I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

The huge explosion on the beach did not stop the Japanese army. After the explosion, the remaining Japanese troops continued to charge. They had to surround Huizhou before dawn and open a direct attack on Guangzhou.

When the Japanese army approached the Aodan Highway, the defenders' light and heavy machine guns opened fire. Yu Hanmou was quite domineering. Although the number of light and heavy machine guns of the 80,000 troops was limited, when concentrated together, it was an astronomical number.

The 40,000 Japanese troops had already suffered huge losses in the thunderstorm explosion, and now faced with the attack of the several-kilometer-long bunker machine gun array, they had lost a lot of troops. Knowing that they could not attack further, the commander ordered the signalman to call for a bombing. Ten minutes later, the naval guns opened fire, but it was of no use. The bunkers and bunkers along the entire Aodan Highway had been secretly reinforced after the high-level inspection, and could completely defend against the bombing of naval guns.

After half an hour of shelling, the Japanese army started charging again, but it was useless. They still could not break through the Aodan Highway after more than two hours. The Japanese commander Furuzhuang Kanro could no longer sit still and ordered his troops to break through the defense line at all costs. He didn't know that all 80,000 machine guns of the National Army had been mobilized. It would be ridiculous if several months of plan were blocked by more than a hundred bunkers.

Seeing that the Japanese army had launched another desperate charge, most of the newly arrived machine gunners carried their machine guns out of the bunker and entered the machine gun positions that had been set up long ago. The front-line commander communicated with the artillery positions in the Daling Mountains and requested them to open fire immediately.

A spectacular scene appeared in Daya Bay. Hundreds of fire snakes appeared along the more than ten-mile-long road, madly harvesting the invading Japanese troops. No matter how many died, the Japanese commander never stopped waving his sword.

"Go to hell!"

"Tattah tattah tattah tattah"!

The Guangdong defenders had few Type 92s or Type 99 rifles, and most of their machine guns were Maxim heavy machine guns and Czech light machine guns.

The Maxim's rate of fire is 600 rounds per minute, which is much higher than the 450 rounds per minute of the Type 92. In addition, the belt feed is faster than the plate feed of the Type 92.

If we talk about the weapon that has killed the most people in modern history, Maxim claims to be second, and no other weapon dares to claim to be first. It’s so cool, it’s faster than cutting leeks!

The artillery positions in the rear also opened fire. The shooting scales had been adjusted long ago, and hundreds of artillery pieces were all aimed at the Japanese army's gathering and charge areas.

boom! boom! boom!

Flames continued to appear in the Japanese formation, and each explosion took away countless Japanese soldiers. In less than twenty minutes, just less than twenty minutes, the Japanese attack failed, leaving behind a large number of corpses. The survivors either retreated to the beach or lay among the corpses waiting for the next order. The Kuomintang machine gunners quickly carried their machine guns and returned to the bunker.

The Japanese naval guns fired again, even more crazily than last time, firing at the Aodan Highway and the calculated artillery positions for a full hour. However, the artillery positions were all set up on the reverse slope, so there was very little damage.

The commanders on various beaches reorganized their forces and advanced in small groups under the help of artillery fire, but it still failed. The firepower of the bunkers had not been damaged at all, and the artillery continued to bombard. There was no hope, and all the frontline commanders requested to retreat.

Gu Zhuang Ganlang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. What happened to the slack defense? The commander of the army had entered Huizhou City tonight. He knew there was no hope, so he ordered the boat to rush to meet him.

The forward observation post discovered that the Japanese army retreated to the beach and immediately contacted the artillery position, requesting that the artillery fire be extended. The artillery was very happy and could fire indefinitely. The key was that the naval guns could not hit them. Although the range could not reach the ships, it was still no problem to hit the beaches and shallow seas.

As the small boat transporting the soldiers had just rushed onto the shallows, artillery fire came. The remaining wounded and soldiers of the Japanese army were crowded on the beach waiting for transportation. For a while, they were blown to pieces by the shells, and the naval guns were still firing wildly. They ignored the artillery positions that could not be hit, nor the bunkers and dark bunkers along the road, but bombarded indiscriminately under the road, intending to block the charge of the National Army that could arrive at any time.

Obviously they thought too much. The National Army had no intention of charging. Even if rushing to the beach could destroy the remaining Japanese troops, the commanders of each unit understood the power of naval guns, and no one ordered the troops to go up and die.

The small boats transferred the defeated soldiers and the wounded under artillery fire. Those who were lucky were fine, but those who were unlucky would have a shell hit the boat or around it just as it was filled with defeated soldiers, and people and horses would be thrown to the ground in an instant, with limbs flying everywhere.

It is easy to go up but difficult to go back. The Japanese army dispatched all their small boats and transported the soldiers back and forth many times. It took nearly two hours to transport all the defeated soldiers and the wounded.

There were statistical officers on each ship. They would take statistics one by one as the boats were transported. Finally, after all the small boats had been transported, all the statistical results were sent to the command ship. After a quick summary, the results came out. Of the 40,000 Japanese troops that landed, only more than 13,500 were withdrawn, and more than half of them were seriously wounded.

We couldn't stay any longer. Although we were invincible at sea, there were too many wounded. We had to retreat to Magong Island, Penghu, to provide emergency treatment for the wounded.

It was daybreak. The weather in November was very cool. A breeze of level 4 or 5 created white waves on the sea. Seagulls were screaming miserably. The water near the shore had turned dark red. The tide had receded. The entire seven or eight kilometers distance, from the mudflats where the tide had receded to more than a thousand meters from the coastal highway, was densely packed with corpses.

Two big men from the Fourth War Zone were walking along the road, pointing at the corpses that could be seen everywhere from time to time. When they were interested, they even took the guards' binoculars to take a look.

"Brother Jingzhi, there should be 20,000! How do I report it?"

"Brother Baoqi, report according to 20,000 first! This is a good number. Let the troops come up. We can't let the bodies be swept into the sea. The old man is ambitious. He put all the bodies on the road, took pictures, and counted the data. We must make the military achievements real. This is our first battle in Lingnan. It was a great victory in the first battle. The old man must publicize it vigorously."

"Brother Jingzhi, I still don't understand why Leng Qiang can predict the future! He actually guessed it right. If we hadn't taken precautions in advance, Huizhou would have been in danger! There were at least 40,000 troops last night! Once Huizhou falls, Guangdong may not be able to be saved."

"A strategic genius, this is the evaluation given by Delin. Even though he is thousands of miles away, he has the foresight to defend against sneak attacks in Jiujiang, attach importance to the Ma'an fortress, and also defend against sneak attacks here. This kind of vision is not something that ordinary people have."

"Okay, let's stop looking at it. Let's go back and generate electricity. We have done what we should do. Just wait for the reward."

After reading the detailed war situation report, Chen Feng was very excited. An important historical node had changed. The Japanese army had lost more than 20,000 troops. Even if they wanted to quickly occupy Guangzhou, it would not be that easy. The Fourth War Zone had gained momentum in the battle and was temporarily in high spirits. Seeing the two people next to him looking anxious, he handed the telegram to Li Yunyan next to him:

"Look, you two! Good news, very good news. We must celebrate. I will make you spicy rabbit meat tonight."
