The night attack was even successful, and the heart was bloody. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Guan led the troops to pay attention to the cohesion of the troops, and if the fighting spirit was uneven, it would be scattered, and only unity was strength.
However, for the Kuomintang army, unity is to huddle together, factional strife, fight for each other, and the fighting spirit cannot be gathered together.
And the Kuomintang army stranded on the pass includes all factions, and the phenomenon of grouping is extremely serious.
Therefore, Yang Guan used the materials and ammunition seized by the night attack to inspire the fighting spirit, gas the enthusiasm of the anti-Japanese war, strengthen his courage, and strengthen the determination of the anti-Japanese war.
For soldiers, food and ammunition are fundamental and indispensable, after all, food and ammunition are the source of courage and strength.
However, it is not enough to have enough food and ammunition, the fighting spirit and fighting spirit are the foundation of victory.
War is a meat grinder, fighting for the banner of victory, and the flag needs to be planted by the warrior on the enemy's position, standing firm for victory.
On the contrary, in front of the meat grinder, the soldier is a sacrifice, nothing more than a grain of sand on the grinding disc of the meat grinder.
However, sand has flesh and blood, as well as soul and thought, and no one wants to be a victim and become a fertile earth of minced meat.
Soldiers have no choice in the face of a brutal war, and they will be torn to pieces by artillery fire at any time, and the struggle in their hearts can be imagined.
For a long time, the Kuomintang army has taken holding the defensive line as its first priority, and has not taken the initiative to attack much, so it has no choice but to choose when its weapons and equipment are at an inferior's edge.
There are many reasons for this, such as high-level instructions, officer commands, and soldiers' uneven fighting spirits, all of which are factors that cause passive defense.
Yang Guan is an outlier, uneasy and unreasonable, taking the lives of soldiers as the priority, and condensing the spirit of war as the outline, winning the respect of the soldiers.
There is no reason why there are no immortals in war, but doing our best to reduce casualties is not something that every commander can achieve to the point of perfection.
At this moment, the people's hearts are in order, the sand is flying on the position, and they are all preparing for the war with all their might, and they are fully rolled out in accordance with Yang Guan's plan.
On the other hand, the more than 30 military vehicles that were captured had become fragments, screws, and parts at this time, which made some automotive technicians feel heartache.
Loser, I don't know how many people scolded Yang Guan for being a loser, and they didn't care about these sharp weapons for transporting troops and goods at all.
Some people think that Yang Guan wants to fight to the death with the little devil in the pass.
Otherwise, why did he dismantle all the sharp weapons of his retreat, and not a single one remained, and all of them were turned into shields against artillery fire and bullets?
Time has no trace, and in an instant, it has entered 3:10 p.m., and the battlefield has been filled with slaughter.
At this time, Observer No. 18 reported loudly: "Instructor, the little devil is coming, and the estimated strength is three brigades and more than 30,000 people."
"The little devil has two artillery positions five thousand meters away, which are being arranged, and five mortar positions, all two kilometers away, and the number of artillery fire is unknown."
The words are amazing, everyone is tongue-in-cheek, is the little devil crazy?
With more than 30,000 troops, coupled with heavy artillery deterrence, mortars are eyeing each other, and their combat effectiveness is countless times higher than that of their own side.
Decisive battle, real decisive battle, the little devil wants to fight with the devil, duel between male and female, and never die?
The little devil camped 500 meters away, and the figures were numerous, forming a deterrent force invisibly, almost freezing the air.
All the soldiers of the Kuomintang Army were frightened, and the fighting spirit that had been inspired by them was gradually declining, and it was unimaginable that it would continue to be unthinkable.
Yang Guan looked around the audience, frowned slightly, and invisibly burst into anger, the little devil is demonstrating, then extinguish the arrogance of the devil.
With a plan in mind, he walked to the side of a heavy machine gun, hooked the lower part of the gun body with the tip of his right foot and exerted force upward, and caught the flying gun body with both hands with a "snap".
Only then did everyone come back to their senses, looking at him in amazement, looking at him suspiciously and expectantly.
I saw Yang Guan straighten the heavy machine gun, aimed at the devil's camp and pulled the trigger, the gun spewed out, and the sound of "da-da" exploded continuously.
The bullet crossed a distance of more than 500 meters in an instant, hitting the 18 flags in turn, and the sun flag broke and fell to the ground with a "click".
This move shocked everyone on both sides, the little devil lay on the ground in terror, and was very frightened, while the Kuomintang army cheered thunderously and shouted and cheered.
The blockbuster made the battlefield angry and reversed, the arrogance of the little devils was stifled, and the morale of the Kuomintang army was high, returning to enthusiasm, shouting and demonstrating.
The battle for morale kicked off, and both sides attached great importance to it.
Low morale affected combat effectiveness, and the devil officers could not tolerate it, and they came out of the tents one after another, howling and shouting at the devil snipers to fight back.
At this time, No. 18 reported the location of the devil officer in time, and Yang Guan quickly adjusted the firing position and killed the devil officer in turn.
At the same time, the snipers of the advance team opened fire en masse, and called the little devil officer, machine gunner, flag soldier, and flag bearer in turn.
The sniper battle is in full swing, and they are five hundred meters away from each other.
However, the little devil did not have an advantage, and there were countless casualties, and they were killed by the advance team members one after another, so that the devil sniper could not raise his head.
In the first battle of Shuangshansha, many sniper rifles were captured, and the advance team members were shot to death with the assistance of sights, forcing everyone to be terrified.
The sniper battle continued, and the continuous confrontation lasted for more than an hour, and the little devil suffered heavy casualties, and slowly retreated in desperation.
After more than an hour of fighting, the little devil did not launch an artillery bombardment, which is a very strange phenomenon.
It is understandable that the artillery positions of the devils did not fully form combat effectiveness, after all, the time was too rushed and it took time to set up positions.
But why didn't the mortars of the little devils launch shelling?
Everyone doesn't understand that the little devil who will repay him has changed his sex, who believes it?
Monk Wei couldn't help it at first, frowned and asked, "Instructor, the little devils were sniped by us at least three hundred people, why don't these miscellaneous people fight back with artillery fire?"
Yang Guan glanced at everyone and analyzed: "The little devil is in a hurry, he came from afar, and the logistics materials can't keep up, mainly because the devil is planning a decisive battle, intending to concentrate artillery fire to destroy the position."
Du Juan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "We will be caught off guard by beating the little devil again tonight, and completely destroy the morale of the little devil, and the victory in the coming day will be even greater."
Pan Yunfeng "giggled" and retorted: "You are too naïve to think, I estimate that the little devil will definitely stay on guard all night, and we will definitely have no chance to raid."
Li Tao was worried, and directly diverted the topic and said: "Instructor, there are only more than 4,000 people on our front, and judging from the posture and strength of the little devils, it is difficult for us to resist."
Yan Liang frowned and agreed: "I'm also worried, there are too many little devils, the hillside is gentle, and the height is only a few tens of meters, this battle is enough to choke!"
Yang Guan ignored everyone's questions, and suddenly put down the binoculars and ordered: "All retreat, the little devil wants to test the cannonball, quickly!"
At the sound of an order, the flag soldier quickly waved a small flag to convey the order.
The soldiers of the Kuomintang army, under the command of the advance team, withdrew from the first front and retreated fifty meters away.
At this time, the cluster shells of the little devils exploded in succession on the front, setting off a wave of sand.
The decisive battle is coming, and life and death are uncertain.
