Chapter 99 Bloody Battle of Songshan (5)
The reserve team was ordered to press forward and not to retreat at all, otherwise the military law would issue a fierce order, grab a steel helmet and lead the secret service camp to the front to supervise the formation.
The 309th Regiment finally withstood the Japanese counterattack. The battle had become fierce. Fire dragons shot out one after another. With the guidance of the infantry, the shells exploded on the position with the guidance of the infantry. Under the illumination of the fierce artillery fire, it was vaguely seen that the Japanese army, like a desperate, were getting closer and closer. From time to time, the Japanese on fire were screaming and rushed towards the national army's position, and were torn to pieces by the rain of bullets.
A Japanese army meat bullet with a dusty face and full of bombs suddenly jumped out, and rushed over with the flames coming from behind, frantically and desperately howling, "Bang!" With an inadvertent gunshot, a blood flower burst out from the head of the Japanese soldier and fell to the ground. With a loud "boom", a large pit several meters in diameter appeared on the ground. With the light of the battlefield, blood mist and meat scraps could be clearly seen flying all over the sky.
"This Japanese are so crazy." The Chief of Staff of the Army smacked his lips, "If the national army can do this, hehe, how could the Japanese be so arrogant?"
"When the war is over, I want to ask General Liu to train our secret service battalion." Li Mi whispered: "It's okay to be unacceptable. Do you see the quality of this Rangers? It's much higher than that of the special service battalion."
"There are no vain soldiers under the reputation." The Chief of Staff sighed: "Staff, when you kill generals and seize the flag, you will brag when the surprise soldiers are airborne!"
"Just listened to the commander, the Rangers and the training school established in Kunming were taken away by the one named Dai." Li Mi said indignantly: "Brother Hua Jian was also sent to the school to do something bad at the vice principal."
"Military throne, let's say a little bit." The Chief of Staff secretly looked around, "This is not what the old man meant. If you don't doubt people, you won't doubt people. This General Liu's background and experience are too complicated."
"I know." Li Mi sighed softly, "If it weren't for the old man's intention, I'd recruit him."
At two o'clock in the morning, the Japanese counterattack was finally repelled. The reserve team suffered heavy casualties and was no longer able to organize a counterattack. The weak force made the Japanese army huddled in the bunker and tunnel, fighting for beasts.
The Kuomintang army withstood the Japanese counterattack at night, and its morale was greatly boosted. On the basis of stabilizing the original position, it continued to erode the Japanese main position from all directions. The sound of gunfire and cannons and shouts of killing were completely unstoppable. Fire dragons rose up from time to time and shot into the bunker, burning the stubborn Japanese devils to ashes.
Watching the Japanese screaming after being burned, jumping around with fire all over their bodies. The pleasure of revenge is filled with the hearts of every soldier in the country.

"Commander! Songshan's latest battle report!" The Chief of Staff, who was commanding the operation, sent a telegram to Wei Lihuang's hands. He could not suppress the surprised expression on his face.
A few seconds later, Wei Lihuang looked at the few numbers on the telegram and couldn't help but look up at the Chief of Staff. After hesitating for a while, he ordered: "Let them send a detailed report on the battle process."
Gunlongpo was actually captured in one day and one night. Is this possible? According to the inference of the staff, the battle will take at least one week.
About half an hour later, a staff officer brought a telegram and read aloud: "According to the telegram sent by the Eighth Army, the Gunlongpo operation was integrated with infantry and artillery and air, and the sharp knife tactics were successful. The flamethrower was actually the killer weapon to break the enemy's fortress. The three regiments of 103 were not afraid of hardships. They attacked in turn and fought to defeat the Japanese army at night for counterattack. Forced the Japanese army to shrink in the fortress and wait for death due to insufficient troops. Our brave national army continued to work hard and attacked continuously. At 9:34, the main fort of the Japanese army collapsed and wiped out all the stubborn enemies."
After the staff officer finished speaking, he handed over another telegram and added: "The telegram sent by Chief Li will be against Da >+)|叶玉天, 309th Regiment and Rong 3rd Regiment will be responsible for the frontal attack. 82nd regiment attacked from the right with a regiment, and the battle is expected to be resolved in five days and advance to Songshanzi Highlands."
"This Li Mi, I'm still sloppy." Wei Lihuang felt relieved and cursed with a smile: "Five days are only five days, and it's not good to let the troops hold on too much." After pausing, he continued: "Give this telegram to the Military Commission, and the Chairman will report the victory! Add to that, Songshan will be conquered within one month, and the Japanese army boasted: 'The firmness of Songshan fortifications is enough to withstand any degree of fierce attack, and can hold on for more than eight months. The Chinese army cannot conquer Songshan without paying 100,000 people to sacrifice.' It will become a joke."
"Yes." The staff officer replied with a smile. The commander criticized others for being careless, but he was justified.
The committee and the chairman have also started this.
The battlefield was covered with bullet craters and rubble, and the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated. Some burned wood was still emitting flames and emitting blue smoke. Teams of Chinese soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, carrying bodies, and counting seized weapons.
In the distance, the bodies of the soldiers of the Kuomintang were neatly placed in long rows. They lay quietly on the blood-stained land, covered with various colors of cloth.
Under the protection of the guards, Li Mi and a group of officers were standing in front of the fortress of the Japanese landlords, pointing at the sight of them.
"Military, this is the Japanese command post." Cheng Peng, the commander of the 307th Regiment, pointed to the ground tiles under his feet and said, "The Japanese resisted stubbornly. The upper layer was burning, and the lower layer was still shooting upwards. He had to throw two explosive packs and completely blow up the place."
"It's cheaper for these dog bastards." Chen Yikuang, the leader of the 309th regiment, spat fiercely and stomped his feet and cursed.
Li Mi smiled faintly. This attack on Gunlongpo, the total casualties reached one and a half battalions. However, this was much larger than the general staff predicted. He was still very satisfied with this and was full of confidence in the attack below.
"The first time I practiced the new tactics, I have achieved good results." Li Mi said: "But it also exposed the shortcomings. After the rest of the two days, you will summon soldiers to summarize your experience and strive for excellence. In addition, Rong Yi Regiment and 82401 Regiment should step up training to let the soldiers communicate more with the soldiers participating in the Battle of Gunlongpo and promote each other. I have already given the guarantee to the commander and win the big >+ mouth within five days. Don't let my face be lost at that time!"
"Military throne, attack the big >+. Yesterday's play style, I think it will be enough for at most two days."
"You don't understand what the military captain means." Chen Yikuang patted Cheng Peng on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Everything cannot be said too much. Military captains leave room for us. After all, no one can tell the truth about the matter on the battlefield. If there is a high horse and short horse, we don't have to try our best to use people to cushion it!"
"Damn, you guys can guess accurately." Li Mi cursed with a smile, and then his face became serious again. "The most difficult thing is the Songshanzi Highland, where the fortifications of the Japanese army are quite strong and have strong firepower. Moreover, the mountains are high and steep and difficult to climb. The guns can only be shot at the Japanese. It is very difficult!"
Cheng Peng rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and suggested: "It's better to let the Rangers airborne again and directly destroy the Japanese command center."
"No." The Chief of Staff shook his head and said, "There are many fortifications in Songshan, deep ditches and barriers, and dense fire nets. Don't forget the experiences of those more than 200 brothers."
"Yes, they are still lying on it!" Li Mi turned his head and looked at the Songshanzi Highlands and sighed quietly.
"I hope General Liu can come up with a solution." Chen Yikuang said: "If I want to use a human mat, I will be shameless to let my brothers die in vain!"
"This is a war, and the sacrifices that should be paid must be paid." Li Mi's eyes became stern. "General Liu is not a god. All he can provide is the closest way to success, rather than letting us swagger to take over the enemy's position."
…………………………
"The main peak of Songshan is called Zigaodi. The mountain top is only one or two acres of land, and there are more than a dozen highs and lows around it. It is connected and relied on each other. According to the aerial photos, it is impossible to dig the trenches until the ionic highlands with two hundred meters, and then they can no longer move forward." At this time, Wu Ming was not complacent about successfully capturing Gunlongpo. He was discussing the battle plan for the subsequent battle with all the members of the Rangers. "The hillside is particularly steep, at least fifty or sixty degrees. Even if you shoot, you have to raise your head, and then let the soldiers climb up with their hands and feet, and avoid shooting at the Japanese firepower points. It is simply impossible."
"If you can't eat, then go straight to the center." Fu Lijun blurted out and immediately shook his head with a wry smile, "No, this place is not as dense as Myitkyina. The Japanese army has dense fortifications, dense fire nets, and extremely strong. Even the aircraft and cannons cannot be damaged. If it is airborne, it will inevitably fall into the enemy's encirclement. The loss is too great and it is difficult to succeed."
"Damn it, this Japanese mouse, either hollowed out the mountain or buried under the Tibetan area, which made me angry." Tan Zheng said cursingly.
"The dragon gives birth to a dragon, the phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the mouse's son can dig holes." Huang Zongwu joked: "The Japanese are not a good species at all. If they are rats, they should praise them!"
