The Chinese were unable to retreat, while the Japanese and their dogs were unable to dismount.
If one side retreats, everyone will die, while if the other side retreats, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Just like two gamblers who put all their wealth into the capital market, no matter how bad the market falls, they have to 'cover their positions' with red eyes.
The commanders of both sides gritted their teeth and constantly deployed troops to charge into this position, which would never exceed one square kilometer in radius.
If one infantry company fails, bring in another; if there are no reserve troops in the central position, then troops will be drawn from the two wings.
If a position is lost, organize manpower to take it back again. Every inch of territory must be fought for!
Human life has become the cheapest commodity on such a battlefield.
The Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army had already dispatched the most elite guard company around him to the battlefield at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
At 3 p.m., two infantry companies drawn from the left-wing position entered the battlefield.
At 4 p.m., two infantry companies on the right flank entered the battlefield.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Dao personally led the guard platoon and Li Jijin's 2nd company into the battlefield.
Fierce gunshots resounded in the mountains all day, until the sun set in the west, and the setting sun was like blood.
Only then did the two warring parties finally stop this "hot pot war" which was escalated by Lieutenant General Tang Dao and promoted by Sichuan Army Lieutenant General.
In order to prevent the night attack of the crazy Chinese troops, the Jingan Army and the Japanese Army took the initiative to use the cover of night to withdraw from the position they occupied after spending nearly 1,400 battle losses in a day.
By noon of the battle, Li Shoushan and two Japanese majors had actually understood the Chinese people's thoughts, and used the interlocking positions to cling to the infantry they had entered. They did not 'love' them much, but used these infantry as their own.
A shield to block threats that may come from the sky and artillery groups.
Turn a battlefield where heavy firepower is far inferior to that of your opponent into a pure battle of infantry skills, tactics and bravery.
The Chinese succeeded, they miscalculated.
Except for the early morning fighter bombardment and a round of artillery bombardment, throughout the day, except for the infantry artillery that reached 600 meters in front of the position and bombarded the Chinese position visible to the naked eye, the mountain artillery and field artillery became decorations.
The bomber formation dispatched by the Navy was even more empty-handed and consumed fuel. They circled the mountains for several times and could only stare blankly. They could only vent their anger by dropping tons of bombs on the left and right wing positions. But before they arrived, the Chinese on the position might have another chance.
He avoided it early, and besides loosening the soil in the forest, he didn't get any use for the ball.
This almost scoundrel-like fighting method can not only disgust people, but also beat them to the bone.
The left-wing position was so badly beaten by the Chinese several times that they only lost a few hundred people. But here it was better. At the end of the day, almost an infantry regiment was almost wiped out.:.
Of course, it was not all the losses of the Jing'an Army.
The infantry brigade sent by the Kunisaki detachment to supervise the battle but volunteered to fight also contributed a considerable number of men.
The major captain of the infantry brigade was actually a smart man. When he realized something was wrong in the afternoon, he stopped being so awesome and sent troops into the battlefield. But that was after he had already sent two infantry squadrons into the battlefield.
The unlucky infantry brigade, which originally suffered more than 150 casualties in the battle at Songjiang, finally managed to replenish 80 men from the heavy baggage, barely enough to reach full strength.
When he quietly left the battlefield at night and arrived at the rear to take inventory, the Japanese major who had looked like a dead mother throughout the day almost shed tears.
Of the two infantry squadrons that entered the battlefield, the infantry squadron that entered first had 90 people left standing, while the other infantry squadron that entered later was in slightly better condition, with 120 people.
This is equivalent to an infantry squadron disappearing into thin air.
But over 200 people were killed or wounded. What do you think of that coward? Li Shoushan felt ashamed that he had such a Japanese master. I lost almost 8 infantry companies, okay?
The huge casualties made Li Shoushan feel cold about the outcome of this war for the first time.
As a former Chinese, he knew China's demographic advantage very well. If every subsequent war was fought like this, let alone one for one, even if it was five for one, the Japanese would send all the old, weak, women and children from all over the country.
, there’s not enough to replace it!
Taking the initiative to withdraw from the position that cost thousands of casualties to capture was partly due to the fear of being attacked at night. More importantly, Li Shoushan discussed with two Japanese majors for an entire afternoon and decided to take advantage of his own heavy firepower advantage.
If this position cannot be conquered in one day, then it will take two days, if not, then three days. The order from the Tenth Army Headquarters only requires them to arrive at the outskirts of Jinling before early December, so they still have enough time.
They have had enough of this strategy of exchanging human lives for each other.
Compared with the Japanese and Japanese who were heartbroken, the Chinese supreme commander, the Lieutenant General of the 145th Division, really burst into tears during the daytime count of personnel after the war.
On the battlefield during the day, he is the supreme commander, ruthlessly feeding each living life into this life-driven meat grinder for the sake of tactical goals.
But when the bright moon is in the sky and he stands in front of the corpses with pale faces, he is a father and a brother!
These young soldiers were all his disciples brought from his hometown. Their parents came to see them off before the whole army left. He drank the rice wine glutinous rice balls served by the elders in his hometown and made an oath that he would bring these young soldiers with him.
People return in triumph.
But war is so cruel, there is no victory, let alone return.
His 1,800 soldiers, because of his order, went to the battlefield without hesitation, and then died on the battlefield!
In these two days alone, more than 2,000 people died in the battle.
If we add in the casualties in Si'an in the past few days, the 145th Division has only less than 2,000 of the 5,000 soldiers who arrived at the front line.
Yes, although they have invested more troops and have the advantage of terrain, the Sichuan army is far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of the quality of its soldiers and light weapons and equipment. If they have to find another trait that can narrow the gap between the two sides, they will be red-blooded.
Sichuan people are brave and fearless of death.
When the battle ended in the afternoon, the Sichuan Army Lieutenant General even sent in his own guard company, so what else could he do to supervise the battle team?
The Sichuan army on the battlefield is no longer for any tactics, but purely for one breath: My brothers are almost dead, so what’s the point of living alone? It’s better to die together, and we can still show off together at the Palace of Hell.
gossip.
Of the 22 infantry companies that entered the position, all four of them were killed, but no one retreated.
Let’s fight like hell! This was the only last slogan of the soldiers.
The Major General of the 433rd Brigade, who was in charge of the right-wing battlefield, rushed to the main central position. This was the first time that Tang Dao saw the Sichuan Army Major General who succeeded the Sichuan Army Lieutenant General as the commander of the 145th Division after the Sichuan Army Lieutenant General committed suicide.
The middle-aged man with a stocky build and a calm face did not shed tears like the commander who was standing alone in front of the array of corpses. Instead, he knelt down.
As a major general, he knelt in front of his ordinary military brothers.
"Brothers! Let's go. I, Tong Yi, will come to find you in this life!" The Sichuan Army Major General raised his head to the sky and howled loudly.
Like a lone wolf who has lost his companions.
The roar echoed among the mountains stained with blood.
Many years later, after the major general brigade commander who had been promoted to lieutenant general died, his descendants scattered his ashes in this mountain according to his last wish.
General, your wish finally comes true.
That should be the most peaceful and peaceful moment in a soldier's life.
There is no mausoleum. The nearly 1,400 corpses who died on the spot used the trenches as their tombs. The two thousand people who were still alive used soil to fill up the positions where they fought for every inch of land during the day. Below, they slept who had protected them with their lives on this position.
of soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers in the distance could only hear the sound of pickaxes and shovels moving earth from the mountains opposite, and they thought it was the Chinese digging trenches overnight again.
When I think about the number of trenches that will appear as dense as a spider web overnight, I feel chilly and helpless at the same time.
But for Li Shoushan and the two Japanese majors, this was proof enough to confirm that the stubborn Chinese soldiers would still resist.
Throughout the night, there were frequent telegrams from the Japanese military in the Guangde area, and the Japanese Navy even promised to send a formation of 24 bombers.
Since the Chinese position is so strong, if the entire mountain is razed to the ground, there will be no position that the Japanese Empire cannot conquer.
Even the unlucky boy of the 36th Infantry Brigade, who had been dozens of kilometers away, received a telegram from Ushijima Mitsuru, ordering them to set off early the next morning to cooperate with the Kunisaki detachment to conquer Guangde County.
As for the 1st Brigade of the Jingan Army, although it is also in the imperial army, it is only on the same level as military dogs and is not qualified to appear frequently in battle reports.
But the first to occupy a position that cannot be conquered for a long time is the military dog. We provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.:.
