Shenxianling main battlefield
After a day of fierce fighting, and after paying a heavy price of more than a hundred people, the Japanese finally broke through the Eighth Route Army's first surface line of defense;
The tunnel exit was also blown up by the Japanese's death squads, and the surface position was successfully captured.
Don't think about it in the tunnel. The first and second squads led by Gao Ming were still fine. They only suffered 3 casualties, 1 machine gunner died and 2 others were injured;
They still have several hidden exits, but they are not in a hurry to get out and let the Japs go first. There are two lines of defense behind them waiting for the Japs to take human lives. It is not a good idea to scare the Japs away at the first line of defense. These guests But it was only with great difficulty that the battalion commander invited them.
After the Japs captured the first line of defense, a detachment of Japs was left to guard the position while the others continued to attack.
When the Japs rushed to Yingzui Cliff, they were attacked head-on by the Eighth Route Army on the cliff. Dozens of people were killed and wounded in one fell swoop. The Japs were pushed back more than two hundred meters;
Yingzui Cliff is the main line of defense of Shenxian Ridge, and the terrain is also the most dangerous. The Eighth Route Army built solid fortifications with blue stones along Yingzui Cliff, with special observation posts and a large number of shooting holes on it.
Crescent-shaped fortifications with a length of about 50 meters were also built on both sides of the Eagle's Mouth Cliff, which blocked all the slopes suitable for going up the mountain. The Eagle's Mouth Cliff is blocking the main road.
These are just superficial fortifications. The trenches outside are connected to the tunnels. When the Japanese are shelling, the soldiers can hide inside the tunnels and leave an observation post at the entrance of the tunnels.
As soon as the Japanese bombardment stopped and the observation post blew its whistle, the combatants hiding in the tunnel would come out as quickly as possible to stop the Japanese.
There are even more caves in the tunnel. There are six or seven large and small holes in it. It is also divided into two levels and extends in all directions. It is similar to termite holes hidden underground. This was excavated by Chuxiong based on the creativity of the Shangganling tunnel fortifications. Thousands of people dug for several months to break through, unless the entire mountain was blown up!
Responsible for guarding the Yingzui Cliff tunnel fortifications are five platoons of the garrison company, commanded by Yang Wei. A large amount of ammunition and supplies are stored in the tunnel;
The most concealed exit is even set up on the reverse section of the mountain. There are more than a dozen large and small exits, so that a large-scale counterattack can be launched at any time.
The Japanese had no idea that there would be so many mechanisms in the Yingzui defense line. They thought they could break through the fortifications built with the dangerous terrain of Yingzui!
The Kikuchi Brigade continued to attack. They transferred two infantry artillery pieces from the Field Artillery Brigade and fired a fierce bombardment at the Eagle Mouth Cliff. The large protruding stone was chipped away by Japanese artillery fire.
After the artillery preparations were completed, Kikuchi sent a squadron to attack the Yingzui Cliff position;
Yang Wei sent three squads out of the tunnel to stop the Japanese, commanded by platoon leader Liu Hui.
"Comrades, this time bring the Japs closer to within 50 meters and then hit them hard. The Japs will be sore from one beating!"
"Follow my orders and throw grenades together!"
When Liu Hui handed over the soldiers, the Japanese Yoshino Squadron had already moved up, and the Japanese grenade group followed behind, ready to provide fire support to the infantry at any time.
There are only more than 150 people left in the Yoshino Squadron, and the entire First Battalion is responsible for the main attack mission. The casualties are heavy, and there is almost no full squadron;
Yoshino was walking in the middle of the second echelon. Captain Kikuchi had given him a death order. He must capture the Eighth Route Army's position before dark, otherwise he would apologize to His Majesty the Emperor.
Captain Kikuchi's patience was about to run out. A field brigade had been attacking a small hilltop for a day and a half, suffering more than 200 casualties, but only captured the first line of defense. This made the general very angry.
Yoshino estimated that his squadron's skirmisher line was still about eighty or ninety meters away from the Eagle's Mouth Cliff, and the Eighth Route Army had no movement. He used gestures to signal the heavy firepower to stop and provide fire support for the infantry at any time;
The infantry continued to attack forward. When the troops entered sixty meters, Yoshino stopped. He wanted to use machine guns to suppress the eight-way firepower point...
After a few more seconds, the Japanese's Ren Danhu was clearly visible, and Liu Hui finally gave the order to drop the bomb.
"Bagayalu, grenade!"
Yoshino was the first to notice the group of grenades flying in the sky, and his face turned pale with fear!
He reflexively threw himself on the ground, and then left it to Amaterasu...
"Boom boom boom!"
A series of explosions sounded, and a large number of Japanese were killed or injured, at least twenty or thirty.
Before the Japs could even raise their heads, the Eighth Route Army's machine guns and rifles rang out again, and a rain of bullets hit the Japs, wiping them out one by one;
Soon, the hillside was covered with Japanese corpses, but the Yoshino Squadron did not retreat. They were still holding on with difficulty.
"Boom boom boom!"
Several grenades flew towards the Eighth Route Army's position, and most of them hit the rocks on the Eagle Beak Cliff, splashing a lot of gravel. Fortunately, one grenade fell into the trench, and two soldiers fell in a pool of blood...
Two people came over immediately and carried the wounded man into the tunnel.
"Instructor, two comrades are injured!"
Yang Wei immediately called the doctor for rescue. The medical conditions in the tunnel were good. There was a special operating room and medicines were well prepared. Grenade fragments could kill people. As long as the rescue was timely, many injured people could be rescued.
"Doctor He, how are you doing?"
Seeing Dr. He examining the wounds of the wounded, Yang Wei asked with concern.
Doctor He said without raising his head:
"Heavy bleeding, arrange surgery immediately, call a few more soldiers over, do blood tests and blood transfusions later."
As soon as Yang Wei heard this, he immediately called a class over and lined up to wait for the blood test;
After a while, a nurse came over. First, she said that the wounded person had type A blood and needed type A or type O blood.
Yang Wei's blood happens to be type O. He had it checked when he was in school and immediately told the nurse:
"My blood is type O. It has been tested. Time is tight, so take my blood first!"
The nurse immediately drew 400cc of blood for Yang Wei. Yang Wei indicated that he could draw 200cc. The nurse hesitated. Generally speaking, a normal person would be able to draw 400cc. Any more would affect the health of the blood donor.
Yang Wei glared at nurse Xiao Zhang and said:
"What are you complaining about? Come on, it's important to save people. I can handle it!"
Xiao Zhang could only continue to draw 200, and was sent to the operating room first, and then blood was drawn and tested for other people;
Two hours later, Dr. He came out of the operating room. Yang Wei looked at him with concern, as did the other soldiers. Three soldiers gave precious blood to their comrades.
"Don't worry, we are out of danger. The wounded comrades need nutrition during this time..."
Dr. He said with a tired look on his face. He had been operating continuously for several hours and rescued three soldiers.
"Thank you, doctor!"
Knowing that the wounded person was out of danger, Yang Wei excitedly protected Dr. He's hand, and then went to hold nurse Xiao Zhang's hand, which made Xiao Zhang blush. Only then did Yang Wei remember that he was a little too excited.
How can you let the little girl touch her hands randomly?
