"Leave two observation posts, and retreat the rest into the cave!"
The third company commander knew that it was just a tentative attack by the Japanese, and a more violent attack was yet to come.
"Brothers who are dead should also be brought along. Don't let the Japanese shells blow up. If they are broken into pieces, they won't be able to hold them together!"
As the third company commander finished speaking, the soldiers who were about to walk back were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other to see if their comrades around them were still alive.
Half a minute later, they took the bodies of six fallen comrades and withdrew to the air-raid shelter behind the position. This had been dug long ago. They had been guarding here for several months. The preparations could not only have a few trenches.
Just as the third company commander led his men back to the air raid shelter, the whistling sound of artillery shells followed, shaking down a lot of dust.
"Jingle Bell......"
The phone rings.
The third company commander ran to the phone, picked up the phone and shouted: "Hello?!"
"Captain?"
"What? Make your voice louder, it's hail falling from the sky!"
"The situation is okay. I just had the appetizer and the main course hasn't been served yet!"
"I don't have time to count the number of people who were beaten to death. I've reimbursed 6 of them here!"
"Yeah?"
"clear!"
The third company commander put down the phone, turned around and said with a smile: "The regiment commander said that the kid's artillery position was found by the gang of bastards from the military reconnaissance battalion. The artillery regiment is taking aim at it. Hehe, it's time for the kid to find it." Let’s taste what it feels like to be bombed!”
. . . . . .
In the air, artillery shells from the direction of the Japanese army flew past wave after wave and landed on the third company position.
And not long after the third company commander hung up the phone, two artillery shells flew from the other direction, flying straight towards the Japanese.
The position of the 36th Division Artillery Regiment.
Originally, the artillerymen of the little Japanese were in high spirits, but they did not notice at all that on the mountain 3 kilometers away, several Eighth Route Army soldiers were staring at them with artillery mirrors.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two shells landed not far from the Japanese artillery position.
The little devil who was loading was stunned for a moment when he heard the movement.
Then all the Japs jumped up as if their chrysanthemums had been stabbed.
Those who pushed the cannons and those who led the horses led the horses. Although it was chaotic, it was obvious that they wanted to move the artillery position.
However, before they could move the cannon 10 meters, a large wave of shells accurately hit the enemy.
They didn't know that someone had touched the area, nor did they know that the person on the mountain with the artillery mirror staring at them was named Zhao Zhangcheng...
This is a person temporarily borrowed from the 129th Division by Political Commissar Wang of the Taiyue Column.
. . . . . .
Although the artillery regiment of the 36th Division was attacked by the Taiyue Military Region Artillery Regiment commanded by our artillery god, the little devil will not care about objective disadvantages if he is determined. The decision is still the decision.
Under the orders of the division commander Wu Dennan, the Japs of the 36th Division withstood the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army and launched wave after wave of attacks towards the 3rd Company position.
One squadron after another rushed towards Baishan Mountain, with an interval of no more than 5 minutes.
The Third Company repelled four enemy attacks within two hours. By the fifth time, the ammunition could not keep up.
After all, the bullets each person carries are limited, and the rest are in the hole at the back.
Therefore, the third company commander could only use his unique trick - take the guy and retreat!
The Japanese finally occupied the position of the third company.
However, before they could be happy for long, the third company commander hiding in the air raid shelter behind him smiled and pressed a detonator.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
The defense line, which was only 300 meters long and 100 meters deep, erupted with 50 violent explosions!
It almost collapsed the air raid shelter behind it.
. . . . . .
"idiot!"
"Eighth Route Army, warriors are not the only ones! They know how to play this kind of conspiracy!"
"I'm so angry!"
Behind the Japanese army's position, Chang Wu's face turned green when he saw this scene through his telescope.
The imperial army that just broke into the Eighth Route Army's position consisted of a large group!
Counting the losses during previous attacks, his 36th Division had suffered nearly 1,500 casualties.
Then, he saw a scene that made his eyes split even more.
On the Eighth Route Army position opposite, more than 50 Eighth Route Army soldiers appeared out of nowhere and gave the imperial troops one last blow.
"What!"
The telescope was almost crushed by him.
At this moment, a messenger came up behind him and reported: "Report! Division commander, the 20th Division has arrived in Huozhou, and the heavy artillery brigade is looking for artillery positions! His Excellency General Ushijima called, and he said to invite the division Captain, please be patient!"
Chang Wu was even more angry when he heard this.
However, he didn't attack his subordinates. After taking a deep breath, he turned around and left.
Half an hour later, Changwu Rennan rushed back to Huozhou by car and met Ushijima Minoru.
"senior!"
After meeting, Ushijima Minoru first said hello to Nagamai Denou.
He is in the 21st batch of the Army Military Academy, while Chang Wu is in the 19th batch.
Originally, according to the seniority structure of the Japanese army, Nagamai's salary should be higher than that of Ushijima Minoru, but now Ushijima is leading the permanent 20th Division, while Nagamai is leading the ad hoc 36th Division. , although everyone is a lieutenant general.
From this point we can see the difference in ability between the two.
It is worth mentioning that although Nagamai Denou was older than Ushijima Minoru, he was admitted to the Japanese Army University three years later than Ushijima Minoru. It was already a great honor for Ushijima to call him "senpai".
Chobu Denou glanced sideways at Ushijima and said, "Ushijima-kun, do you need me to give up my main attacking position?"
An ordinary person with emotional intelligence would definitely be humble and flatter his comrades by flattering him, but who was Ushijima Minoru?
"Yoshi! Then, please let me seniors enjoy the performance of the 20th Division!"
Changwu's face was distorted with anger, and he thought to himself, if I had a heavy artillery brigade in my hands, would it be your turn to yell at me?
He gritted his teeth, resisted the urge to challenge Ushijima, threw off his cloak and turned to leave.
Ushijima Minune watched quietly, snorting from his nostrils.
He had already told Changwu Dennan to wait until he arrived before fighting, but this guy insisted on hitting the wall. He had been fighting for 2 hours, and he couldn't defeat the position where a company of the Eighth Route Army was stationed. He even folded the artillery regiment into it. .
Shaking his head and ignoring these old-school bureaucrats, Ushijima Minoru said: "Order!"
A staff officer stood at attention: "Hi!"
"After the heavy artillery brigade is ready, immediately prepare for artillery fire on the Eighth Route Army positions and depth! I want the mountains opposite not to see a single complete ground!"
"Hi!"
. . . . . .
Three hours later, at 2 p.m., deafening gunfire rang out in the Caijiazhuang and Tianjiazhuang areas in the southern suburbs of Huozhou.
32 Taisho 7-year-old 150mm cannons, 18 90-type 240mm heavy cannons, and 10 96-type 305mm heavy howitzers carried out devastating bombings on the White Mountains 12 kilometers away.
However, Ushijima Minoru also did not expect that several daring Eighth Route Army soldiers would follow him all the way from Yuncheng to Huozhou.
At this time, outside the artillery position of the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade, two "savages" covered in weeds poked their heads out of the reeds beside the river beach.
The faces of these two guys were covered in greasepaint, so they couldn't identify who they were.
"Hurry up and report to the commander that the Japanese's First Heavy Artillery Brigade is in the Caijiazhuang area south of Huozhou City!"
Listen to this voice, could it be Geng Wanzi or Geng Daxia?
On the side, special operations team member Zeng Xianji took out a microphone from the "grass" on his body and called out: "Dong Yao Dong Yao, I am Dong Guai. If you hear me, please call me back. If you hear me, please call me back!"
. . . . . .
Lingshi, the headquarters of Taiyue Column of the Eighth Route Army.
As luck would have it, Liu Yu had just arrived with his troops.
While chatting with the old political commissar, Liu Yu heard a clear cry.
"Report!"
Yang Xing'er walked in and reported with a serious face: "The special forces found the enemy's heavy artillery brigade position in the Caijiazhuang area in the south of Huozhou City!"
"Caijiazhuang?"
Liu Yu and Political Commissar Wang quickly looked at the map.
After reading it, Political Commissar Wang smiled: "What a great place. It is surrounded by the Fen River and its tributaries to the east, south and north. Only the northwest entrance has a road. It is really difficult for ordinary people to attack him by surprise! However, if something happens, Come on, where is he going?"
Liu Yu also smiled and turned to look at Yang Xing'er: "Order, the bombers are dispatched immediately to bomb the Japanese heavy artillery brigade! Then tell Lao Luo the coordinates, and then ask him, he left before me, and I don't know where the artillery positions are. Is it done?"
"yes!"
Myolie Yang saluted and prepared to leave.
Originally she was in the joint service force, but later she insisted on being closer to Liu Yu and spent half a year learning how to tinker with the radio station. Later, she was transferred to the confidential section of the headquarters.
"Wait!" Liu Yu shouted.
Myolie Yang paused and looked at Liu Yu in confusion.
However, I heard someone criticize with a fierce face: "I haven't finished my order yet. Why are you so anxious? You can't get rid of this impetuous temper?"
Yang Xing'er's little mouth suddenly pouted.
But Liu Yu still looked serious. He turned around and looked at the map again, and then stopped his finger at a location on the map: "Call the airborne regiment again and tell them to go here, Houma!"
