The Japanese commander ran fast, but unfortunately he still didn't have Wen Gu's cannon speed. He hadn't even reached the position yet.
The independent regiment's artillery bombardment began, and 18 120mm howitzers smashed the Japanese position to pieces with a single salvo.
The Japanese captain was blown away by the blast of air before he reached his position.
On the artillery position, Wen Gu and his sister constantly adjusted the parameters to keep the artillery fire extending. One shot from the 120mm howitzer created a crater more than ten meters wide.
The Japs within 20 meters of the surrounding area were directly blown to death, and the Japs further away were directly shocked to death by the terrifying vibrations.
The attacking Japanese brigade heard the explosion outside the city, immediately stopped attacking and began to rush out of the city.
The 34th Division headquarters is in a basement in the east of Li County. Ding Heng is answering the phone.
"Commander, it's too late to say anything now. I, Ding Dasha, will fight the Japanese to the death in Li County this time."
"Ding Dasha, listen to me. The Eighth Route Army and the Death Column are going to rescue you. You must hold on."
Yan Laosuan's words did not give Ding Heng any comfort. This was a Japanese brigade, and it was an elite brigade equipped with heavy artillery.
In the Battle of Yangqu, the Japanese Brigade could continue to attack after directly killing tens of thousands of Jin soldiers. This shows how powerful the Japanese Brigade is.
What role can the Eighth Route Army and the Death Column play?
At this time, the basement began to shake again. Ding Heng knew that the Japanese shelling had begun again.
He hung up the phone and yelled:
"Signal soldier, go out and take a look. Not long after the Japanese shelled, why did it start again?
It’s not over anymore! If I still have troops in hand, I must blow up the Japanese artillery positions! "
Before the communications soldiers went out, Yu Bin came in with a dusty face and a bandage on his arm. He was the only one of the three regiment commanders who was still alive.
"Old Yu, are you injured too?" Ding Heng asked with concern.
"Master, don't worry. I was bitten by the Japs 38. It's not a big problem. Both Lao Fang and Lao Xuke have already..."
Yu Bin didn't say any more.
"Don't say anything, Lao Yu, they just took the first step, and we will go there sooner or later.
You just came back from outside. Why did the Japanese start shelling again? The time is wrong, right? "
"Master, I came back to tell you that this bombardment did not fall on the city, but directly blew up the Japanese positions outside the city.
I guess someone robbed the Japanese artillery position and used Japanese artillery to hit the Japanese. "
As Yu Bin said this, the figures of the Wen Gu brothers and sisters appeared in his mind. If anyone really has this ability, it might be them.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Japanese Artillery Regiment has more than 2,600 people. Which army around Li County can have this ability?"
Ding Heng racked his brains and thought for a long time, but he really couldn't think of anything.
"Master, don't worry about which army it is. Now is the best time for us to fight back.
You give the order, and I will lead the people to drive the Japanese out of the city immediately. As long as we wait until night, we will have more opportunities. "
Ding Heng thought the same and immediately gave the order to counterattack. Unfortunately, when Yu Bin was ready to die in battle and rushed over with the death squad, he discovered that the Japanese had retreated.
The independent regiment's artillery fire lasted for half an hour before it stopped. By this time, the first and second battalions had already arrived at the predetermined position.
Fan Derbiao saw the Japanese positions in the distance that were blasted with large craters by artillery shells. For the first time, he felt that the battle was enjoyable.
"The bugler blows the charge horn, all charge!"
Zhang Chenggong grabbed Fan Debiao and said, "First battalion commander, the regimental commander told you not to be too impulsive!"
Fan Debiao pointed at the Japs' position and said, "Second Battalion Commander, look at it, the Japs didn't expect to be bombarded at all, and they didn't make any preparations for artillery fire.
After half an hour of shelling, do you see how the Japanese were beaten? "
Zhang Chenggong saw that everything from the Japanese position to the west gate had been plowed by artillery shells, and there were corpses of Japanese everywhere.
Some of the recruits looked at them from a distance and already vomited out. The Japanese were really miserable.
Zhang Chenggong felt fierce in his heart, "The bugler blows the charge horn and everyone charges!"
The exciting charge horn sounded, and more than 2,600 people from the two battalions rushed out, shouting in unison.
The entire Japanese regiment was completely defeated by the artillery attack on the Wen Gu brothers and sisters, and could not organize a large-scale counterattack at all.
In addition, the troops of the 34th Division also rushed out when they saw the fighting outside the city. When they cooperated inside and outside, the Japanese regiment that was stunned by the shells was directly annihilated.
The battle was already over when Wen Su arrived. He was not as fast as his two children.
Especially now that it is a battlefield, it is even more impossible to operate without a large force.
Ding Heng held Wen Su's hand with tears in his eyes. He really didn't know what to say.
He started this battle with the determination to die, but who knew that the Eighth Route Army he looked down on actually saved him.
Wen Su looked at Ding Heng's look and felt in his heart, "Commander Ding, the battle is not over yet. The Japanese still have a regiment fighting against the Eighth Route Army and the Death Column. Let's get there quickly."
Ding Heng nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Commander Wen is right. I am confused. Yu Bin, take your troops and follow Commander Wen there immediately. Remember, Commander Wen is in charge this time."
The two Japanese soldiers who were watching also discovered that the brigade headquarters had lost contact, so they began to increase the intensity of their attack.
At the temporary headquarters of the New Regiment, Kong Jie held a pipe without a trace of smoke and listened to the sound of gunfire outside and said to Li Yunhu:
"Old Li, something is wrong. The Japs' attack suddenly intensified. What do they want to do?"
Li Yunhu, who was also a Zhang Er monk, was confused and said, "Damn it, the devils are just trying to prevent us from entering Li County. They shouldn't be so violent.
Why did he suddenly increase the intensity of his attack? This posture is like a breakout... "
Li Yunhu seemed to have thought of something, slapped his thigh and said decisively,
"Lao Kong, the Japanese are trying to escape!"
"You want to run? Where are you going? Why are you running?" Kong Jie asked Li Yunhu three times.
“Lao Kong, you’re just going to direct the battle like this and rely on asking questions for everything?
If I knew why the Japanese ran away and were still here, I would have become the brigade commander! "
Kong Jie suddenly laughed, "Li Yunhu, you are such a bitch that you really dare to think that you want to be a brigade commander with more than 1,000 people in your hands.
If you have 2,000 or 3,000 people, you dare to want to be a teacher! "
Li Yunhu saw through Kong Jie's thoughts and became angry, "Go, go, go, let's play, Lao Kong, let me tell you, no matter what the Japanese think,
Anyway, they cannot be allowed to pass through our area. I will immediately arrange for someone to contact the Death Column and let them pay attention.
There must be something happening on the battlefield that we don't know about. Just one thing right now, just hold it back for now.
Even if he wants to do longevity, he can't even think about opening a gap from us! "
