In this air battle, the Chinese Air Force had the upper hand.
At this time, fierce battles between the Chinese and Japanese air forces were mainly carried out along the Yangtze River. The Japanese planes bombed Fujin Mountain many times but never encountered Chinese air force fighters. Gradually, they became careless and even escorted fighter jets. They never dreamed that
Today, Chinese Air Force fighter jets will rush to the Fujin Mountain battlefield to carry out aerial strangulation. Therefore, although the Japanese army has 24 bomber aircraft, the Chinese Air Force has only 8 fighter jets. Just like a wolf among sheep, it uses the speed and flexibility of fighter jets.
, chased the Japanese bombers and launched an attack, killing two Japanese planes as soon as they came up. The little Japanese bombers were so frightened that they no longer cared about bombing and strafing, and fled in a hurry.
Of course, escaping is not possible. Finally, there is a chance for fighter jets to kill bombers. How can the young men of the Chinese Air Force be so soft? They chase the Japanese bombers and spit out tongues of fire. This time it is even more lively. In order to reduce weight, the Japanese bombers improve their ability to escape.
With such speed, they hurriedly dropped the bombs. Many bombs were dropped on the Japanese positions, which made the little Japanese cry for their fathers and mothers. After crying and shouting, they did not forget to curse.
By the time the Little Devil Fighter Squadron arrived, the air battle was over, and the Chinese Air Force fighter squadron had finished the battle and retreated. Only half of the 24 Japanese bombers returned, and the remaining 12 were included in the heroic record of the Chinese Air Force.
Seeing that the Air Force destroyed so many Japanese bombers, Song Xilian breathed a sigh of relief and felt that it was impossible for the Japanese Army to organize large-scale bombings today. The Battle of Fujin Mountain was relatively easier to fight. He quickly sent a report to the headquarters to ask for Air Force heroes.
achievement.
Who would have thought that the little devil didn't think so.
The commander of the 13th Division, Lieutenant General Ogisu Tatehei, is determined to capture the main position of Mount Fujin today. You must know that his 13th Division has been attacking Mount Fujin for eight days. Just to replenish the troops is enough.
It was replenished four times. This time, Shunroku Hata once again gave him enough troops, ammunition, and a heavy artillery brigade. This was not to let him travel with heavy troops, but to quickly capture Fujin Mountain and move west quickly.
If you can't capture Fujin Mountain today, where will you put your face?
Originally, Ogisu Rippei was counting on the Japanese aviation force to clear the way for him. Seeing that he had lost so many fighter planes, Ogisu Rippei knew that the aviation force would not be dispatched for him again in a short time. He cursed the Chinese Air Force for being cunning, and then
After scolding the aviation guys for a few times, the snow water in Hokkaido was poured into their heads. They did not equip the bomber formation with escort fighters, causing such heavy losses. After cursing, Ogisu Rihei made a decision and ordered all units to step up the attack.
Black Qian must capture the main position of Mount Fujin.
Under the strict orders of Ogisu Rihei, the Japanese heavy artillery brigade and the Nineteen Mountains Artillery Regiment of the 13th Division concentrated their firepower to provide fire cover for the troops. The 13th Division was fully mobilized, from frontal positions to flank positions,
Wave after wave of continuous attacks were launched against Fujin Mountain.
Zhang Xin's company has never left its position since the morning of the battle. Only during the air battle between the two sides' aircraft did Zhang Xin and his brothers rest for a while and eat dry food.
The Japanese army fired artillery. First, they fired a volley of heavy artillery and mountain artillery. The shells fell to the ground and stirred up dust. The entire position was shrouded in smoke.
Chen Ruihe, the commander of the 36th Division, personally called to inquire about the Japanese shelling casualties. He reported that several weak bunkers were hit by Japanese heavy artillery, and all the brothers were choked to death inside. He told Zhang Xin to pay close attention to the Japanese movements and resolutely attack them.
Defeat the Japanese attack.
Before Zhang Xin could report to the division commander, the phone line was disconnected. Zhang Xin jumped out of the shelter and was about to call someone to check the line when he saw white smoke coming out of a shell falling to the ground in front of him.
Zhang Xin's mind was shaken. The stupid little devil had released poison gas! He turned around and called his brothers to guard against poison gas. He also jumped back to the shelter, grabbed a towel, dipped it in the bucket, and covered his mouth and nose.
Fortunately, the 71st Army has been fighting on the front line since the Battle of Songhu and is familiar with the Japanese tactics. Water and towels are provided on the battlefield for easy access. The soldiers covered their mouths and noses with wet towels and then poisoned the Japanese.
Certain precautions were taken to make up for the lack of gas masks. However, despite this, some soldiers still lacked precautions and were poisoned and suffocated.
After the Japs released the poison gas, they didn't wait too long before the little Japs wearing gas masks sneaked up.
Although Zhang Xin and the others had made preparations for poison prevention, some brothers were still poisoned. In the shelter, there was a lot of coughing on the position. Zhang Xin checked and found that several brothers were suffocating, so he quickly sent someone to carry them down for rescue. Just now
After hurriedly handling the treatment of the wounded, the little Japs came up. Zhang Xin saw that the Japs were approaching the position, shouted "Kill the Japs", picked up the submachine gun and started to fire. The brothers didn't care at this time.
If the poisonous gas is no longer poisonous, use machine guns, rifles, and grenades to attack them and fight back with all your might.
The little Japs didn't expect that the defenders could still resist after the poison gas bombs were used, so they suffered a loss when they came up. Unfortunately, there were too many Japs, and their marksmanship was very good. The soldiers who threw grenades from the defenders were shot one after another. Soon, they were shot.
, the Japanese grenade launchers, infantry artillery and heavy machine guns followed the infantry and opened fire.
The Japs' infantry artillery and grenades are very accurate, and are definitely a weapon against the defenders in the trenches. The defenders did not have the artillery to suppress the enemy, so they could only watch as the Japs' heavy firepower overwhelmed the soldiers.
I couldn't raise my head. Even if a soldier occasionally wanted to raise his head to aim and shoot, he would be hit by the Japanese's light and heavy machine guns.
Zhang Xin originally thought that he could block the little Japs in front of the position, but seeing the casualties among his brothers increasing, the position constantly being lost, and the Japs coming in groups, he could only retreat while fighting, taking the surviving brothers with him.
Go into the shelter and defend.
After retreating into the shelter, the Japanese occupied the trenches outside and used the trenches to exchange fire with the defenders.
Zhang Xin knew that this was not the way to go, and sooner or later they would all die here. But at this time, not only was there no order to retreat, but even if there was an order to retreat, they would not be able to retreat.
Looking back at the brothers following him, Zhang Xin said: "Brothers, the Japs' heavy artillery will fall soon, and this shelter will be our tomb. It's a pity that we can't even drink a bowl of wine before we die."
, I’m sorry brothers.”
A soldier turned around while shooting and shouted: "Sir, if you can't drink enough Zhuangxing wine, it's nothing. I haven't even touched a woman's breasts!"
Another soldier shouted: "In my next life, I will definitely go to Japan. I heard that the little Japanese devils are so good, with tender skin and tender flesh. Men will bow as soon as they enter the door and say that they have worked hard. Then I will
Just work hard and work hard!”
When Zhang Xin saw that the morale of the brothers was very high and none of them peed their crotch, he yelled: "Yes, in the next life I will take the brothers to travel all over Japan, sleep with Japanese beauties, and eat Japanese food. Brothers, fight!"
"
Zhang Xin's shelter was built based on a stone cave. There were several rows of stone walls on the outside. It was very thick and solid. The grenades of the little devils were not good enough. Even the shells of the 92 Infantry Artillery that they could shoot flatly were not heavy enough and could hit them.
Basically, the above was of little use. This shelter blocked the way for the Japs to attack from the front, and ammunition was stored in it. Under the desperate resistance of Zhang Xin and his brothers, the Japs were unable to attack.
The commander of the 26th Brigade, the commander of the 26th Brigade, who personally directed the attack, was furious when he saw this. He cursed several times and ordered the troops to attack in a roundabout way from both wings. At the same time, he ordered the flat-fire cannon to be pushed up to kill the defenders.
fortress.
After giving the order, the seductress Numada Tokushige went to the shelter in person to direct the firing of the cannon.
The little Japanese's flat-fire cannon was pushed up, and the shooting preparations were quickly completed. At this time, Numata Tokushige suddenly stood up, pulled out his command knife, pointed at the cover where Zhang Xin and the others were holding, and roared.
Say "Uday!"
Zhang Xin had already seen the movement of the Japanese troops from the firing hole, and knew that the enemy of his shelter was coming. He was thinking about how to pull some backers before he died, when he saw a Japanese officer standing up from the trench to direct the artillery bombardment.
Without even thinking about it, the trigger in Zhang Xin's hand was pulled directly, and a barrage of bullets was fired at Numata Tokushige.
It was also the old Japanese Tokushige Numata who deserved to die. Seeing that the brigade commander was exposed, several of his guards hurriedly rushed to drag him. As a result, most of Zhang Xin's bullets hit the guards of Numata Tokushige.
, although Numata Tokushige himself was hit by several bullets, he avoided critical injuries and was only seriously injured.
While Numada was seriously injured, the Japanese artillery also opened fire. The shells followed the firing holes and penetrated into the defender's shelter. With a loud bang, Zhang Xin's gunfire stopped.
There was a brief calm on the position. On the Japs side, the brigade commander was seriously injured and his life or death was uncertain. They were busy rescuing them. On the defender side, the shelter Zhang Xin and the others were holding on to had been destroyed by Japanese artillery fire. Their blood was frozen forever.
On Fujin Mountain.
The position held by Zhang Xin's company was only a corner of the Fujin Mountain battlefield. On this day, the fully replenished Japanese 13th Division launched a frenzied attack on various positions in Fujin Mountain. Even the 16th and 15th Divisions who had come up for reinforcements were involved.
Battle. At four o'clock in the afternoon, due to the emergency situation and the heavy casualties of the Thirteenth Division, the Japanese aviation bombers, escorted by fighter jets, once again flew over Fujin Mountain and bombed wildly, setting off waves of bloodshed.
The battle has been in a state of intensification. At the most critical moment, the Japanese army not only separated the main position of Fujin Mountain from the two flank positions, but also attacked the core positions of the 36th Division, 88th Division, and 61st Division several times. Song Xilian personally wielded a submachine gun and led the reserve team to attack the Japanese army.
They launched a counterattack and drove the Japanese out with their passion.
By six o'clock in the afternoon, the Japs were getting more and more crazy. Planes and artillery bombed almost every position in Fujin Mountain like rain.
At the critical moment, Shen Zhisheng, the commander of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, and Zhang Shaoxun, the deputy brigade commander, suddenly discovered that Chiang's wife Soong Meiling appeared in the trench dressed in ordinary soldier uniforms.
The two of them couldn't believe their eyes and hurriedly went to salute Soong Meiling and asked her why she was here.
Song Meiling smiled and held the sweaty and muddy hands of the two, and said that the 71st Army fought well and showed the majesty of the national army. They were worthy of being Chinese men and national heroes. The journey was long and transportation was inconvenient. She did not bring any condolences, so she brought Several trucks of ammunition and weapons were brought along, as well as a small medical team. One of the very smart doctors was her cousin Miss Ni Hua.
Shen Zhisheng said excitedly: "Ah, madam, at this time, there is no better condolence gift than ammunition, weapons and medicines."
Shen Zhisheng was about to report to Song Xilian, but Song Meiling stopped him, saying that the battle was tense and life and death, and Song Xilian should not be affected in commanding the battle. She asked him to contact the military quartermaster to receive ammunition, and arranged for Ni Hua's medical team to work in the field rescue center. He and a group of guards turned around and went to the position to rescue the wounded.
Shen Zhisheng had no choice but to ask Zhang Shaoxun not to do anything but to protect Mrs. Chiang's safety.
The news that Mrs. Chiang personally went to Fujin Mountain to fight the enemy side by side with her brothers quickly spread throughout the 88th Division's positions. The morale of the soldiers soared. Although the Japanese army had strong firepower and soldiers died every minute, no matter how hard the Japs continued to bombard them, After indiscriminate bombings and desperate charges, the warriors of the 88th Division firmly held the main position on the right flank of Mount Fujin.
It finally got dark, and the Japs seemed unable to attack after a whole day of attacking. Song Xilian took a deep breath, said, "It's such a long day," and sat down on the ground. Only after sitting on the ground did she realize that , the soil on the top of Fujin Mountain has been turned into soft dust by the little devils, which is more than a foot thick. When a person sits down, his buttocks sink into the soil. Song Xilian can't care about this, let alone groan. His stomach growled, and he ordered his staff to immediately count the casualties of each unit and check ammunition reserves.
As soon as the arrangements were made, a staff officer reported that Mrs. Chiang was in the position after receiving a report from Commander Shen of the 262nd Brigade.
Song Xilian was surprised. Last time Mrs. Chiang was on her way to visit the troops in Huangmei, she was targeted by a Japanese plane. She was injured and almost died for her country. Why did she come to the front line again?
He didn't want to think too much and went to see his wife quickly. It was serious to protect her. Besides, Song Xilian was also anxious to know whether there was any fighting on the front line of Xiaojieling and whether the Japanese had cut off his retreat. The 87th Division had already discovered the Japanese strategy. The troops were outflanking and there was already a firefight during the day. This little devil is as big as a small devil and can do anything, but don't let them detour behind you. Now that Mrs. Jiang is here, she must know the front line of Xiaojieling and even the entire I also took the opportunity to ask her about the situation of the battle in Wuhan.
Song Xilian quickly stood up and followed the staff member down to see Mrs. Jiang.
After not walking far, a group of people walked along the trench.
Song Xilian took a few steps to meet him. Before he could speak, the leading soldier opened his mouth and said: "Yin Guo, thank you for your hard work!"
Song Xilian was shocked. Isn't this Mrs. Jiang's voice? She quickly took the flashlight from the staff member's hand and looked at it. Who was it if it wasn't Song Meiling? Why was she wearing an ordinary soldier's uniform and a steel helmet?
Song Xilian hurriedly saluted. After saluting, he quickly asked: "Madam, it's so dangerous, why are you here?"
Song Meiling said: "The soldiers are fighting the Japanese on the front line. I came to see everyone."
After speaking, Song Meiling told Song Xilian that she had brought medicines and several trucks of weapons and ammunition, which had been handed over to Brigadier Shen before dark. The small medical team she had brought with her had also started working and was rescuing the wounded.
Song Xilian was moved to tears. After saluting again, she stopped being polite and led Song Meiling to the headquarters of the 71st Army on the top of Mount Fujin.
Song Meiling didn't know much about military affairs and couldn't tell Song Xilian why. She just told Song Xilian to cooperate closely with Sun Lianzhong. She must not think that she was from Huangpu and led a powerful force composed of the Chairman's guard troops. She looked down on other troops, so that The Japanese army took advantage of the loophole.
Song Xilian wanted to know what Liu Yimin, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, was doing, and why he had not launched an attack on the Japanese army for so long?
In fact, Song Meiling didn't know much about the instructor's strength and details. She wanted to get some facts from Ni Hua several times. As a result, Ni Hua said that she had not actually worked as an instructor for long and had no idea about the situation in the army. Understand that the Nationalist Government does not pay the instructors, and even food and clothing have to be taken care of by themselves. The instructors are constantly fighting, and it is difficult to say that there are no bullets in the soldiers' guns. However, Liu Yimin hates the Japanese invaders so much that he must Fighting every day.
Song Meiling knew that what Ni Hua said must be true to a certain extent. She herself may not really understand the strength of the instructors. In addition, the Japanese army dispatched such a large force to encircle and suppress the instructors last time. Although the main force of the instructors successfully broke through the encirclement, they also surrounded and annihilated the 116th Division. It is impossible not to lose the main force without losing oneself. Therefore, when Song Xilian asked this question, Song Meiling said: "I heard Mr. Jiang say that the Eighth Route Army's departments are quite effective in cooperating with each other. The northern section of Pinghan Road, Jinpu Road, and the east of Longhai Road Duan, the Japanese troops on the Tongpu Railway are harassed by the Eighth Route Army every day. The Japanese offensive on the battlefield in eastern Henan has shown signs of weakening recently. There may be a problem with the supply line. Don't worry, Liu Yimin is an unpredictable person. We don't know what he is doing. , the little devil doesn’t even know. Just wait, he will make the little devil unable to sleep.”
After thinking about it, Song Meiling told Song Xilian: "Liu Yimin once told Mr. Jiang that the little Japanese had already exhausted their troops in launching the Wuhan Battle. After this battle, the little Japanese might be stuck with limited troops and would stop major strategic offensives, and the War of Resistance would begin. Strategic stalemate stage. Mr. Jiang said, although we know that Liu Yimin is likely to attack a certain strategic point of the Japanese army at a crisis moment to support the Wuhan battle. However, we cannot rely on others. The Wuhan battle must be fought by ourselves. You don’t care what other people think.”
Song Xilian hurriedly stood at attention and saluted again, saying that the principal and his wife should rest assured that the 71st Army would not disappoint expectations, resolutely block the Japanese, and ensure that the headquarters' battle intentions were realized.
After sending off Soong Meiling, the Battle of Fujin Mountain continued for several more days. The brutal battle caused heavy casualties to both the enemy and ourselves. Although the 71st Army was seriously injured, it had to be ordered to retreat; the 13th Division and the reinforcing 10th Division The Sixth Division and the Fifteenth Division also regarded Mount Fujin as a sad place. The little Japs tried their best, using poisonous gas from planes and cannons, but in the end they still dropped more than 10,000 corpses at the foot of Mount Fujin.
