Chapter Thirty-Four Bloody Mountains of Gold (7)
Gu Guoxiong didn't sleep last night. He was thinking all night that if the Japanese attacked again after dawn, how could his 56th Division survive and how to lose less troops. After thinking about it all night, he didn't come up with any good ideas. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt, the more he was, how could he sleep?
Before dawn, Gu Guoxiong simply came to the positions one by one. Don’t know how to walk, there are even people who traveled earlier. He came up early, and the Japanese were surprisingly diligent today.
Gu Guoxiong turned the four side peaks in which his troops were responsible for defense to the second one, and the Japanese shells were covered, and they were much more evil than yesterday afternoon. One round after another shot hit the mountain where he was located, and no one could see the figures a few meters away.
Half an hour later, the intensity of the Japanese artillery bombardment gradually slowed down.
As soon as the Japanese artillery fire was loose, Gu Guoxiong's first reaction was to pounce next to the telephone on the position and picked up the receiver. He wanted to call the mountain to transfer troops immediately. He had been fighting with the Japanese for almost a year, and the Japanese had just a few moves, nothing new. After he dared to conclude that the bombardment of this density, the Japanese would immediately attack the side peak where he was. The Japanese would not be so generous if they were not the main attack direction. As soon as they got up, they would have hundreds of large-caliber shells.
The 56th Division on this side peak now only has two battalions of troops. If the Japanese really attacked in large numbers, they would not be able to withstand this little force. The reason why they placed two battalions on this mountain is because this is the most difficult one among the four side peaks of Fujin Mountain. The two battalions have already passed yesterday's bloody battle, and the 56th Division, which has greatly lost its troops, can allocate the limit of the troops here.
"Hey, I'm Gu Guoxiong, hey." After shouting two times, Gu Guoxiong threw the phone receiver to the ground. There was no electric current in the receiver, and no one responded on the other side of the receiver. It was obvious that the Japanese shelling just now had already turned the only phone on the position into a decoration.
"The Japanese are coming up."
Gu Guoxiong turned his head and followed the direction of a guard beside him and looked down at the mountain. He saw that the Japanese were rushing up to the peak he was on, with at least four or five hundred troops. Good guy, the Japanese put in as much force as they came up today as they were when they reached their peak yesterday afternoon.
"Teacher, the mountain there is also the Japanese attacking upwards." A young staff member with a clean face on the 56th Division noticed the movement under a mountain next to him with sharp eyes.
"Yuan Jun, you can bring a few people to move the troops and pull me up the two side peaks at the foot of the mountain with only those who can breathe. Even if we use people, we will block the Japanese. We will also send someone to report to the military throne and ask him to send reinforcements to us as soon as possible."
Gu Guoxiong shouted to the young adviser with both emotions.
Gu Guoxiong was really anxious at this moment. When he got angry, the scalp on his bare head became even more greasy, making people look like an inverted oil gourd from a distance.
The Japanese rushed to the mountain very quickly, like a group of wolves chasing rabbits behind them, running straight up the mountain. After Yuan Jun and the others left for only a dozen minutes, the Japanese rushed to the position and had angered with the brothers of the 56th Division.
When the two armies exchanged fire, Gu Guoxiong, who had been through many battles, saw from the Japanese firepower density. He just now had a little conservative estimate of the Japanese military strength. Is there a group of Japanese soldiers with two squadrons clearly divided into one squadron? (In fact, the Japanese soldiers attacking the side peak where Gu Guoxiong was located had a remnant of about 1,200 troops.)
五十六师的士兵们可不是向中原手下的那样热血沸腾能拼能砍的川军.说实话这支从滇军从脱胎而来的部队,在肉博战上确实不怎么来的.
But the soldiers of the 56th Division also have their own advantages. The Dian Army! It is one of the major birthplaces of modern Chinese army. It was the main force that protected the country and attacked Yuan. It was the Dian Army, but it had defeated tens of thousands of Beiyang Army in Sichuan with thousands of troops.
The old Dian Army's unique skill is that it has good rifle marks and a fast single-soldier's fire rate, which means that the rifle is fast and accurate. Moreover, the company-level firepower is particularly excellent. If the rifle marks the 18th Army's temporary 18th Army has the best rifle marks, the company-level firepower is the most accurate and fierce. In these aspects, if the 56th Division is called second in the 18th Army, it is really not as good as the first. Even compared with the Japanese, the veterans of the 56th Division's rifle accuracy and fire rate are not inferior.
As the two armies were closer, the bullets of the brothers of the 56th Division almost hit the dog's body with guns and guns, causing the Japanese to fall one by one. However, there were too many Japanese people, and they decided to occupy this position at all costs. They actually fell down one group of people. The more the Japanese attacks, the more fierce the formations became, and the more dense the formations were. It took only half an hour to start fighting, and several groups of Japanese had already broken through less than fifty meters away from the position.
As the Japanese approached step by step, the positional advantage of the 56th Division was offset bit by bit, and the Japanese mortars and heavy machine guns were shot very accurately, which gave the Chinese army a lot of damage. Finally, under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, which was greatly superior to their own numbers and heavy weapons, several areas of the defending positions of the 56th Division were broken through by the Japanese vanguard. In this way, the position of the 56th Division was in danger, and the position of the Chinese army was about to collapse completely.
'His grandma, I've really seen ghosts these days, so I'll come whatever I'm afraid of.' Although I'm mentally prepared for another fierce battle today, Gu Guoxiong never expected that the Japanese would actually be able to take it down and be at the main peak that could be destined to be in a high position, and not break through with all their strength, and use such troops to attack himself first.
"Brothers, get the bayonet, search the guys, follow me." Rejecting his subordinates' request to go down first, the tall Gu Guoxiong picked up a bayonet rifle and led the brothers of the 56th Division to kill the small group of Japanese troops who had already entered the position.
When he rushed out of the position, Gu Guoxiong did not think of anything else useless. As a veteran with nearly 30 years of military experience, he deeply understood that as long as he picked up the bayonet and rushed into the enemy group, he would not be a division commander or a general. He was just a soldier. If he could not understand this, he would only die faster.
"Kill" don't say, although Gu Guoxiong's stunning skills are very strange, they are really useful in actual combat. The first time they meet Gu Guoxiong, they killed a Japanese devil. Seeing that the division's seat was so brave, everyone was energetic and rushed towards the Japanese devil.
"Kill" Gu Guoxiong was so angry that he swung the bayonet with one hand and rushed towards the Japanese. The bayonet's sword peak struck the throat of the two Japanese. This time, many veterans from Yunnan behind him saw that the division was fighting for bayonets, and they were clearly holding bayonets as Burmese swords!
Inspired by Gu Guoxiong's actions, the officers and soldiers of the 56th Division forced the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the position with a burst of blood. While packing up the fifty or sixty Japanese soldiers, hundreds of officers and soldiers also fell down the 56th Division.
"Minister, you're so skillful. You're really one of the major guards of Tang Jishuai on Wuhua Mountain." Only a few officers and soldiers of the 56th Division knew that Gu Guoxiong had served as Tang Jiyao's guardian twenty years ago, and Long Cheng, the commander of the 1287th Regiment, was one of them. Long Cheng's regiment headquarters was just below the mountain. When he heard the gunshot, he brought the troops of the regiment's spy company to the mountain. There were two battalions in Long Cheng's regiment on this side peak. If he lost it, he could only be considered a battalion commander, and he couldn't help but worry.
"Okay, boy, stop shooting, this is not the time. The Japanese are still standing in front of the position and shooting us. They will come again later. It is justified that you, the regiment commander, will command the brothers to fight the Japanese. I will let you shoot enough after this battle. I am really old, and I will be exhausted for a while. You can also let me take a breath." Long Cheng is a confidant general of Gu Guoxiong. Thinking about the fact that their group of young officers of the Yunnan Army fled from Yunnan to the Guangzhou Marshal's Mansion because they were dissatisfied with Tang Jiyao's rule. Among them, Long Cheng, who had a friendship that had been in trouble for nearly twenty years, was naturally very talkative.
This side peak has a lot of troops, and Gu Guoxiong is in charge here. Finally, he reached the 56th Division's division headquarters and arrived. Although the Japanese were not driven down the mountain, they could not break through the 56th Division's position for a while.
Ancient Kingdom was not very anxious about this situation. As long as he led the Japanese, the reinforcements in Lieutenant General Huang would continue to rise, and the Japanese would eventually have to retreat to the mountain. Besides, in this kind of mid- and long-distance shooting, the Fifty-Sixth Division with a position to rely on would not suffer any loss. He was eager to continue like this. If the Japanese went down so early, then the brothers on the mountain would have to be shot by the Japanese again.
“什么,左侧的山头丢了.”古国雄才轻松了一小会,一个士兵就来向他报告了一个坏消息,同时被日本人攻击的另一座山峰丢了.
'Although there is only one reinforcement battalion, the terrain is much better than here. Why did it be lost after only an hour of fire?" Gu Guoxiong originally thought that even if the Japanese army on the left attacked the mountain on the left could not be taken down in an hour!
"Deputy Chief of Staff Bai brought a brother from multiple battalions to reinforce. He was defeated by others when he reached the mountain. Deputy Chief of Staff Bai was also killed!" The soldier, who seemed to be less than twenty, said in a crying manner in the Yunnan Kozhang.
"I understand, you go down and don't talk about this to your brothers everywhere."
Gu Guoxiong waved his hand and sent the soldier away.
"Captain Long, send someone to report the military captain immediately!"
Gu Guoxiong called Long Cheng beside him and said to him.
While saying this, Gu Guoxiong hugged Long Cheng with a bitter smile.
Long Cheng also returned it with a bitter smile.
Both of them knew that at this time the Fifty-Sixth Division was unable to rely on their own strength to regain the lost position, so they could only look at Lieutenant General Huang.
"Commander Bai, the 56th Division lost Peak No. 2 on the left side of Fujin Mountain. Your troops are closest to there. I order you to take back there at all costs. Yes! At all costs! I will pull all the artillery in the army to provide you with firepower support! The ugly saying goes, if you can't get it down within three hours, you will have to not afford it!" Through the Main Peak Artillery Observation Institute, Lieutenant General Huang knew about the loss of Peak No. 2 before Gu Guoxiong. He immediately ordered the temporary 98th Division without delaying a minute.
Bai Xianhao did not dare to neglect after receiving the order. He knew very well what the loss of Peak No. 2 on the left side of Fujin Mountain meant to the entire battle situation. If the Japanese could not regain the side peak and after they gained a foothold, they could send troops to penetrate the rear of the Chinese army's defense line. If this happens, the Eighteenth Army would have to retreat on its entire line. As a soldier, he understood what the price would have to pay when the two armies were in a stalemate and could not support and were forced to retreat. He also knew that if he could not get Peak No. 2 on the left this time, Lieutenant General Huang would not let him go. Even if his clan was in a high position, he could not save him. This is the battlefield, and Lieutenant General Huang was his direct commander after all. He wanted to carry out a battlefield on him, even if the lawsuit could be turned over in the future, it would have no practical significance to him.
Bai Xianhao learned from the lessons that the Gui army used its troops one after another during the Battle of Shanghai, and the Japanese defeated them one by one. One hour after receiving the call from Lieutenant General Huang, he dispatched two regiments at once (this is all the troops he can control now) to launch a crazy attack on the Japanese army that had just captured the second peak on the left under the cover of all the artillery fire of the 18th Army.
他这是希望凭着桂军的犀利攻击力和近战能力,一举把立足未稳的日军给干下山去.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom." Listening to the movement, Lieutenant General Huang was determined. The artillery density of the artillery that shelled the Chinese army this time was comparable to the Japanese army's earlier shelling of Peak No. 2 on the left.
The Japanese army, who had just captured Peak No. 2 on the left, were immediately killed and half of them were killed and injured by the cannon fire. The non-death ones were shocked and could not tell the difference between the east, south, west and north.
"Don't you fucking little Japan, brothers, rush with me." Under the leadership of the Gui army officers holding submachine guns and wearing big blocks during the Northern Expedition, the brothers of the 98th Division rushed barefoot to the No. 2 Peak on the left.
Bai Xianhao's move was right. Under the decisive attack of the 98th Division, the Japanese on the mountain only took over for an hour and could not support it. The Japanese reinforcements were still in time, so the Japanese army on Peak No. 2 on the left were driven down by the Gui army.
"Report to the military captain that our troops have recovered the second peak on the left." Bai Xianhao ordered a major without any hesitation.
The Japanese army was defeated, but the troops that he temporarily participated in the attack were also crippled in this battle. What's so happy about killing enemies with 800 and losing 3,000 to win the battle? However, at this time, Bai Xianhao was not dissatisfied with Lieutenant General Huang. In order to cooperate with this attack, Lieutenant General Huang exposed the positions of the military artillery. He was caught by the Japanese heavy artillery, and suddenly knocked out more than half of the military artillery in the 18th Army. Just attacked this, Bai Xianhao felt that he had nothing to complain about.
