Age of Rebirth

The rain-like cloud covering their heads suddenly thinned out, and the Japanese soldiers hiding under the steep slope felt relieved. Since the Chinese soldiers stopped shooting, there must be something wrong with the medicine. This is a good opportunity. Having to continue charging, a Japanese army captain jumped out, pointed his sword at Xiyun Peak, and shouted: "Give me the killing opportunity!"

As soon as the words fell, his pupils shrank sharply because of fear, and from the top of his head, several small black dots fell, with faint shining sparks, like elves dancing heartily in the dark night, did the Japanese army captain know that this was fatal Things, counting grenades are falling down, the next sentence, he immediately shouted: "The work of the Chinese soldiers' hand cannons, quickly take cover."

The No.19 Group Army Independent Brigade put two regiments of troops on the first line of Xiyunfeng. Thousands of "squeaking" and smoking grenades were smashed down, the flames were shining, and the pieces flew horizontally , The Japanese soldiers gathered at the bottom of the steep slope can avoid the bullets shot from above their heads, but they cannot avoid the grenades.

Screaming again and again, flesh and blood flying, broken pieces, flying, whistling, spinning and cutting into the body of the Japanese soldier. Looking from a distance, a dazzling fire suddenly burst out on the mountainside of Xiyun Peak, and immediately, One after another, the sound of explosions echoed in the night. The grenades thrown by the soldiers of the Central Army who were relatively weak did not fall on the target, but the explosions were crushed stones, which became the killing weapons of the Japanese soldiers.

Chi Zifeng saw the way, but this voice shouted: "All brothers, throw the grenades two or three seconds later, and keep them all exploding on the top of the little devil's head, so that the **** has no place to hide," The grenades that exploded in the air became a nightmare for Japanese soldiers.The piece easily pierced through the helmet and blew up the Japanese soldiers' heads into rotten watermelons. Chi Zifeng used more than 2 hand grenades to turn the mountainside of Xiyun Peak into a bloody slaughterhouse for Japanese soldiers. [

Few of the Japanese soldiers who took part in the first attack wave are still alive, Japanese soldiers hiding behind.Seeing something bad, he turned around and ran back.He became the living target of the soldiers of the Independent Brigade again. After throwing the grenade, he took up his gun again, kicking the buttocks of the retreating Japanese soldiers, and shooting fiercely.In less than an hour, there were more than [-] Japanese soldiers from the two regiments that participated in the attack on Xiyun Peak, but only a thousand or so soldiers escaped alive.

Yamashita Fufumi, who has been paying attention to the battlefield, witnessed the whole process, and put down his binoculars dejectedly.He was so distressed that he almost fainted. It's not that he has never seen a big scene of blood flying everywhere, but he charged once in a small Xiyunfeng position.Let more than 4000 brave imperial soldiers die. Such a scene shocked all Japanese officers who paid attention to the battle.

Yamashita Fengwen didn't understand. The one-and-a-half-hour sudden shelling, according to the normal effect, the Xiyunfeng position was the Chinese government soldiers, and the casualties should be more than half, but the firepower just now was so intensive.The Chinese soldiers did not seem to have been killed at all. Why is this so?Less than an hour of fighting.A main brigade was disabled alive.

The Japanese army left mutilated corpses all over the place and retreated like a tide.The follow-up attacking troops did not dare to continue attacking at all, Chi Zifeng laughed loudly, "Fuck it, it's so fucking good, pass the order, the little devils should bombard, hide in the bomb hole for me, let's not suffer such immediate losses. "

As soon as Chi Zifeng returned to the brigade headquarters, the retaliatory shelling by the Japanese army began immediately. The phone on the cannon box rang suddenly, and Chi Zifeng picked up the phone, "Are you Chi Zifeng?" Commander Guo Huawen's voice immediately He rushed into his ears, "Report Commander, I am Chi Zifeng. I was in the forward position just now. I was so happy. I guess I killed four or five thousand little devils." shouted loudly.

Guo Huawen on the other end of the phone was furious and yelled, "Chi Zifeng, you bastard, as the brigade commander, you are responsible for the command task of Xiyun Peak, and you actually went to the front to participate in the battle. Okay, don't you want to fight? Well, I'll dismiss you and become the platoon leader." Chi Zifeng was taken aback, and quickly said, "Commander, don't be an example, just this time, isn't it itchy hands?"

Guo Huawen was still angry, and then said: "Just this time, by the way, how about the casualties of the troops, I heard that the Japanese cannons fired fiercely in the city." Chi Zifeng replied: "Don't worry, Commander, first This bombardment had less than 200 casualties, thanks to a squad leader named Jin Baozhu, the casualties of this bombardment are not yet known, and I will report to you later.”

Guo Huawen put down the phone. The situation of Xiyunfeng made him full of confidence in whether he could hold Duyun. The Japanese army’s fierce bombardment resulted in less than 200 casualties, which was far beyond his expectations. Xiyunfeng was like an iron gate If the Japanese army does not capture Xiyun Peak, they will not be able to get close to Duyun City. Unless they use large-caliber and long-range artillery to bombard the city, the killing effect on the troops will be greatly reduced. .

The sound of guns and artillery in the direction of Xiyunfeng rang almost all night. By [-] o'clock in the morning, the Independent Brigade had repelled four Japanese brigade-scale charges. Yamashita had to order the troops to stop the attack. Unwilling, Nai, all the cannons of the supply troops were exhausted during the four attacks, and if he fought again, he would have to use the soldiers' bodies to block the soldiers.

Xiyun Peak fell silent. The corpses of Japanese soldiers covered the mountainside. This was a line of death. As long as the Japanese soldiers attacked here, it seemed that they were soldiers of the Central Army who came out of the ground, and they would be seriously injured. Feng Wen sucked in a breath of air like a toothache. The Ninth Division in charge of the main attack could hardly find a complete regiment, leaving behind thousands of soldiers' corpses, and could not even climb the halfway up the mountain of Xiyun Peak. go up.

If there are enough guns, Yamashita Fengwen will never take into account the casualties of the soldiers, and will continue to attack without giving the Chinese government army a chance to breathe until they take this damn mountain. Waiting, waiting for the cannon to be sent up from the rear, he vowed to use the cannon to blow up the mountain that had swallowed the lives of thousands of imperial soldiers.

Yamashita Fengwen's face was ugly, and he turned to Koji Shinno, the head of the military intelligence headquarters behind him, and said, "Mr. Shinno, I want to know that we are currently in the Chinese army. What is the number and the name of the commander?" Koji Shinno looked carefully. His Excellency the Commander looked like a dead man.

Knowing that the commander who was angry was not easy to serve, he replied cautiously: "According to the information we have, it is the No. 19 Army of the Chinese Government Army that is defending Duyun City. The commander is Guo Huawen, with the rank of lieutenant general. It is the Chinese army that is defending Xiyunfeng, and there is no detailed information in front of it."

Yamashita Fengwen snorted coldly, stared at Koji Shinno with unkind eyes, and said in a cold tone: "I want to know that it is the Chinese army that caused losses to the Imperial Army. The details of his commander, Once Duyun City is captured, I will cut off his head with my own hands, and pay homage to the imperial soldiers who are broken."

Shinno Koji respectfully agreed, and hurriedly took the opportunity to slip away. Just now, Yamashita Hokumi's glance was like a poisonous snake, which made Shinno's heart jump violently. Your Excellency, Commander, is in a bad mood recently. On the muzzle of the gun, knowing that he could not see Fufumi Yamashita, Shinno heaved a sigh of relief and found that his shirt was soaked through.

The morning of the end of June and the beginning of July in southern Guizhou was originally a bright and beautiful season. Because of the dense jungle, Xiyun Peak was even more like a dream. The lingering smell of gunpowder smoke and the strong smell of blood, the entire main position of Xiyun Peak can hardly be seen from its original appearance. There is a piece of scorched earth everywhere. The originally lush trees have been torn into pieces by cannons. Withered and yellow like wildfire.

Chi Zifeng carefully inspected the trenches. In fact, there are no trenches, just stepping on the vain scorched earth, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The fierce Japanese bombardment changed the original terrain of Xiyun Peak. And the landform, repelled the Japanese army four times in a row, the independent brigade also suffered more than 2000 casualties, many anti-bomb holes were blown down, and the brothers were suffocated to death inside.

Fortunately, there are these anti-gun holes, otherwise, even if the independent brigade is completely exhausted, it will not be able to hold its position. This is most of the night, and Chi Zifeng has seen the ferocity of the Japanese soldiers. His first order was to strengthen and deepen the anti-blasting holes on the basis of the original ones. This is a life-saving thing and cannot be sloppy.

At noon, the Japanese army still did not attack. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chi Zifeng sneaked into Duyun City along the traffic trench, and rushed directly to the headquarters of the group army. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the commander Guo Huawen talking with a strange colonel. He was very young, wearing a military uniform different from his own, "Report to the commander, Chi Zifeng, the commander of the Independent Brigade, is here to report, please give instructions to the commander!" Chi Zifeng didn't care who this strange colonel was, he only had Guo Huawen in his eyes one person. [

Guo Huawen turned around and said with a little surprise: "Zifeng, just as I was about to call you, you came here. Sit down quickly and let me introduce you. This is the liaison officer sent by Vice Chairman Tang, Colonel Chutian. He is a fierce general of our group army, Major General Chi Zifeng, the commander of the independent brigade, is his unit, defending on West Cloud Peak."

According to the rules, Chu Tian saluted Chi Zifeng first, and said: "Brigade Commander Chi, Commander Guo has mentioned you a lot. With the strength of a brigade, more than [-] Japanese soldiers were beaten to death, and they failed to climb the West Cloud Peak. In half a step, Brigadier Chi is worthy of the praise of a strong general," Chi Zifeng's eyes were fixed, that Vice Chairman Tang had a great reputation, and it was said that even Chairman Jiang was a little afraid of him.

What did he come to the group army for?Chi Zifeng couldn't help but look at Chu Tian a few more times.
