Chapter 176 Can the war still be fought like this? (First update!)
Many people turned around and looked at the impact point of the cannonball in the distance, feeling a little confused.
Isn’t there no fire support?
How come everything is so good again?
Especially those who had just scolded Yu Xiaoqing were at a loss.
Did you blame Yu Xiaoqing by mistake?
However, they soon discovered something was wrong.
Because the artillery shells were hit from directly in front of them, not from the artillery position behind them at all.
"Reinforcements?" He Shuguang asked doubtfully as he looked at the smoke-filled fortifications in the distance.
“Sir, where are the reinforcements coming from?” the subordinate asked in confusion.
Hearing this, He Shuguang rolled his eyes. If you ask me, who should I ask?
How the **** do I know there will be reinforcements?
At the same time, he felt a chill in his heart. He was completely disappointed with Yu Xiaoqing.
Two regiments and more than 2,000 people were sold like this.
I don’t know if this is a mutiny or something else.
For a moment, He Shuguang looked sad, and suddenly understood why Zhang Lixian would rather escape to the Sichuan Army than go back.
If it were him, he would probably rather run away than come back.
"Sir, what should we do now?" His subordinate's voice brought him back to reality. Looking at the shells falling in front of him, He Shuguang turned around, met his subordinate's expectant eyes, and then said loudly.
“Follow me to kill the Japanese.”
After saying that, he stood up, holding a Thompson submachine gun, and charged towards the Japanese position.
“Kill the devils.”
“Kill the devils.”
“Kill the devils.”
On the other side, Zhang Lixian and his men were attacking the Japanese position.
With the help of the cover of artillery fire, we did not encounter much obstacle for the time being.
The main reason is that the Japanese army was stunned. They did not expect that someone would attack them from behind.
Zhang Lixian put down the telescope and picked it up again, feeling very anxious.
He also thought that that **** Yu Xiaoqing had no artillery support and let two regiments of soldiers attack Nantianmen.
This is simply a way to die.
He didn't understand why Yu Xiaoqing let them attack Nantianmen without making any preparations.
Do you really not care about the lives of these people?
In his eyes, are they just cannon fodder?
For a time, Zhang Lixian was extremely disappointed with Yu Xiaoqing.
Originally, I thought that Yu Xiaoqing had changed his mind and really wanted to attack Nantianmen.
Now it seems that everything is an illusion.
Yu Xiaoqing is still the same Yu Xiaoqing from beginning to end.
“Battal Commander, we have captured the Japanese positions according to the planned plan, and the forward positions are advancing.” The voice of his subordinates brought Zhang Lixian back to his senses, he thought for a moment, and continued.
“Tell them not to think so much, break through the Japanese defense line, and try to join up with Yu Division’s troops.”
"yes."
At the same time, Cun Yunsheng was also looking at everything in front of him with a telescope on a high ground.
“The terrain of Nantianmen is indeed very complicated, and it is much more difficult than the hills we captured before. Yu Xiaoqing doesn’t provide fire support because he wants these two artillery regiments to be completely annihilated.”
Hearing his words, Meng Fan, who had just arrived, couldn't help but sneer.
“Yu Xiaoqing really doesn’t regard us as human beings at all. Two elite infantry regiments were lost like this.”
“Sir, these guys are unlucky for following Yu Xiaoqing.”
Cun Yunsheng glanced at him and said nothing, but he murmured in his heart, if you hadn't met me, how much better do you think you would be?
The ending is not the same as others, a thousand more tombs have to be added to Nantianmen.
"Okay, let's not come here. We just happened to take all the soldiers that Yu Xiaoqing didn't want. Originally, I was still thinking about where to get veterans to expand the army. Now it's just right. Yu Xiaoqing just sent us two regiment veterans. This expansion The soldier is finally settled." Cun Yunsheng's smile almost widened.
Originally he thought Yu Xiaoqing listened to his words, but who knew that this guy didn't listen at all.
"Tuan Zuo, so you came to Nantianmen in person. In addition to revenge, you also focused on Yu Xiaoqing and the two regiments, right?" Meng Fangliao said meaningfully.
"Hahahaha, you can't say that. The main reason is to chop off Usuke Hirai's head. Masao Watanabe was burnt last time, so it can't be burnt again this time, right?" Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Meng Fan had a look of disbelief.
He knows very well what his family members are thinking.
"Let the artillery battalion aim at the tree fort and blow it up." Cun Yunsheng picked up the telescope, took a look, and said again.
“Isn’t that just a big tree?” Meng Fan asked in confusion.
From his perspective, it is a big tree.
"Really? Take a closer look, what is that?" Cun Yunsheng did not answer, but let Meng Fanxie continue to look at the tree fort.
“Didn’t you notice that there were no trees around, only that one big lone tree? Do you think it’s normal?”
“Hey, what you said is a bit abnormal.” Meng Fan nodded, then kept adjusting the focus, and finally saw traces of cement pouring on the big tree.
“Tuanzuo, isn’t this the little devil’s headquarters?”
“It’s basically fine if nothing unexpected happens.” Cun Yunsheng put down the telescope, but he didn’t expect that Usuke Hirai would finally use this big tree again. Perhaps the design of Nantianmen was designed by Renzan Takeuchi.
“Let the artillery continue to fire at the tree fort and shoot out all the artillery shells. I want to see how long this tree fort can last.” Cun Yunsheng sneered and ordered.
“Yes, Tuanzuo.” Meng Fanlao responded.
Suddenly, several 120mm heavy mortar shells hit the tree fort in the distance.
In the tree fort, Colonel Usuke Hirai looked at the falling shells with fear.
At first it was just an 81mm mortar, but it turned into a 120mm heavy mortar.
The killing radius exceeds 25 meters. Since the surrounding area is bare, the shock wave is borne by the people inside the tree fort.
Although there is concrete to block it, people can't stand it if it keeps blowing up for a long time.
"Haga..." Looking at the unstoppable shells, Colonel Hirai Usuke cursed loudly. He now hated Takeuchi Renshan to death.
At the beginning, he did not agree to place the headquarters in the tree fort.
The other party told him that it was absolutely safe here.
Ordinary artillery shells cannot penetrate the defense of the tree fort.
This sentence is correct!
With Master Yu’s strength, it is probably impossible to destroy this tree fort.
But no one expected that the Sichuan Army would make a crosscut at this time. Not only that, they would also attack from the rear.
This made Colonel Usuke Hirai feel very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty Colonel, there are almost four to five thousand enemy troops at Nantianmen now, and the firepower of the Sichuan Army is obviously stronger than ours. They used a special weapon to cause heavy casualties to our soldiers." The words of the chief of staff made Hirai Colonel Maofu felt a thump in his heart.
No way!
He suddenly remembered the demise of the Takeuchi Regiment.
The Sichuan Army should have mastered the tactics of how to break through potholes.
Thinking of this, Colonel Usuke Hirai felt a chill in his heart.
Especially since he had a sworn hatred with Cun Yunsheng, he retreated for a while.
Withdraw?
This idea kept rising in the mind of Colonel Hirai Usuke. Why seek death when you can live after all?
If the Sichuan Army Corps had not joined, he would definitely not have withdrawn, and might even have completely wiped out the two attacking regiments.
It's different now. The Sichuan Army is coming, which means that Nantianmen will inevitably be breached. If you continue to defend it, you are just courting death.
Thinking of this, Colonel Usuke Hirai spoke.
“Burn the regiment flag first.”
Hearing this, the chief of staff was stunned and looked at the other party in confusion.
“Your Excellency, Colonel, are you burning the regiment flag so early?”
Although the current war situation is somewhat unfavorable, the regiment flag will not be burned down so soon.
“Just in case.” Colonel Hirai Uosuke shook his head and said.
It's better to burn it first, just to be sure.
If this is captured again, the Fifteenth Army will be completely disgraced.
“Hai.” The chief of staff nodded and immediately ordered his men to burn the regiment flag.
“After the bombardment is over, retreat immediately and retreat to the east.” Seeing more and more shells falling, Colonel Hirai Usuke was frightened, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to retreat.
“Huh? Retreat?” The chief of staff was even more surprised.
"Retreat, the Sichuan Army is well prepared, and now we are surrounded by enemies from both sides and attacked from both sides. If we don't retreat, the 56th Search Regiment will be completely doomed." Colonel Hirai Usuke said firmly.
If the potholes in the Takeuchi Mountains had blocked the Sichuan Army's attack, he might have continued to hold on.
As a result, Takeuchi Renshan, who designed this set of drawings, was disappointed. He now does not believe in the potholes designed by this guy at all.
So he made up his mind and began to retreat.
“Hai.”
Here, Colonel Hirai Uosuke is preparing to retreat with his men.
Yu Xiaoqing, who was on the other side of the Nu River, burst into tears and kept mumbling, I'm sorry to my brothers, I'm sorry to Xiao He.
Especially when the Japanese mountain artillery began to counterattack, Yu Xiaoqing's heart was as sharp as a knife. He knew that his two art regiments were doomed.
But he had no choice but to watch them die.
As for artillery support?
Tang Ji disagreed at all. He believed that there was no need to waste artillery shells.
It's good to go up there with those two regiments. In addition to the reconnaissance firepower, they can also consume the Japanese artillery shells.
In the future counterattack, casualties can also be reduced.
"Tuanzuo, Xiao He and the others don't care?" A soldier behind him couldn't stand it anymore and asked.
"How to control it? I can't command anyone now. Xiao He and Xiao Zhang once reminded me to be careful about Tang Ji, but it's a pity that I didn't listen." Yu Xiaoqing regretted.
The last person who warned him was Cun Yunsheng, but he didn't take it seriously. As a result, half of the group came back.
Now we don’t take it seriously, and as a result, no one can direct it now.
At this time, there was a violent explosion on the Nantianmen. You could tell by the sound that it was obviously a heavy artillery.
The Japanese army on the opposite side had no heavy artillery at all.
“Where did the heavy artillery come from?” Yu Xiaoqing asked in confusion.
Not only was he confused, but others were also confused.
They did not expect that there would be heavy artillery.
You must know that the artillery regiment of the Yu Division only has a few 105mm howitzers, and there are no large-caliber heavy artillery at all.
The explosion on the hilltop on the opposite side was definitely not the sound of a howitzer exploding.
They are all veterans, you can still hear this.
It's just that like Yu Xiaoqing, they were also confused and didn't know where the gunfire came from.
"It's not the Sichuan Army that's coming back, right?" A soldier's words made Yu Xiaoqing stunned.
I immediately picked up the telescope and kept looking for something.
If it is really the Sichuan Army that fights back, then the idea of capturing Nantianmen by yourself will be completely ruined.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoqing wanted to slap herself several times, why did she listen to Tang Ji's deception again.
In fact, it was not that he wanted to listen to Tang Ji's deception, but that he was fascinated by the titles of deputy army commander and army commander.
If you really want to attack Nantianmen, you should arrest Tang Ji as soon as possible.
At the Nantian Gate, Zhang Lixian personally held a submachine gun and kept crawling forward, shouting loudly.
“Xiao He, Xiao He, are you **** dead?”
“Boom!”
While roaring, he threw a chili grenade into the hole.
The intense stimulation made the little devil in the pit choke.
They did not expect that the enemy would be so damaged.
Some of the Japs who couldn't bear it ran out directly.
As a result, they were sieved by dense bullets.
“Batalion Commander, Battalion Commander, here, here.” A soldier pointed at the fallen soldiers of the Yu Division not far away and shouted loudly.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Lixian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately trotted up to the Yu Division soldier, touched his neck, and found that he was still breathing.
“He’s still alive, let the health workers carry him down quickly.” Zhang Lixian greeted loudly.
Then they moved forward again. This time they saw more and more Yu Division soldiers falling to the ground, and they quickly had people rescue the wounded.
Put aside the dead ones first and rescue those who are still alive.
“Xiao He, Xiao He, where are you?” Zhang Lixian shouted anxiously in his heart.
"I'm here, I'm here." It seemed that his call finally received a response. When Zhang Lixian heard the response from someone in front, he immediately rushed over with others.
There were only a dozen people left around He Shuguang.
“Xiao He, Xiao He, are you dead?” Zhang Lixian exclaimed when he saw He Shuguang lying on the ground.
"Fuck you, even if you die, I won't die. Damn it, this little devil is really good at digging. The entire mountain has been dug, and there are shooting holes everywhere. What, how about your people's losses?" He Shuguang scolded After saying this, Zhang Lixian became worried.
At the same time, I felt moved in my heart. I didn't expect that the only person who really cared about me was Zhang Lixian.
“My people are pretty good, I estimate there are about a dozen of them.” Zhang Lixian thought for a while and concluded that they should be casualties because they have experience in mountain warfare, so they were very skilled at Nantianmen this time.
"Ah? How is this possible? More than half of my men suffered casualties, and some companies were directly defeated." He Shuguang said in disbelief.
"You will understand in a moment." Zhang Lixian did not explain, but asked him to watch how his men should attack.
Chili pepper grenade, a recoilless rifle, blows up holes and blocks the shooting holes, and then throws a specific pepper grenade. The Japanese soldiers inside were choked and couldn't stand it, so they got out on their own.
This series of operations stunned He Shuguang.
So the war can still be fought like this?
He finally understood why, in the same mountain battle, Yu Division's troops suffered heavy losses, while the Sichuan Army Corps was able to easily capture the Japanese positions.
First update! There’s more behind!
