There are mountains of corpses and seas of blood inside and outside the town.

In terms of the overall situation, the National Army surrounded the 101st Brigade in Sandun Town, but the National Army that surrounded Sandun Town was flanked by Japanese troops back and forth.

The national army responsible for stopping the Japanese reinforcements in the east of the town was mainly Li Yutang's 3rd Division and Huang Wei's 11th Division (Huang Wei was the commander in chief of the Sandun Town Campaign, so the 11th Division was actually commanded by the deputy division commander Peng Shan) , these two divisions made a temporary replenishment on the night of the Japanese landing. Although all the troops participating in the battle suffered heavy losses and were eager to ask for reinforcements, Huang Wei made a decisive decision and sent more than 3 new recruits who belonged to the reserve army of Jiangsu Province to Hudong. It was supplemented to the 11rd Division and the [-]th Division, and the two divisions quickly launched a desperate battle with the Japanese reinforcements.

The 3rd Division and the 11th Division, which had no conditions and no time to dig trenches and build fortifications, could only rely on some village settlements in the east of the town for defensive operations.

The 3rd Division sticks to the left flank, and the 11th Division sticks to the right flank.

Before the start of the war, the reconnaissance company of the 128th regiment quickly found out that the leading troops of the Japanese army were the 5th and 10th mixed infantry brigades of the Puppet Manchukuo Army. The two brigades had about 8000 troops.

Obviously, in the eyes of Lieutenant General Hata Junliu, the most valuable of the three troops in his hands is the Miura detachment composed of "pure-blood Japanese", followed by the Taiwanese Japanese army Shigeto composed of "half-pure-blood Japanese". The worst of the detachment is the Puppet Manchukuo Army. Grandma doesn’t care about his uncle and doesn’t love him. He is completely cannon fodder for annihilating the entire army and doesn’t need to be distressed. So he put the Puppet Manchukuo Army at the forefront, testing the firepower of the national army and consuming the strength of the national army.

After learning about this incident, Li Yutang, the commander of the 3rd Division, pondered for a while, and hurriedly called hundreds of educated officers and soldiers in the army, wrote thousands of notes, and then put these notes in densely packed and scattered pieces. In a large area within one kilometer in front of the 3rd Division position.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, a sun flag and a five-color flag with a yellow background (the national flag of the Puppet Manchukuo) appeared in the distance of the 5rd Division. Next, carefully launched an attack on the position of the 3rd Division. Soon, the officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo Army found the notes on the ground. Because there were too many notes, the Japanese army advisers could not confiscate them all at once, so the officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo Army Basically, they all saw the contents of the note, which read:

All of us are Chinese!The Chinese don't beat the Chinese!We purposely miss you when we shoot, hope you don't aim at us when you shoot too!

"Baga! Don't even watch it!" The Japanese advisers in the puppet Manchukuo army said angrily, "This is a trick of the Chinese army to disturb the morale of the army! Don't be fooled! You are the army of the Great Manchuria! Those are the Chinese army! They have nothing to do with you Any relationship! Remember, it was the Empire of Japan that brought prosperity to Manchuria! It is only natural for you to assist the Imperial Army of Japan in combat! You are not allowed to watch it! If you watch it again, you will be punished as 'collaborating with the enemy and treason'!"

The officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo Army dared to look at the murderous Japanese advisers without saying a word.

"Go forward! Fight!" The Japanese advisers ordered the officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo fiercely.

The battle ensued, with a hail of bullets and killing noises. However, after fighting for more than an hour, the total casualties of the Nationalist Army and the Puppet Manchukuo Army did not exceed 500. Some officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo Army did shoot bullets into the sky, and the national army kept their word and reciprocated, and also fired bullets into the sky.

However, there is a difference between the two sides.

The officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo Army were firing desperately, the bullets were fired in vain, and the bullets were like splashing water, which was completely wasted. Because the ammunition supplies of the Puppet Manchukuo Army came from the Japanese, so the officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo Army were wasting bullets a little They didn't feel distressed, and the officers and soldiers thought to themselves: "Anyway, they are all bullets given by Gou Ri. If you don't shoot them all, you can't do your job. If you shoot them all down, you will run out of bullets. We don't need to continue to fight!" The gunfire density of the officers and soldiers of the National Army is only one-tenth of that of the Puppet Manchukuo Army, because the National Army cannot waste bullets like the Puppet Manchukuo Army. It is necessary to save bullets and wait to deal with the "righteous" Japanese army, so the puppet Manchukuo army fired wildly, and the national army just cooperated with "meaning".

"Bageya Road!" On the ground of the Puppet Manchukuo Army, the Japanese advisers were all blown up:

"Are you blind? You have been trained by the imperial army for nothing! Where did all the bullets go? I clearly saw that you shot all the bullets into the sky!"

"Baga! There is no Chinese army there at all! What do you mean by throwing three grenades in an open field in a row?"

"Baga! What do you mean your machine gun has been shooting at that small tree? It is forbidden by military law to waste ammunition!"

No matter how harsh the Japanese advisers were, how much they cursed, how hysterical, the officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo Army were still "absent-mindedly engaged in fighting", at this time, laziness is patriotism.

Part of the national army and part of the Puppet Manchukuo shouted to each other:

"You are Chinese! How can you help the Japanese devils fight! This is a traitor!"

"No way! We were recruited by force! We don't want to be traitors either!"

"Why don't you just come here directly! Come to our side! We are all Chinese, let's fight devils together!"

"No! There are many Japanese advisers in the army, half of the officers are Japanese, and they are watching us fiercely! Our parents, wives and children are also being watched by the Japanese outside the customs!"

"It's not easy for you either!"

"Hey! When will your national army return to the Northeast? We are all looking forward to it!"

"I do not know!"

While the two sides were asking and answering, someone suddenly shouted from the side of the puppet Manchukuo army: "Here comes the puppet (the Japanese consultant)!"

Intensive gunfire flooded the battlefield in an instant, and the officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo Army were all firing with all their might, and all the bullets flew into the sky.

Lieutenant General Hata Jun-liu, who kept receiving reports of "the Manchurian Army deliberately avoiding wars deliberately", was not surprised, but he was also very displeased. He knew that time was precious and should not be wasted in vain. ", there will be no substantial progress until the year of the monkey.

After pondering for a while, Lieutenant General Hata Toshiro ordered: "Replace the Manchurian Army first, and let the Shigeto Detachment go!"

After receiving the order, the Chongteng Detachment immediately launched an attack on the right-wing defense line of Sandun Town, which the 11th Division was in charge of.

Inspired by Li Yutang, Peng Shan, the deputy commander of the 11th Division, also hurriedly sent someone to write a lot of notes and put them in front of the positions. The notes said something similar: "We are all Chinese! Taiwan is part of China! Chinese!" After the battle broke out, Peng Shan and the officers and soldiers of the 11th Division were all taken aback because they found that the Taiwanese Japanese troops who attacked them were merciless at all, and they were completely the attacking attitude and attacking methods of regular Japanese troops.

Under the dazzling sun flag, the Taiwanese Japanese officers and soldiers of the Shigeto Detachment uttered outright howls in Japanese, and rushed towards the defense line of the 11th Division fiercely like a pack of wolves. The grenadier shells hit the 11th Division head-on.

The 11th Division was caught off guard, and several gaps were torn open in the position immediately. Taiwanese Japanese soldiers swarmed in with bayonets in their hands.

The officers and soldiers of the national army shouted: "The Chinese will not fight the Chinese!"

The Taiwanese Japanese soldier replied: "Bageya Road!"

Peng Shan said afterwards: "Seeing the Japanese soldiers in Taiwan fighting bayonets, smashing each other with gun butts, firing grenades, and fighting to the death with the standard and authentic Japanese combat methods and the unique Japanese madness, I finally understood. Except for the Chinese blood still flowing in their veins, these Taiwanese are no different from the Japanese in any way, from the military uniforms on their bodies to the Japanese in their mouths, they are all Japanese!"

The defense line of the 11th Division is a scene that is enough to make all Chinese people feel sad: two groups of Chinese are fighting in a bloody battle, and they are merciless in each other's hands. The blood that flows in the trenches belongs to the Chinese.

The Chongteng Detachment has 11 troops. Although the 6000th Division has been replenished several times, and the number of officers and soldiers participating in the battle exceeds 11 at this time, the defense line was quickly torn apart under the strong impact of the Chongteng Detachment. To the northern edge of Sandun Town, its main force started a bloody melee with the [-]th Division, which was divided into multiple sections.

After learning about it, Li Yutang hurriedly dispatched a main regiment from the 3rd Division to reinforce the 11th Division, barely plugging several gaps in the defense line, but the defense line as a whole was already crumbling.

In the general headquarters of Sandun Town, a colonel officer about 11 years old, with bushy eyebrows and bright eyes, but his face is full of weather and smoke, is eagerly making his suggestion to Huang Wei: "Mr. Defensive warfare and positional warfare, the 3th and 128rd Divisions should be transferred to the town to participate in street fighting! The 813th Regiment, the 8th Regiment, and the Independent [-]th Cavalry Regiment should be used for defensive warfare!"

"Oh?" Huang Wei frowned and thought, "But both the 128th Regiment and the 813th Regiment are mechanized units (after the 813th Regiment "served" Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Weiguo added some light tanks and armored vehicles to the 813th Regiment), they are more suitable for fighting Field warfare and mobile warfare are not suitable for defensive warfare, right?" He said, seeing Jiang Weiguo just coming in, he greeted, "Jianhao, come and listen to Boyu's suggestion!"

"Boyu?" Jiang Weiguo looked at the colonel wonderingly.

"Oh, this is Hu Lian, head of the 11th Regiment of the 66th Division, nicknamed Boyu!" Huang Wei introduced.

Huang Wei and Hu Lian are both important members of Chen Cheng's civil engineering department. Huang Wei is already a key figure at this time. The core general of the army.

"Hu Lian?" Jiang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, then laughed, he thought to himself, "I planned to poach you at the beginning! I didn't expect such a coincidence, you are also in Hudong!" He looked very polite, "I don't know Hu What's the best plan for the Tuan Zuo?"

Hu Lian smiled, he is actually an informal and cynical person, who is proficient in whoring and gambling while serving the country faithfully.

"Second son, we want to stop the Japanese reinforcements. It is actually a bad idea to fight positional warfare, because the entire battlefield is within the range of the Japanese naval guns. If our army sticks to a certain place, if the Japanese army cannot attack for a long time, it will be covered by naval artillery fire. Therefore, Our army stays in a certain place and waits to die, so we should use mobile warfare to fight defensive warfare!" Hu Lian's eyes sparkled, and he seemed confident, "First, the Japanese army does not have the right to control the air, and our air force fighter jets dominate the sky. Second, the Japanese naval guns are extremely lethal. If our army keeps moving, the Japanese naval guns and Japanese land heavy artillery will naturally be difficult to target and lock. Our troops.

My idea is to use part of the troops to hold the line of defense, and then form a few strong mobile warfare forces with elite troops, and continuously launch offensive raids from the Japanese flanks and rear. Constantly depleting the Japanese army!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo, "Second son, your troops have so many tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and you have cavalry regiments, so the task of mobile warfare will naturally be handed over to your troops!"

Jiang Weiguo was enlightened when he heard it, and his thoughts suddenly cleared up: "Yes, the planes of the little Japan do not dominate the sky now, and the troops are not afraid of being exposed to the wild during the day. Moreover, the naval guns and heavy artillery of the little Japan are indeed very lethal. Somewhere is just waiting to be bombed, and the mobile warfare Hu Lian said is really good!" He immediately agreed: "Good! This idea is very good! Officer Huang, I agree with this kind of guerrilla warfare!"

"It's not guerrilla warfare!" Hu Lian corrected, "It's mobile warfare! Guerrilla warfare is just a destructive attack, while mobile warfare is to launch a strong attack in motion! Start a field battle! Although our army is inferior to the Japanese army in strength, our army can fight in the field. It's actually more beneficial!"

Jiang Weiguo and Huang Wei nodded together.

Hu Lian saluted Huang Wei and was about to leave when he suddenly winked at Jiang Weiguo again: "Second son, although your gas bombs are 'not many' because they claimed to be captured, they can't be used anymore, but they can't be used during the day. It can still be used at night!"

Jiang Weiguo slapped his thigh: "That's right! I did this because I had ghosts in my heart, so my thinking became rigid! I can't continue to use poison gas during the day, so I use it secretly at night! The moon is dark and the wind is high. God!" He looked at Hu Lian, "No wonder Chairman Mao said you are 'cunning as a fox, brave as a tiger', you really deserve your reputation!" He had already made up his mind that after this battle, he must take Hu Lian from Chen Cheng. Dig over there.

Chapter 209 Passive Hard Fight (3)

Under the blood-red night, among the ruined walls of Sandun Town, Zhang Jinglu, the commander of the reconnaissance company, and a few special forces are sneaking silently. Bloodstained and wounded, and they were all exhausted, but for the final victory, like every brother on the battlefield, they gritted their teeth and persevered.

After nightfall, Sandun Town is no different from the daytime except for an extra layer of night. The night sky is illuminated by unstoppable bullets and flames. The sound was deafening, mixed with hoarse shouts of killing. Every moment, Chinese and Japanese soldiers were fighting crazily, and every moment, people fell down in this ruined town.

The pathfinding scout climbed over a broken wall with light hands and feet, and returned with a hunched body, first raised three fingers, then raised two fingers, and pointed to his eyes.

"20 meters away, three Japanese soldiers!" Zhang Jinglu and the rest of the scouts understood, and then drew out their sabers together.

Three Japanese soldiers who were also exhausted were resting in a bomb crater. The scouts tiptoed forward, with a clear division of labor to deal with each of them, and leaned towards the target while accumulating strength like a leopard.

"Sergeant Cao Zhongshan, when do you think this war will end?"

"I don't know, this is just the beginning!"

"Ono-kun, we are going to fight to Nanjing, the capital of the Chinese people!"

"Going to Nanjing? I feel like I can't hold on anymore..."

"If you can't hold it, you have to hold on! I also miss my wife and daughter..."

"Senior Fukuda, your wife must be very beautiful, right? Show it out for us to see..."

At the same time, the three Japanese soldiers suddenly felt that someone behind them reached out to cover their mouths, and then it was the biting cold that the blade cut through the main artery of the neck.

In the sound of spurting blood like a fountain, three Japanese soldiers fell limply, and one of the corpses held a photo in his hand, which showed a young woman with a virtuous smile holding a baby in her arms.

"Stop advancing, we have reached the edge of the Japanese-controlled area!" Zhang Jinglu ordered in a low voice, "Take out the radio!" He sat down with a slight sigh of relief, but there was a slippery soft feeling under his buttocks, and he stood up hastily Standing up, with the help of continuous bullets, he saw himself sitting on the chest of a corpse whose body had been blasted to pieces long ago.

Zhang Jinglu guessed that he just sat on the heart, liver and stomach of this corpse.

Zhang Jinglu stepped forward to look at the steel helmet worn by the corpse: "The German-style steel helmet is our own brother!" He waved his hand, "Take it back!"

A scout stepped forward and tried to drag the corpse up, but the corpse, which was as rotten as tofu, immediately flowed all over the ground, and maggots wriggled densely among the sour and smelly rotten flesh and pus.

Zhang Jinglu stepped forward and cut off the head of the corpse, and put the head in his bag.

"This brother is rotten like this, just take the head back!" Zhang Jinglu didn't have any mood swings, and he was used to such things for a long time.

"Send a telegram quickly! Our plane has arrived!" Zhang Jinglu ordered again.

The thunderous roar of Chinese Air Force bombers came from the night sky.

A scout hastily turned on the radio and began to call in full force: "This is the first unit! This is the first unit! We have arrived at the southeastern edge of the Japanese-controlled area, and we will launch a signal flare in 30 seconds! Launch a signal flare in 30 seconds!"

Immediately, a bomber pilot's voice came over the radio: "Yes! Repeat, yes!"

Zhang Jinglu and the rest of the scouts took out more than a dozen signal flares and installed them evenly within a range of tens of meters.

Ten seconds later, the scouts pulled the fuze together.

"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" More than a dozen dazzling spotlight flares roared into the sky.

"Quick retreat!" Zhang Jinglu growled, "Put on the gas mask!" The scouts hurriedly ran away wearing gas masks while rolling away. As soon as they left, several Japanese mortar shells roared towards the rising signal flare. At the place where the fire was rolling and the rubble was flying, at the same time, two ju-88 bombers who saw the ground signal flares immediately rushed to the sky, and their wings almost passed over the heads of the scouts, "Whew..." Amid the breathtaking sound of bombs breaking through the air, poisonous gas bombs landed on the area controlled by the Japanese army with great precision, exploding fireballs and poisonous smoke everywhere, and the yellow-green poisonous clouds that shone with flames immediately engulfed the large area. The Japanese army who resisted desperately among the ruins was drowned in the death storm.

Amidst the howling ghosts and wolves dancing wildly, the poisoned Japanese soldiers frantically scratched their throats and chests and rolled around in the poisonous clouds.

In order to prevent the "negative impact of international perception" and the resentment and condemnation of people in Western civilization, the national army with a large number of poison gas weapons had to use it secretly at night.

The chemical soldiers of the provisional 100th Division scattered into the frontline units, unceremoniously bombarded waves of poison gas shells on the heads of the Japanese army with launch tubes and launchers. Signal flares were fired to determine the location of the Japanese-controlled area, and then poison gas bombs were dropped on the Japanese troops.

Night bombing is actually difficult for the air force at this time, but the position of the national army's airport in Shanghai is fixed, and the position of Sandun Town is also fixed, so as long as the flight distance, flight direction, and flight altitude are determined, The bombers can fly over the town of Sandun, but the national army and the Japanese army have been fighting in a dog-tooth manner in Sandun Town. The indiscriminate bombing will not only hit the Japanese army, but also accidentally injure its own ground troops. The scouts touched the edge of the Japanese-controlled area and fired signal flares to guide the aerial bombers.

Signal flares rose one after another in the burning Sandun Town, and poison gas bombs were accurately thrown on the heads of the Japanese soldiers.

Of course, real precision bombing cannot be achieved by relying on this primitive method. Some national troops were also accidentally dropped gas bombs by their own bombers. A battalion of the 11th Regiment of the 68th Division was very unlucky to be hit by their own gas bombs. , Half of the battalion officers and soldiers were poisoned and turned over.

Although this is a bad thing, it can also be "turned into a good thing." Hundreds of officers and soldiers who were poisoned were all given orders when they were admitted to the field hospital. "When questioned by Chinese and foreign reporters, they must insist that they were attacked by Japanese gas bombs." .

Objectively speaking, the national army's dealing with the Japanese army was indeed a bit "despicable". Some senior generals such as Huang Wei found it very difficult to accept, but the young officers headed by Jiang Weiguo disagreed. ".
