Chapter 178 Blood Pass (Part 1)

(... The veteran always warns the recruits that you cannot save your injured brother in this situation, and do not save your trapped brother in that situation; but the veterans often save their brothers at the most critical moment. Why? When you understand, you are already a veteran... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

Zhang Bashan has already been defeated? Tian Tianfu rolled the telegram into a ball and threw it at his feet. The victory of the cooperative combat troops did not bring him any joy. On the contrary, he felt that this was a death-seeking talisman.

The Yamada Brigade has made a major breakthrough and won Zhang Bashan, but he stopped in front of Qingliu Pass. Anyone can understand the meaning of the Naoda Brigade Commander sending him this notice at this time.

Tian Tianfu took a few guards to the top of the command center to observe the enemy's position. They carefully exposed half of their heads, and the steel helmet also learned from the Chinese veterans to use mash bags. They had to be very careful because the Chinese people on the opposite side were too vicious! They suffered a lot on the way from Guanshankou to Qingliuguan, and almost every special geography that could be used was used by the Chinese team-a zigzag mountain road made them suffer a lot. The Chinese people were on the opposite side.

At the end of the road, a machine gun was set up to attack them, and several scouts walking in front were buried on the mountain road. The troops behind received the news and rushed to suppress them with heavy machine guns, but found that the results were very little. Although their firepower made the machine gun position on the opposite side, the soldiers who passed the mountain road were still sniped. So they set up mortars to bombard them, but when the opponent's position had no response at all, the soldiers who continued to advance were knocked down by the machine gun just as soon as they turned the intersection...

It was not until the vanguard troops pushed the machine guns up and suppressed them, and the infantry began to rush along the way to launch an attack that they occupied the empty and hateful blocking point: the Chinese dug a cave on the turning mountain wall and made a small but strong bunker. Their mortars and heavy machine guns were indeed difficult to threaten the other party, and they could only rely on the flat-fire heavy firepower of the machine guns.

Such a simple zigzag blocking point actually caused more than 30 casualties and delayed them for thirty minutes.

This is just one place, and they could not count the various blocking points they encountered along the way; they moved forward in a mess overnight, and when the vanguard troops arrived at Qingliu Pass, their casualties had reached 300 - if such casualties were placed on the northern battlefield, it would be the total number of casualties in a medium-sized battle!

The vanguard troops had just arrived at Qingliu Pass, and the main offensive forces received a call from the brigade commander before they even assembled. It was a death talisman... It was already dawn, but Tian Tianfu, who had arrived just now, could not launch an attack. Based on his experience, he knew that an opponent who could act so difficult along the way would never make them relaxed.

"Report the captain of the wing, this is the loss and combat experience of the Kuramori United..." Hearing the report from his subordinates, Tian Tianfu retracted his head and took the document. After only looking at it, he hated him: he knew that Kuramori Gongren would not give up the opportunity to make meritorious deeds to himself, and it must be very difficult for the opponent to deal with it, so when the troops crossed the Kuramori United, he ordered his subordinates to go down to the Kuramori United in person to investigate the situation.

Kuramori wanted to drive himself to death!... The enemy has a large number of submachine guns, which caused our army to suffer heavy losses in close combat; the enemy has super-large caliber machine guns, which are almost the same as machine guns and have faster firing speeds. My front-line cover machine gun positions were almost completely destroyed; the enemy was extremely tenacious, and used wounded people to lurk on the roadside to lurk on the road, causing heavy casualties during the march... Baga! This is the report of the people I sent back, but Kuramori's notice of combat situation was only the enemy's tenaciousness, fearlessness and dedication, which was similar to my Yamato Warriors... If I hadn't sent someone to investigate carefully, I would have crashed into it like this!? Such a powerful enemy defended the danger, and even if the regiment was completely wiped out, it would not be possible to capture it! The more I read the report, the more I was so angry that I was so angry that I could smoke!

Although the snow is not heavy, it is enough to prevent the plane from participating in the battle. Cannons above 75mm are difficult to transport, at least not in a short period of time... Although the firepower still has a great advantage, it is unsure of Tian Fu, who has to conquer Qingliu Pass and ask for it.

"The 'voles' is back..." With the voices of the soldiers, a short and thin man who looked a circle smaller than others appeared in front of Li Bin. While shaking his mouth, he sprayed white breath in his mouth, while using his hands to wipe his face desperately - because he couldn't wear more clothes when he went out to reconnaissance, the "voles" who had been in the wild for almost half a night had all their faces numb and could not even speak... The "voles" couldn't speak clearly, so he went directly to the map to mark the distribution of the Japanese troops one by one.

The "field mouse" who looks vulgar and thin is actually a veteran of Guizhou from the 1st Battalion of the 823rd Regiment and an old reconnaissance platoon leader!

"Article fire preparation!" With Li Bin's order, the artillery positions were busy all the time; in fact, they had been busy for three nights - their regiment's mortar company had four 81mm French mortars, but they didn't expect that the 400 shells fired from above were 82mm mortar shells! After these shells were fired, everyone protected them like treasures, and no one thought about whether they could be used. When they were about to fight, they found that the shells could not be put into the cannon barrel! The artillery that got the shells had no choice but to do it, and had to grind the air-holding ring of the 82mm shells to try it out. It was found that there was no problem, and the accuracy was not bad (not yy, the most troops in the War of Resistance Against Japan used this to use the Civil 24 mortar shells and French artillery, right?). So for three consecutive days, each of the artillery's fingers were grinding and bleeding, and finally the shells were processed to be useful.

Perhaps, it is not a bad thing to have more casualties! Tian Tianfu thought viciously: It is obvious that Gong Ren Kuangmori wants to suffer a great loss and have a chance to become the brigade commander... Then take a strong attack and then withdraw the troops, and hand him over the information of his war situation to the division commander, so that this guy's conspiracy will go bankrupt and let him suffer the consequences!

"Swish!" "Swish!"... Before Tiantianfu's combat order came to an end, the sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded in the sky; the Chinese people actually had mortars!? As soon as Tiantianfu realized, he saw four balls of flames blowing out from an evergreen broad-leaved forest...

"Boom!" "Boom!"...The four mortars had already set up shooting coordinates, and they fired rapidly as soon as they opened fire. The shotguns that were tempted by trees just formed an air explosion effect. The shock wave of the shells that exploded about five meters above their heads was covered with iron beads that were burned red by the ammunition. The Japanese soldiers who were attacked by artillery were blown down terrible - not many died, but the wounded soldiers who were shot into their bodies with pain and lost their combat effectiveness and screamed in pain almost rolled all over the entire woods!

"Boom! Boom!..." The Japanese's large-caliber mortar opened fire, followed by small-caliber mortars and grenade launchers - although most of the heavy weapons were unable to come up, the Japanese were still the one with the superior firepower. The city was immediately covered by smoke and steam, and a large number of torn and crushed limbs were vaguely seen scattering...

The officers and soldiers in Guancheng all secretly called for luck: If there weren't a few veterans who had fought bloody battles in Nanjing among them, who would have known to build so many barricades in the open air of Guancheng? Who would have known not to leave anyone on the city tower? Who would have known to make dummies with rotten military uniforms and wood among the battlements?... The city tower was bombed with shrapnel flying across the sky, but the officers and soldiers hiding in the cave only felt a tremor. Even their hiding place was covered with quilts because of the top and walls of the cave. No one felt the dizziness of the internal organs that had been bombarded in the past.

The artillery position was set in a temple patio, and the smoke from the shells fired would not be exposed, making it difficult for the Japanese to accurately capture it in snowy days. When the Japanese artillery fire arrived, they had completed the first round of artillery transfer.

The second round of artillery was another area, which was originally a mountain stream, because the bottom was exposed during the dry season in winter, and the underground was covered with pebbles and a deep trenches formed. The surface looked like a naturally formed Tibetan trenches. However, if the shells were accurate enough and the shells could fall into it, it would be very lethal. The pebbles and side walls would form a second and third refraction strike!

The defenders' artillery bombardment could accurately fall into the trenches. They had already measured it, and even tested it with empty shells. This time, the Japanese prepared high-explosive bombs, triggering fuses. In addition to four mortars, two 75mm mountain cannons were added to the shelling.

The whistling shells fell into the Japanese bush again. The Japanese who were resting in the natural trenches were blown up and howled. The thick smoke filled the long mountain streams and gorges. Everything fell into Tiantianfu's eyes, which made him hate Kuramori Gongren to the core!

"Order all departments to build fortifications to avoid using natural fortifications..." It is obvious that the defenders are already very familiar with the natural landforms of this area. If the troops are arranged in natural hidden places or hidden places that seem to be very good, it will become the most easily attacked place for the enemy. The corps leader is preparing to attack.

Seeing the "corpses" of the *** troops in Guancheng flying everywhere, and from experience, at least one or two hundred people were blown to ashes in the artillery fire, Tian Tianfu finally looked better. However, the cannon in front of him was too good at fighting based on Guancheng Mountain... If the enemy did not retreat on his own initiative, it might be the only way to kill the opponents in Guancheng batches with a large amount of ammunition; if there is more than five days, even if the entire brigade is pressed, it will be useless, and it will not be able to be used on the mountain.

The Japanese in the two squadrons suddenly came up along the slopes on both sides of the mountain road like a rising tide, and quickly rushed towards Guancheng. In fact, everyone knew that they wanted to stimulate the defenders at the fastest speed. When some of the heavy firepower points of the defenders were exposed, they immediately retreated... However, they had already entered three hundred meters, and there was still no bullet in Guancheng!

Could it be that the Zhong*** team abandoned the defense?? He was scared by a round of artillery fire!? Tian Tianfu observed with a telescope behind, and a luxury arose in his heart - this is not impossible. He has contacted many Chinese troops who were very tough in the first fight but were completely different in the second fight. Since the new recruits supplemented by the Zhong*** team have not received much training, it is difficult to replenish the weapons and ammunition lost in the battle, and this kind of big face change is everywhere... But isn't the troops in front of him still so strong artillery fire?

The answer was revealed immediately: When the two Japanese squadrons rushed to less than 100 meters away from Guancheng, they were hesitating whether to continue moving forward. The *** team opened fire!

These Japanese who were feinting the attack did not even bring ladders, and their weapons and equipment were very light. The task was to lure the heavy firepower point to seduce the city; but when everyone was staring at Guancheng, they suddenly flipped up on the ground in front of them, and the entire row of soldiers were lurking in front of them!

These soldiers were lying in a very shallow trench, covered with straw mats and sacks, and covered with soil and snow; they had been lurking here for most of the day!

"Twist Twist Twist Twist Twist!..." The sound of submachine guns resounded throughout the sky, and a group of brothers who could not bear it finally had the opportunity to take action! They lurked in the snow field, and they were already cold to freeze, but they still kept the part of the gun against their flesh and warmed the gun. The rice wine they drank when they set off had long gone evaporated. Everyone was so cold that they trembled with the shaking of the gun when they fired, but they finally persisted to this moment!

A dense rain of bullets swept across everything in front of him. The Japanese in the two squadrons had no cover. Because they could not support their machine gun positions, they were unexpectedly swept by fifty submachine guns. They had no way to resist except lying on the ground and pretending to be dead!

The scene of blood and flesh flying made the Japanese on the offensive position frightened. Some of the flesh and blood that were driven away by bullets even fell to the Japanese trenches behind!

"Swish!" "Swish!"... The Japanese grenade launchers began to shoot, and more and more grenades began to hit the ground in front of Guancheng. The fireworks suddenly rose from the ground, covering the front of Guancheng... The ambush team who quickly drew up a magazine and retreated desperately to the hidden passage, but the Japanese soldiers' reaction was too fast, and there were still more than a dozen people unable to withdraw in time. They were blown to pieces by the dense grenade launchers...

"Quick!..." Seeing a brother who had already arrived at the door hole but was swept to the ground by a rush. He stumbled to get up but was dizzy and could only stretch his limbs and grab them randomly. Peng Zhigao flew over and hugged him and rolled into the door hole... His head and face were so painful that he was burning with burning mud and sand, as if his whole body was numb in pain. Peng Zhigao's mind was dizzy, and he was completely lost by the shock wave. At this time, he suddenly felt that he was being arrested. The brothers dragged the last two people in...

It feels so good to have sex with your brothers. It’s so great to have a life-threatening brother who wants to save his brother... Peng Zhigao’s mind was awake, and his whole body was in pain but he smiled foolishly. He finally saved a soldier, of course they were also saved by other brothers...

"Don't be a big man in front of me, who are you?!... My injury was left by fighting the Japanese. Unlike you, I just promoted my brothers by hitting my own brothers..." The veteran shot a veteran who was a ***-military woman in Jiangbei that time. The last passage of the veteran kept stimulating Peng Zhigao. Yes, he is a good soldier, but he has been just shooting at his own people... Finally, after following Captain Shen across the river to save Chief Sun, he became a soldier fighting on the line of fire. He was no longer a military policeman who retreated to him with white-handed socks and a violation of discipline.

As a hero who broke through the river from Nanjing, he received countless respects here. He could not abandon any soldier who once looked at him with admiration, so he resolutely turned around to save the brother behind him while shrapnel flew everywhere! Finally he rescued the person... "One!" After reporting the numbers, Peng Zhigao felt weaker and weaker and dizzier. Then, while everyone was still counting how many people in the ambush team had returned, he fell down as the captain...

"Captain!..." A brother found something wrong. After the captain was dragged in and reported the number, he sat against the hole wall and never said a word... In the dim passage, everyone did not notice that Peng Zhigao's neck was bleeding all the time, including himself. A shrapnel as big as a fingernail flew across his major artery. When he fainted, the blood had soaked half of his body's cotton coat... If this was not a dim passage, if it was discovered early, if there was a hospital for blood transfusion here... The military police lieutenant who refused to let him go back to the rear immediately and received the honors finally became soldiers on the front line. He had a group of brothers who were not well-educated. He led the brothers to fight a beautiful battle, and he saved his brothers back...

The passage was full of sadness, but everyone had no time to be sad. The living brothers raised their heroes and idols, and Captain Peng Zhigao, who came out of Nanjing to cross the river, quickly passed through the passage and returned to Guancheng...

The passage was deserted and the artillery battle between the two sides ended at some point, and there was no sound of gunfire. From time to time, a fresh but cold air came in from the strong smell of gunfire. There was nothing wrong with the open space behind the city except for the messy footprints. None of the Japanese shells hit here. The smiling faces of brothers who were standing against the wall waiting to respond to them suddenly froze. They found that the faces of the ambush team members were abnormal, and they saw the heroes carried out of the door...

The heroes came back, but their bodies were cold and blue, but they no longer had their battles. The snot that had been hanging on their lips had disappeared in tension. Thirty-three living, one living forever. Seventeen brothers' broken bodies remained outside the city. They would turn into soil in the steps of the Japanese attack in repeated artillery fire.

The first round of fire bucks between the two sides was very tragic. In just one minute, the submachine gun volley and a minute of grenade launcher volley, everyone suddenly stopped fire; one hundred and ninety-two Japanese fell in the snow field, and seventeen of them were unable to go back. After the smoke dissipated, the remains and blood stains on the ground were left in front of the city!

Two days later, everything returned to its original state. I saw Tang Muyun, a book friend in the comment area, saying 20 tickets a day... I was so dizzy, how could there be so many tickets? I only had three tickets myself, how did I get it? I ask...)
