Anti-Japanese War: My strategist joins the game and awakens the small map!
Chapter 185 Iron Army
As the sky gradually darkens, the bright red sunset glow finally fades away, and faint starlight appears in the darkening sky. Although the light is weak, it can provide direction for those who are lost in the darkness.
In the direction of the Shiwuli Temple, on a mountain road south of Zhenhun Pass.
"Commander Chen, we're here."
Next to the man with glasses and a capable figure, the commander of the 771st Regiment, Zhang Zhengjun, ran quickly to his side, saluted him, and spoke in a low voice.
The entire journey was 35 kilometers, with more than 2,500 people being dispatched from the base to Zhenhun Pass for nearly three hours without stopping. Zhang Zhengjun's hat was already wet with sweat.
From the other side of the hill came bursts of intense gunfire, which made him tighten the box gun on his waist.
"The first battalion will move across the ravine on the right flank. The second and third battalions will follow me and occupy the top of the hill first."
The man with glasses folded the map and handed it to the guard platoon. Although there was only a hilltop between them, the constant flames and gunfire from the other side of the mountain made him frown.
He had already known about the telegram order and how difficult it was to stop an entire Japanese brigade. The telegram revealed that the Tiger Guards had left a battalion at Zhenhun Pass. Before coming, he really didn't know how the remaining battalion could hold the pass.
At first he thought he could not catch up, but when he heard the gunfire from Zhenhun Pass in the distance, he did not dare to let the soldiers stop. Even without him saying anything, the soldiers' pace became faster and faster, not daring to stop for a moment.
But when the 77th Regiment rushed towards the high ground beside the road, Chen Bu was standing on the high ground with the team. His eyes were fixed on a hill and his body trembled.
"Everyone attack!! Now... right now!!!" Chen's troops shouted immediately. There were two high points on the road to Zhenhun Pass, and one of them was in a frenzied exchange of fire.
As far as the eye could see, layers of Japanese corpses were piled up on the hillside. The ground halfway up the hillside was no longer visible. One could only see corpses intertwined together, and pools of blood had formed on some of the bomb craters.
The hillside was filled with smoke and flames. The higher you go, the fewer bodies there are, but the number of soldiers' bodies increases.
More than ten meters before the top of the mountain, instead of corpses, there were broken limbs and remains of soldiers everywhere. The tragic scene made Chen tremble all over, because he knew that this kind of scene could only happen when someone rushed towards the Japanese with a bag of explosives.
A sea of corpses and blood.
Chen's eyes were filled with silence, and the surrounding soldiers had red eyes. Immediately, under the leadership of their superiors, they began to approach the Japanese devils frantically.
The densely packed corpses clearly showed how fierce the exchange of fire had been before.
Although it was called a position, it had actually been blown to pieces by grenades. Some soldiers were lying directly on the craters, while some were standing next to huge rocks and firing their guns.
The heavy machine guns had long since stopped roaring, there were only sporadic gunshots and occasional light machine gun sounds, but as soon as the Japs approached.
The scattered gunshots from heavy machine guns immediately became more intense, and beams of fire illuminated the entire heights.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers gathered at the foot of the hill. Some of them had taken off their shirts and were wearing scarves with red flags on their heads as they charged forward, stepping on corpses.
Chen Bu looked at the scene in front of him in silence, because the fierceness of the battle in front of him made him truly realize the fighting will of this army.
On the top of the hill, a one-armed commander was constantly directing the soldiers on the position to defend it.
Guarding the Soul-Suppressing Pass.
Chen Bu, who saw this scene through the telescope, immediately roared loudly.
"Zhang Zhengjun!"
"To!"
"No matter what method you use, immediately open up a passage to support the right wing of the mountain at Zhenhun Pass!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Zhengjun's voice was also roaring. After receiving the order, he immediately went to the front.
How could he not see the scene before him? Before they came, they knew that there was only one battalion blocking the way here, but they were facing an entire brigade of the Japanese.
He actually managed to hold on until they supported him. He had fought all his life and was familiar with all the famous battles in the world. Countless classic blocking battles emerged in his mind, and countless blocking tactics filtered through his brain.
In these cases, he did not find any reference for how a few hundred people could withstand the attack of an entire Japanese brigade.
These are not five or six thousand militiamen, but a regular brigade of the Japanese devils.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
The soldiers of the 771st Regiment advanced frantically, trying their best to break through the high ground on the right wing. The Japanese reacted just as quickly, immediately sending their troops to the other side of the exchange of fire and gathering to block the attack.
As soon as the two armies came into contact, they exchanged fire almost immediately, with continuous gunfire.
In the third battle at the Soul-Calming Pass,
"Militia?" Chen Bu moved his gaze away from the top of the hill with some difficulty. Suddenly, he saw a firefight going on at the other end and was slightly stunned.
They were dressed in civilian clothes and had extremely fierce firepower. There were probably only about a thousand of them. They were in a mad stalemate with the Japanese. It was obvious that they also wanted to open a channel for support, but the Japanese were also very determined in their resistance.
The overall exchange of fire was distributed on both sides of the road, and there were countless bullet craters on the road.
There was a hint of surprise in Chen Bu's eyes, because he had never seen the firepower of the militia before him.
Looking at their arrangements and formations, it was surprising that a militia unit had such military proficiency and such a military formation arrangement. Chen Bu really couldn't understand which other militia in the northwest Shanxi region could do this.
"No, they are definitely not militiamen. They arrived at the battlefield later."
Chen Bu put down the telescope in his hand and made a judgment in his mind. If the militia team nearby had more than a thousand people, he couldn't be unaware of it, and their combat power was definitely not just that of a militia.
His eyes fixed on the position behind the Japanese army and looked at the battle route. The "militia" in the rear wanted to approach the position of Zhenhun Pass from the right wing, but they were blocked by the Japanese army, making it difficult for them to enter the high ground of Zhenhun Pass.
The Japanese also knew that they must not let this militia pass. The Zhenhun Pass had been attacked for a long time and could not be taken. If this militia went to the Zhenhun Pass again, they would have no chance of getting through.
It was obvious that the 4th Brigade had extremely high tactical proficiency. Even though the 771st Regiment joined the battle and caught the enemy off guard, it only slightly eased the attack on Zhenhun Pass.
The 771st Regiment arrived later and had the advantage in numbers. The entire regiment of 2,500 people launched a sudden attack, trying to reach the high ground of Zhenhun Pass from the right wing, but they were quickly blocked on the attack route by a thousand Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese obviously also saw the intention of the 771st Regiment, and the remaining 1,000 Japanese actually rushed directly towards the high ground on the right wing of Zhenhun Pass.
This scene made Chen Bu's eyes instantly fierce, and the telescope saw the situation on the right wing of Zhenhun Pass.
"Communicator, have Zhang Zhengjun send the Second Battalion to attack the enemy positions directly below the Zhenhun Pass Heights. We must hold them there and don't let them charge the heights."
"Third Battalion, infiltrate. Reach the perimeter of the Soul-Calming Pass Heights within five minutes. If you can't take the heights, defend the two roads below!"
When the order was given, the voice was roaring.
Now the Japs were blocking their support in order to break through the Zhenhun Pass, because he could see that the blocking force on the top of the mountain was at its end, and the Japs naturally saw it too.
Chen Bu held a telescope with an anxious look on his face, observing the high ground on the right wing of Zhenhun Pass.
The Japanese mortars began to bombard. Although the number was small, the suppression of Zhenhun Pass was astonishing.
The commander with a broken arm was still holding on, but a ball of fire was heard from a cannon not far away, causing Chen Bu's pupils to shrink slightly.
"Iron Army..."
