Seeing the sudden artillery fire in front of him, Harada's heart suddenly rose in his throat, and he was very nervous, fearing that something would go wrong in the next attack.
The brigade commander, Major General Miyazawa, gave him a fatal order to break through the Eighth Route Army's blocking position in one attack.
If something unexpected happens, my impression in his heart will definitely be greatly reduced.
As soon as the first round of artillery shells fired by the artillery company exploded, the counterattack order came out of his mouth: "The artillery squadron will counterattack immediately and destroy the Eighth Route Army artillery positions as quickly as possible..."
"The infantry continues to attack. The Eighth Route Army's blocking position must be captured in one assault. No one can take a step back without my order...kill them..."
Everyone is selfish. For the sake of his own future, Lieutenant Colonel Harada can only continue to increase the pressure and transfer the pressure brought by Major General Miyazawa to his subordinates, layer by layer, so as to have a chance to complete the mission. volcanic literature
Lieutenant Colonel Harada was very fortunate that the sudden artillery attack stopped after only three rounds. The troops who had been frustrated in the attack once again had no worries and continued with unstoppable momentum until they finally entered the Eighth Route Army's blocking position.
But the expected firefight scene did not appear.
The blocking position was empty, not even a bullet casing, let alone the Eighth Route Army...
Lieutenant Commander Harada was like a punch on cotton, feeling aggrieved and helpless.
But no matter what, the offensive mission assigned to him by the brigade commander was finally completed.
He quickly ran back to recover, but Major General Miyazawa didn't give him a good look at all. He opened his mouth and began to curse: "Do you think you are very happy to have won the Eighth Route Army's blocking position... If you really think so, you will be very disappointed... …”
"Two infantry squadrons, an artillery squadron, and a heavy machine gun squadron... five to six hundred people went to attack a company of the Eighth Route Army. As a result, they didn't even touch the Eighth Route Army hair, but they lost a squad..."
"This result is simply a shame for our fourth mixed brigade!"
"Do you really think we captured the blocking position?"
"What a big mistake. I can tell you for sure that the blocking position was deliberately abandoned by the Eighth Route Army!"
"They were worried that the troops would suffer too many casualties under our artillery fire. Not only did they deliberately abandon their positions, they also used artillery fire to kill one of our infantry squads before retreating..."
"The most hateful thing is that we have been fooled. As the commander, you didn't notice anything. You are still here complacent, thinking that you have caused the offensive mission..."
"Idiot, how could I have such a brainless chief of staff like you!"
After scolding, Major General Miyazawa did not forget the serious matter of reinforcing Li Jiapo. As soon as his anger was vented, he began to issue orders: "The troops are in urgent need of advancement. Try to get back the time I just wasted..."
"The military headquarters has just sent a telegram. The Eighth Route Army has stepped up its offensive against the Yamazaki Brigade... and has also dispatched mountain artillery and infantry artillery. The offensive firepower is very powerful. The losses of the Yamazaki Brigade are increasing. It may not be able to hold on for too long. We must kill on time. Rescue them on the battlefield..."
"Battal Commander, our sudden artillery fire attack just now was too severe...it only took about twenty rounds to kill forty or fifty Japs...if every blocking position can kill two infantry squads, wait until the Japs reach Lijiapo , It would be good if only one of the three infantry brigades was left!" Huang Shengli witnessed with his own eyes the scene of the Japanese army being covered by artillery fire. He recorded one Japanese enemy after being blown away by artillery shells. He didn't expect that the battle could be fought like this, and they could be wiped out without spending a single soldier. There were so many Japs, it was an eye-opener for him.
Guan Dashan was not as optimistic as Huang Shengli, and he scolded angrily: "Are you a fool to think that you are a little devil?"
"Every time you learn something, you gain wisdom. No matter how stupid they are, they can't stumble twice on the same problem..."
"But as long as we use our brains more, we can quickly think of ways to deal with them!"
"Take your men and go to the eighth blocking position immediately. It will take the Japanese seven to eight hours at the fastest to kill them!"
"After you arrive, continue to strengthen the fortifications, and you can also modify the fortifications according to your own ideas. As long as you can stop the Japs at the minimum cost and kill as many Japs as possible, you can fight however you want. I will not participate!"
In a valley three kilometers east of Yangquan City, an independent group who had traveled more than ten hours on the mountain road was resting here.
Several soldiers leaned together, holding their guns, and fell asleep on the withered yellow thatch.
Kong Jie was not sleepy at all.
As the leader of an independent regiment and a middle-level cadre of the Eighth Route Army, it has always been common for him to stay up late to command and fight.
In his military career, he had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and it was not a big deal to go without sleep for more than ten hours.
He was guarding the high ground at the entrance to the valley, his eyes always staring at the end of the mountain road, his expression very anxious.
The reconnaissance company and the assault platoon had been out for almost two hours. Yangquan County was only three kilometers away. Logically, they should have crawled back. As a result, the two troops seemed to have disappeared, and they disappeared after leaving the valley.
"Captain, Platoon Leader Huang is very smart. Nothing will happen. Just relax and have a good rest here. I'll keep an eye on it for you. I'll call you as soon as they come back!" Shen Quan knew what Kong Jie was worried about. He looks so confident and comforting! "
Kong Jie shook his head and said: "Until this battle is over, I won't be able to sleep even if you set up a bed here!"
"You go and have a rest... You are the main force in the attack on Yangquan. You must rest well before you can have the energy to fight!"
Ten minutes later, a few figures finally appeared at the end of the mountain road.
Kong Jie took a quick look and found Huang Yu and the reconnaissance company commander.
He raised his legs and ran towards the two of them: "How is the defense of Yangquan County? We are almost certain to capture it!"
"The security in the county is very tight! The entire Yangquan has been blocked and no one is allowed to enter or exit!" the investigation company commander replied.
"Platoon Leader Huang originally wanted to go into the city to have a look, but gave up the idea of entering the city halfway through the investigation!"
"The Japanese who stayed behind in Yangquan and most of the puppet troops are on top of the city!"
"There are more than thirty Japanese soldiers and two companies of puppet troops in each direction. There are at most two companies of puppet soldiers and a dozen Japanese soldiers left in the city!"
"As long as we quickly break through Yangquan City's defenses, open a gap, and advance into the county...the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the city are no match for us!"
"What do you think?" Kong Jie turned his attention to Huang Yu.
"The general idea is similar to that of Captain Li!" Huang Yu said.
"I'll add one more thing... When attacking a city, in addition to the main direction of attack, there must also be troops launching feint attacks from the other three directions..."
"Drag all the Japanese and puppet troops from the other three directions on top of the city!"
"After the troops in the main attack direction entered the county town, they were immediately divided into four..."
"The three troops attacked in the other three directions of the county town respectively, and cooperated with the feint attack troops to attack from inside and outside, to eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops on the top of the city, and prevent them from entering the city to cause trouble, which is difficult to eliminate!"
"The fourth unit went straight to the Japanese brigade headquarters and captured the arsenal and ammunition depot in the city with lightning speed. Guard him!"
"After wiping out all the Japanese and puppet troops on top of the city, the troops will then enter the city to eliminate the remaining enemies and completely capture Yangquan County!"
Huang Yu considered the issue very comprehensively, and Kong Jie decided to accept it directly after thinking about it for a while. He turned around and began to give orders: "Inform all battalion and company commanders to come here for a meeting... and also call the infantry artillery platoon commander."
Although Major General Miyazawa, the commander of the Japanese Army's Fourth Mixed Brigade Headquarters, was on a mission, the lights were still bright when it got dark! "
Noda's war room was empty, except for the little Japanese military police squadron leader and the puppet army commander.
For the past ten hours, the two of them had been staying here, nervous, fearing that Yangquan would be attacked.
As a result, after waiting for so long, not even a shadow of the Eighth Route Army was seen around the county town.
The two of them gradually became more relaxed. The commander of the puppet army personally arranged a banquet, and they had a great time eating and drinking at the headquarters with the commander of the military police squadron.
The Yangquan County Arsenal is also the ammunition depot of the Japanese Fourth Mixed Brigade. It stores the Fourth Brigade’s combat supplies for half a year. There are more than three million rounds of various bullets, as well as thousands of artillery shells and 20,000 shells. Multiple grenades, thousands of grenade-specific grenades...
Before Major General Miyazawa sent troops to reinforce Li Jiapo, he had always regarded this place as a treasure, and a reinforcement team was stationed there. Without his order, no one could come within fifty meters of the arsenal, otherwise they would be killed without mercy and their death would be in vain.
After the Fourth Mixed Brigade attacked, the troops defending the arsenal followed suit...
The defensive task can only be handed over to a detachment of military police and a platoon of puppet troops.
A few hours ago, the gendarmerie squadron leader used the lack of troops as an excuse to transfer all the Japanese soldiers defending the arsenal, leaving only one platoon of the Imperial Army.
After dark, the temperature began to drop. The puppet troops defending the arsenal were all shivering from the cold and huddled in the corners of the bunkers to avoid the wind and keep warm.
The Japanese and puppet troops above the city were even more miserable.
It was extremely cold at high places, and the whistling north wind blew on their faces like knives, making their cheeks turn red from the cold.
Most of the soldiers hid in the corners of the city wall to avoid the wind and keep warm. A few puppet soldiers who had to stand guard stamped their feet in the cold.
The more responsible puppet soldiers would look outside the city from time to time.
The irresponsible puppet soldiers wanted to hide their heads in their military uniforms without even looking outside the city.
In the south of Yangquan City, more than 100 soldiers from the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment were following the Tang soldiers as they slowly approached the city.
The whistling north wind completely covered up the sound of their footsteps, and the troops were not exposed until they reached 200 meters outside the city.
Four machine gun teams and two grenade teams each found their positions and quietly set up their weapons.
The rifleman squatted on the ground, rifle in hand. Aim at the top of the city and wait for the order to fire...
Three signal bombs suddenly flew into the sky in a beautiful arc, and suddenly exploded when they reached the highest point, flashing three dazzling white lights in the sky...
"Start the attack..." Tang Bing, the commander of the fifth company, ordered at the same time.
"Da da da... bang bang... bang bang..."
Grenades and rifles join the battle at the same time.
Under the cover of night, the flames ejected from the light machine guns were particularly dazzling. The bullets wrapped in flames whizzed towards the city, intertwining into a relatively dense firepower network.
Several puppet army guard posts standing at the entrance to the battlements were instantly beaten into pieces, without even a chance to squat down...
From the north of the city, to the west of the city, to the east of the city... the sounds of intense firefights were heard at the same time.
At the Japanese brigade headquarters, the military police squadron leader was drunk and fell asleep on the table.
As soon as the gunshot rang out, the whole person felt as if he had drunk sober soup. He instantly became sober. He stood up from the wine table and ran to the war room...
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run. Only in this way can you survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo ho, ho ho!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.

Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and search me for me."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, five scout flags, a kettle, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.

Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
