The sixth general Hata Shun said that he would send reinforcements, and he would definitely send a large number of elite troops for reinforcements - and this was an order from the Japanese base camp, and it also came from the will of Emperor Hirohito, because he really could not accept an organized division being surrounded by the Chinese army. reality.
With the powerful support troops of the three detachments, plus the main force of the 101st Division, the ground reinforcements alone reached the strength of two and a half divisions, not to mention the airdrop and bombing support from various types of aircraft.
In order to join the reinforcements sent by General Hata Shun as soon as possible, Lieutenant General Matsuura Junrokuro decided to break out at Zhanggu Mountain.
When all the artillery fire and breakout forces set their location here, the Zhanggushan battlefield was destined to be a blaze of smoke!
The camera turned to the Japanese forward position in Zhanggushan, and the time returned to ten minutes ago.
In order to ensure that the Zhang Gushan position could be captured as scheduled, General Matsuura Junrokuro came to the front line to command the frontline troops to capture the Zhang Gushan position. He came out of the thundering and drumming headquarters just to watch this scene. "A grand fireworks feast"!
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
…
Looking at the plumes of smoke and dust blown up by planes and cannons on the mountain, General Matsuura Junrokuro was excited: "Yoshi! Yoshi! This is the scene that should appear. It's so beautiful, so beautiful!"
When Matsuura Junrokuro was talking, even his hands were raised. It was obvious that he was full of confidence in this offensive.
"Long live the Imperial Army, Long Live the Emperor!!" The Japanese officers nearby also shouted wildly, as if they had already secured victory.
"Order the frontline troops to prepare for the attack immediately and make every effort!" Matsuura Junrokuro excitedly issued the combat order.
"Hai!!!" The surrounding Japanese officers responded, very excited, as if they had seen the dawn of victory!
At the order of the division commander Junroku Matsuura, the Japanese vanguard immediately selected more than 300 death squads and more than 200 reinforcements to prepare for the final attack.
When the artillery fire stopped, the Japanese forward troops had already launched a charge.
"The damn China native pigs will definitely be knocked unconscious by this powerful artillery bombardment. Let's just wait! We will definitely win!" The surrounding Japanese officers were full of optimism.
But what happened five minutes later was very unforgettable for them - a head appeared again on the top of the mountain and began to launch a counterattack against the troops charging up from the bottom of the mountain.
"Thud, tug, tug, tug..."
"Da da, da da da da..."
"Bang!" "Bang!"
…
Bursts of intense gunfire came from the mountain and were clearly audible.
The Japanese troops rushing up from the bottom of the mountain began to suffer casualties, one, two, three...
These Japanese troops all fell on the way to the charge. Who would have thought that under such an artillery attack, the Chinese army would still be able to fight back.
"Order the artillery troops to continue to prepare for bombardment!!" Junrokuro Matsuura yelled angrily. Although the Chinese army's marksmanship was not accurate, it was this tenacious fighting spirit that angered him.
Due to the failure of the battle in Nantianpu, the current use of Japanese troops is not generally tense. Matsuura Junrokuro didn't just send a telegram saying that the troops were insufficient and reinforcements were necessary.
"Hai!!" a Japanese officer behind Matsuura Junrokuro responded. He was responsible for docking the artillery position.
Matsuura Junrokuro finally figured it out. Even if all the members of the death squads rushed up, they might not be able to take down the position on the mountain. Instead of wasting the few remaining soldiers, it was better to concentrate on killing the enemy with the power of artillery bombardment. !
It's not that Commander Matsuura is stingy, it's that he really has too few troops on hand right now. If it weren't for the fact that he had so few troops on hand, he really wouldn't want to be stingy with these troops - if not, he would soon spend them all With the few remaining troops on hand.
It has to be said that the Japanese death squads, even without much support from the rear, still broke out with strong combat effectiveness.
At least, their marksmanship is very accurate, and their well-trained military quality is not comparable to that of the current national army - even the 74th Army, which can be called the elite ace of the national army, has a large number of soldiers in its ranks. New recruits who were sent to the battlefield after only three months of training.
Among these new recruits, only a handful had ever fired a gun. After all, during the war, bullets were extremely scarce, and the supply on the front line was almost exhausted, let alone used for training.
There is a saying that goes well, war is fought by logistics. Individuals cannot control the direction of the war, but strong logistics can.
Therefore, after paying nearly two hundred casualties, the frontline troops of the Japanese army began to step onto the positions of the national army. These Japanese troops rushed forward screaming, their bright bayonets shining in the sun. Extraordinarily conspicuous.
This wave can be said to be Matsuura Junrokuro's exploratory attack - although five hundred people were sent to charge despite the severe shortage of troops, it could also test to the maximum extent how many people he still had on him. They don't want to turn this breakout battle into a fuel battle. In that case, they will only lose more.
As for the National Army troops on the mountain, more than 300 Japanese troops were about to rush to the National Army positions for close combat. This threat was not ordinary, and the National Army troops immediately organized a powerful counterattack.
The sound of killing resounded throughout the top of Zhanggu Mountain. Countless national and Japanese troops were fighting together, and the sound of killing was everywhere.
Listening to the shouts of killing, Matsuura Junrokuro looked at the sun that was about to set, and then said: "The enemy troops still have many elite troops on the other side of the mountain. Our bombing should have caused great damage to the Chinese army. , otherwise their shouts of killing should not be so weak. The entire top of Zhanggu Mountain can accommodate at least one regiment!"
"Then please tell me, division commander, what should we do?" the Japanese officer next to him asked.
"What should we do? Let's see how the troops on the mountain are holding up! Let's take advantage of the night to take a good rest and try to break out from Zhanggu Mountain in one go. We must occupy Zhanggu Mountain before noon tomorrow! This is our last hope Yes!" Matsuura Junrokuro said very seriously.
For Junroku Matsuura, this is indeed a gamble. He has already stood on the gambling table of this huge gamble. He must continue to gamble no matter what, because there is no turning back.
The setting sun was already approaching the top of the mountain in the west. Matsuura Junrokuro knew better than anyone that if they went up now, it would be bad for everyone, especially in night operations. Without the cover of aircraft and artillery, they would have to face hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese army. The tragic situation was just like the battle at Biandan Mountain - controlled by the Chinese army at night and controlled by the Japanese army during the day, the mountains were filled with corpses and seas of blood flowed into rivers.
This situation is not what the Japanese army wants to see, at least not now!

PS: Updates are coming!
In the past few days, my girlfriend is gone, my unborn child is about to be born, and we are quarreling every day. It’s true that I’m working on two books now, but my energy in the past few days was indeed barely enough to maintain the update of one book!
So, tonight, the two books will be updated together. I will try to update both books tomorrow night!
Thanks to Qidian book friend James Leggeshen for the 100-point reward!
