Chapter 974: The End of the 63rd Division of the Straight Attack on Yu Mountain (Ask for Subscription!) )

Straight to the main peak of Yu Mountain

Looking at the strong combat effectiveness shown by the squadron on the battlefield, he saw a group of subordinates with frightened looks on their faces behind him. While Lieutenant General Ikeda was shocked, the anger in his heart also rushed straight to his heart. Facing the subordinates in front of him, he roared loudly.

"Baga, what are you still doing, although the squadron has broken through the defense line. But this is only a breakthrough, and our main forces are still there. All troops were ordered to attack at once, and the gap must be plugged. Order the engineer wing, the baggage wing, and the division guard squadron to attack immediately, and be sure to break through to the rear of the position and annihilate the squadron. Go and deliver the order right away...."

"Hayi...." Dozens of officers quickly took the order and left.

For a time, the entire division and regiment headquarters became chaotic in the blink of an eye because of sudden changes and orders. At the same time, more than 10,000 little devils who had been ordered on the entire battlefield were also desperately launching round after round of attacks on the squadron that had broken through the defense line, trying to slow down the pace of the troops' attack.

Lieutenant General Ikeda's order was very reasonable for the Japanese army at this moment. However, what he did not know was that the task of Li Shengda's regiment was not to destroy his main division, but to quickly break through his defense line through continuous attacks and go straight to the Kwantung Army's high command headquarters, the main peak of Yushan.

"Regiment commander, the breakthrough has been made, the second battalion has broken through the Japanese position...." At the same time as receiving the telegram from the 2nd Battalion, the excited voice of the correspondent sounded on the battlefield full of artillery fire...

However, the head of the regiment, Li Shengda, has not had time to rejoice because of this good news. Another communicator, panting, rushed over. However, judging from his face, it must not be good news.

"The regiment commander, the commander of the 1st Battalion Yang, reported that the Japanese troops around him were like crazy and launched a sworn attack on our covering troops. In addition, a kilometer in front of the position, a large number of Japanese logistics troops were rushing towards the battlefield, aiming directly at the first battalion that broke through the Japanese defense line..."

"The little devil of the dog day reacts quite quickly. However, no matter how fast we react, we can't attack faster. Isn't it just a few thousand logistics baggage, it's not a big deal. Ordered, the second battalion left a company and held the gap. The remaining two companies continued to attack and defeat the Japanese logistics units that had come to the battlefield for reinforcements. ”

"Baggage company, immediately send all the mines carried by the army to the first battalion. Commander Yang of the 1st Battalion was ordered to immediately lead the troops out of contact with the Japanese army, use mines to slow down the Japanese attack, and move closer to the main force of the regiment. ”

"Order the 3rd Battalion, the regimental headquarters guard company, the artillery battalion, and all other units to follow closely behind the 2nd Battalion, highlight the Japanese position, and launch an attack on the main peak of Yushan..."

After a series of orders, the entire Lee Shengda regiment began to move rapidly.

Thousands of Japanese logistics troops looked like they were surging from afar, as if a single charge could overwhelm the remaining 500 people of the second battalion. However, when the second battalion was overwhelmed with bullets, grenades, shells fell on them. Logistics soldiers who have not really been trained by infantry immediately reveal their most primitive nature.....

Seeing the pieces of comrades-in-arms, I was still talking and laughing with myself just now. In the blink of an eye, he collapsed in a pool of blood and turned into a corpse under the harvest of a rain of bullets. What's more, they were directly blown up by dense shrapnel and made their flesh blurred, or their limbs were incomplete....

Smelling the increasingly thick smell of blood and gunpowder smoke in the air, the Japanese logistics troops who were suddenly hit were stunned. The speed of the charge slowed down as they hesitated. However, the reaction of the Japanese army not only did not win the sympathy of the soldiers of the second battalion, but even more stimulated their hearts to kill the enemy**. ..., as a result, more bullets and shells rushed to the Japanese attack queue with a stunned face... ̈

There was no artillery cover, not even light and heavy machine guns, and there were not a few logistics troops. Even though it is several times larger than the second battalion in terms of strength.

However, in terms of firepower, there is simply no comparison. The soldiers caused at least a thousand casualties ....

Seeing the corpses of nearly a thousand comrades-in-arms in front of him, he saw the squadron more than a hundred meters away, and he couldn't get close to the squadron at all. The little devil, who had been completely frightened, no longer had the courage to continue to charge. Under the leadership of their respective commanders, like frightened rabbits, they quickly withdrew from the range of fire of the second battalion....

The first battalion, two consecutive attacks, was already broken, and the total strength was only two infantry companies. At this moment, as the iron-blooded rearguard covering the forward attack of the whole regiment, it is obvious that it has once again become the target of the main force of the Japanese army. For a time, the entire fragile defense line of the first battalion, in the face of the ubiquitous attack of thousands of Japanese elites, even with the reliance on advanced weapons, slowly became crumbling...

"Battalion commander, the company commander of the Baggage King is here...." Yang Xindong, the commander of the first battalion with a face full of gunpowder, led the guard platoon directly under the battalion headquarters to shuttle back and forth between positions, constantly filling in the positions, when the holes in the defense line were caused by the Japanese attack. The reminder of the personal guards around him reached his ears.

Seeing the battalion commander Yang Xindong with red eyes because of the increasingly fierce battle in front of him. Wang Guangyu did not hesitate, and directly stated the purpose of his trip...

"Battalion Commander Yang, on the orders of the regiment commander, I have brought you all the mines in the whole regiment. In addition, the regiment commander demanded that the first battalion immediately disengage from contact with the Japanese army and use mines to slow down the Japanese attack. Then, together with the main force, launch an attack on the main peak of Yushan...

"Great... ̈ We've got a rescue. Communicator, immediately notify the three company commanders to come and take over the mines, prepare for a retreat, hurry up..."

On the Japanese position directly opposite the first battalion, the supreme commander of the Japanese army, Wing Commander Chengtian Dazuo, was furious at the officers of the squadron level and above in front of him. Seeing that he was almost the strength of an infantry wing, it took a full ten minutes, and he was still unable to break through the fragile defense line of a battalion of the squadron. As the captain of the wing, Chengtian Dazuo can only vent his growing anger on the subordinates in front of him.

And at this moment, a squadron leader who was sticking to the front line rushed over out of breath. Ignoring the face of the co-captain Tie Qing in front of him, he spoke directly, and let a few subordinates who were suffering from anger can't help but breathe a sigh of relief....

"Wing Commander, the squadron in front of me seems to be retreating..."

"Nani? carry out the retreat...."

Sure enough, just when Chengtian Dazuo raised his binoculars to observe the enemy's situation. A battalion that had quietly buried mines on its positions was withdrawing from its positions in an orderly manner under the command of its respective commanders. The division commander ordered that our wing, no matter what, should stick to this China. Therefore, we must not let the Chinese just withdraw from the battlefield. What are you doing in a daze, and you order the troops to attack immediately, and you must drag this squadron..." The Wing Captain almost roared in order.

Wing Commander Chengtian Dazuo vented the anger in his heart on these squadron leaders and captains. These squadron leaders, captains, who returned to their own wrongness, had no surprise, and directly transferred the anger in their hearts to ordinary soldiers again.

So, thousands of little devils, in the face of the monstrous anger of the commander, faced the battalion that was rapidly retreating. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised the bright bayonet in his hand, howled, and launched a group charge towards the retreating battalion like a beastly wolf.... …,

The momentum of thousands of little devils charging into the sky, and those who don't understand still think that this group of little devils has won the battle and is pursuing the enemy with victory. However, the next scene not only made the charging little devil feel frightened, but even the wing captain Chengtian Dazuo, who was commanding in the rear, couldn't help but be so angry that he vomited blood...

"Kill to give...... Boom, boom..."

The dense devil soldiers had just stepped on the position of a battalion, and the sound of explosions one after another sounded on the battlefield. Huge fireballs also soared from among the dense troops

"Baga, it's a mine, the Chinese are very cunning, they actually planted mines on the position, I must kill them..." Seeing hundreds of imperial warriors, in the blink of an eye, they became stumps and broken arms. Even if the captain of the wing, Chengtian Dazuo, was so strong in his heart, his hands holding the telescope tightly couldn't help but start to tremble and scolded loudly.

As soon as his words fell, a lieutenant officer rushed over with a face full of gunsmoke. Then, with a painful face, he reported to Chengtian Dazuo in front of him.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the squadron has laid a large number of mines on its positions. So far, these mines have caused at least 500 casualties to our troops. The captain of the group asked for reinforcements from the sappers to clear the mines that stood in our way...."

"Demining, by the time the mines are cleared, the squadron has long been out of contact with us.... Artilleryman, order the artillerymen to open fire immediately, and clear a passage for me with the shells..." At this moment, their own troops, there are no artillery units that can handle it at all... ̈

As a result, a wing of elite Japanese troops, in the face of mine resistance, could only watch the remnants of a battalion slowly disappear in front of them... ̈

"Report to the regimental commander, the second battalion reported that the troops have successfully routed the Japanese logistics reinforcements. The 1st Battalion also broke away from contact with the Japanese army, and was able to quickly move closer to the main force of the regiment..."

"Okay, break through the resistance of the 63rd Division of the Japanese Army, and the main peak of Yushan will be completely placed in front of us.... Order, the second battalion, continue to attack, the target is the main peak of Yushan, the highest command of the Kwantung Army, the main force of the regiment, immediately follow closely behind, and launch an attack on the main peak of Yushan.... In addition, the aerial reconnaissance plane was notified to reconnoiter the specific movement of the Japanese troops around our army, and if there was a problem, it was necessary to maintain radio contact at any time. The head of the regiment, Li Shengda, ordered with a confident face.

"Yes, Commander... ̈"

When he returned to the headquarters of the 63rd Division of the Japanese Army, he saw that his plan was once again crushed in front of the strength of only one regiment of the squadron. Lieutenant General Ikeda, as the commander of the division, under the blow of a series of failures, was as if he had aged several years in an instant, and his face was sluggish, and he looked at the changes on the battlefield in disbelief....

Of course, the latest strategic deployment and specific actions of the Lee Seung-da delegation were also clearly displayed in front of Lieutenant General Ikeda.

Looking at the artillery on the position, there were less than 2,000 people left in Li Shengda's regiment, just like a war machine, without the slightest detachment from the water, and quickly broke away from contact with his own troops with lightning speed. Then, directly like a sword out of the sheath, until the main peak of Yushan Mountain behind him. Satoru's look also appeared on his face. Until this moment, this battle-hardened veteran knew that the real target of the squadron on the position was not his 63rd Division, but the Supreme Command of the Kwantung Army behind him.

However, it seems that it is too late to really wake up at this moment.

Because he knew that in the face of the blockage of a camp of minefields, the soldiers of the Yellow Army who had lost their artillery fire, no matter how elite they were, could not withstand the huge consumption of filling the minefields with their lives. I could only watch the squadron **, stepping on the corpses of their own soldiers on the position, and advancing towards the main peak of Yushan.... …,

"Bage Yalu, cunning Chinese... ̈ Yu Mountain Main Peak, it turns out that your target is Yu Mountain Main Peak...."

"Chief of Staff, send a telegram to Your Excellency the Commander immediately, an urgent telegram. The squadron of a regiment has broken through the defense line of our army and is attacking the headquarters, please be ready to defend against the enemy... Lieutenant General Ikeda ordered with a sad face.

"Division Commander, what about us, what about our troops?" The chief of staff asked in a low voice.

"We..." Facing the question of the chief of staff, he saw a group of demoralized subordinates behind him. Lieutenant General Ikeda's face was instantly shrouded in vicissitudes. He said helplessly.

"If you don't stop this squadron, the mission of my 63rd Division will mean failure.

And our opponent's ** team will definitely not let go of our elite division of the empire, which has been beaten to pieces. Therefore, there is only one thing we need to do next, that is, to do our best to give the squadron greater damage. Use the heavy losses of the squadron to restore the honor belonging to my 63rd Division...."

"Order all troops on the front, including all staff officers in the command, to prepare for the final decisive battle with the squadron...."

"Ha Yi ......"

Lieutenant General Ikeda was not wrong, as the commander-in-chief of the campaign, Liu Hua never intended to let go of the 63rd Division of the Kwantung Army, a veteran division in China that had left countless blood debts in the three eastern provinces.

As soon as his order was issued, the overwhelming shells and bombers, under Liu Hua's personal order, once again came to the top of the remnants of the 63rd Division...
