Chapter 105 Kunming Deadly Battle (3)
In the early morning of October 15, the main force of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, the headquarters of the 70th Brigade, the tenth Heavy Artillery and the 14th Mountain Artillery Corps, completed all the deployment. The 10th Heavy Artillery Corps began to launch artillery attacks on Taiping Mountain at 3 a.m.
Before the 18th Division and 32nd Division were deployed, Kanda Masato launched a fierce attack on the key points of barrier defense in Kunming, with a preconceived attitude.
The actions of Kanda Masato angered the commander of the 18th Division, Shintanaka Ichi, and the commander of the 32nd Division, Idea Ichizo. Everyone knew that the Kunming defenders were weak at this moment and could not withstand the fierce attacks of three divisions. Therefore, the three division commanders had privately reached a gentleman agreement. Without violating the deployment of the base camp, the three divisions had to assist and support each other! The first achievements of the capture of Kunming were given to the 6th Division, and the spoils seized after the war were distributed equally by the three divisions.
However, the attack of the 6th Division destroyed the agreement. Shintanaka Ichi and Ideto Tetsuzo had no other choice but to be angry and scolded Kanda Masato for not being credible.
At 5 a.m. on October 15, the sky was gloomy and dark clouds filled the sky. The Japanese artillery fire that lasted for nearly two hours began to extend. Sharp sounds began to sound from the main position of Taiping Mountain and the two wing positions. A machine gun was dragged from the bunker to the excavated shooting bunker. The bullet chain of the yellow heavy machine gun emitted a flash of cold light.
After the artillery fire was extended, Yamaguchi's brigade quickly formed a scattered line and began to move towards the main peak position. Yamaguchi Hiroichi Jung-san put the command knife on his shoulder, and waved forward from time to time and shouted loudly!
As a test attack, the Yamaguchi brigade pulled the scattered soldiers very wide, and the troops of a brigade almost covered the entire line of the main peak position of Taiping Mountain.
Liang Chao in the main peak bunker repeatedly observed the sparse attacking formation of the Japanese army through the submerged artillery mirror, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Tuan, who was standing by, turned the cannon mirror and observed it, suddenly changed his expression and said hurriedly: "Teacher Liang, order the main supporting firepower points of the frontier positions not to shoot and standby!"
Liang Chao asked with suspicion: "Is there any problem with Chief Xu?"
Xu Tuan didn't care about being polite at this moment, pointed at Yamashita and said sternly: "This is the Japanese who are conducting firepower tests, and immediately withdraw the troops on the surface of the position back to the tunnel! It's fast, it's too late!"
Liang Chao quickly picked up the phone and was about to get to the phone from the 30th Regiment of Frontier. Suddenly, the sound of gunfire like a storm sounded. Dozens of Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground at almost the same time. Under the fire snakes of defenders' machine guns, the Japanese army began to retreat in panic.
Huang Rende, the commander of the 30th Regiment of the temporary 10th Division, excitedly said to Liang Chao on the phone: "We have repelled the attack of the Japanese!
"Bastard! Can't you see that this is the Japanese temptation? Immediately, the troops on the surface of the position are retreating! Do you want to understand quickly?" Liang Chao threw the phone back to the base with a snap. He was scolded without any prelude. Huang Rende put down the phone with a dark face. He smiled and waited to the side as the deputy regiment and several staff officers said angrily: "Mom. Walk on the night road and step on the smelly dog shit. I'm unlucky! Order the troops on the position to retreat!"
At this moment, the frontier positions of the 30th Regiment suddenly fell into a sea of fire. The Japanese heavy artillery gang used dense artillery fire to launch three rounds of rapid fire on the defending positions. The Houshan artillery troops used single artillery and heavy machine guns to carry out direct aiming to destroy the firepower points and bunkers of the Chinese defending areas exposed in the previously exposed areas.
After the Japanese army stopped shelling, the smoke and dust from the ground produced by the explosion dissipated for a long time. The frontier positions of the 1st Battalion of the 30th Regiment were silent. No moving figures were seen except for the craters and broken limbs.
It was only less than two hours. It was expected to hold on for five to eight days. A reorganized reinforcement camp was deployed and the old Pokou position was lost. The 30th Regiment of the 10th Division, the temporary organization of the defense site, launched three consecutive counterattacks. Finally, it ended because of the Japanese artillery blockade and heavy casualties.
After learning that the old Pokou position had fallen, Song Yuhang risked the Japanese plane to come directly to Liang Chao's command center at any time. When Huang Rende, the commander of the 30th regiment tied up, was pushed in, Song Yuhang glanced at Huang Rende and sighed slightly, and ordered the guards to untie the rope, giving Huang Rende a chance to make meritorious service.
For a temporary soldier over fifty years old, with wrinkled and pale faces, transformed from the mayor to the colonel commander, Song Yuhang was satisfied that Huang Rende was not scared by the Japanese cannons and fled in the face, and was able to launch several counterattacks against the Japanese army to try to regain the lost position. In his heart, Song Yuhang believed that Huang Rende was hundreds of times stronger than those civil war experts and foreign war laymen, at least he was a man with passion.
The fortifications at the position between the old Pokou have been completely destroyed by Japanese artillery fire. Song Yuhang terminated the night attack planned by Liang Chao. He realized from the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army, so he ordered the 30th Regiment to shrink the defense front to highlight the positions on both sides. Although this defense practice increases the difficulty of defense on both wings, if the Japanese force attacks the main peak position, it will be killed by the side fire of the extended positions on both sides.
The Japanese army that captured the Laopokou position did not stop, but concentrated a gang to launch a concentrated attack on the main position of the 30th Regiment located halfway up the mountain.
The dense Japanese army rushed to the main position of the 30th Regiment like locusts. Due to the steep mountains, the Japanese attacking troops were in a very unfavorable upside-down position. At the forefront of the Japanese army, more than 200 Japanese non-commissioned officers took off their shirts and rushed to the front with bayonets. The defenders used light machine guns to organize mobile firepower to concentrate on shooting the Japanese suicide squad.
Blood was splattering freely, and the Japanese soldiers who were shot fell on the hillside. From time to time, the bodies would cause chaos. The Japanese suicide squadrons maintained a firm pace, completely ignored their lives, and lined up in a scattered formation to face the bullets fired by the Chinese soldiers. Under the demonstration and leadership of the suicide squadrons, although the Japanese soldiers fell in pieces under the rain of bullets from the Chinese soldiers, the Japanese army still successfully entered a distance of fifty meters from the defending positions.
Within a distance of 50 meters, the Japanese army forcibly launched a second assault and all ended in failure. Then the Japanese army began to use the terrain to entangle with the Chinese defenders. Many Japanese soldiers piled up their companions' bodies in diameter as bunkers and chest walls. The Japanese grenade mortars intersected with the grenades thrown by the defenders in the air.
Chinese soldiers were constantly hit in the trenches defended by the 30th Regiment. The Japanese mountain cannons and grenade launchers caused a large number of casualties to Chinese soldiers. In the trenches where flesh and shrapnel were flying across, medical soldiers often fell to the ground while dragging the wounded.
Huang Rende waved the Situ Deng submachine gun in his hand and shouted loudly, brothers and brothers to hold on! Hold on to me!
Faced with the fierce battle, Huang Rende's legs began to tremble, but when he thought of Song Yuhang's words, either died in front of the formation or was killed by military law, he immediately became energetic again.
Suddenly, a sharp roar approached, and Huang Rende felt that he was hit hard by something. He was dug out of the soil by several staff officers and then realized that the deputy who was crawling on him was already bloody and blurred.
"Dezi! Medical Soldier! Where did I die when the medical Soldier?" Huang Rende shook his broken body, which had been stained with blood, desperately!
Huang Rende, who was pulled to the bunker by a confidential staff officer, then he saw the body of the medical soldier who was dead in the trenches. One of the girls was still looking at the sky with big unwilling eyes.
Huang Rende threw himself into the police force and asked for a staff officer. He shouted at a lieutenant combat staff sent by the 200th Mechanized Brigade before the war: "Change all the troops directly under the Third Battalion and the regiment, and I will fight with the Japanese devils!"
The combat staff, with a smoke mixed with blood on his face, held a stop to build a Czech zb light machine gun and replied loudly: "No one is allowed to mobilize the reserve team without the division headquarters!"
"I'll kill you!" Huang Rende waved the submachine gun in his hand impulsively and was grabbed by the confidential staff again!
Huang Rende, who realized that he had lost his composure, was stunned for a moment, and then said to dozens of minor wounded men in the bunker who were waiting to be transferred: "Brothers! Look at the situation today, our men can't get out of here. Just now, my brother Dezi has already taken a step forward. Today, I want to calculate all the national hatred and family hatred with the Japanese. Death in front of the formation is the hero who tells the story on weekdays. For the country and the people, retreat and let his people beat him to death, he is a coward. If he dies, he is not allowed to enter the ancestral grave! Let the Japanese see how powerful the men in our Redmi Town are!"
All else is empty. For the Yunnan-Guizhou area where the fallen leaves return to its roots and the strong rural atmosphere, it is a great shame to not be able to enter the ancestral tomb after death. Dozens of wounded soldiers rushed to the position with weapons and screaming under Huang Rende's instigation, while more than a dozen seriously injured people rolled from the position with a bundle of grenades to the Japanese storm queue.
A veteran whose leg was blown up was gasping for breath and said to a young soldier next to him who was blinded by a grenade launcher: "Niu Zi, help me, push me to the position!"
The young soldier had just pushed the veteran to the position, and several evil bullets pierced through his chest, and even overturned Niu Zi, whose eyes were blown away. Niu Zi, who was shot on his shoulder, groped the veteran's body for a long time, and finally found the bundle of blood-stained grenades.
Chapter completed!
