"Military seat, the front line has been plunged into fierce fighting. Do you want to send reinforcements to support the 58th Division?" A soldier stepped forward and reported to Army Commander Yu Jishi.
"No need! The troops of the 58th Division are the troops that I, Yu Jishi, personally led. No matter how you say it, they are a force with strong combat effectiveness. There is no way that the 58th Division cannot survive." Yu Jishi glared. He said with a pair of eyes full of stubbornness. As a representative of Huangpu's first period, he always allowed himself to go longer and further than others.
More importantly, it is now impossible to withdraw the frontline positions. Once they retreat, everything will be chaos, because the battle has already begun. If it continues like this, the result will be the same.
At the same time, Yu Jishi was already prepared to let the entire 58th Division defend to the death, unless they were all wiped out!
"Military seat, our 51st Division is ready to provide support at any time!" Wang Yaowu stood at attention and saluted.
"Wait!" Yu Jishi turned around and patted Wang Yaowu on the shoulder.
For Yu Jishi, military honor is paramount. He single-handedly led the 58th Division. He can't count how many soldiers he sacrificed to earn the title of "Hu Ben". However, the current situation is far from dangerous. , but the casualties were higher.
"Military, although you did not bring us the 51st Division, our brothers in the 51st Division are definitely not cowards. Just give us a chance!" The 51st Division next to you Zhang Lingfu, deputy commander of the 153rd Brigade and commander of the 305th Regiment, said.
"Wait! This battle will not end so soon. The 58th Division is far from exhausted. Your 51st still has to complete more important tasks. Even if the 74th Even if the army is exhausted, the Matsuura Division cannot be allowed to break out, otherwise, we will all be the eternal sinners of the nation. The brothers of the 58th Division are just one step ahead of the brothers of the 51st Division." Yu Jishi said in a deep voice , it looks like he is ready to lead his troops to fight to the end.
"I understand your humble position." Zhang Lingfu stood at attention and saluted. At the same time, the surrounding officers also immediately stood at attention and saluted.
…
The fierce battle in Zhanggushan was still fierce. The Japanese army relied on its powerful land and air artillery to bombard the national army position in Zhanggushan.
The explosions on Zhanggu Mountain didn't stop all day long. What can be said is that as soon as the artillery fire here stopped, the Japanese infantry had already begun to charge, and it was not very fast.
The shouts of killing and the sound of artillery shelling were all loud. The Japanese army put almost all their hopes in the direction of Zhanggu Mountain.
It was this ferocious artillery fire and the powerful and continuous offensive of the Japanese army that caused the 58th Division to suffer heavy casualties. In just one morning, it had already lost more than half of its troops.
"Put the troops up! Put all the reserves up!" This was the order given by Yu Jishi after receiving the tenth call for help from Feng Shengfa, commander of the 58th Division.
The Japanese army's ferocious offensive made the national army's troops in Zhanggushan almost difficult to move forward.
If not, why would Feng Shengfa be so anxious to ask his old classmate, comrade-in-arms, and superior leader Yu Jashi to send reinforcements so anxiously?
Of course, Yu Jishi also knew who Feng Shengfa was. After all, he was an old classmate. He also knew very well that if this old classmate wasn't in a very urgent situation, why would he be so anxious to ask for reinforcements?
About an hour later, after the Japanese army launched another fierce attack, Feng Shengfa called the military headquarters again: "Hello, this is Feng Shengfa, tell the military commander to answer the phone immediately!"
"Military seat, Commander Feng's phone number." A combat staff officer said to Yu Jishi.
Yu Jishi answered the phone directly without thinking: "Hello, this is Yu Jishi."
"Military seat, this place can no longer withstand it. Send reinforcements quickly! If we don't send reinforcements, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on!" Feng Shengfa's voice on the other end of the phone was already a little hoarse.
Listening to Feng Shengfa's voice, Yu Jishi also knew that Feng Shengfa must be in a desperate situation, so he looked at the guard camp outside the military headquarters and said: "Old Feng, listen to me, no matter what, you must hear the sun Go down the mountain, and when the sun goes down, I will send the 51st Division to take over your position! One more thing, you must listen carefully, I only have one battalion of reinforcements here, and that is my guard battalion! I leave one Platoon, Guard Headquarters, and everyone else I’ll give you! Listen, if the position can’t be defended, you have to come back alive for me!”
"Yes! Military! Old Feng thanks you here! I promise to complete the mission under my humble position!" Feng Shengfa said sternly, this was the best he could guarantee.
"Okay, remember, you have to come back alive! I'll wait for you at the military headquarters!" After saying that, Yu Jashi hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Feng Shengfa looked at the mountain tops that were already filled with smoke and laughed loudly: "Little devil, just wait! Even if I die here, you can't run away. Many brothers in Huangpu have died. In this battlefield, there is no shortage of me, Feng Shengfa! Fuck your ancestors!"
With that said, Feng Shengfa waved his hand, signaling his officers and soldiers to enter combat mode.
Although there were only more than 300 people left on this hilltop, they were confident enough to repel another fierce attack from the Japs.
There were corpses everywhere on the ground, all with broken arms and limbs. If the national army on the hilltop wanted to take a step forward, they had to step on the corpses to move forward. The loess on the ground had long been dyed red. This is what happened to the 58th Division. The remains of thousands of officers and soldiers, as well as the corpses left by the Japanese army.
The stream flowing under the mountain has already turned red and smells of blood.
This is the stream dyed red with the blood of officers and soldiers from both China and Japan!
"Kill!!" Following the order from the frontline officer of the national army, gunfire started again.
At this time, the situation was no longer the same as the situation in Nantianpu. This breakout operation gathered all the combat aircraft available from the entire Central China Expeditionary Force in order to save the Matsuura Division.
It can be said that the top of Zhanggu Mountain was bombed by all the aircraft at the disposal of the entire Central China Expeditionary Force, so how could there not be heavy casualties.
Regarding the situation of the 58th Division, Yu Jishi sent a telegram to the First Corps and the Military Commission in Wuhan at the same time. It probably said that the 74th Army suffered heavy casualties on the front line and the 58th Division was almost wiped out. Category.
After receiving Yu Jishi's telegram, the Military Commission immediately reported it to Chiang Kai-shek. Seeing that his direct troops were almost exhausted, Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly asked the front line to "change defenses."
What was different from the reaction of the Wuhan Military Commission was that Xue Yue issued a death order and asked the 74th Army to defend. At the same time, he notified the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater Zone to assemble immediately to prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Zhanggushan.
Xue Yue's reason is also very simple - if even ace troops such as the 74th Army and the 1st Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater Zone cannot withstand it, then other troops will not be able to withstand it, and they will only miss the opportunity.
You know, if you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it will be difficult to have such a big victory again.
Therefore, Xue Yue's order to the 74th Army was "Fight to the death without retreating. If you retreat without fighting, you will be dealt with according to military law"!
