As the center of the entire Sanchongling defense line, this is a battleground for military strategists. If the Japanese army wants to break through Sanchuling's defense line, they must conquer this group of bunkers.
Xia Yang arrived here in the middle of the night. After a few hours of rest, he was woken up by Xiao Yuebing.
"Military seat, the Japs' troops have begun to advance towards us." Xiao Yuebing said.
Xia Yang rubbed his eyes, then stood up, walked to the command room inside the bunker group, looked at the map and said: "In three hours, if the little devil's troops want to reach Sanchong Ridge, it will take at least three Hours of time. Inform the troops and start preparing for war immediately. The Japs will arrive at Sanchongling No. 1 Bunker Group in three hours."
According to Xia Yang's plan, the Sanchong Ridge line of defense will block the Japanese Fifth Division for at least two days.
In addition to the No. 1 bunker group, Sanchuling's defense line also has No. 2 and No. 3 bunker groups on both wings. But it is located on the flank, and the terrain is more dangerous. If the Japanese army wants to attack, it will definitely be the No. 1 bunker group where the terrain is relatively flat.
The two bunker groups on the flanks are two battalions of veterans of the militia regiment and the garrison regiment. Their combat capabilities are relatively low, but they are all soldiers who have been trained for several months, but they have not been exposed to too much fire of war.
??Further back, there is the second line of defense in Sanchuling. The terrain there is also difficult, and it will also take a lot of time for the Japanese army to break through there.
¡°After passing Sanchong Ridge, there were dozens of blocking positions, large and small, arranged by Xia Yang for the Japanese army. Every step the Japanese army takes in this direction will pay a huge price.
Not only in this direction, but also in several other directions, Taibai Mountain's defense can be said to be extremely strong. The Japanese troops were in this mountain forest and had to pay a huge price if they wanted to enter the core area of ??Taibai Mountain.
At this time, the vanguard of the Japanese army had already begun to move in the direction of Sanchongling.
According to the intelligence they obtained, there are three mountain roads on Sanchong Ridge, through which they can enter the enemy's hinterland. According to the intelligence passed back by Hase Ikawa's special operations brigade, the enemy's bunker groups here are all on the mountain walls, and some are built using the mountain's terrain. They are very strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Itagaki Seishiro moved forward with the main force, and Watanabe Kyoyama¡¯s epidemic prevention and water supply troops also followed into Saneling.
If the strong attack fails, Itagaki Seishiro does not mind using poison gas bombs to disintegrate the enemy's combat effectiveness.
"Division Commander, you'd better ride a horse. There are still seven or eight kilometers of mountain road ahead." Colonel Nishimura Rion, chief of staff of the Fifth Division, led a bay red horse over and said.
Itagaki Seishiro put away the telescope, and Nishimura Rion followed him to fight in all directions. The two had a close relationship. He nodded and said: "Nishimura, you can also ride on horseback. We are older and no longer what we were when we were young."
Nishimura Riwen smiled, then he also climbed onto a war horse next to him, then looked at the three mountains in the distance and said: "That is the triple ridge. According to the mountains, the enemy will at least be among the triple ridges." Above, set up three lines of defense. Moreover, the terrain of those three mountains becomes higher as you go further back, making it more difficult to attack."
But Seishiro Itagaki said: "Actually, the first mountain ridge is the most difficult to fight. The enemy on that mountain ridge has the most determined will to resist, and the defense must be the strongest. Once the first mountain ridge is broken through, the defenders on the next two mountains will be the most difficult. The morale of the army will definitely be dampened. When the time comes, if we launch a large-scale attack, it will be much easier than attacking the first mountain."
Nishimura Riwen smiled and said: "That's true, and after attacking the first mountain ridge, the main force of our division can be better deployed."
Itagaki Seishiro said: "That's true. Once we enter the interior of Taibai Mountain, we must send a large number of scout troops to draw accurate terrain maps. After determining the terrain, we will continue to advance, instead of being like Nakajima Imago. Before we fully understood the internal terrain of Wutai Mountain, we ventured deep into the enemy's hinterland."
"Itagaki-kun, this is the first time I've seen you use your troops so cautiously. Even when facing the powerful Soviet army, you were all-in, and your offensive was extremely swift and violent," Nishimura Toshion said.
Itagaki Seishiro pursed his lips and said: "Yes, it does not match my usual arrogant way of using troops. It's just that this time the enemy we face is unusual. This person's name is Xia Yang, and we have fought against him in Nomenhan. This time People are not only good at offense, but also very good at defense. Once, more than a thousand remnant soldiers were used to defend a county.? weeks. What attacked them was an integrated division. "
Nishimura Rion looked in the other two directions and said thoughtfully: "I hope that the Eighth Division and the Ninth Division can clearly realize the strength of the enemy like you."
Itagaki Seishiro sneered and said: "Those two juniors have not fought a few battles, but they have their eyes high. But it doesn't matter, let them suffer, and they will know what attitude they should use to fight this battle. "
As he spoke, he looked at the troops marching like a long dragon on the mountain ridge.
Their troops were several kilometers in front and back. As the vanguard, the 41st Regiment under the Ninth Brigade of the Fifth Division, under the leadership of the commander Tetsujiro Yamada, had reached the first line of defense from Sanchong Ridge. Less than five kilometers away.
If they are in the plains, it will only take them less than half an hour to reach their destination. But on this rugged mountain road, it took them more than two hours to travel.
Xia Yang saw the vanguard of the Japanese army through the observation hole drilled in the rock wall. The flying rising sun flag looked particularly eye-catching among the lush spring mountains. It's like a piece of dog skin plaster is stuck on the delicate and white skin of a beautiful girl. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
