Chapter 85

The brigade commander of the No.30 Sixth Brigade of the Sixth Division, Major General Ushidoman, was a very strategic and extremely cautious person, and the blood and flesh of his subordinates did not make him impulsive.When he arrived here with a large force, he almost fainted. The 23rd Regiment under his command suffered such a heavy loss, and more than 3000 elite soldiers of the empire were bombarded to death. Okamoto Town Minister Osamu also became a mass of meat crumbs.

These are elite soldiers of the empire!From Shanghai to Nanjing and then to Anhui, he fought all the way, and there was no opponent at all.How long have you suffered such a loss?Losing so many excellent soldiers and officers of the empire, he was really heartbroken, but the situation made him calm down very quickly, and he warned himself not to pinch impulsively.The murderer who attacked the imperial army this time, he vaguely guessed that it must be the murderer who killed his colleague Sakai-kun!That is an extremely terrifying Chinese army!According to the news from the Division Headquarters, this Chinese army has been lurking in the deep mountains. Although the number is a bit contradictory, it is absolutely indispensable.The Chinese who can destroy Okamoto Yasuyuki's unit in one fell swoop will have at least ten times as many troops.Then the number of this terrifying army must not be less than 3, and it has heavy weapons such as heavy artillery, and its firepower is extremely fierce.

Major General Ushijima Man is not arrogant and conceited, he can win every battle, one is brave, and the other is his strategy.Therefore, after receiving the order to march into Anqing, he tried to shorten the marching distance of each unit as much as possible, so as to support each other and remain invincible.

When the former army was attacked, he rushed over quickly, but what the telescope could see was corpses all over the place. In just a few 10 minutes, his experienced and invincible alliance was crippled. How powerful are the Chinese people?Absolutely scarier than the legendary ones!Although it was a sneak attack, the terrain they chose to bombard was so good that there was nowhere to hide, and they all died?He was even thinking that if he was in charge, all his surviving sporadic troops could be cleaned up.

Since the Chinese army dared to set up an ambush here, the city of Anqing might be in danger. With the two or three thousand defeated generals of Shigeichi Namada, they can withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Chinese. Can Anqing be kept?He doesn't believe it!There are Chinese people here, Anqing must have fallen, no wonder the telegrams they sent were like mud cows falling into the sea.Major General Ushishima Man suddenly felt weak all over, and felt a little guilty.This is a feeling he has never had before. He did not have this feeling at the time when he was engaged in a desperate bloody battle with the elite troops of the Chinese people in Nanjing. Why now?

He made up his mind and didn't care!First completely destroy the Chinese people on the opposite side, and then he will use artillery fire to wipe out all the fear in his heart. After all, if the imperial soldiers are timid to fight, it is definitely a great shame!So he ordered his direct artillery wing to start bombardment. The damn weather couldn't see the effect of the bombardment, but at least that person was so bombarded that he didn't dare to fight back!
Could it be that he had already escaped?Filled with doubts, Niu Dao sent three more groups of observers to investigate. Now the river is even more turbulent, and the heavy rain has caused flash floods. There is no possibility of prison crossing. There is no trace of any Chinese people!

Is it possible to be sure that all the people in China are dead, or have escaped long ago?He was conflicted, angry and a little happy. After all, he had killed more than 2000 people, accounting for about one-third of the brigade. The loss was too heavy.It would be best not to fight them, but the messy valley of death made him sad again, when will he take revenge?Can I still apply?
There is no way, they are all warriors of the empire, they must be settled properly, anyway, they cannot cross the river now.With a sad wave of his hand, he sent a brigade over to clean up the remains of the warriors.After a while, he asked another brigade to help. There were too many "warriors", and a brigade couldn't handle it. The workload was too heavy, and many of the bodies, hands and feet couldn't fit together.
Ushishima looked at the busy soldiers below with a blank expression on his face. According to the reconnaissance of the scouts in Okamoto's army, there was a place in the upper reaches where he could barely cross the river. He also sent out a large group to seize the terrain there first. Let's talk after crossing the river. As for Anqing?We have to do a good job of reconnaissance.Now that there are less than [-] troops left in our army, we have to carefully consider whether we can deal with the tens of thousands of elite Chinese soldiers.

He was thinking about several plans for the march in his mind, when suddenly there was a suffocating heat wave in the air, and even the icy rain could not quench it, and someone under his command yelled: "Enemy attack!" Udo was shocked: The Chinese man did not leave, but was thrown down in the mud by the guards around him, and covered him tightly with his body, it was so heavy!The man fell to the ground, and the neat military uniform was covered in mud. Then he heard several explosions, the ground began to tremble, and the Chinese heavy artillery fired again.
At the same time, the artillery position more than three miles away from here was caught off guard, and the four heavy artillery pieces were blasted into parts. Dozens of imperial artillerymen who were sitting and resting after being tired for a long time did not even have time to evade, so they all came together. It was smashed to pieces!The Chinese cannons were so accurate that the four 105mm field guns of the imperial army that had participated in the shelling just now were instantly destroyed by the opponent's three 105mm field guns.These are the only four heavy artillery pieces in our army, is that the end?Lying in the mud, Niu Daoman closed his eyes in pain when he heard the heartbreaking explosion behind him.But he was still glad that the other eight 75mm field guns were placed in the side valley and did not participate in the battle, otherwise
Wen Zhong commanded the three cannons to blast with all their strength, and first knocked out the positions of the four heavy cannons that were raging on the rocks and trees just now. This was verified and calculated by him many times. , should have hit the target.When Wen Zhong was excited, he immediately backed off the artillery fire and began to bombard the "corpse cleaning teams" in the valley. This time the effect seemed to be a bit worse. The power of the shells hitting the "carpet" was inevitably reduced a lot, and the lethality was also worse. Not a lot.

After five or six rounds of bombardment, Liang Yu, who had already woken up, made some calculations and felt a little bad. The devil's shelling just now seemed to have only used four heavy artillery pieces. A brigade should have only four artillery pieces, right?What about the others?

In line with the purpose of safety first, Liang Yu immediately ordered Wen Zhong and others to abandon the gun quickly and retreat to the foot of the mountain.This time Wen Zhong didn't dare to be negligent, and even pulled and dragged all his subordinates who were enjoying their addiction and were unwilling to be reconciled.As soon as their people stood still, there was an earth-shattering cannon sound from the opposite side, and the shells blasted the artillery positions here to a mess.Looking at the dumbfounded subordinates, Wen Zhong lectured triumphantly: "The leader is a living god, he is absolutely right, do you bastard sons know?"

With the devils doing it for him, he didn't have to blow up the cannon himself. After a few shots, it turned into a pile of broken copper and rotten iron.The devils did not spare any firepower, smashing the pile of broken copper and iron into pieces, and they still refused to give up.

Liang Yu looked at it for a while, and felt nothing interesting, so he said with a smile: "Let's go, Fang San and the others over there should almost be in contact with the devils, let's hurry to support." Wen Zhong and others immediately brought the two doors from the carriage Picking up the cannons and shells, they followed Liang Yu and the others along the mountainside and walked upstream. The rainy weather was slippery and the mountain road was difficult, but Fang San and the others had already made preparations. The professor's special forces have unique marks, and ropes are also set up at dangerous places.

A group of people marched very easily, and there were bursts of roars to see them off.The result of this battle is really not small, Liang Yu and others are in a very good mood, Wen Zhong said with a smile: "This cannon is very enjoyable, I don't know if it will kill that damned Niu Daoman!" Shanhu laughed and said: "Wen Brother, you can’t blow his head to pieces, we still have to cut off his head. Or that old lonely Sakai.”

Udoman wasn't dead, he was just overwhelmed by his guards, and his nose was almost flooded.He was very angry in his heart, thinking: "Biga is pressing the road, you have to choose a light-weight person." After counting the results of the battle, he almost burst into tears again. Four heavy artillery pieces and [-] imperial warriors disappeared. !There are also a lot of wounded soldiers who have suffered incomparably. This battle was so useless!He didn't even see whether the Chinese man was tall or short, fat or thin, so he lost half of the people. His eyes were wet. Fortunately, the rain was constantly washing it, so no one could see it!

Liang Yu and his entourage climbed the book and crossed the mountains, but they could only walk three or four miles when they heard bursts of gunshots ahead. Fang San and the others really came into contact with the devils.However, the battle was not very intense, there was a shot and there was no shot, it was obvious that Fang San and the others were playing a cold gun game.

Liang Yu quickly came to the foot of a mountain. This mountain was not high, but there were many trees and stones, so it was an excellent place for guerrilla warfare.But they saw that the 12 people from Fang San and the others on the top of the peak were separated, each looking for a hiding place, and fired a shot at the opposite side from time to time.

Liang Yu and Shan Hu rushed up quickly and came to Fang San's side, but they saw Liu Jiahao next to him with a bandage on his head under the helmet, which startled him and asked: "Jiahao, what's the matter? Is the injury serious? " Liu Jiahao said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just got scratched and nodded. Fortunately, brother Fang gave me a hand, otherwise it would be really embarrassing!" But during the battle just now, he poked his head out in a hurry, fortunately Fang San glanced quickly and pulled him back, but the devil's bullet still scratched his forehead.

Seeing that he was fine, Liang Yu felt relieved, and asked about Fang San's situation, but there was a large group of devils rushing towards him. They scouted for a while, and after they thought everything was fine, they began to go to work. Now, it's cutting wood and cutting bamboo again, preparing to build a bridge to cross the river.Later, there were eight devils who were good at long jumps. After gesturing on the bank for a long time, they dared to jump over in one step.However, the ninth one fell into the river without much misstep, and rushed several feet away in an instant, and he couldn't even afford one. The scene was really miserable, and no devil dared to try again after that.

The eight devils rushed across the other bank and climbed towards the top of the mountain with hands and feet.Fang San waited to remain calm until the eight hands had reached the top of the peak, and then he appeared, stabbed with guns and bayonets, and wiped out all the eight "heroic" devils, and then threw grenades collectively, The straight-line distance from the mountain top on the opposite side is only more than 50 meters, and the height difference is about [-] meters. It is condescending, and the power of more than ten grenades is no less than that of a heavy shell. The lucky ones were blown into the river to "swim", and the unlucky ones were turned into pieces of meat on the bank.

Then Wen Dashu and Cui Dong's machine guns were poured over, sweeping away all the devils that appeared, and nearly [-] devils were killed in one blow.Those devils were not reconciled, so they looked for places to shoot at each other. Liu Jiahao was a little impatient, but the devils scratched his forehead.

At this time, there was a sudden chirping sound from the top of the opposite mountain, and then a mortar shell exploded slightly below the top of the mountain here, and the splashed stone chips hit the helmet with a loud noise.The devil's artillery is coming up!Liang Yu waved his hand, telling everyone to evacuate quickly, pull them to rest under the side cliff, and let the devils go to toss first.

The top of the mountain was "boiling", and the rocks and trees were flying everywhere in the rainstorm. The devils really spared no firepower. From the sound, there should be six grenadiers and four mortars.

At this time, Wen Zhong's artillery team had reached the mountainside. Liang Yu looked at the terrain and immediately ordered Wen Zhong's artillery team to walk towards a slightly lower hill about 300 meters away, and he and Fang San followed.Climbing up this small mountain, there is a small gap here, and in the heavy rain, you can barely see the figure of the devil on the top of the opposite mountain. The devil's artillery position is easy to judge, just behind the short peak opposite.

Liang Yu asked: "Old Wen, are you sure?" Wen Zhong squinted his eyes, raised his thumb and gestured towards that side a few times, and said with a smile: "No problem." Liang Yu patted his shirtless shoulders and said with a smile: " Alright, old smell, look at your Luo!"

Wen Zhong grinned, and immediately yelled at his subordinates to open an open space with engineer Sasa and arrange the two mortars.He drank a lot of data in his mouth, and the two skilled gunners kept adjusting the muzzle. When he was ready, Wen Zhong shouted: "Fire!" The two mortars fired, and landed precisely on the suspected devil. On the artillery position, I saw some steel fragments flying out of the mountain above the mountain, mixed with some red meat, and I was hit!

Wen Zhong immediately ordered a second round of shelling. After the second round, the devil's artillery had already failed.With a wave of Liang Yu's hand, Fang San and others immediately grabbed the top of the mountain again, and began beating the devils who dared to show their heads one after another.Wen Zhong blasted for four or five rounds, but the devil was nowhere to be seen. He looked at Liang Yu.Liang Yu looked at it with his head, and then let the artillerymen rest.This kind of random bombardment will not be very effective, and the shells will be wasted in vain.

After losing more than a dozen devils, they also began to learn to be good, and they didn't want to show their faces anymore.Fang San waited for a long time to look at it, but couldn't see a ghost, so they had to shrink back.The entire battlefield was silent again, but in the downstream direction, the devil's field artillery was still bombarding non-stop, there was a sound of thumping, but it was not so dense.

The rain is really endless now, and with the thunder, it is even more powerful.Staying in this barren mountain is really uncomfortable, the whole body is wet and uncomfortable, but fortunately it is July, the temperature is high, and I can still find a cool feeling.But I believe that the devils over there will not feel better, where will they go?They must all be huddled in the jungle and trembling.

This situation is also difficult for both sides. There is no way to retreat, no way to attack, no place to hide, and both sides are sitting quietly to water the rain.This kind of feeling is really uncomfortable. It’s okay to talk about having something to do, but if there is nothing to do, the rain will become a burden and a kind of discomfort.After being poured for a long time, Liang Yu became a little impatient, waiting quietly is not his style.He simply called everyone together, and said, "It's not an option to wait like this, it's easy to get gonorrhea. We either fight or withdraw. It's about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the devil just crossed the river , and it will be night when we enter Anqing. At that time, all the chiefs of staff should be withdrawn, and our mission is considered complete.”

Liu Jiahao was injured, although it was light, but he really couldn't bear it, he said anxiously: "Tuan Zuo, the devils are now frightened and easy to fight. They don't dare to show their heads, so why can't we fight over? Beat them hard, and it's not too late to withdraw!"

This is exactly what Liang Yu wants, he is a militant.It's a bit risky to fight like this. As the leader of the regiment, of course, he has to make some decisions, hold a democratic meeting, and make a show.He said: "The devils are the size of a brigade. Two or three hundred people died, and there are six or seven hundred more over there. Isn't this a little risky? Well, let's add up and share your opinions."

This group is full of blood-licking militants, needless to say, they all advocate taking the initiative to attack the opponent, and no one wants to retreat.But Liang Yu raised his face and said: "In war, we have few people, less than a fraction of the devils. All we can rely on is the terrain. Without the terrain, what are we going to do? Well, tell me, the opposite mountain will be What kind of terrain, where will those devils hide? Don't rush into the devil's den excitedly, you don't know how you will die!"

Liu Jiahao said: "Regimental Commander, Brother Wen fired a round of bombardment just now, and the devils on the mountain did not dare to show their heads. Then those devils can only hide here." He picked a branch and scratched it on the ground, pointing Fan.He also said: "Of course the vigilance of the devils is still very high. The large troops are resting there. After the shelling is over, there will definitely be no less than a small team of devils on the top of the mountain. The devils will definitely set up positions on the mountain, but if we Throw a few grenades from here, the damage will definitely be good, the devils are too dense, and it is not easy to hide on the hillside, it will definitely kill a lot of them!" He continued to analyze.

Liang Yu nodded secretly: "This guy is a general! He is bold but careful! He wants it." After summing up, Liang Yu decided: do it!The goal is very clear, throw ten or eight grenades into the pile of devils and retreat immediately, and then find a place to hide from the rain, it's uncomfortable to be poured by the rain!As for the devils of the Sixth Division, they can do whatever they like, so I don't bother to care about them!
