter-wide slope was covered with the corpses of the officers and men of the 47th Independent Brigade, and although it was under the banner of the 25th Army, the 47th Independent Brigade was actually an absolute new army, with recruits accounting for more than 80 percent. If it weren't for the fact that the two divisions of the 16th Army had been basically defeated by the Botian detachment and lost their ability to attack, Zhang Guangfu would never have come to attack the main peak of Yejia Mountain with these recruits under his command!

No way! It's really because the main peak of Yejia Mountain is too important to the Mata Fortress!

"Dog's day! Dog day! ......"Private Zhao Gouzi fought with a Taiwanese soldier who was about the same size as him. The Taiwanese soldier was also scolding, but he spoke Japanese, and under the colonial education of the Japanese Governor-General's Office, there were many Taiwanese who thought that he could not speak Chinese.

After more than a dozen rounds of fighting, Zhao Gouzi and the Taiwanese soldiers in front of him were panting heavily. In the previous stabbing time, the Taiwanese soldiers have always had the upper hand, and the quality of the soldiers of the Japanese Army is really not covered, but after two faces, the rifle in Zhao Gouzi's hand was picked out. After the Taiwanese soldiers gained the momentum, they used bayonets to stab Zhao Gouzi with their bare hands. Even if God has eyes, the Taiwanese soldier actually tripped over a small stump under his feet. Zhao Gouzi hurriedly pounced on him and hugged the follow-up. He wanted to catch him alive. Before the start of the war, the brigade commander once said that he would catch a live devil and give 50 oceans!

But it's really not easy to completely subdue a guy who is the same length and thickness as himself. The two scuffled for a while, and Zhao Gouzi gradually gained the upper hand. Finally, in a round of physical competition, Zhao Gouzi pressed the Taiwanese soldier under him, but he just couldn't free up his hands to tie up the turtle grandson in front of him. Everyone around him is fighting, and no one can help him with this.

Zhao Gouzi was in a hurry to smash the heads of the Taiwanese soldiers with his head, trying to smash the Taiwanese soldiers unconscious in this way. Zhao Gouzi believed that his head was stronger than that of a Taiwanese soldier. Unexpectedly, when the two of them were fighting head-butt, the Taiwanese soldier opened his bloody mouth, bit one of Zhao Gouzi's ears, and then tore it off with all his might. Seeing that his beloved ears were in the other party's mouth, Zhao Gouzi burst into tears of pain and scolded loudly: "Your dog's ......!" "He doesn't want those 50 oceans anymore!

Zhao Gouzi went crazy and choked the neck of the Taiwanese soldier, until the Taiwanese soldier's mouth was bloody, and his eyes rolled up, but he just didn't let go. Until the devil didn't move and there was no movement on the battlefield, Zhao Gouzi stood up under the watchful eyes of the brothers. The blood-stained battalion commander came over and was just about to raise his thumb to praise Zhao Gouzi for strangling a devil alive, but Zhao Gouzi cried and looked for his ears on the ground:

"Holy shit, Lao Tzu's ears! How do you explain to my mother when I go back......! ”

In this way, from the evening until midnight, when the moon rose in the east, the Japanese army could no longer withstand it, and left more than 170 severed limbs and withdrew from the mountain.

On the southern slope of the main peak of Yejia Mountain, 700 officers and soldiers of the 47th Independent Brigade fell.

After attacking the main peak of Yejia Mountain, Deputy Brigade Commander He Shaoxiong was about to report the good news to Zhang Guangfu, but he heard the sentry on the top of the mountain blowing a sharp military whistle......

"Call me! Hit hard! Now it's up to us to spread the corpses of the Japanese all over the hillside! ”

Hateful bullets flew towards the Potian detachment like a torrential rain, and in the face of the independent 47th brigade with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars, the Potian detachment finally could not attack!

After leaving more than 200 corpses on the hillside, the Japanese commander wisely retreated to the foot of the mountain to wait for reinforcements.

On the morning of the next day, the Japanese army repeated its old tricks, first bombing the main peak of Yejiashan and the positions of the Chinese troops around it with more than 20 planes. But in the ensuing ground offensive, the Hakuda detachment received nothing but the addition of almost 300 corpses on the hillside!
