The night was still silent.
Liu Houming pushed aside the weeds as tall as a man in front of him. His pair of bony eyes were turning rapidly. He was observing the situation of the Japanese army station.
As Liu Houming saw, the Japanese troops evacuated in a hurry on the front line, resulting in a large loss of materials, and even the tents used by the front line troops were lost. Most of the logistical supplies were in Tangtou Town. With the fall of Tangtou Town, these supplies also flowed into Zhiyi Tuan's hands.
It's just that after the Zhiyi Regiment captured Tangtou Town, Sato Masaki came back with reinforcements before they could conduct a citywide search of Tangtou Town. This was a very depressing thing.
If the Zhiyi Regiment had time to conduct a large-scale search of Tangtou Town, they would definitely find that they had made a fortune!
It is precisely because of the large shortage of supplies that these Japanese soldiers who usually live in field tents can only sleep in the open air. There is a lot of cold dew at night and it is cold. It does not look ordinary and miserable...
"These little devils don't live in tents. This is very difficult." Liu Houming whispered to Xu Qian beside him.
Xu Qian nodded and said, "Indeed, our artillery fire will not be able to achieve the maximum effect."
"Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, do you remember the location clearly now?" Liu Houming asked.
Xu Qian nodded and said, "Remember it clearly, how about we withdraw first?"
"Wait a minute, we are all here now, how can we not prepare a little surprise for the little devil?" Liu Houming said with a sinister smile, and then made a "laying a booby trap" gesture.
These methods of laying booby traps are generally speaking of laying traps. In this regard, Zhang Tianhai taught him a lot from the beginning of the Songhu battlefield to the time before the group set off.
Since the first regiment's training, the combat positioning of the special agent company has become infiltration, reconnaissance, raids, etc. By modern standards, it should be similar to the existence of a reconnaissance company.
So, Liu Houming and the officers and soldiers of the special agent company began to "work". They skillfully opened the twist cap of the grenade, then trapped the grenade's drawstring with a thin rope, and suppressed the grenade with heavy objects such as stones. Then he tied the branches with thin ropes and stuck them on the ground. If he was not careful, the grenade would detonate.
These grenades were placed as close as possible to the Japanese garrison. Regarding this, Liu Houming's intentions were quite sinister. After all, when the gunfire sounded, with the density of shelling ordered by the regiment commander of the artillery battalion, the Japanese army would definitely cause riots. When the Japanese army causes commotion, it's time for these booby traps to come into play!
After making all these preparations, Liu Houming waved his hand very coolly and said: "Go! Withdraw!"
Something seemed to be happening around here, but nothing seemed to happen. Everything was quiet. The Japanese soldiers who had been tired for a day slept very soundly. Even the mental state of the sentry on guard was also With some trance.
…
The camera returned to the headquarters of the Zhiyi Regiment, and the time returned to fifteen minutes ago.
At this time, Pang Kui, dressed in plain clothes, came to the headquarters of the Zhiyi Regiment and met Chief of Staff Guo Qiliang.
After seeing Guo Qiliang, Pang Kui immediately stood at attention and saluted, performed a very standard military salute, and said: "Hello, sir! Pang Kui, the captain of the Linyi militia guerrilla team, reports to you!"
Seeing this standard military salute, Guo Qiliang smiled and said: "It seems that Captain Pang has been in the military for many years. It can be seen from the small details of the salute. I am Guo Qiliang, the chief of staff of the first regiment directly under the third theater. "
"Sir Guo is joking. When it comes to marching and fighting, you are the expert. As a small militia captain like me, I can't do anything in my duties. Hehe." Pang Kui scratched his head with an embarrassed face, looking like an honest man. appearance.
"This time, you have made a meritorious service. When the time comes to report the details of the battle, I will definitely report your merits to the commander of the theater." Guo Qiliang said seriously.
"Thank you, sir!" Pang Kui stood at attention again and saluted.
"You're welcome. The wounded soldiers of our First Regiment will be handed over to you now. I would like to thank you all on behalf of the First Regiment!" Guo Qiliang solemnly saluted with a military salute.
"Sir, don't worry! Our brothers are bleeding and dying on the front line, and we will never treat our heroes like this." Pang Kui promised very sincerely.
…
Time always passes quickly. At three o'clock in the morning, most of the Japanese troops were already in a deep sleep. Even if they were sleeping in the open air, they were still shouting one after another.
Inoue Ishizo is a basic commander of the Japanese army, oh, that is, the squad leader. After the temporary reorganization, he took on the responsibility of the squadron leader. There is no way, in the melee yesterday, the grassroots troops The casualties of soldiers were not small, and the casualties of junior officers were also not much smaller.
"Sakurako, I will go back to see you after my father wins the battle." Inoue Ishizo was murmuring in his sleep. Everything in the dream was very beautiful.
Just when Ishizo Inoue dreamed that he had been promoted to general and was about to take his whole family on a trip to Tokyo, a series of screaming shells hit the Japanese army's garrison. Many Japanese soldiers were still awake. They were all killed, or were blown away and killed by the aftermath of nearby shell explosions.
Don't forget, these are eighty artillery shells, fired within two minutes, which means that at least forty artillery shells fall densely on the position every minute. The overwhelming artillery fire in an instant can destroy the Japanese army. They were blown away alive.
Inoue Ishizo was no exception. When he woke up from the bombardment, the surrounding area was already in panic. The Japanese troops who were stunned by the bombing were fleeing in all directions. Although they believed in force, they were not afraid when fighting. Death, but now they are behind overwhelming artillery fire, and there is no bunker!
Anyone is helpless in the face of this explosion that can destroy everything in the world. The rules of nature cannot be completely changed by man alone!
An explosion occurred on the position. Countless Japanese soldiers were running in the explosion wave, as if they wanted to avoid the intensive artillery fire. Some Japanese soldiers even ran directly to the nearby woods. In the panic, many Japanese soldiers stumbled The booby traps laid by the special agent company of the first regiment, and then caused many explosions, made people panic.
In the darkness, they couldn't even tell whether it was a bomb explosion or an artillery shell explosion. In short, it was chaos. Basically, they were in a situation where the soldiers did not know the generals and the generals did not know the soldiers.
If a team of the national army breaks out in the chaos, it will definitely form a melee with the Japanese army!
…
Linyi frontline headquarters.
The rumbling sound of artillery naturally woke up Pang Bingxun, Xu Zuyi and others. Their first reaction was: Are these little Japanese crazy? Launched an attack on Tangtou Town in the middle of the night?
As a result, Xu Zuyi, Pang Bingxun, and Zhang Zizhong, the three people who represented the most influential people in the Linyi frontline headquarters, gathered again in the combat hall of the combat headquarters late at night.
"Hello, Chief Xu!"
"Hello, Chief Xu!"
After seeing Xu Zuyi, Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun stood at attention and saluted at the same time.
Since Xu Zuyi lived nearest, he was the first to arrive among the three.
"You two, you are finally here. The fighter plane is fleeting, come and study and analyze the combat situation!" Xu Zuyi said in a deep voice.
Striding up to Xu Zuyi, Zhang Zizhong stood at attention and saluted: "Sir Xu, I believe that there was such a dense artillery fire late at night, it is very likely that the Japanese army is launching a fierce attack on Tangtou Town. Now our 59th Army The main force and the troops of the 40th Army have already entered the battle location as planned. We should immediately gather the forces from these locations to completely annihilate this stubborn enemy in Tangtou Town!"
Pang Bingxun didn't think much and agreed with Zhang Zizhong's opinion: "I also agree with Commander Pang's opinion. This time the Japanese troops from the Sakamoto Brigade are coming in force. The purpose is to annihilate the main force of our army in the Linyi area and occupy Linyi. This time it will be better." It was easy to defeat this Japanese army until it was severely weakened. We cannot let this Japanese army go because of hesitation. Otherwise, by the time the Japanese reinforcements arrive, our army will be severely weakened!"
Looking at the two people in front of him who no longer cared about their old grudges, Xu Zuyi nodded and said: "It's rare for the two army commanders to have such unanimous opinions. And what you two said is indeed reasonable, so be it! Order the troops immediately, and follow the instructions Plan No. 1, let go of the fight! Don’t let a single Japanese soldier escape from Tangtou Town!”
"Yes! Sir!" Pang Bingxun and Zhang Zizhong stood at attention and saluted at the same time. After that, the two enemies who had fought tooth and nail smiled at each other, quite like they wanted to settle their grudges over a glass of wine.
…
At this time, Zhang Tianhai, who was outside Tangtou City, did not know that his sudden burst of artillery fire had triggered a series of chain reactions.
Fortunately, this Japanese army received a death order from Itagaki Seishiro. If it had been a Japanese army with a weak will to fight, or if the battle target was not so obvious, I am afraid they would have run away long ago...
At this time, Zhang Tianhai was standing in front of the artillery battalion, looking at the cannons in front of him with excitement, but feeling very comfortable in his heart.
It is true that the artillery of this era is not as advanced as the artillery of the 21st century, but at that time he was a small squadron leader, so naturally he could not direct the artillery fire unless it was to raid the enemy headquarters.
But this time it was different. Although the eight cannons were indeed a bit small, the moment when the salvo of artillery fire was fired was still quite shocking, especially if they fired under their own orders, the feeling was different.
"Zhao Chengge, you did a good job. I believe that this time, you will be able to blow up the little devil!" Zhang Tianhai happily patted the artillery battalion commander Zhao Chengge on the shoulder and said.
Zhao Chengge had a gloomy face and was about to burst into tears. He said, "Regiment leader... our artillery camp... we have no shells..."
If the artillery's artillery has no shells, it is worse than a fire stick, which can hurt people. If the artillery has no shells, it is just a pile of living scrap metal...
Well, dismantle it and sell it for scrap metal that no one has bought yet...
