After more than a month of truce, the Japanese offensive began again.
When a country is weak, it is not only the military but also the spirit that wins the battle.
This is just like when the Japanese army launched the September 18th Incident to attack the Shenyang North Camp, a few hundred people took over the entire Shenyang.
And what is the underlying reason for this? It is the fear of China's top leaders who always want to settle the matter and always count on the mediation of the so-called "League of Nations".
Because I was afraid, I was immediately intimidated by others!
After losing Gubeikou, the Chinese army was thinking about how to defend Nantianmen, but they did not realize that the Battle of Gubeikou also caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army. In fact, the Japanese army's strength was not enough, and they needed to mobilize more troops from the mainland. .
In just over a month, the invaders have been preparing their troops. As for the Chinese army, although it is said that it is actively preparing for war, has this preparation been implemented?
So now the rumbling sound of the invaders' cannons has become a new test of this.
If Nantianmen is lost again, the Japanese army can directly face Miyun.
Where is Miyun? From Hebei.
Where is Hebei? Very close to Peking.
In other words, as long as the Japanese army takes over Nantianmen, there will be no mountains to defend north of Peiping, and the entire North China region will be under the covetousness of the Japanese army.
So, can this final mountain pass leading to North China be defended?
At this time, in the first building of the eight buildings, the soldiers who had been gambling just now had picked up their guns, and one of them took advantage of the platoon leader's carelessness to pull some scattered banknotes on the ground into his pocket. .
The reason is that at the moment when the Japanese artillery fired, they were gambling and used the money from gambling to buy cigarettes, wine and even pork heads that the small businessman often brought to them!
"What the hell, let's start fighting as soon as we say it. I don't know if our building can withstand the Japanese artillery shells!" said the first soldier.
"It should be fine!" the second soldier speculated.
"Who said it's okay? Can these Great Wall bricks withstand Japanese artillery shells?" The third Japanese soldier expressed doubts.
"You know nothing!" their platoon leader scolded at this time, "These are mountains. The Japanese cannons can't be transported here. How can they blow up our building?"
When the platoon leader said this, the worried soldiers were slightly relieved.
It's just that the worries about the cannon have just disappeared, but new worries have arisen.
"Did you see that? The Japs' infantry are coming out!" Another soldier shouted.
is not that right? Everyone saw Japanese infantry wearing khaki military uniforms appearing more than a mile ahead.
"Platoon leader, do you think we can hold on?" Another soldier asked worriedly.
"What can't we defend? With the terrain in front of us, can they attack us?
Besides, our company is guarding three gun towers. No matter where the Japanese come from, they will face crossfire from us. What the hell are you afraid of! "The platoon leader is a veteran after all. He still has the basic military knowledge, so the platoon leader will calm the morale of the soldiers.
"I think the platoon leader is right!" At this time, some soldiers agreed, "Look, the slope ahead is so steep, if the Japanese dare to climb up.
They only have two hands, right? If they want to climb up, they have to hold on to the rocks and shrubs, otherwise they won't be able to climb up.
If they want to shoot us, they can't climb up! "
This soldier argued that the Japanese army could not attack from the perspective that a person only had two hands.
After some conversation, the soldiers finally plucked up their courage.
But at this moment, a soldier said, "Can the Japanese come up from behind us?"
His worries are not unreasonable. As the name suggests, Badaolouzi are eight watchtowers on the Great Wall.
There is still a certain distance between the watch towers. Who can guarantee that the Japanese army cannot have a small team pass between the two watch towers and attack them from behind?
"The back side is quite steep, so where is the way up?" At this time, other soldiers retorted.
"Why is there no road behind? If there is no road behind, how did that little dealer come up here? Did the pig head meat you won yesterday fly up by yourself?" But as soon as he finished speaking, someone else expressed a different opinion. .
This time, before the person from before could speak again, a soldier shouted: "Look, the Japanese are coming to us!"
When he shouts like this, everyone will see it, right? The Japanese army, which originally seemed to be taking a detour to the flanks, actually came towards them.
As the commanding heights of this area, Badaolouzi can still see the enemy situation around it very clearly.
"Get ready to fight!" the platoon leader ordered, but he glanced at the people around him and said angrily, "Why are you hiding in this turret, why don't you go out?"
The turrets mentioned by the platoon leader naturally refer to the enemy towers. The enemy towers were all built by the ancients, but after all, they are not turrets in the modern sense. How many arrow windows can be used as shooting holes on the entire enemy tower? ? All the people in their platoon are in the enemy tower. The same brand and troops are in the enemy tower, and they can't be manipulated at all.
There were three platoons in their company, but one platoon happened to be guarding one watchtower.
With the platoon leader speaking, the soldiers had no choice but to grab their guns and run out from the exit of the watchtower.
The platoon leader did not move. He wanted to take command in the enemy tower. This was only one aspect. The more important reason was that outside the enemy tower, they only dug six foxholes in total. There are so many people that there is no cover at all!
It is said that there is no way to fight without building fortifications, but when it came to building fortifications, the platoon leader became angry.
It has been a month since they arrived at this first building, but the superiors ignored them, the food was not good, and there was no water in the watchtower, but they relied on spending money to get from that small building. The merchant bought food from his hands.
People have to work energetically, but if they don’t, how can they dig a bunker? There are rubbles everywhere on this mountain, so it’s okay not to dig a bunker.
Alas, if I had known that the Japanese would really attack, I would have had people dig more foxholes.
The platoon leader was thinking about it when he suddenly heard someone shouting from outside: "Poor, platoon leader, the Japanese are coming from behind!"
The platoon leader trembled when he heard the news. He instinctively grabbed his gun and ran out from the exit.
As soon as he rushed out of the brick door of the Great Wall, he saw an earth-yellow figure appearing on the hillside behind him. At this time, he heard a "hissing" sound, and then the loud explosion. The soldier pit was submerged by the dust raised by the explosion!
"No, I was sold by that little dealer!" the platoon leader shouted, ignoring the choking smoke.
There is only one path up the mountain from the back. Even if the Japanese army takes a detour, they may not be able to find the path up the mountain.
Because the path is winding in the mountains, and some places are blocked by rocks. Without a guide, no one can even think of coming up!
The reason for this is very simple. If you don’t know the road, which one, whether Chinese or Japanese, can continue to climb the steep rocks?
It's just that the platoon leader woke up too late. The "hissing" sound could no longer be heard. That was because the grenades fired by the Japanese army's grenades halfway up the mountain were constantly exploding!
The platoon leader tried to look for his soldiers through the black and yellow smoke during the explosion, but what he saw more was his soldiers falling down screaming.
The Japanese army that made a sneak attack only fired a salvo of grenades, and he had already lost more than half of his platoon!
"Shoot, don't let the Japs rush up. Just hold on and our reinforcements will arrive!" When the explosion of grenades stopped, the platoon leader shouted.
But just when he organized less than ten soldiers left and started shooting at the Japanese troops who were almost rushing to the enemy tower, the Japanese machine guns rang out again halfway up the mountain.
The bullets were like the wind, like the rain, like the flying hail. Where could they hide?
The platoon leader rushed to the nearest foxhole.
Although the enemy tower was temporarily safe, it was useless. There was no shooting angle for the Japanese troops approaching from behind.
It was just that when he threw himself into the foxhole, he felt weak. When he lowered his head, he saw that underneath him was a subordinate who had been gambling with him half an hour ago.
The head of his subordinate was covered in blood and flesh, and he was obviously killed in battle.
"Hold on, wait for reinforcements!" the platoon leader shouted again. He raised his head and put his rifle on his shoulder.
But at this moment, a Japanese bullet hit his chest.
It turned out that the foxhole they dug was already shallow. The soldier under him died in it, and the space in the foxhole was almost occupied. But now he was no different from lying on the top of the mountain!
Oops, this bunker is dug shallow!
The platoon leader felt a trace of remorse before he died.
Yes, the Japanese army launched another massive attack.
Of course the Japanese army knew that this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they spent money to bribe the little vendor who always brought snacks here.
The little dealer led the Japanese army and actually circled around the eight buildings and started a sneak attack from behind!
Moreover, the Japanese army did not only attack the first building, but the second and third buildings were attacked at the same time.
More than a month of waiting seems like a long time, but once the battle begins, it happens so quickly!
The eight buildings that were originally regarded as impregnable by the 2nd Division due to the difficult terrain were lost three in a row within half an hour!
