    Chapter 658: Hitting a wall

    The Japanese army's giant artillery hit Huangyadong's third line of defense, causing trees to fly in disorder, rocks to collapse, and being riddled with holes. From the telescopes of senior Japanese army officers, what they saw was that this piece of land was constantly being destroyed by violent and huge forces.  Twisted and beaten, a loud noise blew up a rock and brought up a tree. No one could survive under such bombardment.  (Baidu search,)

    The soldiers in the firepower point were suffering great pain. The ammunition boxes piled up like a hill shook and collapsed, almost burying several soldiers underneath. Although the division commander had a way to resist the shock wave, the huge sound wave  Still mercilessly getting into the ears of the soldiers, the soldiers lying on the thick cotton quilt were like a boat bumping in a storm, which could capsize at any time, their hearts were beating violently, and they were extremely depressed.

    However, it was limited to this. After the soldiers got over the initial discomfort, they gradually settled down. All the firepower points and bunkers of the third line of defense were modeled after natural caves. After artificial transformation, they formed an underground transportation network extending in all directions.  The network can quickly mobilize troops to support various firepower points.

    The mountainsides of several mountains were almost hollowed out, and an airtight crossfire formed on both sides. It was several kilometers deep and topped by nearly a hundred meters of rock and soil. Such fortifications and bunkers could maximize the  To play its role, Tang Qiuli considered at the beginning of the design that if Huangya Cave was besieged by heavy Japanese troops or was besieged for a long time, all designs were carried out in accordance with this principle.

    The combat team leaders of each firepower point stayed at the observation holes and closely monitored the movements of the Japanese troops. These were veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles. Most of them served as squad platoon leaders and constituted the main body of the combat effectiveness of each unit of the ** division.  Everyone has a record of killing enemies. In the trenches in the field, he would not even blink when faced with the charging Japs. What's more, in the hidden area where the shells cannot collapse and the Japs can't climb out, he fights the Japs.  The Japanese are as relaxed as smoking a cigarette.

    The leader of the combat team guarding the first entrance is Hao Jinjia. He is a veteran who has been in the army for more than two years. He is only in his twenties this year. He serves as the platoon leader in the second battalion of the third regiment of Ma Chaoyang Brigade. He attended high school for several years before joining the army.  In the ** division, he is also considered an intellectual, and he is extremely smart in fighting. His platoon is well-known throughout the brigade, and the regiment has already considered promoting him to the position of company commander. Otherwise, he would not be guarding the throat of Huangyadong.  An import task was entrusted to him.

    The Japanese shelling stopped. Hao Jinjia looked up at the situation outside, dusted himself off, and called to the soldiers, "Get up, it's time to work." The Japanese troops rushing into the valley should be the size of a brigade, wearing khaki military uniforms.  , a stream of sewage flowed across the bottom of the valley, and he was happy. In such a narrow terrain, so many people rushed in at once, weren't they just waiting to be beaten?  They say the little devil is cunning, but now he is as stupid as a donkey.

    This is not to blame Okamura Neiji for not being able to command the battle. With the experience of the previous two times, the soldiers rushed to clean the battlefield and occupy the position. This time was no exception. He thought more carefully and looked at the terrain around Huangya Cave.  Look, this should be the last line of defense. Neji Okamura doesn't have extravagant expectations. The giant cannon can kill all the more than 50,000 Chinese soldiers inside. If he sends a small group of troops in, the Chinese soldiers who are trapped and fighting will be surrounded by counter-attacks.  causing unnecessary losses.

    Therefore, Okamura Neiji deployed a brigade of troops at once to deliver the final fatal blow. After rushing into Huangya Cave, sporadic battles were inevitable. Sufficient troops were the prerequisite for victory. This was how he faced off against all levels of his subordinates.  What the officers said made them gasp in amazement. Your Excellency the Commander is really cautious and not careless in the face of the remnants of the Chinese troops who have lost their ability to resist. Looking back on themselves, I feel more and more that Your Excellency the Commander is very foresighted in his use of troops.

    Being admired and flattered by your subordinates is a very useful thing, and the calm and ruthless Okamura Neiji is no exception. The red light on his face has already shown his mood at this time. He has a chance to win. It was originally planned to be three days.  It only takes a day and a half to end. Unexpectedly, the next target of action is Tang Qiuli's troops outside Shijiazhuang, another main force. Neji Okamura's thoughts have already left this and he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.  battlefield, and began to plan the next battle plan.

    Hao Jinjia stopped the soldiers who were about to throw the grenades. Looking at their puzzled looks, Hao Jinjia said: "You don't have any brains. We are the first point of fire. As soon as they hit, the little Japs will retreat. When the fight starts later,  When the little Japs can't stand it anymore and retreat, let's close the door tightly so that no one can escape." The soldiers suddenly realized.

    Seeing that all the Japanese troops had entered the valley, and there was no sound of gunfire behind them, Hao Jinjia couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He piled grenades beside him, and had two heavy machine guns and three Czech light machine guns ready to fire. He gave each heavy machine gun  Three ammunition handlers were equipped to ensure uninterrupted firepower, and bundles of guns were pulled out with fuses.

    He knew it well, so heWith his firepower, none of the little devils could even think of running back. After finishing his work, he leaned against the stone wall comfortably, closed his eyes and took a nap. The silent valley became furious, and suddenly appeared on the steep and knife-like rock walls on both sides.  Countless small black dots rolled down like black birds all over the sky, with ominous white smoke and "chichi" sounds, and they continued to expand in the frightened eyes of the Japanese soldiers.

    "The enemy is attacking quickly, disperse and take cover!" the Japanese commander yelled at the top of his lungs. He had just enough time. The men and horses of a brigade were all crowded in a valley. Throwing a stone at random could hit their head, not to mention a grenade.  I know which smart soldier, after pulling the fire, delayed for a few seconds before throwing it out. The grenade exploded in the air, and the hot shrapnel rotated into the body of the Japanese soldier. The helmet did not work at all. The brain of the Japanese soldier at the center of the explosion exploded.  , the headless body still ran for a few steps before slumping down.

    At this time, the soldiers all became enlightened and followed suit. Black smoke balls exploded above the heads of the Japanese soldiers. Shrapnel roared, covering all the space. There were no blind spots. No matter how the Japanese soldiers ran, they were everywhere.  It was a grenade that exploded in the air, and there were bundles of ** that rolled down. The explosive power of this thing was many times greater than a single grenade. Where the ** exploded, the Japanese soldiers turned into a pile of minced meat and internal organs.  Mixed with blood, it splashed on the faces of the soldiers around him.

    In the valley several kilometers long, huge explosions echoed continuously, and the sound was muffled. Although it was not as majestic as the Japanese cannon, it was extremely lethal. The sudden explosion woke up the wandering Okamura Neiji, and he picked up his telescope.  , observing the situation in the valley, nothing could be seen clearly except for the smoke of gunfire. I didn't see a single imperial soldier withdrawing. Could it be that they exchanged fire with the remaining Chinese soldiers in Huangya Cave?

    He suspiciously ordered the communications team to immediately call Kurosawa Shota, the commander of the brigade leading the attack, to find out what was going on inside and whether follow-up support was needed. Why was there such a violent explosion but no gunshots? Things were so weird.  , the communication soldier called loudly, but there was no movement at all on the walkie-talkie. Okamura Neiji ordered without looking back, "Keep calling," and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart.

    The commander of the Kurosawa Shota brigade can no longer answer the questions in the heart of the commander. He may be the most unlucky Japanese major general brigade commander in the Battle of Huangyadong. He followed the second regiment of his headquarters and rode on  Standing on a tall horse, wearing snow-white gloves, and a golden general's star, setting off his arrogant and cold square face, this is an extremely bloodthirsty Japanese general. During his military career, he was famous for his bravery in combat and his love of killing.

    He especially liked to torture and kill young women from occupied countries. From North Korea to the Northeast, he tortured and killed at least more than 300 women. He once set a Kwantung Army record of killing eleven women in one day. His subordinates discussed privately,  Your Excellency, the brigade commander, seems to have a morbid hobby for women's blood. Such a murderous maniac, when he first arrived in North China, he couldn't wait to start committing crimes. Many Tianjin women were murdered by him.  .

    Now, his golden Major General collar badge has become a reminder. There are at least dozens of sniper rifles aimed at his head, but Kurosawa Shota has no idea and is still urging his subordinates, "Hurry up!" Chang Feng ordered  , while the overwhelming grenades were still rolling in the sky, Kurosawa Shota became the first target to be hit. It was not a shot, but dozens of high-explosive bullets from sniper rifles, which simultaneously hit his short, stubby figure.  body.

    Kurosawa didn't even have a chance to scream. Dozens of blood holes appeared on his body. His whole body was torn apart. He was shot at least three times in the forehead. His white brains followed the shattered skull and splashed all over the guards around him.  His head and face were covered, and before Kurosawa's body fell to the ground, at least four or five grenades exploded in the air, again destroying this evil guy's mutilated body. Kurosawa Shota and the Yangma under him,  It turned into a rain of blood, and no evidence of survival could be found.

    This was also the second senior Japanese officer at the major general level who was killed after the Battle of Huangyadong. After the war, dozens of snipers believed that the Japanese major general was killed by one shot. They couldn't argue and the lawsuit went on forever.  Chang Feng, the division chief of staff, also had a headache. Every sniper could find witnesses, so he had to report the situation to the division commander Tang Qiuli.

    Tang Qiuli was straightforward. All the snipers who participated in the battle and killed the Japanese Major General Kurosawa Shota were awarded fourth-class merit and were awarded the honorary title of sharpshooter. Each of them was awarded two hundred yuan. In the Dingbian Daily and Evening News,  Their large-scale photos and heroic deeds were published. This was a big deal. Those sharpshooters with accurate marksmanship were so jealous that they tried their best to exchange the heads of Japanese soldiers for honors. This gave rise to the bitterness of the Japanese soldiers.  In the days of refining marksmanship, a large number of special shooters emerged, making the Japanese soldiers miserable.

    The Japanese communications soldier who shouted hoarsely failed to contact the leader of the Kurosawa Brigade, Okamura NeijiThe Japanese soldiers arrived, but instead of returning in triumph, they fled. Seeing their panic, Okamura Neji was speechless for a while.
