    The Qinglonggou battlefield was only more than ten kilometers wide. More than 100,000 Kwantung Army soldiers almost filled the entire area. The independent division's mixed night flight group was a disaster for them. A heavy bomb fell to the ground and exploded, almost  It can take away the lives of dozens of Kwantung Army soldiers. The human sea tactics seem very insignificant and powerless in the face of flames and steel.

    As the two field artillery brigade positions of the Third Army of the Kwantung Army were bombarded by an overwhelming bomb, the artillery turned into piles of broken parts, and the Kwantung Army artillery turned into mutilated corpses.  , the suppressed artillery group of the first brigade finally regained its breath and was able to provide artillery support to the forward positions!

    Colonel Wu Xujiang, commander of the first heavy artillery regiment of the brigade and commander of the brigade artillery group, spat out the dirt in his mouth, pulled the gauze covering one eye, and gave a vicious order: "All artillery groups, pay attention, adjust the coordinates,  Immediately launch an interception and artillery attack on the Kwantung Army¡¯s charge formation!¡±

    The heavy artillery, which had been silent for less than three minutes, roared again. Wu Xujiang was a little dizzy. The blood oozing from the wound on his head flowed warmly onto his face. A piece of shrapnel took away a piece of his head.  If the skin and flesh were just a few millimeters off, the gun commander of the 1st Brigade, who commanded hundreds of large-caliber howitzers, would be sacrificed on the battlefield!

    "What a damn unlucky guy. The Japs' shells were so hard that they bit off a piece of flesh. After many years of fighting, this is the first time I've been wounded on the battlefield!" Wu Xujiang muttered, sitting cross-legged in a large crater.  On the side, he took out a cigarette, lit it comfortably, and took a nice puff, until now.  Only then did he feel that his whole body felt uncomfortable as if it was falling apart.  He thought to himself: "My artillery group will definitely suffer this time!"

    The bombing and strafing of the aviation night flight group completely disrupted the Kwantung Army's attack on the Qinglonggou line and the first brigade's blocking position. Subsequently, the freed first brigade artillery group's shells fell again, and the Kwantung Army was even more  The soldiers were so angry that they cried for their fathers and mothers.  Running around with his head in his hands.

    An hour later, the two reinforced self-propelled artillery regiments also rushed to the Qinglonggou front line and joined in the bombardment of the Kwantung Army troops. An hour and a half later, Han Guangqi, commander of the southern mountain blocker force in the Western Manchu Theater and deputy chief of staff of the theater,  .  Four infantry regiments transferred from the left and right wings of the first brigade rushed to the Qinglonggou battlefield. More than two hours later, the four brigades from the theater command to reinforce the southern mountain blocking force arrived at the position, two of them.  It was immediately deployed on the front line of Qinglonggou.

    At this point, three mechanized infantry brigades in the Western Manchu theater, plus four infantry regiments and two heavy artillery regiments, were assembled in the Qinglonggou line, which was the breakthrough direction chosen by the Kwantung Army in Western Manchuria.  The powerful strength and equipment of the three self-propelled artillery regiments formed an insurmountable gap.  Blocked by the Kwantung Army troops who were trying to break out, Lieutenant General Tosa's attempt to tear open the encirclement in the southern part of the Nuruer Tiger Mountain District was completely shattered!

    More than an hour later, the aviation force's night-flying mixed fleet returned after completing its bombing mission. The artillery group of the first brigade also stopped bombarding. There were only sporadic gunshots on the battlefield. After the bomb exploded, the unburned remnants  Fire, craters everywhere, gunpowder smoke that never dissipated, and then there were more than 20,000 Kwantung Army soldiers, mutilated corpses and a strong smell of blood!

    Wang Qingshan returned to the brigade headquarters. The commanders of the two mechanized brigades, the commanders of the four infantry regiments, and the commanders of the two self-propelled artillery regiments who came for reinforcements all rushed here, waiting to receive orders. The 7th Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps  The brigade commander, Major General Hasgetu, was an old comrade with Wang Qingshan. When he saw him coming in, he greeted him with a smile: "Brigadier Wang, we came to support you under the order of the theater command, and we accept your request."  command!"

    Hasgetu saw the bandage on Wang Qingshan's arm at a glance, and said jokingly: "Good guy, you, Old Wang, have become more majestic now. You command nearly 90,000 troops, and you are almost catching up with the commander of the corps! Eh!  ! Lao Wang, you are injured, this is new, when will you, King Tiger, be injured!"

    Normally, Wang Qingshan would have had to joke with Hasgetu, but today he was not in such a mood. He smiled faintly and said: "I, Wang Qingshan, thank you all for coming to support me. Now, everyone will go back to their respective places."  Go with the troops and wait for my order. At the moment, the first brigade has not been lighted yet. When you are needed, I will not be polite. Artillery troops, please report immediately to the commander of the first brigade artillery group, Colonel Wu Xujiang, and wait for him.  The command!"

    Everyone also knows that the battle is not over yet. On the front line of Qinglonggou, there are at least hundreds of thousands of Guandong Army troops. They had no time to chat and left one after another. Before leaving, Hasgetu said to Wang Qingshan: "  Lao Wang, my brigade is right behind you, less than fifteen kilometers away, so don¡¯t hold on!¡±

    The commanders of the reinforcements were all sent away. Wang Qingshan sat down tiredly on the shell box. The brigade chief of staff, Colonel Alsleng, came over. "Chief of Staff, have the casualties of the troops been counted?" he asked with half-closed eyes.  .

      Chief of Staff Als Leng is a Mongolian man who is only forty years old. He usually has a loud voice, but now, his voice is a little hoarse. "Commander, because the battle is not completely over yet, I just made a rough statistics."  , but it¡¯s also shocking!¡±

    Wang Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Chief of Staff, tell me, I am mentally prepared!"

    "Preliminary statistics show that in only about an hour of fighting, the brigade suffered a total of more than 8,000 casualties, of which about 5,000 were killed!" Chief of Staff Alsleng said.

    "What?" Wang Qingshan's head buzzed and he asked eagerly: "Where are the two heavy artillery regiments? What are the casualties and losses?"

    Chief of Staff Alsleng replied: "The situation is even more serious because our artillery group is the key target of the Kwantung Army's artillery suppression. According to the report of Artillery Group Commander Wu, the artillery suffered more than 500 casualties and more than 70 artillery pieces were damaged!"

    "Bang!" Wang Qingshan slammed the shell box hard and said in a hoarse voice: "Chief of Staff, the casualties are heavy. In one hour of fighting, our casualties exceeded one-half, and the artillery lost three-thirds.  More than one, the first brigade is almost disabled! I, Wang Qingshan, have never fought such a losing battle!"

    Chief of Staff Alsleng, with a sad face, suggested: "Brigadier Commander, the casualties of the troops are too high, and the troops on the blocking position are obviously insufficient. Should we transfer three regiments from the reinforcements to supplement the front-line positions?  It is estimated that the Kwantung Army will not give up, and the next attack will begin soon! "

    Wang Qingshan was brave and good at fighting, and liked to fight tough battles, but he was not a show of bravery. He nodded and said: "Okay, Chief of Staff, I will replenish the four infantry regiments that have been transferred from the frontline headquarters to the frontline positions, and the other two  Brigade, stay put!¡±

    In the cave where the headquarters of the Third Army of the Western Manchuria Kwantung Army is located, the commander, Lieutenant General Tosa, leaned silently against the rock, his face pale and his eyes closed. No one knew what the commander was thinking?

    Chief of Staff Major General Akutagawa ran over in panic, "Your Excellency, Commander, I have received a telegram from Lieutenant General Takakura Yuuo, commander of the Fifth Army in the direction of Qinglonggou. Our breakout operation failed! Two divisions were dispatched."  Continuous attacks failed to open the channel, and the independent division dispatched a large number of aircraft. We suffered heavy losses! "

    "Failed!" Lieutenant General Tosa muttered to himself as if dreaming. He instantly aged more than ten years. He didn't even want to ask the reason for the failure. The failure of the desperate breakout operation meant that the hundreds of thousands of people in the encirclement  The Kwantung Army soldiers have no chance of survival anymore, the result is already clear!

    Lieutenant General Tosa smiled miserably and struggled to get up. Several guards came to help him, but he did not refuse. When he walked to the entrance of the cave, the sound of gunfire and gunfire instantly drowned him. The eastern sky had already revealed a hint of fish belly white, but  But it was shrouded in the smoke of war.

    Returning to the cave again, Lieutenant General Tosa said to Chief of Staff Akutagawa: "Mr. Akutagawa, immediately send a telegram to the commander of the Fifth Army, Lieutenant General Takakura. I have decided to transfer the position of supreme commander of the Western Manchuria Kwantung Army to  To Lieutenant General Gao Cang, from now on, all troops must obey the command of Commander Gao Cang!"

    Looking at Chief of Staff Akutagawa, Lieutenant General Tosa continued: "Akutagawa-kun, lead the headquarters and move closer to Qinglonggou immediately. Although the breakout failed, it is not without a chance. Takakura-kun will command the troops and continue the attack!"

    After saying that, Lieutenant General Tosa staggered towards the depths of the cave. "Your Excellency, Commander, you can go with the headquarters! The war situation has not reached an irreversible point yet!" Akutagawa shouted loudly, he already understood.  , Lieutenant General Tosa¡¯s plan.

    The back of Lieutenant General Tosa hesitated for a moment, but then disappeared deep into the cave. Chief of Staff Akutagawa and dozens of officers from the headquarters were poking there like wooden stakes. More than ten minutes later, the captain of the Major Guards of the headquarters,  Walking up to Chief of Staff Akutagawa, he said with a choked voice: "Chief of Staff, Commander Tosa committed suicide by caesarean section in the most honorable way of a Yamato warrior!"

    "The most honorable way?" Chief of Staff Akutagawa repeated sarcastically and angrily, "Did your Excellency, Commander, leave a suicide note?"

    The captain of the Major Guards shook his head silently. Staff Officer Akutagawa sighed and gave the order: "The headquarters will be moved immediately and move closer to the direction of Qinglonggou. As for the body of Commander Tosa, please leave it here, Captain of the Guards. The headquarters will be evacuated later."  , you are responsible for blowing up the cave. Commander Tosa is buried here, and he deserves to die!"

    Chief of Staff Akutagawa led dozens of people from the Third Army Headquarters. As soon as they walked out of the cave, their faces turned ashen when they saw dozens of tanks opening the way in front, followed by a large number of independent division infantry, appearing in front of them!
