Chapter 542(1/2)
Not long after, the main force of the 1st Division arrived in a mighty manner.
Nearly two thousand trucks, hundreds of tanks and hundreds of cannons not only filled the wilderness several kilometers outside the boar's mouth, but also pulled it out of the road for several kilometers.
Seeing that the 1st Search Wing and the 1st Infantry Wing were blocked outside the Wild Boar Grotto, and the 1st Search Wing Wing was severely damaged and almost lost all technical equipment. The commander of the 1st Division, Mio Nakazawa, was angry and half-dead, slapped Imada Yoshio with more than a dozen loud slaps in the face, causing Imada Yoshio's face to swell.
Immediately afterwards, Mifu Nakazawa ordered the 1st Field Artillery Regiment, the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 2nd Cavalry Artillery Regiment to build positions on the spot.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, three artillery positions were constructed.
Nakazawa Sanfu immediately issued an order to prepare for artillery fire in the canyon in the middle of the Wild Boar Gully and the north slope.
After a quarter of an hour of shelling, Mifu Nakazawa ordered the 1st infantry rebel to dispatch three infantry squadrons at the same time to launch an attack on the canyon in the middle and the hillsides on both sides.
The infantry squadron attacking from the middle canyon also has cover for the chariot troops.
In a blink of an eye, the infantry squadron in the middle was rushing into the canyon under the cover of the chariot troops, while the two infantry squadrons on both sides only climbed less than a quarter of the height.
I have to say that climbing up the mountain is quite difficult.
Then the previous scene repeated, hundreds of firepower points suddenly appeared on the east slope on both sides of the canyon, including multiple artillery firepower points.
The Japanese tanks and infantry entering the canyon,
In an instant, he was strangled by dense cross-fire.
In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen tanks in a squadron were destroyed one after another, and nearly two hundred Japanese infantry were also brutally strangled by cross-fire.
Seeing this scene, Mitsuo Nakazawa's face turned green.
Yoshio Imada, whose face swollen as a pig's head, sneered.
Nakazawa Jun, aren’t you very cool? You keep dicking!
Mifu Nakazawa felt his throat dry, but he did not dare to rashly invest his troops in the attack from the middle canyon. This is unquestionable, no matter how many troops the 1st Division put into death, before destroying the side fire points on both sides of the canyon, or before the Eighth Route Army's ammunition was exhausted.
But fortunately, there is a wing attack.
Mio Nakazawa put his hopes on the two squadrons on both wings.
These two squadrons were not popular. They took more than half an hour to finally cross the ridgeline.
This time, the 1st Infantry Regiment learned from the first failure of the offensive and did not foolishly compete for the main peak. Instead, it crossed the ridge from the mountainside and launched an attack on the east slope and west slope in the canyon.
Immediately afterwards, dense gunfire and explosions sounded from the east slope and the west slope in the canyon.
Unfortunately, because he was blocked by the ridge, Mifu Nakazawa could not see the battle situation in the canyon.
If I can’t see it, I can only wait. After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, I finally saw a Japanese soldier returning to the ridgeline, but he didn’t come back and waving the flag and shouting long live.
After rushing to the ridgeline, these dozens of Japanese soldiers did not stop, but crossed the ridgeline and continued to rush down, running down at full speed along the gentle slope of the mountain before. Several Japanese soldiers were anxious and lost their center of gravity and finally rolled down from the hillside. The more embarrassed this posture was, the more embarrassed it would be.
Seeing this, even idiots know what happened.
Obviously, these two infantry squadrons were also defeated.
Before it was over, a team of Eighth Route Army appeared on the ridge line, biting the butt of the Japanese soldiers.
After reaching the ridgeline, the Eighth Route Army raised their rifles and trained their marksmanship as if they were practicing shooting targets.
With continuous gunfire,
Japanese soldiers fell one by one in the north slope.
"Baga!" Nakazawa's third cousin almost sneered.
Nakazawa Mifu immediately ordered the artillery to launch a retaliatory shelling.
Under the cover of artillery, less than fifty Japanese soldiers remained finally fled back.
When one of the lieutenants was taken to Mifu Nakazawa, he seemed to be shocked and seemed to be very frightened, which was an extremely unusual phenomenon.
You must know that this is a veteran who has experienced many battles.
This veteran must have encountered something unusual in the canyon.
At that moment, Miho Nakazawa asked in an extremely gentle tone: "Secretary, what are your name?"
"Hayi." The lieutenant paused and said in a shocked manner, "Teacher Commander, my name is Kameda, Kameda Shouichi."
"It turned out to be Kameda-kun." Nakazawa asked in harmony, "What happened on the other side of the ridge just now? How did your squadron lose?"
"Teacher Commander, I have never seen such a scene before."
Kameda Shouichi raised his head and was clearly looking at Mifu Nakazawa, but his eyes were not focused, as if Mifu Nakazawa was a transparent person and did not exist.
"What scene?" Nakazawa Miuto said sternly.
"It's all bunkers." Kameda Shouichi said in a dream, "There are bunkers in their sight, on the hillside, in the ditches, and even under your feet and behind you, there are bunkers, densely packed, endless, spread throughout the hillside! Division Commander, I have never seen such a scene, never seen, never…"
"We want to hide, but we don't know where to hide."
"We want to fight back, but we don't know where to fight back."
"I have never experienced this war and I don't know how to fight it?"
Kameda Shouichi talked for a long time, and Nakazawa Sanfu and the others finally understood.
After understanding it, Mifu Nakazawa and several brigade commanders, the commander's heart calmed down.
It seems that the fortress in front of them is far more difficult to deal with than they imagined, and it is already dark, so I can only wait until tomorrow to find a way.
...
In Anhua, the headquarters of the Northwest Shanxi Column.
Wang Ye was answering the phone and shouting: "Has the Japanese been defeated? OK, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Ye walked back to the sand table and said to the brigade commander: "Brig Commander, the second division report, the attack of the 28th Division has been repelled, and there is no pressure to kill the Pig Mouth Fortress."
The brigade commander nodded when he heard this, but there was no reaction.
Because this result was long ago as everyone expected.
If the four fortresses that have been carefully built for so long, so much manpower and material resources, can not even be defended for a day, then Wang Ye, the chief of staff, can directly take them out to shoot targets.
Ding Wei on the side asked, "What about the battle? Is it big?"
"The result of the battle is not great." Wang Ye shook his head, "and only killed more than a hundred Japanese soldiers."
"The Japanese are cautious enough." Ding Wei shook his head and said, "For the first attack, only one infantry squadron was invested."
As soon as he finished speaking, the headquarters' phone ringing rang again. Wang Ye immediately walked up and grabbed the microphone: "Hey, this is the column headquarters, where are you?"
"Director Wang? I'm Zhong Sheng."
"Oh, it's Commander Zhong, how is your situation?"
"It's not so good, it's just that the Japanese attacks were repelled."
"You have repelled the 1st Division's two attacks? What are the results?"
"You talk about the results of the battle? There were not many results. I only killed more than a thousand Japanese and destroyed more than twenty tanks. Oh, and destroyed three trucks, that's all."
"There are fewer ones? Commander Zhong, you really have it!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Ye said excitedly to the brigade commander: "Brig Commander, the first battle of the first division was won, killing more than a thousand Japanese, destroying more than twenty tanks and three trucks!"
"Good fight!" The brigade commander waved his fist vigorously.
"Beautiful!" Ding Wei also said, "This is enough for the 1st Division."
Li Yunlong laughed and said, "At this moment, I guess the old devil, Mifu Nakazawa, is crying to Okamura, Brother Okamura, the Eighth Route Army's fortress is too difficult to deal with, our 1st Division cannot chew. I have no tricks anyway, otherwise you can try it? Let's see your skills."
"Get out." The brigade commander kicked Li Yunlong with a smile.
Wang Ye, Ding Wei and Kong Jie laughed loudly when they heard this.
...
No. 11, Tieshizi Hutong, Peiping.
"What does it mean?" Okamura Nishi asked Ashi Sansan with a dark face, "Mifu Nakazawa means that he has no tricks to get the Eighth Route Army's Wild Boar Gate Fortress, right?"
“That’s not true.”
Amo Jingsan said: "Nakaze Jun just said that the price of attacking will be very high."
"Will you stop attacking at a high price?" Okamura Niji said angrily, "Where is no war that doesn't need to be paid? Can you win the war by talking?"
“As a division commander,”
"You actually say such a childish thing!"
After pausing, Okamura Yasuji said again: "I don't believe that how strong can a mere civil structure fortress? It can be stronger than the Lushun Fortress in the past?"
"Even Lushun Fortress was eventually captured by the Imperial Army,"
"Will he not be able to get the wild boar ditch with a heavy equipment division?"
While Okamura Yasuji was getting angry, another communications consultant hurried in.
After reading the telegram sent by the communications officer, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"There is a Moejun." Okamura Yasuji said in a deep voice, "Is it a telegram from the 28th Division?"
