"Ah, I forgot one thing!" Pan Feng finally said, "I am still an American citizen!" He laughed, "Americans who died on the Sino-Japanese battlefield!"

"I still remember my American name!" Xu Lei also laughed, "Dennis Xu!"

"No!" Qu Yang cried, "We are all Chinese!"

"If we are Americans, why come back?" Liang Changsheng burst into tears.

Inside the Wulongshan fort, the fort commander Zhang Chao was heartbroken because he wanted to blow up the cannons here: "If you really want to blow up these cannons, you might as well blow me up!" He roared, "I won't go! I'm willing to stay with me!" Those who come down, continue to fire! Fire!" Luo Long brought people over to set up Zhang Chao and left, leaving more than 40 wounded and voluntary artillerymen in the fort. During the fort, the artillerymen detonated the shells inside. In the big explosion, the fort fell apart, the artillery was blown up, and more than 400 Japanese soldiers were killed and injured.

When the sound of aircraft engines was heard in the night sky, the defenders of Wulong Mountain fired more than a dozen signal flares and flares on the mountain, and the ju-88 bombers in the air determined the target position. A total of 18 ju-88s were thrown into the battle , carrying more than 50 tons of bombs.

In fact, when the Chinese Air Force bomber fleet flew over, the Japanese army on the ground did not take precautions, because the Japanese army misjudged that the Chinese Air Force did not have a large-scale bomber force and could not carry out night bombing. When the -88 fleet bombed the Japanese army indiscriminately, it completely caught the Japanese army by surprise, and the unsuspecting Japanese army was panicked by the bombing.

Cracking bombs fell from the sky, and the Japanese army was flying with flesh and blood, and thousands of Japanese soldiers were killed and injured.

The strong performance of the air force greatly supported the "Wulongshan Great Rescue", but also lost 3 valuable bombers, one of which was shot down by Japanese anti-aircraft fire, and the other two were lost due to flight.

After paying the price of more than 7000 casualties, the Nanjing Army Beilu troops rescued more than [-] people from Wulong Mountain. Among them, there were only more than [-] soldiers, and the rest were civilians. The Wulong Mountain battle officially ended.

After the loss of Wulong Mountain, the northern barrier of Nanjing no longer existed. Although Qixia Mountain and Beigu Mountain still resisted, the urban area was completely exposed to the front of the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army also paid a heavy price to capture Wulong Mountain. cost.

The Battle of Wulong Mountain lasted for 22 days. The Japanese army attacking Wulong Mountain was the 5th Division of the Japanese Army known as the "Steel Army". It had an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength and heavy firepower. There were only more than 3100 people, and more than 700 of them were wounded soldiers before the war. The defenders stubbornly resisted the Japanese army with only fortifications. More than 2000 people died in battle, and almost all the survivors were injured. civilians), if you add the Battle of Longtan Town, the final rescue operation at Wulong Mountain and the bombing of the Chinese Air Force, the 8000th Division paid a heavy price for more than 5 casualties in order to capture the northern barrier of Nanjing City. More than half of the dead.

After this battle, the 5th Division lost its former "unstoppable" vigor like a castrated beast, because this battle not only caused more than half of the 5th Division's casualties, but also mentally defeated most of the officers and soldiers of the division. , making the division "glory no longer".

When the northern battlefield officially died down, the southern battlefield entered a critical period.

Chapter 311 Iron Counterattack (8)

Dashengguan Battlefield, Daao Mountain on the edge of the Japanese 16th Division's control area, at two o'clock in the morning, everything is quiet and the night is as dark as ink.

The terrain of Jiangsu Province is a large plain as a whole, but there are also a small number of hills, mainly concentrated in the southwest. Nanjing is located in the southwest of Jiangsu Province, so Nanjing is "near the mountains" and presents a hilly area, except for Zijin Mountain. In addition to several relatively large hills, such as Xixia Mountain, Qixia Mountain, and Beigu Mountain, small hills of tens of meters or more are dotted around Nanjing City, and Dawa Mountain is one of them.

The "mountain name" of Dawa Mountain is quite imposing. In fact, this "mountain" is a small hill with a stretch of 500 meters and a maximum altitude of 30 meters. It is surrounded by several ponds and streams.

Undoubtedly, Daao Mountain has no military value, it is only a dispensable commanding height on the edge of the 16th Division's control area, so Lieutenant Makino, the commander of the 19st Battalion of the 20th Regiment of the 1th Brigade of the division, is just a symbol A small team of troops was temporarily sent to be responsible for patrolling and guarding the area around Daao Mountain.

Under normal circumstances, the number of Japanese soldiers in a team is between 50 and 70. The Japanese team in Daaoshan had 65 people when it was full before the war. At this time, there were only 38 people, and more than half of them could walk. light wounded.

The reason why Lieutenant Makino made such an arrangement was naturally because the excessively fierce fighting caused a large reduction in the number of troops in the Japanese army. All brigades, regiments, brigades, and even squadrons and squads lost one-third of the light ones and more than half of the heavy ones. Already stretched, and at the same time they had to concentrate their forces to attack Dashengguan. Naturally, the Japanese army's garrison strength in secondary areas was greatly reduced.

Thirty-eight Japanese soldiers were scattered in the area of ​​Daou Mountain. Although Dawa Mountain is small, it can accommodate these Japanese soldiers, and there are more than enough.

Captain Kakimoto, who led the team, had to let his subordinates patrol in groups of two or three, and at the same time agreed that "if any abnormal situation is found, fire a gun and call the police immediately."

In the dark woods, First Class Toshiro and his companion First Class Hashimoto Mitsuji are patrolling.

The two walked bored, and Dong Shiro walked in fear. He found that the surrounding trees were like ghosts with claws and claws, and they seemed to be rushing towards him at any time. He had to be terrified. ...It's China, it's the enemy's country, the enemy may come out at any time and anywhere...it will kill me..." As he walked, he became more and more flustered, and turned to chat with Hashimoto, only to find that Hashimoto was sitting on the ground.

"Hashimoto, what are you doing?" Toshiro asked in surprise.

Hashimoto yawned lazily, looking sluggish: "I'll sleep for a while, don't go far!"

"Hashimoto! What are you kidding!" Toshiro became more and more surprised, "We will all be beaten if Captain Kakimoto finds out! Also, this is China! How can you sleep?"

Hashimoto was a little impatient. He was very pleasantly surprised to find a pile of straw, which must have been piled up here by Chinese farmers nearby before the war. He fell on it and stretched comfortably: "I'm really sleepy, Endless fighting, so tiring..."

"I think you have gone to the 'comfort station' too many times!" Dong Shiro said coldly.

In order to boost morale, Lieutenant General Nakajima ordered his subordinates to organize the kidnapped Chinese women into so-called "comfort stations".

Hashimoto grinned, and then snored loudly among the straws.

Toshiro shook his head helplessly. Although he hated Hashimoto a little, he was worried about leaving Hashimoto here alone, so he just wandered around and didn't dare to go far.

The surroundings were very quiet, only the sound of Hashimoto's snoring. Dong Shiro recalled the fierce battles of these days, and missed his hometown more and more, because the battles were too cruel and fierce, so that the death rates of both sides were very high, and the intensity of the battle was extremely high. The fighting exhausted both sides.

"The Chinese army didn't seem to launch a counterattack tonight, they must be tired!" Toshiro sighed, but in the next second, he felt as if he had fallen into a hole in the ice.

A sharp dagger was pressed against the main artery of Dong Shiro's neck, and four or five ghostly figures appeared around him without warning, and one of them was holding the dagger in the most intimate way with the deadliest part of Dong Shiro's body. s contact.

"Zhi...Zina soldier? China soldier!" Dong Shilang was stunned when he came back to his senses. He felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, replaced by a sense of fear that went deep into the bone marrow, "I fell into the hands of China soldier I'm... Am I going to die soon? Mother, father..." Dong Shiro was shaking like chaff while his liver and gallbladder were torn. The rifle in his hand was taken away by the opponent, and then his hands were tied behind his back by a rope.

"If you don't want to die, just cooperate!" A Chinese soldier said in fluent and proficient Japanese.

Dong Shirou was so frightened that he didn't even have the strength to nod.

The other two Chinese soldiers carefully and skillfully groped Dong Shiro's body, found out Dong Shiro's military registration certificate and some scattered personal items, and then handed them over to the fourth Chinese soldier, who took Dong Shiro Putting his military ID card under his clothes, Toshiro noticed that the man was wearing a raincoat.

The Chinese soldier turned on the flashlight in his raincoat and read in a low voice: "Toshiro was born on April 1912th in the first year of Taisho (27) in Tango Town, Takeno County, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, and on August 12th in Showa 1937 (16) Enlisted in the army, the current military position is No.19 Division, No.20 Brigade, No.[-] Regiment, First Battalion, Third Squadron, Second Squadron, Second Squadron..." He let out a disdainful "tch" after finishing reading, " It’s another small shrimp, it’s a pity to throw it away if there’s no meat to eat!”

"Kill him?" asked the fifth Chinese soldier. "There is a Japanese pig in the haystack over there, sleeping like a dead pig. Let's turn them all into real dead pigs!"

"Pig brains!" The fourth soldier, who was obviously an officer, scolded in a low voice, "What's the use of killing these two low-level Japanese pigs? What a great record! We need to put a long line of big fish! First turn this one into a 'roundworm' '!" He pointed at Toshiro.

Dong Shilang was terrified when he heard it. He didn't know what "roundworm" meant, and he was sure it was definitely not a good thing.

Two minutes later, Dong Shiro was taken to a small tent tens of meters away. The small tent was foldable and portable, made of black cloth, so people could turn on the flashlight inside.

Lu Xinrong in the tent looked at Dong Shiro who was brought in by Gu Xunzhi, and scratched his head depressingly: "My deputy, why is he such a young man?"

"Nonsense!" Gu Xunzhi retorted, "Will the big fish be sent here to patrol in the middle of the night? We can't really enter the devil's control area. If we are exposed, the whole team will be ruined, so right now we can only Going around in the extension zone!"

"The pawns crossing the river are like chariots!" Zhang Peng next to him smiled slightly, "If you use them well, even a pawn can be a general!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" Lu Xinrong asked Gu Xunzhi, "Did this little fish resist?"

"Resist? Your soul is almost scared away!" Gu Xunzhi laughed.

"Very good!" Zhang Peng looked at Dong Shilang with satisfaction, "He has the potential to be a 'roundworm'!" He stepped forward and began to take off Dong Shilang's clothes, while Lu Xinrong next to him spread out two sheets in the tent, both of which were enough to wear. There is a portrait of one square meter.

Dong Shiro saw that one of the two portraits was of Emperor Hirohito, and the other was Emperor Hirohito's wife, Empress Kojun, and his mind was completely confused.

"Take out the things in your crotch and put them on the faces of your emperor and your empress!" Lu Xinrong yelled and ordered Dong Shiro, and then he showed a very malicious smile, "Remember to smile, because you have to take pictures!" He said Said, held up a camera.

The unbelievable mental shock made Dongshiro completely fall into a sluggish mind.

"My chief of staff..." Lu Xinrong asked Zhang Peng full of praise after finishing his work, "How did you come up with such a shady method? To be honest, I really worry about how to control the prisoners!"

Zhang Peng giggled: "Didn't they regard the emperor as a god? Then force them to do something disrespectful to the portrait of the emperor, and make sure they either break down or obey!" He looked at the bare-bottomed Dong Shiro, "Remember Wait, if you dare not listen to us, we will send the two photos of you just now to your hometown in Kyoto! Wait a minute, we will let you go, and you will go back to the army and continue to be your private officer, but , within three days you have to figure out the division headquarters, two brigade headquarters and eight regiment headquarters of the No.16 division (four infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, one cavalry regiment, one engineer regiment) Don’t worry, you don’t need to figure out the location of your regiment, a supply unit, etc. After all, you are just a small soldier, but at least you have to figure out the location of your division headquarters. At this time three days later, we will wait here You, if you didn't come at that time or didn't bring us information when you came, your whole family will be waiting for bad luck!"

In the middle of nowhere, Dong Shilang became a "roundworm" who was placed in the 417th Division by the 16th Special Operations Battalion of the Nanjing Army.

The 417th Special Operations Battalion has not used this nasty method once or twice, so it is very familiar with it. In fact, not all the hijacked Japanese soldiers will become "roundworms". Some fiercely resisted and were killed. Suicide, and maybe "surrender yourself" (go back and confess your "crime" to your commander), but if you go all out, you will always gain something. If Dong Shiro is added, the 417th Special Operations Battalion is already in the 16th Division Six or seven "roundworms" were planted in the regiment.

There is no need to say much about Toshiro's psychological transformation process after he returned. In the end, he found out the location of the division headquarters through inquiring, and betrayed the division commander Nakajima.

This was four days ago, and at this time four days later, the Nanjing counterattack broke out.

Lu Xinrong, Gu Xunzhi, and Zhang Peng led more than 300 capable members of the special warfare battalion, lurking on the top of Zhushan near the village where the 16th Division's headquarters is located, preparing to "behead" the black tiger's heart.

The loyalty of the 417th Special Operations Battalion, which has undergone internal cleansing, is absolutely reliable at this time. The combatants are deeply excited and looking forward to this dangerous mission that needs to go deep into the caves of dragons and tigers. On the one hand, they want to use this to prove themselves thoroughly, and on the other On the one hand, they want to truly contribute to the country as Chinese, and at the same time, they want to repay Jiang Weiguo for the "reinvention grace" and generous treatment given to them.

"Of the locations given by the six roundworms who came back to report, five people are the same, and one person is the second theory. It is certain that the lair of that old devil in Zhongdao is in this cradle village!" Zhang Peng whispered, " seat, deputy battalion seat, our main force has already begun to besiege the Nakajima Division in an all-round way. Show off!"

"Our more than 300 brothers have confessed, and they died well. Although we did not accomplish anything, we did all fall on the anti-Japanese battlefield as Chinese soldiers. We died well, but..." Gu Xunzhi was a little anxious, "If you die before you have achieved an inch of merit, you will not die with peace!"

"Yes!" Lu Xinrong gritted his teeth, "You all know that the purpose of this counterattack is to completely wipe out this Nakajima division. As far as Jian Nakajima is concerned, the meaning and value are extraordinary! To die is to die, but death is meaningless and worthless, which is really unreconciled!"

"It would be great if it could create more chaos for the Japanese army!" Gu Xunzhi raised his binoculars.

An idea flashed in Zhang Peng's mind: "If there are planes bombing Cradle Village at this time, wouldn't we be able to take advantage of the chaos?"

Lu Xinrong smiled helplessly: "Can our plane be dispatched at night?"

Zhang Peng insisted: "Try it! If you don't try, it will be impossible. If you try, there will be hope! I believe that the second son attaches great importance to our action, so our request should be satisfied by him." of!"

Lu Xinrong nodded, and ordered: "Send a telegram to Second Young Master, requesting air force reinforcements!"

The communications soldiers immediately sent a request telegram to the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters.

In fact, Lu Xinrong did not have much hope for this telegram. On the one hand, he felt that his troops were only at the battalion level. He knew very well that it was difficult for planes to bomb at night. Even the Japanese bombers that adopted the "transoceanic critical strike" tactics could not be dispatched in the dark night without stars and moons, let alone the Chinese Air Force, which had lower bombing skills.

But Lu Xinrong did not expect that not only his request was granted, but also that the plane arrived very quickly, arriving in 10 minutes.

The reason why it is so fast is firstly that Jiang Weiguo really paid attention to it, and secondly because some ju-88 bombers at the Dajiaochang Airport and the Ming Palace Airport have just completed their reinforcements to Wulong Mountain, and it happened to be "warmed up", so it is natural to perform the same task at this time It is easy to handle.

While the thunder was rolling, more than 20 ju-88 bombers flew over the area of ​​Cradle Village and launched a violent bombing. The effect was just as Zhang Peng expected. There was chaos.

The bombs rolled down, the plane whizzed past, lightning flashed and thundered on the ground, Japanese screams and hoarse shouts came and went, and the Japanese army in a mess ran around everywhere amidst the thunderbolts.

When the water is muddied, it is natural to fish in troubled waters.

"Brothers! Go!" Lu Xinrong, who was so excited and uncontrollable, shouted and gave the order.

More than 300 officers and soldiers of the 417th Special Operations Battalion, who were originally Japanese soldiers from Taiwan and could be faked at this time, held back the blood that was starting to boil, and drove towards the Cradle Village where the headquarters of the 16th Division was located.

On the way, the officers and soldiers were advancing when they suddenly heard a voice in Japanese: "Hey! Come and help us!"

Lu Xinrong and other officers were taken aback. In fact, their nerves almost collapsed.

After looking along the prestige, Lu Xinrong held back his laughter, because he saw a bomb crater tens of meters away that was still emitting green smoke. There were some broken limbs, limbs, and pieces of flesh scattered around the crater, a pile of torn apart Japanese soldiers. Corpses, forty or fifty wounded Japanese soldiers with bruised skin, bleeding and howling, and twenty or thirty intact Japanese soldiers.

"Help us!" the leading Japanese captain yelled for help, "A bomb from a Chinese military plane just landed on our side! There are too many wounded soldiers, come and help us!"

"Help?" Lu Xinrong asked Gu Xunzhi and Zhang Peng in a low voice.

"Help me!" Gu Xunzhi's facial features were distorted, and he was holding back a smile because he wanted to gloat, "We still have to do business! Forget about these Japanese pigs! Get it done!"

"Help!" Zhang Peng whispered, "Stupid? We can just use them to cover us!"
