"It's good to be here, we can finally do something." Zhang Tianhai was gearing up. After all, the status of each unit, although it had not returned to the pre-war organization, the fighting spirit had surpassed the pre-war fighting will.
After several consecutive military victories, the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers of the First Guard Regiment was very high, and everyone wanted to find trouble with the little devil.
…
However, just when Zhang Tianhai's troops were gearing up to cause trouble for the Japs, Zhang Gushan's battle was not optimistic.
The troops responsible for attacking Zhanggushan were the troops of the 74th Army of the Central Army, and the troops responsible for the first offensive were the most elite 58th Division.
On the afternoon of October 2, the 58th Division relied on its strong strength and firepower advantages to annihilate the Japanese troops on Zhanggu Mountain in one fell swoop and occupy the position.
After learning that Zhang Gushan had been captured, Lieutenant General Matsuura Junrokuro was extremely anxious and immediately decided to recapture Zhang Gushan at all costs, which might be the "only breakout channel."
Therefore, on October 3, the positions of the 58th Division were attacked in retaliation by the Japanese army.
However, the Japanese attack was not carried out immediately that day——
In order to ensure the maximum saving of troops and ensure a sufficient number of troops on the Nantianpu battlefield, Matsuura Junrokuro immediately decided to cover Zhanggushan with artillery fire!
So on this day, the national army position in Zhanggushan was bombarded by Japanese aircraft and artillery all day long. Even aerial bombs, incendiary bombs and other things were used completely, which was quite ferocious.
The bombing didn't stop for a whole day, and the entire hilltop was filled with thick smoke and fire.
"Let the troops withdraw from their positions immediately!" Yu Jashi clenched his fists and ordered the adjutant beside him.
At this time, Yu Jishi's eyes were already red, and his eyes were filled with anger.
"Military seat, the artillery fire in front is so fierce that we can't retreat." The adjutant's eyes were also red, and his voice was trembling with a feeling of weakness.
In fact, Yu Jishi also knew that under such ferocious artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, the national army's defensive positions would not last long at all - let alone that they did not have strong fortifications made of cement and steel bars. Even if they did, they would not last long. .
Therefore, Yu Jishi knew better than anyone else that if the 58th Division defended in such positions, all the fortifications would be razed before long!
After hearing the adjutant's reminder, Yu Jishi finally came to his senses: the troops had already pressed forward and could not retreat at all. In the battle of Zhanggushan, they could only rely on Wang Yaowu's 51st Division.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Yu Jishi prefers the 58th Division - because this is the 58th Division where he started, and the 51st Division was led by Wang Yaowu single-handedly. The division was stronger than the 51st Division in terms of weapons and equipment and the quality of its soldiers, so he asked the 58th Division to go up and challenge the Japanese enemy front.
I wanted to overwhelm the enemy with Yu Zhengrui, but I never thought it would end like this. Thinking of this, Yu Jishi's heart was bleeding. That was the good Erlang he brought out with his own hands, and he was sacrificed under the enemy's artillery fire. !
"Military seat, wait a moment! We have the 74th Army, but we still have our 51st Division." Wang Yaowu, who was on the side, patted Army Commander Yu Jishi on the shoulder to show his support.
"Okay, if the 58th Division is still here for this battle, I will send you." In a daze, the logic of Yu Jashi's words was somewhat wrong, but he did not realize it himself.
Wang Yaowu also understood Yu Jishi's mood, so he didn't go out of his way to say useless nonsense.
…
As of the afternoon, the 58th Division's position was already a scorched earth.
…
Wang Huazhu is an ordinary soldier of the 1st Battalion of the 343rd Regiment of the 172nd Brigade of the 58th Division. As the middle force holding the position, he and other comrades stood on the Zhanggushan position.
The rumbling sound of cannons covered up everything around them, as if the whole world was filled with only vibrations and sound of cannons, and nothing else.
Wang Huazhu followed the instructor's instructions and hid in the artillery fortification with his mouth open to avoid being deafened by the violent shelling. However, his mouth was still full of dust.
After finally surviving until the bombardment stopped, Wang Huazhu immediately heard the sharp rallying call.
"Gather! Gather! The little devils are coming! Prepare to fight!!" the battalion commander was shouting, because he no longer knew how many company commanders and platoon commanders he had changed. In order to avoid the situation of soldiers who do not know their generals, In this situation, only he personally took charge.
Sure enough, when the assembly horn sounded, many surviving officers and soldiers came out. They were responsible for defending the main position. If this position was lost, the Zhang Gushan position would also be lost.
The battalion commander looked and saw that there were about 300 people left. They should be able to repel the Japanese attack. But how many people would be left after this battle? Therefore, he asked the battalion staff to call the regiment commander and inform him that there were only more than 300 people left here. If reinforcements were not sent, even if the Japanese attack could be defended this time, the position would definitely fail the next time. Lost.
"Gather immediately! Go back to your respective combat positions! The Japs will be coming up soon!" the battalion commander shouted. At this time, Zhang Gushan's position seemed to have changed, and he no longer recognized him. .
In fact, it's no wonder, because when the regiment leader brought Battalion Commander Zhu and the others to this position, it was still lush and green, with green everywhere and the sounds of birds and flowers. But what about now? Everything was charred gray, and there was a burning heat of death all around, and the trunks of some remaining trees were even still burning.
There is devastation everywhere and despair everywhere.
Battalion Commander Zhu looked into the distance and found that the Japanese flag was still flying, and the Japanese flag bearer was conveying the order to attack to his comrades in flag language.
Although they knew what the Japanese army was going to do next, they could only wait for their attack on the spot, unable to do anything.
This is a conspiracy, an upright conspiracy, a conspiracy that you can't resist, you can't resist!
At the foot of the mountain, groups of Japanese soldiers who took off their shirts and wore turbans with dog skin plaster patterns on their foreheads were charging in an orderly manner.
This is the death squad of the Japanese army. They will rush to the Chinese army's position as soon as possible, launch a desperate attack on the Chinese army, and occupy Zhanggushan, the bridgehead for breakout!
"Ha Youku! Kill! Charge!!"
The Japanese commanders at the grassroots level were holding their swords high and croaking without fear of death - they received a death order to capture Zhang Gushan at all costs. This was the death order of the division commander Junroku Matsuura, and also The only way for their 106th Division to survive.
It took Junroku Matsuura several lessons to figure out his situation - the 106th Division was already trapped in a tight siege by the Chinese army, and the forces on all four sides were very powerful, especially the enemy forces in the west, which were the most ferocious. .
Therefore, Lieutenant General Matsuura Junrokuro set his sights on the direction of Zhanggu Mountain, because the terrain here was relatively easy to capture, and General Hata Shun Liu also commanded three detachments to quickly reinforce from the north, east, and south directions!
