Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 474

Yes, on this late autumn night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, and then the moon was bright, the sound of rumbling cannons resounded for more than three hours on the position originally belonging to the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Tenth Army of the Japanese North China Expedition Army. .

From a distance, the shells piercing the sky are like meteors galloping in the sky and then falling.

However, only those on the battlefield can see the brilliance of the fireworks after the fall.

In the words of Lao Wang, who volunteered to lead an infantry company of the 43rd Army and accompanied two infantry regiments in the battle, "Ge Laozi insists on getting it. If I have this thing in wars in the future, the devil is a ball!"

The infantry unit of the No.18 Division, which was very resistant, ran away belatedly after being ravaged by the second round of artillery fire for half an hour.

In the face of heavy artillery, the Japanese army, like their former opponents, fought with their will and body, but eventually found that the struggle was futile.

The only thing is different from their opponents, their opponents have no way out, and if they retreat, they will die!
So, the Japanese army ran away!

In the sky full of artillery fire, they were like bereaved dogs, throwing away all the heavy equipment that could not be taken away, and moved closer to the main force of the 18th Division.

The two infantry regiments that had retreated three kilometers away did not pursue them, not because they had to appreciate the power of their own artillery fire after a rare experience, but because they had a more important task to welcome the advance regiment that was about to break out of the encirclement back to the defense line.

Although the three commanders Wu, Guo, and Gu were in three battlefields, they all sent telegrams to the commanders of the two infantry regiments belonging to the 67th Division of the 108th Army and the 128th Division of the Hunan Army, ordering them to receive Tang Dao and advance troops. Regiment, before receiving them, if there is a Japanese attack, they must also guard the only way that the advance regiment must pass, even if the two infantry regiments are all wiped out.

It is a paradox in the tactical arrangement that 3000 or more people need to be sacrificed for those 3000 people, but the two army colonels are rarely resentful, especially after witnessing the direct shelling of almost an hour and a half. As a result, an infantry regiment of the Japanese army had to abandon its position.

Especially the colonel and regiment commander of the 128th Division of the Hunan Army wanted to meet the legendary Lieutenant Colonel and Battalion Commander of the Four Elements Battalion with his own eyes, and wanted to see whether he had three heads and six arms or a heart with seven orifices. Otherwise, what would he do? It is possible to kill a heavy artillery brigade and use heavy artillery to kill the Japanese in a 'high tide'.

Let alone them, when Lieutenant General Guo smiled and handed him a message from Tang Dao to the Jiashan Defense Command: "The goal has been achieved, the entire army of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade has been wiped out, and my advance regiment wants to go first Use the captured heavy artillery to block the 36th Infantry Brigade in front of our blocking formation, and then use heavy artillery to attack the Japanese invaders to mobilize and intercept the Japanese army. I hope the commander will provide the exact coordinates of the Japanese army. The coordinates of our artillery position are ", just from the front line Gu Jiaqi, the lieutenant general of the 128th division who returned to the headquarters, was paralyzed at the time.

This is so awesome, it's too good to make a big fuss!

The complete annihilation of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade is already a shocking miracle. By the early morning of tomorrow, it will definitely be the collective shock of China and Japan.

As a lieutenant general of the Hunan Army who lived and died together with Wu and Guo on the Jiashan defense line against the Japanese invaders for a week, he still knows enough about his two colleagues, one with a violent personality and the other with a calm and restrained personality. People have one thing in common - pragmatic.

The two generals who were born in the Northeast Army and the Sichuan Army, never play tricks, and don't save face. Even the battle between the Jiashan Defense Line and the 18th Division of the Japanese Army is not like what was advertised in the newspapers outside. In that way, in order to cover the retreating army from Jiashan, an infantry corps of the Northeast Army plus a Sichuan Army Division and a Hunan Army Division decided to live and die with the defense line.

These two, from the very beginning, have been thinking about how to take one army and two divisions out of this place alive, and fight the Japanese army to the death. They just hope to use the solid defense line to consume the Japanese army's strength. Otherwise, with the mobility of the 18th Division, only a few The 30,000 people with a hundred pack horses could not escape the pursuit of the Japanese army unless they abandoned all their heavy equipment.

But without artillery, with only light machine guns left, is the army still capable of fighting?The two lieutenant generals wanted to leave this irretrievable battlefield, but they wanted to evacuate, not escape. Although there was only one word difference, it was an essential difference.

But two people who are so pragmatic would actually believe such a ridiculous telegram?Seeing that the two of them were all smiling, Master Gu could tell with his heels that they trusted Tang Dao's telegram.

But this is really unbelievable. He didn't know about the surprise attack on the 18th Heavy Artillery Brigade until the evening, which made him feel like a dream. Up to now, he has fought to the death with the No.[-] Division on the opposite side. That wild plan was fraught with trepidation.

In the end, Tang Dao was lucky. Not only did he get the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, but he even came to bombard the Japanese army with the captured heavy artillery. Did he think he was fighting with a group of artillery?
"Haha! Brother Gu, I know it will be hard for you to believe it for a while, but is what this guy Tang Dao said is true? Why don't you just read the telegram sent to you by your subordinates later?" Lieutenant General Wu Seeing that the fierce general brother was stunned after receiving the telegram, he couldn't help laughing. "However, I have to remind you that this guy is amazing. Even the Japanese Navy's fighter formation has suffered a lot under his command. The Japanese Navy's bombers have not come here as much as you imagined these days, have they?"

"What? The little devil's plane has been taken down by him? Is that the one?"

In order not to stimulate the Japanese navy to go crazy, the military and political department did not report the air battle that broke out a week ago with great fanfare, that is, the results of the battle were reported internally by each army and division. It is commonplace to say that it has long been commonplace, and I didn't take it too seriously, let alone understand that the instigator of this battle was a small lieutenant colonel.

Of course, neither the Songjiang Command nor the Theater Command mentioned the name of Tang Dao. The former is out of the mentality of protecting the treasure of Tang Dao, while the latter is because there are too many people who need to share their military exploits. Army lieutenant colonel does not rank up.

"Hey, otherwise!" Lieutenant General Guo, who was always calm over there, even made a wisecrack.

The fierce commander who personally led the guards to participate in the night attack on the Japanese army was completely petrified.

However, no matter what the two lieutenant generals said, seeing is believing. When the commander of the Hunan Army returned to the front line, he received a telegram from his commander: "Master, our guns are so fierce!" After a while, the order was returned: "Te Liang guards the return route of the advance group for me. I must see Tang Dao with my own eyes."

It is said that the two translators of the 128th Division Division and its subordinate regiment scratched their heads for a long time in order to correctly translate the two words "Teliang" that can express the emotions of the officers, and finally reached a tacit understanding miraculously.

The Chinese command team got a definite answer in disbelief, and their morale was boosted, so they were naturally more determined.

On the Japanese side, Ushijima Sadao, the supreme commander of the Jiashan area, also experienced unbelievable and finally accepted.

The broken telegrams from the 36th Heavy Artillery Brigade were on his desk, and the telegrams from the [-]th Infantry Brigade and its infantry regiment that had been bombarded by heavy artillery hit his already extremely fragile nerves like a stormy sea.

But what can Ushishima Sadao do?He has only 20,000 people, and there are also more than 20,000 Chinese people on the opposite side who are biting him. That army can handle the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade and beat the 36th Infantry Brigade. The combat effectiveness can be imagined. There are heavy artillery in it, does he call out an infantry regiment or an infantry brigade to take the beating?

Everything can only wait until dawn, and the danger of heavy artillery can be resolved with the help of air superiority. If the crazy Chinese on the opposite side do not retreat to the line of defense, the artillery regiment of the division can drive them back with cannons. At that time, he will mobilize his troops again Siege and kill that Chinese army.

Therefore, the battered Japanese lieutenant general chose to ignore it for the time being.

Ignore the opponent's heavy artillery, ignore the corruption in several battlefields of one's own side, and concentrate on doing a good job in front of you.

This kind of psychology is explained in modern language: as long as I don't feel pain, it is others who suffer.
