Hutto Underground Fortress Command Site

The Soviets spent a whole day on the 12th to consolidate their positions and set up an artillery observation base, which provided precise guidance for the 224th Powerful Howitzer Fortress.

The engineers ignited the petrol in the vents, causing the Japanese troops who died in suffocation to flee to the ground, while the tanks broke into the artillery positions and simultaneously killed. The Japanese army of the Hutto Fortress is already alive.

The Japanese squad on the Linjiang stage was defeated. On August 13, they repeatedly failed in the counterattack. Finally, a 22-year-old trainee officer rushed to the Soviet army alone to meet him with an ice-collapse grenade.

The next one to meet the offense is the 103 Highlands. After the heavy rain on August 14, the Soviets began to eat and breakthrough. They charged the 150mm cannon position but damaged the grenades and direct violent attacks.

In the evening, about 15 tanks appeared north of the 103 highlands and bombarded for about an hour at the main entrance to the Sese, but the 85mm high-explosive bomb did not cause damage to the concrete wall up to three meters thick. They retreat and retreat.

On August 16th, in the downpour, the battle around the central highlands was nearing its end, and westward, about 30 Soviet tanks attacked the 145 highlands where the 2nd Squadron of the Infantry was stationed. The 180 Japanese troops were recalcitrant under a lieutenant. 130 of them were infantry and the rest were responsible for the operation of the outdated 37mm anti-tank gun.

The outcome was terrible. When the Soviet investigators arrived, at least 100 bodies were scattered, and their deaths only reduced the fall of other areas.

The end of the tiger's fortress

After August 16th, Soviet engineers and infantry were on the ground, and the Japanese were in the tunnel. They have no plans to surrender.

The 4th Squadron of the Infantry was located at the northernmost corner of the fortress, and the fortifications of the solid glutinous soup fell within a day. The point of the 2nd Squadron of the Artillery Corps was also faltering. There were only 75 Japanese troops left on the 17th. The remaining troops must break out from the main fortifications, but most of them were captured or defeated.

At about 22 o'clock on August 17, the Soviets extended the general attack under the cover of powerful artillery. The attack lasted until the dawn of the 18th - the 255th Infantry Battalion (subordinate to the 109th fortification area) attempted to enter the underground, while the Japanese used flat shots. To avoid the increase in casualties, Colonel Varvin ordered the withdrawal of the Ministry.

Under the bombardment of heavy artillery shells, the concrete roof collapsed and collapsed, and the access channel became a small lake. The downpour of heavy rain rushed through the crater.

The battle victory has been fixed, Damu Daxie has died in the melee, the command is attributed to the non-commissioned officer, but the non-commissioned officer is more stubborn and stubborn. On the morning of the 19th, when the attacker approached, the explosion of the Japanese "self-determination" sounded, but some people broke into it. Deep in Seyse, relying on sewage and dry bread and stealing.

The Soviets began to converge on the body, and the other party’s ammunition was warned to reduce, and the war was over, and the storm could only increase its reduced losses. However, they did not forget to set up machine guns on the road to be through. In the Japanese army of the Japanese, there was only one person who escaped and escaped.

The battle to clear the tunnel continued for two days. On the 23rd, only Huxiaoshan (145 Highland) was under the control of the Japanese.

Finally, at the dawn of August 26, the end of the tiger's fortress is aligned. Twenty heavy mortars, 10 heavy-duty howitzers, and 1,000 infantry constitute a huge offensive, and only one door anti-tank shells, and a few machine guns and 60 Japanese soldiers who describe the desolation.

The Japanese soldier Okazaki Tetsuo stood guard in a place away from the hill. Suddenly, the huge sound shook the valley, and the dust on the Tiger Hill was flying. This is the attack on the tiger head. The traffic jam has been buried by gunfire.

The gunshots around the top of the mountain were loud, but it didn't take long before the sporadic shot of the 38-type rifle was just overwhelmed by the rush.

Many strange soldiers appeared. They put one package after another into the trolley and pushed it to the entrance of the stopper. Above the passage where the car roof is at the end, the end of the tunnel is sliding.

A curtain that occurred three seconds later was stunned by the superiors, because there was an explosion inside the fortress, and even the air in the atmosphere was as sharp as a stone. It was only later that he realized that the car was completely fierce—the Soviet army’s goal was very clear, that is, the fortress was razed to the ground.

This method has achieved immediate results. The underground fortress has ignited a large fire, and the smoke from the watershed is squirting. The new round of more violent explosion brings glare and glare, and the soldiers are shattered. blindness. In the sound of explosions, Huxiaoshan exposed a bright red mountain.

At this time, at 3:30 pm on August 26, 1945, the main battle of the Second World War ended here.
