9:17.
The Third Battalion of the Sichuan Army has been fully committed to the battlefield, and more than half of the first defense position has fallen into the hands of the Third Battalion. On the river, there are many kayaks and rafts going back and forth.
They were soldiers from the baggage battalion, delivering ammunition supplies to the third battalion fighting bloody battles in the front, and sending injured soldiers off the battlefield.
The artillery battalion continued to suppress the second and third lines of defense of the Japanese army, but the frequency of shelling was gradually decreasing. After all, even an iron man would not be able to stand the high-intensity shooting, not to mention that the gun barrel also needed to be cooled down.
In the past 30 minutes, the artillery battalion opened fire and poured more than 1,000 artillery shells on the west bank, which directly stunned the little devils. It was difficult for their infantry artillery to launch a counterattack under this intensive artillery fire.
Krupp was now playing a very sneaky role in the coordination of infantry and artillery. When the second echelon launched the attack, he quickly adjusted the angle to extend the artillery fire to the rear section of the Japanese first defense, hitting the machine gun fire points in the rear to provide cover.
When the third battalion entered the first defense position, he extended the artillery fire again and added smoke bombs. The firepower directly covered the entire second and third defense lines, suppressing the Japanese support and making it impossible for the opponent's artillery to fight back.
Krupp controlled the firepower very well, and the security control was also in place. Even Liao Mingyu couldn't help but applaud him.
This also allows the third battalion attacking the first defense to easily and quickly break through the enemy's position, minimizing their own losses.
The first defense position was still being contested. Takeuchi Renshan took advantage of the fatigue of the Sichuan regiment's artillery fire and let his eight field guns on the reverse slope begin to fight back. However, the artillery positions of both sides were arranged very far back, and there was nothing anyone could do for the time being. who.
Chen Jize gave full play to his firepower advantage and used powerful firepower to eliminate the enemies in front of him immediately, never giving them a chance to fight with bayonets.
Liao Mingyu reminded him that in order to maintain their position, the Japanese would probably attack regardless of the enemy or ourselves, so they must not get entangled with them.
In this kind of close combat in the trenches, shotguns and submachine guns dominate the world. Coupled with all semi-automatic Garands and numerous mg3s, it is almost impossible for the Japanese army to take advantage.
Chen Jize played very steadily, and could even be said to be very wretched. He ordered the soldiers to advance steadily, occupy a trench and destroy the surrounding corridors. When encountering a fortress, be sure not to rush into it, waiting for the bazooka and flamethrower to come over and start a charade.
The Japanese troops were bombarded with artillery shells and hid in their trench fortifications. The Japanese troops launched a charge and used powerful firepower to repel them.
In short, it's just one sentence, never rush you, take your time. Make the most of your own equipment advantages in order to minimize losses.
Anyway, the leader's request is just to hold on to the first defensive position. Why are you so anxious? Just fight trench by trench.
Takeuchi is still sending troops here, and the defensive positions have changed hands in just half an hour. This is too fast. Although the first line of defense is not too important, this is not how battles are fought!
Chen Jize switched from attack to defense as planned. With the support of more than twenty mortars from the rear and heavy artillery on the east coast, it should not be difficult to defend this place.
But Liao Mingyu, who was on the flag-offering slope, frowned. Although the current battle situation favored the Sichuan Army, he knew very well that the third battalion only had the advantage of a sneak attack. Takeuchi did not use all his strength at all. He wanted to induce the third battalion to continue the attack.
If Takeuchi discovers the intention of the Sichuan Army and presses on all fronts, Chen Jize and others will be in danger.
Now Liao Mingyu has arranged the fourth battalion by the river. If the situation is not optimistic, he will immediately ask A Yi to lead people across the river to provide support.
There was no way, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, so we had to wait for the results from Long Wenwen and Yu Xiaoqing's final decision.
"Report to the regimental commander, the artillery battalion reported that the gun barrels need to be cooled, and they will temporarily stop the bombardment." The communications soldier quickly ran over and reported.
"I understand. Name the artillery battalion's next wave of attacks and replace the artillery shells with white phosphorus bombs to continue suppressing the secondary defense." Liao Mingyu ordered.
"yes."
"Is there no response from Yu Xiaoqing?"
"Master Yu said that there is a problem in the army and they are trying to solve it." The communications soldier replied.
something is wrong? I'm afraid that Tang Ji was swayed by him, it's really as expected.
Liao Mingyu sneered and asked: "How is the situation with Staff Fang? Have everything been arranged?"
"Go back to the regimental commander. Staff Officer Fang has already arranged the arrangements. Most of the guard battalion is over there."
Liao Mingyu nodded and turned back to look at the river bank. The majestic fog had begun to dissipate. Unlike the bustling west bank, the launch line Jiang Defense, which was supposed to be the key offensive end, was unusually quiet.
"Let's go."
After saying that, Liao Mingyu walked out, and Ding Xiaoer beside him hurriedly followed: "Captain, where are we going?"
"Let's go to Yu Xiaoqing's side. There's a good show waiting for us."
…
"What's going on!? Why didn't the three main regiments respond? What about the artillery battalion, are their artillery tubes blocked? Why haven't they fired yet!"
At this time, Yu Xiaoqing was like an angry lion, roaring continuously.
As early as when Liao Mingyu sent the attack signal, he issued orders to all the troops, but those orders seemed to sink into the sea without any response.
"Master, I just received a call back from Commander Zhang. All the company and battalion commanders of the first main regiment have been transferred. He asked if the same situation has occurred in other troops?" The liaison soldier reported to Yu Xiaoqing as soon as he received the news.
"What! Who gave the order?"
"It's the order from Deputy Master Tang," the liaison soldier said.
"Tang Ji!" Yu Xiaoqing yelled through gritted teeth, "Where is Hai Zhengchong? Take me to find him immediately!"
"Hai...Chief of Staff should be in the Second Regiment." Looking at Yu Xiaoqing who looked like he was about to eat someone, the liaison soldier said timidly.
"Prepare the car!"
The two armies were facing each other and a war was imminent. As a result, one after another problems occurred in their own team, and even the officers were transferred. Is this still an army capable of fighting?
Yu Xiaoqing even had the intention of killing people, and he arrived at the position of the second main group as quickly as possible.
Hai Zhengchong and Yu Dazhi reported that they were ready 20 minutes ago, but now there is no news. Could it be that they were also taken away by Tang Ji?
"What does this bastard Hai Zhengchong do for food? Why haven't you attacked yet!"
As soon as he entered the Second Regiment's station, Yu Xiaoqing couldn't help but curse loudly. The soldiers of the Second Regiment looked at each other and had no idea what was going on.
"Reporting to the commander, Chief of Naval Staff was summoned away by Deputy Commander Tang." A soldier reported loudly.
"Tang... Damn it! Where's Yu Dazhi, tell him to come out to see me!" Yu Xiaoqing cursed angrily.
"I was also called away..." Xiao Bing replied awkwardly.
Yu Xiaoqing gritted his teeth, walked back and forth twice to suppress the anger in his heart, and then shouted sternly to the group of soldiers in front of him:
"Hai Zhengchong and Yu Dazhi have been removed from their posts and investigated. The deputy regiment commander takes command. The battalion commanders of each battalion will obey the order immediately!"
"They were all called in, along with various deputy officers." A company commander in the team said to him calmly.
"Tang Ji, you bastard!"
Yu Xiaoqing walked over angrily. Just as he was about to grab the company commander's collar and question him, Li Bing ran up to stop him and said:
"Teacher, he doesn't know about it, but there is something else about you, that..."
"Speak louder! I don't need to lie to my brothers to go to war." Seeing his hesitation, Yu Xiaoqing became very angry.
"The military headquarters has transferred all the baggage trucks, saying they are urgently needed in the neighboring defense area." Li Bing returned with his head lowered.
Yu Xiaoqing looked at him in disbelief. As a teacher, he didn't know about this kind of thing for the first time.
"He Shuguang, with the guard camp, saw Tang Ji and killed him without mercy!"
"Yes!" He Shuguang immediately accepted the order and walked out with the gun in hand.
"Assistant Master Tang's car has been driving for a while. He said he was going to the military headquarters..." Li Bing said suddenly next to him.
Yu Xiaoqing was completely angered. He suddenly kicked Li Bing to the ground: "Why didn't you report it earlier!? Is your division commander's surname Tang or Yu?"
Even He Shuguang looked down on Li Bing's actions. They had followed Yu Xiaoqing since they were students. After so many years of relationship, they didn't expect that Li Bing's elbows would turn outwards.
Your last name is "Yu"...
At this moment, Liao Mingyu's words suddenly appeared in Yu Xiaoqing's heart.
It turned out that he had expected this to happen, and he was really stupid. A dignified teacher was so easily ignored, and even the so-called confidants around him were alienated from him.
After preparing for the attack for more than half a year, they saw the final kick, but were torn apart by Tang Ji in just half an hour. You can imagine Yu Xiaoqing's sadness and unwillingness.
"I will direct the crossing of the river. The company commanders must gather and listen to my orders!" Yu Xiaoqing shouted loudly. How could he be willing to give up when he has come to this point?
"Master, our people had no backup at all in the past. The attack stopped immediately... Commander Yu had already spread this order to everyone when he left. If you let us pass now, you are risking death." The company commander said. Preaching to him expressionlessly.
"Then you go die!" Yu Xiaoqing angrily took out a pistol and put it on the company commander's head: "If you disobey orders, you will never be redeemed by death!"
"Master, it doesn't matter if I die, but I don't want my brothers to lose their lives in vain. Now I am the only company commander left in the whole regiment. The others have been transferred away by Deputy Master Tang. The army has no choice at all. Launch an attack." The company commander reluctantly stated the facts to Yu Xiaoqing.
Yu Xiaoqing slowly put down his pistol, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom. Tang Ji did it too hard. He only left a company commander in the second regiment to manage the soldiers. No one knew where he had transferred the others. .
Except for his own guard battalion and spy battalion, the situation of several other regiments is probably the same, but that old bastard is hiding and not daring to come out at the moment.
"Master's seat, there's an urgent call from the military headquarters." At this time, the liaison soldier suddenly reported.
"Is it Junzuo or Tangji?" Yu Xiaoqing asked helplessly, closing her eyes.
"It's your father."
"What?" Yu Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, and finally said with an angry smile: "Haha, I have already forced my hand to die with a gun, and I still want twelve gold medals? What a good father I am!"
…
At the same time, a convoy was driving fast on the road at the foot of Henlan Mountain, and Tang Ji was sitting on the jeep enjoying the wind leisurely.
After all, he is too young. His mind is full of unrealistic ideas. Is it so easy to fight? He only does things impulsively.
Still attacking? I've transferred all the officers. Let's see what you attack with?
The few jeeps and trucks behind were filled with officers from various units of the Yu Division. Starting from the company commander, almost everyone was called over by Tang Ji. It is said that the military headquarters has an order, and all the officers of the Yu division will go to the meeting immediately. No matter whether you are happy or not, you can get in the car first and then talk about it.
However, Tang Ji would not really take all of them to the military headquarters. He would just take a casual walk around avoiding Yu Xiaoqing. After this time, the eldest nephew was unable to save himself.
Hai Zhengchong, who was sitting in the second car, sighed slightly. He had long understood that Master Yu was not as monolithic as he seemed on the surface. In the final analysis, Master Yu was just a rebellious young man, and the one behind him was actually in charge. An old man.
What can he do about this kind of thing? In addition to obeying orders, he also has to consider his own future. Let them fight over the bullshit of this big family.
Just as he was thinking wildly, the car in the front suddenly stopped, and the team behind him was also forced to step on the brakes.
"what happened?"
Tang Ji got out of the car, and there was a checkpoint in front of him. Dozens of soldiers with guns and live ammunition were staring at them eagerly.
A middle-aged major officer walked towards him slowly: "Sorry, everyone, you can't go through."
"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?" Tang Ji asked with an evil look on his face.
"This is the Sichuan Army Guard Camp. There are special military operations ahead. For safety reasons, we cannot let you pass."
This major officer is none other than Fang Jingyao! Liao Mingyu had long expected that Tang Ji would cause trouble. After all, he had already done this in the original time and space.
So he ordered Fang Jingyao and Zhang Liu early to wait on the road in advance with two groups of people, in order to stop this old boy.
There are only two roads out of Chanda. Tang Ji led a large group of people and had to hide from Yu Xiaoqing. They would definitely drive out, but unexpectedly, the Sichuan Army had already been waiting here.
"Aren't you fighting on the riverside? How did the military operation end up here?" Tang Ji vaguely felt that something was wrong and wondered what kind of medicine Liao Mingyu was selling in the gourd.
"I don't need you to worry about it. Anyway, this road can't be crossed now." Fang Jingyao said nonchalantly.
"Blinding your eyes! Do you know how many officers are on these vehicles? A major dares to stop here. It will delay the military situation and shoot you ten times. It's not enough! Get out of my way!" Another officer in the convoy was arrogant. The ground scolded.
"Haha, sir, don't embarrass me. I'm just following orders. If you have any problems, you can report it to my captain. However, you won't be able to get through before I receive the release order. As for anyone who wants to force his way in... that's fine. Try it!”
Fang Jingyao's words suddenly became extremely sharp. The more than fifty soldiers behind him raised their guns one after another. The two machine gunners on the sandbags behind them even opened the bolts of their guns, pointing the black muzzles at Tang Ji. et al.
"Haha, brothers, please be patient. Since there is action ahead, we are just doing this. We will go back now."
It's not pleasant to be pointed at by dozens of people with guns. Tang Ji has realized that this matter was deliberately targeted by Liao Mingyu. A good man doesn't want to suffer the immediate consequences, so he simply surrenders and leaves first.
"Thank you for your understanding, sir, but... there is suddenly a military operation later, so you can't go back." Fang Jingyao said slowly.
Too damn deceiving!
Even an old fox like Tang Ji, who can't express his emotions or anger, is angry. If you can't go forward, you can't go back. If you want to deceive people, can't you just say it?
"Humph, don't go too far. This place is not decided by your Sichuan Legion family!"
Fang Jingyao sneered, and as he raised his hand slightly, hundreds of fully armed Sichuan Army soldiers suddenly emerged from the woods on both sides.
"Don't move!"
"Put down the gun!"
"Hands up!"
…
"Now, does my word count?" Fang Jingyao continued to smile.
The soldiers immediately surrounded the entire convoy. The sudden attack scared Tang Ji and others to death. Who would have thought that this group of people would be so courageous.
"You have to take responsibility for your actions!" Tang Ji's face turned pale. It seemed that something was not going well today.
Fang Jingyao ignored him and summoned a soldier and said to him: "Report to the regimental commander immediately and say that Fatty Tang has been caught!"
