Jiro Hashisaka is a very good devil. Those who have a little bit of knowledge about the history of the Japanese Warring States Period must have heard of the Sakayasu Seven-Ben under the tent of Hideyoshi Hashiba. After Oda Nobunaga's death, two generals, Hideyoshi Hashiba and Katsuya Shibata, fought a strategic decisive battle with Sakayasu in order to be the boss. The so-called Sakayasu Seven-Ben refers to the Sakayasu Seven-Ben under the corps of Hideyoshi Hashiba's command who made great contributions.

There is a samurai named Katsura Mitsuji in the seven guns of the Guyura who was shot and picked up the number one powerful general under Shibata Katsuraki, and was famous.

Jiro Weisaka is the descendant of Yasuji, who has such a prominent family background. Jiro Weisaka has always been awesome in the army. Not to mention his colleagues, he even ignored the commander of the General Division. At a military meeting, Jiro Weisaka even openly mocked Sadao Utsushima, the commander of the 18th Division, as a coward.

Jiro Weisaka's arrogant factor has almost been integrated into his bones. Of course, he would not tolerate the great achievements of the first trapped Nanjing being stolen by others. After planning with his deputy captain and several captains, Jiro Weisaka did not hesitate to send the 1st infantry brigade, which had been staying by his side as a reserve team, and occupied Yuhuatai before darkness.

Although Jiro Weisaka, an old devil, was arrogant, he had some vision and knew that Yuhuatai had an important influence on Nanjing City Defense. If he occupied Yuhuatai, he could not only suppress the national army on the front line of the Collector Lane, but also accurately shelled the Nanjing City Wall from a high place. Occupying Yuhuatai was equivalent to opening the gate of Nanjing City.

#############

Half an hour later, Yuhuatai, which was the last barrier to the southeastern defense line in Nanjing, was officially attacked by the Japanese army head-on.

The leader was the bomber group of Koji Wuben. Eight and nineteen four bombers came out of the clouds, and two roared and dived towards Meigang with a sharp scream.

The officers and soldiers of the 19th brigade on the position quickly hid in the anti-aircraft artillery hole.

Xu Shijiu poked his head out of the anti-aircraft hole and looked into the sky. He found that the Japanese bomber had almost dived vertically. He lamented in his heart that when the Battle of Songhu broke out, the pilot of the Little Japanese was still young and unfamiliar, but now, any pilot of the Little Japanese was able to perform difficult aerobatics.

The first two bombers that dived down were only a few dozen meters away from the ground. At the moment when the trajectory changed, two thirty-kilogram bombs barely whistled down from the abdomen. The next moment, the bombs hit the ground and exploded. One of the bombs landed near Xu Shijiu, exploding a section of trench on the spot. There was no need to know how many people were killed or injured.

But Koji Wuben's bombing had just begun. Then the second and two bombers dived down with a sharp roar. Then the third and fourth rounds, the fourth round, after the bombs were thrown, the first round in the air was pulled up and then dived down, and the second round of dive bombs began (each bomber carries six bombs).

In less than a moment, the entire Meigang was completely covered by the smoke and smoke from the explosion.

At this moment, the only thing Xu Shijiu could do was to hold his head with his hands and hide in the anti-cannon hole with his butt sticking out.

Half an hour later, the bomber group of Xiaojiwubao threw the bomb and flapped its wings and left. Xiaojiwubao's field cannon and the 1992 infantry cannon began to shell again. The only thing that is thankful is that Xiaojiwubao could not determine the shooting elements through meteorological observation soldiers, so the shelling accuracy was very poor. Most of the shells either flew over the head or fell on the slope.

But even so, the position of the 19th Brigade was still greatly damaged.

As soon as the shelling was over, Xu Shijiu came out of the anti-cannon hole. He didn't bother to shake off the dust on his head and let the company report the casualties. The casualties of each company were reported soon. About fifty people were killed, including more than twenty people, and more than ten others were seriously injured, which was probably rare to be saved.

Xu Shijiu was so heartbroken that he was bleeding. These were all veterans who had experienced many battles. They were bombed to death without even seeing the shadow of Xiaoji Wuben. They were really a loss, but what could they do? Who made the National Army have no artillery, let alone the Air Force? If the National Army has no artillery and air force, they would have to be ravaged by Xiaoji Wuben's artillery and air force.

Xu Shijiu was relieved that the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade did not feel depressed due to the Japanese bombing. These veterans from different regions and with different accents were even more exuding military blood under the Japanese bombing. Xu Shijiu could clearly feel the decisive will that came from their eyes.

The Japanese army was about to attack, and Xu Shijiu arranged to rescue the wounded and ordered the officers and soldiers to repair the fortifications as soon as possible.

Gao Shenxing turned back from the front-line observation post on the mountain ridge and reported: "Captain, Xiao Riwu is here."

Xu Shijiu opened the gun holster in a flash, picked up the box cannon and yelled: "Brothers, Xiao Riwu is here, prepare for the battle!"

The veterans who were repairing the fortifications dropped their engineer shovels, picked up the guns, loaded the bullets, and unloaded the grenades at their waists, unscrewed the cover in front of them, without noise, cursing, and no panic. All the veterans seemed calm and calm, staring at the edges of the mountain in front of them coldly through the sight, waiting for the little Japanese man to emerge.

#############

It was almost about to rush to the top of the mountain, but the Kuomintang army never appeared on the edge. Captain Okazaki Ken, the squadron leader of the 4th squadron of the 1st Battalion of the 36th Japanese Infantry Regiment, began to be uneasy. This old Japanese devil was an old qualified squadron leader. Due to his poor popularity, he had no way to advance, but was very good at summarizing and learning. He had already smelled the danger.

It's so abnormal that the Chinese army does not occupy the top of the mountain to suppress firepower.

When the mountain top ridge was less than fifty meters away, Ken Okazaki suddenly raised his right hand and spread it out in teams. More than 70 Japanese soldiers who were climbing up the hillside stopped and lay on the ground again. The fire support team behind quickly set up the Type 92 heavy machine gun, grenade launcher, and mortar.

Ken Okazaki ordered the team leader again and said, "Suzuki, you can bring an infantry team first."

"Hai." The team leader named Ken Okazaki bowed heavily, immediately got up from the ground, waved his hand back, and after more than a dozen Japanese soldiers got up, followed Suzuki with bayonets and continued to walk up the mountain. After a while, Suzuki led the Japanese soldiers with more than a dozen Japanese soldiers barely crossed the edge of the mountain, and was about to reach the top of the mountain.

However, at this critical moment, a fierce gunshot suddenly sounded behind the top of the mountain. Suzuki reacted quickly and fell to the ground. While lying down, he could only hear a bang on his head. After lying on the ground, he took off the helmet on his head and saw that there was a quilt on the top of the helmet that had been hit by the national army. With a slight difference, he was shot in the head.

Suzuki escaped by chance. Most of the thirteen Japanese soldiers who went up the mountain with him were newly recruited recruits, and their reactions were several beats slower than Suzuki. Six of them were directly beaten into sieves and killed on the spot. The remaining seven Japanese soldiers were also injured to varying degrees and fell on the edges and wailed.

As a veteran, Suzuki knew that the crisis had not been resolved, so he immediately rolled down the slope. Sure enough, shortly after Suzuki rolled down the slope, more than a dozen grenades were thrown out from the top platform. After the continuous explosion, the seven Japanese soldiers who were originally injured had no sound.

"Bagayaru." The whole group lost an infantry team, and Okazaki Ken cursed so much that he was so angry that he cursed.

Suzuki rolled and crawled to Ken Okazaki and reported: "Captain, there are Chinese soldiers on the top of the mountain!"

Ken Okazaki picked up Suzuki and asked, "What is the terrain on the top of the mountain, and how many Chinese defenders are there?"

Suzuki said: "The top of the mountain is a large platform. The trench fortifications of the Chinese Army are built in the middle of the platform, at least fifty meters away from the edge line. However, a large number of foxholes were dug between the edge line and the trench fortifications. It is not clear how many Chinese Army there are."

"Nani, the top of the mountain is a large platform. The Chinese army's fortifications are built in the center of the platform, at least fifty meters away from the edge?" Okazaki Ken keenly realized the greatness of the national army in building fortifications like this.

The Chinese army is hidden behind the ridgeline on the top of the mountain. Artillery observers cannot observe the bullet point and cannot perform ballistic corrections. The killing effects of field artillery and infantry artillery are difficult to guarantee.

In other words, conventional shelling is simply a waste of shells.

The only thing that can pose a threat to the national military positions on the top platform is the dive bombing of the aviation army. However, the number of aviation bombers is limited, and there are more than a dozen battlefields that need support, and the number of bombs is not very sufficient. Until now, the logistics support of the Japanese-Japanese unmanned company has gradually become a bit difficult.

Artillery became a decoration, and the aviation army could not count on it, so they could only rely on infantry attacks.

But even if you are willing to invest in infantry to attack at any cost, the effect will not be much better. The terrain of Meigang is not wide enough, and the attacking party will be able to deploy at most one strengthening team at a time. If more than one team attacks, the formation will be too dense and will be easily killed by the fire of the National Army's machine guns. Squads will be put into the attack one by one, which has become a tactic of adding fuel.

Ken Okazaki realized that he had encountered a tough problem today, and even if he was not dead, he would have to take off a layer of skin after this battle.

It must be admitted that Okazaki Ken's battlefield insight is still quite keen and good at learning. Xu Shijiu's deployment of troops in Meigang left an extremely deep impression on him. As a result, three years later, the old Japanese used the same technique to in turn make the Eighth Route Army suffer a great loss in Guanjiawan, and even President Peng was beaten to the point of being beaten to no aura.
