Taohua Mountain is a hilly area in northern Hunan. It is named after the peach forest. From ancient times to the present, it has been mostly lingering among literati and poets.

But now this treasure land was occupied by the Japanese army and used as a bridgehead for attacking Changsha, Hunan.

It took the Japanese army more than three months to build permanent and semi-permanent fortifications. Moreover, most of the permanent fortifications hollowed out the mountains and built them in the mountains, like a natural fortress.

Easy to defend but difficult to attack!

At the same time, the geographical location occupied by Taohua Mountain is quite important. It lies directly on the Guangdong-Hankou Railway Line, cutting off the road to the north of **.

Therefore, if you want to enter Hubei, you must take a detour and cross one mountain to another, which will take two more days.

Such an important strategic location is now occupied by the Japanese army, so the party and state authorities are certainly unwilling to accept it.

Therefore, more than two months ago, the 27th Army of the Sichuan Army gathered an army, plus a brigade, with a total of 22,000 troops, and launched an attack on it.

But!

Our Chinese team attacked for a full 9 days, but failed to capture this important military fortress.

Instead, the lives of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers were lost. Even Yang Sen, commander-in-chief of the 27th Army of the Sichuan Army, accidentally caught a stray bullet and almost died there.

The Japanese army at Taohuashan Fortress repelled the attack of our Zhongzhang team again and again, stepped on the bodies of my countless Chinese people, and established the reputation of "copper walls and iron walls" of Taohuashan Fortress!

The Japanese army stationed in Taohuashan Fortress is now the 47th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Report to the corps leader, the Eighth Route Army Dragon Head Detachment has crossed the Xinqiang River and entered the Laohetang area. It is expected that in another 5 hours, we will arrive at my Taohua Mountain Fortress!"

A Japanese correspondent soldier said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese officers and soldiers around him, together with the corps leader Miura Suke, all burst into laughter, with disdain in their expressions.

who are they?

They are one of the most powerful combat-capable corps among the hundreds of Japanese troops.

During this period, a saying has been circulating among Japanese officers and soldiers: "The world's number one Japanese soldiers, and the world's number one Japanese soldiers!"

Among them, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, has been a very famous military source since ancient times. The area is poor and the people are fond of fighting, so men often use joining the army as their way out.

The officers and soldiers of the 47th Japanese Army Regiment came from the Kagoshima area of ​​Kumamoto Prefecture.

Japanese officers and soldiers from this area were born with an innate passion and fighting enthusiasm. At the end of 1942, the wing was transferred to the Pacific region, which made the arrogant Americans suffer all the hardships.

"Yaxi!"

The captain of the regiment, Miurasuke, laughed wildly: "They Eighth Route Army are so brave that they dare to challenge us with a force of only a few thousand people. Since that's the case, we will destroy them all!"

The adjutant followed and said, "All follow the instructions of the regiment captain!"

The Japanese officers around him also agreed!

The team of more than 20,000 people is not afraid, so how could they be afraid of the Eighth Route Army with only a few thousand people?

What's more, the Taohua Mountain Fortress where they are located is built like a copper wall.

The captain of the corps, Miura Suktor, said aloud: "Tell me my order, order all the soldiers of my corps to enter the scheduled combat post immediately. When the Eighth Route Army comes, launch a fierce attack on them immediately!"

"Hi, Mr. Captain!"

Old lotus pond.

Leading team.

The team of thousands of people in my dragon head detachment was moving on the long road, and there was no sight at all. The morale of the soldiers was extremely high.

The military songs that even sang along the way were like "the eldest, the second, and the third".

Some officers and soldiers from a small Japanese army that followed our army were so angry that they saw this.

"Arrogant, so arrogant!"

"They don't take our Japanese Imperial Army seriously at all!"

"Secretary of the Squad, we might as well attack him directly and kill them with arrogance."

Direct attack?

Using a small group of troops to attack the leading detachment?

In an instant, many Japanese soldiers agreed!

They are not fools!

It has always been the tradition of Japanese warfare to attack the large forces of the enemy with a small group of troops.

First, you can test the strength of the enemy;

Second, it can attack the morale of the enemy;

Third, confuse the enemy commander and make him angry, and thus make him lose his original calm.

Although this trick is simple, it is very effective and is a trick that the Japanese army has tried.

"Baga, you idiots!"

Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers received not the approval of the team leader, but a scolding.

The Japanese squad leader was frightened and gritted his teeth and said, "What do you know? I just got the news not long ago that Uedo team, Kuraki team, and Uchiyama team had the same ideas as you, and they put them into action.

But in the end, they were all wiped out by this Chinese team, and only a few people escaped by chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Japanese soldiers around him were shocked in an instant!

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

"The strength of Uedo team, Kuraki team, and Uchiyama team is no less than that of us."

"hateful!"

“It’s incredible that they were destroyed in such a short time!

"It seems that this group of Eighth Route Army is much more difficult to deal with than all the Chinese teams we have encountered!"

For a time, no one of the dozens of Japanese soldiers present dared to make a direct attack.

Direct attack?

What about the donkey kicking in the head?

Didn’t you see that all three elite squads of our army were wiped out?

At this moment, not only did this Japanese squad become honest, but all the small Japanese troops along the Taohua Mountain Fortress were honest.

A Japanese squadron leader said in horror: "The Centre** team with such combat power is no longer something that our little force can shake. The enemy's strength is quite powerful!"

Leading team.

Chen Feng, deputy commander of the 886th Regiment, whispered to the regiment commander Jiang Dayayan: "Captain, our army's powerful display of its strength this time can indeed shock the enemy, but the Japanese Taohua Mountain Fortress is a tough bone, and the strength of our thousands of people is probably difficult to shake."

"That's right!"

Political Commissar Zhang Pujing also frowned and said, "Daya, according to the principle, attacking the enemy's fortress is an unwise choice. At present, I think it is best to use 'showing the enemy' as a weaker', and use the arrogant nature of the 47th Regiment of the Japanese Army to attract it and seek a decisive battle in the wild."

Zhang Pujing's suggestion was now recognized by Deputy Commander Chen Feng.

In the Taohua Mountain Fortress, more than 20,000 people were not attacked. Can our army get things done with just a few thousand people?

The result is obviously impossible!

"Big teeth, you must not act irritably. Now is not the time to show off."

Political Commissar Zhang Pujing spoke bitterly, looking anxious.

The Japanese army’s Taohua Mountain Fortress is a solid wall!

"hehe!"

Jiang Daya burst into laughter, looked at Chen Feng and Zhang Pujing, and said with a smile: "You guys, you underestimate the Japanese devils too much. You are right. We can take advantage of the rampant nature of the 47th Japanese Army Regiment and use strategies to show the enemy to attract them out?"

"But have you overlooked a fact?"

"The Japanese are not fools, how could they be drawn out simply?"

"And the most important thing is that their mission is not to destroy us, but to defend the Taohua Mountain Fortress and guard the bridgehead where they went south to attack Changsha!"

"So, this battle is not easy to use, no matter what you talk about luring the enemy into depth, or what you talk about showing the enemy to be weak!"

The moment the words were finished, political commissar Zhang Pujing and deputy commander Chen Feng all looked extremely serious.

If the Japanese army did not come out, there was a fortress like Taohua Mountain Fortress. How could we fight this kind of battle?

If you attack strongly, there will be many soldiers who will die!

"Captain, can you only be a strong attack now?" Chen Feng said in a deep voice.

"Um!"

Jiang Daya's smiley face suddenly disappeared and said coldly: "Yes, there is only one way to attack. The Japanese are arrogant, so we will be more arrogant than them, a hundred times more arrogant than them!"

"Then use strong firepower to tear all their arrogance into pieces, making them angry, so that we can have the opportunity to seek victory!"
