The battle in Xuancheng was the most intense artillery battle since Gao Jianwu's time in China. There were more than a hundred artillery pieces of various types, 75mm mountain cannons, 92nd infantry guns, 90mm small steel cannons and 81mm/82mm mortars. Under the command of the walkie-talkie, shelling was launched from three directions almost simultaneously.
The artillery positions are almost 2 kilometers away from the 11th Brigade camp, and the company reinforced with two heavy machine guns is responsible for the defensive task.
After entering the station designated by Gao Jianwu, the coordinates were fed back to the map in Gao Jianwu's mind. Compared with the coordinates of the Little Japs camp, this first round of shelling almost all sent the shells to the Little Japs tent group!
Tokunaga Shika Sasuke got up at the first moment of the bombardment.
He rushed outside the tent and looked at the shells whizzing in the air. The color on his face instantly disappeared!
Not only him, but the 11th Brigade and the North China Expedition Army Headquarters all underestimated the power of Wucheng Tubal Road!
With so much artillery fire, a Category A division of the Locust Army was no more than this. It was ridiculous that everyone thought they were facing a division of the Eighth Route Army that was short of guns and ammunition.
"Order, the first brigade moves closer to me, and the rest of the squadrons move 5 kilometers southward!" Tokunaga Shika Sasuke closed his eyes, and after a few seconds of silence, he began to make announcements to the swarming communications troops. The first command.
"Telegram to the headquarters of the North China Expeditionary Force that we have encountered a large-scale attack on Tubal Road. The enemy used more than a hundred artillery pieces of various types! Requesting tactical guidance!"
"Order! The cavalry brigade covers the heavy artillery brigade and immediately turn south! After retreating 5 kilometers, establish an artillery position to counterattack!"
"Order! The artillery battalion of the brigade immediately launches a counterattack on the spot!"
...
Faced with an extremely unfavorable situation, Tokunaga Shikazasuke issued many orders in succession. The first thing he had to do was to get out of the enemy's artillery strike circle as soon as possible!
Staying here now is a dead place, lifeless in the face of so many artillery attacks.
Fortunately for him, since he took over the command, he required all his men to sleep with their clothes on and maintain a high level of combat readiness. Now he has finally improved his reaction speed. After the first round of shelling, the survivors rushed out one by one with guns in their hands. tent.
I have to say that the little devil has become smarter after being beaten more often.
However, Gao Jianwu, who was observing from a distance, discovered the Jaap's actions, and after completing a round of three rapid fires, he decisively changed the target and began to focus fire on the Jaap's moving artillery!
The two artillery positions of the Little Japanese were originally the second in Gao Jianwu's order of attack.
Because when the cannon fires, the little devils will definitely wake up, and the infantry will rush out of the tent and scatter.
The result was indeed like this. The little Japs reacted much faster than before. The little Japs rushed out one after another much faster than before. Under the reflection of the burning tent, Gao Jianwu found that all the little Japs were neatly dressed.
This is coming prepared.
However, Gao Jianwu is not discouraged. After all, the little devil is not mentally retarded, and this situation is also common sense.
】
In this case, the little Japanese artillerymen who are inconvenient to move will not have any peace of mind.
Looking at the impending imps in the direction of the artillery brigade of the brigade, each of the imps actually stood in front of the artillery and worked intensively. Gao Jianwu took the lead in targeting them and quickly distributed the revised parameters of the artillery bombardment to each artillery position. Three minutes later, the first The artillery fire from one artillery position began to pour on the little devil's artillery position, and 5 minutes later the second artillery position also opened fire at them!
Ten minutes later, the artillery position of the Little Japanese Brigade was basically just a pile of tattered limbs!
At this time, the Little Japanese heavy artillery brigade had just packed up and prepared to run away!
But how could Gao Jianwu give them a chance? After a call, various artillery shells began to bloom within a few hundred meters of the Jaap heavy artillery brigade. The first heavy artillery tractor was killed, followed by the second and third!
The fire caused by the explosion of the artillery shell illuminated the place where the Japanese heavy artillery brigade escaped red. In Gao Jianwu's telescope, the ignited trucks were as bright as flowers!
Forming a beautiful scenery.
It's just that Gao Jianwu didn't have time to appreciate it now. He passed by in a flash and continued to look for the fish that slipped through the net, commanding the artillery group to completely destroy it.
In comparison, cars are much more conspicuous than people, but a heavy artillery brigade only consists of 12 tractor artillery trucks. Gao Jianwu commanded the artillery group to quickly eliminate this group of tractor trucks fleeing south, together with the surrounding small Japanese cavalry brigade. All suffered heavy losses!
When Gao Jianwu turned around and started to focus his attention on the 11th Brigade again, the battlefield was full of little Japs fleeing in formations of skirmishers. Only one part shrank together and started to attack towards the east!
This is the direction of Gao Jianwu's Ping An cluster. Nearly ten thousand elites are still lying in wait and have not moved at all. Only the artillery position not far away is still spitting out shells and continues to bombard the scattered Japs skirmish line.
However, the speed of the artillery fire has been greatly reduced. After all, after several rounds of rapid firing, the mortar barrel began to heat up.
"Call the cavalry regiment with the front finger and immediately move out to seize the artillery left by the Japs on the southeast side!" Gao Jianwu stared at Tokunaga Shika Zuosuke's gathered team, and he was not panic at all. At present, the Japs on the battlefield were concentrated except for this area. There are more than a thousand people, and the little devils in other places have dispersed. It's time for the cavalry to show off their power!
The cavalry regiment ambushing the front line in the south happened to capture the Japs heavy artillery first at this moment. This is a strategic piece of equipment that even Gao Jianwu could not explode. The Japs officers above the left are not easy to kill on the battlefield. Now they encounter There were more opportunities at the Alliance level and above, so Gao Jianwu had the opportunity to kill one or two in one battle.
However, Gao Jianwu didn't know that in this battle, the general who was more difficult for the Japs to kill would have no chance.
Suzuki Shaoyang has returned to the North China Expedition Force headquarters after handing over the team. The current 11th Brigade is Tokunaga Shikasuke Daizuo and Yamada Nakazuo of the Heavy Artillery Brigade have the highest official rank.
There are only a bunch of Shaozuo captains left in the rest of the brigade.
The value is one to two 92 infantry cannons!
Speaking of which, a major general who slipped through the net lost 100 million!
As the cavalry regiment appeared on the battlefield, Gao Jianwu called Yang Regiment to send a battalion to prepare to follow the cavalry regiment to receive this part of the artillery.
"Young boy Gao, why are your eyes so powerful? You, the smeared old man, can only see a general picture, but you can also command the artillery to hit the target accurately! This ability is definitely the only one among us in the Eighth Route Army. This time, Li Yunlong stayed with Gao Jianwu and commanded all the teams.
The original battle group was led by Zhang Dabiao. Although Li Yunlong was reduced to a supporting role in the front finger, the front finger had more things to do. A steady stream of information was collected and prepared, and Gao Jianwu was now busy observing and commanding the frontline battles. Unable to get away at all, Li Yunlong naturally took over this part of the work.
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield began to become clearer, and Li Yunlong's orders were issued. Only then did he have time to come over and discuss the situation with Gao Jianwu.
But watching Gao Jianwu concentrate on observing the enemy's situation and giving on-site command, Li Yunlong also waited for a long time before Gao Jianwu stopped to take a breath.
"Just average, third in the country!" Gao Jianwu made a joke and then explained. "Actually, I did my homework in advance, pre-observed and calibrated the coordinates of this area. You see there is a tree over there, yes, there is a bird's nest. That is position 6, coordinates 1881, 2405."
The principle is this, but Gao Jianwu is not mapping in reality, but through real-time calibration feedback of high-precision maps in his brain.
"I see." Li Yunlong suddenly realized, "But I, Old Li, can't do this job. I don't understand the coordinates at all. And I think you still want to calculate. You are indeed a person who went to the little devil's hometown to stay abroad. "
"I think today's battle is almost settled. Are you going to stay or leave? Is it time to implement our plan to fight in Yunzhong?" On the top of the mountain, in addition to a few radios and a few stations constantly connected to various brigades or battalions at the front, Level walkie-talkies, only Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu are left, not even a staff officer.
So Li Yunlong was not polite at all.
"We are not in a hurry." Gao Jianwu continued to observe the brigade-level cluster of little Japanese with his binoculars, and began to ask the correspondent to call the artillery to conduct a covering artillery bombardment on them. While still not delaying communication with Lao Li.
"After this battle, the little Japanese's reaction is very important." Gao Jianwu stared at the place where the shells fell. Some fell into the skirmish line of Tokunaga Shikazusuke's brigade, and some missed, and began to report the revised parameters.
"Intelligence shows that the Japs in Yunzhong are not moving at all, and the 26th Division has made no further movements in the south of Jinyang. We still have time to wait and see the next plan of the North China Expedition Army Headquarters, whether they will mobilize a larger number of Japs. Come to attack Wucheng. If there is no movement in the short term, we will attack Yunzhong directly with the main force of the Daqingshan Cavalry Regiment and mobilize the 26th Division back! If we get to that step, you may need to go to the Jinsui Military Region in person, commander. Mobilize the main force of the Jinsui Military Region."
Although Gao Jianwu spoke lightly, Li Yunlong felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it. It was not fear, but excitement. Ever since Gao Jianwu proposed to attack Yunzhong and Jinyang, Li Yunlong felt that something was wrong even in his calculations. Now that Gao Jianwu said this casually, he suddenly became enlightened.
But isn't this plan too big? There is no headquarters. With his face like Li Yunlong, he can mobilize the main force of the army as big as the division commander?
Li Yunlong suddenly felt a little weak. The task Gao Jianwu gave him was too heavy a burden.
That's not the teacher here. Li Yunlong dares to beg for help?
It's not a big mountain anymore, so what should he do?
It's just that Lao Li is a man who cares about face. Gao Jianwu said this casually. He couldn't give in like this. Taking advantage of the dark night that Gao Jianwu couldn't see the changes on his face, Li Yunlong quickly returned to normal.
"Well, if the North China Expeditionary Army sends heavy troops to attack, will we have no choice but to run away?" Li Yunlong asked, changing the subject.
