    Changshan County, headquarters of the Japanese Eleventh Army.  With the major divisions transferred to the Eleventh Army, Okamura Neiji now has the largest number of elite troops among the Japanese invaders. However, facing the arduous task of capturing Maoliangwu and capturing Wu Ming alive, Okamura Neiji  The pressure on my shoulders is also extremely heavy.  Hearing the news of the defeat in the first battle, Okamura Neiji was not too surprised. He had already experienced the power of the New Second Army. If the opponent did not rely on the geographical location to defend, he would feel nervous and suspect that there was fraud.  Major General Aoki Shigemai, who took over as the Chief of Staff of the Eleventh Army after Teichi Yoshimoto was promoted to the Chief of Staff of the Front Army, walked to Okamura Neiji and whispered: "The liaisons under the 32nd Division and the 116th Division  The team has arrived at the scheduled attack position and will launch an attack on the defenders of the New Second Army in half an hour, trying to create the illusion of a multi-pronged attack by the main force. In addition, the third division has entered Shizikou in the north of Changshan, although it is not accessible from the air above Changshan.  The straight-line distance is only six kilometers, but it has been harassed by the New Second Army guerrillas more than ten times, and more than a hundred imperial soldiers have died!" Okamura Ningji nodded: "Maoliangwu is located in the hinterland of Qianligang.  It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the defense is not perfect. There are many mountain roads that can be reached. After all, the New Second Army only has one army and its strength is relatively limited. I believe that if it blooms more and promotes continuous division and consumption, it will definitely be able to successfully capture Mao Liang.  Wu Ming is captured alive!" "The top priority is to capture Fangcun in the southwest of Maoliangwu As long as we can capture Fangcun, we will have a bridgehead to attack Maoliangwu, and victory is just around the corner. Tell Mr. Fujita that although he is only on this journey,  Feint attack, but the tactics are false and real. As long as he can maintain a strong momentum all the way, he can completely change from feint attack to main attack!" "Hai¡ª¡ª" Aoki Shigemagi bowed and turned around to send the report.  Shizikou is located at the bottom of the hilly valley at the southern foot of Ruo Mountain, six kilometers north of Changshan County.  Although the straight-line distance in the air was only six kilometers, Wangshan was a dead horse. The troops set off from eight in the morning and did not arrive at Shizikou until two in the afternoon. The total distance was at least twenty kilometers.  Fortunately, although the winding mountain road is rugged, it is still passable by cars, so the artillery reluctantly arrived at the same time as the troops.  Three kilometers further forward from Shizikou is the Guchongkou and Shantoufen defense lines guarded by the New Second Army.  But there are basically no roads there. Once we go deeper, the transportation of cannons becomes a problem.  After receiving the telegram from Chief of Staff Aoki, Fujita nodded: "Yoshi, it seems that the first victory in capturing Maoliangwu this time will be obtained by our third division! Order the artillery to open fire, I will attack China  The human defensive position was completely wiped out from the opposite mountain. "With Lieutenant General Fujita's order, the artillery of the Japanese Third Division launched a fierce bombardment on the opposite Guchongkou and Shantou Peng areas.  "Dong dong¡ª¡ª" The dull sound of grenade muzzle sounded, and the 24 Type 91 105 mm field guns of the Third Division were temporarily strengthened and the 36 75 mm field guns belonging to the Third Field Artillery Regiment were temporarily strengthened.  , coupled with the sixty-four 70mm Type 92 infantry cannons of the four infantry regiments of the Third Division, they all opened fire, and the artillery position was quickly enveloped in choking smoke and dust.  Before the first round of grenades landed, the Japanese artillerymen, who cooperated extremely well with each other, completed a series of actions such as opening the gun bolt, ejecting the shell, plugging the grenade, closing the gun bolt, and pulling the gun rope.  The flames from the muzzle flashed again, and countless grenades rushed towards the front defenders with a gap of a few tenths of a second.  "Whoosh¡ª¡ª" A breathtaking scream cut through the low altitude, and the grenade exploded on the opposite hill more than 200 meters above sea level.  Amidst the continuous explosions, the entire mountain was shaking violently. As the shells exploded one after another, crimson fireballs rose into the sky, and various debris waved everywhere in the sky.  The fortifications on the hilltop that were directly hit flew into the air one after another, and concrete blocks, weapon parts, and human flesh flew around like raindrops.  Under rounds of intensive bombing, several bunkers standing on the mountaintops could not withstand the ravages of modern weapons and collapsed with painful groans.  "Kill it!" Susumu Fujita, who had been closely observing the effects of the bombardment, saw that several sections of fortifications had collapsed. He nodded with satisfaction, put down his telescope, pulled out his saber and shouted: "Kill it!" With the sharp sound  The whistle sounded, and three large groups of Japanese troops who had been waiting for a long time howled and rushed to the high ground ahead.  At this time, on the garrison position, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Liwei, commander of the Third Brigade of the Independent Division, who was responsible for guarding the line position, immediately ordered each regiment to send troops to the front line position. At the same time, heavy machine guns entered the machine gun bunker on the ground from the lifting platform, mortars,  The grenade launcher also enters the preset position and fires when the enemy rushes to the minefield in front of the position.  As the Japanese army approached the position at the foot of the mountain a hundred meters away, the sergeant who rushed in front stepped on a mine and exploded violently.The firepower support point of the defenders reaching the top of the hill began to spray out tongues of fire, and for a while, the sound of gunshots like exploding beans resounded throughout the mountains.  Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The attacking Japanese troops seemed to have hit an iron plate. In the dense rain of bullets, hundreds of Japanese troops were shot one after another and fell to the ground like wheat.  At the same time, densely packed mortar shells and grenades fired from grenade launchers in the front-line positions fell like raindrops, making the Japanese howl like ghosts.  The Japanese troops who were attacked by fire did not panic. The Japanese troops behind them immediately fell to the ground or looked for cover to hide. However, before the battle began, all the raised hills and rocks in front of the defensive positions had been flattened by engineers.  , it can be said to be unabashed.  Therefore, when these Japanese soldiers lay down on the ground, they were surprised to find that they could not effectively avoid the bullets fired from the opposite mountain. Rows of bullets fired from them hit the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Many Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground.  After the soldier fell down, he was hit directly in the back and died before he had time to react.  ¡°Coupled with the steel fragments that continued to explode after the grenade explosion, the Japanese troops in the offensive queue felt like they were being baptized by a steel storm.  After paying a continuous price of five to six hundred casualties, the stunned Japanese troops began to retreat back to their starting position like a tide. However, at least more than a hundred people were killed in the retreat.  "Baga!" Susumu Fujita flew into a rage and slapped Colonel Ide, the captain of the 34th Infantry Regiment, who was commanding the charge, more than ten times in the face. Colonel Ide, who was beaten until his nose and mouth were bloody and stars were shining in his eyes, lowered his head in shame.  Head, constantly making "Hai" sounds.  "The Chinese army is very cunning. There are mechanisms in their positions, so although it seems that the trenches are seriously damaged, they actually suffered very little damage!" Chief of Staff Shinichiro Endo suggested: "General, in order to avoid excessive casualties to the troops,  Ask the aviation force for help! After taking Quzhou City, the engineers immediately repaired the Quzhou Airport. Now that the two teams of the 3rd Aviation Regiment have settled in, General Okamura will definitely agree to our request! " "Yoshi!"  After some hesitation, Jinsu agreed to Chief of Staff Endo's suggestion. However, waiting blindly was not what he, the leader of the main division, would do. Therefore, after sending the telegram, Lieutenant General Fujita once again ordered the artillery to target the hilltops in front of him for bombardment.  .  The shelling lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the Third Division launched another wave of attacks, but still failed, and the shelling had to continue again.  An hour later, there was a buzzing sound in the southeastern sky, and a large group of black dots in the field of vision quickly approached the battlefield filled with artillery fire.  "No, the Japanese have dispatched the air force, be careful to hide!" The orders of officers at all levels sounded in the trenches, artillery and air defense positions responsible for the third brigade of the Dusan Division of the New Second Army.  The deafening roar was getting closer and closer, and twelve ki-21 Mitsubishi Type 97 heavy bombers, escorted by an equal number of ki-43 Nakajima Type 1 fighters, flew to the battlefield.  The two Nakajima Type 1 fighter jets took the lead in roaring and lowering their altitude. The flying height was only more than 300 meters, which meant that they were only more than 150 meters away from the mountains below. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Dusan Brigade on the position were almost  The Japanese pilots can be seen clearly.  After flying several times back and forth over the two hills of Guchongkou and Shantoufeng, the Japanese pilots observed carefully. As far as they could see, there was nothing on the green hills.  The Japanese pilots were still uneasy and shot at the woods and bushes on the mountain. Where the bullets passed, broken branches and rotten leaves fell like raindrops.  After continuously targeting five or six suspicious locations, the two fighter jets slowly flew away from the hill after seeing that there was no movement on the ground.  After about two minutes, twelve Mitsubishi Type 97 heavy critical strike aircraft quickly formed a neat square formation and dived towards the smoke-filled battlefield.  The huge formation of bombers had just dived over the position. The three Type 97 heavy bombers at the front shook, and twelve 100-kilogram-class aerial bombs screamed and fell towards the flaming trenches.  The power of the carpet bombing was so great that the entire mountain seemed to be shaken by the fireball, and the entire trench made of reinforced concrete collapsed.  ¡°One of the artillery-proof caves that was directly hit was instantly razed to the ground, and a squad of officers and soldiers inside were buried, completely integrated with the entire mountain.  The anti-gun caves that were not directly hit were also shaking violently, and mud and rocks on the cave walls rained down on the officers and soldiers.  Soon after, the anti-aircraft positions arranged in dozens of artificially dug caves on the top of the mountain were suddenly removed from the camouflage nets. Twenty-four 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns and thirty-six Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns were lifted from the lift.  Rising from the heart of the mountain, with more than sixty 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, they all aimed and fired in the air.  ¡°Dong dong¡ª¡ª¡±   Dense anti-aircraft shells broke through the blue sky and went straight towards the Japanese bomber formation. With the angry shells of the officers and soldiers, they rushed directly towards the Japanese bombers. Black smoke clouds exploded between the blue sky and white clouds, and countless sharp missiles flew out from the clouds.  Shrapnel swept toward the Japanese bomber formation like clusters of arrows.  The fuselage of a Mitsubishi Type 97 heavy bomber that was dropping bombs suddenly shook, and then thick smoke billowed out from the fuel tank. The aircraft made a strange scream and somersaulted to the ground. In just a few seconds, it splashed a cloud of smoke.  A huge fireball.  The dense firepower net frightened all the Japanese pilots.  Facing the ground anti-aircraft firepower, they almost instinctively pushed the control stick and stepped on the accelerator. The aircraft engine groaned in pain, the huge fuselage shook, and shot straight into the sky at the maximum elevation angle.  However, the climbing bomber could not turn, and it would undoubtedly be used as a living target by ground anti-aircraft fire. A Mitsubishi Type 97 heavy bomber that was ascending suddenly shook, and hundreds of missiles were fired at it.  Shrapnel tore off the tail fin, and the out-of-control bomber turned over and fell to the ground with a strange scream.  At an altitude of less than 200 meters, there was no chance for the dazed pilot to parachute. In the close contact between the Mitsubishi Type 97 heavy blaster and the ground, it exploded into a huge fireball.  After a ball of shrapnel passed through the belly of a Mitsubishi Type 97 heavy bomber, it hit another bomber that was too late to pull up.  "Boom¡ª¡ª" The sharp shrapnel easily tore the skin on the fuselage and rushed into the magazine. With a "dang" sound, the shrapnel and six 100-kilogram-class aerial bombs violently collided together.  ¡°Boom¡ª¡ª¡± The fuse of one aerial bomb was fired, and then five other aerial bombs were detonated.  With a flash of brilliant fire, the entire Mitsubishi Type 97 heavy bomber suddenly turned into a ball of brilliant fireworks, and steel fragments fell to the ground like raindrops.  "What caused a fatal blow to the Japanese Mitsubishi Type 97 heavy critical strike aircraft formation were more than 60 cross-fire chains.  The bomber, which was being pulled up like crazy and unable to turn, completely exposed its belly to the firepower of the 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft cannon and more than sixty 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns. The extremely clumsy heavy bombers either turned into gorgeous fireballs or  Falling like a turkey.  In the end, only two Mitsubishi Type 97 heavy bombardment aircraft escaped from the ground anti-aircraft firepower. One of them was dragging billowing black smoke and flew towards Quzhou Airport in a panic.  Now the Japanese fighter group went crazy. In groups of two, Ki-43 Nakajima-1 fighter jets swooped towards the air defense positions in the mountains from four directions: east, south, west and north.  The ground air defense forces were well prepared. The relatively clumsy 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun was immediately retracted into the mountainside via the elevator. Two of the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns were paired with a 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft gun to form an air defense team, pointing at  Japanese fighter planes swooped over.  When the Japanese fighter planes entered the dive orbit, all the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns roared, and a dense fire net appeared in front of the Japanese aircraft group.  The well-trained Japanese pilots controlled the Nakajima-1 fighter jets, dexterously flying up, down, left and right in the fire net, desperately trying to cut into the attack route!  A Nakajima-1 fighter jet was hit and fell to the ground with a strange scream. There was only a "boom" sound. The fuel and ammunition were detonated at the same time, exploding into a huge fireball. The entire fuselage was thrown to the ground like a toy.  In the air, it turned into countless fragments and flew in all directions!  The Japanese aviation force showed no signs of weakness and desperately flew fighter planes into the attack route. Fire whips swept across the air defense positions. Wherever the aviation bullets passed, clouds of blood mist rose.  A 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft gun that was firing fiercely was shrouded in a hail of bullets, and sparks shot out from the metal collision that kept hearing "dang-dang-dang"!  An aviation machine gun bullet screamed and penetrated into the gunner's head. There was a "Pfft" sound, like a watermelon being crushed. The high-speed rotating bullet crushed the gunner's head into pieces. The headless body with blood flowing violently lay like a jade pillar pushed down from a mountain of gold.  On top of a small mountain of shell casings.  Japanese fighter planes entered the attack orbit one after another, aiming at the target and firing fiercely. Wherever the bullets hit, flying sand and rocks were raised, and the 12.7 mm aviation machine gun bullets strangled the shooters and ammunition feeders into pieces.  Completely ignoring the screams of aircraft machine gun bullets passing by, the ammunition handlers carried boxes of ammunition boxes to the bloody air defense position. I don't know how many shooters changed, and their fingers were tightly hooked on the trigger.  Amidst the roar of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, yellow shell casings rained down to the ground.  The battle was extremely fierce!  Nakajima-1 fighter jets screamed and fell to the ground, anti-aircraft machine guns disintegrated into piles of parts, and 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns flew into the sky amid the explosion of ammunition.  After a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, only the last two fighter planes of the Japanese fleet were left.The Japanese aviation commander who commanded the operation from the air had no choice but to order a return flight.  The Japanese air force was defeated and fled!
