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

Chapter 231 Call twelve 105mm howitzers to join the battle!
"Five hours is five hours."

Nagata Taro gritted his teeth and said: "We will stick to the main peak of Dugu Ridge and the dozens of hills around it, and fight fiercely with the enemy. It should be possible to persist until twelve o'clock at noon today.".

"Mr. Zhuteng, order all the soldiers to fight back after the enemy has reached the mountain. They must fight the enemy at close quarters. Without my order, no suicidal pig attack is allowed."

Taketo Kensaburo said emphatically: "Yes, division commander."

"Now, before the 2nd Brigade reaches here, we have to rely on ourselves. Every soldier of the Imperial Army is our strength to persist until twelve o'clock at noon today."

Amidst the rumbling explosions, Nagata Taro spoke again to Taketo Kensaburo in a concentrated voice.

"Master, don't worry!"

Taketo Kensaburo said with a serious face: "If we fight like this, it should not be a problem if we persist until twelve o'clock at noon."

"Um!!!"

Nagata Taro nodded, and then looked down the mountain through the observation port of the headquarters.

I saw that the enemy's shelling continued.

"Xu Rui, wait!"

Nagata Taro gritted his teeth and muttered bitterly in his heart.

Hundreds of meters below the main peak of Dugu Ridge, Xu Rui's temporary headquarters.

At this time, the main peak of Dugu Ridge and its surrounding hilltops were surrounded by Xu Rui, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong.

Among them, Xu Rui's temporary headquarters is on a small hillside to the east hundreds of meters below the main peak of Dugu Ridge.

On this small hillside, there are many trees, suitable for hiding, and then observe the situation on the main peak of Dugu Ridge.

"Regimental Commander, Chief of Staff, the headquarters of the Devil's First Army sent a call back to the headquarters of the 36th Division. This is the deciphered telegram after intercepting the devil's radio."

While Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu were standing on the hillside, holding up binoculars to observe the shelling of the main peak of Dugu Ridge under the cover of trees, the voice of communications staff officer Gu Jiaping came from behind.

I saw Gu Jiaping walking quickly to the hillside, then stood at attention and saluted, and then handed the deciphered telegram to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui nodded, then read the telegram with the help of the luminous light, and handed it to Luo Youdu, Chief of Staff.

"Hey hey hey!!!"

Xu Rui smiled at Luo Youdu who was reading the telegram: "Another support army was dispatched to reinforce Nagata Taro.".

"It seems that Yoshino Shinozuka doesn't want the remnants of the 36th Division to be completely wiped out by me, Chu Yunfei and others!"

Luo Youdu, Chief of Staff of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army who read the deciphered telegram, heard the words, and then smiled, and said: "If I were that old devil Shinozuka Yoshinan, I wouldn't be able to sit back and watch the remnants of the 36th Division be wiped out by us." .”

"Now that the war has been fought, I feel that Shinoka Yoshinan sent the 2nd Brigade from Zhenting City to reinforce Nagata Taro. The entire army of the regiment will be wiped out at that time, which will greatly shake the morale of the army for the Devil's First Army."

After a pause, Luo Youdu continued, "For Yoshino Shinozuka, even if he saves some remnants of the 36th Division in the end, he can at least bite the bullet and announce that the 36th Division has not been joined by us and the Shinichi Regiment. Annihilation."

Xu Rui nodded and said, "The Chief of Staff is right."

"It's just that the Devil's 2nd Brigade started from Zhenting City. Although the distance traveled all the way is more than 50 kilometers, there are no 358 regiments, or even the Eighth Route Army troops on this reinforcement route, and our 303 regiment troops are among them. It can be blocked. Even if we send troops now to set up an ambush to block this devil's reinforcement route, there is no time."

Luo Youdu asked someone to bring a map, looked at it under the night light, then nodded and said: "There is no way."

"We can no longer mobilize our troops, and neither can the 358th Regiment. And the new regiment under Commander Li Yunlong can't be mobilized from its defense zone now, after all, most of their troops have already been mobilized."

After a pause, Luo Youdu continued: "Fortunately, the road from Zhenting City to Jiangjun Ridge is all mountain roads. The devils marched for five hours according to their speed, so they can reach Jiangjun Ridge."

"But this is the ideal rapid marching speed. It is impossible to maintain the rapid marching speed for five hours. Therefore, it is estimated that it will take at least one or two hours longer to follow the devil's reinforcement route from Zhenting City to Jiangjunling."

Xu Rui looked at the map, and said in a low voice under the early morning light: "That is to say, if the Devil's 2nd Brigade wants to reach Jiangjunling, it is estimated that it will arrive at around [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am after dawn. Maybe kill Jiangjun Ridge?"

"That's right, group seat."

Luo Youdu nodded and said.

"Then there is no problem!"

Xu Ruining said: "There are still two and a half hours before dawn. We must eliminate the remnants of the 36th Division in Dugu Ridge before dawn."

"So, under the cover of artillery fire, we will really fight a tough battle."

Luo Youdu nodded, this was already expected.

"Gu Jiaping!!!"

At this moment, Xu Rui suddenly said to Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer.

"Team seat."

Gu Jiaping stood upright.

"Immediately ask the communications soldiers to send a report to the troops left behind in Jinghai County, and ask them to drag the twelve 105mm guns seized from the Devil Artillery Wing back to Jinghai County from Dingjun Mountain by truck. The howitzers are directly pulled by trucks to Dugu Ridge to participate in the battle."

Xu Rui said in a condensed voice: "It is estimated that there is still time, let them quickly send the 105mm howitzer here along the road from Jinghai County to Duguling.".

"Participate in the battle to bombard the remnants of the devils on Duguling Mountain!"

Hearing this, Gu Jiaping stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, group seat." Immediately, Gu Jiaping immediately walked down the hill, and then quickly asked his communication soldiers to send a report to the defenders who stayed behind in Jinghai County.

"It is estimated that the twelve 105mm howitzers should be able to be towed by a truck to Dugu Ridge after six o'clock in the morning."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu condensed his voice.

"Ok!"

Xu Rui nodded and said, "So, we must use the twelve captured 105mm howitzers to participate in the shelling of Dugu Ridge."

"With the help of this large-caliber howitzer fire, there is a high probability of success in taking Dugu Ridge before dawn. Otherwise, no matter how many fighters there are after dawn, the devil's fighters will definitely be dispatched. At that time, we will definitely affected."

Luo Youdu nodded, now, it depends on the next attack.

At this time, Wang Dazhu, the commander of Xu Rui's artillery company, was directing the artillery group to continue to bombard the main peak of Dugu Ridge and a dozen surrounding hills.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The ear-piercing shells screamed in the air, and then in the early morning night, the shells were dense and smashed hard on the main peak of Dugu Ridge and a dozen hills around it, exploding clusters of sparks under the night .

The flames of the explosion came and went, flashing and flashing.

Although the devil soldiers tried their best to hide and avoid artillery, after all, there was no time to build anti-explosion holes and other anti-explosion fortifications on the main peak of Dugu Ridge and the dozens of hills around it.

Therefore, most of the devils could only pray for the blessing of the God of Signs, curled up with their heads in their hands, and prayed that they would not be killed by the fragments of the shells.
