Chapter 232 The Pit of Nanjing Defense War

"Report to the brigade, the troops of at least two infantry regiments of the Japanese army began to attack the main peak position of Jiangjunshan from both sides of the north slope of Jiangjunshan Fortress!"

After receiving the report from the combat staff, Sun Guiming, who had just taken a nap because of fatigue, bounced up from the ammunition box as if he had installed a spring. He took the telescope and quickly ran to the entrance of the tunnel. The south side of Niushou Mountain was almost a cliff with a slope of more than 60 degrees, which was only 1,000 meters away from the main peak of General Mountain. On the right, the heavy machine gun on the main peak of Jiangjun Mountain can completely block the edge, making it impossible for the Japanese army to approach the tunnel under the cliff.

When digging these tunnels, Zhang Xuewu fully considered the problem of covering each other on the south slope of Niushou Mountain Fortress and the north slope of General Mountain Fortress. However, after the north slope of Niushou Mountain Fortress was repeatedly attacked and failed by the Japanese army, the Japanese army adopted many means such as using flamethrowers and poison gas. Fortunately, Good Zhang Xuewu had a lot of experience in digging the tunnel, so the army's attempt did not succeed. In desperation, the army was afraid of the counterattack of the [***] team, so it collapsed the tunnel. Except for making the tunnel feel very stuffy, there was nothing wrong with the rest.

The Japanese army tried several times to attack the tunnel entrance of the southern slope, but was hit by the on-duty back-shooting machine gun at the entrance of the tunnel, the heavy machine gun on the general's mountain fortress and the 75-millimeter mountain cannon. A squadron dispatched by the Japanese army lost more than 200 people at a time, and the huge casualty ratio made the Japanese army not dare to act rashly.

In particular, the Japanese army's attempt to transport the Type 38 150mm howitzer on the top of Niushou Mountain was bombarded by a 12-inch naval gun on the General's mountain fortress, which directly led to a large group of the 16th Division of the Japanese army stationed in the Niushoushan fortress to dig fortifications all the time.

Sun Guiming held a telescope and looked at the dense Japanese army attacking the main peak of Jiangjun Mountain Fortress along the hillside like locusts. Later, the Japanese army's mortar team and the Type 99-type infantry unit were constantly advancing. Sun Guiming knew that these typical offensive tactics of the Japanese army, light and heavy machine gun cover, and the projectile and In advance, the mortar accompanied the cover, and the Type 92 infantry used a direct-fire ruler at the maximum elevation to destroy the exposed fire points in the [***] position. The Japanese infantry almost used the firepower assigned to them to the extreme.

Looking at the gun flames ejected from the General Mountain Fortress, and the rumble of explosions and the column of smoke rising high in the sky, Sun Guiming turned around and said, "Pick out our treasure to me, order the sixth, tenth and eleventh tunnels to push the baby out, and the rest of the troops in the tunnel will have all All the heavy machine guns were pushed to the mouth of the pit, supported the general mountain fortress with fire, and hit the buttocks of the little devils fiercely.

All the troops in the twelve tunnels south of Niushou Mountain Fortress began to mobilize. The Maxine heavy machine gun was dragged straight to the entrance of the tunnel, and the shovel waved by the machine gunners was struggling to set up the machine gun.

Sun Guiming's so-called treasure is actually four Fords 20mm four-barre anti-aircraft guns assigned to him. They have never been useful. No troops entering the tunnel. Sun Guiming is really reluctant to discard or blow up these bombs. The expensive imported goods were disassembled and moved into the tunnel. Unexpectedly It turned out to be of great use today.

Smile, smile! The shooting sound of the Maxin heavy machine gun is mixed with the shooting sound of the Fords 20mm four-barre anti-aircraft gun in Sweden. Some tunnels even removed the German MG34 general-purpose machine gun. The MG34 is a famous cloth tearing machine, which is famous for its fast rate of fire.

Under the yardstick shooting, the dense rain poured on the back of the attacking General Mountain Fortress. The attacking Japanese army was suddenly shot from the rear. After a panic, a large number of Japanese soldiers were shot and rolled down the hillside, and were hit by 7.92 mm bullets. It's happy, because if you are hit by a 20mm 20mm ammunition with a fixed high-altitude explosion fuse, then what is waiting for it will be torn apart.

The bullets fired by heavy machine guns in the sky and the ammunition scattered by the Fords four-batch anti-aircraft gun in Sweden formed black explosive smoke clusters. The prefabricated fragments of the Swedish-made 20mm anti-aircraft gun are completely irregular hexagonal rows, which are specially designed to deal with the passing of the ground and air. The enemy aircraft can't be described as cruel to deal with people.

The Japanese officers and soldiers who were hit by prefabricated fragments screamed and fell down the steep hillside. If they still have a breath, the Japanese army's rescuers will also find that the first aid kits and hemostatic drugs can't stop the compound broken wound at all. The wounded can only bleed and struggle painfully to death, and the wounded are on the verge of death. Calling and moaning are almost a blow to the morale of the Japanese army.

The ills of the rigid tactical command form of the Japanese army were exposed at this moment. On the issue of retreat and non-retreat, the two regiments of the Japanese army organized firepower to counterattack the [***] firepower points on the Niushou Mountain Fortress. On the one hand, they also organized troops to attack the main peak of the General Mountain Fortress and asked their respective brigade headquarters.

Attacking the north slope of the General Mountain Fortress will be hit by the firepower of [***] that Niushou Mountain retreats into the mouse hole, which is a far beyond my expectation.

Under the fierce fire attack of both sides of the Chinese defenders, the Japanese army troops attacking the north slope of Jiangjunshan Fortress were heavy casualties. A large number of Japanese officers and soldiers fell on the hillside, and the bodies rolled down. The living Japanese officers and soldiers were at a loss and looked at each other. They did not know whether to retreat or organize a counterattack, or follow Continuing to attack the Jiangjunshan Fortress, when the bodies of the soldiers of the Japanese army were almost covered the north slope of the Jiangjunshan Fortress, the 30th Infantry Regiment of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army received an order to retreat.

Since the 16th Division has retreated, there is no reason for the troops of the 11th Division to resist. At least they retreated behind it. The retreat of the troops of the Japanese army attacking the north slope of the Jiangjun Mountain Fortress made the Japanese army's troops attacking the south slope suffer a fierce and abnormal fire. The Japanese army left hundreds on the south slope. The body fled in embarrassment.

If the defeat of the Nanpo attack was entirely the responsibility of the 11th Division, when the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, Shanshi Zongwu, the head of the division, received the casualties of the 12th Regiment of the North Slope Infantry, was completely furious like a crazy lion and called the headquarters of Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace. When asked why his troops were still fiercely shot in [***] in Niushou Mountain when attacking the north slope of the General Mountain Fortress.

[***] The sudden fierce firepower caused nearly 2,000 casualties in the 12th Infantry Regiment belonging to the 11th Division. It can be said that the main force of the 12th Infantry Regiment was destroyed, and only one attack damaged the 12th Infantry Regiment, an elite infantry. Team, how can this not make Yamamuro Munetake and his subordinate brigade commander Namanu Tanijiro not be annoyed?

After receiving the angry complaint from Shanshi Zongwu, Chaoxiang Palace was immediately puzzled. The imperial flag flying on Niushou Mountain was indeed true, and it was blown up by [***] fire several times in a row, and it was re-established. It is said that the 16th Division suffered nearly 100 casualties in order to set up the flag. This can prove that the Emperor [***] team has indeed occupied the main peak position of Niushou Mountain Fortress, so where did the firepower of [***] come from?

With countless questions, Hatohiko Asamiya decided to go to the front line regardless of dissuasion to see what was going on in this Niushoushan fortress. Hatohiko believed that even if I had ten guts, I would not dare to joke about the war situation and the overall morale of the dispatched army, otherwise it would be the middle. I have lived enough on the island.

Just as Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace rushed to the front-line position of Niushou Mountain to inspect, the battle for the restoration position of the whole city of Nanjing entered the most intense and tragic stage.

The morale of the Japanese army and the Chinese defenders, who vowed to defend the capital of the Republic of China to the death, launched the most tragic bloody battle of this century.

After the army on the front line of Qixia Mountain failed to release poison gas and was hit head-on by the fifth and sixth brigades of the teaching brigade, they carried out the so-called special bomb attack again. The officers and soldiers of the teaching brigade who lacked gas masks covered their noses with urine-soaked hand towels and squatted in the trench to minimize the number and amount of breathing, not much intact prevention. The gas masks are given to command officers and firefighters.

In the fierce battle, the gas mask made of rubber is quite fragile. Even after being installed in the barrel, its bumps cannot be completely avoided. If the storage cylinder is seriously damaged or the gas mask body is slightly scratched, it may lead to the effectiveness of the gas mask, so [* **] The team's gas masks are getting less and less.

When the Japanese soldiers with the anti-gas mask of the Type-two self-suction filter tank rushed up with a muffled howling, the light and heavy machine gun shooters on the garrison's position carried out continuous shooting aimlessly in the thick smoke, and the screams of the officers and soldiers were constantly heard in the thick fog of the poison gas bombs.

The poison gas fired intensively by the Japanese army was as dense as a fog and was not easy to disperse. With the rapid progress of the poison gas, the Japanese soldiers easily captured the peripheral warning positions. When they entered the main position, the division of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army was a lieutenant general of the state.

He obtained the qualification of Zhoulibing as the commander of the Japanese military division. He was still slightly dissatisfied with his command of the 13th Division to participate in the war, because the collection place of the 13th Division is also Sendai. It was set up with the left-behind office of the 2nd Division of Sendai to supplement non-commissioned officers and officers. It can be said that the elite generals of the 2nd Division. They have already gone to Manchukuo.

Naturally, the remaining personnel in the left-behind place are self-evident. Strictly speaking, although the 13th Division is the A Division, it is at best the standard of the B Division in terms of combat effectiveness.

A real warrior needs a sharp blade! Huozhou Libing thought that he was definitely a warrior, and the 13th Division was indeed not his ideal blade.
