Chapter 232: The tunnel of Nanjing defense war shows its power

"Report to the brigade, the forces of at least two infantry corps of the Japanese army began to attack the main peak position of General Mountain from both sides of the northern slope of General Mountain fortress!"

After receiving the report from the combat staff, Sun Guiming, who had just been dozing off because of fatigue, bounced off the ammunition box as if he had installed a spring. He took the telescope and ran quickly towards the tunnel entrance. The south side of Niushou Mountain was almost tilted with a cliff of more than 60 degrees, and was only about one thousand meters away from the main peak of General Mountain. The heavy machine guns on the main peak of General Mountain could completely slid the edges, making the Japanese army unable to approach the tunnel entrances under the cliffs.

When digging these tunnels, Zhang Xuewu fully considered the issue of mutual protection of the southern slope of Niushou Mountain Fortress and the northern slope of the General Mountain Fortress. However, after the Japanese army failed to attack many times in succession, the Japanese army adopted many methods such as flamethrowers and poison gas. Fortunately, Zhang Xuewu had a lot of experience in digging the tunnel, so the Japanese army did not succeed. In desperation, the Japanese army was afraid that the Chinese team would counterattack, so they blew up the tunnel entrance. Except for making the tunnel feel very stuffy, there was nothing wrong with the rest.

The Japanese army tried several times to attack the tunnel entrance on the south slope, but were hit by the on-duty machine guns, heavy machine guns on the General Mountain Fortress and 75mm mountain cannons everywhere. A squadron dispatched by the Japanese army lost more than 200 people at one time. The huge casualties made the Japanese army dare not act rashly anymore.

In particular, the Japanese army tried to transport the 150-mm type of howitzer on the Niushou Mountain to transport the 12-inch naval guns on the General Mountain Fortress, which directly led to the Japanese army in a squadron of the Niushou Mountain Fortress being buried in the 16th Division of the Japanese army garrisoned at the Niushou Mountain Fortress to excavate fortifications at every moment.

Sun Guiming held a telescope and looked at the dense Japanese army attacking the main peak position of the General Mountain Fortress along the hillside like locusts. The subsequent Japanese mortar team and the Type 92 infantry and artillery squad were constantly advancing. Sun Guiming knew the typical offensive tactics of these Japanese troops, including light and heavy machine gun cover, grenade launchers follow up, and mortar cover. The Type 92 infantry cannon used a direct-fire ruler to destroy the exposed fire points on the Zhong*** position at the maximum elevation angle. The Japanese infantry almost used the firepower assigned to them to the extreme.

Looking at the gunfire fire ejected from the General Mountain Fortress, as well as the rumbling explosion of the fireboat, the smoke pillars rising from the sky, Sun Guiming turned around and said, "Pull out our treasure for me and order the sixth, tenth and eleventh tunnels to push the treasures. The internal teams at the other tunnel entrances pushed all the heavy machine guns to the tunnel entrance, and used firepower to support the General Mountain Fortress, and hit the Japanese hard on the butt."

The troops in the twelve tunnels south of Niushoushan Fortress began to mobilize. Maxine's heavy machine gun was dragged to the entrance of the tunnel, and the machine gunner's shovel was waving the shovel and striving to set up the machine gun.

The so-called treasure of Sun Guiming is actually four Swedish Fords 20mm four-pin anti-aircraft guns that were given to him, and they have never been useful. Without troops entering the tunnel, Sun Guiming was reluctant to discard or blow up these imported goods without launching a single bomb and was dismantled and moved into the tunnel. Unexpectedly, it was very useful today.

The shooting sound of the Maxine heavy machine gun is mixed with the shooting sound of the Swedish Fords 20mm four-barrel anti-aircraft gun. Some tunnels even brought out the German-made mg34 general-purpose machine gun. The mg34 is a famous cloth tearing machine, which is famous for its fast firing rate.

Under the shooting of the ruler, the dense rain of bullets poured towards the Japanese army attacking the General Mountain Fortress, like pouring rain. The Japanese army attacking suddenly was shot from the rear and suddenly became panicked. After a large number of Japanese soldiers were shot and rolled down the hillside. They were relatively happy to be hit by 7.92mm caliber bullets, because if they were hit by 20mm ammunition with a fixed-altitude detonation fuse, then what was waiting for them would probably be divided.

The bullets fired by heavy machine guns in the sky and the ammunition scattered by the Fords 20 mm four-tube anti-aircraft gun in Sweden exploded continuously to form black explosive balls. The prefabricated fragments of the 20 mm anti-aircraft gun made in Sweden were completely irregular in shape. This fragment was specially designed to deal with enemy aircraft passing by the ground and the sky. It cannot be described as cruel to deal with people.

The Japanese officers and soldiers who were hit by the prefabricated fragments screamed and fell down the mountain, rolling down the steep hillside. If they had breathed a sigh of relief, the Japanese ambulances would also find that the first aid kits and hemostatic drugs were equipped with could not stop the composite ruptured wounds. The wounded could only die in pain and struggle. The screams of the wounded near death and the morale of the Japanese army were almost devastating.

The disadvantages of the Japanese army's rigid tactical command form were exposed at this moment. On the issue of retreating and not retreating, the two Japanese regiments organized firepower to counterattack the mid-*** firepower point on the Niushoushan Fortress, and on the other hand, they also organized troops to attack the main peak of the General Mountain Fortress and asked their respective brigade headquarters.

Attacking the northern slope of General Mountain Fortress, you will be hit by the firepower of the Central Government who retreated into the rat cave. This is a big surprise.

Under the fierce firepower of the Chinese defenders, the Japanese troops attacking the northern slope of the General Mountain Fortress were severely injured and injured. A large number of Japanese officers and soldiers were shot and fell on the hillside, and their bodies rolled down. The living Japanese officers and soldiers looked at each other at a loss, not knowing whether they should retreat or organize counterattacks, or continue to attack the General Mountain Fortress. When the bodies of Japanese soldiers were almost covered with the northern slope of the General Mountain Fortress, the 30th infantry revolver belonging to the 16th Division of the Japanese received a retreat order.

Since the 16th Division had retreated, there was no reason for the 11th Division to resist, at least it retreated behind it. The retreat of the Japanese troops attacking the northern slope of the General Mountain Fortress caused the Japanese troops attacking the southern slope to be strongly hit by violent and abnormal artillery fire. The Japanese army left hundreds of corpses on the southern slope and fled in a panic.

If it is entirely the responsibility of the 11th Division, the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, and the division commander of the 11th Division, Yamamoto Sobu, was completely furious after receiving the casualties of the 12th infantry registrar of the North Slope, and called the commander of Prince Hirohiko Asagakuen, and directly asked the acting commander, why Prince Hirohiko Asagakuen was still shot by the most violently in Niushou Mountain when he was attacking the northern slope of the General Mountain Fortress?

The sudden fierce firepower of the Zhong*** caused nearly 2,000 casualties of the 12th Infantry Regiment to the 11th Division to be injured and killed nearly 2,000 people. It can be said that the main elite of the 12th Infantry Regiment of the entire 12th Infantry Regiment was destroyed, and the elite 12th Infantry Regiment of Yamamu Sowu was destroyed in just one attack. How could Yamamu Sowu and his subordinate brigade commander Tianmaya Jiro not be very annoyed?

After receiving the angry accusation from Yamashi Sowu, Hirohiko was confused. The imperial flag flying on Niushou Mountain was indeed true. It was also bombed by Zhongzhao artillery fire several times in succession, and it was re-established. It is said that nearly 100 people were injured and killed in order to establish the flag. This can prove that the Imperial Team has indeed occupied the main peak position of Niushou Mountain Fortress. So where did Zhongzhao's firepower come from?

With countless questions, Asakamiya Hirohiko decided to go to the frontier despite the dissuasion and take a look at what happened to the Niushou Mountain Fortress. Asakamiya Hirohiko believed that even if Nakajima had ten courage, he would not dare to joke about the military affairs related to the situation of the war and the overall morale of the dispatched troops. Otherwise, it would be that Nakajima Hirohiko would have lived enough.

Just as Prince Hirohiko Asakagu Palace rushed to the front line of Niushou Mountain to inspect the Fukuo position in the entire Nanjing city, the battle for Fukuo position entered the most intense and tragic stage.

The Japanese troops, with strong morale and the Chinese defenders who vowed to die, launched the most tragic bloody battle of the century with the determination to die.

On the front line of Qixia Mountain, the Japanese army was unable to deliver poison gas and was hit by the Fifth Brigade and Sixth Brigade of the Teaching Corps, and then carried out the so-called special missile attack again. The officers and soldiers of the Teaching Corps who lacked gas masks covered their noses with urine-soaked wipes, squatting in the trenches to minimize the number and amount of breathing. The small amount of intact gas masks were given to the command officer and firepower hands.

In the fierce battle, rubber-made gas masks are quite fragile. Even after being installed in the barrel, they cannot be completely avoided. If serious damage occurs in the storage barrel or slight scratches on the gas mask body, it may lead to the effectiveness of the gas mask. Therefore, the gas masks of the Chinese team are less and less as they are beaten.

When the Japanese soldiers wearing the gas mask of the Type 92 self-priming filter can rush up in a muffled howl, the light and heavy machine gun shooters on the defending positions carried out continuous shooting in the thick smoke without aimlessly, and the screams of Japanese officers and soldiers being shot in the thick fog were constantly heard in the poisonous gas bombs.

The poisonous gas emitted by the Japanese army was as dense as a fog, and it was not easy to dissipate. The Japanese soldiers who were advancing rapidly with the poisonous gas easily captured the outer guard positions. When they entered the main position, the division of the 13th Division of the Japanese army was Lieutenant General Huozhou.

As the veteran of the Japanese division commander, Huo Libing was slightly dissatisfied with commanding the 13th Division to participate in the battle, because the 13th Division was also Sendai, and it was formed by using the Sendai Second Division to supplement the basic officers and officers. It can be said that the elite soldiers and generals of the Second Division had already set out to expedition to Manchukuo.

The remaining personnel in the left-behind areas are naturally self-evident. Strictly speaking, although the 13th Division is a Type A Division, its combat effectiveness is at best the standard of Type B Division.
