    After receiving the support of the aviation reconnaissance aircraft, the situation of the 26th Division was slightly better. With the assistance of the reconnaissance aircraft, they could detect the movements of the main force of the national army as early as possible, and also find out whether there was an ambush ahead.

    It¡¯s just that the Japanese army is still slow to move because the combination of landmines and snipers is really a headache!

    Reconnaissance aircraft can detect large national troops and whether there is an ambush ahead, but it is difficult to detect carefully disguised snipers.

    ¡°Even because a reconnaissance plane was flying too low and due to the angle, a Chinese sniper on the ground took the opportunity to shoot the pilot, killing the pilot and causing the plane to lose control and fall to the ground.

    Having learned this lesson, the Japs¡¯ fighter planes no longer dare to get too close to the ground.

    In desperation, Anda 23 could only grit his teeth and order all suspicious places in front of the artillery team or places suitable for snipers to hide. At the same time, he ordered people to find hundreds of sheep and dozens of cattle to serve as cannon fodder and drive them away.  Following these livestock through minefields.

    "Zhang Shaolin and others were also shocked by the little devil's tricks. As soon as the sheep entered the minefield, various trigger and mixed mines were exploded one after another.

    With violent explosions, the sheep fled in all directions!

    But since the road behind them was blocked by the Japanese and puppet troops, the sheep could only rush forward. Most of the minefields laid by the Independent Brigade were destroyed in an instant.

    The Japanese and puppet troops were still worried about fish slipping through the net, so they drove the cattle onto the mountain road and followed the running sheep.

    ¡° Sure enough, something slipped through the net. Although many cattle were killed, after the second cleaning procedure, the mines on the mountain road were basically cleared.

    Next is the puppet army, and the Japanese army is last!

    Although it took a lot of time, the effect was very good, much better than using engineers to clear mines.

    At the beginning, the snipers of the national army wanted to kill the sheep, but as soon as the Japanese artillerymen who had been prepared heard the sound of gunfire, they immediately launched a bombardment.

    After losing three carefully trained excellent snipers in succession, Zhang Shaolin had no choice but to withdraw all the snipers, and then replaced the infantry to intercept them.

    Lieutenant General Anda 23 originally thought that after the national army¡¯s tactics of landmines and snipers failed, the troops would be able to pass through quickly and arrive at Sumu Mountain by tomorrow at the latest.

    However, after walking forward for less than an hour, I heard dense gunfire and even the sound of artillery firing from the mountain road ahead.

    "Then the troops in front sent people to report that they found a sniper position in front of them. The opponent occupied the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road and built simple defenses on them, blocking the way forward of the Imperial Japanese Army.

    Anda 23 immediately ordered the vanguard to attack and completely defeat the Chinese defenders in front!

    But after the gunfire started, it did not stop until eight o'clock in the evening. The first line of defense of the Chinese army was as difficult to pass as a natural chasm.

    It¡¯s not that the Japanese and puppet troops are not brave enough or tenacious enough, but that the national army¡¯s defensive positions are too tricky.

    This position is not only built in the narrowest part of the mountain road, but also in an uphill position. The Chinese army is condescending and has a good line of sight, while the Japanese army is in a feint attack state. The slope is almost 60 degrees, let alone a charge.  After fighting, even hiking uphill is exhausting.

    The Chinese army also built a large number of trenches and half-covered bunkers on the gentle slopes and cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, and deployed a large number of troops.

    More importantly, in order to deal with the Japanese tank troops, the Chinese army simply dug out many parts of the mountain road that was not wide in the first place, especially the big pit near the main position, which was 5 meters wide and 5 meters wide.  Deep, it was dug exactly according to the specifications of an anti-tank trench.

    In this way, it is impossible for those iron bastards of the Japanese army to come up!

    Under the order of Anda Twenty-san, the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line launched 13 attacks in one day, but they were all defeated. The corpses of Japanese and puppet troops were everywhere on the front line, layer upon layer.

    And the blood of the fallen flowed down the hillside and gathered in the large pit at the bottom of the hill, turning the entire soil at the bottom of the pit into mud. The scene was extremely horrifying.

    Datong front line. Japanese army temporary headquarters.

    "Baga, the majestic field division of the Imperial Japanese Army can't even attack a single mountain defense line of that person. It's simply a shame." Anda 23 roared loudly at the dozen regiment captains and captains under his command.  road.

    as aA senior general who followed Hideki Tojo to invade Suiyuan and served as the division commander of the 37th Division of the First Army, Adachi Twenty-three is proud.

    Like most officers of the Japanese army, in the eyes of Adachi Twenty-three, the Chinese army is just balls of prepared sushi, ready to be eaten at any time.

    The Central Army of the Kuomintang, the most powerful force in the Chinese Army, was completely defeated by the bayonets of the Imperial Japanese Army. In less than a year, it lost one-third of its territory, including their capital Nanjing.  , What big waves can a rat-like army make?

    Although Anda 23 was also surprised by Li Guoyao's achievements, he did not think that the Chinese general was very difficult until there was a formal battle.

    However, after being taught a lesson by Li Guoyao, I can¡¯t accept it anymore!

    Colonel Kameo Ueno, captain of the 11th Infantry Regiment, immediately said: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the troops on the front line have tried their best, but the defense line is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the opponent's firepower is very fierce. During the day, I am humble.  After counting carefully, in the first three rounds of attacks, the opponent only used six permanent firepower points in the three directions of left, center and right. In addition, there were two light and heavy machine guns in each direction, adding up to about 18 light and heavy machine guns.  "

    "But when the imperial army attacked for the fourth time, the number became 28, a full increase of ten light and heavy machine guns. Even during the last few attacks at night, the opponent's light and heavy machine guns deployed at the front were  The number has reached an astonishing 58, far exceeding the 24 in total of the Imperial Army"

    Before Colonel Ueno could finish speaking, Adachi Twenty-san interrupted him rudely and said at the same time: "Baga, excuses, they are all excuses! It is true that the firepower of that person is fierce, but they don't have many artillery pieces."  , the few mortars were suppressed by the artillery regiment of the Imperial Japanese Army and did not dare to fire. Isn't this the advantage of the Imperial Army?"

    Colonel Ueno did not dare to say anything more, but he felt a little aggrieved!

    Damn it, it is true that the artillery of the Imperial Army is stronger than the one on the opposite side, but the largest caliber artillery of the Imperial Army is only a 75mm mountain cannon, not even a field cannon. Mountain cannons of this caliber are really good for ordinary garrison positions.  The blowing effect.

    But most of the positions on the opposite side are built on hillsides or cliffs. Due to the angle and the fact that there are many bunkers on the other side, to be honest, the Royal Army's artillery roars constantly during the day, but is the impact of the attack really scary?  Compliment.

    Of course, he didn¡¯t dare to say this directly. The Chief of Staff was obviously very dissatisfied with him just now. If he dared to bully me again, he might be asked to go to the front line to supervise the battle tomorrow!

    After a long time, Anda Twenty-three calmed down his fiery temper and asked: "How many casualties did the troops have?"

    Colonel Ueno immediately replied: "Our unit is responsible for the main attack during the day today. So far, all three main brigades have been disabled. The number of killed soldiers has reached 892, 1183 wounded, and less than 900 people can still fight."

    "In addition, the fifth infantry regiment of the Royal Association Army that cooperated with the battle has almost suffered all casualties. The regiment leader Li Mingwei has also been seriously injured. There are less than 100 troops under his command who can still fight."

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden gasp from the entire command center!

    The Ueno Regiment is one of the only three main regiments of the 26th Division. After the Yamada Regiment was severely damaged in Datong City, the Ueno Regiment's status became even more prominent, but they never thought that this battle would be  He was disabled. No wonder Colonel Ueno would defend himself on such an occasion. It turned out that he really tried his best.

    Adachi Twenty-three also took a deep breath and said: "Tomorrowtomorrow I will personally send a report to Commander Okamura and ask the aviation regiment to send a group of heavy bombers to cooperate with our troops. Can we defeat the support/that force in front of us?  People, opening the road to Sumu Mountain depends on your performance!"

    "Hai!"
