Chapter 245 of the Anti-Japanese Iron-Blooded Expeditionary Force, the Corpse Mountain and the Sea of Blood Carve.
For the first time in many years, Okamura Ninji felt the hesitation in his heart and no Song Yuhang was replaced by an ordinary Shina general.
No matter Xue Yue, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, etc., he will not have the slightest scruples.
But this Song Yuhang, who is not on the same starting line as himself, makes him feel painful.
The reason is very simple.
Although Song Yuhang is only a military commander.
The only force that could be used was his army.
It was precisely the branch of this army that was the strongest in the entire Chongqing government army.
Equipped with light and heavy weapons supplied by the United States.
The firepower of one of its divisions far exceeded that of a division of the Imperial Army.
The firepower of the detachment is strong, the establishment is huge, and the combat exploits are outstanding.
Just like a lever, it is often enough to pry an opponent several times its own weight.
How could this not worry Okamura Ninji If it's the other Chinese team.
Even the old rival No. 74 or the 100th Okamura Ninji who is also equipped with a large number of American weapons is not afraid.
But Song Yuhang's First Mechanized Army just couldn't do it.
The 100th is also equipped with a large number of American weapons.
But this unit is still an ordinary squadron in its bones.
The firepower brought by advanced weapons cannot hide the fact that they are really self-defeating in their bones, and the significance of the ace army does not lie in their weapons and equipment.
It's the soldiers themselves, who know how to fight.
How to be firm in your beliefs.
For the sake of the nation and the state.
In the face of death, death is like home.
Servant successor.
Only such a force that deters the enemy's courage can be called a trump card army What made Okamura feel unfrustrated was that the First Mechanized Army was such an ace army.
He couldn't imagine how Song Yuhang had trained his soldiers to be so bloodthirsty after killing the enemy.
He was able to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Then keep fighting.
When Okamura Ninji knew that there was such a force coming out of the savage mountains of Burma.
He was shocked.
And there was a vague premonition that this force would become an obstacle and a stumbling block for the Empire.
Unexpectedly, which small army of that year turned out to be the strongest army of the Chinese government.
And it really stood in front of the Imperial armies many times Why did this become the only one in all the premonitions, that Okamura Ninji recalled the temple he worshipped in Manchuria.
Suddenly, he had a very strange thought: Could it be that Chinese temples do not bless the Japanese?
Ninji Okamura stood in front of the map.
The sand on the map is like a door.
If it's really closed.
The five divisions and three brigades on the Hengyang front line and the four divisions and one brigade on the outer line were really lively.
As long as the other party guards for three days.
Not maybe two days.
The hundreds of thousands of troops under his jurisdiction were in danger of collapsing the entire line due to the lack of supplies.
During the Third Battle of Changsha.
The offensive divisions were forced to retreat in the "miserable ten days" because the front line was too long and the supply lines were cut off.
The Japanese soldiers basically carried the belongings they carried with them.
Each soldier basically had a rifle, a blanket, 100 bullets, 4 grenades, 3 days' worth of food, 1 day's worth of rice and a water bottle.
These materials are the limit of what the Japanese army can carry.

Generally, the baggage brigade at the wing level will also carry basically equivalent supplies.
That is, in the absence of replenishment land.
Japanese soldiers were able to hold out for up to 57 days.
The premise must be that the intensity of the battle must not be too high.
Whether the Chinese people's surprise attack on Changsha was a tactical feint Okamura Ningji was very distressed.
Hengyang has broken the city soon.
If he was deceived by a tactical feint, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army, he would also lose face.
Defending the old county seat of Hengyang, they attacked the Chinese defenders in Hengyang with all their might.
The 3rd Division and the Mixed 14th Brigade were immediately replenished.
Prepare to maneuver in the direction of Changsha.
Okamura Ningji made two preparations, and the ground artillery in Hengyang County made him uneasy.
Links with the defenders were cut again.
Okamura Ninji was anxious.
How did he know.
The Japanese headquarters in Hengyang County had been accurately hit by several 155 mm grenades.
Major General Taira Akiki, the chief of operations of the dispatch army, whom he had high hopes for, had been annihilated by the rubble everywhere.
The Japanese were bombarding the Chinese defenders in Hengyang with heavy artillery fire.
The First Mechanized Army bombarded the Japanese troops in the interior of the old county town of Hengyang with ten times more fierce artillery fire.
Song Yuhang is clear.
The old county seat of Hengyang must be taken before 5 o'clock in the morning.
Because as soon as the army calls for the ground and air after dawn, it may come at any time, and the artillery units will also have to carry out covert transfer positions.
Song Yuhang looked at his watch with a dark face.
Qi Baiming Liang Chaodao: It's now 3:03 in the morning, and the artillery fire will start to extend in 15 minutes, and at 5:5 o'clock, I want to stand on the city wall of the old county town of Hengyang, and I only need the county seat of Hengyang. ” Military orders are like mountains, between blood and fire.
There is nothing to negotiate the price of difficulties, casualties, everything, everything is not a problem After the extension of the fire of heavy artillery.
The artillery units followed the tide of infantry forward.
With the point of fire ready to deal with the resurrected Japanese army.
Under the immense power of heavy artillery.
The vast majority of the Japanese army hastily built the fire The bunkers and caves have become graves dug by the Japanese army.
The occasional point of fire was immediately lit by direct fire cannons and flame throwers.
This time the fire was prepared for an hour and a half.
The heavy artillery brigade ran out of ammunition for a full three bases.
The barrels of the guns were all smoking in the early morning mist.
Shirtless and sweaty artillerymen after receiving an order for a ceasefire.
Almost collapsed to the ground.
The high-intensity fighting almost numbed them.
In order to prevent thermal expansion and cold contraction.
After firing the last shell in the bore.
The exhausted artillerymen began to quickly dress up their guns and move their positions.
Such intense artillery fire is unprecedented.
The heavy artillery of the 1st Mechanized Corps almost turned over the entire old county several times.
The old county seat of Hengyang is a product of the Ming Dynasty.
Together with its towering city gate tower, it completely disappeared from people's sight.
All that remains is ruins and rubble.
In the sporadic resistance of the Japanese army, the fallen city wall of Hengyang County was followed.
The Chinese soldiers were indomitable.

For his own order, he destroyed an extremely valuable historical and cultural ancient city.
Song Yuhang felt slightly guilty.
After all, this is a precious legacy left by our predecessors.
But in this resistance to aggression.
In the fight to defend national freedom.
As a soldier, Song Yuhang did not give the order to destroy it.
This is undoubtedly a sadness.
Dozens of kilometers away in Hengyang County, the fierce battle and the sound of cannon cheered the Chinese people defending the city.
Reinforcements are near.
The hope of survival is stimulating the spirits of Chinese officers and soldiers.
They were all motivated.
Shoot the last bullet in the chamber.
Then they tore apart with the Japanese army.
The fierce battle in Hengyang City has exceeded Okamura's imagination \039 times.
He called the loyal and brave warriors of the Great Japanese Empire.
I'm exhausted at the moment.
The ammunition that you carry with you has long been exhausted.
The organized attack was nothing more than the infiltration and tearing of dozens or hundreds of people.
When the blood-spattered tear could not continue to lift their already numb spirits.
Both sides often retreat a few dozen meters each.
Staring at each other.
When you have enough rest, you will rush into battle. 326 at 5 o'clock.
After the First Mechanized Army captured the gateway of Hengyang and rushed to the old county seat.
Form a pincer with the 7th Army.
Eager to try, he went straight to the city of Hengyang.
The loss of the old county town disrupted Okamura's deployment.
The strength of the two wings and the three brigades that were reinforced afterwards only lasted one night, while the city of Hengyang was still in the hands of the Chinese defenders.
Nene Okamura smelled a dangerous smell.
The unstoppable Okamura Ninji will bring Akaka, Riyan Naga, Naga, Aoki Naichiyo, Kenki, Mori Suehiro, and others to the headquarters.
He paid to know how the generals who had promised him carried out his orders thoroughly Facing the silent division commanders.
Only then did Mura Ningci suddenly realize.
It turned out that he himself had overestimated his troops.
The division commanders and wing commanders below are in order to cater to the newly arrived commander-in-chief of the dispatch army.
Concealed the truth from the troops below.
Reporting good news and not bad news is a fine tradition of the Imperial Army.
At this moment, Okamura knew that yelling and scolding in anger was useless.
Take off the lens.
After gently rubbing the corners of his eyes.
Okamura Ninji said in a solemn voice: "Everyone.
Please tell me the truth, please."
Since the commander-in-chief has talked about this.
The division commanders with shame on their faces no longer twisted and stood up again with a concerned gaze.
First bowed deeply to Okamura Ninji.
Then he said: "I have the great trust of Your Excellency.
The will to resist was stubborn.

The battle was fierce.
The divisions and regiments I participated in the siege of the city went through four general attacks.
The number of attrition is huge.
The troops were exhausted.
Ammunition and personnel supplies are insufficient.
It is difficult to predict the outcome of continued brute-force attacks.
It is better to make a heavy promise to the Tenth Army. to divide it from the troops of the 1st Mechanized Army" But looking at the expectant gazes of the division commanders below.
He finally understood that his troops could not move, and this was since the start of the war in Hengyang.
The second time the troops who participated in the attack made a request that they could not move, this time it was just a difference, and the first time they pulled Yokoyama off his horse, it was just a little more subtle.
Okamura Ninji is faced with a difficult choice.
As a soldier, he and Song Yuhang both know it.
Often who can hold out for the last five minutes.
Whoever wins will be the winner.
At present, hundreds of thousands of Japanese and Chinese armies are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops.
You've got me.
I've got you.
In this case.
The first thing to worry about is the back road.
It is doomed.
The battle of Hengyang seems to have become a dead end.
When this "Operation No. 1" began.
Okamura knew that opening up the mainland lines of communication was nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of the base camp and the dispatch of some of them Thank you for your monthly ticket support.
Thank you, I was moved and worked hard to code words to repay everyone:
