Everywhere there was gunsmoke, everywhere there was rubble, and scorched corpses were smoking At this moment, the ancient city of Tonggu had been surrounded by two divisions and one wing of the Japanese army, and the Japanese, who had been used to saving money and even using small plates for meals, suddenly became more generous, and more than 200 cannons with a caliber of more than 75 mm were shelling the city and the positions of the Chinese defenders day and night Today in history, the Japanese army should be violently attacking the whole city of Tonggu, but for the whole day on the 27th, the Japanese infantry seemed to have evaporated, and only endless shells fell from the sky.
Not a single one complained, and all the Chinese soldiers knew what a terrible price their comrades had paid for these rice regiments.
These rice regiments were ready yesterday, because the Japanese artillery blockade has not been able to deliver, two teams of 50 people each braved the Japanese artillery fire in the smoke of gunpowder to advance, with the flash of the explosion continued to fall, the officers and men on the forward position widened their eyes and held their breath to cheer for the brothers who delivered the food.
The Japanese artillery forward observation point seemed to have detected a movement in the position of the Chinese defenders, and the artillery fire of the Japanese blockade became more intense, and the broken body of a Chinese soldier flew into the sky, and the box of rice balls he was carrying fell like blood flowers in the sky.
In the end, only 6 people arrived at the forward position, and an old cooker with a wrinkled face gasped and felt out a rice ball and handed it to the officer who pulled him into the trench: "The commander is a little cold" Immediately, the old cook's head fell into the trench, and the officer found that his rice regiment was covered with blood, and everyone found that the two bullets had already penetrated the veteran's body, and every rice ball in the box was covered with his blood The commander of the forward position cried on the telephone and shouted that he was not delivering food.
In the evening, the sunny weather became gloomy, and a heavy sense of oppression was desperately squeezing the officers and men of the expeditionary force in the same ancient city, and Song Yuhang, who was stationed in the new city, ate and slept well every day, which made the colleagues of the 200th Division envious.
Song Yuhang's purpose of doing a relaxed job is to let all his soldiers relax, the battle to defend Tonggu has just begun, and his new city will be the finale of this show, and the purpose of recuperating is to fight to the death with the Japanese army.
Finally, the plane that Song Yuhang was looking forward to dropped 2 tons of medicine and food on the evening of the 28th for the ancient city, and the white shadow of the parachute at night made Song Yuhang ecstatic, but then Song Yuhang couldn't laugh, and the transport plane without escort was besieged by the Japanese night plane, and fled west with the flames.
This precious material supply has been going on for more than a week, and the only support the 200th Division has received is for someone who is extremely impure, but it gives a signal to all the officers and men of the 200th Division who are sticking to the lonely city that they are not alone, and the expeditionary force behind them, the military and political department of Chongqing, and even the people of the whole country have not forgotten their lone army that fought bloodily against the Japanese invaders in a foreign land.
"One canned food per squad, five candies for each soldier, tell them that this is a condolence gift sent from the rear" After Dai Anyu explained, he looked at Song Yuhang, who was angry on the side, and smiled slightly: "Comfortable medical supplies are handed over to the field hospital, and even if I borrow the canned candy from you, I will return it to you after this battle."
Song Yuhang naturally understood the purpose of Dai Anchen, there were not many things, and the meaning of this airdrop was to tell the officers and soldiers that the lone soldier was not alone, so he responded with a slight smile: "It's not so cheap, this is an airdrop, freight plus interest, you have to be mentally prepared" "Ah" Dai Anchen was stunned for a moment, a smile on the corner of Song Yuhang's mouth betrayed him, and after the two laughed, Song Yuhang took advantage of the Japanese artillery bombardment to follow Dai Anchen to the 600th Regiment Defense Area, which had been fighting the most fiercely.
In the face of tonight, the canned food that Shangfeng sent down inexplicably, including the acting head Fang Yongsheng, almost everyone up and down the 600th regiment was confused "This is what Chief of Staff Song asked for everyone, for these things, Minister He ate Gualo and almost pierced the sky" Diane patted Fang Yongsheng on the shoulder and announced the origin of the materials to the public.
Fang Yongsheng heard that Song Yuhang was going to get the airdrop medicine, so he grabbed Song Yuhang's hand tightly and held it hard, but he couldn't say a word.
The slightly trembling hands, red eyes, beard and gunsmoke made this brave and combative acting head become a Peking Opera face character without makeup.
Song Yuhang understood what Fang Yongsheng meant, the man's husband didn't thank him easily, everything was unspoken, but Song Yuhang's original purpose was really unspeakable, thinking back to the heroic head Wu, he was full of emotion for a while.
Dai Anyan interrupted Fang Yongsheng and Song Yuhang: "Anyi, this material is issued in your name, oh, don't look for me to wear someone in the future."
"Yongsheng tell me about your situation here" As soon as Dian's words came out, the atmosphere in the command post suddenly became tense, as if the temperature had dropped by a few degrees.
While judging the military situation, the canned food and candy were quickly distributed to each squad and every soldier, and the soldiers and junior officers looked at this greeting from the motherland in amazement "Oh my God, it was sent from Chongqing, and there was a slogan on it," the soldiers excitedly passed on the cans, and the candy was distributed by the deputy company commanders of each company, five pieces per person, and in the end, due to the lack of quantity, many officers actually only caught one.
This is a very cheap ordinary fruit hard candy, in the rear of the shortage of materials can also buy 2 pieces, the colored cellophane is printed with various words such as the war of resistance to the end, swear to die and not to die as a slave, etc., wrapped in red or yellow sugar balls.
Many soldiers were reluctant to eat, and carefully put the candy into their own pockets, in their eyes this is no longer as simple as ordinary candy, it is the expectation of the motherland and family, until most of them fell on a foreign land, and the few candies in their pockets still carry body temperature.
And one can is only enough for each soldier of a squad to eat a big bite, but after a few circles among the soldiers, when it is returned to the squad leader, there is still more than half left, and all the people are reluctant to eat it In contrast, the medical officers and nurses in the field hospital were much happier, because they found a personal belongings box that Song Meiling had specially brought for Song Yuhang After handing out canned fruit with the A logo to the wounded, a large group of girls gathered around the box to discuss whether or not to open the box with the seal of the Aviation Committee Under the influence of curiosity, they opened the sealed box, which was filled with all kinds of dried fruits, Swiss delight, American chocolate, and after denouncing Song Yuhang's sinister intention to tempt and bribe the medical officers of the field hospital, the girls divided the candy equally and destroyed the corpse They knew that Song Yuhang didn't actually know, and if Song Yuhang knew, he would have sent it over himself.
After the shift change, Wang Wen returned to the lounge on the second floor, in her chaotic memory, there was a small bed that belonged to her, how eager to breathe in the air without the smell of blood, Wang Wen, who worked in the suffocating basement for 12 hours in a row, did not eat a drop of water, and now she has no appetite at all.
Back in the room, Wang Wen was surprised to find a small pile of gummies and a few pieces of American chocolate on her bed, not to mention the battlefield in Burma, at this time, even in China, these candies are enough luxuries.
When she was studying abroad, Wang Wen liked to eat all kinds of candy, and the small bag she brought back had already been liberated by a group of little sisters, and these candies were from there, and a huge question mark floated above Wang Wen's head When Wang Wen learned that the medicine and candy were all from the military police regiment, the chief of staff of Song asked Chongqing to come, she was so surprised that her little mouth didn't close for a long time, that nasty guy really wanted to come and airdrop supplies.
After staring at the candy for a long time, Wang Wen made up her mind and gave herself a good reason, Song Yuhang is a big pervert and a big bastard, but the candy is not guilty, so he should apologize to himself With a rare piece of lemon-flavored hard candy in her mouth, Wang Wen quickly fell asleep In the headquarters of the 600th Regiment, after screening and screening intelligence, combined with the change of the Japanese army's transfer number, all the intelligence and battlefield interpretation proved that the Japanese had indeed increased their troops, and the situation of the 600th Regiment was not optimistic, and the fierce fighting for several days had reduced the 600th Regiment by more than half, and the situation of the 598th Regiment and the 599th Regiment was not much better.
Song Yuhang, who was standing beside Dai Anchen, was completely stunned, the 56th Division of the Japanese Army turned out to be a whole week earlier than in history, and the vanguard search wing of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army will arrive tomorrow in history, could it be that he burned the 143rd Wing of the Japanese Army, which caused the course of history to change Song Yuhang suddenly and inexplicably fought a cold war, he knew that if Tonggu was lost, then history would likely repeat itself, Pingmana retreated, Myitkyina and Lashio lost the only way for the Chinese expeditionary force to return home, thinking of this terrible ending, Song Yuhang was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and the tragedy of tens of thousands of soldiers buried in Savage Mountain must not be allowed to happen again However, the situation in front of Song Yuhang was at a loss, the 200th Division was completely on the defensive side, and what was even more terrifying was that the Japanese had dominated the rhythm and pulse of the battle.
The time window was fixed at 3 o'clock in the morning of the 29th, and the dense fog enveloped the entire Tonggu area, and the commander of the 200th Division, Dai Anchen, was very anxious in the observation post of the forward outpost, and 20 minutes ago, the Japanese launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the position of the 600th Regiment north of the Tonggu Railway, and the density and speed of the shelling seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the rapid shells fell in batches in the defensive positions of the 600th Regiment.
"Damn," Diane cursed secretly, knowing that the rapid artillery bombardment was a pre-prepared signal for the infantry to launch an assault, and that in a few minutes, the Japanese infantry would attack after the artillery fire had extended.
The 55th Division, reinforced by the 56th Division, put on a posture of all-out siege, and the unexpected dense fog in the early morning just concealed the Japanese offensive attempt, and the more than 10 observation posts that the 200th Division had placed on the front line as eyes were ineffective.
Song Yuhang, who returned to the military police headquarters, stared at the map with red eyes and looked at the map in a daze, this will be an important turning point in the Tonggu Campaign, the 600th Regiment deployed by the 200th Division in the east of the railway was directly involved in a tragic white-knuckle battle with the two wings of the Japanese army.
By 10 a.m., the wall on which the 600th Regiment was relying had collapsed, and the Japanese took the opportunity to release erosive poison gas in the northwest corner, and the 600th Regiment was forced to retreat into the city under the heavy loss of soldiers, and the troops that had retreated to the city were less than a battalion at this time.
On the 131st Heights west of the city, the Japanese raiding troops stepped on the mines planted the night before, and then the 598th Regiment of the Chinese defenders called for fire support from the reinforced heavy artillery battalion directly under the division.
Due to the stock of shells, the shelling lasted only five minutes, which made the Japanese troops who failed to make a surprise attack drop hundreds of corpses and hurriedly retreated to the starting position of the attack When the fog cleared, the regrouped Japanese used unprecedented artillery fire, and artillery observers used colored smoke grenades to guide the planes to bomb them.
In just 30 minutes of fire preparation, the Japanese army had razed all the fortifications and vegetation on the surface of Heights 131, along with the nearby buildings, but the Japanese artillery fire failed to destroy the tunnel-like shelter buried by the Chinese army, and the cypress wood withstood the test and played an important role.
When the ant-like yellow figures of the Japanese army rushed through the jungle around the city, they were immediately killed by the Chinese soldiers who had already rushed out of the shelter and quickly entered the battle.
The chain of fire sprayed by the Type 24 heavy machine gun constantly knocked the Japanese troops to the ground, and Xu Fanghua, a big man in Shandong, was the number one machine gun shooter of the 200th Division, and the cheerful sound was mixed with the special sound of the Zhongzheng rifle.
In a bunker not far from the heavy machine gun, two light machine guns flew into the sky along with the shooter's broken body Soon, the heavy machine gun was suppressed by the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun, and a missing bullet exploded near the heavy machine gun, and the ammunition hand was suddenly knocked aside, Xu Fanghua only felt that his head was hot, and his left eye was scarlet.
Xu Fanghua, who wiped a handful of blood with his hand, found the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun located at an angle of 60 degrees and 400 meters away from his right according to the direction of the trajectory.
The first strike was to force Xu Fangguo to turn the muzzle of the gun, and the dense bullets clanged on the shield of the Type 92 infantry gun, and from time to time bullets penetrated the shield and raised a cloud of blood mist.
In the gap of the heavy machine gun transfer fire, dozens of Japanese soldiers with rifles with bayonets broke into the trench, led by a soldier Cao at Xu Fanghua who was shooting at the gun, and the deputy shooter who was pulling the bolt and loading was in front of Xu Fanghua, seeing the deputy shooter lying in a pool of blood, Xu Fanghua roared, and the sapper shovel joined the melee
