Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 229 Surround the spot to fight for aid!

"Brother Chu, Captain Li, take a look."

Hearing this, after receiving the telegram from Gu Jiaping and reading it, Xu Rui smiled and handed the telegram to Li Yunlong.

After reading it, Li Yunlong handed it to Chu Yunfei.

"Nagata Taro has no confidence to break through."

After Xu Rui waited for the two of them to finish the circulation, he immediately smiled and said, "This is a report to Yoshino Shinozuka, asking for reinforcements."

"Moreover, additional reinforcements were sent."

Li Yunlong then said: "Judging from the deciphered content of the intercepted devil's radio, after dawn, the devil's bomber may fly over Duguling to launch an air strike on our attacking troops."

"Our current air defense means, at most, can only be some heavy machine guns shooting into the air, which can't stop the air strikes and bombings of the little devil's bombers at all."

Chu Yunfei also nodded, and said in a concentrated voice: "My 358th regiment doesn't have any anti-aircraft guns either.".

"Basic air defense used to use Maxim heavy machine guns and other heavy machine guns to shoot at the air, and it was extremely passive."

After a pause, Chu Yunfei continued with a dignified expression, "Once the sun rises, no matter how many, even a few, the little devil's bombers are dispatched, they will pose a huge threat to us."

"So, we have to think of a countermeasure."

Chu Yunfei finally said.

"There is no way for air defense now."

Xu Rui said with serious eyes: "So, the best solution is to take Dugu Ridge before dawn."

"Annihilate the remnants of the Devil's 36th Division retreating to Dugu Ridge!"

Hearing this, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong both looked solemn.

It's not a good guarantee that these devils can be dealt with before dawn!
After all, there are at least 6000 troops in the hands of the old devil Nagata Taro, and the fighting will and strength should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, our side has the thirty 303mm mountain guns and twelve howitzers captured on Dingjun Mountain in 75 days.

The 105mm howitzer is still in Jinghai County for the time being, and has not been brought with Xu Rui and others when they marched westward. After all, the 105mm howitzer is a bit heavy.

However, the thirty 75mm mountain cannons captured by the Devil Artillery Regiment were still brought along. In addition, Chu Yunfei’s artillery at Jiangjunling, basically the artillery fire completely suppressed the devils on the main peak of Dugu Mountain and the dozen or so hills around it. soldier.

Thinking of this, Xu Rui immediately said to Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong, "Brother Chu, Captain Li."

"There are still more than two and a half hours before dawn. In these two and a half hours, we will try our best to capture Dugu Ridge and wipe out the remnants of the Little Devil's 36th Division."

Xu Rui then said in a concentrated voice.

"Then follow the previous method, bombard Dugu Ridge, and then concentrate the incendiary bombs to burn Dugu Ridge."

Chu Yunfei said in a concentrated voice, his murderous intentions shuddered!
"it is good!!!"

Li Yunlong also nodded in agreement, and he didn't need to be polite to deal with the remnants of the 36th Division of the Devils who committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing and looting.

"After 5 minutes, bombard Dugu Ridge for 10 minutes!"

Xu Rui said murderously: "Then, change to the incendiary bomb."

"This time, we must take Dugu Ridge before dawn, and wipe out the remnants of the 36th Division of the Devils who retreated here."

Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong nodded.

Afterwards, Xu Rui, Chu Yunfei, and Li Yunlong discussed the specific details of the siege of Dugu Ridge by the three parties.

Soon, after the discussion, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective command positions, and began to prepare.

Five minutes passed quickly, and it was just five o'clock in the morning.

Xu Rui saw that the time was up, and immediately notified the artillery company commander Wang Dazhu to direct the artillery group to violently shell the main peak of Dugu Ridge and a dozen surrounding hills.

Wang Dazhu's artillery group position!

"The target is the main peak of Dugu Ridge, and a dozen or so hills around it. There is no base number of bursts. Prepare, let go!!!"

Accompanied by the small triangular flag in Wang Dazhu's hand, he raised and lowered the command position of the artillery position fiercely in the early morning, and then one by one, they had already loaded the first shells, and the artillerymen who pulled the rope at any time immediately pulled the cannons fiercely. rope.

"Tom tom tom, tom tom tom!!!"

Countless shells were fired at high speed, and then poured towards the main peak of Dugu Ridge and a dozen surrounding hills in the early morning night.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

The ear-piercing whistle of shells streaked across the night sky fiercely.

At this time, in a devil's bunker on the main peak of Dugu Ridge, Nagata Taro and Taketo Kensaburo's expressions changed drastically as they watched the artillery shells coming from somewhere below the mountain whistling and smashing towards them with long tail flames.

"Bombardment!!!"

Taketo Kensaburo said with a changed face.

"Every department is hidden!"

Nagata Taro could only order the devil troops on the hills of Duguling to pay attention to concealment and avoid shelling.

It's just that the shells poured over very fast.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The dense shells exploded on the ground one by one, directly blasting the main peak of Dugu Ridge and the dozens of hills around it.

There are many dead trees on the main peak of Dugu Ridge and its surrounding hilltops.

Therefore, with such a fierce artillery bombardment, the Duguling Mountain was directly bombarded with flames everywhere, and some dead trees on the mountain were burned.

On the top of Dugu Ridge in the night, the flames that were soon to be bombed were everywhere.

The burning mountain fire began to spread.

As a last resort, Nagata Taro could only send some death squads to directly blast the fire zone with grenades.

It's just this move, and it's just a simple way to prevent the fire from spreading on the mountain.

Fortunately, Nagata Taro quickly sent people to find a mountain spring behind the main peak of Dugu Ridge during the artillery attack, and then directly sent troops to risk their lives to divert water to put out some mountain fires.

However, it is impossible to completely wipe out all the wildfires in the rumbling explosion.

All of a sudden, during the explosion and under the blessing package of the mountain fire, the screams of devil soldiers were also accompanied by the sound of burning and explosion.

Xu Rui and the others snorted and sneered, and continued to direct the artillery to launch violent shelling.

Then, follow-up shelling, replaced with incendiary bombs to continue shelling.

Now, Nagata Taro, who used to bully others with the powerful artillery firepower of his artillery regiment, now also feels the pain of being severely beaten by his own artillery.

And at this time, when the main peak of Dugu Ridge was violently shelled.

In the command room of the Devil's First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan City, Shinozuka Yoshinan also received the latest urgent telegram from Nagata Taro, requesting tactical guidance.

"Dugu Ridge, Nagata Taro really retreated here."

After reading the telegram sent by Nagata Taro, I saw that when Nagata Taro was unable to take Jiangjun Ridge, and with the threat from the east of Xu Rui and other troops who came from the west and chased him, Nagata Taro could only retreat south to Dugu Ling stood by and waited for help.

"Miyano-kun, what do you think we should do now?"

Shinozuka Yoshinan said with a gloomy face after handing the telegram to Major General Miyano Michiichi, Chief of Staff of the Devil's First Army.

"The 41st Infantry Regiment has been eaten by Xu Rui's troops and a part of the Eighth Route Army's New Regiment in the Nanliujiang area. Now the imperial army that has retreated to Duguling to stand by and wait for reinforcements is the 36th Division. The rest of the troops!"

Miyano Michiichi thought about it, and said bitterly: "If you just sit back and watch, the remnants of the 36th Division will definitely be wiped out on Dugu Ridge.".

"At that time, the empire had the strength of a division. In the northwest of Shanxi, they were eaten by Xu Rui and other enemy troops. This is unacceptable for the reputation of the imperial army."

When Shinozuka Yoshinan heard this, he said with serious eyes: "If we send in another reinforcement, I'm afraid the enemy army will surround them to fight for reinforcements!".
