    Chapter 172 Guanshan

    (How do veterans judge new recruits? The one who gets excited when the enemy retreats is a fool; the one who exposes his body and snipers from behind when the enemy retreats is a good soldier; but only the one who fires two shots behind the enemy and immediately moves  Being able to become a veteran Excerpted from "My Memories of the Anti-Japanese War - Cao Xiaomin")

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!" There was a dense muffled sound in the sky, and dazzling white light suddenly spread down. You can see that the reflection at the foot of the mountain has changed. The dense reflective spots of the helmet suddenly upward like a rising tide.  The cold light on the bayonet was reflected into the eyes of the defender one after another, making people feel frightened!

    "Everyone, don't move when the flares come down. Stay still, the Japanese machine gunners can't see you!" The battlefield voices like broken gongs were roaring, but the veterans who told everyone not to move were moving themselves!  Because the position was mainly formed against mountains, the officers and soldiers did not have many tools to dig deep into the fortifications. The experienced veterans had to shout at everyone not to move while stumbling between various fire points to remind the inexperienced brothers.  ;The Japanese machine guns chased their moving figures

    "Kill" A group of Japanese soldiers rushed forward in dense numbers, three hundred meters, two hundred meters away Suddenly the Japanese soldiers rushing in front neatly threw themselves on the slope and stopped moving forward. They just kept shooting, and bullets hit the Kuomintang troops densely.  It was impossible to raise one's head in the bunker of officers and soldiers.  The Japanese engineers who followed were desperately digging bunkers, sometimes using explosives to blow up deep pits. After two days of fighting, the Japanese had discovered that the firepower of the opponents in front of them was far inferior to that of their opponents in Nanjing. They directly pushed the offensive position to two  Within 100 meters!

    "Teng Teng Teng, Teng Teng Teng" The Maxim heavy machine gun sprayed out fire after fire. In the dark night, you can clearly see the bullet entering the human body. The enemy's body twisted and flew away, rolling down the mountain

    "Boom! Boom!" Just a few seconds later, the machine gun position was hit by the grenade. The sand and stones set off by the explosion hit the machine gunners like a shower. Almost all the machine gunners felt the pain on their bodies at this moment.  They were in burning pain and their ears were blocked; but they did not stop shooting and continued to shoot wildly at the Japanese soldiers about two hundred meters in front of them

    ??A puff of white smoke suddenly appeared from the Japs' starting position, and then the air was filled with a strange "whoosh" sound. The Type 94 mortar opened fire, and 90mm grenades couldn't help but hit the Kuomintang machine gun position!

    "Boom!" In the loud noise and flames, you can often see the figures of soldiers who were blown up and flew out of the bunker "Quick, get on top!" As the commander shouted, the soldiers of the reserve team rushed forward without hesitation.  Machine gun, move away the fallen brother and continue firing

    The Japanese who followed continued to fill in the fortifications of the offensive position, and the commandos in front had already taken their breath. Suddenly, the dense crowd stood up: "Kill them!" Another round of strong attack!  This time, the starting point was very close, and the enemy's momentum was very strong. Looking from behind, it felt like they were in the frontline trenches all of a sudden, as if they were about to step into the position next!

    "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" Company and platoon commanders were everywhere on the position shouting at the top of their lungs. Soldiers in the forward positions began to reveal their bodies and fire at the enemy. "Bang, bang! Bang! Bang!"  The sound of Cantonese-made Mauser firing sounded together.  The reserve troops that kept pouring in behind were groping in the bunker to see which brothers had been martyred in the artillery attack or were seriously injured and unable to fight. They picked up the rifles of the dead and wounded and filled them in the shooting position to fire in each trench.  People kept falling in the crossfire, and it would not scare the recruits to see their death clearly in the dark night. They just continued to fill in, picked up their guns and fired.

    After a while, many corpses were added to each trench, even causing a blockage in the trenches; but the reserve team behind kept up with them. They stepped on the corpses of their brothers in the dark, and often tripped and fell.  What did he step on "Boom!" There was a loud noise, and a group of wounded people whose eyes were injured by splashes were supporting each other and putting their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them to retreat. They were hit by artillery shells and rolled over. Look.  The wounded who couldn't see anything screamed and reached out to grab everywhere, but they couldn't find anything - the brother who acted as eyes had been killed!  The cries of the helpless wounded can still reach the ears of the brothers despite the explosion of shells, making people tremble in their hearts

    "Pull the string three times before throwing it away!" the company commander ordered, and the entire position was shouting the same sentence to pass on the order Suddenly there was a loud "boom" somewhere in the trench, and shrapnel and shock waves rolled up.  The sand was splashing everywhere, and the brothers pulled the strings and were counting. They all lowered their heads like a conditioned reflex, and then threw the grenades out without even counting to two or three "Boom!" "Boom!" The sound of the explosion.  The fire went off one after another, and the large firelight blinded the eyes of the recruits who didn't know how to throw the grenade before lying down to avoid the shrapnel and dazzling fire No one would pay attention to the sound that was very close when they were calling the company commander's order.  ofThe explosion was not the Japanese grenade, but the company commander's own grenade that exploded!

    It was a low-quality grenade that exploded as soon as you pulled it. But even if you knew that such low-quality weapons were around, the training habits still made the officers and soldiers use the weapons according to the training method without knowing it; some veterans could survive a hundred battles.  Many veterans died in this confusion due to inferior munitions; in this grenade attack, more than one grenade was blown up in the trench

    "The Japanese have retreated!" A soldier who had just changed into a shooting position and got a gun was a little excited. He even forgot to take advantage of the opportunity for the enemy to retreat and shoot "Quickly, movequickly! It's just a feint attack, hurry up."  Move" The veterans were once again crawling and rolling around in the trenches filled with choking gunpowder smoke, asking the recruits to move quickly.

    "Boom! Boom!Bang! Bang!" Mortars, grenades almost all the Japanese firepower was concentrated in a few seconds, covering the important fire points of the Kuomintang army exposed in the previous round of firefights.  And the combat belt "It's terrible, it hurts me so much" A big soldier yelled after turning to a mound, and he let go of the machine gun barrel and started crying. The head of the dozens of kilograms of heavy machine gun lowered.  It caused the few people who were carrying it to fall to the ground!

    The big man raised his hands and saw that the linen padding had been burned hard by the hot gun barrel and stuck to his arms - his arms had been burned into two large, hard and browned calluses!

    Veterans have seen injuries like this. In less than half an hour, the entire arm will be red and swollen, and scary big blisters will appear like water bags. If it can get better, it will leave a big scar on the arm that will last a lifetime. If it is infected

    "Boom!" There was a violent explosion behind this group of machine gunners. Another machine gun group that had no time to move to a safe place was swept down by the violent explosion. The heavy machine gun fell to the ground, and a stream of steam was mixed with the smoke.  It roseperhaps praying silently for the unfortunate brothers, or perhaps marveling at one's own luck; the machine gunners of the machine gun team who ran out and were scalded all over looked blankly at their comrade lying on the ground.  and fell down like this?  Why doesn't anyone get up?  ¡­

    "What are you stunned for!? Move quickly" The machine gun squad leader appeared: "Quick, go over there, to that shooting position Come two people, carry the machine gun"

    A member of the reserve group rushed forward, picked up the heavy machine gun that had been blown to the ground, and followed the machine gun group in front to run to another reserve position.  Then another squad of reserve troops came. Some carried the helpless brothers on the ground and ran back, while others rushed to repair the original machine gun position that had been silenced by the bombing. The enemy had stopped attacking.  Collapsed shooting platform¡­

    "Kill me!" The sound of the Japs' charge came again. The Japs soldiers who had just retreated not long ago had been replaced by fresh troops, and the second wave of charges began immediately.  This wave of attacking groups was densely packed and dark. They were convinced that their artillery fire had destroyed the heavy firepower on the position, and started a group charge!

    "Hurry! Drive the machine gun" Each machine gun team rushed to the machine gun position with all their strength. The few Czechs on the position began to switch from burst firing to strafing The sound of rifles continued, and grenades continued to explode in front of the position.  Get up The heavy firepower of the Kuomintang army is still being transferred. The firepower of light machine guns and rifles failed to stop the tide of Japanese soldiers. Hand-to-hand combat immediately began in the first trench Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were about to rush to the trenches, they were afraid of being attacked.  The recruits who had been killed by the Japanese from above rushed out with a roar "àáàáàá, àáàáàá Ce ce ce" The machine gunners covering behind the Japs' stormtroopers and the heavy machine guns on the offensive position roared crazily.  Many Kuomintang soldiers who had just rushed out of the trenches or even just stood up were knocked down

    The tide of Japanese soldiers quickly flooded the trenches at the front "Da da da da" A burst of intensive gunfire suddenly rang out. It was the pistol team of the 138th Division's Special Agent Company who suddenly opened fire at the critical moment. More than 80 guns were fired.  "MP28" submachine guns and thirty Mauser 20-guns suddenly appeared in front of the Japs' stormtroopers. Bullets poured down like a torrential rain. The Japs who had rushed to the position and were showing their power with bayonets fell down in large dominoes, and the entire attack was suddenly completed.  The wave rolled back like a huge wave hitting the rock wall

    The pistol team is mostly a special equipment unit of an important unit of the Kuomintang army or a senior officer. The pistol team is actually equipped with MP28 submachine guns.  Sometimes in an army with almost no machine guns in company-level units, the top officer's guard pistol team can have dozens or hundreds of submachine guns!  (The Northwest Army and the Sichuan Army liked this set the most, represented by Yan Xishan and Han Fuqu.) This abnormal configuration happened to work at this time. I never dreamed that I would encounter a general who was blocking the enemy here and was beaten to a pulp.  !

    "Good fight!" Zhong Yi, who personally led the counterattack with a submachine gun, cheered loudly "Teng Teng Teng!Teng Teng Teng!"?The heavy machine guns that had just been set up came to life one after another, and the chains of fire swept everything in the dark The Japanese at the front of the Kuomintang army's position were driven back to the offensive position like falling leaves by the strong wind!

    As soon as the Japanese attacking troops, who had been killed as if they had lost their souls, retreated to the offensive position, the Kuomintang army position was covered by artillery fire. Orange flames exploded everywhere on the dark position, and smoke and dust formed a gray cloud above the Guanshan position.  A giant mushroom-shaped shield covering the sky and the moon, as if it was about to come down and swallow all the people below

    "Kill me" The Japanese actually launched a non-stop attack!  Based on the experience of the previous two days of fighting, the Japanese had formulated the operational strategy of destroying the enemy with a strong attack, but they did not expect that they would encounter a force in such a place that was not considered a strategic location.  It was the best-equipped unit in the Thirty-first Army. Unexpectedly, the unit covering the evacuated refugees was actually the most elite force in the entire army facing the Kuomintang army!

    It¡¯s hard to get off the tiger, and new orders from the rear haven¡¯t come yet. The Japanese commander on the offensive position gritted his teeth and drove the soldiers up again

    In the blank zone of the Japanese fire attack, in a place where there was no counterattack fire during the two fierce exchanges of fire, two heavy machine guns were quietly pushed out - Hotchkiss M1930 large-caliber machine guns!  The treasure of the 823rd Regiment of the Guangxi Army, two 13.2mm heavy machine guns donated by the French, which have little ammunition but should be used with caution, are on the scene!  In the 823rd Regiment, they were used as machine guns. They would only be pushed out when the opponent's machine gun position or the main firepower point of the offensive position had been identified in a large-scale battle; this night, they actually fought after a break.  Appeared in the sniper war!

    "Everythingall" Large-caliber machine gun bullets, which were twice as thick as the enemy's rifle bullets, suddenly hit the midfielder. The densely charging Japanese troops were knocked down like a landslide, but the heavy firepower from behind  However, his sight was obscured by the diffuse gunpowder smoke, and he failed to spot these two big guys The violent blows swept across the charging Japs, extending the firepower to the Japs' offensive positions, those simple field fortifications, and the parapets made of sandbags.  It was impossible to intercept 13.2mm large-caliber bullets at this distance, and they were beaten like a honeycomb; the Japanese firepower points behind the fortifications were cleared one by one

    "Retreat!" The late order finally arrived, and the Japanese on the offensive position were finally withdrawn. The experienced veterans took the opportunity to fire desperately in the smoke, beating the remaining enemies from behind

    Two soldiers quickly arrived in front of Zhong Yi carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher was the second battalion commander with blood on his face.

    "Brigadeleave some seeds for our 823rd Regiment" The tears on the battalion commander's face were pouring down, and the blood turned his face into a terrible sight: "Bridge, before the Japanese heavy artillery attack  Start bombing, retreat, we can't fight" The seriously injured battalion commander didn't bother to let people carry him down for treatment, but he carried him to Zhong Yi.

    The most elite regiment of the Thirty-first Army fought against a conventional combat brigade of the Thirteenth Japanese Division in one round, and the Second Battalion, which had an absolute geographical advantage on Guanshan Mountain, was almost completely destroyed!  Under the attack of heavy artillery and all kinds of heavy firepower, the Second Battalion, which entered the battle from the beginning, was either killed or injured. Now the main force on the position is actually the division headquarters secret agent company and brigade headquarters security company troops brought by Zhong Yi!

    The thick and lingering smell of gunpowder smoke unique to the war made the recruits very uncomfortable, and coughing sounds could be heard from everywhere on the position; in the darkness, one could see the engineer company coming up from the rear transporting the wounded and corpses.  The recruits, who were excited after repelling the Japanese, lost their emotions.  They found that many brothers who had been joking together during the day were missing. They were looking for them. In the trenches and on every position, some brothers were found, and the bodies of some brothers were found At first, some people were holding their bodies.  The corpse of the brother who had just been found started to cry, and the cry slowly filled the air

    "Brothers, hide behind the mountains! Don't leave anyone here except the observation post" A veteran shouted at the top of his lungs, but few people listened to him. Although he was still a hero in everyone's minds, at this moment everyone's hearts were already broken.  Occupied by sadness

    "Didn't you hear the order? Hurry!" Zhong Yi quickly jumped up from the second battalion commander and gave the order - he is still on the battlefield. If he just ignores his sorrow and doesn't think about what to do next, he will probably be able to do it next time.  During the attack, these sad warriors will become the object of sadness for other warriors!

    "Everyone listen to Company Commander Li! Hurry!Now I appoint Company Commander Li Bin as the acting commander of the Second Battalion!" Zhong Yi looked back at the Second Battalion Commander, and ordered the orderer beside him: "Hurry back to Zhulong immediately,  Bring me the first battalion!"

    The second battalion commander gasped on the stretcher: The first battalion of the 823rd Regiment is all veterans from Guizhou. It is the only veteran battalion in the army and the best among the best in the army - even veterans are on board.  Got it!  Zhong Yi's next words almost made the second battalion commander faint immediately: "Let the third battalion prepare for street fighting in Zhulong and send troops immediately."??The favorable terrain of all the hills, lakes, swamps, fields and ridges outside Zhulong"

    "Quickly, carry me down, directly to Zhulong" The second battalion commander held on to his dizzy head and quietly ordered the soldiers carrying the stretcher: "We can't let all the brothers in the 823rd Regiment die. Go to Zhulong.  Go to the regiment commander and send a report to the division headquarters"

    "Li Battalion Commander, look at when the Japanese will attack again" Zhong Yi found Li Bin, who was directing the soldiers to dig anti-artillery holes on the back slope of the mountain, to discuss the next battle.

    "Soon, it may start right away"

    "How could it be? The Japanese casualties were so heavy" Zhong Yi couldn't believe it. He felt that the Japanese would not attack until dawn at least.

    "The Japanese want to catch a big fishhundreds of submachine guns are firing in volleys, so why should a general be guarding them? A large-caliber machine gun, good guy, I've only seen that thing in an air defense battalion once in Nanjing"  Li Bin's face became serious: "If I were a Japanese officer, I would attack as soon as I get such information!"

    After listening to Li Bin's analysis, Zhong Yi immediately felt as if his head was as big as a fight: Originally, he thought that as long as everyone fought tenaciously enough, the Japanese might slow down and attack more carefully; if they held on for another half day, the refugees after a night's rest would be able to  We can escape to Dingyuan smoothly.  But now he has used the division's special agent company that happens to be working with him Oops!  The Japs won't care about a group of refugees, but they will care about a general!

    As if to confirm Li Bin's analysis, a burst of dark red light approached from the distant sky, and a hissing sound of tearing air came - the heavy artillery group struck, the Japanese attacked again!

    The sound of gunfire!  The sound of artillery attack!  !  The rumble of artillery in the distance stopped the soldiers marching in the wilderness.

    "Going northeast and bypassing the Quanjiao War Zone, we may reach the rear smoothly." Cao Xiaomin said: "But our old brothers must be where there are gunfire. Everyone, do we go northwest or northeast?"

    "Northwest!"

    The soldiers unanimously chose the direction with the sound of cannons, where there is fighting and brothers!
