Chapter 139: Bloody Battle at Yuhuatai (Part 2)
In order to capture Highland 82, the 11th Squadron of the 47th Regiment of the Japanese Army organized a 94-man suicide squad last night to prepare for a night attack on the Chinese army positions. The squadron leader of the 11th Squadron, Captain Shoto, personally led the attack in the dark. Entering the defenders' position, they defeated the defending troops of the 88th Division in one fell swoop.
However, the little Japanese didn't expect that although the commander of the 88th Division was a idiot, there were many talents inside. He was always on guard against the little Japanese's sneak attack, so when the little Japanese sneaked into the high ground, he was surrounded by the 2nd Battalion.
The Shudo Squadron was in the dark night, and it was an unfamiliar battlefield. It was surrounded by enemies with stronger troops and firepower, and it was instantly in a desperate situation.
As the defenders attacked, the number of Japanese death squad casualties continued to increase. During the fierce battle, Lieutenant Shoto's right thigh was also pierced by a bullet, and he was seriously injured and rolled into the trench. Each squad leader was also injured one after another. In the end, the old warrant officer Toshio Kurasaki was the leader and commanded the remaining 24 people. However, he soon could not hold on and the entire army was eventually annihilated.
However, although the defenders wiped out all the Japanese death squads that broke into the position, there was a huge disparity in strength after all. Under the overwhelming Japanese artillery fire, more than 500 warriors under the commander of the 2nd Battalion Chen Binsheng were all killed on the battlefield, and then the Japanese army occupied Andemen. Highlands.
In the central area of ??Yuhuatai, the main force of the Japanese army stormed the core position of Yuhuatai, while the Chinese army used bunker fortifications to fight back desperately. The Japanese army, whose attack was frustrated, concentrated more than a hundred artillery pieces and fired fiercely at the Chinese army.
The bombardment lasted for more than an hour. The shells fell as if they were free. The shells were as dense as raindrops, covering the sky and the sun.
After the shelling ended, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers stormed the Chinese army positions under the cover of more than 50 tanks and armored vehicles. Each brigade of the Japanese army concentrated all its light and heavy machine guns to cover the infantry charge. The bullets were so dense that they could knock out flies flying in the sky.
Stimulated by the second attack on the Chinese capital, the morale of the Japanese soldiers was high. Every one of them was like a shot of chicken blood. They were really fighting crazy. They violently attacked the Chinese army positions 24 hours a day.
Such a fierce battle could only be seen on the Luodian battlefield in the Battle of Songhu. After all, it was called the Flesh Mill. At the worst time of the battle, the 3rd Battalion of the 44th Regiment of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army fought for 1 month. He bought about 200,000 rifle bullets. However, in the Battle of Yuhuatai, the 3rd Brigade of the 115th Regiment of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army destroyed 118,608 bullets in three days, and the 2nd Brigade destroyed 153,471 bullets in three days. It can be seen that the intensity of the battle was even The store battles are far inferior.
In terms of artillery shell consumption statistics, the 13th Division fired more than 20,000 75mm artillery shells in the Battle of Songhu within one month, while the 6th Division attacked Nanjing in just 7 days from the 6th to the 12th. 9540 rounds of artillery shells over 75 mm.
It can be said that the brutality of the Battle of Nanjing has already exceeded imagination. It is really surprising that the defenders can continue to resist despite such a disparity in strength!
Yuhuatai has been unable to be conquered for a long time, and the Japanese military leaders are also anxious. Originally, they regarded Yuhuatai and Guanghuamen as the key points for breakthrough, but now they cannot achieve the expected results in these two places. How can this reassure them.
In desperation, Prince Yoshihito of Chichibu Palace, the younger brother of the Emperor of Japan, personally went to the battle to encourage the soldiers and tried to stimulate the morale of the front-line troops.
Although the Chinese army fought bravely and tenaciously, the number of troops was too small. By the evening of the 11th, the fierce fighting reached the limit of the 264th Brigade. In order to defend Yuhuatai, division commander Sun Yuanliang ordered Zhu Chi, commander of the 262nd Brigade, to lead more than 2,000 people from the 524th Regiment and 4 battalions of the Army Supplementary Brigade to reinforce Yuhuatai.
In order to gain the initiative on the battlefield, Brigadier Zhu Chi and Commander Gao Zhisong of the 264th Brigade agreed to launch a counterattack. At 0:00 in the morning on the 12th, the two brigade commanders personally led two thousand warriors to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.
However, when the troops charged near the Japanese position, they found that they were surrounded by barbed wire and obstacles. It turned out that in order to prevent the Chinese army from counterattacking again, the Japanese army used the Chinese army to rest and recuperate to build new defensive positions.
After discovering the Chinese army's counterattack, the little Japanese kept throwing grenades at the Chinese army. The Chinese army also fired fiercely at the Japanese position with machine guns, and the two sides launched a bloody battle.
The desperate offensive and defensive battle between the two sides continued for more than half an hour. Seeing that they had lost the opportunity, the defenders piled up and retreated to their positions.
Zhu Chi, the commander of the 262nd Brigade, and Gao Zhisong, the commander of the 264th Brigade, were both very dissatisfied with this counterattack. Although they planned very well, due to the lack of artillery in the 88th Division, they were unable to suppress the Japanese army. They had insufficient troops and lacked backup. In the end, Had to return to the original position.
After a whole night of bloody fighting, not only the defenders were tired, but the attacking Japanese troops were also very tired. Taking advantage of this rare calm, both sidesEveryone is trying to seize the time to rest, so much so that the defenders can no longer even carry out emergency repairs.
There was no way. Under such crazy artillery attacks by the Japanese army, not to mention it was a temporary repair work. Even the reinforced concrete that had been built at a huge price could not withstand the attack.
In particular, the little devils also used a large number of large-caliber field heavy artillery. The power of those things is really terrifying. Not to mention directly hitting the human body with one shot, even if it hits the outer bunker layer, it can kill people. , so for the defenders, in fact, the fortifications have no meaning. Whether they can survive this battle depends on God's blessing. Luck is the key to life and death.
However, the Japs obviously didn¡¯t want to give the defenders a chance to breathe. Just over half an hour after the truce, the Japanese army began to gather troops again!
Zhu Chi, commander of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, knew that the Japanese attack was about to begin, and immediately ordered the soldiers to enter the front-line positions and prepare for battle.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the battle started again. Under the cover of a large number of artillery, a large group of Japanese troops launched a charge towards the garrison position like a tide.
In order to completely suppress the defenders, the Japanese artillerymen hardly cared whether they would accidentally injure their own people. They kept bombarding when the Japanese army launched a charge. At the nearest moment, the impact point of the artillery shells was as close as the distance to the Japanese soldiers at the front. Less than 50 meters.
This distance can be said to be extremely dangerous. You must know that the killing radius of field heavy artillery is usually 50-80 meters, which means that flying shrapnel can easily hit the Japanese themselves.
In fact, a few unlucky guys were indeed injured by their own shrapnel, but compared to the defenders, the casualties of the little devils were completely bearable.
The crazy attack of the Japanese army really caused huge casualties and tremendous pressure on the defenders. The casualties of the troops continued to rise. In desperation, Zhu Chi, commander of the 262nd Brigade, had to personally direct the battle from the front line.
The two sides fought fiercely until about 10 o'clock in the morning. Zhu Chi, commander of the 262nd Brigade, and Hua Pinzhang, commander of the 1st Regiment of the Supplementary Brigade, died successively. As all the positions of the 262nd Brigade were lost, the 264th Brigade's positions lost their support and became isolated.
Under this situation, Gao Zhisong ordered deputy brigade commander Liao Lingqi to lead more than a hundred wounded soldiers to break out, but he still did his duty as a soldier and persisted in resisting.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, at Nanjing Police Station, Li Guoyao was waiting anxiously at the underground headquarters for the battle situation on the front line, when the phone at the headquarters rang.
The combat staff officer picked up the phone and asked a few words, then turned to Li Guoyao and said: "Report to the brigade, there is a call from the Sixth Guard Regiment in the direction of Yuhuatai, saying that something seems to have happened on the defender's position, and the Japanese troops have charged in from the front. Position, we are engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the remaining defenders!"
Li Guoyao stood up from his seat with a "wow" sound, then strode to the phone, took the phone and said to the other side: "Lu Wenlong, order your troops and Xue Dengyu's troops to immediately cross the city defenses and enter the front-line position from the side of Yuhuatai, and move them to the front line." All the Japanese troops who broke into the position were driven down, and then they were stuck there. There was no order from the brigade headquarters to retreat, and they had to stay on the position even if they beat the last person. Is this possible?"
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!" Lu Wenlong's firm voice came from the phone!
"Very good, now your department immediately dispatches a battalion to the arsenal behind Yuhuatai and takes over the defense there. Be sure to control the arsenal in your own hands!" Li Guoyao said again.
"yes!"
"Go and carry out the order!"
"yes!"
