Chapter 1348 Lion Gate

This time, in order to take the initiative in the decisive battle in the near future, Ouyang Yun was determined to eliminate Okamura Ningji, the leader of the invasion of China, and he brought out all the best and basically all kinds of new equipment, not to mention those in Southwest Jiangxi. Some ordinary people were inexplicably surprised to see it, and even some agents affiliated with Xue Yue and the Chongqing Military Command and Central Command could not help but secretly startled when they saw it.Many people asked themselves: "Is this our Chinese army?" Southwest Jiangxi naturally hid the Japanese spies. When they saw this scene, they were more shocked than the Chinese spies.The army card is nothing more than that, tanks, self-propelled artillery, and armored vehicles are all organized, which makes these little Japanese tremble with fear, wondering why the cadet army has assembled such a big battle.

Ouyang Yun knew that there must be all kinds of spies hidden in Southwest Jiangxi, but he was not worried that these spies might leak troops whereabouts.

Kanji Shigetaro hadn't realized that his unit was already in the calculation of the Xuebing Army. It happened that the two brigades of Feng Lanshan's second division had arrived at the Lion's Gate. To maintain the strength advantage over the Lion Gate defenders, they just sent the crippled 213th Regiment back to Gao'an, and paid special attention to Masao Iida, letting him rest in Gao'an with peace of mind, and by the way, monitor the movement of the national army in the direction of Changsha.

Neji Okamura was sure that Xue Yue would not dare to disobey the will of Chongqing, and would honestly give up the counterattack against Jiangxi, but Shigetaro Gan was still not at ease.The total number of Iidabe who was beaten and disabled was less than a brigade, which could just be used to perform such insignificant but essential tasks.

Frontal offensive and defensive battles, with or without artillery support, are quite different.In the battle of Nanjin Kiln, the Japanese army only had two more mountain cannons and a few machine cannons, which almost became the key factor in determining the outcome of the battle.Now, suddenly there is a mountain artillery unit under the Lions Gate, and Zhang Quanyou's department immediately feels unprecedented pressure.

After three rounds of bombardment, Masao Iida's remnants of the 213th Regiment launched three attacks, and the Changning Regiment was wiped out. More than 600 men, including more than 400 "old bandits" who Chu Tiange relied on as the treasure of the town army, after the third defeat of the 213th Regiment, there were only seven left, and if it weren't for Dai Dama and Huyanbao If you see the opportunity quickly and lead your troops to support in time, then the position on the top of Lion Gate Mountain will be lost.

Both Zhang Quanyou and Chang Ning were injured, and Chang Ning was shot in the chest and passed out directly.

With the support of the 213rd Shanpao Wing, the 33th Regiment disabled the Changning Regiment, and also reduced its staff by 30.00%.But that's the case, Shigetaro Gansu did not intend to replace the attacking troops.And Iida Masao himself also felt that if he continued to fight like this, then with the only remaining brigade in his hand, it is not hopeless to conquer Lions Gate-you know, in the afternoon, more than a thousand people from the Changning Regiment will be killed. One and a half teams of them.On a before-and-after comparison, the 213th seems to have come a long way.

"Keep working hard! The next wave of attack must take the top of the mountain in one fell swoop!" said Iida during the mobilization before the battle.

At the same time, Dai Dama and Hu Yanbao were also discussing countermeasures.The little devil's artillery fire is sharp, and there is no corresponding suppressive firepower on the side, so even if the second division reinforcements come up, it will be a passive and beaten situation, and the casualties will definitely not be small.The soil layer on the top of Lion Gate Mountain was thin, and it was impossible to dig anti-gun holes. They didn't know the main reason why the headquarters asked them to snipe the 33rd Division in the nephews. They thought it was just a routine defensive battle, so they discussed whether to let it pass Lion's Gate, build a line of defense on the flat ground between Lion's Gate and Jian's house.Between Shizimen and Jianjia is a plain about two kilometers wide. Because it is made of mud, it is very convenient to dig anti-blasting holes.

At this moment, the sound of firing cannons from the foot of the mountain sounded again, and balls of fire flew over from four kilometers away.

Dai Dama and Hu Yanbao looked at each other, and the former said: "Then hurry up!" But at this moment, an "old bandit" behind them shouted in surprise: "Reinforcement, our reinforcement!"

The two turned their heads to look after the sound, only to see a long dragon meandering from the direction of Jianjia Village.Dai Dama said: "Since the second division has arrived, we'd better wait for Master Feng to come up and ask him to make up his mind!"

Fortunately, Feng Lanshan led his troops to arrive in time, otherwise, once Dai Dama and Hu Yanbao gave up on Lion Gate, Ouyang Yun's plan to encircle and wipe out the 33rd Division would be ruined.

Feng Lanshan had already learned from Chu Tiange the meaning of guarding the Lion Gate, so when he heard Dai Dama and Hu Yanbao's proposal, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.He said to Dai and Huyan, "Thank you for thinking it out. The Lion Gate must not be lost. Once the Japanese army breaks through the Lion Gate, even if we can hold the line of Jianjia Village, if the Japanese army goes to Xigang Village and then goes to Dali Tangcun, what shall we do?"

Dai Dama: "The Japanese army should not take a detour if they want to attack Nanchang!"

"Confused, what if the Japanese army didn't attack Nanchang but just wanted to run away?"

"Will the Japanese army want to run away?" Dai Dama and Hu Yanbao were confused.

At this time, the artillery shells fired by the Japanese army had already exploded on the top of Lions Gate Mountain and the east side of the mountain.Many students from the first division, the third brigade, the second regiment and the third regiment were affected by the explosion or even hit directly, and the screams rang out.

Feng Lanshan: "Let's organize the troops to hide first! Although the Japanese artillery fire is sharp, if they think they want to defeat us with artillery alone, they are very wrong! The Lion Gate is so big, and it is enough to station one regiment at a time. You take the lead to go down to rest and let my people come."

Dai Dama: "Mr. Feng, we can still hold on!"

Feng Lanshan looked at the situation on the top of the mountain through the flash of the explosion, and said, "Okay, remember to keep in touch, and call for help immediately if you are in danger!"

"Yes!"

Dai Dama and Hu Yanbao exchanged a few words. In the end, the latter led the third regiment of students to brave the artillery fire and followed Feng Lanshan to the halfway up the mountain. When Zhang Quanyou and Chang Ning led the first regiment to fight on the top of the mountain, the second regiment The trainees of the Hesan Regiment were not idle either. They built many trenches and crude artillery holes on the mountainside.These trenches and anti-battery holes are worthless against attacks from the top of the mountain, but as long as the top of the mountain is still in their own hands, it is an excellent place to hide soldiers.

The second and third regiments each lost about one company in the battle just now.To be on the safe side, Feng Lanshan asked Ge Zhengshu of the Fourth Brigade to call up two regiments in case of emergencies.

The Japanese army at the foot of the mountain did not know that reinforcements from the Xuebing Army had arrived on the other side of the mountain, so Masao Iida's round of attack failed again. The only remaining brigade of the 213th Wing, although Dai Dama's second regiment was worn out by more than one battalion after this round of attack, they also lost the strength to attack again.
