Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 592
It's a bloody day!
The Chinese are unable to retreat, while the Japanese and their dogs are unable to get off.

One side will die if they withdraw, and the other side will lose all their previous efforts.

It's like two gamblers who have put all their wealth into the capital market. No matter what kind of bird the market falls, they have to 'cover their positions' with red eyes.

The commanders of both sides gritted their molars and kept deploying troops to fill the position that would never exceed a square kilometer.

If one infantry company fails, another one will be added; if there are no reserves in the central position, then troops will be drawn from the two wings.

If a position is lost, then organize manpower to regain it, every inch of land must be fought for!

Human life, on such a battlefield, becomes the cheapest item.

The lieutenant general of the Sichuan Army sent the most elite guard company around him into the battlefield at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, two infantry companies drawn from the left wing entered the battlefield.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the two infantry companies of the right flank entered the battlefield.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Dao personally led the guard platoon and Li Jiujin's 2nd company into the battlefield.

Fierce gunfire resounded throughout the entire day in this mountainous area, until the sun set and the setting sun was like blood.

The two warring parties finally stopped this "hot pot battle" suggested by Tang Dao and upgraded by the lieutenant general of the Sichuan Army.

In order to prevent the night attack of the crazy Chinese army, the Jing'an army and the Japanese army took the initiative to use the cover of night to withdraw from the position they occupied after spending a day and paying nearly [-] battle losses.

By noon in the battle, Li Shoushan and the two Japanese majors had actually understood the Chinese mind, and used the canine-toothed position to stick to the infantry they had already entered. It was not because they "loved" them so much, but they used these infantry as their own. A shield to block possible threats from the sky and artillery groups.

Turn a battlefield that is far inferior to your opponent's firepower into a pure battle of infantry skills, tactics and bravery.

The Chinese succeeded, and they miscalculated.

Except for the early morning fighter bombing and a round of shelling, during the day, except for the infantry artillery that reached 600 meters from the front of the position and was able to bombard the Chinese position visible to the naked eye, the mountain artillery and field artillery became decorations.

The bomber formation sent by the navy is even more fuel-intensive, and they can only stare blankly after circling a few times on the mountain. They can only vent their anger by dropping tons of bombs on the left and right wings. But before they arrive, the Chinese on the position may be I dodged early, and there was no use for the ball except to loosen the soil in the mountains.

In addition to disgusting people, this kind of almost slapstick style of warfare can also hurt people to the bone.

The left wing position was beaten so badly by the Chinese with several consecutive kicks, and only lost a few hundred people, but it was good here, and almost an infantry regiment was almost wiped out in one day.

Of course, it wasn't all the loss of the Jing'an Army.

The infantry brigade sent by the Kunizaki detachment to supervise the battle but volunteered to fight also contributed a considerable part of the kills.

The Major Commander of the Infantry Brigade is actually considered a smart person. When he found something was wrong in the afternoon, he would not be so arrogant and coaxing to send people into the battlefield, but that was already after he sent two infantry squadrons into the battlefield.

The unlucky infantry brigade, which had lost more than 150 people in the battle in Songjiang, managed to recruit 80 people from the heavy soldiers, which was barely enough to fill up.

After quietly leaving the battlefield at night and arriving at the rear for an inventory, the Japanese Major, who had looked like a dead mother all day long, almost didn't shed tears.

Of the two infantry squadrons that entered the battlefield, the infantry squadron that entered first could still stand with 90 men, and the other infantry squadron that entered later was in slightly better condition, with 120 men.

This is equivalent to an infantry squadron disappearing in smoke.

But more than 200 people were killed or injured, what do you think of your coward?Li Shoushan felt ashamed of having such a Japanese master, I lost almost 8 infantry companies, okay?
With huge casualties, Li Shoushan felt chills about the outcome of this war for the first time.

As a former Chinese, he is well aware of China's population advantage. If every next battle is fought like this, let alone one for one, even if it is five for one, the Japanese will send all the old, weak, women and children from all over the country. , Not enough to change!
He voluntarily withdrew from the position that took thousands of casualties to capture. He was afraid of being attacked at night. More importantly, Li Shoushan discussed with the two Japanese majors all afternoon and decided that he still had to take advantage of his own heavy firepower.

If this position cannot be conquered in one day, then it will take two days, if not two days, it will be three days. The order of the Tenth Army Command only requires them to arrive at the outskirts of Jinling before early December, and they still have enough time.

They have had enough of exchanging human lives for this tactic.

Compared with the heart-wrenching devils and second devils, the Chinese supreme commander, the lieutenant general of the 145th division, really shed tears when counting personnel after the war during the day.

On the battlefield during the day, he is the supreme commander. For tactical goals, he can ruthlessly fill the fresh life into this life-driven meat grinder.

But when the bright moon was in the sky and he was standing in front of the pale corpses, he was a father and a brother!

These young soldiers are all the soldiers he brought out from his hometown. Their parents came to see them off before the whole army left. The man returned in triumph.

But the war is so cruel, there is no victory, let alone return.

His 1800 soldiers, because of his order, went to the battlefield without hesitation, and then died on the battlefield!
In these two days alone, more than 2000 people were killed in battle.

If you add the casualties in Si'an a few days ago, there are less than 145 of the 5000 soldiers of the 2000th Division who arrived at the front line.

Yes, although more troops have been invested and the terrain is advantageous, the Sichuan Army is far inferior to the Japanese Army in terms of the quality of soldiers and light weapons and equipment.If you have to find another trait that can narrow the gap between the two sides, it is the bravery of the red-eyed Sichuan people who are not afraid of death.

In the afternoon of the battle, the lieutenant general of the Sichuan Army even sent in his own guard company, so there is no such thing as a supervising team.

The Sichuan army on the ground is no longer for any tactics, it is purely a sigh of relief: my brothers are almost dead, so what is the point of me living alone? gossip.

Of the 22 infantry companies that entered the position, four infantry companies were killed, but no one retreated.

Fight with Dog Day!This was the last and only slogan of the soldiers.

The major general of the 433 brigade, who was in charge of the right-wing battlefield, rushed to the central main position. That was the first time Tang Dao saw the major general of the Sichuan army who succeeded the lieutenant general of the Sichuan army as the commander of the 145th division in the records of the war history.

The middle-aged man with a solid figure and a calm face did not shed tears like the chief who was independent in front of the corpse array, but plopped on his knees.

In the posture of a major general, kneeling in front of his ordinary military brothers.

"Brothers! Go away, I, Tong Yi, will come to find you in this life!" The major general of the Sichuan Army raised his head to the sky, hissing and howling.

Like a lone wolf without a companion.

The roar echoed among the blood-stained mountains.

Many years later, after the major general brigade commander who had been promoted to lieutenant general died, his descendants scattered his ashes in this mountain according to his last wish.

General, wish finally come true.

That should be the most peaceful and serene moment in the life of the army.

There is no mausoleum, and the nearly 1400 corpses who died on the spot used the trenches as tombs. The 2000 people who were still alive used soil to fill up the positions they fought for every inch of land during the day. soldiers.

The Japanese army in the distance only heard the sound of picks and shovels breaking the ground from the opposite mountain, thinking that the Chinese were digging trenches overnight again.

Thinking that there will be more trench passages densely like spider webs overnight, I feel chills in my heart, but at the same time, I feel helpless.

But for Li Shoushan and the two Japanese majors, this was enough proof that the group of die-hard Chinese soldiers would continue to resist.

Throughout the night, the Japanese army in the Guangde area exchanged frequent telegrams, and the Japanese navy even promised to send 24 bomber formations.

Since the Chinese position is so strong, the whole mountain should be razed to the ground, and there will be no position that the Great Japanese Empire cannot conquer.

Even the unlucky boy of the 36th Infantry Brigade, who had been tens of kilometers away, received a telegram from Ushijima Mitsuru, ordering them to set off early the next morning to cooperate with the Kunisaki Detachment to conquer Guangde County.

As for the First Brigade of the Jing'an Army, even though it is also in the ranks of the imperial army, it is only at the same level as military dogs, and it is not qualified to frequently appear in the battle reports.

But the first to occupy the position that cannot be attacked for a long time is the military dog.
