Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

night!

The Japanese 106th Division was stationed in a village on the peak of Wanjialing, and Matsuura Junrokuro's headquarters was set up in the courtyard of a landlord's house.

This peak overlooks several surrounding peaks, allowing Matsuura Junrokuro to observe his army.

The stars were shining brightly in the night sky. When Junrokuro Matsuura saw this beautiful night sky, he wanted to recite a poem.

However, after thinking for a moment, he still couldn't speak. For this reason, Matsuura Junrokuro ordered the army to make a fire and cook as soon as possible. He was already hungry.

These days, the Japanese 106th Division has been victorious in consecutive battles. At the beginning, Junrokuro Matsuura was afraid of the troops cooking, and the burning flames became the target of shelling by the Chinese defenders.

After these days of fighting, the soldiers of the 106th Division have been chasing Ou Zhen's Fourth Army all the way, and now they are becoming more courageous.

In their opinion, Ou Zhen's Fourth Army must have been scared. Facing the Empire's military peak, the Republic of China army could only flee frantically for their lives, without even having the courage to fight.

While cooking in the Japanese camp!

An artillery battalion of the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army, under the command of Yu Dazhu, aimed the muzzle of the Type 106 mountain gun at a camp of the Japanese th Division.

This camp is the garrison point of a Japanese brigade!

The village chosen by Matsuura Junrokuro was very large. It was a union of several surrounding villages, and it was large enough for the 106th Division to be stationed.

Not far away, Yu Hua, Sun Zhen, Xue Yue, Chen Cheng and others also began to take out their telescopes and observe the Japanese camp in the village.

Throughout the village, the Japanese army lit many bonfires, and many little devils talked and laughed around the bonfires.

Yu Dazhu came to Yu Hua: "Report to Adjutant Yu that all artillery has been prepared."

Yu Hua nodded and looked at Sun Zhen: "Commander-in-Chief, our artillery is ready, please give instructions."

Sun Zhen put down the telescope and said, "Fire five rounds and see the effect."

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, under Sun Zhen's order, the Sichuan Army's artillery position and 12 Type mountain guns were aimed at a brigade of Japanese troops in the village.

This brigade of Japanese troops is located on the periphery of the 106th Division. The Sichuan Army will attack it first!

"Listen to my command and fire five rounds quickly!"

"Prepare...release!"

As Yu Dazhu's command fell, the Sichuan Army's 12 Type mountain cannons fired!

"Boom, boom!"

Dozens of artillery shells hit the Japanese camp, and the sharp sound of air flow was heard in the air. Many Japanese soldiers heard the sound of breaking the air and shouted: "Enemy attack... Enemy attack..."

A huge explosion sounded in the village. Even Matsuura Junrokuro hurriedly ran out of the headquarters, took out his telescope and started observing.

"Bagaya Road!!——"

Matsuura Junrokuro roared angrily. Through the telescope, he saw one of the camps of his division being shelled by the Chinese army. Moreover, he could judge from the sound of the opponent's artillery.

The Chinese army had an artillery brigade with such powerful firepower that Matsuura Junrokuro concluded that there must be two divisions of the Republic of China army surrounding it.

It is very likely that Ou Zhen's Fourth Army began to counterattack his own army. After all, his own army had won consecutive battles and would be able to join the 27th Division soon.

Once the Chinese army's retreat is outflanked, the initiative on the entire Wuhan battlefield will fall into the hands of the imperial army.

"Yoshi!"

A smile appeared on Matsuura Junrokuro's lips: "Order, the entire division is on alert. Also, ask the Yamaguchi Brigade, how are the casualties of the troops?"

Just when Matsuura Junrokuro gave the order for the Signal Corps to be executed, Sakurai Hazo ran over in a panic, shouting: "Quickly...quickly..."

"Gas mask...gas mask..."

Hearing Sakurai's shouting, the Japanese troops around him were not idle. They immediately took out gas masks and put them on the division commander and Sakurai. Sakurai Hazo put on a gas mask and gasped for air, "Division Commander, the army bombarded this time is definitely not Ou Zhen's Fourth Army. I suspect it is the Sichuan Army?!"

"Nani?" Matsuura Junrokuro was stunned: "Tell me about it!"

"The Yamaguchi Brigade was under shelling. The other party fired special smoke and mustard gas. I was on the periphery. After I heard the explosion, I was ready to find out."

"On the way there, I smelled mustard gas."

"Currently, among the Chinese military, only the Sichuan Army is equipped with special cigarettes."

"Baga!" Matsuura Junrokuro roared.

The Sichuan Army is now like a nightmare for the Japanese army. How dare they use special cigarettes? How dare they do this.

You know, special cigarettes have always been the right to use by the imperial army.

At the artillery position, Xue Yue and Chen Cheng saw a Japanese brigade. After being shelled, they fell to the ground and twitched. They put down their binoculars.

"Old Sun, is this the big treasure of your Sichuan Army!?"

"Yeah!" Sun Zhen nodded: "Just tell me, our big baby can't do anything for you."

It was really awesome. A large group of little devils all burped in just a few minutes.

The 106th Division of the Japanese Army Junroku Matsuura was stationed in these mountains, and the Sichuan Army had already measured the coordinates.

In this area of ​​​​the mountains, according to the habits of the Japanese army, ring fortifications will definitely be set up and stationed at night.

The 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army set up far more artillery positions than this. Soon, five other artillery positions also began to fire at the ring fortifications of the 106th Division.

Each artillery position, 12 artillery pieces, fired at a Japanese camp.

The 106th Division was stationed on several hills around here. Five artillery positions of the Sichuan Army opened fire at the same time. A large amount of special smoke and high-explosive bombs fell on the Japanese positions.

In an instant, the area where the 106th Division was stationed was filled with a large amount of mustard gas!

The 106th Division responded quickly this time. When the Yamaguchi brigade was shelled, other Japanese soldiers also began to wear gas masks, and the Sichuan Army's second round of artillery fire fell.

The Japanese army was on guard and not many of the little Japs were killed!

At this moment, inside the headquarters of the 106th Division, Matsuura Junrokuro roared angrily: "Immediately retaliate with artillery fire and knock out the Chinese artillery positions."

To know!

This time Okamura Neiji gave the 106th Division a roundabout mission. He not only replenished the 106th Division with troops, but also specifically strengthened the Japanese artillery firepower.

Originally, the 106th Division, like other divisions, had four infantry regiments, but now the 106th Division has seven infantry regiments and five artillery regiments.

The huge artillery firepower gave Matsuura Junrokuro the confidence to launch a counterattack against the Chinese artillery position.

Soon, the artillerymen of the 106th Division, two artillery regiments, began to fire on the Chinese artillery positions.

The 106th Division is a special division, which is the original four-armed division of the Little Devils. The artillery wing has 36 75mm mountain guns and 12 75mm field guns.

An artillery regiment has 48 artillery pieces. Now two artillery regiments are dispatched, with a total of 96 artillery pieces. As a result, the six Chinese artillery positions will be hit by 16 Japanese artillery pieces.

Matsuura Junrokuro knew very well that the Sichuan Army particularly liked to use half of its artillery firepower, and then wait for the Japanese artillery to strike before using other artillery to destroy the Imperial Army's artillery.

Now the remaining three artillery regiments of the 106th Division are following this method. When the Sichuan Army's artillery fire counterattacks, they immediately destroy the Sichuan Army's artillery positions.

quickly!

The Japanese artillery of the 106th Division counterattacked!

"Boom, boom!"

Countless artillery shells continued to fall on the artillery position where the 22nd Army had just been, splashing stones and soil on the mountain.

The powerful artillery strike ability immediately shocked Sun Zhen and others!

"Has this little brat taken medicine?!" Sun Zhen's eyes widened: "He's so violent right from the start!?"

Xue Yue and Chen Cheng on the side, seeing this situation, their expressions were not much better. (End of chapter)
