Chapter 107: The Sorrow Groove and Tears

The right wing of the position along the Majiagou side ridge is now filled with rolling smoke. More than twenty large pits that are directly nearly five meters have almost formed a line. The corpses and earth and stones that have been violently exploded and collapsed into the sky are now falling within a few kilometers. Under the light of the flares' defeat, the right wing wing's position is as quiet as if it is dead.

Many Chinese soldiers on the front-line positions at the moment had blood flowed out of their ears, and some were even shocked to the point of being confused. The second and third-line positions were better. Zhao Xinyu, who was in the front-line command post, was also overturned to the ground by the explosion of the air waves hundreds of meters away, following the observation port.

The log at the observation mouth was broken and collapsed by the flying iron ball. The scattered logs smashed the cannon mirror to the ground, and the command center was in chaos.

This is the power of the mine explosion? Zhao Xinyu was a little chilled, and a combat staff member with lingering fears on the side sighed: "Room! This thing is used to blow up those big battleships worth tens of thousands of tons. Isn't it powerful? Besides, we have added so many explosives and iron balls at each blasting point!"

As the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the Japanese army on the left wing position suddenly suffered heavy casualties under the fierce firepower of the defenders. The violent explosion just now also affected the Japanese army on the left wing position. If it was hit by a splashed iron ball, it would almost be like amputation. The two infantry squadrons of the Japanese attacking left wing disappeared into the smoke. The silent and weird right wing position allowed the two infantry brigades of the 10th Division to be responsible for the main attack to quickly retreat.

The commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, Masaemon, was standing in front of the artillery mirror at this moment, staring at the location where the violent explosion had just occurred with the pale light of the flare. All the second brigades of the 13th Infantry Regiment belonging to the 11th Brigade were shrouded in. As the 6th Division of the 11th Division of the 11th Division used its main force, the 11th Infantry Brigade, as soon as it took action, Matsuda Kozo Matsuda devoted himself to the two infantry brigades of the 13th Infantry Regiment, the main attacking force.

After the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the subsequent Japanese offensive troops walked high and low on the pothole ground. From time to time, some people fell and their faces were full of stickyness?

As the flares were launched, the officers and soldiers of the second echelon of the Japanese army were stunned and even trembled. Most of the more than 2,100 officers and soldiers from the two reinforcement brigades turned into bloody corpses, to be precise, corpses, broken weapons, internal organs, pulled intestines, broken limbs and broken arms, naked charred corpses, and blood-stirred corpses, and broken heads flowed out of blood-stirred brains, which were soon frozen in the cold.

The attacking Japanese troops were urging by the officers and began to advance forward in fear. The huge explosion in the direction of Majiagou also made Xi Yiichi, who was commanding the attack on Seng Guanfeng, look at him.

Upon learning about the phone number of the master, Zhao Xinyu hurried back, picked up the phone and said, "Hey! Is it a master's phone number? I am Zhao Xinyu! I gave Japan a big dinner, and twenty-eight big fried spots and twenty-six! Japan suddenly covered at least three or four thousand people!"

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Xuewu heard Zhao Xinyu's report and then put his heart back in his stomach. Zhang Xuewu didn't care where Zhao Xinyu came from where the explosives and blasting operations came from. What he was concerned about was who was bombed. Now that he figured it out, it would be relieved that it was the Japanese. Zhang Xuewu knew very well that based on the capacity of the frontier positions on the side ridge of Majiagou, the strength of the two Japanese reinforcement brigades could be spread out at one time. Zhao Xinyu bombed the right wing position of the 6th Division of the Japanese army. Then, based on the habit of placing troops in the attack and the depth distance calculation, the strength of a Japanese army should be reimbursed. However, Zhang Xuewu did not point it out. At this moment, the war was imminent, and morale should be boosted rather than discharged.

However, Zhang Xuewu didn't know that Zhao Xinyu had added a lot of small iron balls. The small iron balls shot out by the explosion shock wave were like the principle of steel ball grenades. The biggest killing of the Japanese army was not the explosion itself and the shock wave, but these small iron balls. Finally, Zhang Xuewu reminded Zhao Xinyu to make a big move next time and report to the division headquarters in advance. The division headquarters is different from Peking, and there are no Japanese spies.

The Japanese army on the front line of Majiagou side ridge was only half an hour after being bombed. Compared with the head-on blows suffered by the 6th Division, Hirose Shousuke, as a friendly army, could not see any sadness on his face. Instead, he claimed that it was cold and he drank a glass of soju to get warmth.

In fact, the pleasure in Hirose Suzusuke's heart was simply indescribable. Masae Eemon, who was arrogant in front of him like his boss, also tasted the power of the Chinese army? The Kumamoto Division, known as the elite, did not even find out that something was buried in front of his position? At least two of them were taken away by the three squadrons. Although he also lost two squadrons, the losses of the 10th Division were insignificant compared to the losses of the 6th Division. At the same time, Hirose Suzusuke was also glad that the Chinese army had not secretly buried explosives before his position. However, what puzzled Hirose Suzusuke was exactly what had such great power and lethality? This was really puzzling.

This huge explosion suddenly made the Japanese army's morale lose its edge and lose the opportunity to attack. The side ridge of Majiagou was under the fierce attack of the Japanese army. The 14th Division of the Japanese army in the direction of the Hugou was severely damaged, but seven reinforced infantry brigades had been dispatched to restrain the attack in turn. The Hugou had become the sad ditch of the 14th Division, and the Tears Ridge.

The 14th Japanese Division has dropped 5,600 corpses along the Tiger Gow, of which more than 3,000 people were killed in attacking the Chinese defenders' positions, and more than 2,000 people were killed in counterattacks in front of the Chinese army. More than 400 people who had previously supported the attack on Seng Guanfeng were killed in battle. The Chinese army's air strikes, the non-combat troops caused by the cold, naturally reduced the number of troops in non-combats. Including more than 3,000 minor and serious wounded soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the 14th Division was sharply reduced, and the combat soldiers of the entire division were less than 1,000!

So when attacking the Hugou to restrain the attack, Naoki Matsuki seemed very conservative. After all, he was the leading role of the Eighth Division and the Sixth Division. Even if he captured Chengde, he was not as good as Naoki Matsuki. Moreover, Naoki Matsuki was as angry as Hirose Shousuke. They had been attacking for several days, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, but the Chinese defenders who defended Chengde were also seriously injured and killed? The Sixth and Eighth Divisions were equipped with heavy artillery brigades and chariot troops to take on the main attack as soon as they came up. This was clearly the protection and bias of the headquarters.
