    Du Kaishan stayed behind reluctantly, while Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun led the headquarters towards Pangjiadian in the north of Tangyuan. But it was already bright at this time.  [.Com text] Under the harassment of Japanese aircraft, Yang Zhen, who was always on guard against air attacks, was not marching very fast even in mountainous areas.

    As for Masao Iwabe, who was captured and now completely freed, Colonel Kahei Nochi, who was currently concentrating on replacing two-thirds of the casualties and losing combat effectiveness of the 89th Regiment, was attacking General Ishiyama's front line.  But it was a lot of complaining.

    Not only is the opponent's resistance extremely tenacious, but its artillery tactics are too powerful.  Although under the threat of aviation, group shooting is rarely adopted.  But from time to time, he would give himself a try, but this time he could kill himself at any time.

    In the battle on the south bank of the Songhua River, the 24th Division almost lost its main artillery force.  However, the two field artillery brigades of the Kwantung Army's direct artillery that replaced them have yet to be seen.  The field detachment, which had lost the support of artillery firepower, could only stumble forward cautiously and brave the opponent's cold shots on the road full of mines.

    When we finally arrived at the front line of General Shishan at great cost, we found that our opponents had already been waiting for them.  The successive attacks launched by the field detachment without heavy fire cover were like a big lang that hit the seawall in the face of the opponent's intensive fire. They got nothing except bursts of langs.

    "The opponent often took advantage of the artillery cover to launch small-scale tactical counterattacks, but Jiaping often hit the field and was miserable.  Many times, under the cover of aviation troops during the day, I managed to capture a mountain leg.  But before the butt could sit firmly, at night, the opponent took it back under the cover of fierce artillery fire.

    The opponent's artillery has become a nightmare for almost all officers and soldiers of the field detachment.  Especially that kind of strange artillery with long fireworks on its tail, it will cause casualties as soon as it appears.  In the end, the field detachment did not dare to easily gather more than one squadron of troops anywhere on the front line.

    Although the aviation force, under the supervision of Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi, even stopped bombing the Luobei area and dispatched a large number of aircraft many times to search for these cunning artillery, it had no effect at all.

    When your plane is in the sky, they won¡¯t show up at all.  It was just in the form of a single artillery piece, taking the time to fire a burst of cold artillery from time to time to provide necessary fire support for its position.

    But the aviation force cannot hover in the sky twenty-four hours a day. He needs to refuel and add bombs.  When night falls, the aviation troops have to fly back to rest.  Once the aviation forces leave, there's no telling when these weird artillery units will appear again.  From time to time, they would assemble and fire on all targets such as field detachment positions and assembly areas.

    These anti-Manchu armed forces cleverly dismantled the artillery and adopted dispersed guerrilla tactics. They also arranged many false targets to lure aviation into their trap.  After the aviation aircraft discovered these false targets and dived, the surrounding areas had already concealed anti-aircraft firepower and opened fire.  The aviation force lost a lot of aircraft, and seven Type 97 light bombers were turned into fireballs.

    ??Under the circumstances where the losses of the aviation force were heavy but the results were few.  In order to eliminate these nasty, parasite-like artillery, Colonel Noji Kahei even did not hesitate to weaken the strength of the frontal attack.  A large number of small troops organized into reinforced squads were organized to carry air navigation equipment and penetrate behind the opponent's positions to find and eliminate these nasty bugs.  Even if it can indicate the target for the aviation forces in the sky.

    It¡¯s just that Noji Kahei¡¯s painstaking efforts obviously didn¡¯t have much effect.  Many small troops like this were sent out, but not many came back.  Most of them disappeared into the vast mountains of General Stone Mountain, and not one of them completed their mission.  After several defeats, Nochi Kahei no longer dared to continue this kind of action that was not worth the gain.

    Faced with the current situation, Colonel Kahei Nochi was helpless. He could only urge the artillerymen behind to catch up as soon as possible, and at the same time bite the bullet and launch a frontal attack honestly.  Fortunately, the aviation force's dedicated cover and all-out bombing of the General Shixian Mountains gave him some comfort.

    And behind on the south bank of the Songhua River, Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi, who was personally waiting for General Umezu to strengthen the two independent field artillery brigades of the 24th Division, did not wait long.  On the same day that the light headquarters led by Yang Zhen had completed its turn, Ben Bo, with two reinforced field artillery brigades from the Kwantung Army headquarters, hurriedly arrived at General Shixian to join the battle.

    With the fire support of the artillery, Colonel Kahei Nochi, who had been half-dead in the attack before, immediately returned the favor.  Under the personal supervision of Lieutenant General Genbo, the troops of the two brigades were concentrated along both sides of the Jiamusi to Heli railway line, regardless of firepower.After a while, they took turns launching a pig-like charge.

    With Nochi Kahei going crazy, Wang Guangyu, who was guarding the front, felt the pressure doubled.  The Japanese ground-to-air firepower that served as cover almost ignored the cost. The average number of aerial bombs dropped at the General Shi first-line position was more than 200 every day, and the number of 75mm mountain artillery shells was even more than a thousand.  The surface position of General Shixian was bombed into ruins under the almost crazy firepower of the Japanese army.

    Coupled with the early strategic bombing of the entire Luobei, Tangyuan, Binsui and other places, the Japanese army's bomb reserves at Jiamusi Airport were rapidly declining.  Since the amount of supplements that needed to be transported from the Shenyang Arsenal to Jiamusi was far less than the consumption, on the third day of the Battle of Shogun Shi, Lieutenant General Teramoto Kumaichi, commander of the Japanese Air Force's Second Flying Group stationed in Jiamusi, had to limit the number of supplies per day.  Number of bombs dropped.

    Change the original horizontal bombing style of casting a net in the sky into fixed-point dive bombing with higher accuracy.  Although this will cause certain battle losses under the opponent's ground fire, it is still much better than completely interrupting air support.  Although the number of bombs dropped by the Japanese aviation forces was strictly controlled from the third day of the battle, Wang Guangyu was still under fire pressure that he had never endured before.

    Under the Japanese army's investment of firepower regardless of cost, and Noji Kahei's life-threatening attack regardless of losses, which was supported by artillery firepower, the original blocking battle that was easy to fight suddenly became tense.  The general's stone line is the final blocking line drawn by Yang Zhen for Wang Guangyu. Behind it is the Xingshan Fortress area and Luobei, the base camp that Yang Zhen regards as his fundamental location.

    In order to prevent the Japanese army from entering the northern part of Luobei and Heli, Wang Guangyu changed his previous tactics of using the terrain to fight against each other and stubbornly resisted the heavy siege of the Japanese army with the preset position of Jiangjun Shixian.

    Fortunately, after Yang Zhen took over the Fuxingshan Fortress, he knew that General Shixian was the choke point for Luobei and Heli to prevent the Japanese troops from going north from Jiamusi.  A lot of preparations had already been made. Not only did they build a large number of field fortifications on this line, but they also concentrated two engineering companies based on the technical labor liberated from the fortress, and used the large amount of steel bars captured in the Xingshan Fortress.  , cement, and built a large number of permanent firepower points and support points.

    Wang Guangyu used these completed fortifications and firepower points to launch a battle for every inch of land with the Japanese field detachment.  Almost every inch of land has to be fought over repeatedly by both parties before the ownership can finally be determined.  After only three days of fighting, the two infantry brigades attacked by the field detachment had suffered more than half of their casualties, and Wang Guangyu's main regiment was also beaten into half a disability.

    The most intense place where the battle broke out was not the main peak position of Jiangjun Stone, but a small highland on the right wing of the main peak. It was not very high, but it was located at the center of the entire defense line and formed an angle with the main peak position.  .

    A company stuck on this high ground was attacked by an infantry brigade, two field artillery squadrons, and five aircraft. Although there were preset positions to rely on, it still suffered casualties in just one day.  ember.

    In order to recapture this high ground, which was crucial to the entire defense line, Wang Guangyu used the reserve team of the two battalions on hand, which had the strongest offensive ability.  After a whole night and more than half a day of fierce fighting, with the two sides changing hands many times and the Japanese army's offensive capabilities exhausted, the once critical situation in this extremely important highland was stabilized.

    Although the high ground was finally recovered and finally controlled, the battalion that was the first to enter the battle among the only two battalions of reserves Wang Guangyu had on hand also suffered two-thirds casualties.  There was a complete infantry battalion when we went up, but when we came down, there was only less than one company left.  Except for the deputy battalion commander who was slightly injured, all the cadres above the company, including the battalion commander and instructor, were killed in action.

    The huge casualties and the hard battle to finally determine the ownership of even a small position not only put the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line under unimaginable pressure, but also Wang Guangyu, who set up the command post on the main peak position.  Also under great pressure.

    Watching the companies at hand being thrown into a battle that was almost like a bottomless pit one by one, the huge number of casualties made Wang Guangyu, who had been fighting smoothly since the formation of the unit, shed tears of distress.

    Since the Japanese army launched an all-out attack, in less than two days, one of his absolute main regiments that had been holding on to the front line had suffered casualties of one-half, and almost all of the company and platoon leaders at the grassroots level had been replaced.

    Wang Guangyu¡¯s stubborn resistance meant that even though the field detachment had strong ground and air fire cover, its progress was still slow.  Wang Guangyu's main regiment suffered more than half casualties, and the attacking field detachment suffered even greater casualties.  The field detachment composed of the two brigades of the 32nd Regiment that survived the shelling and the temporarily transferred infantry brigade of the 22nd Regiment was also disabled after two days of fierce fighting

    After three days of fierce fighting, the two main attacking brigades completely lost their offensive capabilities. Not only did the 22nd Regiment's brigade that attacked the right-wing high ground of the main peak, after a day of fierce fighting, the number of people who could be taken out alive was less than three points during the attack.  one.  In other words, in just one day, Wang Guangyu destroyed a whole battalion.  Nochi Kahei also fought through a whole brigade.

    To use the words of a veteran of the 22nd Regiment who participated in a series of fierce battles such as the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Xuzhou within the establishment of the 11th Division, the 22nd Regiment, which fought against many Chinese troops on the battlefield inside the China Pass, is still  It was the first time I encountered a squadron with such a strong fighting spirit and such strong determination to fight to the death. The key was that it was so well-trained, and almost all of them were based on the combat characteristics of the Japanese army.

    Unexpectedly, in just three days, Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiro, who had the absolute advantage of air and ground fire cover, lost the ability to attack the field detachment. Under the constant supervision of General Umezu Yoshijiro, he could only protect his flanks as a reserve team.  The 40th Regiment attached to the 24th Division replaced the field detachment.

    Lieutenant General Genbo, who was eager to break through the blockade of General Shi's front-line defenders, replaced the half-crippled field detachment with the 40th Regiment.  But he didn't expect that an elite team of his opponent had been traveling day and night, and secretly made a detour back to his flank.

    Not only did Genbo not realize that his opponent had circled back to his flank, but Wang Guangyu, who was commanding the troops in General Shi Zhufeng's own command post and tenaciously blocked the Japanese army, did not know that his friendly troops had already arrived close to him and were waiting.  The 25th Division gradually consumed its own blood during the attack.

    When the 40th Regiment, which had been recuperating before, came in, Wang Guangyu, who was already feeling a little strenuous, felt the pressure increase greatly.  Compared with the previous 22nd Regiment and the 32nd Regiment, this 40th Regiment drawn from the elite 10th Division of the Japanese Army not only has no inferior tactical level, but its fierce fighting will is even better.  above it.  This can be seen from the code name of the 11th Division to which it originally belonged.

    When the offensive launched by them was repelled, these Japanese troops did not return to their starting positions, but stuck there like nails, shooting at their opponents on the spot.  Its accurate shooting and skilled combination of infantry tactics brought much greater pressure to the front-line positions than the field detachment.

    Even when Wang Guangyu was observing the fighting situation, the telescope in his hand was shattered by a shot from a Japanese soldier four hundred meters away because it was shaken by the sun and exposed the target.  If this guy's shooting distance was not too far and there was a telescope blocking it, this shot would definitely kill Wang Guangyu.

    Looking at the German-made Zeiss telescope that Yang Zhen gave to him after he became the regiment leader. There were only a few of them in the entire army with full Japanese equipment, but it was now smashed to pieces. Wang Guangyu was so distressed that he ignored the presence of himself.  The subordinates yelled in a very dishonorable manner: "You guys, these bastards, will not die in peace. This is the telescope that the commander personally gave to me, and it was destroyed in your hands like this."

    I feel sorry for the fact that this telescope has a long observation range and much better resolution than the captured Japanese telescopes currently used in large numbers in the army. However, due to the limited number, except for the reconnaissance battalion and some artillery units, only the three original telescopes were issued to the main force.  Wang Guangyu, who is a cadre of cadres and above, jumped at the German-made Zeiss telescope.

    He knew how much Brigadier Wang treasured this telescope, and no one except the several combat staff who hugged him when he slept dared to say anything to persuade him.  They also knew that the reason that made the brigade commander lose his temper was not only the telescope he loved so much, but also the increasing pressure on the front line.

    Just as Wang Guangyu was cursing, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Why have you become so out of touch? Isn't it just a telescope? I'll give you another one. Is it worth this? You  Where has his maturity and stability gone?¡±
