    The situation of the war is now completely clear.  The independent division has three brigades and nine regiments, and it has an absolute advantage in terms of strength. Countless soldiers rushed out from the hidden woods and thatch bushes, raised their guns, and greeted the Jimao Regiment desperately.  "The officers and soldiers of the New Second Division who "escaped" removed their camouflage straps, threw away their walking sticks, took guns, and launched a countercharge against the Japanese army.  In just a short moment, Jimao United completed the transition between offense and defense, and its firepower was completely suppressed from the beginning.  There is a machine gun position halfway up the mountainside at the eastern foot of Kenwu Mountain, and the flames from hundreds of machine guns enveloped the entire canyon.  At the mortar position on the top of the mountain, hundreds of 60 and 81 mortars were fired simultaneously, making a muffled sound, and the dense shells knocked the Japanese to the ground one by one.  I have never experienced such fierce firepower. In less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of Japanese soldiers fell to this three-dimensional attack. Blood and broken limbs could be seen everywhere.  Colonel Yoshimoro waved his saber, and while issuing orders to the captains through the messengers, he directed the Japanese soldiers around him to rush towards the mouth of the canyon in the north Although he didn't know what the battle situation was like ahead, the huge smoke caused by the continuous explosions,  It has shrouded the canyon area between Meichi Ridge and Kenwu Mountain.  Komatsubara said that the secret route was not good, so he mobilized the 71st Regiment to quickly reinforce the Yoshimori Regiment, and at the same time asked the communications staff to call Junroku Den, requesting him to send aviation troops to support the Yoshimori Regiment.  At the northern foot of Kenwu Mountain, on a high ground covered by several big trees next to the independent division headquarters, Yin Dizhong accompanied Wu Ming to check on the fighting situation at the foot of the mountain.  "In this ambush, the most elite 1st and 2nd regiments sealed the mouth of the canyon at the north end. The other seven regiments surrounded the Jimao Regiment. In addition, the six regiments of the new 2nd Division counterattacked. The little Japs couldn't escape."  This battle was the first time that the independent division participated in such a large-scale battle since its establishment, and Yin Dizhong seemed a little excited.  "The firepower configuration is quite good, covering the canyon in all directions, leaving no blind spots." Wu Ming carefully observed the battlefield and commented: "Although the battle situation is one-sided, we must not take it lightly We must not relax until the last moment of the battle.  " "Yes" Yin Dizhong nodded solemnly.  A fierce battle was going on in the canyon. Colonel Yoshimo gathered his elite troops and tried desperately to break out towards the mouth of the canyon in the north. However, the two regiments of the New Second Division, one on the left and one on the right, acted like roadblocks. The dense bullets and flying grenades blocked the mouth of the canyon.  The ground was blocked, and a distance of less than 200 meters became a death zone for the Japanese army.  Colonel Yoshimo immediately ordered to seize a high ground at the southern end of the canyon entrance, and then concentrated all the grenades he could collect to bombard the canyon entrance. The grenades fired from the grenades fell like raindrops on the garrison position at the canyon entrance, causing fireballs in the trenches.  The surging and flying shrapnel left the officers and soldiers of the First and Second Regiments of the Independent Division with nowhere to hide, and many people were beaten into a hornet's nest by the shrapnel.  The heavy and light machine guns used by the Japanese army fired dense bullets, row after row, towards the canyon entrance position. The bullets sent sand and rocks flying in front of and behind the formations. Many independent division officers and soldiers were hit by machine gun bullets as soon as they showed up.  The bullets fired by the Japanese sharpshooters accurately hit the flaming fire points, and some light and heavy machine guns quickly misfired.  Without any hesitation, the deputy shooter immediately stepped in and just fired a string of bullets when he was hit by a Japanese sharpshooter again.  With the support of this wave of firepower, about 400 Japanese soldiers rushed to the high ground at the mouth of the canyon. Suddenly, a row of spinning grenades flew out of the position, fell in front of the Japanese army and exploded. Many Japanese soldiers were killed in the smoke.  He was quickly returned to the arms of Amaterasu.  The little devil's reaction speed was very fast. The grenades and grenades thrown by the grenades immediately poured over the trenches of the Independent Division like a heavy rain. Hot flames rolled out of the trenches, and many officers and soldiers were covered in cloth in the blink of an eye.  A sieve full of blood holes.  One of the machine gunners got red-eyed, so Yu Jian jumped out of the trench, stood on the edge of the trench and picked up a Czech light machine gun and swept across it. Unfortunately, before he could finish a magazine, machine gun bullets rained down and hit his body.  Countless smoking bloody holes immediately appeared on his body, and the machine gunner fell into the trench.  "His Majesty the Emperor, Itazai" Groups of Japanese soldiers, under the command of officers and sergeants wielding command swords, lined up as skirmishers and rushed towards the defenders' positions.  Seeing that the position was about to be broken through by the Japanese army, suddenly about a company of reinforcements rushed out from the communication ditch. They picked up the submachine guns in their hands and fired wildly.  The Japanese who were approaching the front of the position were suddenly hit head-on by submachine guns at close range. Eighty or ninety of them were knocked down immediately. Some of the surviving Japanese soldiers lay down and others jumped into the ditch.  The distance between the two sides was very close. At this time, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers could not function. However, the sharpshooters in the Japanese rear formation fired one after another. In the blink of an eye, some officers and soldiers were shot in the head and fell on the hot position.  At this moment, a dull sound came, and the pieces were extremely huge.?The explosive package flew out like a locust and landed more than a hundred meters in front of the position, making a huge explosion.  Almost in an instant, the Japanese troops around the explosion point were cleared, and their broken limbs and arms were thrown everywhere. Even the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were bleeding from the mouth and nose, their eyes were dull, and they were in a daze. They were obviously hit by the huge shock wave.  I was stunned.  Yes, this is the unscrupulous artillery equipment of the New Second Army showing its power. The defenders did not hesitate at all. The officers and soldiers reinforced from the communication trenches quickly filled the trenches. Confidential bullets poured out, and the Japanese in front of the position were named one by one.  Falling to the ground.  Seeing this scene, Colonel Yoshimo's eyes turned red, and he didn't know what to do for a moment - the mouth of the canyon in front was like a tiger's mouth devouring human life, and the Chinese army behind had already pressed forward, and the 72nd Regiment was already in a  On the verge of destruction.  Colonel Yoshimo bit his lip to the point of being bitten, but he felt no pain and stared blankly at the death zone ahead.  Behind them, the shouts of killing from the officers and soldiers of the New Second Army were getting closer and closer. Only by rushing out of the mouth of the canyon could the 72nd Regiment have a chance to survive.  Colonel Yoshimo became furious and shouted to the left and right: "His Majesty the Emperor is watching us, loyal and brave warriors of the Empire, we must rush out at all costs." Having made up his mind, Colonel Yoshimo instructed some Japanese troops to rear up, and struggled with the remaining ones.  The Japanese army launched a desperate charge towards the mouth of the canyon.  The Japanese attack is simple and brutal. They use skirmish formations to attack, and machine guns, sharpshooters and grenadiers to suppress them at close range. If it is a frontal attack, they will also use mountain artillery and infantry artillery to suppress them from a distance. Unfortunately, they can only rely on infantry to kill them.  Paving a bloody path. However, the defenders had "unconscionable artillery" to hold down the formation. They were about to rush into the position. An overwhelming burst of explosive packets fell, and a large area was cleared immediately. The Japanese troops who had lost their support were quickly wiped out.  In this case, the Japanese army could only engage in fierce shooting with the independent division more than two hundred meters in front of the position.  "Kill them, mortar bombardment" Colonel Yoshimoro gathered the twelve mortars of the entire regiment, placed them on the small high ground in front of the mouth of the canyon, and aimed at the defenders' positions for shelling.  "Whoosh¡ª¡ª" Howling artillery shells fell densely, and in the blink of an eye, the positions of the 1st and 2nd regiments turned into a surging sea of ??fire. Thick black and red flames rose into the sky, and sharp shrapnel bit into the heads of the officers and soldiers of the Independent Division.  Fragile flesh and blood bodies, with the blood mist flying all over the sky, many people were cut into scattered limbs and fragments.  Before the sound of artillery stopped, the dark Japanese soldiers rushed towards the bee chrysalis position at the mouth of the gorge again.  The officers and soldiers of the 1st and 2nd regiments guarding the position suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly increased, and the defensive position was in danger.  ¡°Boom boom¡ª¡ª¡± Soon after that, overwhelming artillery shells fell on the Japanese mortar position, and the Japanese support fire stopped almost instantly.  "Bang¡ª¡ª" This gunshot was not noticeable on the noisy battlefield. Colonel Yoshimo, who was feeling extremely sad for the loss of his mortar on the small highland, felt a chill in his vest - a sniper bullet just grazed his ear.  However, the sound of approaching death made him feel scared.  Colonel Yoshimoro subconsciously rushed down the small high ground, hid in the Japanese offensive formation, and commanded the Japanese soldiers to launch a desperate charge towards the mouth of the canyon.  On the left side of the hillside of Kangwu Mountain, in the grass, the sniper patted the grass in front of him bitterly, feeling annoyed about the missed shot just now.  He took a few deep breaths, adjusted his emotions, and pointed the scope at Colonel Yoshimo.  Colonel Yoshimo was very smart and ordered the soldiers to block around him, so that the snipers no longer had a suitable opportunity. "Boom¡ª¡ª" A violent explosion sounded around Colonel Yoshimo, with fire shining in the smoke and flesh and blood flying everywhere.  As more than a dozen mortar shells fell, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who were guarding Colonel Yoshitoshi fell to the ground and died. Colonel Yoshitsune in the crowd held his saber and swayed twice. He could no longer hold up and fell to the ground.  The pit of his heart had been opened by a piece of flying shrapnel.  The loud and clear charge horn sounded in the valley. It was time to completely deal with this group of Japanese troops. The firepower of light and heavy machine guns became more intense, the mortar shells became denser, and the officers and soldiers who raised their rifles to attack had already inserted their bayonets.  Although the Japanese troops trapped in the canyon are still fighting, their morale is running low.  Five kilometers north of the canyon, in Lijiangwu and Xiaomatsubuan Road, the 71st Regiment has been assembled and is preparing to lead troops to reinforce the Jimao Regiment.  "General" The combat staff stopped Xiaomatsubarachi and handed him an urgent telegram from Den Shunroku.  After a cursory glance, Komatsubaramichi immediately gave up his plan to rescue the Yoshimo Regiment and glanced at the mouth of the canyon in the south with a complicated expression.  Seeing the sad expression on Xiao Matsubaramichi's face, the captain of the 71st regiment and Colonel Tian Chun were a little puzzled. They were in a hurry just now, why did they change their minds in the blink of an eye?  "General, what's the matter??  "Wada Haru asked. "It's nothing. General Tian Shunroku will send planes to reinforce the Yoshimo Regiment. We don't have to take action." Xiaomatsubara exhaled heavily and turned to look in the direction of Hangzhou. Only five minutes later, the Japanese military aircraft group had already arrived.  Xiaomatsubaramichi and others looked over their heads. Xiaomatsubaramichi looked in the direction of the canyon and murmured: "Yoshimo-kun, you and your heroic subordinates, please worship AmaterasuI will take care of your family."
