On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the main battlefield of Shenxianling
Ushijima had received the telegram from Anping City, which made him who was in a good mood couldn't help but get angry!
"Bagaya Road, Nakata Kenyo, that bastard, a waste! One brigade can't even defend a transit station, allowing a small group of troops on the Eighth Route to take advantage of the loophole!"
"I will accuse the Commander of his negligence and send this bastard to a military court!"
"Bagaya road, trash!"
…
No wonder Ushijima was so angry. In order to prepare for this raid, the headquarters demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall. With great difficulty, they managed to raise enough supplies for a brigade to fight for a month and a half. Now it's fine, but it was bombed by the Eighth Route Army!
Now the entire brigade only has a batch of supplies on the way. There are only a few trucks of supplies, which are only enough for a few days. Ushijima has no room for maneuver in this battle.
"Kitahara-kun, launch an attack! Let us end it with Chu Xiong!"
Ushijima no longer has time to spend with Chuxiong, and must take the Immortal Ridge as soon as possible.
According to outside intelligence, the two main regiments of the Eighth Route Army have rushed to Liuzhen for reinforcements. The imperial army is blocking the attack. Unfortunately, there are not enough troops. In two days at most, they will arrive at Liuzhen and encircle the Niu Dao Brigade.
There is only one day left for them!
"Boom boom boom..."
The field artillery brigade used up all the shells and bombed Chu Xiong's old camp into a mess. Unfortunately, it had little effect. The main force of the Eighth Route Army was in the caves. Chu Xiong didn't feel bad if the surface buildings were blown up. At worst, he would have to rebuild again!
The Japanese infantry began to launch an attack, which was a brigade-sized attack. This was a standard way of fighting to survive. Chu Xiong commanded the garrison company and calmly responded to the battle, using solid tunnel fortifications to continuously consume the Japanese troops and weapons.
The third line of defense in Shenxianling is not as simple as what Ushijima saw. This is the last line of defense in Chuxiong Old Camp. How can it be simple!
The entire top of Shenxianling Mountain was almost hollowed out by the Independent Battalion. More than 2,000 people from the garrison company dug for seven or eight months. There is an underground palace within tens of meters below the main peak, and 24 gates have been buried on the reverse slope of the main peak. Wei Yixiao said, "The flying thunder cannon and the firing angle have been adjusted, and we are just waiting for the Japanese's general attack."
The Japanese's first round of attack lasted for more than two hours, and they withdrew after leaving more than 100 corpses. This was also Ushijima's attempt to figure out the troop and firepower configuration of Chuxiong's last line of defense.
What surprised Ushijima was that the firepower of Chuxiong's troops was still very fierce. One brigade alone could not break their position. This Shenxianling was really like a copper pea - it could not be broken by a hammer or broken!
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I have received the latest news. Our troops that contained the three companies of the Chuxiong Division on the periphery also suffered heavy losses. Now the reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army have arrived at the periphery, and they are encircling and annihilating several troops on our periphery."
"Yo Xi, there is no time left. This round, all the troops will launch a general attack on Chu Xiong's troops for the final decisive battle!"
Ushijima had no time to try anymore, the second round of attack was a relentless general attack!
The Japanese once again launched a "Long Live" charge. The 3,000 men were still arranged in ten echelons, and they wanted to defeat the Eighth Route Army's defense line with a continuous charge;
Strictly speaking, the "pig attack" tactic is not a sending-off tactic. It depends on who the opponent is!
If the powerful countries in Europe and the United States have extremely powerful firepower, then the "pig attack" tactic is no different from sending someone to death;
If it were the Chinese army that lacked guns, ammunition, and weak firepower, the "pig attack" tactic would still be quite lethal. After ten consecutive rounds of uninterrupted impact, the barrels of the guns would be deformed, and their formation was not a swarm. We will still pay attention to the formation, but it will be denser than the commonly used skirmish line.
The Japanese casualties will increase a lot, but the pressure on the defending side will also increase.
"Old Chu, the Japanese are going to fight for their lives, can we use Wei Yixiao?"
"Of course Lao Gao can use it. This is the time we have been waiting for. Engineer Wei will have any objections if we don't use it!"
"Inform the artillery company that when the second echelon of the Japanese's pig breakout tactics is dispatched, they will bomb the hell. They can seize the opportunity themselves!"
Chu Xiong directly authorized the right to fire artillery to the artillery company, and Gao Wancheng went to convey it in person.
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
The Japs' attack has started, and it's really a bit overwhelming!
The first wave of attacks was broken up by more than a dozen machine guns from the independent battalion. After they dropped dozens of corpses, others returned from the wings to the rear to form a new echelon. Such attacks really made people feel endless. , the ammunition consumption for the defender is also quite large, and ordinary Eighth Route Army troops really can't handle it.
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
In the second wave of attacks, another squadron or above of Japs rushed towards the Eighth Route Army's position, shouting and firing. Their death squads were mixed in. Once they got close, they would detonate the bombs on them and focus the Eighth Route Army's firepower. blow up...
"Dong dong dong..."
Suddenly, more than twenty strange things flew over from the top of the mountain and smashed at the Japanese from high up...
"Trebuchet?"
Suddenly Beiyuan thought of something, and his face turned pale instantly!
Before Beihara could say anything, more than twenty explosive packs exploded in the crowd of Japs. It was like a big stone suddenly thrown into the pond. It swept over them in waves, sweeping away a large area!
After the explosion, there was a void in front of me. The Japanese infantry filled the void again like inertia...
Then there was another round, condescending, almost all ten echelons were within the striking range, massacre without blind spots!
The fragments flying all over the sky will die if they touch or stick to each other. The explosive package bounces up to 2 meters high when it falls on the ground, and then explodes, shooting hundreds of thousands of fragments towards the Japanese.
"Bagayalu, we have been fooled by Chu Xiong again!"
"Get out quickly!"
Ushijima shouted angrily, but it was too late, the third round of shells flew over again, and the Japanese collapsed!
"Blow the charge!"
Behind the top of the mountain was the sound of a charge that made the Japanese feel terrified. The Japanese army had completely collapsed. More than a thousand Japanese soldiers who were not dead or injured began to flee down the mountain...
At this time, Ushijima could hardly believe his eyes. Groups of Eighth Route Army troops actually emerged from the ground, and they continued to join the team chasing the Japanese!
Under the ground where the position was thought to have been wiped out, countless Eight Route Army soldiers suddenly appeared. They shouted slogans and chased the imperial army all the way...
"This is a big conspiracy, Mr. Beiyuan, you must stand out and tell the commander everything that happened here. Don't attack Chu Xiong easily. If you do, you must strike with thunder!
We must find a way to transfer Chu Xiong out of Liu Town! "
"Your Majesty General, let's go together, the imperial army needs your experience!"
Kitahara tried to persuade Ushijima to leave, but Ushijima shook his head decisively - someone must be responsible for this defeat!
Seeing that Ushijima had made up his mind, Kitahara stopped talking and began to run away. He had to run back and report everything here to the Commander.
There is no suspense anymore in this battle. The Japanese are caught up and eliminated one by one!
The charge echoed continuously in the valley, this is the cry of victory!
Most of the Japanese defeated troops were overtaken and eliminated by the Eighth Route Army. Only a few escaped into the high mountains and ridges, such as the fateful Colonel Kitahara and a small number of cavalry led by Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda.
Major General Ushijima chose to commit suicide by caesarean section. Except for a small number of the arrogant Ushijima brigade who fled into the mountains and forests, everyone else was wiped out.
The anti-mopping up campaign at the New Year's Eve in Liuzhen finally ended successfully!
