Wujiapo!
It has been two hours since the enemy and we stopped artillery fire.
The Yamazaki Battalion was waiting for reinforcements, while the 1st Battalion kept digging trenches during this period, waiting for combat orders from the regiment headquarters.
After talking on the phone with his boss, Shen Quan led the guard company to the trenches of the first battalion and observed the situation on the top of Wujia Slope.
Zhang Dabiao's blood was boiling, and he said with a broadsword: "Captain, please give the order. I will charge forward with a suicide squad, and I will definitely be able to capture the Yamazaki Brigade."
When Shen Quan heard this, he rolled his eyes at Zhang Dabiao: "With your style of play, even if I give you ten death squads, you won't be able to charge forward. The little devil occupies the commanding heights. What's the difference between you rushing up blindly and risking your death?"
"Hold this anger first, and you will beat me later."
The reason why Shen Quan had been waiting was that he wanted to wait until the Japs from Tianhe County and Lijiazhuang were dispatched before he could launch an attack on Wujiapo.
Since we are going to fight, we must make a name for ourselves!
"Yes, leader!" Zhang Dabiao responded.
Zhao Gang observed the Japs in Wujiapo and said, "Old Shen, are we just going to wait like this? What if the Japs don't send reinforcements?"
"Old Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Gang: "I think we should put some pressure on them to urge the Japanese to support the troops."
Shen Quan smiled, gave Zhao Gang a thumbs up and said, "You are indeed my good political commissar, and I think of him together."
"Da Biao, send me three mortars and aim at the top of the Wujia slope to bomb. You are not allowed to stop without my order!"
"yes!"
Zhang Dabiao responded loudly.
In addition to the artillery battalion, the four infantry battalions are also equipped with corresponding fire coverage weapons. For example, one battalion has five mortars and three heavy machine guns.
Two minutes later, five mortars aimed at the top of Wujia Slope and fired shells in unison.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
There was continuous artillery fire, and bursts of yellow sand were blown up all over the sky.
Yamazaki Erping, who was hiding in the trench, kept calling the headquarters for help: "General, please urge the support troops to rush to Wujiapo as soon as possible. We can't hold on any longer."
After ten rounds of bombardment, Shen Quan waved his hand and stopped the bombardment.
Five mortars, one round is five rounds, ten rounds is fifty rounds.
Fifty artillery shells hit the same place, even if it is steel, it will make a hole, let alone just loess.
After the bombardment, the fortifications that the Japanese had finally built were in ruins.
"The artillery fire has stopped. Hurry up and build fortifications. It is very likely that the Eighth Route Army will rush up soon."
Yamazaki Nihei had a very flexible mind and asked everyone to devote themselves to the construction of fortifications as soon as the artillery fire stopped.
The adjutant on the side said dejectedly: "Captain, the eight-way firepower is too strong, do you think we can still hold on?"
Yamazaki Nippei smiled confidently: "Don't worry, General Yoshio Shinozuka has sent support troops, and they can get here in three hours at most.
As soon as the support troops arrive, we will cooperate internally and externally, and then the advantage of the battle will be in our hands. "
Yamazaki Erping thought Shen Quan was too simple.
"Go ahead and tell everyone not to show their heads. We will wait for reinforcements to arrive before we launch a counterattack."
The adjutant responded: "Ha Yi!"
Looking at the top of the slope with yellow sand flying in the sky, Yamazaki Nippei couldn't help but sigh: "Today's glory will definitely belong to me, Yamazaki Nippei, and I will become the most courageous hero of the Japanese Empire."
Compared with the confident Yamazaki Erhei, Shenquan at the foot of the mountain seemed very calm, and he actually started to drink a little wine at this moment.
He didn't panic, since the situation of this battle was already in his hands.
