The Fourth War Zone, Kunlun Pass, and Highland 653 were filled with smoke and the shouts of killing were loud.
The Battle of Kunlun Pass has been going on for several days. The 150,000 elite Central Army of the Kuomintang and the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, known as the Steel Army, are locked in battle around Kunlun Pass. Both sides have suffered heavy casualties. The Central Army's yellow-green uniforms It was spread all over the floor.
Highland 653 is a strategic location in the northeast of Kunlun Pass. The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack;
The 42nd Regiment, the absolute main force of the Japanese, was defending Highland 653, while the Honorary Division of the Fifth Army was attacking Highland 653. It was a real battle of steel swords against steel swords.
The Honorable First Division launched more than a dozen attacks on Highland 653, but was defeated all due to the steep terrain and fierce Japanese firepower. The high ground was covered with yellow-green silhouettes. These were all armed and trained by the government at a huge cost. Elite!
"Commander, we can't continue fighting like this. The Japanese are hiding in the tunnels and bunkers. We have enough ammunition. Our cannons hit them like scratches. Our brothers suffered heavy casualties under the intensive firepower of the Japanese. If we continue to fight, the whole division will be destroyed." It’s all gone!”
Wang Bo, the colonel commander of the Second Rong Regiment, almost cried out to Commander Zheng. This iron-clad Sanxiang man had just come down from the position with gun smoke on his face;
This is the first time he has complained, which shows how brutal this battle was.
"Wang Bo, you kid, don't complain to me. We Hunan people are the hardest-working and domineering people. Can't we handle this?
Have you forgotten the life and death oath our Honorary First Division made when we left Hunan last year? "
"Sir, how could I forget that unless the Hunan people die, China will not perish!"
Wang Bo replied loudly.
"Very good, just remember it! The Xiang people of our Rong First Division haven't died yet, are you giving in?
Wang Bo, if you have the guts, you can continue to lead the Sanxiang disciples from the Second Rong Regiment to attack me!
attack! !
attack! ! !
Rush to Highland 653 and kill all these devils known as the Steel Army!
Eijidan is harder than steel!
kill! "
Master Zheng's roar came from the depths of his soul, and his murderous intent shot straight into the sky.
"Brothers from the Second Regiment, kill me!"
Wang Bo shouted, carrying a medium-sized formal rifle, and rushed towards Highland 653. Behind him were groups of Sanxiang disciples who generously sacrificed their lives.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The enemy's gunfire sounded again, and groups of yellow-green figures fell down, staining the pass with blood.
The Second Regiment was not intimidated by the powerful firepower of the Japanese. They rushed forward one after another, holding bundles of grenades and explosive packs one by one, and rushed towards the Japanese bunkers and tunnels, dying together with the Japanese.
Highland 653 was captured inch by inch, and every inch of land was stained with the blood of the Sanxiang soldiers of the Second Rong Regiment. They used their blood and lives to fulfill the solemn oath they made when they left Hunan.
The Japs of the 42nd Regiment were not to be outdone. They faced Chinese soldiers who were several times their number. After they ran out of bullets, they rushed out of the tunnel with explosive packets. They detonated themselves and also killed and wounded several Chinese soldiers. They were stubborn. Like stones in a latrine!
Both sides are fighting for their lives, no one is willing to give in to the other, and they will fight with bayonets when they run out of bullets!
"Kill!"
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
A group of yellow-green and a group of shit-yellows collided with bayonets.
"Puff puff……"
With the sound of bayonets piercing flesh, the dense crowds on both sides instantly disappeared.
"You are so numb! Little devil, I will send you to the West."
A young soldier pulled a bundle of grenades on his chest and pounced on several fierce Japanese soldiers...
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the little warrior sacrificed his life to send several Japanese soldiers to meet their Amaterasu;
The little warrior disappeared into the air, and his body turned into a rain of blood, which was sprinkled on the hot land he guarded with his life;
His soul will be with the towering Kunlun!
N years later, the following lines were engraved on the monument to the unknown heroes of the 653 Highland Attack:
Sanyaozi, 17 years old, a native of Hunan, a private in Class 5, Company 1, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Regiment;
He died on December 21, 1939. During the battle, he fired a bundle of grenades on his body and died together with five Japanese soldiers. After the war, only a rag on his chest was found, which is where the information about Sanyaozi comes from.
No one knows the surname of Sanyaozi. Sanyaozi is just his nickname. There are countless such names in Sanxiang;
Because this is no longer important. Too many unknown martyrs have fallen on Highland 653. They have turned into monuments, coexisting with the earth and shining with the sun and the moon.
Why is the battle flag so beautiful?
The blood of heroes dyed her red;
Why is spring always present in the earth?
The life of a hero blooms with flowers;
"The Japanese have been captured, Rongsan Regiment, follow me!"
After Commander Zheng gave the order, he picked up a Thompson submachine gun and rushed to Highland 653 with a shout. Behind him were thousands of Sanxiang soldiers from the Rongsan Regiment.
Two hours later, Wang Bo finally reached the top of Highland 653. The brothers of the Rong Second Regiment beside him could no longer gather together a battalion, and the Rong Third Regiment led by Master Zheng also suffered nearly half casualties;
The entire Rong 1st Division suffered more than half of its casualties, and the remaining hundreds of Japs from the 42nd Regiment withdrew from the battle. The battle on Highland 653 ended successfully, laying a solid foundation for the victory at Kunlun Pass.
The heroic feats of Commander Zheng's 1st Rong Division in Highland 653 are worthy of their title of Honorary 1st Division!
Ninth War Region Commander's Department, Commander Xue is furious
It has been almost a month since the nine divisions of the Ninth War Zone besieged the Dashaping stronghold at the junction of southern Hubei and northern Hunan. They still have not captured a Japanese stronghold that is not defended by a single brigade. This makes the acting commander, Lieutenant General Xue, not angry. .
"Everyone, nine divisions besieged a Japanese stronghold where a large group was stationed. They lost troops and generals, and made no progress. They all have their own agendas. I am ashamed of you!
Shuzhong has become angry and sent a reprimand message. Let me read it to you. I, the war zone commander, have been completely disgraced by you. Please listen carefully:
In the Ninth War Zone, the nine divisions besieged Dashaping for almost more than a month. Our army suffered heavy casualties, and the enemy's broadcast said it was an unprecedented continuous battle.
But the division has been in vain for a long time and has not received any results!
Why?
Among these nine divisions, advancement and retreat, front and rear, courage and timidity, strength and weakness, as well as their advantages and disadvantages, merits and demerits, should be deliberately and clearly examined and truly reviewed. "
"You nine divisions with tens of thousands of people fought against hundreds of Japanese strongholds for more than 20 days. Why can't they defeat them?
The reason is that everyone has their own agenda, everyone wants to preserve their strength, and no one wants to rush ahead;
Each of them passed the blame, resulting in heavy casualties but no achievements..."
As Li Chendong expected, there were millions of troops, but only a small part actually fought desperately. The local army, the Central Army, and the various factions of the Central Army all had their own agendas and were trying to preserve their strength, and some were even trying to undermine each other;
In addition, the Japanese obtained the government's battle plan in advance, built targeted defenses, and used strong fortifications to kill a large number of attacking Chinese soldiers, resulting in a large number of hard-trained veterans dying in vain;
Although certain results have been achieved, the price paid far exceeds the gain, just to satisfy someone who is very happy with his success.
Southeast Shanxi, Guling City, the 338th Regiment's winter offensive is in full swing
In the previous battle at Chenguanzhuang, the 338th Regiment fought very well. It took only two hours to capture Chenguanzhuang where a squadron was stationed, annihilating more than 80 people (don’t take it too seriously), and capturing more than a dozen long and short guns, with only one casualty. 5-people!
This is the battle report reported by the 338th Regiment to the division. Don’t take it too seriously. Half of the Chenguanzhuang garrison squadron has already withdrawn to Guling City;
The 338th Regiment captured an empty stronghold. Of course, this did not affect its victory at Chenguanzhuang, because the division needed this victory, and the commander's department also needed it...
