233 Use massacre as a memorial (on this special day today)
After the monk led the guard company to garrison the Lijiapo defenses, it took nearly ten minutes for the Yamazaki Brigade to arrive at Lijiapo.
The pursuit along the way, coupled with the humiliation from time to time when the monk led the guard company to turn around, had long since exhausted Yamazaki Jihei's last patience.
The old devil Yamazaki now has only one thought:
Crushed the fleeing Eighth Route Army in front of them.
Until he approached Lijiapo, when he saw the unique topography of Lijiapo through the telescope from a distance, Yamazaki, who had a keen sense of military acumen, his eyes lit up, and he realized that his opportunity had come.
The original anger gradually disappeared and turned into excitement and excitement.
The adjutant on the side was still a little confused and reminded: "Sir, this group of Tuba Road doesn't seem to be planning to escape. It seems that they want to use the hill in front of them to fight with our army."
"円西!" Yamazaki nodded.
The adjutant said: "The hill in front of us has a very strange terrain. It is just a large protruding slope. The scouts arranged by my subordinates in advance reported after reconnaissance that there is a cliff on the north side of the hill. The main force is not there at all."
It may be possible to go up, but there are cliffs on the east and west sides, making it difficult to climb. The only way to climb this hill is the relatively gentle south slope in front of you."
"But look at it, Lieutenant Colonel, the southern slope in front of you is also narrow near the top of the slope. Only a hundred people are allowed to attack at a time. Such a natural danger is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Eighth Route Army is holding on to the danger and we want to take it.
The slope in front of us may require a lot of effort."
"Sir, would you like us to transfer immediately?"
"Transfer?" Yamazaki smiled: "Why transfer?"
The adjutant said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, it is obvious that this group of Eighth Route Army troops on the top of the hillside have evil intentions. In the previous sneak attack, they deliberately provoked our army and seemed to lure us forward. The final goal is probably here.
On the hillside, they want to use this hillside to hold tight and hold back our army until the main force of the Eighth Route Army encircles us."
"If our troops do not transfer immediately, the main force of the Eighth Route Army may soon encircle us."
After the adjutant finished speaking, his original intention was to remind Yamazaki, but then he realized that the captain's face was full of confident smile.
Yamazaki pointed at Li Jiapo with a smile and said: "The ultimate goal of our unit's lone expedition this time is to find the arsenal, field hospital and headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, destroy them in one fell swoop, anger all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, and then seize them.
Hold tight, contain the main force of the Eighth Route Army, wait for the imperial troops to encircle it from all sides, and wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop."
"One of the most critical points is the dangerous terrain used for defense."
"Haven't you discovered by now that the hill in front of you is the best choice for our army?"
"The hill in front of us!" the adjutant was stunned, and then reacted, "Yes, if we can occupy the hill in front of us, and then build fortifications on the top of the hillside, it will be difficult for our army to break through the defense with the sparse firepower of the Eighth Route Army.
We can certainly use this to hold back the Eighth Route Army for a long time until the main force of the empire encircles us."
"This is a tactic that blooms in the middle." Yamazaki said confidently.
"It is not difficult to use this hill to hold back the main force of the Eighth Route Army, tens of thousands of people, with hundreds of troops from our Yamazaki Brigade."
"So the most important thing right now is to eliminate the Eighth Route Army on the top of the slope and occupy this hill."
"Hi!"
Yamazaki, who had made up his mind, did not hesitate and immediately issued combat arrangements, preparing to attack Lijiapo in one fell swoop.
The history of the script repeated itself, except that the two sides seemed to have reversed their positions.
This time, the guard company led by the monk was defending with the help of Li Jiapo, while the Yamazaki Brigade was the main attacker.
Lijiapo has three steep slopes, and only one side can be used for attack. This unique terrain soon made the old Japanese Yamazaki suffer.
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers were crowded on the narrow southern slope of Lijiapo. As soon as they emerged from the top of the slope, they were immediately hit by fierce firepower from the guard company of the Lijiapo fortifications.
Since the defenses built by the third platoon in the central area of Lijiapo are mainly underground fortifications, which are lower than the ground, coupled with the towering terrain of Lijiapo, Yamazaki's scouts are located at the bottom of Lijiapo and are difficult to detect at all.
It was not until the Japanese offensive troops rushed up that they discovered that the guard company had already built defensive fortifications and was ready for a counterattack.
The Japanese suffered a secret loss. The first wave of attacks was directly repelled by machine gun fire. They left dozens of corpses behind and hurriedly retreated to the south slope.
On Lijiapo.
The monk knew very well that this was just a tentative attack by the Japanese, so the firepower just poured out, and he even ordered that no heavy machine guns be used.
The enemy's first attack was repulsed by machine gun and rifle firepower alone.
Shanqi at the bottom of the slope was quite depressed. Logically speaking, he pursued the Eighth Route Army all the way to Lijiapo. The time it took for the Eighth Route Army to build fortifications here was only about ten minutes.
……
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has built a very strong defense in the central area of the top of the slope. After we rushed to the top of the slope, we did not see half of the Eighth Route Army above the ground. They were all in underground fortifications, and they used the fortifications to launch a counterattack.
The firepower coverage of our offensive troops."
A Japanese squad leader who had been repelled by the security company from the top of the slope reported to Yamazaki Hui.
...What is going on in front of you?
Is ten minutes or so enough for the fleeing Eighth Route Army to quickly build adequate defenses on this hill?
The adjutant speculated: "Sir, Tubal Road seems to have been prepared. They built defenses here early in the morning."
Yamazaki said angrily: "No matter what, we must knock down the hill in front of us before we can carry out our subsequent intermediate flowering tactics."
"Order the artillery to be ready. The vanguard force once again conducts a tentative attack, covering the artillery scouts to observe closely. After locking the position of the area where the Eighth Route Army's fortifications are located, the attack is suspended and direct artillery fire coverage is carried out to completely destroy the Eighth Route Army's fortifications.
Blow up."
"Hi!"
A new round of Japanese attack was launched soon.
"Company commander, the Japanese are here again."
The monk laughed and said: "I'm afraid that the little Japs won't dare to come up and the beating won't be effective enough! Brothers, put the Japs a little further forward and then fire!"
"Yes!"
A small team of Japanese troops who were the first to attack quickly climbed to the top of Lijiapo through the south slope and advanced about ten meters.
After glancing at the empty ground, the soldiers of the guard company suddenly stood up from the trench fortifications, raised their guns and opened fire on the Japanese who climbed to the top of the slope.
The monk personally held a light machine gun and knocked out four or five Japanese with short bursts.
After a burst of fire suppression, the Japanese abandoned more than 20 corpses again and retreated hastily.
"Company commander, why did the Japanese suddenly withdraw?"
The monk pondered: "The enemy's attack this time is not as good as the previous attack! It was already a tentative attack before, and this time it is definitely premeditated. Forget it, it doesn't matter so much. As long as the enemy withdraws and sends the order, everything will be done."
People immediately hid in the artillery fortifications."
"Yes!"
Boom boom boom——
The top of Lijiapo slope, the central area, was completely drowned by the sound of artillery.
On the southern slope, near the top of the slope, the Japanese used more than a dozen grenade launchers to fire at once. At the bottom of the southern slope, the Japanese's four Type 97 90mm mortars and four Type 92 infantry guns roared crazily.
Bombard Li Jiapo with direct fire.
The Japanese's artillery shells seemed to be free of charge, and they hit the top of Lijiapo.
The platoon leader covered his ears and huddled in the Maoer Cave artillery defense fortification. He even closed the temporary wooden door on the right side of the Maoer Cave, and the light in the artillery cave suddenly dimmed.
"Company commander, this little devil is so rich! It has been almost ten minutes since the shells were hit, right?"
shouted loudly from the row.
The monk almost roared in response: "Who says it's not? His grandma's, I really want to snatch all the Japanese cannons and shells."
The first platoon leader couldn't help but be happy. He was more concerned about another thing now, "I'm talking to the third platoon leader, is the cat's-ear hole anti-artillery fortification you built feasible? The Japanese artillery fire is so fierce, don't stop using it."
The cat's ear holes were blown apart, burying us alive inside. Even if I die, I have to die on the way to charge, but I can't die in such a miserable way."
"Bah, you crow's mouth!" the commander of the third platoon scolded: "I used to have a class of engineer brothers under my command. We know exactly how deep the artillery holes are dug and what caliber of artillery fire can be blocked.
, when the Japanese cannons came over, I felt convinced."
"Don't worry. When I directed the comrades in the earthwork work for the artillery-proof cave in front of me, I made special arrangements to dig it 30 centimeters deep. In addition, Lijiapo was originally a hill, and the soil was relatively hard. Even if the Japanese used artillery shells,
After the fight, as long as we hide in this Maoerdong artillery-proof fortification, the little devils will have nothing to do with us."
"Let alone the enemy's artillery shells, even if the enemy's bombers come, our anti-artillery fortifications will still not catch them."
Hearing this, the platoon leader felt relieved and laughed: "Then I can rest assured. It's just a pity that there are so many shells, and they are all in vain."
The shelling continues.
The soldiers of the guard company were firmly hiding in the Maoerdong artillery defense fortification. When the third platoon leader ordered the construction of the Maoerdong artillery defense fortification, he ingeniously built a wooden door for each artillery defense fortification. On the left
It was completely blocked. There was a wooden door on the right. Japanese artillery shells hit it and pulled the wooden door shut. The soldiers huddled tightly in the shell-proof hole, and despite the wild bombardment outside, I remained unmoved.
At the bottom of the slope, Yamazaki, who directed the artillery to continue the bombardment, was full of confidence.
News comes one after another from the south slope:
"Ninety percent of the shells hit the target area."
"The fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army in the central area on the top of the slope have been completely covered by artillery fire."
"The artillery fire has been covering for fifteen minutes."
……
Yamasaki nodded after listening to the report. He was very confident that after such a long period of artillery fire, the Eighth Route Army on the top of the slope had almost finished their battle. As for the fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army, they should have collapsed long ago, so it was better to save some shells.
Well, we still have to keep it to deal with the main force of the Eighth Route Army!
……
Brigade Headquarters.
Listening to the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of Lijiapo, which lasted for more than ten minutes.
The brigade commander, political commissar, and chief of staff all looked solemn.
This Yamazaki brigade has abundant artillery shells and is equipped with many artillery pieces, exceeding everyone's expectations.
This is an elite Japanese brigade with additional firepower configuration.
But at the moment, there is only one guard company stationed on Lijiapo.
The brigade commander and political commissar are actually very emotional now. They lament that Kong Jie had the foresight a few days ago to station his security company on the front line in advance.
Otherwise, the Yamazaki Brigade is very likely to break through the sky by mistake, thereby threatening the arsenal and field hospitals. The losses to the Eighth Route Army will be too great.
"No matter what, we must save Monk Wei and the others!"
The brigade commander and others could not imagine what kind of disaster the guard company led by Comrade Wei Dayong would suffer under such fierce artillery fire.
Such a steel-like team dares to carry the Yamazaki Brigade with one guard company, and they must not be allowed to die on Lijia Slope.
The political commissar sighed: "This monk Wei is Kong Jie's bodyguard. Kong Jie has a deep affection for monk Wei and treats him as a brother."
"We can fully imagine how angry Kong Jie would be if Comrade Wei Dayong and others died on Lijia Slope!"
"This kid is very different from before. In addition, today's independent regiment has strong soldiers. I think Kong Jie will even tear this Yamazaki regiment into pieces in order to avenge Monk Wei and the others."
The brigade commander nodded in agreement and asked: "How many teams from our brigade have rushed over?"
The chief of staff replied: "Brigadier Commander, the 771st and 772nd Regiments, including the Xinyi Regiment and other regiments near Lijiapo, have all surrounded Lijiapo. The current Yamazaki Brigade is already on our chopping block.
Meat, you can’t run away even if you want to.”

"Where's the Independent Regiment?" the brigade commander asked, "The Independent Regiment's station is not far from Lijiapo, and it's not too late to set off now."
"Brigadier, do you mean to let the independent group come up?"
The brigade commander nodded and said: "I understand Kong Jie's character. He is very similar to Li Yunlong in this regard. Both of them must take revenge, especially against the little devil. This time, the guards of the Independent Regiment blew up a line of sky.
, guarded the arsenal and field hospital, and dragged the entire Yamazaki Brigade to Lijiapo."
"Comrades of the security company, I don't know what the current casualty situation is. The independent regiment will naturally have to take revenge on the independent regiment!"
The political commissar nodded and said: "That's the truth. The brigade commander and I have the same view."
"But several other regiments, including the heads of the two main regiments, are asking for a fight. How can we respond?" asked the chief of staff.
The brigade commander cursed: "What a stupid reply, tell them, if their guard company has this ability and can resist the elite brigade of the Japanese army, I will send them too!"
"If you don't have the ability, just watch carefully from behind and block all intersections. Don't let this Yamazaki brigade go."
"Okay!" the chief of staff responded with a smile and turned around to convey the order.
"Political Commissar, it seems that the battle in Lijiapo is getting more and more exciting. Let's rush to the Lijiapo forward observation station to take a look at the situation!"
"Okay, brigade commander, I also want to see the heroic combat performance of our comrades in the guard company."
……
"Old Kong, what on earth have you been doing, and why are you back now? In the direction of Lijiapo ahead, all the regiments are competing for the task of attacking the Yamazaki Brigade, but you haven't received any news?"
Kong Jie just returned from Xinzhuang. As soon as he came back, he was scolded by Li Yunlong.
After realizing what was going on, Kong Jie scolded him: "I said, Lao Li, why are you so anxious? I am the leader of the Independent Regiment, and you are just the deputy. Aren't you the emperor who is not as anxious as the eunuchs?" p>
Li Yunlong said: "Old Kong, don't do this to me. If you can't take over Li Jiapo's main attack mission, I will look down on you from the bottom of my heart."
"You said that you are not active in fighting and have brain problems. The commanders of other regiments are rushing to eat meat. You kid, don't make it till the end. You don't even have to drink soup."
Kong Jile said: "What's the rush? Our political commissar has already gone to the brigade headquarters for a meeting?"
Li Yunlong scolded: "You still have the nerve to say that the political commissar, that sour scholar, went to the brigade headquarters to seize the main attack mission, can he seize it?"
"If he can grab it..."
"What's wrong?" Kong Jie asked.
Li Yunlong said angrily: "I'll give you a day job for nothing."
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Haha, Lao Li, we have agreed."
Before he finished speaking, political commissar Zhao Gang hurriedly entered the room from the outside, his face full of joy: "Old Kong, Old Li, great joy, the brigade headquarters has given the task of attacking the Yamazaki Brigade to our independent regiment."<
/p>
Li Yunlong: "..."
…………
As time passed, all parties quickly fell into place.
The main force of each regiment of the Eighth Route Army dispatched nearly 20,000 people in total to completely surround the Yamazaki Brigade in the direction of Lijiapo from all directions.
The brigade commander and political commissar have arrived at the hidden forward observation post one kilometer away from Lijiapo. Through the telescope, they can have a panoramic view of the battle in Lijiapo.
Of course, the situation on the top of Lijiapo, in the central area, and within the fortifications built by the security company cannot be seen.
"Brigade commander, the Japanese bombardment is completely over, but there is no movement on Lijiapo. Do you think Comrade Wei Dayong and the others will..."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." The brigade commander shouted: "This Monk Wei was brought out by Kong Jie. Kong Jie has been very cunning these days. How could he let his brother die on Lijia Slope?" <
/p>
"Where is the Independent Group? What does Kong Jie do for food? Hasn't he brought anyone here yet?"
Just as he was talking, the chief of staff who put down the telescope said: "Brigadier commander, the independent regiment arrived first, but according to the report from the communications corps, Kong Jie only sent one battalion, led by deputy regiment commander Li Yunlong."
"One battalion!" the brigade commander said with a frown, "Only one battalion was sent to deal with the Yamazaki Brigade. Does Kong Jie look down on this Japs? Or does he look down on Li Yunlong's commanding ability too much?"
But now that the matter has come to this, the brigade commander has no choice but to say: "We can't control that much anymore. Since that guy Li Yunlong is here, let him prepare to lead the troops. The situation in the security company may not be good."
"Yes!"
…………
Down Lijiapo.
The sound of artillery gradually stopped.
"Sir, according to the information transmitted from the forward observation post, after the bombardment ended, there was deathly silence on Lijiapo. It is speculated that the Eighth Route Army's fortifications should have been destroyed by our artillery fire. As for the casualties of the Eighth Route Army, it is still unclear." p>
"吆西!" Yamazaki said confidently: "The hills in front of us are indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but one premise is that when the attacking troops do not have sufficient artillery fire, this group of Eighth Route Army underestimated the firepower advantage of our imperial troops.
Even if they build fortifications, they still cannot escape the fate of destruction."
Just as he was talking, a scout arrived and reported hurriedly: "Sir, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has surrounded Lijiapo from all sides, and now our army's retreat has been completely cut off."
Hearing this, the adjutant looked worried and said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, the situation seems to be very bad now."
Yamazaki laughed and said: "Really? But in my opinion, this is our opportunity. The main forces of the Eighth Route Army have been successfully attracted by us. The next thing to do is very simple. Break through Lijiapo in one fell swoop, and then quickly
Just repair the fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army on the top of the mountain, and then rely on this hill to hold on to the danger and block the attacking Eighth Route Army!"
The adjutant nodded, "But, Lieutenant Commander, isn't this too risky?"
"No, on the contrary, there is a saying in the Chinese art of war that it is necessary to fight against the odds and fight against the odds. The more risks you take, the more determined you will be to win among the warriors of our empire."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Our army will definitely use the hills in front of us to contain the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, and use the tactics of blooming in the middle to completely eradicate the main force of the Eighth Route Army and become famous in one battle!"
"Xiao Lin, this is an adventure, but it is also a great opportunity."
"Hi!" the adjutant responded.
"Pass it on, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has encircled our troops. The only hope for our army's survival now is to capture the hill in front of us, hold tight and wait for reinforcements."
"Time is very tight for us."
"The next attack on the hill in front of us is the decisive battle. No one has to hold back. The artillery squadron follows up at the same time. All teams are arranged in an orderly manner on the south slope. After the vanguard team breaks through the Eighth Route Army position on the hill, all the main forces immediately enter the defense fortifications.
."
"Hi!"
…………
"Brigadier Commander, the Japanese have deployed all their troops on the south slope. It seems that they are preparing to launch a decisive battle. Unfortunately, the Lijiapo position may be lost." The chief of staff put down the telescope worriedly and said.
The brigade commander shouted: "Where is Li Yunlong? Why hasn't this guy arrived yet?"
"We are on our way here quickly. I'm afraid it will take about five minutes."
"Five minutes is too long. Once the Yamazaki Battalion breaks through Lijiapo, the Japanese will definitely hold on to the danger. With the terrain of Lijiapo and the enemy's artillery advantage, it will be difficult for us to capture the Yamazaki Battalion.
”
The brigade commander also became a little anxious and "sent cavalry to convey orders to urge Li Yunlong's troops to speed up."
"Yes!"
"Brigadier, the Japanese have launched an attack!"
..."Brigadier, this is the security company, these are the comrades of the security company. They did not sacrifice, they are still here!"
The brigade commander and political commissar who heard the call of the forward observation post quickly raised their binoculars to observe. Sure enough, a large number of heads suddenly appeared on the originally empty ground in the central area of Lijiapo.
Monk Wei led the guard company and reappeared on the fortifications.
This is a miracle!
It’s also shocking!
Under heavy Japanese artillery fire, the guard company was still there.
What was even more shocking was yet to come, when most of the Yamazaki Brigade's troops had been deployed on the slower southern slope of the attack on Lijiapo, and the vanguard force had launched the attack.
Suddenly there was a loud noise between heaven and earth, or multiple loud noises together.
The brigade commander, political commissar, and chief of staff observed at the forward observation post.
There was also Li Yunlong and others who were rushing towards Li Jiapo and could already see the outline of Li Jiapo.
The rapidly spreading big explosion roared along most of the southern slope of Lijiapo. Most of the southern slope was sent directly into the air, and more than 200 Japanese soldiers who were arranged in an orderly manner on the southern slope were submerged together.
In an extremely spectacular big explosion.
Use massacre as a memorial to honor the dead soul of China...
…………………………………………
(Today is a very special day. It’s hard to stop writing. The last sentence of the text is my heartfelt voice. The Nanjing Massacre is a national shame. We should never forget it and move forward. You son-of-a-bitch little devil, the only choice is to massacre them all.
Only when the war breaks out can we relieve the hatred in our hearts. The people of our country are full of grief and indignation. So what if the incident happened nearly a hundred years ago? If the war breaks out again, we must eradicate all the Japanese Japanese. There is a saying that deeply touches my heart. Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are.
