In May 1944, ten expeditionary main forces of Chinese overshoot after angry river, the loose hill that sides with Yunnan respectively, Teng Chong and dragon hill 3 ground set out. In June the last ten-day of a month, the 71st army make up the hassle of Japanese defending troops on the 28th Shi Yusong hill newly many days 20, also fail to be taken, and casualties is very big. A division calls damage almost, it is battle hard.
China is expeditionary army bate of commander-in-chief Wei Lihuang, remove them, changed the 8th army, he Shaozhou of deadline army commander attacks Ke Songshan.
But He Shaozhou is atttacked for many times, still hit no less than coming.
Result, jiang Jieshi also comes order sb to do sth within a certain time, be restricted He Shaozhou in September recover of the first ten days of a month loosens hill, army with bungle otherwise machine punish. This makes He Shaozhou so urgent that headache unceasingly, hold at hand general then urgent discuss capture loose hill plans. Discuss through, the decision directs the 82nd division with Wang Jingyuan of deputy division commander of the 82nd division summit of loose summit of 246 groups and attack and seize of battalion of military headquarters engineer.
After Wang Jingyuan recieves orders, a few times attack also did not succeed. Denounce after many business, the decision rises from September 1, it is with small unit by the 246th group all round loose summit summit undertake to the Japanese army faze is raided, the military camp that take work works to fosse -- the tunnel is dug below the vertical plane of position of loose hill Japanese army.
What to dig a tunnel to do? Dig an earth hole, go in dynamite outfit, drop summit bomb.
This plan report gives military headquarters, he Shaozhou applauds successively: "Good idea, good idea, absolutely good method! Absolutely good method!!
Subsequently his attune comes hundreds of engineer, give Wang Jingyuan.
Wang Jingyuan says: "Tunnel choosing is in leave the half way up the mountain that peak is in 30 meters, therefrom begins to dig into, make two dynamite room finally. Make two dynamite room finally..
For the Japanese army discovery that is not gotten on by hill, engineer chooses tunnel entrance in be apart from the summit hundreds of Mi Yuan. For no risk at all, dig two tunnels at the same time, a failure uses another, two go, install dynamite together. After start working, engineer was taken out spell interest, keep digging day and night.
Go to more in dig, the biggest question came: How dig tunnel to peak devil foothold fitly below. From the hundreds of excavate outside rice, a bit one-sided, leave peak possibly far, had dug low, scamper wants to drop the summit in underground, ammo blast does not leave, dig tall, dig devil foothold extremely possibly inside, once be discovered, fail to build a mound for want of one final basket of earth-fall short of success for lack of a final effort.
Wang Jingyuan feels true is a big question. Result, he Shaozhou passes ministry of official of expeditionary army commander to borrow a batch to measure equipment to U.S. Army respect, wait like accurate compass, still took a few relatively economic mining tools. praise, via the tough effort of period of time, in the 246th group swashbuckling covering below, engineer people dug booked terminus eventually.
Engineer battalion commander personally after reconnaissance, definite place is right, it is a center with this again, scrape is crisscross small sap, build ammo room.
Two sap were not discovered by the Japanese army. After scrape of two ammoes room, whole sap exercise is accused eventually finished. It is the yellow two lorries next spirited dynamite, fill in respectively crossed sap 4 corners. Engineer people use the means of relay to carry explosive, had piled up, prepare device fuse next. Battalion commander says: "This work cannot do sth for sb by the soldier, just must be carried out by Bao Zhi. Just must be carried out by Bao Zhi..
Who is Bao Zhicai? Had sufferred major to blow up the military school of training is unripe. Bao Zhicai assembles fuse after buy, receive electrify line, receive again on by dynamo of U.S. Army borrowed. On August 19, all jobs complete work. Battalion commander says to report of king deputy division commander: "Preparative work is finished entirely, wait for the period of the day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. only 3 engraved. Wait for the period of the day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. only 3 engraved..
"Good! Not be afraid that devil neck is thick this! " Wang Jingyuan says.
20 days morning, loose hill battlefield is quiet all the more.
He Shaozhou army commander blows up personally.
9 when whole, silent. Time arrived, he Jun is long give orders: "Detonate! " engineer battalion battalion commander personally pushbutton, receive electrify to flow, "Rumble -- " blare, hill shakes quake, the clay of whole hilltop carry secretly of loose summit summit and hundreds of Japanese armies fly to the sky, dust my sky, the summit is lifted completely.
The cheers resound like rolls of thunder on battlefield.
Flying Apsaras dust has not fall, the dogface rush up in a crowd of assault. At this moment, whole summit was become by scamper two funnel hole. After dogface rushs forward, large hole diameter is amounted to 30 to 40 meters big, deep 15 meters, in seeing rubble piles only, all over the Japanese army with lying hill, do not have completely traumatic, it is be killed by strong shock shake. Outside be about to die to moan on the ground except 4 people, the others was finished entirely.
Loose hill eventually by recover.
Afterwar, the broadcast inside Japan calls the more than 1000 Japanese armies in loose hill battle " complete a die in the last ditch " . He Shaozhou says: "In fighting this, the dogface that holds the position of attack did not bleed, the Japanese army of fielding did not bleed, dig the engineer that fights to also did not bleed; It is hundreds of engineer officers and soldiers only in tunnel midstream the sweat of two months. So, this is battle of a bloodless, it may be said is engineer ' sweat is overcome ' loose hill. It may be said is engineer ' sweat is overcome ' loose hill..
After loose hill recapture, long Ling, Teng Chong in succession recover.
