Chapter 39 Bloody Battle of Fortress Mountain (1)
Xu Shijiu finally woke up from a coma. He was like a bear who had just woken up from hibernation. When he woke up, his body seemed a little stiff and clumsy, but after moving his legs a few times, it immediately became the same as usual. Veterans are like this. As long as they can move, you can hardly see that they are injured.
Looking around, Xu Shijiu found that it was already dark and the entire battlefield was silent.
With the lights scattered from the Japanese positions opposite, Xu Shijiu saw more than a dozen remaining soldiers of the 61st Division. They either squat, lie, or sit in trenches, almost all with wounds on their bodies. Through the dark night, they could vaguely see many figures crawling in the two main trenches in front and the fox pits in front.
Seeing all this clearly, Xu Shijiucai felt a little relieved.
No matter what, at least the main position of Fortress Mountain has not been lost. As long as you persist until dawn tomorrow, your 19th brigade can definitely arrive at Fortress Taiwan. If you persist until tomorrow evening, Zhong Song's Independent 20th Brigade should arrive no matter how slow it is, right? As long as Zhong Song's brigade arrives in time, the Wusong defense line will still be stable.
As for whether the remaining soldiers in front of you can hold on until dawn tomorrow, only God knows.
A burst of rapid footsteps interrupted Xu Shijiu's thoughts. Looking back, it was the leopard who hurriedly walked up to the front with two security team members. Seeing that Xu Shijiu had woken up, the leopard who breathed a sigh of relief, but said with a teasing voice: "You are awake. If you don't wake up again, my leopard is really yelling with your brothers."
Seeing the leopard, Xu Shijiu knew that the battle situation had not completely collapsed.
During this period when Xu Shijiu fell into a coma, the remnants of the National Army guarding Fortress Mountain were all commanding by SEALs. At that time, the SEALs briefly introduced the battle situation to Xu Shijiu. The outer positions of the Cannon Taiwan had been completely lost, and there were only less than 300 remaining in more than 600 remnants. Fortunately, the main position of Fortress Mountain was still there, and the National Army still had the capital to resist stubbornly.
Also, the Japanese army on the other side seemed to be tired of fighting, and the only tanks were also bombed.
Finally, the leopard said again: "Japan army just divided troops to the southwest of Fortress Mountain. I guess they were planning to take the back path. I was worried that I was unable to do anything in my clones. Fortunately, you woke up. Now we are in charge of one direction. Our Wusong Security Team dare not compare with the Central Army. The number of Japanese troops in the southwest is smaller, so I will leave it to us."
When Xu Shijiu was about to nod and agreed, a crisp sound of gunfire suddenly sounded under the night sky.
#############
When the gunshots rang out, Ohara Shigemi was talking about the allusion of "building a plank road openly and crossing Chencang secretly."
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese government used the massive compensation paid by the Qing government that was more than six times its annual fiscal revenue to run a large education. The overall quality of its citizens was qualitatively improved, but the few who had received higher education were ultimately a minority. For example, Captain Fujimoto, who was just a farmer in Nagoya before joining the army.
The allusion that Ohara Shigemi general Han Xin built a plank road and secretly crossed Chen Cang was told. Captain Fujimoto and several orderly soldiers from the brigade were fascinated by him. He kept sighing in his heart the profoundness of Han culture and the infinite wisdom of the ancient Han people. Then he felt proud in his heart that a nation that once was so glorious would soon be conquered by the Yamato nation.
Thinking of the previous surprise attack plan of the Ohara Major, Captain Fujimoto suddenly realized something and said: "Captain, your former squadron used to make great efforts to move southwest of Taiwan, but ordered the Sakurai team to trample the waterway and launch a surprise attack from the front of Fort Mount. Isn't this the 'open construction of the plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang'?"
"Yo Xi." Captain Fujimoto compared himself with Han Xin, the immortal of military strategists, which greatly benefited Ohara Shigemi. When he was about to praise Captain Fujimoto for a few words, a crisp gunshot suddenly came from the direction of Fortress Mountain. Then the gunshots burst into pieces, and a little debate was made, and the gunshots actually came from the front of Fortress Mountain.
Obviously, the Sakurai team that was attacking Mount Fortress made a mistake.
"Haguyaru." Ohara Shigemi couldn't help but be furious and cursed, "I didn't tell him this idiot Sakurai to go up the mountain quietly and shoot him. Why did he be so careless?"
Captain Fujimoto said: "Captain, what should I do now?"
"What else can I do? Sakurai is already exposed!" Ohara Shigemi pulled out his sabre and pulled it hard to the front, shouting loudly, "Order, the artillery squadron attacks quickly, Maehara squadron and Murayama squadron attack with all their strength to attract the two-wing Chinese troops. Be sure to cooperate with the Sakurai squadron to seize the commanding heights of Fort Mount."
#############
Second Lieutenant Sakurai was actually quite unfair. He was definitely not what he wanted to fire, at least the first shot was not his own.
The person who shot the first shot was Liu Genshuo who swam across the Huangpu River. Liu Genshuo was also very lucky. He had already swam to the west coast at about two o'clock, but just in time the Japanese army landed on a large scale. After transporting the soldiers and supplies, several Japanese gunboats began patrolling along the river, and as a result, they blocked Liu Genshuo in the reed marsh.
Because the reed marsh where Liu Genshuo was hiding was still nearly a thousand meters away from the Fort Mountain, there were several hundred meters of mudflats in the middle. Once they broke away from the cover of the reed marsh, Liu Genshuo, who was in trouble with the mudflats, would definitely become a living target for the gunboat. Liu Genshuo was not afraid of death, but if this affected the shooting accuracy of the artillery soldiers on the east coast, it would be his negligence.
It was not until night fell that Liu Genshuo finally waded through the mudflat and touched the foot of the fortress.
In the dark night, Liu Genshuo touched the front of Fortress Mountain. Liu Genshuo was wondering why no one came forward to check, and suddenly something was tripped under his feet. Liu Genshuo staggered and stood still. When he looked down from the cold moonlight, he saw a corpse standing horizontally under his feet, which seemed to be wearing a Central Military uniform.
When I squatted down again, I saw that it was the brother of the Central Army. He was stabbed around his neck, and the blood was soaked all over the ground, and his body was still hot. It seemed that not long after he was killed, Liu Genshuo's hair suddenly stood up. Some Japanese troops tried to attack from the front of the slackened Fortress Mountain?!
Liu Genshuo studied artillery department at the Central Military Academy, but before he entered the school at the age of 18, he had been working as an infantryman for two years and was "aware of" various infantry tactics. So when he saw the body of the Kuomintang lying at his feet, he thought of two points. First, the Kuomintang army was very relaxed in the defense of the front of Fortress Mountain, and secondly, the Japanese army wanted to attack from this direction.
Without any hesitation, Liu Genshuo took out his shell gun and shot him in the sky.
#############
When the gunshots rang out, Second Lieutenant Sakurai was holding a dagger and touching the National Army's post on the hillside.
The Kuomintang guard post was being unaware of the impending death. Second Lieutenant Sakurai even needed a forward rush to cut off his neck. But at this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded at the foot of the mountain. The Kuomintang guard post in front was alarmed by the gunshots, and suddenly turned around and came face to face with Second Lieutenant Sakurai.
Second Lieutenant Sakurai cursed Bageyaru in his heart and suddenly jumped forward.
The Kuomintang sentry was also a veteran, and he reacted very quickly. He dodged and rolled and crawled to the semi-buried bunker not far away, while shouting loudly: "Little Japan attacked, little Japan attacked..."
Second Lieutenant Sakurai rushed out, got up and threw out the dagger in his hand, allowing the Kuomintang guard to escape.
At this time, more than a dozen national troops in the semi-buried bunker in front were also alarmed. With several flashlights coming, the bullets of the Czech light machine gun were poured over like water. Occasionally, several grenades were thrown over, smashing the depression where Lieutenant Sakurai was hiding, so that the soil was splashed everywhere and gun smoke filled.
Seeing that Xunzo had been completely exposed, Second Lieutenant Sakurai had to draw out his saber and wave forward, and ordered loudly: "Kill Gaiget..."
Forty Japanese soldiers who were on standby in a hiding place not far behind him rushed forward, and set up various guns and grenade launchers to shoot at the national army. Two Japanese soldiers held explosives and rushed to the bunker under the cover of the night. It was really ironic to say that the Japanese army, which had much more advanced equipment, were better at blasting.
#############
When Xu Shijiu heard the gunfire sounds on the front of Fortress Mountain, he couldn't help but change his face slightly and asked the Hai Leopard: "Captain Hai, how many people have you placed on the front of Fortress Mountain?"
"Front at Fortress Mountain?" The leopard also changed his face and stomped his feet, "It's broken, there is only one class there!"
We can't blame the leopard for being careless, because during the day, the Japanese army had already established a beachhead position on the left side of Fortress Mountain. During the day, the Japanese army also launched from the left side when attacking. Moreover, the tide was receding at this time, and there was a large area of mud and mud flats on the front of Fortress Mountain. Who would have thought that the Japanese army would give up the flat ground on the left, but had to wade through the mud and mud flats on the front of Fortress Mountain to attack?
"The 1st Company, the 2nd Company stayed behind, the 3rd Company was bayonet, follow me!" After Xu Shijiu said that, he turned around and left.
If the Japanese army was allowed to seize the commanding heights of Fort Mount and build machine gun fire points on it, the consequences would be unimaginable. By then, the entire National Army position of Taiwan's artillery would be within the coverage of Japanese machine gun fire or artillery. At that time, the National Army would be waiting to be named one by one by the Japanese army on the top of the mountain, and still guard it?
The remaining soldiers of the 61st Division who were resting in the trenches stood up silently, took a bayonet silently, followed Xu Shijiu silently, and rushed to the top of the fortress.
The leopard was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack to get in. Why was he so careless?
