At four o'clock in the afternoon, a fierce battle was in full swing.
Li Qinglong was mounting a Type 92 heavy machine gun and firing fiercely at Guanxia. The barrage radiated out in a fan shape and knocked down the Japanese soldiers who were attacking from behind. However, the Japanese soldiers were obviously too ruthless and did not care.
They rushed forward with casualties. The ones in front fell down, and more Japanese soldiers immediately came to take their place.
After finishing a chain of bullets, Li Qinglong's heavy machine gun suddenly became mute. Taking advantage of this short gap, the Japanese heavy machine gun that Li Qinglong had just suppressed suddenly raised its head, and the dense rain of bullets immediately hit the mother's body.
Brick dust flew everywhere, and Li Qinglong was pressed under the battlements, unable to raise his head again.
"Grenade!" Li Qinglong yelled, "Where is the grenade?"
A veteran came up with a throwing tube in his arms, followed by two new recruits from Lunan. One of the recruits didn't make the right tactical moves. He held his head a little higher when he crawled forward, and he suddenly became confused.
The old Japanese soldier who was imprisoned was shot in the head, and then fell into a pool of blood without saying a word.
"Quickly." Li Qinglong yelled at the veteran, "kill that stupid heavy machine gun for me!"
The veteran rolled skillfully, and when he got up again, he had already taken advantage of the situation and hid behind the battlements next to Li Qinglong. Then he quickly added the grenade, looked up at the direction of the Japanese heavy machine gun, and then slightly adjusted the shot.
Corner, finally turned around and roared at the remaining recruit behind him: "Hurry, reload!"
The new recruit Danzi quickly took out a grenade from the ammunition box in his arms and quickly loaded it into the barrel.
Just hearing a "bang", the Japanese heavy machine gun that had hit the hardest in Guanxia immediately went mute. The recruit Danzi who was loading the grenade suddenly shouted excitedly: "Hit, platoon leader, hit..."
"Boom, boom, boom..." The violent sound of machine guns suddenly sounded.
The new recruit and the veteran manipulating the grenade were immediately beaten to pieces by the large-caliber machine cannon.
When Li Qinglong turned around to look around, he saw a Japanese fighter jet roaring past the tower. The machine cannon under the belly of the aircraft was still firing violently at the ground. Not far away, two soldiers carrying ammunition boxes had just climbed onto the tower and were captured.
The Japanese fighter jet's machine cannon hit them squarely, and the two of them were directly blocked and blown into four pieces!
"Whew..." Another shrill scream came across the sky.
When Li Qinglong raised his head quickly, he saw two Japanese bombers swooping down in front of Niangziguan, and two big lumps of "iron shit" roaring down. Li Qinglong's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he cursed fiercely and jumped forward at the same time.
, rolled into the two-meter-square crater at the fastest speed!
"Boom!" The lady closed the door and suddenly two huge clouds of smoke and dust rose up.
A large number of broken city bricks fell from the air, almost burying Li Qinglong alive!
After a long while, Li Qinglong, who was stunned by the shock, climbed up from the crater and roared at the top of his lungs: "Machine gun, use the machine gun to greet me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another Japanese bomber swooped down from the sky.
After the Japanese bomber dropped the bomb and was about to pull up again, the left wing suddenly caught fire, then it fell down and exploded into a huge firework directly in front of Niangzi Pass. Li Qinglong was stunned.
Looking back, I saw not far away, a veteran holding a crooked handle and also in a daze.
"Hey, good job!" Li Qinglong gave the veteran a thumbs up.
Before the veteran came to his senses, another Japanese fighter jet swooped down. The machine cannon under the aircraft dragged out a long barrage on the tower, and directly passed over the veteran. The veteran was speechless.
Without saying a word, he was directly beaten into a puddle of flesh and blood by the machine cannon, and he could no longer identify himself as a human being.
"Little devil, fuck your grandma!"
Li Qinglong's eyes suddenly turned red, and he immediately turned over and lay down behind the battlements. He set up the Type 92 heavy machine gun and fired fiercely at Guanxia. The few Japanese soldiers who rushed at the front were instantly beaten to pieces.
!
In front of Niangzi Pass, the headquarters of the 40th Infantry Brigade.
At twelve o'clock in the night, the commander of the 40th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, Major General Yamashita Keitake, was furious. The commander of his 79th Infantry Regiment, Colonel Morimoto Iichiro, and the commander of the 80th Infantry Regiment, Colonel Suzuki Kenji, had already
They were slapped no less than twenty times by Yamashita Jingwu, and their faces were so swollen that they almost looked like pig heads.
From two o'clock in the afternoon to twelve o'clock in the evening, for ten hours, the 79th Infantry Regiment and the 80th Infantry Regiment launched eight fierce attacks on Niangzi Pass, but they were still unable to break through the defense. The Chinese *** troops on the opposite side were like
It was a rock that firmly blocked Niangzi Pass. No matter how fiercely the Japanese army attacked, it remained unmoved.
"Baga, Baga Garu!" Yamashita Keiwu pointed at Morimoto Iichiro's nose and roared, "Yours, keep attacking. If you can't take down Niangziguan, prepare to commit seppuku!"
"Hai." Ichiro Morimoto lowered his head suddenly.
Before Ichiro Morimoto could turn around and leave, a major staff officer suddenly came to Yamashita Keiwu in a hurry, handed the message in his hand to Yamashita Keiwu, and said with a sad expression: "General, Your Excellency the division commander's farewell message! In addition, Your Excellency the division commander.
Order your Excellency the General to lead the 40th Infantry Brigade and withdraw to Taiyuan immediately!"
"What?" Yamashita Jingwu said horrified, "Farewell message?"
Immediately, Yamashita Jingwu suddenly grabbed the telegram, and after reading it in a hurry, his expression suddenly changed.
After a long while, Yamashita Keitake said to Morimoto Iichiro and Suzuki Kenji: "Order, the 79th Infantry Regiment and the 80th Infantry Regiment alternate cover and retreat in turn!"
Niangziguan.
Two green signal bombs slowly rose into the sky, and the Japanese soldiers who were attacking fiercely turned around and retreated. In less than a moment, they had completely withdrawn from Niangziguan.
The noisy and fierce battlefield suddenly fell silent.
After a moment of silence, the officers and soldiers fighting for their lives cheered.
Suddenly, the girl's moment became a sea of joy. The surviving officers and soldiers were jumping, shouting, laughing, crying, roaring, and shouting, using all imaginable ways to vent their inner emotions. At this moment
, even the dying and seriously injured soldiers were grinning, letting the red blood flow down the corners of their mouths.
They are the "first national battalion", the "first national battalion" that is invincible and invincible.
But Li Qinglong took out a lot of hanging things and peed on the hot barrel of the heavy machine gun, and then shook it vigorously in the direction of the Japanese retreat. What the hell? With such little ability, he still wants to break through the "National 1st Battalion"
"position!?
Ten miles east of Niangziguan, the headquarters of the Japanese 20th Division.
The Baoshan Division's general offensive began on time at six o'clock in the evening, and the fierce fighting lasted until ten thirty at night. Dozens of highlands along the Shitai Highway were all captured, and the Japanese 20th Division's defense line completely collapsed.
More than 10,000 members of the supplementary corps surrendered at the headquarters of the rural army. Almost all active soldiers in the baggage regiment, engineer regiment and field artillery regiment were killed in the battle. The military doctors in the field hospital and the nurses in the health team were all captured alive.
Lieutenant General Bunzaburo Kawagishi, commander of the 20th Division, led only a few dozen people from the division headquarters to retreat to a cave and fight stubbornly.
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, Kawagishi Bunzaburo sent farewell messages to the front army headquarters and the base camp, and ordered the Yamashita brigade to give up the attack on Niangziguan and withdraw to Taiyuan. After explaining the funeral arrangements, Kawagishi Bunzaburo knelt down facing the east in the cave, and then
He took off his military uniform and shirt and prepared to commit suicide by committing seppuku.
However, after holding the saber in his hand and gesturing at his abdomen for a long time, Kawagishi Bunzaburo just couldn't do it.
Next to them, the Japanese officers such as Chief of Staff Kushimura Kushiro of the division, Field Artillery Regiment Captain Hosokawa Tadayassu, Engineer Regiment Captain Nanbu Kaoru, and Baggage Regiment Captain Kato Nan all showed disdain on their faces.
The senior generals of the Great Japanese Empire did not even have the courage to commit seppuku, which is simply a shame to the empire!
In the end, it was Kuzo Kitura who "helped" kill Kawagishi Bunzaburo.
Then, Kimura Kuzo, Hosokawa Tadayasu and others forced dozens of people including the division's combat staff, communications staff, and confidential personnel to commit seppuku one after another. Finally, it was the turn of a few colonels. These colonels were really
A fanatical believer in Bushido, he raised his sword and committed seppuku without blinking an eye. Kuzou Kimura even cut a standard "ten" in his abdomen!
It is said that the Japanese warriors were also very particular about committing seppuku. The highest level was to cut the knife vertically, then stab it horizontally to the left and right, cut a "ten" in the abdomen, then hold the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, and kneel down facing the east.
But the body did not fall.
When Chi Chengfeng personally led the commando into the cave, he saw only corpses on the ground and a large number of burned documents. What made Chi Chengfeng sad was that the division flag of the 20th Division was also burned.
, five Japanese brigades and even divisions were wiped out when the Baoshan Division was established, but so far they have not received a single brigade or division flag!
Jingxing County, Baoshan Division Headquarters.
Liu Yi walked into the war room excitedly and said to Yue Weihan: "Military seat, great victory at Niangziguan!"
After saying this, Liu Yi added: "The headquarters of the Japanese 20th Division has been completely wiped out. The division commander Kawagishi Bunzaburo, the chief of staff Kushimura Kuzo and other middle and senior generals were either killed or committed seppuku. A total of 100,000 people were killed in this battle."
The enemy had more than 9,000 men and captured nearly 10,000 people. Another 2,000 people fled into the mountains. The only drawback was that the 40th Brigade, which was behind them, escaped."
"Chief of Staff, please be satisfied." Yue Weihan said, "This is an entire permanent division!"
At this moment, Yue Weihan felt like he was dreaming. The Japanese 20th Division was defeated like this?
Although one of the most elite infantry brigade escaped, the main force of the 20th Division was completely wiped out!
The 20th Division is one of the seventeen most elite permanent divisions of the Japanese army, and since it set foot on the Chinese battlefield, the 20th Division has hardly suffered any major losses, unlike the 5th, 6th, and 5th Divisions.
The 9th and 10th permanent divisions have been replaced several times, and their combat effectiveness has been reduced by several levels!
More importantly, the victory at Niangziguan was accomplished by Baoshan Division alone!
In the last great victory in Lunan, although the Baoshan Brigade also wiped out the main forces of the Japanese 5th and 10th Divisions, the Baoshan Brigade was backed by dozens of elite Japanese divisions, if not dozens of Japanese divisions.
The battle with the two Japanese armies ended in defeat for both sides. With the strength of the Baoshan Brigade at the time, it was simply impossible to achieve the great victory in Lunan!
"Send the report, send the report immediately!" Yue Weihan came to his senses and said to Liu Yi, "Report the victory to Wuhan and the Military Commission immediately!"
