Age of Rebirth

The first thousand and 120 eight chapters of Degang raid

Everything is calm, the annoying rain is still falling unhurriedly, only the white belly of the other party is gradually showing, which heralds the arrival of another dawn. Lieutenant General Nan Yuntaro woke up from the haze, this time One night, he didn't sleep well, not because he was worried about anything, but because of Commander Ito's order, which was still raging in his heart.

If it was not the order to stop entering immediately, then he should be sleeping in Inywa Town at this moment. Last night, he declined the kindness of his subordinates to get two local flower girls, and generously donated the two crying flower girls to Seeing the ecstatic appearance of his own guard captain and guard soldiers, Nagumo shook his head.

It's not that Lieutenant General Nanyun has a high level of integrity, but that he has a high vision. In his opinion, the local flower girls are not up to the mark, not to mention dark skin and short stature, and they don't understand style at all. Compared with the local geisha, they are not at the same level at all, especially the Miss Hanako I met in Ginza, Tokyo before I went to Cochin China, she is called ecstasy.

After thinking about Ms. Hanako's plump and fair body, Nagumo thought about the matter at hand. Perhaps, today, he should have received an order from Commander Ito to continue marching towards Myitkyina. Suddenly, he didn't feel sleepy at all. , simply got up, stood in front of a large military map, and acted out the route he was going to pass. [

North of Degang, on a hillside eight or nine kilometers away, four rocket artillery battalions directly under the Corps have entered the artillery position. The artillery commander Zheng Yong picked up the phone, "Is this the division commander? I am Zheng Yong, the rocket artillery battalion. Good preparations for shelling, just wait for the commander's order," Tang Qiuli nodded slightly, and Zheng Yong gave himself a surprise. He thought that it would be very good to have a battalion rush to the battlefield. Now, Zheng Yong didn't know it. If we can pull up the four battalions, the battle will be much easier.

He said to Zheng Yong: "Zheng Yong, start shelling on time at four o'clock. Can you guarantee that the first round of shelling will cover the Japanese camp?" Zheng Yong hesitated, and replied: "Master, if civilian use is not considered The target, our four rocket artillery battalions, can completely cover all the targets at once," Tang Qiuli said without a trace of emotion: "All-round coverage, the first round of bombardment will kill more than a quarter of the active force of the Japanese army."

Zheng Yong has this ability. The four Thunder Rocket Battalions are sixty 32-barrel rocket launchers. One salvo is nearly 5 large-caliber rockets. After 10 minutes, the second salvo can be fired. Attack, after six rounds, there are more than 1 rockets, and the power is more than [-] to [-] howitzers.

If he hadn't considered the houses in Degang, Zheng Yong wouldn't have asked this extra question. As far as the pigsty is big, a rocket launcher battalion could wipe it off the map. All-round coverage, three to 10 minutes of rapid firepower, after my order, the shelling will begin," Zheng Yong gave the order, and secretly clicked his tongue, "Damn, this time, I have to be a butcher!"

At [-]:[-], Tang Qiuli said to Yang Ketian, chief of staff, "Ketian, confirm the positions of the brigades again." Yang Ketian picked up the phone, shook it violently, covered the microphone with his hand, and said, "Master, join the attack!" All the brigades have arrived at the designated positions, and the commander of the tank unit asked for instructions, should the follow-up tanks be put into the battlefield?"

Tang Qiuli thought about it and said, "Tell them, after the battle starts, all the tanks that arrive will be thrown into the assault. We must deal with this Japanese army as quickly as possible."

At four o'clock in the morning on June [-]th, Tang Qiuli looked at his watch and said to Yang Ketian, "Let's start!" Several staff officers holding phones shouted into the microphone at the same time: "The attack begins!"

In the rocket artillery position, following an order from the commander Zheng Yong, a flame burst out suddenly in the night before dawn, and two thousand rockets were fired, dragging a long tail flame, which was obviously different from ordinary bombardment. The screaming sound cut through the rain and reached the target area in an instant. In Tang Qiuli's telescope, Degang immediately burst into flames.

Five minutes later, another burst of rain flew by. The lethality of weapons such as rocket launchers against the target was astonishing. The house in Degang collapsed like a toy amidst an earth-shattering bang, and flames burst into flames. , It turned the rain into wisps of white mist.

Lieutenant General Nagumo Taro was in the headquarters, his mind was full of the question of how the troops would move in after dawn. Suddenly, there was a different scream in the sky. Nagumo raised his head suspiciously and looked at the The rain outside, if it was shelling, based on his experience, he would respond immediately, but the sound was too strange.

There was a loud noise, and a few rockets fell from the house where Nagumo was resting. The moment the flames burst into flames, Nagumo's mind was full of doubts. Immediately, this ambitious and arrogant Japanese lieutenant general commanded 7 soldiers. The multi-horse commander turned into fly ash that no one could find in the thousands of degrees of high temperature.

Wave after wave of rockets continued to fly to the target area. Three to ten minutes later, Degang was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames. Tang Qiuli was about to give the order for the infantry to start an assault. Looking at the sea of ​​flames, he smiled wryly. "It's really a cocoon. I forgot that the rocket bombardment area is not suitable for the area where our own infantry is about to pass. In this sea of ​​​​fire, I am afraid that there are no shadows of Japanese soldiers. Most of my troops will be burned first."

He had no choice but to order: "Notify the brigades, and then attack after 10 minutes." Chu Ziye, the brigade commander, put down his binoculars and said to the chief of staff: "Master, this is a joy, but it also prevents us from launching an attack immediately. In other words, the rocket launcher is too powerful!"

Twenty or ten minutes later, I saw the burning flames of Degang gradually dimmed. More than 10 people directly under the corps rushed towards Degang Town from four directions. The battle progressed very smoothly, and the troops hardly encountered resistance. , Occupied the ruins of Degang, and almost all Japanese soldiers were killed under the rapid artillery fire for 10 minutes.

Liu Hongzhang, the brigade commander of the first brigade, looked at the battlefield full of rubble and smoke from the ruins, grinned, and said to Chief of Staff Ren Zhaoquan: "Zhaoquan, report to the division commander that the first brigade has successfully occupied the northern part of Degang. When the Japanese army resisted, all the little devils died!"

Then, Liu Hongzhang seemed to be unsatisfied and continued, "This is the end? In the heavy rain, I ran dozens of kilometers of mountain roads overnight, without firing a single shot, and the little devil didn't see it. This battle is over. Dare you, we will fight in the future." Ah, let Zheng Yong's rocket artillery go to fight, we don't have anything to do with infantry!"

Chief of Staff Ren Zhaoquan smiled and heard the sour taste in the words of the brigade commander. For Liu Hongzhang, who is brave and good at fighting, he went to the battlefield but did not get a chance to kill the little devil, which made him feel uncomfortable. , holding back in his heart, Huo Miaozi jumped up and down, wishing to fight with that person.

Liu Hongzhang held a submachine gun and fumbled around, trying to find a few living Japanese soldiers, even if they were wounded. The guy in his hand could also open meat, which made him very disappointed. ,Nothing at all.

Soon, Ren Zhaoquan came back and said to Liu Hongzhang: "The commander ordered that all brigades search in the opposite direction with Degang as the center. The number of Japanese tank units destroyed did not match the actual number. Possibly, part of the Japanese troops escaped the shelling, reminding all troops to be careful when searching.[

Liu Hongzhang waved his hand and said, "It's still necessary to mobilize the troops for the fish that slipped through the net. Zhaoquan, order the first and second regiments to carry out the search mission. The other troops stay put and stand by!"

In the northwest of Degang, only five or six kilometers away, there is a natural canyon, covered with dense forests and bushes, covering the space above the canyon. If you don’t look carefully, no one will find it. The staff officer of the Japanese Central Route Army Major General Nakazawa Jinxiong hid in a big cave.

Zhongze is completely lucky. Although Nanyun's residence in Degang Town is the largest house in the town, it cannot accommodate the entire command organization. , There are still many caves around, so Nakazawa ordered all No. 11 Division, most of No. 15 Division, and the Third Tank Brigade who were camping in the wild to enter the canyon to camp.

Jinxiong Nakazawa's intentional move saved the lives of more than 3 Japanese soldiers and more than 200 tanks of the Third Tank Brigade. Zhongze was in the cave, wrapped in an army blanket, sleeping soundly.

The earth-shattering explosion woke up Zhongze suddenly. He felt that the whole cave was shaking, and the sand on the top was falling down continuously. He rushed to the entrance of the cave and was stunned by the situation in front of him. In Gang Town, there was already a sea of ​​flames, and there were still cannons making strange noises, which continued to fall.

Nakazawa immediately understood that the troops stationed in Degang had been raided, and it must have been done by the Chinese army. He immediately called Nanyun's residence, and there was a blind tone. Among the gunfire, the jade was broken for His Majesty the Emperor. At this moment, the commanders of the No.11 and No.15 divisions and the commander of the third chariot brigade who saw the fire in Degang Town, etc., more than a dozen A Japanese commander barged in with a panicked look on his face.

Needless to say, these senior officers of the Japanese army all knew what happened. The troops stationed were devastated by the Chinese army. Immediately, Jinxiong Nakazawa took over the command of the troops and immediately attacked Degang. Commander Nagumo The news of Guanyu Sui was reported to Commander-in-Chief Ito, and then Nakazawa held a brief emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Before the meeting was over, a major came in, "Report to the Chief of Staff, at the entrance of the canyon, the Chinese army was found, with a strength of about one regiment, and it was gradually approaching. However, we were not found. How should we deal with it?"
