Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters are not even fur
The Japanese troops on the front line of Qingshilizi did not retreat but advanced, which made the Second Regiment of the Duyi Brigade, which was originally preparing for a Camel's Hump battle and had been deployed on the offensive, appear extremely passive.
Not to mention, the Japanese troops who were almost in the opposite direction suddenly arrived near the 409 Highlands, which was only one kilometer away from Asahi Mountain in a straight line.
If it weren't for the effective fire support of artillery and aviation, the chaotic position of the Second Regiment would have been attacked from the Qingshilizi front line, and the more than 700 Japanese troops who were desperately trying to attack Asahi Mountain like crazy had broken through. When Sui Changqing
When a temporarily transferred battalion based on the engineer company directly under the Second Regiment of the One Brigade arrived, the Second Regiment, which was caught off guard, stabilized its position.
After receiving the report from the Second Regiment, Du Kaishan and Sui Changqing could hardly believe their eyes, and they did not expect that after the water source along the Chaori Mountain line was cut off, the Japanese army not only did not abandon the Chaori Mountain Fortress Group. Judging from the current battlefield development situation,
Instead, they made a move to shrink all the troops to the front line of Mount Asahi.
This move of the Japanese army made Du Kaishan and Sui Changqing, two battle-hardened veterans, unable to figure out what the real fighting intentions of the Japanese army were. Chaori Mountain without water is now a dead place. How could the Japanese army suddenly abandon the Qingshilizi line?
, neither breaking out of the encirclement, nor clinging to water sources and stockpiling Qingshilizi with the same ammunition and food. Instead, they desperately tried to counterattack on the front line of Asahi Mountain?
Du Kaishan knew clearly that after the Japanese troops in the Shenghongshan Fortress Group in the north and the Madashan Fortress Group in the south were eliminated, Chaori Mountain, which was not ranked high in the entire Dongning Fortress, became the support point of the entire Dongning Fortress.
and the fortress with the strongest firepower.
Although the largest caliber artillery in Asahi Mountain is only a 75mm mountain cannon and a 150mm heavy mortar, among the Dongning fortress group that has lost 80% of its power, it has become the one with the strongest firepower, and the fortifications are also the most powerful.
The strongest one. But without the water source, how long can they hold on even if they retreat into Asahi Mountain? Do they really want to die together?
Although the real intention of the Japanese army's action was not clear for the time being, in Du Kaishan's view, the abnormality of the situation was a monster. For the Japanese army on the Qingshilizi front line to make such an action, there must be some corresponding tactical arrangement, and it can even be said that
It's to cover up some tactical purposes.
After Du Kaishan carefully inspected the terrain around Chaori Mountain, he did not find any abnormalities. But Du Kaishan knew that the Japanese army had begun to build a group of fortresses here since 1934, and they were extremely familiar with the terrain, mountains, rivers, and hydrology here.
Familiar. The Japanese army definitely had their purpose in doing this.
Du Kaishan, who had been thinking for a long time but could not figure out the true intention of the Japanese army, could not help but wonder: "Are the words of the Japanese army translator and labor captain a lie? The water source of Chaori Mountain is not only the one in Shenghongshan Fortress, but also another one.
Are there other water sources? The Japanese army transferred the Japanese troops on the Qingshilizi frontline back to Asahi Mountain, because they wanted to concentrate their forces and continue to hold on to this strongest position among the Japanese-controlled positions in front of them?"
After just thinking about it, Du Kaishan gave up the idea. He had already deployed troops outside Qingshilizi. When the opponent was already under his nose, it was impossible for the Japanese army to retreat smoothly from Qingshilizi to Chaori Mountain.
Maybe. Unless their commander had a headache and used hundreds of Japanese troops to test how many enemy troops there were on his possible breakout route to facilitate a breakout. Du Kaishan was puzzled by the unusual behavior of the Japanese army.
Although the tactical intention of the Japanese army's move has not been figured out, in any case, the Japanese army broke away from the favorable position with a complete fortification group and forced it from the Qingshilizi front line. It can even be said that the retreat to the Chaori Mountain line regardless of the cost was for Du Kaishan.
A rare fighter opportunity. Although he did not guess the Japanese army's true combat intention, Du Kaishan knew that this was a rare opportunity for him.
As long as the Japanese troops on the Qingshilizi front line are forced to retreat towards the Asahi Mountain line first, the remaining Asahi Mountain and Mulu Mountain front lines are already alone. Even if I don't fight, I will trap them to death. No matter what, I will eat this Japanese army first.
Besides, after making up his mind, Du Kaishan, in addition to leaving a reinforced battalion to continue besieging the Japanese fortress of Asahi Mountain, strengthened all the forces at hand to encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops who broke through Qingshilizi.
Although this Japanese army is strong, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength and firepower. Under the intensive firepower of their opponents and the siege from all sides, the effective forces quickly consumed the embers. Only one kilometer away from the Asahi Mountain, their tough and reckless
The retreat with casualties finally came to a halt. Faced with the enemy's siege, the Japanese army, which had almost exhausted most of its combat troops on the road from Qingshilizi to Chaori Mountain, could no longer attack.
The fact that the Japanese army could not attack did not mean that Du Kaishan would give up. After the Japanese army stopped attacking and prepared to defend the spot, the troops mobilized by Du Kaishan quickly attacked. After an hour and a half of hard fighting, the last 200 or so people of the remaining Japanese army were reduced.
In a ravine.
It's just that this Japanese army is very stubborn. Even though they were compressed into a ravine with extremely unfavorable terrain and could almost be called a dead place, they still put up a desperate resistance. At this time, the Japanese soldiers who had been shooting at the slightest sign of trouble before were still fighting hard.
The Asahi Mountain Fortress looked completely different from before, appearing unusually silent.
When the Japanese troops on the front line of Qingshilizi attacked five kilometers away from Chaori Mountain, their firepower gradually weakened. When the Japanese troops at Qingshilizi made their final desperate resistance, they were completely silent. Although the Japanese troops at the two locations were only one kilometer apart in the end, the Japanese troops at Chaori Mountain
But he just sat back and watched his friendly forces being consumed bit by bit without any support or coordination, not even artillery support.
It turns out that the Asahiyama Japanese army, which can be said to be a military force, changed its previous approach after the friendly forces were already under their noses. Not only did they not send troops to respond, but they sat back and watched the friendly forces being wiped out, without firing a single shot, and even the original artillery support was fired.
The abnormal behavior that also stopped made Du Kaishan puzzled.
Whether it was on the battlefield in Guan Guan, or after being captured in the Northeast and joining the Anti-Japanese War, Du Kaishan had a lot of dealings with the Japanese army. He knew that although the Japanese army often cut off the tail of geckos and gave up part of it when the war situation was unfavorable.
It is a tactic of using force to block the enemy, but it will never be done without saving lives.
When Du Kaishan, who was thinking repeatedly but failed to understand their true intentions, looked a little distracted, his eyes fell on a small river in front of his headquarters that should have originated from Chaori Mountain, but now has dried up.
Suddenly he was startled: "It's broken, the Japanese troops in Chaori Mountain have escaped."
Looking at Du Kaishan's frown, Sui Changqing said with some confusion: "Commander, what's wrong? Seeing that the battle on the front line of Dongning Fortress is about to come to an end, why do you look so sad instead? Is it Wang?
What's the problem Commander?"
Hearing Sui Changqing's inquiry, Du Kaishan pointed to the dried river in front of him with a wry smile: "Old Sui, why didn't I think of it? The underground passages built by the Japanese in the central areas of each fortress group are not only connecting
It is more likely that an underground passage leading to other directions will be built in the surrounding fortresses."
"Why do you think I'm so stupid? We found tens of thousands of workers' bones in just a labor cemetery in Laochengzigou, Daduchuan. The secret documents of the Japanese army seized in Dongning County also clearly show that the construction of the entire Dongning
The Japanese army used more than 170,000 workers in the fortress. And now, except for a few of these workers who were silenced by the Japanese army during our attack, and the tens of thousands of people we rescued, at least nearly 100,000 are still missing.
.”
"It is impossible to say that all these workers were killed by the Japanese army after the fortress was completed. In other words, most of the workers' skeletons were built for the entire Dongning Fortress Group and were brutally enslaved to death by the Japanese army. So many people died.
, I’m afraid what we currently know about the Dongning Fortress Group is still just a fragment.”
"How many underground fortifications are there in the entire Dongning? How many external tunnels and secret passages are there and where they lead? We simply can't find out in a short time. After these days of fighting, I even have the feeling
I feel like this will be a mystery that no one else can figure out except the Japanese builders."
"I only thought about the tenacity of the Japanese, but I forgot that the Japanese are not stupid, let alone stubborn. They will run away when the situation is unfavorable and nothing can be done. And if they really want to run away, then
His escape skills are quite superb.
"First, the 29th Division of the Japanese Army ran away under No. 3's nose, and then the 12th Division, after playing a trick on Wang Xiaoming, detoured back to the Soviet Union. With so many lessons learned before me, I chose
Selective forgetting. Too careless, too careless.”
"Old Sui, please report the situation here to the Commander of the Second Column and Chief of Staff Ma Chunsheng. And telegraph our troops left behind in Muling to be on guard at the junction of Muling and Dongning to guard against this wave of attacks.
The Japanese troops rushed into the territory of Muling. I was also told by telegram that all troops heading south must pay attention to their rear."
At this point in Du Kaishan's words, based on Sui Changqing's experience, he already understood what he meant, but he was a little shocked and said: "Commander, you said that there is a secret underground passage leading to the outside world in Chaori Mountain. And the Japanese troops on the Qingshilizi front line suddenly went crazy.
, just to attract the attention of our army and cover the secret retreat of the Japanese troops in the Asahi Mountain Fortress through underground passages? Is this unlikely?"
"This area of dozens of miles is now in our hands. If the Japanese army retreats through secret underground passages, they will have to withdraw directly to the Hunchun line. And from here to Hunchun, there is a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers. How big does this underground passage need to be built?
How long does the project take?”
"You must know that it is an extremely difficult project to excavate a tunnel of more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers underground without damaging the surface features. If it is as you guessed, then the entire Dongning
We really don’t even scratch the surface of the fortress group. Judging from what we know so far, it’s possible that the entire Dongning underground has been dug into a spider web by the Japanese army.”
