The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

"Quickly report to the seat of the master, the devil is about to launch an attack!"

The 51th and 305th regiments under the 306st Division were assigned to Zhanggushan at the northern end of Changling. They also discovered the devils who rushed over at the same time.

"Dinglingling..." The telephone of the division headquarters set up one kilometer behind Changling rang urgently.

"Master seat! The devils are attacking! There are at least a few thousand troops!"

"Master seat, I found the Devil's army head-on, at least two brigades!"

……

The commanders of various positions hurriedly called the division commander Wang Yaowu to report the situation.

Teacher Wang Yaowu was also shocked when he heard the reports from all over the place. He thought he had beaten the devils to the ground last night, but he didn't expect them to come back so soon.

"You must stick to your position! You can't retreat a single step!" The division commander Wang Yaowu gave the regiments a death order.

After hanging up the phone, the division commander Wang Yaowu hadn't recovered from the shock.

"Master, the strength of the devil's attack is probably no less than a brigade." Zhou Zhidao, the deputy commander of the 51st Division and the commander of the 151st Brigade, said solemnly.

The division commander Wang Yaowu recovered from the shock and said: "The devils have reached the end of their battle. This is just their dying struggle, but we still can't be careless. If they break through from the direction of my 51st division, I'm afraid you and I can't afford it." Responsibility."

Zhou Zhidao nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to Changling to direct it personally. We must not be the sinners who let the devil go."

Wang Yaowu pondered for a few seconds, raised his head and said, "Alright, you go to take charge of the southern side of Changling. I will personally supervise the battle at Zhanggu Mountain in the northern section. If this battle fails, you will be benevolent. At all costs, you must block the devils back!"

"Yes! At all costs!" Zhou Zhidao gritted his teeth, and was already prepared for huge casualties.

This is not only a battle to encircle and annihilate the Songpu Division, defend Greater Wuhan, and inspire the hearts of the army and the people, but also a battle for their Central Army to show their strength. The pressure on the shoulders of the division commander Wang Yaowu can be imagined.

Chapter 634 Counterattack ([-])

Surrounded by a group of officers, Colonel Ichikawa Yozo, captain of the Devil's 145th Regiment, approached the front with a telescope and observed the Changling position.

Their 145th Wing was ordered to replace the 113th Wing, which suffered heavy losses, to counterattack the Changling position, and the head of the brigade, Major General Aoki Takashi, personally led the 136th Brigade to attack Zhanggushan at the northern end of Changling.

Everything could be seen clearly through the telescope. The two sides fought repeatedly on the Changling line for several days.

On the dark red hillside, corpses that hadn't been dealt with in time were piled up in disorder, and the mountain wind carried a rotting stench, which made people sick.

The surviving officers and soldiers of the 58th Division of the Chinese Army, which suffered heavy losses, have been withdrawn, and now under the banner of the flying blue sky and white sun are the troops of the 51st Division Yang Ling.

Yang Ling and the others went through rush repairs, and the fortification trenches destroyed by the artillery fire were dug and restored. In the criss-crossing fortifications, the officers were shouting nervously, and countless ammunition was sent to the front, creating a tense atmosphere before the war.

"The strength of this Chinese army should not be underestimated. Their firepower points are properly arranged and well-organized. You must not be careless."

After observing for a while, the captain of the regiment, Yozo Ichikawa, instructed the officers and assistants on the left and right.

Ichikawa Hirozo was originally arrogant and arrogant, and he never took the Chinese army seriously. He fought on a rampage and defeated at least four or five Chinese troops with division-level designations.

Now that he suddenly said such words, all the officials looked sideways. Is this how the captain of his own team has become so timid?

"Commander, according to intelligence, the one deployed on Changling is only a regiment-level unit of the Chinese Army. With our strength, we can crush them!" A team leader said dismissively.

The rest of the officers and assistants around also nodded one after another. Although they were trapped now, in fact they were not worried at all.

Because they got the news that the 27th Division, the 9th Division and the 101st Division are trying their best to move closer. Judging from past experience, they may be able to fight an anti-encirclement.

Seeing his subordinates underestimating the enemy, the captain of the regiment, Yozo Ichikawa, frowned. He was not as optimistic as they were.

As the captain of the regiment, he naturally got more gossip. Although reinforcements were trying their best to move closer to them, the progress was not smooth in the face of the resistance of the Chinese blocking forces.

The reason why he didn't tell his subordinates such bad news was that he didn't want to affect the morale of the troops and stabilize the morale of the troops.

"You must be aware of the situation of the 113th Regiment. Two days have lost more than half of the time. If you don't want to repeat the same mistakes, please don't underestimate the enemy. Although our opponent is a regiment-level force, they are the elite center of the Chinese Army." Army." Regiment leader Yozo Ichikawa reminded his subordinates again in a deep voice.

"Hi Yi!" When all the officials saw what the captain said, they all looked terrified, and put away their contempt.

Although they dismissed the miscellaneous troops in the Chinese army sequence, the Cantonese Army and the Central Army did not dare to take it lightly.

Seeing the smiles on the faces of the officers and assistants restrained and becoming more serious, the captain Ichikawa Yozo sighed slightly in his heart, hoping that they would really take it seriously, he didn't want to fall into the sand here.

In fact, observing the enemy's situation at the front can't observe anything. The Changling area has been smashed, and if you want to win it, you have to launch a real attack.

Soon, the commander of the regiment, Ichikawa Yozao, issued an order: "The first battalion will attack from the front, the second battalion will divide its troops into two wings to attract firepower, and the third battalion will stand by on the spot."

"Hi Yi!" All the officials took the order, murderous looks began to emerge on their faces.

When Yozo Ichikawa, the captain of the Devil's 145th Regiment, led a group of officials to observe Yang Ling's position, Yang Ling was also lying on the edge of the trench, watching the Devil with a telescope.

The devils stopped about a mile away from the front of their position. Those who dug foxholes arranged firepower points, and those who assembled mountain artillery on the spot prepared for the attack.

Seeing the little devil preparing for the attack in an orderly manner, Yang Ling also had a rough judgment on the devil's strength.

Yang Ling and the others belonged to the main force group now, which was much stronger in terms of firepower and numbers than the average group, but it was still a bit difficult to deal with a well-equipped Devils corps.

"Do you have any orders from the Master?" Yang Ling put away the binoculars and turned to ask.

Zhang Qingyun, chief of staff of the regiment, replied: "The commander ordered to stick to the position and not retreat a step."

Although Yang Ling knew the result, he still felt the heavy pressure. It was a matter of one word to stick to the position, but if he really wanted to do it, he might be betting on the lives of hundreds of brothers.

Yang Ling frowned: "Have you reported to the teacher that we are facing an alliance?"

Zhang Qingyun cried and said: "Report, the commander said that the brigade and the 302 regiment will be deployed on the left wing. If they can't hold on, they will support us. The artillery battalion in the brigade will also support us when necessary."

When Liu Yidao heard this, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Supporting fart, wait for those guys from the artillery camp to pull out the cannon, I'm afraid the day lily will be cold."

It's not that Liu Yidao was making a fuss, but that the troops had few artillery and the air superiority was in the hands of the devils. The artillery battalion didn't dare to come out during the day, and only dared to pull out the cannons to fire a few rounds at night, which made the infantry brothers complain. .

Yang Ling also knew the actual situation, and told a staff officer: "You go to Battalion Commander Sun of the artillery battalion yourself, and tell us that we are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If we lose our positions, the devils will suddenly attack us." Come in, even if his artillery battalion hides in the woods, it will be bad luck, let him be ready to support us."

"Yes!"

Yang Ling believed that Sun Heiniu, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, would not fail to understand this truth. Even if he wanted to preserve his strength, it would depend on when. It would be a strange thing that only their infantry regiment could stop the devil's regiment now.

Seeing that the staff officer hurriedly left to find the artillery battalion, Yang Ling turned around and saw several battalion commanders asking, "Who will guard the first round?"

Lu Xing and the other battalion commanders looked at each other without saying a word. Everyone knew that this battle was going to be difficult.

"What? Scared?" Yang Ling asked jokingly.

"I'm afraid of grandma. Our third battalion will play the first round. People will die and die for thousands of years. At worst, this life will be left here today." Liu Yidao, the commander of the third battalion, couldn't help but speak immediately.

Seeing Liu Yidao being so excited by Yang Ling, Qin Shou, the deputy battalion commander, immediately turned green. Damn, you want to die, but I want to live.

"Okay, the old rules, insist for an hour and I will let the second battalion come up to replace you."
