Age of Rebirth

Chapter 650 Fight Back

On the first day of the attack on the Huangyadong base, Okamura Neiji was very satisfied with the results of the artillery shelling. With such a sharp weapon in hand, all obstacles would be reduced to dust. Three days, only three days, the battle of Huangyadong It can be a full stop, Okamura Ningji set a timetable for himself, as long as a gap is opened in the defense system of Huangya Cave, soldiers from the imperial army will pour in like a storm, and the seemingly solid fortifications will become China. The soldier's grave, maybe it won't take three days, right?

Consolidate the occupied positions and continue shelling the follow-up Chinese army positions. This is the second order issued by Neiji Okamura. From the looks of it, the Huangyadong base seemed to be trembling under the violent shelling.

This time, Chang Feng learned his lesson and did not let the cannon that Neji Okamura hoped for play much role. He has ordered all the troops on the second line of defense to withdraw to the third line of defense, which is the last line of defense. This is also the last barrier in the core area of ​​Huangyadong, and further inside is the industrial area and living area.

Chang Feng and Ma Chaoyang summed up the lessons of the first line of defense. They found that the destroyed bunkers were all built on the flat ground at the entrance of the valley, while the bunkers rebuilt from caves were rarely damaged. Soldiers were not killed by shelling, but were killed by shock. The third fortification was precisely based on natural caves and artificially transformed, which can effectively avoid being destroyed by the little devil's perverted cannon. [

However, there is a problem that has not been solved. How can the soldiers hiding in the cave bunker avoid being killed by the shock wave?The division commander Tang Qiuli sent a telegram. The high efficiency of the intelligence system of the independent division once again played a role. The Japanese army attacked the giant artillery in Huangyadong. All relevant information has been clearly placed on Tang Qiuli's desk.

He also has some knowledge of the huge cannons used by the Japanese army to deal with the Soviets based on the materials of later generations. In history, this kind of super-large-caliber cannons did not play any role. Strategic deception was carried out, and there was no sign of a Soviet in the direction of the bombardment of the giant artillery. The murder weapon that the Japanese tried their best to build became a display. Unexpectedly, Neiji Okamura used it to attack Huangya Cave. History is such a master magician.

The defense system of Huangya Cave was designed by him himself. He knew every fortification by heart. Chang Feng gave up the second line of defense, which made Tang Qiuli sigh at Chang Feng. This guy could see the root of the problem at a glance. In his telegram to Chang Feng, he affirmed Chang Feng's method, and clearly pointed out how to save the lives of soldiers by dealing with the huge shock wave when the Japanese cannon exploded.

He did not give any guidance on specific tactics. Chang Feng's performance made Tang Qiuli full of confidence in defending the battle of Huangyadong. After receiving the telegram from the teacher, Chang Feng did not have the slightest doubt. It proved that the division commander's judgment and foresight are absolutely accurate. He seized the time to convey the division commander's order to all regiment commanders of the garrison, and demanded that they strictly follow the division commander's method. Out of shape.

In the core area of ​​Huangya Cave, they immediately got busy. When the Japanese artillery bombarded the second line of defense, although they could only lie in their ears and talk, everyone carried out the preparations in an orderly manner according to their respective tasks, showing the strength of the independent division. Amazing organization and discipline across the troops.

Tang Qiuli's method, in today's view, is really useless. All the quilts are used to make soundproof equipment, and all the holes are sealed. The soldiers guarding the bunker each have a pair of cotton earplugs. , put thick cotton quilts under the feet to play the role of sound insulation. When the Japanese army bombarded, all soldiers had to lie on the cotton quilts. Tang Qiuli could only use these simple methods. If he had a sound-proof sponge, he would never Will use these alternatives.

Fortunately for him, when Huangya Cave was built, Tang Qiuli ordered all factories and research institutions to be located in the huge cave because of air defense considerations, and the open sky in the core area of ​​Huangya Cave. On the ground, there are only rows of lodging houses, and it is no pity to blow them up. The big deal is rebuilding. There are trees all over the mountains and plains. I am afraid that there will be no materials. The Japanese planes did not come. It can be regarded as worthy of his old nest.

The bombardment of the Japanese artillery lasted for one and a half hours. 28 shocking monsters poured tons of steel into the mountains, highlands, and woods of Huangyadong. Jumping into the air, the evening sun was dimmed, which added to the tense atmosphere. The soldiers, who were shocked by the huge explosion, resisted the discomfort in their hearts and were busy preparing sound insulation materials. Said that the teacher's method is really good, the soldiers who use these soil sound insulation materials, the restlessness in the heart is greatly reduced, and the normal work is not affected.

The shelling of the Japanese army stopped. Taking advantage of the last sunset and before being swallowed by the mountains, the Japanese army once again occupied the second defensive position of Huangyadong without firing a single shot. Harsh cheers echoed in the valley. , *** The plaster flag and the wolf-tooth-like military flag rose above the position, and under the setting sun, it was as bloodthirsty as scarlet.

Some excited Japanese soldiers, with tears in their eyes, choked up and sang the Japanese military song, something like "The red collar badges on the soldiers' uniforms are like the thousands of cherry blossoms that bloom and fall on the land of Asia. All countries are safe and healthy!" There was a sound of howling wolves, and for a while, it was full of momentum. Ma Chaoyang, who was observing the movement of the Japanese army in the hidden department, was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. The little devil is careless, fuck a guy.

The phone call was made to Chang Feng, and it happened that Chang Feng also had this plan. The Japanese army is not good at attacking at night. After winning two games in a row, they were arrogant and careless. Guaranteed to let these howling Japanese soldiers have a feast of artillery, the troops quickly retreated to the cave, and the Japanese heavy artillery could not find the target in retaliation.

Just do what you said, all the mortars were gathered together, which shocked Chang Feng and Ma Chaoyang who came up with the idea. Except for the ones in the hands of the troops, Zhang Quan, the logistics minister, took out all the mortars in stock. There are more than 6000 doors, and it is strange to see the brigade commanders and regimental leaders stunned for a while. This "Stingy Zhang" usually cares so much when he receives equipment. Why is he so generous today?

Zhang Quan said proudly: "This is all our independent division's current possessions. Don't look at us being stingy at ordinary times, but we can afford it at critical times. After being bombarded by little devils for a day, you guys have to vent your anger." , By the way, all of them use high-explosive guns, I will fire guns, and you go to the medicine store to get them!" After speaking, with a swipe of a pen, each mortar fired ten rounds, which was unambiguous at all.

Chang Feng said with a wry smile: "Minister Zhang, you don't need so many mortars and cannons. The troops have enough. Five cannons are enough. We don't have so many artillery, don't we?" Zhang Quan was very sorry. He ordered his subordinates to transport the brand new mortars back to the cave.

Even so, the three combat brigades, plus the trained artillery recruits, have more than 900 mortars that can be dispatched. Looking at the long queue of veterans with calm faces in front of them, and the nervous recruits in excitement, Chang Feng is serious He said: "Tonight's task is a surprise attack. All commanders should pay attention. Each mortar is only allowed to fire five rounds. The battle must be ended within 6 minutes and the concealment department must be withdrawn immediately. Discipline, the commander is immediately dismissed! Let's go!"

The troops were divided into two groups, sneaked out from the secret passage, walked along the high ground on both sides of the valley, and touched the two wings of the Japanese army. The figures of several brigade commanders who led the team disappeared in the darkness. At this time in the past, in the core area of ​​Huangyadong, the lights were bright, the sound of machines was rumbling, and the laughter of busy soldiers and military workers from various factories came from time to time. The smell of the potion came, and it didn't have a smell.

Now, in the core area of ​​Huangya Cave, there is no light, and it is as quiet as death. It seems that you can hear the low howling sound of the mountain wind blowing the treetops. It has been here for several months, and the constant wind blended into the fiery life, I am not used to the silence of Huangyadong, in this dark night, how many restless hearts, how many pairs of wide-open eyes, waiting for the safe return of comrades-in-arms.

Why is he not like this? The only thing he worries about is that the soldiers will get red-eyed and rush to avenge the sacrificed comrades, and refuse to give up the chance to get it. If this is the case, the loss will be great. The 6 minutes he gave , It was strictly calculated that the time for the Japanese artillery to counterattack should be at least 15 minutes, and 9 minutes is enough for the troops to retreat to a safe area.

He listened intently to the movement outside the valley. There was no sound at all, and the night was as silent as solidified. The troops had set off for more than 30 minutes, why hadn’t they done anything yet? Perhaps the Japanese army had taken precautions and had no chance to strike. Also, the commanding heights around the campsite On the ground, there must be a large number of sentries. This is a matter of common sense. Chang Feng sighed, it is better not to fight than to attack by force. [

The brigade commanders who lead the team are veterans who have experienced many battles. They will never act recklessly if they have no chance. Why should they worry? The division commander is waiting for half of the specific operational guidance for the defense of Huangyadong.

Suddenly, the eyes are bright, the direction of the second line of defense outside Huangya Cave, on both sides, on the rolling hills, there are countless bright spots rising, dense like meteors, gorgeous like fireworks, in the dark night sky, with A series of beautiful arcs suddenly fell from the highest point, and then, a loud noise that shook the ground clearly entered Chang Feng's ears.

Visible to the naked eye, where the second line of defense is, a fire ignited soaring into the sky, half of the sky was dark red, and the sound of explosions continued to come, Chang Feng excitedly clapped his hands, it succeeded!
